Corp AND SILVER GLAss-A New
AND BEAUTIFUL PRocEss.-A new meth
cd of manufacturing ornamental glass
has lately been discovered, which pre-
sents the brilliant appearance of highly
polished gold and silver. This mode of
''slIvering' glass is a new invention,
which is now being carried on by COM
pany in London. The various articles
are blown of two different thicknesses Of
glass throughout, aud the silver is depos-
tied upon the two interior surfaces of the
double hollow glass vessel The silver is
deposited from a solution of that metal
by the reducing agency Of saccharine so;
lutions; in short, the process is entirely
chemical one. The double hollow yes
sells are hermetically sealed. and thus the
silver deposit is protected from wear and
from atmospheric Influences. The brill
liant silver deposit being seen through
the colored glass, communicates to that
substance, i'll curiously elusive manner,
the appearance of beng entirely formed
of gold and silver itself. When the
glass is cut. the brilIiancy of the silver is
heightened, aud, on the other hand when
the glass is ground, the effect of frosted
silver is produced. By staining, and the
employment of varously co.ored glasses,
the. effect io InOulned IN a variety oil
ways; thus, with certain yellow glasses,
the effect of gold is produced; with deep
and ruby glass, colored metallic lustres,
equal in the effect to the p!umage of
birds, are obtained. AS every form into
which glass can be blown is silvered
with facility, the extent to which this
beautiful invention can be carried is per-
fecty Unlimited. The new process eX-
tends to flower vases. chimney orna-
ments, and in fact, to every article usual
ly made Of glass. For ornaments it pre-
sents all the lustrous briIlianey of highly
polished gold and silver, at great re-
ducticr of cost and for initiating jewelry
and illuminations it will far surpass any
thing known. In fact, the invention is
at present quite in its infancy and promis-
es soon TO fill the houses Of the middle
classes, usually destitute of brilliant Or
aameIts, with cheap articles presenting
all the striking appearance Of costly
plate, &c.

"How EASY HE WRITES" with
what es Sc he writes" said young lady,
as she lald down one of Washington
Irving's volumes. Strai ghtway we made
up our mind that the young lady did not
know what she was talking about. Had
she said, elbow easy it is to read his
works. we could have sym pnthized with
her amazingly. Then, finding we could
not make a satisfactory reply without
compromising our honesty, we tell to
making comparison i'll silence. The
steamboat glldes majestically and grace
fully through the waters, but 1t is no easy
power that gives to the water-traveller
her steady and rapid motion. 1t is true,
she is tastefully painted and gilded; her
cabins are pleasant, and her bow IS
decorated with specimens fthe sculptor S
art. But descend with the engineer TO
his fiery domain; swelter there in the
burning pit; see the heated grease, and
listen TO the bursting steam; see the
tremendous power of fire and water COM
bined, untll the strained and groanlng
boiler threatens to burst asunder, aud
delupe the decks with the heated fiuld.
Yoa vii perceive that Ease, although a
