INGENIOUS INvENTIoN.-At the Fair of
the Maryland Institute, last week. Mr..
Thomas j. Lovegrove exhibited a section
Of iron pipe cast upon the centrifugal prin-
ciple. invented by him, aud which is un.
doubtedly valuable invention. The ad-
vantage which this invention secures is
that pipe of any required thickness can
be made more rapidly and at an infinitely
less cost than by the ordinary process of
moulding in sand. The principle of the
invention is simply this:
A metallic mould is made and so arran-
ged as to be revolved rapidly in horri-
zantal position. In casting. the requisite
quantity of molten iron is poured into the
mould, the aperture closed and the
/, mould set rapidly in motion. Thus by
Centrifugal fOrce. the metal is sent to the
sides Of the mould. leaving the centre
free; in this way. the pipe is formed, the
motion being kePtup untilthe metal cooIs.
Pipes cast by this process, have been
found to be more than usually free from
imperfections, as the motion Of the metal
prevents the impure and grosses particles
from settling in one spot. as is the case in
the usual mode of casting. The inven-
tor deserves to be we'll rewarded for the
discovery which he has made.

TIE SgLF-MuvING CARRIAGE.-The
Paris correspondent of the Philadelphia
Bulletin, in letter says:
1.-TWO years ago | described for an
American paper. the selfmoving carriage
Of Mr.. Provost. Since that time Mr.
Provost has travelled in it over a great
part of France, visiting Tours. Saumns
Orleans, Chartre, HAVE. and other pla-
ces. He is now in Paris, on his way to
Bordeaux. He travels with ease to him
self; for the force is not muscular strength
applied TO the pedals or cranks. but the
weight of his person which puts in
movement the machinery on much the
same principle with the weight OF q
clock. On ordinary roads (they are mac
adamized in France, Mr.. Provost travel
from sixty to eighty miles per day. Th'
carriage is about six feet by three ant
the machinery not visible from the out

The HUNGARIANs AT New YoRK.-A
committee of the New York Common
Council on Tuesday morning waited on
the Hungarian exiles who arrived in
the U S. steamer Mississippi, and ex-
tended to them cordial welcome to the
American Republic. Some very happy
speeches were made on the OCCASION
The exiles were invited to New York as
guests of the city, and requested to stop
at the Irving House, at its expense. To
this they consented, and expressed their
most cordial thanks. They accordingly
proceeded in carriages, with the commit
tee, to the Irving House, which they
reached in time for dinner. 1t is expect

They are said to be without any means
of their own, aud the Herald says:
"It appears that most of them intend to
avail themselves of the amnesty and go
back to Hungary again. Col Perzcel will
probably remain here. He has got some
money saved, out Of the fire and smoke.
The others have scarcely any resources
of their own. They had only $4,000
