It appears that on the lith ult. a large portion of
General Taylor's army moved up the river for the purpose
of crossing. General Taylor remained at the fortificaz:ons
with about 300 men. When the army were seen by the
Mexicans, on the opposite side of the river, to leave the
encampment,they approached the fort and General Arista
sent a flag of truce to General Taylor requesting an ar-
mistice of six weeks, giving as a reason for his request,
that he desired to communicate with his Government.
General Taylor replied that he would give General Arista
until eight o'clock the next morning to evacuate the city
of Matamoras, and would permit him to take away the
public property under his charge. The flag then returned,
and on the next day the 18th, the "army of occupation"
crossed on flats of their own construction, and the
bodies of waggons calked. The passage was about four
miles from Fort Brown. On arriving at the city, it
was discovered that General Arista had departed
with forces, leaving only the mounted battery.
All the mortars. and such of the military apparatus
as could not be removed, in his haste to escape,
were thrown into the wells. Immediately after the en-
trance of General Taylor into Matamoras, a detachment
was ordered out to reconnoitre. They overtook a portion
of the Mexicans, who were retreating, twenty-two of
whom were made prisoners. It is understood that Gen.
Arista's bead-quarters are at San Ferna"do, about ninety
miler_from_llll,staanswas,--Con, Taylor issued ordors to-
bis army not to take anything from the inhabitants,
without paying full value for what they took. The citi-
zens of Matamoras were permitted to transact business as
usual, with the exception of selling strong drinks. It is
said that the Mexican soldiers refusrd to defend Alata-
moras, having had no rations served out to them for five
days.

_Hon. Lord Wodehouse

Lord Lieutenant,

Lord Hastings,

On Friday last, this fine iron steamer made a most suc-
cessful trial trip, the result of which is the more inte-
resting from its establishing a `• fact," which some nau-
tical men have inclined to doubt, in regard to the best-
adapted form of hull for a mercantile steam-vessel, com-
bining the desiderata of adequate steerage room and capa-
city for rapid locomotion.
The Ajax was built by our townsmen, Nlessrs. Thomas
Vernon and Son, for the Cork and London Steam-ship
Company, and is intended to run between the two ports
named, with merchandise and passengers, for which she
is in every point admirably adapted. The following are
her dimensions :

The model of the vessel was provided by. Mr. Hezelden,
aisisteifby Mr. Rajah', the intelligentforemert at Messrs:
Vernon's establishment, and a more beautiful vessel in
appearance on the water can scarcely be conceived. The
novelly introduced in respect to form—for it may be so
considered, being contrary to the generally received opi-
nions entertained by naval architects of the old school—
is, that she has a considerably greater length of flooring,
with little or no rise, than is usually adopted, but with
very fine extremities. particularly that at the bow, the
stern being rather fuller at the load-line—an inversion
to some extent of the principle usually urged as re-
quisite for fastness. It appears to us, however, and to
others more skilled than we assume to be in this most de-
licate sit, that several decided advantages are achieved by
this description of formation, especially for steam vessels
to Ise propelled by the paddle-wheel. In the fist place
the long fiat floor not only gives greater room for stowage
with a lighter draft of water, but from its longitudinal
bearing prevents that pitching in a sea-way to which ves-
sels with a short fluor are liable ; and, with a fine entrance
it does not appear, as in this instance proved, that the
fullness of bilge retards the progress of the ship—the
greater portion of the water passing under her bottom in
place of clipping her sides. The comparative fullness abaft,
too, not only gives the vessel more to sit upon at the stern.
so that she is safer in a chasing sea, but if we mistake
not—a good elearpnce being still left—does away to
a great extent with that suction which frequently
evinces itself, from the approach to a vacuum produced by
superfluous fineness under the counter, in a succession of
waves curling after the ship to fill up the cavity she has

In proof of the Public approbation of the principles and con-
duct of this Company, it may be sufficient to state, that its
business now exceeds FIFTY-EIGHT MILLIONS.

We learn by subsequent advices that the United States
steam. frigate Mississippi arrived at Vera Cruz on. the
18th, when the port was blockaded by that steamer and
the Falmouth sloop of war. The frigate Raritan was
hourly expected to join them. The Mexican Government
had annulled the powers of the American Consuls, bad
given orders that all Americans were to leave Vera Cruz
in eight days, and were making every effort to carry out
the war with success, by replenishing the treaiury, and
by carrying through some very strong measures. The
castle of St. Jam d'Ulloa and the city are represented to
be in an excellent state of defence, and to require a very
strong force to be successfully attacked. The Republicano,
of the city of Mexico, of the 13th, says that it was the in-
tention of the government to send their war-steamers Gua-
,nupe and M to 1'- to b

On arriving at the latter port. the steamers were to hoist the
Mex;can flag and fire a salute. The Mexican sailors re-
ful,ed to sail under thegernnelitinne anti the ateamera were

Sugar—

to leave the river Alvarado, where they had been laid up
in ordinary under the British flag, and commanded by a
British officer. They have since arrived at Havana.

The Apache lndittris have attacked the town of Apulo,
here they killed thirty-two Mexicans, the Indians steal-

_ .
made, aid which is in fact a retarding suction. The pad-
dle- wheels of the Ajax are placed further aft than is usual,
and this is found to counteract the tendency to draw more
water forward when going at speed.
There was on board on the day of trial a small and
pleasant party of gentlemen, and a few ladies. Amongst
the former were Mr. Hazelden, Mr. Grindrod, (Commo-
dore of ihe Royal Mersey Yacht Club,) Mr. Vernon,
senior, Mr. Frank Bury, partner in the house of Me,srs.
Bury, Curtis, and Kennedy, builders of the engines,
Capt. Holt, superintendent for the owners. Mr. Tipton,
draughtsman at Messrs. Vernon's, and other gentlemen.
Capt. Mow le, a gentleman of long experience, and who is
in command of the ship, was also on board, together with
his lady and some female friends.
The Engines are on Bury, Curtis, and Kennedy's di-
rect action principle, w th beaten iron frame-work, and
are superb pieces of workmanship. The cylinders are
each about 70 inches in diameter, and there are two effec-
tive air-pumps, which do away with ail objections at first
entertained to the principle of these engines, the great
advantage of which is that they are much lighter than or.
dinar), eneines, and occupy much le:zs room, the space
required for the whole of the machinery being a compart-
ment of oily eleven feet longitudinally with the vessel.
The CABINS are both comfortably and elegantly fitted
up, entirely by Messrs. Vernon themselves, who have
evinced much taste and judgment in the whole arrange-
ments. The plan of the saloon and state-rooms resem-
bles that generally adopted in the Glasgow coasting steam-
ships. and caw scarcely be improved. The walls are em-
panelled in painted satin-wood, with maple styles, divided
by pilasters of the same apparent material, surmounted by
capitals and a cot nice with sparing but chaste gilding.
The furniture and bed fittings of the Mato-rooms, wi •
are large, and repltte with every requisite for ease and
comfort, are of the best description. The ventilation is

also superior.
The Ajax is rigged as a three-masted schooner, without
the incumbrance of topmasts. She floated so compara-
tively light that she would have made better work of it
had she been six to eight inches deeper in the water, as
the paddle-boards were scarcely sufficiently submerged.
She left the south end of the Prince's Pier shortly after 11
o'clock, ant passed the Clarence. Dock gates at 11h. 18w
but did not acquire full speed until opposite the Rock
Lighthouse, when it was 26 minutes past eleven o'clock.
She had, however. previously beaten the King Orry.
The Cambria, a still smarter steam-boat, running to the
Menai Bridge, had about a two miles' start of the Ajax.
The former took the South or Horse Channel, in which
she had sufficient water; the latter the Victoria Channel,
(round the Beil Buoy,) a considerable distance further to
the N. W. Light Ship, but with some hopes of overtaking
the Welsh boat outside. The engines of the Ajax made
on an average about twenty-one strokes per minute, with
a paddle-wheel of 27/feet over the floats, so that her pro-
pelling power, even with the engines new and stiff, may
be calculated. The tide wax in favour of both vessels,
it being high water at Liverpool at Bh. sm. evening.
She passed the Ccoshie Light Ship 18/ minutes before 12,
and the Bell Buoy 6/. minutes past twelve. Her speed
by log. of fair stretch was eleven and twelve knots. At 23
minutes past one o'clock she passed the Cambria. cutting
her off. notwithstanding ber shorter distance to this point
of about five miles. At ten minutes past two, the Ajax
got off the Great Orsmht-ad. She was now nearly two
miles ahead of the Cambria, and reached directly under
the signal station on Puffin Island, near Beaumaris, at 20
minutes before three, making the trip our, of about 51

The celebrated Robert Owen arrived at New York on
the sth instant, on his way from Wabhiugton. He arrived

nautical miles, in 3 hours and 22 minutes, with, in the
latter part, a rather adverse tide. She was now steered
round. The Cambria was at the time about 3 miles astern,
and in shore.

The splendid p-cket-ship Henry Clay left New York
for this port on the 6th instant with thirty-six cabin pas-

seneers

We remark:...d that the vessel made very little or almost
no breast of water at her bow, and left behind her an un.
disturbed wake—a decided proof of a fine entrance and
an equally fine clearance. .

Mr. Templeton, the vocalist, left New York on the 6th
ins►ant, for Philadelphia and Baltimore, but was to return
to New York on the 13th. His concerts had been highly
successful, though an abortive attempt had been made Ly
some of his countrymen to put them down. The effort,
however, completely failed.

The trip home, with the up-coming tide, was equally
successful, and was enlivened by a trial of speed wish the
Medina royal mail steam ship, which, on our turtling, was
greatly to the windward, and several miles ahead, with
canvas set, the wind blowing then from the northward and
eastward. The Ajax never spread a yard of sail, but over-
hauled and passed the Medina off Voel Nant, south of the
Vale of Clwyd, at five na'nutes past four o'clock, after a
stiff stern chase,' which is generally a long one. We
he tded her rapidtv,:althotzgh she was blowine off stean.
and we were rather short of our con,

meat ; and we
passed the Rock Light House at precisely half-past five,
and St. Nicholas's Church at 16 minutes to six, making
the whole distance out and home. of 102 miles, in about
6 hours and 254 minutes, or about 16 miles en hour
i A lunch was nartak

en of by the company on board in
day, and in coming home a sump-

tuous cold collation ana aessert, with champagne and
other wines. The captain presided at one table, and Mr.
Vernon at another, the part of vice-president falling to
Mr. H azelden.

The health of Messrs. Vernon and Messrs. Bury and
Co., the builders of the ship and engines, were heartily
given, and as heartily rssponded to.
When the Ajax had got opposite to Birkenhead pier, or
rather above it, the. Medina had only rounded the Rock
Lighthouse, so that she was beaten by about four miles, in
a course, according to the pilot's account, of about twelve
mica from the time of passing her; although we should
think there is here a slight mistake, as the distance is, we
conjecture, somewhat greater.
At all events, the Ajax has proved herself to be a vessel
of superior power and speed, and we wish her every
success.
