THE GREAT EASTERN.
(THIB DAY.)

Ie ear gequenes of aanotiocenteots profusely dis-
tributed throughout the country some tlvinsands of pewee I
docked to the beaks of the Thisaiss this morning, la order to
witness the departure of the Great &earn, but umber
wee added to the many disappointments which than who
are interested in the great ship have experienced.
Up to a late hour lot eight no one knew of any alteration
la tits pleas. The guards, drivers, and porters of the rail-
way were ettromoned to be at their poste et 6 o'clock this
morulag. The crew were ordered to be on board the bogs
reseed at 10 o'clock last night, cod between 6 sad 8 o'clock
this morning the 'me vs. to be towed awayfrom her mooc-
h:4o to the Noce, where her compasses were to be adjusted.
People who docked to Greene fob and the neighbourhood
tide niesaleg were startled by the following 'summoning :
The disycleire of the Great Rosters Is unavoidably
paiissoned until Wednesday next." The eunosutosmaat
bone no Acid sigateute, sod ao date. Some dialautt of It
was therefore manfully excited, and people began to inquire
whether or not " Wednesday next" meant to-morrow, end
whether the whole thins Lett not be a hoax. Their doable
ewe meow dlseipsted, Orr at decor Inquiries they eieseteisid
thai"Wellsewley mixt" really mart to-moneworissa "Fel-
Neely," at half put 6, the .hip will be Meese* from her
past position LE Debtford, and shortly afterwards be
sysedisc es her way towards the Noce.

Darin ths whole of this morning the vessel was taking
logypgs. sad the tugs were lying alongside. The
1f,., wee Neeslly covered with small begs from an
gaily haw, ontaining eager sighteeers, while the steamers
and railway conveyed Large number. to the acme of the
blended departure. The kind of reception the visitors ex-
perienced was an unlimited amount ol " chaff" from the
waterless and other persons who were dieappolated of peen-
airy galas.
Judean from present appearances, It la the intention to
get the chip of to-mot .ce mot o•ag. By order of the har-
bour umentr, ell the meets leeward from the moorings w.ll
be shored sou to give free way for the navigation. This order
will be strictly eeforcd from an early hour of the meshy.
The amutgemettt wig be ctiametexl at an early hoar, he
girder that the great ship may have the benefit of the fall
tide at the Blackwell point, where there Is a sharp bend
shoot which much apprehension is expressed, and also at the
Bork* shelve, a little further on, where the river is very
shone+. The third end only recoeitdeg difficulty le at
Stith, where there Is a thadbsek running :rom one teak of
the river to tha other.

At the Trafalgar, the Crown and Anchor, the Ship, and
ether chief hotels at Oresswieb, there was a large oompany
of distiaguirtted visitors this morning, who having come
dawn from London in carriage', made up for the amp-
rudiment they experienced, by sitting down to a second
lesektrt.

It Is said that tbia delay of twenty-four boon fa leaving
tbs Thames will make no difference in the other arrangemnts of the vessel at Portland, Holyhead, or elsewhere.
fibs will be ready to lease Holyhead fur Portland, on
the 29th inst.

Considerable attention bee been excited by a ma-

Copper Mining Company of South Australia. This
remsekable specimen, which weighs about half a
ton, was raised from Chambers' mule, in the north-
