part, and then only under partial t*iil, tliu jiauwißu ■wns made almost exclusively under sail, Iho heel of the main mast having shifted and prevented the usual quantity of canvass being carried. On hor trial trip in the Clyde, the vessel is described as having gone at-the rate of nearly 10 knots an hour, but her usual speed on the passu.-e was about 14 knots ; and she has gone 111, Ulmcl - ~a i l, tho best run per dtorn having been 279 miles. With such promises of speed, she will probably, prove herself to bo premier among the fast boats of the colonies, and there is no douht of her being, in that particular and 111 many others, aves-el which few of the latest accessions to the colonial stuam-llout are liki'lv to excel.— Otyn />,■;/,, Tin,,:-; May 1-1. Tnu l)ofi:LK Seiu:w at Ska.—Kxtkaoiuunahy Kksvi.t.—A trial was made on Wednesday and Thursday last of the iron steamer Atalanta, fitted with double screws. Sho completed the journey between Giave.-end and Calais verv satisfactorily, a'nd having over 1o Dover, slie stiirted"at ■!.> minutes"past:) o'clock to try her spec d with the Vivid, one of the fastest boats of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Co., carrying the mails. From th<> time of starting", tin- re-nit was never for a moment iu doubt. The Vivid, pitching her hows into the sea as she got clear of the land, was evidently making hard work of it, aud fas*, dropping astern of the Atalanta, which without throwing a drop of spray over her deck, was making her way iu splendid t-tylo, aud improving her position with every fresh put';' "of wind and roll of the sea. Calais was reached in 77 minutes by the Atalanta, but the Vivid was 107 minutes —half an hour behind the double screw. The success was of so decide., a character that it was considered mineces-sary to -„■•.<! tiiopeed of the boat any further, and a ret mil course was then-fore shaped for the Thames, where. shr arrived -it .j p.m., and where she will complete her ottttit for the service for which she has been htiilt. litox Sniriii'ii.mxd uxtiii: Mkksky.—The Mersev may now claim to be one of the greatest shipbuilding centres in the world. There is ut present great activity in the yards on both sides of (he river. Messrs. Laird Urothcrs are building the iron-clad for the Adiniraiity, and are bringing it rapidiy towards completion. Messrs. Jones, (.Juiggin, aud Co., o\\ the Liverpool side, have seven lHi-giTiron and s;. el vessels in course of construction ; and one ol' them, the keel of which has lieeii recently laid, will be an lion screw -learner of 0,050 tons register. She "ill nieasin-e upwards of !00 feet in length, and will be di\ iileil into Si am water-light compartments, and is intended lor the Australian trade. This is the largest ship yet built ou the Mersy. In Messrs. Uol.iciTa'Ss and Chilton's yard adjoining, live large vessels are being constructed on Jordan's patent. Messrs. W. C. -Miller and Co., Messrs. Vernon ami Co.. -Messrs. Kvuus and Co., Messrs. Hart and Sinnott, ar.d Messrs. Potter ami Co., have all several vcs-els iu i-oui'sc of construction.
