STEAMSHIP SoUTHERNER.-This beautiful sea
steamer, built under the superintendent of Capt.
Berry, her commander, by Mr.. w. II. Brown,
the famous steamboat builder, is now upon the
dry dock receiving her copper, and will be ready
in a few days to make her trial trip.
The Southerner is in every particular a sea YES
sci, calculated to perform the most difficult voy-
age, with as much safety and comfort to passen-
gers, as any other ship afloat. She is provided
with the English marine engine, and all the requi-
sites OF thorough going steamer. Her rig is
that of a three-masted topsail schooner-carrying
on the foremost, main sail, topsail, and topgaI-
lant-sail-the masts, yards, and bowsprit, are
painted black--the hull also blacksmith imita-
ton of port holes.
Altogether she presents a neat and raksh a n.
