THE GREAT EASTERN.

The great ship, which has for so tong "a
period heeti
one of the great sights of .the ti,ter,which
haibecif the
jibe of many an old salt, and the subject of soma/
grave predictions respecting her utter failure, will lealle*
her moorings about the middle of next week to seek_d.
deeper water and a more suitable field for.the display Al
her powers. The gloomy' piedictioi* which ever sine
the first plate was riveted have not ceased to fella* ate'
noble ship, still cling to it, apd those who have
no faith in progress, or are envious of great successes;
venture, to tell the world that the Great }astern willnever get clear of the intricate navig,atioil of the river,
that she will be• grounded on some shoal,_ sYriag
with soine tide; or lie across,the river, to► the 'obstrue".
tion of all Vessels coming up or going downk To Wu'
an extent have these- silly notions been prevalent, that
it is stated -the underwtiters will tiot nisurn' the -shiP
until she *fairly out at. sea. The difficulty of ptneee".„;
ing down the-Thanteeli, Nie are confident; very" gre.".„„,l'i
exaggerated. We. liklieve • there are but 'three' Pew'',
in the whole length of the river, from the; spot.r.
which the vessel lies, at which anYthing did"
culties present themselves to the colossal ship an',
witt, the `most ordinary care they may be passed-Wit'.
perfect safety: The -fitst poret, after leaving jt_er„
moorings at Deptford, will be at Blackwell.
the river takes a- very sharp bend, at the entrance 'ti!'
the Oeieks. A short distance further down the river "i 4;
what ib called -" Barking- Shelf," a shallow- extendini:
nearly across 'the river, -ant. leaving but a very snull'
channel-of sufficient -depth.- -AV
.r.rith there is what ",
called "'trial binds," _ which* consist of a sandbank
running-across the' river ;-trat this .May be passed with
facility hyvtlie exercise of:due:precaution, Indeed there'
_are numbers- of timbei-lacten ships which draw greater
depth of water than ;the Gtbat'EaStern which PI" uP
the river continuully to the Cbmtnerciat Docks :without
making any.,:stoppiage upon these • wonderful sandbank'.
The mode in which the 'Great -,}esteem' will be taken
.down the river is. one ,whish,: has- been carefully

THE Loss, OF TILE ARGO, NEW 'YORE AND GAl', the
STEAMER.--On Saturday,the Board of .Trade issacataip
report of Mr. Porter, the magistrate, and CO ot
• Harris, the nautical assessor, who - held 'the re
inquiry-at Dublin into the loss of. .the Argo, one °,ft of
New York and Galway line of steamers, on the c9"-the,
Newfoundland, and the decision of the board rnsyss
matter.
~The Argo was upwards of 2,000 tons, an-
~30
formerly one of the fleet of the General Screw '7,;eo
Shipping Company. She- was on a vOyage frog' with
York to St. John's, Nevr-founilland, and GalwaY, le
210 passengers of different classes on beard, wilane•
struck on a rock on the morning a the 28th or and
became a total loss. After- noticing the course,iy
progress of the ship, Mr. Porter thus reports
at the
deliberate opinion, after maturely considering ept of
evidence that has :been adduced, is that; the Mo``aed
the Argo, having made -the' land of Cape riPe'ope
consequently aware that he- was approaching that
Race, and with a knowledge that the currents In not
vicinity were both strong and irregular, noirig
Justified in continuing his course at full spec; p biro-
a dense fog such as the witnesses describe, and as Li-d sea
self admits. Again, having passed-one iceberg anhe ice
another in Trepassy Bay, as also others seen by .` ti,fie3
pilot about Cape Race, the master was the less PI 4,0
in running. full speed when the fog came on 3recor
a.m. ; and I look on it as a most provident e,l_cher
stance that he fell in with the fishing schooner at.,l'aijip
when he did. Had not • such been the case, h's stern
would inevitably have been dashed against the e%atl
shore of Trepssy Bay, and- many lives wonide:ptain
