vutical NOVELTY.-Durins several days of this week 
a smaS sc^oner has hcon cruising about the port under a 
liHSiS by its strange appearance, has elicited remark. 
The 'hnpe of the fore- top sail, a delta, give* a 
T «'io P both rig ami vessel. The owner Mr. I. 
T Dodgo, of l'o'voy, has lilted her out for the pur- 
‘ „ «f nr acti colly testing an invention, which 
which he con- 
nose of practically . ' ' 
* s to be an improvenicnt on the present method ofnt,- 
,,j„.r of vessels, measuring from 30 to 100 tons ; but the 
1 MU i* to be considered rather as a model, showing what 
f I . A 1 ... — ^ IflP 
coives 
the inventor purposes for larger craft, than one suited for 
the experimental schooner herself. We are informed that 
she has been inspected by competent naval authorities uom 
■ here and at Falmouth, and that they concur to a great ex- 
tent in awarding to the new rig all the merits claimed for it 
bv the inventor, among which are— oconomy in the outn , 
fewer hands required for working, sails light aloft and so 
arranged as to prevent chafing, soils easily set and with 
very lit i lo gear, no eat ings or rovings required, and reenng 
effected without shivering or impeding the ship s progress. 
All the work confined to the deck, so that the inconvenience 
and risk of going aloft is avoided. Those are qualities 
which our naval friends will hotter appreciate than ourselves 
we shall, therefore, only remark that during the present 
scarcity of sailors in tho royal and mercantile marine <>l 
this country, and in fact at any time, an invention which 
proposes to work a vessel efficiently with fewer hands than 
arc required at present, deserves the investigation o» all 
Interested in our nauticul wel fare . — Plymouth Herald. 
THE Bsmek jki.t.A. — " II. M.s. , Baltic, May 10, 
1854. May 5,— Wc have been waiting here (Gottbke bundo) 
for several days to go to sea, but it has been so very foggy 
we could not get out. This morning however, the weather 
cleared off, ami gave us the chance of leaving, so at hall-past 
one wo lighted our fires. At two the Leopard arrived, toho 
brings word that tho Russians arc increasing their fortifica- 
tions at Uuneo Point. Tho admiral, accompanied by Com- 
mander Proetly and Lieutenant Pearce, paid a visit to the 
Frenchman (Austcrlitz), which arrived here on the 1st. lie 
was received most cordially ; and on leaving, the Frenchman 
manned yards and gave him throe cheers, tlioir hand playing 
‘ God save the Queen.’ At four o’clock we all weighed and 
proceeded to sea with Gottsko Sando for rendezvous. 1 lie 
beautiful little yacht Esmeralda, belonging to Mr. Ctunniiug, 
which joined ns two days since, got under way tho same time 
as we did. There was soma doubt expressed as to whether 
she would he able to keep up with us, but, to the astonish- 
ment of a good many, the graceful little craft passed us easily. 
Bv eight, o’clock the admiral’s ship had run away from the 
whole fleet, the Lightning only keeping her company. 
Gib.— A heavy swell set in this morning from S.W., indicat- 
0th.— A heavy .. 
ing wind from that quarter, which soon after followed ami 
blew a little gale. Wo had been steering east by south, 
when it lulled we turned our heads about, and in tho after- 
noon were close to Gotbke Sando. Wo found the Esmeralda 
hud very wisely hove to in the lee of the island to escape the 
short Baltic Sea. I am sorry to say the Euryalus lost a man 
while reefing topsails during the gale, befell from the topsail 
yard-urm and was drowned. About two o’clock tho Odin 
came from Copen liugenj; she brought five largo hugs of 
Liters from the Itosamo’nd, which ship sho left behind to 
follow.”
