      PtAKOSPnEBiCAL Crusher . —We examined in model and commended Mr Cochrans •' Planosplierical Machine for Crashing , Grindine , and IVlverizin « z , " recently patented in tins country . and in Europe . Yesterday * at the invitation of lucssrs . E . & J . Bussing , 32 , Cliff-street , now owners ' of the patent , we visited a full-sized machine at work at the Block and Saw factory of Bnrr , Waterman & Co ., Peck-slip ferry , Williamshurgh , with another much larger lying on the dock near it , on the point of shi pment for the Virjriuia gold region . The machine at work is of moderate size , said to be running on four-horse power , and was grinding up flint boulders as I . u ^ e as a coffee-cup rapidly and thoroughly . It made no hones of flint sand-stones

      , » r granite ; while whole bricks were digested by it as if they wew , oysters in January . The ordinary pace of this four-horse machine was said toll ' s a tun of flint per hour , though it could he driven much faster , and with adequate power might be made to double if not treble its execution . Its cost ( notineludiug power ) is £ 2 , 500 , and it grinds as well dry as wet . . Its weight is four or five tons ; we think no piece exceeds two tons . It seems very unlikely to get out of order and certain to wear out slowly , the grinding surfaces bein '» - those of two-feet spheres or globes of cast iron ( hollow ) running in -A grove ina wide cast iron plate , with another likewise fitting from above . —A \ w York Tribune .

      City Antiquities . —For the last two months excavations for fourtiatior-s of buildings have been making on Tower-hill , close to the fragments of the fill ! city wall , which was given up by the corporation some few years sine . " to Leinuied down , but which , owing to the interposition of the Woods and Forests , has been respited up to the present day . This fragment , in the almost entire absence of any other remains of the great wail wlii . ' -h once surrounded the city , is well worth preserving ; the upper part is probably not older than the time of Henry 111 ., but the lower is Roman work The excavations alluded to above revealed some of the original Roman imsonrv which had been concealed by houses and other buildings . It was in excellent preservation , the lacing stones quite perfect , awl the rows of red tiles ( such as are usually found in Roman walls ) remained to the extent of two or three layers . Close to this portion of the trail , and jiiled up to a considerable height , was a mass of cut and sculptured stones , which at some remote period had formed part of one or more buildings of magnitude such , as abound in Koraan London . Some of these had been foundation stones , others had

      been yortu ) . ; soi cornices , pilasters and columns , and one was the half of a millstone in Anuemaeh lava . The most attractive of these stones ( for it appears the trustees of the British Museum have been induced to accept it ) had originally formed part of a composition of very elegant design . It is \\ v e feet in length , aisd at one end it is . sculptured to represent a rolfoi" foliage , bound round in the middle by a band of strings . The other stones are carric d off to he used , it ! : ¦; feared , for building materials , like manv similar remains found in the city in past years . The want of opportunities " for their proper examination is to be lamented , as one of the larger fiat . slabs ( upwards of i ' . ve feet in length ) is inscribed with letters , some of which are 9 inches in leugtl >; they belong to a sepulchral inscription , of which only three lines ( two o ! them incomplete ) remain . It is extremely probable that at least' other portions of the inscription are upon some of the stones found with this inscribed one , kit , as they arc now carried away from Tower-hill , there is but little hope of their being examined . With respect to the wall , it will certainly be preserved , for , like the Mint wall at Lincoln , it is being enclosed , and in the course of a few davs or weeks will form the side wall of stables .

      P-mktisg o : < Pokcelai . v . —In order to assist the class o student ? , fee painting « i porcelain at the department of Practical Art , ti ; c Queen has flowed the ihicst specimen of old Sevres porcelain to be removed from Buclcingh .-nn Palace to the museum at MaTlborough-hor . se . This ^ collection is said to be the finest in Europe . It presents examples of all the triumphs which science and art accomplished in the early days of Sevres , in the production of the turquoise , the royal blue , the rose dit Barry , && , in careful modelling , and in enamel painting . The collection was moved to Marlborough-housc , la-st week , aud will be opened to students , manufacturers , and the public , from 6 th September till the return of the Court to London . Ei , ectbic Time . —Dr . 1 M > , professor of astronomy in the University of lleidelbeg , has obtained a grant of ground from the corporation of Ba :-nbwg in Bavaria , on which he will proceed to erect a high tower to con t ain an electric clock , time hall , awl other apparatus , "by which the clocks of ail the railroads in Germany will be regulated .

      A Monument to Titian was inaugurated at Venice on the 17 th . The civic , ecclesiastical , and military authorities were present at the ceremony , The monument represents Titian surrounded by the Vine Arts ; below are r ; giires representing the 15 tli and 19 tli centuries . The hasement is adorned with five bas-reliefs , representing as many celebrated paintings of the great nxi ' izt . The monument is from the chisel of the brothers Zandomeneghi . Aj : ciest Stylus of Architecture . —Tic-roeuYbering broadly that thc $ Norman or round-arched style in our country belongs more particularly to the l' 2 th century , the early English , or laivet , to the 13 th , the decorative to the 14 th , and the perpendicular to the loth , on seeing one of our old cathedrals or churches you will be able to discriminate the iwriod to which each of the

      parts belongs . You will find few of them wholly of one age . Founded , perhaps , when the lancet was the style of the day , the nave displays the approach of the succeeding style , and the tower , which fell , we will say , when first erected—and this did occasionally occur—was rebuilt in the completely developed perpendicular style . The external cornice of the nave aisle is ornamented with the fcall-floVer , you may say , showing with other evidences , that it is in the decorated style , and yet some of the windows in the wall beneath have their mullions running from top to bottom , and exhibit ^ perhaps a horizontal division , or transom , vrtricn proves to you that they are cf the perpendicular period , and belong to the next century . But do not let this shake your faith in the teaching , for if you were to examine for her you would find that the windows -were the insertion of after-builders or renairer . —The Balder .
