THE BOSPHORUS SCREW - PROPELLER STEAM'
VESSEL.—This fine vessel, built -of iron, by Messrs-
Mare and Co., Blackwell, of 531 tons burden, with au%'
iliary engines of 80 hone-power, by Messrs. Mends's'',
Sons, and Field, went down the river yesterday on her
final experimental trial, having on board Captain
Liam Houston Stewart, Captain Sir Frederick Nicholson,
Mr. Laming, Managing Director of the Genenvl Steam
Screw Shipping Company, and a number of shareholders
in the company, Mr. Montgomery Martin, Mr. Honibal,
patentee of Porter's anchors, Mr. Joseph Mandalay, Mr•
Edward Luck, Mr. Margetson, Mr. Major, Captain
Halstead, Secretary at Lloyd's, Captain Ford, and a
number of influential gentlemen. The Bosphorus left
Blackwell shortly after one o'clock, and on arriving at
Longreach the time was taken at the measured mile, and
the distance found to be accomplished in 5.5 minutes, or
40 seconds less tha❑ the lowest rate of speed on her pre
vious trial on the 13th of August, the mean average on
the former trial being 9.670 on an average of five elms
up and down the measured mile. The engines
worked admirably tc-day, giving 64 revolutions
per minute on the direct action principle, with a
double tyro-feet stroke accomplished by placing
the cylinders on an angle or inclined plane to act in har-
mony with each other, and give a four-feet stroke in the
compass of an engine of two-feet stroke, effecting a
great saving of room, an object of great importance in
vessels devoted to commercial purposes. The Bosphorus
proceeded as far as Sheerness, to test her capabilities in
deep water, and the result being satisfactory, she turned
round, at 4.10 P.M., to return to Blackwell. After a cold
collation, provided for the occasion, several loyal toasts
were drunk with enthusiasm, and the success of the Bo-
sphorus, intended to run betwixt Liverpool, Malta, and
Constantinople, drunk, with every wish for the prosperity
of the company, who bad done so much for accelerating
the voyages, that 44 were now made by screw-propellers
where nine had been made formerly, and goods conveyed
for I9s. 6d. per ton, which used to cost 335. 6d. for the
same quantity. Mr. Laming entered into the details of
the advantages to be derived by the introduction of the
screw-propeller, and explained the difficulties they
had to contend with, which he was now glad
to say, had been in a great measure removed by the
perseverance of Mr. F. P. Smith, and they were at last
likely to be remunerated for the exertions they bad
made to give an impetus to the means of sending com-
mercial articles to foreign ports in a comparatively
limited period. Mr. Laming concluded by proposing the
'• Health of Captain William Houston Stewart, and
Captain Sir Frederick Nicolson," who had the honour
of belonging to her Majesty's Royal Navy, and bad
honoured them with their company. Captain Houston
Stewart, in very appropriate terms, expressed the very
great obligations the Royal Navy were under to the
merchant princes of London, who encouraged every en-
terprise likely to benefit the country, and showed an
example worthy of imitation, and he trusted that the
blessings which their enterprising spirit disseminated to
all parts of the globe would be duly appreciated, and if
her Majesty's ships were found requisite to be present,
it would only be for the protection of comnterce. The
Gallant Captain's speech was greatly applauded.
