About five o'clock this morning a most terrible fire broke out in St. Wer burgh's church, Dublin, which in a few hours entirely consumed that fine fabric, nothing being preserved from the confla gration but the steeple and vestry, all the body of the church being quite destroyed.

By fixing a tide-pole in the hole, and by devising a self-registering apparatus with a line leading from the tide-pole to the forecastle of the " Alert," we were" able to obtain a very complete and valuable series of tidal observations. From having the registering-gauge on board the ship, these observations were continued uninterruptedly, and were unaffected by gales of wind or bad weather, that would otherwise have prevented any one from going outside the vessel in order to note them.

Francis Hawks- bee, who was admitted a fellow of the Royal So- ciety in 1705, published several papers in the Transactions between that year and 1711, giving an account of a series of experiments, partly per- formed with a glass globe, in the course of which he noticed a number of facts connected with elec- trical attraction and repulsion, and in particular detected for the first time the remarkable pheno- menon of the production of light by friction.

The two oppo- site kinds, or exhibitions, of electricity (which he called the vitreous and the resinous) were disco- vered by Dufay, keeper of the King's Garden at Paris, before 1739; and he also showed that bodies similarly electrified repel, and those dissi- milarly electrified attract, each other.

HISTORY OF CLINTON COUNTY, MICHIGAN. 508 v PHILIP P. PECK, If the future generations are asked the question, " Who has done the most for America, the pioneer or the inventor of the telegraph, the locomotive, the steamboat, or the many great inventors of the present or any other age?" we believe the answer will be, " The Pioneer."

After passing St. Clements island, bring Trithal engine house in line with York house, N. -l W., and it will lead eastward of the Low Lee and Cam Base Rocks.

When abreast Carndu point, keep Tetterdu point well open south of the Cam Barges to avoid the Lelland (Rennell), after which the shore may be approached to a quarter of a mile. After passing St. Clements island, bring Trithal engine house in line with York house, N. -l W., and it will lead eastward of the Low Lee and Cam Base Rocks. The best anchorage is in about 9 fathoms, with the tower on mount St. Mi chael's in line with St. Hilary church spire bearing E. |- N. ; and the beacon on the Gear rock in line with the pier lighthouse N. by E. E. The anchorage for coasters is farther to the westward in Gwavas Lake in about 4| fathoms, with the centre of St. Clements island in line with Penlee point, S. by W. \ W. In approaching the bay from the southward, when between Carndu and Cuddan points, and proceeding in the line towards Gulval at the head of the bay, the soundings will gradually decrease from 20 to 9\ fathoms at low water.

The remoteness of the scene, along with the obscurity of frontier records, have the effect of throwing them for us as far back into picturesque distance as our own border raids and Highland feuds ; we do not readily imagine the scalping of telegraph operators and school teachers, or expect the screech of the war-whoop to be found mingling with the whistle of the locomotive.

These risings, with their attendant atrocities, are matters of chronicle and legend, best known to us, on this side of the Atlantic, through the school of fiction to which they have lent their thrilling incidents. The remoteness of the scene, along with the obscurity of frontier records, have the effect of throwing them for us as far back into picturesque distance as our own border raids and Highland feuds ; we do not readily imagine the scalping of telegraph operators and school teachers, or expect the screech of the war-whoop to be found mingling with the whistle of the locomotive. Few of us remember that one of the most sanguinary of Indian outbreaks took place not a generation ago, at a time, indeed, when our attention to American affairs was absorbed by a far more momentous struggle.

Its first constituent is obedience : a soldier is, of all descriptions of men, the most completely a machine ; yet his profession inevitably teaches him something of dogmatism, swaggering, and self-consequence : he is Uke the puppet of a showman, who, at the very time he is made to strut and sweU and display the most farcical airs, we perfectly know cannot assume the most insignificant gesture, advance either to the right or the left, but as he is moved by his exhibitor.

To these more serious and momentous considerations it may be proper to add a recollection of the ridiculousness of the military character. Its first constituent is obedience : a soldier is, of all descriptions of men, the most completely a machine ; yet his profession inevitably teaches him something of dogmatism, swaggering, and self-consequence : he is Uke the puppet of a showman, who, at the very time he is made to strut and sweU and display the most farcical airs, we perfectly know cannot assume the most insignificant gesture, advance either to the right or the left, but as he is moved by his exhibitor. — Godwin's Enquirer, Essay v.

But as comparisons seldom go on all four, the mill and the human machine differ in one respect: the miller, when he takes up his flashes, lays them it may be on the bank, goes whistling into his mill, and thinks no more till his grist is ground, for the water will work on forever unless he shuts it out again : but the valves used by the mind fall back again of them selves when the mind withdraws her activity.

The mind in this case works like the miller of an overshot mill, he has shoots lying over every one of his wheels, stopped by flash-boards at their upper ends, against which the water lies bearing always ready to drive the wheels whenever it can find a passage : so tbe miller by drawing a little board, which any child might pull up with a finger, turns the stream upon this wheel or that as he pleases, and twirls round a massive stone which he could not stir with both his arms. But as comparisons seldom go on all four, the mill and the human machine differ in one respect: the miller, when he takes up his flashes, lays them it may be on the bank, goes whistling into his mill, and thinks no more till his grist is ground, for the water will work on forever unless he shuts it out again : but the valves used by the mind fall back again of them selves when the mind withdraws her activity. Therefore if you would point with your hand at some object for any time, you must continue to exert yourself all the while : for the moment the mind forbears her volition, the valves close, the stream ceases to flow upon the brachial muscles, and the arm no longer supported falls to your side.

Her armament was to consist of thirty thirty-two-pounder guns, and two one hundred-pounder columbiads. A secondary engine was designed to throw floods of water upon the decks and through the port-holes of an enemy. While the vessel was building, reports concerning her reached England ; and soon the most ludicrously exaggerated accounts of her power were current in that country. "

Eight public and private fire-engines were on the spot at an early period, but for some time they were useless, from the inefficient supply of water, and it was not until four o'clock that the fire was subdued.

Eight houses in New Pandon Street were also set on fire by the intense heat, and completely gutted, and the destruc tion of the whole of that street appeared so probable that it was deter mined to pull down a house in order to arrest the progress of the flames, when, fortunately, the wind changed, and further danger was averted. Eight public and private fire-engines were on the spot at an early period, but for some time they were useless, from the inefficient supply of water, and it was not until four o'clock that the fire was subdued. No less than ninty-nine persons were rendered nearly destitute by the loss of their clothing and furniture in this sad catastrophe, and a public meeting was held, and the sum of £376 was subscribed for the relief of the sufferers.

This locomotive was always known as " Johnny Bull," or " Number One."

Perhaps you saw it at the Centennial, where the engineer who used to run it over the road was almost as much of a curiosity as the engine itself. This locomotive was always known as " Johnny Bull," or " Number One." The tank was a large hogshead, and, when running, the engineer and fireman had to stand in the open air.

In the top stone is inserted an upright handle for one or two persons to turn; and oc casionally a hole is bored which receives a staff suspended from the ceiling, and two women sitting opposite to each other twist this around, one of them from time to time dropping a pinch of grain into the orifice of the top block.
