.t.s.trm-cri OP THE SCREW STEAMER LIISITANIA.,---On
Tuesday, the Lusitania, the third screw steamship belong-
ing to the South American and General Steam Navigation
Company, intended to sail between Liverbool and South
America, was launched at Birkenhead from the build
yard of Mr. John Laird. The weather being bright,
warm, and sunny, a very gay and pleasing spectacle pre-
sented itself to the numerous and highly gratified specta-
tors. The important ceremony of naming the vessel de-
volved on Mrs. Thompson, wife of one of the Liverpool
Managers of the company, and that lady performed the
duty with much grace and suitable dignity. The vessel
glided steadily along in her course towards the water,
took an admirable plunge as she reached it, making the
smooth water surge again in foaming eddies as she clove
mits bosom, amidst the reiterated and prolonged cheers of
-"Le spectators. The Lusitania may be described as a twin
bast
with the Brazileira, being built on the same lines as
that vessel, and with the like power. The Lusitania is
2aO feet long, 30 feet beam, and 22 feet deep. She is
k0c1,200 tons new measurement. Her engines, which are in
theess of construction by Messrs. Fawcett, Preston,
hand
this towia, are of the same amount of power as t.so:oe
be "ue Brazileira—namely, 200 horse-Power• There is a difference in the mode of applying their power.'
