THE PROGRESS OF STEAM HAVIGA-
TIOy,

The November number of the American Re
pertory contains a very interesting paper, read
by Count Darn, to the French Chamber Of Dep
uties on the project of law to establish steam
communication between France and this country.
and from which we condcnse the following sta
tistics of the progress of the steam navigation.
1t was in 1907 that the first steamboat appear
ed; it was constructed by Fulton; its engine had
power of eighteen horses, and accomplished the
passage from N. York to Albany in tkirty-three
hours. 1t was the lot of the United States, whose
streams, lakes, and extensive coasts, interrupted
by enormous bavs, and covered with islands, are
so well adapted to the establishment Of steam-
ers, to enter the first in his career, and to ce-
nent, by means of this wonderful Instrument OF
communication, the bond of unity between the
population scattered on its soil in state Of iss-
lation, and almost completely without communi-
cation with each other.
The progress OF steam navigation from that
period was very rapid in this country. We see
in an official report, presented on the 18Th De
cember, 1888, to Congress, by the Secretary oi
the Treasury, that thirteen hundred Steamboats,
have been built in the United States. from 1908
to 1899; of these eight hundred are still service
able.
In England, the first steamer was launched
on the Clyde, in 1911 It is not undressing to
see the progress made by Great Britain ii This
particular The last statistical reports publish
ed in Liverpool, give, on this point, the follow
data:-There were, in 1872, only steamboats,
ia England; in 1914, only five; in 1925, there
were already one hundred and sixty-eigbt; in
1885, five hundred and thrty-eight; and in 1889.
eight hundred and forty steamers.
In France, the first attempts date scarcely
sooner than from 1920; and it was only in 1926
after many fruitess attempts that regular ser.
vice OF steam packets was established on the
Seine. The state of the rivers of France are
greatly calculated to retard the rapid advance.

offers depth Of water which is frequently insult
ficient; and the Seine has its frequent bends
In the last account given by the Marine Admin
istration, we see that there was, 10 1888, seven
ty-fve steamboats;m 1884, eighty-two: in 1885,
one hundred; in 1886, one hundred and five; in
1887, one hundred and twenty-four. and IN 1888.
one hundred and sixty. This statement does
not include government steamers, of which
there are thirty-eight, carrying engines OF from
one hundred and sixty to two hundred and fifty
horse power.
Thus England hslds the first rank; the
United States the second and France the
third.

Savannah, crossed the ocean ts Liverpool, part
ly bywind, and partly by steam. Thus our

RHODE ISLAND

ELECTORAL C.-LEGE OF RHODE Island
The Electoral College ofthis State met at Pro-

ing the Hon. Nicholas Brown, Chairman. The
four Electoral votes ofRhode Island, were then
cast for WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON,
for President, and JOHN TYLER, for Vice
President, and sealed and forwarded in the usu-
al manner
The Providence Journal, in giving the form of
the vote, states that it was for William Hari-

will be nodanger of losing the vote of ''Little

Extract of a letter, dated

CoNNELsBURG, Pa, Dec 5, 1S4O
"GEN. D. GREEN.-DEAK SIR: l wish YOU to
send me five numbers of the Weekly Pilot,
which, we understand, will be two dellars, when
five numbers are taken at the same office en-
close you $40.
"it is with great satisfaction we have recently
seen some numbers of your valuable paper, and
especially, that you have the moral courage to
F'come out" and manfully discuss the question of
Popery in its political bearings. 1t has been,
we think, reProachful to the editorial corps"
that Throughout our whole country, so far as we
have known, not solitary editor of political
newspaper, of either party, has ventured to speak
out on this question, although so vitality connect
ed with the institutions and liberties of our
country. The disgrace Is now in part wiped
away, by the course you have taken-we wish
you all success. If you send me Prospectus, ,
l may procure for you some additional subscri-
bers.

PROSPECTUS.

The Protestant community are unwilling in any
way to abridge the rights of conscience, and
hence are slow to believe, although it
has been publicly charged from the pulpit, and
in religious newspapers, that there is well
arranged conspiracy to overthrow our free ins6-
buttons; and that the Church of Rome, in ALI
anee with the most despodc governments of
Europe, is making extraordinary efforts to dis
seminate Romanism in the United States, enter
tanning hope that the time is near at hand
when the seat of its empire may be transferred
to this country. The arrogant pretensions of
Bishop England and his associates, the aclnow-
lodged agents of foreign despots their establish
ment at prominent points in the United States
OF Catholic presses, conducted by their ablest
writers, and their open attempt, during the late
election, to consolidate Catholic voters as politi-
cal body, constitute crisis, calculated to arrest
the attention of the American public; and,
warranting an examination into the truth
of these charges, and how far our civil institu-
tons may be affected by the purposes in question
1t is believed that, as Romanism is a civil in
stitution, to discuss how far its predominance in
the United States may affect our civil rights, and
abridge our religious privileges, belongs appro
priately to the political press. The undersigned,
therefore, proposes to treat it in its political
aspect, and to discuss its bearing upon our
institutions.
1t is proposed to render the Pilot a valuable
commercial and political paper; to give to it
high moral tone, carefully excluding from its CO.
lumns everything which may be offensive to the
and the leading speeches in Congress, on both
sides, will be given at length and with the polit
cal matter and news, published in weekly paper
of double size, in quartO form, suited TO binding,
constituting candid and impartial history of the
times, with an index carefully prepared for
future reference.
The Pilot will be free press--as far as
possible, without partisan bias; asserting at all
times the opinions of the editor with indepen-
dence yet dealing with fairness and candor to-
wards political opponents. In asserting our
purpose to speak of Romanism as any other po-
litical influence, we by no means propose TO de-
vote the paper exclusively to that subject. We
consider it & political question, having most
important bearing upon our institutions, anb
believe that it should be discussed, that it may
be understood. We know that we have to
encounter many prejudices, and particularly in
this community; but we are confident in our
hopes that patronage sufficient to deiray the ex-
pense of publication may be secured IN support
of the paper. With this view this prospectus is
submitted. Respectfully,
DUFF GREEN.
