The SHAH.,--This magnificent ship
of war, undoubtedly the most power
full ever on the Pacific Ocean, is now
at Esquimalt, with Admiral Dellor-
sey OIL board. The Shah is wood
en-cased iron frigate of 6,O4O
tons and 7,477 horse power. Her
length is 335 feet, breadth 81 feet,
draft 26, and carries crew of 645
all told, rs Of which are marines.
Her full armament consists of 26
guns, of which two are 9 inch IL
ton guns, eight Ga Founders on the
upper deck; and on the main deck
sixteen 7.inch 64 tons. On the up
per deck her two 9.inch pivot guns
which are mounted fore and at un-
der the forecastle and poop and which
can be trained so as to fire on a line
with the with the keel as the the ship
is chasing or being chased The
modern theory of naval tactics is to
hur masses Of iron from number OF
guns on a section of the enemy's
side at the same moment, and to en-
able the Shah to accomplish this her
broadsides can be discharged by
electricity. The hull of the ship is
wood with an iron casing of about an
inch in thickness, the backing being
teak. Shells full ship rugged and
spreads something like an acre OF
canvas. Her capacity for coal very
great, she being able to steam over
5000 miles with the wind dead ahead.
The Shah was commissioned on the
14th of August, and is the first ship
that is fitted with the Whitehead tor
pedo, and is also fitted with all the
latest patents for firing, etc.; rudder
which is very large can be worked
by steam. Her highest speed is II
knots an hour, Is knots however be-
ing considered quite fast enough

THE IMMIGRANTS WE WANT.

Our citizens are often receiving
letters from people in the East, max
ing inquiries as to the prospects Of
winning riches in this Territory. Only
last week our p. M. was in receipt
of letter from parties in the
State of Iowa, complaining in bitter
terms of the poverty that surrounds
them where they are, and all wishing
to come 20 the Sound. With many
other queries they wish to know if la
Dor is in demand at high wages. In
reply to which we would briefly say,
that clerks are not in demand, and
situations with good salaries and
nothing to do, are not to be found in
this part of the country; but for all
who are willing to WORK, there is
every opportunity to do we'll. Our
waters are full Of fish of all kinds,
our soil and climate produce superior
fruits, and alluvial bottom.lands are
ready to produce grass for extensive
daries; and all within the reach of the
LIVE immigrant. We have rich val.
leys waiting for settlement-land
that can he obtained free, or at a
small price, where hundreds may, in
a few years, have pleasant and at
tractive homes. Those who do not
wish to farm, and have limited means,
can fad many enterprises that will
pay well to invest in.
We do not wish immigrants to come
to this Territory with the indea that
all needed from them to insure for
tune is merely their presence here.
And for charity towards those who
entertain the idea and also as 4 safe
guard to our prosperity we would
plainly say, "You are not needed
here" But to men of business life
and industrious habits-to those Of
"bone and sinew"-who are sel(re-
liant, asking favors of none, who
commencing at the right end "pitch
in" with the determination to reach
the other end with hard, honest la
Dor, and square dealing-to those
men we extend the .zy" of friend
ship, and welcome awaits their arrival
ON the productive shore of Puget
Sound. SHOOTING STICK.
