STEAM BOAT.

COCOONS, JUNR 12.--Today about noon we
enjoyed a sight equally novel and entertaining; a
'pretty laVge vessel, without a mast, ascending the
Rhine, and, proceeding with astonishing rapidity,
arrive before this city. All the vesseli stationed
on the Rhine, in this neigbourhood, were in a
Moment covered with spectators, to see the arri-
val of this vessel, which is a Steam Boat coming
from London, and bound to Frankfort. Every
body was eager to view the progress, the motion,
and the organization of this master-piece of art.
This vessel left Rotterdam on the 6th. The p:►s-
sengers affirm that it can go 25 leagues in a day.
By a rough calculation the invention of Steam
Engines gives the English nation a daily profit of
50,000 pounds sterling, by the saving in manual
labour.

We have received Calcutta Jonrnals of the
Month of December last. A vessel from that port
to the. Isle of France, called the Sally and Mary,
had been nearly seized by some of the crew,
headed by a Malay man ; but the Commander
fortunately overpowered the mutineers. Similar
attempts, it is said, have frequently been mark on
various country vessels, and Sometimes with too
good success.

Letters from POint-i-Petre, Gualla{nape, men+

surgents at Barhadoes and Antigua, inasmuch as
the skips were at sea ut the very juncture when
the insurrection at the island took place. It was
