TIE WINANs STEAMER TO VIsIr NORFOLK.
The improvements upon the original de-
sign of the Winans' steamer have been com
pleted, and We learn that it is the intention
of her builders, Messrs. Ross 4 Thomas WI
mans, to make the long contemplated trip
outside of her native waters. Norfolk will
be the FIRST destination of the vessel, and she
will probably start for this port to-day or
tomorrow. The visit OF the vessel to New
York and other ports will be governed by
circumstances. 1t has been suggested to her
builders and owners to take tie nondeseript
vessel to Portland, Ne, on the arrival Oh the
Great Eastern there. That port would, in
the event of such determination, be the re
ceptacle of two of the greatest wonders OF
the marine world. .4,
The original length of the Winans' steam
er was Is5 feet, but it being demonstrated py
frequent trials that great length insured
an increase OF speed, several additions have
been made, and the length of the vessel now
is 295 from point to point. The vessel is now
coaling preparatory to her voyage, with 2oo
tons of the best Cumberland Coal.

Mons. BLoSDIN AND HIS PASSAGE OF NIAGARA
This adventurous individual has at last got his ca
BILE stretched across the Niagara river from bank o
bank, about eleven hundred feet at an elevation Of
one hundred and fifty feet above the water Yes
terday several men were employedin guying il, and
In the course of the operation Mons. Bondin walked
out to the middle, and seating himself cross legged
on the cable, drank bottle of ginger pop to the
uccess of his enterprise. People at the Falls have
become perfectly satisfied of the mans ability to
perform the feat of walking across with perfect
safety, and if all the stories that told true,
he has already performed exploits as wonderful as
that will be. The Niagara Falls Gazette says that
on Thursday forenoon, while the large cable was
being drawn across by means of the small rope, IL
began to be thought that the strain on the IatteI
was too great, and fears were entertained tnat III
would part. The end of the cable was at TINS imG %
within two hundred feet of the CANADA oahk. nau
the rome broken all the previous aoor III gettlhg
the first one across would have been thrown away
IN ,b;s diIemma Mons Blondin attached cord to
II; HI, and went out on the small rope the dis
tanca sboye named, and after attaching another
one TO the cable descended on slack rope to the
ton Of a tree which grows from near the waters
edge. All this was done with the agility OF squir-
| rel and in no apparent fear The cable was then
landed and made secure.
II is announced that the first crossing on the
BILE will take place on Thursday of next week, the
3Oth instant, and we understand it to be Mons.
