Some inventive genius processes to
have discovered new method of pro
ipelling side-wheeI steamboats,, by which
walking beams, shafts, cranks, and other
eumbrous and expensive machinery Of a
side-wheef steamer are dispensed with.
The paddle wheels are driven by two
high pressure engines, such are common
,ly used to prop9l locomotives, placed
close beside the wheels, and the power
is communicated directly to the periph
cry of the wheels. This invention, if
successful, may regain for the sidewheel
the position in comparison with the stern
screw which it has notably lost. But
few side wheel boats are pow left on the
line of the lakes, compared with the
number that once thumped their way
along and N the ocean the screw, with
it's advantage Of diminished space Of ma
ch nery and greater seaworthiness of the
vessel, is fast supplantihg the paddle
wheel.

LONDON, December 21.-Messrs. Glad
stone, Bright and Lowe have been re.
elected to Parliament. Gladstone, in a
speech Lat The, hustings in Greenwich,
said ne was Not yet wholly in favor OF
the ballot, but if free voting was i'm pos
sible without such safeguard, then
he was for the ballot. Bright also made
speech before his reelection, at Bing,
ham, in which he explained that he had
declined his first appointment as Secre-
tary Tor India because the labor of that
office was too severe for him in the pres
ent state of his health, and also because
he thought the views of the country, in
regard to the Indian policy, were not
sufficiently advanced. He argued that
the late Parliamentary elections offered
fresh evidence in favor of the adoption
of the ballot. He denounced the pro-
fligacy of the Tory party, and closed
with promising, on the part Oh the
Cabinet, economical reforms IN the ad-
ministrat;on of the Government.
All members of Parliament appointed
to positions in the Government have
been reelected except Mr.. Cardwell,
whose election will take place to-mor-
row. Name of the elections were con-
tested. 1t is generally believed that
the ministerial change in France is due

press.
