NEW IRON-CLAD INVENTION. Mr. Owon Collins, an enterpriring and ingenious me. @hanic, residing at 73 Mott street, has shown us the taode! of & cew iron clad vessel which he has recently tn- vented. It appears to be an ingeniously contrived piece of mechaniam, and is at least worthy the consideration of the Qaval authorities at Washingtoo. The inventor @aiine that a vessel built according to big model is capable of withstanding any artillery foree now in vogue, He eontends that four sheets of tron constructed according & tis plen have got more foros of resistance than feven theets of common plate iron, that it has twice the resist. ames 0! solid plate iron of the same thickness, and almost @emme duoyaccy as a wooden vewel, that it can be applied to either land batteries, coast or harbor defen.s, of emercantilo pursuits; and that, with a good pair of engines. sbe could ran from seventeen to eighteen knots en tour, As Mr. Colitis has not ine meane to carry out the work, he is most anxious that the authorities would takaholu of it, and with this purpose in view he will traomm|t bis model to Washingtow on Tharaday next, Net the least important feature im the invention is that @ rete!
