tifie gentlemen. She steamed at the rate of from 11 to
12 knots per hour, and gave great satiafaction to all on
board. She is fitted vvith a pair of double cylinder engines
of 200-horse power, lately patented by Messrs. Msud►lay,
Sons, and Field; they are beautifully made, and the en-
gine-room presents great neatness and accommodation,
with every facility for attending to any part of the machi-
nery. The saloon is built upon deck, is spicioue, end con-
tains the usual quantity of gold, mahogany, and French
polish; but the accommodation below is worthy great
praise, the berths being built one over the other in steps, or
set-,-off, which render them easy of access; they are com-
posed of mahogany, and are being furnished in a handsome ;
manner. The vessel was built for the Steam Nav;gation I
Company of the two Sicilics, and is destined to ply from i
Naples to Marseilles.
