THE SWORD. AND THE pIrRsr

The Western and Girard Banks Of Phila-
delphia were selected by the Secretary Of the
Treasury as deposIte banks. The directors Of
these institutions refused at first 20 unite with
the other city banks in a memorial TO Com
gress, for the restoration Of the deposites to
the 4. y. Bank, but on witnessing the alarm
and devastation which followed the derange-
ment Of the money market. they periodically
added their petitions 10 those Of the other
banks. Upon this the Globe remarks

ON THE BURNING OF WATER.

In late number of Silliman's Journal, there
is a communication on the combustion OF mater
by Samuel Morey, whose name has long been
before the public. 1t is very interesting pa
per. 1t appears that he has been engaged In
experiments on this subject for more than TWEEN
ty years He says, 81 have no doubt thatl have
tried lamps stores, and machines, in more than
four thousand different forms, for effectng
these purposes; and yet not many months have
elapsed since have felt entirely satisfied"
We omit several pages of theoretical reason
ing and confde our extracts entirely to the re
suits.
The experiments which have made, have
proved, practically, that an engine with pow
er equal TO driving a boat four miles an hour,
and a railroad car twice that distance in the
same time with ten or twelve passengers, may
be made for one hundred dollars and that the
engine with its preparing vessels Ca substitute
for the boiler in the steam engine) need not
weigh one hundred pounds-and the expense
of working it will not exceed ten or twelve cents
per hour. There are certainly no difficulties
to be removed. These facts have been verl-
fed practically and repeatedly before hundreds
of people.
Some recent improvements in the mode OF
constructing lamps for burning water to pro-
duce light and heat have perfected the opera
ton for these purposes. Itnow carries demon
tration in every form. For instance, when you
put but one fourth of gill OF spirits OF turpen-
tine into the lamp and as much water and raise
the temperature to less than that of boiling wa
ter, the vapor that comes over will be in the RAJ
ito of about equal parts of each. If in the COM
bustion of these vapors, a due proportion of air
is mixed and inhamed, it will in few minutes
boil two quart copper tea kettle. If small brass
wire is brought over and in contact with the
fame, it instantly drops in pieces-small copper
wire is readily melted-fne iron wire, if the
proportion be right, is instantly infamed-and
thin sheet copper with small piece ofsilver SOL
der on it with boraX, being exposed to the flame,
the silver melts in few seconds; and the cop
per very soon; and this is done while the vapor
is not concentrated in any way, and issues on
w with velocity about the same as that of gas
in gas lights
This discovery gives every promise ofsupply-
ing much cheaper fuel, Gas fueD exclusive
of clear saving Of light, than any one now IN
USE 1t smy intention to introduce my lamps,
&c. into use as soon as conveniently can"
The following remarks by professor Silliman,
will show how much Importance may be attach
ed to the discoveries:
1--WE have seen some of Mr.. Morey's expert
ments, and can testify to the correctness of his
statements, as regards the great amount OF heat
! and light evolved by combustion of the va
por of water mixed with that of spirits OF
turpentine or alcohol, and duly modified by
common air. The result are very striking and
beautiful, and we can see no reason why they
should not prove of great practical utitty."
