PROGRESS OF STEAM BOATS.


Il rs little more than 10 years succ the
editor Of this Magazine received letter
rom his friend Fulton, in New York, TO
hpprlhr him oithc success Of his first steam
packet between thai city aid Albany
The substance of that letter was inserted in
the Monthly Magazine for March lall I;
bul before il was printed the editor read ii
to the Earl Stanhope, whose experiment
on mechanical navigation had excited
much attention. TIN nobleman, however,
like the Donay professors in the case of the
telescope, set about 10 demonstrate he I'M
possibility of the thing, and convinced him
sell, II not his auditor, that Fulton had mis-
represented the fact. The letter however
appeared, and the attention of our 8pccu-
laufe mechanics being dawn Ia the sub
yeet, the American STRAIN boat was not on
ly initiated in The rivers Of Britain, but cs-
scntiaIIy improved by their skill aud sci
ence. We have now, therefore, more than
Oh" hundred steam vessels plying IN yari-
olls parts OF the empire, mol merely against
Tue current OF our rivers, 50 as to render
parallel canals ~ ridiculous rs the aquc-
ducts Of the anclcns, but performing their
voyages, III the face of tides and winds, in
the adjacent seas. Thus London and Ed
lnburgh, London and Calais, Liverpool and
Dublin, Holyhead and Dublin, Bristol and
Liverpool, Brighton and Meppc, are now
connected by steam vessels winch perform
thelr voyages IN measured time but With
III the past month an iron vessel, $50 tons
burthen, has performed its frs voyage
from London to Paris direct. Ii reached
HnlIn Gif a. Gtf, ha.,ps md n1
from Roucn IN day and night, pOtwith-
standing an accident in is i cl,le. We re-
gard this as AN event of great social impor-
lance to manhind and record it with singu-
lar pleasure. II is the triumph of isoIacd
genus over the inyeterate prejudice Of ar
r0gant societies, all Of whom have virllent-
lyoppused themselves to the Improvements
of our age and in no casr done more 10
accelerate them, than the rlaiest persons
III the community. Thus, notwithsianda
ihg He royal associations Of men of science,
Franc alone has alcteeded IN establshln9
but two or three steam vessels. IN Aus
tina, Jerome BoOapare, almost unaidcd,
munihc eaily exp nded 1000, IN vainly
endeavoring to complete one t. navigate
tile Danube. Only one ha, been establish
ed on the Adriatic and, if one has been
started on the Baltic, il is the speculation
of q >roichlnaD. The lakes and rivers Of
North America are nevertheless filed with
tllem, and we may soon expect to hear Of
Their connecting the Doahera with the SOU
them continent and al pat O the latter
by means Of the vast rivers which pene-
tlate the interior. The public are await
ing with anxiety the results Of Mr.. GrIlliih's
patent for steam land carriages, of the pro-
gros9 aud experiments ON which we shall
duly apprise our readers.

DISTURBANCES AT ST SALVADOR

h.
Capt Brace informs us, that from the 18th to the
24th February great connections and many bloody
scenes had taken place at St Salvador, in conse
quence OF the arrival OF European General to take
command Governor and Military Chief; sun.
ported by the European Portuguese troops, about
5000 IN number, he demanded of the Brazilian
COMMANDER the resignation OF his authority and
Inc latter, supported by the native troops and popu.
lace, refusing, they were fired upon in the Palace
Square, and considerable number killed and
wounded %Ihe Brazlllians were compelled to re
treat to fort San Pedro, where they renamed ill
the 2lst, when they evacuated it, and retired 10 he
country, leaving their commander d prisoner, who
would probably be sent TO Europe for trial During
these days about 500 Brazillians were killed and
wounded, and about so oil the European troops.
Many OF the former were shot down while peace
ably passing the streets.
During these transactions, all business was sus
pended at 81 Salvador, the merchants and MANY ~
Their inhabitants having retired to the shipping for
safety
When capt b. sailed (97th February tranquility
was IN great measure restored, and business re-
sumed' but It was expected the BraziIlians would
soon return in greater force and attack the place.
when bloody work was anticipated.
