Works a visit while absent, must defer
any remarks until our return:
GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN STEAM En-.
GISEs-0ur readers cannot fail to see
the beautiful drawing of an Improved
Steam Engine, on the next page; we
would, however, in addition, invite par.
ticular attention to the exposition and
specifications contained in the adVer-
tisement IN reference thereto; taking II
for granted, that every one engaged in
the active business affairs of life is d.
rectly or indirectly, more or less, inter.
ested in any discovery promoting the
scientific and economical employment OF
steam.
The Improvement patented to the
"Chronometer" consists in the peculiar
l arrangement of the Cylinder in relation
to the valves, by which all valve-friction
is avoided; excentrics, and multiplied
ty of connections dispensed *ith-there-
by making the application of power di-
rect. 1t is claimed BY the proprietors,
that it will perform more labor than any
other engine of the same dimensions,
without liability to get out of repair, oc-
cupying much less space, and costing a
large per centum less than the ordinary
engine. a--.+
Messrs. CowLEs, SIcKLEs d Co., pro-
prietors of this great Improvement, re-
Gently opened an Office in the Spencer
House Building, foot of Broadway,
where miniature model ofthe "Ckrono-
nletor Steam Engine" is now in opera
ton; and another, Of six-horse power,
competent for saw-mll purposes, is on
exhibition. These compact and elegant
specimens of machinery have attracted
the earnest attention Of thousands, in
cluding the Oldest practical engine bull
ders, and the most distinguished engi-
neers, throughout this section of the
country; and never have the opinions of
so many good judges more unanimously
conceded, in unqualified commentator
of the merits and advantages OF any new
invention. Nor could this importantim-
provement, possessing such decided su-
periority-economy of money, time,
space, and power, have been brought
forward at more propitious time, both
for the proprietors of the Patent, and the
increasing wants of our rapidlydevelop-
ing country.
Approaching the value of their Pa
tent, and foreseeing the mighty reyolu-
ton it is destined to accomplish in ma
chinery, Messrs. CowLEs, SICKELs d
Co., have just completed arrangements
for the manufacture of their Chronome-
tor Steam Engine, on an immense and
magnificent scale. They have pur-
chased at a great bargain, the celebra-
ted properly heretofore known as the
"CoOington Locomotive Works." and
now STYLED the "United States Chrono-
meter Steam Engine Works." These
Works, even before their completion,
were pronounced by high authority, !
"the most perfect and comprehensive
establishment of the kind in the Great
West" They are situated on the Ken
tucky bank of the Ohio river, between
Philadelphia and Third streets. Coying-
ton, opposite the Western Row ferry,
and occupy an area of FIVE acres. The
buildings are all of stone, and construc-
ted in very substantial manner. They
six structures, each complete
in itself, viz: main factory, 4 stories
high, and 200 by As feet; an erection
shop, 2 stories high, and 90 feet square;
a blacksmith shop. 200 by as feet;
steam forge room, 100 by As feet, ad-
Joining the blacksmith shop; a boiler
factory, stories high, and 200 by 80
feet, connected with Che main building;
and foundry, 80 feet square. From
The number and dimensions of the bull
1ings here given, our readers will at {
once perceive the extensive character of
his new enterprise. In their interior,
The buildings are amply and elaborately
fitted up with tools, machines, ETC., of
.he most approved construction and
greatest capacity, for manufacturing ev-
cry description of machinery; and Mr..
D. H. FEGER, an accomplished engineer,
lnder whose superintendent the whole
we're erected and furnished, continues
member of the new Company now own
ng the property. When these Works
get into successful operation, as they {
ioon will, their turnings out must spec
lily gain them reputation which will
'ecome great source of wealth, as
veil as of just pride, not only to Ken r
ucky, the South, and the West, but to '
'ur widespread Union. --r
The principal partners in the proprie- {
orship of this Patent, are, we learn, I
Eastern capitalists; who, though posses f
ing in themselves eminent talent, en- :
erprise, and energy, lack that intimate E
nd general acquaintance with the peo- =
lie of this section, which is SO essential :
n element Of business prosperity. But,
hey have been most fortunate in obyia-
ing this only drawback, by assoeiating
nth themselves Mr.. w. HAIRY PEOPLES. G.
If all men in the West and South, heis b
ne of the most capable. from experience; b

,anners. and. To express ourself en- m
