CoLD WAFER STEAM ENGINE.-It is known to
number of our citizens that a machine by this
is now on exhibition in our city. 1t has
day after day been visited by numbers of per
sons curious to see the principle by which boil
ELS in our steamboats, aud factories were said to
be set aside. Yesterday afternoon VIC were in
yed by the author of the invention to call and
examine his machine The engine will be in
operation this forenoon, at 10 o'clock, at which
hour all who desire may witness its curious
movements, by calling around on Water street.
next door above Edwards lax factory. we
briefly describe the inveutiOn.as it appeared and
was explained TO US. The steam is made by
injections of cold water into heated generators
of very peculiar construction, demonstrating
great amount of heated surface over which
the water is instantly thrown by the power Of
beat through the medium of heated charger,
attached to the generator, which is surrounded
by powerful fire. The same amount Of water
Is injected into the generators as is injected
into the ordinary boiler, and converted into
steam Instantly by heat, and used in the work
ing cylinder alone without any other place To
form its expansion, the generators being so
constructed rs to have no space for the existence
of steam; hence the steam so made must seek its
existence in the working cylinder by the moving
Of the piston out Of the cylinder. In this way
the same water as used in the ordinary engine
is made to generate exactly the same pow
er, and altogether averts the danger of cxplo-
>lons The manner of applying the water is
this: 1t is maintained in reservoir and is in.
jectel by its own specific gravity, and having
always the same power it is injected in equal
Quantities by means of two ingeniously con-
trived revolving valves
The model works well, and it seems as II ii
could not fail when tested on a larger scale. Ii
occupies less space, takes less fuel much LIGHT
er, aud much cheaper than the ordinary engine.
If this principle is correct it will prove most in
valuable. We hope that NIL our scientific men.
Will not fail to call.and sceslti to-day. The in
ventors name is E. D. TiPpett.

We do not refer to the mntage of the money
market, but to that other subject, the weather,
which unlike the motion to adjourn, is always
'sdebatable." TO the qualification of all good
citizens born below New Zealand, the intense cold
of the last few weeks has greatly moderated
The winter has brought US some severe weather,
the thermometer one morning standing stub
bornly at 400 below 0, and one man told us that
he saw the mercury at 470 below at an earlier
hour. We suppose that it would have been cold
er If the thermometers had been longer. But
Monday there came revolution, which modera-
ton of temperature lasted through yesterday,
and the snow melted on the South side of build
ings, for the first time in weeks. Now the
weather is most charming. 1t seems to be the ver-
dict of all, that, with the mercury at 100 to 250
above 0, which is about the average from Novem-
Der to March, Minnesota is one of the most de-
lightful countries in the whole habitable world.

SINGER's SEWING MACHINES. The immense
business done by this firm is at present attracting
general notice, not in this country but all the
countries of Europe. In their manufac.ory in
New York, they employ upwards of $50 hands,
and turn out over three hundred machines per
day. Their branch Offices are established in all
the principal cities of the United States, Canada
and the capitals Of Europe. Their machines are
found in nearly every large family who have
much sewing to do. We need not siy that many
worthless humbugs lately introduced, ,lIed cheap
machines are but catchpennies, and not to lie COM
pared to those whose reputation is we'll establish
ed. These machines sew much better than can be
sewed by hand they work with extraordinary
rapidty, doing in an hour the former labor of a
day. No large family should be without one
Ia'iors and seamstresses can become agents for
them on easy terms, from which handsome profit
may be realized.

!" Fact. for Consideration -


Such is the caption of an article in the Pioneer
aiming to prove false propositions from the his
torv Of the negro race in the United States and
the West India Islands. But nothing can be clear
or to any one who is not disposed to bolster up
the business of the >iavo-trader, than that the
immense increase nj the slave population in the
Southern S,atcs over that CT the blacks, is owing
10 several we'll understood facts which it would
do we'll for all slave driving politicians to ponder
LIST. That in consequence of the revolution OF
St. Domingo and the emancipation OF the slaves,
Jamaica, the 'pirates' of Charleston and other,
Southern harhors, carried heavy trade in their
very peculiar line of business-negro stealing and
selling. Hence the decrease of negroes in the
West Indies and the increase of Slaves at the
South.
I'd. That the Slave system in the Southern
States at present is very different affair from
what Slavery was under the English Government,
the Roman Empire or the Jewish Theocracy; that
in the Southern States, owing to the violations OF
the Constitution and Laws Of the United States
by piracy, and the robbery of free negroes and
mulattoes in the West Indies. the Slaves have in
trary, the free colored population shows an in
crease of fifteen times less per cent, doubtless
owing to the cvilizing influences of the age and
the colonization society, and much to man-steal :
ing under the sanctions Of the &c fugitive slave
act" and similar causes.
Sd. That the coored race increases nearly if
teen times faster in slavery in the South under
or xvh
from Africa, Cuba or from the free States, it
matters not. than when dependant upon their own
resources in state of freedom, is not denied,
and all this arises from very obvious causes.
No political economist will contend, that be-
, cause of the greater increase of a race kept in
barbarsm, it is therefore right or is the best
| condition of that race; by no means. But the
| fact is, the African, like the Caucasian, is the
more prolific the simpler and more natural the
mode of living, and vice rersa.
18th. Merging as the darker does into the light.
er shades of Southern population, it will not re-
quire many generations to obliterate oil caste
founded on color; hence unless the Sc clay-eater'
and sand hllers' are consigned to eternal servi'
tude by a stronger and sterner race, we see moi
/ how the doctrine founded upon superior fructi6
cation, will avail anything. 1t is time the whole
Press of the North west took right ground on THU
subject. We need no slavery advocates SWIVEL
! ling here. Let an untrammeled Press utter it
free.thoughts. Let the rights of Man as Man
civil and political, be the guarantee of Natior
! whose future career is fraught with all that il
great and glorious.
