SOMETHING New IN NAvIGATIoN.-There is on ey
hibition at Brewsters & Poter's ship yard on Boston
street, Canton, model u feet in diameter Of
revolving vessel, the invention of Mr.. George T
snyder OF Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. Mr.
Snyder Is now getting up stock company in this city
for the construction Of vessel Of suitable size to be
propelad by steam, Of which Mr.. John S. SeIby, No
Second street, is treasurer The great novelty en-
hraced in The construction of this vessel consists in
/! very simple application Of locomotive power By
which the vessel is made to roll the waternste
Of running through it, and so completely arranged
that passengers and freight remain stationary while
the hull of the vessel is rapidly revolving therefore
can never get aground being adapted from her fol!a
to either land or water. Engineers machinists ana
shpwrights-many of whom have carefully exam
inei the principle-universalIy concur in alo,.-
ing to this vessel vast superiority in powerand speed
While It's practical application TO navigation, in d.
minor points is fully conceded. 1t is claimed that
she viii eclipse any vessel now aHoat: and il is hoped
our citizens WILL at early day be regaled with an
excursion upon her, to some point down the bay, and
be thereby afforded an opportunity to test her many
superior qualities. II will no doubt be seen a. Op,c
agent as tits claimed she easily make from so
miles m hour and if necessary. the speed can be in
creased 10 100 miles per hour With this advantage
offered, express companies viii doubt sec the pro-
priey of investing in the stock which will be put IL
the market in the course Of a few days.

safety OF all vessels passing up and down the bav
Inc position OF the wreck is north by west % miles
hom Smiths Point lght-ship. Some four or iy.
steamboats, have already collided with this wrec.,
ana one OF them was seriously damaged. The May,r
says that 1t is the duty Of the General Government
to remove the wreck. bat suggests that the damace
which may occur consequent upon the delay which
generally attends these matters, would make it prt-
dent to have the difficulty removed at once and max
a claim upon the General Government aGsecward ,rt
the expense.
