Attempt to Launch the Great Eastern


The launch of the mammoth steam
ship heretofore known as the " Great
Eastern" but now formally christened
"Leviathan," was commenced at noon
on the Sd inst. The usual means were
taken to move the vessel, but for some
time without avail
After about three hours labor, the ship
had moved about six feet by the stern,
and little over four feet by the bow,
when one of the powerful chains broke,
and the work had to be temporarily sus-
pended.
Operations were to commence as soon
as the accident could be rectifed, and
London papers of the afternoon of the I'd
say it was confidently hoped that the
ship would be afoat at high water on
Wednesday the 4th.
During the operation a sudden strain
on one of the drumbs caused it 10 revolve
with great velocity, throwing several of
the men into the air like straws, and
knocking down others with great vio-
lence.
-Four men had their arms and legs bro
ken, and one died as he was being CON
veyed to the hospital Immense num-
bers of people, including many distin-
guished men, assembled on shore and on
the river to witness the launch.

~ The effects of the storm accomnanvin.

" The effects of the storm accompanying
the advent of winter, have been very disastrous
upon the lakes. We have accounts of several
wrecks and disasters in another part of our pa
per.
The schooner HeligOland Capt Alderman, ar
rived off this port ON Thursday last, loaded with
wood, but owing to the wind off land she could
not come IN. She dropped anchor and lay until
Friday, when she attempted to run in but failed
running on the piles of the old pier, breaking her
jib and starting her bowspirit. She succeeded
in getting off without furthur injury, and again
anchored, and lay until Saturday, when she ran
in.
The propeller Pinsburg, sought shelter in our
harbor on Saturday evening, and left for Mil
waukee Sunday morning.
The brig SarastOpOl, Capt. Blodget, of this
port is missing and it is feared she is lost. She
left Green Bay last week, for this place, and has
not been heard from since
The schooner Col. Glorsr, Capt Kahler, also
of this port is supposed to have beenlo There
is rumor that she has gone ashore near New
Buffalo, but it needs corroboration.
p S. Since writing the above, we learn that
Mr. j. P. Glover has received definite informa-
ton of the Col Glorer's situation, by letter from
Capt. Kahler She is ashore 10 miles this side
of New Buffalo, but will probably be got off with
little damage, and return to this port soon.

A good via il to = man, wisdom and

confusion, weakness, discontinue and

renews its strength again and goes forth
