It is com puted that the steam po we of Great Britain, not including the labor economized by the enginery jt puts in motion," performs annu ally the work of a thousand men. In other words the steam engine adds to the human population of Great Britain another population,-one million strong. Strong it may well be cailedi What a population ! so curiously organized, that they need neith er luxuries nor Gomfort,-ithat they have neither vices nor sorrows-subject to an absolute control without despotism, labor ing flight or day for their owners? without the crimes and woes of slavery ; a frugal, population, that wastes nothing and con sumes nothing improductively ; an orderly population, to which mobs and "riots arc unknown; among which the peace is kept .1. x ! wuaoui police, courts, prisons, or bayonets ; and annually lavishing the products of one million pairs of hands, to increase the com forts of the fifteen or twenty millions of the human population. And vet the steam en gine, which makes this mighty addition to the resources of civilization, is but a piece of machinery. You all have seen it, both in miniature and on a working scle, at the halls. In the i miniaturf? model, (construct ed by Mr. JNewcomb Ot Salem,) it can be moved by the breath of the most delicate pair of lips in this assembly ; and it could easily be constructed of a size and power, of our frame, is turned to little account ft which would rend these walls from .their human impiovement and happiness, for foundation, and pile the root in ruins upon want of those nrt? which crpate. comhine. 1 us-- And yet it is but a machine. There is a cylinder and a piston ; there are tubes, valvest.and pumps, water and a vessel to boil it in. This'is the whole of that cit- ground, and it was raised by hands as feeble (this superior training of his natural facilities as these; The unaided force of the muscles j and senses,but from his possession of some of the human hand is insufficient to break a ifew imperfect arts.

Three mile3 an hour, 'for a considerable space of time, and' with ample intervals for recreation, food, and sleep, are the extreme limit of the locomotive capacity of the strongest frame, and this confined to the land. The arts step in: by the application of one por tion of tbem to the purposes of navigation, man is wafted, night and day, alike waking and sleeping, at the rate of eight or ten miles an hour, over, the unfathomed ocean ; and, by tlie combination of another portion of the arts, he flies at the rate; of fifteen or twenty miles an hour, and if need be, with twice that rapidity, without moving a muscle, from city to city. The capacity of imparting thought, by intelligible 'signs, to the minds of other - men, the canacitv which lies at the foundation of all social improvements, while unaided by artwas confined within the limits of oral communi cation and memory. The voice of wisdom perished, not merely with the sage by "iivui 11 waa uncieu, uui wuii inti very breath of air on which it was borne.

T 44 It is wholly impossible to calculate the quantity of labor economized by all the machinery which the steam engine puts In motion. Mr. Baines states, that the spin ning machinery of Great Britain, tended by one hundred and, fifty thousand workmen, produces as much yarn as could have been produced by forty millions of men with the one thread wheel ! " Dr. Buek- land remarks, that it has been , supposed that the amount of work now done by ma chinery in England is equivalent to that of between three and four hundred millions of men by direct labor. ' ' Consider the influence on the affairs of men, rn all their relations, of the invention of the little machine which I hold in my hands ; and other modern instruments for the measurement of time, various spec! mens of which are on exhibition in ihe halls. 10 say nothing of the importance of an accurate measurement of time in as tronomical observations, -nothing of the J appplicatlon of time-keepers to the purpo- ises oi navigation, now vast musi De the watch which was worn on the 8th of September, 1755, j)y the unfortunate Baron Dieskau, who received his" mortal wound on that (lay Tr near, Iak Geo ifge, at tlie head of his arrify; of French, andIndians, on tire bre'aking rnit of tlie,seven years' van Jrhis watch , w hich marked! th e - fierce , Jfe verish moments,of tlie battle las calmly as it had! uuue jluk wurscurttv years wnicn nave since, elapsed, is still going ; but the watch-maker and baron have now for more than three fourths of a century been gone, where time is no longer counted. Frederic the Great was another and a vastly . more,. important personage of the same war. His watch was carried away from Potsdam by Napoleon, wof on his rock in mid-ocean, was wont to ponder on the hours; of alternate disaster; and.tfiumph, which 'filled up the life of his great fellaw-destroyer, and had been equally counted on its dial-plate The courtiers used to say, that this watch stopped o its own accord, when Frederic died. . Short sighted adulation ! for if it stopped at his death, as if time was no; longer woith meas uring, it was soon put in. motion, and went on; as if nothing had happened. Portable watches were probably; introduced in Eng land in ihe time - of Shakespeare ; aud he puts one into the hand iof his fantastic iest- er, as the text of his morality. In truth, if . i - i .- - - . i we wisned to oorrow trpm the arts a solemn monition of vanity of human things, the clock might well give it to us.

However vast his dressed Buffalor skin, his hollowed tree or bark canoe, his bow and arrow, his tent and his fishing gear, would be a much more abject being. And these - simple in ventions, and the tools and skill required by them, no doubt occupied a considerable period in the early history of our race. But the great difference between savage and civilized life consists in the want of those more improved arts, the products of which we have been contemplating by which no inconsiderable quantity of human power and skill can be transferred to inanimate tools and machinery, and perpetuated in them; the arts wherebv the grasp of the hand, which soon wearies, can be transfer red to the iron gripe of the vice, the clamp, the bolt, that never tire ; the arts by which stone, and metal, nd leather, and wood, may-be rhade-to perform the offices of poor flesh and bone. The savage, when he has parched his corn, puts it in a rude rribrtaf, which with infinite toil he has scooped out of a rock, and laboriously pounds it into meal. ' It is much, if, in this' way, he can prepare food enough to keep him alive while he is preparing it. -The civilized man, when he has raised his corn, builds" a mill with a water-wheel, and sets the indefatigable stream to erindinsr his grain. There" are long periods of time for its discoverv ' and j -j'imcauon,; it devised a method of im printing on a. material substance an intelli gible sign, not; of things, but of sounds forming the names of things; in other words, it invented the A B C.
