on the Bluff, q Printers Observatory, to be
got up on the plan Of the Greenwich Oh

BENT SHIP KXEEs.-SOme time ago, we took
occasion to notice the new bark. Jane Da9Gett,
belonging to Messrs. Dunham and Dimon, which
had been built with knees Of bent timber, from
the Timber Bending Company at Green Point,
and which was then about TO depart for Europe.
The trial Of the knees was regarded with much
interest, by underwriters and others. This ves-
sci has lately returned from voyage to Glasgow,
taking out a heavy cargo of grain and returning
with pig-iron. The knees have thus been sub
ected 10 a severe test and with the most satisfac-
tory results-as upon the closest examination not
the least shrinkage or displacement can be discov-
cred.
At Glasgow, the Jane Daggett was visited by a
number of eminent ship builders and owners,
who were unqualified in their praise of the ship
and her peculiar construction. She was also Wis
tied by deputation from London, to inspect the
knees who expressed the same favorable opinion
with regard to them, and the belief that they
must ultimately supercede natural knees. The
latter are already so scarce, that to repair an
American vessel in Liverpool, it was necessary to
send to the United States for knees, as none suit
able were to be h1d.-JOHrnaI of Commsrss.
