THE ATLANTIC STEAM SHIPS.

Extract from a work recently published by Captain Maclrinnon, ll. '. :—(CmicIuded.)

I cannot refrain from calling the attention of steamship builders of England to the use- lessness, and even absurdity, of a heavy bowspi-it upon a vessel that mainly depends upon her steam. It would be considered an absolute absurdity for either of these ves- sels to attempt to beat to windward. Be- fore the wind, there is little doubt that the Collins would run the Ctinard out ofsiglit in it dozen hours. The vast and lieuvy bowsprit of the Cunard line is tlir-it-tot-c an absolute e-xcrescence—a bow-plunging, speed-stopping, money spending, and ab- surd acquiescence, in old fashioned preju- dices about appearance, and what the old school attempt to swamp all argument by condemning as not ship shape. Pslttttrl

what confounded stuff’! This is the sort of

feeling that Pi-events iriipi-oveiiieiits, and allows Brother Jtinatlian to build the tinvst seagoing steoniers iii the world, which the Collins liners undoubtedly are.

As some slight proof of this assertion, let me describe what took place in the Bat- tic on the 6th and 7th of November, I852, on the passage to England, in about latitude 48 deg. N., longitttde I8 W. It ItiA. M., on the former day, this vessel was proceed- ing with full power, at the rate oflliii-teen knots, the engines making sixtt-eii revolu- tions per minute. At this time it slight brt-cze was blowing from the southwest, with It slight swell from the eastward. About noon the swell iricreuscd, and it very dense, dark, cnppery, sky was perceived at the starboard bow, bearing soutlt_eost. The barometer, which had been cat-efully noted, had been gradually sinking for thirty- six hours, but still the eoutliiiost wind ever and anon breathed hotirsly into rind filled the flapping canvass. The stormy indica- tions in the southeast gradually increased in intensity as we ruslit-d forwtird at the great velocity bofore descrilit:tl—iiaiiiely, thirteen knots. At 2 P. M., the l)Ill‘0ll]t*It'l‘ —that l'aitlit'ul and vitlutible inoiiitor—snrik considerable. Captain Comstock, the ex- perienced commrindcr, invited lllt; into his cabin, and began to discuss the now clear indications of an approaching storm. I-‘rum tlte various signs afforded by changes in the directions of the wind, swell of ocean, de- sccnding gloss, and other inftillilile tokens, known only to experienced S(‘!llllen,

w speedily came to the coiiclusiun that the ;

Baltic was tipproacliing the course of an Atlantic cyclone. Front the position ofthe vessel and her rapid itiotioii we mutually agreed that the easterly breeze which had suddenly set in, clearly indicated that we were rapidly approaching the northern edge ofthe cyclone. This will be plainly untlr-1'- stood by the lundsmen and unitiatr-d when I explain that the cyclones in the northern hemisphere revolve against the sun with a progressive riiotion towards The easterly breeze, therefore. could only strike the ship in its northern extremity. If she had been, for instance, at the southern extremity of the rotatory storm, it is clear that the wind would have been south-west until the vortex was passed, when the south-eastern course of the circu- lar or whirl-wind storm would have struck the ship.

Although, we were confident that our.

theory was correct, yet Captain Cornstuck, like a prudent careful and able command- er, as he is, made every preparation to withstand the worst weather. At this time

the barometer had sunk lower than lever .

experienced, (28 40,) even in the most fu- rious etortiis, and the g_ii-utory llI(illt.'I‘I of

the tortured and fragriii-riled cltitltls iii the V

south-cast showed to the practised (‘yes of the Iceman that a fearful war of the ele- mco_te was going on in that direction. The eastern swel was now rapidly raising into a heavy and perpendicular sided sea, whose solid-looking curly tops threatened destruc- tion to all that opposed their headlong course. The wind likewise inert-list-d in strength, urging on the too willing waves, until they were lashed into apparent des- tructive fury. t us ascend the bridge, between the ddle boxes, and try to describe this sub- ime scene. A furious girls was raging, and wind and waves combined were buried with gigantic force against the poor Baltic. To avoid rushing madly against the fierce watery barriers, the eiigiiit-ii were sliiclted to nine revolutions, and the brave vess--l still held her course at the rate of eight ltnote. Although the heavy sputindrift Ill.“ moment drenched everything exposed, still the ship held on with the most exti-iiorrliiiary ease. At intervals a m--untain would ap- pear approacbing, giving the idea (otten felt by the most experienced.) ofa gathering power in advance that nothing could with- etand. Onward it rolls so high that frtiin your elevated poeitionlthc horizon is con- ceaIed—-it is upon us with e crash-—nothing can avoid the avalarich of water--the deche ere inundated tbrc—end-a_tt.

Agiiiii and again did this happen ; and al- though we were drenched to the skin by the i-ponndrift, we were-tiiiicinated bv the won. derful triumph ofthe ship's course over the ntadly-vexed waters, and remained in our exposed situation spell-bound at her easy performance over such rough ttnd fortui- dsble obstacles. lace a Cunard liner, or any vessel, in this position «iii the pi-est-nt lIIlf‘S of Etiglisli l‘(‘l"IIII FI(‘lIlIl€"S, and Illt‘V would -hip tons and [ring (.3 w,.i..,-_ 11,}. liettvy bows, buw-spi-it tttitl till, would plunge into the sea with I! crash rind a bring that would slinke ttnd—strain the ship to her centre. On raising her forefoot from her watery bath the biiwsprit enveloped with thegear, would visibly bend with the jerk. This is the nlflgilt ditfercitce be-tn-t-r-n the ocean steamers of Iinglaud end Atiieriui, rind we strongly tidvise the builders ol'En- glnnd to wake tip from their It-tliiii-gy, hnlf composed of prejudice. I tell them tigtiiii plniiily (however unpleasant to iiiy-elf) that there are no 0Cl;‘lllI Flt-'Ill|IeI'B in England comptti-able with the Baltic. tiit the fashion in England, amongst a certain class, urihnppily tun numt-rou.i_ to shake their middle: when these steuiiiers are meiitinncd. ‘'Oh,’’ say they, “these stvunit-i-s ore flll to Iieces; ilI('y will be dune up in it short time ; they won't puv.” I beg to di.-abuse their niitids—tlie iiiiiids oftill persons in England who bore not had Slll‘ll nn opportunity its mine to judge for themselves. These steamers are as good and us stron as ever; they are as well nlficered and manned as any ships afloat ; they treat their passengers with us much, or more, civility, and attention tiitin tiny other line; and, finally, their food and wine, and all arrangements of the table, (at least in the Baltic.) tire as good as any person can require, even if spoilt by the Sy- btirite luxuries of the great metropolitan cities ofthe world.

The last day’s steaming of this beautiful vessel wire the absolute poetry of motion. At 3 o'clock, P. M., she was otfthe wett- erii extremity of Ireland, exactly three hundred miles front the light vessel, at the entrance ofLiverpool harbor. The weather was beautiful, a light breeze from the north cost, just sullicient to ruflle slightly the gloss-like surface of water. Onwards she rushed with headlong speed, lier poiiderous engines revolving tit the rate of nineteen ,' rcvulutions ti minute. So clear and beati- ‘tiful wits lier shape, that site appeared to

glide tlirougli the writer leaving hardly ti ‘ripple beliiiid. Nuincrous steam vessels, lliltewise running up the Irish Channel, i were passed as if at anchor, and, in :2‘.'§ , hours ti-uin making the land on the previous 1 allot-iirioti, she had achieved the tlirce liiin- ‘drcd miles that separated her from her § home.

Render, this is a wonderful performance, and what. I fear cannot be riialled by any l Englisli vessel at present. The wiiule i thing is obvious to the meanest understand- ; ing, and may clearly be traced to the une- ‘, qutilled beauty of the model. The English i engines are allowed by the Atiiericuns to be isupeiior. VVliy, tlierefore, should we al- { low Brother Juttntlian to bettt us on our { own element. The reason is plain enough, iand patent to the whole world: and is summed tip briefly in one sentence: The Britisli model is/at‘ inferior to the .9in»i't'can. I say this in sorrow, rind jealously ; and iii- jvcstignte calmly and dispassionately this mcmentuous question. 'lien once enquiry ‘ is that-ouglily orousid in England, I do not four the resitlt. ll, litiweiri-, nbstiiiiit-_v and pride art: ulluwid tn blind our ship- builders they will riclily merit the fate that will inevitably befall them—nanicly, to he soundly beaten by American naval archi- tects.

We arrived at Liverpool in ten days and a hall‘ from New York, during with time the en iiies were never stopped, and not the slightest accident happened.

YANKEE GIRLS.

The independence of the Yankee girl he- ine art the early stage of biiitrdiug-school ife; with the choice of her books iI(‘l'

dancing muster, tifltur congregation, of her minister. She makes no mystery of hi-r predilection for her teacher, because he is a “spruce, good-looking fellow :" for her preacher, because he has “such very ivliite liniids." She subscribes to cotilli-in parties, shines oil‘ at fancy lnirs, takes the purse gullniitly oil‘ her admirers at flower auctions. She walks home at night from her routo, arm-in-arm with her favotirnte partner. by moonlight, on the shady side ofthe road. She steams ofiup the Hudson, down the Ohio, and comes back none the worse for the exercise and the excitement. Not the slightest shade of uneasiness at home on account of her protracted absence. She introduces a “travelling friend" to the old lady, who sits down to make tea tiir him ; finally she coolly informs her parents mg; ghg in. bag; " popped It," and that

her lied trade. In: irate-. I-I-N. IIO.

It is but justice to say, however, that this unbounded latitude is seldom, ifever, attended with inischsvious results. Tlionlts perhaps, merit, to premature experience, or the popularity of marriage in those wide-spresd- ing settlements, the American young lady is seldom’ at a loss for a well-intentinned suitor. She vsr early acquires the calcit- lating habits otythe country. She is her Hwn GIIPIIIIH and cliiiperrin. She learns: to value hi-r ltfilllirerti according to their worth Ht-r tai.cy and heart are always under the control of reason. Romance is all very itell in books, but marriage is a rrmtter of prose. Nowhere are most ab- surdly disproportionate matches more uni- versally the order of the day ; noiihere is Mamuion more invariably tht-torch-bearer til'Hytni-ii, tliiin among these vet-_i diiii st ls tltetiis-elves, “hose choice is so utti rly free from put-eiitul control. Before she It-itvee school, it Ynnltee girl has it tli--rough and perfect knowledge ofthe world. Else what were the good of the million ofrievt-ls she feasts upon ? Her look is proud and daring ; her steps firm tind secure. Modesty she scoriie as want of siticerity and frankness ; delicacy she spurns, as a luck of proper spirit and independence.

\\ith the exception of a fr-w hit.-ltless words, excluded from the English rlictii ii- nry |-y nn tiveiriice notion ofpi-udi-ry_ for it list of tlit-iii vide “ Sttm blick," there is hardly ti subji.-ct ofconversatiuit she would (il'€llIII of r-cliuking or disciiuntenancing, By this early training is she fitted for every department of public life ; ready to enter the lists as an orritor, an agitator, or I. journalist, The wide world is the stage she acts on.

Man fags himself into a dyspepsia at his counter; worm-iii-eads, flirts ntid gives lierselfairs, in all the luxu- ics ofa hired drawing-room. So much for Eve’s share of the common lot of mortals.

THE JEWISH MISSION.

The Jews are in such it state ofalartn just now, in re ard to the zeal and success of Christian missions to the Jews, that they are busy circulatingerroneoue ‘reports 0 the expenses and results ofthe missionary woi-k. In the first place, it is known to all supporters of the Jewish mission that the Jerusalem bishopi-ic has nothing to do with the Jewish mission ; it is entirely a separate institution. And its to comparing the ex- penses of the mission with the work that has been done, the unreosonttblencss of this will be manifest when we say that some thousands of Jews have already been brought to the knowledge of Christ by the insti-uinentality of the “London Society ;’i that each well-established station numbers its converts by fifties and hundreds ; and a great spirit of inquiry has been excited amongst the Jews; and that the Vl"or-d of God in Ilelirew, and Christian tracts, have been so widely circulated amongst the Jews, that there is scarcely ti town or village on the Continent in which Jews reside in which the mission has not left some marks ofite efficacy. These are, we contend, results not to be compared with the means expen- ded in achieving them. With reference to the Jerusalem mission in particular, al- though only about 50 converts have been made there since the establishment of the mission, the Jewish rabbis are in such a state of alarm, that they have written to their bi-ethre-it throughout the world to help tlit Ill ; iitiii-t-ivisi-, tlii- stiy, “ the citadel of Jutluisiii will Itill.”—b'luii.lurd.
