The New York herald., 1845-12-07

houses TINS city, IN connection Win several IneI'
chants Of Charleston, contemplate establishing next
spring. line of first class ships, between that
city and New York. These ships are intended TO
be constructed upon the most approved plan OF the
most popular ocean steamers now afioat, with such
notifications and Improvements as experience and
close observation may suggest to the intelligent and
scientific gentemen--her captain and owners
under whose direction they to be built.
The keel Of the first ship has been laid at the yard
OF Mr.. W. II. Brown, foot OF 18th street. We have
seen the model of her, prepared by Mr.. Brown,
and do not hesitate to say, that 1t promises every
thing that can be desired 30 tar regards beauty,
strength and speed, and ample accommodations TOR
passengers She 10 to be eight hundred tons bur-
then, about two hundred feet long deck, thirty
feet beam, and when loaded, viii draw about eleven
feet. The length of her keel will be one hundred
and eighty feet; her bows are sharp, and beautifully
rounded, and her run Is as clean and symmetrcalas
a lady's waist when under high state of pressure.
That she will sail fast, there cannot be doubt
She will be fullrlsged shp-will have two engines
OF four hundred horse power eachs ffty-slx inch
cylinder and ten feet stroke. Her wheels are to
be guarded by the strongest and most compact work
that can be made with hard wood aud iron. Her
depth OF hold will be fourteen feet. She will carry
800 bales of cotton, the bulk OF 5000 barrels. Her
saloon, on the main deck, will be W feet long, and
will contain large number OF elegantly furnished
state rooms, with sixty sing lie and double berths in
them. On the lower deck there will be sixty open
beds and bedding that can be procured She will be
able to accommodate Us passengers comfortably,
aad, in OF a rush, 6O additional cots eau be pre-
pared at short notice Her top gallant torecastle,
gers, the crew, and for other purposes, will be thirty
teet long, and fitted up with good berlhs
Ii 10 intended To make the passage between Charles
ton and New York in 70 hours; steamer leav-
ing each place every Saturday, and making her port
OF destination on the following Tuesday. Bv this
conveyance travellers leaving Charleston on SAtur
day noon, reach Boston on the following We'd
nesday morning, less than tour days, and be able
to transact considerable business In New York be-
fore they take the afternoon steamer for the east
The new steamer, the first OF the line, will COM
eT s uHe ho aed al
sup the saloon. She will cost about $Sl20,0 900,
and be under the command of Capt. Barry, an ex-
perlenced seaman skllfu navigator. and an intel
hgent, 9entlemanly commander; who has been en-
gagged in the New York and Charleston trade some
twenty-five years. There is no comfort or luxury
which may be desired by the passengers that will
not be readily furnished
We have not spoken of her intended em5esh-
meats, which will be OF high order, and In good
degree resemble those OF the saloon OF the splendid
steamer Hendrix Hudson, which runs to Albany, a
most magnificent specimen OF marine architecture,
literally floating palace. The Oregon Is OF the
same class 1t would seem impossible to excel the
beauty and grandeur. and general appointments,
and convenlences, OF that boat.
We do not learn that the owners have yet decl-
ded upon name for the steamer now building.
Why not name her the John c. Calhoun He is
sort OF steam engine in breeches, and the name
would not, therefore, be inappropriate.
