Some important experiments have just been made at" Washington fey Professor Page. It will be re membered thaVduring the last session of Congress Mr.1 13enton presented a memorial, setting forth that Dr. Charles Gt Page had discovered .a mode of Applying 'electrpmagnetjc power to the purposes of navigation and locomotion, and as a general substitute for the dangerous agency of steam. He also suggested that an appropriation of $20,000 be made, to enable Dr. Page to test his discovery by, practical experiments. The proposition was ac ceded to, and the experiments have been made; and in the Senate, on Friday "lGth inst.,-Mr. Benton an nounced that Dr. Page .was ready to exhibit the result, of his; labors, and illustrate them by remarks and explanations. The Smithsonian Institute was mentioned as the most suitable place, and Satur day evening named as the, time. Mr. Benton then submitted this interesting statement : The practical question which has occupied Dr. Page is the question of cost monied cost of pro ducing this power Its capacity arid applicability had been previously established its capacity un limited rits applicability convenient and safe. . But the great question of cost remained, and that has been deemed too great to admit of its use in the business operations of the country. In Eu rope the cost has been held to be fifty times grea ter than the cost of producing steam. Dr. Page in a. written communication, now in my hands, says that he produces this power at a less cost than steam power can be produced. His words are: "With the same size of battery, and much less cost, I am enabled now to exert a force of six hun dred pounds, where; more than a year ago, I ob tained a force of only fifty pounds. With a con sumption of two and a half pounds of zinc, 1 now produde one horse power for twenty-four hours This is nearly as cheap as the cheapest steam en gine in the world, and much cheaper than steam under some conditions." Supposing Dr. Page to be right in this state ment of the present cost of producing the electro magnetic power, the hitherto insurperable objec tion to its use as a propelling power is entirely ob viated, and the cost actually converted into a con sideration in its favor. It is now cheaper, and must become more so when the demand for zinc shall occasion that to be brought into market which is now thrown away, as a refuse of lead ore, in the vast lead mines of Missouri and the Upper Missis sippi. Dr. Page now gives eight cents a pound for the zinc which he uses; when a large demand is created for it, it may be furnishrd for much less, and at the same time open a market for an article now thrown away. So much for comparative cost the electro mag netic power becoming an economy a moneyed economy in its production. But how many econ omies will follow from its use Dr. Page enu merates them. DUltinp at their head, iustlv. the economy of human life, now so deplorably wasted by the dangers incident to the use of steam. All , danger from explosion, and the main cause of dan cer from conflagration, will be avoided a co'n- summation devoutly to be wished by every human being. Other economies are thus stated. In nav igation saving room in the vessel, the engine and battery requiring but little space, and the fuel! very compact compared to coal doing away with chimneys, smoke-stacks, and theircumbrous fix tures instantaneous communicability of the whole. power, so important in changing course and avoid ing collision capacity to run a blockade, making no noise, and showing no light, except at pleasure simplicity in the construction of vessels dimin ution of insurance from absence of danger from explosions and conflagrations, and less danger from collisions. In land carriage no stoppages .to take in wood and water, arid saving the expense of all structures and attendance for such purposes, one charge of the battery being sufficient for twenty-four hours, or more no danger to cars or prop erty from, fires diminution of insurance from ab sence of danger from fire --comfort to passengers, in freedom from smoke, sparks, and ashes safe entrance into towns and cities from the absence of all the annoyances and dangers which, result from the use of steam. Such are some of the econo mies claimed by Dr. Page, of which, one alone, that of human life, would give an immeasureable preponderance to this power over that of steam, if the cost of its production should be made near equali much more if It should be made equal to steam, as Dr. Page avers it can be." Mr. B. said further, that he. intended to move another appropriation for Dr. Page, one sufficient to "enable him'to work-a ship of war or merchant vessel by this new power, and said that if it should be, successful, it would be an advance upon the use of steam power, equal to the advance of that J power over sails, oars, and wheels. The National Intelligencer, in an article upon the subject, no tices some of the experiments made by Dr. P. and describes' the results as truly startling. For ex ample, " an immense bar of iron, weighing one hundred and sixty pounds, was made to spring up by magnetic action, and to move rapidly up and dancing like a feather in the. air, without any visible support. The force operating upon this bar he stated to average three hundred pounds through ten inches of its motion. He said he could raise this bar one hundred feet as readily as through ten inches, and he expected no difficulty in doing the same with a bar. weighing one ton or a hun dred tons, lib could make a pile-driver, or a forge-hammer, with great simplicity, and could make an engine yhii a stroke of six-, twelve, twen ty, or any 'number of feet. " The most beautiful experiment we ever wit nessed, was the loud sound and brilliant flash from the galvanic spark, when produced near a certain point in his great magnet. Each snap was as loud, as a pistol ; and when.he produced th3 same spark at a little distance from Jhis. ppintvit made, no noise at all. This recent discovery he stated to have a practical bearing upon he construction of an electro magnetic engine. Truly, a great power is here ; and where is the limit to it?' M'YLe then exhibited his engine, of between four and five horse power, operated by a batterry con' tained within a space of three cubic feet. - It look ed yery .unlike a magnetic machine, ltftytasja reciprocating engine pfjtwp feet stroke, and the whole ?ngin,e arid battery weighed about5 ope ton.' When the power ws thrown on by: the moYion of a leveri the engine -started' 8ff? magnificently ma'i kinff.one Jiundred and' fourteen strokes petf minute; tjhough, when it drove a circular saw ten in'ces jnj diameter, sawing upjboards jan incn ana a quarter thick into laths, the engine made'but about eighty trnl(ns' oprrminutei-There1 Was great anxiety oh thefpauo&tho spectatowftoMJohtaVrtspacimens iofj these'lathsi ilo .preset vei&UMnmesftO) tinjffgreav " The force operating upon his magnetic cylin der'throughout the whole, motion of two feet, was stated to be six hundred pounds whert the engine was moving very slowly, but he had not been able to ascertain what the for.ee was when the engine was running at a .working speed, though it was considerably less. The most important and in teresting point, however, is the expense of the power. Professor Page stated that he had reduced the cost so far, that it was less than steam under many and most conditions, though not so low as trie cheapest s'tea'm engines. With all the imper fections of the engine, the consumption of three pounds of zinc per day would produce one horse power. The larger his enginesj (contrary to what has been known before,) the greater the economy. Professor Page was himself surprised at the result. There were yet practical difficulties to be over comethe battery had yet to be improved and: it remained yet to try the experiment on a grander scale, to make a power of. one hundred horse, or rhore. ' "Truly the age is fraught with wonders; and we can look forward with' certainty to the time when coal will be put to better use than: to, burn, scald and destroy." l.r - ! " - . Ci.. : ,. BY REQUEST. Minority Report Op;a Committee op the Connecticut' Eegisla- TURE ON THE SALE OF SpiRITOUS LlQUORS. The majority of the Committee having reported that nothing could be done, and that the petition be returned to the next assembly, the minority made an able report, and. recommended a bill whichrpassed the House. Says the Committee : As a means of determining the precise effects of this traffic, a prohibition of which is sought, we have only been able to examine the common sour ces of evidence which are open to all. From thence, we are plained to learn that. full three fourths of all the paupers in our State have been reduced to their present, condition by intemper ance. From actual examination of the acts in the case, it has been. asc.ertained;that,. in, -.many towps, almost the entlsefpoor tax is created as a direct result of Irlisf'vilrbv.hich is paid, not exclu sively by those who have been benefited by the. sale of strong drinks, but mainly by such as pray to be' relieved from these excessive burdens. Your Committee have learned, also, that a very large proportion of all the crime which is exposed and punished in your State, is traceable directly to this evil. .The Commissioners of Hartford County, in their report for 1819, say, "that of the 127 commitments to "the county prison, 97 were intemperate persons. Of the remaining 30, but few were known to be strictly temperate." The late keeper of the Hartford county prison, i" answer to the question, " What portion of corn- mitments to your prison owe their origin directly or indirectly, to intemperance 1" answers, Ninety per cent., and more- than two-thirds directly. m, . . .7 l j j . tn There have been twelve hundred commitments to .... , mis prison in ten years-ten nuncired and twenty of which, by this, estimate, have had thier origin . . . n ntnmnfirance. The coats o the State the ast ... , --- year, for executing the criminal law in Hartford county alone, upon those charged with various of fences, who were more or less addicted to the use of strong drinks to excess, have been nearly $1, 500 ; while the cost of trying all other criminal cases not connected with the use. of liquors, hast been less than $275. In New Haven county your Committee have sought in vain for relief from the terrible , facts brought to their knowledge from other parts of the State. . In 1849, the commitments to the New Haven county prison were 227; 181 of which had their origin in the same source. The Chief of the Police of the City of New Ha ven, unequivocally, affirms that seven-tenths of all the vagrancy and crime which comes under his observation, is thedjrect fruit of intemperance. In New London County the increase of vagran cy and crime has been so great, within a few years past, as to make it necessary to enlarge the jail at Norwich ; the keeper of which affirms that more thsn three quarters ofall the peisons who have been commuted there for several years past have been intemperate. The Commissioners of Windham County say " that of 58 commitments .to; their prison in a sin gle t y6ar,5 had, their origin, directly 1 or indi rectly, in intemperance! Of the 4Q commitments to the Litchfield Coun ty prison, from May, 1848, to February, 1849, 31 were directly occasioned by thp. use of intoxica ting drinks, and the rernaintng 9, confessed intem perance, if not the direct, the indirect cause of the commission of the crimes for which they were committed. From June 1st, 1845, Jo February 1st 1848, there were committed to the Fairfield County prison, at Danb'ury, 80 persons. Of this number 38 for of fences-committed while in a state of intoxication; and 25 of the remainder-were more or less addict- J ed to habits of interhperance,hile 16 were in the j constant' habit ofusit.ig strong drinks: leaving 1 only of the 'whole' 'number a total abstinence per son, and iTo'dt of the'8Q, vyho did ript-,owe their criminal confinement and degradation tt Jhe 1 use of intoxicating drinks. r , t .-,... jrom pthejpountieg we.havp pot, been, furnjshed witlusjatj sties, hut ca see, no . reason 4P .expect any? better stateofithingsj than those .alrpadyn pre,-i sented.

' There are among these piisoners 58 husbands and fathers, who have, in the aggregate, 180 chil dren, who are exposed to the evils incident to their fatheir's position. ' For information upon this subject we have searched the records of insanity, and there learn the melancholy fact that a large portion of, the lu nacy which comes under the Inspection of the offi cers of our Insane Retreat, has its origin in intem perance. We have searched, too for the legitimate causes of idiocy, and.though we have no statistics upon this subject in our own State, we learn from a re port of a Committee of the Massachusetts Legisla ture, appointed in 1848, to investigate this sub ject, that of thirteen hundred idiots in that State, between eleven and twelve hundred were the chil dren of drunken parents., A committee of the Ohio Legislature appointed for a similar purpose, report two thousand idiots in that State, a very large majority of which have either been intemper ate themselves, or are the descendants of intem perate parents. From hence, we have turned to the history of murder in our own State, and learn the singular fact that nearly all the murders which have been committed here during the last twenty years, have either had their origin in the grog shop, or their authors have been prompted to their deeds of vio lence under the stimulus of strong drinks. Si: murders have been committed in this State the last year, and the authors of five of them have been proved to have been urge'd fatal word under the maddening influence oUtoxicating li quors. We have been favored with the testimo ny of Jude Ellsworth, of the Supreme Court of Errors of the State which is that eight-tenths of all the criminal cases he ever tried, and every case of murder ever investigated by him, have had their origin in intemperance. F.rpm a still further increase of pauperism and crime, with the terrible consequences to communi ty incident upon their further development, a large poition of the people feel that they have a right to be' protected. Whatever compromise may have been heretofore tacitly acknowledged in the ad ministration of the State Government, by virtue ; of which, under our present system, a few have made themselves rich by crowding our prisons and poor houses, as well as furnishing victims for the gallows, two of whom are now under sentence of s death ; the people feel that this Legislature is un der solemn obligations to exercise the ample and unquestioned power vested in them, and to say j that henceforth and forever there shall be no more ' legalized extension of this great work of desola- tion and death ; 110 more special privileges given i J - ..... a1 .;.u .i 10 men unt'atitiu 111 mm iicuiiu, vvuiun, mure man any otner slavery endured on earth, robs men of their manhood, sunders the family relation, and i. c .

As far as we can ascer tain,jhose States which have enacted such laws are eminently in advance of our own in ability to abridgle the sources of pauperism and crime, and of course to lessen the expenses incident thereto. None of the- New England States, save our own, now sanction the sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage, each having prohibitory laws, more or less stringent, according to their circumstances. Anecdote of D'Alembert. D'Alembert was the illegitimate son of a cel ebrated lady of high rank, who, for the purpose of concealing her indiscretion, caused him to be exposed on the steps of Si. Koch. Here he was found by a poor woman who earned a livelihood by her needle. She adopted him, mainiained him by the produce of her labor, and placed him in ihe college of Montaigne. The young man profited by the instruction re ceived, so that, like Pascal, he made new dis coveries in geometry in his 1.5th year. His name soon became known over all Europe, apd the learned courted the society of the young stu dent of Montaigne. Such was the fame he ac quired by his eaily talents, that the lady at last began to be proud of having given birth to such a son. His foater mother had been watched, and consequently the real mother had obtained information concerning the fate of the child, but without contributing to its subsistence, "Vanity brought aboui what the voice of nature was incapable of effecting. She one day re paired to the college, and requested to see the youth. He came. She began a jpng har- rangtio pn the tyranny of prejudice, on the pain she. felt at being obliged to forsake him, and so forjh.

Speaking of Barnum's Chinese lady, who ist holding court at Amory Hall, and who boasts a foot only 2 1-2 inches long, the Post observesv-i that " In some countries one thing, and in other countries something else indicates beauty. 'What a splendid woman !' says the Hottentot, v 'she weighs over 300!' In American it is, 'What a lovely girl, her waist i3 only a span In China it is, 'What a lily ! her foot is only., two inches.' So we go. Which is the best !". . To this the wag of the Belfast (Me.)
