AMERICAN INVENTIONS IN AUsTRIA.--0f the Euro-
pcan nations who have paid particular attention u
the progress Of the American people in arts sciences
and manufactures, we must certainly place the Ans
TRANS amongst the first and foremost Since 1sll
we find the American railway car almost exclusivdg
on Austrian railways The outside connection %
locomotives has been extensively adopted In thsa
country, long before the prejudces in favor of the
inside cylinders were removed. In 1853 the irA
river steamboat for the Old World on America
principles was constructed for the Danube. Sinos
that two immense boats, Of fifty feet beam anl
cightytwo feet outside Of paddle wheels, have beea
built for that river, on the model Of our amentel
Steers, and engines furnished from New York.
Morse's electric telegraph has from the very start
monopolized the Austrian telegraph wires and there
Is scarcely large farm in that extensive empire o.
large mandatory that cannot show some evidence
of American ingenuity. At this moment balance
dry dock Of the largest description on the Americas
principle, is constructing at Venice. The timber for
that dock is furnished entirely from this country
and almost all the mills on the North river which
have been standing still for months are now busily
employed in the saving and shipping OF that timber.
The main part Of the machinery for that dock Is als>
being constructed in New York There seems To Be
hardly an American invention of importance thak

Of surprise and qualification 10 the American travel
appreciated in country which has been almost
stranger TO us, and Of which, general thing. We
have 10 imperfect knowledge.

The Kansas Dimculty-A Simple Plan for q
Qubeh and Decisive Settlement.

The Senate has passed bill for the admis.
sion OF Kansas under the Lecompton constitu.
ton, as sovereign State, without further de.
lay The House has rejected this bill, and
passed substitute, with "the condition prece-
dent" that the said constitution shall be sub.
mitted, yea and nay TO the popular vote, and
providing that II thus ratified Kansas shall be
declared by the President sovereign State I'M
der the said constitution; but, providing fur
Their, that If said constitution be rejected the
people shall frame new one, and that with its
popular ratification the President shall pro-
claim the State admitted under this new consti-
tuition. This substitute bill has been rejected by
the Senate, and II has voted TO adhere to It's
own bill. The House, probably to-day or to.
morrow, will vote 10 adhere to their BILL and
then. should the Senate refuse 10 recede, the
question will be as far from settlement by
Congress as on the first Monday Of last Decem-

AMERICAN SHIPBt1IDING FOR FOREIGN CoUN-
TRIEs.-The accounts which We publish today
of the trial trips of the steam corvette japanese
built by Mr.. VIM. II. Webb OF this city, and the
Msnjoor built at Boston, for the service Of the
Russian government on the Amoor river, with
the recent trial trip Of the voyageur del Mer,
built at Boston, for the Pacha of Egypt, are
indications Of the favor with which American
shipbuilding IL regarded by foreign govern
ments Mr.. Webb has had three contracts for
the Russian government The America was
built by him and sent out in 1865, the Japa-
nese Is the second, and he has now on the
stocks large steam frigate which is to be the
flag ship Of the Russian navy. The first ship
built in America for the Russian government
was by Vim. II. Brown, about fifteen or eighteen
years ago, and since that time we have built
ships for nearly every government except Eng
land and France. Indirectly we have built for
them, as they have been Obliged to pilfer parts
America TO be able to keep up decent rival
ry. Since the triumph of the America, and the
beating of the Agamemnon, the fastest ship Of
the English navy, by the Niagara, American
models have an acknowledged superiority
which must ensure them an eventual preva-
lence throughout the world. II is no wonder
then that the Sultan OF Turkey has sent here
for Gag chip worthy Of the Ottoman navy,
and Il IL TO be hoped that he will secure ship
which will satisfy him and reflect additional
credit upon the country.

THE LATE COLLINS LINE or STEAMERs.-Wc
Publish In another column an article from the
London Morning Chronicle on the failure Of the
Collins line OF steemers-the three fine ships be-
longing to which were sold by the Sheriff on
Thursday last John Bull takes occasion TO
giorify himself On his superiority over bis Yam
kee cousins, as Bull 80 well knows how to do !;
because, owing to the twofold cause of the
illiberalily Of our government and internal
difficulties in the company ITSELF the Collins
line had ceased running. This fact is claimed
by the Chronicle as conclusive proof of Eng
lands supremacy on the sea, and the infcriority
of American ships and machinery 10 those Of
British manufacture. The Collins steamers,
though sold under execution, II is understood
have been bought In for the Browns, In connec-
ton with Mr.. wetmore, another member of the
old firm, and Mr.. Corcoran, the banker, of
Washington; and they will soon be on the
ocean again.
Mr.. Collins connection with the line has pro-
badly ceased, in consequence of difficulties in
the company, arising from little jeslousies and
envies Of the fciat which he obtained from the
excellence Of many of his improvements and sug-
eestions and II can be said for him that he man
aged Il skilfully and well, and had he not been
tempered and thwarted by others, IL would have
been conducted with more prudence and skill,
and would, probably, be In existence today.
Under the new rtpme, however, the line Is

and the conservative people Of the North will
hold them hereafter to that agreement
The great vital principle to the South in
volved in the Lecompton constitution being
thus fully conceded In the Crittenden bill, and
the destiny of Kansas being already perma-
nently fixed In any event, is there any plausible
ground remaining for this disagreement be-
tween the two houses? None whatever. False
issues and false pretcnces, false pride and fc-
titious bubbles amounting to nothing are oil
that remain Of this exhausted dispute There
still remain, however, the desire and the pur-
pose of the antislavcry disorganizers to keep
this agitation open as long as possible for cleo
tionocring objects Of ali things they would re-
joice at the absolute failure OF all attempts TO
secure the admission Of Kansas at this session.
This desideratum, too, they will most likely
achieve should the Senate refuse to permit the
passage Of the Crittenden bill But let that
bill be passed, aad we shall presently see
that Mr.. Giddings and his anti slavery
confederates, In votin G for the Lecompton alb.
straction of slavery, have abandoned their last
plank Of sectional excitement, sectional discord
and sectional organization Of parties.
In business point Of view, II Is all impor-
tant TO have this Kansas stumbling block out Of
the way. We are in the fifth month of the ses-
sion. The treasury is embarrassed with debts
and obligations which must be met; its ex-
penses are heavy its receipts are comparatively
light; the Mormons and the frontier Indians
must be attended to; our relations with Spain,
