WASHINGTON AFFAIRS.

1t is understood that the nomination of Sena-
tor Badger for the Supreme Judgeshp will come
up to- morrow, in Executive Session, and his
friends have hopes of his confirmation. A mem-
Der of Congress, it is said, has received des-
patches from Mobile stating that the Press and
Bar of that city dsapprove strongly of the ap-
pointment.

Pierce's private secretary isstill here making ar
rangements preparatory to the Presidents remo-

Mr.. King is somewhat better to day, The
courteous treatment he has received at the hands
of the Senate has revived him.

of a caloric ship. Starting. stopping, backing,

without any particular conditions, so essential in
working the engines of the ocean steamers. The
arrangement of the caloric ship being such that
the required air for the engines-from 50 to 20
tons weight per hour-has to pass through the
first rooms before entering the supply cylinders,
1t has been found in the Ericsson that the tenn
perature is actually too low for the comfort of
the fireman.
As an engineering achievement. the machinery
of the Ericsson is very far ahead of any thing
adoat. The engineer who beholds four open cy-
finders, each of les inches in diameter, with their
pistons Of upwards of twenty-five thousand SUI
perfeial inches area, moving up and down in
sight, through space of six feet, can best appre-
eiate the greatness of the achievement. To the
ordinary observer, the movement of the whole
machinery is wonderful And we cannot but
feel extremely gratified that the caloric principle
was introduced to the world on scale so COM
mensurate with its Importance, and that our me-
tropolis has the honor of initiating it.

having been just compelled to quit the army On

tended rather to increase the severity of his

New HAMPsHIRE-The winding up of tn O
session of the New Hampshire Legislature was
at tie nded with much interest and excitement.-
When the Senate resolution concerning the
religious test in the constitution came up in the
House
Mr.. Preston of New Ipswich, moved to strike
out of the resolution the words ''discreditable to
our State and people," as that expression refec-
ted discredit on the trainers of the constitutions
or those of our citizens who opposed the reno
val of the religious test from the constitution.
The amedment caused much debate, and was
carried-122 to 80; aud the resolution was passed
-209to 90.
An appropriation of $1,000 was voted for a
monument to Mesheck Weare.
The tough bill of the session, the act to unite
the Concord and Caremont aud New Hampshire
Central Railroads survived all attacks, and
passed in the House without anne ndment, by 146
to ll3.
The bill to form the State anew into Senate
rial districts drew out much spirited debate. 1t
eventually passed, however, by ia to 55-Bos-

RoBBERY.-A robbery is said to have been com
mitted one day last week. the Staunton and
Winchester Turnpike, about two miles below Mt
Sidney, which for daring exceeds any thing we
have heard of recently. A man-wtose name
we have not learned-whist travelling on foot to
this place, was accosted by two rufians, apparently
for the purpose of having little chat, and whilst
talking with them third person, approaching
him from behind threw rope over his shoulders
and immediately applied sponge saturated with
chloroform to his mouth, which rendered him in
sensible; after which he was robbed of seventy or
eighty dollars, and watch, and stripped of his
clothes. He was found some time after in a per-
feet state OF nudity and almost dead wi tn cold

Water TerSuS dir.


The Baltimore Sun, after referring to the ca
loric ship experiment, says:
With all this in prospect, agre cable as it is, we
must wait upon experience. 1t is maintained,
upon scientific principles, that steam will yet vim
dictate its superiority, at all the expenditure Of
fuel, and life. and limb, that have hitherto atten-
ded its progress. 1t is the expansive property
of water against the "regenerator' of the caoric
engine. Water with capacity of expansion to
1928 times its own bulk, Mt ol2 degrees of heat,
against air, capable of doubling its volume only at
49l degrees. The skill which has adapted ma
chinery as to equalize these sources of power and
thus to overcome all the danger of the one. and
to secure all the advantages Of the other, is
triumph indeed.

The CXfoRIc SHIP of Captain Ericsson who,
| by the bye is Swede by birth-has fully realised
the anticipations of the most sanguine. In the
second experimental trip, the ponderous hulk
was put in motion, under pressure of twelve
pounds to the square inch, and maintained speed
judged to exceed eight miles per hour, against
wind and tide, the wheels making ten and a
quarter turns per minute. A large company was
on board the ship--among them many scientific
gentlemen--and upon returning to New York
they organized and passed several resolutions,
two of which we here insert:
Resolved Tha, upon thorough examination and ACTIN
al observation entirely convinced that the inven
ton of Captain Ericsson is no longer Of questionable
praccaby but from this day TAX rank with the FORE
Of the gre and useful inventions which the world

Of commerce. and the industrial progress of the world.
Resolved That fromts economy. safety and re sdy ap

piness of mankind.
Throughout the entire trip the engine worked
with the utmost precision, producing neither
irreguarity in speed nor Earring The expert
ment having fully demonstrated the superiority
of the caloric over the steam engine, the latter,
we imagine, is speedily destined to become an
obsolete idea.

Ericssons invention. The reader will of course
give it a calm perusal, because he naturally feels
"a deep interest in the history of an agent which
gives to mankind ths highest power claimed for
steam, unattended with the risk 10 human life
which has seemed inseparable from the use Of
the latter motor.
