We notice the following in the Home Journal:---
" A gentleman, well-known in London literary circles,
and who bears a very strong resemblance to the Prince of
Wales, often receives marked attention, on account of the
likeness. He recently visited a second-rate London The-
atre, and, as he passed through the door, he was stared aG
by the box-keeper, who left hint to rush off in quest of
the manager. He had scarcely purchased his seat ere en
official, with a couple of lighted candles, conducted him 1°
the only private box in the- house. Of course, be was
was much pleased with the attention; but one thing sur-
prised him excessively—every time the curtain fell, the
band would insist upon striking up a very mild version of
`Ood Bless the Prince of Wales.' It is understood that,
upon the strength of this visit, the theatre has assumed
the title of Royal."

A MINIATURE VESSEL TO CROSS THE ATLANTIC
WITHOUT EITHER SAILS OR STEAM.—Yankee skill is Per"
petually at work devising and perfecting ingenious CO
trivaucos, both useful and ornamental, at which the world
marvels and stands aghast with admiring awe ; and whe
it is supposed that they have reached the acme of their
sublime inventing power the entire universe is again
startled with the announcement that the indomitable
Yankee has discovered something, a thousand-fold more won-
derful than was ever before dreamt of in man's philosoPliP
The latest invention of this kind that it is our province t°
chronicle is of the nature of a piece of marine machine/9
but which will obviate the necessity of steam, and will at the
same time do away with the masts, thus discarding the Oil!
proper, and yet receiving the motive power from four fen'
or sails of canvas ; in short, the invention is nothing more
nor less than a windmill ship, the machinery of which i 5
very simple and easily kept in repair. An upright tower,
seven feet in height from the deck, composed of wood and
hollow in the middle, after the fashion of a pump'
contains an iron rod which is attached to it re-
volving head on the top of the tower, and, running
through this pump or tower, to a cross-bar resting across
the keilson, where, by the means of two mitre wheels'
working at right angles, a direct acting shaft is made t°
turn an ordinary propelling wheel. The rod is confined
to its proper place in the centre of the tower by means of
journals. Capping the tower aro two mitre wheels work-
ing on the revolving head, and through this head passes
the counter shaft to which the wind mill is attached'
These fans furnish the motive power, and are composed of
four oak frames, in the form of a common window frame,
the space in the centre being oc'upied with canvas work-
ing an iron rod, which, by means of halyards leading t°
the decks, can be reefed at will. A reversing motion
obtained from a double wheel on the propelling shaft and
,y,orked by a clutch leading aft to the cock pit. An iron
rod leading from the revolving head to the deck, and held
there by a set screw and'vforking on 0.-segment of a circle
on the deck, enables the navigator to lay her a°
close to the wind as any ordinary sailing vesset
The credit of this invention belongs to Captain 1e,1;
Powell, a native of Brooklyn, who is now engrig°"„:i
building a small vessel, about the size of the famous Bra,
White, and Blue, to be worked on this novel principle, 'll
which he proposes to taking passage for Europe about the
middle of June next. The dimensions of his vessel wit
`
be as follows :—Length, twenty-six feet ; breadth of beam;
seven feet; and depth of hold, three feet. In the ease 0;
storms he can easily reef or take in his sails and heave his
vessel to with a drag. Captain Powell feels confident
that he can make between six and seven knots per lieu
in an ordinary breeze.—New York Herald.
