ITEMS OF INTELLIGENCE. 



We have been shown some beautiful specimens of 

 ornamental printing, executed by a new process invent- 

 ed by Mr. H. B. Brewster, and which promises to be of 

 great utility, as it can be used in the lettering of Books 

 with great facility. Any color can be given to the pa- 

 per, and the lettering is done with gold or silver leaf. 

 Mr. B. intends applying for a patent.

Burden's Alew Steamboat. This boat, about which 

 there Jias been so 'much curiosity, arrived hereon Sat- 

 urday evening. The hull, or rather the hulls of this 

 boat, are two parallel tubes of 300 feet long each, eight 

 feet in diameter at the centre,— tapering to a point at 

 either end, and placed at the distance of 16 feet from 

 each other. Her draft of water in the centre, where 

 she sinks the deepest, is 35 inches. Her engine is of 75 

 horse power. — Although the engine is new and incom- 

 plete, — making only 14 instead of 24 revolutions, for 

 which it is calculated, — the boat came through in twelve 

 hours. Her speed at times was estimated at sixteen 

 miles the hour When her engine shall be put in com- 

 plete order, it is no exaggeration to believe that her 

 speed will exceed twenty miles per hour — JV. Y. paper.

Time of Labor. I am quite satisfied, from my own 

 experience, that is from forty years' observation and 

 practice in my own profession, that vigorous health, 

 and the ordinary duration of life, cannot be maintained 

 under the circumstances of twelve hour's labor day by 

 day ; it is incompatible with health ; it is not to be done 

 with impunity. [Sir A. Carlisle before the Factory 

 Commission.]

STEAM RICE SIX^Xj, AT SOUTH BOSTON. 



THE subscriber having purchased the Patent Rice Machines 

 of Messrs. Strong, Moody &. Co. of Northampton, with the 

 exclusive piivilege of using them in Boston and a large vicini- 

 ty, has put them in operation at South Boston, near the Free 

 Bridge. It is well known that rice in its rough stale, or with 

 its outer hull on, will keep many years, and that after been 

 cleaned, it is subject (particularly in warm weather) to weavil, 

 and other insects, and is usually put in bad casks — he therefore 

 hopes, by having this article always in a fresh state, in casks of 

 different sizes, to meet with a ready sale. The mode of clean- 

 ing being entirely different from any other now in use in any 

 other country, the grain is kept quite whole and very clean. It 

 will be put in good casks of usual size, for export ; also in bar- 

 rels and half barrels, and in bags of 100 lbs. each, (which may 

 be returned ;) also, ground into tine Flour, in quarter barrels — 

 it will be delivered in any part of the city, for a reasonable 

 charge, and will not be sold in smaller quantities. Also, the 

 line Bran, or Flour, so called in the Southern Slates, being the 

 inner coal of the grain, excellent food for horses, cows, hogs, 

 sheep aud poultry — and the outer Hull, a prime article for 

 packing glass, crockery, bottles aud fruit, and is believed will 

 prove valuable in making Coarse Paper, will be sold at a low- 

 price in large quantities. 



This Rice is particularly recommended for whaling ships 

 and others going long voyages, as from being highly polished, 

 and free from dust and flour, and buing put into their tight iron- 

 bound casks, it will be free from any insects, until exposed to 



(Ej* An Order Box is placed in Mr. Roger's Foreign Letter 

 Office in the area of the City Hall, and a sample of the Rice in 

 several Insurance offices. State street. JOHN PRINCE.
