Fulton and Cancellor Livingston.
'Jlie following interesting incident, which oc-curred
in the early history of contemplated steam
navigation, has been communicated to us by an
old Knickerbocker, whose memory of past events
is freeh in his recollection. It bringa to mind
tha names of two great men : one a geoiua to
whom the world is deeply indebted, and Ihe oth-er
a name whieh New Yorkers, at least, will
ever remember with pride. They are the names
of Robert l'ulton and Chancellor Livingston.
After Fulton was fully conviccd that a alaam
engine coold be constructed so as to propel a
boat, and Sliding that he had no means to enable
him to prove the fad lo the world, and not being
able to ,ali,fy any American capitalisu, of tha
