Providence Steam Eng ine.-The Prov
ldence American contains the report of
a committee appointed TO examine a
steam-eg'ne, invented by DIR. Wads-
worth, and lately built a: Providence
The steam is generated in sixteen dou-
Bile pipes, Of four feet in length, and
one and bait inches interior diameter.
These are entirely distinct from each
other, and are i2serted in furnace of
mason work, four and half feet long.
three and half feet wide. and three
high. These tubes present TO the fire
surface of water of about forty-eight
square feet, and they are connected by
means of tubes with the cylinder, on
which the steam acts in the usual man.
ner The engine operated with pres
sure of fourteen pounds to the sqnare
luUiI, ami was ertina,ed, from he area,
length, and vibrations of The piston, TO
be of eleven horse power. During the
period occupied by the committee in the
investig CATION, three hours and half one
foot of pine wood was consumed, and
this quantity was amply sufficient for
heating The engine, generating the
steam, and keeping the engine 10 ore
ration. They estimate the saving of
tuel, over that consumed in engines Of
the same power, of the c>ual construc-
ton, AT sixty six per cent. One ef the
committee had Witnessed the application
OF Rhode-island coal 10 the working of
the engine, with entire success.
RAILwAY,-The Troy Register says
" We have before suggested the fcasi-
billy OF railway from Boston to this
place. Many arguments present Them
selves in its favor. Ii was estimated
that there was not less than 13t.1OO
pounds of poultry in the Boston market.
me day previous 10 The thanksgiving in
that State, which WIS sold for about
eight cents per pound on an average
price OF poultry ia this market is about
tour and halt cents pound, and If The
same quantity was for sale here. il
would amount 10 but S6,o34. BY send
ing II to Boston i would bring the sum
OF four thousand seuen Hundred and eioh.
teen dollars more than in this market.
1t is believed. that the price of pork is
also proportionsbiy higher IN Boston
than here. Between this place and that
city, there are very many quarries Of
excellent stone which would continually
De increasing in demand, as long as the
country exists. The mountains being
" crowned with imperial oak" and 9TH
er trees, would yield large supply of
timber. wood, aud coal, both to this and
the Boston market. It may Sc m too
great an undertaking, but we should
cast our thoughts back to the com
mencement of the Erie Canal, and our
doubts will be removed"
american Wanufa exports
OF American Manufactures, during this
year, will exceed sir, millions of dollars
in value. The Secretary says, that the
amount produced for consumption at
home, during This year, will be so large,
that the amount exported will sink to a
level below all comparison with it. In
those branches of manufacture which
have been aided by sufficient protecting
duties, the article can now be had
cheaper 10 price, as well as better in
quality than the same article from a.
broad was, prior to the passage of the
tariff. TSalem Observer
