STEAM BOAT. Yesterday the citizens were gratified with the powers of Steam in this vessel. She left this at 11 o'clock, went five leagues down, and returned at 4 o'clock. A number of gentlemen were on board; the day was fine; and general satisfaction was given. Had Mr. Fulton's Torpedoes succeeded equal to his Steam Boats, we might now laugh at the thunder of the British Navy.
