Steelyard. — A new steelyard has been invented 

 in France, which is said to possess greater accu- 

 racy than any description of that machine hither- 

 to in use. One of the improvements in this new- 

 invention, is the ease with which it can be verifi- 

 ed. The divisions, which are marked on the long 

 arm of the beam, heinu- from a zero point ; that is, 

 from a point at which the travelling weight places 

 the machine is equilibrium, when no weight is at- 

 tached to the short arm of the beam. This ena- 

 bles the most ii;norant persons to judge at once 

 of the correctness of its construction.

Value of Mahot^any. — A few days since, (says 

 the Hampshire Gazette) we observed a man un- 

 loading a few mahogany boards from a wagon at 

 a cabinet ware-house ; and, on inquiring of the 

 cabinet-maker how much his boards cost him, he 

 informed us that he paid in Boston for twelve 

 boards one inch in thickness, and containing about 

 sixteen square feet each, $42, and for freight up- 

 wards of .f 6 ; making the whole expense of the 

 boards, about four dollars each. This is at the 

 rate of twenty five cents per square feet, or about 

 seven cents per pound. We were further inform- 

 ed that all those boards, with many other valuable 

 materials, are to be worked into one table, or rath- 

 er, set of tables so formed that they can be united 

 into one.
