A MONSTER VESSEL.

The Magazine of Science publishes the following description of gigantic vessel, ! consisting of three iron boats joined together, and intended to compete with the trans-atlan- tic boats
 Lieut.. Morrison has just published, at Liv- erpool, the plan of an immense packet boat which he has invented, and to which he has given the name of ''Leviathan.'7 This pack ct boat is of the capacity of 32, ,490 tons. will be put in motion by three archimedian screws of 800 horse power each.
 The deck of the Leviathan will be 1S2 yards (metres) long, and 8 wide There will be below the deck 1000 private cab ins; the public saloon will be square, mea- suring B yards on each side, and between the ceiling and floor. This vessel will be able to accommodate 5,650 persons, includ- ing the crew.
 The plan of construction amounts to B. l 758,000 fr.; the equipment and furniture to l,250,000; total, 5,000,000 fr It Is esti- mated that five voyages to America, going and coming, will yield an income of 5000,- GOO fr; of which, after the deduction of l,950,000 fr., for expenses, there will remain 3,250,000 fr as the annual profit of the pro- pntors.
 There will be around the deck a track of 800 yards ill length, for the purpose of ena- bling the passengers to take a ride in vehi- cle or on horseback There will also be on the Leviathan flower and kitchen garden, hot house, &e., occupying space of 225 yards. The passage in the best cabins, in cluding the fare, will not exceed 400fr The immense floating machine will have nothing to fear from the violence of the waves, being by its own weight secure against the dangers of the sea.
 Tine Leviathan, already propelled by this machinery of 2,800 horse power, will have the additional assistance of sails, carrying 2,675 square yards of canvass-the calcula- tion is that it will run 10000 yards (20 kilometres) an houi, and accomplish the trip from Liverpool to Boston in ten days.
 To kill time, this monster vessel will have theatre, capable of accommodating 1000 people, and will carry with it troup of CO., medians. There will also be on board an amphitheatre, wherein the sciences will be taught, and new experiments tried. There will finally be a bazaar on board, and news paper printed daily.

DEATH OF GENERAL BERTRAND.

"Death," says the .noaiteur, .sdecimates
 with relentless rigor, the remains of the he roic generation of the empire. The tomb of
 Marshal Drouet D'Erlon is scarcely closed, when the country has to deplore a still
 more mournful loss. The faithful friend of the emperor, the companion of his labors and long exile. General Bertrand, died on the 3lst ut. at Chateauroux, his native town. Bertrand, serving as a national guard, on the
 10th of August, l773, joined battalion vol untarily marching to the Tuleries to protect the king. He shortly afterwards entered the corps of engineers, rapidly rose to eminence, accompanied the expedition to Egypt, where he fortified several places, deserved the con- fidence of the eGeneral-in-chief, Bonaparte, and received almost at the same time the brevefs of lieutenant-colonel, colonel, and general of brigade Alier the battle of Austerlitz, where General Bertrand covered himself with glory. Napoleon took him as ORC of his aides-de- camp. He equally distinguished himself at Spandau, at Friedland, but particularly at the construction oi the bridges on the Danube,

THE CAUSE OF THE SUN AND MOON
 STANDING STILL.

Last evening, the first of series of lec- lures on the cause which produced the mira cle of the sun and moon standing still, and also of the sun moving backwards on the snn-dial ot Ahaz, as recorded ill the Holy Scriptures, to be demonstrated astronomically and experimentally, and illustrated by dia- grams and apparatus-was delivered by Mr. Linton at the Royal Academy Rooms, Great George street. The lecturer commencetfby stating that the phenomena he was about to illustrate were recorded in the 10th chapter oi Joshua, and l2th verse, the 20th chapter ot Second Kings and 10th verse, and the 30th chapter of Isaiah and 8th verse; and that If he could make it appear that the mira cle ln the case of Joshua had been produced without at all interfering with tl,e fixed laws oi nature, but, on the contrary, with the pre- sent acknowledged solar system, the cavils of the seeptic and the infdel would be silenced, and Gods unlimited power magniiied.

TIE GREAT WEsT.-The following ex- tracts from the speech of the Hon. J. J. Har- din, of Illinios, show at glance the impor- tance as well as the resources of the Great West. We have no where seen, says the Cincinnati Gazette, more comprehensive statement of facts on the subject of which he treats, than those compiled by him; and as a matter for future reference they are of great value for their authenticity and correctness: In 1840 the population of the Western
 States was 6,376,972 In l840 the population of the Atlantic
 States was 10,686,3Sl The area of the Western States, in
 square miles is 839,93O The area of the Atlantic States, in
 square miles, is 449,65O
 The increase of the Atlantic States from 1850 to l840 was at the rate of l6 per cent
 The increase of the Western States during the same period was at the rate of 73 per cent
 The increase of the Atlantic States from 1910 to 1840 was as 100 to 1734
 The increase of the Western States from 1910 to 1S40 was as 100 to 591.4.
 It will be thus found that whilst the Allan tic States have not doubled in thirty years, the Western States have, in the same time, augmented nearly six fold.
 In some of the new States the increase far exceeded the general average; for instances, the decennial increase of Mississippi was l75 per cent, of Missouri l73 per cent, of Illinois POP per cent, and of Michigan 555 per cent.
 In 1850 the population of the Atlantic and Western States will be very nearly equal, ii they progress ill population in the same ra- to that they have done for the last ten or twenty years, and at every succeeding census the relative strength of the west will increase on the Atlantic States.

destined to facilitate the passage of the French army advancing on Wagram. That cam- paign, and the campaign of Russia, placed his talent and courage in so conspicuous a light, that the emperor named him Grand Marshal of the Palace, after the death of Marshal Duroc. His achievements were as glorious at Lutzen, Beuten, and Leipsic; and, if he sustained check at the passage of the Elbe against Butcher, 1t must be ascrlbed to the fortune of our arms. which was begin ming to waver. It was Bertrand, however, who protected our retreat after the bloody battle of Leipsic, by seizing on Weissenfeld, and the bridge of the Saalh. His services were not less important after the battle of Hanau On those tive occasions, and in cir cumstances which followed the departure of the emperor for Paris, Count Bertrand dis played the greatest activity in saving the rem nants of the army, and generally saw his plans and efforts crowned with all the suc- cess which 1t was possible to expect amidst so many disastrous events. On his return to Paris, in 1874, General Bertrand was appoint ed deputy major-general of the national guard; fought throughout the campaign of France, so astonishing by it's successes and reverses and followed Napoleon to the Island of Elba. Having returned with the emperor on the 20th of March, he served him with his wonted devotedness. Subsequently to the fatal day of Waterloo, he never quit ted him: he accompanied him in his last ex- ile, shared and soothed his misfortunes, and only returned to France when he had receiv- ed his last breath
