Tub Awhmation or It is rumored that one of the topic ot the message of Mr. Tyler, the opening t.f Congress, will he the enlarge ment ol the Uoion, by taking the nevr republic of Texts iuto the confederation, and that this step will be strongly recommended by the Executive.

Whether this be so or not we have no means of knowing but we have observed that the papers more particularly in the interest of Mr. Tyler, have lately urged, with great zeal, the policy of admit. tins Texas into the Union. We must therefore re- caH the rumor a probable. me project of annexing Texas tothe United has an immediate connexion with the slave- uuestion.

that it is contemplated as a sort of Lnlwark to the institution of slavery in the south. west, that the zeal with which it haa been lately urged has been awakened by (be fear tliat Texas, if left to herself, might abolish slavery within her bo.i-rs, there can be no manner of doubt. It re mains to be seen wr.etner Congress will treat a proposition having for its object the protection and preservation ofalavary, in the same manner as it has treated those which have been made with a view of assailing and destroying it whether they will meet it with the same policy ol exclusion and silence. The policy is certainly as just in this eae as in the other: but it is clear to our minds that it will not be observed. The topic if intio duced in the President's message will be fire brand thrown into Congress.

bench Claims. We see that there is to be held to-morrow a meeting of the claimants for re. dress for spoliations committed by the government ofFrance prior to 1600. We have so often expressed our sense of the jus tice of this demand upon the United States, that it is not necessary that we should here repeat the arguments that have again and again appeared in this paper. The whole matter lies in a nut-shell.

Our go vernment failed to discharge the primary duty of protecting its citizens from robbery, and instead ot insisting upon redress from the offending party. they voluntarily released the claims in exchange for a direct pecuniary benefit to themselves. If this do not constitute a just and well founded claim on the government, we are utterly at a losa to know what would. We understand the claim, nts intend to make a united and vigorous efWt- aod we heartily wiah them success. The meeting is to be held at the Society Library Lecture Room, comer ot Leonard street and Broad way, at 10 o'clock, A.

The trial which has been proceeding in this court for almost three weeks past, on a suit between Albert Van Cott, a jewel -r, and W. II. Shirp, a student of law, for damages on a chargi of criminal conversation, between Van Cott's wile and the defendant, was last night brought to a close. To give an adequate idea of the consumption of lime occasioned by this ingle case, it should be stated, that during the greater part of its continuance tha sessions of the Court have been extended far into the night. Nearly sixty witnesses, of whom perhapa one-half were females, have been examined and not a few of whom were summoned from a distance, and have keen compelled to give a daily attendance during a coRsiderable period of the trial.

At every stage of the cause the large court room has been crowded with spectators, and all its avenues thronged with others burning with a prurient desire to witness the proceeding, but unable to obtain en trance. Such cases will arise, and, like all other subjects of judicial decision, must be investigated thoroughly, minutely, and with respect to all other considerations than the ascertainment of truth, and the due administration of justice, ruthlessly. But it is certainly to be regretted that since these invest! gations canaot be wholly private, a greater publici ty should be given to their disgusting and indecent details, than the circumstances of ordinary civil trials ever attain that the lowest appetites com tuon to so many in all classes of society should be pampered and ministered to, at the expense of that delicacy and propriety of feeling which is the foun dation ot private morality, and the preservation of public virtue. The evidence in this case have been too volum inous for even the prolific powers of reproduction possessed by the lower class of the city press the baser portion has of course been diligently culled for several of this description of papers, and has been given to their readers with sufficient fidelity The result of this, there can be little douht. is I destroy all the good effects which should tol.v,v the infliction of the legal penally for vice, and to engender by a familiarity with the features of licentiousness, a widespread looseness of opinion and the grossest depravity of taste.

These views were admirably illustrated by Judge Kent in his charge to the jury, which was also remarkable lor a clear, methodical, and concise examination and arrangement, of the prodigious ot testimony, the accumulation of more than two weeks steady questioning and answering. By the exercise of a wonderful power of just discrimina" tion, he soon reduced the chaotic heap to order, exposed the character ot the witnesses, analyzed their evidence, and pointed out the different de grees ol credibility to vtvch tint ot each was en titled. The judge concluded by earne stly exhorting the jury to agree upon a verdict, if ihcy should find it possible to do so. They retired at abuut 7 o'clock, under instructions to bring in a sealed verdict this morning, but at twelve o'clock to day tliey were still out, and it was thought would have to be dis- mi-. 1, without coming to a determination.

I' conia-ui iist ulalltheciiy ouicers, anJ ihecouipeusatioi state of ail the arrangements, of every kind, fur city government, including the public schools illustrated with a map of the city of New in its present state, and another very curious of the city in 1795, when its northern limit Wall street, where stood the city gates, on Broadway and Kiug's street. Tbe work contains a list of the members of the Common Council of New York, from 1653, when all had Dutch names, and were called Burgo and Schepens, down to the present time. copy of the minutes of an old fashioned caucus in 1804 by the members of the Corporation, tbe Mayor, De Witt Clinton, in the chair, Teuuis Wortman, secretary, at which a large of removals from office was agreed upon. appears that the caucuses were then held at the houses of the members.

The work is evidently compiled with very great care, and must have considerable labor to the compiler. It has been published by the Common Council, but, because of use to the citizens generally, we presume arrangements will be made by which they can be supplied with copies. From that part of the work which relates to the a id interments of tbe citv of New York. take the following article, written by Dr. Fran Health or the City or New York.

The ot New York may be classed among tbe most healthy of its size in tne world. As no register ot births, however, is preserved, one important item wanting in estimating its comparative salubrity. apparent average mortality, greater than some its sister cities, is to be referred to the number emigrants who resort to this great emporium. characteristic feature of a large proportion of most prevalent disorders is inflammatory the outlet of human life by pulmonary con sumption ana tne numoer ot still born cases is supposed to have much increased of late years by injudicious use of the secale cornuium or ergot deaths iron the drinking of cold water in summers ot great solar heat, serves to enlarge bills of mortality. This was particularly the in the ardent season of 1S25.

and in that of The yellow fever has been less frequent in occurrence than formerly. This, by some, is attributed to the improved state of our domestic policy, ana by ot tiers to a more judicious systeoi of quarantine regulations. The first recent of this formidable disorder is that ot its appearance in York in 1702, under the name of the great mortality it was considered by Smith, the bisto as having been brought from the West Indies. It appeared again in 1742. according to Col- and some nntice was given by Adorns of its ravages in this city again itt 1791.

The visitations this disease have been since 1795, in the years tout. ioua, isyo, 1819, and 1822. The controversy involving the specific chaiacter and contagious and non-contagious nature of this dis has elicited much talent from the faculty on sides of the question, though not without occasionally betraying too much asperity. The moot ample accounts or this fever are those by Bajley, Miller, and Hosack, and that of the disease of 1622 P. S.

Townsend, M. D. In 1332 the cholera asphyxia, or Asiatic cholera, appeared in the city New York. The disorder exhibited a train of formidable symptoms novel to nearly all who encountered it and was regarded as a nova pestis by most of the experienced and enlightened presenters. Nearly five thousand of the inhabitants fell victims to it, notwithstanding the intrepidity with which it was combatterl, and now at this present writing, (August, 1834,) the same pestilence, char acterized by the same venom, is again prevalent he number of its cajes is, however, few, compar with that of the season ef 1832 The average temperature of New York through the year is stated at 55 dee i Fahienlieit.

In winter, the thermometer is larelv lower than 15 e. or 2'J dt-c. bel the freezing point some times the mercury falls to zero, and it has been observed at two, three, fegr or six degrees below Most unquestionably the nearness ef tha At lantic and the Gult Stream conduce to abate the severity of the winter. Snow is not of frequent occurrence, and rarely continues on the ground more than ten or twelve days at a time. The winter closes about the loth or 15th of March.

The temperature of the summer is rarely higher thaa dej. or 84 deg there area few days in which thermometer ranges between 90 dee. and 90 but this heat is of short continuance, as the evening sea breezes cause a great abatement of it at night. There are not a few sudden changes in temperature beth in summer and win'er. The greatest change yet noticed in New Yoik took place in August, 1809, when by the sudden coming of a northwest storm of rain, the thermometer evinced a difference of forty degrees within the course of filty-six minutes.

But this is no fair sample of the general character of the sudden vicissitudes of the weather. The prevailing winds summer are from the south and southwest in winter, from the north, and northeast, and northwest. The annual average ef deaths is stated, by Vil- lerme, at Paris as 1 to 32 6-50ths. In London, it put down as 1 to 38 or 40 in Glasgow as 1 to The annual mortality at Naples is reported 1 to 29 J. In the whole United States it has published as 1 to 40.

In the healthiest dis tricts ol tha United States as 1 to 56; and in the most unhealthy as 1 to 35. This calculation is probably so favorable as a mote accurate examination of facts would authorize. In New York may be si down as 1 to 39 J. Notwithstanding speculations of many ingenious writers, as Williamson, Volney, Pseist, Ate, there is not much reason to suppose that our seasons have become much milder, or are in any particular manner ameliorated and the recent elaborate investigation of Arago seems to render snch a flattering speculation altogether hypothetical. This circumstance seems corroborated by the various accounts that hive been published of tbe weather during the winter of 1831 2, in various parts ot the Uo ited States.

According to some, this winter has been colder than ever before in the memory of man. In Georgia and Tennessee, the mercury was at zero; in Washington, 5 or 6 deg. below, and in Augusta, Maine, 26 deg below zero. The city ot New York has furnished repeated examples of severe during the same period. Similar observations are justifiable of the season 1833 4.

The Travels and Adventures of Monsieur Violet, Captain Marryatt's last romance, have been published at the New World Office. The Captain has read Mr. Farnham's book and a few others concerning our western coast and set himself to construct a narrative of imaginary journevs and incidents in that country. The story is full of scenes peril and expectation and hair breadth escapes, which make it entertaining. It is rather thickly peppered with sneers against the Yankees.

The Foreigjt Quarterly Review for Octo-her is republished by Leonard Scott St. Co. of this city. No. 112 Fulton street.

It seems to be an interesting number rather more so than usual One the papers has for its subject "The English on the Continent" animadverting with some severity upon the English character as it is observed in foreign countries. For example: The Englishman Abroad. The funda mental error of the travelling English consists in their brincirg their Eiitclish leclings aud modes with them, ir.siead of leaving them behind to be taken care of with their pictures and furnir lure. You can detect an Englishman abroad by that repulsion of manner which covers him over like froft work, and within the range of which nobody can enter without being bitten with cold. His sense of superiority freezes the very air about him you would think he was a statue ot ice, or a bli ck dropped from a glacier of tne loftiest Alps.

Savannah- A report on the finances of the ot Savannah by a committee appointed by the Council, has been lately published in the papers of that city. It appears that the whole amount the city debt is $603,802, of which $540,000 is debt contracted for aiding the prosecution of the Central and Monroe Rail Roads. These works are tar advanced, and they promise to be of great benefit in promoting the business and prosperity of city.

The Central Rail Road is already opened from Savannah to Macon, a distance.we believe 190 miles, and it is in a fair way to be shortly extended further, and to be united with the State road, and at no remote period with the navigable aters of Alabama and Tennessee. Tbe opening the rail road to Macon was lately celebrated at place by a barbecue. The expenses of the of Savannah lor the next year, including tbe interest on the debt aie estimated at $93,343. The income from present taxes is estimated at and to supply the deficit it is proposed to impose a tax of $1,50 on slaves under 12 years of age, each on slaves from 12 to 60 years, not mechanics, and $10 each on slave mechanics.

Adaais At Cincinnati. John Qniney Adams reached the city of Cincinnati on the 9th ast. He was met by a large concourse of citizeos at the steamboat and escorted te the Henrie House, where he was addressed by the Mayor, Mr. Henry E. Spencer.

After referring to the services of old John Adams, the address closed as follows The spirit which always animated tbe father has ever since breathed forth from the bosom ot son. To the maintenance ot these same principles, in their pristine purity, no one has been signally active than your honored self. For, whatever diversity of sentiment may exist in re to the many opinions and actions of your life, will deny you at least honesty of purpose all yield admiration to youi ardeut love oi liberty, and devoted attachment to the equal rights man. And new, sir, allow me to add, that these same principles are deeply imbedded in the hearts of all people, who have come up with one purpose mind to pay their best tribute to country, rendering homage to tXe worth which adorns it. lour aged compatriots, with tearful eyes and trembling lips, are waiting to bid yon welcome.

generous youth, with quickened pulse and throbbing bosom, are eager to welcome you an, are alike impatient to make known their love respect for tbe great defender of tbe rights of In their name, and on their behalf, I bid a hearty, a thrice told welcome." Mr. Adams's reply was brief, and related chiefly the extraordinary changes which had taken place in the western country within his recollection. He said Fifty years have passed away since the tears streamed Irom my eyes at the loss of dear bosom friends upon a field which now constitutes part of nourishing state. I have seen, in the sequel of that transaction, the men of that savage race, by whom that savage act had been performed, subdued by the superior discipline, education, religion, and military power of my country. I have, subsequent to that, seen tbe establishment, by the Revolutionary Congress of the United States, efthe North West Territory.

And there, with a joy which has never forsaken my bosom, I have seen implanted the race who have declared unto their posterity, through all the lapse of time, that neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist in that territory. I have seen that principle implanted in elementary principles of your existence as a State. Under the provision of that principle of ordinance lor the government ot tbe North West Territory, I haveseen the State of Ohio spring life. On the same day in which it was my fortune to enter the Senate of the United States, as a Representative of one of the oldest States of this Union, on that same day I had the satisfaction to the Representatives of your people enter the Hall of tbe House of Representatives of the United States and -on that same day I toek by the hand members of the Senate of the United States from the State of Ohio. From that time ferward, space of forty years, I have witnessed the growth that State.

And in the vicissitudes of human life, and making allowance for the imperfections which belong to human nature, in the light of those principles which I hope may never be eradicated fiorn tbe bosom of man, I have seen the people of state oi Uhio, not always right, but always intending to be right, and always advancing in prosperity, in happiness, in virtue, and every thing hat can give glory to a people." After a few other remarks to the same effect, and thanking the people for their welceme of him, Mr. Adams closed in the midst of tremendous cheers- To the Editor oj the Evening Post The frequent allusions that have been made through your columns, to a report on tbe affairs of the New York and Erie Rail Road lately submitted to the Directors of that Company, and particularly an exceedingly disingenuous article published in your paper of the 1st inst. over the signature of "Justice," have suggested that inasmuch as the report alluded to has not been made public, and cannot therefore be referred to for tbe correction of misrepresentations that it is due from me to put the public in possession of some of the facts connected with the subjct, referring those who feel any particular interest therein to the report itself, which I Bhall deem it my duty to communicate tothe stale authorities when I shall come make to them tbe report required of me by law on the 1st of January next. The Directors ot this Company, a majority of whom reside in the counties along the line of the road, and were elected to fill vacancies occasioned by resignations, less than a year ago; at their meeting in New York in May last, passed a resolution requesting their then Maxwell, to engage my services in making an examination cf the affairs of the Company. The resolutions were very broad and asked an examination not only of lhir affaire gcnmally, but particularly of that portion of them which related to the economy of the expenditure of capital.

The task was one not to be coveted byjany one but as there was nothing in the required service which, if faithfully performed, could be ct nsidered derogatory to my official duty and being willing as well to serve the true interests of tbe enterprise, as to render to the public, who weie deeply interested, any services which they bad a right to expect Irom me, I consented to undertake the examination. On the subject of compensation, that proposed by Mr. Maxwell, was at once acceded to, and no alteration" was ever afterwards made, or proposed by any ose. The examination, so far as time and circumstances enabled me to effect it, has and the result has been laid before the Directors in the report alluded to. To this, I refer for the proof that the whole has been done in a spirit the opposite ot that of hostility to tbe construction of the road, or the success of the enterprise in any respect.

Much of the report, it is true, is devoted to an examination of the contracts made by the Company in 1810 and 1841, and the prices stipulated and paid for work done under them. A sufficient apology for this.it would seem might be found in the fact that these contracts, althoogb only seren or eight in number, provided for the construction of more than three hundred miles of rail road, and that more than a million of dollars have already been expended under them, leaving them still outstanding and binding on the company for the expenditure of several millions more. When I came to enter upon the examination. I soon tound my duty to exhibit these contracts greatly enhanced from the consideration, that great pains had been, and still was taken, to urge upon the community and the company the belief, which I soon tound was unwarranted, that tbe prices paid under them were low, and that the work had, consequently, been economically dene. To this was superadded an effort to induce the belief that it was particularly the interest of the Company to continue these con tracts, and to suffer the contractors to go on under them and complete their jabs.

In these efforts, no one was more zealously engaged, as none was more responsible for the contracts themselves as well as the transactions connected with them, than the recognized author of the article referred to. Seeing in all this, that net only the public, bijt those Directors who bad recently come into the Board and desired the examination, were liable to be deceived and misled, and that these contracts, forming as I believed tbey would, an insuperable obstacle in the way of future success, were, if such counsels were to prevail, to be entailed upon the company, and that cnajnjy for the purpose of justifying the couise of those who were responsible for them, rather than because they were in themselves advantageous, what was I called upon to do? Ought I to have shrunk from the disclosure of the truth, and earned to myself the good name among those urho would have been particularly accom modated thereby, of making "a candid, frank and liberal statement of lacts Or should as I trust I have done, set down the facts as I found them, that every man might judge for himself i fa doth is 1 have bad no fears, as I trust none are entertained by any who look alone to the future success of this work, that the trutb would be ''of so inju rious a character" as' lo "jeopardise the interests of the road." And indeed it seems to me that nothing short of the peculiar medium through which tbe author of tbe article referred to, sees "thi interests of the road," could enable any one to discover the necessity or usefulness of keeping up a system of disguise in the management of this great enterprise. Surely those who lend themselves to it in the slightest degree, are unworthy to be entrusted with its responsibilities. With respect to the effect which the promulgation of the report in question might have on the prospects of the enterprise, I have always thought that those who dreaded it took counsel either from their fears, or from other and worse advisers. Fearlessness, frankness and honesty, are the price of the public confidence, and these axe not to he dealt out grudgingly in the present case, if that indispensable object is to be served.

A full, frank, and undisguised disclosure of all tbe lacts, lies at Ihe foundation of all true and well directed efforts to raise the fallen prospects of this work. The public demand this, not only for the sake of the information, bnt as a proof ot the independence and integrity of those into whose hands it has now fallen. It was with this view that I engaged in the examination, and with this view tbe report has been made. It will I trust be found in the view of all proper judges to contain a "candid, frank and liberal statement of facts," and not to contain any denunciation of those large contractors," or of any other person. If any danger txists of denunciation" from any quarter, there are those on whom it would be quite as likely to fall, as on 'those large contractors" who were quite at liberty to accept of the best terms that were offered, without being accountable to any one.

I will only add, that deferring all further question respecting the report alluded to, to that document when it shall be laid before the public, I can assure all those who are desirous of seeing the road in question constructed, thai in the same spirit above indicated, and with a sincere desire to aid in the consummation of their wishes, I shall be free at all times, while holding my present posi.ion in reference lo tbe work, to co-operate in all proper measures, calculated to promote its success.

Murder Trials. The trials of James M'Der-mot and Grace Marks, lor the murder of Mr. Kin-pear, took place at Toronto, on Friday, the 3d instant, before the Chief Justice. The evidence was conclusive, and the Jury returned a verdict of guilty against both prisoners, but recommended the female prisoner to mercy. M'Dermot was ordered for execution on tbe 21st instant.

The trial lasted a long time, and the Court was excessively crowded. -Montreal Courier. Loss of the Steamer Lupa. We are pained to notice the total loss of this 'fine steamer, favor ably known as one of tbe regular packets between this and Bayou Sara. Yesterday morning about 2 o'clock, the Luda on her upward trip, and the steamer De Soto, bound down with a load of cotton, came into collision near Bayou Goula landing, parish of Iberville, which unfortunately resulted in the immediate sinking ot the Luda in 2 feet water.

The night was very dark, and the lights rather deceptive, so that it is difficult to say which boat was in the iault. The De Soto was compelled to throw overboard about 150 bales of cotton to lighten her bow and prevent the boat from sinking. She sustained, besides, some other damage by the accident, but not sufficient, we are inform ed, to prevent ner leaving on ber regular day 1 wo ot tbe hands ot tne JLuaa are said to be miss ing.

To revenge this, the bell ot tne airmount engine Company was tolled late in the afternoon, as if lor a fire, and a large party started off, taking with them the lender ot thei- airmount tuigine. un coming to the bouse of the Good-Will Hose, a party emerged from it, from among whom several guns were bred, and these and other demonstrations caused the Enaine men to retreat precipitately, leaving their Tender behind, which was forthwith taken possession of by tbe Hose men, who, alter taking Irom it the nose upen the reel, broke it into pieces. About eight clocic last evening, a party oi men azain proceeded to attack: the Hose Company. A large crowd, some nve hundred or more, was gathered around the house, and as the attacking party advanced they were received with a volley musketry.

An instant retreat was the consequence, and the Hose men pursued the lugitives as tar as Schuylkill Kieht street, (quite a considerable distance) occasionally bring a shot at them as they Bed. Up to eleven o'clock the crowds remained around the Hose House, and it was very dangerous to ap proach it, as shots were frequently fired. Several persons were injured. Gabriel Harvey was shot in the back ot the head, and is dangerously wounded John Morris was shot in the back of the head and in the arm and Nicholas Fulmer was severely wounded in the face with buck shot.

Horrible Affrat The Sunbury American of Saturday last, gives the following particulars oi a most melancholy and tatal affair which took place on Monday night, 31st ult, on the larm lormerlv occupied by Henry Batcher about three miles from Sunbury which resulted in the murder of Mr. John Yandling, son of Mr. Peter Vandling.

The de ceased was about 22 years of age. He is spoken of as having been a young man ot a most amiable dis position, and was highly esteemed by his acquaintances. It appears that the night above mentioned, tbe deceased and two other persons were out hunt ing, when in the course of their rambling they came to the farm alluded to, now in the occupancy of William and Robert Hunter, Irishmen. Here they were molested by one of the Hunters, who commenced quarrelling with them, pretending to believe that they were certain persons with whom he was displeased- Tbe hunting party, however. assured him that they were not the persons he sup posed them to De, that they were out hunting, and were peaceably disposed towards him.

This, how ever, did not satisfy Hunter. He called his brother and another Irishman, by tbe name of John Deva ney, who were in the house close by, to his assist. ance. 1 hose three, assailed the other party with club and stones. Two of the assailed party, were knocked down: The deceased having a gun in his hand, it was taken and knocked over his head siva- ril times while laying on the ground, by which his skull was most horribly fractured.

After inflicting several blows the Irishmen retreated. The other two took up the deceased and conveyed him to the house of his father, residing on Shamokin Island. A physician was immediately called, but the injur ed person died about two hours alter receiving the wouna. adoui a ciock in tne morning, constable Billington was informed of the occurrence, when he immediately collected a posse and proceeded to the residence of the Hunters and arrest ed William and Robert Hunter and John Devanlv They were committed to jail to await their trial tlarruowrgtt (fa) uem.

James Hamilton, of lSew York, a native of Massachusetts, for sawing timber tor ship-build an invention destined to produce a revolution the dock yaids cf all civilized nations, because supplies a deficiency which has long been fell in naval architecture. Most of our readers under stand that no specjes cf architecture requires so many curves ana comoinea curves as mat 01 snip ping tor, with the exception cl masts, spars, and what we may call cross-beams, piece of straight timber Can hardly be found in the frame of a ship, and thalsoine portions of it require two, and even three, curves in a single piece.

Before the invention of Col. Hamilton, all these curves were produced by hewing with tbe axe or adze, a slow and laborious process, which could be performed only hand. The British Government had long sought the means of supplying this deficiency, but had sought it in vain. the wars succeeding the French revolution, from 1795 to 1815, this deficiency cf mechanical means lor converting timber into the forms required for shipping, was severely felt in the British dock yards and Gene Bent ham, an otneer ot engineers, wit some ot the most eminent mechanicians of that peiiod, made numerous experiments to save time; labor and materials, so profusely expended in the com mon mode of hewing. But after expending laige sums in experiments, they produced nothing more than some inconsiderable improvements in the common saw mill, by which they can merely saw straight lines, even in crcoiceu timoer.

inese improvements are now used in a saw mill in the navy yard at Chatham, in Lr.gland out as tney accomplish no more in sawing than was obtained before, or rather as they cannot produce curves in sawing, we should consider them of no great value. But what the British mechanicians thus failed to accomplish, Col. Hamilton has attained in perfec tion. Some years ago he accomplished a great object mechanics, the invention ot a machine lor sawing curved timber for wheels bul as the curves a wheel are concentric, this invention, though highly important in saving time, labor and mate rials, is far inferior, so far as mechanical combination and the magnitude of results are concerned. his saw for ship timber.

Subsequently he en larged his invention by applying it to the sawing chair timber, a species of work requiring com pound curve, though in a degree tar less than shipping. With these inventions he went to Eu rope to obtain patents, in which he succeeded and while he wa in England his attention was called, by Sir James Gordon, commandant of the navy yatd at Chatham, to tbe subject of sawing curves tor ship timber. He examined the saw mill above mentioned at Cnatham, saw its defects, and felt confident of being able to remove them and after close attention to the subject for some time. he supplied that great want, a machine for sawing timber in every variety of curve required, with as much accuracy and expedition, and with as little expenditure of labor, as has ever been reached in the sawing ot straight lines We will endeavor to describe this machine brief ly, yet intelligibly. Let the reader imagine 1 common saw mill, with aloe laid upon it.

nd se cured at the Joot, or end remote tram tbe saw, in the usual manner. Without any additions, the ef fect would be the sawing of a straight line, the saw only moving perpendicularly, and the log horizontally. The first object is to saw a curved line instead ol this straight line, the curve bending inwards from tbe two ends to the middle, and each of the tour sides or tbe log retaining its post tion in relation to the horizon, two perpendicular and rtco horizontal. 1 ne curve is marked with chalk on the upper surface of the log and the op. erator, grasping the back of the saw with a lever, notched at one end for the purpose, guides the edge of the saw, by means of this lever, along tbe curve, precisely as a helmsman would steer a boat with a tiller.

By this simple contrivance is any required curve produced, the cord of the curve still remaining horizontal, or, to speak more plain iv, tne norizonui position 01 me upper surlace of tne log sun remaining. 1 nis curve may be drawn upon one centre; from one extremity of the log to the other, or may consist of any number of smaller curves, drawn upon any centres, the saw being guided upon the chalked mark. But at tbe same operator wishes to produce another curve. running spirally upon the axis ot it. For this purpose, the log turns upon a pivot at each end.

the degree of turning being regulated by a screw, constructed with a circular plate fitted to the lower end of the log. The plate turns upon its centre and if the axis of the central point of its end, be made te turn with any point on the surface ot this plate, the log will turn, fast or slow, as its axis is nearer to the centre er circumlerence of this plate. Then if we suppose the log to be ten feet long, and its axis fixed to any point on this plate, a curve, spiral to its axis, and ot any re quired degree, will be produced. As the log turns to a certain extent witn every stroke of the saw, the curve is perfectly regular through its whole distance and if the operator wishes to reverse this curve at any distance Irom the upper or saw end of the log, he reverses the motion of his plate. The degree of curvature can be exactly calculated.

and the axis ot tbe log set upon tbe plate accordingly and by these two simple contrivances, any required number of horizontal and of spiral curves may be produced on a single stick ot timber running once through the saw mill. Our readers will need no further description to comprehend the immense importance of this invention. Jttut these are not its only metits. In plank and other timber for ships, one of the most important considerations is strength and this is always im paired wnen pianx are curved in straight lines, from a log whose natural fibres are crooked. Hence to produce a plank without dividing the fibres, or, as it is called, cutting across the grain, handsawing is used, and the planks, laid in pile, become straight by pressure.

Col. Hamilton's invention, which follows accurately every curve in the fibre or grain of a log, with as much expedition as straight sawing can be done, will effectually abolish tbis slow process. But another imnortant object is accomplished. In the process of hewing, all the portion cut from the required curve consists of chips, and therefore is wasted. But tbe slabs, or portions removed by Col.

Hamilton's saw, are curved timoer, useiut lor slapping or other purposes. Several naval architects, and especially Fester Rhodes, of our Navy Department, say that this invention completely supplies those two great wants in naval architecture tbe production of any required curves in timber by the rapid process of mill sawing, and the following, with the saw, of any natural curve in the fibres of a log, with out mat great detriment tu strength, grain cutting. vol. namuion naa secured a patent lor his lnven- tion in every maritime nation in Europe, and we trust mat tne feoerat uovernment will be wise enough te adopt it for our Navy.
