The American Steamers. We learn
from the New York Commercial that con-
tracts for tuilding two of the foar proposed
American steamships have been signed,
The models are completed, and the timber
procured. The builders are Messrs. Smh.
Demon and Comstock, we'll known as ex-
cellenI naval architects. The ships are
to be $500 tons each, aud three hundred
feet long Each is 10 have two engines Of
four hundred horse powcr--equyalen to
lO40 horse power, according TO English
computation. The two are to be finished
in eighteen months, and as soon as they
are completed, the kecls OF the other two
are to be laid. They arc to make the pas
sage from New York TO England in ten
days age-that is, the time allowed for
the passage, under The ordinary circum-
stances, is to be ten days, while if favored
by wind and weather, the ships are cx-
pected TO make the run in nine, or less per-
haps; Of course when the circumstances are
unprepituous the run may be protractod 10
twelve or thirteen days.
The negotiations with the Government
of the United States, for carrying the mail
are not yet concluded. 1t is not unlikely
that favorable arrangement will be made
to this effect.

EXTRA SESSION. eserday was the day fixed for
the assembling Of The Extra Session Of Congress-
We hope 10 be able TO publish the message Of Presi-
dent Tyler two weeks from to-days' publications.
Many of the leading political papers, are engaged in
canvassing the merits of different candidates for
speaker 10 the House Of Representatives. We have
noticed the names oftwelye candidates, which have
been proposed by the Wings in different portions of
the Union. variety OF names have been suggested
by the democrats The election of Speakers regar-
ded with considerable interest as it will most likely
prove fair test of the strength Of parties in the new
House of Representatives The message OFF resident
Tyler is not looked for with any unusual degree or
anxiety because ii is generally anticipated that the
President, will not specifically recommend any par
ticular measure 10 the currency, national finances,
other matters Of grea, political interest; but leave
Congress 10 originate such measures as they may
think proper 1t is probable that many, if not all of
the prominent questions, which have aglta'ed the
two great political parties of the nation during num-
Der of years past, will be brought up at the extra
session, and business of intense importance to the
country will doubtless be acted upon

4 Yankee Admiral.- We see by the
Concord Patriot, tina, a New Hampshire
boy by the name of Thomas F. Williams,
con Of former clergyman in the town Of
Meredith, has become an Admiral, Count
Xnzechon, in the Russian Navy. 1t
seems that he was in early youth clerk
in n store at Meredith Bridge, being natu-
rally OF generous, bold and ardent tenn
poramcnt, no sooner had he served out
his time, than he went to visit a relative in
Portland for the purpose of seoclng ship
and, if possible of obtaining employment
in ono. He at length succeeded; after
one or two vayages he was taken danger
ousv i'll at ST. Pctersburgh, and upon his
recovery, through the aid Of the American
Consul, obtained a berth on board OF a
Russian merchant vessel, as privileged
seaman After prosperous voyage on
their return home the vessel was attacked
by a piratical corsar; owing to the brave
ry and skill of Williams the pirates were
beaten off and the vessel arrived at her dcs-
tined port in safety. The emperor Alex
ander hearing Of this brilliant exploit, was
so much pleased with the bravery and good
conduct of Williams, as 20 send for him
to visit his palace, the result Of the inter
view was his appointment rs senior Mid
shipman in the Russian Navy. From this
he has risen 10 his present rank. He has
been married for some years TO beautiful
and accomplished Russian lady.

most sanguine expectations; have grown

branches from one foot, to eighteen inches
