NEW ERA IN STEAM POWER-Ihe New
NolL papers of The l4h inst con'ah an account oil an
experiment made in the sfean'ef Despatch WIN
an engine constructed by i'h'ncas Bennett on Il ne"

At hall past o'clock. the Despatch left pier

" Y 1imcriean.
Mr.. Bennett, the inventor Of this new and remark
able application al steam, perfectly assured OF its
success, aud We learn that Robert l.. Stevens, Esq OF
whom II has been sad that upon hun alone The man
tie oi fulion's genius has lalcn, has expressed
pnlon that the Importance othc principle will effect
an entire revolution III steam navigation. We cannot
here enter INTO minute description OF the principle
and will NJ pa sent remark only that the smoke and
ever, portion olihc fuel consumed, and that the
ain Is pumped liuiu without by means OF Two c,lin.

INTO the boiler. The extraordinary economy OF fuel
is the greatest Gcsidciatum acquired by Ecnnclt's
discovery, and seam SHIPS may thus cany AIRY Il.
