tine amount of shvnting..attd inexplicable oniors and
counter-orders, anti fyinms about of the tugs, before
all was m readiness. Moptmg After mooring was then
slipped off. ' Cap*. HdrnSoh and the pilot took their
Pi aces on the starboard paddle-box. Mr. Scott £to*te!l
remained on the bridge Co direcV the aolion of the en
gines, both of which (screw and paddle) wars under

navigators, who brought Utd Uenoral Admiral over to

. Precisely at A quarter past 7 tho last moorings were
tetgo. but as at this time the swoop of the tido had
turned the great ship's bow in, so ns to point rather in
shore of the Seamen s Hospital ship, it was necessarv
: to turn fier slowly astern to got sufficient room to round
tho very s(iarp curve of the river below Greonwich. The i
screw engines started first, working beautifully, with- ,
I out noise, heat, or even apparent vibration, and when
i the paddle machinery came into play, a few revolutions
sufficed to got her head round to the point required.
Then was the order given to go ahead slowly, and tor
! the first time the Great Eastern started into motion,
1 and with tho slow majestic bent of her huge paddles
! moved grandlv down thenver. Tho general public had
evidently.put bat littte faith In the announcement that
she would leave the river yesterday, so that until the
preparations were mAtle for notnalW leaving there was
little stir upon the rivor. Gradually hoWevdr, as the
steamtugs began to move about ,nnd get their tow ropes
in, it seemed suddenly to. break upon the amphibious
population at both sides of the stream that they were at
lostaboiit to lose a vessel whose presence Has made

Then ensued an extraordihaly sceftd. Thousands upon

lauuched crowded to the waters edge, and the stream
and its banksseemed suddenly instinct with life. Thero

It woe really almos; a national reception, and all soomed
to have, as Englishmen, a share m the, finest, swiftest,
strongest, and handsomest chip which the world has yot
f?«m- There was totono drawback oh the ontlmsiasm
and happiness of those who wero on bunrd, which was
caused by the absence of the eminent man to whom the
conooplion of thei shin Wes due-Mr. Brunei. 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. But for thcdelay at Blaokwall. Grav scud
would have, been reached by II o’clock. 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. An immediate holt was therefore necessary,
os in turning a few sharp corners with the tide the
vessel’s whole broadside would become exposed to the
full force of toe stream, and not ail the tugs in tho
•ivor would prevent her. KOing adhere a* once,
i* w«t tlmrofore, detormined to anchor off Pur

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,

After her &nt short ran,the,Grant Eastern remained
at her nnohoroAPurdeet for tho rest of the night, end

to 9 o’clock Mile mornlns. Her stoppano nt Pnrlleet was

colleotina at Gravesend all day m the Arm belief Hint
ehe could oi would stop, nowhere else. 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. Gradii*
ally, M she came neaTor.and nearer, the nir rung With
theironeers, and.the rivor was covered with boats ol
every shape and sixe, crowded with people, all shouting
of waving hats on<J na.ndkoroaiefs. There was some
thing almoit affecting intlie spontaneous entlmsiasin
and delight.with which all seemed to hail the releaso or
the noble ship from her long thraldom in toe river. No
matterwho tnor if wasa Hamburgh or Rotterdam steam
er, with half foreigners on board, or a fishing smock with
a couple of men ip tho bows, none seemed too high or
too low to do her honor, and her voyage down the nver
was one continued scene of •vociferous welcome. Off
Gravesendandinfrontoftbo thronging piers and ter
races were several large troopships with dotoebmonta
ou board for India. The orowa were in the shrouds of
these; toe soldiers, grouped in pmturesene masses,
stood on deck. From all, the Great Ship got a welcome
which was worth a long journey to see, whioh, triumph
ant ns may be Her' oception in tho States, is never like
ly to be surpassed nor often equalled. With the parting
plieer* still floating across tho water Gravesend was
left behind, and the two tugs Ahead liegnn to go at
greater speed as toe Lower Hop* was passed. Soon th«
?’ater began to change its tint from dirty block to muddy
reen, tne cool Air came fresher across the reaches,
and those da board rojoioea, at last, at the tong-wished
for approach of sea-wntor. The transition was marked
ia the usual disagreeable madnor by the boilers “ prim

water from the steam-pipes over all tho deck. This
unpleasant-inauguration, however, whs soon over ns

revolutions per minute, and the screw at from 12 to 18.
In fact, neither engine was moved till it became
necessary to assist the tugfi. Yesterday, however, when
our valuable little sulh, which had realized thp fahlo or
the Mouse and thO Lion and freed tho Groat Eastern from
all nor river toils, wore cast adrift At GhApman's-Head,
more epocd was put upon the vessel, aud in ton minutes
she set at rest forever all doubt ns to her being tho
fastest vessel beyond comparison in the world. It has
already been stated that the proper sea-going trim of
the Great Eastern is a little over four feet down hv the
stern. Instead of this she is at present six inohesdown
by the head, while her whole draught of water is too
light to allow the proper immoraion to her paddle floats,
and no less than four feet of her screw-blades are out
of water.

m two minute* under tho hour. Calculating from
this data, it will be found that working to her ordinary
sea-going power wdl give her, even in her present trim,
an averavo .of from eighteen to nineteen miles
an hour. During tho time that tho vessel was going at
this speod of thirteen knots, or fiftoen miles, the engines
worked with an ease that, when their size and powor
are considered., was perfeotly astounding. There was
scarcely any vibration on the veiwul, and, as Tar as

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.

CITY ITEMS.
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. O/fioo Btfivo, enhhot fail to be perfectly
suited in this udinirablo stbek, which Mr. Clark now
offers.
Whitman’s Superior Confections.— lt is now

of the loather binding of tho liooks, and their being
quite damp from the Safe’s being filled with steam from
the firc-proef filling. The heat was of the most intense
character, owing to the groat height of tho building and

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.
