The powerful concentration of artificial light to guide the mariner on his way, arrested the attention in one of the most conspicuous positions of the building. Then we had models of vessels, furnished by the great public bodies, and private individuals, and the simple, yet beautiful symmetry of primitive canoes, might be contrasted with the very latest improvements in the boat-building art. Neither was there any paucity of invention for saving life from fire or flood, or models of craft declared capable of carrying to the very jaws of death (with exemption from its terrors,) those gallent men, who so often peril their own existence to save their fellow creatures from destruction. Such was the emulation elicited; and rival nations found a neutral ground upon which to place the trophies of their industry, and to display that versatility of talent which is the soul of commerce, and the gift of peace!
