HOLYHEAD AND DUBLIN MAIL BOATS.—Four
steamers are employed by the Holyhead Company for the
mail service between Holyhead and Kingstown, viz., the St.
Columbia, one of the Admiralty packets, and purchased by
the contractors; the Eblana and Iron Duke, built of iron, at
the expense of the company; and the Llewellyn, also pur-
chased from the Admiralty. In consequence of the latter
vessel, however, undergoing some repairs, the Banshee has
been lent by the Admiralty until the Llewellyn is ready for
service rgain. Ihe following is the official statement of the
working of the contract boats : —Banshee 37 passage-, short-
est 3h. 50m , longest 4h. 48m., average 4h. 7m. St. Colum-
bia, 41 passengers, shortest 4h. 11m., longest sh. 26m.,
average 4h. 3 m. Eblana, 44 passages, shortest 4h. 20m.,
longest 41). 50m., average 4h. 34m. The Iron Duke, one
passage in 4h. 59m , with a light air. The greatest speed of
the Banshee was 14,61 miles, lowest 11.666 miles, the
average speed being only 13.6 miles per hour. The average
rate of the Columbia is only 12.4 miles, and that of the
Eblana and Iron L uke is under the contract speed, which is
12 knots per hour, the Iron Duke having attained little more
than 11 miles per hour.
THE NI.W PACKET STATION AT LOWESTOET.-OHe
of the new steam-ships, the Prince, designed by Captain
Andrews, the harbour- master at Lowestoft, for the contem-
plated packet service between that port and Ilarnburgb,
made an experimental trip down the river on Tuesday. She
is a line stately-looking vessel of 446 tons burden. Her style
f build, engines, and internal arrangements have had the
benefit of every improvement in naval architecture, and are
such apparently a 5 will secure, as far as possible, speed, se-
curity, and accommodazion. Leaving her moorings at half-
past ten o'clock, with several eminent engineers and other
scientific gentlemen on board, she eteameei down the river
below Sea-reach in excellent at) le. Luring her progress
she had frequent opportunities of testing her speed with the
fast river steamers, and in every instance she exhibited a
superiority of rate. Her speed over the measured mile ex-
ceeded fifteen miles an hour. She is fitted with engines of
200-horsa lower, with oscillating cylinders Ly Penn. They
worked with the greatest ease, scarcely an vibration befog
perceptible. The wheels are 20 feet in diameter, each wheel
being fitted with twelve improved floats, and during the trip
the average number of revolutions were thirty a minute.
Mere dimensions are—length, 160 feet; breadth, 24 feet; and
depth, 13 fest ; and no expense teems to have been spared in
rendering her a first-class packet.
