Taaaisaa Esariicusira is New Zsir.ssi>.—Prl- vate letters from Wellington, New Zealand, dated February 19, give the details of the earthquake at Wellington. The first shock occurred at 9

. m., without any previous warning, and more or less injured every stone or brick building in the town, hardly leaving a single chimney standing in the whole place.

The branch of the Union Bank of Australia, the gaol and the Government House suffered the most. Although the alarm and destruction of property were great, only one life was lost. The shock continued at intervals for several days, but none were so severe as the first.

It is expected that by the 20th of June. every available man in Britain belonging to Infantry Regiments will have been embodied for war.

The screw-ship Severn is finished, and will be the next vessel launched from her Majesty’s dockyard, Chatham. She carries fifty guns.

A Snowsit of Fitors.—About five o'clock on Wednesday morning there was quite a heavy shower near Middleton, Ohio. After the show- er, it was perceived that the ground was com- pletely covered with little frogs or toads about one inch long, which had evidently been rained upon the earth, and strange to say they ap- peared all to be alive and kicking.

CIIOLERA AT New 0nr.i-:sxs.—The tele rap

h re orts that the cholera has been dec aredl

op demic at New Orleans. New Orleans a- re of the 26th ult. record several sud en eaths from cholera. Among them are Mons. Godard, the celebrated ééronaut, who was alive and well on the night of the 25th, and a corps the nextmornin ; Ilugh Grant,a well-known engineer, and into city surveyor, who died after a few hours‘ illness.

DISTRESS AT New 0llLh‘.A.\'S.—Th0 New Or- leans Delta, of the 25th ult., says there ha not been a drop of rain there for nine weeks , and the Bulletin says, the substitution of river water for rain wate as a bovcra s, has been attended with serious cficcts. Ha fa million of gallons is given to the poor of the city every day, by the city authorities.

A letter from Mathewtown, Inagua, of April 18th, says, that heavy rains have destroyed the prospects for salt for the next few months. About 60,000 bushels were then on hand at twenty-five cents.

Sourii Csiior.iss.—A corres ondent of the Journal of Commerce, writing rum Edgefield, South Carolina, under date of May 30, says that everything was very favorable for the farmer in that section of the country. The cotton and corn were growing very rapidly. There has been raised a good crop of wheat, part of which had been already harvested and converted into flour Vegetables of all kinds were doing well, and there is a prospect of a heavy yield of fruit.

The Lake Superior country is rich in minerals and lumber. he po ulation is rapidly in- creasing. and the laci ities of transportation are now so complete that large accessions will undoubtedly be made to the inhabitants, espe- cially in the mineral region.

We learn that the New York, Newfoundland and London Telegraph Company. have comploterli arrangements with the existing Telegraph Com- panies in Maine and New Brunswick for trans-. mission, of the business in the meantime between St. John's, Newfoundland. and New York, and at an early period for the messages to be conveyed across the Atlantic, from Galway to St. .lohn’s by it submarine wire. The cable to connect New- foundland with Prince Edward Island is now on the way out, and it is ex ected that all between Newfoundland and New ork will be in working order by lst August.‘

It can scarcely be expected that -much beyond the Newfoundland business can be done before the completion of the line across the Atlantic. It isssid that the Company: which is re resented by some leading men in ew York, wil be able to induce the Collins steamers to call at St. John's and leave the news; if this is so, t least four days will be gained, but we doubt if t ese valuable steamers, with full complements of passengers, will risk makiiig'two ports for the mere urpose of snticipatin t eir own intelligence. a think no time shou be lost in getting the cable across the Atlantic, which the recent success in con- necting Verna with Belalilava, a stretch of 500 miles, has put beyond qusstion.—New Brunswick Courier uric .

Tire Nsws.—By the arrival of the Lady Le- Marchant yesterday, we have a confirmation of the news published in our last issue, in regard to the success of the Allied Armies. We con- fidently expect that we will have on English Mail this evening, which will put us in posses- sion of the particulars of the several engage- inents.

We willingly copy from the Islander, a des- cri tion of Ir. Scantlebury's Steam Engine, alt ough we had ourselves given an account of the some premises when the Engine was first set in motion. Since that time two saws have been added—a vertical and circular—togethcr with ii steam box, for enabling the workmen to give the requisite curve to the ends of ig shafts, sleigh runners, &c. The whole is hig ly creditable to Mr. Scantlebury, and affords an

additional proof, that we are making some pro- gress in turning the industrial resources of the ountry to ii. rofitable account. It is but thirty pears since, t at if a carriage other than the common cart was re uired, it was necessary to send to Britain or t e neighbouring Colonies for it. Now there are coach and wagon build- ers in all parts of the Island who are enabled to turn out work of the most creditable descrip- tion, and as good a carriage of Island make as any one need want, may be bad, if he be willing to pay a fair price for it. And thus it will be, ‘we trust, at no distant date, with every other species of manufacture. Our Legislature is, however, extremely short sighted in not inclu- din steam, and other labor-saving machinery, in tie list of articles exempt from duty. We are the last to advocate class legislation of any kind—Frec Traders in the most extensive sense of the words; we would nevertheless make ii. distinction between putting obstacles in the way ofimprovement and giving bountics. The importation of printed books is free, and pro- perly so; subjecting them to ii. duty is layin a tax upon knowledge and literature, and wool tend to obstruct the difi‘usion of both. In all new countries, the cat obstacle to extensive improvement is, t o difiiculty of procuring labor at a sufiiciontly low rate. Now, the im- rtation of Steam Engines has as decided a tendency to benefit the country into which they are introduced, as if so many industrious labourers were imported as the machines do the duty of, and with this advantage, that the unseen labourers of the Steam Engine require neither food nor raiment. The work up a sat deal of material that woul otherwise be 0st, and by making articles of homo manufac- ture chcaper, enab e the inhabitants to supply themselves with a larger proportion of forei n produce or manufactures, thereby indirect y contributing more to the amountofthe Revenue than would be subtracted from it by the remis- sion of duty. In almost all cases, where an

triumphed ever-

attempt is made to substitute mechanical labor for manual, the experiment is attended with it. a certain degree of risk of failure, hence it be- comes necessary to calculate the cost to a frac- vtion, and a duty of five per cent. added to the interest of the money, and various other expenses, all of which must be incurred long rovious to any profit being made, is quite suf- cient to make a man pause, before sending an order for labor-saving machinery of any sort, and we are satisfied that it does and wi 1 con- tinue to impede the march of progress. It is a great mistake to suppose that the stand in the same category with inercliandizo. In the importation of goods, cvcry mcrcliant adds the duty to the price of the article, and something more, to reimburse himself for the outlay of capital, and the custoriicr pays it. In the im- portation of machinery, the reverse is the case, the duty is an addition to the sunken capital, upon which the im orter must pay interest, w ioh must likewise e added, until the profits of the undertaking are such as to liquidate both, and this may not happen for years per- haps, as in the case of the Gas Company. It would in every point of view, he more litic, we think, to encourage the importation o labor- saving machines, by removing the duty, than idisoourage enterprise by retain ng it. The whole terifi' requires revision. Books, as we before stated. are imported duty free. Printin paper, t es, resses,ink and machinery are al taxed. us a rdlng a bount , and a very considerable one, to the foreign nter, at the ex ense of

‘ team in place of the other. Let him, owevcr

’ the book can be sent here at a cost 0 five per

° attendgd with inconveniences and expense, nd he is about to substitute the wer of

print as many books as he will, he pays five per cent. more than he could have printed the samebook for in the United States. And this he must lose, as all other things bein equal, cent. less than he can afford it. We do not want to see books taxed ; on the contrary, we would. take ofi‘ all restrictions, and remove all impediments to the free course of learnin and knowledge, and we would have the materials of book-making equally free of dut with the books thcinselvcs, thus by the printin of cheap books, aiding and extending the bone ts of free education. ‘itke another instance : a fuller and dyer imports machinery for the better and more perfectly dressing and dyeing cloth, he is charged ii. duty on both the machinery and dye stuffs ; cloth, however, may be sent from here to Nova Scotia or .\'ew Brunswick, and when‘ dressed and dyed. those are imported duty free, what is this, but giving the Nova Scotia work- man im indirect bounty. Let us not be under- stood however, as wishing to prevent people

om sending their cloth abroad, if they think it can be better dressed there than here, but do not encouraigc the sending cloth to be finished out ofthc country. Enable, on the contrary, the Island workmen, by the aid of better machinery, to excel the I\'ov:iscotians, and you will reverse the pi'0ccss.ttnd have strangers send- ing their cloth to be dressed here. We shall return to the consideration of this important subject at some future period.

SCAN'l‘l.EBURY’S STEAM SAW MILL.

“ You may know where ii Steam Engiiie is by the height of the cliiinm-y and the volumes of black smoke that occnsioiiully I)l‘lCl'l from it, but to ascer- tain wliiil nstoiiisliing clfccts L-llt,’f|lll is capable of pro- ducing, it is nccessiiry to innko ll more minute inspec- tion. \Ve went over Sc:int|eburi‘s t-smbli.-ihment a few days since, in compziny oitlfu frh.-rid, and were surprised to find that 11 (.‘0llCt'fll so t-xieii.-'ivc existed in Chiirlottetown. On entering the prcini.-ics the first thing that met the eye was in large log, nttnclied to a chain, Illilltlllg its way across the yard to on tidjacent building; this we followed nritil we saw it carefully deposited alongside a number of (llllt,'l'.l similarly placed, and ready to be submitted in turn to the action ofu vertical sow, wliibli was then in the act of cutting a H-inch lnginto -I-inch plunlr. (hie ofiliese planks was then placed on along moieuble tuhlc, having a grove or slit through the centre, a number of rollers being set in motion, propelled the plank towards a circular saw. moving at the rate of l;'il)0 revolutions in a minute. and in it few seconds reduced the plank into four inch scnntling. Nothing could exceed the cornpnrative quietness and ease with which these operations were performed. On leaving this portion 0 the works we were sliewn into lll'l enclosed apart-

NOTEB BY THE WAY. (coniinsed.)

The greatest attraction in the cit when we were in St. John, was the recon y erected Drug Store of Messrs. Fellows and Co. We saw nothing of the kind that surpassed it, this side of New York, either in the elegance of the design or the tests displayed in the interior fittings. The front of the buildin is made of nicely finished pressed brick, fa with stone, the lower story displaying as great a surface of plate glass as it can contain with safet and without impairing the strength to the bui ding. On entering we find the fioor laid with marble, and the tops of the counter of the same material but of finer texture and more beauti- ful polish, the shelves are arched over, and are surmounted by a very rctty moulding, and in niches at the ends of? the arches are laced, small but appropriate figures. A smal foun- tain throwing a jet of water into a reservoir containing some very beautiful little gold fish, graces one of the windows. this with the marble floor could not fail to make the place

have a Fresco ainted on the ceiling, consisting of flowers ami which is sus ended ii. smiling cupid with it rosebud in his and. The whole shop is painted with the purest white, and the ottles, the most handsome we ever saw were lettered with appro riate devices in a crescent placed upon them oliliquely. The effect of all these decorations is heightened by a beautiful mirror at least six feet high and four wide, placed at the end ofthe shop which multiplies every thing and makes the shop ap ear twice its actual size. Mr. Fellows an his son deserve a great deal of credit for their enter- prise and we believe they are being rewarded by an ample share of the business in their line. Our old friend Mr. Fellows is well known here and his son Mr. James Fellows is a fine active young man and is spoken ver liighl of and generally esteemed for his blan ness 0 manner and attention to business. We called upon near] all our brethren in the trade who we foundy without exception ver kind and atten- tive, in shewing us not onlyt eir improvements in the business but in taking us over the city. We went to see Mr. R. Rankin's Steam Biscuit Manufactory a work of great novelty and of particular utility in a port at which so many ships are arriving and departing from continu- ally. We will try and give our readers a des- crilption of it. aving ascended to the second story, we found lur o quantities of flour stored there which wor men were em tying into a bin and separating from any bar lumps, the flour was then lightly shoveled under a sprinkler which moistened it uficiently to work up into dou h, near this hea an archimedean screw rapidly revolved whic kneaded the dou h far better

ment—-the other was open on the side next the yard —and here we saw the engine, not it very large one, but compact and well put togctlier, working in a very small spnce—we observed ii nnrrow vertical saw cutting felloes, for wheels, out of 24 or 3 inch plank. If one wished to witness the superiority of engine labor over munuttl, he could not have a nioro con- vincing proof than this adaptation of a saw to the action of miicliinerv. efore a man could have cut one felloe, in the ordinary way, by a liand-saw, this, guided by a single inan,'would have converted a plank 12 feet by 14 inches into as riiany felloee as it could contain. Every one who has seen the operation o cornpsss.sawing—we believe it is term —must be aware oftlic ditticulty the operator has in keeping the saw true to the curved line, independently of the severity of the labor and the tcdiousness of the opera- tion; all this is here avoided, and the article is turned and so truly cut that the plane, drawknife or spoke- slinve had little to do but smoothing and rounding off. Adjoining this wnsn lathe for turning iron, and an axlo wnsin the process of being completed. A small gfliitlsttilltl undsrueiitli the lathe served to sharpen the workni.in’s tools, which, when applied to the iron, tool; :-ll‘frotn it thin ribbons with the same case, ap- part-nily, as if the article had been lend.

Illt! staple of Mr. Scnntla.-bury‘s trade, are made and tilted. \Ve now several gigs in the various stages of lIl:lllll.rlICll«ll'C; they were rather stouter and more substununl. than those we see imported from the States, but Iliis we think is in their favour, considering what rough roads they will probably have to encounter. On the whole we were highly pleased at this manifestation of the proper spirit of adventurous industry, for we do not in the least doubt that it will meet with its due re- ward. We are beginning at last to awake up and endeavour to keep cc with the rest of the world. In fact, it has become absolutely necessary so to do, unless we would sink into the most ulijoct insignifi- cance. We are glad to ace steam bu-ginning to be more extensively used. and we trust that Mr. Seamle- bury, and all who are availing themselves of its powerful aid. ‘vill be well repaid for their exertions.

than_could be done by hand, an as we were told in one twentieth the time, the dough thus treated passed through a shoot to the lower floor, here a large mass of it was snb'ected to the presure of a heavy su r loa shaped roller (in_ common use in akeries) which flattened it sufiiciently to run it through the iron rollers which were driven by steam, it was several timesdpassed through these rollers and then delivere over_- to another workman, who ag‘a_in submitted_ it to the action of rollers w ic_h brought it to the right thickness for cutting into iscuits, a strip about two feet in breadth was laid on an endless revolving cloth, which carried it under the cutter, where it was punctuated and marked off to the desired size and shape, and carried on the same cloth to within a few feet of the oven. The Bakin

was by far the most novel process, and would require to be seen to be appreciated. Through along cylindrical brick even an endless wire cloth travelled of about four feet wide, and protruded about the same distance be ond each end, the biscuit was placed on this endless web, and bein slowly carried throng: was found to be perfectly and uniformly ba ed by the time it made its ap earance at the other end where it dro ped o the web into baskets placed to receive it. The speed of the web was regulated according to the description of his- cuit, and guagcs were also attached to regulate the heat of the oven ; for common ship-biscuit it took about 25 minutes. The baskets of his- units were then carried up into the third story and packed, and placed over the oven in order to dry the bread thoroughly so as to prevent its moul ing. .
