New Sferfm K?iff:e We are informed by Mr. Dixon that he intends to make a public exhibition of his improved Steam En gine on the pond, in Ly nn, for the last time, on the 9th instant, where he yvill be gratified by the presence of the scientific and the curious, in nesting its practical utility A correspondent who has examined this ingenious inven tion and witnessed its operation, has furnished us with the follow ing remarks: We have seen, with surprise and admiration. Mr Dixon's new mode of generating steam, and its application in driving a steam engine There is no boi ler, and consequently that cumbrous and dangerous part of a steam engine is entirely got rid of. But instead of it. there is a cylindrical vessel of cast iron two feet in length, one foot in external diameter, and about twckinches in thickness, which is caller the re tort. This retort stands in an air furnace, and is surroundcg with the fuel, which was of coal. In this retort the steam is generated exactly as fast as it is wanted. This is effected by a force pump, worked by the machinery, which

forces the water with an air vessel similar to that of a common fire engine From this air ves

retort, wnrre, through a tune perforated with innumerable small holes it is forced into the form of
