40,000/. about 30,000/.is distributed among the London offices, the underwriters at Lloyds havingfortunately escaped with very trifling damage. Glasgow, it is said, will suffer to the extent of about 10,000/. We are gratified to learn that the funds and prospects of the Society of Arts have latterly greatly improved. At a specialmeeting, held during the present month (April), it was resolved that the grantsof gold and silver medals should be resumed, and that honorary testimonials should be ocsasionally given. A French journal gives an account of a new steam-boat, used for the navigation of the Rhone. In addition to the commonpaddle-wheels, there is a large cast-iron wheel, passing through the centre of thevessel, with spokes projecting from its periphery. This wheel rises aud falls,to accommodate itself to the unevenness at the bottom, on which it alwayspresses, and by its revolution it forces the vessel on. The object is to overcomethe strength of the current with a moderate power.
