FIVE eighths Of steam the Arctic made eight and
half revolutions. On coming up the bay, on her
return she made twelve and three-quarter Tevolu-
tons with Twelve pounds OF steam, shut OH close,
and distanced, with comparative ease, the Staten
Island ferry boat Sylph. On the whole, il was
most satisfactory trial trip 10 every point of view
both as regards the sailing qualities of the Arctic
and the machinery-and all on board were per-
feclly saIishtd with the performance of both.
We have stated that 1t is intended to work the
boilers ct the Arctic at the rate OF fifteen pounds
pressure 10 The square inch This may seem high,
when there is an impre ssion abroad that BRUSH
vessels are restricted 10 seven This, however, ID
wrong The British vessels are worked as high
ss any Others, and if any such restriction has been
made by act OF Parliament, the law is de al letter
We are informed, by distinguished American en-
gnetr, that on one occasion he saw the
boilers OF the British steamship Express worked
Al pressure Of seventeen pounds TO the inch. He
went III her on her uial trip, and observing
that the wheels Tevolved with great rapldity, he
inquired Of The engineer how much steam he was
using. The reply Was from seven to nine pounds
lie was amazed, and the engineer engaging IN con-
versaton with some pre- sent, he availed himse
ut the opportunity and proceeded TO the hre- room
10 examine tor himself On board British vessels
The steam euase is not exposed as II IS In
AmencaD, but is rather concealed. The con-
sequence was that, vt first, he could not
discover it. After searching for WHILE he found
il aud 10 and behold, instead of the boilers beng
worked at 4 pressure Ut from seven to nine pounds
he saw that there was head ef steam on of Sc
veDiern pounds. The American engineer, TO whom
We refer, is a highly honorable man, and inca
pable OF stating anything untrue.
The Arcric has TWO side lever marine engines
The diameter of the cylinder 10 nlnetytive inches
and he depth OF stroke ane feet. She burns an
thracIte coal, aud will consume, on her zip TO
Liverpool, about sxty-tve tons every day. Her
officers and crew will number one hundred and
twenty.RiGe, viz one captain, four officers, one
purser, one surgeon, ten engineers and assistant
engineers, twenty-four fremen, twenty-four coal
beavers, thIy-six men in the sailing department,
and thirty. light IN the stewards department She
viii leave New York on Saturday next for Liver
pool; and We would not he al ali surprised TO hear
or her astonishing the public.
We have omitted TO mention, in the proper
place, that The Arctic conducts herself very hand
som. ~ in a heavy She rolls and pitches very
gradually, ana uniformly She does not, like other
vessels, hump, rise and fall suddenly The Te-
the case, and, in this respect, she pleased,
in high degree, the packet captains on board and
all the passengers.
She Will be commanded by Captain Luce, whose
repuia non as a gentleman and navigator, are
well known TO The travelling community, for he
was, for many years, connected with the Liver
pool line of packet ships.

they could not say another word, whatever they
might think. The thinking, however. has gone
on ever since, and ii 10 likely, very soon, to fad
expression in words that burn.
Some of the boys have got a notion into thsir
heads, that Greeley, who is going to run for Con-
gress or the Mayeralty, wants to use the Irish
In obtaining the nomination and election. Now, We
would give old Sievegammon friendly h,nt, aud
If he has any "nous" in his percranium, he will
take it. Let him fork openly and above
board, the twenty-five thousand dollars, aad thus
buy the Irish with their own money. THIS would
create for him furors of popularity.
