pecuniary damages sustained by him, has at
last, through the interposition Of our govern
ment, been allowed. Although DR.. King has
been paid far less than he was in equity enti-
tied to, it is a source of qualification to him and
his friends, that the difficulty is at length ad-
justed amicably by the payment to DR.. King,

BEAUMoNT's TYPE IsTRIBUTING MACHINE.
We yesterday witnessed the operation of this
machine, and after pretty thorough examina-
ton of its working, are convinced of it's practi-
cal utility in large printing establishments.
Each machine will distribute but one size Of
type; but the inventor informed us that they
may be SO constructed as to be easily adapted
to the different sizes of small type. If work
ed by hand, one man or boy can distribute
1000 ems per hour, and with scarcely pos
sibility of an error of single type; whereas,
by the usual process of hand distribution,
5000 ems are about the average The ma
chine can be worked by steam, and one man
can then attend TO three of them, making the
total distribution in one hour $4,000 ems.
