ITEMS OF FOREIGN NEWS. The address of Sfr John Key, the City Chamberlain aid the presentation of the freedom of the City to Prince .Frederick William of Prus sia, is worthy of perusal as a speofenen of miser able fustian. Soraps from Enfield’s “Speaker,” Quotations'from Victoria melodrames, mottoes from benefit "societies’ flags, studded the long-winded oration of the dreary old gentleman, who wound up a speech, which the Prime could not understand by presenting him with the freedom of the city, which h&will never make use of. The Prince must have suffered & good deal from this style'of addrps* in his native land,'but surely no Ober-hurgomeiflter throughout the length and breadth of Prussia pan have talked-suoh arrantnonsense as Sir John Key. — Ulustrated-LondonTimes. . « Dr. Hinds,, Bishop of Norwich, lately re signed his see, on a pension. It is reporifd that, some time back, he contraoted a matrimonial con nection very much below his own rank. The mar riage was kept a secret; bat,, as the. Bishop was aware that it would not long roxuain so, he came to the resolution of resigning at once, without stipulating for any provision, in,order that he might prevent the dignity of bis order from being compromised by a step which most people would deem an imprudent one.

In the latter year there was an inoreaso in oats, bar ley, here, rye, potatoes, turnips, mangold wurtzol, flax and nay—large in potatoes, turmps, mangold wurtEel and barley. Tne was a small deoro&se in wheat and oabbago. Among' Other matters, the report refers to emigration; and it is shown that in the first four months of this year, the number of emigrants was greater than in the same period of last year. Lord Palmerston has received a special in vitation from the Fronoh Emperor to be his guest at Fontainebleau during the visit of Queen Victo ria. His lordship will accordingly accompany the Queen in her visit. The New French Deputies. —Nothing is as yet decided about General Cavaienno, M. Goud cbaax/audM. Carnot, the newly-elected deputies for Paris, taking the oaths to the Constitution and their seats in the Legislative Corps; but of MM. Olivier and Darimon, two loss important mem bers of the democracy, there is no doubt; these am less straight-laced in their principles. It is probable that tho three first-named Wilt yield to the all but unanimous wish of their constituents, and submit, though mnoh against their will, to that indispensable condition. Tho Paris Moniteur contains the revenue fa bles of the Minister of Finance for 1857, with the comparative receipts of the first throe months of 1855 and 1856. From these it appears that the produce of indirect taxes for the first quarter of 1857 i5—526,017,00Gf. against 499,732,000 f. in 1856, and 442,962,000 f. in 1855; showing an increase of 83,055,000 f. over last year, and 26,285,000 f. os compared with 1855. The persons lately arrested for an attempt on the life of the Emperor of the French will be tried at the Court of Assises early in August. They are all Italians, three men and one woman. It is again announced that the Duke de Grommont, French Minister at Turin, is to be ap pointed Ambassador to St. Petersburg, in the place of the Count de Horny. The prospect of a good vintage in France this year has at length caused a decided fall of price in the wino market. The first bunch of ripe grapes was plucked early in July, at Osterspey, in N&Bsau. In the famous year of 1811 the first bnnoh was pioked only on the 13th of July, so that the most sanguine hopes may bo entertained of this year’c vintage. Kissengen, where the Emperor and Empress of Russia and their family are* at present staying, is a town of .

A letter from Warsaw, in the rfugsburg Ga zette, says:—“The censorship is ns active and so rcre here as evey, and the journals are not per' xnitted to:publish a lino relating to Warsaw or Poland' It consequently ensues that very incor* rcot accounts of our position are frequently given by foreign journals.” The Bund gives an account of the opening of the'Swiss Exhibition of Arts and Industry, at Berno, on Sunday week. It seems to have boon most prosperously inagurated. The. Spanish Cortes have voted by a large majority, a law calculated to put an end to the liberty-of the press in that country. We learn from Madrid that the harvest had commenced .throughout Spain, and its yield ex* oeeded all expo-station; the price of wheat was. consequently falling.

The State Legislature, tenderly solicitous for the welfare of the virtuous Gothamites, (and rather anxious to tie the hands Of the Mayor,) passed an aot whereby the government of the police in Now, York ana Brooklyn was transferred from the’ Mayor, Aldermen and Common Counoil of thpse respective cities, and placed undor a new Board of (well-paid) Commissioners, appointed by the Governor, three belonging to New York, two hail ing from districts out of that city, and two more, vU t the Mayors of Now York and Brooklyn, being members exoMcio. After considerable delay nqd expensive litigation, in which the validity of the. statute was. challenged, on the ground of its being, unconstitutional, tho Act was legally pronounced good., The Mayor of New York immediately sub mitted to the decision of the Supreme Court, ahd at once disbanded tho old polioe. The now Com missioners had not been able to organize (heir polioe! efficiently, and, disgraoing the glorious Fourth of July, rioting prevailed to a large orient with disastrous consequences. Menntimo, thq.new Police, Commissioners acted together with great unanimity. Four of them, (Draper, Nye, Strana han, and Bowen,) were of the Black Republican party; Mr. Cholwell, tho fifth, was a Native American. Suddenly, Mr. Draper, Chairman, of the Bqard, sent in bis resignation. At the time, { Mr. Cholwell suspended his attendance, leaving his remaining three colleagues all aldno In their glory. Then, unexpectedly, Messrs. MVood and Powell, (the Mayors of New York and Brook lyn,) quietly took their seats; Mr. Cholwefysud* denlyj re-appeared, (voting with the Demodfctio Mayors,) ana the Board Is balanced, three to thrde, which[cau9es strange do-nothingism. The euccds sor tq Mr. Draper is to bo appointed to-morrow —the other Commissioners having the nomination. The American party are trying hard for the office, [but with small chance of success. If Mr. Cholwell hold out, nobody will bo eleoted. TheJ dispute about the Commisfiionership of streets, (the Governor having appointed Mr. Con over, and the Mayor and Corporation having given the office to Mr. Devlin,) rages furiously, and, os it is a good job for the lawyers, will probably be con tinued as long as either litigant will bleed. Though New York pays more for street-clean ing, and with fewer visible results, than any other oity in tho world, at tho samo ratio of cost, the inhabitants of Broadway, her leading thorough fare, have been compolled to form an association for keeping that street free from dust in dry, and from mud in wet weather, at their own proper cost, in addition to the tax whioh they must pay. The great majority of tho streets in Now York have not been twice cleaned during the lsst ton months. One good thing has latoly been done in New York—the public houses and drinking saloons have generally boon kept closed on the two last Sun days.! In Philadelphia, where the sale of intoxi cating liquor on the Sabbath is strictly prohibited, there may bo some surprise that this was not dono beford, but the liquor interest is very strong in Now |York, and Mr. Wood, who commonced his first Mayoralty with a demonstration against Sun day was so very inefficientlybacked by the authorities, that ho was unable to carry it on. It remains to be seen how long the present en forcement will be continued. Thd proceedings of the Vigilaneo Committee in San Francisco startled the people at tho time! No one expoeted that such an extremo measure would be resulted to in these ultra-civilized re gions!. Crime is not lessened, but sometimes in oreosbd and intensified, pari passu with civili zatiop. Lapt Monday night, a Mr. Van Liow left his own dwelling to purouuso a bottle of porter for his wife, and . was brutally murdered, as woll as robbed, at tho corner of Meroer stroet, near Canal, ono Of tho greatest thoroughfares in New York. Two Wards (the sth and 6th) had a conjunct public meeting on Wednesday, when, considering how little protection and security thero is in that city forproperly and life, they formed themselves into a Vigilance Committee, “ for the better protection of their fellow-citizens and property, and to deal out that justice to the violators of law and order which will give them little or no chance to evade theiij merits through tho technicalities of tho law.*’ They have offered $l,OOO rewnrd for tho arrest and conviotion of the murderer or murder ers. ! As yot the city has not offered any reward. Upon the whole, New Yoik is “ all in a mud dle, f (as Stephen Blackpool says,) and has the sat isfaction of being more heavily taxed, proportiona bly to its size ana population, than anyotnor city. Tho Worst is that even this heavy taxation does not eecuro good order. Nor, with the checks placed by the State Legislature upon the ruling authority of the Chifef Magistrate, do I sec how the evils complained of can be easily remedied or removed. X. Y. Z. THE CROPS. Wool growing as a crop has greatly dimin ished of latein New England, and increased most wonderfully in tho Middle and Western States.— In 1840, the number of pounds raised in the New Eugljand States was 6,440,909; in 1850, 5,085,509. In the Middle and Western States, the inoreaso in that period was 14,573,583 pounds, while in New Englaud thero was a deoreaso of 1,355,400 pounds. Ohio! is the greatest wool State in the Union; Ver mont,taNew England Connecticut, in 1840, raised 889,870 pounds; in 1850,497,454. Ono of the causes of this falling off in our State is, that tho dog is found to he a more usoful and profitable animal than the sheep, and many of our citizens prefer those dogs that thrive the best on mutton. Ttyo Louisville (Ky.) Courier says:— c <Tho harvest is now nearly or quite over throughout Kentucky, and in yield ot grain is the finest, largest, heaviest and best ever known in this State. The yield is not only extraordinarily large, but tjbo quantity of ground cultivated waß far be yond any previous season.” Ttyo hemp in Ray county, Missouri, will, it is stated, average over one ton to tho acre. This is anjextraordinary yield for that section. The Alexander Sentinel says, the first new flour of the season came down the Orange road on the 3lst ult. The Newark Eagle says the farmers aro en gaged at the present time in gathering in the har vest,: which is everywhere plenteous. Tho copious rains have been produotive of the heaviest hay crop that ha? been out for years, and every other orop with hardly an exception, promises a rich re turn for the labors of the husbandman. The far mers complain of scarcity of hands. The Commissioner of Patents c* Washington has received a letter dated Evansville, Indiana, in which the writer states that the crops of Southern Indiana and Southern Illinois are beyond all precedent. The “oldest inhabitant’’ says that nothing has been known Uko It. They are now harvesting, and tho rust has done no damage. Cora is late. The crops of whoat, ryo, grass and potatoes will exceed from present appearances, all former products. The Payton (Ohio) Gazette gives the following information in regard to tho crops in that section. “The whoat south of Bay ton, and nearly all up as high as Troy, is nearly all cut and a great deal secured in the barn. It is, so far as we have observed, pronounced the largest yield and best crop ever produced in tho Miauii valley. Harvest hands are scarce, and high prices aro obtained. Three dollars per day has been paid, we are told, for rakers ami binders. Tho corn crop is growing, the farmers say, at the rate of four to six inches per day, dopenaing upon soil and location. The gross crop never was better, and the barley and oat crops, vory superior to ordinary seasons. The potato yield will be immonso, and the tobacco crop, although later than usual, Is growing as fast and looty bettor than we ever saw it before.” Thp following are the principal wheat-growing counties in Virginia, and the number of bushels grown in eachßockingham 603,350; Loudoun 563,930; Jefferson 472,008; Augusta 419,006; Fau quier 386,324; Berkeley 856,234; Frederick 311,- 060; .Clarke 306,210; Albemarle 278,575; Louisa 199,521; Rockbridge 198,553; Shenandoah 196,338; Culpeper. -191,395; Bedford 178,990; Hampshire 177,343; Caroline 173,353; Hanover 157,388; Rap pahannock 157,699. The counties of Clarke and Jefforson may be ranked as the most productive, inasmuch as the former has only 60,274 acres of improved land, and tho latter 81,087, whilst Rockingham has 203,530 and Loudoun 203,454 acres of like character. Albemnrle is the greatest producer of corn, raising annually 798,354 bushels; Aocomao noxt, 761,636;'and Loudoun noxt, 749,428 bushels an nually,—Herald. The wheat, south of Dayton, aod nearly as high os Troy, is nearly all out, and a good deal se cured in the barn. It In, so far as wehaveobserved, pronounced the largest yield and best crop ever produced in tho Miami Valley. Harvest hands are scarce, and high prices arc obtained. Three dol lars per day has been paid, we are told, for rakers and binders. The corn orop is growing, the far mers say, at tho rate 0 from four to six Inches per day, depending upon soil and location. Tho grass crop never was better, and the barley and oats crop very superior to ordinary seasons.

'At Wallack’s Theatre, New York, aburlesquo upon “ Shylock,” written by Frank Talfourd, eon of the author of “Ion,” has been pro duced with some success. It is lively, witty, and as full of puns as a Christmas pudding is of currants. Tho Portia of tliispieco is Mrs. John Wood, (duly advertised by tho manage ment, as “the brilliant and beautiful,”) and her husband was the Shylock. Tho other leading parts wore, played by Mrs. Vernon, Mr. Walcot, and Miss Manners. Last year, during the hot months, Wallaek’s was called “The Summer Garden”—because thore was a banquet of artificial flowers stuck near each gas-light, and one geranium in a small flowc-r-pot, placed in the vestibule. — There is also another “Garden,” in New York, called Niblo’s, which is really a theatre, th® attractions at which now are the Havels and a pretty French danseuse called Teresa Rolls. Mr. Edward Eddy is the new lessee of the Bowery Theatre, and likely to make it pay— with blood-and-thundor pieces. The pretty little theatre, opposite the Me tropolitan Hotel, in Broadway, built by the Buckleys, for Negro Minstrelsy, is now occu pied by Mr. ChanlYau, with n pretty good working company, including Mrs. C. Howard, H. Hall, T. B. Johnson, &c. The mmiiiml proprietor Is Mr. Thaddeus W. Meighan, a well-known newspaper paragrapliist, whoso Folonius, in tho amateur performance of “ Hamlet,” at the Academy of Music, last year, was the finest piece of burlesque ever represented on any stage. Mr. ChanfVau’s Theatre is “ The New Olympic,” and a lively piece de drcomtance, called “ Olympeana,” by Mr. Charles Gayler, has been very attractive. A new scene, with Meighan in his original comic character of IJolonius, would certainly draw a large audience at any time. Laura Keene’s Theatre will be opened on Monday,with those clever juvenile performers, the Marsh children. An attempt, at Burton’s Theatre, to have Promenade Concerts, has been a failure. The principal attraction, a fountain of actual water over a glacier ol real ice, amounted to no more than the trickle of a thin thread of Cro ton over a lump of ice (value three shillings) about as large as a piece of chalk. Miss Maggie Mitchell commences an engagement at 1 Burton’s on Monday. There is a report that Signora Vestvali and an operatic company will speedily appear at this theatre. Mr. Stuart, lessee of Will lack’s Theatre, had announced a series of Promenade Concerts, under his own. management and that of Mr. Bourclcault, to be given in the Academy of Music. ■-'The failure of a similar speculation at Burton’s Theatre was reported to have frightened both of these gentlemen into an abandonment of the speculation; but it appears that .they commence on Thursday evening. It jappears uncertain when the Broadway Theatre will re-open. Rumor says that more than one, agent is now in England selecting performers of ability. Little Qgrdelia Howard, having returned from England, is now playing at Purdy’s Na tional Theatre, with her usual success. Mr. Oilman, who has a winter-lease of the New York of Music, has engaged ViouxtempSj’the violinist, to make a musical tour through tpo United States. He has also announced Madame Frczzolini, tho vocalist. Unfortunatoly, When Madame La Grange was brought over to New York, the samo Mr. Ullman, to exalt her, advertised Frczzolini as having a worn-out’and faded voice! Just now his game is to exalt her, and describe her as “the of Song.” Ac cordingly, nearly a tolumn of the New York Herald of last Monday contains a biography of her, which is a charming romance. It says:—“Her fticc is onq of study—classically beautiful, and chiselled With a skill that shames tho sculptor’s art; her hair juxuriant, and of the darkest hue, and a form grand and com manding.” It docinres that tho- Archduke Charles was struck “in a heap” by hor be wildering beauty at Vienna, and offeftd to marry her right away. It rolatcs how a mys terious Count R bought her from her father—how he married her—how sho gave him tho cold-shoulder at the close of the cere mony, and bolted from tho church—how she bought him off with tho promise of a per centage on her earnings—and other wonderful circumstances. Her imaginative biographer odds, by way ot finale:— “Her duties called her forth to fresh exertions, and once more she sought the mimic stago to become again the queen of the hour and the idol of multi tudes. Frezzolini, tho virgin widow of a living husband, pure as tho chaste Diana, again sways the hearts of thousands by tho force of her brillinnt genius and tho powor of her beauty; but her heart owns no emotion save an absorbing devotion to the art of which sho •is the brightest and purest ornament.” Very good, this—at twenty-five cents por lino. Miss Kate Reignolds has been performing Lady Macbeth, at Montreal, to Mr. Elmoro’s Macbeth. Mr. John Brougham is not going to Europe, as was reported, but will probably visit various theatres, as a “ star,” during tho autumn and winter. Lola Montes, (whose real name is Mrs. James,) has announced two lectures at Buf falo-one on .“Beautiful Women,” and the other on “ The Democracies of Europe.” It is reported that the Rev. O. C. Burr is her agent now. Mr. W.M. Floming, a careful and reliable rather than a brilliant actor, is about visiting England and France. He has not made any engagements in advance, but will be open to them. Mr, Buckstone’s recent benefit at the Hay market Theatre, (London,) took place on the eleven hundred and twenty-fourth night of his continuous season. He has got a new five years* lease of the theatre, with power to re duce tho price of admission. A new farce, by Mr. Robert Bell, called “First and Second Floor,” has beon success ful at the Haymarket. It is in « Box and Cox” line. Barney Williams and his wife are again at the Adelphi, making great way with a new farce written expressly for them bv Sterling Coyne. Rachel has definitively retired from tho French stage. Alfred Wigan Ims also been compelled, by ill-health, to abandon the pro fession. Tho celebrated composer of the “ Yampyr” and “ Templar,” Dr. Marchner, from Hanover, lias arrived in London. Verdi, the composer, has received an order fVom the Imperial Theatre of St. Petersburg, for an opera, which is to be ready in 1869. The terms offered and accepted are £3,200. Madame Ristori has played, at tho Royal Italian Opera, (London,) in Italian versions of “Fazio” and “Macbeth.” In the first she did not fail: in the second, she greatly succeeded. Mine. Gazzaniga has engaged rooms at Cape May for the summer. Thalborg and Mme. D’An gri were at tho same place a few days since, giving popular entertainments. They will visit tho water ing places in torn. J. Alfred Novello, tho well-known music pub lisher of London, is nowon his first visit to America. He visits us, says the Musical Review, with pur poses of recreation and to oxamino our institutions with his own eyes. Ho is the son of tho distin guished composer Vincent Novello, and brother of Ulnra Novello, tho singer. Miss Kimberly is giving readings of “ Noth ing to Wear,” in New Haven. Mffx Maretzck has engaged a complete corps de ballet , consisting of twenty-two young and beau tiful Judies from the Conservatoire of Turin, under the direction of Signor Rouzani, the celebrated com poser and maitre de ballet. Fanny Kemble is staying at Nahant, where she has a cottage. Sho was at Niagara, whonco sho went in a buff. There will probably be a cheap Italian opera tic entertainmont at Drury-lane Theatre, in OotoJ befnoxt. It is probable that neither the Lyceum nor Drury-lano Theatres will open before Boxing Night. M. Jullien’s concert will bo hold at Drury-luno, while Mr. Anderson, the conjuror, will return to tho Lyceum.

LOLA MONTEZ ON THE PLATFORM The Hamilton Spectator, (Canada West) gives a synopsis of a lecture by Lola Montez, a Beautiful Woman. It says:— The Hamilton Mechanics’ Hall was crowded to its utmost capacity, by a very promiscuous assem bly the gentlemen greatly outnumbering the ladies present. Considerable impatience was caused by the delay in commencing the lecture, but when Lola appeared, all noise was hushed in an instant; every one criti cally soatmiug the lineaments of this celebrated beauty. The silence was but for a moment, a burst of applause was tho public tribute to her charms, and was gracefully acknowledged. Lola is a living leoture on beauty. She is an ex ample of a beautiful woman. Her face is char mante, especially the forehead, eyes, and nose. Her movements are graceful in the extreme, and tho way she handled & fan was a lesson to tne Canadian fair. Her history is evidence of tho power of boauty, os also, perhaps, of its (roily. Her leoturo on Beautiful Women is open to criti cism. It is hardly one to please a general au dience, for its allusions cannot bo understood and admired without a more intimate acquaintance with the literature of ancient and modorn Europo than is possessed by tho great majority of our popu lation. Lola introduces most appropriately an ole gant old story. When Nature haa given valor to man, swiftness to tho hare, hi «s to cattle, appor tioning to the various orcaturcs various qualities, sho was unmindful of woman, until her supply wns well-nigh exhausted. Then, suddonly reflecting, sho atoned for her neglect by tho gift of beauty, which indeed rendered woman superior to all the othors. Lola attributes this story to Ariosto. Ari oato’merely translated for Anacreon. A fastidious critic would find fault with a double entendre, where Lola speaks of tho constancy of husbands to wives as nocosaary to ensuto that of wiveß to hus bands. Wo hardly think that in tho anecdote about tho Parisian ladies bathing in milk, so minute an ac count should have been glvon. With these excep tions, there was nothing In the lecture to offend tho most fastidious, while tncie was something to amuse and a great deal to instruct. One fine passage Ac quired additional force from tho experience of tho speaker. She was asking wherein beauty lay. “ Whoro,” she said, “ shall we look for this sourco of power ? Often perhaps in n more dimple, some timus in tho soft shadow of a drooping eyelid, or again, beneath tho tresses of a littlo fantastic eurl. Alas !” and she spoke it most impressively, •• Alus, I am ashamed to think what small things will often movo tho strongest and tho bravest of mon! Many times in my lifo, in tho company o kings and nobles, have I been fottcdwitb sadness to reflect on tho words of tho sublime Milton, in which ho speaks of woman as: Fair, no doubt, and worthy w ell Thy cherishing, thy honor and thy love, Not thy subjection. Lola oonaidorod tho English, Irish and Scotch women to bo tho handsomest. Speaking of beau ties, she gave the pulm to tho well-known Duohoss of Sutherland, who moved a natural queen r.nd was the paragon among the beautiful aristocraoy of England, Lady Blessington was a marvellous beauty; Kings and noblos wore at her feot. In Italy they called hor La Diva—thegoddess. Sho was volup tuous, with a neck that sat on hor shouldors like the most oharming Greek models. She had a won derfully beautiful hand, and an oye that when it smiled captivated all hourts. She was a far more intellectual stylo of boauty than even tho Duchoss of Sutherland. The present Duchess of Wellington (when Lola saw hor, Marchioness of Douro,) was an admirably beautiful woman, with littleintelleot or animation. She was a fine piece of sculpture, and as cold as u piece of sculpture. Tho most famously bouutiful family in England whs tho groat Sheridan family. There wero two sons, bo‘h, said Lolu, known to horsolf, who woro considered tho handsomest men of their day. Thoro wero throe daughters—the Hon. Mrs. Nor ton, wcil-hnown on this aide of tho Atlantic, through her poetry and her mlsfortnncs; Lady Blackwood and Lady Seymour, the latter of whom was tho of Beauty at tho famous Eglinton tournumo it. Those three woro oalled the three Graces of England. Speaking of Fronoh beauties, Lola first praised tho Marqui.lo de la Grange, and afterwards tho Emptcft* Eugenie. When Lola last saw Eugenie, she (Eugenie) was certainly one of tho most vivacious, witty and sprightly w omen in Paris. All tho portraits in this country greatly oxaggeratod her site, for Eugonie was really r. small woman. Before her marringo with tho Emperor, and when she was tho belle of Madrid, she evinced a high admiration for Louis Gottsohalk, tho pianist, who, by tho way, had car ried off, unwittingly, half a million hearts from the United States. Eugenio caused him to bo re ceived into tho most aristooratiofuimlicßof Madrid. Lola then passod on to sketch the various charac teristics of tho beauties of various countries, and took occasion to bit Lord Brougham (although we fancy we have heard the conceit before. The Con stantinopolitan Indies, with whom corpulency whs beauty, would, sho said, have elioited from that polished gallant theoxclamation, “whatquantity." Lola decried ail cosmotics. Sho recommended threw things—temper&nco, exercise, and cleanliness as preservatives of beauty. The bath, she said' which was universal everywhere but in Britain and America, was tho best “ wash that could be desired, although indeed it wns mentioned that tincture of benzomo, precipitated by water, was used by the beauties of Charles 11. ’a reign, and really brought blood to the surface. Bran might bo advantage ously used in connection with the bath. A well cultivated mind was that which gavo not only eloouenco to the tongue, but lustre to tho oye, ver milion to the ,cheek, and lighted up the whole person os though tho very body thought. Lola moralised muoh and well, and when in this vein drew forth tbo heartiest applause. Perhaps wo may bo thought byporcritieal, if we say her utterance is too uniformly slow. Her voico is sweet, yet without sufficient strength, and her delivery would be charming if, there were a little t variety In the rate of speaking. The lively passages should bo spoken more “ tripping on the tongfao,” ifladjinerji onb 3ron Richard norris & son, locomo tive STEAM ENGINE BUILDERS, SEVENTEENTH STREET, HAMILTON, FAIRYIEW AND SPRING GARDEN STREETS, PHILADELPHIA.

The undersigned, members of the committoe, do re spectfully report, tliat we saw the two Safes originally agreed upon by Parrels A Herring and Ev.\ns A Watson, placed side by aide in a furnace, vlt: the Safe in use by the Paymaster of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail road Company, in his office at Reading, manufactured by Parrels A Herring, and the Safe in use byU.A. Lantz, in his store, manufactured by Evans A Watson, axd put in books and papers precisely alike. The lire was started at 8& o’clock, A. 31., and kept up until four cords of green hickory wood, two cords of dry oak and half chestnut-top wood were entirely con sumed. the whole under the superintendence of the subscribers, members of the committee. The Safes wero then cooled off with water, after which they were opened, and the books and papers taken out by the committee and sent to H. A. Lantz’s store, for public examination, after they were first examined and marked by the committee. The books and papers taken from the Safe manufactured by Evans A Watson were bat slightly affected by the inteuse heat, while those taken from the Safe manufactured by Farrels A Herring were, in our judgment, damaged fully fifteen per cent, more than those taken from Evans A Watson’s Safe. We bellevo the above to have been a fair and impar tial trial of the respective qualities of both Safes. JACOB H. DYSIIER, DANIEL S. HUNTER. Having been absent during the burning, we fully coincide with the abo>e statement of the condition of the papers and books taken out of the respective Safes. G. A. NICOLLS, U. H.
