New Invention in Printing.

The New York Sun notices new inven-
tion for the manufacture of printing types,
which has been but partially tested. thus far :
The operation of improvement is as fol-
lows.
y set Of steel punches are made, correspon-
ding with the alpha5etic letters, figures and
points now in use. which, when struck on
copper, leave raised impression, instead of
miaglio or sunken-being exactly the reverse
of the P esent mode. Now, for instance, by
striking the punch S, upon smooth piece Of
copper, and then L, and then y, the word
sun Is produced upon the copper-plate in
relief, or raised, and impressions may be
printed therefrom.
A sheet Of Copper, one eighth of an inch
IN thickness and as wide, We Will say as one
Of our columns. and as long, is prepared with
its surfaces perfectly polished and fiat II is
introduced into a machine having a series of
keys answering To the alphabet, arranged
somewhat like piano. The machinery of
the instrument is so arranged, that by press
ing one of these keys, 4 letter of the alpha
bCt - plOt4uNt-Is Ia fCtlCts lFDiE HE copper
plate; and on the other key being pressed,
another letter produced adjoining the first let
ter and on true line with it, and so on, until
line Of letters extending across the breadth
of the copper plate, has been made. The
machine is arranged, that as one line of letters
is made, the copper plate is removed notch,
and another line follows. struck by the keys,
letter BY letter, as before, and so on, until a
whole column Of letters is produced, or until
the sheet of copper is, as it were, converted
into stereotype plate. ready for printing.
Another advantage of this invention is, that
much Of the cumbersome machinery for prin-
ting can be done away with, for the copper
stereotype can be bent, aad secured by cyin-
ders, and impressions taken therefron at
very rapid rate, with bat little expense. A
more full description cannot be made public
until the foreign patents are secured.
a thorough test Of one Of the machines will
be made as soon as it can be perfected, when
the prominent editors and printers will be in
vited TO be present.

the scientific character Of those gentlemen,
the care taken by them in the execution OF
their work, and from the synopsis presented,
am satisfied that their reports on those in
teresting regions will be among the most val
uable works of the kind ever presented. and
materially advance the cause of science in
these particulars.
Immediately after the passage of the act Of
Goth September last, granting the right of
way, and making grant of land to the States
of Illinois. Mississippi, and Alabama, in aid
of the construction of a railroad from Chica-
90 to Mobile instructions were sent to the
land officers Of the districts through which
that road will pass, directing them to reserve
from sale or entry of any kind and all the
lands within suitable distance on each side of
that road, until the grant is adjusted
This measure was adopted to prevent the
lands long the route from being located by
spectators, thus securing to the States the
benefits contemplated by the law, and pre-
serving for future disposal by the Government
the lands in the alternate sections along the
road. the minimum price of which was
doubled by that law.
Under the act Of 26th September. 1850, to
"reduce the minimum price of mineral lands
in the Lake Superior district, in Michigan
aud in the Chippewa district in Wisconsin, ,
trcts which have been surveyed will be
brought into market as early as practicable
next season, at the reduced minimum, ar
engagements having been made for that pur-
pose. Earlier action could not be had. for the
reason that the notice Of the sale requisite un-
der the law, before the lands can be offered
If given this fall, would have brought the
sales into the middle Of the winte-, when
bidders would have been prevented from at
tending in consequence Of the severity of the
winter.
The ordering of these lands into market
will of course finally close the employment Of
mineral agents in these regions.
The appropriations for surveying and mark
ing the northern boundary of Iowa and the
eastern boundary of Minnesota were made
too late in the season for the services to be
performed the past fail. All the necessary
instructions have been prepared, and the work
will be completed early next season.

BRrnGE.--The tubular iron bridge which
crosses the Menai Straits, is mighty til
umrh of human art, and does great credit to
the nation whose name it bears. But Yam
kee ingenuity, we think. is destined to eclipse
it, whenever sufficient financial courage can
be found, TO give an opportunity. Mr.. Am
mi White, a plain unlettered machinist OF
New Hampshire, has invented a construction
by which wood will give the strength of ironr
with vastly longer span. By his plan, a
railroad bridge may be thrown across the Nj
agara, or the Ohio, at Cincinnati, at single
leap. He can span 4 river 1000 to 1900 fee
in width, with towers less than 200 feet high
with all the safety and more than the strength
of iron Of far less span. a piece of wood
viii bear more, for its weight, before 1t pull:
apart, than iron will. Mr.. White takes ad-
vantage of this fact, and constructs stringers,
by splicing tim5ers in an ingenious manner
50 as to hang from tower to tower, in eaten
ary curve; to these stringers, or betweer
them, IS suspended a wooden tubular struc-
ture made of two thicknesses of boards, bolt
ed together transversely. keyed fast at both
ends This Tubular portion, or rather just tn
roof Of It. Will be strong enough to supper
the whole structure, aad with the st'ingers,
wiIl be strong enough not 70 be more affecte
by the passage of train, than a fiddle boy
would be. by the passage Of fly over it.
Mr. White has secured patent for his in
