REVIVAL OF TRADE.-Are we to
have any fall trade is question which has
often been asked, and regarding which we
fear some Sol ious doubts have been enter
tanned among our merchants. This question
is being answered affirmatively every day,
and in such positive manner as to leave
no doubt whatever upon the minds of the
public that the revival in commerce in our
city is already going forward in the most
pleasing and satisfactory manner. 1t is
true that money does not circulate quite as
freely as could be wished, but this il to be
accounted for in the fact that the larger
amount of funds is used in the grain trade
and for which returns have not yet been
made in such quantities as to be materially
felt. One consolation is ours, and that is,
what money the people do come into pos
session of is money and will purchase ex-
change at the usual rates.
We are informed that the grain receipts
are constantly increasing. and that the wheat
particularly, is of better quality than that
first brought into market.
Our merchants are constantly receiving
large amounts of goods, and their sales Of
the same are daily improving, Orders for
goods from the country are multiplying, and
our merchants are looking for a good job
bing business. which they are abundantly
able to supply. In this particular we would
speak TO country dealers. and say that the
opportunities for purchasing goods Of all
kinds are better in this city than at any
other point in the west-all things con-
sidered.

AN IMPORTANT IMPRovEMENT.-Itis is
said that wonders never cease, and it is
equally true that new inventions in the va
rious branches of Mechanics are daily null
tiplying, and inventors are constantly urg-
ing their claims upon the attention of the
public. This is as it should be. American
skill and ingenuity constitute largh share
of the glory of our country. In this article
we would call the especial attention Of mill
man and machinist to a late invention
whereby large amount of machinery may
be propelled by email outlay or cost by
the use of Van Dewaters recently imorov-
ed Jonval Turbine Water Wheel, an invsn-
ton which is now taking precedence of all
others where water is the motive power
We need not enter into full description Of
this improvement, but state some of its
great advantages:
1st. Such is its construction that with .
small amount Of water, large amount Of
power is obtained. I'd. It is 90 constructed
that when put in operation. no water is
wasted; hence, accurate calculations Of its
power can be made, and no more water
need be used ct time than is actually &C.
essary. 3D. It requires less room. and is
not affected by back water, which 10 ssri-
ous objection to other wheels, and puts
owners to vast amout Of trouble by vex-
atious delays 4th very little gearing isre-
quired TO produce high motion ct working
point. 9Th. 1t is almost invarisble in mo-
tion. whether performing more or less labor.
These, and many other good qualities. It
possesses over ether water wheels, ct once
entities it to the consideration of al ma
chinists, mill and factory men in the United
States, who use water power.
Numerous testimonials Of its high merit
have been given unsolicited, from al who
have adopted its use, and We most cordial
ly recommend it 70 the consideration Of all
manufacturers Of this section Of country.
By IN advertisement in another column,
it will be seen that q. J. McDougall, Esq.
agent for this celebrated wheel, has estab-
lished an office at Chicago, which place be
intends making the head quarters for the
introduction and supply Of this important
and valuable invention.

The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1858-02-06
Things in Norfolk.
OF THE RICHMOND DAILY DISPATCH.

NORFOLK, February 4th, 1858.
The handsome and comfortable sdnctum of our
"city fathers " was lighted up last evening, and
at the usual hour that body had congregated to
the moment the body was seated, that they to a
man had dined well and hearty, and under the in
fuence of the social feelings generated by having
their taldermanic corporations with goOdly Tea
pom lined" felt kindly towards their constituents,
and were prepared to consult the interest of the
mass. From the moment that we made this dis
covery We felt satisfied that the New Bill was Dead
and after much discussion, pro and con, it was re-
solved that Ii is iDexpedlent to alter the present
tax bill at this time"
The Council while In this economical mood ap
rointed a committee to enquire into the practica-
biity of " curtailing the city expenses without
detriment TO her interest,"" and after some little
business of less Importance, adjourned
To say that this move on the part OF the council
will not give satisfaction TO our people, would be
giving utterance to error, nor will they be the
less pleased to the expenses of the city lesson
ed as we feel they will, for this council after hav
ing been in office nearly year, have at last gone
to work with determination to do something for
our almost bankrupt city, and We venture the as
sertion that il will be made manifest in few
weeks by the continued increase in value of our
city scrip.
1t is in this same building that Mayor Ferguson
holds his levees, but as we stated IN our last. he
