The steamship Vanderbilt made her first trial trip
on Saturday last She left the pier the foot Of Jack

construction There Is it understood TO be another

Liverpool nine days. The cost Of her construction
probably between and hundred thousand dollars.

as over head beam engines large portion Of her ma
chinery is visible above deck and therein consists the
difference between her and nearly all other sea steamers
Whatever may be its advantages in other respects, it
certainly does not add to the outward appearance of the
vessel. The cylinders have each diameter of ninety
inches and twelve feet stroke while the diameter Of the
wheels Is fortyon feet. load draft Is estimated at
nineteen feet inches. The timber used in her
structon IS the best of oak, locust and pine and the
huge ribs and tmbers which form the hull are bound
together by $50 diagonal straps of ron each forty feet
long, five inches wde and eighths OF an inch in
diameter The whole weighing ninety-six tons. There
are three decks, each Of which extend from stem to
stern, and sixteen water-tigh compartments.
The amount of fuel which it is calculated will be con-
W
sufficient capacity for fourteen hundred TONS
Her maximum speed, we are told is eighteen miles
hour and she is expected TO about four hundred
miles per day. K she realizes the expectations that have
been formed o. her. she will accomplish the passage be-
tween New York and Liverpool in little over eight days.

A Noral Law Suit.

We understand M'Carty Of the Bardstown
Gazette is about to bring suit against the
Louisville and Frankfort railroad for damages
done to dog The facts Of the case, as far
as we have learned them from mutual friend,
are about these:
Whilst Mac was here in attendance upon
the Democratic Convention, he purchased a
fine dog, (of what breed is not known for
the purpose of guarding his printing office
against intruders upon his valuable time, &C..
&c. When he started home, instead Of taking
his dog into the baggage car, as is usual with
sportsrnen, Mac preferred the primitive style
Of tying him behind the train, having frequent
lily seen canine specimens attachedin this way
to wagons On he started-away went the
cars, and away went the dog. Mac, thinking
it was all right, did not look after the welfare
| of his pet until they reached Bagdads wher
llol and behold, there was nothing left of his
dog but one ear and the under JaaC-bolae.
We understand further that Mac purchased
! the dog for 81, on credit as a matter 0
Ecourse, and that, as it was intended for g spec
Iulation, he has laid his damages at four dollar
and quarter.--[[K Ky. Ye0man
