upon ordinary paints. Upon the former it turns it
to stone; upon the latter il destroys the oil with
which it is applied and as it depends entirely
upon the oil for its adhesion therefore as soon as
that is gone, it turns back to powder and will
wash or rub of. We have seen q statement OF
more than twenty Of the frat men in Sharon, Ohio,
where the paint is found, saying that they bad ex
amined house chat was painted by Mr.. Blake as
experiment nearly seven years since, and it is
now like stone. They also state that there are
many dishonest and irresponsible persons grind
ing up all kinds Of worthless stuff and sending it
through the country and selling it for the genuine
Ohio Fireproof Paint. They say they have seen
buildings that have been painted with it and 1t
proved TO be entirely worthless, and state that
Blskes Patent Fireproof Paint is the only Fire
proof Paint to be considered worth using. A
valuable article always has it's counterfeits, and
this is the case to a very great extent with this
Paint, If we can Judge of the almost daily reports
Of the discovery Of some new FireproOf Paint.
Some, in fact many, who find beds of rotten stone
on the farm pretend that they have valuable
Fireproof Paint mine, and commence grinding
and sending tout without any trial and sell 1t
&c the genuine article. Much of it, in, powder,
closely resembles the genuine; but when the at
mosphere acts upon it for any length OF time, the
difference is observed at glance. One thing is
certain, that no one can manufacture, sell or use
that that will make the genuine article without
infringing Mr.. Blake's patent, the which has been
decided upon by board OF referees, and also by
Hon. Daniel Webster, TO be good and valid. We
therefore would advise all who wish to get the
genuine article without subjectng themselves to
prosecution to go directly to the Patentee, "a
Pearl st. or to his agents.
DEATH OF DR.. GRIDLEY-We regret TO an.
nounce in our obituary Of this day the decease OF
DR.. Horatio W. Gridley, one Of the House Ply
sicians of Bellevue Hospital. He died on the Goth
inst Of Typhus Fever, contracted in the discharge
of bis duties in the Hospital. He was & young
gentleman of superior attainments, and gave
abundant promise OF rising to distinction in his
profession. His loss is deeply felt by his family
and friends, as well as by his associates in the
Hospital, to whom he was greatly endeared by
his amiabe disposition and moral worth.
e The ALLEGHAEIANs give their first Con-
cert at Hope Chapel this evening. Their pro-
gramme contains some of the choicest gems of the
favorite English composers, which, rendered in
the iDimitable style of the AIeghanians, will
prove most rich and enjoyable treat
EVENINGS WITH SHERIDAN.-Inc consequence Of
the great success Of this entertainment, Mr. G..
Vandenhoff repeats it this week at the Society
Library, commencing this evening
The WRECK OFF MoETAUK-There are strong
hopes that the wreck seen off Nontauk Point is
not that of the packet-ship Ivanboe. The ship
Ivanhoe spoken by the Canada was an English
vessel, and not the American packet as reported
on Saturday last.

THE WALL STREET FINAEcIERs The inves
tigstiop Of the charges against Nick sy and Cryder,
was brought to a close on Saturday Noadditionai
testimony was taken, and the counsel for the de
fence submitted the whole matter to the mags
,rate without summing up. The justice then re-
duced the bail bond to S. 900, which will be given
today, and this, we suppose, will be the last we
shall bear OF the case for some time.
by the way, the Tompkins matter was up in
one of the Courts on Saturday, but what was the
effect of the motion which was made we do not
understand Motions, counter.motions, COM
plants, answers, and demurers have become so
mixed up, that we cannot keep track Of them, and
half Of the time we are sadly puzzled to tell which
is plaintiff and which ia defendent. When the
matter is decided we shall give our readers the
particulars; but we rather think The good time
coming" will be on hand before the case is
brought to focus.
TuRNABou Is FAIR PLAY.--Mayor Kingsland
has been very active since the first of January in
causing various nuisances to be absted. Among
his other reforms he caused the boxes, bales and
barrels which have so long incumbered the side
walks in the business portion of the City to be
removed, and any merchant caught using the
sidewalk as a storebouse was forthwith made to
pay q penalty for his violation Of the City or
dinances. Many were the victims of the Mayors
unrelenting adherence to the laws, and vast
Improvement was manifest in the regions Of the
old "burnt tdistrict." There is rumor around
town that even the Mayor himself has been VIC
timized to a large extent in this way. Not long
since, while the employees Of his Honor were
engaged in receiving large consignment of Oil
his neighbors were taking notes and entering
complaints at the Mayors Office for violations Of
the City laws. The complaints were well found
ed-the proofs Sbundant-and before the wrath
of Kingslaud, the Mayor, could be aPPeased,
Kiugsland, the merchant, had enriched the City
Treasury some three hundred dollars.
