the Russian ftigate General Admiral on bet
voyage from New York TO Cronstadt. He hal
taken great interest in the mammoth steamel
Crest EnsteTn, from The comneucem1os: haa
visited her every few months while 10 courrs
Of construction. and on the invitation Of Capt
Aosrisson, her commander, and the Board ol
Directors Of the Great Ship Company, he
accompanied her on her recent trial trip and
happened to b on deck - the time Of the fatal
steam explosion OF Hastings, on the evening Of
the 9Th inst. Capt. Comstock i highly pleased
with the steamer and pronounces her perfect
success, 30 far ~ navigation il concerned, and
10 even enthusiastic on the subject Of her per.
Torrance. Many have the impression that the
late trip was trial trip for speed, but this u an
entire mistake; the trip was made simply for the
purpose Of removing the ship from her position
In the Thames 70 . sesp0fs where she can be
coaled and put 10 proper trim Tor trial trip
The Great Eastern ID 70 be prepared for her
trial trip - sooE a. the repairs Decessitated By
the explosion can be completed. Her trial trip
will be from Portland to Holyhead, and, ac--
cording % present arrangements, she will sail
from H0lyhead for Portland, Name. on the goth
OF October. Il has been fully determined by
the Board Of Directors that from Portland, Me-,
the Great Eastern shall come on an excursion
trip to New York, BY the way Of Sandy Hook.
This IL positively settled and determined.
Shortly before the ship left the Thames, Capt.
Comstock and Capt. Morrison we're both ques-
toned on the subject, before the Board OF Di.
rectors, and both concurred in the opiRion that
the ship can enter the barbor over the bar At
Sandy Hook, drawing 24i feet Of water, with
perfect safety. Tho famous clipper ship Great
Republic crossed the bar over rs feet. IL was
then arranged that, 1t Portland, U. s., the
Great Eastern shall be lighted to the required
draught and then proceed on her excursion 70
this city via Sandy Hook.
Capt. Constock 10 of the opinion that the
Great Eastern cannot cross the bar safely except
a. The spring tides, which occur once fortnight,
and that, IS even then. she cannot bring much
of cargo. Il would hardly pay TO run her
regularly to this port The He'll Gate channel,
he thinks, is impracticable, not for want Of
water, but because the channel 10 too crooked
very extraordinary circumstances the passage
through Hell Gate might be effected. Capt.
Comstock thinks that as . passenger ship the
Great Eastern might be run between New York
and some European. port, with profit, because
she would not necessarily draW too much water
to enter the harbor, If she carried little Or no
freight, Or depot might be formed for her on
the other side Of He'll Gate, which, after al,
would be nearer New York. Many ships ap-
proach to the heart Of London. A large number
Of the stockholders are directly interested in the
Grand Trunk r. r., and Of course would pre-.
les 70 have the ship run to Portland. Others OF
the Directors are India merchants, and desirs, if
she shall prove commercially a. well as prac
Eically successful. to make her one Of .
regular line of packets to India. They talk OF
building five more steamers Of similar monster
proportions for the India trade; but, Of course,
that will depend upon the success of this first
great experiment On the whole, it is probable
hat the ship will be run regularly to this port.
