The Millennium of Steam.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Inquirer describes the Sibbald boiler, q
new invention, in terms that would in.
dicate that we are about approaching
the millennium Of steam. He says:
''lt can be put in onesixth Of the
space Of the cylindrical boiler, and be-.
ing so much condensed, will cost about
one half the price. Every part is acces.
sible to be cleaned, that it may be kept
in order at all times, and may be bfaced
and stayed to bear any pressure desired,
or if any repairs are necessary, they can
be made very readily. Its extraordina.
ry heating surface, and the arrangement
Of the fire chamber to produce the re.
quired effect. as we'll as the reverbera.
ting draft, could only be brought about
by intense thought and research, with a
determination Of will not to be driven
from its purpose.
The saving Of coal in few weeks
will pay for new boilers. A new era is
here presented to the world. Steamships
may go to India direct, and traverse the
ocean with one third the coal now con.
sumsd. 1t will be no longer necessary
to bury the ship in water with fuel-,he
sailing ship may take an auxiliary en-.
gine and boiler, to force her through calm
latitudes, to propel her at any time with
few tons Of coal-the locomotive may
save hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
per annum-the sugar planter may boil
his sugar by steam, and not waste his
crop for fuel--the manufacturer who
uses 10000 tons of coal may make his
profits OF two thirds saved, or $4,000
to $50, 900 per annum, the horse may be
relieved from the toll o. the canal boat.
Every mechanical pursuit may be put
in the smallest rooms, even up stairs, in
space Of sbout four feet area--.he far
mer may grind his own grain, and saw
his own timber, with but half ton OF
coal per week.

Misrovernment in Spain.

Spain has been substantially without
foreign war for half century. The ex.
penses Of civil and foreign war have both
been converted into debt substantially
repudiated. Her colonies give her mon.
ey, and would give her more, if she
should part with them, or allow them in.
dependence.
Two recent measures show the extrem.
ity Of her degradation. A forced loan
OF 100000, 900 reals has been decreed ;
and the church property con6scated.-
No wonder the people rebel, and tha!
the provinces are declared in state Of
siege They should rebel.
The forced loan is TO anticipate taxes,
eonfscation Of church property is not for
the defence Of country, or the institution
of education; but mere act Of raplne
to feed licentious nobility. proAisate
body Of patizans.
In this country, church property is ex.
enlpt from ordinary contributions for the
support Of government the idea Of seiz.
ing and selling it for state uses would
once have been looked on with horror

people in South Carolina and This State
justify he Missouri conspirators on the
ground that if the North has the right
TO raise money to stimulate free emigra.

The wheat crop, which has just been
gathered in this State, is said 10 be the
largest ever grown; and the corn and
cotton here, and also in Alabama and
Mississippi, are considered vastly better
than they ever were before; aud notwith.
standing the drouth destroyed a great
deal Of cotton early in the seuson, and
the ground was plowsd for corn, many
planters tell me that they believe the
crop will be very large one.
The heavy rains which SO recently

not reach this part Of this State, and
the ground is very dry and the streams
low. The weather is also very hot.

A Genuine Reform.

We have before us copy Of the TYPE
OF THE TINES, published in Cincinnati,
Ohio, by Longley Brothers, firm Of FIVE
young men Of energy, who are engaged,
in promoting the Phonetic or Spelling
Reform, by the publication Of Books
and Periodicals in tho reformed and
scientific orthography. The "Type Of
the Times" is mammoth sheet, Of good
paper, we'll printed, and made up into
sixteen four.column pages, convenient
alike for reading and preservation. A
limited portion Of it is printed with the
new Alphabet. which any ono can read
after a few minutes observation but
the body Of the paper is filled with
judiciously prepared matter, in the com.
mon spelling, for the patronage Of the
reading public. .e
BY the list Of Phonetic Books adver.
tised in the "Type," we judge the Spell.
ing Reform is making permanent pro.
gress. Besides series Of Phonotypic
School Readers, and instruction books
for the study Of Phonetic Shorthand,
we observe the New Testament. Bio.
graphies Of the Presidents Of the United
States, and their portraits, an Essay on
Money Getting and Money Spending,
&c. There is also in course of pub.
lication large Phonetic Dictionary, to
be ready by September next.
The merit Of the system consists in
having a distinct letter for each sound
by the same letter. ai1 ae
All that is necessary in learning to
read, therefore, is to learn the characters,
