IMPROVED AMERICAN STEAM-BOAT.

There have been several objections raised against steam-
boats, as they arc generally constructed; and if by the
adoption of the following, or any other plan, those objec-
tions can be obviated, we apprehend it will eno little be-
nefit, both to the proprietors and the public at large.
j From the Philadelphia Freeman's Journal.]
The Trenton steam-boat es constructed upon an entire
new model. Her boilers rest upon the guards projecting
over the water, from each side of the boat. This leaves
the deck entirely unobstructed, and forms what may be
called a premenade deck. The space usually occupied by
the boilers is converted into convenient and elegant dress-
iug-ruems. Should any accident happen to the boilers, the
water would be thrown directly into the river, and not in
ti Inst injure the passengers; and, what is likewise im-
portant, the unpleasant and annoying degree of heat in the
cabins is no lon;er felt. She was built at Hoboken, and
it tea) be fearlessly asserted that the improvements in the
arrangement and disposition of her machinery, are far
greater than any that have been yet made since the intro-
duction of those boats into.our waters.

We understand that Captain Kitson, of the Royal En-
Omura, has been sent to this town by the Honourable
Board of Ordnance, to construct two large works, for the
defence of this important port. The one to be erected on
the Rock Perch will contain a number of very heavy guns,
And krto be built of stone ; the other will be constructed
on the site of the North Battery, on the North Shore.--

.1 greater sensation was excited in this city (Exeter)
Yesterday, than we recollect for many years, by the dis-
oirery of an embezzlement of cash and notes to au un-
heard of ester!, bv 111111 am Henry Ellis, a confidential
shopman and c!erk in the employ of the very respectable
house of Newman and Co. grown. He underwent hat
rcning a long private examination before the Magistrates,
id was remanded, with orders to be brought up again at
o'clock this morning, when the examination was iv-
"red, which did not terrnfnate until three o'clock this
fternoon, when he was fully committed for trial. The
tilder by this man seems to have been systematic, and
friction fur years, during which he has accumulated, iii
Cali and notes to the amount of nearly 6,0001.,
rich were seized at his lodgings, amongst which there
le above 10001. in silver, about 7001. in gold, together
th AMC roletus of bank notes of 10001. in each, the
sole of which has been lodged for safe custody in the
teter Bank. The prisoner conducted himself with great
rontery during the examination, and while being taken
proun coolly made some remarks on the weather. He
lent in stature, and has rather a feminine appearance.—
