NEW, BRICK MAKING • MAcalNE.—There was at
Royal Agricultural Society's ENhibitiot
machine for making bricks from i

at Warw•ici

clay,_ pat

Kr, Chamberiain, of Kempsey

It will b.

prise to these who cOnsider-that clay. must be cast in win
tempered in heap, and wrought in the pug. before it can

moulded. I saw clay taken-from the hill-side

powder, and transforined into the densbrick:s pc

it once for the kiln, in the short space of, ,or

thirty seconds. ',l:he mill is formed of a pan,. in which
revolve two heavy rollers to ride over the material when tin
charge is excessive. Beyond the solid metal of this pan oE

I whit-ft the rollers runs is-a grating through which t

clay drops to a pan below, whence it is raised, by elevators,
to a hopper- above. the revolving mould table, when it is sub-
ject to enormous pressure from beneath ad above to expel
the air. The table is,turned by a tappet wheel, and moves
the length of one mould . each time. This action. delivers
two empty moulds under the hoppers to receive claY, delivers
two bricks from above. The moulding part of the machine
I weighs 25 tons. With six moulds, and driven by a 6-liorse

engine, at four strokes' to deliver 24 bricks per niinute, it is
capable of giVing 330 tons' pressure on the six bricks.
There were dense bricks exhibited made 'from pure dry
silieia, which would,' of course, require great' pressure;
ordinary clays require a pressure varying from 20 to
.30 tons
each brick.—Correspondence of the Western Press.

PREMEDITATED MURDER AND SUICIDE THROUGH LOVE.
. • --TEXTRAOILDINAILY CAKE.-On Saturday, Wakley pro-
ceeded with an inquiry in Middlesex Ilospital,;touching the
death of William Charles Stevenson, 'a carpenter, aged 21,
who committed self-destruction under the subjoined peenliar
circumstances :----It appears that the deceased was found
lia,ngingi by a rope from a beam in his father's workshop,

on Thursday morning, at five o'clock, and 'upon being.cut .down arid' conveyed to the hospital,. life was found
.to be extinct. Ths act•• appeared to be the result of a

and his 'sleeves tucked up, just as, though he 'had

quitted his bench, and at once• committed the rash act.
Amelia Shephard, the deceased's sweetheart, said. she saw
the deceased last alive on Wednesday night about twenty
minutes past eleven o'clock. She had known hini for about
two years, and, of late, within the last two months, he ap-
peared very unhappy. This was 'caused by her wishing to
leave him, as he had not kept his promise to marry her, at

that she did not wish to see him again, and he appeared af-

and said' he would make away with himself. He added that
if he did kill himself, she (witness) should go too (sensation);
and she expostulated with him and said, "What astir it would
