ItfrOJlTAST INVRNTION IN MAOHISKRV. Oar attention lias been called, by an article in one of the provincial newspa pars, tr? an important mechanical invon(ion. (<?r which a patent ins recently been granted to |vvo .Scotch gantderoSn, and which promises to oiled a greaf.er and more beneficial change in the working of machinery than has' taken nlace since toe brilliant discoveries of Watt. The two great drawbacks ??f tnc steam engine, besides the largo space it occupies, have been til * hulk and tin? consequent expense of tiie fuel which it requires?the latter preventing its application fo many pur. poses for which it would .otherwise have b<*en a most effective ag.^st, and the former impeding its locornolrve cnergv, and confining it. particularly, a* regards navigation, within comparativelvrnarrow limits. Any reduction in either of these respects is therebv obvious!v so much clear nr:nn Tim invention to which we allude promises to effect a prodigious saving in bo!h9 l?y diminishing the cxpondilure of fuel to somewhat loss than nine-fifth of what is now required foi an equal decree of power. It has already, we are informed, been put to;he lest by the contraction of an engine of about twenly horse'pow. er, which has for some time been driving all the machinery of an extensive foiorjdry, with no larger consump'ion than we have just mentioned, and with every pnm*. poet of a considerahiy greater reduction being effected bv gome slight changes in the details. Tire motive power mad js tlm common atmospheric air. And Another great advantage of the new- engine arises from a saving of space equal to what is usually occupied by the furmwe and boilers of a steam engine. If these tilings be so, it is impossible to calculate the results to which so important a discovery must load.?Chronicle. li van fiuiit.
