an opposition Company is on the point of starting. From
the t
4th of April to the 4th of July, the Eagle Company will
have four steam-boats in activity, and intend to build as many
snore as they think likely to pay. Their machines are snanu-
ctured by Messrs. Miller, Ravenhill, and Company, of Lon-

tendence of Mr. Wm. Evans, who has just been presented
tokenwith a gold medal by tho Shipwreck Society of Geneva, as a
of acknowledgment for the improvements he has intro-
duced
