The means by which wood and iron could he preserved from premature decay, has long . been a subject of anxious attention— Charing and the Anti-corrosives hitherto used having been found totally inefficient. This desirable object has at length been attained by the disco very of a mineral substance, from which the Varnish Paint now of fered to public notice is manufactured. For all ont-door Buildings, Park, and other Fences, whether of Wood or Iron, for Machinery, Agricultural Implements, Hot Houses, Piles for Bridges, Dock and Canal Gates, &c. &c., it hat proved its durability superior to all other compositions. For Ships, Yachts, and Boats, and all submarine purposes, it will also be eatabd to possess valuable resisting properties both to Animal and e- . table adhesions. le advantage in this material is the ease with which it can be used with a common paint brush. It requires neither heating nor any other preperation. To be had at the Manufactory, Ordnance-wharf, Rotherhithe ; of Mr. W. Powell, Chappell-place, Edgeware-road ; J. Kite, Macclesfield Wharf, New North-road; I'. Jennings, King-street, Rotherhithe ; W. Hull, Putney ; Wm. Smith, Clapham ; and of W. Upton and Co., 64, Queen-street, Cheapside, near the Bridge.

Dr. Franklin, on the appearance of the first balloons, observed that this new offspring o f the sciences should be carefully NI , atched in its infancy, in the expectation of deriving advantage from it in a Istate of maturity. It is looked upon at the present day with indifference, and considered only as an object of curiosity, reserved for the pomp of fetes. That, however, was not the view taken when the first aeros tatic experiments were made. The memoir of Men -1 nier upon this subject was never printed, but Colonel Coutelle, an old officer, who had the management of the military balloons during the Republican revolution of France, gave the public, in 1826, an analysis of it. A notice of it appeared in the Revue Encyclopedique, from which we extract the following remarks : " Meunier, in his researches respecting balloons, pro : posed nothing less than to make these machines capa ble of accomplishing long and distant voyages ; he therefore calculated the best mesms of making them strong enough to stand the shock of various cur rents which agitate the atmosphere. He project ed the power of throwing out anchors, of rising to the elevation which might be necessary, of moving through the air in a tranquil state, and of modifying the direction and velocity of the machine. As the envelopes which formed balloons could not be made impenetrable to hydrogen, it became necessary to find the means of preserving the gas, and of supplying the deficiency occasioned by its escape. After finding, Satisfactory answers to his scientific inquiries, it re mained to ascertain the form and dimensions of a balloon capable of transporting, in addition to its rigging, a crew for the necessary manceuvres, the navigators, and their instruments, and a quantity of provisions proportioned to the duration of a long navigation through regions in which nothing could be i found for the support of the travellers. In short, he projected the construction of *an air-balloon- with the ' power required. This able mechanic overcame nearly all the difficulties in his way by the invention of a second envelope to his balloon. This addition pro cured him the means of resisting the violence of )vinds, the facility of mounting and descending, and of keep ing at the desired elevation, in short, he avoided the loss of hydrogen gas, or rendered the effect of so little importance, that it might be neglected without incon venience. These results, so important, were entirely dependent on the managers of the balloon. " The hydrogen," says the author, " is contained in a balloon of silk, plastered with caoutchouc (gum elastic). This envelope must be as light as possible, and greater than the volume of gas it is to contain. The second envelope is also of silk, more 'expansive than the balloon, and fortified upon the exterior by a net. It should be impenetrable to the compressed at mospheric air, because it is well known that this fluid is confined with less difficulty than the hydrogen. It is plastered like the balloon, and capable of resisting the more weighty pressure of air. They leave between the two envelopes a 'space for the use we shall describe. A tube, made of the same sort of• silk, is made to communicate frcm this envelope with a pump in the gondola or car. By the means of this pump they can condense the air between the two envelopes, and dimi nish the volume of hydrogen, and also augment the specific gravity of the fluid in the balloon. Thus, when the aeronauts are at a great height, in order to descend they have only to work the . pump. The atmospheric air introduced between the envelopes finds its way into the balloon, which in that pro cess can only maintain its equilibrium in a denser atmosphere, and consequently it descends. By this process the gas is secured, which can only serve once if let out to descend. If they wish to rise again, they have only to open a valve and let out the atmos pheric air detained between the two envelopes. To descend they recommenced the compression of air. To move horizontally in tranqUil air, Meunier employed no other force than the arms of the crew. The author ' of the fifenzoire invented oars inclined like the sails of a windmill, fixed to an horizontal axis, which the crew turned. This mechanism procured but a slow movement, something less than a league an honr. It could be of little use, unless it became the means of directing the balloon during its ascensional process into a current of air, which would carry the aeronauts to wards the point of destination. He had no project for carrying the balloon to the place of destination by the action of oars alone. We see, in this attempt, that the mechanist began his task upon the principles of geometry. His object was to give stability to the balloon, and make all the parts of the machine capa ble of meeting the difficulties it had to resist in mov ilia- through the air." r• Monge, another mathematician, taking advantage of the means projected by Meunier for mounting and de scending with great rapidity, conceived the possibility of drawing from a vertical Movement, that of horizontal translation. Meunier, like our countryman Green, employed only one balloon for transporting all his tra vellers. Monge divided them in no less than twenty five small balloons, each retaining a spherical figure instead of the elliptical form chosen by Meunier. Monge attached his balloons one to the other, so that in mounting they presented a flexible assemblage, sus ceptible of being developed in a right line or curve. This system of globes rising and descending with the rapidity which the aeronauts calculated upon would have imitated in the air the movement of the serpent or eel in the water. It is a subject of regret that this illustrious geometrician did not try experiments founded upon his first ideas, and submit his plan to calculation. The rest of Meunier's Memoir is devoted to details of execution and calculation of expenses, matters which do not excite the curiosity of the reader, but which, in fact, often cost the author more labour than all the rest of his plan. The balloons proposed by Meunier would have been expensive, but that might have been overlooked. They are dear articles at the present day, consequently in the first experiments for the establish ment of an invention of high importance, a little ex pense could not be said to be useless, In some matters of public utility it may be necessary to shut our eyes and onen our purses. BALLOON TELEGRAPHS. After the violent storms of the revolution had ceased, and learned men were no longer in dread of being dragged to the scaffold, they began to breathe ; hope revived, and they saw an opening in the future. They calculated tile time when France might be happy and free , but liberty was only to b e o gained by victory. Europ e in arms,_ denied l the Fren c h nation those rights wh ich they clannu, and whi c h belonged to the people. The organization of the army, providing for its wants , c oncerting operati ons , t h e establishment of safe and rapid correspondence, and, in short, all th at could contribute to p u blic safety, then occupied the mind of almost ev ery Frenchm an . Among st other inventions , they proposed movea b le telegraphic li nes , a nd signals w ere stationed on points proper for the protection of the nation. Air balloons were considered the most effectual means of raising s ignals to an elevation at which they might no twithstanding the interpo s iti on be seen, 0 objects which intercept the view, woods and all the i with high mountain s ; but theyn countries covered anceuvre, and make required persons to m commutncations. The employed, though sim o e , 1,. were perhaps not the they became useless •means in stroll , * ales ofwind, best and by the failure of one b signal post o the whole ielegr a p hi q zte line was reduced to silence.

On Saturday night, about nine o'clock, a circumstance occurred at our Post-office which had nearly proved fatal i t i o ijur on y e individual, and might have b een p ro d uc ti ve o f se v er e to many, if the full intention of the contriver of the wickedness had taken effect, though who were the intended victim s it is impossible to say. 'We need not inform our commercial readers, that letters fbr foreign countries require that the postage should be paid, or they are never for warded, but, instead, are sent to the Dead Letter Office, in London, there to be stamped, opened, and returned, if practicable, to the writers. On Saturday night, a number of letters of this descriptio n , which had remained in our Post-office beyond the regular period, were handed over to a man, named Barnard, for the purpose of being stamped, previously to being forwarded to London by the mail. Amongst these was a bundle, containing seven letters, all directed in the same hand, and in the Spanish language, to official personages at Havana. The stamp is a heavy steel implement, with which the let ter is struck with some violence. He had got through all the letters but this particular bundle, and they had been removed as he operated upon them. He also mot safely through the first four of these, but in striking the fifth, the percussion produced an explosion which shook the whole building. Every clerk in the office, even those at the greatest distance, was stunned, and one who stood within a few yards of the spot was thrown violently to the ground. When they recovered, in some measure, from the shock, they looked round for the poor man, Barnard. The floor around him was completely covered with the tattered frag ments of the letters, for all the remaining three had ex ploded, and he lay upon the floor, bleeding and insen sible. He was found to have been shockingly injured ; his hands being torn almost asunder, and portions of the flesh and skin peeled from them. His face was completely denuded of the skin, and one of his eyes was forced backwards with such violence, that its use as an organ of vision is lost irrevocably. The thumb-nail of the left hand was torn off, and, what is more extraordi nary, was shot through the left cheek. The poor man is in a very dangerous state, though hopes are entertained of his recovery. The bag which contained the other four letters, having already been made up, it was despatched by the mail during the consternation incident to the disaster. Mr. Banning instantly forwanied an express to the General Post.office, informing the parties there of what had oc curred, and warning them to be careful how they opened these letters.' It is to be hoped that they may be found to contain some clue which will lead to the discovery of the contrivers of a scheme so diabolical. The explosion was so violent that it put out all the lights and blew out five panes of glass.—Liverpool Albion. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. VESSELS ENTERED INWARDS AT THE CtfS. TOM-HOUSE, SEPT. 26.
