BRICK MAKING BY STEAM.-We
examined yesterday with much
carefulness a steam brick making
machine, which has been put up at
the Novelty Works, corner of De-
lord and New Levee, where it is on
exhibition. 1t consists of a revol-
wing plane, containing steel moulds,
which are filed from receiver of
common clay or batture earth, with
ont previous tempering or mixing.
The clay thus received is subject
ed to a pressure which may be made
equal to ten tons if desired, and
thus pressed, passes around to
where it is opened up to be borne
off. We counted sixty four brick
made in a minute, and they were
as well made as any we ever saw 7;
yet the clay was neither tempered
nor worked before it, went into the
machine. The brick were "haked"
up Immediately after being taken
from the machine. The saving in
labor may be imagined from the
fact that 10000 brick can be made
with eight men in ten hours. We
also saw some brick made by this
machine at Pittsburg and burnt.
They were uncOmmOnly smooth
and regular in edge, and thorough
" burnt, and could, with difficulty,
be broken, which is properly attrib
uted TO the heavy pressure. which
had given them solidity. The ma
chimes are made at Pittsburg at a
cost Of $500, and ibe right of use
for the State is now offered for sale
here. Il viii make a fortune for
sonebodv-N. Q. PicnVuns.

Thr Grrnl Enslcrn.

The following notice ol this grcn'
ship il quite interesting;
The mammoth steamship, "Grca'
Eastern arrived in New York on
the 9th inst, fourteen days from
Liverpool, From the account o.
her passage given by tho Now York
World, we Learn that she cNpcrien,
cod very heavy winds and seas and
on the 10th ult,, n hugo wave wash
ed away some twenty feet of the
bulwarIs on both sides Of the fore
part Of the ship, breaking the legs
Of seaman, who died the next day
which was the only death or acct
dent during the trip excepting that
of the killing Of two men and the
injurir Z OF some sixteen others by
the accident of'tho flying of her
capstan on her departure from Liv
crpool,
There was mob q single case oI
scasickncss on board during the
whole trip, notwithstanding the
roughncss of the weather.
The World says that two daily
papers were published by the pas,
sengcrs during the trip, one Of
which was called the Ocean Times
while the other was the Great
Eastern Daily Telegraph. These
journals had cable dispatches from
all parts of the world. A grand
billiard match was played between
some parties Of ladies' and gentle
men, in which the ladies were vic
torious. Besides these, games Of
cricket, football hurdle races, &c,
were among the amuscmcnts Of the
voyage.
The Great Eastern made one trip
previous to New York about seven
years ago when she was an extern
sive lion, and was fully and mi
nutcly described, Since that time
sho has been subjected TO many
trials and difficulties, but has be-
come memorable in connection with
the laying Of the great cable.
The World thus describes some of
the features other internal arrange
ments:
Commencing forward, we find a
very commodious smoking room,
with q bar at one end (called the
grand one,) there being a smaller
one similarly fitted up aft. A hair,
dressing room is connected with
this, and there is promenade deck
on the top, about 90 feet long and
% feet wide. The blacksmith shop
is now also on the deck, which is
a manifest and great Improvement.
Another improvement and one
worthy of notice and inspection, is
the mangling room. Here are two
tubs driven by the engine that
works the capstans, and are worked
by five men. There are also dry
ing rooms and airing room in which
the linen is hung up after it comes
from the mangles. The cabins are
all clean and comfortable looking
some holding as many as eight
persons, moro particularly for fam,
iIies-there are others in which
there are but two and three berths.
They can take $500 passengers.
and the mangling room is intended
to do the washing, etc, for 5000
persons. The dining-room is about
centre, or a little to ait, is gotten
mp very finely, and is capable Of
seating 900 persons at once.

The necessity of a law similar to
this is undoubted. But we should
always remember that the virtue Of
sanitary measures lie more in the
way they are executed than in their
exact provisions. For in all ofthcm,
there is wide latitude for the excr-
cirse Of official judgment, which may
be enforced for oppression or relaxed
for personal profit. We believe that
coroners and, generally, all health
officers should be physicians, By
physicians we do not mean those
who have parchment diplomas, but
physicians in whom the community
have sufficient confidence to trust
them with practice. To get these,
the salary must be made sufficiently
large, to induce gentlemen Of learn
ing, ability and probity to seek the
place. -GalreSton Bulletin.
