Till nany- thousands who pass daily up and doom the Tharncs, have had their curi- osity excited for some months pelt by the gigantic-looking strtrdunef iron which is gradually rising on its stilt, about our miles belowisoodon i a. locality familiarly ltnown'u:the Isle of Dogs,» where the river suddenly takes a sweep round‘ three-foot-the of a_ circle, en- closing a morass of more then a mile in breadth, the rcater part of which is several feet below ltghwater-mark, some of our‘ most extensive and eminent iron ship-build- ers have erected their factories. It is to one of these, at the southern extremity of the_ peninsula we wishtto nduct our read- ers. The works are of great extent, and cover a large area of grotmd, which here, -althou h so well suited to the operations earring on, and so close to the metropolis, is comparatively valueless for other pur-‘

ses. la Messrs. Scott, Russell 8:. Co. ‘at actory, iron ships and steamers of all sizes are bcin ‘constantly constructed; and the clank 0 tlr'ou‘sands_of hammers riveting red-hot bolts, and the heavy boorning sound of sledge and steam hammers, with the dense clouds of smoke and bursts of flame which meet the visitor as he approaches the wo a, must remind him; if he have any military experiences, r-fa,fie|d, whilst it indicates to all the cxtpnt and activity of the operations carried on within. The whole expanse of the interior of the factory is covered with sheets, and ribs, and bars of iron; ropes and ulleys, winches and shears, railways to acilitste the convey- ancd oflrrtsterials, and portable furnaces for heating the iron lts, are encountered at every turn;,and iron vessels, in every stage of progress-their stcrns' pointing towards the rivet-—_occupy the numerorrs buildin -slips. But our,busincss is with noneo these; and proccddingto ‘an inner _,y rd, with a wide_ fr-‘o towprds tlte rt’ l', we come upon the gigantic! iron steam- ship which is now being built for the East- am Steam Navigation Company.

The present appearance ofthis leviathan, forss yet she has received no name, is as unlike that ‘of‘1. ship as’-,l;_spr_be'imagi_ncd. Four or five lofty walls 0 iron, stacding some sixty feet apart, and supported by other transverse walls, would lead one to bslievo'that‘hero is the shell or framework of some enormoltsison warehouses about to be slrippcd.ofl'yto one of our colonies;-and it requires a considerable stretch of. the imagination to believe that these-walls form pq-trons of the interior of the hull ofa mer- ichaob-slip.-’ At one extremity of the yard stsadsa flag-stall‘, on which a Union-jack is hoisted, which, we are told, will lfe her stern; and at the other cxtrgm}ty_another, to indicate her bows; and between these two points is a space ot',nearly 700 feet in lengthl The project of building a ship of her extraordinary dimensions when tirst made public, created a; nod deal of discus- sion, snd, 1G I , ridicule. It was urged, that it',wou d be. impossible to con- struct a ship 59875 fee? in length of suffi- ’ at strength,-and that the first heavy see _she encountered would break her in two; ‘that nemport or harbour would have depth of water suflicient to float her; and that no amount of steam-power she could carry would propel beret an average speed.

of the hull, these longitudinal divisions will effect the further ohjr-ct of completely iao. lating and separating the coal, which will be slowed in the sides, from the furnaces, boilers, and machinery. which will be placed in the centre. The bulls are kept In their relative position to each other by longitudinal iron stringers or kcclaons, at intervals of5 feet; and in the event ofany accident occurring to the outer covering, the Inner lrull will be strong enough to in sure the perfect safety of the ship. ‘The bottom is flat for a distance of I2 (Fr 15 feet pither side ofthe keel, which, the way,‘ is on a line with the outer hullfi presents no obstruction to her lying p ctly flat, and without straining, on the floor ofn d--ck or cradle when repairs are needed. The iron-plates of which her hull and compart- ment are formed are upwards of an inch in thickness, 10 feet long, and weigh about halfa ton each. The lower part oftlrc hold will contain the ttrachinery, boilers, stores: coal, and merchandise; while the upper part will consist of three tiers of decks for the passengers, one above the other, and running the whole length of the-vessel. The lowest of these tiers will be at least 6 or 8 feet above the water-line, and the decks will be 8 feet apart, afl'ordirrg ample space for light‘ and venti|ation—thc latter being provided for by port-holes of large size, running at intervals along the sides, and which can he kept open in any weather. For greater security , there will be a strnng iron deck interposed between the furnaces and machinery below ad the passenger- departmcnt above, thus cutting ofl' all corn- tnunication. The sleeping-berths will be ranged round the sides, and there will be large saloorjslp the centre for each ofthe three decks, 60 feet in length, and of pro- portionate width. The upper-deck, which‘ covers all, will be flush from stetn to stem. This deck, which will add very materially to the strength of the hull, will be double, and slightly arched. Its construction will be cellular, like that ofthe ttthular bridge across the Menni Strait, and it will resist any amount of strain or concussion that can possibly be applied to it. The principle on which the ship is being constructed, is one which is now reeogniscdamong all practical and scientific tnen—namely, that the strength ofiron depends upon the plates beingplaced at right angles to each other; and the whole framework ofthc htrll has been arranged with a view to this object. lnlernally, it is a combination ofiron walls —-ten running transversely, two intersecting these longitudinally, and four crossing horizontally. All the walls are strengthen- ed still further at tlrejunctions by solid angle- irons; and the whole of this cellular ur- rangcment is enclosed in a double iron- casing or hull, which gives the enormous __rnass perfect rigidity, trrrd a strength which, we are assured, equals what it would be if formed of solid iron. The plates, although nurnbered by thousands, are all cut out, in the first instance, by means of wooden models in the moulding-loft; each oftlrcrn has its peculiar list or irrclinatiotr and shape, with the number of holes to be punched; and each ofthcm, as it leaves the rolling- mill, where it is guagcd to the sixteenth- part of an inch, has a peculiar letter and nrrtnbcr marked lcgibly upon it; and by means of this name, which the plate ever tilierwards retains, the workmen, on its arrival, know at once its position in the vast pile, and it proceeds straight to its destination. -

We now come to the ma hincry by which the vessel is to be pro llcd. She will be fnnnished both with paddle-whccls and a screw--the former, of a nominal power orrooo horses; the latter, oflu00 horses: but practically, the combined ‘power may be estimate-d.at 3000 horses. The paddle-wheel machinery is now being con- structed in the some building-yard, in which a shed bad to be built for the purpose of fitting and erecting the engines. Tire four

linders in which the pistons are to work

the largest in the world, and the cast- in sthelar cat that have ever been attempt- ‘rt one p cce. For each cylinder, about thirty-five tons of melted metal was re- qrrirr-d'; and when the dressing and cloaring of superfluous metal was accomplrshcd, they weighed twenty-eight tnns.each. Of these unwieldy masses of iron, three have been already successfully ‘cast, and without a flaw. For the 'c_au'rtrg's, an enormous iron coffcrdam was constructed in tho foun- ,' to a depth of25 feet; and after the mould had been properly prepared, into thislho contents olar.-veral caldrorss of trial- ten vnelal were simultancou-ly poured, and the castlttg made. Some idea oftlrclr great size may be fbrmcd when we state, that l ' in their sides on the ground, a man a hat on may walk through without touching. the upper side; and that a table and seats, calculated to accommodate ci ht- gen 's, wefwlttid in cm: of thcvw..

lions. To set in motion this powcrfullira’-‘

cltincrzy, there will be twenty and as many boilers, the smobeesrd waste steam of which will he carried '63’ by Eve funnels. The boilers and furnaces will occupy five of the central sixty-feet cont- pnrtments of which we have already gates, and tlreengincs will be placed in twooehera, The weight’ of the entire rnachiner will be about 3000 tons, and of the hul |0,000 tons-—making l3,000 tons. She will carry, in addition, several thousand tons of coal and merchandise, 1000 first-class, and GM second-class passengers, spd her measure- ment _cspacity gives her something like 25,000 tons burden! Notwithstanding her enorrnous dimensions, her draught of water will be comparatively small—-not exceeding 20 feet when light, and 30 feet when fully loaded. When afloat, she will present an appearance _very different from that of any merchangt-shrp yet built. She will car live or srx masts and five funnels, and ' resemble a huge tlrrce-decker, like the Ilukc of Wellington, only that she will be nearly three tinres the Duke’: length. The th_rec_dccks appropriated to passeu ers will will rise, tier above tier, to a heig t of35 feet out ofthe water; and the rows of port. holes will, at a little distance, present the appearance of a formidable battery of heavy artillery. At present, about halfof her hull has been completed: she will be ready for launching next year, and will be sent into the water, broadside in, upon two enormous ways. Her cost will be upwards of L.-100,000. .

Une of the great features in this gigantic wader- taking is, that the vessel will carry coal for the whole voyage out and home; and the quantity: required may be guessed at when we state that her voysuo will be round the worIsl.. ’I'|ts great cost of coal has hitherto been the obstacle to the profitable employment of steam-ships on long sea- voyagcs. Coal wrll be p t on board this levie- tlran at about 10s. per ton. while the cast oflhis necessary article at the Cape of Good Hope dud Australia varies from L9. ms. to L5 pet to say nothing ofthe irnpracricability at times

procuring s suflicient supply at any price, and the ‘

loss occasioned by the delay in cooling, «and the risk to the vessel. It is this which has hitherto prevented the ordinary class of steam-ships from ctrmpelitrll successfully with sailing-vessels is the Australian trade ; and at the present wternerrt there are only two stcanr-ships trading between nnland and Australia. run the whole way from England to Port hillip - witlrout stopping, unless short of water. or corn- pellcd to touch at some port from some other emergency. Another important object which the company expect to achieve by the eouetraction of this large ship is. that they will obtain a sped far superior to that ofsny vessel now sfiat. At the recent rnoetitrn of the British Association in Liverpool, Mr. Scott Russell demonstrated, that length was one of the essentials of speed; and he believes that it will be as cssy to propel this vessel at eighteen or twenty miles an hour. as one of the ordinary air and dimensions at twelve rrrtlcs an hour. Up to a recent period, not naval and tnnrcsnulo shtps were built wrth round blttf doc k’s-breast boos ; and when any sttaspt was

made to propel them at great speed, they heaped -

up a IlI(IltI.tl ufvtater before them, which no power of rails or steam could drive the meet through at .r rtnpld rare: in fact, the greater the attempted >pt-rrl, and the more powerful the machinery. the greater was the resistance. At length the idea suggested itself, of making the wstervlinss of the ship correspond with the waves of the sea. by means of which she should acntly and gradually divide the particles; instead of convex, therefore, tine hollow lines were aubatitutcd ; and the broadest part oftbe ship was gradually removed from near the bows to within a third of her length the Ilttln. This form, which completely reverses the old model. has within the last twenty years been universally recognized and ado '
