>n Saturday we were much gratified with the 



brmaiice of a boat 19 feet long, invented and 



r| itrticted by Mr James Wilson, of this city, 



icularly adapted to canal navigation. The 



om of the boat is so constructed that the vva- 



is turned to the centre instead of displacing 



hich makes the boat more buoyant, and doubles 



velocity. The increased action of the water 



\' 1 the wheel, which is placed near the stern, 



•ates powerfully upon the rudder, and the boat 



be steered with one at least two thirds sinall- 



M lan the rudders used for canal boats. The 



tl , from the simplicity of her works may be 



•elled by steam or otherwise, eight miles an 



Vessels, we think, constructed as the one 



I'hich we are now speaking, would be safe at 



as the wheels are com[>letely protected from 



;" effects of the swell. This model was sent up 



J Hudson yesterday, and a fair experiment is to 



eiiade on the canal between Albany and Troy.

Partridge's Blacking for Boots and Shoes. 

 This article is really what it professes to be — Ills more con- 

 venient, and less expensive than any other Blacking ; produces 



a gloss equally as brilliant as Day & Martin's— and one which 



is not so easily tarnished by water or dampness — and, (rom a 



constant uso of It for several months, I am fully satisfied thai it 



is truly beneficial lo the leather, keeping it in a soh and pliable 



condition. 

 The half pint jugs of the common liquid Blackings generillv 



contain but three glasses each. — This Powder, when mixei-l 

 ilh two or three glasses of good vinegar, or stale beer, imme- 1 

 atelv affords about one third more Blacking.— This, with Ihe EGGS, 

 fferenceol the original cost, makes no inconsiderable saving. MEAL, Rye. retail, - 

 I recommend it as a composition lor Blacking, which, upon"a Indian, retail, 



fair trial, will give complete sallsf.tclion. i POTATOS,
