Emigrant Shps-1Hphus The protrac-
ted voyage of the emigrant bark William and
James. at the Iazaretto, Philadelphia, 70
days from Londonderry, was perhaps, one of
the causes Of typhus breaking ont in her.
Twenty-four such were landed, and the cap
tain and two Of the seamen have since died.
The disease must have acquired great malig-
nifty; and we n. c yet TO learn whether neg.
lect of food and cleanliness, and TOO great a
number of persons crowded in the vessel,
did not cooperate in the production Of the
epidemic. II is altogether wrong that the
avidty Of ship owners in the cmigrant trade,
should be permitted TO bring to our shores

Oride Of Iron-Sponinneous Combus-
fion.--Mr. Marsh, an able chemist connect
ed with the Royal Arsenal, recently discover
ed that il is an invariable rule with iron which
has remained for the considerable time un-
der water. when reduced to small grains, or
an mpalpable powder, to become red hot,
and ignite any object, with which il may
come in contact. This he experienced by
scraping some corroded metal from gun,
which ignned the paper containing ii and
burnt hole in his pocket. The knowledge
of this fact may be useful in accounting for
spontaneous fires, the origin Of which has
never been traced.
