N ORWICH UNION FIRE INSURANCI SOCIETY. ESTABLISHED 1821 It appears that on the lith ult. a large portion of General Taylor's army moved up the river for the purpose of crossing. General Taylor remained at the fortificaz:ons with about 300 men. When the army were seen by the Mexicans, on the opposite side of the river, to leave the encampment,they approached the fort and General Arista sent a flag of truce to General Taylor requesting an ar mistice of six weeks, giving as a reason for his request, that he desired to communicate with his Government. General Taylor replied that he would give General Arista until eight o'clock the next morning to evacuate the city of Matamoras, and would permit him to take away the public property under his charge. The flag then returned, and on the next day the 18th, the "army of occupation" crossed on flats of their own construction, and the bodies of waggons calked. The passage was about four miles from Fort Brown. On arriving at the city, it was discovered that General Arista had departed with forces, leaving only the mounted battery. All the mortars. and such of the military apparatus as could not be removed, in his haste to escape, were thrown into the wells. Immediately after the en trance of General Taylor into Matamoras, a detachment was ordered out to reconnoitre. They overtook a portion of the Mexicans, who were retreating, twenty-two of whom were made prisoners. It is understood that Gen. Arista's bead-quarters are at San Ferna"do, about ninety miler_from_llll,staanswas,--Con, Taylor issued ordors to bis army not to take anything from the inhabitants, without paying full value for what they took. The citi zens of Matamoras were permitted to transact business as usual, with the exception of selling strong drinks. It is said that the Mexican soldiers refusrd to defend Alata moras, having had no rations served out to them for five days. CAPITAL Right _Hon. Lord Wodehouse Lord Lieutenant, Lord Walpole, Lord Hastings, On Friday last, this fine iron steamer made a most suc cessful trial trip, the result of which is the more inte resting from its establishing a `• fact," which some nau tical men have inclined to doubt, in regard to the best adapted form of hull for a mercantile steam-vessel, com bining the desiderata of adequate steerage room and capa city for rapid locomotion. The Ajax was built by our townsmen, Nlessrs. Thomas Vernon and Son, for the Cork and London Steam-ship Company, and is intended to run between the two ports named, with merchandise and passengers, for which she is in every point admirably adapted. The following are her dimensions : DIRECTORS. President—Edward T. Booth, Es.. Vice-President—Anthony H , ' sqq George Morse, Esq., Ed • i Stewart, Esq., Major-General Sir R. John • wis Evans, Esq., M.D., Harvey, C.B. J Thos. Blakiston, Esq., R.N Isaac Jenny, Esq., Roriler Timothy Steward, Esq., of Norwich, George Durant, Esq., Charles Evans, Esq., Robert John Harvey, Esq. Secretary—Samuel Bignold, Esq. The Public are respectfully reminded that all the Insurances renewable in the LIVERPOOL AGENCY on the 24th day of JUNE, 1846, must be paid at the Office, Exchange-street West, on or before the 9th day of July next, or the Society will cease to be liable for the sums insured.

Engines. united . 350 horse-power. The model of the vessel was provided by. Mr. Hezelden, aisisteifby Mr. Rajah', the intelligentforemert at Messrs: Vernon's establishment, and a more beautiful vessel in appearance on the water can scarcely be conceived. The novelly introduced in respect to form—for it may be so considered, being contrary to the generally received opi nions entertained by naval architects of the old school — is, that she has a considerably greater length of flooring, with little or no rise, than is usually adopted, but with very fine extremities. particularly that at the bow, the stern being rather fuller at the load-line—an inversion to some extent of the principle usually urged as re quisite for fastness. It appears to us, however, and to others more skilled than we assume to be in this most de licate sit, that several decided advantages are achieved by this description of formation, especially for steam vessels to Ise propelled by the paddle-wheel. In the fist place the long fiat floor not only gives greater room for stowage with a lighter draft of water, but from its longitudinal bearing prevents that pitching in a sea-way to which ves sels with a short fluor are liable ; and, with a fine entrance it does not appear, as in this instance proved, that th e fullness of bilge retards the progress of the ship—the greater portion of the water passing under her bottom in place of clipping her sides. The comparative fullness abaft, too, not only gives the vessel more to sit upon at the stern. so that she is safer in a chasing sea, but if we mistake not—a good elearpnce being still left—does away to a great extent with that suction which frequently evinces itself, from the approach to a vacuum produced by superfluous fineness under the counter, in a succession of waves curling after the ship to fill up the cavity she has In proof of the Public approbation of the principles and con duct of this Company, it may be sufficient to state, that its business now exceeds FIFTY-EIGHT MILLIONS.

The frigate Raritan was hourly expected to join them. The Mexican Government had annulled the powers of the American Consuls, bad given orders that all Americans were to leave Vera Cruz in eight days, and were making every effort to carry out the war with success, by replenishing the treaiury, and by carrying through some very strong measures. The castle of St. Jam d'Ulloa and the city are represented to be in an excellent state of defence, and to require a very strong force to be successfully attacked. The Republicano, of the city of Mexico, of the 13th, says that it was the in tention of the government to send their war-steamers Gua ,nupe and M to 1' - to b AUDITORS. Francis B.

The Mexican sailors re ful,ed to sail under thegernnelitinne anti the ateamera were Sugar— to leave the river Alvarado, where they had been laid up in ordinary under the British flag, and commanded by a British officer. They have since arrived at Havana. 0. : nd The Apache lndittris have attacked the town of Apulo, here they killed thirty-two Mexicans, the Indians steal _ . made, aid which is in fact a retarding suction. The pad dle- wheels of the Ajax are placed further aft than is usual, and this is found to counteract the tendency to draw more water forward when going at speed. There was on board on the day of trial a small and pleasant party of gentlemen, and a few ladies. Amongst the former were Mr. Hazelden, Mr. Grindrod, (Commo dore of ihe Royal Mersey Yacht Club,) Mr. Vernon, senior, Mr. Frank Bury, partner in the house of Me,srs. Bury, Curtis, and Kennedy, builders of the engines, Capt. Holt, superintendent for the owners. Mr. Tipton, draughtsman at Messrs. Vernon's, and other gentlemen. Capt. Mow le, a gentleman of long experience, and who is in command of the ship, was also on board, together with his lady and some female friends. The Engines are on Bury, Curtis, and Kennedy's di rect action principle, w th beaten iron frame-work, and are superb pieces of workmanship. The cylinders are each about 70 inches in diameter, and there are two effec tive air-pumps, which do away with ail objections at first entertained to the principle of these engines, the great advantage of which is that they are much lighter than or. dinar) , eneines, and occupy much le:zs room, the space required for the whole of the machinery being a compart ment of oily eleven feet longitudinally with the vessel. The CABINS are both comfortably and elegantly fitted up, entirely by Messrs. Vernon themselves, who have evinced much taste and judgment in the whole arrange ments. The plan of the saloon and state-rooms resem bles that generally adopted in the Glasgow coasting steam ships. and caw scarcely be improved. The walls are em panelled in painted satin-wood, with maple styles, divided by pilasters of the same apparent material, surmounted by capitals and a cot nice with sparing but cha s t e g ildi ng . The furniture and bed fi ttings of the Mato-rooms, w i • are large, and repltte with every requisite for ease and comfort, are of the best description. The ventilation is also superior. The Ajax is rigged as a three-masted schooner, without the incumbrance of topmasts. She floated so compara tively light that she would have made better work of it had she been six to eight inches deeper in the water, as the paddle-boards were scarcely sufficiently submerged. She left the south end of the Prince's Pier shortly after 11 o'clock, ant passed the Clarence. Dock gates at 11h. 18w but did not acquire full speed until opposite the Rock Lighthouse, when it was 26 minutes past eleven o'clock. She had, however. previously beaten the King Orry. The Cambria, a still smarter steam-boat, running to the Menai Bridge, had about a two miles' start of the Ajax. The former took the South or Horse Channel, in which she had sufficient water; the latter the Victoria Channel, (round the Beil Buoy,) a considerable distance further to the N. W. Light Ship, but with some hopes of overtaking the Welsh boat outside. The engines of the Ajax made on an average about twenty-one strokes per minute, with a paddle-wheel of 27/feet over the floats, so that her pro pelling power, even with the engines new and stiff, may be calculated. The tide wax in favour of both vessels, it being high water at Liverpool at Bh. sm. evening. She passed the Ccoshie Light Ship 18/ minutes before 12, and the Bell Buoy 6/. minutes past twelve. Her speed by log. of fair stretch was eleven and twelve knots. At 23 minutes past one o'clock she passed the Cambria. cutting her off. notwithstanding ber shorter distance to this point of about five miles. At ten minutes past two, the Ajax got off the Great Orsmht - ad. She was now nearly two miles ahead of the Cambria, and reached directly under the signal station on Puffin Island, near Beaumaris, at 20 minutes before three, making the trip our, of about 51 The celebrated Robert Owen arrived at New York on the sth instant, on his way from Wabhiugton. He arrived nautical miles, in 3 hours and 22 minutes, with, in the latter part, a rather adverse tide. She was now steered round. The Cambria was at the time about 3 miles astern, and in shore. The splendid p-cket-ship Henry Clay left New York for this port on the 6th instant with thirty-six cabin pas- seneers We remark:...d that the vessel made very little or almost no breast of water at her bow, and left behind her an un. disturbed wake—a decided proof of a fine entrance and an equally fine clearance. . Mr. Templeton, the vocalist, left New York on the 6th ins►ant, for Philadelphia and Baltimore, but was to return to New York on the 13th. His concerts had been highly successful, though an abortive attempt had been made Ly some of his countrymen to put them down. The effort, however, completely failed. The trip home, with the up-coming tide, was equally successful, and was enlivened by a trial of speed wish the Medina royal mail steam ship, which, on our turtling, was greatly to the windward, and several miles ahead, with canvas set, the wind blowing then from the northward and eastward. The Ajax never spread a yard of sail, but over hauled and passed the Medina off Voel Nant, south of the Vale of Clwyd, at five na'nutes past four o'clock, after a stiff stern chase,' which is generally a long one. We he tded her rapidtv,:althotzgh she was blowine off stean. and we were rather short of our con, meat ; and we passed the Rock Light House at precisely half-past five, and St. Nicholas's Church at 16 minutes to six, making the whole distance out and home. of 102 miles, in about 6 hours and 254 minutes, or about 16 miles en hour i A lunch was nartak en of by the company on board in day, and in coming home a sump- tuous cold collation ana aessert, with champagne and other wines. The captain presided at one table, and Mr. Vernon at another, the part of vice-president falling to Mr. H azelden. The health of Messrs. Vernon and Messrs. Bury and Co., the builders of the ship and engines, were heartily given, and as heartily rssponded to. When the Ajax had got opposite to Birkenhead pier, or rather above it, the . Medina had only rounded the Rock Lighthouse, so that she was beaten by about four miles, in a course, according to the pilot's account, of about twelve mica from the time of passing her; although we should think there is here a slight mistake, as the distance is, we conjecture, somewhat greater. At all events, the Ajax has proved herself to be a vessel of superior power and speed, and we wish her every success. bstrve, are addit Fartwre 16ubt Ihiqp borf s'lreriea‘l of rullybaedinopg purposes. marketn p i n .

For ten days out of the thirteen we have had a succession of easterly a inds, and, although the vessel was deep, steamed against it on first leavine New York ten knots, and latterli, eleven and a half and twelve, and, not withstanding we have had, on some occasions, a strong bead wind, with a E.N.E. sea, that would have seriously inconvenienced a paddle-wheel steamer, we never went less against it than eight and a half k no t s: t h e t h ree days fair winds were so light as scarcely to assist our pro gress.
