LARGEST STEAMBOAT EVER BUnT-The new
steamer Metropolis was launched yesterday af-
ternoon from the ship yard of Samuel Sneden
at Green Point. 1t was thought that large
number of persons would have been present TO
witness the launch Of this fine steamer, but Ow-
ing to the disagreeable state of the weather
there were not over two hundred on the ground.
About o'clock the order was given, when
the workmen commenced knocking away the
props on each side, and at 8 ] o'clock the steam
er slid from the ways into the water in beauti.
full style.
Just as the Metropolis left the ways the
steamship Baltic, lying on the opposite side of
the stream, fired five guns in honor Of the event.
The Metropolis, as was stated in yesterdays
edition, is the largest steamboat ever built She
is $50 feet in length, % feet beam and ID feet
depth of hold. Her floor timbers are of white
oak 90 inches thick; she has deep, double
frames, sided Understanding her frames Is
by 20 inches-and A inches apart. Besides be.
ing heavily timbered, she is diagonally braced
from kelson up to top timbers, with iron braces
5 inches wide, I inch thick and thirty feet long,
crossing each other transversey, about feet
apart These braces are secured to the frames
with iron bolts, rveted to the timbers. She
has seven nelson's, made of white oak timber,
IA inches wide and feet high The bed
tmbers for her engine are of white oak, a or 5
feet wide and 6 feet high. Over 30 tons of the
best Ulster iron are used in bracing.
The steamer is intended for the Fall River
route, and will run in connection with the Bay
State and Empire State Her engine, which is
to be put in by the Novelty Iron Works, is of
nearly double the power of any steam engine
now in use. The cylinder is los inches dame
ter by IL feet stroke. The Metropolis will
measure about 1900 tons burden. She will
take her place on the Fall River Line about the
LIST of August. N. Y. Tribune.

THE DUEL OF THE COMMUNICABLE Settled.
The city rejoiceth! The beligerent Council
men, Wild and Secly, both appeared in their
seats in the Council Board last evening, uphurt;
improved in pocket by their attempt at notorie-
ty, and subject to manifold sharp hits from all
their friends and enemies, who thought. alike,
that they had made themselves ridiculous. Res
olutions, of course, were offered, but were sub
sequenty withdrawn upon the ground that it
was elevating very ridiculous proceeding into
undue Importance. Some degree of dsappoint-
ment was manifested because the resolutions
were not put to the vote. The belligerents, we
are informed, concerted this plan comfortably
between themselves, passed nearly the whole of
Thursday night in Notification in Hoboken,
and found it convenient, in order to carry on the
fun" to employ the same legal gentlemen to
draw up their 'wills." 1t has been capital
advertisement for the gentemen's wares, and
the end is gained. So farewell to the satire on
Congressional decorum and upon the dignity of
the Council. We wish the parties Joy at the
notorety they have achieved. my. Times.
