WuoLwICH, MAY 22. The Terrible steam-frigate,
Captain Ramsey, finished taking her coals on board
yesterday at Greenhithe, and was under orders to leave
for Sheerness this morning. When the Brighton steam-
vessel, under the direction of Captain the Hon. G. F.
Hotham, arrived yesterday at Greenhithe, and passed
between the Amphion and Terrible steam-frigates,
Captain the Honourable G. F. Hotham invited
Captain Ramsey on board, and that officer pro-
ceeded round the Nore light in her, and, was so
highly gratified with her great speed as to remain on
board when she returned to Long-reach, and witnessed
the speed of the vessel tested six times up and down the
measured mile, and it was ascertained that her progress
was 15 knots, or 17i miles per hour, the greatest speed
ever obtained by any steam-vessel. The Brighton is
one of three built by Mr. Thomson, from designs by Mr.
Lang, jun.. and constructed of wood, with engines by
Messrs. Pons of 160-horse power, on the oscillating
principle, with a stroke of 4 feet. The other two vessels
for the Brighton Railway Company are to be named the
Dit-ppe and New Haven, and intended to run betwixt
Brighton and Dieppe, and from thi ir great speed will
materidly shorten the passage to France. Captain
;,mithett, of the Garland, the fastest of the Dover
packets, was on board the Brighton, and a number of
scientific gentlemen interested in the speed of steam-
vessels.
