We publish to day, the list of Steam Engines in and adjacent to our city, which Mr. Church politely handed us a few days ago. —There were two others, Wainright's and Fisk's, mentioned in this statement, but as neither their power, nor their consumption of coals, nor the purposes to which their power is applied, were mentioned, we have not included them in the list. There may be, and probably are, some others, in the city and adjacent to it, not embraced in this statement; and in the county we know that there are many more. Will some of our friends have the goodness to forward to us information about any which they know of not mentioned in our paper to-day?
