A MOST IMPORTANT INVENTION. TIlO
annexed account of the invention >?' a
'new application of power to produce motion
of a most effective character, wi.l be
better understood and the value of the invention
more fully nppr ciated by ?dding
some inform itiou verbally given by Mr.
llaslaiii.
The motion is effected by the vibratiniT
I of a heavv pendulum, whi.h receives ?;s
impulse I'r m a modcrattTund contiuu ?ua
xertinn of buuian hfrce, and operates alternately
mi the pistons of the two cylinders,
which in their nmiiyn produce equally
imearh direction of tlie pendulum lite
hydrostie pressure by the e~e of water or
some equally incompressible fluid acting
upon coniin. d air.
ShouM the elfeet .product d by this invention
be such as is described and a: so
sofa!! an expense proportioned to the o- gni'udeof
the power he c.'.atiyes that ivi!I
l?e effected, the benefits thai will he c!. ri -11)
from the use of so valuable a discovery
will exceed even th<.- I ieli have resulted
from the use of steam.

Tin- inventor of this wonderful 1^-useful

sure hours on this important subjnet, .u.d
has n ?w the satisfaction of seeing his pi i?>
ittt?r 1 l?y having e?<nstrur.tad one of
twelve hotso power, which comes fol y up
i ? his trost s.maoiiie expectation?.
This machine he calls fortune's Hydrostatic
Propelling Machine?In its con.
strnclion it too simple to admit of mij
provemeut- and as no steam nor he.-t of-uny
, kind is used in its operation, there can ho
i no explosion, therefore in its use lite is
i safe,-and should anv part (peak, it is l?y
its simple construet^j.adinissabie of speedy
repair.
It is applicable to the plough,* and all
propelling purposes, an ! as such must Supercede
ilte use <>' -tea in.

We of the present aire,entered on a new
era when 'Fulton brought his extended
seheme.in the application of *tuam to ilso
propelling of boats on water, in v hirh
smoke an ! vapour supplied the place of
ca nvnss. The same n gc is now bringing*
forth another era in e. in ?re useful and extended
scale of operation in this discovery
of mv friend, who is a philosopher and
philanthropist in every sense of the ferms.
Although our profession has for several
years made us ultimately acquainted, visitin
? car h other, and conversing freely, for
mutual benefit in our profession?yet, true
philosopher like, he never ijitimamfl to me
that he was studying the sjlhjert, until gu ' is
way to Washington, he railed on rtui
and showed me the model, (vliich is now
in the Patent ftflicr.
