W. Peel Kesbitt, Esq , M.8.,- on the passage out, that since the arrival of the ship in harbour they have presented Mm with a testimonial expressive of their thanks and of their good will towards him. Writing about double-hulled ships, tho Pall Mall Gav.tte observes that " the Castalia, and vessels of her class, point in their mechanical structure to a remarkable fact well known to Oriental navigators. It may be true that it is Incorrect to term the Castalia a twin-vessel. It liai been urged that she is rather ono large ship, partially divided in such a way that while her lateral motion in a rough sea shall be slight, yet her progress forward shall net be seriously impeded. Yet when we look at the niu'lianical principle on which she is constructed wo find that not only Is alio to all intents and purposes a double ship, but also that in her build she is but thn exemplification on a larg« scale of that one-outrlpgor system which is so universally adopted between Ceylon and the Pacific Islands, and which has, strangi to say, never been elsewhere largely adoptod. lien we come to a veritable historical puzzle. From Ceylon to the west, and the islands of tho Pacilj closest to tho American shore-lino to the oast, w.. meet everywhere with rmali sailing craft carrying th-.* one-outrigger. Nowheio else in tho whole sea-girt world is this the case, and nowhere, as far as history tells us, has it ever been. These craft not only sal' very ripidly, but in accordance with certain principles ) .'t unascertained, we believe, are wonderfully steady In the roughest sea. Along tho coast of Nether India, as well as along that of Java and Sumatra, tho outrigger itself is frequently fitted with sl-iall sails, but this is not tho cast* near Ceylon. Cross over from Ceylon westward—only a few miles—to tho coast of Southern IndU, and not a glimpse is to bo obtained of tho ingenious one-outrigger system."

ARRIVAL OF THE EDITH ROSE. The barquo Edith Rose, of New York, 4/ii tons, Captain I. F. Harding, arrived in port yesterday, after ft passage of 125 days from New York. She is consigned to Mess.rß.
