The Italian-owned ship MacDiarmid, now at Newcastle, is the firßt vessel fitted with Captain Vassalo's patent sails to visit that port. The invention simply consists in the piercing of the sails with a number of holes. By this means the air, after having done its work and expended its foice upon the canvas, is allowed to escape, and leave room for fresh currents. The trip from Capetown to Newcastle was accomplished in 36 days, a much shorter time than was occupied by any of the other vessels making the voyage at the same time.
