From the United States Gazette. Stine-Ware Pipes for Conveying water. Pipes of Hone ware materials are but little known on thi3 continent (wood Wing fo'dieap) but are in general use in many parts of Europe, particularly in England, where the many advanta ges they poireE, render them more ge neral than any other kind. With care they are as durable as iron or lead, and “ are particuliarly valued for the cou veyance of spring-water to drink, for being glazed on the inside a* wrll as out, the mud will not Hick to them, and the water is better preserved and clearer than in any other pipes ; brfide*, it doe* not acquire that bad quality in palling through them which it doe* through lead, iron or wood for what ever 1* the quality of the water at the spring, it c-an bo depended on being e qually good, however far it may run, even in the hottetl weather—A pecu liar excellence ! No other fort of pipe can vie with them in keeping it cool. This laH advantage is a very conftdera ble one in a climate like that of Ame rica, especially in the summer season ; and their colt bears no coniparifon with the lead or iron. Pipes of this defeription are said to have been found in fcveral places about the city of London, which, by several circumllanceß, are supposed (by icienti lie men) to have been laid by the Ro mans, when they inhabited that Island ; such have been taken up at Hyde Park, belonging to the ancient water works there, and still perleftly found. “ Some years ago there wa* a trial of this fort of pipes (half an inch thick and four inches bore) made at the \ ork buildings before Dr. Defaguelter*, and the plumber* of the works themselves when being fairly tried with all the comprcfiSon of air and force that en gine could lay upon them, without do ing them the lealt injury.*’ A confider. able improvement has lately been made bv a manufafturer at Cbarlellon (on the Ohio) in the method of fiuilhing them. It principally coufifis in an ingenious machine for boring them completely true (an efiential requisite), as well as leaving thejr internal furtacc smooth, which qualifies them for and enables thern to receive an excellent glaxe which it prepared, 1 am allured, without a particle of lead ; and being fitted toge ther with a small quantity of cement, are rendered water tight. Some of hefe pipes arc cylendrical, feme lquare on the outlide, others ball fquarc and half round, others oftagon, with bores of any diameter, to suit the fancy or convenience of purchasers. Taking all things into conlideration, no fort of pipes can be pt in competi tion with them even in this country, lor wood has only one solitary advan tage, namely, the firtt coll being fome. thing lef* ; but when excellence and du rability are considered, as alio how much tweeter and cooler stone-ware is known to keep water (when on the con trary, almost every l.ort of wood gives it a difagreeabl* taste and color), this objeftion vinilhc*. Betides employing them for convey, ing water under ground, and various other purpofei, they are commonly used to carry it from the ruots and gutters ol houfe*, aud for this purpafe they are much to be preferred to wood, as expo sure to change* of weather doe* not ef fett them, whiift it Eton deftroy* the other.
