The New metallic ALLOY" Oriede
is new metallic alloy, extensively used
in this country as substitute for gold.
1t is French discovery, and is called by
the French, gold oricde. II il mnnufac-
tured to large extent in Waterbury,
Connecticut. Ii bears a very close re-
semblancc to gold in color, density and
iincness Of grain, so close that it dcccives
every one but practical dealers and ex-
perts. Its component parts consist of
pure copper, 100 parts; zinc or (preCera-
bly) tin, II parts; magnesia, q parts !;
sal ammoniac, 3.G parts quick-lime, 1.9
parts; tartar of commerce, . parts; are
mixed as follows: tho copper is first melt
ed, when the magneSia, sal ammoniac,
lime. and tartar in powder, are added lit
tic by little the cruciblc is now briskly
stirred for half an hour, so us TO mix
thoroughly; and then the zinc il added
in small grains by throwing it on the sur.
face and stirring it until 1t iS entirely
fused; the cruciLle in then covered and
the fusion maintained for about thirty
five minutes. The surface is then skim.
med and the alloy is ready for casting.
The fineness Of grain in this alloy gives
to those objects Of art composed Of it, q
delicacy and purity Of detail that cannot
be obtained from bronze. The alloy is
essentially ductile and malleable, and can
be cast, rolled, drawn, stamped, chased,
beaten into powder or leaves, or treated
in any other way the artisan may desire.
The discovery Of this new alloy is really
wonderful, and its Use will have tenden-
cy to place within the reach Of oil the usc-
ful, ornamental, and higher products OF
art
The above article may have a special
value for some Of our readers in this re-
Spect-that when jewelry, &C., apparently
gold, is offered to them at low prices.
they are TO take the metal for the new
alloy, and calculate to pay accordingly.
The material, it will be seen, is very
cheap, the articles made Of it are very
beautiful, permanently so, We under
stand and purchasers have new reason
for buying only of known and reliable
denlers

BEAUTIFUL TmorGHT.- There is but a
breath of mir and beat Of the heart be-
tween this world aud the next And in
the brief interval of painfulneSs and awful
suspense, while We feel that death is
pressing upon us, that he is all powerful
and We are powerlcss, and that the last
faint pulsation here is but tho prelude Of
endless life hereafter; VIC feel, In the
midst Of stunning calamity about to fall
upon us, that earth has no compensation
sufficient to mitigate the severity of our
loss. But there is no grief without some
muniHccnt provision to soften intenseness.
When the good and the lovely die, the
memory of their deeds, like the moon
beams on the stormy sea, light mp our
darkcncd hearts, and lends to the sur
rounding gloom beauty so sad, SO sweet.
that we would not, il We could, dispel the
darkness that environs it.

heard--and the story wears an air Of ve-
racity-that, one day, as Brougham was
leaving the House Of Lords, he met a
friend who was proudly escorting two
very handsome young ladies'. All,
BrOugham," was his greeting, 81 am
sorry you are leaving, because my fair
young friends had made up their minds
to hear you address the House"
"Thcn," said Broughan, casting an eye
of admiration upon the expectant audi
ence, "they shall not be disappointed :
and back he returned to his accustomed
place among the peers, while the ladies
were escorted to the gallery. Lord Mel
bourne was then in office and when the
first pause in the proceedings occurred,
up jumps BrOugham with question upon
some intricate matter Of foreign policy
The poor premier smiled amiably, but
hopelessly; he is not acquainted with
facts no notice had been given of the
| question he is very sorry, but must in
quire for information. This was oil that
BrOugham required. Once more he rises
but with that terrible frown upon his
brow, and that rugged voice with which
he so well knew how to crush IN oppo
nent. A philippe against the capacity o.
the minister, the negligence with which
public affairs were conducted, the shame
less supineness and indifference manifest
ed by the adviser Of the Queen, was
poured forth in all the rough, strong
rapid eIoquence Of which this man alone
was capable. Lord Melbourne covered
in his seat; the rumOrs Of this speech
brought lOungers from the Commons tc
listen to what seemed the death-blow o
the ministry; Queen Victoria hersel
heard what was going on, and trembleC
for her amiable minister. A leading ar
ticlc appeared in the next days Times
treating the speech as something of thu
last importance; and it was only made
after all, to please q pair Of pretty womer
in the gallery, who took it as they woulC
any other tribute of homage to thei
beauty-a bouquet, a box at the opera, o
new bonnet.

word compromise" from the oblivion to
which the hate Of the editor Of the Mirror
would consign it. have endeavOred to
show that It has done much good in the
world, and has been the cause, in q great
degree, Of the prosperity and happiness Of
our people. Knight go further and prove
that nsither In civil nor domestic life can
we well dispense with the use Of this
word, or with conforming our actions to
its import. No man can be q good or
agreeable citizen who will never defer to
the opinions Of his neighbOrs, or good
husband who will never compromise with
his wife. In fine, . man who will not
compromise, but insists on all occasions
that others shall bend to his toiU is ty-
rant at heart, no matter what may be his

for slate has rapidly increased. and the bus

want Of cheap, durable. fire proof roofs can
only be supplied by slate, and their use in
this country will soon be as common rs in
England. where. comparatively, no other
roof is known. Their durability is beyond
precedent; they arc known to have been on
roofs in this country over one hundred gears
and the same slate removed, and put on new
buildings. The objections that have been
urged against slate, such as breaking by
frost, extra cost over other good roofs, &c.,
are entirely exploded wherever they have
been used, and it has been demon s:rated
that they are cheaper and more durable
than any other roof in use; and their intro
duction always disabuses the minds OF peo
pie of prejudices contracted by ignorance Of
their qualities, or by advice of hcuse-car
penters. whose supposed interests have led
them to oppose slate roofs. The experience
