The ships Virgins ia, from Liverpool.
and James Monroe, from Ha,re, arriv-
ed yesterday. The former sailed on
the oath and the la tier on the 2Sth ult.
The commercial advices from Liver
pool are no later than those received
by the Courier. Our London papers
are one day later, but furnish no news
of consequence. The James Monroe
brought no French papers, several re-
gular ships having sailed a day or W
previous; we are consequently without
any political intelligence.
Our commercial advlces from Havre
are by no me %ha,lerng for Cotton.
Recent sales had be en- effected at 80 to
So sous for Louisiana; % l-2 to 80 for
Georgia, and 81 for AIabama-but the
article was dull, owing, as is stated, to
the spectators having thrown their
purchases into market. 4 letter of the

The old steam ship Robert Fulton
now lies at the Navy Yard, New-York.
Her engine has been taken out aItoge-
Their, and she has been fitted up as a
receiving ship. She is to be furnished
with & complete set of masts, spars
and rigging, and is TO serve as a Rig
cling School. Sailors, when first employ
ed, will be placed on board this vessel,
when competent masters will deter
mine whether they are qualified as sea
men. If so, whenever a vessel of the
Navy is despatched, her complement
of seamcn will be Of the first character.
II upon being placed on board the Ful-
ton, they are found %nacquainted with
the duties which they will be called ON
to fill, they receive such instruction as
is necessary. 1t is calculated that eve
ry month the Fulton will present the
appearance of a full rugged ship, and
again that of a dismasted one. The
scholars will be kept continually at
work in making, arranging and taking
down the different parts of the rigging.
The establishment of this school is We
ry laudable. BY these means our navy
a always be supplied with first rate
seamen, and, Of course, raw and in.
experienced hands will receive such
knowledge as will fit them for their
profession. Ffeeman's Journal.

PRINTING PRESS.
stated some time ago that | had
completed a small steam press, or a
press to work with lever power, and
with sufficient rapididy to produce
1000 impressions per hour, but could
not discover a satisfactory mode ofsup-
plying my ink rollers, and solicited the
cooperation Of some of my yankee
brethren. A Mr.. w. H.. Hale, who
halls | understand from Boston, and is
a silversmith, called upon me, and soon
removed the difficulty by the formation
of an ink-trough, which, supplying one
roller, communicates the ink rapidly
to the other roller; and after a short
time my model was complete, and is
SO simple and ~eficacious, and works
with so much ease, that $500 impress
sions may be thrown off in the hour,
and by the introduction Of a heavy n.y.
wheel, the press is worked by a crank,
aad with the labor Of one hanI and
two boys to feed the cylinder with pa
per-thus superseding the necessity OF
steam, water or horse power. Mr..
Hale shall share the profits of the in
yeDtiOn, for which a caycat is entered,
and | have no doubt that it will super
sede all other presses, as the cost will
be very reasonable.
