SOMETHING NEW IN OCEAN VESSELS.— TWENTY-THREE MILES AN HOUR AND NO SEA-SICKNESS. (Prom the New CU'J:} Yachtsmen and tourists who visit' the Islo of Wight anti Southampton have often been puzzled by a strange craft thatoruisesln those wat ‘is, and which invariably slows down to ordinary speed when approached by other vessels. ■ She seldom appears to have anything more serious on hand than, a party of gay pleasure-seekers ; but watermen and others who have watched her closely tell of bursts of speed in which she flies through the water like an express train. She is the vessel with which all the later experiments have been conducted, and the results to which those experiments have led are as follows :—One splnd eshapod steamer, Goßft. longer than the Great Eastern, or 1200 ft. in length, is already designed and to be built. It will have engines of 100.000 horse power, and will be propelled by twin screws under the after quarter of the vessel. The main speed of this vessel is expected to bo over 20 nautical or 23 statute miles an hour. She is to have a tower 150 ft. high,'containing in part state-rooms looking out on circular balconies, but having within a hollow cylinder extending vertically throughout its entire length, and traversed by an immense weight susceptible of being adjusted at any desired height. This is an invention of Mr. William L- AVlnans, and the effect: that it produces upon the motion of the vessel is precisely the reverse of that which one would most readily infer. When “scaled” to a proper height, in proportion to'the “beat" or motion of the waves prevaiiing.it absolutely prevents all rolling. The great length of, this steamer will prevent pitching, so that, presuming it justifies the claims and expectations of the inventors, it should bo very advantageous for purposes of ocean travel. It is designed for the trans-Atlantic mail and passenger service, and their pert, of entry in this countrywillbo Now London, Ct, of .which a special survey was made three years since with this view. Mdford Haven is expected to bo the port of entry for Great Britain, i Tha'. it .will revolutionise ocean -travel;is the conviction, of [Messrs. Winans, and on that conviction they have expended millions, and; are about to expend still 1 moib; it being their intention.to construct three other. Similar vessels as neon asthai described shall have [bean , successfully- operated. The estimated cost of. construction of these, vessels is £1,000,000 each, and it is Confidently believed by the Messrs. Winans and many of tbplg- friends that they will accomplish the passage of thp. Atlantic in less than C days at all seasons and in spite of any ' weather which has been known as yet on that ocean.
