FIRE Poor SAFEs.-The fame of s. G.
Herring's patent salamander safes. is world
wide. During the last several years they have
been tried in the many disastrous confagra-
tons that have swept away thousands ofware-
houses in the different cities of the Union, and
taken out of the burning ruins unscathed. At
the great fire in New York in 1845, by which
400 houses were burnt, one Of these safes was
taken from the Wondering ruins, after having
been exposed to the most intense heat for six
ty hours, and the books and papers inside
were found in a good state of preservation
AT the destructive fires in Albany, N. Y, in
1S47 and 4S; in Providence, r. l., in 1876;
Sag-Harbor, N. Y, in 1915; Tallahassee, Flor
ida, in 1S43; New Orleans, 1850; San Fran
cisco, California, in 1850, and St. Louis in
1849, these safes were encased in flames and
live embers for periods varying from twelve to
fifty hours and although, of course, injured
externally, were found upon being opened, free
from interior damage, with their contents of
books, papers, money, jewelry, &C., exempt
from scorch or injury. And these are but q
moety of the cases in which these infallible in
surances, safes have proved their fre-protect-
ing virtues. We were led to make these COM
ments upon most meritorous invention, after
viewing variety of newly finished safes of this
patent, now on sale at Messrs. Fry & McCand-
lish's, No. 1876 Carey street and particularly
after seeing one of them that, like the three
children of old, had come out unframed from
the fiery furnace; even the wood-casing inside
remained unscorched. This safe may be in
lay "a hours in the burning ruins Of Wool
sey's great Congress Sugar House, burnt
10 N. Y. few years since. We might multiply
certificate upon certificate as to the complete
invulnerbility of these safes when subject to
the test ofintense heat for many days at time,
but as it is against lesser and accidental fires
that protection is mainly needed, further proof
would add but little. perhaps, to their reputa-
tion-suffice to say, that wherever tried they
have never been found wanting. We particu-
larly recommend these safes to the merchants
of this city and the State generally, though
their deeds of protection against the ravages of
the flames speak louder than any words we
can use. All who desire perfect insurance
of their commercial books, accounts and pa
pers, articles OF the counting room, which, if
destroyed by fire, cannot be reimbursed by the
paid policies of insurance associations, Should
invest a moderate sum in one of Herring's
inimitabe salamanders. AT the Worlds Fair,
in London, this great American invention tri-
umphed over every competitor, receiving the
first premium.

with in the sale of the very celebrated "F2etcher's

the recipe for making so valuable preparation The

the Saloon, under the American Hotel. The manu-

THE LAST WoNDER.-By invitation of the man
ayers of the Bowery Amphithestre, we yesterday
had the pleasure of witnessing professor McCor
mlcks experiment of walking on an inverted plane
The experiment was a private one, only a few
persons being present. and was made under very
dlsadvantaguous circumstances-the preparations
being necessarily incomplete, and the health OF
Professor Mccormick being somewhat feeble
The experiment however, passed off to the entire
satisfaction of all present. A heavy frame was
erected, with slab of marble, nine feet long, at
the top, the under surface being polishe dixie a
mirror. We saw the experimS ntor mount his
plattrom, and adjust his unwieldly boots; tn n.
placed both feet against the surface of the marble
he swung himself off, with his head downwards.-

ANOTHER LETTER FROM LADY.


A fair correspondent tells us that we mis-
take the motive of the ladies in not going to
see Lola-that it proceeded, not from false del
icacy, but from rirtue! Perhaps she is right.
In the meantime, we cannot but think how
prodigiously edifyng to rirtue must have been
the entertainments Of Bishop and Bochsa,
those models of all that is correct in life Our
correspondent adds, "had Madame Lola been
as renowned for virtue as she has been for de-
throning Kings and making them, as we'll as
others, drink of NORWOOD and gall, she would
have found but few indicators of her cause
among the Lords of Creation" Perhaps We
may be allowed to suggest, that in that event
she would not have needed the "vindcation -"
of anybody. She appeals, farther, to every
lover of virtue, to say whether the ladies have
not acted right Sin this case" We do not
mean to deny that they have. All we have
said from the first has been to the effect, that if
they have been right in this instance, they
were anything but right in the case of Bishop
and Bochsa. Let them be consistent, that is
