The New STEAMER OREGoN.-Thls new steam
packet is now attracting a good deal OF attention.
She is magnificent vessel and is the longest steam
er In the world


This wonder of a steamboat was launched several
months ago, and is now finished in superb style
Her length is three hundred and forty feet, and her
proportions symmetrical and in perfect taste with
harmony and beauty. She is owned by Mr.. Geo
Law, late President OF the Harlem Railroad, and
now President of the Mohawk Railroad II is his


intention to place her on the line with the Neptune
present running round Point Judith toProvldence
the cheap and popular plan. The O. will proba-
bly, make her first trip next week.


The owner of this mammoth steamer has success
fully tested her qualities and power within the last
few days, and she will again be tried on the Both
inst when the English monster steamer Great Bri-
tain goes to sea. They will then have trial OF
speed to Sandy Hook, and perhaps farther to sea
The latter is only ten feet shorter than the Oregon


they, therefore, the steam champions of the two
nations.


Mr. William H. Brown, the builder Of the Russian
| steam frigate Kamschatka built the Oregon, and
Mr. Simonson finished the joiners work The finish
and model of the vessel speak well for the skill OF
those concerned in her construction.
