steam, and was moved by its power.
A. ID. $40, Anthemius, an architect, arranged
several cauldrons of water, each covered with the
wide bottom of leathern tube, which rose to a
narrow top with pipes extended to the raers of the
adjoining building. A fire was kindled beneath
efforts of the steam ascending the tubes. This is
the first notice of the power of steam record

In 1543, June 18th, Blasco de Caroy tried q
steamboat of 209 tons with tolerable success at
Barcelona, Spain. 1t consisted of cauldron of
boiling water and movable wheel on each side
of the ship. 1t was laid aside as impracticable.
A present. however, was made to Caroy.

THE GREAT RUSSIAN RAuWAY.

The great railway from St Petersburg to Mos
COW, recently opened, is in nearly a straight line
and 400 miles in length. The-track is double, of
feet guage, and some of the bridges are elevated
above the water from lbs to LIS feet. The bridges
are of wood, on Howe's principle, and were built
by Mr.. X. o. Williams, Of Connectcut-Maior
Whistler, Of the Boston and Albany Railroad, went
to Russia in lS43 and was engineer of the work
until his death. Then Major Brown, of the New
York and Enc Railroad, became engineer in-chief,
and finished the Russian road. The entire cost Is
stated at S25,0OO,OO0 The locomotives have all
the stamp Of American genius.-They were built
by Harrison, Winans, and Eastwick, from draw
ings by Major Whistler, and are outside cylinder
reverse engines, and are intended for burning
wood. They are l62 in number, of which AZ are
for passengers and l20 for freight. The passenger
cars are built upon the American plan, and are So
feet long and 9 l-2 broad.
The two imperial carriages are very ma gni6cent
being "a feet long by 10 broad, and 10 feet
high, and supported on 16 wheels on the Bogic
principle. These carriages have spacious apart
ments, furnished for the Emperor and Empress
separately, in the most improved and luxurious
manner. They are fitted UP with beds, and a
kitchen car is attached, with larder, wine cellar,
ice house, &c. The road is to be run in fifteen
hours. 1t used to take the diligence seventy-fve
hours, and wagons eleven days with freight
make the trip in from ffty-6ve to sixty days, and
frozen up half the time at that. Nicholas has
caught good deal of the progressive spirit of the

END OF BEAUTIFUL WoMAN-The celebrated
Lady Hamilton was distinguished above almost
every other woman of her age, for personal beauty
Her accomplishments were scarcely inferior to her
beauty. She was skilled in music and painting;
she mad exquisite TASTE and her features would ex-
press every emotion by turns.
The only occasion on which Beckford, of Font
hill Abbey, threw open his splendid mansion to
company, was when Lady Hamilton, along with
Lord Nelson, visited it. All that the wealth of the
princely owner could furnish, was provided to give
splendor to the scene. The grounds were illumi-
mated by lamps and torches, and the interior of the
apartments was blaze of jewelry and gold and
silver. Speed wine, and confectionery in golden
baskets, were handed round to the company. A
numerous party was assembled, and Lady Hamil-
ton shone the envy of them all. Attired in a rich
costume, she entered with golden urn in her
hands, and recited some verses, which the compa-
ny was far too polite not rapturously to applaud,
spoken as they were by one who had such lnt1u-
ence over the hero of the hour. No one was there
to tell her that all this was deception; that sin
surely carried its own punishment with 1t, and
that the pleasure she was pursuing was vain sha
dow!
Thirteen years after the banquet at Fonthill had
taken place, lady buying some meat for her dog,
at butchers stall in Calais, was thus accosted by
the butchers wife:
"Ah madam you seem benevolent lady, and
up stairs there is a poor English woman, who
would be glad of the smallest piece of meat which
you are buying for your dog"
! Who then was the grateful recipient OF such
humble aims! Alas! it was the beautiful Lady
Hamilton! After the death of Lord Nelson, desert
ed by those who fawned upon her in prosperity, she
gradually became impoverished, and died in
wretched lodging at Calais. Her property consist
ed only of a few pawnbroker's duplicates. Her
body was put into a common deal box, without any
inscription; and over the praised of statesmen,
warriors poets and artists the funeral service was
read by an officer. Such was the end of the beau
tiful Lady Hamilton.
