THE ENGINES, &C.

The engines are by Messrs. Fawcett and Preston. They
are ponderous pieces of mechanism, and beautifully finished.
The cylinders are each 79 inches in diameter. The diameter
of each paddle-wheel is 32 feet. There are two sets of
boilers, and consequently two funnels; but the latter, which
are neat and comparatively low, do not detract from the
beauty of the ship. The plan of two sets of boilers, onebe-
fore and the other abaft the machinery, prevents the vessel
getting out of trim when at sea, as the coals are so equally
spread over the ship, that when the boilers are in active
operation, the consumption of fuel allows the hull to rise
bodily, and without depressing it at either end. With two
sets of boilers, too, one of them can be worked quite inde-
pendently of the other, when that is considered advisable
during a fair wind, or in the event of injury to either. The
bunkers at the sides will contain 700 tons of coals, without
infringing on the holds,—that is, there is stowage room for
that quantity in that part of the body of the ship which con-
tains the boilers and machinery.
The vessel has four wrought-iron water-tight bulk-heads,
(dividing her into five compartments,) to prevent her
from foundering, in the event of heavy leakage ; or save her
from the spread of fire. These bulkheads, too, give great ad-
ditional strength to the ship by binding her transversely, and
they are all cased on each side with timber. The magazine
is calculated to contain three tons of powder, has a two-feet
wide passage all round, and is enclosed between the foremost
water-tight bulkhead and the stem; and by having a pipe of
4 inches bore leading to it from the sea, it can be filled with
water in two minutes, by turning a cock which is within
. reach of the crew, and the powder and other combustibles
rendered harmless in case of fire.

INTERIOR ARRANGEMENTS AND ACCOMMODATIONS.
The cabins (like those of the " Oriental") are quite ori-
ginal. and were planned by Mr. J. C. Shaw, the marine su-
perintendant of the Co.' who, during long experience in
steam-ships, has devoted much attention to this important
department ; and who, greatly successful, and universally ad-
mitted, as have been his former efforts to ensure the utmost
comfort of all on board, has, in this instance, we think sur-
passed even himself. Although there are four decks above
each of the lower holds, the light is admitted in so admirable
a manner, that a book may be read during day-light in any
paat of the vessel, and the ventilation is such that she may
be kept cool and sweet throughout in any climate.
- -

The SALOON, or Dining Room, first claims attention.
The principal entrance is by a wide staircase from the fore
part of the quarter-deck, with a folding-door on each side,
and is exceedingly
well designed, and beautiful in interior
effect. These doors lead by a few steps to a wide central
common stair in the middle. The roof of this companion-
way is of ample height, and of a peculiar curved form adapted
to the descent, with five oblong plates of glass in the lower
or after part. The whole is elegantly empanelled, and painted
in satin-wood so admirably as to present a perfect repre-
sentation of the real article, finely feathered and highly po-
lished. The upper panels of the sides and doors are formed
of Venetian blinds of a delicate green, and which at once
admit an abundance of light and air. From the bottom of
the stair—round which there is space forming a vestibule,
with an entrance to the steward's pantry and other rooms—
the visitor proceeds to the saloon by a wide passage or cen-
tral corridor, in thelmiddle of which is an oblong open space
or well, surrounded by a handsome light iron railing, and
admitting light to the " story" below from
a cor-
light on the spar deck, covering the whole s
ridore, on each side of which are state-ro.omPacei's

here we observe a nice
many of our larger steamers; but
arrangement. The dining-tables, in
four rows, will accom-
modate ninety persons; but beyond that number no provi-
sion is made for passengers to crowd into one nertment,—

for it must not be forgotten that when the ship gets to her
intended station, she will be always subject to a very high
temperature—far beyond that of even our present hot sum-
mer. It is therefore necessary that passengers should be
led, by the arrangements, to separate from each other, and
retire to their own rooms to 1011, or to the passages along the
sides of the vessel, in which seats are placed for the lan-
guid, and in which there is always a fresh current of air.
The dining-room is nevertheless a fine and, but for compa-
rison, a spacious apartment—being 35 feet by 291,, and of
ample height. It is lighted by seven large stern windows of
plate glass, four side port windows (two on each side), and
a large central dome or deck-light. The paint-work is by
Mr. Goore (as is all the finer painting of the ship), and is
highly creditable to him, both in point of taste and execu-
tion. The colours are simple, and in delicate tints ; the
effect intended to be produced—and, we think, attained—
being coolness. There is a complete absence of gaudiness,
and, we may almost-say, of gilding ; and here we think the
Directors have acted wisely. In our seas, where com-
petition between rival companies is carried' on with in-
defatigable spirit, it is perhaps prudent so to decorate
cabins of vessels as to produce an qffect on the minds
of casual visitors, when they are in port. This may
tell, and induce a party, or an individual, to make a
trip to " the Emerald Isle," or " the Land of Cakes ;"
but the Hindostan requires no meretricious ornament;
she is comfortable, and even elegant, without it. When
she reaches her station, she will have no rival ; she will
stand alone. Her outfit is beyond the power of competition.
A ship, the cost of which is above £BO,OOO, is not likely to
meet with opponents; and it would therefore be unwise to
add to that large amount by the use of gold as a mere °ma.
ment.

The walls of the saloon are panelled, and styled in
polished rosewood, with a handsome cornice. The panels
are formed of beautifully painted, and japanned, on sheets of
slate, executed by Messrs. Jennins and Betteridge, the cele-
brated manufacturers of decorative papier macho"; and,
precisely resemble the finest paintings on that material. Si-
milar paintings are introduced in the woodwork of the stern,
and also on the sides of two convenient staircases at each
corner of the room abaft. These stairs are ornamented by
elegant light railings, similar to those in the grand entrance.
The ceiling is divided into transverse compartments between
the beams, which are supported on each side by elegant
foliated trusses, in pale blue and gold, imitating the richest
porcelain. The panelled compartments are painted in pale
azure, with primrose styles, and white Grecian ornaments
surround the cornicing,—the whole producing a light, cool,
and airy effect. On the wall, on each side the main
entrance, there are four columns, in white veined marble, with
Corinthian capitals, in pale blue and gold, corresponding with
the trusses. The frieze and entablature are of the richest Co-
rinthian order, in imitation of carved statuary marble. The
main skylight is panelled and painted to correspond with the
ceiling, and ornamented below with raised leaves of laurel,
in white, sparingly tipped with gold. This sky-light (as well
as all the others in the ship) is fitted with large sheets of
fluted plate glass, of extraordinary thickness, which subdues
the light, and produces a pleasing effect to the eye. The
mizen-mast is cased and pannelled, with japanned paintings,
and is otherwise ornamented. The stern windows, of po-
lished plate glass, it may be remarked., afford, as well as
those of the sides, an uninterrupted view of the sea or sur-
rounding scenery, and may be readily opened to admit the
cooling breeze. The furniture is plain but handsome, and of
polished satin wood. The long backed-seats ranged along
the tables, and firmly fixed to the floor, are cane-bottomed.
On each side the main entrance, and filling the large spaces
between the Corinthian columns, stands a handsome side-
board—bookcases forming the wings. These are of Grecian
design, with similar columns, &c., the whole of polished
satin wood. They are each covered with a thick slab of white
statuary marble, over which, between the book-cases, and
reaching to the ceiling, there is a splendid mirror, six feet in
length, forming the backs. These sideboards are fitted up
interiorly and lined with crimson velvet, to contain the plate,
the knives and forks, &c. They have a magnificent appear-
ance.

The long corridors, or passages (before alluded to) on each
side of the ship on this deck, and separating the state-rooms
from the sides, are a novelty, and we doubt not will be
highly approved of by passengers. The corridor on the
starboard side—all the state-rooms on which are appropriated
for gentlemen—is 170 feet in length, and has an extraordinary
appearance when seen from either end. It, indeed, resem-
bles a street, and as Captain Moresby, her commander, re-
marked on seeing it, it is wider than many of the streets in
Cairo. Both corridors have an entrance from the saloon,
each resembling a secret door. On the main deck, in front
of the saloon, are the cooking houses, and other erections in
the middle; and on each side are state-rooms for the officers,
engineers, and others connected with the working of the
ship, the preparation of the food, &c.—the whole forming a
spacious arcade, lighted from the spar deck. The forecastle,
close forward, is appropriated for the blue jackets.
There are sixty STATE-ROOMS in all, exclusive of the
captain's and officer's. They are all large and fitted up in
the best manner, and even those in •• the lower story" under
the Saloon, lighted from the opening in the central corridor
before noticed, combine the greatest degree of comfort, light,
elegance, and free circulation which it is possible to conceive.
Many of the state-rooms are so contrived by partitioning,
that they may be changed in a variety of ways, 'affording
more or less accommodation as it may be required by fami-
lies, or single persons ;—and we give, as something curious,
the peculiar changes that may be effected connected with
this part of the vessel :
The 60 rooms can accommodate 165 persons.
Ten of these 60 rooms are thus arranged :-
3 contain 2 berths and 2 sofas in each
1 „ 2 „ and 3 „
2 „ 1 „ and 2 If
3 „ 3 „ and 1
1 „ 4 „ and 1 „ .
Or the 60 may be converted into
17 containing 1 berth and 1 sofa in each

Or they may be so disposed as to accommodate,
52 persons with each a private cabin ; and 33 persons in S
state-rooms, thus :

Each state-room has a writing table, with all requisite ma-
terials for the use of those afflicied with furor scribendi.
These rooms are lighted by night with wax candles, acted on
by a spring as they burn away, and hung in a gimbol swing.
The Ladies have the larboard side of the cabin arrange-
ments entirely to themselves ; and in a lineal space of about
100 feet, every accommodation they can require is provided.
The Ladies' retiring-room is spacious, and fitted up in the
same style of neatness that characterises the dining cabin.
The sleeping-rooms are also exceedingly commodious. The
Ladies' Saloon is lighted by a circular dome light of fluted
glass. _ _ _

- Lightness and coolness have been the primary objects aimed
at throughout by Mr. Shaw ; and he has been eminently suc-
cessful. More of both, indeed, could not be introduced with-
out detracting from other comforts. His principle of venti-
lation appears to us to be excellent. He makes the main
hatchway (which need never be closed in any weather) the
principal artery for air in the after cabbins—currents of which
pass through perforated plates in its boarded sides. Spaces,
both at the floor and the top of every apartment, large and
small, are also formed for the same purpose, and fitted with
perforated zinc. A similar arrangement gives air to the fore-
cabins; and, in addition to this, every room in the ship has
its air constantly changed (by means of concealed pipes of 4i
inch bore) by the action of the two funnels of the engine-
room boilers; and as long as steam is up, an immense quan-
tity of air is drawn from the cabins, &c, and passes out at the
top of the funnels, while fresh atmosphere, as a matter of
course, supplies its place.
When at sea, the passengers, in going from the fore to the
after-cabins, or the reverse, are, by means of the long corri-
dor and other arrangements, completely isolated from the
crew. They are in fact so shut off from that portion of the
vessel in which the crew are located, that they cannot ap-
proach the latter without going on the spar-deck, and then
passing down the step-ladders provided for those working
the ship.
In the after part of the lower sleeping-rooms abaft are two
spacious apartments close to the stern, sofaed round in a
double tier with railings, for the accommodation and recrea-
tion of children, who, we believe, generally form no inconsi-
derable portion of the number of passengers passing to and
from India. Here, when they are tired of the decks and cor-
ridors, they may roll, romp, and gamble to their hearts' con-
tent, without disturbing any of their more sedate seniors.
There are a vast number of what may be called supple-
mentary arrangements for comfort and accommodation,
which we have not room to notice in detail. The steward's
pantry, near the bottom of the grand staircase, is large, and
fitted up with great ingenuity. It has a communication with
the saloon by the central corridor, and another with the
cooking department on the main deck, under cover. Here
hot and cold water is introduced by pipes, with every con-
venience for washing up. There are shower and other baths,
&c. in each of the quarter galleries, out of the saloon, both
admirably contrived, and each well lighted by a triple side
window. There are also detached baths, to the ladies cabin

bullion-room, leilel

LITERARY NOTICES.

Thomson's Seasons. Published by Longman and Co., Lon-

don; G. Linnecre, Liverpool.

This undying work (the edition of 1746), has been just
re-published by Messrs. Longman, in an unprecedented
style, whether as regards the embellishments, typography,
or beauty of the tout ensemble. The vignettes, upwards of
70 in number, are the productions of the members of the
Etching Club, from designs (drawn on the wood and trans-
ferred to blocks of copper, by the electrotype process), by
Creswick, Taylor, Redgrave, Cope, Bell, Webster, Horsley,
Townsend, Stonhouse, Knight, &c. The engravers are the
Branstons, Landells, Williams, Thompson, Green, Jackson,
and Vizetelly. A life of the author is added to the poem.
The book is edited by Mr. Bolton Corney. The colour of
the binding is ultra-marine ; the paper and typography are
of the finest quality : in fact, the book is one of the hand-
somest works published of late years, and is highly suitable
for present or remembrance.

ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY.

(From the Leeds Times.)

Somewhere about nine months ago, a gentleman named
Charles Brook, Esq., a wealthy American merchant, retired
from the toils of business, and returning to his native
country took up his residence among his relatives in the
beautiful rural village of Mirfield. The family consists of
himself, his wife, and two daughters, the eldest of whom is
the heroine of the present eventful story. Attached to the
establishment was a young man named Benjamin Hall ; he
is nearly 20 years of age, and was employed in the character
of boots, occasional groom, &c. Miss Brook is 23 years
old, and it appears that for a considerable time a latent
passion for young Benjamin had been growing within her
bosom, which gradually increased with the growth of time,
so that whenever he was engaged at his occupation in the
yard she placed herself at one of the windows, and never left
it until he had finished and departed from her sight. The
artless and unsophisticated youth of course neither knew nor
suspected the nature of the cogitations which prompted her
to wath him. On the contrary, he had often been heard to
complain of her conduct, " because," said he, " it seemed
as if he could not do his duty without being watched."
Finding that the pleasing rustic was wholly insensible to the
language of her eyes, our indomitable heroine resolved to
seek a private interview, and sound his heart—
" And if an infant passion struggled there
To call the passion forth."
This interview, and a series of others, it may be easily con-
ceived, were not long delayed. Benjamin most willing reci-
procated, and at length the wedding was proposed. Here,
however, he hesitated, and for a time his courage failed him.
He feared, perhaps, it would be taken amiss—the master
might he offended, and then he would lose his place. Such
fears, it is needless to say, were speedily removed or mollified,
and the ultimatum was that he consented to be hers, for
better and for worse. She, therefored, furnished him with
the means, and on Saturday week he went to Dewsbury and
purchased the marriage license. On Sunday evening, the day
following, Miss Brook took an airing in the phaeton alone,
her Adonis being the driver ; here the license was duly conned
over, and it was finally arranged that the marriage should
take place on Tuesday, the 2nd inst.
Early in the morning of that memorable day they accord-
ingly arose. Benjamin, with his fair one's assistance, pre-
pared a horse and gig from his master's stables, into which
they sprung like lightning, and drove off about four o'clock
by a circuitous route to the ancient village of Birstal, un-
preceived by any of the family or servants. They arrived at
the Black Bull Inn, a little before seven o'clock, where they
remained till eight ; they then proceeded to the church, and
the marriage was duly solemnised by the Rev. W, Heald, the
vicar. After the ceremony was over, they again returned to
the Black Bull Inn. In the meantime the family at ?airfield
arose as usual, and seated themselves at the breakfast table,
but the young lady's place was empty. A maid was, there-
fore, despatched to her lodging-room to fetch her, but in-
stead of bring Miss Brook, she brought the following laconic
note from her dressing-table :—" Dear Mamma,.— Pray
don't be alarmed ; lam only gone to get married." This, of
course, put the whole house in a ferment, and Messrs. Geo.
Mitchell, of the Yew Tree, Fearnsides, and Fairburn,
and other neighbours, were called in, and sent in quest of the
fugitives. Birstal, being about 3 miles distant, was thought
to be the destination of the lovers. Mr. Mitchell arrived
first, on horseback, and proceeding to the Black Bull Inn,
found them in the traveller's-room. The bridegroom
bid him good morning, and observed, " Had you been here
half an hour ago you would just have been in time for the
wedding." " What!" said he, in a rage, "is it over.
and darting out of the room, went to the vicar to ascertain
the fact. Mr. Heald, assured him that it was true, remark-
ing, " I have only just returned from the church." " And
cannot you, then," replied, Mr. Mitchell, " undo what you
have done ?" "No, sir," observed Mr. Heald, smiling,
"if I could do so I should have plenty of work !" Mr. M.
then returned to the inn, where he found the other gentle-
men, who had arrived in a phaeton. An attempt was then
made to part those whom " GOD had joined together," by
giving the bridegroom into custody on the charge of stealing
the horse and gig ! This was too much for the young lady's
equanimity. She then stood forth, and said in a tone of
great anger, " No, gentlemen, Benjamin is now my husband,
he was then my father's servant, and in taking the horse
and gig he only obeyed my commands!" Then, turning to
her husband, and presenting him with her gold watch and
purse, said. " Here, take those, they might as well charge
you with stealing them." The charge then of course
fell to the ground, and all parties for several hours
sat in sullen and rigid silence, save the sighs and
sobbings of the afflicted lady. At length Benjamin,
whom we shall call Mr. Hall, rose and said to his
wife, and his brother (a minor, who had been engaged
to give the lady in marriage), " Come, let us now
go home." Upon which Mr. Fearnsides exclaimed, in a
frantic manner, " If you attempt to move I will shoot you !"
" And if you attempt to do that," said Mr. Hall's brother,
" I will knock you down," accommodating his fist to the
expression ; and again all became seated and silent. While
things remained in this state the young lady's father (who
had only just returned from Liverpool) arrived at the inn.
Upon his entering the room Mrs. Hall immediately rose,
and, curtseying, seized him by the hand ; and after com-
plaining bitterly of the conduct of the individuals present,
stated her warm attachment to her Benjamin. After Mrs.
Hall had done speaking all again became silent for a consi-
derable time. At length some refreshments were ordered,
and a more conciliatory policy adopted. It was ultimately
and mutually agreed that they should all return to Mirfield,
and see if they could not accommodate matters. Accord-
ingly, at night, the horses, phaeton, and gig were brought
out, and the party started off for Mirfield, Mr. Hall being
between two of the gentlemen in the phaeton, and Mrs. Hall
i,ng between the other two in the gig. They arrived at
irfield at ten o'clock, and the phaeton turned up the
road leadingH to Mr. Brook's residence; at this moment
