The Banks Expedition.


| The Banks Expedition.
We published on Fridyy the report of the Con-
eressional Committee appointed 10 look into the
matter OF The cbartering of the vessels for the Banks
EAPeniuon. We have siDce received and publish
oeio" synopsis Of MIR. Haswels reports upon the
steamers surveyed by him for the expedition, which
gives very clear and correct idea of the character
OF the steam vessels employed
1t will be seen that nineteen of than hear thu
mark of Good, relative to their osne,,l condt;on
and sesworthiness; while three are Fair and four
are ohiy Ear unaer Jdroratle circumstances Of
heather. The steamer Niagara, of which 40 much
has been said stands upon this report as Fair as TO
her seaworthness; and in the particular Of he,
anchors, hawsers, &o.-a very essential element
she was fully provided. All those marked Class S.
denoting their standing with the Uudsrwriters.
are not considered by them as sea.going yes.
sells, but those that usually navigate the Sound.
rivers, &c.
| OF this character, 1t will be observed, there are
thirteen; but the majority of these in calm weather
are capable of short coast route. Tue other YES
ses are considered sea-goug, and their standing
can be inferred when it is known that AL Is tho
highest mark vessel can receive.
1t must be understood tina. Mr.. Haswel was en-
tirey ignorant of the destination Of tbs expedition,
this fact having been kept from him by those con-
trolling it.
