Tyr F.LLs CRY, we learn from the Louisville
nopars. in her downward trip encountered the
terrible gale ofSunday night in the ne:ghborhood
of Guyandotte, and came very near losing her
cbimneys. Several guys were broken, and one
chimney WIS raised from its place, but was tortu-
r,tev saved. The boat lay by several hours, and

THE STEAMER Tno3. SwAxX--HER CoMPLETIoN
AND FIRST TRIr.-We nail in the completion OF
this steamer, the evidence that Wheeling as par
~ to the ''UxIox LINE" has nObly fulfilled her
contract and furnished boat fully equal II not
superior to any whch ever traverSed the Ohio NV
er. She now lies at the wharf, and will to-day
depart on her first trip to Louisville The closest
inspection of all her parts has resulted in unan-
nous verdict in her favor. Her model is the per
lection of symmetry, and, as liver men universal
Iy agree, will be a model Of speed. Tie power of
her engines and wheels can only be appreciated
by correct conception ofthe most immense ma
chinery ever placed on vessel. The plan upon
which she is constructed has reference to all the
wants of a travelling community who travel III an
age when improvement: and perfection are the on

and splendor OF her accommodations approach our
highest ideas of Oriental magnifcence. Her spa
cious and gorgeous cabins furnished i'll style
which leavesart but little to supply, and ease and
comfort nothing to wish for. Within her cabins
her guests tread upon Brussers and velvet carpets,
situpon Silken and velvet cushioned chairs, re
cline upon beds of luxurious ease, gaze upon
r'shapeS of beauty etched with gold, or massive
chandeliers revealing the many colored hues of
the rainbow, and promenade along aide extending
avenues where they can scarcely realize that they
are confined TO the deck Of a vessel. With all
these attractions, she possesses many new features
