MIRRORS new process OF silvering glass
and other materials has recently been patented,
and now challenges competition with the method
heretofore in use. The new process appears
to be very simple one, the basis being the known
properties OF nitric acid to dissolve pure silver,
which being held in solution is subsequently de-
posted on the glass or other substance to be sill
vered The old material (mercury) is thus dis
pensed with altogether. The agents precipitat-
ing the dissolved silver are understood to be GER

ELECTRIcITY IN POISONING BY LAUD-
ANUM. Not long since we gave an abstract OF a
report, in the London Lancet, Of the use of cleo.
tricity in poisoning by laudanum-another case
now occurs to US. Two or three years ago the
Hartford Courant gave a case of treatment in such
times, of which the following is the substance
A Mr. Fowler was found al his lodgings APP
parently dead from poison, he having purchased
and swallowed two ounces of laudanuG. The
usual remedies were tried without effect, when
it was recommended to use electricity. The con-
Quoting wire was applied to the chest, and chock
given him, when he rose, but sank slowly back
again. Another shock was given him, when he
up and exclaimed " oh, :" and again fell back
On the third shock he rose up and remained in d
sitting posture. He asked for drink, and
was supplied with tea and coffee. In the course
OF an hour he had almost entirely recovered.
These facts are worth remembering There
seems to be sort of paralysis or torpor of the
nervous system, produced by opium, which cleo.
tricity counteracts.

SINGULAR DISCOVERIES. The workmen
employed in some OF the copper mines OF Lake
Superior, have rec ntly ascertained that many
OF the veins OF ore have been previously worked
by some uuknoW n people centuries ago. Stone
and metal wedges have been found in great
abundance, with charred beams and sticks. In
some excavations, now filled up with rubbish,
where the rocks have evidently been cut with
chisels, large trees have grown, some of which
are still standing, while others have persisted with
age, leaving huge stumps. In one instance a
mass Of halt-melted copper was found, with the
brands and ashes around it, as the last miner had
left them. 1t is conjectured that these unknown
workmen must have belonged to the race of the
mound-builders, whose traces are scattered all
over the whole Western country.

''1'he Repeal movement has reached crisis

attained. perusal Of thedrish intelligence in our
paper Of to-day will bear us out in the assertion,
that the present position of affairs in that country
is most complicated IND perilous, and that length

joined issue on the subject of Repeal"
The Dublin Nation publishes a letter fromLo
French which concludes in the following terms:
The moment Lord Clarendon draws the sword
spills the blood of that remnant of a suffering
people who still survive his reckless inhuman and
heartless policy--that the sword will not be
sheathed, except with the triumph of popular VIC
tory, with the utter extinction of the people of
Ireland. We have afforded to the nations of the
earth precedentof the marvellous fortitude with
which we have endured centuries of tyranny and
oppression. We would then prove to them, that
military despotism has no terror for us, and that
we have equal courage to prefer death to serfdom;
nor shall any nation hereafter, by our example, so
long consent to be treated as vile slaves

o. The editor of the Wilmington IN. c.
Chronicle states, that 60 much concern prevails
among the Turpentine producers and dealers in all
this section ofthe State, onaccount of the immense
number Of Pine trees that are dying, without any
perceptible cause. We observed something of it in
short excursion which we made into the country
few weeks since, and now we understand that
the decay is going on at a rapid rate. One gentle
on his plantation one hundred and thirty thousand
trees, or the tasks of about twelve hands, which
have died within "a short time. Others also, we
have heard of, who have lost from a fourth to
half of their trees. The cause of this extensive
destruction of the most valuable tree of forest,
is eminently worthy of close Investigation.
