CHATHAM , Ocr. 24.
This afternoon an official trial took place at the
dockyard of one of the large double cylinder high-pressure
steam fire-engines manufactured by Messrs. Merryweather
and Sons, and supplied to the Admiralty for use at each
of the principal dockyards. The experiments were car-
ried out in the presence of Captain W. H. Stewart, C. 8.,
superintendent of the dockyard, Captain W. K. Hall,
C. 8., superintendent of Sheerness Dockyard, and other
officials. The engine has a 24-inch length of stroke, and is
capable of working up to a pressure of 200Ibs. to the square
inch, when it will throw a column of water at the rate
of 1,000 gallons per minute to a height of 200 feet. In U
minutes and a half after the order was given to light the
fires a pressure of steam of 1001ba. to the square inch
had been obtained, and a volume of water was being
thrown to a height of 100 feet, through an inch and a-half
nozzle. The height was afterwards increased to 150 feet,
with 1401ba. pressure of steam. The trial was considered
highly satisfactory, and one of the engines will be supplied
to this dockyard.

THE LILLIPUTIAN STRAYER AUGUSTA.—A few
days since a small screw steamer called the Augusta left
Liverpool for Pernambuco, where she was to he employed
as one of the fleet of Moequito tag-boats. She was only
about 5 toes burthen, and when despatched carried her
screw on deck. A good deal of anxiety was naturally felt
as to her safety, and speculations were freely indulged in
that she would come to grief. This unfortunately has
hapiened, and yesterday a telegram was received in 'Aver-
pool stating that she had put into Berehaven in a sinking
state. She has no bulwarks, and in the absence of details
it is believed that she must have shipped so much water
as to hare caused the aosident.
