I was present at the entire pro- idings in Wieting Hall, and you may depend upon the th of what I say. a the first place it was irregular and contrary to lnocratic usage to pack the hall by the issuing of :ets. The hall ought, in the first instance, to have been ‘n to all, and the question as to those who had a right remain there ought to have been determined by the ldentials, the uncontested delegates making the initia- movements. It has been charged that the party in position to the Regency created the disturbance and rped possession of the hall. But how little truth there that allegation may easily be settled by the fact that entire control of the hall was in the hands of Peter , the chairman of the State Committec, a leading ber of the Regency, and it was by tickets ed by him, and signed with his name, that fnission to the hall was obtained. It is not likely that ih aset of politicians as the Regency would pack the i with a set of rowdies in opposition to themselves. ht they did pack it with roughs and fighting men from iv York and other placés there can be no doubt; and dodge of throwing the blame of rowdyism on others ;haracteristic of the Confidence clique.

Notwithstanding the rowdy arrangements of the Rogen- |, they were outwitted by a coup d'état of the Mozart Hall ‘ty.

The it disturbers of the Convention wero Peter Cagger and ; Who, coming after the meeting had been organized time,”’ called it again to order and insisted on appoint- another chairman. This was entirely irregular, and led whatever of riot afterwards occurred. That the first |ling of the meeting to order did not take place before o’clock, as stated in one of the telographic des- ches, several respectable citizens can swear. Furthor, izger’s Seat was contested, and he had no right to call » came to order at any time, This is the third point ty. next point.is, that the appointment of delegates to } Charleston Convention was virtually placed in tho nds of the chairman of the Regency faction, who named 1s committee who selected the delegates, fifth point of irregularity was passing a resolution g the minority of the delegates more ciphers at the ‘leaton Convention ; and the show of liberality in ad. g some hards is only sham, for a majority of the jegation controls the minority, and it is to act as aun. ther the minority will submit to be so controlled is Mer question ; but the irregularity and despotism of sir Such & resolution are equally the same. im dese several points, therefore, tho Regency Con- \tion is proved to be irrogular and contrary to demo- tic usage in this State, If there is any justice, thero- , or any fair’ play, in the Charleston Convention, the bio delegation ,°of the Regency faction will be rajoged, the regular deegates proceeding from tho organiza- of the other Cony. ‘tion, and selected by the people in F several Congressio Nal districts, will bo admitted, in ldience to the great pinciple of true popular sove- inty, not the squatter sey “reignty of which we hear auch. GROANS OF THE WOUNDED AND DYING—P@ANS OP THY VIOTORS—THIMBLE-RIGGERY ON THE WHOLE "SRIUMPHANT—VIEW OF THE FIRLD AFTER THE BATTLE—-WHAT THB DOUGLAS CLIQUE, THE DICK- INSON MEN AND CONFIDENCE CASSIDY ARB GOING reel Syracvas, Sept. 16, 1860. ‘The ‘banquet halls” are literally deserted this morn- ing, and those happy fountains where bad old rye and rot-gut Bourbon fertilized the flery hearts and imagina- tions of thousands of case-hardened democrats, are well nigh dried up. Cassidy, Cagger & Oo. scampered away to Albany last night with » Beelzebub halo of triumph around them which will radiate to-day or to-morrow in the columns of the veracious dulas and Argus. Richmond chuckled himeelf off with them, declaring that everything had gone ‘‘just right.” In the same train some forty half drunken patriots screeched and yelled their reeling carcasses into seats, simpering, fighting, swearing, laugh- ing or hiccupping into the initiatory gutter phase of ine Driety, according to the nature and habits of the individual. Cannon meanwhile were firing—probably as @ sign of ro- Joicing on the part of Syracusans to be well rid of sucha dangerous mob of incendiarics. Quietly stowed away in seats by themselves were Meesrs. Croswell, Mather, Schell, McIntyre and others of the hards. The two former are ili content with the result ‘of the Convention. Schell has more reason to be satisfled im consequence of the unusual, unexpected compliment which the Tammany Hall democracy have paid him in making him a delegate at large, in addition to one already selected from the city of New York. McIntyre is aleo a delegate, as well as his partner, Craig, of Kings. It ap- Pears certain, however, that the agreement which it was understood would be carried out in relation to the division of the Charleston delegation has not been strictly carried out. The Regency men say they could not doit. The hards themselves—that is the discontented among them— say they have been unfairly dealt with. Dickingon, who is still in Syracuse, entertains a brighter view of things, and declares that he is ‘‘satisfled with the action of his friends,” among whom he includes the right- minded men of both sections. On the whole, it is apparont that there will be an after-clap to what has been done, but that it out of the Pe ie disappoint y, and discountenanced. between the autocratic rule of the Cassidy clique, including the railroad interest, and those who, on the other side, prefor genuine demo- cracy to an “aristocracy of b! uards.”” The district system is the star of salvation for the people, by which y can defend their rights; and the usur| of the late Convention in pace ‘a delegation to Charleston will de resisted, and, if requisite, will create a revolution which must rend the democratic party of the State to Its:base. The closing scenes of the Convention were rich in details of interest, but they must be regerved for a letter. Ooch- rane was upon to speak, with a tumultuous uproar of applause and greeting, but illness prevented his com- plying wit the universal desire. Duncan Magee waved \dwills instead, and alternated gesticulations with Cen Rynders, who wanted, as usual, to baye the last word, ‘The Douglas clique in this State havo resolved upon a dodge to compensate them for the loss they conccive he has suffered by their not having been able to accomplish a coup d’éat in his favor in the Convention. It is to pit him against Seward at the coming fall election, and to induce him to stump the State in favor of tho Regency nominations. This, they think, will compel the minoriti in the delegation to Charleston to abide by the unit rul if Douglas should be the Presidential “nominee. It ig beyond a doubt, also, that the nominees for Btate officers are principally Douglas’s su] they affect to have a claim to his servi account. Nevertheless, as the gentlemen on the Re- gency ticket were compelled to re the nominations of the Mozart Hall men before er and Co. would use their slate, it may be that, if Douglas wishos to keep well with everybody, he will not see fit to be served in this way. The Dickinson men do not all feel bound to observe tho unit rule. They will adopt a plan of action among them- selves, and, a8 ny Perea &@ powerful and eeucen- trated minority in the delegation, hope to make capital by dividing the Regency party into factions, which will not prove very difficult, The latter are split up among them- selves, re are several Guthrie men in their ranks. Seymour's adherents are active and firm. A few are pledged to Mr. Cobb, Still another section of them wish to put forward Mr. Breckenridge. So that it may be feasible to enter a dividing wedge which will make the old bards masters of the situation once more. Cassidy and the Atlas are about to play a beautiful game.

Syracuse, Sept. 15, 1859. ‘The democrats having placed their State ticket in the field, and got fairly, or unfairly, through their Charles- ton delegation business, what next? Can they elect their ticket? I believe itto be the judgment of tho soundest Ppoliticiane—not of the democratic party alone—that should the Know Nothings, who meet at Utica on the 2ist, place in the field a ticket selected about equally from the demo- cratic and republican tickets, there could be scarcely a doubt but those selections would carry before the people. It is believed that they could cast for such a ticket from forty to sixty thousand votes, which would be enough to constitute them the balance of power. The idea has beon Suggested that the candidates thus selected by the Know Nothings from the democrats would suffer some from the repulsion of the foreign vote. Curious as the exhibition would be of the Know Nothings and the Irish and Ger- mans voting together, it is not believed by those who are presumed to be best prepared to judge that there is any sufficient ground for expecting such adverse influence. The foreign vote is at home in the democratic party, and where will it go if it leave that party? There is hardly a doubt now that the Know Nothings will make up an_ eclectic ticket from the other two parties. Thero is considerablo anxiety felt concerning their action, not only by the other two parties, but by the ‘canal men,” who are to hold a State Convention about a week thereafter. There is said to be a desire felt among the latter that the Know Nothings should make their selections particularly with reference to the known canal antecedents of candi- dates. The vote of the ‘canal men,” joined to that of the Know Nothings, would, it is believed, make the election of the candidates on whom they might agree entirely cer- tain, thus placing the canals in the hands of their friends, In this view of the case the canal record and antecedents of tho candidates in nomination become the subject of interest and scrutiny. Seemingly realizing the importance cing unmistakable on the canal question, the regolu- tions the Democratic Convention take strong canal ground, claim that the democrats are the peculiar friends of the canals, and point to a Bouck, a Bronson and a Flagg, as the founders of their faith. ‘The republicans profess scarcely less. Consequently, the-record of candidates will be all the more closely scrutinized. Mr. Jones (dem.) and Mr. Leavenworth (rep.) stand at the head of the fist. he latter is 80 closely identified with the Regency, tis avowedly in favor of selling the canals, and at the same timo hope to make @ good speculation by purchasing them, that he can scarcely hope to disconnect himself from it, or escape the influence which the fact is calcu- lated to exer}, Mr. Leavenworth may say he has been a good anal ay anid point possibly to something he has said and done some time or other. So can Thurlow Weed, who now advocates the salo of the canals and sup- ports Mr. Leavenworth as tho republican nomineo all in the same breath. There is an wngoundness in Mr. Leaven- worth’s case which must ve to damage him if it does not prove entirely fatal. Mr. Jones, his competitor, lives off the canals, but still in the very neighborhood deopest interested in our improvement system, for no part of our State or country derives ‘so many aud positive advantages from the canals as Now York. Mr. Jones has always been ranked as a hard democrat, and as such is claimed to be @ good friend of the canals, of the Bouck and Bronson gchool. It is not suspected that he is the peculiar friend or favorite of ben or body of men who propose either to sell or pure! the canals. Next we have Messrs. Church (dem.) and Denniston (feP,) opposed to exch other for the office of Comptroller. ir. Chas filled the office for the last two years, and 48 such has been a pretty good canal man. He has not at all times gone quite so far as some would have gone; but while he has shown a proper degrce of willingness to enlargo the canals, he has not forgotten that the means for paying the cost must be provided, which is much in his favor. While perhaps Mr. Church ‘does not come quite up to the standard of canal men of the extreme school ho is a thousand times to be preferred by every friend of the canals to his com itor, Mr. Robert Denniston, who is an anti-canal man of the Sam. Young school, and has a record sufficiently anti-canal to satisfy the most inveter- po radi ie orcas nat With sincere canal et ct cannot be a y to r ake: Mr Church oi Mr. Deon paceman which ir.

Brrscuse, Sept. 15, 1850. The smoothness with which the nominations were made by acclamation indicated a wonderful degree of unani- mity, As a general rule, such a state of things has been supposed to indicate a want of confidence in the success of the ticket. Men seek positions as candidates, as a general thing, in proportion as the chances of success are good or bad. The present may, however, be an exception. The renomination of the present democratic State officers, ex- cepting Mr. Tucker, was a foregone conclusion; to them there was no opposition. The rest had been sufficiently talked up outside, and it received nearly two-thirds of the votes. Mr. Skinner, for Canal Commissioner, was already on the Wood ticket, and his nomination wore the appear- ‘ance at least of concurring in the Mozart Hall proceed- ings. The scramble was brisk for State Prison Inspector. Mr. Cochrane claimed that the moral atmosphere of New York city would be benefitted by the location of that officer there. Captain Rynders concurred in that ‘view of the cage, and appealed to the Convention to bear witness that the scenes of yesterday authorized the belief that the prisons would, or should at least, recruit largely from that city. Mr. Elderkin was finally nominated, which ‘was also a concurrence in the Mogart Hall selection, though any such idea was repudiated. But the joke went round that Mr. Wood’s selections were proving highly popular. It ie said that Mr. Wood, on leaving last eveny ing, remarked that the regulars, whom he called the se- ceders, would be compelled to take his selections in or- der to disguise the poverty of their stre1 atthe polls. ‘Toone thitgn should be recorded as maa toe humors of the Convention. If we are to belicve a current and well authenticated rumor, Mr. Wood and his friends were not entirely har- monious. Last evening, when the Mozart Hall delegates had their business in the parlor at the Voor! House—which you will, of course, understand was simply the recording of Mr. Wood's will—Mr. John A. Green, who had bees Wood's assistant ita ae the begin- Teforence tothe Mozart Hall State (ee, which waa, of course, made up of Wood's friends, Wood presented ’the list; Green taking it, erased al but three or four ofthe names, and substituted those of own § and not altogether compliment words ensued. Green ventured the cmp Mayor bad a d—d sight too much to do in fixing things, an Soape the determination not to stand it. Wood was placid, and thought there must be some mistake. Green thought there was no mistake at all, and didn’t mean there should be any, and to that end was going to have the amended State ittee go forth as the only one authorized to act; and therefore Green’s selections ap- peared in the morning papers. ‘The Richmond gnd Cagger State Committee are retained, though a hearty attempt was made to make a change. ‘There was a general, wish to get rid of Cagger; but it was impossible. It can scarcely be demed that the harmony of the party—certainly its conventions—would be promo- ted, would Mr. Cagger suffer some one elge less objection- ablo to take his place, ‘The Murder on Staten Island. CONCLUSION OF THE OORONER’S INQUEST—VERDICT OF THE JURY, ETC. ‘The inquest in the case of Francis Ducharme, who was murdered on Staten Island some time ago, was resumed on Thursday evening at Clifton, before Coroner Vander- bilt and Justice Garrett, assisted by Mr. Vermilye. Cuffee Lang, (colored,) the first witness called, deposed as follows:—I reside at Clifton; on the night of the 2ist of August last I awoke and heard the cry of murder; went to the door; neither heard nor saw any one passing; my daughter sleeps overhead; she heard the cry; never heard any one threaten Ducharme. Mary Lang (daughter of Cuffeo Lang), testified as fol- lows:—Live in Clifton; on the night of the 2lat of August last was home in bed; heard the cry of murder twice while in bed; got up to look out of the window; heard or saw no one Passing. Margaret Parker, being duly sworn, d Jows:—Live in the capacity of nurse at sleep in the cottage near the road; on the nigt August was sitting in my bedroom, which faces the avenue; beard a cry of fire three times between ten and eleven o’clock; heard loud talking in the street; looked out. of the window to seo where the fire was; saw nothing, and shut the window; it was a dark night; did not recognise the voices; it sounded as if three men were talking; on Monday afternoon, the 22d, went to Ducharme’s; he talk- ed only in French when I was there; the coachman, cook and laundress slept in the cottage that night; do not know if they heard the cries. Ellen Linkenno, being sworn, testified as follows:— Ilive in Williamsburg; on the night of tho 2ist ult, left New York for Clifton, at nine o’clock; walked al the avenue; Saw some men quarrel on the sidewalk by Mr. Christie’s; heard loud talk; did not know who they ‘were; went home, and came back for candles; heard some one say ‘Come out, if you want a crack; the reply was, MT don’t want to fight, I want to go homes? whin I got by Kelly’s, heard acry of murder three times; ran home very much frightened; thought one of the persons was Tom Gaffney; am not sure; think there were eight or nine persons in the crowd that I saw; they were all talk- ing loud; it was near eleven o'clock; Anne Rush was standing an gate when I got home. Edward Mclidaff testified as follows:—Was at eton on the night of the 2ist; went from there to Father Lewis’ with Ducharme; parted’ with him at the gate about quarter past ten o'clock; did not see him again that night; somo bix weeks since a friend of mine, named Johnson, was passing along the avenue, about ten o’clock one night; he saw two men standit by the fence; one of them ap- proached him, returned to his companion, and said, ‘‘He’s not the man;’’ Mr. Johnson resembles Mr. Ducharme; I am acquainted with Ducharme; he gaid to me about a month before ho died that Dennis Keely had threatened his life and that he was afraid to be out at night late; Mr. Johnson lives in Jersey City now. Anne Rush, being duly sworn, testified as follows:—On Sunday night, the 2ist of August, was on my way from New York with Mrs. Linkenno; came out of the house with her to the gate; heard a pry of murder three times; seemed to come from the middle of the avenue; met Du- charme as we were coming from tho boat; saw eight or nine persons in a crowd; heard Mr. Ducharme, say “It’s very trifling, what's tho’ use of quarreling about it?” as I passed he nodded to me; the others to want to quarrel with him; have known Mr. Ducharme six years. Several other witnesses were examined, but their testi- mony was of little or no importance. The caso was then given to the jury, who, after some deliberation, returned @ verdict that ‘the deceased came to his death by violonce - the hands of some person or persons te the jury un- nown.

General Scott left here this afternoon for New York, and will sail in the steamer of the 20th for the Pacific. ‘The present delicate and complicated state of affairs at Ban Juan, growing out of General Harney’s moye- ments, requires great care and caution on the part of our government to prevent a collision, ‘The President, in conferring with General Scott in re- gard tothe matter, suggested the propriety of sending some one there who was less impetuous and more pru- dent than General Harney, General Scott at once inform ed the Presirent that he would go, and that assoon as his instructions were prepared he would be ready to start. ‘The instructions were partially prepared and considered in Cabinet council to-day. They will probably be com- pleted to-morrow, and forwarded immediately to New York. ‘The administration received some additional advices from General Harney, brought by the Star of the West. ‘There had been no material change, and matters remained in statu quo, ‘The administration have intelligence from California from sources entitled to credit that the democracy will sweep the State.

Wasuincton, Sept. 16, 1859. The late convention between Great Britain and the re- public of Guatemala has not excited ‘a renewal of angry controversy” between this country and Great Britain, as ‘was recently predicted by the English press. On the con- trary, both governments are still animated by the hope that their Central American differences will be happily ad- justed. The larger part of the Belize had never been the subject of actual survey, a was officially declared by Lord Grey in 1836; and the above mentioned convention, it is said, merely definitively fixes its territorial limits, which act was intended by Guatemala as a_ barrier ‘to British encroachments on its soil. This ar- rangement is claimed to be in accordance with the Dallas-Clarengon treaty, a clause of which to this effect, substantially consenting to such an arrange- ment, having been ratified by the United States Senate? while the treaty iteelf was. defeated by that body owing to a clause therein of an anti-slavery character. ‘The other points propased to be settled in the samc treaty, namely, with regard to tho island of Rnatan and the surrender of the Mosquito protectorate to Nicaragua, will be placed im charge of Mr. Wyke, the new British minister, and it is thought that these questions will be ad- usted by him to the satisfaction of all parties concerned, Great Britain having undertaken to remove the obstruc- tions to the full force of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. If any dissatisfaction exists itis because Great Britain has first settled the point which is of the most impor- tance to her; but sony of be the result of accident, Sir wrewmn sdara Qusvloy previously cought to sur render the Mosquito promote to Nicaragua, but in terms unsatisfactory to that republic.

Before Hon. Judge Davies. Sept. 16.—In the Matter of the Application for the Custody @f Ella Burns.—The answer to the writ of habeas corpus issued on Thursday was returnable this morning, anda large concourse of persons were in court to sec the little prodigy, but being ill, she was not able to appear. The father of the child is the petitioner, and he alleges that she is detained by Mrs. Martha Pollock, who states that little Ella was indentured to her, In answer to the petition, Mr. Laroque (associated with ex-Judge Edmonds), counsel for the lady, stated that it was impossible for them to produce the child in Court, as she was at that time suffering severely from at attack of croup, and her life would be endangered were she re- moved. Mr. Laroque read a certificate of Dr. Alexander H. Whiting certifying to the same fact. He stated that they were ready to put in areturn, and then take an ad- journment. Mr. Ashmead (associated with Mr. W. J. A. Fuller and Mr. Cook), for the father, said he would not object to a postponement, provir security were given for the pro- ducing of the child in Court. Various efforts had been made to obtain ession of the child by habeas corpus in other States, wien writs had always been eluded. They desired to haye some security that the child would not be removed from the jurisdiction of the Court. Mr. Laroque said be did not know upon what ground the counsel based his statements, as he was advised the only attempts that had been made te recover possession of the child had been by kidnapping. ‘The Judge said that could be st by the Court ap- pointing a pereon to take charge of the child and be re- sponsible for her custody. He would namo Mr. Harry Bertholf (chief officer of the Court) as sueh custodian. Neither party objected to this covrse, , Cook, also counsel for the father, asked if there ‘was any ‘objection to the father seeing the child? Mr. Laroque said he thought that matter should be left tothe discretion of Mr. Bartholf, as, if the child were to seo the father now, she knowing all the circumstances, and being more than ordinarily intelligent, it might have @ prejudicial effect upon her health. ‘The Court adjourned the matter till Saturday morning, when the formal return will be put in.

It appears that the men are paid on the Ist and 16th of every month, The second pay day transpired on Thurs- day, and the men, numbering about 400, not having re- ceived their money, left their work yesterday about 10 o’clock in the forenoon, They proceeded in a body to the vieinity of the slaughter house, a short distance from where the Northern road diverges, where they com- menced to put obstructions upon the track to prevent the paseage of the trains. A number of dirt cars were |. brought to the spot and turned bottom side up, and stones, sods and earth were then piled up until a formidable bar- rier bad been raised. ‘The first train of cars that came up was a way train from Paterson, and about one o'clock, P. M., the Cincin- nati mail train from Jersey City also came up from the other way. They were not allowed to remove the ob- stra 4 ‘Another train left Jersey City at half four, on board of which was Mayor Collard, of Hu City, Mr. Marsb, the recently aj ited Receiver, Mr. Burnett, stable Dunn, of Jersey City, a number of the employés of the road, together with several citizens. Upon arris at the blockade the train was brought to a standstill and the above named pergons proceeded in a body to remove the obstructions. This was a signal for the strikers to come down in a body of about two hun- dred, and the obstructions: were again replaced, whilo some of them excitedly demanded to be shown the man who first put a hand to removing them, and declared ‘that would not allow any train to pass until they received their money. There was no violence offered on either side. Mayor Collard and the railroad men remon- strated, telling them that the New York and Erie Com- pany had nothing to do as with the tunnel, and advising them to resort to legai means for redress.’ The strikers told Mayor Collard that they helped to elect him last spring, and he was the last man that ought to take a band inst them now, when they were only asking their just demands. The men set to work, and were about to block up the train in the rear to prevent them from returning [Marty ed but they were persuaded to desist, and allowed the passengers to return. At the time the train came up a signal whistle Sounded, and ne, agh and children ee - from all irections. person _ presen’ appeared to be a regular holiday with them. The train again returned about six o'clock to Jersey City. At eight o’clock, P. M., the Middletown way train and Cincinnati express train, which should have left Jersey City at 6:20, are stilihere. Many of the ngers have returned to New York, others have gone by private conveyances, and many are waiting their chances in the cars. Considerable excitement exists among passengers and citizens in Jersey City. One of the passengers on the Middletown train got out among the rioters and remarked that if he was an engi- neer he would go through if he had to use the contents of a couple of revolvers which he had about him. About fifty of the rioters gathered around this man and would have used violence if he had not been rescued by the pas- sengers. The trains have all been by the rioters to prevent accident, but that they id tear up the track and let the next train run off Eight o’cloock P. M. telegraph reports the track still barricaded. THE LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THR GROOND REGIMENT CALEKD OUT—VOLUNTEERE. Colonel Gregory has called out the Second regiment, and they are now assembled at their headquarters to hold themeelves in readiness for further orders. The compa- nies conaist of the Independence Guard, Captain Grain; Washington Guard, Captain Speer; Greenville Guard, Cap- tain Liliendahl; Close Guard, Captain Van Buskirk, and a section of the Hudson Artillery, with one field piece. Colonel Gregory and staff make the Hudson House their headquarters, awaiting further orders. It is understood that Mayor Collard made a requisition ‘upon the Sheriff of the county for a military force, but he being absent at the Rtate Fair the military could not act ‘until he had signed the requisition. ‘Colonel Gregory deemed it advisable to baye the mili- tary in readiness, and so ordered them out. It is algo reported that United States Marshal Rynders has been sent for. ‘There are several trains due from the West, which are detained on the other side of the obstruction, where their 8 are very fair for remaining all night. ‘A volunteer company ia also being organized to take part if necessary. It is understood from good authority that Mr. Marsh has gent a proposition to Marshal Rynders offering him $1,000 to render assistance, by which the mail may go thre ‘o-night. Should v. eee rortett $1. for the first failure, $2,000 for the second failure and their contracts on the third failure. Mayor Collard is in search of Sheriff Beatty, who, it is inti . i found 'Gy Hath pant Une 'G Stock wh. rege eu uk as the regiment for the night. * If the milk train, due here at half past ten o’clock, docs not get through, the railroad company will lose about $1,500. Mayor Collard was: unable to find the Sheriff, and Col. Gregory accordingly dismissed his command, ‘with in- structions to await further orders. The railroad company will, therefore, fail to despatch the mail before to-day— the trains will be detained, and the tunnel men still re- main victors. ‘Tae SreausmP Jason ov Tue Gatway Live.—This fine specimen of naval architecture, which sailed from this port on Thursday, has recently become the property of Mr. Lever, and now fiies the colors of the Irieh Trans- atlantic Line. She is not yet five years old, is one of the largest propellers afloat, and her model is considered ex. cellent. She is an iron vessel, and her dimensions are the following:—Length over all, 388 feet; length of keel, 304 feet; breadth of beam, 4234 feet; and depth of hold, 49 fect. Her registered tonnage is 2,664, and her burden 3,200 tons. Her engines are two cylinder horizontals. She is 400 nominal horse power. Her boilers are 6 in number and her furnaces 16; some of the boilers having 3 furnaces and the others 2 each. Her cylinder is 64 feet in length and 334 feet stroke. She is divided into 11 water-tight com- partments by 10 bulkheads. Her saloon is one of the finest in avy of the vessels on the Atlantic, and has easy and comfortable accommodation for 160 passengers. In the second class and steerage departments 650 more can be accommodated in @ manner proporijonably comfortable. She is rigged as a bark, her mainmast being the largest of any steamer excepting that of the Great tern, its cir- cumference being 116 inches. Her prow is ornamented by a massive figure of an i inary nature, representing the fabulous individual after whom she Js ni: and her exterior Sprain is handsomely finished. She has four decks and is 104 tons larger than the monster British tran- sport Himalaya. The Jason made one of the fastest pas- sages to India and back on record, where she carried 900 troops, considerably more than was ever taken the same distance in any single steamship. Her officers pronounco her a very fast ship, and promise to have her home in ten days. Altogether she does full justice to the reputation of the Lever line.
