that her owners have spared no pains to mako he1
not only thoroughly seaworthy, out model in
every respect
The hull is of iron, and is divided into water and
air tight compartments, carefully separated from
each other, so that if one alone should be damag'
ed the result would not be disastrous. Pumps
placed in different parts Of the vessel connect With
.lese wells or apartments, and by the use OF the
engines, three Of which are attached to the ship,
the water could be pumped out in short time.
She has accommodations for sixty cabin passen-
gers, and her berths and staterooms are arranged
with great neatness, and with every regard to the
comfort Of their inmates. Her capacity IS aboat
1900 bales of cotton and her facilities for storing

water, and besides this, has condenser when
transforms the salt water into good and dr'nka-

already engaged for the return trip.
A collation. was given on board Inst Saturday by
the agents and Captain CHas. COLLINS who proved
himself to be the very prince Of hosts, and his

fairs, and is just the Captain for the Ca1so0a.

our senses when we daily hear of tho extraordi-
nary cures effected by MARsDEN'S preparation OF

eases Of the lungs it stands pre-eminent to any
preparation known. For sale by all druggists.
