Some time ago, novel exhibition took |
race on the river, opposite the Adelphi,
before a number of persons Of nautical ex-
perience, being model of sailing ves-
sci, six feet long, and only nine inches
broad F.; Of which the following is brief
description TN her hold, a semi-circular
cradle is suspended on the centre between
two beams; in the cradle is placed guam
tity of ballast, or part of cargo in the
cradle the mast is raised, and to the sides
of it, are fixed all the rigging, haul-yards,
SC. the whole being decked in; in other
respects there is no material difference a.
bove deck from ordinary vessels. BY this
invention the model is enabled to carry
nearly three times the common quantity of
sail close hauled, and, from its great length
of shape. sails with prcportionably increas-
ed velocity; and, however violent the
pressure of the wind, the hull of the vessel
always maintains an upright position in
the water. The model, the Invention of
Mr.. Raphael Clint, has developed many
other important advantages, and from the
general appreciation expressed of its pow
er, there is every probability that it will
be adopted in certain branches of the go
vernment service. We understand that
Mr.. Clint is preparing vessel on this
plan, Of larger scale, and model is to be
laid before the Board of Admiralty in adj
lition to the one presented to the society
of arts and sciences.


n late debate in the British House OF
Commons, Mr.. BRouGHAN alluded to the
last annual Message of the President of
the United States, and said, that, sir, is
manly and in'ellisible speech that do
cument describes the policy of wise gov
ernmcnt in manner worthy of free and
independent people. May no meansieal-
ousy prevent us from following where it
might have been our praise to lead and as
they have the glory, let us have our share
of the advantage; let US aid other freemen,
who, for Lberty's sake, seek to put bounds
to that league of despots, who, after seb-
DUNG all other freemen, would certainly at
tempt to conquer US -
