Each day this monstrous vessel becomes in her rapid progress towards completion a and a (aaspe| Eastern still. For nearly four years she has med in dim immensity over ‘the river side like some pre-Adamite leviathan; for nearly four she hex stood an iron enigma, exciting and all conjecture as to how she was to be got down to the water, and how she was to be managed and con- trolled when in it. To the majority of Londoners she has been little else than a colossal sailor’s folly, as little likely to be moved from the place in which she rose as the banks of the Thames itself, in which it was generally believed the Great Eastern was destined to remain a permanent ornament, @ reproach to mariners, and a beacon of warn- ing to future enterprising companies of all kinds. It will, however, relieve the minds of our readers to know for certain, that whatever other fate may be in store for this gigantic undertaking, the vessel is at least not doomed to remain where the has been for so long. The hours of the Great Eastern’s «tay on land are now numbered; each day diminishes more and more the connection between the shore and the ship, and on Tuesday next, soon after daybreak, it will be finally sundered, ayd the Great Eastern launched into that element on which her appearance will be the forerunner of a new era. It is only within the last few hours that the hour for the launch has been decided on, and the morning of the 3d definitely fixed. Until recently it was quite impossible to say when the launch really would take Jace, for, in spite of the labors of 1,100 men, who have worked without cessation day and night, so much was to be done that at one time a further post- ponement seemed inevitable. Only by the constant care and untiring energy of all connected with the works has this delay been prevented, and the novel difficulties presented in the construction of the lannching ways overcome within the allotted time. Just now the Great Eastern has reached her cul- minating point of preparations. During the next few days they will cease and determine altogether; but at present they are rampant, and in the great chaos which reigns upon and around the vessel, iron and paint, wood work and shavings seem to struggle for her mastery and . It is almost hard to tay which most predominates. Judging trom the state of his clothes on his return, the visiter is apt to give a hasty verdict in favor of the paint, though his recollections of the works—the gong-like uproar with which the punching, rolling, welding and rivet- ing of iron goes on—the endless variety of steam and hand saws always at work, and the amount of timber either sawed or being sawn—leaves him after all ina perplexed state to say in which branch the Great Eastern is most progressing. Since our last notice the whole exterior of the hull, from deck to keel, has been re-painted and finished off according to the appearance she is intended to present when in the water. This change has made a great improve- ment: instead of a red, unmani ble looking pile, heavy and awkward to the eye, her beantifully mo- delled form, and slender, tapering bows are now brought forth in all their perfect symmetry. She is Vieshte three colors—red lead up to the 20 feet or light load water line; for 15 feet above this, up to the heavy low water line, copper color, and the remain- der (32 feet) up to the top, black. The mere paint- ing of the vessel, slight as the fact may appear when mentioned, involves a labor of no common magnitude, tor the painted surface of the Great Eastern is, inside and outside, nearly 126,000 aquare yards in extent, or more 24 acres. The number of tons of paint which it requires is a calculatiun on which we dare not venture. As regards the pre tions for the launching, we have already deseril at length the peculiar construction of the launching ways over which the vescel will glide into the wate: ‘erhaps, however, 2 brief repetition of the main plan on which they are made may not even now be without interest to many of our readers. Two ly ig or broad and powerfully built tram constructed by the railway contr & Co, ren 4 under fore and after portions J into the low water sprit e Each of these “ways” is 300 teet lone by 120 wide, and the distance be- tween the two is also about 120 feet. To guard against the shitting nature of the river mad both the “ways” are constructed with unusnal solidity and strength. The foundation of each ix formed ‘upon seven rows of ee the four outside rows being driven at three feet intervals, and the three inner rows at six feet. These piles are all forced home to the gravel of the river bed, so that they graduate from a length of 32 feet under the ship's bottum to 10 feet at the low water mark. To both sides of the heads of the rows of piles strong timbers, 12 inches by 12 inches, are securely bolted, and the whole area of the “way” covered with concrete to a thickness of two feet. Above the concrete longitudinal timbers of great strength are secured at intervals of three feet six inches from centre to centre, and ran the entire length of the “way.” Over these again are placed transverse timbers of the same solidity, bat only three feet apart, which are bolted’ 'toge ther and again bolted down to the walings to keep them fixed under the pressure they will have to bear, and prevent them floating at high tide. On there transverse timbers, but ranning straight from the vessel to the water's edge, are screwed railway metals at intervals of eighteen inches apart. They are the ordinary solid bridge rails used by Mr. Bra- nel on the permanent way of the Great Western Railway, and are, of course, of the strongest kind. The rails complete the “ways,” which, thus resting on a bed of piles aud concrete, form a massive road of crossed and recrossed timbers stretching from | der th eat Eastern to low water mark at an in | nation of one in twelve. Down the railway metals on these “ways,” then, the ship will be slowly !ow- ered in the water on cradles, which are constructed under her. The cradles are, of course, of the same width as the “ways” over which they are to run. They are made of large balks of timber, wedged and driven in with @ ponderous machine like a battering ram, ®0 as to perfectly fit the ship’s bottom. © timbers are principally laid athwartships, with longitudinal beams and shores fastened to the outer sides. All are riveted to ther with iron bolta and serews and loaded with iron ballast to prevent their doating with the vessel. The bottom of the iron cradle consists of iron bars seven inches wide and an inch thick, placed at inter- vals of a foot apart and with their edges carefully ground off, so as to offer no resistance to the railway metals of the ways over which the: pasa.

As fat as herman ingennity and skill can foresee the «train which is to come upon this tackle, danger has been provided against, and the whole apparatas forms the most ponderous system of check tackle that has ever yet been constructed. Wg have already explained What the cradles are, and how the timbers of which they are composed are wedged in by means of a huge battering ram till the whole is crushed into one compact mass, bolted together with massive iron rods, To the centre of each of these cradles is fa ten- ed the iron sheave to which the check tackle i) at- tached. sheaves or pulleys have been expe cially made for this work; they are of solid cast iron, and weighing 5 tons each, One sheave will ‘ant ened to cach cradle, and wrought iron chain cables of the largest size counect these with two other sheaves, each of which is secured to a “drum.” which pays out the chain ard in fact. regalates the whole opera tion. These drums and the framework on wii they rest having to bear the strain of the whole mass in motion, extraordinary precautions hat taken to render them as massive as they ce made hy any known combination of wood and iron. ‘The ehape % that of an ordinary reel, the axle of which is formed by beams of timber and strips of wronght iron bound together so as to forma es about 20 feet long and 9 feet in diameter. am Ateach end of the cylinder are the wheels of the dram or disea, 16 fert in diameter, each of slid iron and weighing u wards of 20 tous, #0 that the wevht of each drum is more than 60 tons in all, fhe aste of the dise is set in a poe of ion, while arvand ite outer edge passes a band of wro tot, ty work in the manner of a friction clutel, or break.

For four large itera are moored in the tideway, one hundred yards from the shore, which are fitted up with the crabs and sheaves used by Mr. Brunel in the meoees RN the viaduct over the Tamar at Saltash, and in building the celebrated railwa: bridge at Chepstow. Each of these crabs wor! with a windlass gives a strain of sixty tons, and this force of 240 tona, if necessary at all, is to be applied amidships, Two lighters wil, also be moored at the stem of the ship and two at the stern. The chains passing from the ship to these latter will return again on shore, so asto be worked with a double purchase.

Before the last of these, however, are removed, care will be taken that the massive check tackle to hold back the shi is properly hauled taut, for when the vessel is le! ‘on the cradles, and the cradles on the sloping ways, the launch might take place at any moment in the moet abrupt and unexpected manner. The way in which the supporting shores and struts have to be removed is as peculiar as all else connected with the monster. It is nearly four years since these beams were pt to support the sides, since which the iron shell frown into the dimensions of a city, and pressed its supporters so firmly to the earth that it was found almost impossible to remove them. The difficulty has been overcome by employing hydraulic cks, of sixty tons power, b: apolying which to the m or strut the earth in which it rested was com. presses by immense force till it sank some two or three inches, when the beam was loosened and quiet- ly withdrawn, ‘Theatrical and Musical Items.
