LAUNCH of a RAILWAY EXPRESS
STEA A-BOAT.

On Saturday afternoon Messrs. ll ,binson and Russell.
the eminent engineers and iron ship builders, launched
from their works at Millwall a beautifully constructed
iron steamer, built for the Manchester, Sheffield, and
Line.lnsinre Railway . Company, and intended to run
hetween Hull and the terminus of the railway at Great
Gr•mshy. The novelty of the launch consisted in the
vessel having her engines and boilers already fitted on
board, instead of being launched empty—a plan by
which much delay is saved and great accuracy of work-
manship ensured. With due regard to the nature of
he services to be performed, the vessel has a large
saloon, or waiting-room, on deck, fi"ty feet in length.
twelve feet wire, and nine high, so that passengers will
not require to go down into the cabin. The saloon is to
be fit ed up with large plate glass windows, and fur-
nished with sofas and seats similar to those in a first-
class railway carriage.
The dimensions of the vessel are—
Length of keel... 150 Ft.
Bean 224. 6in.
• Depth ... 10 1. 6in.
Oscillating engines ... 150 horse power.
The hull, as well as the engines, were all made at
he works of Mrssrs. Robinson and Russell.
Tnis boat, with sister vessel built at Hull, but now in
the Thames, to be fitted with engines, is to form part of
a great system of communication across the Humber,
designed bs• Mr. Fowler, the engineer of the line, and is
well calculated to diminish to the utmost the inconve-
nience of having a railway intercepted by an arm of the
sea. A pier on each side runs into deep water, and
carries railway trains upon it alongside the boat. On
2etting out of the carriages passengers will find them-
selves alongside the saloon of the express steam-boat,
which will immediately convey them across the ferry.
at a rate of not less than 15 miles an hour, to a similar
pier on the opposite side. When these arrangements
,re fioished, they wia form a most complete railway
steam-ferry, and much more expeditious than any
hitherto brought into use.

The ceremony of christening was performed by Mr;.
Cole, who gave the vessel the appropriate name of "The
Manchestar." A slight accident interrupted the hunch
ibr a short time, but by the aid of a tug she " took the
water," amidst the cheers of a vast body of spectators,
in most gallant style.
After the launch, Messrs. Robinsnn and Russell en-
tertained a party of friends in the cabin of the Pandora,
s pleasure steam-yacht, built for the Nawab Niz tm, of
Moorshedabad, arid launched on the 21st ult. Mr. tics
sell took the chair, and the usual toasts were duly cele-
brated, the principal being, " Success to The Manchos-
, tel.," which was replied to by Mr. Cole. who to .k the
opportunity to describe the enormous dock-works now
to construction at Grimsby.
The Pand..ra is intend..d in a few days to make several
trial trips in the Thames; and as she is rather an ex
traordmary• looking cratt, it may interest our nautical
realers to kir .w something about her. She is of iron,
and, like the Manchester, was launched from the yard
with engines, boilers, and every thing on board ready
t'or work Sne was to have been used chi fly on hunting
expeditions, in a narrow and shallow branch of ;he
Caoges. She was designed to draw 22 inches on
!snitching, and she drew precisely 22 inches. Her run-
,,ing draught is 24 inch. s. Her cabins are roomy, loft),
and air), the state apartments b.fing in the fore part,
and consisting of a platform, vestibule, saloon, and divan,
out they are not at present fitted up ,in the magnificent
manner origtnilly proposed, though they are simple, and
elegantly hued with drapery. The engines are made of
the most costly materials and excellent workm4nship,
no exibmse having been spared to procure strength wi
lightness. The whole framing is of the finest hammered
iron, and the parts usually made of cast iron are of
ur.e or fine brass.

The proportions 'of the vessel are as follow:—Lorgth,
150 feet; breadth, 19 toet; d.-pth, 10 fet.t 6 u ch.,; lore
dulions, 45 feet by 18 feet wide; alter saloons, 45 feet by
18 feet wide; engines, luw pressure, condensing, of 80
curse power.

The form of the vessel is designed to meet the exi-
gences of speed and extremely small draught of water.
fhe bow is upon Mr. Scott Russell's wave principle, and
it terminates in an elegant figure- head, like the prow of
the ancient Rou an galleys. The stern has large plate
glass windows, .urroanded by elegant carving. Alto•
gether she is externally, as well as internally, a very
pleasing vessel. We believe a speed of fourteen miles
an hour has been guarsntepd by the bulders.

LAUNCH OF THE SCREW-STEAM-

VESSEL BOSPHORUS.
On Saturday afternoon last the first of a line of screw-
iron-steam-vessels, destined to run between London and
ConstantinoW, was launched from the extensive build-
ing and ironworks of Messrs. Mare and Co., of Black-
wall. The occasion was marked by the attendance of
many distingui.hed personages, including the Turkish
Am.)asiVor and suite. Mr. Z.)hrab. the Turkish Con-
sul; Captain Ford, of the Ottoman navy; Mr. Laming,
Mr. Clarke, and Mr. Leary, Mr. J. Maudslay, Mr.
White, of Cowes; Mr. Campbell, C.E., &c., were also
present; and a very numerous assembly of ladies graced
the ceremony. Miss Souhic Z .hrab, a very pretty little
girl, niece of the Turkish Consul. stood sponsor for the
B .sphorus. As she was relieved from the stocks, awl
glided slowly and smoothly into the water, amidst the
cheers of ail present, as she rose most buoyantly and
sl.t!led down on the water a little by the stern, she drew
forth general admiration for her symmetrical propor-
"ons, which are— Ft.
L.ngth between perpendiculars ... 175
Breadth ••• . . ••• ••• 28
Depth ... 16
(Jiving her a burden in tons of 530

Subsequently -the company adjourned to the mould
iitt. where they were very handsomely entertained by
he principal of the firm.

-
It drinking success to the Bosphorus, a compliment
was paid to his Excellency the rurkish Ambassador,
who, in reply, expressed his satisfaction at what he had
witnessed, and sai,l he should feel a pl,asure in promot-
ing the inter.sta of the owners to the utmost of his
power. His Exc,llency and suite then took their de-
parure; but previously to quitting the nrighbourtiood
the Ambassador, a tended by Captain Ford, paid
visit to that highly-interesting exhibition the Chinese
Junk.

The health of the pretty Sponsor for the Bosphorus
was drunk; and, in suxession, Mr. Z thrall, the director
of the General Screw Steam Shipping Company; Mr.
Laming, the managing director; Captain Ford, the su-
iTtinteudent; Mr. Maudslay, the constructor of the en-
gines; and Mr. Waterman, the talented young naval
tirctiiiect of the firm. In the course of an interestins,
conversation on the merits of commercial screw-vs-issels,
a weed of justice was rendered to Mr. Lansing for his
invaluable labours in working out the success of the
screw pr speller, as applied to merchant vessels, in an
economical point of view. It was then stated that by
his extraordinary indefatigability he had realized the
most sanguine expectations of those connected with him
in his enterprise. In the establishment of screw
schooners- bei wean London and Rotterdam, Mr. Laming

had succeeded in profitahly reducing the freights from
391. 3d. per ton to 19s. 61. per ton; whilst the phs
sages were performed with equal regularity and rapidity
Upon these grounds it was anticipated that under the
patronage and support of the Ottoman Government, the
new undertaking of the General Serew Steam Company
would prove a remunerative speculation. The Bos-
phorus, after she was launched, was immediately towed
round to the East India Ducks to receive her engines.
which are of 80. horse power. She is to be fitted with
all dispa•ch, and two sister vessels, the Hellespont and
another, have been ordered from Mare and Co., for the
same service, one of which will be commenced this dv,
an inspection of the first vessel having satisfied the com-
pany that, in the .ifisphorus, they have an excellent
model for screw steaming, as they have also a strong
and well built ship for the purposes required.

HUNGARY AND ROME:.
PUBLIC MEETING AT NEWCASTLE.
SATURDAY, JULY 7.—Yesterday evening a meeting
of the inhabitants of this town was held in the Lecture-
room, Nelson-street, for the purpose of assisting Hun-
garian exiles now in London to return to their country,
and to assist in defending it against the aggressions of
Autieria, and expressing sympathy with Rome in their
glorious struggle for freedom.
On Sir John Fife (who was advertised to preside)
Mr. Crawshay, and Signor Bompiani appearing on the
platform, they were hailed with loud and oft•repeated
cheers.
Sir JortN FIFE, on taking the chair, expressed his
gratitude to those who were present for their alacrity
in responding to the appeal which his friend Mr. Craw-
shay and himself had ventured to make to them, and
for the imposing numbers in which they had assembled.
Without knowing or caring what might not be
the policy of the Government, they thought they could
not be wrong in calling a meeting to express sympa-
thy
_with the oppressed, and at the same time utter
abhorrence of the tyranny which is now up and in
arms, not only to crush liberty in Hungary and
Rome, but to crush liberty in every part of Europe.—
(Applause.) Those who would follow him, especially
Signor Bompi,ni, who was himself a It-man, would
vindicate the righteousness and justice of the cause in
which the brave Romans have struggled against such
fearful odds, and they would aher justify the conduct of
the Hungarians in insurrection. Not only had Austria
oppressed the Hungarians, according to rule and in the
scientific manner which deepo,s can employ, but she had
even made use of insurric,ions to aid her purposes, for
it was well known that she had encouraged the peasantry
in Gallicia to rise and murder the landed proprietors and
to burn their mansions. He did not doubt that those
proprietors 11:3d incurred the hatred of the people, but it
was proved that the Government orignatrd the insur-
rection and paid the peasantry for the head of every
landowner which they brought to them.—(Haar. hear.)
What could they expect of such a nation? Could they
imagine that a God of justice will permit such a ration
to pi toper in its iniquities? He believed net, and that
when they met again Europe would present a more satis-
factory aspect.—(Cheers.)
GEORGE CRawSLIA.Y, Esq then came forward to
reeve the first re►ulutien. After some introductory re-
marks, he observed that he felt most deeply on this
matter, especially uow when it was no longer a question
between Austria and Hungary, but wheth,r a great,
brave, good, and improving p, ople like the Hungarians
are to advance in civilization and freedom, or be annihi•
fated--trampled out of existence by the power of Russia.
—(Hear, hear.) In this position of the question he felt
that Euglend ought no longer to rem-tin silent, but to
lift up her voice and tell the Cz tr and Austria that she.
does not look on unsympathisingly at the commission of
so great a crime—so foul a national murder.—(Loud
cheers.) Although Hungary had been overrun by in-
vaders, yet she had always preserved her independ-
ence, and by that circumstance the Emperor of
Austria was merely King of Hungary, and had
sworn to govern that country according to its
own laws and constitution. This oath the Emperor
had broken, and the policy of his Government
was to set clans against class and encourage
jealousies and enmities between Hungary, Italy, Bo-
hemia, and other states, in order that thus he might di•
vide and govern,--(Cheers.) The Hungarians did not
like this policy; they found the Austrian Government
a ivancing step by step, and taking away their ancient
liberties, and resistance was medita..ed. Even ten years
ago, when he was travelling on the Continent, he heard
it staled that the Hungarian people were ripe fir insur-
rection. No one would deity that in those days the in-
ternal and local government of Hungary was purely aris-
tocratic, and had it remained so, the Hungarian nobles
would never have obtained the support which they have
since derived from their fellow-countrymen. But the
truth is, they saw the danger impending—that if they did
not psrt with their aristocratic privileges, Austria would
set the peasantry and lower classes against them, and
reduce Hungary to a province and deFendency of the
empire. Under these circumstances the Hungarian
nobles presented an example to the world, for of their
own accord, in their own Diet, elected by themselves, they
voluntarily gave up their exclusive privil, ges, one of
which was execnptioa from taxation. All feudal rights
were abolished, and all the tribes were placed on a foot-
ing of equality with the Magyars; they established per-
fect religious liberty and granted universal toleration.
At the bead of this improvement was the great. Kossuth.
—(Cheers.) He might oe said to be the new Hungarian
nation personified. He was sent up to the new aristo-
cratic Diet by a lady (for any large landed proprietor,
whether male er temale, could return a representative);
and he made himself so troublesome to the Austria'.
Government, pripcipally by writing in a patter, that he
was put in prison, as. many a good nian has before him.
—(Applause.) This was in 1839. In 1840 he came
out of prison, and became leader of the opposition in
the Hungarian Diet. Thus matters sto.•d when the
French Revolution took place. This produced a mo-
•nentary and violent insurrection, and the people of
Hungary made strung demands which were conceded b)
Aus.ria; had Austria kept faith with them in these
matters, the late disastrous conflicts would have been
prevented. He believed the Hungarian people had not,
at the outset, the most remote intervion of deposing
The Emperor; indeed, this was not dune until the Aus-
triau Governinent invited Russia to assist them.—
(Applause.) Mr. Crawshay then proceeded at some
ieigth, and with great ability, to detail tne varied steps
in the course of perfidy, treachery, and crime pursued by
Austria, down to the time when Kossuth rallied the

Parliament around him, and the pecple laying the in-
ai4nia of S . Stephen on the altar or the church, swore
by that crown to die in defence of their country. and
never to surrender.—(lmmense cheering.) He gave in-
stances of the heroic courage of the Hungarians. and
Spoke of Kossuth as the most foremost man in Eur.pe.
The Hungarians were assisted by the Poles—(Cheers)—
although it is not true, as the Emperor of Russia d&-
dared, that any considerable portion of his subjects, as
he calls tie Polea, serve in the Hungarian ranks. They
consist chiefly of Austrian subjects, tor Austria had its
share of Polish plunder, as well us Russia. The noble
and gallant, bat unsuccessful efforts of the Poles to re-
gain the ir liberty were remembered by all. For
eiKhteen years the generals who headed them had lived

in poverty and distress in diftaent parts of Europe. Gen.
Bern was in the receipt of 15s. per week in this country,
and he had to be attended in one of our hospitals. Ifid
it not been for such noble individuals as Lord Dudley
Stuart that man might not have been preserved to render
the great service he bad since done to the cruse of
liberty.—(Applause.) Bem defended Vienna, and when
it was surrendered, one condition of the capitulation
was that he should be hanged. Ho disappeared, how-
ever, in some mysterious manner, and the next that was
heard of him was that he WAS at the head of patriotic
forces in Trans) lvania. On this occasion Bern over.
came both Austrians and Russians, and d:ove them out
of the country.—(Cheers.) Mr. Crawshay concluded by
proposing the following resolution :
" That a national sub,cription, for the purpose of
enabling the Hungarian exil-s, now in this country to
return to their native land, will be an act worthy of the
generosity of the people of England, at the same time
that it will afford them an opp-rtunity, which they
should not suffer to pass by, of making public and mani-
fest their indignation at the conduct of the Austrian and

Russian Governmerys towards Hungary, and of showing
yrnpathy with the heroic exertions of the Hungarian
people in the most sacred of causes, the protection of
their homes and country against invasion. That accor-
dingly a subscription for this purpose be commenced,
and the proceeds forwarded to Lord Dudley Stuart."
Mr. J. L. THORNTON seconded the motion, which was
carried unanitnou.ly, amidst great applause.
A voluntary collection was then taken on behalf of the
Hungarian exiles, and a handsome sum realised.
Tne Hey, G. BELL tuoved the next resolution, ex-
pressive of strong disapprobation at tho conduct of
France with reference to Home. Although not a mew-
her of the Peace Society, yet he had a great horror of
war ; but they all could cry " Shame, shame," to Aus-
tria and France, and neither country was so far oil that
it could not hear the nation's voice cry " Shame."
Mr. GEonoz BREWIS seconded the motion, which
was carried.

Signor Bommon. a Roman, after adverting to the
invasion otly by Benaptite, his spoliation and
i vranny, and tho subsequent mpo,ition of the " old
regime," concluded thus:—The French Government
has revealed to the world what is their I.,ve

tor French liberty by pouring bombs on Roman li-
berty. Yes, the political principles of the Seine are ex•
plained on the basks of the Tiber. The attack on Hum is

the crime of Cain, accomplished by a faitile:s Govern.
mrnt mgainst a defenceless people. H. a republic been
peoclaimed in St. Petersburgh or in Lyndon, the power
which governs the destiny of France would have trembled
and bowed before them But Rome is comparatively a
sinall town, ►►nd tinny five thousand men, the bravest
soldiers of Europe, backed by Austrian, Spanish, and
Neapolitan troops, have at last sileaced the fire of the
brave but unfortunate defenders of our liberty, and who
had retired to Rime as the heart of Lillian indepen-
dence. The Frei-eh legions have b:.en victorious—
►hey, through fire and sword, have bicomo masters of
Rome, and now Pius IX. can rttnru to the eternal

ci,y; a river of blood will bring him hick his triple
golden crowns, whilst his Master only left to him a
crown of thorns. Let Lira take it up with that hand
which signed the warrantof death fir his children, which
was destined only to bless and forgive! Why does he
not go to Avignon, where several of his predecvors
passed nearly seventy years? No—he must occupy

himself the Vicar of " Him who had not a stone whereon
to rest his head." One word more. I may be tt,lied—
" To what purprie your speech, your enthusiasai?"
For a very simple reason. I do wish that there should
be at least one nation in the world to set an example of
public morality. I would wish !hit. chrere,l by ,;.) m
pithy here for our misfortunes and efforts, I could trona
this distlnt c-untry exclaim to my Italian brethren.
" We have all the world against us except free England."
This at least he cur consoltion in our fall, that v e
are lamented and ,admired. Let the men of EnAlmd
think on the calamities and circumstances %%ideu have
reduced to a nonentity and slavery the Queen of nations,
and they will pronounce their judgin• nt, which, I doub:
not, will he heard with fear and dismay by those tyrants
who have caused, and cause, so many tears and hlco:i.

The voice of a free and generous people is all po,,veriul,
and will re-echo like thunder to the most distant re-
gions.—(Loud cheers.)
At the conclusion of his address the Signor proposed
a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was seconded
by Mr. Crawshay.
Sir JOHN FIFE acknowledged the vote, and the pro-
ceedings closed.—A bridged from the Newcastle Guardian
