[From the American Papers of the 16th June.]
MOBILE, MAY 2.—During the last six weeks our merchants
have experienced great inconvenience by the scarcity of vessels
to take off the produce, which has been accumulating, and we
have now on hand, ready for shipment, one fourth of the whole
crop of cotton. It is worthy of remark that, in several instances,
shipments have been made, destined for northern ports, by the
way of New Orleans, rendered necessary by the difficulty of
shipping direct. Our ship-owning neighbours have very much
neglected us this season.
NEW METHOD OF RIGGING SHIPS.--Lieutenant
of the Navy, has devised a plan by which ships' standing rigging
may be taken down, and again replaced in part or in whole, in
port or at sea, with great facility, and without disturbing
the topmasts or yards, which is particularly beneficial, as it en-
ables a mariner in a gale to replace a lost shroud with as much
ease as lie can replace any article of running rigging. It also
saves much injury to the mast head, and to the rigging,
which both are subject to by placing the eyes of the shrouds
and stays over the mast heads. For this valuable improve-
ment Lieut. Allen has received a patent from the President,
under the great seal of the United States, and the new ship
John Wills has been rigged on this plan. She now lies at
Corlwers Hook, foot of Cherry-street, where ship-owners, ship-
builders, the members of the Marine Society, and all others in.
terested in our national improvements, are invited to call and
inspect this renewed display of human intellect —(Arew l'ork
