EXPERIMENTS IN NAyIGhTros.--Mr. Watson,
gentleman Of fortune residing in Manchester,
England, has lately patented plan for a re
yolving sail shlp,n model Of which has been ex-
hibited on the Mersey. The prominent feature
of the invention consists In the introduction Of
a set Of sixteen revolving sails, similar IN shape
70 the fans of a windmill. These sails are ele.
waited on wheel and attached to spindle. As
soon the wind touches the sails, they instantly
set the spindle in motion. when, by simple
piece Of machinery, a couple Of paddles are pro.
PEELED. The objects sttsined by the continuance
are, increased speed and the advantage Of sailing
against head wind Oh another invention, in
which submerged paddles are used, the discovery
being due to Mr.. Viut Of Colchester, an account
has previously been given. Both are clained to
be entirely successful.
