The Great Invcntiep Of tho Age!-Stoan Sup
planted: Gas Triun plant!


vuvHE first half of the nineteenth century will be
Il recorded the age OfSteam. 1t has passed,
and with il 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--&n agent destined
not only to light but to EHIIcHrEH the world.
This age has now commenced, and with it ia now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John C.. F. Solomon, after twenty six
years 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 as mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and having received letters patent for his
Improved Carbonic Acid Engine, now offers to
dispose Of rights for the thereof to the u.
States government, and to individuals or to COM
panes, 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 new motor, will inevitably insure its speed
adoption IN all places where steam power Is no "
used, and in thousands of other places where the
great expense, bulk, and weight of the steam en-
glne has precuded its use.
This new motor may be appIiep all purposes
as propelling agent, from the siDgle-horse power
for the couon-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 hremen, and ofbulk and weight
l0l) tons weight suilicing for the same mower of
900 tons ofthe steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine Of twenty-five (,.5) horse power, now
working well" at Cincinnati, 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 its 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
INC and prouellInv pOWer ~
Also, rights for the use of his sImproved Pro-
peIling aud Steering Apparatus, - one peculiar adj
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll ofthe vessel, independent the engineer that
he can"right-about-ace man war in less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his "lmproved Spring Saddle, .
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort of both horse and
rider
Any information in regard to the above inyalu-
able Inventions, and of obtaining rights, &C., may
be promptly obtained by addressing

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE

Premiums to New Subscribers.

nWIN(s to the late revolutions and counter-revo-

followed each other in quick succession and OF which
the end is not yet," the leading periodicals OF Great
Britain have become invested with degree Of inter
est hitherto unknown They occupy middle
ground between the hasty, dsjointed and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the elabo-
rate and ponderous reatses be furnished by the his
toran at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. Tbs following is
their list, viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,

the Westminster Review " Liberal. The &C North

on with referense to the next Prudential election.
His object in addressing the Houeat such LENGTH.
he snid, was that he might bepnderstood with
reference to the great questions hat are agitatIng
the public mind and whoever fight be selected
as the candidate for the next Proficiency, he would
support that man who would delare that he holds
republican doctrines. For his art, he desired to
go back TO the early days Of til republic.
Mr. POLK here called thu gentleman from
North Carolina to order. He aid he did not per-
ceiye what the subjects he hid been discussing
had 70 do with the public printing.
Mr.. VENABLE here took his seat, and the
Speaker took the sense of the House, which was
IN favor Of his being allowed t{proceed.
Mr.. VENABLE continued When he was in
terrupted, he said he was obsving that the effect
of carrying out the resolution the form in which
II had been introduced, wond b. to create an inn
proper influence, that would be- thrown into the
scale of the next Presidential election. The pas
sage or the resolution would prevent all COMPETE
ton; and while it would be unfair as respects
other contractors, the effect would be to create an
agent that would materially regulate public senti-
ment. He said he was decidedly in favor of CIV
s r. e., f9ntract 70 tic WHO would perform II
prefer receiving bidders Tor the printing--the pa.
per to be furnished by thegovernment.
Mr.. GORMAN asked if the gentleman from
North Carolina thought he would pursue a,course
that would involve in its results species of cor
rupuoni
Mr VENABLE, in reply, said he did not be-
ieve he would do that which gentleman ought
not to do /; but the members of the committee
were not practical printers. He MIR. Y. was in
favor of the amendment proposed by the gentle
man from Maryland-to throw the contract oper
to competitors. He would ask what claim Don
aldson 81 Armstrong have more than any one else
to the printing Of the census report, that they
should have been selected blythe committee, and he
concluded by saying that he wanted the work
done at the best and cheapest rate.
Mr.. MAJORS, Of Mississippi, commenced il
reply to Mr.. VENABLE, but was called to order
the course he was pursuing being considered as
inapplicabe to the question at issue. He woulc
probably have been allowed to proceed, had no
