| The packet ship St. Andrew from Liverpool was
telegraphed as below yesterday. Her day Of sailing
was the eth of May.
We extract the following interesting items from
our English files, being somewhat later than those
published yesterday.
| Sir Francis Head dined with the Duke Of Yelling
ton, large party given by his Grace on the 6lh.
He was highly complimented by the Tories fer the
course he pursued towards the disafected rewdes on
the border.
First in order of the extracts we must give place
to the following interesting and important article re-
latve 10 the new Atlantic Quicksilver Steam Ship
the Columbus.
THE NEW QUICKSILVER STEAM Subtitle splen
did new (Colambus,) destined shortly to cress
the Atlantic, which has created mach interest from
the novel construction of the machinery, made after Mr.
Howards invention for the rapid Improvisation Of water
iron plates heated quicksilver, this afternoon
"wednesday took trial trip down the Mersey, with
party board. In her construction she has the ap-
pearance of an elegant made brig. She has china
neys, both very low, and, from the peculiar coal the
anthracite consumed by her, smoke is emitted. She
is $50 builder smeasurement being 81 l2 footbeam,
and las feet keel with l3 IL feet depth of hold She
has 10 horse power, two 55feet engines the cylinder
being 40 IL inches diameter and IL feet stroke and
wheel IL l.2 feet diameter. Her speed through the
10 statute miles per hour the immersed section
at her present load is $50 square feet She has
board 90 days fne besides 80 tons of iron ballast The
novelty ofthe engines MR. Howards paent consists in
method of producing the steam and of condens-
ing it, the latter part of the invention being applicable
10 the ordinary boilers. In boiler the heat from
the fuel is passed very extensive surfaces, in
contact with which is large body Of water, the
temperature of which is always such is due the
density pressure of the steam and. consequently,
the evaporation is limited by such circumstances.
In the invention the steam is formed by bringing a
small quantity Of previously made beling hot
in contact with comparatively small surface, heated
and maintained the temperature Of the most rapid
vapourzaton, viz. about 400 degrees, effect which
quantity Of mercury or amalgum lies between iron
plates, the the fire being plain surface Of only
three quarters of foot per horse power and the other
vaPorising surface, being about fsur times much
The steam obtains density pressure due
the temperature, bat is itself heated about four
hundred degrees, and worked in about 10 pounds
TO the inch and cut off from the cylinder half the
stroke. The fuel made use of is coke stone coal,
other fuel giving strong local heat and little
fame. That employed on this occasion was Kilkenny
coal The consumption of fuel is three per day
of "a hours, and the fire CRATES have total bar
face of only % feet, the ar being supplied by small
blowing machine, under easy regulation. The iron
plates exposed the fire perfectly secured from
any bad effect from the somewhat intense heat by the
close of the mercury within them, and which
absorbs and gives eat the heat with the rapidy
The combined effect of the reduction in the censump-
ton Of fuel and in the weight and size of the vapouri
compared with Boilers is such that steam vessel
Of any ordinary tonnage and power will be enabled
her loaded immersion to make voyage Of FIVE times
the length now practicable Tha steamer made de-
lghtful trip round the light ship. Her speed is not
great, but very good taking consideration the pow
er Of her engines compared with her tonnage. Her
paddle wheels also improved principle, being
constructed after Mordans patent the paddles turning
on an eccentric centre with the Wheel and always tsrn
ing perpendicularly exposing perfectly perpendicular
surface the BY this means the beating Of the
paddles the water is avoided; and the consequent
lifting and vibration of the vessel done away with the
paddles always descending into and rising of the
water perpendicularly. On Friday the vessel made
experimental trip to Dublin and II l.2 hours
her passage having strong head wind part Of the way
She returned on Sunday in Is l-2 hours AT Hoyhead
she fell in with the Mermaid from Waterford
and slightly gained upon her. The fires require not
half the labor to keep them up OF the ordinary
