Captain Reid was good sailor, a brave warrior

into Fayal BY British squadron. Is it to be sup

his only pfotection On the other hand, the
British were smartiag from a series Of daring
actions-the port belonged to weak nation, whose

BRIcK-MAKiNG MACHINES Great Improvement.
We called yesterday, and examined the models Of
two machines, recently invented and patented By
Mr.. John Booth, of Mobile, for making Bricks.
We understand from him that his machines have
been fully tested. and that their has more
than equaled his highest expectations. One Of
them is FOR making bricks Of tempered mortar. Il
is remarkably simple in its structure and, in point
of ebeapness, probably exceeds any thing ever yet
Invented, compared to the work it will perform and
the force required Its entire cost, it is said, will
not exceed one hundred and twenty dollars and,
with force of five bands and one horse, it is ca
pable Of tempering the mortar and turning out
10000 bricks per day, and, with double that force
may double the quantity.
The other machine is what the inventor calls q
Progressive Brick Power Press,' for making The
finest quality Of front bricks, either Of tempered
nntempered mortar. Ii is also an invention o
greaEs simplicity, and, we were assured by thu
patentee, can be built for two hundred dollars.
is capable Of making from 10000 t6200 600 bricks pc
day, according 10 the force employed. Neither o
these machines, we may remark, requires the use
Of sand, which fact certainly adds much 70 theil
value. We do not pretend to great excellence Of
Judgment about these matters, but, from careful
examination, we could see no reason why they
might not come fully upto the representations made
in regard 10 Them. If SO, they deserve TO rank
among the most wonderful inventions Of the day,
and should attract the immediate attention of all
persons engaged in the brick-making business.
Mr.. Booth remains in our city for few days, and
will be pleased 10 exhibit his models They may be
seen al the small office at the southwest corner Of
the new Custom house building.
