A DuroHMAN's OPINION OF New York FoRr1F1-
CATIONS AND AMERICAN TRooPs.-The AHgemeine
Zeitmg, of February H. talks of the Notifications OF
New York after this wise
II We enter the port or bay of New York through
the NaroWs, there certainly various forts visible
whose situation is well chosen and could be made i'm
pregnabe, but whose present constructions are worth
less. On the right-hand side is half:round tower
connected by bridge with Long Island which could
scarcely resist the broadsides Of few frigates and
would be sooner silenced than Bomarsund was Above
1t on hill is constructed Fort Hamilton, charmngly
situated bnt its efficiency towards the seaside is
doubtful and could scarcely bring twenty cannon to
bear on the Narrows.
Now the Yankee, who has not the slightest idea of
European Notifications, firmly believes that any YES
sci approaching the NalrOWs can be stopped and
sunk He still more knows that the left-hand side
OF the entrance, on Staten Island and opposite Fort
Hamilton are several batteries, but he neither knows
their situation nor their capacities There is in fact
an open battery of forynine cannon connected with
new aud probably not yet finished fort, which may
be formidable as long as it is not assailed. A hostile
fleet IS generally provided with sufficient army and
in case serious obstacles should delay the capture of
the port nothing could be easier executed than the
capture OF New York, Long Island and Staten Island
which have both beautiful landings and whatever
troops the United States could gather together their
pcrfomance'against any European army, value at
nothing. We are morally persuaded that one thou
sand picked troops of Europe would make easy work
of any ten thousand natives particularly now, when
the foreign population would certainly not fight in
favor of America. A landing therefore would be the
easiest thing in the world, and some companies OF
chasseurs would not only kill in short time the can
nonieIs and silence the forty-nine pieces of heavy
calibre but would even them for the capture Of
the newly erected forts.
1t may be doubtful whether Fort Hamilton could
be taken by coup de MAN. but it is clear that few
earth batteries could monopolize its attention and
prevent it from ailordins the Narrows any protection
Such plan would be preferable, because the army
and the fleet could take possession of that point which
it might choose to make the basis of future opera
tions Even should the forts be regularly beseged
and the fleet prevented from entering the army would
be obliged to advance to Brooklyn. Here it must
take not only possession of the Arsenal but occupy
and fortify hill, which is known under the name Of
Fort Green, and Is now used as a public promenade.
By this operation the enemy would ut once command
New York and its picturesque enyirons, and by the
complete Nominations of such an important point,
half America would be in the harTls of the enemy,
who could there easily prevent the fitting out OF pr

a NOVEL. STEAM ESGINE.-AIr James Black eN-
hblted yesterday, at the machine shop of Mr.. NJ Al
der, a novel steam engine, for which he has applied
for patent. 1t is called the " Impellng Engine, =
and the whole engine consists of four cylinders, each
three feet six inches long, ten inches in diameter and
fifty pounds. Each two opposite pstons connect with
rods No cross heads, piston rods cranks or slides
are required but merely pully for the band, which
is placed at the end of the shaft This engine sabot
space of eight feet by four feet The inventor claims
for it great saving in the consumption of fuel, in
consequence of the direct action of the steam upon
the cylinders and pistons which rcvovc like the arms
of windmill, and any required amount of power may
be given to these engines by increasing the length,
breadth and weight Of the cylinders To give it its
full power it is claimed that only one-third the pres
sure of steam is required as in ordinary steam zines
The engine is certainly novel in its construction and
will attract much attenton.--TPh ledger.

Upon the same subject the Mirror of the l4th

The Arctic has now been out thirty-two days in
looking for the Pacific. She has on board five officers
and a crew of fourteen with provisions and coal
enough on board to last several months. 1t possible
she may have become ice-bound, Or she may have
gone to the Western Islands, Lieut.. Harstein will

MARSHAL FAMLANT-An anecd0te is related of
Marshal Valiant the French Minister at War known

tired Captain companion in arms of the same for

War for an appointment, then vacant, which he con-
sdered himself capable Of filing The Marshal threw
the petition the table without looking at it, rudeIy
renarking that it was .all trash.' The old soldier
withdrew in despair. On the following morning, at

The poor Captain determined to quit Paris imn,edi-

prospect of being able to make better provision for
his wife and family. His establishment and JOY may
be imagined, when on reaching home he found Q

HORRIBLE DEATH IN THOMAS COUNTY, GEORGIA.
The Thomasvle Enterprise records the death of Mr..
Daniel Kornega of that county. Mr.. K. was engaged
in ginning Sea Island Cotton on roller gin when he
was informed by servant in attendance that the
lint was on fire in the room below. where it was
received from the gin He Immediately plunged into
the lintroom through small aperture left for unelog-
gng the mouth Of the gin which had not yet caught
in fames but shocking to relate his entrance into the
room produced a current of air which Immediately
famed the fire into flame. and involved the whole
in confagration. Mr.. K, attempting to escape,
rushed to the door of the lintroom and called out
for assistance; but most unfortunately the door was
fastened on the outside with paddock, and the KEY
at the time in his pocket The unfortunate man was
taken from the deyouring elements few hours after
nearly consnmed-both arms and legs burned entirely
off, and only small portion of his body remained to
be inferred by his weeping friends. ...-..
THE GREATEST OF WAR-VEssELs-The New Yorl,
Mirror publishes an article upon the six new steam
fngates OF our navy, from which we extract the
following in regard to the Niagara @"
Our opinion of her, in some respects suggests that
she should have been named the g Young America
Her dimensions have frequently been described in the
newspapers Her battery entirely original, consists
OF twelve ll-inch heavy cannon, throwing each a
soiiu shol weighing one hhndred and seventy pounds
at long range. Her guns are,also adapted for she'll
They are said to be superior in the chamber to the
famous PaiXhan, offering great diminution in the
recoi force when discharged besides having greater
strength at the breech. Her battery is 50 planned
that she can bring seven of her guns to bear on a
broadsde having one gun fore and aft pivoted so as
to fire on either side. The weight of her broatside
force is eleven hundred and ninety pounds, which ex
ceeds that of any rigate in the service being more
than equal to thirtyhree 32pounder solid shot and
we assume, vastly superior in proiectile force. The
weight Of each of her guns is equal to about five
medium 32pounder cannon.
We think that in case of immediate war with Eng
land, the Niagara would be known as the scourse Of
the ocean, Ii she has the strength and speed claimed
by her constructor she might rove old ocean for one
year at least, its sole monarch, Or until her equal
in all respects might dispute decide her sovereignty
