A GREAT SrEAMsHlr.--Thes New York
Journal Of Commerce gives the. following des-
c%riptaon Of the great steamship-o f-the line
built at one Of the ship yards Of that city for
the Russian Government: y @sEI-e7
The great: floating fort, the General .Ad7niyal
is now receiving her last touches Of the en-
CINE maker, Triggers, carpenters, and decora-
tors. The enormous engines and boilers are
all in their places, nd#will be ready for
steam in about a week. The motive appa-
Tatus is the most finished and. the most ex-
pensive ever put iii in American hull, though
it may be second in expense to that Of the
Great Eastern. The entire cost is about 5000.
000s Mr.. Webb, the builder, in accordance
with,the wishes of the Russian Government,
has furnished the best engines that American
mechanical sklll5can produce, and he has pur.
sued the sameplan in the entire equipment
oil the vessel. His contract called for white
oak gun carriages, but in his desire TO turn
out an unapproachable specimen of work, he.
substituted the more costly material, rnahos-
any,sot.which#the ponderous frames are en-
tireiiY,lco1nposed--only the axIes being white
oak, andSthe true ksai gnumvita. Twozsiiidink
carriages, intended 10 support the great pivot
guns, cost about $4,000 apiece. Mahogany is
four or five times as expe .,sive as white oak,
but is vastly more durable and suffers little
or nothing by exposure to the weather. The
General Admiral will be ready for the engin-
GERS trial trip in a few weeks and will. be
carefully tested on other occasions, after
which she will PROCEED to Cronstadt and take
her place ds the flagship of the Russian Navy.
