Dr. SlLLMAN, SEN, delivered on Wednesday
evening, his second, or rather a continuation OF
his first lecture one Geology, which was devoted
to description Of the volcanoes Of the globe,
which he ran rapidly over, and which lie said,
operate as sort of satety-vaive by which gases
and excovin escape; the permanent closing of
which would cause an explosion, that would
shatter the outer crust of the globe to atoms,
and destroy all before it. He reserved the vol
canoes of the European continent, for Friday
evening. The lecture room was more crowded
than we remember to have seen it. Several

The Great Invention Of the Age!-Steam Sup
planted! Gas Triumphant!

piailtcG! GaS triumphant!
FHNHE first half of the nineteenth century will be
IL recorded as the age ofSteam. 1t has passed I,
and with it will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half of the century will be known
as commencing the age Of Gas--an agent destined
not only to light but to ENLIGHTEN the world.
This age has now commenced, and with it is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John C.. + Solomon, after twenty six
wears Of close observation upon the experiments
of his own and of others in attempts to make the
principle of the condensation of carbonc acid gas
available mechanic motor, has perfected the
same ;and having Just received letters patent for his
'sImproved Carbonic Acid Eng inc, i" now offers to
dispose Of rights for the use thereof to the u.
States government, and TO individuals or to COM
panies, the rght Of States, counties, or cities.
The immense saving OF money al d labor, and
of human lives and suffering, secured by the u. e
of this new motor, will inevitably insure its speedy
adoption in all places where steam power 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 rom the single-horse power
for the cotton-gin 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 " eight sui1icing for the same power of
] 900 tons OF the steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine Of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
"working well" at Cincinnati, as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil Of the
18th instant:
"We are pleased to state that J. c. f. Solomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
OF carbonic acid gas, in It's application to an engine.
The successful experiments of this invention were
not long since given in the Nonpareil. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the steer
ing and propeling power"
Also, rights for the use of his "lmproved Pro-
pelling aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar ad-
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll the vessel independent of the engineer that
he caG"rgh -about-face"a man-of-war IN less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also rights for his 'lmproved Spring Saddle, y
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort of both horse and
rider
Any information in regard to the above invalu-
able inventions, and Of obtaining rights, &c, may
be promptly obtained by addressing

AN UNFORTUNATE ELoPEMENT.-Some time
since gentleman, apparently, accompanied by
a hadsome young lady, came to New York from
New Jersey, and put up at the New Haven Ho-
tel as "Mr. Stewart and lady" After dinner thew
went out and were not seen again until evening"
No particular notice was taken of them until two
OF three days alter their arrival when the husband
seemed to neglect his wife almost entirely spen-
ding his time IN the barroom or elsewhere, and
allowing her to go to the table Alone One even
ing gentleman called at the house and enouired
tor the lady. Shortly afterward she made her ab-
pearanee, and upon entering the parlor confronted
her brother, Mr.. Campbell, residing in this
city. The interview between them was verv
brief He desired to know if she was married
to the man who was with her. She informed
him that she was, produced the certificate, da-
ed the day of their arrival, after which he left
the house. 1t appears that the parties were
from the stown of Whippany, Morris county,
New Jersey-the young lady being the daugli-
ter of Daniel IT, Campbell, worthy citizen
of that place and her husband John Stewart a
tailor by trade, who had only been there short
time. Stewart had succeeded in winning the al
tections of Miss Campbell, but meeting with OPP
position from her father, who forbade him COM
ing to the house, he persuaded her to leave home,
and to come with him to New DIRK, where they
were married.
About a week after their arrival inthe city Ste

father for the purpose of reconcing him. In tho

appointed, it was discovered that he had left for
parts unknown. In day or two nfterward she
returned home and was received by her father
short time since Stewart made his appearance,
but finding all his schemes frustrated, he designed
taking the lives of his wfe's parents. According
ly, on Monday last, he armed himself with a pair
of double-p pointed taior's shears, and entering tho
house at night, proceeded to the bedroom of Mr..
and Mrs c., and asked them if they had anything
against him. They replied NO. when he shook
hands with them and told them they were id
good looking couple, but had got to die; when he
drew forth his weapon. Mr.. and Mrs C. being
alarmed, sprang from the bed, when just at that

CHINESE IN CUBA.

We extract for the Times portion of the Ha-
vana correspondence of the New York Tribune
dated March 2Sth.
In regard to the prosperity of the island, much
complaint exists on account of the scarcity of Ia
borers, which prevents the extension of the cult
walton OF the sugar cane. To overcome this diff
Guilty, as the Supreme Government does its utmost
to prevent the smuggling in of African slaves and
as the mass of the inhabitants are averse to the
increase OF this class of mankind, a contract has
been entered into for the purpose of introducing
about 5000 Chinese, and Commissioner is about
to start for the Celestial Empire to engage them.
In 1647, about 600 were brought to the Island,
and although many OF this number were the mere
dregs of the population of Annoy, the result, upon
the whole, has proved favorable, as those who have
kept to their contracts show that the Chinese are
industrious, economical, and most excellent agri-
culturallsts. At first, much evil arose from the
overseers not being acquainted with the habits of
their new hands, but now they understand how to
manage them. everything goes well.
The Chinese, upon their arrival, quickly COM
pretended the difference between black and
white, and took up their position as whites; nor
has their right to do so been denied or disputed
for a single moment; but the overseer, who had
been accustomed only to direct slaves, had learn
how to treat free, achite abo,ers, and the Chinese
assisted them by few lessons, in which some
task-masters were slain, for their harsh treatment
OF the Celestial gentlemen.
From what have of this people, besides
being industrious and economical, they are ex-
tremey shrewd, and far more capable of pushing
their fortunes in strange lands, than any other
people with whom | am acquainted. They seem
to be ready for any employment and are never
at a loss to how to pick up an honest dollar
Several of those who have come to this island,
who have preferred light occupation rather than
the labors of the field, have, as DOCTORS cooks and
BARRIERS, amassed considerable sums; aud even
those who have been seduced by the temptation
offered by play, have shown themselves to be COM
plete adopts; fortune invariably, in the end, leav-
ing them with much of their antagonists funds,
much to the chagrin ofthe 5arbarians.
The object of importing the large number I
have mentioned, is, that these lucrative employ
ments may be speedily filled, and thus leave no
other resource for the than the occupation of
agriculture.
