reduces this to only $4,000 pounds raised
one foot high in aminute, equivalent to 1000
pounds 2 l-2 miles per hour, the height Of
one foot in minute of time, equal to about
80 pouods, at the rate of four miles per hour.
This is force greater than that exerted by
common cart horse, which is not estimat-
edkat more than 20 pounds; that is to say,
that horse harnessed to cart, weighing
with its load 40 cwt. or two tons, and draw
ing on level road at the rate of four miles
an hour, makes use of the same force as if
his traces, instead of being fastened to a
cart, were passed over pully, and lifted
perpendlcularly weight of seventy pounds.
The expression of the power of the steam
engine In horses powers is consequently
more practical than scientific. 1t was intro
duced when steam engines first began to
supercede horse mills, when the manufac-
turer naturally inquired, how many horses
a steam engine would dispense with ?-Lon-

LADIES IN INDIA. The practice of send
ing yo ung ladies to India to be married is
productive of so much good, that the pref
udice which, very naturally, exists against
it is to be regretted. Great numbers ofthe
young men who FIJI civil and military situa-
tons in the East India Company's Service,
not being provided with suitable compan-
ions, are frequently driven to the expedient
of taking to themselves native females, a
practice which is sometimes attended with
pernicious and unfortunate results. The
paucitv ofladies increases, if that be posi-
BILE. their value, and no event is held so i'm
oortant at Calcutta as the arrival of ship
from England The anxiety to ascertain
what ladies are on board supercedes every
other consideration change of Ministry,
the most important Parliamentary discus
sions, sink, said Mr.. B. into insignifcance
till this curiosity is satisfied. A newspaper
is published every morning, yet If ship ar
rive in the course of the day, the Editors,
aware of the impatience that exists for In
formation, do not wait till the next morning,
but Immediately publish what they call a
(" Gazette Extraordinary" containing, sole
w the intelligence that Is The Hon. Compa-
ny's ship Mary has just arrived sailed from
England on such day the following is
the list of passengers" sc. subjoning a
list of names, at the head of which, of course,
stand the ladies. On the next morning the
Course, or Hyde Park of Calcutta, presents
an unusually gay aspect, every one appears
to the best advantage, and many who may
not have visited the Course for months put
ting forth their attractive graces. The
next ball is also more brilliant and the at
tendance more numerous than usual.
Though the young men are extremely eau
tious in making advances, many letters are
received BY the ladies in the course of a
week. By curious custom, however, which
prevails in these cases, they are never dis
tressed by the necessity of giving direct
refusal. The understanding is, that if the
answer be written on Indian paper, the APP
p.icant knows that all his hopes, as far as
regards the lady he has addressed, are at an
end."-Buckinghdm's Lectures.
