From the .Ntp YORK Kniekerbock,r.

We ran up by the Hudson river railroad cars
from Dobbs the other morning. as far as Sing.
Sing, to give certain little people" an opportu-
nifty of seeing the State. prison; and verify, we
were well repaid for the visit. We found Mr..
Robinson, the keeper, in the receiving.room OF
the institution" who himself very kindly ac-
companied US through every part of the prison,
giving us, without reserve, all information which
Il was proper to ask at his hands. We satisfied
ourselves Of one thing, even In the merely cur.
sorry examination which We were enabled, in a
necessarily hurried visit, to make; and that II,
that Mr.. Robinson, in the government of bis
subjects" rules them, not like despotic king,
but with that humane consideration, united with
a military firmness that is never doubted bu,
once, which insures at the same time respect and
obedience. We never saw The establishment in
better condition. The halls ard cells were
newly whitewashed and very clean; from one
end Of The prison to the other nothing was out
Of order. There "was place for every thing,
and every thing was in its place." We
were struck, by this state Of things, with the
thought, how desoate after all, is prison in it's
best estate Observe the stone floors Of those
narrow cells; how deeply they are worn by the
pacing 10 and fro Of the remorseful sef.accus-
ing, angry occupants, during the long and
gloomy hours irl~which they are shut up in 81.
lence and alonel Look in at the workshops,
and behold the dim rows Of striped criminals
plying their ceaseless labor, with no word spo-
ken by or to them; observe them as they come
pouring out of the workshops into the court
yard 10 go TO their meals band of miserable
brothers, whose locked and grating step falls so
harshly upon the ear look at the rude food
upon their trenchers; half of a coarse red onion,
piece of brown bread, and chunk" Of heavy
meat; see all these things, and then you will see
what Imprisonment is. So we said to the little
folk coming home and there withal the water
stood in Young Knick's eyes, and his little sis.
ters dropped tears fast as the Arabian trees
their medicinal gum" Curiosity had kept them
from much thought while they were seeing all
this. but reflection melted their young hearts.

The Great Invention Of the Agel--Steam Sap.
piantcdI Gas triumphant

TIME first half of the nineteenth century will be
u recorded as the age fSteam. II has passed,
and with il will pass the steam engine with the
things that were M
The second half of the century will be known
as commencing the age Of Gas--an agent destined
not only to light but to ENLIGHTEE the world.
This age has now commenced, and with it is now
introduced the Gas Engine
Professor John G.. F. Solomon, after twenty-six
years or close observation upon the experiments
OF his own and Of others in attempts to make the
principle Of the condensation of carbonic acid gas
available as mechanic motor, has perfected the
and Having just received letters patent for his
Improved Carbonic Acid Engine, now offers to
dispose of rights for the use 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
ofthis new motor, will inevitably insure its speedy
used, and in thousands of other places where the
great expense, bulk, and weight of the steam en-
CINE has precluded its use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propelng agent, rom 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 ofbulk and weight
100 tons weight suficing for the same power Of
| ] 300 tons the steam engine.
| These facts are established by the experimental
engine of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
"working well'' al Cincinnati, as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil of the
| 18th Instant
"We are pleased to state that J G. F. Solomon,
late Of this city, has received patent for his motor
Of carbonc acid gas, in its application to engine.
The successful experiments Of this invention were
not long since given in the Nonpareil. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the
| ing and propelling power"
| Also, rights for the use Of his "Improved Pro-
peling aud Steering Apparatus, one peculiar ad-
vantage ofwhch gives the pilot such complete con
troll ofthe vessel Independent of the engineer that
he can" right-about-face" man-of-war in less time
than is required to load her guns.

for military and common purposes, designed for

rider
! Any information in regard to the above invalu-
able inventions, and of obtaining rights, &c., may

Jhe Outrage on the Prometheus.

New York, Jan. l2.--The British Admiral
has ordered the brig of war Express from San
Juan to Kingston, in order to investigate the
commanders conduct in relation to firing into
the steamer Prometheus at San Juan.
The steamer Saranac, Commodore Parker, had
only justarryed at San Juan on the morning the
steamer Daniel Webster sailed, to demand an
explanation of the outrage on the Prometheus
and nothing had transpired as to the course he
intended to pursue. The greatest excitement
is, however, said to have prevailed, and the au
thorites were in great tribulation, fearing tina
he would take summary vengeance on them TO-
the act of their English friends.
