MR. H. C. C. NEWMAN’s (SAINT CHRIS- 
TOPHERS), for his Invention of a Cattle 
Mill, jor expressing the Juice of the 
Sugar-cane. 
This mill may be described as a ring 
or circle of hard wood, stone, or cast- 
iron, either raised on arches or other- 
wise, or sunk below the surface of the 
ground, which is to be in the centre of 
the ring, or circle. On the spindle of 
the mill is a cog-wheel, and other appa- 
ratus; the whole is moved by one or 
more horses to be harnessed to a pole, 
which pole has a collar in which a lever 
turns, and thus, by a new construction, 
position, combination, and connection of 
the axis in peritrochio, the leverand lan- 
tern wheel or pinion put together like 
oue sue and compact body, they all re- 
Meee together with:two distinct motions, 
viz. a rotatofy, one on their own axis, and 
a = rogressive circumvolnti tionary one on 
the circle, constantly acting upon and 
impelling the cog-wheel and spindle by 
their united powers and combined actions.

Sor anew Method of regulating or equa- 
lizing the Force or Power of the Main- 
spring in Watches, 
This invention is accomplished by in- 
troducing 2 minor spring to be wound up 
‘by the major or main-spring at certain 
periods. As the wheeis revolve, the pins 
placed in a small circle, force up at cer- 
tain periods, according to the number of 
pins inserted, a lever which is connected 
with the detent or small pallet, and there- 
by unlock a quarter piece which covers 
the minor spring, and the lever is brought 
again to its proper place by the pressure 
of the spring. ‘This operation causes the 
main-sprivg to wind up the minor spring, 
and administers an equal impelling power 
to move the'train of wheels.
