TRIP or THE ERIcssoS TO SgA.-ln a report Of a
former trial trip OF the steamship Ericsson we stated
that from her engines fair average rate Of speed was
obtained with comparatively trivial outlay of fuel
Tie statement not being generally credited as the
proprietois of the Ericsson desired they determined
TO set all doubts Of the fact at rest by running her to
sea under the management of dsintercsed engineers
OF the highest repute for ability and integrity. Ac
cordngly last Monday morning the Ericsson put to
sea with select party, composed of scientific men
and representative Of the public press board, and
retured about T. NJ yesterday. The trip was all
that could be desired-with pleasant weather, g
saunch steamer, and host elIable and hospitable
as need be, with select company, ii was his own
fault if any one did not feel satisfied with the aunt.
The object Of the trip was accomplished and the
fact tina; the engines Of the Ericsson require hardly
more than one-ourth of the usual quantity of fuel to
propel them, established beyond question. On the
former tip the fires were superntended by Mr. Mars,
Engineer Of the Aragoi that gentleman testified to
CONSUMPTION of tun Of coal an hour.
On this occasion the experiment was conducted by
Mr.. Charles H. Haswe and two competent assistants.
Mr.. Haswell reports that the consumption Of coal for
twenty -four hours at sea- 20 sl5-l00Oth tuns OF
e.s4o lbs. or about seven-eighths Of tun hour.
The fuel used was anthracite and bitumnors, alter
mated. The average pressure Of steam was p lbs,
yecuum o. inches, with l3i revolutions a minute.
The Ericsson drew Il feet of water and carried fa fuel
for an Atlantic vcyege. She steamed to sea in a
south-eesery direction for five or six hours and back
keeping Gear Of the Gulf Stream, and during the
whole time the engines were not once stopped. The
average speed for the tip was l2l miles an hour
Mr. Haswel considers the result the most wonderful
ever obtained from any marine engine. This steamer
will sail for HAVE direct on the 10th OF june
For EuRoPr.-The United States mail steamship
Baltic will sail from this port a. o'clock to-day FOR
Liverpool.
