Motive Poicer without Fuel—Among the

many wonderful discoveries of the agè, the

Genoa correspondent of the Newark Adverti

set notes that a complete revolution in the

means of steam navigation and locomotion is

anticipated from a recent invention by Doctor

Carosio of that city. He has, it is said, suc­

ceeded in constructing an apparatus for the de­

composition of water by electro-magnetism,

which will introduce the gases thus generated

into the engine, in a way to save all the expense

of fuel! Iiis invention has been approved by

savans and practical engineers, and a company

has subscribed the means of giving it a full

experiment. Means have also been adopted to

secure patents in all other countries. Mr. J.

from our Minister at Turin to the head of the

0*The Concord (N. H.) Democrat states

that a cow belonging to Mr. Moody Gilling-

ham, of Newbury, New Hampshire, in eating

some garden vegetables, accidentally swallow­

ed a very sharp butcher knife, about eleven in­

ches in length, including the handle, with a

blade more than an inch and a quarter wide.—

On the 10th of January, a sore appeared in her

side, just back of the shoulder blade. A quan-

tity of corn, and other food, was discharged

from the opening. On the 17th ult, Mr. Gil-

lingham perceived the point of the knife pro­

truding from the opening, and, with the aid of a pair of pinchers, drew it out of the handle

through the cow's ribs uninjured. The second

morning afterwards, the hand!e was found in

the crib, also uninjured, having been vomited

up in the course of the night.

These give on® medical attendant for every ],-

the population. What ia singular is that the

richer departments have fewer doctors than the

poorer; thus in those of the north there is one

practitioner for every 2,496 persons, while in

the south there is one for every 1,619. It is

still more singular that there are nearly 600

from 2,000 to 8.000 souls, which have neither a

"Not let you!—why, how, and when could that be?" "It was in 1814— and there was a large party of us, too, who in­tended to eat our Christmas dinner in the city —but though we were very warmly received, we could not accomplish our wishes. So we turned round and went to Mobile Point; but, though we staid there some time, we did not find travelling in Alabama very tempting, so all concluded to return; and on the first of April, 1815, we left for home—the day selected for embarkation forming an appropriate finish to our fool's errand."
