Steam on Canals.

We have never been much Of believer in the
feasibility Of running steamboats, upon canals: but
the experiment has been tried in New York upon
the Erie Canal. and with some degree of success.
The following from the Courier and Enquirer, is
descriptive Of boat which has already made one
or two trips through the whole extent Of the wa
ter-lne from New York city to Buffalo,
The steam Canal boat Niagara. = boat which is
not exactly new one, having been built about
two years, took her departure for Buffalo last FRI
day, at 2 O'clock, T. ~, from Coentes Slip amid
large asseInblage VI citizens. The boat is 90 feet
in length ia in breadth. 200 tons burden. With
l4o tons Of pig iron aboard. her draft of water
was but 4 feet forward aud feet aft This is as
much "a she can carry through the Canal. as the
depth Of water will not permit any heavier load,
but she can carry 100 tons more when running on
the river. The novel features If the Niagara are
her engines, and the manner in which her pro-
peller works in connection with the rudder. Her
engines were builr on plan very recently invent
Cd by Capt. Jas. L. Cathcart The propeller is
hung in the rudder and connects with drawing
shaft on universal joint 90 that when the rudder
moves the propeller moves lsterally with it, aud
by that manner giving third greater speed with
much greater facility for steering. The engines
and propeller were built by J. s. Underhill, Of
the Dry Dock Iron Works. After steaming down
the East river with the tide, those on board waited

Whitehall N. Y, the jury and people of both
places considering it n "justitable homcide. -
The circumstances which led to the ARRAY in
which Walker was stabbed, involves long histo-
~ Of cruelty and crime his part. 1t is some
years since he took his young and beautiful wife
home to Whitehall After the loss Of their child,
Walker lott his situation as clerk in the bank
began to drink and to abuse his wife. At night
he compelled her to strip herself and march, ma
ked wherever he chose to gn, threatening her life
with drawn sword if she hesitated. He beat
her severely and she will carry the scars through
life. Yet she kept these facts concealed from her
father rs long as possible, from her faithluness
to her marriage vow, and II was only after re-
pca,ed solicitations from her relatives, and when
she desparcd OF his reformation, that she consen-
tee To 90 to her father. That was in September
last. Walker folowcdhcr aud was received into
the family. On the evening Of the 18th of Sept.
he was under the influence of liquor, lac was sit
ting near the table where his wife WINS sewing.
and cantwell was reading. Ills wife asked him
to 60 to bed. aud Caniwcll patting him the
shoulder. repeated the request. Walker in rage,
caught chair, and. with an oath, struck ut Can't
well, but he escaped the blow; they cutched,
Cantwells head being held down, while in this
position Cantwel stabbed Walker five times in
the abdomen with penkniie then Walker re-
leased his hold; he went to the kitchen and OBJ
tanned carvinS knife. and was returning toward
Cnntwcll when he fell lie survived sc hours
Cant~cll sent for physicians, and then gave him
self up to the authorities.
