In a corner of one of the rooms was a working model of a new locomotive engine patented by Mr. Parsey, and at present exhibiting at No. 5, Pall Mall East, the offices of the Compressed Air Engine Company. The principle of the machine is the compression of air into two large globular chambers by means of a small engine; and directing this air, at its escape, to the working of the wheels. As far as we could judge from the model, the invention promises to be one of very great importance, occasioning an enormous saving in fuel, and being wholly free from any danger of explosion. Mr. Goadby exhibited some of his beautiful preparations, preserved in the well-known fluid discovered by him, and mounted in little glass boxes. His nautilus is an elegant
