us was something entirely new. 1t occupied
a space of about yard in length aud foot
or more in breadth, aud is what we term 4
Cold Water Eogine. 1t was put in motion
by water from q piece Of hose attached to a
hydrant at the corner Of Main and Water
Streets, the water entering brass tube at
the top aud passing down into other cham
bers attached to the main receiver, aud
operating in manner unpercelVed, and
which we cannot describe. Il h-d a Ilston

hub 8 inches in diameter, tur ming with two
or three hundred revolutions 10 n minute,
and which such force rs to admit the arpllca-
ton of gouge for turning the hub. This
invention is designed to sapersede all other
applications OF cold water power and the
in ventor tMr. X ellis Hord) assures us that it
will give at least four times the power &C.
quired by the application OF the same guam
tity of water in any other way, and will
combine chespness with other advantages.
For mills on small streams Of water it Is
peculiarly adapted, if the inventor estimates
are correc. in regard to the extent Uf its

walked the length of a rope stretched from the
third stories of two buildings, across Great
St. james street and returned, in the pre-
sepce of thousands Of spectators. Alter eros
ing for the first time, he appeared somewhat
exhausted, but prepared to recroas. When
about two yards over the rope, he grew slight
" sgitated, and was about to make false
step; the crowd below were alarmed tor his
safety, but he preserved his balance with one y,
foot. and instantly recovering, threw himsell
upon rope where be remained stretched for
few minutes. With great agility be soon
regaiued his upright position; but instead
of going forwsrd he retreated slowly back
wards, and leaned against the wall. lie
then advanced. and without making false
step, reached the opposite window, amid the
%srmest plaudits Of the crowd.

The Union distrusts the telegraphic news
which announces the capitulation of the Nor
mons, and the establishment of peace in
Utah. 1t is not improbable, it says, that Mr..
Kane, who is but private person, having no
commission Of any sort from the government.
has succeeded, through his mysterious person
al relations with the Mormons, in inducing
that people to invite Governor Cummings to
Salt Like City, and to recognize mis- Official
authority ]; this be SO. and Governor Cum
mings has actually proceeded to the Mormon
city. some armistice or truce may hereafter
result from BIZ presence in the city; but it is
altogether improbable that the war has come
to the sudden and abrupt termination an.
nounced by the telegraph. These sdvicss,
through private channels, it must be rcmem-
bered, are unaccompsnied. as usual, by con.
current ad9ices through Official channels; for
no confirmation has been received Of them by
the government.
