As the great leviathan steainer was to

From. the Paisley Advertiser.
THE Biiirisii QUEEN STEA.'dER.
This splendid and powerful vessel wes
built, as our readers are aware. by l\JI-.)ssi’s.
Curling & Young, London, for the British
and Alllel‘lc:tl1 Steain Navigation Go. She
was launched at Linieliouse, at the close of
luau, 1838, and arrived at Port Cllasgow
aboiit the 7th of.Iuly in that ye.:ir, to get her
engines——mude by Mr. Rol:iert Napier, Engi-
neer, Glasgow. By the politeness of I\I1‘.
Johustone, resident eiigiiieer, we had an op-
portunity of giving this Ocean Queeii a gell-
eral overhaul on Monday lust, and we shall
now siibjoin a few pai'tici'il:irs regarding her.
Her engineering and other fittings are in a
very for\v.ird state. On the day miiiietl, her
heavy inachinery was all on board, with the
exception of the main shaft, wliich was ex-
pected down from Glasgow ‘on 'l‘liursday.—_—
We gave a number oftlie diiiiensioiis of this
vessel when she. was laiiiiched, but it may
not be uninteresting to repeat a few of them,
along with some other details.

She has two splendid engines aboard, of
‘.250 horse power each; the frame work of
which isin a massy gothic style, while the
working part, for strength, be-.iuty, and excel-
lence of fitting, are iidniirable. Each engine
stands on a single plate of iiictiil, weigliing
35 cwt.; four pieces of the ll‘ttlllC work
weigh, each,l6 tons;'the cylinders weigh
each 12 tons; the di.-imeter of the bore is
77,‘, inches ; the diameter of the axle in the
bushes is 16¢ inches, and the stroke of the
engine is 7 feet. She has in all four boilers,
any number of which can be used at one time
without the others. The dianieter of the.
paddle wheels is 31 feet 6 inches. The float
boards, which are 9 feet (3 inches long, are
arranged in three distinct parts, presenting a
resistance of three feet in breadth. Accord-
ing to her depth in the water, the revolutions
of her paddle wheels will vary from 15 to 16
-,in a minute. She is supplied with IIall’s pa-
tent condcnsers, and thus the same water
with which she fills her boil’-..-i's in the Clyde,
will, with a little addition, serve until her ar-
rival in New York. She has iron tanks be-
tweenthe timbei's in the hole, capable ofliol<l-
ing 200 tons of water, all ofwliic_h is accessible
to the pumps, and can thereby be drawn out,
and conveyed by pipes to the different berths.
But over and above this she has a patent still
with her, and can convert salt water into
frcsii for her boilers, and for the use of her
passengers, as may be required.
The main saloon is about 51) feet loiig, and
in the iiarrowest purl betivecn the side berths
is nearly twenty feet in breadth ; a flood of
light is thrown into it from above, iuid the
floor is covered with oil cloth, above wliicli
is laid rich soft carpeting of a beautiful de-
scription, while the sides are ornuiiiented with
liistorical paintings, executed on a peculiar
kind of canvass, which gives them the ap-
pearance of needle woik in worsted. The
ladies’ saloon is also fitted up with great.
taste, beauty and splendor, while the second
cabin is scarcely inferior in accoirimodzition
and but little in beauty to the first. 'I‘lie sa-
loon furniture is furnished by Mr. Boyd, and
the upholstry work by Mrs Murray, both of
Glasgow; Mr. Kerr of Grciiock has the
work of the second cabin, and all seem to be
vying with eacli other in the production ofcx-
cellent and beautiful workiiiaiisliip. The
borths are fitted up with ('Vl'l'y attention to
convenience. The lamps are of a patent
kind, and can either be used with oil or
with wax candles, and move on a uni-
versal joint which keeps the light erect liow-
ever the vessel might pitch and roll. Tlici'e
are 104 beds fittedup aft, and 108 forward,
with room for 60 or 70 more if required.—
'I‘lio ste\vard’s room is fitted tip with almost
every convenience, and affords a passage for
conveying the dinner froiiithe gallery to the
dining saloon withoutincoiiiinoding or being
seen by the crew or passengers.
The delfware, which “appears of a very
excellent kind, has been made specially for
the vessel, and is orniiincntcd with :1 steaiii
ship surroiinded with the designation of the
company. The silver plate is superb. Silt:
will carry 32 hands, iniiiie'(l'iut.ely connected
with the superiiitcndencc and iiianagement of
the engines, and her crew in whole, includ-
ingofliccrs, seamen, engineers, cooks, stew-
ard, &c. will amount to 85. In respect of
:.:tores‘and general fitting out, she is admira-
bly found, an] every thing is on the lIl0.'_~'l
iiiiprovcd constiuctioii. l'l,«_-_r windlass, fol
stoppers of Moffat’s patent, and so on of many
other patented articles. I-Ier chain cables
are 1 7-8 iron, and are of the same. kind as
is used for 74 gun ships. Her small bower,
best bower and sheet anchor weigh respec-
tively 32 cwt. 2 qrs. 18 lbs. 43 civt. and 47
cwt. 1 qr. ‘.21 lbs. Nopains, no time, no ex-
pense has been spared in obtaining perfec-
tion, and taking her all in all, we may safe-
ly say she is unequalled by any other vessel
afloat. Among other convenience for pas-
sengers we had almost forgotten one: O_n
the deck there will be a neat erection in
which cold, warm, or shower baths may be
obtained by the passengers. But the atten-
tion of the owners goes still farther tlian this.
Even smokers are not forgotten. Near the
baths there will be (shiftable to the leeward
we hope) a st-gar room wliere smokers may
congregate and cffer up clouds of lllCL‘llSC' to
each other, till they becoiiic as smoke dried
as red herring.
The cabins oftlie captain, chicfmate, and
surgeon, are on the quarter deck, and the
room forms a shelter for the ster~rsiiizii'i. She
is steered with a double \\'llt"("l, Sllllll-ll‘ to
those used by the London East li'idi:imeu, or
line of battle ships. The petty officers de-
scend to their cabin immediately before the
windlass, and the seamen get down to tlicir
berths choke forward before the forcastle.
The rigging of the vessel is low and sung,
rather than taut; but her yards are pretty
square, and as she has stiidding sail booms
fitted on them, she will be able, when neces-
sary, to display a good breadth of canvass to
the breeze. She is expected to sail, or more
strictly speaking, to sail from the Clyde
about the 15th of June, and after touching at
Liverpool, Dublin, and Cork, will proceed
to London. She will start from the Tliames
about the ‘.?.0th ofJune, and from the l\‘lOlllt‘.l‘-
bank, Portsmoutli, about the 1st of July.-—--
She will have about 300 passciigers on her
first trip, berths for whom are already secur-
ed. The bertlis on lier rutiii'ii passage from
Ni;-.\v York were all ta ken up some time ago.
lifhc-n starting from London, she will have
about I000 tons of coal aboard, and yet, so
ciipacious is she, she will have rooin for 1000
tons ofgoods. She is coppei'e'.l up to 17 feet,
atid is expected when loaded l.o draw 18 feet
aft, and 17,’, for\v:.ird. Notwithstanding the
great c.ap.-icity of this iiiiigiiiliceiit vessel, she
does not look so large as many would expect ;
pi‘ob:ibl_v the beauty of her mould tends to de-
tract a little from her appiirriit bulk. \Vlien

Dcs!ru.ctive Ifuil Slorm.—\Vc have to chroni-
e‘.e this week another hail storm, which in the
recollection of our oldest citizens was uiieipialleil
in its destructive cllecis. The storm cziino up
on Friday noon. and lasted about half an hour.
[is course was norili-casi, and was most severely
fell, as near as we can learn, about four miles
west of Iliis village. where in the space ofa mile
square the estimated ilaniage is over SL000.
The principal sulIeri_-rs are i\.Il‘s‘S"So_ Jame-s Sle-
vcus, Ira Stevens, C(im.'orl Knapp, Jusepll C.

pair the injury done to the ciopsnfonciiulivi«lu-
al. Another, 'vliu owns three of four dwelling
houses in that vicinity, had 500 panes of glass
broken. From this section. where the vein was
about lialfa mile in width. ll widened, auil be-
came less destructive to the crops—passiiig over
the norllierly part of this town, and marking its
course by shattered windows. In the Upper pan
of this village scarcely a house escaped without
the loss of 50 or 60 glass.
The effects of the storm have been most se-
vercly experienced by some of our ciilerprisiiig
and worthy farmers. \'Vhere lately wziveil ilii-ir
luxuriant crops. nearly ripe for the harvest, is a
flattened mass of stalks, in some instances hard-
ly worth the gathering except for fodder.
It is no exaggeration: to say that some of the
bail were of the size of lien’: eggs. Tliey were
of very irregulaisliape. A noigliborslioweil us
one six hours after it fell. wliich had been kept in
his cellar. It was about halfau inch thick. and
measured nine inches and a lizilfarounil the edge.

we have a shmvcr every day, and soiiieliiiies a
halfdozcu of them. The sky weeps as easv as
a sub-troasurerknows the road to Tc.1'a.s. The
farmers grumble andibly because they can'ldry
their hay. One determined old fellow, the other
day, set his men at work to cut a ten acré lot 9|‘
fine tall grass. As the sun shone bright and
warm in ilie morning. it was half dried, when a
shower came up and obliged him to rake it into
heaps. The next day it was spread out again,
and another shower compelled him to cock it
again, and so on. for several days in succession;
:ill at last he got out of patience and declared it
should be dried in spite ofthe wealliergso he
carted the whole of it into ilie house and dried
it by the fire.—IIa7Iford Courier.

IV-m. J. Ilammerslcy, Esq. on_being called
known to all prescnt—it was well known
how gallantly that town was defended; in
what dilemma the volunteers were soon
placed in consequence of their flannel for
wadding being exhausted, and how happily
they were released by female ingenuity.—-_-
Persons were sent to a neighboring place in
search of flannel, and on liearingthe appli-
cation made. Mrs. Bailey took from her per
son her under garments, and exclaimed,
‘ There is flannel for your guns, and more
can be procured from like sources.’ ‘The
result was that the British were discomfitted
and repulsed.
Mr. H. said that Mrs. Bailey yet lived, and
be trusted her fixture days would be as hap-
py. as her past ‘conduct had been creditable
and patriotic. He roposed—
