OF all the Periodical Journals devoted to Litera-

this country, this has appeared to me to be the most
useful. II contains, indeed the exposition only of
the current literature of the English language, but
this, by it's immense extent and comprehension, in

BRITrsH AND AMERICAN SAILs.-Captain Matsou
X. NJ, writes to the London Times that the supe-
rior sailing of the America is in great measure
due to the excellence of her calls He says:
"The America is quite much indebted for her
victory TO the cut and make of her sails to the
form of her hull, If not more During the trial of
the 22d was on board a steamer on the weather
bow OF the America, in company with several of
my brother officers; it then became question
among US whether that vessel had any msinsai set
or not, which could not discover with the aid Of
spy glass. So completely the sail covered by
the mainmas, that not a particle of il was vsible
There was no belly, and the gaff exactly paral-
lei with the boom; in fact, il stood like board.
have no hesitation in saying that such a sail has
never yet been made in England; at least during
my long experience have never seen one.''
1t ia we'll known to nautical men that the British
saimakers adhe g TO the antiquated style of belly
ing" sails. The America undoubtedly has better
sails than the English yachts, but she also has ii
better model, especially for sailing in rough sea-

days until the whole is paid.
The advantages of such road TO the city, and
the property in the vicinity of the road, must be
apparent to all conveTsant with ts situation There
is but little doubt that a similar road will be
built, connecting this road with Rockville and
Brookville-the last in the midst of fine agri

route from Montgomery and the upper part OF
Anne Arundel counties TO this city for the trans
poration OF the products of that and the surround

structed throughout the country, and have every
iuhsre proved profitable investments, paying large
