LATE FIRE IN New YoRK.-The
reader has agraphic, vivid description
Of the late fire, in the following, from
the pen of Major Noah:
The confusion and chaos created
around, the clamor of trumpets and
voices the steady work of the engines,
the moving masses, the agonised ex-
pressions of terror, the screaming of
women and the helter-skelter of every
sort offurniture that can be imagined,
borne Off carts, &c. by hand orheap-
ed in the streets; bibles pray r-books.

tunes, and tones of Shakespeare, and
librettos, and scores ofRossini, BeIin
and Auber, and wardrobe and gew'

AMONG THE MIssING.-It is stated
in the morning papers, that one Of the
subordinate officers of the Seventh
Ward Bank, in imitation of some of
the more distinguished lights of his
party, has been acting upon the Sub
treasury plan-that is to say, believ-
ing banks to be unsafe, as well as un.
constitutional, he has pocketed some
four or five thousand dollars for safe
keeping, and placed himself beyond
the immediate reach Of his colleague.
in such wicked concern.-N. Y

A FINE LITTLE FELLow.-In the
criminal court, at Philadelphia, the
other day, small boy was objected
to as a witness, on account OF his ex-
IRENE youth. When asked lido you
know the nature Of an oath| Yes,
he replied. What is it?' s'That thou
shalt not bear false witness against
thy neighbour Ho! all We witness
es, learn of this little boy, and be wise.
The Hawk-eye and Iowa patriot. (Burlington, Iowa) 1839-1843, 1839-10-24

the banks, as they are at present man
aged, cause fifty times the amount of
distress which they alleviate. When
money is plenty, they are pushing for
ward and pressing their loans upon
the merchants; when it is scarce, they
rigidly refuse to discount. on the plea
that they must take care OF themselves
which means, we suppose, that they
must loan their notes to their dlrec-
tors and brokers for the purpose OF
shaving to an almost limitless extent.
We believe that the banks in this ci-
ty, with very few exceptions, are rot
ten, corrupt, totterlng concerns, and
the sooner that they are deserted to
their own fate-the fate they have vo-
unfairly chosen--the sooner will the
trading community experience dura-
bic relief from the prevailing distress.

REMEDY FOR BURNS.

Editor L. :. Gazeiie-
Dear Sri have so often seen remedies
for human ills given io the newspapers, and
nj once consigned Ia oblivion, ,i,at I have
Tor a~great while hesiated to present this
remedy to the public. For fourteen years
have prescribed it; and Witnessed its
healing effects. deliberately say from
fourteen years experience, that no disease
or injury 10 the human system has more
certain remedy than this for the most dis.
iressing of all injuries, than of scalds and
burns. The relief is almost instantaneous
from minute to Il half an hour, will us
ually find fnl relief from pnin. No mat
ter what the extent of the burn, even if all
The skin is removed from the body. The
first knowledge had of il was the almos,
miraculous cure of a little hoy, who fell in
10 half hogshead of boiling water, pre-
pared for scalding the bristles from swine.
The entire person and limbs Of the hoy
passed under the scalding water up to the
chin, 50 ns to scald his whole neck. On
removing his clothes, nearly all his skin fol-
lowed from his neck, hands, arms, chest,
back, abdomen, and almost every hit of
skin from his lower extremities. In this
deplorahle condition, literally flnyed alive
with scalding water, the remedy was
promptly applied, as momcntary npplica-
llon until the physicians should arrive.
Two eminent physicians, soon came, and
on learning the extent Of the scald, pro-
nounced it a certainly fatal case, and d.
rected the boy to remain with the remedy
t,a IL "A. L.. a..
he was restored quite well, with scarcely
scar on any part of his person or limbs.
The remedy increases in value from the
fact, that under almost all circumstances
1t may be obtained. It's as follows Take
SCOT from chimney where wood is burned,
rub 1t fine, and mix one par: soot to three
parts or nearly so efhog's lard, fresh butter.
nr any kind of fresh grease, that is not salt
ed spread this on linen or muslin, or anv
cotton cloth for easier and more perfect
adaptation. If in very extensive burns or
scalds, the cloth should be torn into strips
before putting over the scald. Let the rem
edy be freely and fully applied, so ms TO per-
ectly cover all the burned parts. No other
application is required until the patient is /
we'll, except TO apply fresh applications of
he SCOT and lard, &c.
In s;eamboat explosions, this remedy can
n nearly nll cases be at once applied, and
done many valuable lives will he saved,
md vast amount of suffering alcvia,ed.
1t you aud the corps editorial, will hand
his remedy around our country, and invite
ttention to il, and that also those who use
may give their testimony for or against,
eel assured that in few months, this
most efficacious and almost nnfaiIing reme-
|y will be every where known and used in
he United States.

TExAs.-The new President, NJ. b. La
mar, was installed in office on the 10Th uh.
General Houston made IA speech on the oc-
caslon of his retirement from office. The
scene of the Inauguration is represented to
have been quite imposing and digniGeJ.-
Great reliance is placed oa the ability of
General Lamar, aud the happiest results
predicted from his administration.
General Lamar wa. formerly a citizen of
Savannah, and Georgian of considerable
distinction. He went to Texas just before
the battle of ST, Jacin,ho, from choice and
not from necessity, and contributed SIO,-
oO0 To the Texan cause, when it was II: lis
lowest poirt. His IiberaIity, talent, brave
ry and bearing have raised him to the head
of the State, and as he is man of honor
and character, and no renegade or adyen-
:urer, much of good may be anticipated
from his administration.

The SToSINGroN RAIL RoAD.-The
n. 4. Times of Friday publishes a letter
from Alexander iilmillnI, chairman of the
committee of the Sioningtun Railroad Com.
pany, appointed at the meeting held in tbi.
ciy, about the 2Olh ullimo, addressed 10
me President of The Company, and a copy
oi ihe correspondence that has passed be-
tween The Chairman of the committee and
'he oni'ed States and Girard Banks of Phil
adeIphla, respecting the affairs of the com
pnny. Mr. Hamilton states that he applied
personally to the Cashiers of the Uniied
States and Girard Banks, t. ascertain
whether any additional assistance could he
expected from these institutions. At the
interview full exposition of the embarrass-
menis OF the Company was made, the i'm
porsance of renewed aid from the Banks
portrayed, and after urging the reflective
security to those already extended ms nn in.
ducemeni for further advances, Mr. Hamil-
ton could offer no sufficient argument as n
mo'ive for additional assistance. The
Banks have already paid more than the or
islnaily estimated cost of the road, and,
while me income arising from IL has been
enceeded 6y the current eLpendnure, they do
not consider themselves authorized further
to involve The interests of their stockholders
in the enterprize.
In referring 10 the official statement of
the affairs of the Company, it appears that
"hiIe The estimated cost of the road was
81 SI,2OO,0OO, the actual disburse meuts have
exceeded S2,5OO,OOO.
The letter further states, that il would he
worse than useless to disguise the fact that
the Company's affairs are SO absolutely in. Z
volved IN difficulty, that unless some prompt
assistance be brought to its succor. its .
rights property and privileges, will be ad.
judged to lis creditors. The road is now
under attachment, and other claims will
soon take the same course /; the only qucs-
'ion now remaining for legal Inquiry To de-
cne Is, whether the road shall belong to
the attaching or mortgage creditors. i

ton of Col Hamilton for additional aid.

FLOATING Dry Dock. We have spen wi,

| Floating Dry Dock. We have seen will
much satisfaction the operation Of a new
plan oF dry dock, for raising and repairing
vessels, just constructed and in use in The
East River at The font of Montgomery street
in this city. II is exceedingly simple We,
ingenious and efficient, and has met the mp
probation of the most distir guished engin-
GERS in the country. II consists Of such a
number of separate sections, or floating
! platforms, sustained by strong frame work,
as II may be necessary to connect together,
10 uphold the vessel to he repaired, while
floating in the water. Each section has
two hollow angular floats fixed in the
frame, and orr small movable float at each
end and rs the water is exhausted from
the former, ard the frnme with the vessel
rises, the smaller floats are pressed down to
the water, and preserve the equilibrium of
the whole structure. The dock we saw
consists Of four sections, and has capaci-
~ of raising vessels of 300 tons burden. At
the time we saw 1t, there was n fine schoon-
er with her masts and rigging, riding upon
1t high and dry above The water, sustained
Just az she floats, without any danger Of
straining or other injury. A dry dock on
tins plan seems to possess many advsnta-
ges over other existing contrvances for the
same purpose. 1t is vastly cheaper, both
IN its construction and operation; and it
raises the vessel without any possibility of
straInlng her, the sections yielding to the
shape Of her keel; it is movable from
place to place; it can be used in or ont of
tide water, in rivers, lakes, or wet docks
and one of large size, by division of The Sec
tons, can he used simultaneously for rais- /
ing two vessels, each of burden equal to
half MS capaclty.-Wc understand that n
company is formed, with charter, and
that several large docks on this plan. for
this harbor, and other ports, will shortly be /
constructed. The subiec, is certainly Of
deep interest to all persons connected with !
shipping, especially ms we are sadly defic- /
lent in the means Of repairin. vessels in all I
our harbors.
The inventor of this plan is Capt. JoHN I,
Thomas, distinguished naval architect,
who has procured patents in this and other
countries for his improvement.
IL is but just to add tha, he has been in
febted 10 the enterprise and assistance Of I
