THE TRUE ISSUE.
LA GIUNOE.SATUKDAY.DEC. 13, 1857.
The Steamer Adriatic. This steamship,
butlt for the Collins line, lias at last bceti
to ecaon atrial trip, and lier performances
afford good grounds for the belief that she
will prove one of the fastest steamers ever
built. On her return to Now York on tho
16th instj she attained a speed of 18 nau
ticat-miles, or &1 stntutc utiles, in one hour
and.four mluvleSj using only twO'thirdsof
tlio avail ablo power. This is an cxtraor
dinary spued, nearly equal to the highest
attained by tho North llivcr steamers.
Tho Adriatic was a Jillto over Jiajf laden,
and drow 19 feet. Tliisstumner, although
not so. largo as tho Persia, exceeds her in
tonnage,, and in this respect is the.largest
ship ip tho world afloa the fuiuio to
lai,nih the Great Eastern Mill Keeping her
,out of tho category1 floating ships. Her
length ts 354 feel; breadih of 'beam .50 cot
depth 33 feet; tonnage (carpenters') 54d0
tons. Tlftj engine of tho Adriatic have.
twn cylinders, each 100 inches in diameter,
