Patent Bricks.-A spectator who witness ed on Thursday last, the process of making brick by the newly invented machinery, begs leave to communicate, through the medium of your paper the satisfactory result of that experiment. It appears, that from the data furnished by the performance of Thursday, that small steam engine, equal to 16 or IS horses, would be sufficient power for the work of preparing the clay and moulding bricks, at the rate of fifty to sixty thousand per day. Among the advantages attending the new method, it may be observed, that the work is done under cover, and the bricks when formed are ready for the kiln; by which the frequent interruptions that occur from changes of weather, in the usual mode may be entirely avoided.

 This method of manufacturing bricks is be- leved to be the only successful effort ever made, though it has been often tried, to per form by machinery, and without the addition of water, the labor of preparing the clay and moulding the brick. In the common way of proceeding the expense of preparing the clay and drying the bricks, constitutes large por- tion of the whole cost and the saving which is evidently made by the use of this machine ry seems to entitle the invention to high rank among the triumphs of modern genius
