A eevere lllneea prevented his being present at the first triumph SU'riS&w wtaAuover forms an acuta angle, round which the tide sweeps w(lh ■?tron? but most unequal force. The.iulmtmble manner in which Captain Harrison and the pilot, Mr. Atkinson, managed the shin, the powor and regularity with wbioh tho engines worked, would, if left unotatraoted* have soon got the vessel round .this place. But, of omtfso, fight m the centre of the river, a bark, tho Kingfisher, was moored, while a little beyond her lay a schooner in such a manner as effectually to blook the “fair way” down the stream. The tugs wore sirnallod to get the Great Eastern’s head roond, and tried to do so, but the strain wae too much at the most critical moment two of the hawsers parted, and for a lew minutes the noble vessel was beyond a doubt m a perilous position, as the sweep of tho tide; was strong and in an instant drove her towards tho shore. Nothin,? but tuo groat power of her own engines saved her here, though it was a delicate matter to use them pro perly. Itwasnpcessary inßtantiy to counteract the in fluence of.the tide, and.get her head off shoro; but, at the same tune, to do so in such n manner as would not give way enough to take her on sljore on the opposite side of the river. Fortunately, this was effected, fresh hawsers were to the tugs, the bark, the cause of «u the peril, shipped her anchor, and, after an anxious delay of some ten or fifteen minutes, the Great Eastern worked slowly round and lurned the point of danger. Thm was a great relieftos)) on board, and to none more so than Messrs. Campbell and Jackson, the managing director}, both of whom had been incossaptly o jcupied toe previous day and night in looking to all the arrange inentsforthe first departure. The moment tho point was safely passed, earner pigeons were sent up from the vessel and the shore lo spread the welcome news. At Woolwich there was of course a tremendous con course or spectators. Every spot whioh could, and doubtless many which could cot, command a view of the ship, were thronged. The Dockyard, the Arsenal,every Place was covered, The Fugard bad her men in the shrouds, who welcomed the safe arrival of the vessel with a reguUr“toree times |broe,” which was echoed Mck from both sides of the river by an almost counties multitude. It is very orobnble that another such ship W.fbi down the Thames, but it seems not possible thattne «uno amount of interest can be manifested m any other vessel again, no matter what her size. Once past Woolwich alt the difficulties were over. 1 he tur» continued their assistance, but the vessel was ro perfecUy upder control that whilo the tide was against her Uietrassistonce.might have bo-n c,-va ly ilis- PfMedwith.

A* it was, how ever.thp tidjturned and set with the ship b fore that hour, when.ihe vessel was at the Long Reach off Pur neet.

Asiuglo ono of Trotman s anohors was let go at tho bows, and the coureo of the ship, which it was said no anchors could ever hold, was at once cbeckod,andtho Groat Eastern aotually began to swing roGnd m the .Thames as much under command as a cutter; forth© sinslo instant du ring whioh she swung and remained broadside to tho stream she seemed literally to bridge across the river. There was room enough for her to swing, but not a font to spare. The vessel came round to ilie full force of the tide* and her chain cable tsu* htonod up out oftho water for a moment like an iron bar. but toe single anchor never yielded An inch from the spot where it was first dropped, tFrom the London Times, Sept. 5.)

Hor eli.ht de tention at Blsokwnll Point, hmvevcr, prevented this, and it became abstdotely necessary from the state of the tide to hrin.e up at once nt Lon* Beach. The thstin guished arrival threw Purßeef into aetate of uncommon ekcitement. Every one within moderate reach of it by road or rail hurried to tile hulo villase till it wne thronged to the water', oelgo, Graveeend also scorned most unwilling toyleld up i ta share in the great occaaion without an effort, and before lorn?crowded boats steered round and round theslnp, the passengers choermg them- B ? lv ® 8 . !!'l th ?/ hoarse again, while the hands played “ See the Conquering Hero Comes,” '* Rule Bri tannia,” and all, sorts of musical welcomes. For the rest of .the evening there was n constant repetition of such visits. Not a vessel passed that did noHumup b.ands to cheor, wlulc many, as they came down tho river, dressed m flogs from stem to stern. It was not till night hod lallen »fiot the rreat ship was lairly eft alone, and swinging raupd to hor anchor with the .rising tide. The mght wasATutle puffy, and seemed inpimed to bocome more io, but the wina fell as ' the moon rose, and the weather evontiully settled down intoadeadoalm. It took upwards of an hour for the tide to turn the s/np fall round, a ml at low water, ns she l R |wrou tlio river for a short time in turning, sho might almost be said to have stopped tho navigation wjth her colossal bulk.. Daring the night she swung twice again, and by daylight was lying with her head fairlor the resumption of her course down tho river. It rartim almostjncredible that a ship of such sine could haio swung in any part of the Thames, but only nnutical moo oanflppreciatethofaetofher doing so in a slrongtide way with a amglo six-ton anchor, which was crossed ?na re.yross«d no lets than three times wfthout tho chain oulliiK it, or the anohor being disturlidd in its hold. At about half-past eight this morning the vessel wss , again underlay. The Marqma of Stafford had joined during the mght, having travelled all the way from Scotland to witness thd groat ship's first efforts. Lord Alfred Fuet also came on board before starting. Ono turn a little below Long Beach required to be oarefully rounded; but, with tho depth of the water, «nd greater breudth of the nver, this was accomplished with enm , parativo ease. .Just after passing it,»little brig, which was quite sate when she was sailing up, appeared fright ened at tho sight of the huge vessel, and, altering her course, stoddalmost across the pathof tho Groat East -1 ern,and wakwithin an ace of lioin? run down. * As the vessel approaohed Gravesend, multitudes of poofile could bo distinguished along the chore.

PorryMoD, Collins, consular agent at Amonrrivor, Asiatic Russia, ban arrived in this city, and expects to sail in the course of n few days, on his roturn thither, by way of St. Petersburg. U appears, from )ns state ment, that American commerce at the Amnor is steadi ly increasing, several ships having sailed from the Uni ted States to participate, Jins year, m its rich trade, f Jioy have taken out assorted cargoes of merchandise, including cotton goods, wines, liquors, ships’ stores and chandlery, all kinds of hardware, machinery, stonm en gines, Jcc. Them are nowon the waters of theAmoor five steamers, built m this country. A Russian oflicag, Captain pavandofftat presentin How York, is silporin* tending tho construction of steam engines and maohi nary, to be placed in gun-boats to lm constructed on the Amoor, which is navigable i'orsteairilwats at least twen ty-five hundred miles, The climate is similar to North west Canada, anu tho agricultural productions about the sum?. , t Tho.prmcipal value of the country, as yet developed, is for its furs and mines; lint when steam communica tion shall l>o fully established, the trade will ho im measurably inoTeascd in othor productions, and Siberia and Tartarf will add their treasures to thoneof the Amnor cyuntrv. From Moscow to tho hood of tho Atnoor, a distance ot four thousand miles, thero are upward of hve hundred cities, towns, and villages, ofindustriou* inhabitants. The Anioor Company this year sent to the Ainoor river three or four vessels, with full cargoes, to gether with mm-steamers, to initiate thoir projects, namely—to unite the month of tho Ainoor with Siberia by a regular line of steam packets. The recent ukase of the Emperor of Russia) permit ting Siberian exiles to emigrate to the Amoor. is with a view of settling tho shores of that river, and developing the resources of the country. The construction of rail roads is contemplated, and also linos of telogrsph, con necting with Moscow and other distant points. AR these movements of the Russian Government are regarded with great interest, ns thoy cannot fail to open to American commerce a largo and valuable market to many of our manufactures. Considering our diversified interests, including those of whaling on tho north Paciflo, and contiguous to Sibe ria nnd the Amoor, the opinion prevnils that we sjiould have a consul genera! instead of a consular officer of comparatively nn insignificant grade, with an insuf ficient salary.

Economy in'Flel.—Now that tho season U at hand for housekeepers to pl&oe their homes in readiness for the season when fires are indispensable to d omestio oomfort, the question, “where shall we buy our Stoves ?“ willaoonhave to bo solved. Ourndvicetosuch Is, for various reasons, whioh the reader will appreciate, to visit the extensive establishment of Mr. J. S. Clabx, No, 10« Market street, whore every conceivable style of heating aparatus, from the noatost|chamber-etovo to the most capacious Cooking-Stovos nnd Ranges, may lie had, manufactured in tho beststyle, and nt moderate prices. The Silver's Gas-consuming Stoves, which are so colehrated for their ooal-savmg properties—fifty per cent, being sAvod in fbel by Uieir use—and whjeh, all manufactured by |dr. dldik, of the best add.heaviest material, have,become the most popular Parlor and or namental Stove now in use, are here displayed in nil sixes, with several highly important improvements of Mr. Clark's own invention attached, To appreciate full) this admirable stovo, which, taken hpon tho whole, is really an ingenious pioco of mechan ism, it roust lie soen. Of tho improvements spoken of we may mention his Safety Self-acting Door, which ef fectually prevents explosion; also his retort, whioh ob viates tho difficulty horctofnro ononuntored from the ac cumulation of ashes nnd cinders between tho outer pinto and tho cylinder. By moans of adjustable slides, a cur rent of air hi admitted into the rotort, and becoming heated, immediately ignites tho gas arising from the coal, whereby a large saving of fuel is naturally at tained. In making an examination of tins oxcullent stove, we were forcibly struck wilh tho value of several additions introduced by Mr. Clark this season, one of whioh is a Cast-iron Mouthpiece, which is certainly a vast im provement over tho sheet-iron ones ordinarily used, both for durability nnd appearance. Another is his now patont ventilator on tho top of the stovo, by which tho draught can bo instantly nnd most effectually checked, rendering the preservation of an equal temperature in a room a matter of ceao; or, if desired, tho stove can lie reduced in ternperaiuro to perfect coolness in a few mi nutes ; nnd still another decided improvement is found in the construction of tho porcelain knolw by whicn the draw is regulated. They aro so made that the difficulty of their coming vff heretofore attending them is entire ly overcomo. In conclusion, wo would say that any of our renders in want of a good Parlor, Dining-room, CUrttnl>hr.

NOW READY: BEULAH, AUGUSTA J. EVANS, MOBILE, ALABAMA. Oue large and neat duodecimo Volume. PRICE «1.9 3, From the New York Evening Ptfsb] Tho scene of this story is laid m-fong of the Fouthern cities on the Gulf. Beulah, tho heroine, is an orphan of the Jane Eyre typo, endowed with such extraordinary strength oi will and intellect, and so resolute a spirit of independence, that she conquers her way from the deiK million and menial duties of childhood to the inchest rank l.i the literary and social life. Proud, sensitive, and self-reliant, she spurns all offers of aid and protec tion, the acceptance of which might lead the world to doubt that she was the author of her own success, and many of her acts have an appearance of wajward ol>* atinacy, that make her a puzzle to her friends. Not tho least strange part of her conduct is her treatment of her generous, but stern-willed guardian, Dr. Hartwell, whose hand, notwithstanding heraffection for him, she repoatedly and unaccountably refuses The contrast of theso characters, and the well-planned conflict of wishes between them, are represented, with tit It, and give a continuous and absorbinif interest to the star]/. But it is not the importunities of her lover, nor the eovere experiences of poverty, and the taunts of vulgar and ill-bred acquaintances, in the circles m which, while pursuing her education, she is compelled to move, that alone annoy the heroine. Her acti *»e on ml is early pcrpleged with the thirst for knowledge and skepticaf questions, as to the subject ot religion and the destiny of the soul., Her doubts on the most aUlruse metaphysical problems, she endeavors to satisfy by study nnd inquiry, and thavuli she seem* to have mas tered the learning of the proloundest thinkers on the subject, she at last finds rest only m the teachings of Rerelation.. . , It lathe eviuenoe of the possession of this learning, on the part of the writer, not less than the attractions of the storr. that gives interest to the question of au thorship. The writer. Miss hvsua, is a lady.of Mobile, hardly twenty-threo\ears of age. who, it is said, can fairly lay claim to the accomplishments and genius which she has bestowed on her heroine. She has, at any rate established a rank among the best novelists of her sex whom opt country can 6onx, and tr< do not re member any work of fetton tcAicA has been protluced in this country, for years, which is irrttfen rank more jwirer. and ts more full of promise, than ** Beulah.” She lias achieved a decided literary success, asuccesc which will, at least, be as cordially recognised at the North as at the South.
