dulged that the United States mail steamship At
lantic's machinery could be efectually repaired at
day morning week Mr.. Lechy, Of the. firm of
Lecky and Beale, visited the steamer, and at once
expressed an opinion that the damages received
could be repaired at their establishments but, subse-
quently, il was discovered that, although two inn
portant castings, weighing 20 tons, could be re-
placed, the NEST essential constituent, the interme-
diate shaft, weighing IL tons, formed Of nu.
merous pieces welded together, in order to attain
the requisite strength and durability, could not be
manufactured. We understand, therefore, that two
steam tugs, probably the Dreadnought and Tartar,
will tomorrow be despatched from this port to
Queenstown, in order TO tew the Atlantic to the
Mersey and ii we are correctly informed, the
ship on arrival will be moored in the wellington
dock for the purpose Of repair. Messrs. Wilson
have undertaken to perform the carpentry but the
machinery, as on a former occasion, will be de-
spaiched to the works Of Messrs. Hamilton " Co,

SAILING OF THE CAMBRIA FROM CORK.
From the Cork Examiner.
This vessel left Cork harbor yesterday, (Tues-
day. morning, the 4th inst, at ten o'clock. she
appeared very low in the water, owing to the
weight of the cargo which had been unshipped
from the Atlantic, which is immensely, larger than
the Cambria. She sailed with northeast wind,
which continued for SIX hours after her departure.
We understand that her charter for conveyance OF
the cargo was C., 000 that OF the Atlantic having

Yesterday was busy day a. the Crystal Palace.
The executive committee received in the course OF
the forenoon, no less than four bushels Of letters.
For some time past their correspondence has been
accommodating Wi h fearful rapidity, but the Post
office delivery of yesterday is the largest they have
yet had Ii was caused by intending exhibitors
sending IN, as required, specifications OF what they
defended TO show for the catalogue. The day was
also busy one for the contractors, who are push
ing on their work as to have the building ready
for the reception of articles, and for the ALLEGATION
of spaces, W hich must now take place Immediately.
1t was also busy day with the public, who are
crowdlng in great numbers to the interior OF
