superior vessel of like dimensions at nearly one-half the cost. Some persons have said that she would be the last big ship that would be built, aud that vessels of from two or three thousand tons are the most suitable all things considered. We entertain, however, different opin opinions. - ions. opinions. The Great Eastern is worth going a long journey to see. Her promenade deck is nearly one-eighth of a mile in length, and her other great dimensions are not appreciated until a spectator stands at the stern and looks forward over the vast expanse covered by this floating steam city. We will now give some of the details of the voyage. The Great Eastern left Southampton ou Sunday morning, June 16th, at 8 A. M., and arrived at Sandy Hook, outside of New York Bay, at 7,20 A. M., on Thursday, the 28th ult. Al Allowing - lowing Allowing for the difference of time, the actual period of passage was 11 days and 2 hours; and, so far as speed is eon-corned,-may be considered a failure. Many bets had been made that the voy voyage - age voyage would be performed inside of nine days, and it was certainly expected by all that she would at least beat the Ad Adriatic, - riatic, Adriatic, Yanderbilt and" Persia all of which vessels had made the run in less than 10 days, with full cargoes aud a large number of passengers. To engineers and men of science, the operation of her engines is one of the greatest interest, for, otherwise, although much unblushing ink has been spilt on the subject, the voyage of this great ship differed in no respect from a hun hundred - dred hundred other Atlantic passages which have been passed by, "unsyllabled and un unsung," - sung," unsung," It is related that "the winds were fair, the skies were clear," and all nature smiled propitious to bring the huge vessel rapidly to the "Western land;" but she was "long in coming." The log of the chief-engineer, Mr. McLellan, has been published, and it is certainly the most instructive part of her history, in a mechanical sense. The distance run by chart was 3,694 statue miles, thus nearly averaging 866 miles per diem, or 14 miles per hour. The greatest run made in one day was 382 miles nearly 16 miles per hour at which rate she would have made the passage in- a little over nine days and a half; but this speed has becu equalled by the Adriatic The circumference of the paddle wheel ot the Great Eastern is 150 feet; the pitch of screw, 44 feet. The paddle engines made 164,326 total revolutions, and the wheels therefore traveled 4,668 miles. The screw en engines - gines engines made 533,024 total revolutions, and run 4,433 miles. In both cases the slip has been very great, but most in the paddles. Steam was carried at a press pressure - ure pressure varying from 15 up to 24 lbs. The total quantity of coals consumed was 2,877 tons. The engines never stopped for a moment during the voyage, which speaks well for their construction and operation. We must candidly admit, from the quantity of coal cousumed, she has done well; for the Persia, which is not one-fifth of the tonnage of the Great Eastern, frequently consumes 140 tons per diem. "Tubal Cain," (Mr. A. L. llolley) a correspondent of the New York Daibi Times, Avas a passenger, and has given a glowing and able account of the voyage. He states that the faring ot the boilers was often very defective, so that, so far as it relates to the question of speed, according to the fuel consumed in proportion to the mass ot the vessel, the Great Eastern is a success without a cargo. On the other hand, if she had been loaded with freight, she would un undoubtedly - doubtedly undoubtedly have consumed a much greater tity of fuel. The horse-power of the paddle-wheel engines, as taken by the indicator, was 3,676 II. P.; that of the screw engines, 3,676 H. P.; total, 7,352 H. P. The vacuum maintained in the engines was 25 1-2 inches; that of the screw, 27 inches. In J. Scott Russell's work on the steam engine, he maintains that a vacuum may be too great some sometimes; - times; sometimes; and this may account for the de deficient - ficient deficient vacuum in the paddle engines which he built, in comparison with those of the screws which were built by J. Watt; but most engineers have a totally different opinion. These facts will be useful to engineers in forming their own conclusions as to the mechanical effi efficiency - ciency efficiency and success o..the great ship. It must not be forgotten, in making the es estimate - timate estimate of what she has done, that her displacement of water is 25 feet in depth by 83 in breadth, which would make 1,681 square feet of her submerged sec section. - tion. section. Her total displacement is 25,000 tons, while that of the Persia is 5,000; and the latter requires about 3,000 horse power to make the same speed. The model of the Great Eastern is exceedingly beautiful. -No more grace graceful - ful graceful hull ever floated on American waters. She has the hollow bow on the "wave line" principle, explained on page 354 of our last volume, and her stern is of the round clipper pattern, which we have copied from that once maritime peo people, - ple, people, the Hollanders. Her lines are so fine, and proportions so harmonious, that she has been justly admired by all, and for these features J. Scott Rupsell deserves the entire praise. She has six masts, a stack of funnels, and a vertical bow without a sprit upon it a wise ar arrangement - rangement arrangement copied from Collins' steain steain-'ers. - 'ers. steain-'ers. There is one particular point of inter interest - est interest to us connected with the steering ef this vessel, which has been overlooked by most persons, namely, the local mag magnetic - netic magnetic action "of such a mass of metal in the hull, engines and boilers, upon the compasses. There is a great discrepency between the travel of the engines, afid the. actual distance across the ocean, which is only 3,190 miles to Southam Southam-ton. - ton. Southam-ton. She was stopped at one period to adjust the compasses, and it is well known that unless they operate correctly she cannot be safe to navigate. That she has come safely is proof positive that the compasses are peculiar; for the com common - mon common kind, we believe, could be trusted. We understand that the compasses used are an American invention, which has been patented both in the United States and in England, and they have been ap applied - plied applied without the consent of the paten tees. This involves an interesting ana knotty novel feature in international law connected with patents; and no doubt it will take considerable legal acumen to unravel.

Lucas Market was the place of the grand reunion, and we are assured that the front of the procession had debauched into the latter, before the rear entered Fourth. This will give some idea of its magnitude, when we state fh connection with it, that the route embraced Chestnut street to Fourth, Fourth to Franklin avenue, Franklin avenue to Ninth, Ninth to Olive, Pine, Chesnut and Market, entering Lucas Market by each of the four streets, every delegation of the twelve or fifteen which constituted the procession, headed by its own spirit-stirring band. Arrived there, the scene was magnificent. Uefore and all around the speaker's stand which, by the way, was brilliantly decorated stretched and surged a sea of fire, from which the banners and transparencies rose like the masts and sails of ships, while the whole was surrounded by dark masses citizens who had not participa participated - ted participated in the- demonstration, but most of them sympathized with its objects.

The speaking, owing to the lateness of the hour, devolved solely on Mr. Blair. We but repeat the unanimous verdict, when we say that Dever in his life did he acquit himself better. The explicit dec declaration - laration declaration of his political views which he made, rendered the contrast between him and his opponent, who does not dare to say for whom he will vote for President, exceedingly forcible, and on less flattering to Mr. Blair's supporters than to himself, whose candor, sincerity and manhood show most advantageously by the side of Barret's moral cowardice or duplicity.

Central Africa. Perhaps it may be safely said, that in no respect is public opinion in this country about to be more thoroughly revolutionized than in it3 estimation of the condition and prospects of Africa, the character and capacities of its various races. t In regard to these points we have judged of Africans generally by the inhabitants of the gold coast, who sell their children to the slave traders. We have scarcely imagined that beyond these were powerful communities, not only elevated above this state of barbar barbarism, - ism, barbarism, but dreading contact with it. Yet so it is.

The time for toil is past, the night has oome The last and saddest of the harvest-eyes: Worn out with labor long and wearisome, Drooping and faint,- the reapers hasten home, Each laden with his sheaves.

I know these blossoms, clustering heavily, With evening dew upon their folded leaves, Can claim no value nor utility; Therefore shall fragrancy and beauty be The glory of my sheaves. So do I gather hope and strength anew; For well I know thy patient love perceives Not what I did, but what I strove to do; And though the full, ripe ears are sadly few, , Thou wilt accept my sheaves. IfUstcllaniT. The Tried Housekeeper: OR, COUSIN MARY'S DREAM. "There, the last baby is asleep, and I hope I shall have a chance to breathe," exclaimed Mrs. Hewitt, throwing her herself - self herself into an easy-chair beside the work work-table, - table, work-table, where her cousin sat reading. "No; I have forgotten William's dressing-drown and slippers. And the tried wife rose with a sigh, and wearily brought these comforts from the closet of an adjoining room. A faint smile of pleasure stole over her features, as she wheeled her husband's chair around, placed the slippers just right, anl then the dressing-gown gracefully across the chair. "Please, ma'am, will you step here a uiinit?" called Bridget, from the hall. "What shall we have for breakfast, please?" she asked, as Mrs. Hewitt closed the parlor-door behind her. The poor mistress was so weaned by the cares of the day, that she could not, just then, recall the contents of the larder, and a journey to the basement, and sundry orders to Bridget, consumed the next quarter of an hour. "Maniina, mamma, Minnie wants a drink," called out a little voice from the nursery, j ust as Mrs. Hewitt again opened the parlor door. "Oh, dear! exelaimed Mrs. Hewitt, "there is no rest for me." Yet she Was a tender mother; so she ascended the stairs, gave the child a drink, soothed her to sleep, carefully tucked the bed clothes around all four of the little sleepers, (the eldest but ten,) and descended noiselessly to the parlor. Ihe sight ot her cousin, seated in an arm chair, by the blazing parlor grate, book in hand, effectually destroyed the feeling of happiness which a mother's love was rousing in her heart; and Mrs. Hewitt was not the happy wife and mother, but the mere domestic drudge, toiliDg her life away for. others, all un un-thanked. - thanked. un-thanked. Mrs. Carleton, the cousin guest, was a few years older than Mrs. Hewitt. She was a widow, and childless. Her countenance had an expression of deep sadness, when in repose; but a desire to make others happy, aud an abiding sense of the unerring wisdom of her Heavenly Father, made her so habitually calm and cheerful, that strangers little dreamed how much sorrow she had known; and even friends were not aware of the effort it sometimes cost her to pre preserve - serve preserve a calm exterior, when some trivial circumstance would touch one of the se secret - cret secret springs of memory, and lift the floodgates of sorrow, submerging the soul in grief s bitter waters. Like others, Mrs. Hewitt was deceived, and, unmind ful of her own greater blessings, almost envied her gentle cousin her changeful life and abundant leisure. "How do you like 'The Land and the Book,' cousin, dear?" asked Mrs. Hewitt, once more seating herself at the shaded gaslight, while Mrs. Carleton laid aside her book, and took up her knitting work. "William brouglithome that volume," said Mrs. Hewitt, "when it was first pub lished, more than three months ago, and I have not yet found time to read two chapters; but you know over-workea housekeepers have no time they can call their own; 1 sometimes feel that 1 am in -a state of intellectual starvation. Our means are limited, and we can keep but one servant; so I must be nurse, gover ness, ad chambermaid, besides superin tending the kitchen affairs; and worn out in body and mind; and as I look in upon you, now and then, during the day, I almosA envy you the quiet leisure you enjoy. But I never have a moment for culture, and probably never shall have; it is toil, toil, all day, and even the nights are full of care." Mrs. Hewitt sighed deeply, while dark cloads of dis discontent - content discontent and repining rested on her brow. "You have a kind husband and a pleasant home, Emma," said Mrs. Carle Carleton, - ton, Carleton, gently. "Yes; but I get so wora out with care and toil, that I sometimes think 1 will eoax William to board for a while, at least till I can get rested," replied Mrs; Hewitt. "Boarding would only bring you less enjoyment, and added care," remarked Mrs. Carleton. "Perhaps so. There is no way for me but to toil on till I die; so I may as well try to be contented." And Mrs. Hewitt sighed again, and bent her head down over her work, to hide the starting tears. Mrs. Carleton was troubled. She had been pained with frequent expressions of repining and discontent, during the

she is propelled by the combination of paddle-wheels at the sides and a screw at the stern. With regard to her mag magnitude, - nitude, magnitude, some contend that this exceeds Noah's ark; but be that as it may, we know that the clipper ship Great Repub Republic, - lic, Republic, the frigate Niagara, aud the steamer Adriatic all fully loaded would make about a fair cargo, if taken within her capacious sides. She can carry 4,800 passengers, with good andfull accommo accommodations; - dations; accommodations; or an army of 10,000 hien, in a superior manner to any troop ship. This great ship was planned by the late distinguished engineer, Mr. I. K. Brunei, upon the most rational grounds of success. In the great and increasing trade between England and Australia, it was found that common steamships were incapable of carrying cargo or com competing - peting competing with sailing vessels, owing to the great amount of coal required for such long voyages. JBruuel calculated that a large ship could be built tc carry suffi sufficient - cient sufficient coal for the entire round trip and at the same time make quick passages, take a great number of passengers, and a good paying cargo besides. He there therefore - fore therefore designed the Great Eastern (about 1S53) with these objects in view; and a company of wealthy merchants in Lon don was formed to furnish the capital to complete the project. To J. Scott Russell was given the contract for build building - ing building the- hull; in 1S55 the first jlate was laid at his works in Millwall, London; and in November, 1857, she was ready to be launched. Great mortification was experienced on Nov. 2, when 'mid a crowd of princes, potentates, savans, and a great array of wealth and fashion that had assembled to witness the mighty event of the "leviathan" ship rushing like a mountain from its fastenings into the obedient waters of the Thames the iron mammoth, like a baulky horse, re refused - fused refused to obey the reius of the driver; and it cost no lass than 400.000, and constant labor from that day till Jan. 31st in the subsequent year, before she was floated in the river. When launched, her entire cost was 3,831,520, which exceeded the original estimate by 1,500,000, and yet she was then totally unfit for sea. Tne Great Eastern is now fitted with eight engines for propulsion, namely, four for the paddle-wneels, and the same number for the screw. Their united nominal power is about 4,000 horses. The cylinders of the paddle engines are each 74 inches in diameter, and the stroke is 14 feet. Ihese were illustrated on page 264, Vol. XII. (old seiies), of the Scientific American. The screw engines have cylinders of 84 inches bore and 4 feet stroke. The former were built by J. Scott Russell; the latter by J. Watts & Co., of Soho. The work workmanship - manship workmanship is excellent, but they are uot up to the latest improvements.' It takes about 250 tons of coal per diem to sup supply - ply supply them, and if this great ship were to be built over again, totally different en engines - gines engines and boilers would be put in. With all her machinery, her weight is 12,000 tons 8,000 being the weight of the 30,000 plates of iron and rivets in the hull. On August 8, 1S59, the Great East Eastern - ern Eastern was pronounced completed for her trial trip, and on that day a grand ban banquet - quet banquet was given on board by the direc directors - tors directors of the company. She did not, how however, - ever, however, finally depart until the 7th of Sep September - tember September last, when she made a very suc successful - cessful successful coasting trip of two days, but she met with the unfortunate accident of having her water-feed jacket burst, whereby five firemen were killed and several others severely wounded. This event was the result of blundering care carelessness, - lessness, carelessness, and caused considerable dam damage - age damage to the boilers and main saloon, be besides - sides besides the deaths of the workmen. Just about this period her great designer, Brunei, was also breathing his last in London, and despondency seemed to settle down upon the public mind. Disagreements now arose among the di directors; - rectors; directors; and Scott Russell was charged with improper workmanship in fulfill fulfilling - ing fulfilling his contract. The directors, how however, - ever, however, were men of great capacity; their motto was, "never say fail;" so they raised some more money, and on went the alterations aud repairs, with a tenacity -of purpose and determination of will which does infinite credit to Uncle John Bull'. And now, since the Great Eastern has actually arrived, she represents a snug little capital of about 4,000,000, which has been expended upon her; and if any person ever expects her to be a "paying institution," we say, with tho Moslem, "Great is thy faith, O son of the wilder wilderness!" - ness!" wilderness!" Her present commander is Capt. J. Vine Hall; her former commander the esteemed Captain Harrison having been drowned on the 21st of January last, at Southampton. Although we cannot but regat-d the Great Eastern as a failure in payability, yet she is not so in a scientific sense. She ia a grand experiment; and the knowledge which has been acquired in her construction, we do not doubt, would

here thinking, till I fell into a sort of jraking dream. I thought it was winter; snow lay on the ground, and the chill wind whistled without; but we were warm, and well and happy in this pleas pleasant - ant pleasant home. The long winter evenings were passed in reading aloud, and quiet chat, though that piled up work-basket was your ever present companion. "One night we were roused from sleep by the choking cry and hoarse cough of our baby pet, and when the morning dawned, the little sufferer lay still aud cold in death." "Oh, my precious baby!" exclaimed 3Irs. Hewitt, bursting into tears. "Don't, Mary; pray don't tell any more I cannnot bear it!" "You promised not to interrupt me. I must go on," said Mrs. Carleton, calmly and resolutely. "Two weeks of sadness and sorrow had scarcely passed, vhen Charlie and Min Minnie - nie Minnie both lay scorching with scarlet fever. Oil the day they were laid beside their baby brother, Emma, the first-born, and only remaining, sickened, and in another short week she too had passed away. -How still and lonely the house was then; how few cares were yours, and how j ou tried to make yourself very busy, that you might not have time to think that you might live for him, the best beloved, who, more than ever, was your earthly all! "Winter passed slowly away, the glo rious summer time, that season once so joyous, was now gloomy and sad; and then, too, the dearest and the best was suddenly prostrated by disease, and after a brief season of suffering, went to his children, and you were alone! Oh, the terrible agony that rent your heartstrings! -words cannot describe it. But you lived, because you must, though life was all dark, all gloom! Your pleasant home passed into to the hands of stran strangers, - gers, strangers, aud you, with all the multitude of warm hearted, sympathizing friends, with a cordial welcome everywhere, yet with desolated affections and bleeding heart, felt that you were 'alone, all alone, in the wide world!' "What to you was abundant leisure for improvement? There was no incen incentive. - tive. incentive. You tried to be grateful for the love of friends, tried to , make others happy, tried to bow submissively to the Father's will but you were not neces necessary - sary necessary to the happiness of any, and the sweet voices of the loved and lost were ever echoing along memory's halls, and re requiem - quiem requiem notes of departed happiness. Emma, dear cousin, thank your Heav enly Father that it was all a dream!" Mrs. Hewitt s convulsive weeping had gradually subsided into deep sobs before Mrs. Carleton finished her narration, and she now sat looking like one who had re really - ally really been bereaved. Mrs. Carleton raised the bowed head, and kissed her tenderly. "I did not wish to pain you thus, dear Emma," said she; but only by death can a wife and mother be released from her many cares and duties. Bear your trials patiently, and be thankful that you have so many sweet motives for exertion. Just then, Mr. Hewitt's well-known footsteps were heard, and with a loud cry, Mrs. Hewitt sprang into the hall. "Oh. William, I am so thankful you are at home safe!" she exclaimed, clasp ing him in her arms, and bursting into tears. "Why, Emma, what has occurred to distress you so?" asked her husband, leading her into the parlor. Receiving no reply, he looked inquiringly at Mrs. Carleton. "I am the occasion of these tears, and perhaps you will blame me," said Mrs. Carleton, but I feared Emma did not fully appreciate her blessings; if I have done wrong, forgive me. I will leave her to explain;" and taking a lamp, she bade them good night," and ascended to her chamber. Till a late hour that night they sat side by side, that husbaad and wife, while she recounted "Cousin Mary's Dream," and fully, and with many tears, confessed her murmurings and repinings under the pressure of her burden of care and labor. "I cannot lighten the burden of care and responsibility, dear wife," said Mr. Hewitt, tenderly; "but the labor can be done by others. I did not know you were overtaxing yourself so much." "We cannot afford it," objected the wife, "the burden will not seem so heavy now." "We will economize in some other di direction; - rection; direction; your happiness is very dear to me, Emma." "I know it, William, do forgive me Yet I did not blame you. I see it all
