ARREST OF Two FAST" FEMALEs.-O Officer
Benjamin Heath Of the Boston detective force
and officer George B. Coleman of this city, On
Friday evening arrested two females, named Ann
q. Barker and Louise Bachelor, on charge of
stealing clothing, jewelry, &c., to the value of
1866, belonging to Mrs Mary ]. S. Fuller of this
city. The larceny was committed in the latter
part of December last, during the absence of the
landlady. The house was nearly stripped of
wearable goods, including some furniture.
The women disappeared and went to Balti-
more, where they remained until recently, having
arrived in Boston on Wednesday, in the William
Jenkins They were arrested in Tammany Hall,
Travers street, where they were indulging in the
delights of the may dance. The officers very
kindly waited for the figure to close before ''tak-
ing partners" for the station house. They were
dressed in the full blossom of fashion.
Their trunks were found at a house opposite the
hall. On examining them at the station house,
to which all the party driven in a hack, the
trunks were found to contain quantities of supe-
rior clothing, daguerreotypes, letters, and the
sundry fnery which goes to make up the adorn

school, and have given the officers long chase
to get them.

PANR's CALoRIo ENeNE.-Some months ago
we alluded, in paragraph, to a model of new
caloris engine invented by Mr.. Henry NJ.
Paine of this city. which we had seen, the prin-
ciple involved in which, if found to work as we'll
when applied upon larger scale, the inventor
anticipated would work a revolution in the crea-
! ton of motive power, for the propulsion of ma
chinery, both upon land and sea.
Since that time, Mr.. Paine has been occupied
| in building two engines-one of one horse power,
and of six, the former of which is now in work.
ing, and the latter nearly completed, at the ma
chine shop of Messrs. Wood, Light, & Co., in
this city.
! Mr.. Paine claims that he has, In this engine,
accomplished what Ericsson in vain attempted,
that is, the production of motive force sufficient
place, much less than that of steam engine, OF
the same power, and which can be run at saving
of at least nine-tenths of the fuel.
We do not profess to be Judge in such mat
tiers but there is the engine at work in " God
Light, & Co.'s shop and those interested can see
its operation for themselves. As we saw it on
Saturday, it was apparently developing the pow
er of horse, from two cents worth of charcoal,
and the enterprising firm who have built it, under
Mr.. Paine's direction, expressed themselves we'll
satisfied with the results land as being in Of
their anticipations.
The engine has eight inch cylinder, and FIVE
inch stroke, and be at the rate of one hun
bred revolutions in a minute, at fifteen pounds
pressure, consuming, when run with gas as it
may be, only six feet per hour, and, with coal,
about four pounds per horse power each day.
The whole secret of the invention. and for
which Mr.. Paine has secured patent, not only in
this country but in several European countries,
consists in so treating given quantity of water
that it becomes absolutely saturated with mois-
ture, and, while in this condition, it is brought
10 contact with heated surfaces, causing it to ex-
pand many hundred times its bulk when it enters
"the generator" Within few days, since the
engine has been completed, its operations have
been witnessed by large number of practical
mechanics and scientific gentlemen, all of whom
we believe, without exception, have expressed
their belief that, in the new caloric engine, Mr..
P. has developed motive power of equal inten
sity with steam, and which will supersede the
use of the old fashioned steam engine altogether.
