The Race between the Princeton and Great
WesIeIli.

The Race between the Princeton and Great
Western.
The promised race between the Princeton and
Great Western took place yesterday in New Y TX
Bay, and as far as the result is known, the Prince.
ton came # the victor. The Tribune SAYS thn Great
Western came in sight, emerging from the East
River and slowly unrolling her canvass to tie
breeze. Many warm and generous wish follow.
ed her. as she floated away. In few minutes the
Princeton shot ou, from the Hudson, showing
paddle wheels or pipe, and moving as if carried
long by sWif, current alone. AS she passed Cas-.
tie Garden, she was greeted with shou,--and no
wonder for in the clear sun light her beautiful mo-
del and long taper masts presented one of the fines,
specimens Of ship architecture we have ever seen.
The Great Western apparently waited her ap.
proach, when they moved off together. The Prnce>
ton held her own, altogether beyond expectation
for she had no, rag ofcanvass up, while the Great
Western threw out sheet after sheet. On such
smooth sea, with the wind fair abeam, her canvass
alone mus, have taken her FIVE or six knots an
hour.
They proceeded together without any seeming diff
ference speed TO the quarantine, when the Pincc-
ton had so closed with her that she was nearly a.
boom about half mile below she was aboom.
when she let fall her f5reopsail and shot pas, and
ahead in one minute. The Princeton entered the
Norrows with fore and main'opsas, ib and foresail
set, and when she disappeared behind the point of
Long Island, at twenty minutes past three, she
was eight miles from the Battery and half mile
ahead of the Western AS seen from the Battery,
the Princeton was lioppng behind the western Bluff
Of the Narrows. This is triumph for the Princeton,
triumph for Capt Stockton and for the builders of
his beautiful shp-ihe Philadelphia shipwrghts.

AMERICAN INDUSTRY AND INGE.
NUIrY.-Messrs J Russell g. Co. pro
prietors Of the Green River works, M
Greenfield, Massachusetts. are manufac-
tur ing cutlery which is pronounced by
the New York Tribune TO be fully equal
in material ard finish TO the best Spcci
mems Of the rival wares Of Sheffield
The articles manufactured are sod much
lower than English cutlery. The en-
tcrprising proprietors turn out one humid
red dozen OF knives and forks per day,
and are now making arrangements for n
still farther extension Of their business.
DR. Bond, Of New York, formerly OF
this city, in a letter from Rock and,
gives an interesting description Of the
machinery at Haverstraw, Rockland
Cou nty, New York, for making needles.
This is the first attempt Of the kind in
this country, and our readers will doubt
less be rejoiced TO learn tina. II is now
almost perfected. DR. B. says
saw needles in various stages orthe
processes by which they are made from
the wire,p pared on the same premises;
and was surprised at the facility afford
ed by the curious machinery which hu.
ma ingenuity has invented to lessen
the manual labor, and multiply the re-
suits Of the hume rous operations. The
wire is first cut into lengths, which will
make two needles each. The depres-
.sions where the eyes are 10 be made and
where the grooves are found in the
finished article, are stamped in both
needles BY single stroke ofa machine,
with which a single hand can turn off
$4,000 in day. u is then turned over
10 a boy, who, with another machine,
punches the eyes, ans again another
sepa rates the two needles and smooths
nwav any irregularities left or made BY
the former processes. But the eye Of
the needle is still rough, and must be
bored by another process, which leaves
q so smooth as not 10 cut the thread
After this, a man grinds a handful at a
slime on ucomnon grindstono, holding
them IN his left hand and giving them
a perpetual rotary motion with the right,
90 that, when the operation is finished, I
they mus be round as we'll as sharp
They arc now to be ease hardened5 and /
finally Furnished, all which is done by
simple processes,in which immense nun.
bcrs can be subjected 10 lac operation at

SINGULAR PHENONENON

~ ~ IN II ~ DnG
OF these wonders of Nature so rarely
witnessed was sterday seen by several
rn' this city, whose station and respecta-
bility place their testimony beyond dis
pute. One of the gentleman who was
fortunate enough to have seen what we
are about 10 narrate,is our informant
The fog which yesterday overhung the
city spread in dense volumes over the
valley which lies between the town and
the heights towards the northwest.-
Early in the afternoon, lady residing
IN St Lewis street had her attention
drawn by one OF her children, who was
gazing from the window, 10 the rcsem
blance Of shi p in the air. The appear
ance resented was that Of a miniature
VesseI-a brig beating 10 windward.
with all sails set.and apparently floating
on the surface Of the mist So distinctly
visible was it that the spectators (Cor it
was seen at the same time by several
others) could trace the shrouds and the
smallest of the rigging the mainsail ap-
peared n be clewed up in three places.
What rendered the sight still more beat
iiful was the presencs Of shadow Of
the vessel, as in the wafer, the outline,
masts, &c. being reversed, as when
thrown from vessel actually moving
through the water. This phenomenon
was again seen towards the evening, but
less distinctly visible. 1t appeared in
the fog over the valley below Charles
