For many years a "First October Meeting" has not been
so successful as that which was brought to a conclusion
yesterday. The improvements which have been effected on
the course have given general satisfaction.

FIFTEEN SHIPS TO THE MILE.—The rapidity
with which gigantic vessels have been built within the last
few years is perfectly astonishing. It is not so long since
the line-of-battle ship Pennsylvania was quite a lucrative
" show " to the city of Norfolk, thousands going from all
sections to look at her; then the Great Britain was for a
while the wonder of the world ; and the Great Republic,
Niagara, and Himalaya each, from its huge proportions,
attracted public attention for a while. The Journal of
Commerce has constructed a brief table, giving the princi-
pal dimensions of 15 of the largest vessels. Placed in line,
even without bowsprits, they could cover a space of. one
mile in length. Subjoined are the names :—Great Eastern,
580 feet, 19,000 tons ; Adriatic, 390 feet, about 3,500 tons ;
Niagara, 376 feet, 4,580 tons; Himalaya, 360 feet, 5,000
tons ; Duke of Wellington, 240 feet, 2,400 tons ; General
Admiral, 325 feet, 6,000 tons ; Orlando (recently launched
for the British navy), 337 feet, 3,727 tons ; Atrato, C 6 feet,
3,476 tons ; Royal Charter (running " inside 60 days "
from Liverpool to Melbourne), 306 feet, 2,720 tons ; Great
Republic, 302 feet, 3,356 tons ; Pennsylvania, 300 feet,
3,241 tons; Arabia, 300 feet, 2,402 tons; Great Britain, 274
feet, 3,500 tons; Asia, 280 feet, 2,226 thus—total, 6,181
feet, 68,428 tons.—Boston (U. S.) Courier.
REPORTED SHIPWRECK AND GREAT Loss OF
LlFE.—Telegraphic advices received yesterday in anticipa-
t• on of the coming Australian mail report the total loss,
near Cape Northumberland, on the 6th of August, of the
screw steamer Ardmillan (supposed to be Admilla), from
Adelaide, whereby no fewer than 87 lives were lost, only 25
persons being saved.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT.--A frightful accident oc-
curred on Tuesday on board the screw steamer Tweedside,
Capt. Suckling, bound for Antwerp and Cronstadt, lying
at Gravesend. As the anchor was being let go something
was wrong with the cable, and the carpenter, Alexander
Henry, jumped below to rectify it, when the cable surged,
and carried the poor fellow with it nine times round the
Windlass, grinding him to pieces, so that his remains had
to be taken ashore in a bag. Another of the crew had his
leg broken, and amputation was immediately resorted to.
Henry leaves a widow and three young children.
