1ico NeU Intentions for Steam TrareL
hng-Two models Of new inventions, con-
nected with the all-absorbing subject Of
travelling by steam onland on water, have
recently been deposited at the Polytechnic
Institution, in Regent street, London. One
of these is plan, devised by Dr. Spurgin,
for preventing engines and carriages run
ming off the rails, the greatest danger TO
which railway locomotion is exposed. The
alteration proposed by the inventor appears
to be once simple, effective, and practical
bic. By elevating the line of the rail a
sufficient height above the ground, room
will be gained 10 permit a large portion Of
the body of the engine or carriage 10 90
below the wheels on which they travel, be-
ing affixed 10 their sides instead Of under
meath. BY this arrangement the centre of
gravity will be much nearer the rail than
il IS al present, and greater portion Of

We mentioned the extraordinary outrage
of New-York packet ship, the South
America, having been fired into by a Bri-
tlsh Revenue Cruiser. The particulars are
thus given by Liverpool paper:
Captain Bailey Of the S. A. first saw
the vessel about twelve miles. She was
then standing across his bows. She tackled
and hove to, and the South America PASSED
within hail. Captain Bailey called some
OF his passengers TO look at her, as one Of
them, an American gentleman, who had
never been INTO this country, had never
seen an English yacht Ii was Immediate
" subject Of remark, that she carried an
unusual number of hands, her crew con-
sisting of about % men. The South Anne
RIGA having passed her, she made sail in
pursuit, and IN few moments fired n sho,
which dropped about half ships length
ahead of the South America, on the star
hoard side. Two other shots followed in
quick succession, the first of which passed.
as near as could be ascertained, over the
fore yard arm; the second struck the shin
on the starboard quarter. Captain Bailey,
astonlshed at the Suddcnness Of the attack.
and having on his deck 1875 stecrage and
several cabin passengers, thought it best
TO heave the ship TO. This was immcd-
ateIy done; but even then, two more shots
were fired, enc Of which struck the wafer
about ten feet from the rudder. Captain
Bailey, who was standing on the taffrail at
the time, distinctly saw this sho: strike the
water. One Of the men who was emploved
aolt heard shot whistle close past him.
In trepediation he seized the first rope that
came TO hand and decended to the deck.
The strange craft, when she came up,
hailed the South America as follows: "Shp
ahoy!" IaIlo!" was the reply. "Wherc
are you from?" - New York. 4" What's
yourcargo?" "Wheat and -four" respond
ed Capt. Bailey, who added, ''Who, and
what are you?' the only reply was, "Whv
don't you hoist your color" The strange
crafts Immediately hauled her wind aud
went off. The South America made sail
and came up TO this port

The Propeller Steamboat This vessel
was built in the yard of Mr.. Dichburn
Blackwell. The engine by which her pad
dies, or Propellers, as they are termed are
worked, was made by Mr.. Beale the eng-
neer, at his premises at Greenwich. She
is small vessel, but very elegant in her
proportions, and formed TO cut through the
water with great rapidly. The engine is
OF "a horse power. The propcllers differ
from the paddle wheels used by other stea-
mers, in being single blades of Iron, only
one bIal on each side Of the vessel, and
not series of blades brought into the wa
ter by the revolution of the wheels, each
blade is very broad and large, and dips al
most perpendIcularly into the water, so
that the conclusion formed by the blades
OF the paddle wheels dipping into the wa
ter at angles is avoided, and the conse-
quont unpleasant vibration Of the We ssel
Directly the blade dips into the water it
is forced back by an arm or limb Of iron,
performing motion similar to the leg and
web foot Of an aquatic bird, and by means
OF this motion the vessel is propelled for
ward. She can perform from 10 TO IL
knots or miles on hour. The appearance
Of the propelIers is like that of the legs of
grasshopper, and when in motion their
action in some degree rescmbl the legs OF
that insect in its walk. One great advan-
tage IS, that the propellers occasion no
swell in the water, no wake or trough in
the river, and no backwatcr, so that no
danger is occasioned to small boats by the
rapidity Of her progress. This vessel now
runs hourly between Blackwell and Green
wIch, and appears TO be great favorte,
from the number Of passengers she is con-
tlnually conveying backward and forward
between those places.
