The old Constirnlion nIiaaing.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The practice ship
Constitution left League Island April 10th
under orders from the Navy Department to
proceed to the Potomac river. There have
been some fears for her safety expressed,
but no apprehension is felt at the depart
ment other than that naturally incident to
the fact of her being several days
overdue. 1t is thought quite probable
at the department that owing to prevailing
westerly winds and rough weather she may
have been blown off the Capes, in which
event several days or even weeks may
elapse before she arrives, without necessa-
rilY causing any alarm as to her ultimate
safety.
LATER.-The Navy Department received
news this afternoon of the arrival of the
practice ship Constitution at Piney Point.
She had experienced very heavy weather,
and suffered some injury.

end is the gear for directing the motion
of the whole engine forward or back

stopping it and putting in action the
machinery for winding up the large
coil of wire rope, which coil is in the
middle of the engine. The wheels are,
of course, wide. like those of q traction
engine, SO as to be able to pass over
plowed land. One of these engines
being stationed ct each end of the field,
with q triple-shared reversible plow
between them, the electric contact is
made. the Gramme machine turns
round and winds up the wire, and SO
draws the plow-share along. When the
plow has reached the end of furrow
the engines advance q step by gearing
the Gramme machines to the proper
wheels, the plow is tilted so as to bring
three other shares into action, and the
engine at the other end of the field pulls
it in the reverse way.-Cor. London
