containing 156 tons of water. Each Eil lifti-ii.blikt-
8,000 square feet of tube surface, exclasivaiif-ItuelA7
or furnace, and about 400 square feet\of::fii4Aiiir4,
surface. Each is equal to supply freely irikrao.r. , s
derate firing steam for an indicator of 1,800-laOrie" '
power when working with 151 b. ; but Ni4tily tot_::'
firing can supply freely for an indicator of 2
horse power. The fireplaces and ash-pits are *tied-,
so as to be well adapted for the use of anthracite
coal.
The screw engines are constructed on the same
improved principles. They have four cylinders of
84 inches diameter and 4 feet stroke. The cylin-
ders are capable of being worked together or
separately. When working 45 strokes a minute,
with steam on at 151 b. and cutti9. off at one-third
of the stroke, these engines give an indicated
power of 4,400 horses, but at 55 strokes a minute,
steam on at 251 b., and cutting off at one-quarter of
the stroke, the power will reach to 6,500 horses.
Tbus the united efforts of both screw and paddle
engines-will drive the immense vessel through the
water with a power of no less than .12,000
horses. What fleet could stand in the way of such
a mass, weighing some 30,000 tons, and driven
through the water by 12,000-horse power at the rate
of 22 or 23 miles an hour ? The screw engine
boilers are in three distinct sets. , Their -weight is
362 tons, and their capacity for" water 270 tons.
The .probable consumption of coal when 'both
engines are at full work will average 250 tons per
day. The cellular compartments at the bottom of
the ship will be used for pumping water into in.,
stead of ballast, and as the webs subdividing these
•are : made perfectly water-tight, any one or any
number can be filled at pleasure. The trial trip
will probably take place about the end of next
September. No destination for this run, has yet
been fixed, but we would advise the directors, if
they wish to maintain the great reputation the ship
has already achieved with the public, %lotto let
this matter be overlooked. A mere experimental -
cruise, and a trial of her different rates of speed,
will not give the public such implicit confidence in
the unrivalled capacity of the ship as if she ran
between two given points—say, from Portland to
Gibraltar and back. On such a. trip there could
be no mistake whatever as to her ,rate.. of speed,
which we firmly believe will eurpasi even, themost
sanguine expectations that have yet been formed.
The objections which have been urged against this
noble vessel are precisely of the same sort as those
which have been advanced against impt,toemqns
of every kind—against railways, steam machinery,
iron ships, and large ships. What would not hare
been said 20 years ago against building such vessels
as the Himalaya or the Persia—what, in fact,
was not predicted against them when they
were built ? The Great Eastern is to be the
Himalaya of her class, and the results which
will be attained by her speed we believe
will revolutionise our whole mercantile marine.
Both as a commercial speculation, and as an
enginethng triumph, her success is now un-
doubted, and under the energetic management of
the new company her voyages are likely to be as
lucrative as they will be rapid. The day is not
far distant when the Great Eastern will only be
one of a class of steamers, and Mr. Brunel, to whom
alone the great ship is due, will see in such fruits 4
the highest reward Which even his great skill and ,
enterprise can achieve:.'; , '., v.,- ,• (1- z•), - -,, f 7:

THE Pj(9q.p3IATIOX Or gEZTER4L
KLAPKA. • • •

A Turin paper publishes the following proclama-
tion by General Klapka, drawn up for distribution
among the Hungarian soldiers in the Austrian

ranks :

" Guerrieri !—Ten years have elapsed since the
flower of your countrymen were immolated on the
altar of their native land—slaughtered by the exe-
cutioner's hand ; for ten years past our Hungarian
country has endured the yoke of Austria—for ten
years the Austrian dominator governs with arbi-
trary will, and tramples on our most sacred rights
—for ten years the Hungarian warrior serves as a
slave the foreign lord, who replies to just complaints
with blows, and rewards love of country with
scaffolds and with bullets.

" The hour of vengeance has struck. Already the
storm gathers over the fraudulent House of Aus-
tria. Its friends abandon it. The Czar of Russia
himself now arms in a very, different sense from ten
years ago, and will break its pride.
" Already the Italians, our brethren in misfor-
tune, brandish arms to conquer independence. And
you, Magyar warriors, how should you remain in
the enemy's ranks? How could you fight against
those who have risen to shake off the yoke of servi-
tude ?

" Oh, it cannot be that you are the mercenaries
of the oppressor ! Hasten hither, oh warriors—
hither, where the holy cause of your country sum-
mons you!
" You cannot have forgotten how many times
the Austrians were put to flight by your bayonets.
You cannot ha% e forgotten the glorious days of
Isasezeg, Pisti, Szolnok, Nazy-Sarlo, and Komorn.
Nor will you have forgotten that Hungary has
been free and great.
" Behold the time arrived to reacquire that which
has been lost, and to revenge the sanguinary
banquets of Pesth and Arad, which raised through-
out the world a cry of horror.
" Now we are no longer alone and abandoned.
The heroic King of Piedmont stands at the head of
the Italian army, and by his side is the powerful
Emperor of the French. The flags of the two
nations combine ; France and Italy—that is the
signal of attack. They already reckon upon us,
they expect us ; how should we be the last to take
part in a war on whose result our liberation
depends ?
" Unite yourselves, courageously and with con-
fidence,
to the French and Italian armies ; for none
but the vile can doubt of the successful resnit-- '
none but a traitor fight under the banner :of :
Austria.
" Hasten, then, to the Hungarian standira;
which we have raised for you. At the same time
war win break out in Hungary ; the Emperor of
the French and the King of -Piedmont have recog-
nised the holiness of our cause. we possess their
sympathy; the Italian soldiers will join us, and so
do you join yourselves to them.
" Let us form in Italy an Hungarian army, with
which, after fighting on Italian ground, we may
return to our own country to take (part, also, in
the war of independence and honour of the Mag-
yar nation.
" The independence of our country requires
victims. With their blood did our ancestors con-
quer, and defend, and for centuries maintain it ;
and we with our blood are bound to reconquer it.
" Your generals, of 1848-9 and your fellow-
soldiers reckon upon you because they know what
heart it is that beats in the breast of the Magyar
warrior. For my part, I doubt not that you will
respond to this political proclamation.
" GEORGE KLAPKA, General.'

A GOOD BEGINNING.--“ All's well that enas
well," says the proverb. It is true, yet it is fii4o of intinnie •
importance to begin well. Mr. ames, some Years since,_
was wathing an apprentice, whose habits were not
steady, fold up a newspaper. At the first fold them
was a wrinkle, and at every succeeding fold wrinkle
grew worse and more unmanageable. _
ble. Mr. Baines said
-,it is a bad thin to
significantly to the
begin wrong." The poor "fejllionlw found it so, forhegsoeonna
fell a victim to his vices. His master had begun right,
every succeeding fold of line was easy and straight.
