A very interesting experiment has 
been made of steam-vessels on canals, 
in the Union Canal at Edinburgh, 
with a large boat, twenty-eight feet 
long, constructed with an internal 
movement. The boat had twenty-six 
persons on board; and, although draw- 
ing fifteen inches of water, she was 
propelled by only four men at the rate 
of between four and five miles an 
hour, while the agitation of the water 
was confined entirely to the centre of 
the canal. 
According to the late statistical 
returns, the inhabited houses of Eng-

Dublin is said to be 24,000; of these 
only about 16,000 pay local taxes, and 
full 4,000 are to be let every day in 
the year.
