THE LENIATHAN Is COMINGl

We had an interview yesterday with gentleman
who came passenger in the Indian, at this port
and were happy to hear him contradict most en-
phatically the report published in our paper of
Tuesday, to the effect that the work on the Leva-
than had about stopped,-th but few men were at
work upon her,-that there is no machinery in her
yet, &c.
The gentleman informs that, just before he left
England, he visited the monster steamship. That
there are l,750 men hard at work upon her,-that
her machinery is already in, and everything is being
driven as fast man can do it. The desire on the
part of the overseers to prevent all impediments to
the work going as rapidly as possible, is so great
that 'passes to go on board of her are refused to
visters, lest they should incommode the workmen;
by personal acquaintance with Cant Harrison
who kindly took him over the ship. He speaks of
the state-rooms, and other arrangements for pas
sengers, in the highest terms. She is being fitted
up IN tne most costly and desirable manner. Capt.
