Hhnres were Issued at 25 cents each, and the stockholders arc of nil agce, sizes and color, and scaltered through¬ out tho length and breadth of this great and glorious republic, which, by means of this new messenger of peace, Intends to more el- fcctually carry the Gospel to the benighted races o( the Southern I'licllic ocean, among the multitudinous Islands which rise out of tho-sea like Celestial garden?, only waiting lor Yankeo enterprise to make them pro¬ duce their fruit and spices for the benefit of tho civilized world. Instead pf breaking the traditloual bottle of nine over tho head of this inanimate embassador of Christianity, at her birth,, there was poured out n vial ot „. water, Florida water, which sent up Its fra¬ grance to heaven like a pence-offering be¬ tween the city aj)d sen. The vessel Is com¬ manded by (he Rev.

The mainmast, when used for a suiote pipe, carrlcb the aoot and dirt tar out and away from I he deck of the steamer, whereas the ordjnnry shoi t Inn- doI has not got enough draft to prevent the soot from dropping all over the while paint¬ work, and the dresHes of the ocean Iraveleis.

A few days ago the Onolda was Inspected by the underwriters, who have given her a' straight A2 rating.1 Her passenger outfit is tuulte complete and has been, but little used.

Her owners have not Mi fully decided whore to place her, but ItTllkely that they would soil her If opportunity offered.
