A CIRcus ENTERPRISE. -Howes & Cusa-

performing under tent in Ireland, travel
ing through the country, and compelled, for
the want of tavern accommodations, to en-
camp at every place where they show. A
letter dated at Clonmel, August 22, from
'vne of the proprieters, says
We have applied to the owners Of the
steamship Great Eastern to take us and one
hundred horses to America on her first trip;
and it is our intention to put temporary
ring on the upper deck, and give equestrian
performances to the passengers in fair weas
ther. The track Of the ring will be made
of India rubber mating, the same as is rced
in the London theatres when circus perfor-
mances are given on the stage; and the GYM
hastic tackle, the tight and slack rope fix
ing, and the trapez apparatus, are to be at
tached to the rigging Of the ship.
As the Great Eastern is likely to bring
out some eight OF Ten thousand passengers
on her hfst trip, The sirohb will stand a
bhance Of drawing good s'hoaser'' on board

sTEAMING ON ICE.

We have already printed some accounts from
Western journals of the proposed Winter Steam.
boat of Mr.. Norman Wizard, now in progress Of
construction at Prairie du Chen on the upper
Mississippi; but the importance Of the enterprise
and the vsst consequences which must flow from
its success, seem to demand more emphatic notice.
The general plan of the boat is set forth by the
inventor as follows:
"Tbe boat which first propose to build viii be
twelve feet in width by seventy in length, and, when
resting upon the water would dspece about foot
in depth. II viii be propelled by pair of locomotive
engines actipg on single driving-whee, TO which
adhesion is given by various devices. The bottom,
ends and sides Of tie hull, for about three feet in
hight are of iron the upper part is ircosed and
flushed similar TO passenger car, and warmed by
steam pipes and viii accommodate one hundred pas.
,epeers; il il steered by pilot familiar with the river
"A steam brake is attached by which its velocity
NAV be perfectly controlled; the boat lie supported
skates OF runners, 80 adjustable as 10 pass through
snow five feet in depth without presenting any con-
siderable resistance.
SAYS The Chicago Press;
"If it breaks through the ice encounters air
hole machinery is prepared, which, in few minutes,
puts il sgain the ice ready for onward progress.
TIE drivirg wheel IL the stern and the inventor
calculates the ordinary speed the ice az twenty 10
Sorty miles an hour and with clear, solid ice, he be-
Eeyes his vessel can easily be made 70 attain speed
of eighty miles. The cabin is twelve by forty feet,
and the cep.cy of the boat is rated at one hundred
ua.seneers and I've tuns of freight The entire boat
when loaded with passengers and cargo is calculated
to weigh thiry-tvo tuns.'
The Prairie dH Chien Leader Of the 18th inst.
says that Mr.. Wizard has now forty mechanics at
work on his model boat, which he expects to have
completed early in March, while the Mississippi
above that point il now covered by at least two
feet Of .oEd ice, which rarely breaks up til April
spd sometimes not till nearly or quite tho Let Of

It is proposed in the Bosrd Of Aldermen to in
quiIe into the propriety Of cutting down salaries
generally in the executive departments There is
little probability of anything being done. II is very
easy TO raise a sslsry fifty per cent-much easier
than to cut il down FIVE. II is not so much the
individual smount but the number of salaries that
needs reforming. Were the same business now
paid for from the Treasury done BY private citi-
zens, not more than two-thirds of the force would
be required or employed. Let the Common Coun-
ell begin BY abolishing sinecures; and when the
lazy insumberts get done 'quirming, it will be
esrly enough to look after those who really work.
