steam Pile Driver.

Messrs. Pond, Higham & Co., the
eIterprising Proprietors of the "Nulcan
Iron Works" in this city, have just COM
pleted machine for driving piles
which is to be sent TO liverpool, Ems
gland, from whence il was ordered by
company who have taken large con-
tracts on the great Russian Railroad.
This machine, which we saw in opera
ton on Tuesday last, is worked by
steam, and with half dozen hands to
manage it, is capable of performing the
work of two hundred men and twenty
of the old fashioned pile drivers. We
have not room 10 enter into minute
description of the manner in which it is
constructed, and must therefore be
content with saying, that it carries its
own locomotive, sets up the piles,
drives them, and cuts oil at proper
grade with circular saw, thus prepa-
ring the road to receive the rails as ii
progresses onward. 1t is a "yaukee
notion" which reflects great credit, on
the ingenuity and skill of the inventors
and manufacturers, by whom II has
been chrstened Brother Iohnalhan."
1t is most perfect in lis action, and with
out doubt, will entirely sUpcyoeje the
pile drivers heretofore used IA con
slructing railroads and docks in i.urope
as il has already, to considerable ex>
tent in this country Oneida y, \.

Canal Boat building.

This business is extensively carried
on at Rochester, n. Y. The Democrat
says: There are in this city in all eight
yards in which boat building is carried
on. In these there have been built
within a year, about one hundred and
fifteen boats-most of which are of the
frs, class, The average value may be
estimated at 1000 each, making an
aggregate of one hundred and eighty.
four thousand dollars. Add to tins the
sum paid for repairs upon old boats,
which. in some yards go as high as from
$4,000 to $4,000, and the sum total will
be more than 100000 In these diff
ierent yards there are employed more
than six hundred hands, --,-.s--v

steam Carriages.

The application Of steam power to
carriages for common roads, has for
some time been the subject of scientific
examination and of practical expert
ment in England. Several attempts
have been pronounced more or less sue
cessful, notices of which have been
transferred to our columns. In the late
British periodicals before US, we find
various accounts of new "steam
COACH" which is admitted 10 be very
perfect in design and workmanship.
1t has made trips from point within
the Regents Park, Lodon. to Totten>
ham. One day last month the coach
proceeded from the Park with full
load of scientific gentlemen TO the lat
ter place there it was turned round
with perfect facility by the conductor,
and it returned to the Park.
The distance traversed was between
eight and nine miles; it was traversed
in rather less than half an hour. The
road undulales considerably, and there
are some ascents; nevertheless the
speed UP hill was good, certainly twelve
miles an hour; on level ground it was
| fourteen; and on the descents sixteen
or eighteen miles. The carriage was
turned round with going at the rate of
ten miles an hour. The conductor had
perfect command of the carriage,
and caused it to pass between carriages
drawn by horses, cars, &c, with which
some portions of the road were crowd
ed, without coming in contact with any
of them, and with a facility of manage
ment that was surprising.
The part or division Of tbs vehicle
designed for passengers has four trans
verse seats, each of which accommo,
dates four persons; the boiler and ap-
paratus are behind the seats; the con>
ductor sits on the front seat and guides
it and governs its speed by sort ofhan-
die, which rises from the foot-board.
The appearance of the carriage and the
rapidity of its motion caused several
horses to shy, but no accident ensued.
There is no visible escape of steam, nor
is there any annoyance from smoke.
In England, where the roads are always
in perfect order, this species Of steam
coach might be introduced to advan|
tage. AS yet, there are few roads in
the country sufficiently smooth for the
purpose. The invention must be no.
ted, whether eXtensivcly " useful or not
among the scientific and mechanical
triumphs Of the day Phil. Nat. Gaz.

Serious Accident.

An ascident occurred yesterday
morning at the Rail Road Depot in
Pratt street, the consequences Of which
there is reason to apprehend, will re-
suit fatally to one of the persons invol-
we'd in ii. 1t appears that Mr.. JOHN
DouGHERTY, q contractor on the Baltl>
more and Ohio Rail road, and most
worthy man, was engaged in conver-
sation with General SIMON CAMERON,
Cashier of the Bank of Middletown Pa.
both gentlemen being in that part of
the depot which is near the eastern
outer gate. Before the car came out,
Gen. G.. remarked to Mr.. ID. that he
thought it was not safe to remain
where they were standing, but the lat
ter expressed his opinion SO confidently
that there was room for the cars to pass
out without injury to them, that they
continued their conversation without
changing their position. In few min
utes after one of the cars was drawn
out of the depot at slow rate, and the
two gentlemen were jammcd between
the car and the wall of the ticket office.
As the car advanced the space left for
their bodies was perhaps but little II a
ny exceeding six inches. Mr.. Dough-
erty, whose bodily frame is large and
stout, was shockingly ly crushed, his co..
lar bone and several of his ribs being
broken---the blood forced from his
chest into his head in manner fearful
TO behold, and his eyes literally started
from their sockets. General Came
ron's thin and spare frame enabled him
to escape with, we hope, no serious in
jury, although the pressure in the re-
glon of the lower part ofthe body was
very severe. Both gentlemen were
conveyed to Williams Eagle Hotel,
where physicians were procured, and
every possible attention that the hu-
manity, sympathy and kindness of the
various attendants could suggest was
freely afforded. General C.'s hurts dc
not indicate any serious injury, and we
hope that day or so of quiet will re-
store him to his wonted activity and
she bosm Of his family. Mr.. Dougher-
ty's case, we are panied TO add, is one
of a very serious character, so much
so that scarcely hope is entertained OF
his recovery. His department since
the unhappy occurrence has been calm
and perfectly self-possessed, although
evidently suffering intense bodily pain
His first expressed wish, after being
conveyed TO the hotel, was that cler.
gyman mi ght be sent for and the con
solations of religion administered to him
and later in the day he closed, by will
the arrangement of his worldly affairs
A messenger was also despatched tc
Pennsylvania, 10 apprise his family o
the accident Bait. American.

Accidents orr Railroads.

1t is ascertained from a late British
publication that the danger of loss of
life, on average railroad trips, about
to 100000"
"ln report of the Utica and Sche>
nectady railroad company 10 the Legis-
lature, it is stated that for the four years
and five months the company have been
in existence, they have carried over
their road 3S9,547 through passengers
and 33i, ,522 way passengers-(724, ,0S9
passengers ending 3lst December, 49,
400 II is not known that single life
has been lost during this period by the
railroad, on this important throughfare.
The Great Western railroad in En-
gland, during the last , or 8 months,
has ran 29,200,000 passengers, with
out any accident, fatal or otherwise, to
passenger from lis opening. The
Franklin Institute, after mentioning
four other roads states, "Thus added TO
our former hints from these five rail-
ways, only one of which is large pas
senger line, (3,365,000 miles,) without
one fatal accident, and only two slight
bruises fairly attributable to the rail>
ways for we repudiate all accidents
which the drunken or head-snong ways
of men violating order and rules, bring
upon themselves. The account there
fore, will stand thus about 256 ,600,>
600 of miles were run, and 100000
of persons carried, with only two fatal
accidents upon the railway system"
