TRIAL TRIP CT TEE Mag ARA.-On the Gath ult
the stssn,ship Niagara returned from her trial trip
after an absence Of two days, and Immediately pro-
led to Europe. The following account is given of
Ter performance
The trial trip was most successful one. The per-
formances Of the ship and her engines met the entire
approval Of the engineer nchie and Of all the officers
on board. The engines were not slowed or stopped
during the trip, but worked regularly and smoothly
with pressure Of steam ranging from Ill to 1876
pounds, and with from 20 to AZ revolutions per min
ute. The combustion of the engines is entirely ex
pended in the generation Of steam No smoke flame
issues from her smoke pipes, which throughout the
trip were perfectly cool From careful examination of
indicating diagrams the evaporation is found TO be
81 pounds of water to one pound of coal Her sailing
qualities also equally satisfactory She perfectly
easy in a seaway, and glides smoothly through the
water, leaving a clean wake behind her. Her speed
ranged from to ii knots, but with full speed of
steam and fair wind she is expected to make II or
l8 knots. In addition to her officers and crew, the
following gentlemen on board during the trip
Professor Samuel f. B. Morse Mr. james Murphy, the
builder of the engines and boiler Mr.. Martin, Eng
neerin- Chief of the United States Navy; Captain
Echwarz and Lieutenant Kolobnn two officers Of the
Russian Navy, who have been granted permission by
the Navy Department to witness tue laying OF the

New RIG FOR SAILING YEssELs.--Ca Captain Cole,
of New York, has invented a new rigging for ships
whichis highly spoken of by ship masters and Others
!. The plan Of Captain Cole, as stated by the Com
mercial Advertiser, effectually provides for the
quick and certain reduction of all the square sails of
a vessel without sending single man aloft." This
result he accompanies by winding the sails up
smoothly on rollers by means of vince on the deck.
The plan, says the Advertiser, appears to be very
simple efeacious and economical nor is it likely to
be easily put out Of order or broken AS it dispenses
with large amount of cordage, blocks and tackle
generally, it seems likely to save considerable ex
pense.
CoTres IN ALGERIA.-A recent number of the off.
cia organ of the French Government, publishes the
report Of the jury charged to award the prize Of 20
0OOE, given by the Emperor annually, for period of
five years from 1853, as an encouragement for the
cultivation of cotton in Algeria
- Already says the report, the planters in Algeria
have obtained two important points towards compe-
tition with the United States-quaiity and equal
YIELD according to the quantity Of ground planted
There remains third to be attained and that is tile
extent of production, which can only be accomplished
when the number of hands employed can be suifi-
GENTLY increased.
The report suggests that the Government would do
well TO give special encouragement for works tending
to facilitate irrigation.

Circuit Court.

The Marshall Circuit Cour .,nad
last Friday afternoon. There - ~onsio-
cradle interest manifested, as there were
several important cases TO be tried. The
case of Gips. notice of whose sentence
We published las. week, was generally con-
sidsrad to be the most important Of the
criminal cases. but his sentence would in
dictate that his crime was small affair."
We have heard a general expression of dis
satisfaction in regard 10 the sentence of the
court; and although We submit to the bur-
then with fall knowledge of its injustice,
yet we hno,0 that our taxes are high enough
without supporting criminals after final
trial, when we have paid our proportion OF
the expense Of furnishing a place where
they may be kept without being burthen
% anybody. Caughlin was sentenced to
the penitentiary for two years, (which is
generally considered a just SENTENCED fol
stealing watch worth S75; if Gipe had
received a sentence in proportion to the
amount of money taken he would have beer
sent for a fraction over one Hundred and ON
gears, We suppose that he will board GU
his fine Of 800 at 50 cents per day, which
will make about nineteen months that the
county will have to support him. If we un
derstand the subject, (Which we think w
do" the citizens of the county are to sup

We understand that there Is about to be
petition circulated praying the 'powers tina

liens, and that we may be relieved from
the pending punishment.

Marshall County Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1855-1859, 1857-08-20

In our issue of the 9Th inst, we stated
that we were inclined to the opinion that
this Road would not be built from this
place to Peru, unless the present stock
holders would consent to give up all they
had subscribed, DC, and that the present
company would be disbanded, and a new
one formed, which would probably build
it.
The Peru Republican understands, from
our remarks. that we are in favor of thai
course being adopted. If our language
justices that confusion, it was not inten.
tional on orr part, for we certainly think il
would be doing the stockholders great in
justice for a new company to step in and
take the last dollar of the Assets for build
ing the Road and apply it to their own ben
fit. We know several old men in this coun-
", that have gave the last foot Of land they
had ON Earth, to assist in building The
Road, believing from the representations OF
its Agents, that it would be good invest
ment; but their hopes are likely to be blast
ed. We should exceedingly regret to see
the stockholders euchred out of the las
farthing, but if the road is ever built, we
predict that such will be The case.
