[From the London News, 4th ipst.] We regret to announce that the first attempt to launch this great Leviathan has been a fail- ure. To understand what has been done, it is necessary first to describe the preparations which were made to insure success. These preparations may be divided into two classes— the means to restrain her motion in case her movement into the water was too rapid, and the apparatus used to start her off or to accele- rate her deseent if found too tardy. All the props or stays which supported the it ship while she was building being removed, she rest- ed on two huge cradies, placed about 150 feet apart, and at equal distances from her centre. ‘These cradles were faced at the hottom with iron plates; these iron plates rested freely on iron rails placed parallel to each other, ata distance of about a foot and a half, and firmly bolted to two platforms of wood, each forming slope or inclined plane of about one inch in twelve. cradles may be regarded as two iren-shod sledges. which were intended to slide down the surface of the rails of the two slopes called ways, bearing with them the ship into d water. “The great novelty of this arrangement did not consist in intending to launch the ship side- ways, for this has been dove again and again in India and America with great success. The untried part was the one of two iron surfacesin contact while sliding the ship into the water. Hitberto, greased wood has been used for this purpose, sufficient amount of grease being ap- plied to prevent the weight of the ship squeer- ing itout soas to bring the surfaces of the naked wood —— ‘n point of fact, the friction down the slope Ys usually that of a greased surface in coutact with grease. Now the retardation produced by this is well known. It is a matter of experience that if the sivpe be in 24 the slip will not move; if 1 in 12 i fast, perhyps, but t ver- speed can readily be -hecked by mechanical appliances. The behavior of the iron sledge in contact with iron was unknown, and therefore there were no data for the inclination of the slope, when these two metals were in contact. The same slope was used which was known to be successful for greased surfacesof wood. Any difference in the friction of the two was sought to be compensated for by giving the rails a good coating of black lead, this substance being used —— as au anti-frictional medium. ealing, therefore, with conditions altogether untried in ship launching, it was necessary to make ample preparations for two contingencies —over speed or too little. The former was pease anticipated. Two hugo drums, like the windlass of a ship used for hauling in the anchor, were fitmly attached to strong founda- tions fixed on piles driven into the earth. Ovor each of these, iron cables, of the same strength 8a those intended to bold the monster ship at anchor, were wound round till each drum sup- Ported sixty tons of cable. One extremity of the cable passed round each drum was firmly fastened to the cradle, in front of the centre of which it was placed, and the other was fast moored to the earth. As the ship should move down the slope, the cables would wind off the drams, and this motion could be instantly checked bya friction band of iren passed round the circumference of two wheels at cither ex- tremity of the dram. These friction banis could be brought into instant play by means of powerful levers, acting on them so as to bring their surface into contact with thore of the sur- faces of the wheel? attached to the drams. Sufficient mechanical and manual force manned these four levers, to counteract the whole weight of the ship, so as to hold her still mid- way during her descent, if necessary. provided only the cables resisted the tension brought to bear om them. We must notice in ng. that these friction drums and wheels had winches, eog-wheels, and other machinery at- tached to one extremity, which had been used to wind the heavy cables round them. Such were the powerful and well devised means to check any ae. To start the cradles in motion, powerful by- draulic apparatus was used, which was capa- ble of acting so as to push them about three feet forwards. If more force than this were necessary, it was provided for by three means. A ——s cable was passed round the extremity of the shaft of the Archimedean screw at the afterpsrt of the ship, carried out into the midst of the river, passed round a block ina lighter, firmly moored, and brought back again to the shore, where a small stationary steam engine was piaced to haul it in, and bring any reasonable amount of pressure to bear upon it. Another steam engine and similar a tus was used for a cable firmly fixed to the bow of the ship. Lastly, cables were fastened to the middle of the ship, and carried ont to four lighters moored in mid river, with mechanical apparatus on board them, well-inanned, to drag the centre of the ship forward if necessary. Having now made our readers acquainted with the mechanical appliances used, we shall to narrate the history of the day's pro- ceedings. The river was crowded with craft of every description, weighed to the water’s edge with living freight. Every available spot on both sides of the river, where a glimpse of the ship could be caught was filled with expectant taters. About 1 o'clock the excitement of I was raised to the highest pitch. ‘The busy group of industrious rers, who had been cagered in blackleading the rails of the ways with brushes and paint pots, began to dimin- ish A fow were left, scattering masses of Powdered blackiead, like sand. At length these retired. All seemed ready; but two mea remained, one on each way, standing near arope ladder, by means of which they might escape into the shipassoon as the cradle should the water. A young gentleman took his place oa a high platform, erected near the after pa:tof the ship, with his theodolite duly placed, to mark the motion of the ship. The tide is rushing in. but it has yet only covered half the ope of the ways. The shout is heard “she moves!” and so she does—the aft faster, however, than thefore. Herspeed is instantly checked, and she is still. Now, each anxious spectator congratulates bis neighbor. She glides beautifully dowa— she is under control ; surely all is well, and the attempt will be s triumphant success. Alas, scon the rumor is passed along that the motion Was premature—that it has been checked by a sad accident. As the turn or two of the cable round the drum, placed to check the motion of the after cradle. gave to the movement of the ship, the winch-handles, attached to its gear, revolved with frightful velocity, hurling five unfortenste men into the air, and sca! broken cog-wheeis among the-crowd. Three of shese unfortunate men, we regret to hear, were severely injared. This is a sad damper ; nevertheless Mr Bra- hel and other officials sre seen examining the ways. The fore-cradle is found to have ad- vanced three feet forward; the aft one about four feet six inches. All ere still sanguine. ‘We wait but for high water. An hour's anx- ious watching, aud the tide covers the ways | and reaches nearly to the keel of the ship. The laborers are all engaged in the four lighters meored opposite the middle of the ship, tau tening the cables attached to them. Their work is either fruitless or considered 0; and «steam tug removes all the lighters out of the expected way of the ship. Signals are made, the fixed steam engines draw in the cables attached to the fore und aftof the ship.

It ibe- comes too evident now that all hope of moving ‘the ship is orer for the pay The spectators who had stood in the rain, whieh had been falling heavily for the last hour, moodily disperse to inquire into and epeculate upon the causes of failure. _ We have our own crade notions on the sub. ject.
