A new invention to proven the explosion OF
steam boilers, has recently been patented. 1t is
called Aliens Balance Boiler Feeder, or Supply
ing Water Gage, and is thus described
"The boiler, when empty, can be filled to any
required height, by showing in the piston so as to
bring one OF the apertures in connection with one
of the feed pipes, thus saving the labor required Tor
pumping up, after blowing of the boiler. The
exhaust steam is let into the reservoir, when Is
always charged with sufficient quantity OF boil
ing water to repenish the leveer, thereby saving
the fuel necessary Tor heating up the boiler. The
feeder will work the water from the reservoir INTO
the boiler, at any degree of temperature to which
water may be heated, consequently large amount
OF fuel will be saved by its use and besides, the
oftener water is evaporated and condensed, the
softer and purer it becomes and the easier steam is
generated from it, 1t will keep the water on a
level with the piston where it enters the boiler,
thus preventing the possibility of flow or col
lapse and explosion of the boiler from a lack oil
water, which in nine cases out of ten is the cause
of the terrible explosion OF steam boilers. Foam.
ing of the water in the boiler, will not prevent its
certain and faithful operation. No power is re
CURED to drive it, except to overcome small
| amount of friction, and any quantity OF pressure in
the boiler, will affect or prevent its easy motion
| and operation, The same machine will feed an,
| number of boilers in connection.

the steamer Empire State, which arrived here yes
terday, gives the following additional Information
in regard to the explosion Of the Oregon lie
says: "Having made particular inquiry among
those who were saved from the Oregon am sat

greater than was given in the teegraPh'c estimate
None but those who were able TO walk were got
off the wreck. There was time to search lot

on board will in all probability, never be ascer-
tanned.
"Tbe Oreeon's crew, all told numbered about
seventy five and the cabin passengers, sixty.

persons on board, was between one hundred ana

Free Navigation.

Within few years past the maritime nations
have overturned the systems by which for centuries
their commerce has been conducted. The dis
ordinations in favor of their tonnage have
been repealed, and each. competesswith the other,
Tor the carrying trade of the world 1t follows, as
matter of course, that the cheapest ships mnst,
in the end, monopolize the freights. Within the
last fifty years, great Improvements have been
made in the navigation of ships-the force OF the
ocean is better known. Masters are more highly
educated. The winds and currents--their direction
and causes--are better understood. In all these
particulars, the sailors of Northern Europe equal
those of America. The Swedish and Norwegian
sailors are unsurpassed for hardihood and endur-
ance 1t is the Morse blood infused into the Brit
ish nation, which made England at one time the
mistress of the sea. While the Northern sailors
are equal to ours in all the qualities which give
superiority, they excel us in the cheapness OF
heir ships and navigation The price of labor in
those countries is about one fourth of what it i,
here Their ships are built and sailed at price
l infinitely below ours. The discriminating dutie.
have heretofore kept the Mortimer from on
l shores. But the removal of that barrier ha
opened our ports to their kees, which are in thei
| turn, expelling the native ships.
The table extracted from Rio de Janeiro circu
| lar, is worthy Of attention:

1t is hardly necessary, we presume, to remind
our readers that Mr.. P I. Barnum is to lecture on
temperance this evening at the Lyceum Hall. We
have been assured by gentleman, who has often
listened to the lectures of this gentleman at the
North that he hos no superior, and but few equals
His STYLE is argumentative, historical and humor-
Gus. and he has never yet fatigued an audience
Father Mathew says he is beyond comparison the
best lecturer he ever heard. We hope, for the
sake Of the cause, that he will have full house.
