"The following are 10 be the Dimensions ofth.s,

feet in diameter and "a feet face IL is stated that

The following extracts are from my letter in the
"Unon" of the 9th instant;
These steamers are to be Of the following d.
mensons: length Of keel, $50 feet; breadth OF
beam, 80 feet; depth of hold, "a feet. To be con-
slructed IN the most substantial manner, and in
every way suitable for ready conversion into war

dimensions cylinders, rs inches in diameter; stroke
10 feet; boilers, IL feet shell and IS feet long, with
return hues, capable Of carrying 20 inches steam
across the Atlantic. To have wrought iron shafts
and cranks, 20 inches in diameter with iron water
wheels from IS to 40 feet in diameter, and II feet
face"
Captains: zone, as aforementioned, being
Captain Hewitt, the popular commander Of the
Havre packet-shiP Utica, and the other Captain
Morgan, universally known and esteemed as tho
captain of the splendid London packet-ship Vic
toria."
1t will be perceived that in copying from tho
'Union" it makes two blunders. First, it says
that the paddle wheels arc to be "from IS to 10
feet" instead Of "from IS to 40" Secondly, Il
says the paddle wheels are ito face IA feet" when
their true face is to be only u feet II the wheels
were to face, or the floats were to be IA feet in
length, they would measure nearly one-third tho
entire length Of the ship. The Commercial Adyer-
tiser of the same date, with copy Of the "Union"
before it containing my letter, and marked by
friend for its notice, copies the statement
from the Tribune, errors and all and gives that pa
per the sole credit Of the same. This is a small
business and hardly worth notice.
Seventeen hundred dollars was collected in Grace
church on the day of its conservation for the cree

Johns church, Washington, in a small wooden

ing made assistant minister Of Trinity, on fixed
salary of five thousand dollars per annum, prefer
ring TO yeu.n with his present flock, at seventeen
hundred dollars per annum.
