The contrivance is very simple and self-operating. We invite the Star's patrons who use steam engines to call and witness its operation. Apropos—for some years after the establish- ment of the Sear, its presses were driven by a portable steam engine, manufactured at the North by a manufacturer of as much reputa- tion as any other in that quarter. Its propen- sity to get out of order, cost us an average of $300 annually, for repairs and extra labor con- sequent upon its temporary failures to operate satisfactorily. In June, 1856, tired of ineur- ring sach losses, we purchased of the Brothers Ellis, of this city, an engine and boiler of their own manufacture, that had previously been used a year, at a cost of $600, and almost threw away the other. E. & Brother nteed theirs would work a year free of cost for re- pairs. &c. Instead of working the single year the first five dollars expended in about two years and nine months, upon either engine or boiler, was so expended a week or two ago, when we were compelled to drive our daily press by the conjoint hands of nine stalwart laborers, for a single day. - Thus by patroniz- ing the mechanical industry of our own city, in this case, we have already saved in repairs, &e., more than the whole cost of the new, su- perior, and far more powerful engine and boiler; and besides, at least $100 annually in the consumption of fuel, for the pine wood re- quired to generate the stenm for the northern made engine of four horse power, cost at least $100 more per annum than the Cumberland coal required to drive the ten-horse engine made by our own enterprising and skillful neighbors. How that engine works now, after being three years and nine months in use, all interested are at liberty to see for themselves. When driven under a fall head of steam, its | movements can hardly be heard ten feet from it. To all appearances, it is in as good condi- tion to-day as on the day it was put up in the Star’s engine-room. ¢ There is a lesson in these facts which all may learn to advantage—that of the better economy of patronizing our own mechanics, well known to all surrounding them, whose work may not fail to give satisfaction at home without great injury to their business.

Besides the indebt- edness which the Department is Prepared to meet, there will be but a small balance due before the latter part of August. It is then | that the great bulk of the expenses for the last quarter of the year ending on the 30th of June next are to be paid. It is apparent, therefore, that if Congress shall be convened in August there will be time enough allowed to pass an appropriation bill before more than a propor- tionably small portion of the money is required. It does not follow that because parties will trust others to $50 they will trust them to $5,000. s i. i: Facts axp Rusors.—The New York Her- eld’s Washington correspondent says : the “The State Department reecived voluminons | despatches by the last arrival from Euro) fi Mr. Reed, our Minister to China.

During his tour, he visited the Jonian Islands, and acquainted himself with the mode of cultivation, climatic necessities, and the method of drying and packing this fruit; as well as the diseases incidental to the plants, and the profits arising from its cultivation ; of all which he informs the Patent Office in detail. He also urges the importance of attempting the introduction of the fruit into this country. The agricultural department of the Patent Office did, however, introduce a great quantity of the vines last year, which were widely distributed in the southern States and in California, and from which the happiest results are anticipated. el Tor Extra Srssion.—We have reason to believe that the decision concerning the extra session has not yet been wholly arrived at, and that the matter is oceupying the attention of the Cabinet again to-day. It is said to be prac- ticable to forward the proclamation calling the extra session to the Pacific side in good time, by sending it by way of New Orleans and Teha- antepec, even if a decision is not made for sev- eral days yet.
