@ The Brooklyn Coroner has con-
cluded an inquest on the bodies of three
of the children who were suffocated at
the fire which recently occurred in one
of the public schools of that city. Oh
course, the verdict was-"Nobody to
blame" Although the woodwork of
the building came in contact with the
hot air pipes in several places, yet the
builder was not to blame for such care
lessness. 1t was unreasonable to sup
pose that the building would not, sooner
or later, be burned; and the only marvel
is that so few lives were sacrificed to the
stupidity of the man who planned the
building. And yet Coroner's jury says
Nobody is to blame" What a farce
such investigations are!

FROM MExIco.-The latest advices from
Mexico are to the 2lst instant. The country
is in complete state of anarchy. All the
mail stages between Vera Cruz and the Ca
pital have been robbed. Nearly all the town
are declaring against Comonfort. The city
of Mexico is in state of siege. in the 11th
instant, the Zuloaga brigade, which first
declared for Dictatorship, pronounced
against Commonfort. 1t holds the Citadel
and barracks of San Augustin and Santa
Domingo. Comonfort hssl been refused
admittance to the last named place. Com
onfort assembled two thousand troops at the
place with artillery, and arrested General
Zuloaga, but afterwards released him on
parole. A portion of the Zuloaga brigade is
in favor of Zuolaga for the Presidency, while
others favor Santa Anna. On the 18th inst
San Augustin was attacked by Comonfert's
troops, bat were repulsed. All foreigners in
the country had hoisted tho flags of their re-
spective countries. Confusion reigns in the
capital.

w-The Utah Army is now in winter

ew-The Utah Army is now in winter
quarters at Camp Scott, near Fort Bridger
where they arrived on the 14th of December.
The march from the Camp on Blacks Fork,
commenced on the 7th of November, and
the first fifteen miles was the severest jour
ney ever made by 50 large portion of the
United States Army. On the first day their
progress was so hindered by the giving out
and death of mules and cattle, that they did
not reach the camping ground until after
eleven O'Clock at night. The tents had then
to be pitched IN tn. dark, on snow nearly a
foot deep, and supper was cooked in o raging
snow storm. On the 10th ninety mules
died, and also very large number of cattle.
On reaching Fort Bridger, all the buildings
surrounding the Fort Were found in ashes.
The spot had the appearance OF sacked
and abandoned village. The settlement had
contained eighteen houses, besides grist and
saw mill.
The troops have built number of cabins
for their winter quarters; and DIR. Forney,
the Superintendent of Indian Affairs, has
erected large office. 1t is also contemplated
to build q court house and Jail. Gov. Cum
mings has concluded not to build q house,
but to spend the winter in a tent. Several
stores had also been erected, and it was con-
templated to construct a building for pho
tographic gallery.
The quarters Of the soldiers are said to be
comparatively comfortable, the fine timber:
in which they are encamped affording shelter
from the winds, and good material fol
building. They are also provided with th'
Sibley tent, in the centre of which o fire car
be built.
Before leaving Blacks Fork, they wer
joined by Mr.. Jesse Jones and the wife of th'
former Surveyor of Utah, both OF whom haC
made their escape from Salt Lake. They re
ported that all the Gentiles had been ordere,
to leave the city, and that the Mormons ha'
on several occasions robbed the stores of Am
ercan residents.

SMoKELEss FuENAcEs.-A Scotch inventor
has constructed smokeless furnace, main
popularity of which is that the draugh. is
reversed, that is, the flame, air, &C., proceed
downward through and from the fire, and on
this account it is designated the down-draught
furnace. The principals of its action is very
simple. The smoke, liberated from the SUI
perincumbent coal, is, by means of the sue
ton of the chimney, carried along with due
admixture Of air down through the brightly
burning fuel, which forms the lower stratum
of the fire, and thus becomes intensely heat
ed and completely burned. By this arrange
ment the combustion is very rapid; in somo
experiments made with CRATE of five eighths
of square foot in area, the combustion was
at the rate of thirty pounds of coal per square
foot of CRATE each hour--the height of the
chimney being nearly thirty-five feet. This
result is probably duo to the self-clearing
power of the furnace, and the comparatively
dense state of the air when it mingles with
the fuel. The combustion readily spreads
upward to the fresh coal, from thu action OF
the strong radiant heat.

MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRADE,

On tuesday nlgnt, was very Iuii
and highly interesting congregation of
our business men of all classes. The
report of Judge Foster was drawn up
with a great deal Of ability, and gave
Q very lucid and encouraging account Of
the business of the city for the year
1857. The statistics were acknowledged
not to be fully complete. as the first at
tempt to collect them was necessarily
imperfect; many omissions were inevita-
bic; and as nothing has been enunera-
ted but what had been found, the state
ments, where they err at all, will be
less than the actual business. In making
up the reports, no loosee stimates have
been admitted, and no attempt at exa,-
geration had been allowed. The COM
1nittee deserve the thanks of their fell
w-citizens for the labor and care they
have bestowed upon the subject; and
Judge Foster, especially, merits high
praise for his well digested Report The
Report was unanimously adopted, and
referred to a committee to have it print
ed for circulation at home and abroad.
It is proposed that every business man
shall subscribe for number Of copies oil
the Report and such papers as shall be
attached to it, and send them to each o
his correspondents and customers. In
this way, business men, by attaching
their card to the pamphlet, can advertise
their own business, in permanent form
while making known the advantages o
the city as a market and business
point.
The spirit manifested by the meetin;
was cheering, and afforded strong guar
antee that the organization of Boar
of Trade is now one Of the fixed inStl
tutions of the city-one that will d
much for its commercial advancement an
the extension Of its manufactures. Th
little that has been done shows the in
fuence of association to create and stin
ulate an active public spirit among br
siness men, without which nothing in
portant for the general interest can
accomplished. The great need OF OF
city has been a unity and concert in a
tion among its active citizens. The Boar
of Trade promises to infuse stronge
feeling of the community of interest
existing at all times among citizens
the same city.
The next meeting Of the Board
Trade will be held on Tuesday, the 9,
ofPebruary.
