INTERESTING MECHANICAL EXPERIMENT.. Among the
many surpfising.ac6ievemnts of science and art few will
be deemed more intere4iiag to the..gentler: stx than the
successful termination of. a long series of experiments
which have fora long period tested the ingeriuity of those
by whom the novel- task has now.. been accomplished.
Without enumerating the disappcintments which attend
all experiments, it will be more agreeable to follow the
processes which have been attended with so perfect a re-
sult. An imititiln of the beautiful Indian work of
Peshawur was required ; and, from the close-matted
nature of that embroidery, and the complicated detail
which Constitutes the flindootrutian style of work,
all attempts witti, the needle were abandoned, and, a
skilful compressing- procese was adePted. Engraved
copper-plates are charged with the c louring matter and
placed-on a metal hex- connected with .a steam-engine.
•The bOx is fixed in a strong table, .and a pressure of 70
tons, by means of a hydraulic machine, is applied to the
fabric, lehich has prevPusly been placed, 'with five thick
blankets, upon the copper-plate. While the fabric is
under this enormous pressure the- steam is turned into
the box, and the de,agn is thus raised and fixed' with an
effect that cannot be distinguished at a short distance
from the finest descriptions_ of braiding. The most deli
cate, as well as the roughest, fabrics can be so treated.
The effect is singularly

tive embiWdery a*tempted by the needle.' Jay and
Sinitb,.the proprietors of the Sponsalia, -Regent-street,
are the
,fortonate originators and patentees of
.this Charm-
ing novelty—one•schich bids fair, as the French say, to
have a grand succa.—Morning Ileral4. •• ..
