The Magazine of Science publishes the following description of gigantic vessel, ! consisting of three iron boats joined together, and intended to compete with the trans-atlan- tic boats

 Lieut.. Morrison has just published, at Liv- erpool, the plan of an immense packet boat which he has invented, and to which he has given the name of ''Leviathan.'7 This pack ct boat is of the capacity of 32, ,490 tons. will be put in motion by three archimedian screws of 800 horse power each.

 The deck of the Leviathan will be 1S2 yards (metres) long, and 8 wide There will be below the deck 1000 private cab ins; the public saloon will be square, mea- suring B yards on each side, and between the ceiling and floor. This vessel will be able to accommodate 5,650 persons, includ- ing the crew.

 The plan of construction amounts to B. l 758,000 fr.; the equipment and furniture to l,250,000; total, 5,000,000 fr It Is esti- mated that five voyages to America, going and coming, will yield an income of 5000,- GOO fr; of which, after the deduction of l,950,000 fr., for expenses, there will remain 3,250,000 fr as the annual profit of the pro- pntors.

 There will be around the deck a track of 800 yards ill length, for the purpose of ena- bling the passengers to take a ride in vehi- cle or on horseback There will also be on the Leviathan flower and kitchen garden, hot house, &e., occupying space of 225 yards. The passage in the best cabins, in cluding the fare, will not exceed 400fr The immense floating machine will have nothing to fear from the violence of the waves, being by its own weight secure against the dangers of the sea.

 Tine Leviathan, already propelled by this machinery of 2,800 horse power, will have the additional assistance of sails, carrying 2,675 square yards of canvass-the calcula- tion is that it will run 10000 yards (20 kilometres) an houi, and accomplish the trip from Liverpool to Boston in ten days.

 To kill time, this monster vessel will have theatre, capable of accommodating 1000 people, and will carry with it troup of CO., medians. There will also be on board an amphitheatre, wherein the sciences will be taught, and new experiments tried. There will finally be a bazaar on board, and news paper printed daily.
