STEAM BOATS.

heSe vessels nave now become so COM
mon and for the transportationOf passen-
gers and goods, that they only excite ten
ton hen they are about to perform some
extraordinary voyage, and 10 give new tacl-
lties TO commercial enterprise. We have
| lately seen one OF our steamboats, cross the
Atlantic with perfect safety, exciting the as
tonisbment OF Europeans, who, now iths iand-
ing their jea!ousies, and constant attempts
| to underrate the genius of our countrymen,
are compelled in this instance 10 yield the
palm to America for this noble enterprize.-
A steam boat of 500 tons is now receiving
freight and passengers for Ohio and Ken
lucky, and various places on the Mississippi.
This is the first attempt OF this kind, the
success of which is SO little doubled, that she
is underwrtten nearly as low as vessels COM
monty are between this place and New.Or-
leans. We cannot but consider an enterprise
of this description OF great public utility, and
sincerely trust it may Prove successful 10 its
enterpiizing projectors. IN. York ID. I'D.
AN ARTICLE WORTHY THE ATTENTION OF LA :
DIES.
AT the late meeting Of the II afford Agricul-
tural Society, several articles OF domestic ma.
nufaclure were exhibited, of superior work
manship; and among tbe articles of wearing
apparel were two elegant mutations OF ladies
Leghorn hats, made by two young ladies',
from grass common in the vicinity of Hart
ford. Tbeywere closely comp red (says the
editor of the Connecticut airror) with the
finest Leghorns worn by the ladies in the city
OF Hartford, and SO very curiously we're they
wrought, that one of them at least, was pro-
nounced equal, # not superior, to any with
which it was examined. The material o
which they are made, so nearly resembles
that of the genuine Leghorns that il would
be difficult, il not impossible, to distinguish
one from the other. This grass is commonly
known by the name of tacklemaich grass; but
not being able TO procure specimen in sea
son, we are unable 10 give botanical de-
scripion of it at this tine.

A HOAX.

Some person having found means to ge,
communications inserted IN some of the city
newspapers, stating that number of fine
southern horses were to enter on the New
MarAet course yesterday. aud that there
would be an interesting trial of speed be-
tween the horses oil our own state, and those
of Virs mia, great nun ber of gentlemen
from the city attended to witness the sport.
On arrival at the race spot, they soon found
that they had been most wantonly imposed
upon: and that the only race they would see
would be between two horses, both bred on
Long. Island. Having come such a distance,
about 60 miles, the most Of them went 70 the
spot and saw the race according ty, which
was won with too much ease, by one OF the
horses, Being in fine order, against the other,
who was In no condition. And then they re-
turned, nearly as they vent. There was a
plenty of Long Island negroes un the ground,
and number OF tents with uaeel Of fortune
tables, pharo tables, and othe species OF un-
disguised gambling; in short, the whole
scene was disgusting. But, if we are not
mistaken, it is the last time such despica-
bic farce will ever be acted at New Market.
