The London times is becoming alarmed al the state of Ireland, and especially at the sympathy and aid her mseries have evoked from every part of the world Il iresenss the iaierfsrenes of Eoreign countries to prevent the Erish from starving, as an intrusion spon the special privileges Of England. IL claims for the Irish the privilege of starving, without let or hindrance. The following Is it's lan- guage:
 @lrelsnd, the sister of England, her ancient conquest and still too much her de- pendent, is now begging and receiving the aims of the whole earth. No distance, no difference of race or religion, prevents lhe intrusion of her claims, and, it is fair 10 add, their ready admission. But can we feel un- mixed satisfaction in hta-ing that our rivo s and our caiumniators, in whose mouths lre- land has ever been the worst opproblum their jealousy, their malice, or their ignorance could suggest, are now besiowing their charity on our unfortunate lellow-sut jects From all parts ofthe Emitted States have come subscriptions, mixed with sympathy medh- CT fatfcriRg nor sofe to this nanon.
 ''At Constantinople there had been sub scnptlon, to which the Sultan had largely contributed. The Pope has ordered pl ayeIs and collections for Ireland in alt the churches acknowledging his authority. From the : East and West Indies We Can better receive such expressions of interest; but we cannot honestly profess unqualified pleasure at hear ing that Marseiles had subscribed more for Ireland than for the sufferers by the munda- tions in France.r

sExTIRGuisHADLE FIRg.-During lIIe last session of Congress, an appFopriation was made to enable Mr Uriah Brown to test the merits of liquid fire of which he is inc inventor, designed as an instrument oi war. Mir Brown IS now in the city, making the necessary arrangements for trial before the ordnance and other offices of the Gov ernment- We know nothing of the article further than the Hon. Jacob Thompson said in the H. of Representatives, that il was something like the Greek fire. History in- iofms us that the Greek fire was made prin- cipally ol napsha. ar liquid bilumen, mixed with sulphur and pitch, extracted from green hrs. Water, instead of extinguising, quick sned this powerful ageut of desnuciion. Is could be damped only by sand, wine or yine- gar. is vas period of four hundred years before the secret of its composition was ob- iained from the Greeks. The Mahometans at length discovered and sto;e il. IL eoniin- ued to be used in war down to the middle ef the fourteenth century, when gunpowtler was introduced. As to the applicability of Mr Browns invention, we have only to say that our present means of deslruetion are ample m Mexico, as the victories of our troops heve demonstrated His liquid fire, we think, would be more efficient in the con- hagraiion Of vessels than of cities.

The following sesere remarks in relation te shs English critics, are fromihc American MaiI 4 New York, new paper, by Park Remiauin:
 ss'The successes Uf our arms in Mexico seem tp have given several editorial gentle men great uneasinese. They lase iol failed to prove, bY reasons quite satisfactory to themselves, that the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de Ia Palma were very common place achievements, and that nothing extraordinary was done at Buena Vista and Cerrc Gordo. They first predicted that we should be foiled al Vera Cruz. and now find fault with the modns operaHdi. by which we so rapidly Enc- eceded. Mr. Douglass Jerrold is one of the editors of Punch; he gave to the world Mrs. Cautie's Curtain Lectures aad Mrs. Bibb's Baby, and nobody can deny that he Is an ex- ceedingly funny fellow. As satirisi, he Is rather butter than witty; as novelist. rather pert Ihanforeible; as an humovist, lie is some times vastly amusing and sometimes he rushes into exaggerated nonsense and scFambling cariealnrr. But he writes falsely at times, partly fiom ignorance, partly from malice she latter seeming 10 constitute DO small ir- gredient of his disposition. Any attempt ta refute such an article as A Coward's Blow at Vera Cruz, would be too absurd we cite it simply for ihe amusement of the req der-neyer supposing thai it will prevent bim from keeping cool ia hot weather.
 When Mr. Dosgiass Jerrold sIet himself oar in this remarkable manner, he must have mistaken his paper and faneied he was wri. ting for Punch. To that sagacious journal he had better restrict his eloquent invec,ive or rather itRposeni seoldlng. He has been SC long in the habit Of lying for fun that he fall. into is when he means to be serious. Gross Perversions are substituted for facts, and the vapors of an oyerwrough, brain for subslan- tai realitiesn

Universal History.

from the Creation ofthe World to the begin
ming Of The Eighteenth Century, by the Late
Hon. ALEX. FRAZIER TYLER,
Senator Of The College ofJusiice, and Lord
Commissioner Of Justiciary in Scotland,
and formerly Professor Of Grill His
tory and Greek and Roman An
tiquities, in the University
ofEdinburg.
This work contains the whole course o
lectures on Universal History. delivered by
The professor. while engaged in the Univer-
SHY of Ediuburg. Its preparation for the
press was the last Of his literary labors. 1t
has gone through large number of editions
IN England and America. The Work has
been for many years and now is a text hook
IN the hrst Universities OF both countries, and
The northern galaxy. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1844-1848, 1847-12-07

in all probability will be handed down TO The
end of time, for the originality OF It's style,
beauty of composition, and faIthiuiness oil
9etail' as the most useful and interesting
work on Universal History Tor The time 1t en-
braces, extant.
The chief characterizing feature Of the
plap of the author, is, that he rejects the
popular style OF historians Of arranging gener
81 history according to certain epochs or eras-
and proceeds to give the history Of "a nation,
or people through a long succession Of
years, depressing only when the history Of
some other nation may be so interviewer with
the one under consideration as to be Insep-
cradle. In this way the author gives the
history Of the world from the creation,
compiled from The best authorities with great
simplicity and perspicuiry; and his work
cannot fail to recommend itself TO the pro-
fes-ional man, the student and the general
reader.
The present edition is comprised in two
handsomely printed octave volumes )oi
1000 pages, neatly hound, and is offered al
the low price of Three Dollars. A liberal
discount made TO those buying TO sell again
or TO teachers buying for their schools. All,
orders by mail. post paid, promptly attended
