On J'uesday se'nnight one of Treve- y i se fhiek'ssteym-^ngtueswas.set to worlt on the collierv of Ale-Mulder lluby, Ksq. at i.iaueily. The siuipii- city of, thi, new jsystem. af N"r in,, by. steam, seeins to possess considerable advantage over any other bclore witnessed; on which account we are induced to describe its-pfirieiple, as far as we are able, lor tjae better intbrmatioil of those interested in machinery of the like description, but have not firi immediate opportunity of inspecting its, opera- .tion. The base on which it stands dves not ex- ceed 14 leet bv 12 the baiter is about 5 feet long by 4 in diameter, li.tving its fire-place within, aboutlwothinls from the: top, which teriiiinatc, with a. chinmey made of plate-iron, so that no. masonry or ssa y; on the -'till top of :the boiter, SL .cyhnder of 3 I-eet in length a.nd 7 inches in dialCtetcr is fixed in a horizontil position, containing 3, prstoii a A which, is alternately acted upon by the pressure of the steani ti-Otn the boiler; which .latter rs ••instantly." discharged on performing its operation, which it does with a velocity of sixteen tJ twenty .strokes in a minute, and may be reduced with ease to the slowest possible motion: the pistoii rod is coti- liected with a^raiik,ahtf its maia- tainedhy the action of a f!5r wheel.' The power.o c this engine is computed to that of four" hoists, r, a'- steam might lie made equal to that ot six-, the piston is calculated to receive a pressure: of Solbs. to the square inch, whidi may be increased to 5Dlbs. a power, we will take the liberty of saying, not altogether advisable. !he expence of lire to generate the ordinary pressure of steam does not exceed one ewt. oi. coal (to each horse-power required) in the twenty- i'our hours,: its action creates .a. pleasing.astonish- ment, not being fettered with either condenser or air pump, and one simple cock or valv- governing its whole motionneither is it encumbered 'with the many gearing attached to most other engines; X otwithstaading these observations, we do not mean to extol this machine beyond the bounds of reason; we consider it an infant that may yet re- ceive further nnpr9vementln the school of sci- ence; nor do we mean to depreciate the merits of those whose good sefvices have hitherto so justly met the approbation of the pubi c. We regret, however, to "see this apparatus so much exposed to the weather, which must, during several months in..heyèar,lllaterially operate against the gene- 5 iad -the perpetua,! aeciimulation. ot dirt on its working part'>, p«rf-i^ii]ariy the pis-- ten rod, which is sdppo«e<l to be packed air-tight, cannot hat operate highly to its disadvantage^ as. it is generally understood that friction should be strenuously avoided in all moving bodies.

This latter possessed dB eight-horse power, and was not only worked with ,a less quantity thna bushel of coals per hour, but the steam,- after having per- tbmicd; its office, was also proved to he capable of boiling 54 gallons of v.-ater every: cleven minutes ;ItirinE ttic phave, gre-,t pleasure in adding, that this valuable, improvement has .at- tained its: present, perfection jn- consequence of the spirited and active patronage or Mr. llomfray, of Merthyr Tidvil, Glamorganshire. Extract of a Letter from Mei'f^/r Tidvil, Feb. 22. Yesterday the long-expected trial of Mr. Tre- vethick's new-inventt-.d steam-engine, for which he has obtained his MajesU's letu rs patent, to draw and work carriages of all descriptions on various kinds of roads, as we,11 as tor a number of other purposes, to which its power may be usefully ap- plied, took place'near This town, and was found to perform, to hdmiration, all that was, expected from it by its wannest advocates.. In the present instance, the hovel application of steam, oy means of this try ly valuable machine, was piade use of to convey along .the Tfam-road ten tons long Lweight of bar-iron, from jPenydarran Iron Works, to the place where it joins the Glamorganshire j Canal, upwards of nine: miles distance^; and it is Ineessay to observe, that the weight of the load was so oh increased from ten to h fteen tons, by about seventy, persons riding 011 the Trams, \vho,; drawn thither (as well as mg,ny hundreds of others) by Ie curiosity, were eager to ride 'I' at the exDcnce-cfthis first display of the patentee's ^biliues iij .this cbuntryv To those who are not acquainted, wjth the exact principle of this .new engine, it may not bedmpropef to observe, that it tjilfei's from all Qthersyet brought before the pub- lic, by disclaiming the us^^of-condensing water, a^d discharges its, steani iato-the open air, or ap- plies it to the heating:of fluids,' as conveniency may require. The expeace'of making engines on this principle does- not' exceed one halt of any -on the most improved plan made use of before this" appeared it takes much less coal to work it, and it is only necessary to supply a small, quanti,tyof warrior the purpose of cteathig the steam, which is a most essential matter. It performed the jotir- ney without feeding the boiler,or using any water, and will travel with ease at the irate ol five miles an hour. ■ doubted but that the number iofllorscs in the kingdom will be- ver3, con reduced, and the machine, in the. hands of the pre- sent proprietors, will be made use of in a thousand instances never yet thought of for an engine."
