John dwelt nomcwhiit fully on tho rmomorclnl nspeot-of the question. In 1681 Mr. Wllllnm Denny showed that for n large 4.000 ton stenuMSFnrndlnit betwron London „nd CnleutGiTsleel uyisnt th»t time the most profltiibw muterlnl imployod.

Mr. John snld thnt Inst yenr two sister ves¬ sels were built, one of Iron nnd the other of ficol. They were of the following dlmeh- slons:|2(l0 fwt by 34 Icet by 10 feet 0 Inuhe* nioiildedvS.lOl Krors toiiiiiipe. The differ- ,mh'o m cnrrylnjj cnpiieity In fnvor of the —fWe\ ship wns fllty tnn&upoii n totnl of nbonl 1 150 tons, ([lid the dlf\erenee in the coat o( i ne two vowels wiib nome.wltift under £500, mi that'the cofLoX-tlttMlHl'erence-of-tlpiid^ weight between the two Khlps was lets .than HO per ton. wherens the actual eost ot the remaining deadweight was about £15 tier ion. In this two the dlferenee between the eost of Ir'm per ton nnd the cost of steel win 12 17*. 0d„ nndlf this be reduced to n dlf. lerenee Of £2 4s., nnd the steol ship be also - reduced In size, bo as to carry the same weight as tho Iron one, the former vesmel will be lound the cheaper of the two. With regard to the question of corrosion, Mr. John appeared to consider that ntecl stood at no creator dUadvantnge than iron,-suppos¬ ing that due care, were taken to remove all the scare Ironi the plntes before painting. He recommended sending the1 vessel to sea unpalntod tor n voyage, so that a slight gen¬ eral rust might take place, which could be removed and the bottom painted. The new steamer America, the flag ship ol the .National Line of steamers, arrived nt New York p. m.,of June 4, from Liverpool via Queonstowh, in command of Captain R. \V. Grace, formerly of the Spain. TJie vessel sailed front Queenstown at 10:35 ij. oi. of May 20, nnd arrived nt Sandy Hook at 10:15 p. m. of June 4, making the passage In the remarkable quick time of 0 days, 15 hours and 41 minutes. The America wu« launched on December 29 from, the yard of Messrs. J. &. Q. Thomson, Clyde IiHnk, Glasgow, Scotland, She is built ot steel and is of the following dimensions: Length, extreme, 480 feet; brelftlth% extreme, 51}^ feet; depth of hold, 85 feet 8 inches. Her gross tonnage Is about 6500 tons. She has live decks. The first or promenade deck, runs nearly the whole length of the veutel, and Is connected to a turtlo-back poop and loreoastje. The secouilvor upper deck, has on it the star Anys nnd the passenger accom modntlnn, the room for the ofilueis of the ship, ice houses; vegetable. roouiB, Ihrop rooms, indies' rooms, smoking rooms and gal¬ leys. The third, or main deck, contains nil tho tlrst-clnsB pnBsenger rooms, the saloons, pantries, receiving rooms, etc., while the extreme ends aro devoted to the crew nnd • stewards.. The fourth, or lower deck, is arranged so that tlrat-class passengers, emi- grants, and enrgomny be can led according to circumstances.' The fifth, or orlop deck, Is taken up principally with storage space lor the stores used bv the passengers, but may be used In parts alternatively for either. The vessel has accomniodatldn for 300 first- class passengers and about 700 emigrants, but if no eiolgiatits be carried the nura- "bcr of first-class passengers may be increased to " over '-500 'Bhe state¬ rooms are luxuriously furnished. Her ' cargo capacity measures 2,000 tone. She is brig-rigged, has a clipper stem, and is divided Into no Jess than thirteen water- light conipartmonts by complete transverse bulkheads, extending totlio upper deck in all eases but two. She Is classed In the Ad< mlrulty list as a vtwm'l which would float with any two compartments flooded. Thl» -(audition has been laid down by her own- 'rs as a necessary- one, as a precaution "Rulnat such accidents as belall ►lenmeie "ben they are struck on the bulkhead and 'wo compartments are thereby Immediately Hooded. The engines of the vessel are thrcu- cyllnder coinnoiind, one 68 Inches and two Jl inches, with a stioke ol (10 Indies. They wi lilted with piston valves over all the cyl- ilers. The crank shafts are bullr of mild fteel. The.boilers are seven In number, "'Wing 80 furnaces in all, and a working pressure of 08 pounds, Every foelllty has 'Mil afforded for getting cargo rapidly In '""l nut nf tho ship.
