CAPTURE OF AN AMERICAN-BUILTS SLAYER
BY A BRITISH CRUISER

The United Ssrgice Gazette contains the an
nexed account of the capture of an American built
SLAYER. The "Lydia Gibbs" is at present advertised
in the Baltimore and Providence papers as n repu-
lar packet between the two ports, and it remains
for her Rhode Island owners to explain why it is
she is found on the coast:
We are sure there is not a respectable citizen
of the United States who would not feel indignant
were he to know the infamous uses to which the
flag of his free and Independent nation is applied
on the coast of Africa. We have recorded the
capture of the schooner Lydia Gibbs by the Tri-
dent. The circumstances attending the boarding
of that vessel not singular, although it seldom
happens that they terminate so'successfuly. The
Lydia Gibbs is an American-buit vessel, of about
200 TONS of the model of the far famed yacht Amer
lea. She had been for some time at anchor in Why
dab Roads, but having American coors flying there
was difficulty in examining her closely, as her car
go appeared to be undisturbed and no United States
man-ofwar was at hand to ascertain the correct
ness of her papers, Boats of two or three of the
English cruisers had been alongside, but could
find nothing to justify a minute search likely to
lead to detention. The Lydia Gibbs was, however,
on the 10th May, fallen in with off the coast by Com
mander Close, of the Trident and that officer, un-
der moral conviction that the vessel was not en-
gagged in lawful business, sent boat to board her.
The party were received civillv, and, seemingly,
with unconcern; but the examining officer being on
the point of lifting the tarpaulin which covered her
suspiciously-large hatchway, the pseudo American
skipper saw that his game was up. He ordered the
mate to ''tear down the rag" as he was not going
to be captured under those colors which orders
were literally complied with, and at the same time
he threw the papers overheard. The vessel being
then denatonalized the British officer proceeded to
open the matches, when out walked ten Spaniards,
forming the slave crew, who had been concealed be-
low. The Lydia Gibbs WILL in all probability, be
condemned in the Admiralty Court

have seen and walked round the famous
basin, begun in 1886 by Louis Philippe, and now
1S58) finished by Napoleon Ill; and truly it is
great national work. of which Frenchmen may be just
lv proud. In its present dry state it is far more
imposing spectacle than it will be when full of wa
ter; for looking down with giddy head into the i'm
mense excavation formed with infinite palms, pa
thence and Skill by blasting in the solid rock and
now as smooth and symmetrical marble sarcopha-
gus, one realizes the force of the mot of NJ de
TocauevIe, speaking of the works of Cherbourg,
''They are the pyramids of Egypt hewn downward
in the earth instead Of being raised in the air"
/ must here observe, however, that contrary to
an impression which ], in common, doubt not,
with many of your readers, had derived from ex-
aggerated printed accounts, the new basin is not
work differing essentially in character from others
which were completed long ago. 1t has nothing to
do with the safety of the harbor, which insured
in the time of Louis Philippe by the completion of
the wondrous break-water planned by Vauban. 1t
is merely additional dock basin for building, re
pairing and arming vessels of war, precisely sim-
lar in kind to the two already existing, and called
the Aram Port and the Bassin Flot. The third
dock was during its formation known as the Arr'ere
Bassin and it is now to be called the BdsSth Ndpo-
leon ILL., 1t is larger than either of the other two,
but not near so large as both of them put together.
1t is situated further inland, and the water will
ultimately reach it through two entrances, one
leading out of each Of the other docks. But on
August the gates leading from the AUaRt Port
will remain closed and the water will be let in sole
y from the Bassin Ftot, which itself is fed by the
ACdnt Port. ......
When the two former basins were inaugurated
the process of letting in the water was very ted-
ous occupving several hours; but | understand

FAILURE OF THE CINCINNATI GRAPE CRoP.-Within
a radius of twenty-five miles of Cincinnati it is
computed that there are $500 acres of ground de-
voted to the culture of grapes. In favorable sea-
gallons equal to five hundred thousand gallons as
the whole crop for the section described, worth,
fresh from the press, $500 OO0 The failure of the
grape crop is therefore serious loss to the cultiva
tors, and we regret to see, by a communication in
the Cincinnati Gazette, that to the general loss of
the fruit crop of apples peaches, &c, in Ohio this
season, that of the grape is to be added The wri-
ter says:-The crop this year may be designated as
almost an entire failure Some few vineyards will
have something of crop, but in the aggregate all
the wine produced will not pay the expenses of tend

MOVEMENT OF OCEAN STEAMERS
SIDE WHEEL VERSUS SCREW STEAMERS

SIDE WHEEL VERSUS SCREW STEAMERS.
Lieut.. Habersham, of the U. S. steamship Pow
hatan, which arrived at Hong Kong on the 18th of
May, makes the following comparison of the cost of
sailing side wheel and screw steamer from the
United States to China. The Powhatan was ISL
days in making the voyage, which he considers a
fair average passage for side wheel steamer.
During this time the steamer was under way only
97% days, the other 531a days being consumed by
stopping for coal: .....l ..s
ernment during these 97% steaming days for coal
only. | find, by adding together the several
amounts consumed from port to port, a total of
5000 tons, which, at the average net cost of $50
per ton, makes 5000 Now, a screw steamer-of
war, like the Wabash or Minnesota, both of which
vessels are 900 tons larger than this ship, would
accomplish the same passage in about 100 days, 80
or 40 only of which would find her under steam.
Then, as she would burn only about 80 tons day.
the cost of her coal could not exceed S24 600 And
in addition to this, there would be the saving of
time. Common sense, therefore, would seem to
dictate the building of screw instead of side wheel
steamers, and in fact, were we to consult economy
and efficiency we would even now take our side
wheel steamers and convert them into screws. 1t
NAV be asked, is not a side-whee steamer as fast
or faster than a screw p? and why, therefore, does
she not make as quick or quicker time ? The rea-
son is very simple when explained, though. the
question as to their comparative speed is still an
open one. Here is the explanation: We, for in
stance have lost 531 days at our different stopping
places while taking in coal, and there have been
nve OF these stopping places. A screw steamer
would not have touched at more than one port,
mneIe she would probably have lost not more than
9eu w .he weather, OF the laziness of those who
prougnt IL alongside; but then one of these, at
in all cases. ~ ''FI
