 NEW ENGINE OF DEArd-Mr. McKartey,
 of ihe Brooklyn, N. '. Navy Yard, has in-
 vented d new species of artillery, which will
 dlseharee thirty balls Ill minute, or one in
 every two seconds, fear hour together ,in
 succession, aud this by mechanical power
 alone, without gun powder, chemical sub
 stance, or any other preparation. !t is enec-
 ted by merely putting the balls into a hopper
 and letting the ordinance throw them out with immense momentum, at the rate of one
 every two seconds. On one occasion, Mir. Mckmtey exhibited tic operation of this iil-
 venlon in the Navy Yard before number
 ol naval officers, who were all astonshed by i the force and power exhibited, is well as by ] the great simplicity of the maehine.-From
 twelve to twealy pieces of solid timber were
 united together, iofmIn. one compact body. 1 Against this place of wooden breastwork MT.
 Mckartey opened the battery of ordinance,
 and in less than ten lsinutes. the whele solid
 breaswork was utterly demolished and shv-
 cred to spnters, by the powerful and rapid l incession of discharges upon ii.
 The simplicity oG his invention is one of
 its singular features The secret of it is
 known and recorded in history from the time
 when David went forth with sling and stone
 to combat the proud Goliah. The principal
 of this new invention is simply modiiica-
 tion of the principle of the sling, applied to machinery, in connection with a tube or gun, throwing out d discharge Of balls-The
 machine is so constructed that on putting in
 at one end tho balls 10 be discharged, . TO- tary motion k produced by means ol a crank,
 and by few rapid revolutions, each ball re-
 eeiy,s a force and momentum equal to that
 communicated by any quantity of gun-pow-
 der When this has been done, a slide starts
 and allows each bali 10 escape in succession
 from the chamber into the table, when they
 arc thrown to almost any distance; and with
 unerring aim.
