MODELS or STEAM VESSELS Some Eagl;sh
sayan has promulgated as new discovery the
fact that the speed Of steam vessels might be
greatly increased by making Them sharper, and
stated that this fact was known and practised in
this country years ago. The Scientific Amcri-
can gives to the late Robert L. Stevens the
credit of being the first person who improved
the models of our river steamboats, by extend
ing their lincs-gving them fine sharp en-
trance, and clean run aft--thcrcby nearly
doubling their speed, without much increasing
their engine power. This must have been near
y quarter of century ego Yet the ".im-
proved" model has just been discovered" in
England, and it will be another quarter of a
century before it is practically applied so no
toriously slow are the British to'dcpart from
established models. -

THg HOTEL HARVEST AT CIycrNNArr-The

charges Of the Burnet house during the late
Cincinnati Convention, instances some cases
We hear Of gentlemen being charged IS day
for board-though even at that price they could
not get single rooms. Bills were made out in
grcss-and the sums were stated in round num-
bers. One ofthc delegations from New Eng
land paid some $3.50 for small room for their
conference. The Hard delegation paid $i5o
for theirs. And the Softs paid sO5 for room
rent alone In one OF the two rooms occupied
by the. latter were several beds in which the
delegates slept. But their board was probably
the same as il their room rent was not already
paid Other delegations had corresponding
bills to settle but We doubt whether any other
State suffered SO much as New York

THE CASE OF PALMER, the Stry chime murder

mails of crime His life reveals u career of guilt

in the rapidity of its success. From gambling
to fraud, from fraud to forgery, from forgery 70
murder, he passed apparently without hcsita-
ton; until, at last, taking human life became
IA study and habit, the principal means on
which he relied to procure money to satisfy his
Unsuitable thirst for vice. In 1854 he murdered
his wife, in the following year he murdered his
brother Walter Palmer, and two months after
the commission Of that crime he murdered his
friend William Cook ; not from any impulse of
revenge, not from any sense Of injury, real or
imaginary, but from the bascst and most groy-
cling OF all motives, thirst for lucre to recover

lives, amounting to 427 900

MExrco.-Latest adv;ce> from Mexico state
that the struggle in the Assembly against the
government of Comonfort, had Terminated in
favor Of the latter. Gen. Averez had resigned
his seat, and retired from the city in disgust at
the conduct of some of the executive officials
who were anxious to use his influence for selfish,
personal interest, instead of the general welfare.
The Spanish minister, Miguel de los Santos
Akcrez, had reached the city of Mexico, but

is said, while the Spanish feet maintained its
threatening attitude in. the harbor of Vera
Cruz. There was, however, much excitement
and fear that Comonfort would be compelled to
