a BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF MECHAN-
IsM-Yesterday we dropped into the jewelry
store OF Mr.. j. C. Wallace, in LeC.aire Row,
to look at beautiful piece Of machinery,
manufactured by Mr.. Wallace, in the shape of
a clock. The clock is of the kind intended TO
tlace upon buildings for public use. and as a
piece of fine machinery. is a little ahead Of any
thing We have ever seen. Mr.. Wallace has
been at work upon this clock. off and on, for
eighteen months. He had to build all his ma
chinery for cutting the large and small wheels
for the clock, and for finishing them up. This
machinery is all admirably adapted for the
purpose, and is the original invention Of Mr.
Wallace, himself, he never having seen a thing
Of the kind before in his lfe The clock 10
built to run one month without winding up.
and by On ingenious contrjvance, 1t can be
wound up without in the least, disturbing its
regular motion. But it would be entirely
useless for us to attempt te give correct des-
cription Of the beautiful article, and we hope
all admirers of works of fine art will pay
Mr.. Wallaces establishment visit, and care
,,,..'ly examine this clock. He intends running
out Of his front window, into q
large hanging watch. with glass dials. and will
then keen a gas liz ~ burning oil sight.ro as to
enable passers by to tell the time at any
hour.
