RECIL‘IOND HILL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 2?“, 1857. In our simplicity we used to think a ship of five hunder tons. as she sat gracefully upon the Waters.- a mag- nificent object and when m after times we looked upon a clipper of 1.600 tons. we supposed that perfec- tion had been reached. Still later, however. we saw the Great Rr'public, a more wonderful specimen still, and whose shining deck we measured off one day by just one liuudrud panes. And now prodigious slcumships are If it would help to a conception of this monster structure, let it be sup- posed to stand upon one end, by the side of Bunker Hill Monument, or the Catholic Cathedral. Cincinnati; then the otllerend would be at a point in the airjust lhrec limes as high as the apex of the Monument, or the top of the cross ofthe Cathedral. Or were the ship to be erected, in like manner, by the side of Trinity Church, New York, it would shoot into the air twice the distance of the spire. and one hun- dred and eighty feet beyond. In addition to the abOVe. the hull is divided into several bulk-heads, or compartments, each of which is water- tightâ€"so that though one part of the ship, or even several parts, were to be stove and filled with water, the ship itself, instead of foundering. would go 'l‘hroughout'the vessel. up to three feet above high-water mark, the pro- digious hall is constructed douhle. In other Words, there are two hullsâ€"one within the ot||r21j-tlie space between the two being nearly three feet. These two hulls are connected togeth- er by solii iron plates about six feet apart, and running from end to end of the ship ; which plates are crossed, at right angles, by similar plates running across the ship at the same distance apart, thus dividipg the entire space between the two hulls into divisions of, six feet square. This arrangement, of course, prodigiously increases the strength of the vessel. on it§ way safely, and wifhout inter- ruption, and with scarcely any real- ization of damage. “ And Gudsald unto Noah.

We should decidedly err, however, il'in summing up the whole propelling furce of this ship, we were to add that ofsails or Wind to the steam p0w0r; for it will not be forgotten that, on the supposition of the ship’s going before the wind. or nearly so, the greater the speed of the engines. the less will be the force from the wind. Hence, if its Steam power is, under such cir- cumstances, driving this wonderful ship through the waves til the rate of twenty miles an hourâ€"about its ordin- ary speed. it must he a very brisk wind from behind that Would affect the sails at all so as to help to propel the vessel. Thus, from all ordinary winds of the some direction with the ship's cnnrse she will actually run away. and pro- duce along its fur-reaching deck. a wind in the opposite directionâ€"so that its vast canvas will be ofno use, but :1 damage rather, whenever tht. wind is going with the ship, unless such wind Nor is this all. In the second place. in addition to this inconceivable force, the ship is to be provided with an ap- pendage of masts and sails somewhat corresponding with the figures already noticed. lnstcadmi three mstsflhe’ usual numbereven for the largest vcs- suls, this craft is to have an array of “six or seven masts, all of which are to .be of hollow wrought iron, except the hind mast or miZZen-mast, which is to be of wood, and off which, at the height ot‘eighty four feet above the deck, will be placed the compass. The sails that will oven-spread these masts, are to contain no less than six thousand five hundred square yards of canvasâ€"an amount of cloth, which if spread smoothly out, would cover an acre and one third of ground. Im- agine the force of the wind on such a surface of canvas erected in the air, find you will have an idea of the proâ€" pelling power of the sails alone. innple. all the huildings Of a middling sized New-.I‘Ingluml village, nrit Would! bezn' up emnforluhl'v all the good pew: ple nl'Brnnllilyn ; \\'hi('h people, it'ihey" 10.041) sLaml lumd Wslmnlde,kliktk slate prisoners when marching in and out ol‘ pristin, wnuld form :1 column of humanity reaching udislunce ofuinely miles; or from New York to l'hila- dolphin.

One would think lhal here the ullimulum of hugcncss had been ashamed. But no ; a craft mani- fold more huge and womlruus is lbl‘lh- coming, alongside of which the largest ship afloat is but a “circumstance.” This wonrlcrlul ship is constructed of “rough! iron. of which sixly thou- sand superficial feet were requisiie for lhc hull. The weight of this iron was eight thousand tons, and. ifsprcad out on a plain surfivre. would cover nearly one and a hnlfmu'cs To secure lhlS iron firmly to its plwc, required lhree millions of ri'vels.
