Tt First Atlantic Steamer, It has lonj Ken a mooted question as to w hich w as the first rssel tl at cross. l thu Atlantic ocian with steam as a motor. In 1833 tho llritiah steamships Sirus and Clreat Western Hindu tho passage from Kuglish ports tu Nuw York, and authorities ou steam navi gation have credited them with boim: tlio ear liut to cros thooce.ui propelled by steam, ltefore that, however, orin 1S1D, tho Savan uah, a small bug with mi auxiliary engine, crossed the Atlantic from Savannah to Kng land and back) but this vessel only used steam when there was no wind. Hut Canada now puts iu tho ihini of having constructed the tirst steamship that crosd the ocean solely by tho use of sttam, namely, tho steamship Koal William, built in Qutbeo in 1831, and fitted atMoutrval, hav iu I em in the ri er, culf and coast trade two ) errs, was sold in 1833 to parties w ho took her to Kurope iu August of that ear, she having madu tliu voyago out from Quetieo iu sixteen day. SuUequeutly alio was sold to Portugal, and finally to the Spanish Gov crmucut, when ah became the hrst war steamship of that nation. She was a staunch esstl of nearly fourteen hundrtxl tons, and her tint cost waa sixteen thousand pounds. This was nearly a total loss to her original ow uers, as she was sold out oi their nosaessiou by a sheritt It ia said that she end ed he carver as a sailing vessels. The American Clipper Ship Unsurpassed. Clipper ships, whoso fame stood so high twenty years ago, nro now well nigh forgotten. Yet In the investigation of tho loss of the Hnglish training ship Atnlanta, n certain amount of attention having been ilintted o tho relative merits of tho finer sailing vessel of the Royal Navy mid thoso of tho mercantile marine, evidence before tho committee de veloped tho fntts tlint theao ilippirs were not only safe ships and good sea boatx, but that they were nlo positively tho swiftest irnft tlint hnv overjethcen product.!, mid tlint not even tho fast passenger ship built of late years for leading shipping companies havu been ablo to surpass their bust performances. Tho celebrated Red Jacket on her passage from Liverpool to Melbourne, ran L',07i! nau tical miles in eight days mi nvorngo of 334 per dny, which Is srrcnlir than that of tho steamers of 111010 than 0110 Trans-Atlantic company. In 1877 a steamship of tho White Star Lino logged l!l land miloi per hour j in 18."i4 tho Ltvcipool clipH.r Jaiiirs llaincs logged 21 11 ititical-nbout 24 land-mites In tho same timo. Thu (lermanio steamer iu 24 hours 410 nautical mill ; tho Jame Haines in tho same period sailed 120. Tlio latter mn ha apparently never liccn surpassed by any steamer on an ocean passagu.

Tho French Hjdrojrnphlo Otllco has pub lished a useful discussion, with charts, by Lieutenant J.

With regartl to the monsoons, it is found that they are far from being as regular a i generally supposed. Tho northern monsoon ha a very marked predominance over tho southern, both as to direction and to force. From thu beginning of September tho former is engaged in o struggle with tho latter, and hardly cease to predominate until tho cud of May 1 whilo tlm southern monsoui, which is quite overcome, during tho courso of Octolier, only begins to mnko its approach felt in tho month of April.

'Iho SW monsoon otih prevails during thu three months, June, July and August, iu inodcruto breezes, with out, however, displacing tho Nil, which also blows in liuht bnc7e, becoming gradually lighter. Iu tho Eastern sea, tho wind I-, at all sea sons, much more variable in Winter tho pre valent direction is from N to Nil iu tho south, uud from N to NW in thu north ; mid it blows with a steady forte, although less than tint ou tho China coasts.

On tho lastern coast of Japan tho wind luu alio much less constancy than In tho l'ormom Channel.

Merchant Ship Load Line. American bhlp. The Kuglish Hoard of Tmdo has had not n little troublo in its efforts to tstablish a load line ou the merchant ships of Great llrit-iii. Tho lines or limits that havo now been find give great dissatisfaction to ship owners, who aiseit that tlioy are determined by theoretical standards, mid arc, in reality, of very little service, except in hampering tho profitable employment of vtiaels. If current reports to bo trusted the majority of Kuglish ship master pay are not the least attention to these legal re quirement. They load their vessel very much as they did before tho law- was ennctc.1, nnd thus to the foreo of public, opinion, which is strougly pronounced against tho law, to savo them from Governmental interference. As a safeguard to sailors, for this was what the measure w a intended to be, it is practically nugatory. Realizing tl is, tho authorities of tho Roan! if Trade have now advanced a new plan, which will lie proposed before the ad journment of Parliament. Tho new method is to appointa commission consisting of scientific txperts and ship owner, who shall decide, in t byuny rigid standard, but by a survey of each vosmI. thu character of her construction, and the nature of her ordinary voyagts, where thu load hue shall bo placed. Thi having bom ilcttrmiiitd, ami deviation in the way of oxcissivu loading will be iited with heavy penalties. This is uo doubt a fairer 'system than the one now In nej but tho British ship merchant hav e Uen so loiii acemtomod to complete frudoiu of action in the niauagi meut of tlieit vctl tl at tlioy cannot bnng themsilvta to helicvo in the necessity of any olhcial supervision. As a practical comment ary on tho foregoing we may notice that in tho matter of tho loss of the llritish steamship Drumdutr, the Naval Court of Inquiry, which has Uui in session at the otrico of the llritish Consul nt this port for several days, the decis ion of tho Court is that the stunner was over loaded, a verdict which will result in tho re fusal on the part of the inauranco companies to pay foriither tho vessel or its cargo.
