The Hell Fire Club. The New York Leader, under the Lead of "Old Merchant of New York City, gives a sketch of the business career of Thomas H. Smith, a great tea merchant who failed years since, owing the govern ment over Three Millions of dollars duties on teas, and concludes the sketch with an account of the "Hell Fire Club, as fol lows: Thomas II. Smith, besides being the greatest tea merchant of his day, was also the greatest Spreeile of Lis day. He was the President of a Club called "The Hell Fire Club." It held its meetings ia Frank lin Square and the Corner of Dover street Boys have a mode of amusement called "Follow your leader." This was adopted by the Club of which Smith was President. Many men who are now aged and respect ed men. or dead, belonged to the "Hell Fire Club." Joseph Foulke a trader at Curacoa, a Dutch Island in the West In dies, and the Staggs. There was old Pe ter Stagg, Cashier of the City Bank, and John and Benjamin Stagg. There was old Matthias Bruen, and many more whose names were on the Ulub list. They cave grand suppers, and their orgies were some times of a horrible character. They would invite guests to tnese suppers, explain the rules, and if he refused to join or would not carry out the idea, the fine was one dozen of champagne. These fines were oc casioned by a refusal not to follow the lead er. On one occasion a great cotton merchant from Hew Orleans was a guest. He agreed to all the conditions. It was late in the dead of winter. The ice in the East river was floating np and down with every flood or ebb of the tide. "Follow the leader," shouted Smith, and out of the warm lux urious Club-rooms poured the maddened, drunken crowd of some of the best men in the city. - Out of the Square around the corner into Dover street. "Follow leader." and on rushed Smith President of the "Hell Fire Club," with thirty men behind him, down Dover, past Water, past b ront, into South, and thence on to the Pier. One of Smith's own ships lay at the dock, A lighter lay inside of the main wharf. The ice was loose and clashed np around the vessels. "Follow leader," exclaimed Smith, as he plunged from dock into the water. Some drew back, but others fol lowed the tedder, who succeeded in getting out or the ice water on to the lighter, and from thence to the dock ;and shouting "Fol low leader," be led oil with frozen clothes, up Dover and into the room of the "Hell Fire Club." Plunge, plunge, plunge, one after another, and so on until all had suc cessfully accomplished the terrible and dan gerous feat The Southern cotton mer chant was last. Some of the regular Hell Fires remained until they saw him reach the dock again safely, and then they left him shivering. He did not remain long. As he walked up from the dock, he noticed a large store open in South street. He en tered. It was a wholesale and retail ship store. "I have met with an accident give me a glass of warm cognac, hot, with su gar and water." It was done, and he drank it. "Do you keep gunpowder V he asked. Receiving an affirmative reply, Le bought and paid for half a keg, and then took his way to the Club room. At the door were standing Nic Lowe and Mr. Town, two members of the Club. The latter exclaim ed, "Brave Southern Stranger You have passed the ordeal safely, xou are now leader, and we are now deputed to place the Club under your command, if you choose to exert your sacred privilege." "Thanks, my friends, I shall do so, but J will not ask you to go out of the room this cold night. Let us drink 1" and as Le entered the room, he sought a closet where Lung Lis cloak. There he placed the keg, and then returned and took a seat at the long solid mahogany table. President Smith called the Club to order. The stew ards for the night opened a dozen of cham pagne amid shouts, calls and songs of the most obscene character. "Order, come to order!" exclaimed President Smith. When order was partially restored, he said : "Hell Fire Brothers, our guest has passed the icy ordeaL He Las now the right of becoming leader for the balance of the night, or until a failure in our sacred rites. What says heP The cotton merchant took from Lis bo som a bundle of tow, and laid it on the ta ble. All eyes were fixed upon him. I ac cept the command, I will lead now. Wait until I give the word, and then do as you see me do." By this time he had sptn the tow into a string that would reach from the table to the grate. He placed a tumbler on one end of the tow, to hold it on the table, and then passed the other to the pan under the grate, and made that fast with a piece of coal from the coal scuttle. Not a word was spoke. All felt that something unusnal was to occur. Cotton merchant now deliberately went to the closet and re turning with the keg, took his seat. Then Le went to work and removed the Loops, until he could take out the head of the lit tle keg. Not a soul moved. Then he took a very little of what appeared to be black sand in Lis hand, walked to the fire, and flung it in. The considerable explo sion that followed startled all. "Powder, by God H exclaimed Smith. Cotton mer chant took the end of the tow line from the glass, and pushed it down deep into the powder in the keg and then reseated himself. 'Now, Mr. President and mem bers of the Hell Fire Club, I wish you to near what 1 nave to say. "You have tried my pluck, I come from a Lot climate, and you have made me go through an icy ordeal. It is my time now, bat I will not be so cruel. I will give you a fiery ordeal to go through. If you stand it, you will never need more wine; and if you do not, the tines will amount to a small fortune, and you will Lave wine enough to last your club a year Look at me. lie walked to the nre, kicked ott the coal lump, and placed the other end of the tow-line in the red Lot coals. Then he walked back, and as Le brought his fist down upon the table sajd in tones of thun der as he sat down, "Keep your seats, and then follow your leader." The fire curled up in fitful spouta from the burning tar it burnt over the grate pan, and began to crawl along the carpet. It Lad eighteen ieei to go. sixty ana oaa single eyes, watched the burning train. One rose from Lis seat, then another, finally one exclaim ed, "we shall all be blown to hell," and made for the door. The rjanic was increas ed. Down stairs tLe club members plung ed like a flock of sheep. Even old Smith the President, was among the first to bolt the room. Before the tow-line had burned as far as the table all were gone but the cotton merchant. As soon as he saw that Le was alone, Le placed Lis foot upon the burning tow, and extinguished it He then opened the window and emptied the keg into the snow, and again resumed Lis seat He waited long for the return of the club members; one by one they did come back. There Cotton sat, until Smith took his seat as President "Now call for the fine," he said, and a severe lecture Le gave them for their drunken follies and real cowardice. TLe club died long ago. The Great Eastern. The telegraph has announced the arrival in New York, of the Great Eastern steam ship, after a passage from Southampton of nearly eleven days. Her time was noth ing to boast of, but the first trip of a new steamer is rarely a criterion of her powers, the machinery being new, and her omcers very cautious to prevent possible accidents from ' undiscovered defects. ' The number of passengers was small, although the pri ces were no higher than by regular lines. Most people were doubtful of the success of the experiment and disliked to risk the pas sage. Ihe passage up the harbor of .New York to her dock - was - made with the greatest ease, the leviathan answering her helm as easily as a smal pilot boat, ihe following is a description of this monster steamer. - The iron steamship Great Eastern, now commanded by Captain John Vinehall, was built at Millwall, on the banks of the riv er Thames, England, from designs plan ned by the late Mr. Brunei. The work of construction was carried on by Messrs. Treadwell, of Gloucester, under the super intendence of Mr. Scott Rassel. She is the largest vessel afloat, Ler Lull measur ing about seven hundred feet in length, six ty feet in Light, and making a burden of twenty-three thousand tuns, lhirty thou sand iron plates have been used in her construction, each plate weighing the third part of a ton, and requiring one hundred rivets to make it fast to its fellows. She has ten steam boilers, which are heated by one hundred furnaces. The cylinder of every engine in the Great Eastern is six feet in diameter and weighs five times as much as the great bell of bt Paul s Church, London. Her screw propeller is twenty-four feet in diameter, and the diameter of each of her pad dle wheels is fifty-six feet. The principle suit of saloons in the Great Eastern is four hundred feet long, and a promenade round her deck affords a walk of more than three quarters of an English mile in ex tent. The latest survey of the ship gives a registered measurment of eighteen thou sand nine Lunnred and fifteen tons. This monster ship combines steam pow er in both shapes screw and paddle with sailing power. To furnish the for mer she carries eleven thousand tons of coal, and when driven by the wind, with all sail set, she will spread out six thou sand five hundred feet of canvas. She has six masts, and two of her screw propellers, each sixty feet long, both being attached to her guards aft A longitudinal sectional view of the ship shows: aft the aperature for the 6crew, with cast-iron strengthening frame suppor ting the screw shaft Above aro the cap stans, worked by a shaft from auxiliary en gines. Aft of capstans are the cast-iroo bits for the chain cable. Then comes the screw shaft and its pedestals, and auxilia ry engines for working capstans and for turning screw-sbatt at a moderate velocity, should it be necessary to disconnect the screw-engines from the shaft if the vessel is under canvas. Above this are cargo room ship's stores, Ac, and next the screw engines of Messre Watt & Co.; above which are capins and berths for engineers. Again, we find six pair of boilers for screw-engines, with the steam-pipes leading thereto; above and on either are the coal bunkers, between each set of boilers; above are some of the principal saloons, with berths on each side of the ship; and on deck is the captain's cabin. Near this are the paddle-engines, and above are the en gineer's and stokers' berths, fec Then we see auxiliary engines and boil ers for working capstans forward, with a shaft and gear to work at any required ve locity. These engines are also for pump ing water from the double sides of Ihe ves sel when necessary. Above is the gas work. There are four pairs of boilers belonging to the paddle-engines, of Scott, Russell & Co., and the steam-pipes leading thereto. Above and around coal bunkers. On the second deck, and in front of the funnel, is the ladies cabin ; and from that to the paddle-engine room is the drawing-room on deck, under which are some of the princi pal saloons and berths on the other 6ide. Ihe steamer is lighted with gas made on board, and as she traverses the Atlan tic the electric light flickers from her mast head, signalizing her course and approach to her fellow travelere of whatever dimen sions. She Las capacity to accomodate four- thousand passengers, eight hundred of them being "first class," and if employed as a troop ship she could, in- case of grave emergency, carry ten thousand soldiers. We append, as a matter of much inter est, and for purpose of future reference, a condensed table of the exact measurment, size and capacity of the Great Eastern. Ihe principals dimensions of the ship, her capacity and power, are as follows: Length (rather more than the eighth of a mile) 680 feet Breadth 83 " Depth from deck to keel..

Enlighteaen men whose charcter for sound judgment and philosophy gives their opinions weightin the community, men who observe, reflect, and make Massnranee doubly sure, before they decide re everywhere approving ana urging the use of these wonderful Preparations. All who confide in the wisdom and honesty of this dassv or wn chose to investigate for themselves an now oi m ata4 on this importan t subject. Dr. Roback invites the attention of the sick the " ' -ORIGINAL LETTERS . ... From members of the Medical Profession, editors of pub Hc journals, well known Merchante and Famers, and la dies of the highest respectability, giving accounts of ex traordinary cures wrought by the remedies, of which cares they themselves were Eye WitnMes These parties may be consulted personally or by letter, by those who have any doubt upon the subject.

That Sick Females, who have languished for years In helpless weakness and despondency, recuperate with great rapidity under their invigorating operation.
