rsirgiumENTAL TRIP OF 7MS aMI rfl IRON TRlN-
RTNAMalt.—Yesterrlay an experimental veysgo was made
by an iron steamer of a novel construction, to test the prac-
ticability of Rising greater accommodation to pamangen,
with equal speed In a revel of low tenons and of a very
small draught of water. The vessel In

Gemini, and is, in fact, two iron boats Join, d together and
having the propul‘ive power in the eters in the shape of
one gegontie p eddle-wneel. Twin boats have loeg been
used in river and nasal navigation both in this country an.t
in ATOCTiCPI, but their semen hen ben greatly obatratted
by the (91fleoltics which their ounstrootion pleciA is the w..)
of the great desideratum, speed. It bad always been found
that the concentration of what is technically called the back-
water, i e., the risottos caused by the rotation of
the paddle-wheel in the centre of the body to be moved,
was a serious obstacle to proems., as by its conrantly
'urging up, it seriously impel d the smite of the wheel.
Thia defect, the patentee of the present vessel (If r. Peter
Borne) has stught to remedy by making his two vessels, as
it were. sectiocrof one, sueh sections, by their division and
the inters, ration of the paddlewheel, *iliac a greater
amount of deck-room than in vessels with external paddle
whirls, and *inter steadiness of motion then cou'al be ob.
tined under the old system, while the peculiar construction
of their inner bilge diminished the chance of frieVott with the
water. Another, and moat important point to be achieved
by the new construction, was the avoidance of any lateral
disturbance of the supporting fluid, so aa to adapt the viral
to narrow river, or canal navigation, where the modes of a
Wismar is ussielly found to womb away the banks. With
respect to thee:pertinent of yesterday, the appearance of the
decks cm dec gelsg aboard, rand that the first object had been
achieved. The deck, were as spacious as those a line-of

by the construction of what the Americans call a honking
