NEW sTENERs LONGER Than the LEyIATHAN.
While public attention has been al rscted 80 strongly
by the upusus dimen OF the Isviethsn tnat the
name Of that vessel in everyb1dys mouth, II hap
peIs slugularly enough that two vessels Of Create
length, End Of C. more remarkable character, hsvs
been advancing TO completion in Liverpool WITHOUT
the general public being cegniZens 81 their eXN-
fence Those vessels are each 200 feet long. Iney
have been Constructed by Ne-srs. N.rron u Son for
the Oriental Inland S;esm Company, ard ere intended
fer the No, igston Of - IUJSn rivers. Tie purpose
Of their peculiar feature Of construction IS 20 enable
large cargo to be carried at good rate Ct speed upon
a light draught of water. Tie greet rivers OF lnda
though penetrating lar Into The interior, an though
containing large volumes Of water are, nevertheless
shallow dur ng the dry season. Tue vessels n4vga-
ing them must, therefore, float very hsot and yet
tie must have displacement enough ~ carry So0d
cargo They must have strength enough not TO suder
injury if they should get aground end they must pre-
sent such little resistance 10 the water rs 10 be able
to achieve satisfactory rate OF progress against the
stream. All tneee lLulcdliOn5 hDutGoiy lulih7u

The LEyIATHAN.
BY the steamship Asia, we yesterday received from
Sir Cusack F. RoGey the following note, covering u
PROSPECTUS ffom tne Directors of the Eastern Stesm
Navigation Company:

T. the Editor Of The Argus
The ctus is too long for to copy entire into
our columns After mature deberatiOn, the Directors
nave arrived at the conclusion that the most speedy
az profitable return c1n be obtained by placing the
vessel on the line between E0glsnd end the United
Statee.
TIE rcssora fox tsi, decision are given at length
They compre the route, speed fares, railway ta3l-
ties facilities for tourists, the facilities of Portland in
her harbor and railways and the facilities for deliver
ing cargooR, landed here, at Boston, New'iork, the
Csnadas &c. by means of railway communication,
free from a1y charge OF lighieriDg or Wharfage.
An estimate is made OF the elTnlngs and expendi-
lures Of the ship for one year, allowing her to make
only seren voysgss per dRRum. The estlInsted re-
cep.s are 1909 coo, and the estmsted expenditures
4 lS5 O5O-esvng balance OF .,l23,65O or tl' 200
per voyage net profit
After carefully considering the foregoing facts end
estu,ates the Directors determined to raise the sum
of f29O CO., to equip the ship for sea, by issue Of
II 600 annuities to Subscribers Of $50 each.
By letter from Sir John Yates, esq. Secretary OF
the Eastern Steam Navigation Company, 10 the
Msyor of our city, we learn that the steamship will
be fitted up and got ready to make her first trap esrly
rext season. Portland Argus, l2th
