ing medium is that currency. It is the property, skill, honour, and industry of a great people, all called forth and put in activity, and which has more value and more stability than either gold or silver, and which will always command and control these precious me

tals.

As the trade and navigation of this country are intimately connected, so any improvement in the latter is of the utmost importance to the former. On this account, we announce, with satisfaction and confidence, an invention which we believe will prove one of the most important ever brought to light for navigation. This is a new mode of impelling. vessels by steam, and which is equally applicable to vessels of every size and every description. A patent has, we understand, been obtained for it, and the discovery will soon be submitted to the world. We have seen the principle; and its extreme simplicity, we are satisfied, must ensure success. It will embrace the three great objects-despatch, certainty, and security; and last, and not least, greatly lessening all expenses connected with navigation. Impelled by it, vessels of any description may with perfect safety and security visit any country, every port, and traverse every sea. Storms cannot retard, nor contrary winds detain them; nor can the machinery sustain any injury but what may be easily repaired, and in a short period, unless the ship is dashed to pieces. As the vessel is increased in tonage, so will the proportionate impelling power act with greater effect. It will carry vessels along a canal without the slightest injury to its banks. It will not only impel a ship with any necessary speed, but will also, at the same time, pump her to an extent scarcely credible, should extended power be necessary :-it will also ventilate her, clear her of bad air, and supply her with good; but, with a trifling expense, afford the crew fresh water and dry their clothes. A machinery of a curious construction may be attached to any vessel, so as to deepen either rivers or canals with an extraordinary facility and effect. No part of the power employed for propelling the vessel will be lost. Every particle tells, and with the greatest effect. In estimating the power, we confine ourselves within moderate bounds when we state, that a loaded merchantman of the first class, may, in fifteen days from the Clyde, reach any of the Leeward Islands, and at an expense not exceeding £20 for fuel, if so much. The principle is so safe and so powerful, that unless a ship is run ashore designedly, or from accidents such as no human foresight could avert or provide against, such fatal and destructive, and so frequent events, can no longer take place. She can be borne off in the face of any current, swell, or tempest; and, by a simple and ingenious contrivance, the vessel may be turned in a moment in any direction, at whatever speed she may be going. We have never seen an invention so simple, and which may, at the same time, be rendered of such extensive utility. And unless fluids become solids,

steam ice-unless

"The scales are false and algebra lie,"

the principle must succeed, and to an extent, we believe, beyond the most sanguine hopes of the discoverer of it. The machinery may also be worked by wind or animal strength.
