The New York Times contains U very thorough
scientific description Of the trial trip Of the Great
Eastern, from special correspondent whom the
Times describes as an American engineer, who has
taken q professional interest in the matter. The
general conclusion the writer seems to have at
TIMED Isl that while the expectation Of the public
unduly wrought up BY incompetent authorities, are
disapp ointad, those Of the projectors are album
dainty verified; thus while the vessel cannot be
enthusiastically employed for q mere transatlantic
service; It's perfectly adapted to the long Aus
halial oyage f0r which il was designed. It can
not attain speed Of thirty miles an hour, but it
can accomplish q rate of fifteen. 1t cannot make
q trip frsmi liverpool to New York in five days,
but slse might possibly In ten. It does not wholly

but It does pitch and roll slightly as to cause
little serious distress to the passenger. Other
points Of interest are developed BY the trial. The
security " the vessel i imperfect the bulk-heads
are neither fire tight nor water tight. Important
valves are not as they should be, automatic. The
apparatus for super.h heating steam seems only to
be available at the cost OF grave peril. The ma

power required by the engines.
There n swami of harmony in the working Of the
screw and side wheel engines, and the donkey en-
zines are BY no means SO servicable as certain
American inventions of the same kind. The ma

ferent value. On the other hand, the vessel is

WEArHEs IL MoBIIE. The Mobile Advertiser Of
Saturday says:
Yesterday was cold, clustering day-a very ap-
pr0priate one for the season. The wind blew quite
fresh rom the north, from early in the morning
untlate IN the evening. and sent the dust into the
air in spiral columns often. Several of our people
had foot races after their hats, and any one who
stood on the street for any length Of time could oc-
casionally witness some amusing scenes of this
1nd; reward night sovercoats became a very
fashionable garment, and fires were eagerly sought
after Should the wind die down, a pretty severe
frest may be looked for this morning.
