statism there. She returned to Glasgow on Wednesday
morning, took in her coals, and sailed that night for
Leith and Hainburgh direct. This is one of the most
Astinguished instances of engine. making precision, good
workmanship, and dispatch we. have ever heard of.
Though there was no time lost iu racing. with any other
vessel to try her speed, the engines going twenty-two
revolutions, driving a twenty-four-foot wheel, gives a
progress of nearly fifteen miles an hour. The broad
sea going proportions of the vessel, compact patent tn-
glues, and whole outfit, are worthy of the reputation of
the eminent builders. The saloon comforts and decora•
tiou have been duly cared for. by Messrs. Ballardie and
Anderson, cabinet-makers and nphosterers; Arnot and
Co., painters; Allan,. carver; and Cairney, glass stainer.
