Petitions were presented by Messrs. WADE.

and BEaaIEN
Several reports were made from standing COM
mittees, among them one by Mr. FELcH, from the
Committee on Public Lands. authorizing the con-
struction Of railroads through the public lands IN
certain cases.
MIR. HAMLIN asked that the Committee on
Commerce be discharged from the consideration
of the petition for canal around the Sault St.

fact. concerning the loss Of the steamer Edith in
Mr.. .BORLAND gave notice of several bills
granting lands for certain railroads in Arkansas.
Mr.. UNDERWOOD gave notice Of bill grant
ing alternate sactions Of the public lands, &c for
the construction Of railroad from Louisville,
Ky., to St. Louis, Mo.
Ater some debate, three several resolutions
were passed, allowing clerk each TO the Com

TLooCfNG IN THE NAVY.
On motion Of Mr.. GWIN, the Senate resumed
the consideration Of the petition from certain cti-
zsns of the United States, in Pennsy ylvania, pray
ing, and urging, and pleading for the restoration
ofAoggng in the navy, and predicting, unless it
is done, we may look out for the most dsasterous
results. The petition was read. whereupon,
Mr.. MALLORY. took the floor, in answer to
Mr.. Srocxrox. and in opposition to his argu-
ments, and in favor of granting the prayer of the
petitioners, by the restoration Of the lash as an
indispensable punishment in the naval service,
and as an indispensable part Of its discipline. He
reviewed the speech of the Senator from New
Jersey, at considerable length, and contended that
it's premises were unsound, and it's conclusions
and opinions, without foundation---that they were
not justified neither by the past experience of the
navy, nor by the present Inconvenience of the
service, resulting from the abolition Of logging.

T,HE 6rst half of.hs nins.ssnth century viii b
Il recorded ~ The age of Steam. II has passed,
and with it will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half Of the century will be known
commencing the age Of Gas---an agent destined
not only to light but TO ENLisHrEN the world.
This age has now commenced, and with it is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John C.. +. Solomon, after twenty six
years Of close observation upon the experiments
Of his own aud of others in attempts to make the
principle Of the condensation Of carbonic acid gas
available as mechanic motor, has perfected tho
and having just received letters patent for his
"lmproved Carbonic Acid Eng inc, (" now offers to
dispose Of rights for the thereof to the u
States government, and to individuals or to COM
panies, the rights of States, counties, or Cities
The immense saving of money ard labor, and
Of human lives and suffering, secured by the use
Of this motor, will inevitably insure its speedy
adoption in all places where steam power Is now
used, and in thousands of other places where the
great expense, bulk, and weight of the steam en-
CINE has precluded it's use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propelling agent, from the single-horse power
for the cottOn-gin to the two thousand horse power
for ocean steamers with the expense less than that
required by the steam engine, of boilers and fur
| naces, fuel and fremen, and of bulk and weight
| 100 tons weight suffcing for the same power of
| ! 800 tons of the steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
"working wei" at Cincinnati, noticed in the
| following from the Cincinnati Nonpnreil Of the
| 18th instant
"We are pleased to state that j. c. F Salomon,
late Of this city, has received patent for his motor
carbonc acid gas, in its application to an engine.
The successful experiments Of this invention were
not long since given IN the Nonpareil. The same

The southern press., 1852-01-15

My DEAR Sir: have just received re;,Iy
to my note to Lord Pamerston, accompanied b,
Lord Grey's explanation of the despatch to which
| called his attention. am assured that he
never intended to sanction or suggest entering
into any arrangement with regard to slaves no,
first known TO and approved by the masters
and that so far from supposing that any Ameri-
can would, or could complain of the proposed
arrangement, it was believed the shareholders
would receive it with satisfaction, and join in
carrying it into effect.
1t appears that Lord Grey has been aware 70,
some time, that the West India Colonies are suf
fering for the want of an adequate supply of la.
Dor. A gentlemen from these colonies directed
his attention to the fact that there were in come
OF the slaveholding States, a large number of free
blacks, whom the whites would be glad to have
