It la of a wife beaten to death by her huabaud 1
n., TH of a FBXAhn— Summed Cause the IU-
treatment of Her Husband.—Coroner Wilhelm was
yesterday culled upon to hold au Inquest at Bellevue
Hospital on the body of Mary Ann ftnenrer, and Jt
ream, who had been admitted Into tho above mspi-
tal, on the 7th Inst. Sha was convoyed to the hospi-
uu hi her ulster, and »l that time insenslhlo, raid to
bare been caused by the IH-treatroentof her huabanrl.
The stater or deceased informed Dr. Cartwright, the
house surgeon, tint deceased had. about a week pro-
Tioua. been sercrely beaten by her husband, lbo
physician testiUed to the proatralo and Innensihle
condition or deceased when admitted to the boapltal,
and nbe continued in that way until she died, on
Monday night, at 0 o’clock. A port mortem examin
ation inn made, and many old bruises discovered ,
her face, armn and body exhibited mark, or violence,
indicted by sotno person aa yet unknown. Besides
tbeae external injuries there wore numerous Me of
hlooi found, and in Ills opinion death was occasioned
by violence, but he thought thnt intemperance hud in
all probability greatly accelerated the cause n! death,
the deceased having been known to be of lulcmner
ate hehlts. The Coroner was unable to procure fur
ther witnesses, the stater of deceased having given a
wrong number of her residence, and could not be
found, nor could litr bueband be found I Consequent,
ly the Coroner nnspended the cane until 10 o clock
this day.
Now. while beating a alavo to death by his master
deserves all that we have said In denunciation of it,
few will contend that it Is a crime more monstrous
In enormity than beating a wife to death by her hus
band. Yet bow different these outrages in tho eyeH
of northern abolitionism, and what conclusions do
they deduce from one, while silent in relation to tho
other! The murder of a slave by a brutal master
(they argue) proves slavery to be a fearful sin. Docs
then tho murder of a wife by the monster, her bus-
band prilve marriage less sinful? If then we are to
abolish slavery because one master In ten thousand
murders his slave, must not the marriage relation bo
abolished because one husband in tho same number
murders bis wife ?
But perhaps we shall be told that some or the abo-
litionists have discovered the marriage relation it
a grevious wrong, and are making war upon it, only
lees vigorous than npon Slavery. That 1s true. But
with such It were vain to reason ; though to do them
justice, tbeir action seems to possess a logical consis
tency with their principles, to which those ran lay
little claim, who, while they donouncc tho institu
tion of 81avery. for the reason that in rare instances,
the master abuses bis servant, yet bold the marriage
relation sacred, in the face of the constantly recur-
lng cases of wives abused by tlicir husbands.
Our creed is. that there are evils incidental to both
relations, but that nolther marriage can be prohibi.
ted In the North, nor Slavery abolished in the South,
without more enormous evils than those which grow
ont of either of these heaven-sanctioned Institutions.
Powell’s UeSoto.
This magnificent historical work of art will remain
in Savannah for ope day only, (Tuesday tho 18th,)
during which time our citizens generally will not fail
to view it. To give the reader a comprehensive idea
of the subject of the picture, wo draw upon the con
tents of a descriptive pamphlet before us :
Congress early decided on having tho vacant panels
of the Rotunda of our National Capitol at Washing
ton, filled by eight historical pictures, deslgued to il
lustrate the most important incidents iu the progris.
sire development of our couutry, each to be of the
uniform size of 12 by 18 feet, They voted therefor
tho sum of $40,000, to be awarded to the four differ
ent artists to whom should be entrusted the execution
of the four last of these works of Art. The first con-
dition, following this vote, was that tho pictures
should all be executed by American artists. A joint
committee of Congress was appointed to select the
artists, aud to decide upon the subjects submitted for
fiual adoption. The first four pictures occupying the
panels had been previously executed by Trumbull,
who was well acquainted with the great events and
illustrious men of the Revolution. The subjects of
his pictures were \he Declaration of Independence ;
tho Capitulation at Saratoga; the Capitulation at
,Yorktown; Washington Resigning his Commission at
Anapolls, Maryland. This committee named Chap
man, Weir, Vanderlyn and Inman, as the four artists
to execute the remaining four pictures, the subjects of
which were as follows : The Baptism of Pocnhontns,
was chosen by Chapman; the Embarkation of Pil
grims at Delft Haven, by Weir; the Landing of Col-
nmbns, by Vanderlyn ; the Emigration of Daniel
Boone to Kentucky, by Inman-but the death or Mr.
Inman prevented the execution of this last picture.
It then became necessary for Congress to appoint
another artist to fill Mr. Inman's place, os the origin
ol committee, on the completion of their labors, had
been discharged. Tho result was the election of Wil
liam H. Powell, a native of the city of Now York,
and a favorite pupil of Mr. Inman, by a unanimous
Tote of tho Senate, and hardly a dissenting voice in
the Hooseof Representatives, over sixty names offer
ed to execute the eight and last picture.
Trambnll received thirty thousand dollars for his
four pictures. Chapman, Weir, Vanderlyn,and Pow
ell, each, received ten thousand dollars for theirs.
Mr. Powell was born in tbo city of New York in
the year 1920, and consequently is 34 years of age.—
When seven years old,his parents emigrated to Ciu*
cinnsti, Ohio. Mr. Powell is at present a resident of
the city or New York. *
In 1835, be mode himself known to the lovers of
art by the remarkable picture of Roderio Dhu, the
Boottlsh Chief, whom the genius of Sir Waiter 8cott
bos Immortalized, and also by several admirable
paintings of aimble and domestic character.
In the month of Maroh, 1838, he made his de-
but before the New York publio by the exhibition
of two portraits at the National Academy of Design,
when he becamo very popular as a portrait painter,
and reoelved much attention and encouragement.
In 1845, Mr. Powell went to Europe. Ho remained
a few months in Paris and Florence, and afterwards
risited Rome, in which city be remained two years
and a half.
Among the pictures be has prodnoed during tho
lost few years, we may name :
" Salvator Rosa among Hjo Brigands," " The Cat
tle Driver cf the Roman Campagua," “ A Woman of
Calabria ” •• The Young Shepherd," “ A Neapolitan
Fisher Playing the Moudeline," " A Mother and
Child."
In 1848, Mr. Powell risited Europe for the sooopd
articular montiort of " The Fnncral HolewnlUea to
»e Sotoa picture fall of sentiment and of a most
npreasivc character. This last work has been lltho-
Taphcd by Uoupll. He haa also painted several per
mits of distinguished Americans, and has brought
riih him from Paris, os tho latest production of his
•eocll, portraits of tho most celebrated men of
ranee, military, political and literary, among whloh
. re striking reacinbisnoes of MM. Eugene Sue, Alex-
ndro Dumas, Lamartine, Abdel-Rader,and others.

Mr. Stuart reported back the Moose bill, felabfyn-

Mr. (lass offered a resolution directing Inquiry by
the Committee on Publio Lands as to the expediency
of granting land to aid in the construction of a Rail

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The House ordorad to be printed twenty thousand

It must not only leeplro e corre.pondlng feeling thrt
. nluht of the Mono luclf would hove begotten,-but
It ought to gn further i nnd. In ll.lo plotnro, Powell
has, as s great historical painter should, represented
everything that is known, that is essential to be un
derstood in order to make the spectator as familiar
with the whole subject, after careful observation, as
the painter was himself.
It is not always easy to communicate an Idea of the
moral atmosphere of a picture,—Its tone, spirit, and
sentiment. We sec two peculiar attributed of Pow
ell’s mind in his DeSoto, which distinguish him from
other painters. The first is the poetic tondeudy of
his gouius, which gives him a proclivity for the
ideala quality wbjpli, it ho had gone over that
period with a pen instead of a pencil, wonhl have
compelled him almost involuntarily to write in verse.
The second is a warm sensibility to whatever there is
that is genial, soft, delicate, and luxurious in earth,
air, sky, water—and all combined in what will be
called tho moral atmosphere of his work.
Ex-President Fillmore.—The Ex-President is ex
pected to arrive off our harbor in tho habtl, on her
present passage from Havana via this port for Charles-
tou. It is very properly contemplated to extend a
public invitation to him to visit our city. This cour
tesy is duo to Mr. Fillmore by virtuo of his former
high official station, and it is an act that oven those
honestly differing with him upon men and measures
will not bo found wanting in. The Mayor invites the
Committee appointed to visit tho Isabti to welcome
the Ex-President, to meet him at bis office at 1 o'clock,
this afternoon.
Acquitted.—A sailor under trial before the U. 8.
Circuit Court, in this city, charged with mutiny on
board the steamship Augusta, on her last trip from
New York for this port, was yesterday acquitted by
tho Jury. In addition to his discharge they awarded
him the pay due him up to tho time of his arrest.
Escaped prom Jail.—James Smith, and a Dutch
man named John, confined in tho county jail, the
former charged witli tho late robbery of Mr. Rosen-
band's store, and the latter with assault and bnttcry,
made tlicir escape, yesterday afternoon, through a
chimney. 8ome clue has been obtained as to the
whereabouts of Smith, nnd it is believed ho will not
bo able to escape the vigilance of the constables.
They wej-e to have been tried at tbe May Term of the
Superior Court.
The Seminole.—The success which this new and
elegant Steamer is enjoying on the Florida route, is
beyond all precedent, and is highly complimentary
toiler excellent qualities for speed, salety ami ac
commodation, and to her uble commander and ob
liging officers. ________
Bank Stock Sold.—Forty shares Bank of Brun
swick were sold on Thursday last, in Augusta, at $118
per share— ex-dividend. With tho recent dividend
declared, its value would be about $123.
Methodist Conference.—The General Conference
of the Methodist Church South is to be held in Colum
bus, Ga., on the 1st day of May next. Owing to the
cholera at St. Louis, where the last Session was held,
the atteudanco was small and comparatively little
done. It is supposed, therefore, that there will be
business enough before the body at its next meeting
to keep it in session four or five weeks.
The Term Bnbbslh,
Noah's Messenger, in reply to a correspondent, who
thinks the term Sunday, as applied to the Ural day in
the week, heathenish, remarks:
If it is, you may as well say that it would lie hea
thenish to call any day of tho week by its present
name, for they have all arisen from precisely the same
source. Ptolemy divided the planetary system thus:
1, Saturn; 2, Jupiter; 3. Mars; 4, the Sun; 5. Ve
nus ; 6, Mercury ; 7. the Moon. Each of these plan
ets were supposed to preside successively over each
hour of the twenty-four of each day, ns above given
—dies Saturdi, (Sunday, or day of Saturn,) dies Lu-
nase (Mondty.or tho day of the moon,) Ac. Nearly
every nation, nmong which we may mention the
Egyptians, Chinese,and Indians, have all distinguish
ed the day of the week by the sun and planets. Our
Saxon ancestors, from whom we have more directly
derived our names, ulso designated the days ot the
week by the sun and planets. Dies Solis, or the day
ot the sun, was iu Saxon, Sunna daeg.
The sun was worshipped by some heathen nations,
though this did not Htriclly give riso to the name uf
the dav, us it was called the Bamc by some nations
which did not consider that luminary a divinity. It is
Just as heathenish to say Wednesday (which the Sax
ons called Woden’s daeg, from Woden, their god of
war) as Sunday, from Sunua daeg, tho day of the sun.
“Sabbath” is not strictly applicable to any day ex
cept the Jewish day or rest, the Hebrew signification
of whicli is, to cease. In fact, we consider it evident
ly improper to call the first day of the week by the
name of Sabbath, there being no warrant for it in
either profane or sacred history. The day was never
kept as one of rest until the tune of Constantine the
Great, who, in the extravugant devotion he felt for
the religion to which ho had been so suddenly aud
mysteriously converted, ordered (A. D. 321) that it
should be kept in all cities and towns ; but lie allow
ed country pcoplo to follow their work. In 538, the
Council of Orleans prhoibited country labor. Some
K edantic ministers scrupulously avoid mentioning
unday, and always style it Sabbath. This, however,
is mere affectation. It is in much better taste to style
it " Lord's Day,"
From the Knoxville Register, 12th.
Mines and Minerals In Hast Tennessee.
Much lias been said of tho copper mines of Polk
county, and from what we hear os daily occurring in
that region, w'e arc constrained to believe that their
value has not been, as yet, half developed. But re
cently. we are told, the miners have reached the yel
low Bulphuretof copper, which we understand is an
infallible indication of the inexhaustible extent of
tho mines, and also their imcomparable richness.
The fever which has hitherto prevailed in that quar
ter of East Tennessee seems not yet to have attained
ita highest pitch, as new di-coveries are being made,
new mines opened und Inrge transactions transpiring.
But last week, we are informed, lucre were sales of
some two or three quarter sections of laud at about
$1.250,000. About five thousand tons of ore- ure now
being taken from the mines monthly, and this of such
richness as to bo worth nett one hundred dollars per
ton, thus making tho products of the mines even now
half a million of dollars per month. What it will be
when the shufts that are being sunk all penetrate the
rich sulphuret no one can conjecture, and whnt dis
coveries are yet to be made in the intervening space
between the Polk county mines and those recently
discovered in Carroll county. Va., “ no mun can
know"—that the two developments are but the out
cropping of the same continuous vein, which extends
along onr eastern border, we think there cannot be
the shadow of a doubt, os the Virginia and Polk
county veins have the same direction N. E. nnd 8.
\V., nave tho same dip—the same surface indications
and are in the same chain ot mountains. Besides
this, tho formation ot the intermediate country indi
cates as certainly the presonce of copper beneath the
surface, as do the masses of onoo molten matter
which are to be scon where tho copper has been
found.
But these copper developments are not tho one-
tenth part of the indications of tho unprecedented
value which is some day. and that now not very far
distant, to be attached to mineral lands in East Ten
nessee. To say nothing of our zinc, lead, marble,
etc., etc., aud the immense amount of capital whicli
we have no doubt will bo some day employed in
bringing these treasures out of the earth, wo can
point to our mountains of iron nnd coal as being of
more valuo ultimately than all the copper mines of
the world, no matter how productive they may bo.
From the New Orleans Crescent, April 12.
Later from Texas.
Tho steamship Louisiana, Capt. J. Smith, arrived
from Galveston yesterday, bringing Galveston pa
pers ol the 8th, aud papers from the interior os late
as due.
The reports on tho growing crops of corn, cotton,
and sugar, arc favorable.
The crops in Gonzales county, says the Inquirer,
are in a most flourishing condition. Com Is knee
high and growing rapidly, and the planters have
commenced scraping cotton.
Wo learn from the Han Antonio Ledger,of tho 30tb
nit., that Messrs. Edwards and Byron started from
San Antonio,on tho 27th,for California, with a drove
of six hundred beef cattle. Their party consisted of
about forty men, among them were " printers, black
smiths, wheelwrights, carpenters, lasers, doctors,
anil gravo-diggors.”
A court murtiul is to be hold in Austin on tho 17th
Inst., for tbe purpose of trying J. M. Steiner, for kill
ing Major Arnold, at Fort Graham, in October lost.
Brevet Brigadier General Win. SrHarney, will pre
side over the coort, which will consist of thirteen
officers.
The 21st of April, the anniversary of tbo battlo of
San Jacinto is to be celebrated appropriately in tho
principal towns throughout the State.
The " spring fights" | n Western Texas have open-
cd with a groat dealof spirit. The San Antonio Led
ger says ; “A friend in terms us that a serious row
occurred, a few days alnco, at the ranch of Manuel
Flores, ail about one or mother Eve’s daughters One
man was shot through above the crotoh, another stab
bed In the side and badly cat on the bead, and a third
had his faoe seriously carved. None of them were
mortally wounded."
Offioo hours and examining the public records, ana
further, that tho Postmaster General abolish all such
regulations. Ho stated the report of the Postmaster
in reply to the resolutions calling for information rel
ative to carrying the mail between Montgomery and
Mobile being contradictory. Ho went thither to look
into all the facts, but wns denied the privileges. It
was impossible for him to diaokarge his duty without
such facilities, and therefore asked to bo discharged
as a member of the committee on Post roads. Agreed
to.
Tho resolution was referred to the commltteo on
Post Offices.
Mr. Olds, frqm the committee on Post Offices and
Post Roads, reported a bill modifying the rates of
postage. He said two weeks ago, when he reported
the bill increasing the compensation of Deputy Post
masters, ho avowed himself willing to vote for an in
crease of postage. He asked tho House now to con
aider and mature this bill, and either to pass or re
ject it. We must do one of tho two tilings, either
abandon the idea of making the Post Office Depart
ment a self-sustaining machine or throw it for support
on the treasury of the United States. If not, raise
tho postages to sustain the Department. As long as
we have neither one thing nor the other, tbe system
operates Injuriously on the rural districts ; not in the
northern cities where the postal arrangements are
perfect. We have an annual deficit or more than
two millions of dollars. Aud what Is the consc-
quctico ? A gentleman from a Western or Southern
State goes to the Postmaster General, and a>ks for
increased mail facilities or a new Post Office,and the
auswer is “ no funds." The Post Office Department
is crippled for means, but if you throw tho Depart
ment on the Treasury, as you do the Army and Navy,
or raised the postages, you can be accommodated.
Ho would appeal to Southern and Western mem
bers to support this bill. He exacted opposition
from gentlemen from New York, Boston, Baltimore
nnd other largo cities, because the clieun postage sys
tem results beneficial to the commercial classes. His
friend from Pennsylvania had said he was in favor oi
the principle of the bill, but could not vote for it be
cause it would be against his constituents. He hoped,
however, the gentleman would be convinced of the
propriety of ita passage.
Mr. Olds said that fivo cent postage is the revenue
point, and this will sustain tho Post Office Depart
ment, and add two and a half millions annually to
ita revenues.
The hill proposes to charge five cents on single let
ters for any distance under three thousand miles, and
over that distance ten cents postage, in all cases to
be prepuid with postage stamps. This mode of pre
payment will establish a perfect check between the
Department aud the Postmasters, which docauot
new exist. The act to go into effect next January, to
enable stamps to lie printed in the meantime and
supplied to Postmasters.
The next is to alter tbe ocean postage. He could
see no reason for charging twenty cents on a letter
thnt goes by water, nnd only three cents when car
ried not exceeding three thousand miles by land. The
bill proposes the same rate when it goes wholly, or In
part, by sea, as when it goes by land, namely, five
cents for not exceeding three thousand miles, except
in coses where we have postal treaties with foreign
countries.
As to newspapers and periodicals, tho bill propos
es to repenl so much of the former law ns makes a re
duction of fifty per cent, on the prepayment of post
age.
Mr. Chandler stated his intention to the gentleman,
but gnve way to Mr. Sage, on whose motion tho fur
ther consideration of the bill was postponed fur lour
weeks.
Mr. Stanton, of Tennessee, from the Committee on
the judiciary, reported a bill modifying tho judicial
system of the United States.
The House went into committee on the land gradu
ation bill. Amendments were debated, and several
of a verbal character adopted, when the Committee
rose and reported the Bill to the House. It provides
for the sale of the lands whicli have been in market
for ten years, atono dollar per acre; fifteen years,
seventy-live cents; twenty years, fifty cents; twenty-
five years, twenty-five cents ; thirty years or more,
twelve and a half cents, provided nothing shall be
construed as to extend to lands reserved to tho Uni
ted States, in acta granting lands to tho States, for
railroad or other internal improvements, or to miner
al lands held at over one dollar and twenty-five cents
per acre, nor so construed os to interfere with any
light which has, or may accrue by virtue of any act
granting preemption to actual settlers on publio
lands.
Mr. Bridges moved tho bill be laid on the tabic.
Lost. Yeas sixty-six. Nays sixty-nine.
Pending the question ordering the bill to be engros
sed for a third reuding, the House adjourned.
From the Washington Slur. 14th.
Washington, April 14.
House.—To-day, the Speaker laid before the House
a communication from the President, transmittin
the .Secretary of tho Treasury's report aud accom
panying papers, in reply to a resolution of the 4th
lust., tho purport of which was not stated from the
Clerk's desk. Laid on the table, and ordered to be
printed.
The regular order of business being called for, the
Speaker announced it to be the further consideration
of Mr. Cobb's Luud Graduation Bill—the pending
question being on ita engrossment.
On counting the House, however, tho Speaker an
nounced that uo quorum was present. Whereupon
it was moved to adjourn; not agreed to—yeas 9,nays
120.
A motion was then made, agreeing to adjourn over
u Til Monday next, when the House du adjourn;
agreed to.
The question wns then put by yeasandnays on the
engrossment of the said graduation bill of Mr. Cobb,
us amended, and it was ordered to be eugrossed—
yens 72, nays 08.
The Bill was then read tho third time by ita title.
Mr. Cobb moved tho previous questiuu on the pas
sage of the hill.
Mr. Cox moved to lay tho billon the table—and
while the question was being put on this motion, our
report weut to press.
From the N. O. Crescent, 12th.
Two Weeks Later from Mexico.
Tho steamship Texas. Capt. H. Place, from Vera
Cruz tho 8th, arrived at this port yesterduy after
noon, bringing two weeks’ later news.
The iutelligenee is chiefly confined to tho progress
of the operations against Alvarez, and some scatter
ed notices of the proceedings ot Count Iioulbon and
Walker. Those from tho latter, however, are neither
later nor exucter than we before possessed.
On the loth of Murch, Col. l)e los Rios, posting
himself with only seventy men in a pass of the river
Tecoinupa, lav in wait for the pussage of Villalva,
one of the followers of Alvarez. The latter fell iuto
the umhusb, with about two hundred cavalry and in
fantry ; and was routed after only a few volleys.—
They tied without even waitiug to lose a man, and
took their way towards Acallon, pursued by De los
Itios. Villalva was beset in his retreat by the inhab
itants, from whom lie had expected adhesion, and
had been obliged to take refuge almost alone in ob
scure lurking places. His followers had dispersed.
In the meantime, Santa Anna bad advanced in per
son towards Alvarez, and had gotten as far as Cliil-
pancingo, where he urrivod on the 30th March. He
was received with a general submission uud return
to fidelity of the population.
On the 29tb, another leader of the insurrection,
Gordian Guzman, with his son and one Ramos, were
taken prisoners; their adherents having all passed
over to the Government. The prisoners were about
to be proceeded against under tho law against politi
cal conspiracy.
Besides these measures, the Government was fitting
ont at Mazatlan two barks, the Caroline and the Guer
rero, in order to blockade the port of Acapulco.—
Santa Anna had visited at Chllpancingo, in Ills re-
retirement there, tbe vencrablo General Bravo, one
of the few of their own leaders who, through a long
career, have always preserved the public respect.
The reports are that Alvrcz is reduced to very nar
row bounds, having possession only of tho hill ol
Pieregrina, tho plantation of Labrea nnd Coquillo.—
He is represented as almost without resources of any
sort, llis small force is composed of only outlaws
and forced volunteers, and is deserting rapidly every
day. The revolution, in a word, is considered on its
last legs.
Tho Diario Official publishes a letter from tire
French Minister of Marine, under date of tho 28lh
February, in which he assures the Mexican Govern
ment of all the measures which that of Franco can
tube to prevent such attempts as the late one of Count
Boulbon, whether by ita own subjects or thofee of
other nations. Ho promises to send, if possible, a
French frigate to protect the coast of California.
It is further reported at Mexico that the French
Consular Agents in San Francisco had by theirefforta
broken up, before it was ready to sail, an expedition
of twolvo hundred men. which Boulbon liud organ
ized. It would seem that these adventurers had al
lowed themselves to be persuaded to join in an expe
dition to Uuaymos as colonists instead of iuvaders.
A Mystkby ok the Ska.—A late letter from Cape
Haytien says that the wreck of a vessel, bottom up,
has lately been discovered at Poirier, a short distance
from that place. From appearances the vessel must
have been capsized iu the terrible gale of December
last, and floated ashore bottom up, nil on board per
ishing. The name on the stern Is gone, and there is
no means of Indcntifylng tbe vessel. She was sur
veyed by three captains of vessels, who declared her
to bo American, Eastecabuilt,and nearly new. Her
keel is 87 feet long, and she is or at least 160 tons
burthen.
Her cargo, whicli was got at by cutting a hole in
the bottom, is white pine boards and Carolina shin-
8 les, and the American Consular Agent Mr. Wilson,
as requested that the proceeds of her cargo or a por
tion thereof, may l»e given for the benefit of the Hos
pital for American seamen lately established by Mr.
W. at Cape Haytion.and It is jirohable that tho re
quest will be granted.—Boston Traveller.

A BTew Him lit Kkriiation,
We bare already noticed tho pro tort of boi'dlng a
monster steamer. In regard to which occasional brief «kki
paragraphs bare appeared in tbe Englisb Journals
from time to time during tbe past year; and we now
lesrn that tbe scheme la In process or actual exccn-
tlon. Tbe constructor* are Messrs. Russell Soott A
Co. { Mr. Brunei, tbe eminent engineer wbo built the
Thames tunnel, is tbe designer; and tbe Eastern
Steam Navigation Company are to own the ship, which
U intended to run from England to Calcutta. It Is to
be built on a principle similar to that of the Britaunla
bridge, with double sides—in fact, one ship inclosed
In another—with tbe space between them partitioned
into air-tight cells. The frame will bo stiffened Inter
nally by two bulkheads running the entire length of
tho hull, and dividing the vessel lengthwise Into throe
ootnpartmcuu. Twelve similar water tight partitions
will cut her crosswise, adding to her strength as well
as safety, for a leak would thus only affect the com
partment in which It occurred, whhh might be flllod
with water without seriously diminishing tbe buoyan
cy of the ship.
Tbe keel In to be 080 feet In length, beam 83 feet,
depth of hold 68 feet. From these figures we esti
mate the real capacity ol tho vessel to be at least 20,-
000 tons. There is to be stowage for 10,000 tens of
coal—enough for about 40 days' steaming without
stoppage—and 6000 touaof cargo. The motive pow
er is to be composed of sails, paddle-wheels and a
acrew. The engines are to be of 2800 horse-power In
tbe aggregate, weigldng aboot 3000 tons, leaving 2,-
000 tons lor passengers, stores aud other matters.—
To form an approximate idea of the performance of
this ship, let us compare it to a known standard.—
Tho dimensions of the Collins’steamers are: Length,
277 feet; beam, 45 feet; depth of bold, 32 feet; pow
er, (calculated by the English method,) 800 horses.
Tho draft, when loaded, is 20 feet, and the area of
the immersed section 779 square feet. This gives
116-100 horse power for each square foot of immersed
section. For the now ship we will suppose a draft of
35 feet. The immersed section will then lie 2400
square foet, und each square foot will bo impelled by
1 16-100 horse-power. Tho consequence (s. thnt if
the model of the new vessel be no letter than that or
the Collins steamers, she will havo in smooth water
exactly the same velocity. In n roogh sea the large
ship will of course havo tho advantage, and this per
haps to a much greater extent than will generally
be imagined.
Com non experience is, however, instructive on
this Head. We ail know that there are days in wiu-
ter when, owing to the violence of the waves and
wind, a row-boat on the East River might be an hour
In crossing, despite tho most animated exertions of
the oarsmen. In the same boisterous weather, one
of the large ferry boats will cross in five minutes,
with scarcely any motion from tho sea, for the reason
that ita length Is such as to extend nt once over sev
eral waves, whose effect upon the vessel is to coun
teract each other, leaving her still, when a small boat
Is tossed about without mercy, and greatly delayed
and endangered. It is certainly possible to build a
vessel of such dimensions that it will benr to the
waves of the Atlantic, the same relation which the
ferry boat bears to those of New Yoik harbor. When
these dimensions are reached, the ocean may lie nav
igated as pleasantly and as safely in winter as in
summer. Whether the length of 700 feet be suffi
cient for this purpose, is a question that we may hope
to havo solved ere long, by tho new Brobdignag of
Mr. Brunei.
But while in respect of Bpeed there seems to bo no
oilier point of superiority in the new steamer, than
her bulk, we may find in her enormous Rtowage an ad
vantage sufficient to justify tho risking of the vast
amount of capital which Rho must cost. No other
vessel can transputt such a quantity of coal, or other
lading. In round numbers one horse-power consumes
a tun of coal in ten days. A Collins steamer crossing
the Atlantic in that time, and having a propelling
power of 800 horses, requires consequently stowage
for 800 tuns of coal, besides the surplus for unexpect
ed emergencies. But the case is quite different with
a steamship going to Calcutta, a distance of 12,000
miles instead of 3,000, requiring, at the same speed,
for forty days’ steaming, four tuns of coal for every
horse power. This, a steamer of ordinary size could
not carry. Half the weight would sink such a steam
er, but the Leviathan can bear it easily. Tho force of
2,800 horses would require 11,200 tnusof coal; the
new steamer has accommodations for 10,000 ; and as
for the difference, they will either do without it, on
account of the superior speed of u largo ship, or they
cau stow on deck a few hundred tuns to be burned at
the commencement of the voyage, before the passen
gers have got over their sea-sickness, if indeed the
magnitude of the hull does not dispenso witli that
malady.
Wo nave already stated this vessel is intended to
have paddle-wheels and a screw, beside carrying as
much sail as a sailing vessel. This arrangement ap
pears highly objectionable. Sails aud a screw may
help each other, but when paddle-wheels are used,
sails to a great extent are worse than useless. A
screw in combination with paddle-wheels may do
something, though the paddle-wheels by setting the
water in motion must in some degree impede ita ac
tion. At any rate, tho power thus consumed would
be more usefully applied to the paddle-wheels, if they
were proportionately widened. Defects so obvious
cannot have escaped so acute nn engineer as Mr.
Brunei, and the only reason wo can assign for his
having admitted them, is the difficulty,.the impossi
bility almost, with our present means, of building en
gines of sufficient magnitude for such a hull. Hence
tho necessity of dividing the power nmong several
ordinary machines, and us these cannot all be placed
on one paddle-wheel shaft, of applying part oi them
to a screw. But this is merely eluding the difficulty
—and had Mr. Brunei boldly applied the resources of
hiH grent genius to building two engines of 1,400-
bone power each, (8,000-hone power in the Ameri
can way of calculating,) he might at once have over
come practical difficulties that years of ordinary ineh-
by-inch improvement will otherwise be required to
vanquish.—TV. Y. Tribune.
Disastrous Fire.
On Thursday morning last, about two o’clock. Mr.
Tlios. C. Taylor, living in Pike county, west of Zebu-
Ion, was aroused from repose by his dwelling house
being on fire in two places. His efforts and those of
the family were soon found to be unavailing, with the
small force on the premises, to extinguish the flames,
and the conflagration soon resulted iu a smouldering
pile of ruins. A largo dwelling house, with ten
rooms, his kitchen, smoke house, and two negro
houses, were all entirely consumed, as wits also most
of the house aud kitchen furniture, clothing, bedding,
etc., in the dwelling. The lire was communicated in
one place between the ceiling and weatherboarding,
dropped it down from the upper part, which wns
open, in tho other it wus built under the house. Mr.
T. lias no doubt the foul deed is the work of an incen
diary. Mr. Taylor had his hand much burnt in his
endeavoring to extinguish the lire, and Mrs. T. was
badly burnt by treading with her uaked feet on the
hot pitch which had been extracted by the heat from
tho pine floor. Wo deeply sympathise with Mr. Tay
lor and family in this serious misfortune. Mr. Taylor
with great exertion saved his meat and most other
articles from the smoke house, but the wardrobe of
himself and family wins all consumed.—Griffin Jeffer
sonian, 13/A instant.

Drag Vender*.
—The other night, about 11 o’q|o«fc, tbe
a of a dear relative sent me forth to gli tbe preMrip-
tlon of the attending physician, and I wiled at the nearest
drug store, but my call was unavailing. At a second, my
efforts were attended with the like result. I repaired to a
third, where I knocked, and begged, and hammered—etill
without receiving en answer. 1 hastened to a (earth, whore
my surprise rising Into botstrous Indignation, I banged and
bellowed to the tap of my voloe. but a grave yard might
have taken more note of my demonstrations. Irritated and
dlegnstad, I rushed to the fifth establishment for the vend
ing of drags, and tbe last In my calendar. A fixture with
(> night bell,” In capitals, was suspended over the door. 1
clutched the handle, and pulled with the agony of despair.
The loud sound of a bell responded to tho Jerk, and wont
clanging through the block ; but no living cry tore gave In
heed. I pulled, and jerked, and wrenched, but with the
same result. I would tear the appiratua to pieces with Its
lying tldlnga staring me In the face! What could be done?
In my extremity I resolved to travel the circuit of Doctors.
Here I found that the keeping and vending of drags was
not In the line of the faculty, each honorable member of
tbo same employing a particular apothecary. Truly, this
was a predicament. I might have been in a wilderness and
dying, with aa much chance for succor, aa In the heart of
our city with her medical college, her forty doctors, with
their pharmaceutical adjuncts With that sickness of heart
and dreariness of spirit which comes from a hope deferred,
1 continued my travels. Finally 1 chanced upon one of the
healing craft, who recommended my trying at the shop of
Mr. John A. Mater, Druggist, Broughton-street. This small
and humble establishment had escaped me. and like the
drowning man, I caught at the straw. Hero, to my eminent
delight and satisfaction, my wanU met with prompt atten
tion, and at a late hour I returned, successful from my long
and weary mission. It may seem a little thing—
*• 'Tin a tittle thing
To give a cup of water ; vet Its draught
Of cool refreshment, drained by fever’d lips
May give a shock of pteasure to the frame.
More exquisite than when nectarine juice
Renews the life of joy lu happiest hours.’’
It Is a little thing lor an apothecary to be at bis post, but
the anodyne prepared by his punctuality, may smooth tho
pillow of sleepless misery, or stay perhaps life Itself I
feel truly grateful, Mesars. Editors, to Mr. MATKR.andby
inserting this article you will aid me In paying the debt —
The only apothecary In a city who answers calls at night,
deserves patronage during tho day. May the measure of
his coffers equal the measure of his good. Cl via.
