STEAM-BOATS ON THE RHINE. 



Coblentz, Sept. 17. — The first experiment in steam naviga- 

 tion has been made on this part of the Rhine, and apparently 

 with success. A steam-vessel belonging to the Netherland 

 Steam-Boat Company, who had previously established steam- 

 boats from Rotterdam to Cologne, left the latter place on Sun- 

 day, and proceeded to Coblentz, where the king of Prussia 

 was reviewing the troops of the Grand Duchy of the Lower 

 Rhine. On Wednesday his majesty went on board the steam- 

 boat at half-past eight in the morning, and proceeded down 

 the Rhine in the first vessel of this kind that had descended 

 this part of the river. The steam-boat went at a good rate, 

 and was hailed by the shouts of the people of the numei'ous 

 villages. It returned hei'e yesterday about ten o'clock, and 

 proceeded towai'ds Mentz, whence it will ascend to Frankfort.
