but which that danseuse has repudiated as firmly as
the State of Mississippi has repudated the five mil
lions of Union bonds. II appears, however, by the
journal that these papers have been furnished by
Mr.. Henry Wyckof, well known in this city as
having been the man of business attendant, chef de
eHisine clerk, and evwy thing else to Fanny during
her conquering career in this country. These
sketches are rather amusing, although destitute of
much originality, and certainly wanting the piquan-
cy, the spirit, and the genius which one would at
tribute to Fanny herself. The ideas appear to have
been picked up from the newspapers and from the
bizarre articles and extravagant eulogums publish
ed out OF mere fun about Fanny by many OF the
newspapers. i Hfei e-.t Nia
II seems that the proprietor Of Frascr's Maya
zine, in reply to the disclaimer of Fanny, which
appeared in the London Times, Indignantly asserted
that Mr.. Wyckofi had the authority of Fanny Els
sler year ago TO publish these sketches, and that
it had never been Withdrawn. We have every rea-
son to believe, however, that Fanny withdrew all
favors of that kind after her return to Europe,
where she quarrelled with Wyckof, but what
the quarrel distinctly was, never could learn.
But after all, it's no matter whether this is le-
climate publication not, the sketches are rather
amusing, and become more so, as their distinguish

LAUNCH OF THE IRON SrEAMER.-About noon last
Saturday the new revenue screw propeller Legare
was launched into the Hudson.
This new cutter is built entirely Of iron, and is
beautiful specimen OF naval architecture, being l40
feet long, ~ feet beam, and 800 tons burthen She
is remarkably bouyant, drawing one foot less water
than other vessels of the same size. She will mount
ten guns, besides long Tom of the Paixhan order,
which will traverse on her bow, and another at her
stern These guns are Of brass, and will keep all
smugglers in awe.
The Legare now lies at the Phoenix Foundry,
where she will receive on board her engines, built
under the direction of Captain Ericsson. She was
launched with the propeller rugged in her stern.
There are three compartments in this cutter, sepa-
rated by two bulk-heads, which are entirely indie
pendent of each other. All her machinery is below
the water ine and, therefore, out of the reach OF
shot.
This vessel has been built with five others, which
will be shcrtly launched, under the direction OF
Captain Howard, CT the revenue service, from the
model OF Capt. Ericsson. Their sides only five
Fights of an inch in thickness, below the water
line; and three-e ights of an inch above. There is
no "pank," as Maturin says, "between us and
destruction" Nevertheless, she is computed to be
stronger than plank Of full seven inches in thick
ness can make a vessel In short, strength is gain
ed while nearly three feet Of timber room is saved
by this superb and simple invention.
Iron vessels are rapidly taking the place of wood
en- ones in all parts of the world.
