It may not te known to the readers of your valuable paper that an American inventor was in advance of Whitworth in obtaining a patent for a street-sweeping machine, which was issued to the inventor by the then Commissiorer of Patents-‘on the 28th July, 1843. Proof, however, exists that the invention was made about a year preceding the issue of the patent. The model of this machine can stil be seen inthe Patent Office at Washington, which contains the revolving brushes, in- clired plane and dirt box, essential elements in Whit- worth’s machine. I have seen drawings and specifica- tion: of this machine in the hands of the inventor, who is acitizen of New York. He exhibited the mode! of this machine in Philadelphia, Paltimore and New York; but at that time it was impossible to induce the authori- ties in either place to patronize it. He subsequontl; made important improvements in its construction, a overcame insuperable objections which attached to his first machine, and which still belongs to the English machine, and without the adoption of which that ma- chine, por any similar to it, can ever be made fully suc- cessful, and efpecially on cobble stone pavements, of which more than ninetecn-twentieths of the streets of New York are paved, and which are always in the Girtiest stote, ond require the most sweeping. He also invented a watering machine, which s calculated, in parsing over a street once at night, to sprinkle the whole width of a street; and which can also be adapted to the ure of railroads, and thoroughly ssripkle them in their whole length, and for ten or twen- ty feet, if necesrary, on either side.

MEETING OF THE YOUNG MENS’ HARD SHELL OOM- MITTEB—THE MBETING—THE OLD PHAR ‘TREE TO BE ABANDONED. a A meeting of the Young Mens’ Hard Shell Committee was held last night in Stuyvesant Institute. C. Godfrey Gunther in the chair, and John King acting as secretary. The Committee on Bye-Laws reported progress. Some conversation occurred as to the probable effect of the late fusion mecting in eoocrg * Hall. Mr. Ryan stated that there were no hard shells in the room. He under- stood that the was a large one, bat he supposed it was filed with countrymen, who mistook Termmaay Hall for Barnum’s Museum on account of there being a band of music outside om the balcony. Mr. Ryso occasion to go past the hall, but he took precious good care to go on the other side of the street so that no one would suppose that he had any affiliation with the fte. A member asked if the Recorder, J, M. Smith, who pre- sided, could still be considered a good national de- rat The Chairman thought the Recorder a good kind of man, but no doubt he had been influenced to take the unwise course of acting as President by some designiag soft politician. It appears that Mr. Smith is still a member of ths Hard Shell General Committee. ‘A committee was appointed to act in conjunction with the General Committee (old mens’) in securing new rooms for the future meetings of the committee, ‘The meeting then adjourned.

It was moved, seconded and adopted, that the con ference meet in session each day, at nine o’clock in the morning, and that due preparations be mace for an afternoon recess.

But the object thus generally stated involves inquiries with the mutual relations of the Union an‘ its mission- aries, as well a6 tothe extentto which they are, or | should ke, subject to regclations or instructions pro- ceeding from the Board or its executive committee. the regulations absolutely established and en- 2.

These will be submitted in order. But before doing so, the committee propose to subm:t the reasons which, in’ the judgment of the committee, required the calling of a specisl meeting of the Board, ‘The reasons are, first, the nature of the topics pre- sented, involving not only fundamental priaciples of mirionary policy and administration—topick which it was thought could not well be discussed at the usual meeting. econ, the injurious influence of the existing state of things on the missionary work at home aad abroad.

Some of t communications were pubNshed by the weekly denominational press. Others were read at the ennual meeting. The reper's of that moeting, on reaching the mission- arics, setm to have had the effect of increasing the aum- ber of dissenting winsionaries, and to call forth a much larger number of communications, antmadverting with marked severity, on both the work of the deputation ee and the statements made by them on their re- urn. ‘The Executive Committee are bibught to feel that they are tonnd by a regard to their trust to lose no time in giviog the Board of Managers «ll the information they posers as to the ¢xisting disquiet. * ¢ # ® What can be hoped for when a por- tion of the most important part of the co-cperative force becomes adverse’ When missionaries undermine the confidence necessary to the success of their home organization? Surely it cannot be possible thus to aus- tain ro great an enterpriro as that of Christian missions, The Executive Committee come, therefore, to the Board of Monagers in obedience to’a necossity which they sincerely and deeply regret. They had hoped no thing would make it needful for them to mali, public the details of painful proceodinge. They lay before the Board the facts necessary to a just appreciation of the Present state of the missions in Burmah. ‘The rest of the document goes to prove that tha pre- fent proceedings ate con‘ormable to the eleventh arti- cle of the constitution of the society. It recites invitations to this meeting sent to the Rev. N, Granger, one of the late deputation: also, to all the missionaries of the Union now in America; to mom- hers of the Union; to the Rev. Wm.

In it he advocated the sustainfag of the principle that missionaries shall continue $2 re- ceive their appomtments as servants for the Board and take their direction of action from the same source. The Doctor argued at great length, and concluded by submitting many other papers to the delogates. Rev. G. W. Samson recommendei the nomination of special committees, to whom all papera would be re- ferred for report. ‘The Home Secretary thought it would be more regular to consider all the papers in routine, and then reviow the whole of thrm in order.

The Late Assault on the Commercial Agent of the United Sketch of the Trial—Scenes in Court—Summa- ry of the Bridence. Since I wrote you last, the persons guilty of the as- sault on our acting Commercial Agent have been tried, and condemned to one month’s imprisonment and twenty-five dollars fine, of this country money. Tenclose you a paper containing an account of the trial, at which I was present, It is impossible to con- ceive the utter ridiculousness of the scene ; the ac- cused parties were running about, talking to whomsoever they chose, encouraging their witnesses, laughing with their friends, &c.; the President of the Court contioually commanding silence. In short, the most complete con- fusion prevailed throughout the whole trial. You can gather many proofs of the singularity of the scene by a simple perusal of the paper, in which, how- ever, the testimony of the witnesses for Mr. Knight has tot been fully given, and even additions have been made, to turn the public opinion against Mr. Knight. Now, a word about the evidence elicited. The Attorney General, the prosecutor in the case on the part of the government, politely “that is to be pre- sumed that all the witnesses on the part of Mr. Knight, except Captain Meyers, from the fact of their having been on good terms with Mr. K., gave evidence in his favor:”’ but he entirely forgets that four witnesses on the other side should not have been allowed by law to bear testimony at ull, they being employed ia the store of the Messrs, Pouilh, ani the remaining witnesses for the accused, who testificd that there, was no blow iven by Mr. Pouilh, Senior. I overheard Mr. night ‘ay, ‘Come into tbe counting room,” after the blow was inflicted. There is no crors ques- tioning in a Daytien court, or, at least, taere was not in this case; every man tells his story and is shown out. As to the evidence of several witnesses of the Messre. Pouilb, relating to that which passed on Saturday, the 12th uliimo, Mr. Knight himself related to me the TONE Upon returning to the couating room of Mesera. Po: & Co , the only persons I saw were Mr. Pouilh. Jr., and Mr. Riobet; the latter understanding Foglish, 1 asked him to transiate for Mr Pouilh the sragraph on the pointe in question, They both got up a their seats; the former called to his father, who was In the store, and the latter took tho instructions fromme. Mr. Pouilh,&r., did not immediately come, Mr. Ferrayra did, and took the instructions from Mr. Riobet. I then stepped into the counting room and pointed out the paragraph to Mr. Ferrayra, and imme- diately withdrew into the yard, but stood close to the door,” Mr. Pouilh, Sen., t! gp came from the store, took the instructions out of Mr. Ferrayra’s hand, and came close up tome. I remarked, “Mr. Pouilh, I am sorry this aflgir baa arisen again.”? 1 wasinterrupted by him, and he commenced using av gross Tanguage as he had cone the cay before, He suddenly paused; then asked if ‘I drank; if Iwasa drunkard?’ I rep! ‘he had no right io ask such a question.” He immediately gave me a blow in the mouth with his fist, and at once was taken hola of by Mr. Riobet and anot¥er person. Such, Mr. Editor, is the account as Mr. Knight gives it, and he knows too well the necessity of being precise and exact in his statements. ‘The Jacges, in their judgment, make it appoar that it waa Mr. Knight who was the aggressor, but still -thoy think the Pouilhs had better go to prison. The whole course Mr. Knight has taken in this mi straightforward and correct. He blames for his with to retaliate for Mr. Pouilh’s persecution about the house, Lut I assure you, air, the thinking clacs of people here, and more particularly the foreig: ers, consider him free ¢f censure in every thing he bi done, AN A CAN.
