The ESCAPE OF MRS. BILANsKY, THE MUIR
DEREss.-After our paper for yesterday morn
ine had been closed on Monday evening, the
report was circulated through the City that
Mrs. Anne Bilansky, confined in the County
jail and awaiting sentence for murder in the
first degree, had escaped by some means, and
was at large. Though nobody was surprised
in the least-that has lived here the last three
wears, during which time some dozen or more
prisoners have escaped from justice
every one felt outraged at the occurrence,
which they felt must have occurred through
either the connivance of the keepers of the
prison, or the grossest carelessness on their
part, and it will be hard to allay the suspicious
of the first supposition.
Sheriff Caldwell lays the entire blame on
Pat. Smith, the Turnkey who was on duty at
the time, and says it was his dsobedience OF
orders and neglect that was the cause of Mrs.
BIS escape. That's an improvement on the
old joke, nobody to blame"
Mrs. Bilansky during her confinement has
been treated with great leniency. She has
had the freedom of all the passages, halls,
and floors of the Jail, and not been shut up
in her cell except part of the time. when
the decision of the Supreme Court was made
on Saturday, cutting off all hopes of escape
and presenting only the alternative of death OF
Imprisonment for life, the Sheriff says he was
impressed with the necessity of combining hel
more closely, and told Smith not to trust he'
out of his sight, unless she was under lock
and bar. But Pat didn't doit he says-and
so the murderess walks quietly down stairs
so goes the account climbs up into the win
dow, crawls out ooer the grating-in daylight
mark you-and when looked for was proba
bly, in a secure retreat, and laughing at justice
and sheriffs. A pretty state of affairs truly
OF course, now since the horse is stolen, thu
| door will be locked. The gratings will be re
paired, and-everybody will forget all abou
the present affair until another escape makes
them hold up their hands in horror again.
Everybody who has lived here three year.
knows how that is. Meantime, Mrs Bilansk..
in disguise, is doubtless amusing herself b.
reading the handbills offering reward 10
her own apprehension.

~ Gen. Tom Thumb (Charles S. STRAIT
ton,) was to leave Liverpool on Wednesday
last, in the steamer City Of Washington. He
has been absent three years. He is now twen-
y-one years of age, having attained his ma
jority in January last. Since that period he
has managed his own affairs, and, as we I'M
derstand, has conducted his exhibitions sue
cessfully. Indeed, those who know him best
Saw that, although an infant in size, he is above
the average of those of his age in point of in
telgence. The Bridgeport Farmer says that
he has secured comfortable independence
will settle in Bridgeport, and is ready to en-
terrain offers of marriage.

The Peace-..COmments OF the New York

------------.---,NEw YoRK, July 26.
The Hera1ds money article says the resto-
ration of peace in Europe, the most important
event that has happened since the war broke
out, produced little or no effect in commercial
or financial circles here to-day, The news
caused the French funds to advance q per
cent, the British 3, and other foreign stock in
proportion But in New York neither mer-
chandise nor stocks, nor money nor exchange,
have been perceptibly affected. No duubt the
season Of the year, which is proyerbia1y, un-
favorable for speculation movements, is in
measure the cause of the prevailing apathy.
Something is also due to the complete sway
which the bears exercise over the stock ex-
change, and which for the present paralyzes
the action of that body. 1t may be doubted
whether the duh indifference manifested in all
monetary and commercial matters to-day, can
oe OF long duration: .dgg . sjye i8.o-ufgg1
The Post says that while the news from
Europe appears most unsatisfactory for two
important interests-the western trader and
the lmporter-yet there is Of course much
reason Tor congratulation that so agitating an
element as EurOp, On war is removed from
the financial system, permitting wider action
of confidence, the essential condition Of pros
perity IN the aggregate. Who can doubt that
whatever may be the temporary disldvanta-
ges to the west, and however slow the recov-
cry from embarrassment, the termination of
War will greatly facilitate business interests,
and establish better and much safer state Of
things generally. .aan.
The New York Herald, in an editorial on
the effects of the peace on the commercial in
terests, say they may be Of serious import to
this country, If we do not meet them calmly
and with foresight Viewing the results of
| the war, and its sudden termination in the
aspect with the results of the Crimean war,
attended as they are with failure in the bread
stuifs and provision speculations, and with
reckless speculation in imports, they are not
Without menace to our commercial affairs
The close OF the present year leaves US III I'M
minent danger of an another panic if we do
not exercise the utmost caution to avoid it. -
But in one respect the war has benefited us.
1t has increased the government revenue con-
siderably, at very opportune moment.

DEATH AMONG THE GoLD-FIsH.-W Wherever
you meet with folks who keep goldfish in the
old fashioned glass globes, you will be sure to
hear the melancholy complaint that they will
die, IN spite of every care taken TO preserve
them. The water is changed most regularly
the glass kept beautifully clean, the vessel
shaded from sunshine; yet, alas alas death
is always busy amongst them. Is it internal
disease Is it external fungi? No; the cause
is starvation. Every other pet is expected to
eat but these goldcarp are expected to subsist
on-nothing "But don't they eat the animal.
cuae 2" Nonsense Give them few small
earth worms, or anglers gentles twice week
and to prevent the necessity of frequently
changing the water. throw in handful of An.
acharis, water weed and instead Of floating
in succession con their watery bier" they win
get plump and healthy, and grow as rapidly MS
in their native waters. Some of our goldfish
have been in our possession seven years, and
have increased in size three times what they
were originally Science.

DURABILITY OF TIMBER.-The durability
of timber is almost incredible The following
are few examples for illustration, being
yOuched for by Button, Du Hamel, Rondelet,
and others =
The piles of a bridge built by Trajan, after
having been driven more than sixteen hun
dred years, were found to be petrfed four
inches, the rest of the wood being in its ordina-
ry condition.
The elm piles under the piers of London
Bridge have been in use more than seven hun.
dred years, and are not yet materially decay,
ed.
Beneath the foundation of Savoy place,
London, oak, elm, beech, and chestnut piles
and planks were found in a state of perfect pre-
servation, after having been there Tor six hun
dred and fifty years
While taking down the old walls of Turn
bridge Castle, Kent, there was found, in the
middle of thick stone wall, timber curb
which had been enclosed for seven hundred
years.
Some timbers of an old bridge were discov-
cred while digging for the foundations of a
house at Ditton Park, Windsor, which ancient
records incline us to believe were placed there
prior to 1856.
The durability of wood out of the ground is
even greater still. The roof of the basilica of
st. Paul, at Rome, was framed in the year SIG,
and now, after more than thousand years, it
is still sound and the original cypress wood
doors of the same building, after being in use
more than six hundred years, were, when re-
placed by others..of brass, perfectly free from
rot or decay, the wood retaining its original
odor. The timber dome of st. Mark, at Ven
ice, is still good, though more than eight hun
dred and fifty years old. The roof OF the ia
Goblin Convent at Paris, which is of fir, was
executed more than four hundred and fifty
years ago.
The age of our country's settlement does
not enable us to refer to examples Of like an
tiquty but no good reason appears to exist
why timber may not be as durable in America
as in Europe. Many old white pine cornices
here exist, which, having been kept properly
painted, have been exposed to the storms of
more than hundred and fifty years. The
woods still sound and the cornices are as good
as when they were made; while freestone, in
the same neiglborhood, has decayed badly in
less than fifty years.-Silo~ay's Iert- Boot Of
Modern Carpentry.
