A private exhibition Of = very novel character
was given yesterday In Joneas Wood by an Ital-
ian gentleman, who styled himself Cristoforo
Buono Core, or the Fire King, who stood In the
midst OF fierce fire for nearly half an hour, thor.
opghly establishing his claim to the title he has
| Assumed. The entertainment was quite curious
but the Sgnor has higher claims for his invocation
| than mere show. II WAS accorded by all present
| yesterday that the Signor made good his claims
and his invention merits the attention Of thoB'
lnterested-and who ia not!- the saving Of
| human life.
The moSt ample arrangements have been per
fected TO have the feat performed In the most oas
factory manner, upon the stage of the Canterbury
