All the sunruwder now being manufactured in the United States is a triplicate compound, composed of in gredients in the following Dronditious: charcoal 115 parts; saltpetre 75 parte ; sulphur 12.5 parts. For the beet powder the charcoal is obtained from willow-wood, which is placed in au iron retort, heated to redness. The charring of the wood too mach must he occur tingly oeoided, sod the temperature of the r.-tort is not allowed to exceed 500 degrees.

The crystals are rrinowsi, and, after being tedisadved in water, are ready for use. The sulphur is airo required to be freefrom impurities. The rolls are coeseuuentl) twill, whin the impurities floating lirinn the surface are skimmed off. After be coming fetid, the sulphur is next reduced to a pulvere meat state and bolted—the saltpetre and charcoal separately sharing a similar destiny. The ingredients ere next weighed, and sifted into a trough filled with relmiring tam when they are well mixed. Their thorough incorporation is not unattended with dan g er, and the operation is therefore carried on in en isolated bunting . . Two Le wry cast-iron rollers, each I weight, revolve upon the exterior of its upright shaft resting upon a cast-iron bed.

Aware that this unfortunate disaster has createl marked public sensation, and knowing that everything in relation to it is of the deepest interest to the parish ioners of the church, as the officer selectee by the Mayor to make prompt and diligent inquiries into all the facts' and circumstances attending the occtirrencii of every fire in the city of Philadelphia, I have deemed it to be my duty to communicate to you the result of my examination into the cause of this conflagration. Iu my endeavors in listertnin the erioin of the fire.l have proceeded calmly and caritimis,y, but actively and perseveringly, and, if I know my own heart, I have been fair and impartial. While unduly swayed by none of the rumors and clamors of the hour, I have nevertheless listened attentively and patiently to every report and whisper that was calculated, even in the slightest degree, to shed any ray f light upon the Case. In relation to the fire, which is the subject of this coin munication,_ after a thorough and patient investigation, I have arrived at the following COTlCladiallti; First. The lire was not the wont of an incendiary. Second. The conflagration was accidental. Third. The disaster was the result of a defect in the flue of the main heater. The testimony entirely disproves the current reports that the lire began in the bell-tower, and owed its origin either to malevolence or carelessness. Smoke was seen issuing from the building for fully half an hour before the flames reached the belfry. When first observed by persona in the adjacent houses, and by mople passing in the streets, It was supposed to proceed from a foul chim ney, and excited no apprehension for some time. The fire originated in the northwestern corner of the edifice, between the ceiling and the roof, and near the flue CiSht.mtitsiz with the Inducted furules. The nexteu and two boys were engaged in sweeping the church at the time, and although the fire was slow.y raging in the cockloft directly over their heads, they were utterly un conscious of its existence, until a citizen came into the Lending freni the street, and informed thaw of the den_ stet.. At that moment, and for several minutes after wards, no fire was visible anywhere, but the smoke could be distinctly observed, and the roaring and crackling of the flames were plainly perceptible to the ear. El a oat 11 heesll • ha ' aL,4 the ualast gancy Vo , (NOM _ fire, either wilfully or recklessly, in the locality where it commenced. This place was a dark and almost hermeti cally sealed cavern between the regular or outside roof and the false e r inside roof. The Are was, In my opinion, evidently caused by a defect in the furnace flue which was surrounded by wood work. The objection to this theory is, that the confla gration happened on Tuesday, and there had been no fire in the building, according to the statement of the sexton, sinoe the kiweedli,ii Rid , ,lay.. T 1 a gat/4'41 LiAtilltA that he kindled fire in the main furnace, for' the first time this season, on Saturday evening, and kept it going all Satur day night, Sunday, and Sunday evening—allowing it to die out by Monday morning I bee. be doubt that while the fitimene fire was in full Oast, a Fortner, of the woodwork in close proximity to the flue, ignited, and the fire, from its confined situation and the leek or draught, smouldered until Tuesday, when a strong wind front the northwest, which prevailed that day, mnetratine the erevicea of the building, accelerated Its slow progress and suddenly fanned it into flame. The hot-air furnace is aeloora altogether safe, even when the utmost scientific care and greatest mechanical skill are beetowed upon its construction, and its intro dveileie into any building is alwAyi. tendiglit with asses or lees danger. If the furnace itself is secure, and the flues are built of sufficient capacity for carrying off the smoke and heat, the latter are continually liable to be come defective from the action of coal gases on the cement of their masonry. flow weed is affected by am commit operation of caloric is now well known. The process of dcsiecatien will go on for hours, days, weeks, mot the, and even years, and finally end in spontaneous combustion. It has been clearly established that, by lobk sepesara la heat, timber is lotineht to such a eon'. &firm that it will take fire without the application of a light or epark. Allow LE., in conclusion, to express the hope that the church of St Paul may soon rise, Phoenix-like, from its i isbes,' all eke belyyhtat and purer from the fiery ordeal through which it has passed. 'Very respectfully, your obedient servant, ALEXANDER W. llt.s.citacair, Fire Marshal.
