£25,000. With her whole Engines, Boilers? Machinery, Boats,

UPSET PRICE, £20,000.
The Foyle was built in 1847-8. by the eminent engineers
Messrs. Caird and Co., of Greenock, and was launched about a
year ago. She has been employed first on the Londonderry and
Liverpool, and subsequently on the Belfast and Fleetwood sta-
tions, during which time her sailing and steam powers have
been tested, and she has been proved, both as a sea and river
boat, of first-rate qualities, and equal, if not superior, to any
other vessel employed on the same stations.
The Contract price was considered moderate, and the vessel
being considered as good as new, is well worth her cost; but,
to secure a Sale, the Upset Price has been fixed as above.
She has one and a break deck and two masts, and her dimen-
sions and descriptions per register (dated at Greenock, 27th
January, 1848) are as follow :—Length from inner part of main
stem to fore part of sternpost aloft, 196 5-10ths feet; breadth
in midships, 25 8-10ths feet; depth in hold at midships,
16 8-10ths feet ; propelled by steam ; with an Engine-room
55 4-10ths feet long; and 259 87-100th tons; schooner rigged,
with standing bowsprit, square sterned, iron, clinch built ; has
mock quarter or sham galleries, and a woman figure head.
The Cabin accommodation for Passengers is of very superior
description, the whole fittings and furniture being of elegant
and excellent materials. The Steerage is also comfortably fit-
ted up, and the Vessel is peculiarly adapted for Cattle, Stock,
and Heavy Goods.
The Engines are on the oscillating principle ; diameter of cy-
linders, 68 inches ; length of stroke, 6 feet 3 inches. The Boi-
lers are tubular, of the most approved construction, fitted with
Brass Tubes, &c.
The bunkers are constructed to hold 80 tons of Coals, the
consumption being about 34 cwt. (Liverpool coal) when running
at 12 knotts an hour, the usual speed of the vessel.
The Sails, Boats, and whole Apparelling being almost new,
and having been little used and well kept, are in excellent order.
The Vessel is now, and will continue till Sold, lying in the
East Harbour of Greenock, where she may be seen and in-
spected on application to Captain FORREST, on board.
For detailed Inventories and a Plan of the Vessel, the Condi-
tions of Sale, and all further information, apply, in Greenock,

SHIP SIGNAL

THE attention of Commanders and Owners of
Vessels is respectfully called to the SHIP SIGNAL LAN-
TERN, recently Invented and Registered by
JAMES TASKER,
SHIP IRONMONGER AND BRASS FOUNDER,
41, SOUTH CASTLE-STREET,
LIVERPOOL.

The advantages of this Ship Light are, first, that it combines
in one lantern all the distinctness and designating colours at-
tained by three separate Lamps on the usual plan. Secondly,
that having one bright colourless light in front, and two varied
coloured lights (one at each side), and placed diagonally with
the other, the real position of an approaching Ship may be
readily determined by the spectatoron board of another vessel.
Thirdly, it is superior to any single Lantern hitherto in use, as
affording due warning whether the vessel is coming how on, or
Whether her starboard or her port bow is nearest. Fourthly,
this Lantern, in cost and lighting, though strongly made and
glazed iwthe best manner, is cheaper than the ordinary Ship
Lantern.

The Lantern '(which has already been used and highly ap-
proved of by many Captains) may be had, of any desired size,
.4 ,41,. SOUTH CASTLE-STREET.
