Remarkable occurence.-Two steam boats.
belonging to different lines, start from Phila-
delphia daily, at 6 o'clock, A. NJ. for Bristol.
The New-York Gazette contains an interest
ing story concerning beautiful young lady,
who fell from one of the boats soon after
starting, and was picked up by the other,
which was but-a short distance behind. The
gentleman to whose care she was intrusted
did not miss her till after breakfast, when, on
inquiry, he was informed by one Of. the pas
sengers that he thought he saw lady fail
into the water, Git being too dark at the time
TO see distinctly.) that the buoyancy of her
dress caused her to float lightly on the waves,
and that he believed she was taken into the
other boat all this was found to be true on
the arrival Of the boats at Bristol.
Important InlprOremeat.-A Brick Kiln,
for which patent has been secured, is now
erecting in Washington, on plan which, we
think, will be found much better than that OF
brick kilns now in use. The inventor, Mr..
Blackwell Ian appropriate name seems conf
dent that, with less judgment than is required
to perform the operation of burning we'll in
the kiln on the old plan, and with less fuel,
and in a shorter time, tae whole of the bricks
in those of his construction may be made per-
fectly and uniformly hard. Thus, should his
expectations be realized, one subject of seri-
Gus complaint, now often heard-damp
houses, in consequence of soft or half burnt
bricks-may hereafter be entirely removed.
