Friday, Mrs. Coutts, accompanied by Lord and
Lady Dudley Stuart, arrived at the residence of the
former lady, in Piccadilly, from Brighton ; and Satur-
day, being the anniversary of Mrs. Coutta's birth-day,
was observed with unusual splendour. She had a
large party to dinner, and gave a rout (the first for the
season) in the evening. She left town yesterday for
Brighton, the season net having as yet commenced in
the West End.

SPEED OF STEAM BOATS.--.-1.11 an American
Paper which lately' reached us, we find an account of a trial
voyage of the New Philadelphia, a steam-boat launched in August.
She sailed from Philadelphia to Gape Mary, at the mouth of Deta-
ware, in nine hours two minutes, deducting stoppages, andreturned
next day against a heavy owe and a head wind, in eight hours 15
minute's. The dittanee is stated in Mr. Mellish's hook to be 104
miles, but the length of the line sailed over may be estimated at
three or four miles more. The return voyage therefore gives the
astonishing velocity of IS miles an hour, " against a head 'wind
and a heavy sea." The voyage nut was a little slower, probably,
because the tide was against her in that case, and in her favour
on the return, both voyages having been performed at the same ,
time of the day. , The paddle-wheels, which are said to be of an
improved centstruetion, are 14 feet in diameter, and Made el re'
volutions in a minute, Their circumference, therefore, moved at
the rate of 14 miles an hour; and the loss of motion from the
yielding or displacing of the water was only one-fourteenth. We
suspect the accuracy of this pert of the account, for in wn'e el""
we have knowit.the loss of way from this cause to amount to more
than one-thirtl,..,geottritan.
