Five water-tight bulkheads divide P into six compartments. The space occupied by : M achinery is fastened in the strongest manner, by a s eco te r be c of iron box-beams, and iron plated timber bea Th e el in each case to a large surface of the ship's ilinl The en gine -bearers, of wrought-iron, are very ponderous, of hitherto unparalleled strength. se, e Great Britain is propelled by engines of, nominally, et ooe -I le Power, but they can be worked up to a far Joh4nt than this. They were manufactured by M ?elan and Son, of London, on the oscillating • pr. and with multiplying power. The jarring usual i. 1 4o ech gearing 's entirely prevented by an ingenious ar genaent of the cogs on the surface of the wheels, which 4 e of tiled i n t o f our se t s , p l ace d s li g htly i n a dv a nce of each • The di ame t er o f th e screw or " propeller" is .es e est heil'7 lt is a " pitch," or forward motion of 19 feet.

They are divided into three classes, viz . .: .o,itazo.on, fore saloon, and second cabin.

This is certainly the prettiest room in the ship. te e .sables of the saloon are replete with everything that Cs oa c s t induce to the comfort and amusement of passengers.

Above this again there are hung tatne °n t l'unPets, telescopes, and patent thermometers, either side there are drawers and lockers con uteeetter arryatt's signals and other little ne . cessaries, all o n e With the utmost neatness and precision, so that se ` hi e e wantig any of these articles knows where to l e 'Ye 'end omit in a moment. iiinietplist now pass on to other parts of the vessel. to7Parmi d; t telY opposite the door of the after saloon is the Pantry, a perfect wonder to housewives, with its pfd k on 'e array of plate and crockery ware, arranged in NO, of seennsPact order. Two flights of stairs on either meth Pantry lead down to the main deck, which, `e,lsie e ' e exceetion of the space necessarily left for the t i k c tsie tY.IS devoted entirely to state rooms, the sleeping tete o `; which are fitted up with every care and comfort. el te n ine de e liztv-four state rooms in the after part, con . - 'Oti oe i nerent numbers of berths according to their e n o Na s air' The passages, on either side of which the state sel n e Plet e e se ac ranged, are lighted and ventilated in the most th ee 'utt e t,,,''anner, by windows opening in the sides of the set 'e se. o 'n , underneath the seats, in addition to which i n teple ventilating tubes all over the ship. At the •ssit roo k et ern of the vessel, on this deck, there is a losing th4clow, fitted up with sofas, and lighted by large stern e t : %rt e . From this apartment two staircases ascend to 44 4' 111 Part of the main deck, and we understand this itai e hke en ' was suggested by the confusion among the te s ti th e ,T 1 board the Amazon, in their endeavours to ii lek t during the sad catastrophe to that ill-fated to ll of 4a? this means, four distinct entrances to this ei tnr c'rt e ship are provided, conducive alike to the o et e a 4 ,t l d safety of the passengers.

In this locality, too, is the siunsS rci Os. sto re - room," or rather the principal one, sea aoon e . : to simplify the distribution of the pr_ovi cletstravella such a large number of " hungry people" (as sh e cot e f c s notoriously are), there are store• rooms in stris n e td sr ic ttnent. And here we may state, lest any one th at that among so many a scarcity of food may e tnseT, sup p t i l commissariat department has been so lib°. tet et est that there is not the remotest chance of sit e ' thtse',,g occurring ; and when we add the startling ceet 'Ale stores already on board the Great Britai o n !i po oebt considerably over the immense sum of £7,00 , ii d ttier the subject must be at once removed. There ft e l 'ter "cc of atlas and other passenger conveniences t stat e Darts tatat e of the vessel. Passages lead from the kt bay e re°l7l s to the fore-saloon sleeping berths, of TAO conamnnication with the upper deck by -Alrcases. They are ventilated on the same course, I up to a far greater by two s the entran. with th plan as the after ones, and fitted with every comfort, tliou..th in rather a plainer style. Coming on deck again, vie find the cooking galley. possessing a very large and complete kitchen range, with cooking apparatus suffi -tiv extensive to supply all on board promptly and uni .. In addition to the full quantity of water req&red, there is a condenser which will yield 2,000 gallons of fresh water daily. Forward of the galley is the engine -room, lighted by large skylights opening on to the saloon promenade. There are several tiers of galle ries running round the engine -room, from which en uninterrupted view of the machinery may be lad. On the upper tier are the ship's officers' tate rooms, and on the starboard side is " the -," when all sorts of liquors and other " creature corn " and enjoyments are dispensed, the business trans acted being " for cash only." The engineers and their of assistants are provided with berths in the tier 'ard of the engine room is the fore saloon, a table and spacious apartment, 50 feet long by 18 There are three ranges of tables, and heir seating, Both apartments are lighted and . The hanging shelves for ye each an ornamental appearance. There is, some difference in the richness of the decora. s, the fore saloon panellings being painted oak, and s in the after saloon entilated in the same manner )e distinguished by the title of _ our. There are the same sources of amusement here as in the after saloon. Ranged along the bulwarks, on either side of the forward saloon, are pens for a large supply of poultry and live stock. In the onv fore part of the_vessel ng -room s the " capstan house," containing the capstan and riding chocks, to which the cables are attached when the vessel is riding at anchor. From the capstan house is the entrance to the fore section of the second cabin, which is divided from the after portion by the interception of the machinery. The forecastle is on the deck above, and still further forward. It is divided into two compartments, with twenty berths in each, or accommodation for forty seamen in all, the number she carries, though the crew musters, in all hands, 130 per sons, the number bein ,, made up by officers, engineers, cooks, and stewards. Here, too, there are rooms for the petty officers The second cabin, below, will have am ._ r le accommodation, and indeed far superior to that offered to the same class in many other vessels. The state rooms are placed in the centre of each section, and every one contains four sleeping berths. There are 140 berths in the fore part, and 178 in the after ; or accom modation for 318 persons in all. The space between the state-rooms and the sides of the vessel forms the day cabin. The mess tables, with seats attached, are slung up ne ceiling, except at meal times, thus forming a clear acious promenade below. Large lockers are placed on each side of the cabin for the passengers to keep their clothes in, and cargo has been altogether excluded, in order to give the fullest accommodation for their luggage. There are washstands in suitable places, and other conveniences, including a pantry. The sexes will 'le placed on different sides of the ship, the females on the and the males on the starboard side. In order to ,:enty of light and ventilation, (which has been accomplished with the most marked success,) the second cabins throughout are painted white, the divisions of the state-rooms are not carried up to the ceiling, and there are hatchways open to the promenade deck, while port ^les, opening to the sides of the ship, secure both these ovide plf most important considerations in an emigrant ship. In deed, the government agents, after going over the vessel, admitted their inability to suggest any improvement, and they are the best possible authority that could be had on such matters. The second cabins are 50 feet wide, and upwards of 8 feet between decks. The after part only from the fore in being a little longer. It is entered -1 - aircases from the upper deck, which are close to to the grand saloon. 'We may add, however, le reminiscence of former days, that it was ori ginally (before the recent alterations of the Great Britain were made) the chief dining saloon, and the pillars, •‘ foliated carved work at the top, may still be seen here and there about the corners of the state-rooms. Forward of the fore section, there are hospitals for the sick, with every convenience for comfort and ventilation. Large ice-houses have been erected in this part of the ship, capable of holding fresh provisions for fifty days' consumption. _ . The quantity of coal taken on board is about 1,400 tons, chiefly Welsh, with a small quantity of anthracite and patent fuel, as an experiment, There is enough to steam the whole distance without stopping, but lest anything should occur, she will call at the Cape of Good Hope to replenish her supply, and take in live stock. It is expected she will reach the Cape in about 23 days, whither ships have been dispatched with coals to await her arrival. After two or three days' detention, she will proceed to Melbourne and Sydney, and it is confidently expected that she will reach the former place in fifty-six days from England, the shortness of which may be estimated, when we state that double that length of time is considered an average voyage for a sailing vessel. The Great Britain is fully equipped for any sudden or unforeseen emergency that may arise, should any attempt to attack the vessel be made, for she is mounted with six heavy deck guns, and arms and ammunition for 100 men. The crew of the Great Britain, as we have stated, con sists of about 130 persons in all. There has been a great desire to join this ship, and there has thus been an oppor tunity to form it of picked men. The crew have signed articles, and every man has been required to enter into bond to a large amount, with suitable sureties, to return in the ship. Most of the crew are married men. The Great Britain is to sail on Saturday next, the 21st inst., at one o'clock, and no doubt crowds will be assem bled on the pierhead to witness the departure. No ship has ever left this port in the success of which more inter est has been felt, than there will be in the present adven ture of the Great Britain, and we heartily wish her and all who go in her " God speed." We cannot conclude our remarks without taking the opportunity of acknowledging the courtesy of all those connected with this ship. To Captain Matthews, her respected commander, Mr. Cox, the chief officer, Mr. Croom, the civil engineer of the ship, who has superin tended her fittings out, and Captain Martin, the over looker for Messrs. Gibbs, Bright and Co., our thanks are especially due, for their polite behaviour towards us on all occasions, and for the kind attention they have shewn in answering our inquiries, end affording us every facility for inspecting this noble craft. A BOTTLE-NOSE SHARK, weighing upwards of 1 cwt. was brought ashore on Thursday last, at Brighton, it hav ing been entangled in a fishing net. THE SUMMER RIDE OR PROMENADE.—The peculiar virtues of C. and A. OLDRIDGE'S BALM OF COLUMBIA completely removes the difficulty experienced by Ladies in preserving their ringlets after exercise; its use so invi gorates the hair, that tresses, previously the straightest and most destitute of curl, rapidly acquire a vigour which maintains in permanent ringlets the head-dress of the most persevering votary of the ball-room, the ride, or the promenade. After the minerals and vegetables of the old world have been compounded in all imaginable ways in fruitless attempts to discover so important a desideratum, we are indebted to the Western Hemisphere for furnishing the basis of OLDRIDGE'S BALM OF COLUMBIA, the effi cacy of which in preserving, strengthening, and renewing the hair has become a matter of notoriety among all civi lized nations. Its restorative virtues are indeed a proverb, and the most satisfactory attestations to its infallibility in reproducing hair upon persons otherwise hopelessly bald, have been published from time to time by the pro prietors, 13, Wellington-stieet North, Strand, London. OLDRIDGE'S BALM causes eye-brows to grow, prevents the hair from turning gfey, and the first application causes it to curl beautifully Trees it from scurf, and stops it from falling off. Abun nee of certificates of the first respec tability are sho by the proprietors. 3s. 6d., 65., and Ils. per bottle no other prices are genuine. When you ask for "01 idge's Balm" never let the shopkeepers per suade you buy any other article as a substitute. Sold by all res ectable chemists, perfumers, and stationers. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS HAVE EFFECTED ANOTHER EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF A WOUND IN THE LEG.—Andrew Milton, an ostler, residing at Burton, about two years ago bruised his shin, and being of a full habit of body, a severe inflammation ensued, which defied every effort to subdue ; afterwards an obstinate wound formed, and although various modes of treatment were tried, it would not heal, and his leg became so bad that his surgeon urged him to / have it amputated, but not wishing to lose his limy before giving Holloway's medi cines a trial, he conenced, and he has reason to be grateful that he dX, for by their use he has effected a sound and perfecycure.

MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY We have again a long list of quotations for the Ebor Handicap, and have again to say that Weathergage is the only horse in force, he having advanced a point upon our last quotations, 6 to 1 being the highest offer at the close, after having been backed yesterday and to-day for a good stake at 7to 1. This horse would undoubtedly have been at a much less figure, had it not been that a large field is expected, which is owing to the superiority of the handi cap—many of the horses being considered well in. Hip polytus has been a little in demand this last day or two ; while, on the other hand, there has been a great disposi tion to lay against Voltigeur, Nancy, and Lady Amyott, the last-named never having been firm in the betting.

DEATH OF MAJOR YARBURGH.—This gentleman, well known on the northern turf, died on the evening of the 6th instant, at his residence, Hesling Hall, near York, in the 82nd year of his age. He was the owner as well as breeder of Charles XII. when he won the St. Leger and Doncaster Cup in 1339 ; also Laurel, winner of the Don caster Cup in 1828, and of several other celebrated horses. In all probability the stud will be given up. By his death several nominations for York, Sc.l. become void.

MANCHESTER.—The market has been quiet, but without producing any unfavourable influence on prices, which have continued firm, at previous quotations. For some descriptions of yarn the tendency is to a further advance, but, generally, prices remain without much variation. The want of anima tion is attributable to the continued favourable advices from America of the growing crops; whilst the continued unfavour able harvest weather has caused a degree of circumspection to be exercised by the home trade ; and the continued absence of the India mail has kept the India buyers inactive. Notwith standing these combined influences, which, under ordinary circumstances would have a depressing effect, the state of the market is such, that little or no impression has been produced. Manufacturers have been buyers to a fair extent of yarn, but the India demand is very slight, and the German houses are not very extensive purchasers at present. In goods the same firmness exists as in yarns, but the buying is principally for the home trade, and the demand has, no doubt in consequence of the unfavourable state of the weather for the harvest, been rather less brisk during the last few days, but quotations are without any change. ROCHDALE.—We had a very fair demand for low priced goods, but pieces of finer quality have not met with so ready a sale. Upon the whole there has been an average amount of business transacted at former prices. The wool dealers have light stocks on hand, and say they cannot replace those stocks to sell at the present prices. MACCLESFIELD. — Tbe demand for silk manufactured goods is somewhat irregular; but, on the whole, the market appears to be in a more healthy state than it has been for some time past. The thrown silk market continues healthy, and transac tions of the past week have been to a fair extent, both for home and continental purposes. Raw Silk Market.—We have no particular feature to notice. Prices are reported without any alteration. NOTTINGHAM.—Neither the hosiery nor lace trades present any features worthy of comment, each being, as they usually are at this period, very quiet, with the probability of remaining so for about another month, when both the home and Ameri can business may be expected to be resumed with their usual activity. The prices of yarn remain about the same. LEEDS.—We have had pretty good markets at our Cloth Halls, and, as a good many goods are changing hands by com mission, a full average business has been done by the mer chants. Prices are firm, without any alteration. There has also been a full average business done in the warehouses, but there has been a little less done by the foreign houses than has been the case of late. LIVERPOOL GENERAL PRODUCE MARKET. FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, Sugar: No change can be noted in the state of the market during the week, the sales only amounting to 900 Mids. B. P., chiefly to refiners, and 1,000 bags Bengal, but a slightly firmer tone was shown yesterday.—Foreign : The bond refiners have this week been the purchasers of 1,200 bags good brown Maceio at 16.5. 6d., and 180 cases very old Pernambuco at 14s. 6d.; 100 bags yellow brought 185., and 60 hlids. Porto Rico and Cuba 345. 6d., to 375. per cwt. duty paid.— Molasses : The only sale reported is 40 puns. clayed Cuba at 14s. per cwt. from store. — Coffee : There is an improved demand, and holders have rea lised an advance of la. to 2s. per cwt.; the sales comprise 900 bags Laguayra at 515., 700 bags St. Domingo at 32a. 3d. to W.. and 170 bags Costa Rica at 50s. per cwt.-300 bags of Pimento are reported at sd. per lb., and 1,000 bags Bengal Ginger at 165., also a small lot of Trinidad Cocoa at 355. per cwt.—ln consequence of a speculative demand, very large transactions have taken place in Rice, upwards of 70,000 bags of Arracan, chiefly to arrive, having changed hands at 9s. to 9s. 3d., and a small parcel on the spot at 9s. 6d. ; 6,000 bags of Bengal have also been taken at 9s. 9d. for broken siftings, to 12s. fur fine table, being an advance of 3d. to 6d. upon previous rates ; 240 tces. Carolina are also reported at 15s. to 19s. ed. ptr cwt. — Rum continues only in moderate request ; the sales are 130 puns. Demerara and 20 puns. Jamaica, at about previous prices.—Tea : There has been a little more doing this week in good blackish leaf Congou, at former prices; some parcels of common scented Orange Pekoe have found buyers at rather easier rates, but little doing in greens.—The Tallow market is without alteration; Y.C. is steady at 40s. ; a small cargo of Taganrog to arrive brought 395., 150 brls. and 10 blids. North American are reported at Us. 6d. to 395. 6d„ and a few pipes and 300 boxes South American at 355. 6d. to 38s. 6d. per cwt —About 30 tops of Lard have been sold at 58s. per cwt.— doing in Baltic Kemp.-1,350 bales of Jute of good quality, offered to-day, sold at fud prices, from £ll to .'l6 Nothing per ton LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY, AUG There has been a very steady and rather increasing demall throughout 21: week, more particularly from the trade, and quotations of all descriptions hare been fully supported. Ame rican, of middling quality, with good staple, has become very scarce, and commands a proportionately high price. In Bra zil a steady business has been done at full rates. Considerable sales have been made in Egyptian, at irregular and rather lower prices, and principally to speculators. The market has become very bare of Surat and other descriptions of East India, which command extreme quotations. Speculators have taken 9260 American, 200 Pernam, 400 Bahia, 5720 Egyptian, and 760 Surat, there have been taken for export, 3350 American, 600 Pernam, 40 Bahia, 1090 Surat, and 30 Madras. There was a good demand to-day, and the sales reach 12,000 bales, at firm rates, 6000 being on speculation. SALES. I IMPORTS. J.- ..A.. r ---- -..., ~..- ......, DESCRIPTION. I PRICES.

We had a good attendance at this morning's market, includ ing some distant buyers. Wheats were firmly held at 3d. to 4d. per bushel advance, the improvement previously attained, upon Tuesday's prices ; but to-day being exceedingly fine, the millers were less active, under the impression that, the change, if permanent, may aid them in future purchases; several fur ther large parcels, notwithstanding, were again taken by spe culative buyers, and the trade closed steadily at the amend ment. Flour was rather easier in value than yesterday, but must be quoted 6d. per barrel dearer than last market days with a limited sale. In Barley or Malt we have no change to note. Oats and Oatmeal met rather more inquiry, but cannot be noted (hearer. Beans 6d. per qr. higher. Pease unvaried. Indian Corn, ex warehouse, still in retail demand, but quite as dear. Saveral floating cargoes sold at full prices. In other articles no alteration. We annex Tuesday's quotations : FOREIGN. Wheat, 1.4 70th., s. d. s. d.' Wheat, r. 4. 701, s. d. s. d.

AUGUST 13 A slightly improved inquiry has existed for fine Beef this week, at extreme rates ; but ordinary and middling sorts are still neglected. Pork is hardly so firmly held, some of the late arrivals of French having been pressed on the market without effect. The change to cooler weather has taken the demand partially of Bacon, but, as the stock is light, there is no change in prices. Lard is in moderate request, about 50 tons are reported as sold, at 585., ex ship. Grease Butter rather more inquired for, without alteration in value. MONDAY, AUGUST M In the early part of the past week Butter was in good request at full prices, but, towards the close, not so much was done, and former rates were barely supported. The arrivals have in creased, but the stocks in the hands of importers are small. We make no change in quotations.

IRISH PROVISION MARKET. FRIDAY, AUGUST 13.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, MONDAY, AUGUST 16 The supply of Beasts at our market to-day was 2,096, being 39 more than last week; of Sheep and Lambs 8,194, being 2529 fewer than on this day week. Buyers were in fair attendance, and both Beef and Mutton found a ready sale, every thing,of good quality being sold up. No change took place in the de mand for Lambs. Prices were as follows :—Best heifer beef, ; best oxen, 42d to Lid ; middling to inferior, 40 to 42d ; best wether mutton, 60; middling to inferior, sid to 5d ; ewes, sid to 6d; lamb, 6d to 6d per lb., sinking the offal.

MANCHESTER, AUGUST 14.—The improved feeling which we noticed in our last week's circular, has since been fully con firmed by further reports of the injury sustained by the Wheat crops in the southern counties, and the spread of potato dis ease. These, added to the heavy rains which prevailed in the early part of the week, have caused a degree of animation in the Grain and Flour trade, which has not been seen since 1347. Our market to-day is fully attended. Millers, dealers, and bakers, follow the proceedings of speculators with great cau tion, particularly as appearances for weather are more favour able. In Wheat a fair business is done at an advance of 4d. to 3d. per 701bs. on the prices of this day week. Sellers of Flour vary in their demands, but we think we shall be correct in stating the obtainable advance upon prime fresh qualities at 2s. per sack; old samples being easier of sale. Oats and Oatmeal firmer but without improvement in value. Beans and other articles as last quoted. WAKEFIELD, AUG. 13.—During the week we have had un settled weather, which retards harvest operations, and with the strong reports of blight and mildew south of the Humber, causes some apprehension as to the result. To-day we have a good arrival of wheat, and for fresh qualities there is a ready sale at an advance of 2s. per qr. ; granaried parcels do not command the same attention, but are held firmly at a like im provement. Oats and Shelling are fully as well sold. Beans meet with more attention. No change in the value of other articles.
