From the New York Times, July 3.J ifnrtner rrarticuiars in relation to the Keely motor have been given to a reporter vi iuc lines oy air. sergeant, or the firm of Sergeant A-Cuttingworth. of this tit-. According to the statements of this gentle man, the newly-discovered power is in evitably destined to revolutionize the entire mechanical world and render possible, and even easy, feats which seem now bevond the power of the most perfect machinery in the world. - "WHAT IS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED. Guns are to be fired by Hie same power that drives the ship that carries them, ex plosions are to be rendered comparatively barm less; engines of 5,000-horsc power are to be constructed so as to occupy no more space than nn ordinary steam-engine, and all tho marvels which are accomplished by steam are to be performed with infinitely greater ease by the cold vapor evolved from air and water .The wildest dreams of the Arabian, story-teller seem commonplace when compared with the marvels that are promised in this newly-discovered force of Nature, it the statements of a well-known business man ot good standing, and oi high repute as a scientific inventor, are to receive the credence that would he given to them on any iilier subject. All the diOi Gtilties naturally to be expected in learning the use of so tremendous an agency have beeu encountered in the experiments that have been made with this. New tools have been made with which the parts of a liew engine are being fashioned for the use Of the motive power. Metal has been made especially for its construction. A new scientific vocabulaty has been ttslft fooed to express theopem lions hitherto un known in mechanics, and nerfi-ct Kinross has attended the experiments made thus . . THE OPINION OF AS EXPERT. . Air. sergeant says: "One year ago to day I began an investigation into the pow ers aim )ruien.ie oi wnat IS tei meu tne Keely motor. I was at first an utter skep tic, knowing that the things which were Claimed for it were utterly onoosed to all my scientific teachings, and that, according iubii umi wh Known on me stioject. the claims of Mr. Keclv were arrantlv absurd But I had some curiosity on the snbject. ana, wing appiieu to oy a nuuioer or per sons, some of whom were pecuniarily in terested In Hie discovery, and ajl ot whom desired a careful investigation to be made. I determined to go to Philadelphia and examine it as an expert, Tliey offered to pay my expenses while I did this but J preferred to nay them myself, and I did so Mr. Keely claimed that he was able by the utilization ot a power coming Irom tne con sumption oi air ana water, to produce a pressure of thousands of Dound to the eqnare inch, and do it imme-fiately, almost instantaneously. 1 was incredulous, and the surroundings made me still more so. 1 said to Mr. Keely that in the introduction of all the great inventions or discoveries of wnicn I naa ever heard, the discoverer had had great trouble to persuade people to listen to him, and greater yet to persuade any one to invest money "in the novelty. But here this was reversed. People were investing money in something of which they knew nothing except what he chose to say about it. That of itself looked snspic- ions to me, and the extravagant stories which he told convinced me of the fallacy of believing him. He was very jealous of ms secret, lie wouia not for a Jong time admit me to see what he was doing that I might investigate the matter. It was only after a strong pressure bad been brought to bear on him that he consented to do as much as let me see him wor. and when this was at length accomplished by the intervention of his friends who were inter ested in the Invention, ho had in the room mai named Beekel, whojias worked for mm for a number of years, who would be 2- u0.tS,Ut''' "need be, that on such a SJL (K,eely; had exhibited 'his invention kLfl,-" f F1 wa ,lUi anxiety to we tik?icr?t t'lHt the stockholders Si,1.?1 fhe room while we were closed V , unse. coming to the doors, knocked, and was answered htd" h onkL in t m. the ot thousand nfZLV ., Jne 1101 a Pressure PonXt tha JSuaUM1 fif h'dred medlatelY. ?.i, K1'' Produced im- tcw invStioS? hJ "eve that be liad a .pnJ onee a founded.

Bat IBvestigatlon until I ' continued mv FOUND NO BOOM FOB AVT FtJBTHER BOilBT "I did more. After being with Mr. Keelv tot a long enough time to solve all mv doubts, I went, away and consulted with others. I went especially to one man whose name' wets! be instantly recoguized, li I should tell it as that of a scientist known all over the ooancry. He was a skeptic, as I bad been. I told him whatt I bad' seen.. Xla heard me through, and told me I must be deceived; that Mm Keely was using some chemical ot- whloa he kept me in iSTsoranee.. He thought at first from my descriptions that" it was carboline,: or a vapor from it, and, at my request, be pro duced a jet of tiat V.ipor. I allowed the Jet to play npon my hand and found that it wos-oid a to produce a stinging sen- SMtion. I said. 'This is not Keely's vapor. That i pleasant to llm touclh1 i smelied of tlie carboline vapor and it was utterly unlike-Keely V. for the enrhoHnc had a scent about it which Keely's had not, although the Professor said the carboline could be produced with scarcely a trace ot the scent. Jiut I have swallowed all I could get ot Keely's vapor, and I find it is pleassmt. You can live on it. I asked the Professor, if the carboline vapor was capable of con densation by s mple exnansion. Ifn s.ii,i no, and I knew it was not Keely's, for that is condensed by simple expansion. It turns back to water, and that water 1 can drink. After each conversation with the Prolessor, in which lo would tell me that I was deceived in this thing or that I would go back to Mr. Keely and watch and study his operations until 1 knew I was not deceived. At length he allowed me to ?.! i i'S md,I"1'-y myself, ana I f,,,,,,,! i could lo as he did; and the machinery for prixlncing this vapor is so simple that a child Syeaw old could woi kin. DECEPTION WAS 1MTOSSIBLE under such circumstances. pons nnu statement of those who know nothing about the matter, 'have contained tne roost absurd statements, it has bet-r asserted that we do not know the difference between pressure and p.wcr; licit we claim to have a pcr)elua-motioti machine; that we pretend to make something out of nothing, and many similnr things are put forth by persons who ought to know better than to assert such thins in relation to il.n men Yiio are connected motor, llie" assei tio the difTerence U-tween pressure and power i sufiicieiitiy answered by the reputation- of the hrtn of which I am a niemtier. It is ma naeiy mat we couiu D:ive obtained that reputation if we were so ignoiant of the very principles involved In tho work we do. a perpetual-motion machine is one that makes its own power. One that does not make its own power cannot be a perpetual-motion machine. Xow. Keely pre tends to do no such thing as that. On the contrary, Mr. Keely's claim is entirely dif ferent, lie claims to produce from the consumption of air and water cold vapor capable of condensation by simple expan sion. and which contains jiowcr enouHi to produce a pressure of 20,000 or 30.000 pounds to the squ.-ire inch. It is admitted that no cold vapor capable of condensation by simple expansion can be produced by chemicals, but I know Hint hv Keely's method it can be produced, for I hive pro tinccd it, and condensed it in just that way, and have drauk the water produced by the condensation. The Professor to w hom 1 have alluded, when I told hint that I had drank the water so produced,, said -Oh, vou are deceived.' He thought that Keelv had substituted the water which I had drank in a surreptitious manner. I went back to Keely and tried it again to be sure that I had not. been d.celvcd in that manner, and I convinced myself that I had not. As to the idea that Keely claims to produce something from nothing it is absurd, lor iu i im ju-t wnat lie Uoi-s not claim to do lie claims to have WsCOVEKEH ONE OP THE LAWS OF K.VTCEE by which this vapor can be produced. "When I talk to the scientist about a pressure of 10.000 pounds to the square inch they are iiici-ednious. bin I have seen it at 13,500, and I have weighed it, so that I know there is no mistake. We are now having a gauge made by which we can weigh it up to 50,000 pounds. One of the ditliculties in our wav has been that we have not handled the thing at the ivat pressures at which it can be used. Jt takes tune to make all the experiments needed, and. although we are pursuing them as rapidly as possible, we cannot do every Vi , "e-nave uca it tip to lS.oOO pounds pressure, and are going on as fast as we can. There is one hindrance. We ui) not know what we can cover with our letters patent. We cannot, of course cover a natural law by a patent, and what we can cover we must describe so fully that any person expert in such matters tan do the same thing from our description in ortler that he may know when and how he infringes on our patents. This we have not yet been able to do, because we have not yet used it at tho heavy pressures at .which it can be used. We" know that it will produce 250 T131ES TIIE rRESSCRE THAT 5TEAM WILL, and in order to control this agency wo mu.-t have engines of Austrian gun-tm t il Hie engine we use 13 a; regular yacht en gine, with a pair of a by .f cylinders, aud capable of working under a pressure of from 500 to 1,500 pouncU to the inch on the" piston, but the engiiie we are construct ing will lie capable of working under the i tremendous pressure we"ihall produce.

Hut even it there should be an explosion, which conld only come f.-om some defect in construct ion, there would be no danger, excepting from some flying piece, which might do damage, ofcourec. In explosion of a steam-boiler the destruction is caused by the sudden and marvelous increase or pressure which e curs at tne moment of explosion. This is not understood scientifically, but the fa remains that when a boiler explodes under a pressure of 30 or 40 pounds, at the instant of the exDlosion there will be a pre3.ure.of iu.uuu pounds on tne sudden n Deration of the steam, and it Is this which causes the damage winch results. A ow. wklr5 the Keely motor, it is entirely different. Sun- posing there should be, from soue defect in tho machinery, an explosion, and the motor suuuen iv noeriteci. Uv - its expan sion it wouia oe condensed to water, and no damage would be done. "The Keelv motor not onlv will do the work of steam, but is applicable to all pur poses for which gunpowder is used aud is FAR SUPERIOR TO GUNPOWDER or any other explosive known. We have a rifle from which we have fired hundreds of bullets with it, and these experiments have demonstrated its superiority to gun powder. It is well understood that the forces of the gasses generated by the ex plosion of powder lessens as the ball trav els on its way through the barrel, and that me oarrei were long enough, a partial vacuum would be foiinu behind the ball, ihe study of the snbject has led to the ex- Ki " .

Siwne of our worthy eolored brctJircn ot the Uaptist )crsnasioii had a bnrp tism iown at the creek last Sunday, and the ceremony attracted a very lare ciovvd of jeople. Iiirs. Pitman's coll ed servant girl was very a xiotis to be present, and, as it was not her Sunday out, he flipped away from-the house wliile the dinner was eookinj;, and. went around in her woiking clothes. Ller interest was so intense that she rtood cloe to the minister, who was in the" water, while the ceremony proceeded After mx or seven had been dipped,. the clergyman, filled with emhusiasm, seizetl her and puled her hiUr the water, fcte resisted, but the minister imagined that she was nieivly afraid ot tlie coldness of me water, so, before she could explain tlie situation he soused her. She came np spluttering, ami exclaimed: "What you doh'? Lemnie go, I tell yon!" ; I3ut he exerteil his strength a- d sent her ker-cliuek lielow the surface again.

Then slve came up and; struck for the shore, and landing there, looking like a draggled mermaid cut in ebony, she shook her fist at the astonished pastor aud shrieked: i " Oh, I'll fix you I I'll bust the head ofien you, or'nary tiasb, sonsen' mo in dat dare and nearly drownded me, when yon knowed well enough all de time dat I'se a Methodist, and bin crissened by dem dat's yer betters, and knows mure about religion den all de Kaptisses dat eber shouted, you mis'blo blac-t scum!

On that day the 0urt of Queen's Bench sat in judgment for the last time, after an existence of a thousand years, having been aboliwtied at that date by the Judicature Act of Parliament of 1870. The "Coftrt of the King before the King' himself" coram ipso rege was the most ancient of all British tribunals, older ttian Parliament itself, and can be traced back in substance and character, and in , the essence of its jurisdiction, to tlie time of Alfred, about ten centuries ago.

A number of our oldest citizens, includ tnir John JNeal. Judze Howard. T. C Hersey, and others were riding up home iu the street cars, about 6 p. M.. as is their wont, when two young roughs, prehaps twenty-two or twenty-tnree years oi age. jumped on the front piatiorm of the car. one of them puffing away at a villainous cigar. The front door was opeu and the clouds of smoke rolling in the car almost choked the occupants. At last one of the older genlleineu could stand it no longer, aud so remarked, at which one of the others touched the smoker, saying that the smoke was very offensive to him, and that the rules of the company did not permit smoking on tne cars. i o tins appeal the man paid no more attention llwn if he had Deen a statue.
