c JOKING RAN *,

IVNH + subscribers have just taken out letters pa
l. tent for a new and beautiful cooking Range
to which they invite the attention of the public
This Range may be set in an ordinary fire
place; and by simple, though effecl,fal appara.
tus, the throat of the chimney may in an instant
of time, be opened or closed so that the heat in
summer and the fumes from cooking al all times
may escape through the chimney.
Wood or coal may be used, and the evil OF
smoking chimneys is completely remedied BY
its introduction.
This range is so constructed that II takes uT
but a small space, and yet II contains all the
Iqualit,es Of those which take up double The a
mount; and il being constructed as II is, the Boil
ers are brought IN close proximity with the fire,
and il consequently boils much sooner, and with
smaller amount Of fuel. than the old fashioned
Ranges or cook stoves. II contains five boilers
four of which may he converted into two, by Ia.
king out a cross piece, and thus will admit ol
two large boilers at the same time. 1t also con
tans an oven 70 inches wide by n deep, which
cannot be surpassed for bskng.
The subscribers have one Of their Ranges in
operation at their store, where the public are in.
vied TO call and examine it, and if they will
they musl al once discover its utility. They alsc
keep constantly on hand all kinds of Parlor, Of.

Il September Goth -
Commodore James Biddle, of the U. 8. line
of battle ship Columbus, and Special Com
missioner Of the United States to the Emperor
and Government of China, had an audience of
the King on Saturday, 10Th inst.
The Commodore arrived at the Palace ex-
actly at noon, accompanied by the United
States Commissioner, the u. 8. Consul, the
u. 8. Naval Store Keeper, and the officers
who formed the Commodore suite.
The United States Commissioner presented
the Commodore to the King as distinguished
officer of the American navy, well known to
the President of the United States, and Sc
lected to discharge the duties Of Special Com
missioner to the Emperor of China.
The Commodore then addressed His Majes-
ty to the following effect
II al have much pleasure in paying my official
respects to Your Majesty. Pursuant to Or
ders from the President Of the United States,
have visited China, Japan and your Islands.
II has afforded me great satisfaction on my ar
rival to find the diplomatic relations which
Your Majesty had suspended, resumed with
Mr.. Ten Eyck. In appointing the latter, who
enjoys and deserves to enjoy, the full conf
dence of the President, and who is Of the most
amiable character, the President has given the
most signal proof Of his respect for the King
and wish to cultivate the most amcable rela-
tons with these Islands. Having so done, it
will become Your Majesty in future 60 TO con.
duct those relations as to avoid any just cause
of offence, for if such should be given to Mr..
Ten Eyck, from the well.known moderation of
his character, the Government Of the United
States would be slow TO believe that he, and
not His Majesty's Government, were to blame.
But sincerely hope that no such supposed
casc will ever occur"
The King replied as follows:
"My sautations to you Commodore Bddle.
| am glad to see you as an officer ofthe Amer
lean Navy, distinguished by great services,
and by your high appointment as commission
or to the Emperor of China. am truly
grateful to the President of the Uuited States
for the renewal Of Diplomatic intercourse in
the person of Mr.. Ten Eyck. Since bis ar
rival he has given great satisfaction to my
Government. hope there will be no com
plants in future. II is my determination to do
all that can TO avoid them by doing what is
right"
The Commodore then presented to His Ma
jesty the following officers Lieut.. 8. Johnson,
Purser f. T. Dunn, Midshipman c. Harrison,
and Mr. Stevens, the u. 8. N. store keeper.
The IT, s. Consul, Joel Turrill, Esq, having
been presented before, came forward and offer
ed his respects to His Majesty.
The Commodore and his suite retired about
half past twelve.

PARLIAMENrARY MAcHINE.-The Trenton
News of Saturday has description of a ma
chine invented by Francis Karl Coffin, con.
vict for house robbing in the New Jersey State
Prison. The purpose of the machine is to take
the Yeas and Nays in Legislative bodies Mem
bers vote by pulling mob connected with the
machine, of which two are attached to the
desks, one for Yeas, one for Nays. The clerk
then turns a small crank, and certain figures
appear to him by which each mans vote is re-
ported, all in the space ofa minute with per-
feet accuracy. There is said to be no posi-
bility of it's getting out Of order in a million
times working. All that is now necessary is tc
invent machines for making speeches and
doing the voting and then the whole business
oflegisation may be conducted without delay
or mistake. If the same convenient arrange
ment could be applied to the Mexican War il
might save much money and many valuable
lives.

New COOKING RANGE.-lt will be
seen by reference to our advertising col
umns, that Messrs. Coggeshall & Bliss,
Of this place, have invented new Cook
ing Range, for which they have obtained
a Patent. The Improvements and ad-
vsntages of this Range over the nume-
fous Ranges now in use, are well describ-
ed in the advertisement, to which we call
the attention of the public.
We have had the pleasu re, with many
others, of witnessing the operation of the
specimen, which they have had set in a
fireplace IN their Store, and as mas been
generally expressed, do not see in what
manner any alteration could be made in
it for the better. The improvement in
the size of the oven (being larger than
in the ranges Of the largest size,) is a
most desirable one.-The consumption
Of fuel in this range being less than in
the ordinary size cooking stove,is another
desirable improvement, and cannot fail to
recommend it. Those engaged in the
culinary ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, and
owners of houses, would do we'll to call
and examine this important invention.
