Prior to 1806 Brooklyn was a mero village. whose only communicetion with the great city of Now York way Gret by weave of scull or row boste, or eftorwarts, ferry bots moved by horwe power, This was forced at lergth to give way for steam, From tho progress slresdy mate in the a't of steam navi aetion, the lecturer thought boats would yet be built to run 24 miles an hour, (éppleuss) E> Ppasred an clegant tribute of prase to Mr. Tuomas Couyes, a8 one of our greatest living ship Duilders, The spesker roverted to the Great Kastorn as being viewed by the prople of this country, as one of tho grestert of mechanical failures, And while wo fool that she is « great fail Ure, we cannot but regret that she is ao, Why was she both » financial aud mechanical failure? The cWoulstions by which she was to prove profitabler ‘were based on having ber fall compliment of passen- Gers and freight on each trp. Hore she would be disappok ted, annelther parsongers nor freight would wait to accumulate to make a load for her, and « ewalior vesse! could makes trip and beck slmost while she weuld be loading, thus forciog ber if she would ecmpets, to earry freight at grostly reduced rates, Agein, mechanical y considered, whe was of « form to roll deep and heavy in the water, Her drought is ten fect too great, and by her pecullar construction, each cuble foot of water would mest the with foree of 64 pounds, Ther wind on ber enor- mous bull, would equ aty pounds tothe square foot, Ase procf of the force of the wind on ber, it fo anid, thas during the gale, whem abe lay at Holy- head, though to a great extent protected, soveral thousand bolts and rivets were torn from thelr places or broken, Bo she was not strong enough. ‘The speaker predicted that a model ship, fer ex- cording the Great Eastern, is size end build, will yet be launched from this country; but her keel will not be laid unt it bas been clu'ly demonstrated that it will pay. Porbeps a groatly increased trade with China end Japan may be the cause of yet prodveing, im tlile country, something grater than has ever lived in the feverish brain of Brunel.
