The GREAT EAsTERN.-All those who came
across the Atlantic in the Great Eastern, agree
that she behaved admirably throughout the
voyage, and that she is the safest vessel afioat
She moves easily and would probably make
the voyage in less time than any other vessel,
if in proper condition, The following extract
from the record of the fifth day of the voyage,
will show how she was affected by the roll
and toss Of heavy sea -
"There is decidedly heavy swell this after
noon from the southwest-the remains of
considerable blow which we missed-the
heaviest waves being perhaps 10 to Is feet
high and 200 feet apart. The Great Eastern
being very light, and high out of water, felt it
considerably, as follows: The complete rolls,
port and starboard, averaged at the rate of 60
per minute. The extreme Oscillation to lee
ward was thirteen degrees ten Minutes, and
eight degrees four minutes to windward. The
complete pitches, up and down, were at the
rate of u per minute, the extremes being
three degrees thirty tiye-minutes each way.
This would be considered quite light in small
ships, and is not heavy enough to move about
or oyerturn any sort of table service The
view from the extreme bow is very fine The
ships length and the height of the waves to.
gether leave her round fore foot out of water
10 or II feet back Of the stem, and then bury
it to the hawsehoes in the extreme stem,
which, filling with water, became u fountain
on the alternate rise. The stem of the ship
throws off no perceptible wave, but merely
turns up two beautiful sheets of spray. Their
resemblance to white wings and delicate feath-
ers with their concentrc elIiptical lines Of drops
is very remarkable. The screw is showing its
blades some inches out of water, as the ship
pitches, but the screw engine does not race
on that account enough to require the govern

does not roll out OF water as much as ] expect.

evening last. The names upon it were paint

several rounds of cheers, and the crowd were
subsequently addressed from the windows of
the democratic (which means Douglas) head
quarters, by M. j. McCafferty, Esq. When do

her behavior during the voyage, and wonders
that anybody should fail to see in the very ma
ture of the case, that she is the safest and best
of ships for passengers. He says =
"By her continued steadiness sea sickness
is entirely ignored, and, in the way of strength,
no iron structure that has ever been made can
at all compare with her. This was impressed
upon us by every sway of the sea, and the
idea which she continually enforces upon the
mind, above all Others is her absolute safety
from all the ordinary dangers of the ocean.
Against the risks resulting from contact with
solid body, she is beyond all calculation
stronger than anything which has yet been
seen atloat. The manner in which her vast
weight stood poised upon two single rests IN
| the builders yard for weeks before her launch
and the laundering against her sides OF the
| huge battering rams that smote her inch by
inch toward the water, give evidence OF what
she can endure. No shoal or beach could
break her before all her passengers could es-
cape for her scales are her pride, shut up to-
gether as with a close seal. They are joined
one to another, they stick together that they
cannot be sundered' Above all other Ships
she should be chosen by the timid, and 1t real
| ly is puzzle to me, how so many Intelligent
men who had read the history of her construc-
ton, and who were about crossing to New
| York at the date of her departure could be
induced to choose any other vessel. She is
certainly exempt from all the ordinary dangers
of the sea, and any one who will go into her
bow and look at the fourteen feet of deep mat
with sufficient power anu SGG pf pdYjg IS TsPit and
| push aside any ordinary iceberg.
The future destiny of the Great Eastern has
not yet been decided on, but there is strong
probability she will be retained in the passen..
ger trade between New York and Milford
Haven, which latter is to be her English port
of destination from this side. She cannot be
put probably in the Eastern trade, as it is
proved from her late consumption that she
cannot carry coal enough with a cargo, for
the voyage out and back; while as freight
vessel between England and New York the
cost of lighterage would eat up all her profits.
Her employment, therefore, as a first-class
passenger ship between the metropolis of the
western world and Europe seems to be the
natural destiny for the big ship, Tor she is too
good for anything else, and L can conceive of
no other service by which she can be made to
pay She would not only take all the first
class passengers, who now yearly swarm to
enjoy the wonders and gayeties of Europe, but
she would create travel, and her gorgeous
gentleman's saloon, larger than the rotunda
OF the Aston House, with its elegant mirrors,
its rattling ice its flock of walters, its quoits,
its skittles-all under the eye of its smoking |
louDgers, at center tables or side sofaS-would |

The JAPANESE have gone. They babe
adleu to their entertainers in New York, and
went on board the steam frigate Niagara, last
Friday. They took away with them great
collection of articles of every description, size,
and value. Many of these, enough to consti,
tute respectable cargo, they received as pres
ents from storekeepers and manufacturers.
But they also made extensive purchase. The
Tribune gives the foil owing account of their
literary shopping =
Japanese Selections of I:itera1v Works.
Among the various places visited by the Japa-
nese, Appleton & Brothers extensive publish
ing establishment Oh Broadway afforded them
no inconsiderable attraction, and during the
past week they have been in and out of the
house several times day. They were en-.
trusted to Mr.. kernot's care, and from him
they made their purchases of literary works,
in quantities that would astound country mer.
chants. Finely embellished works on the fine
arts they had no taste for, but bought largely
OF juvenile works with rude and common illus
trations. In their payment, they were very
precise, and instead Of settling the bill as per
total, they went through the whole list, exam
ined the books for imperfections, and then paid
for each package. They were very quick at
| bargains, but would offer too little. Among
the purchases were great numbers of Web
ster's spoilers, English grammars, Webster
and Worcester's dictionaries, Cornell's geogra-
pixies, aliases, books on natural philosophy
books of commerce, navigation, and gazettes
For the military officers of the government
Manicure bought six books describing new in
ventions in artillery books containg figures
of all the old and new models of guns and
muskets; figures OF carriage guns and models
treatises upon ordnance and gunnery on NOR
tars and bombs cavalry, infantry, and artil-
lery tactics descriptions of our harbors, forts,
&C., now building in the United States, with
plates books on agricultural implements and
farming. They also bought OF the house some
large and small balls recently invented, an
oven for heating shot red hot, and large
variety of landscapes of the United States
Those who visited the house were taker
into the bindery, where they made close exam
nations and noted all they saw in regard K
publishing. Prior to their departure the Ap
petons, desiring to make them present, dis
patched messenger to know whether or no
1t would be accepted. A list of the books EN-
braced in the present was also sent and wa
closely scrutinized, and word was returned
that it would be agreeable, and the ambassa
doris promised to put the books in the state Ii
brary at Yeddo."

THE REPORT ON THE WATER PRoJECT.-
An erroneous impression exists in some minds
regarding the report of the city committee on
the project of the needed water supply. 1t is
stated that the committee reported adverse to
Lake Quinsigamond because of its inferior
quantity and quality of water. The absurdity
of this statement must be quite apparent to
many. The words of the committee are as
follows 1.-THE PROJECT Of pumping water from
Lake Quinsigamond into the Bell pond re-
'servoir seemed to your committee to be at
"tended with too great and continual expense,
"as well as uncertainty Of final success, to be
considered practicable. Turning aside, then,
''from that, your committee proceeded to Hen
"shaw pond in Leicester. They were unani-
"mously of the opinion that the quantity and
equality of the water to be derived from that
Source, wSuld not justify the large expense of
Introducing it into the city, as estimated by
"Mr Inches" They then proceed to demon
strate The feasibility of draining up the water
of Lynde brook, more than mile this side of
Henshaw pond, for a supply.
Lake Quinsigamond covers an area of over
seventeen hundred acres, and is more than
eighty feet deep in many places. The water
is of excellent quality, and it will require
pretty large and thirsty city, backed by
heavy cash capital to pump tie lake dry.

CITY AND COUNTY.
Independence Day.

We publish this morning the programme
for the celebration OF July 4th, as arranged by
the chief marshal. The procession is to form
at O'Clock Wednesday morning, and its sew
eral divisions are to report themselves at that
hour, at the places assigned to them.
The Sunday schools will pass the day in
Paine's Grove, where a good time is waiting
for them. After the march over the route
described, the city government, the military,
the firemen, and others, will sit down to
collation. in Mechanics Hall, where the
speeches and toasts of the day will be aired
AS this will be very pleasant feature of the
occasion, there is no reason why our largest
hall will not be filled.
A balloon will ascend from the old common
in the afternoon and a fire balloon i'll the
evening. And not the least attraction OF the
day will be the performance of the new steam
fire engine on the common. The usual firing
of cannon and ringing of bells will not be
neglected.
The committee have worked industriously,
and have had to overcome apathy and steer
clear of other hindrances, but they have been
very successful, at least they have done their
part. The military, firemen, and Sunday
schools, will nrnh~L'- - -A-~ ''Ir go

that our citizens will decorate their houses and
