ArMosPHERiC RAILRoAD.-A bill has been passed by the U s. Senate authorizing the South Carolina Railroad Company to import free of duty, he pipes and machinery necessary for the erection o about a miles length of the Atmospheric Railway which has been in, ented in England. When the bill was under cons deration-

 Mir. STURGEON said that he wished for informa- ton upon the subject. The mechanics and astizans of the United States celebrated for their six ill., and he supposed quite equal the production of any machinery winch could he wanted. He did not see the necessity for exoneration from the payment of duty in aid of the importation of machinery from Eng land.

 Mir. EVANS replied that he could perhaps supply the information sought by ihe Senator from Pennsy mia. This bill had relation to a late invention in England for the application of atmospheric pressure as propelling power railroads The pipes and machinery could not he made here, and probably, by any body else beside the inventor in EngIand.- The invention had been proved 10 be we'll adapted to short dslances but il had yet been sufficiently tested long ones If introduced into this country it might lead to extension oi our knowledge, and prove of service not only mechanics and arti- zans, but to the proprietors of iron works, and all who were interested in the consumption of that ma teria There was a part of the South Carolina railroad winch well adapted for giving fair trial of this principle.

 The bill was then ordered ts be ingrossed for a third reading, and was subsequently passed.
