CHURCH's PRIN Ting MACHINE

The printing apparatus invented by
Mr.. Church, of the Britannia Work,
Birmingham, forms, perhaps, the most
extraordinary combinatioa Of machine.
~ that has for long time been SUBJ
mitted TO the public. 1t conSlsts of
three pieces of mechanism. The first
has for it's object the casting O! the me-
talic types with extraordinary expedi-
ton, and the arrangement of them for
the compositor. By turning handle,
plugber is made to displace certain
portion of fluid metal, which rushes
with considerable force, through small
apertu ces, into the moulds and ma,ri-
ces by which the types are cast. The
farther progress of the machine dis
charges the types from the moulds, and
causes them to descend into square
tubes, down which they slide. 1t then
brings the body Of each type into the
position required for placing them in
the composing maehiae; and when the
types have descended inio he guides,
they are pushed back by The machine
into ranges, each type preserving lis O.
rect position The machine then re-
turns ip.o it's former state, and the same
opesaiion ia renewed. The CONSTRUCT
tn OK the mouldbar is the most ssrik
ins postion Of the machine. The Sec
ond mac hine selects aud combines the
Types 10 words aud sentences. The Sc
veral sort oftypes are arranged in mar
row boxes OF slips, each individual slip
containing great number of types OF
the same letter, which are called file
of letters. The cases containing the
flea ase placed in the upper part Of
the composing machine, and by means
Of keys. ike those of piano forte, the
compositor can release from any file
the type which he wants. The type
thus liberated is led by collecting arms
intoa curved channel, which answers
the purpose OF composing stick. From
this channel they may be taken 10
words or sentences, and formed by
the hand into pager, by means of box
placed al the side of the machine. The
third machine. for taking impressions
from the types, evinces much ingenuity;
blu, cannot be understood without seve~
raj drawings. After the types have
been used, and the requisite number OF
impressions obtained, they are melted
and recast as before, go that every
sheet is printed with new type.

The interest excited in England BY

that much heat was lost, by sheet Of
steam being sometimes formed at the
bottom Of the boiler, at the Commence
ment of ebulli,ion. In this case, tho
bottom becomes red hot, and the heat
escapes by radiation, in place of being
given off TO the water. Hence Mr. P.
was led to the idea Of comprising the
water in close vessel with high ptss.

Gentema0-Every vestIge OF antiquity
is peculiarly interesting 10 country which
relatively speaking, is young, and but
newly discovered. Hence, we cODtem
plate with such pleasure, or read with
such interest, any thing that regards the
monuments OF ancient times, and the re-
lies of The Aborigiaes OF this Western con
tinent. On the Eth of this month | had
the satisfaction OF viewing, what cannot
help calling monument OF ancient times
but of different character from those TO
which have alluded. it is closely con.
Dected with the first settlement OF this
State. Immediately after the first Lord
Baltimore had brought his colony into Ma.
syiand, about The year 1852, fort was
built on a tongue OF land projecting into
St. Mary's river, opposite ST. Georges
island. Tbe point is still called Fort point.
In this fort The first legislature of tue CO.
IoDy sat. 1t was, at the same time, the
colonists' only protection against the In
dams that surrounded them, the house of
legislature, and the court of Justice
Soon after. a count house was built higher
up ST. Mary's river, which was burnt
down, by which many valuable records
were lost. 1t was afterwards rebuilt -
The edihce still stands, but is ;gs a very
ruinous state, and is sometimes used as an
Episcopal church, and is called ST. tisry's
church, Alter the cour Bhouse bad been
built, the original fort was still garri-
soned, and served to protect the colonists
In process of tine, however, when Mary
land began to be better settled. and, con-
sequen'ly, better protected, the fort seems
TO have been abandoned, and to have fall
en- into decay. The water made nsensi.
BILE, but sure, advances On the lands ill
al last it flowed over the place where the
fort ouce stood. The original cannons OF
tue fort still remained. A lew days ago,
they were disco yered about two hundred
yards from The shore, neary buried in mud,

They soon succeeded, and four can0oDs,
the only ones that remained, are now

SPECIFIC OINTMENT.
WNdE above ointment is offer
| n ed to the public as safe and certain
remedy for those obstinate diseases, some OF
which have so long bafiied medical sciences.
LIST. White swellings Of every description.
end. Sore legs and ulcers, OF long standing.
81. Schirrus or Glapdular Tumors, partIc->
ularly those hardened tumors in women,s
breasts, which often terminate in liberated
| cancers.
4th. Felons, or Catarhs, of every descrip.
ton.
5th. Rheumatic Pains of the joints.
9th. sprains and Bruises of every descrip~
ton.
eth. letters of all kinds.-In this complaint
the patient, in applying the ointment, must
keep tie part out OF water.
8th Chilblains-or parts affected by frost,
1t is also one Of the best remedies for Burns
and Scads--lt eases the pain and draws the
fire out in shorttime.
For women's infamed breasts, and glandu-
lar swellings, it is superior to any medicine
yet known to the medical faculty. 1t is much
safer than mercurial applications, las it does
not contain the smallest atom of any prepara-
ton of that mineral because it does not Law
the patient liable to injury from exposure to
the cold.
This ointment has cured sores of mary years
standipg-where it is impossible or imprudent
| to heal the external sore in consequence of
the bones becoming carious or rotten, it will
stop the progress of the carries, increase the
| quantity of the discharge, remove the offensive
| smell, and ease the pain.
| 1t cures the worst Felons, or Willows, on
an application of fortv-t light hours.
Rheumatisms which have continued 50
long as to become systematic disorder, re-
9uire medicine to be taken nwardly, to be
entirely removed. But in most common cas-
es by applying this ointment externally as di-
rected, it will give relief. And even in old
people, whose pains have been oflongest stand
ing, it will often ease the pain.

Many others, among which are Physicians CT
