FOUR HOURS FROM TROY TO NEW YORK.-We learn that Mr. J. Gold,
of Troy, has nearly completed a boat, which he expects to make the trip to New York in
four hours, by means of an improvement on the propelling principle. We should hope he
may succeed; but from the little knowledge we have of his plans, we are inclined to allow
him at least six additional hours in which to accomplish the trip. We yet hold firm the
opinion that no plan but that of the "Burden's boat," so called, can ever be driven with the
velocity anticipated by Mr. Gold. We may say more on this subject anon.
