THE GREAT EARTERN.—The latest number of the
New York Times received contains the following remarks
regarding the Great Eastern and the New York Common
Council : "We bad hoped that the management of the
Great Eastern had undergone a thorough and radical re-
form, and that a brighter day we. dawning upon this un-
fortunate ship. We find, however, that the directors are
back again at their old follies. They have actually applied
to the Common Council of New York for information so to
the capacity of the harbour, and upon the motiop of the
celebrated and indefatigable Boole, in whom all foreigners
find so fast a friend, a ' committer' has been appointed to
supply the necessary facts. Unless the Chamber of Com.
merce or the Pilot Commissioners interfere, we greatly
fear the result of all this will be the stranding of the huge
vessel upon some portion of the bay, and her final disposal
at auction as old iron. The knowledge of the harbour pos.
seamed by the Common Council is limited to that portion of
it which lies between the battery and Randall's Island, and
has been acquired by numerous excursions and divers per-
sonel explorations of the bottom performed in moments of
high-wrought convivial enthusiasm. Nobody but the men
who made the Leviathan the laughing-stock of the world
last spring would think of navigating her upon data
furnished by the Boolea and Bagley* of the City-hall."
