The Largest Ship I'm the World.

The ways for laying down an immense screw
and paddle steamer for the Eastern Steam
Navigation Co. are in the course of completion at
the yard of Messrs Scott and RUSSELL the cx-
tcnsive ship-buildcrs at MiIwall, where some
hundreds of piles have been driven in order to
support the huge fabric Many hundreds of
tons of iron for her keel are ready to be put
together, and the contracts have been signed
for the completion and launching of the ship
within two years from the present time The
following are few particulars Of her dimensions:
Extreme length Oh main deck, 700 feet being
43o feet longer than the great Himalaya steam
er: extreme length of keel, $50 feet; extreme
breadth of beam, So feet; depth of hold, (form-
ing four decks,) So feet length of principal
saloon, so feet; height of ditto, 15 feet; ton
mage, 10000 tons, or builders measurement
$4,000 tons; stowaye for Goals 10000 tons
stowage for cargo 5000; 500 first class cabi,s,
with ample space for second and third class
passengers, besides troops, &c. while her screw
and paddle engines will be of the aggregate
nominal power of $500 horse. She will also
carry an immense quantity of sail. The l,rinci-
pie O. her construction, designed by Mr.
BRUNEI, Will be precisely similar to the tube
OF the Brltanna-brid@e.- bottom, decks,
and sides are to be double and of cellar form,
with two feet SIX inches between. She will have
no fewer than fourteen water-tight conpart-
mcnts, also two divisional bulk-heads running
her whole length; the great length OF the SNIP
1t is contcnded, according to all present eA-
perencc, will enable her to pass through the
water at a greater velocity, with smaller
power in proportion to her tonnage, than oroli-
ary vessels now require to make ten Knots per
hour and that s,,ced is in fact another result OF
great size, her immense proportions admitting
her CARRYING sufficient fuel on board TO accom-
plish voyage round the world

Mr. Lawrence moved certain resolutions yesterday (says

the Missouri Compromise and which promptly tabled
by the democrats Of that body There is no doubt the
legislature in favor OF sustaining the Douglas bill

democratic members and sent to Washington.
The democratic administration whether In their foreign
relations ably administered by Secretary Marcy or in
their territorial policy enunciaed in the Nebraska b
in their economical policy as developed by Secretary
Guthrie in the general democratic tenor Of all their
official acts thus far developed has received well by
resolution otherwise the combined appreciation Of the

following well-merited compliment to Mr.. Macdonald:
q Hon. Moses MAcDoNALD-The representative Of the
first congressional district in Maine this time unparg

speech in favor of the sovereignty Of the people in the States

tons unenabe and his arguments unound but he is
sailed with words of reproach bitter nvecve, and low
abuse for defending the principles Of popular sovereignty and
fashioned democracy against the assaults and camor Of
faction As specimen Of the abuse and scurry Of which
he the harmless recipient witness the following from the
Portland Inquirer, edited by Rev Austin Wiley: He lies.
He knows he lies Everybody knows he lies And the cer

Now Mr.. Macdonald has made dgnfed able, and sound
speech for which he has been justly compmened by

principles he has boldly proclaimed and ably defended will
endure long the people Of this country their
eregnty and enjoy the right of sefgovernment They will
last long the constitution and the Union They
principles which deeply planted in the breast of
hearted democrat and patriot is truly refreshing

days Of Jackson when democrats animated by the spirit
