NIN Star. VOL. IX. THE NAUTILUS. The Nautilus, an American invention for working beneath the sea, in almost any depth of water, we are glad to see, has proved a com- plete success with the English mind. The Victoria Dock afforded facilities to Mr. Hallett and Major Sears for making the ex- periment for the information of the public, on the 2d Tuesday in June. There was assem- bled to witness the experiments as large a num- ber of practical engineers and scientific men as had been seen present on any similiar occasion for the last twenty years. The London Era, June 14, gives the following account of the ex- periment. Upon the arrival at the docks of the distin- guished party, Mr. Hallett, to whom for the in- traduction of the Nautilus we are indebted. gave the strongest possible proof of his confidence in the self-sapporting power of the machine, by disconnecting from it the hose communicating with the barge attached, and making, with a single diver, four descents in twenty-five feet water. We think we cannot do better, for confirming our views of the great usefulness of this machine, than to give the following speech from Robert Stephenson, the great engineer, delivered at a very elegant luncheon supplied after the ex- periments had concluded. Mr. Robert Stephenson said—“ The Nautilus Machine—and I am speaking from personal and careful examination—appears to possess so man qualifications as a diving bell (a machine whic’ has hitherto been confined to very limited prac- tical operations), that I may truly say it may be called a universal diving-bell. (Loud cheers.) I assure you that I could “ot ‘e!p feeling very souch interested in what had been told me of its usefulness. (Hear, hear.) They are dis- tinet classes of mechanical genius; one distin- guished for extreme ingenuity in minute de- tails, applicable to many processes of the high- est value in civilized society; but I think the highest class of mechanical, talent and genius is brought to bear in completing those mechan- ical contrivances that may be called rough and ready machines. (Loud cheering.) Every mechanic in thie room will fully ap- reciate what I mean. (Renewed cheering.) consider this one of such rough and ready ma- chines, and I mustsay that the Nautilus Diving- bell appears to me to combine the highest class of mechanical skill with that high class of in- genuity in detail to which I have referred. (Great cheering ) For I must mention to you that the ingenuity —— to bear in Mr. Wil- liamson’s pump in the barge, which you must have observed, was by a hose connected with the ** Nautilus,”’ is scarcely second to the com- prehensive skill which is evidenced in the ar- rangements within the bell itself. and I must traukly say that, from the beginning to the end, I have never witnessed a piece of mechanicism so perfectly adapted to the purposes for which it was designed as the Nautilus Diving-bell and Pump. (Long-continuedcheering) Gentlemen, with the toast | have proposed you must per- mit me to couple the names of Hallett and Ma- jor Sears, to whom, I consider, we are indebt- ed for introducing this remarkable result of mechanical ingenuity and genius. (Loud cheers.) Before I conclude I think I should give you the substance of a statement made in reference to the working of this machine, by the engineer under my friend, Mr. Bidder. It appears that great difficulty has been experienced, under the old method, of replacing the heavy iron roller plates for the outer cack gates. The Nautilus was applied to this work, and I have no doubt the mecting will be surprised to learn the fact that az amount of work which had previous- ly occupied a period of three weeks and four days, was performed by the Nautilus in’ two days and two hours with the same number of men employed daily. (Enormous cheering, which lasted some time.) The engineer reports that he has been down in the Nautilus machine, and is satisfied that by its use nearly the same amount of masonry can be done under water as can be done above the surface.’’ [Great cheering.] He then proposed the toast, which was drunk with three times three and one cheer Tuore. Mr. Hallett, in returning thanks, said.—I thank you, I thank you heartily, for the kind manner in which the distinguished gentlemen have been pleased to speak of the Nautilus, and I thank you, gentlemen, for the cordial manner in which you received it. Justly proudas I am to be an American—proud as I aim of the stars and stripes upon the self-reliant breast of an American eagle—I am still more proud to have been instrumental, in any manner, however humble, in introdwecisg af American invention worthy the distinguished c&aracter given the Nautilus, by such a mgn as Robert Stephenson, before whom all others ars as pigmies in engi- neering science—than whom none excell in all the exseallennes of public and private life. I am sure more is due to the eminent gentle- men who have honored us with their company this day for the successful experiments of the Nautilus than to any effort of myself; and I may be allowed to say, that to the directors of the Victoria Dock Company, and to Sir M. Peto, are we indebted for the cordial and liberal facil- ity that has been given for the introduction of the Nautilus in England. Every opportunity has been given us by these gentlemen for ex- tended experiments, and, as has been stated by Mr. R- Stephenson, for the practical working test of a rough and ready American machine. |Loud cheers.| It will be the highest pride of the American proprietors to make the Nautilus worthy the confidence and patron: of the Victoria Dock Company, and of the high char- acter paid it by Mr. Robert Stephenson on this occasion. The chairman has pronounced the toast, and I am happy to say, as an American, that his Caan will — with a warm re- sponse in earts of my countrymen. [Cheers i} sie The beauty and the perfection of American marine architecture, and the skill and science of Americans in this profession, have been al- lauded to, as exemplified in the production of the United States war steamer Niagara. I as- sure you it is with profound pride that Aweri- eans look forward to the triumphant accom- plishment of her peaceful missioy to England— preparajory to performing her part in laying the great submarine telegraph cable, which is to connect the opposite shores of England and America. It is a beautiful thought, and won- derfully comprehensive as beautiful, that within #« few months, space and time between London and New York, and the two greatest - ive commercial cities of the world, will speak to each other with the rapidity of thought. The movements in the London and NewYork money markets will appear in both countries on the same da a take place vision in the British Parhament will be an- nounced simultaneously with the last Congres- sional vote in Washington. {Loud cheers.} And the same news will be transmitted over 42,000 miles of connecting telegraph line in the United States, and over 33.000 miles in Europe. Then, I trust, the union and interests of Eng- land and America will be one, and that it will be the glory and pride of both countries that America should be considered England's eldest daughter. [Loud cheers. ] Major Sears also addressed the meeting in an | @pprupriate speech. MaMMoTu StRawaeRnizs —Wm. buy, of Bloomfield, N.

Y., eut his throat about two months sinee. He died on the 20th instant. The Ro- chester Democrat says : “We learn that Mr. Ellis, of Henrietta, died on Sunday night, shortly after 9 o’clock. For several days previous he appeared to decline more rapidly than he had done since the first reaction from the effects of his dreadful wound. He had taken little nourishment, and at times his mind appeared to lose its grasp of earthly things, and he spoke of ‘ wanting to go home.’ These wandering flights were temporary, how- ever, and he ‘ized persons readily at other times. His death was calm and easy, the phys- ical powers ceasing from gradual exhaustion. “ About the first sickness which Mr. Ellis had experienced, was occasioned by a severe cold tal last winter in clearing up a new piece of land on his farm. From this he did not appear to entirely recover, his brain being a parently slightly affected by it. Last April he received an offer for the purchase of one-half the farm on which he resided—one of the best in that locality, about one hundred acres in ex- tent, with a handsome dwelling-house upon it. He accepted it. But after closing the bargain he refieeted upon it a good deal, and came to the conclusion that he had parted with the land for less than its value. This troubled him ex- ceedingly, and deprived him of cheerfulness by day and rest at night. “On the night preceding the first of April, he was unusually disturbed, and walked the house continually. In the morning he walked out into the orchard near the house and cut his throat, severing the wind, ape, and making a ghastly wound. His son followed him, anxious respecting his state of mind, and found him lying upon the ground, apparently dying. The old gentleman was removed to the house and a physician called, who ascertained that the prin- cipal veins were not severed, but considered that his death must ensue in a few hours. He continued to live however, without taking a article of nourishment, for three weeks and our days, when one of the family, respondin: to his entreaties for food, gave him a piece of ager which she was preparing for the table. ie held it in his mouth for a while, but was unable, of course, to swallow it. This seemed to satisfy his immediate craving, and the expe- riment was repeated. “ A few aay afterward, he said he would like to get up and sit at the table with the family at dinner, and was assisted to do so. A little clam soup, of which he was very fond, was given him, anda small portion may have found its way into his stomach—the greater part, however, ozed out of the orifice in the neck, which never closed up entirely. Some three wecks since, Dr. Hazeltine, assisted by Dr. Moore, of this city, inserted a tube into the gullet, through which liquids were conducted into the comes: and this appeared to revive his wasting strength. But he has never exhibited any great desire tu live, and had prepared his mind for the great change, which was evidently approaching. This singular case has speared to call formore than usual mention, and we have accordingly stated it at some length.” A Mipsigut Apraritioy.—In Wisconsin, in the midst of the terrible storm which prevailed on the night of Saturday, some of the residents on the line of the Beloit and Madison Railroad heard, at midnight, the very unusual sound of a railway train thundering along the track. Many sprang from their beds, and looked out into the darkness, and the lightning revealed to their astonished eyes glimpses of a bs ge car and two passenger cars rushing by without locomotive or tender, and not a soul to be seen on board. Occurring at the time when the fierce storm, with its heavy thunder and lurid lightning, was prevailing, the event assumed to many minds a supernatural character, and there.were those even who longed for the day to come, with trembling hearts, for all must be aware that oy mara and credulity are not yet banished from the earth. It was just the night for such a thing to happen, according to all the established rules laid down for ghosts and demons to indulge their fearful revels. In the morning, a locomotive containing an engineer and conductor came quietly by, and the people learned that the cars they had seen were nothing more nor less than runaways. They had been standing on the track at Fort- ville ; the high wind had started them; as they were on a down grade, all attempt to stop them, after they had got under way, was useless: and 80 they went as along the inclined rails with gradually accelerating speed, till several miles distant, coming upon a level, the force of their forward motion was exhausted, and they brought up at Afton, where the conductor found them uninjured. A very good ghost story was thus spoiled Waar Next ?—Passing along the wharf yes- terday, in front of Allen & Needles’ place of business, we observed a barrel filled with some- thing that looked like a mixture of wheat bran and smashed cockroaches. The article proved to be a newly discovered fertilizer, very appro- priately called Cancerine. The utility of this article is 2 weighty argument on the side of those who maintain that Nature has produced nothing without a wise purpose. It is made from the king of crabs, or “moss bankers,”’ which are found in myriads on the Jersey beach. They are repulsive in appearance, consisting inainly of shell, legs and tail. The shell is of a horse-shoe shape, and is about the size of a large dessert plate. At the town of Dennisville, N. J., they abound to such a degree that a firm have erected an extensive factory for the pur- pose of converting them into manure. When the tide leaves the shore dry, the a mals are gathered into heaps. They are laid upon their backs ; when, being unable to turm over, they soon die. They are then put into a mill and ground to a coarse powder. The am- monia evolved during the process is extremely pungent, and in order to fix it, the preparation 1s deodorized by animalcharcoal. It is then in merchantable order, and when packed in bar- rela, sells readily at $30 per ton, just half the price of Peruvian guano. The shell of the king } crab is not of an osseous character, but possesses | the property of horn; and, aswe have said, con- , tains a large proportion of ammonia. We learn that the demand at present is greater than the supply. We repeat, what novelty comes next? Philadelphia North American. endian iaacesaeh ADVERTIsiNG.—The St Louis Republican, in concluding a congratulatory notice of its prosper- ity and snecess, saysof advertising : The truth is, advertising has become a great feature in the business of the country. No mer- chant can better understand than those who en- gage in it most extensively. The prominent ad- vertisements of wur fancy good dealers, and of our wholesale merchants, spread all over these pages, best attest the estimation in which they they hold it. {f they can in this Way secure a reading by teus of thousandy of persons every day, this is just what they want. f they can by so easy a process and so cheap a cost attract hun- dreds of bayers to their counters every day, what matters it to them that they pay a few dollars for doing it. But the mercantsare not the only persons benefitted by advertising. Every one who has | anything to buy or sell—every one who wantsany- | thing or has lost anything—every oné engaged in | aay business what ever—now resorts to the news- — tocommunicate with the public. Asa mat- er of course, every man in search of a Particular object or thing, looks to the advertising columns ofa newspaper to find it, and it there be any one so stupid as not to read those columns, he will never will keep up his neighbors, or the pro- gress of ihe age. “SomeTHInG Nover."—A lit has been adopted by the Universalist congregation of Lom- hard attest, Philadelphia, which uated for the first time on Sanday last. It is said, “Rev. Abel C. Thomas, (compiler of the book of service. and pastor of the church.) read the prayers and lesson ; all of which were responded toby the audience in quite an andiable manner. Many of the Ge pe and collects are from the Episcopal ps of Common Prayer, with material altera- tions. ————— {> Av insane man rfecth de, w: - | rested in the streets of PUilsdelphia, on ‘Saturday WASHINGTON , D.
