Ving in a straight perpendicular line, and with no quicker fnotibn, at the instant of giving the pull, than is usUal in presses ot the common construction. The printed sheet is removed by machinery of course it will require hut one hand to each form, to put on the unpriiued paper : which number would also be requisite to a news paper press. The forms will be rolled twice by the ink-rollers, of which there are three to each form : in performing this operation, the rollers will take and distribute ink twice for each impression that is, once between the time of the form's passing under them. The press is extremely simple requiring only the
power of one man to keep it in motion and it can be worked by steam, or in any other manner. The patentee being an experienced printer, has suited his invention to the wants of the profession. Indeed, so fully convinced were we of its utility, that we lost no time in engaging one for our use and no time will be lest in constructing it. Boston Pafier.

According to an article in the London Journal of the Arts and Sciences, for the month of July, it appears at present there are one hundred manufactories in Fi ance devoted to the making of sugar from the be st root. The quanty of sugar actually prepared is estimated at from four to five million of pounds. This, however, is but one twentieth of the consumption' in that country. The manufactories ate in a thri
ving state, and the demand for the article ;
increasing. The price of fuel in the French market being almost one sixth part of the whole cost f manutacturing the sur?ar,of course, in countries where fuel is mor e plenty, could be afforded propoitionably cheaper.

"The ship Thomas Wilson, arrived J supply of fuel and extent ot unimprovic
here in IS days from Montevideo, brings intelligence of another action having been
fought in sight of the walls of that city, in which the Bsazilians lost 600 men killed and wounded, and 300 made prisoners. " There have been three naval actions, but no one decisive. Com Brown has been highly extolled by the English and Americans for his conduct in the combats in sight of Montevideo. The Chilian squadron, consisting of the Asia 64, and two gun brigs, under the command of Admiral Guise, had left Callao, and were dai

From the Cincinnati Corn. Register. It is gratifying to perceive that while our attention is daily solicited to new and useful inventions in every part of the U. States, our own city is not destitute of
men whose talents and ingenuity in tne discovery and construction of useful instruments, and labour saving machines, equally entitle them to the attention and patronage of their fellow -citizens. Our attention has been attracted to this subject on the present occasion from having recently examined an instrument which has long been a diaideratum in mathematical operations. It is called by the inventor, IVir. Jesse Reader, a Universal Mathematical instrument. It is calculated to afford new facilities in taking courses and distances, without the use of any other in atrument. It will therefore supercede the use of chain Sec. in ascertaining the length of any right line, enabling a person, without changing his station, to take the course and distance to an object by observation and inspection on the instrument, instead of the ordinary plan heretofore used for taking field notes. It will readily be perceived that this will be a great acquisition to surveyors, and we congratulate them upon the discovery of an instrument which will so much diminish their
labor. Another invention which has attracted our notice, is a machine by Mr. Thomas Wright, a plasterer, for the cutting of laths, which, when in successful operation, will wonderfully abridge the labor of making that indispensable article. As it in not yet in full operation, we shall defer a description of it to some future day. Lonoon contains 1,265-595 inhabitants, covering a space of more than 7 leagues with seventy public squares, eight thousand streets, one hundred and sixty thousand houses, three hundred 5c mnetv-four churches, fourteen courts & justice, thirty learned societies, two hundred Sc ninety-nine charity schools, one hundred and forty-seven hospitals and infirmaries, and seven hundred other establishments for the aid of distressed persons.
On the 4th of July last, a military servant of Gen. Washington died at New York, and was buried by the colored people with the honors of war. So that the remarkable coincidences with which t!:at day will be remembered, is rendered still more singular by the demise of one so intimately connected with the father of his country. Lancaster Journal. Extract of a letter from an officer on board" the Constellation frigate, dated Pcnsacola, July 26. " I have nothing worth communicating, except the fact that there never was a ship in more beautiful order than the Con stcllation, and she may well be called the crack ship of West Indies. Her crew Se officers are all in perfect health. Our surgeons reported to day Jive men on the sick list only, 4 with partial or slight wounds received in performance of their duty, Sc

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Mexico to hit friend in v'ev York, datedJune 27th, 1826. k I am much pleased with the city of Mexico, and the counii y a1 ound it, and also with some oi its inhabitants. The number of foreigners here, (and it is supposed they exceed 3,000,) makes it much pleasanter for me than it otherwise would be. The French and Americans stick together like brothers ; also some of the English but not all of them The Germans keep very much to themselves. i I never saw a place where there is more pleasure riding than here, and the prettiest riding ground I ever saw. 1 he riding is all in a mule coachee, or on horseback. The mules arc rode, and no Mich things as veins used. Herves are not used
with the coaches. I have se.:n but cue 'ig in the whole ci;intrv. The matkets
are not as wen vapptn'tl as ours, but h uit is in abundance and reasonable. There arc no poor houses" here, which can ics the streets to be tilled with beggars from morning to night. They arc the most wretched looking beings imaginable some of them with no covering but an old dirty blanket wrapped around them. " The government intends soon to improve the road from this to Vera Ouz, which will make the communication calami rapid. The town of Xalapais i the nearest kea'thy town from the coast, and during the sickly season at Wia v'ruz. is the principal resort for its citizens, and travellers from the intetior. It makes it more agreeable to me, that the people with whom l have been acquainted are very fond of the Americans."
