“ On the 1 ith day of this raontli Mr. Rum
fey s fleam boat, With more than half her
loading (which was upwards of three tons)
and a number of people on board)' made a
progress of four miles in an hour against the
current of Potowmac river, by the' force of
fleam, without any external application what
soever, impelled by a machine that will not
cost more than twenty guine.js for »ten ton
boat, and that will riot consume more than
four bufliels of coals, or the equivalent in
wood, in tw-fclve hours. It is tfiottght, tbit
if some pipes of the machine had not been
ruptured by the freezing of water, which had •
been left if] them a night or two before, and
which ruptures were onlyfecured by rags tied
round them, that the boat’s way Would have
been at the rate of seven or eight miles an
hour. As this invention is equally applicable
to boats or (hips of all diriaenflons, to fmootb,
(hallow and rapid rivers, or the deeped and
roughest seas, freightage of all kind will be
reduced to one third of its present expence.
Mr. Rumfey has a machine (which I
have likewt e seen) by which he railes water
for grist or saw mills, watering of meadows,
or purport of agriculture, cheaper thin races
can be dug or darns made, and the water, af
ter performing its operation, to be returned
again into its firft reservoir. H* has likewise
made such improvements upon the ftrutture
of mills as to work grist mills with one-third
with „ n!T r nOVV * I< P' nded * saw mill,
with one twentieth, arid yet encreafe their
powers without fearing the innumerable acci
dent s attendant on the cumbersome parade of
rounds, logs and wheels, Which he has total

We have the pleasure to inform our readers*
that a new mode of applying/*** to machi
nery has deen discovered by Mefirs. Isaac
Briggs and William Longstreet, both of
Georgia, and that fangnine expectations are
formed of its utility. The ioventors have ob
: tainecl the exclusive privilege of using it fo£
14 years in this state and Georgia. We have
been favoured with the following defeription
viz. This engine is Co conftnifted that the
ft earn operates, alternately, at each end of
an honfontal cylinder, on a piston, which it
causes to vibrate both ways with equal force x
that this force is not checked by cooling the
cylinder, the unavoidable consequence of aa
mjethon of cold water, but that an alternate ,
condenfatmn, in the cylinder on each fide cf
the piston, is effeaed by means of metallic
pipes surrounded by cold water, so that there
is always a vacuum on one fide of the piston,
