cards Brick Machine.

This. triumph of mechanism was
placed on exhibition on Water Street
near the Mansion House, yesterday
by Messrs. Hopkins & Mooklar
and attracted quite crowd of specta-
tors. 1t is, indeed, piece of perfec
machinery. and as far as we were able
to judge. performed all that was
claimed for it. The. bricks are made
from the clay bank. with no prepare
ton except slight dampening, and
are solid, ,ooth and perfect. II
will pay thos who have not witnessed
the operation to visit the place to-day.
The opinion entertained of the ma
chine elsewhere may be inferred from
the following communication, which
was published few days since in the
Indianapolis Journal:
There are many of the opin on
that bricks cannot be made in any
way so well as by that good old
way" but why not? Why should
washing, sewing, reaping, and moving
be done by machinery. and not bricks
be made so? Why not? There can
be no reason; and the only doubt or
cause of doubt in the matter is that
of prejudice, which is almost always
unreasonable and wrong; and which,
in time, is destined to utter and com
plete rout. True, some of those who
have been engaged in making bricks
in the old way all their lives, and per-
haps witnessed one or two failures by
machinery, or more likely only heard
of them, may cling to the old way,
just as the rustic old lady prefers her
: big wheel " and single thread to the
spinning gin and its hundred threads;
or, as some of the Jews loved their
bondage, but the thinking, earnest,
pr0gress-loving, and the consumer,
will seek. fnd, and use something
better, will leave their bondage. or
take the hundred threads to one.
Already it is being done. In almost
every direction around us they are
running or erecting machinery for the
Manufacture of this most essential ar
ticle of building. In Cincinnati, Cow
ington. Chicago. Columbus, Louis
vile, and Fort Wayne. they have been
using machines of one or another
make, for a larger or shorter time.
And they find them success, SO
much so that nothing would induce
them to return to the old, dirty, splat-
tering, tedious, hard mould method.

night At saloon on Water Street, in the
locality generally denominated VIII sky

the Alice v. got up town and got on a

raised Ned, turned over the stove, drove
out the proprietor and took possession
Philip Klein got wind of the affair and
hurried to the scene, rushed recklessly INTO

whom he was about to shoot. when the
proprietor told him that this African was
trying to quiet the row. Philip Joined

Annusements.

NEW Turner'S HALL.-Fhere was an inn
meDse audience at the. New Turner's Hall
last night, to witness the extraordinary
performances of the Rollande Troupe. The
crowd in the streets to witness the daring
feats of John Denier. was almost innu-
merable, and the utmost enthusiasm pre-
vailed. Other duties prevented us from
witnessing any of the performance, but
those present agree that the feats last
night transcribed all former efforts. There
will be another grand performance to-
night, and all who delight in gymnastic
performance should avail themselves Of
this opportunity to witness the daring
feats of these extraordinary and really
unrivalled gymnasts. We hear it limited

the preliminary examination of Michael

boarding house Of Anthony Kelly, which
resulted in his acquittaI, a decision which
was generally approved by all who heard

Winters has been committed to answer.
