There were perfect ovations at Green

where immense crowds had assembled. At
Purtfleet the ship swung round to her sim

On the 9th, the Great Eastern got up

on the preceding day, she was accompanied

give her good Storage way and move her
engines readily, but with no view to test her
power In ten minutes, however, says the
correspondent of the Of the Times, she set at
rest all doubts forever as to her being the
fastest vessel beyond comparison in the
world. Employing less than two-thirds of
her power, in her worst trim, being six
inches down by the head, and too high out
of water to permit her paddles or screw
blades to work properly, and with strong
tide against her, she ran distance of fifteen
statute miles in two minutes under an hour
The engines worked with astonishing ease,
and there was scarcely vibration percepti-

about and went completely round in less than
three-Quarters of mile. At 1890 the YES

the More at o'clock on the morning of
the 9th, and steam away easily for Port
land, DOrsetshire, which harbor she was ex-

parte had the 18th of August, Three miles
of road lined with enthusiastic spectators,
adorned with triumphal arches, banners,
flags, and he so poor as to borrow money
from every purse he the laughing-stock of
BOulogne and StrasbOurg; he so low none
did him reverence he who condescended to
tiatter Emile de Girardin, and to be obse-
quious to ernon--he is the object on which
every eye is fixed for whom all these pre-
parations are made, all this treasure expend-
ed =; he whose name and pageant are to be
borne by telegraphs and steam aud press to
the remotest corners of the earth. Are we
in the land of the East or in the West-in
the land where the cook may be lifted up
from his dshwater to the Viziership in the
twinkling of an eye, if so please the Sultan,
or the dull prosy land of labor and slow
advancement and equality and freedom :?
Recall the ruin wrought before yon man
could be magician OF this weird scene; the
temple of liberty Overthrown; the press
shivered to atoms; Guizot, Berger, Dufaure
de Montalembert, de Lamartine silenced in
the heyday of their elOquence: Changar-
nier's, Cavaignac's, Bedeau's, de Lamori-
ciere's swords shattered Victor Hugo, Eu-
gene Sue and Louis Blanc exied theatres
trampled under foot; public taxation and
public debt doubled; the most solemn
pledges become false as dicers' oaths the
one hundred and sixty thousand dead men
rotting in untimely graves; the one hundred
and sixty families mourning; too many in
ruined homes of the departed, on whose life
hung their prosperity the example set to
the world, in text Illuminated by all splendor
of war, that the most unprincipled man, if
to his immortality he join consummate
acuteness, may succeed in the world, and ride
men as if, indeed, he had been born with a
crown around his head, and they had been
born with humps on their backs to signify
they were predestned for beasts of burden,
and he was predestined to strut and to crow.
The show is splendid one; but the colors
by which it is adorned are the deadliest
poisOns.
