The GREAT lRoS STEAMER.-The great iron
steamer which is being built for the Eastern
Steam Navigation Company Of London is $50
feet long, or more than twice AS long as aay
steamer that we have. Her breadth is 80
feet, and her depth So feet. This ship is in
tended forsth long voyage to Australia, and
the object in building her 50 large is that she
maycafry coal sufficient to make the voyar :
without stopping, and to avoid the d lay and
the cost of taking in cnal at y foreign sta
ton. Goals on the Indian and Australian
routes cost four and five times as much as in
England. The consumption on asvoyage Of
that distance amounts to from four to six
thousand tons. This steamer will not only
carry this amount of coal, but five thousand
tons of measured merchandise and capacity
to accommodate FIVE hundred cabin passen-
gers and ample space for troops and lower
class passengers TO the amount Of $500 more
tain a speed Of fifteen knots an hour, AMI the
be reduced to 33 or &c days. The whole of
the ships bottom will be double and of a
cellular construction, SO that an external in
jury will not effect her safety. Her body. in
fact, will consist Of two conccntric bulls,
one within the other, with two feet, Of space
between, the space to be divided by parti-
tons into cells five feet wide extending from
above the load line down to the keelson.-
The work is under tho engineering superin-
tendence of Mr.. j. X. Brunei. The vessel
is being built parallel to the river, hcrlcngth
being SO great rs to prevent her being launch
I'd in any other than side way. Her ma
chinery is all to be duplicated SO that in the
event Of accident to one set, of machinery.
the vessel vii, lave aaothcr set to drive her.
She will have screw or paddle engines with
\ power of 1000 horses. Her whole tonnage
amounts to $4,000 burthen. Whether she
will succeed commercially or not is a prob
!cm yet to be solved. The experiment ex-
cites great deal of interest in England.
