Tun: Rout. CHARTER Srlnnrii.

The leviathan iron steamship Royal Charter, Capt Boyce, which put back to Plymouth on Saturday, cleared the Fairway buoy, at Liverpool, at eight o'clock on the evening of Friday, the 18th ult., and continued under steam until Saturday afternoon, when her screw was un- uhipped and she was put under canvass only. Meeting strong contrary winds, she got into the lliscay, and on Thursday week, near the coast of Portugal, experienced a tremendous hurricane from south-south-west, on conse- quence of which it was determined to bear up, and in the evening the screw was resliipped. The Royal Charter

registers 2,785 tons, and has on board, it is said, 2,830 tons of cargo and 600 tons stone ballast. This large freight causes her to be too much immersed at sea, and she took in water so freely, when encountering strong contrary winds, that all the second-class berths were un- tenantabie. The fear of Dr. Scoresby and the ship's surgeon assisted in inducin-_' Ctipl Boyce 10 I'0l|||'fl- The repairs of her covering boards and topsides and the dis- charge of a portion of her ballast will detain her at Ply- mouth about a week, lt appears. that the 600 tons of ballast were taken at Liverpool before the amount of car- go was known, ainl that goods came pouring in unexpect- edly as the period of departure approached. Her mana- gers, however, considered, that the narrowiicss of her beams would justify the reception of her present lading, as it would tend to stiffen her at sea. This calculation was carried too far. On the trial trip, she drew eighteen feet; she nmv draws twenty-two feet six inches. For- ward she is provided with an iron tank, containing 12,000 gallons of water. 'l‘lie iveiglit of this tank and that of the chain cable and anchors send the ship down by head, and consequently raise her by the stern, through which the operation of the rudder was very much reduced. and connected with another circumstance it became altnost useless. When the screw is unshipped, it is raised out of the sea a sufficient height to clear the surface, if she is properly laden. but with her present cargo she is so deep that one of the fans of the sciciv constantly acted as as fixed rudder, obstructing the progress of the vessel, ainl
