A TRUE STORY.

On the evening Of the 18th Of February
1850, two young men sat in a comfortably
furnished room in a New York boarding
house A bright fire glowed in the CRATE,
well chosen engravings adorned the walls
and q bright light was diffused about the
room from an Argand burner.
Let me introduce the occupants Il the
apartment as Tom Stacy and John Wilbur,
young men Of twenty-five or thereabouts,
who were known in the business circles as
Stacy & Wilbur, retail dry goods dealers,
No. --, Broadway. They had not been In
business long, but were already doing un-
usually well. They had taken apartments
together, one of which is now presented to
the reader.
:" Had it occurred TO you Wilber," asked
his partner, removing his cigar, and knock
ing sway the ashes, that tomorrow is St.
VaIer ines Day n"
" Yes, / thought Of it this afternoon, as
was walking up from the store
/" So did |, and to some purpose, too, as
will show you"
Tom Stacy went to . drawer, and drew
out gorgeous valentine, an elaborate com
bination Of hearts. doves, etc.
g What do you think gave for that 7 y
he asked.
Il don't know, I'm sure. 1t appears tc

"And what good do you think it win d,

Wait till you see the kind Of valentine

Wilbur went TO his desk, and taking ou
a sheet Of paper, drew from his portemonnai,
ten dollar bin, wrapped it in the paper ol
which he had previously written frc.a st
Valentine" and placed the whole in an en-
velope.

The British Government have at last de-
termined to relieve the Irish people OF one
Of their most fruitful causes Of complaint,
by aboiishlng the Roman Catholic test oath
Tha' oath practically debarred every con-
scientious Catholic from holding any posi-
ton under the British government. It net
only required Catholic to swear allegiance
to the Protestant dynasty, but it likewise
compelled him to recognize the Church Of
England rs the true exponent Of the Chris
tian religion. At the session Of Parliament
preceding the present one, an effort was
made by the progressive party to have the
obnoxious oath abolished, but the movement
was defeated by the party representing the
wishes Of the Government We can only
imagine the cause that has induced the
change now manifested by the latter party,
but it is certain they now propose entirely
to blot out the Objectionable restriction
on Catholics. Upon test vote in the House
of Commons, on the 9th inst, only five
members out Of nearly seven hundred dis
sented to the abolishmcnt Of the oath. The
proposition now is to establish form OF
oath that shall have no sectarian features
about it, but which shall require nothing
more from Catholic or q Jew than Is re-
quired from a most devout member Of the
Established Church This is the most i'm
portsnt move in the direction Of liberalism
that has been made by the British Govern
ment for many years.

The following are he latest details received
Of the bombardment Of this place by the
Spanish squadron, under the command oi
Admiral Nuuex sa
The Peruyians had nine batteries manned
with SO FOUNDER guns, and 800 pounder
Armstrong;, and 450 FOUNDER Blakely rifles
besides iron-clads Leo and Victoria, arc
three wooden gunboats.
In less than half an hour the Villa de-
Madrid had her motive power deranged, and
was towed out of action. The Bevenguels
moved out twenty minutes later, having re
ceived heavy rified shot near the water
line, leaking badly and was obliged to career
to prevent sinking.
At half-past two the Blanca and Resolu
cion retired to repair injuries, but soon re
turned to their positions, and with the rest
Of the feet, except the two first named
continued the fight until the end Of ths
action.
Soon after the commencement Of the bat
tie, Peruvian battery, containing two soc
FOUNDER Armstrong; s. was blown up, dis
mounting the guns and killing and wound
ing every one in the vicinity. In another
battery a 800 FOUNDER Armstrong was dis
mounted at the first Are. With this excep
ton, the fire Of the ruvian batteries wa,
heavy and well drecteJ, and every moment
became more fatal and destructive
Soon after five O'Clock the Spaniards re-
tired, the batteries firing until they were ou'
Of range. The last gun was fred by the
monitor Victoria
The Peruvians are said to have lost sixty
killed and l70 wounded.
The shot disabling the steampipe Of the
Villa de Madrid, killed eighteen and wound.
ed twenty one, and il was thought there
from that the total Spanish loss far exceed
ed that Of the Peruvians. That vessel had
eight shot holes in he. side. The Blanca
wss struck forty times, and others nearly
as many.
The Nlmancia, being iron-clad came Of
very well, bat one eight inch rifle projectiie
pierced her FIVE and half inch iron plating,
and went partly through the wooden pack
ing. She was fought so as to receive the
fire at an angle, hence her plating caused
the shot to glance,
Officers Of the Vanderbilt think the Span.
iards were in no condition to rentw the
attempt. They had only solid shot, 50 the
city was little injured.
Commodore Rogers writes that he receiv-

four days for neutrals to leave. He gives q
minute account Of the bombardment. The
Peruvian bstteries had 40 guns; A fifty
pouuders, (Blakesley's) and three hundred
Founders, and 3 Armstrong;.
The Villa de Madrid withdrew, her steam
escaping freely.
Both sides fought with courage. The
Spaniards exhausted their ammunition.
The killed and wounded on land was 81.
The Spaniards were obviously badly punish

Fear Of torpedoes kept tEe Spaniards at
long range. One was picked up in the
harbor.

10. 1t is poisonous, and causes violent

1t may be proved, theoretically, that nitro

not only does its decomposition give rise 4

s. Blasting work can be done in shorter

4. The fact that it leaves no residue after
the explosion. This is important in work
ing rock salt.
8. Great rapidity Of explosion, which
permits the nitro-glycerine to be used with
advantage IN loose rocks with many Joints
where powder would have scarcely any
effect.
