THE GREAT EAATERN. —The directors have ap-
pointed Captain Vine Hall to the command of the great
ship. A more flttiug successor to the late Captain Harrison
could not well have been selected, and he is an officer who
possesses many of those qualities which gained for the late
commander the high psytion which he occupied in the
navul profession. Captain Hall has had a large amount of
experience in the conno.mil of ships of the first class in the
Meditenatiean, South America, Australia, and Imlia. His
conduct in connexion with the Crosma, of 2,700 tons,
which upon arrival at Sydney was found to be frightfully
leaky, many of the plates having started, gained him the
approbation and friendship of the late Mr. Brunel. There
was no dock into which he could put his ship, and with
great perseverance he succeeded in forming a basin, by
driving two rows of piles round the vessel, filling up the
space between, then pumping the water out, and by this
menus he was enabled to repair and bring home the ship
with a most valuable cargo. When the Croons, with
troops and stores for the Crimea, was 'destroyed by tire off
Genoa, his conduct received the highest approbation from
the Admiralty. As captain of the Gelden Fleece, with
troops for India, he mode the quickest voyage MI record
between England and Calcutta. In Mtn Captain Hall was
elected a F.IL.A.S., and was the first officer in the mere
chant service who took a first-class certificate in the steam
examination under the Mercantile Marine Act..—Uosern r.

would be very de.iral,:e to introduce into the service as
quickly as possible.—Arrant mid Nary Genette.
