      SCIENCE AND ART . iVi PiAxosPUEsiicAT . Cmtshek . —Wc examined in model and commended Mr . i » clt » eiimn . s "I'liu'vspberical Machine for Crushing , Grinding , and Fulveriz-, ig , "; g / ' Jve . 'ji ' -y p « ' «!"" i :-i in this country and in Europe . Yesterday , at the iiYViYitatiou « i' Messrs . E . & J . Bussing , 32 , Cliff-street , now owners of the ntCiitent , we visited a Ml-sized machine at work at the Block and Saw factory if If Burr , Waterman & Co ., Peck-sliu ferry , Williamsburgh , with another iinqmcli larger lying on the dock near it , on the point of shipment for the Virihiijyia gold region . The machine at work , is of moderate size , said to he uiimniing on four-horse power , and was grinding up flint boulders as large as

      ct cofi ' ee-i-np rapidly and thoroughly . It made no hones of flint , sand-stones p . - w irranite ; while whole bricks were digested by it as if they were oysters in " aiVai ' insuy . The ordinary pace of this four-horse machine was said to he a tun if W libit per hour , though it could be driven much raster , and with adequate i ; ov . ower might be made to double if not treble its execution . Its cost ( notin-¦ ihclndiug power ) is £ 2 , 500 , and it grinds as well dry as wet . Its weight is . four hv : iv live-tons ; we think no piece exceeds two tons . It seems very unlikely to to get out of order and certain to wear out slowly , the grinding surfaces being lith ^ se of tivo-feet spheres or globes of cast iron ( hollow ) running in a grove : n i » a wide cast iron plate , with another likewise fitting from above . —Xeis TorJt

      TiTrmm . GiTf Antiquities . — -For the last two months excavations for foundations sfcf buildings have been making on Tower-hill , close to the fragments of the ioioiil city wull , whicli was given up by the corporation some few years since to " otoepulled down , but winch , owing to the interposition of the Woods and j- 'forests , has been respired up to the present day . This fragment , in the : iiiihaost entire absence , of any other remains of the great wall which once si surrounded the city , is -well worth preserving ; the upper part is probably ^ not older than the time of Henry III ., but the lower is i ' on-. an work . The e : excavations alluded to above revealed some of the original Roman masonry , " « which had been concealed by houses and other buildings . It was in excellent

      ^ preservation , the facing stones quite perfect , and the rows of red tiles ( such sus are usually found in Soman walls ) remained to the extent of two or three 1 layers . Close to this portion of the wail , and piled up to a considerable 1 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 j hi Roman London . Some of these had been foundation stones , others had 1 been portions of cornices , pilasters and columns , and one was the half of a i inillstune in Amiernaeh 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 five feet in length , and at one end it is sculptured to represent a roll of foliage , bound round in the middle hv a band of strings . The other stones are carried off to

      he used , it is feared , for Iniiluing materials , like many similar remains tound in the citv in past years . The want of opportunities for their proper examination is " to be lamented , as one of the larger flat slabs ( upwards of five feet in length ) is inscribed with letters , some of which are 8 Indies in length ; they belong to a sepulchral inscription , of which only three lines ( two of 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 , but , as they are nowWried 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 ? . i ; nt wall at Lincoln , it is being enclosed , and in the course of a few dsvis or weeks will form the side wall of stables .

      P-uxTi . w . ox Porcelain . —In order to assist the class of students for painting on porcelain at the department of Practical Art , the Queen has allowed the finest specimen of old Sevres porcelain to be removed from Buckingham Palace to the museum at Jlarlborough-house . This collection is said to be the finest in Europe . It presents examples of all the triumphs which science and art accomplished in the earlv davs of Sevres , in the production of the turquoise , the royal blue , the rose du Barry , & c , in careful modelling , and in enamel painting . The collection was moved to Marlborough-house , last week , and will be opened to students , manufacturers , and the public , from G'th September till the return of the Court to London . Electric Tijib . —Dr . Erb , professor of astronomy in the University of Hcidelbe ? , has obtained a grant of ground from the corporation of Bamberg , in Bavaria , on which he will proceed to erect a high tower to contain an electric dock , time ball , and other apparatus , by which the cloc-cs ot all the railroads in 0 evmairv will be regulated .

      A IIosuhest to Titian was inaugurated at Venice on the 17 th . L ae civic , ecclesiastical , and military authorities were present at the ceremony , Joe monument represents Titian surrounded bv the Fine Arts ; below arc ngures representing the loth ami 13 th centuries . The basement is adorned with . ive bas-reliefs , representing as manv celebrated paintings of the great artist . The monument is from the chisel of the brothers Zandomeneghi . Axciext Styles of Architecture . —Remembering broadly that the Norman or round-arched stvle in our country belongs more particularly to xie 12 th ccnturv , the earlv English , or lancet , to the 13 th , the decorative to the Hth , and the perpendicular to the 15 th , on seeing one of our old cathedrals or churches von will be able to discriminate the period to winch each oi the

      parts belongs . You will hnd few of them wholly of one age . It ouuuei ., perhaps , when tlie lancet was the Kforle of the day , the nave displays tae approach of the succeeding style , and the tower , which fell , we will say , vjjen lirst erected—and this did occasionally occur—was rebuilt m the completely developed perpendicular style . The external cornice of the nave aisle is ornamented with the ball-flower , you may say , showing with other evuiences that it is in the decorated style , and yet some of the windows in tne i . all beneath have their mullions running from top to bottom , and exaunt , puhaps a horizontal division , or transom , whicn proves to you that tney au pi the perpendicular period , and belong to the next century . But do not let uus , fcliafee your faith in the teaching , for if you were to examine ior her y > a would find that the windows were the insertion of aftc'r-bmluers or rep . aiei —The BuiUkr .
