THE Weather.

Yesterday the weather was such as to be
decidedly worthy of mention. The high
winds Of Sunday blew up great clouds, and
during the entire day Old Sol vas secretcd
behind them. Accompanying the misty
veil that oyerspread the heavens, were
great clouds of dust, causing the outer man
Of pedestrians, riders upon wheeled vehicles
and horsemen, to look the character OF
earthly tenements." Struggling down
through clouds of diminitive shavings s,intni-
tessimal particles of "Mother Earth" stray
bits of paper and decayed leaves, came a
few frightened, weak and hurrying rain
drops, and fell only to expire upon the
parched surface Of things terrestrial Men
donneI their heavy coats. pigs and candi-
dates hudlled in little heaps and knots,
stunning the dust and wind. 1t seemed n
if June were blown away, and that bleak
March had come again. Had the appointed
time Of the Comet not passed harmlessly
away, we should have thought he was "rais-
ing the wind by frisking his huge tail
about our ears; but it must have been the
approach of the GLORIOUS Fourth or "Old
Boreas" on his own hook that kicked up
such a breeze. A hanging sign, crying
aloud for oleaginous matter, is swinging in
the blast within our hearing; the detached
notes of brave chaticleer come to our
ears torn from his beak by the driving gale;
"A wintery moan fingers around our roof, and
summer seems gone forever. A politician
stands on the sidewalk opposite our Office,
and as he whittles an awning post, the shaw
ngs fly in the face Of him that is being
"buttonholed," and both pTotestations and
pledges are frisked away ere.they are fairly
uttered. So they go, and so everything
goes in these windy times, and well be

The launch ofthc mammoth steamship here

menced at noon on the Sd November. 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 pur-
chase chains broke, and the work had to be
temporarily suspended. Operations were to
be resumed as soon as the accident could be
rectifed, and London papers of the afternoon
Of the Sd say it was confidently hoped that
the ship would be afoat at high water, on
Wednesday, the 4th. During the operations,
sudden strain on one of the drums caused it
to revolvc with great velocity, throwing sever
al of the men into the air like straws, and
knocking others down with great violence.
Four men had their arms and legs broken, and
one died as he was being conveyed to the hos
pital. Immense numbers of people, including
many distinguished men, assembled on shore
and on the river, to witness the launch.

miles up Long Island coast on Sunday she
rounded Block Island, and returned to Sandy

up to sixteen miles an hour against head wind
Her greatest speed was made from a measured

twenty-one statute miles. She ran this in one
hour and four minutes, starting against tide
She had on at this time, about two-thirds of
her available steam, and was about half laden
This speed is equal to the highest attained
by the steamers Oregon and Vanderbilt, upon
their great trial trips ten years ago. This
speed would take her to Albany in seven
hours. There was no percepible jar in the
