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 beat 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. .

DROMOLI and HAUSBURG most r peetfully nounCe, that , they have entered into ar ngements with the Patentees for the supply of EL TRO-SILVER PLATED ARTICLES, and, in enumer ng 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 will be. preserved many years, merely requiring. to be Cleaned by .the same method as Sil ver, and the Articles may be'lleplated, at:a very moderate cost, as often as may: be requirf.d; - rendering lhem equal' to new, an operation hitherLo found imprzleticabie. It is manufactured upon the same principle as Silver, and the Ornamental and, consequently, more prominent parts not being tilled with Lead, are not liable to be 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.

FIRE ON BOARD THE MAIL STEAMER TEVIOT. (From the New York Daily Express.) HAVANNA, JULY 14.—1 am sorry to advise you of another unfortunate accident to one of the English royal mail steam ers. About nine'fi.m. to-day, the Teviot was discovered to be 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 name 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. (Prom the Charleston Courier.) We learn from Matanzas, that the British steamer Teviot, reported in our paper of Saturday last as having taken fire at Havana 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. 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." TI .., Luft 'put Knltteireld, In Styria, was on the 26th ult. so dreadfully ravaged by a ffre, that .)6 houses and W farm buildings were entirely consumed, and six persons lost their lives. MENTAL CAUSES OF AroPLEXY.—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 wo 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 or LUNACV.—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 lunati co 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 be 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 pointed, are to be fixed by the Lord Chancellor and the lords of the treasury. MELANCHOLY DEATH or DROWNING. — We have to announce the melancholy death, by drowning, of Mr. John Dallas Edge, barrister-at-law, and seneschal of Castlecomer. He arrived from Castlecomer on Thursday afternoon, where he had been, leaving his lady and two children on a visit with the family of his father. In the course of the same evening, between 7 and 8 o'clock, he was walking in com pany with his brother-in-law and a friend, Mr. M'Mullen, when they met Mr. Hamilton, of James's-street, who had a small row-boat on the mill pond of Mount Brown distillery. The entire party resolved to amuse themselves for a whil e rowing. The boat was moored towards the centre, andiz:aedslitineoecl with a grappling-iron was used by Mr. Hamilton to bring her to land. The line slipped out of hiefsraehueagnhhditm,hanortodmoMf hisirt Maunsell stripped and went in after it.- Ile recovered it, Alaunsell held on, and and, fastening it to the boat, was swimming to the shore-, when his feet became entangled in thdebsowttehoeds.

There must be some political to bring about a mercantile change. Sugar and rum so depressed —wages so high and exo rbitant — servants idle —money scarce; and ' n o prospect of labour sup plies to bring d own extravagant wages .
