Established for the Permanent Cure of all private and chronic diseases and the suppression of quackery. R. L. J. CZAPKAY, late in the Hungarian Revo. lutionary War, Chief Physician to the 20th Regiment of Honveds, Chief Surgeon to the military hospital at Pesth, Hungary, and late lecturer on diseases . ofthe urinary organs and diseases of women and children, has opened his Institute for the cure of all forms ef private diseases, such as syphilis, gonor. rheea, nocturnal emissions, and all the consequences of self abuse. In the first stages of syphilitic or gonorhceal diseases, he guarantees a cure ina few days, without inconvenience to the patient or hindrance to his business. When a patient, by neglect or improper treatment, has developed the syiaptoms of se -ondary syphilis, such as buboes, or painful sw ellings of the groins, or ulcers in the throat or nose, which if not checked, destroy the soft parts aul cause the bones to mortify, separate and come ave) ing the sufferer hideous to behold jor when splotches ant pimples break out upon the skin, or when he has . painful swellings’apon the bones, or when his consti. tation is injured so as te predispose fe consumption . or constitutional disease, the Doctor guarantees a cure or asks no compensation. In rheumatism, chronic or acute, in dysentery or . diarrheea, he has safe and effectualremedies. For the treatment of the consequences of self-abuse such as nocturnal emissions, nervousness, timidity, headache, pains in the back and limbs, with general weakness, loss of appetite, loss of memory, injury to the sight, restlessness, confusion of ideas, dislike for society, and a feeling of weariness of life, with the nervous system so excitable that slight noises shock or startle the patient, making his existence miserable. For the above maladies the Doctor will guarantee a cure or ask no compensation. He can be consulted free of charge, and invites all to call, as it will cost them . nothing, and may be much to their adyanisge. } A Tribute to Werited Werth, ] HE INGRATITUDE of man to his fellow man is so often met in life, that testimonials, proinpted by the finer feelings of the heart, are oasis in the life of those who sacrifiae their best days in philanthropic devotion to the alleviation of the ills o rtali ty. Empiricism floods the columus of o1 ess with . fraudulent and fictitious letters, singing ns'to the worth of their egotistical charlatanism. Ltlow we append a letter from a worthy man, who, a brief period since, seemed destined to ‘shuitile off this mortal eoil,’’ who looked forward to his dissolution with that pleasure which only those weighed down with the heavy hand of disease can. Contrary to hope, the ability of a skillful physician has restored him to his former health. Relieved from his terrible situation, and impelled by gratitude, he makes known his case andfremedial agent, and his statement is authenticated by a notary public. The demands of society imperiously command its publicity, and it is given more to warn the unwary than to sound the praises of a physician of whom scores of like cases can be cited: Certificate. The undersigned, desirous of acquainting those who may be unfortunate enough to be similarly afflicted where a permanent relief of their sufferings may be obtained, feels it his duty to publicly express his sincere gratitude to Dr. L. J. Czapkay, for the permanent recovery of his health. Borne down by the distressing symptoms incident to the vicious practices of uncontrollable passions in youth, depressed in body and mind, unable to perform even the most trifng duty imposed upon the daily avocations of life, sought the advice of many physicians, who at first regarded my disease as of trifling importance, but, alas! after afew week, and in several instances months, of their treatment, Ifound to my unutterable horror, that instead of relief the sympton s became more alarming in their torture, and being finally told by one that the disease, being principally contined to the brain, medicines would be ot little consequence, I despaired of ever regaining my health, strength and energy; and as a last resert, and with but a faint hope called upon Dr. Czapkay, who, after examining my case, prescribed some medicine which almost instantly repthenitaigphcnceienimnipeaeailipmsineniainenmitmeits lieved me of the duil pain and dizziness in my head. . . scientific skill. byt that of humanity also. . two years a ; to me, was to my inability to meet the expenses consequent upon . . a thorough medical treatment, and the failures which . [met with ou attempting it, soon became such (as I . Was then led to believe) as to defy the skill of a phySubscribed an Encouraged by this result, I resolved to place myself immediately under his care, and, by a strict obedience to his directions and advice, my head became clear, my ideas collected, the constant pains in my back and groins, the weakness of my limbs, the nervous re action of my whole system on the slightest alarm or excitement, the misanthropy and evil forebodings, the self-distrust and want of confidence in others, the incapability to study and want of resolution, the frightful, the exciting, and at times the pleasurable dreams at night, followed by involuntary discharges, have all disappeared, and in fact, in two months after consulting the Doctor, I felt as if inspired by a new life, that life which, but a short time ago, I contemplated to end by my own hand. ‘ With a view to guard the unfortunate from falling into the snare of incompetent quacks, I deem it my duty te offer this testimeny to the merit and skill of Dr. Czapkay, and recommend him to all who may stand in need of medical advice, being assured by my . . own experience that, once 7 se aa care, a radical and permanent cure will be effected. : B.

A CARD.---I, the undersigned, having been under the treatmeni of L. J. Czapkay, although unsolicited, feel called upon to give publicity to the efficacy of his treatment, hoping that by doing so 1 may be instrumental in preventing others from the fearful suffering and misery which I experienced, and which so often result from the pernicious practice of pretenders. My disease has been that of physical and mental debility, which follows in consequence of the indiscretion of youth. The agonies which I endured, are, perhaps, unnecessary for me to detail; mney are known to those who have experienced them. Suflice it to say, that having called the services of Dr L. J.

Cordage Manufactery: An extensive Cordage manufactory has recently been established in San Francisco, for the manufacture of every description of cables and rope. The ropewalk is 00 feet long. The buildings are several in number, and most substantially built. The machinery isdriven by a steam engine of 60-horse power. We hail with pleasure the home mantfacture of articles of necegsary consumption, for which this State has hitherto been entirely dependent upon importations from this line has been done or attempted. There isa kind of hemp native to Oregon, used by the Indians in making nets and cords, which seems to be very fine, and would doubtless . make good ropes. If Manilla or Kentucky hemp will not grow here, the Oregon hemp or something else of the kind must be resorted to. There . is no good reason why California should not . soon export either raw or manufactured articles of this nature, or bagh. A VALUABLE Dismonp.—The Exeter [Eng.) . Gazette mentions the discovery of the immense value of a blue stone which had been for some years in the possession of Mr. Basi tow Taylor, of Totnes, and who deemed it only an ordinary pebble until a few weeks ago, when his attention was more minutely . drawn to it from the fact that a piece chipped from the principal lump was found to cut readily through a piece of glass. Upon this Mr. Taylor submitted the original piece of stone to a lapidary, who has, we are informed, pronounced this stone to bea blue diamond of the second water, and of more than £50,000 in value. Since this announcement in our last, Totnes has been visited by a great number of dealers in precious stones, /to whom Mr. Taylor courteously shows the piece which was accidentally chipped off the original, but the real ‘mountain of blue light”’ or whatever else it may turn out to be, has been forwarded to one of the most skilled lapidaries in the metropolis, who is . making a series of experiments to ascertain . its real value. . takes acoras, huils them, and then boiis them . in a weak solution of carbonate of soda for * about half an hour, then taken out and washed. This operation removes the astringent . taste from them; after which they are dried and ground up into flour. Mixed with an equal quantity of wheat flour, it is said to make a palatable and nutritious bread. . . . . x Bs ‘ Oak Acorns IN BREAD.—A French chemist . t . Heatru or §Dr. Kane.—The recent news . from Europe states that Dr. Kane had sailed from London for the West India Islands, by advice of his physicians, on account of his . health. He had been very unwelf, and it is believed that the hardships to which he was exposed in the Arctic Regions have sowed the seeds of consumption in his system. IxcREASE oF STEAMSHTPS.— Steamships have rapidly increased within the past few years. There are now no less than thirtynine steamships regularly running between America and Europe, comprising seven British and four American lines, one French and one Belgian. The aggregate tonnage of these vessels amounts to about 100,000 tons. Removina ScaLe FRoM STEAM BoILERs.— B. B. Lindsay, of London, has obtained a patent for removing scale from the interior of steam boilers by heated air, or highly heated steam. All the water in the boiler is run off, and the boiler is then left tocool. When cold, the highly heated air or steam is introduced by a pipe, when, after a suitable time being allowed for it to take effect, it is stated that the scale cracks off and leaves the plates clean. The scale is then blown out with water and steam through the blow-off cock. Gotp Near Moyrerey.—It is said that gold has been discovered near Monterey— both placer as wellas quartz mines. It is also said that silver ore is to be found in Carmelo mountain, near the same place. ProriraBsLe Lecrurinc.— The London Times says that Kossuth realized $15,000 by his series of lectures in Scotland last season, and that he has received eighty invitations for winter lectures in Great Britain. TrLEscore.—A powerful telescope—the largest in the State—arrived at San Francisco from London two weeks since. It was ordered by Dr. Logan and George H. Goddard, (attached to the office of the late Surveyor General.) and will be erected at some convenient point in that city. LovuIsvILLeE SreamBoats.—Thirty-six new steamboats were built the past year at Louisville, Ky., at a total cost of $1,021,000.— Louisville isa famous place for steamboat pbuilding, and ” her steamboat engineers have y i i tly attended to. a a a> Orders from the ae promptly a a high r eputation. é a « abroad.

How seldom we think of the mariner’s grave Far down on the coral strand, Hew little we dream of the wind and wave When all that ‘we love are on land. The hurricane comes, and the hurricane goes, And little the heed we take, Though the trees may snap and the tempests blow, And thewwalls of our homestead shake ; But the narth-east gale tells a different tale, With 2/voice of fearful sound, When w ibyed one is under a close reefed sail : On thedeck of an ‘outward bound.”’ i Ny then we look on the night, ? mg clouds go by, . c+ As the winds get up and the last faint light, isdying away in the sky.

Oh, I never will measure affection again As ’tis measured the hearthstone around ; 3ut will wait till the loved is far o’er the main On the deck of the ‘‘outward bound.”’ Isr So?—It is a popular belief that the age of trees can be determined by the ‘“‘rings”’ or grains that overlay each other in their trunks. Mr. Joshua Howard, of Maryland, disputes the fact. He says that these rings counted on the section of the tree are not of annual growth, but are formed one at every full moon in the growing season, and in the latitude of Maryland five in a year. This he has frequently proved by felling young trees, the age of which he knew. The extraordinary age given to trees by the popular rule Ukiy mace many persons doubt whether it is true. The Growth of Machinery. Emerson, in his “English Traits,” has a striking and curious chapter on the above subject, from whieh we extract the following: *Tis a curious chapter in modern history, the growth of the machine shop. Six hundred years ago, Roger Bacon explained the precession of the equinoxes, the consequent necessity of the reform of the calender, meased the length of the year, invented gunpowder, and announced (as if looking from his lofty cell over five centuries into ours,) that machines can be constructed to drive ships more rapidly than a whole galley of rowers could do; nor would they need anything but a pilot to steer them. Carriages also might be constructed to move at an_ incrediable speed, without the aid of any animal. Finally it would not be impossible to make machines whicb, by means of a suit of wings, should fly in the air in the manuer of birds. But the secret slept with Bacon. The six hundred years have not yet fulfilled his words. Two centuries ago the sawing of timber was done by hand; the carriage wheels ran on wooden axles; the land was tilled by wooden plows. And _ it was to little purpose that they had pit coal, or that looms were improved, unless Watt and Stephenson had taught them to work force pumps and power looms by steam. The great strides were all taken within the last two hundred years. The “Life of Sir Robert Peel,’?? who died the other day, the model Englishman, has very properly for a frontispiece a drawing of the spinning-jenny, which wove the web of hisfortune. Hargreaves invented the spinning-jenny, and died ina workhouse. Arkwright improved the invention, and the machine disposed with the work of ninety-nine men ; that is, one spinner could do as much work as a hundred had done before The loom was improved further. But the men would sometimes strike for wages, and combine against the masters, and, about 1829 *30, much fear was felt lest the trade would be drawn away by these interruptions, and the emigration of the spinnersto Belgium and the United States. Iron and steel are very obedient. Whether it were not possible to make a spinner that would not rebel, nor mutter, nor scowl, nor strike for wages, nor emigrate? Atthe solicitation of the masters, after a mob and riot at Staleybridge, Mr. Roberts, of Manchester, undertook to create this peaceable fellow, instead of the quarrelsome fellow God had made. Aftera few trials, he succeeded, and, in a creation, . the delizht of mill owners, and destined, they . said, “to restore order among the industrious . classes ;”’ a machine requiring only a child’s . hand to piece the broken yarns. As Ark-. wright had destroyed domestic spinning, so . Roberts destroyed the factory spinner. Thepower of machinery in Great Britain in mills . has been computed to be equal to 600,000,000 . men, one man being able, by the aid of steam, . to do the work which required two hundred and fifty men to accomplish fifty years ago. The production has been commensurate.” . . . In Brooklyn, N. Y., they have a great Au. tomatic Hot Air Oven, capable of baking . 58,008 loaves of Bread per day. Recently . 2000 loaves were baked in one day, which did not supply the demand. The bread is said to be more nutritious and palatable than in the old way. { \ 24-1857. sey —— ret ~~ FENCING Tower.

Sheacted in that capacity for her distingutahed Uncle during his late residence in London, and is said to have there won for herself the esteem and admiration of all visitors to the Ameriean Embassy. gs The New Yorkers are determined to do away with ferry boats between that city and Brooklyn. Two plans are proposed for a substitute—qne is a tunnel wnder the East River, and the other is a bridge over it. Both are pronounced practicable. The bridge, if built, must stamd 150 feet above the water in order to clear the masts of the largest ships, and of course must be constructed on the suspension principle. There is no obstacle to this plan onthe Brooklyn side, as the “Heights” affotd a most excellent starting point. The difficulty lies on the New York side, where the” bridge must be suspended from a tower ft least 200 feet high, and a carriage way 2 ding to its summit must start from a considerable distance back in the city. Money and mechanical skill, however, will devise a,way to remove all obstacles in the way of the Xttainment of any desired end.

It conststs simply, in the sinking of a shaft by means of a two-inch auger attached to light bars of iron, with other apparatus for pumping, drilling, &c., similar to that employed in boring ‘the Artesian well upon the public square. It requires but the labor of a few hours with this apparatus to reach a depth of fifty feet, whence can be obtained supply of water that cannot be exhausted by constant pumping.— There are seven of these wells in this city, in successful operation.—Stockton Argus. $F The long-contested Almaden quickdesire to acquire a knowledge of the English . sijyer mine case has been decided in favor of language. “sm, ~ Fa.> the present occupants. 73,638 j ee

Established for the Permanent Cure of all private and chronic diseases and the suppression of quackery. R. L. J. CZAPKAY, late in the Hungarian Revo. lutionary War, Chief Physician to the 20th Regiment of Honveds, Chief Surgeon to the military hospital at Pesth, Hungary, and late lecturer on diseases . ofthe urinary organs and diseases of women and children, has opened his Institute for the cure of all forms ef private diseases, such as syphilis, gonor. rheea, nocturnal emissions, and all the consequences of self abuse. In the first stages of syphilitic or gonorhceal diseases, he guarantees a cure ina few days, without inconvenience to the patient or hindrance to his business. When a patient, by neglect or improper treatment, has developed the syiaptoms of se -ondary syphilis, such as buboes, or painful sw ellings of the groins, or ulcers in the throat or nose, which if not checked, destroy the soft parts aul cause the bones to mortify, separate and come ave) ing the sufferer hideous to behold jor when splotches ant pimples break out upon the skin, or when he has . painful swellings’apon the bones, or when his consti. tation is injured so as te predispose fe consumption . or constitutional disease, the Doctor guarantees a cure or asks no compensation. In rheumatism, chronic or acute, in dysentery or . diarrheea, he has safe and effectualremedies. For the treatment of the consequences of self-abuse such as nocturnal emissions, nervousness, timidity, headache, pains in the back and limbs, with general weakness, loss of appetite, loss of memory, injury to the sight, restlessness, confusion of ideas, dislike for society, and a feeling of weariness of life, with the nervous system so excitable that slight noises shock or startle the patient, making his existence miserable. For the above maladies the Doctor will guarantee a cure or ask no compensation. He can be consulted free of charge, and invites all to call, as it will cost them . nothing, and may be much to their adyanisge. } A Tribute to Werited Werth, ] HE INGRATITUDE of man to his fellow man is so often met in life, that testimonials, proinpted by the finer feelings of the heart, are oasis in the life of those who sacrifiae their best days in philanthropic devotion to the alleviation of the ills o rtali ty. Empiricism floods the columus of o1 ess with . fraudulent and fictitious letters, singing ns'to the worth of their egotistical charlatanism. Ltlow we append a letter from a worthy man, who, a brief period since, seemed destined to ‘shuitile off this mortal eoil,’’ who looked forward to his dissolution with that pleasure which only those weighed down with the heavy hand of disease can. Contrary to hope, the ability of a skillful physician has restored him to his former health. Relieved from his terrible situation, and impelled by gratitude, he makes known his case andfremedial agent, and his statement is authenticated by a notary public. The demands of society imperiously command its publicity, and it is given more to warn the unwary than to sound the praises of a physician of whom scores of like cases can be cited: Certificate. The undersigned, desirous of acquainting those who may be unfortunate enough to be similarly afflicted where a permanent relief of their sufferings may be obtained, feels it his duty to publicly express his sincere gratitude to Dr. L. J. Czapkay, for the permanent recovery of his health. Borne down by the distressing symptoms incident to the vicious practices of uncontrollable passions in youth, depressed in body and mind, unable to perform even the most trifng duty imposed upon the daily avocations of life, sought the advice of many physicians, who at first regarded my disease as of trifling importance, but, alas! after afew week, and in several instances months, of their treatment, Ifound to my unutterable horror, that instead of relief the sympton s became more alarming in their torture, and being finally told by one that the disease, being principally contined to the brain, medicines would be ot little consequence, I despaired of ever regaining my health, strength and energy; and as a last resert, and with but a faint hope called upon Dr. Czapkay, who, after examining my case, prescribed some medicine which almost instantly repthenitaigphcnceienimnipeaeailipmsineniainenmitmeits lieved me of the duil pain and dizziness in my head. . . scientific skill. byt that of humanity also. . two years a ; to me, was to my inability to meet the expenses consequent upon . . a thorough medical treatment, and the failures which . [met with ou attempting it, soon became such (as I . Was then led to believe) as to defy the skill of a phySubscribed an Encouraged by this result, I resolved to place myself immediately under his care, and, by a strict obedience to his directions and advice, my head became clear, my ideas collected, the constant pains in my back and groins, the weakness of my limbs, the nervous re action of my whole system on the slightest alarm or excitement, the misanthropy and evil forebodings, the self-distrust and want of confidence in others, the incapability to study and want of resolution, the frightful, the exciting, and at times the pleasurable dreams at night, followed by involuntary discharges, have all disappeared, and in fact, in two months after consulting the Doctor, I felt as if inspired by a new life, that life which, but a short time ago, I contemplated to end by my own hand. ‘ With a view to guard the unfortunate from falling into the snare of incompetent quacks, I deem it my duty te offer this testimeny to the merit and skill of Dr. Czapkay, and recommend him to all who may stand in need of medical advice, being assured by my . . own experience that, once 7 se aa care, a radical and permanent cure will be effected. : B.

Cordage Manufactery: An extensive Cordage manufactory has recently been established in San Francisco, for the manufacture of every description of cables and rope. The ropewalk is 00 feet long.

We hail with pleasure the home mantfacture of articles of necegsary consumption, for which this State has hitherto been entirely dependent upon importations from this line has been done or attempted. There isa kind of hemp native to Oregon, used by the Indians in making nets and cords, which seems to be very fine, and would doubtless . make good ropes. If Manilla or Kentucky hemp will not grow here, the Oregon hemp or something else of the kind must be resorted to. There . is no good reason why California should not . soon export either raw or manufactured articles of this nature, or bagh. A VALUABLE Dismonp.—The Exeter [Eng.) . Gazette mentions the discovery of the immense value of a blue stone which had been for some years in the possession of Mr. Basi tow Taylor, of Totnes, and who deemed it only an ordinary pebble until a few weeks ago, when his attention was more minutely . drawn to it from the fact that a piece chipped from the principal lump was found to cut readily through a piece of glass. Upon this Mr. Taylor submitted the original piece of stone to a lapidary, who has, we are informed, pronounced this stone to bea blue diamond of the second water, and of more than £50,000 in value. Since this announcement in our last, Totnes has been visited by a great number of dealers in precious stones, /to whom Mr. Taylor courteously shows the piece which was accidentally chipped off the original, but the real ‘mountain of blue light”’ or whatever else it may turn out to be, has been forwarded to one of the most skilled lapidaries in the metropolis, who is . making a series of experiments to ascertain . its real value. . takes acoras, huils them, and then boiis them . in a weak solution of carbonate of soda for * about half an hour, then taken out and washed.

IxcREASE oF STEAMSHTPS.— Steamships have rapidly increased within the past few years. There are now no less than thirtynine steamships regularly running between America and Europe, comprising seven British and four American lines, one French and one Belgian. The aggregate tonnage of these vessels amounts to about 100,000 tons. Removina ScaLe FRoM STEAM BoILERs.— B. B. Lindsay, of London, has obtained a patent for removing scale from the interior of steam boilers by heated air, or highly heated steam. All the water in the boiler is run off, and the boiler is then left tocool. When cold, the highly heated air or steam is introduced by a pipe, when, after a suitable time being allowed for it to take effect, it is stated that the scale cracks off and leaves the plates clean. The scale is then blown out with water and steam through the blow-off cock. Gotp Near Moyrerey.—It is said that gold has been discovered near Monterey— both placer as wellas quartz mines. It is also said that silver ore is to be found in Carmelo mountain, near the same place.

How seldom we think of the mariner’s grave Far down on the coral strand, Hew little we dream of the wind and wave When all that ‘we love are on land. The hurricane comes, and the hurricane goes, And little the heed we take, Though the trees may snap and the tempests blow, And thewwalls of our homestead shake ; But the narth-east gale tells a different tale, With 2/voice of fearful sound, When w ibyed one is under a close reefed sail : On thedeck of an ‘outward bound.”’ i Ny then we look on the night, ? mg clouds go by, . c+ As the winds get up and the last faint light, isdying away in the sky.

Bui now that the bounds o’er treacherous tide Affection increases the more, AsI think of the waters deep and wide And bask in the sunbeams on shore.

Oh, I never will measure affection again As ’tis measured the hearthstone around ; 3ut will wait till the loved is far o’er the main On the deck of the ‘‘outward bound.”’ Isr So?—It is a popular belief that the age of trees can be determined by the ‘“‘rings”’ or grains that overlay each other in their trunks. Mr. Joshua Howard, of Maryland, disputes the fact. He says that these rings counted on the section of the tree are not of annual growth, but are formed one at every full moon in the growing season, and in the latitude of Maryland five in a year. This he has frequently proved by felling young trees, the age of which he knew. The extraordinary age given to trees by the popular rule Ukiy mace many persons doubt whether it is true. The Growth of Machinery. Emerson, in his “English Traits,” has a striking and curious chapter on the above subject, from whieh we extract the following: *Tis a curious chapter in modern history, the growth of the machine shop. Six hundred years ago, Roger Bacon explained the precession of the equinoxes, the consequent necessity of the reform of the calender, meased the length of the year, invented gunpowder, and announced (as if looking from his lofty cell over five centuries into ours,) that machines can be constructed to drive ships more rapidly than a whole galley of rowers could do; nor would they need anything but a pilot to steer them. Carriages also might be constructed to move at an_ incrediable speed, without the aid of any animal. Finally it would not be impossible to make machines whicb, by means of a suit of wings, should fly in the air in the manuer of birds. But the secret slept with Bacon. The six hundred years have not yet fulfilled his words. Two centuries ago the sawing of timber was done by hand; the carriage wheels ran on wooden axles; the land was tilled by wooden plows. And _ it was to little purpose that they had pit coal, or that looms were improved, unless Watt and Stephenson had taught them to work force pumps and power looms by steam. The great strides were all taken within the last two hundred years. The “Life of Sir Robert Peel,’?? who died the other day, the model Englishman, has very properly for a frontispiece a drawing of the spinning-jenny, which wove the web of hisfortune. Hargreaves invented the spinning-jenny, and died ina workhouse. Arkwright improved the invention, and the machine disposed with the work of ninety-nine men ; that is, one spinner could do as much work as a hundred had done before The loom was improved further. But the men would sometimes strike for wages, and combine against the masters, and, about 1829 *30, much fear was felt lest the trade would be drawn away by these interruptions, and the emigration of the spinnersto Belgium and the United States. Iron and steel are very obedient. Whether it were not possible to make a spinner that would not rebel, nor mutter, nor scowl, nor strike for wages, nor emigrate? Atthe solicitation of the masters, after a mob and riot at Staleybridge, Mr. Roberts, of Manchester, undertook to create this peaceable fellow, instead of the quarrelsome fellow God had made. Aftera few trials, he succeeded, and, in a creation, . the delizht of mill owners, and destined, they . said, “to restore order among the industrious . classes ;”’ a machine requiring only a child’s . hand to piece the broken yarns. As Ark-. wright had destroyed domestic spinning, so . Roberts destroyed the factory spinner. Thepower of machinery in Great Britain in mills . has been computed to be equal to 600,000,000 . men, one man being able, by the aid of steam, . to do the work which required two hundred and fifty men to accomplish fifty years ago. The production has been commensurate.” . . . In Brooklyn, N. Y., they have a great Au. tomatic Hot Air Oven, capable of baking . 58,008 loaves of Bread per day. Recently . 2000 loaves were baked in one day, which did not supply the demand. The bread is said to be more nutritious and palatable than in the old way. { \ 24-1857. sey —— ret ~~ FENCING Tower.

Sheacted in that capacity for her distingutahed Uncle during his late residence in London, and is said to have there won for herself the esteem and admiration of all visitors to the Ameriean Embassy. gs The New Yorkers are determined to do away with ferry boats between that city and Brooklyn. Two plans are proposed for a substitute—qne is a tunnel wnder the East River, and the other is a bridge over it. Both are pronounced practicable. The bridge, if built, must stamd 150 feet above the water in order to clear the masts of the largest ships, and of course must be constructed on the suspension principle. There is no obstacle to this plan onthe Brooklyn side, as the “Heights” affotd a most excellent starting point. The difficulty lies on the New York side, where the” bridge must be suspended from a tower ft least 200 feet high, and a carriage way 2 ding to its summit must start from a considerable distance back in the city. Money and mechanical skill, however, will devise a,way to remove all obstacles in the way of the Xttainment of any desired end.

It conststs simply, in the sinking of a shaft by means of a two-inch auger attached to light bars of iron, with other apparatus for pumping, drilling, &c., similar to that employed in boring ‘the Artesian well upon the public square. It requires but the labor of a few hours with this apparatus to reach a depth of fifty feet, whence can be obtained supply of water that cannot be exhausted by constant pumping.— There are seven of these wells in this city, in successful operation.—Stockton Argus. $F The long-contested Almaden quickdesire to acquire a knowledge of the English . sijyer mine case has been decided in favor of language. “sm, ~ Fa.> the present occupants. 73,638 j ee
