This was a superiority, which, I confess, I did not dream of.— 
The comparison is not exact, because the ages are not the same. 
No. i, has eight broad teeth ; No. 2, has six ; and No. 3, has only 
four : but it seems to imply, that this ram is of a thriving race. 
Another comparison of ram hoggets, proved favourable to the 
Spanish blood.

It should s eem y from this, and various other trials, that so small 
an addition as one-fourth of Norfolk blood does a marked and es- 
sential mischief. Of these, No. 4 much exceeds the rest, a sheep 
of 37 lb. gaining 1 1 lb. is in the proportion of 23 lb. gain by one of 
80 lb. instead of which it is only 14 lb. 
Speaking generally, I believe the Spanish blood will be found 
to have a good disposition to fatten, if not in the same class as some 
of our long woolled breeds, at least much superior to some of our 
fine woolled ones. 
I put him to forty of my finest woolled South Down ewes, and 
therefore may expect to breed some rams well adapted to propa- 
gating fine wool, and some ewes, which, covered two years hence, 
by Don, will give me a yet nearer approximation. A. Y.

HYDROSTATIC ENGINE. 
THIS invention, for which Messrs. Long and Hauto, have re- 
cently taken out letters patent, under the authority of the U. States, 
and which they have secured in England, Scotland and Ireland ; 
is offered to the public, as a valuable and cheap substitute for the 
common overshot wheel, in all situations, where there is a scarcity 
of water, with a fall of 25 feet and upwards.
