THE GREAT BRITAIN.-We watch with no .1 -
inter est the operations now going on for the emancipa-
publiat

tion of the Great Britain, in reeard to which the
anxiety is still so strongly manifested. Since our last
notice we learn that eight of the huge boxes have been
got in place, with their pairs of :pars to each, while
twelve others are nearly finished. On the strand these
contrivances appear larger than a moderate sized house;
while in place, above the gunwale of the great leviathan,
they look small, if not insignificant. Having found our
notices respecting the ship copied into most of the jet,q_-
nals, not merely of Ireland, but also of the metrop9n';
exc
and knowing the additional interest that must be itFeie
as the time approaches for removing, or makinwith
effort to remove her, we have made arrangements
our correspondent for a weekly communication, st,
believe the information we may yet have it in our pow!!.
to give will be as correct as that we have already brought
sun..
before the notice of our readers. While upon this
ject we may say that the consequences of the exPereis
ments and their success, whether as respects the faggno'f,
put together with so much difficulty, and in the face a.
gales and seas.ot no ordinary character. on the plan !:e„
commended by that eminent engineer, Mr. Brunel, or L_,
green trees substituted by Captain Claxton, when,
is
shown by the report which appeared in the papers,
March last, it was impossible to continue faggoting,

not at once meet the eye. If it was found noddlear ;
patible with heavy seas and gales, in the m ,
st
severe winter, to build so formidable a barrier agairld,
the surf of the ocean to the largest ship in the F

how comparatively easy would it be to protect sm
va;
vessels similarly stranded, which are left with their t
luable cargoes entire, after the first falling tide, in a st 3„.
worth protecting, until the time should arrive for Prn.
dent removal. Scarcely any situation on any part of Env
coast of England, Ireland, or Scotland, or probably f!ill
part of the continent, exists, that woods are not viitnl
reach, if not close at hand, and those of Toils, ore
were
fully seven miles from the Great Britain. Tmaple
valuable cargoes may be saved by the important atscoveri,
resulting from the ingenuity of Mr. Brunel and his ahl):
assistant, Captain Claxton. Tu the latter, we ":f
Bove, belongs the merit of the network of spars •••
green timber, which, on visiting the ship, we wereeiir
formed by the chief officer, saved her, through t•-e
nding andyielding nature, when th strongest frame:
work of seasyoned timberwood would,e in all likelihood,
have been broken to shivers, as was actually the ease
with the first breakwater which was attached in
the
November gale. It is impossible, we therefore say, to
undervalue the merit of the discovery, for it is onentil.4?re
to say what advantages to the shipping and raerca.
interests, and the underwriters, may not yet be derived
from its success. The plan is simple, and we hope Pains
will be taken by the proper authorities to have it gene-
rally made known.-IVeuiry Commercial Telegraph.
AND
INQUEST ON THE BISHOP OF GLOUCESTER
BRISTOL'S LAUNDRY-MAID.-The death of
a young
woman named Elizabeth Searle, who had lived as laundry
maid in the service of his Lordship, at the episcopal
palace, at Stapleton, took place on Sunday night
.last,lint,ad
the old Market-street, under circumstances of a
singuha _
and most melancholy character. The deceased, who
been in ill health, came into Bristol on Saturday in a
milk-cart, with the intention of consulting Dr. Riley:
On her alighting in the old Market-street she was
ob
a tavern kept by Mr. Rogers, where her indisposition
served to stagger and look very ill. She was taken into
increased. She was removed to the house of a Mrs.
Earnsby, where she was put to bed, and Mr. Jenkins,
surgeon, called in, who gave her all the attention hes
could. Medical aid proved, however, unavailing, an
she died about five o'clock on Sunday. Rumours had
got abroad (probably on account of some remarks made
by her during her illness) that the death of the poor
woman had been caused by an insufficiency of food, it
being alleged that the bishop s servants were kept on
board wages much too small to find them necessaries ;
and a communication of the suddenness of the death and
of the prevalence of such reports having been communi-
cated to the coroner, that officer issued his warrant for
