The office of the Fire Annihilator opened to-
day. and machines valued over 100000 were
disposed of. f. X. Collins toollosix for each of
his steamers, also nealy all thehotels in the city
and the theaters were supplied with these
machines; they were also purchased for the
Revere House, at Boston, and for many south
,ern hotels and. steamboats,,
A public test Of the Annihilator, by setting
fire TO a threc-story building near the city, will
take place about the 9th Of October
90 Two Countries in Competition.
The London Times has heretofore been The
calumniator of American pretcnsions, on ali oc-
casions, but the second victory Of the New
York Yacht AMERICA over the Titania "has
modified its tone very much," and as it were,
brought it to appreciate some of thu, elements of
American greatness The following article
which we give from that organ, shows diet En-
glishmen can no longer deny what Jealousy has
been so 10th to admit:
Taking all things together, British and Amer
leans have run u pretty fair tic through the
trials of this wonderful season. The Spring, it
must be confessed, opened i'll for Brother gona-
than, and for a good While we kept well ahead.
We had our great EXhibition--a real9 new
"smart" speculation and (which brought about
no revolutions all. As it turned out, even the
extra policemen might have been dispensed
with, and 10000 visitors have congregatcd and
dispersed daily, without as much disturbance as
attends q common country fair. Moreover, the
dollars haver eally come tumbling in annan.-
We say it without any 9malicc, or any wish TO
create annoyance, but the fact ia that even the
hyperbolical conjectures Of American irony have
fallen short of the truth in this interesting par
1ticular 1t was calculated that we should real
ize $2,OOO,OOO, whereas, we have got over
$2l00,OO0 at this very moment, with six good
weeks before US still. And all this in hand too,
and in solid coin, so that we fairly walk away
from our rivals. The true triumph Of sAmeri-
can genius would be to transfer these winnings
by some brilliant counterstroke to the soil Of CO.
lumbia. Mr.. Barnum, 7we observe, is actually
"among us, and his presence, like that OF Napo-
leon in the field, is always ominous Of business.
Still, although the Royal Commissioners seem to
be sorely troubled with their specie, and although
their friendly advisers among the public are
almost as much at fault, we have not yet heard
. of any disposition herein towards Mississippi
o bonds,
On the other hand, it is beyondail denial that
every practical success Of the season belongs to
the Americans. Their consignments showed
poorly at first, but came out'well upon trial.
Their reapng machine has carried conviction to
the heart of the British agriculturist. Their
receivers threaten TO revolutionize military tao
ties as completely as the original discovery OF
gunpowder.2 Their yacht takes class to itself.
OF all the victories eyer won none has been so
transdendent as that of the New York schooner.
The account given of her performances suggests
the inapproachablea excellence attributed to Jul
piter BY the ancient poets, who describe the
king of the Gods as being not only supreme, but
having none other next TO him. Whats irst:"
1.-THE America" ..Whats second?" Moth
ing" Besides this, the Baltic, one of Collins
line of steamers, has inade the fastest passage
yet known across the Atlantic" and according
to the American journals, has heen purchased
by British agents '.tor the purpose Of toIcing the
Cmard UesSels from one shore Of the ocean TO
the other" Finally, as if TO crown the triumphs
! Of the year, Americans have actually sailed
through the isthmus connecting the two CONT
nents of the New World, and, while English
men havebeen doubling and grudging, Yankees
have stepped in and won the day.
