AN explosion of a large quantity Of percussion
caps, in the cockloft of the umbrella store of
Charles King, 40 Cedar steet, New Y ork, about
/ clock on Tuesday, besides injuring three men,
blew off a large portion ofthe roof and shattered
the back wall so that it will have to be taken
down. John Perry, the most seriously injured,
can hardly survive, his face, chest, and lower
parts Of his body are perfectly rdded with per-
cussion caps; his brother George is not so seri-
ously hurt, having only a few caps in his fore
head. Two other Of the workmen are slightly
injured. 1t is not known by what agency the
caps were ignited. They were damaged and

HENRY M. PA1NE-Shot at .Agnim!-The Bos-
ton Transcript, Of Wednesday, has the follow
ing: Mr.. Paine being in our office few days
since, we noticed that his face was badly SCARED
with blotches, as if it had been excoriated in
various places. A friend inquired the cause of
the appearance, when Mr. Paine stated, that a
small package of cigars was sent to him in Wor-
cester, few days since, with an accompanying
note, stating that they were from well known
dealer, and we're sent to him specimen for
trial. Mr.. Paine lighted one of them, but had
not smoked it longer than minute when it cx-
ploded, scattering sulphur and Illuminating pow

CAUTION Counterfeit on the Wisconsin, Ma
rinc-We were shown this morning counter
felt $40 bill on the Wisconsin Marine and Fire
Insurance Company. 1t was found on the per-
son of a counterfeltcr, who had been arrested a
few days since in Buffalo, and who had about
$4,000 Of the same kind in his possession. The
officers fortunately secured the plate at the same
time. This counterfeit can be distinguished
from the genuine, by the difference in the Wig
Notes. Tie genuine contains on the left, man
with rcapng cradle in his hand. On the coun-
tcrct, the figure is that Of an Indian chief, with
a bow in his hand. On the right, the vignette in
the counterfeit is figure Of Justice, with scales
in hand. On the genuine the figure is that Of
Liberty In the counterfeit, the head vignette
contains couple of COWS, which are not on the
genuine. The counterfeit is letter A'--date

WASHINGTON, Saturday night,) July 20, 1850.
DR.. HoLr-I drop you line in haste, to in
form you, that rumor has given the Metropolis
another and more talented caste of a Cabinet for
Mr.. Fillmore. This new Cabinet will be con-
firmed.-They are as follows:
Mr.. WEBSTER, State Department.
Mr.. BATES, of Mo-, War do
Mr.. GRAHAM, N. c. Navy do
Mr.. PEARcE, of Md, Interior.
Mr.. HALL, of N Y, P. NJ. General.
MIR. CoRw1N, of Ohio, Treasury.
NJ. CR1rrESDEN, Of KY, Atty General.
This is much stronger Cabinet than the one
sent you few days ago; and am told the gen
tlemen will all accept. think Mr. Bates should
have succeeded Mr.. Ewing, and MIR. Pearce be
at the head ofthe Navy;-Mr. Graham, of course,
should be in the War Department. The idea
of THOMAS CORWIN, of Ohio, being at
the head of one of the departments of govern
ment, is enough to chill the blood in the veins of
every Patriot in the laad!-Certainly patriotic
Wing could have been selected by MIR. Fillmore,
rather than the man, who invoked the enemy to
receive his countrymcn in Mexico with 'bloody
hands and welcome them to hospitable graves!'
Truly we live in fearful times-when traitors to
their country are rewarded with high places.
Mr.. Clay, for few days back, appears almost
to despair of his Compromise Bil:-so complete
is the identity between the Southern Disunion-
lists in the Senate, with the Abolitonsts, that
the defeat of the Bill, is expected next week. In
that event, | hope California, New Mexico, and
all the other questions will be settled separately,
and the South be satisfied with the suicidal con-
duct of their Senators. Yours,
MUSCATINE.

that the apparently wonderful results, were no.
thing, but the simple effect of what is called the
spherodical condition of water or moisture. The
theory of the thing is this, that when the meta
has attained high degree Of heat, it changes or
the hand, or even the tongue, into the globules
or spherodical froms, which prevent the imme
date contact of the iron with the skin. The ex
periments are to be repeated before the Natura
History Society Of Boston, soon. If so, they
will be duly reported.
