RECENT events have awakened so general a feeling of the momentous importance of securing protection from fire to Deeds, Records, M.SS., Books and Papers of Ac compt, Cash, Gunpowder, and all combustible materials, that THOS. MILNER and SON feel excused in again in viting public notice to their Patent Fire-resisting Deposito ries. Having submitted their one-chambered Boxes, of one inch in thickness, to severe trials in the principal towns, they have received from the authorities of each the most satisfac tory certificates of their efficiency for ordinary casualties; and being confirmed in opinion by a long course of experi ment, that, under suitable modification of chambers and thickness of boxes, the peculiar principle of their Patent is capable of affording security under the severest ordeal likely to occur in calamities of the kind, they respectfully solicit the consideration of Gentlemen interested in mechanical science to the subject generally, and investigation into the pretensions of the various means of security in use, their own amongst the rest. M. and S. are prepared to submit their manufactures to public trial with any others of equal dimensions, whilst their comparatively moderate cost renders them extensively avail able. _ _ The certificate of the satisfactory trial of their Boxes in Liverpool bears the signatures of the following Gentlemen, to whom permission of reference is kindly given,— THOMAS BOLTON. Esq., (ex-Mayor,) JOHN SHAW LEIGH, Esq., (the Mayor,) Sir THOMAS BRANCKER, BARTHOLOMEW PRESCOT, Esq., L. GRAHAM, Esq., R. FRODSHAM, Esq., WM. STOCK, Esq•. S. WOODS, jun., Esq. The more recent one below will be interesting to Ship owners and Builders, Gunpowder-dealers, &c., and is further confirmatory of the capabilities of the principle : Trial of Milner's Patent Fire -Resisting Principle, as a Protection of Gunpowder from Fire. Liverpool, June 20th, 1842. We have this day witnessed the trial of one of Milner's Patent Fire-proof Double-celled Gunpowder Magazines, of twelve inches external, and six inches internal diameter and height, filled with highly combustible materials, papers, and a packet of Gunpowder. The same was placed in the centre of a fire consisting of five to six cwt. of coal and a quantity of wood, and remained therein upwards of three hours, during two-thirds of which time the magazine was surrounded by a complete furnace of intense heat. . . Neither the inner magazine nor its contents were at all injured by the fire, nor did they evince any signs of the se vere ordeal to which they had been exposed, beyond being pervaded to the very centre with steam from the alkaline solution, contained in tubes embedded in the nonconductor occupying the chamber of each cell. In proof of the intense heat of the fire, the wood was wholly consumed, the entire quantity of coal converted into coke, and the bricks upon which the fire was made were taken out red hot. .

ELECTRO-SILVER PLATE, IN COMPLETE BREAKFAST AND DINNER SERVICES. - Do ROMOLI and HAUSBURG most respectfully an nounce, that they have entered into arrangements with the Patentees for the supply of . ELECTRO-SILVER PLATED ARTICLES, and, in enumerating the advantages peculiar to them, solicit the favour of an Inspection of the Stock. They would particularly direct attention to the fol lowing points. The Material cannot be distinguished from Silver, and will resist all chemical action from .vegetable or other sub stances. The brilliant appearance bill it- preserved many years, merely requiring to be Cleaned by the same method'as Sil ver, and the Articles may be Replated, at a very moderate cost, as often as may be required, rendering them equal to new, an operation hitherto found impracticable. It is manufactured upon the same principle as Silver, and the Ornamental and, consequently, more prominent parts not being filled with Lead, are not liable to he bruised, or to injury from heat. The distribution of the coating of Silver by the Electrical Process, is perfectly equal in all parts: thus essentially dif fering from the ordinary Plated Goods, on which the Silver, in the projecting and more exposed portions, is impover ished in the manufacture. The Silver employed, being entirely free from alloy, will not so soon tarnish, and is cleaned with much greater facility. _ _ Any . Article, however varied in form and elaborate in de sign, previously unattainable except at a costly rate, may be produced by this Process, with solid Crests, or other Orna ments that may be desired, exactly similar to the roost ex pensive Silver Plate. P. and H. would further observe, that the Prices are ex ceedingly moderate; and, confident that their statement will be found to be borne out to the fullest extent, trust that their new undertaking will be honoured by the distinguished patronage conferred upon them in other Branches of their Business.

The continued preference of the Public for the above preparations, celebrated for their superior quality throughout the last half century, calls for the respectful acknowledgments of the Manufacturers, who beg leave particularly to CAUTION their Friends and Cus tomers in general against an imposition continually practised by unprincipled persons filling SCHWEPPE'S bottles with a spurious composition, and passing it off as SCH IVEPPE'S manufacture. The imitations contain no alkali, and are alto gether destitute of those medical qualities which have contri buted so materially to establish the credit of the former, and to secure for it the approbation of the Faculty. None are genuine without a label, representing the name of their Firm. J.

FIRE ON BOARD THE MAIL STEAMER TEVIOT. (From the New York Daily Express.) HAVANNA, Jinx 14.—1 am sorry to advise you of another unfortunate accident to one of the English royal mail steam ers. About nine'a.m. to-day, the Teviot was discovered to he on fire. She unfortunately lay some distance from the city, in the upper harbour, and it was full an hour before sufficient succour arrived. When the boats from the Spanish men-of-war came alongside, the commander, Croker, and the greater part of the crew of the Teviot were below endeavour ing to extinguish the flames which were raging to the en gine-room. A Spanish officer immediately took command of the upper deck, and, slipping her cable, she was towed to the shore and grounded. Meanwhile the crew, at work below, cut a hole in the side of the ship near the water's edge, for the convenience of getting water, and, with the assistance of three or four engines from on shore, succeeded, after three hours' incessant labour, in subduing the flames. The fire originated in the engine -room from a heap of packing, which, it is supposed, ignited spontaneously, and in a very short time the whole of the light wood-work and ceil ing were in flames. The stairway to the fire-room is com pletely burned away. Several of the timbers and deck beams are burned about half through, as also the plank of the lower deck over the engine. Fortunately none of the machinery is at all injured; and the furnaces which were full at the time, did not take fire, otherwise the boilers would have been burned through before they could have been filled. The state rooms of the officers and apartments of the servants and crew are completely broken up. The powder was first put into the boats, and after that the specie and the furni ture of the boat. None of the state rooms for passengers, nor cabins, were injured otherwise than by smoke. The damage is estimated at twenty thousand dollars, and, I should think, would fully equal, if not exceed that amount. The boat was to sail to morrow for England. She will now be detained, and as yet .it is not decided if she will proceed without some important repairs, Capt. Eliot (of Commissioner Lin celebrity) was on board, and was very active and efficient in his services. He proceeds to New Orleans, on his way to Texas, shortly. There is no other English steamer in port, and the mails will, therefore, be detained. (From the Charleston Courier.) We learn from Matanzas, that the British steamer Teviot, reported in our paper of Saturday last as having taken fire at Ilavana from the spontaneous combustion of her coal, was to leave that port on the 19th for Nassau, N.P. she having received no material injury. [The Teviot arrived at Falmouth on Friday. The Falmouth letter says that she has sustained much damage.] Mr. William Martin, the Christian Philosopher and Poet, has completed the model of a boat to be driven by what he terms " swan foot paddles." The town of Knittelfeld, in Styria, was on the 26th ult. so dreadfully ravaged by a ffre, that 56 houses and 60 farm buildings were entirely consumed, and six persons lost their lives. MENTAL CAUSES OF APOPLEXY. — Such is the power of the mind, there is scarcely a passion which has not, by excess of action, terminated existence. Love has done it; anger has done it ; grief has done it ; and also joy. But there is one mental emotion which, in our experience, never struck the human body with a fatal blow ; it is hope. Hope, when well grounded, never creates evil ; it is a true anchor. The other passions may agitate the soul, as the angel Bethesda's waters ; but hope rather resembles the healing influence that angel left behind. A MYSTERIOUS MEETING OF COLLIERS.—On Monday last, the inhabitants of Halifax were surprised by the appear ance of an •unusual number of colliers in the streets. It appeared that a public meeting was arranged to be held by them in the Oddfellows' Hall. It was calculated there were about eight or nine hundred present. What was the end or object of the meeting we could not learn precisely, as we applied for admittance to report the proceedings, but were denied. We have since been told, that it was a preparatory meeting to a general strike amongst all the colliers, and that delegates attended from Sheffield, Wakefield, and other quarters; but so secret were they in their proceedings that they turned out all stewards and banksmen from the meeting. The object to be gained is not so much a question of wages, it is said, as the formation of a general union, to act in stantaneously, and stop machinery, railways, &c.—Bradford Observer. COMMISSIONS OF LUNACY.—By a recent act of parliament considerable alterations in proceedings under commissions of lunacy will be effected. It received the royal assent on Friday week, and is entitled " An act to alter and amend the practice and course of proceeding under commissions in the nature of writs de lunatic() inquirendo." It authorises the appointment by the Lord Chancellor of two commissioners, being sergeants or barristers of ten years' standing, who are to be styled " The Commissioners in Lunacy," and to whom all commissions of lunacy are to be directed. The commis sioners are in future to perform the duties in lunacy hitherto referred to the masters in chancery. There are also to be ex-officio visitors of lunatics under the existing laws, and their proceedings are to be regulated by the Lord Chancellor, who can also appoint special commissioners, and is likewise empowered to make general orders regulating the practice respecting commissions of lunacy. The number of jurymen is also to be fixed by the Lord Chancellor, but not to he less than twelve. The salary of the commissioners is to be each £2,000 per annum, and the office of "clerk of the custodies of idiots and lunatics" is abolished. There is a provision for retiring annuities to the commissioners, compensation to the officers, &c., and the salaries of the clerks, &c., to be ap peinted,aret o be fixed by the Lord Chancellor and the lords of the treasury.

The line slipped out of his hand, and Mr. Maunsell stripped and went in after it. He re covere d i t, and, fastening it to the boat, was switlirning to the shore, when his feet became entangled in the weeds.

In the mean time Mr. Maunsell held on the boat, and some persons passing succeeded in rescuing him from his perious situation. Drags were then procured, and the body of Mr. Edge was not re covered for more than forty minutes. —Dublin paper.

But there is a vast want of a maximum beyond country; each seems to be endeavour ing to cheat each other, union throughout the aiid all are equally losers i n th e end. Of what avail are the rich resources of this fi ne country ? Of what avail is the industry of its proprieta r y, w i thout the means of their d l o pment. Our labourers are a spec i es of gentlemen ; they in eveherit at least the vices of their Superiors ; they ride each his own own watch, and can sit rather than own vi work under hist_ le. We shall en deavour to s h o w bow this has taken place. I n the dawn of f re edom, errors innumerable aros e w i th respect to the new 1 t 1 ave been -hich oug it o i adopted for the protection lc vi holder's property. The policy h in d _ laws were hastily framed, and that l e d to several imperfections. Th e di s ti nct i on o f . right—and , that of p ossessior I was ill d e fi ned. The labourer i mag ined that his fee simple was never to end—that it was to hold to him and to his heirs for ever, instead of his being considered a mere tenant at will, and nothing will eradicate that impression but a total deprivation of all lands, and a new paction being formed between the employer and em ployed. A system is recommended by the colonial minister, which is called " Metairie," by which the labourer becomes a small farmer, paying produce instead of rent, but which we are certain would not do here; for, the moment be found any other vent that would bring him a farthing more per load for his prod uce, he would disappoint the individual to whom, for everything, perhaps, he was beholden, and carry them to another market. Unless, indeed, the proprietor intended to abandon planting altogether and leave it to his labourers, this scheme would prove completely abortive. —Cornwall Chroxic/e.
