A PUBLIC MARKEr.-Mayor Kingsbury's

A PUBLIC MARKET.-Mayor Kingsbury's
Recommendation for the erection of public
market, made to the Board of Aldermen last
evening will, without doubt, be favorably re-
ceived by very large majority of the citizens
of Portland. We remember when the lot
spoken of was purchased, the immediate cree
Htion OF a market on it was seriously debated
lin certain quarters, and the proposition was
postponed in consideration of the large imme-
&diate outlay required to repair the streets and
fireplace the public buildings then just swept
away in the great fire. But the project has
snever been abandoned, and the want of CEN
&tral market is daily confessed by house-keep-
gers. On the score of public convenience we
2are behind every city of like importance in
SNew England, and we shall never be in a bet
ster situation to build than now, when labor
Sand materials are comparatively cheap May
sorl Kingsbury meets the strongest argument
against it, the expense-by statistical returns
from Quincy Market, Boston. And he might
Shave gone further, we have no doubt, and Civ
zen like information from the other markets

sLynn-owned ny corporation-all of which
have paid large returns over intarast- -ranairs
eand expenses. A permanent loan, such as
the Mayor suggests, can be readily negotiated,
we believe. The credit of Portland is equal
s.o that of any city in New England, and our
l ponds stand at the head ofthe list in the Bos
ton market. We are satisfied that the peo-
.ple will favor the proposition if the conditions
are as favorable as the Mayor represents them
to be; and we have no doubt of sufficient re-
turns to pay the interest and bonds as thew

Fit. however, for the convenience of those OF
Sour readers who may not happen to be &C.
Equanted with it, and who have found the
Sneed, in practice of a uniform rule, applying
to all cases. 10 find the speed of a driven
$wheel, when the namber OF teeth OF both
dwheels and the number of revolutions of the
Edriving-wheel are gwen: Multiply the mum.
! Der of teeth of the driving-wheel by the num-
3ber of its revolutions; divide its product by
Sthe number of teeth of the driven Wheel and
i the quotient will be the number of revolutions
Sof the driven wheel. For example: an90-cog
aspur-wheel on water wheel shaft making
SS5 revolutions per minute, and driving "a

sand the product is $500. Divide this product
3by "a, the number of cOgs in the pinion orl

'culating the speed of pulleys, the same rule isl
adopted, except that the diameter of theI
wheel or pulley is used in place of the num- /
Der of teeth. The speed of the driving
wheel being multiplied by its diameter, theI
product is divided by the diameter of theE

OF revolutions of the pulley; or if the same
