Marine News.--We paid a visit a few days since, to the ship-yard of Messrs. Bidwell & Banta, for the purpose of noting the progress made on the different craft in course of construction. They have over three hundred men employed, and are pushing forward their work very rapidly.
The propeller BUFFALO, which is to be the largest vessel of any kind, on any of our inland waters, is to be ready to launch by the 10th of April, with her machinery all in and ready to get up steam the moment she is launched. She is beautiful model, and is by far the best piece of work ever brought out here. We advise those who would like to see a perfect specimen of shipbuilding, to pay a visit to their yard. Her machinery is from the foundry of S. Shepard, and is very powerful, she is owned by Messrs. L.H. Pratt and Geo. B. Walbridge and is to be under the command of Capt. Goldsmith.
