The London Builder gives an account OF
a Fire Annihilator, which is described as a
small machine Of the size Of common pail,
containing several iron encasements, and in
the middle seven pounds OF nitre, carbon
and gypsum. in The proportions Of sax, two.
and t~o' and also one quart OF water; at a
touch oil the finger on a small piston, char
ged with a small quantity Of chlOrate of po
taSs and sugar, the compound sin a moment
converted INTO steam to an amount so enor-
nous, that ii equals the amount produced by
a hve-horse sIeam-bOiler, and is equivalent to
a brigade hre-engine. The whole machine

the combusible spent is worth only aboul

A short time since we noticed Parker's
patent "annunciator" for hotels, mansions,
&C., whereby only one bell is required, and
the particular room is indicated by a num-
Der appearing on the face of the machine.
Ii seems to be very ingenious and efficient
arrangement. In consequence Of that no
tice We have received letter from Lincoln
signed John Middleton, stating that he has
been in the habit Of eiecting the same
thing for long time past, and pointing to
the Palatine Hotel, Manchester, where his
arrangement has been in operation for two
years, and the Great Northern Hotel, Lin
coin, where, in short time, may be seen
forty-four rooms on two landings, all COM
municating with two bells. He says

mingham, an electric telegraph has been es-
tablished to suPersede bell-nnging. The OBJ
ect is TO avoid any trouble to the visitors
who frequent the house in calling for re-
freshment, as indicated on the dial-plate.--
By turning handle, which communicates
with the wires, the party is enabled to order
any refreshment he may require without
troubling the servant, and can even request
the appearance Of the landlord or landlady,
as may be requisite.-B1lder.

suspicion has been very naturally ex-
cited that Lord Grey is about to give away
a very valuable piece Of national property.
Vancouvers Island, on the American Pa
chic coast, is to be ceded under a royal
charter to the Hudson's Bay Company;
what for, does not appear. But unless the
transaction should wear a totally different
aspect on fuller explanation, it is one of the
most glazing abuses Of official power.
Lord Lincoln has drawn attention TO the
subject in Parliament; and the Morning
Chronicle oPPOrtunely puts together what
scanty information on the subject at present
exists.
Nancouver's Island is situated in the Pa.
chic, very nearly in the same latitude as
the British ISLANDS, and enjoys a climate
very similar TO our own, but milder and
more equable. 1t possesses fertile soil,
magnificent forests, and immense tracts Of
good coal, reaching to the waters edge on
various parts Of the coast. What makes
the latter peculiarly valuable at this mo-
ment IS, that an American company is about
to run line oil steamers from the Column
bia River (almost within sight Of the island)
to Panama, and this company are at this
moment contracting for their Goals ia Eng
land. Another project is on foot for estab-
fishing steam communication between the
West coast Of America and China, in short
an opening exists for supplying, exclusively
from British possession, the whole Pacific
trade by means of steam navigation. Above
all, Vancouver's Island possesses, or COM
mands, all the harbors Of the Western
coast of North Amortization there is not
one between San Francisco, in California,
and the Straits Of Juan de Fuca. For all
these reasons it is highly important that a
party Of British colonists, prepared to turn
these natural advantages to account, and to
maintain our Supremacy in the Pacific,
should be established in this favored situa-
ton; and as the demand for coal offers the
unusual inducement of an immediate export
trade, it is not wonderful that there should
be persons in this country ready and will
ling to make the adventure if they could OBJ
tain the support and encouragement Of
Government.

matches in Chelsea reach. This result was
distinctly foreseen by the Duke Of Wei,
lington, by Lord John Russell, by Mr..
Clarkson, by Sir F. Buxton; and yet the
system fraught with consequences antagon-
lst to the object has been adopted, and is
Persevered in, notwithstanding its cruel mis-
carriage, at an enormous cost to the coun-
try.
We may be told that il is to some paItry
extent protective Of our West Indies, as it
raises the price Of slaves in Cuba; but for
the moment admitting this point, which is
Tar from certain, is il to be endured that
protection is to be comprised for the West
Indies at the price Of all the increased hor-
rors practised both on land and sea on the
unhappy negro captives whose protection
against the worst wrong We profess to have
so much al heart, and undoubtedly have very
heavily at pocket? To revive the slave trade
legally would be less immoral and inhumar,
than to augment all the barbarities OF il in
order to compass an indirect protection Of
our colonies.
Hin the evidence to which we have refer

examined by the committee, showed merely
that the blockade system had failed 10 put
down or materially to check the slave trade,
the continuance Of it at charge of nearly
million year, and attended with much
suffering to those employed in the service,

otism but il becomes far worse, and moral
" criminal, when it appears thai our mista-
ken humanity is augmenling all the horrors

and to pay the balances we owed abroad,
when, three months ago, We had fair right
to expects balance OF a million and half
to the credit side of our account
There is no need OF stating the inconve-
niences our community have suffered from
the cutailment Of discounts and loans, and
the evils resulting perhaps from necessary
caution on the part Of our banks and money
holders.
Now, how simple the remedy-a cotton
mill Of 10000 spindles will turn out four
millions Of yards of brown cottons per an
mum, worth, at the low rate OF seven cents
per yard, S280.000. We should save at
least three-fourths Of this, as the cotton used
in the mill, which now makes exchange, is
not worth more than one-fourth the product,
say S2l0,O00. Eight such mills then
would have saved US an amount equal to
the million and half Of specie sent to pay
for the same cotton made up east of the
mountains.
We can easily imagine a condition oil
things resulting from such an export, which,
in single year, would injure US to great
er amount than the entire capital required
10 construct and operate the eight mills.
This kind of cyphering can be carried
to any extent by the tyro Of village school,
and the most uneducated man would b.
satisfied with the correctness of the rule
and the result.
If so, should not our capitalists and thei
representatives, our bank officers, do wha
they can in legitimate way to foster sucl
interests and establish such safeguards
