A rAsr BoAT.-A correspondent of the New
York Evening Post gives the following first intima-
ton 81 new plan to propel boat with great
rapidly:
The irst Of July, ls49, l thought of plan to pro-
pei boat with great Iapdity she being partly sus
-airtight. The paddles to be on the outside of the
rpn, and fastened TO the arms which lead from the
shalt and to have from two or three to six wheels
side, to be driven BY steam. had been thinking
Of this plan from time 70 time until few days since
gentleman residing in this place, by the name Of
Nathan Oakes, mentioned to me the same idea I
observed i was q singular coincidence, having q
memoranda Of it. Mr.. Cakes proposed at once that
W should obtain patent together. The wheels as
well g the boat are the sustaining power His opinion
Is that with wheels forty feet in diameter she can be
driven from New York to Albany in one hundred and
eighty minutes. When the wheel boat y IL MOTION
she rises on the surfacsof the water, leaving keel
enough to steer by. With twelve wheels it would
require the boat to be about fifty or sixty feet IN
width, by three hundred in length. The size and
number Of the wheels would govern the length and
breadth Of the wheel vessel You may ley the public
know Of this plan il you think proper.
Yours, very truly, wM s. MOUNT.

According to the best authorities, the Hindot
population do not approve Of the atrocities COM
mittcd by the Sepoys, and have not denied shelter
and protection TO the fugitives who have escaped
from the scenes of horror enacted at Delhi anc
Cawnpore. Col, Sykes, who is said to be one o
the highest authorities Indian affairs, recently
read letter in the House of Commons, which he
had Just received from Col Edwardes, the hero o.
Nloultan in which the writer says:
The con.oIng feature Of this terrihc muthY
is that the sodcry have met with very little sym
patty from the people of any part OF the country
Here and there apparent unanimity oil mnuhS
and end Of all government has raised the loose
characters to plumber and license; but as a rule
the country has not stirred. This is a glorious
rcf,ly to those who would fain make out that our
rule is not good one in India; and here, at Pes,
hawer where frantic and predatory races surround
u-. and where hundreds of priests are secretly
plotting our ruin, the people have stood alott
from it all
Col Sykes added to the above, that such was the
belief of all those who write from India. and had
watched the progress Of the present catastrophe,
and that the people are far from willing to return
to the grinding and caprcious tyranny OF the Mus
amman sOVercigus.
