Inc surfing Observer mentions important I'M
provement in the steam engine The defects of the
atmospheric engine have long been ieli, from the
waste of steam admitted into the cylinder TO force
up the piston. As lis first enerance it necessarily
comes lIto immediate contact with the condensing
water, and was, In fact, condensed in the very ac If
expansion while, by the descent OF the piston what
remained was blown out through the cistern, and
hall OF the injection water lost besides. very sim.
pie and effectual method of remedying this has been
devised, which seems fitted very speedily TO take It's
place among the most valuable efforts OF skill, and
prove at once OF vast utility in many situations
where power combined win economy, IS desired.
From working model we have had the satisfaction
oil inspecting, we may simply state, that al the bot

MEMORY OF BURNs-A monument has just been

Mary in the West Church, Greenock. Previously
there was nothing TO mark the resting place of the
maid whose love inspired some of the most impas

The Paris Journals during the last month have
been almost exclusively occupied with fippant and
angry discussions on tie Barcelona affair. His Ma

The MAURlTIus This colony is in most unsats
factory state. Every body complains. Since the
emancipation of the slaves the coloniss have great
difficulty In obtaining laborers. Those who come
from India only engage for year, and their ex-
penses paid out and home. At the end of their
year most of them return to their country, taking
with them the money they have earned, and the
consequence is that the circulating medium is
gradually leaving the colony. 1t is at this moment
exceedingly scarce. OF the two hanks at Port
Louis one has been compelled to suspend payment
in specie, and the other, although perfectly solvent,
will perhaps be obliged to do the same if the gov
eminent does not come to It's aid with an advance
OF specie. Failures are OF frequent occurrence,
owing 10 this state of things. Six per cent is
charged for exchanging notes into cash, and if a
large sum were wanting, 1t could not be had

rendered himself much more popular with The Span
ish people, which had manifested itself many oc-
casions in manner very flaterng to him. II can
not be denied that his regency forms the strongest
and most conservative government that Spain has
possessed for more than half century.
