The Philadelphia Inquirer remarks that the great iron steamer now being built at Bristol, Eng, will no doubt, when completed, be regarded of the most extraordinary mechanical wonders in the world She will carry five masts, and her tonnage will reach the enormous extent of 3600 Her length on deck is 324 feet She will have four engines of 300 horses power each, and she is expected to be completed by the lst of May next. She is designed in the first place, for the Archimdes screw; but should that fail, she is so constructed that paddles may be readily sorted to. Her hull is divided into compartments, so that if one should become injured, the accident would not affect the safety of the vessel Her workman ship throughout is described as of the very highest style of art. She will be filled with water before she is launched, and thus her tighness tested The iron Gall wrougbt) is more than hall an inch thick. She will cost something like $5O0, ,0O0. and is sup posed, will be commanded by Captain Hosken.

THEATRE.-The Mobile theatre is to open on the lst November. Ample preparations now making to fit it up in splendid style, and several material alterations have been adopted to render it convenient than was possible during the short time allotted last year.

 The entire house will be elegantly decorated with gold mouldings on an appropriate ground work, and all noise will be eectualIy shut from the ob- bies and saloons, to the separate enjoy nen of the mere idler and the attentive spectator
 The stock company is not yet fully engaged, but we are assured it will be an excellent one One of the most attractive features of the season will be baLla operas, combining both music and dancing. It is also hnted that Fanny Ellsler herself will pay Us flying visit about Christmas; and what is fully as interesting suppose Ellen Tree will also perform, she is engaged by the manager for the St. Charles New Orleans.
 With all these various improvements and adjuncts, we suspect both the public and manager will find ample qualification during the season.

Peny Dsspotisn.-An order has gone forth from the Superintendent of the United States Armory, at Springfield, Mass. "fol bidding the Anorers to open book paper, or letter oi any kind, or to receive book, paper or letter of any klnd while n the shps, and prohibiting all news carl iers fOm delivering their papers ai the public buildings" It is proper enough for public officers insist upon those who are in the government enpl'y devotng business hours to the business of the go, ernmeni and not to spend it in reading either books or papers, an enjoyment they p,rtake of in the hours of leisure at their homes But to prohibit workmen from renewing letters and papers, and forbidding carriers from delivering them, is such an illibera and yrannical spirit as ought not to he tol. rated. The humbest workman has rights we'll as the Superintendent and if he suffers letters and papers to come to himself at the pubic building, he has right toprohbt them from others. We observe by the Baltimore Sun, that similar order has been issued by the Superintendent at Harpers Ferry. If the facts are as represented both these officers are unfit for their stations.
