The Steam Fire Engine. communication from the builder of the Cin atiati steam fire engine, appears in the Journal tl;e Franklin Institute fvr this month. From 3 account, we learn that the boiler of the en- je is .continuous con 01 iron pipe. which is iis receiver is almost itsmeliately converted -to steam, and fire minutei only ia required to ittte machine in operiuoa. t uur men nnJ ;ur horses is all tLe force required. A3 regnrJs the pumping power of the ens-me, ii said it can throw cither one or six streams, :d will discharge about two thousand barrels water per hour. It has two suctions, six and half inches in diameter, and twenty-four feet e sn.li Luusuuug vi vue view. iucv are 3 front, ana lay back on either side. Thegreat- st throw of water yet made is stated to be two i i a . c ii i . iat one Inch and three-quarters, to where the olid body cf the stream fell, and two hundred iad ninety-one feet to the point reached by the ipray. ' By way of illustration, we may notice its per formance at one fire, to show the effect produced by this machine, compared with that by the May, 1853, on Twelfth and Main streets, at 3 o'clock P. m. ; the alarm was given, the steam engine ran 8 squares, laid her hose, which was .ne square from the fire, and put the first water n the fire, which was done in about five min utes ; the Land apparatus, notwithstanding there were some of them stationed only two squares from the fire, were not at work until the steam engine was under way. In eight and a half tours' work, (making due allowance for loss of iter,) she poured iuto the fire about 15,000 barrels of water; it was a large brewery, with ale cellar; the wind was high, and nothing but a cataract of water could have saved the entire square from destruction. This will show what can be done with steam in putting out fires. Arracgemexits are now making for four more of thesemachines by the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department. This will give the fire department cf Cincinnati the greatest strength of any in the Union. fla Ff-'gLtfal Occurrence at Niagara Further Particulars. NiaiIaHa Fxtts, July 19, P. M. Three men, belonging to a scow, which came from the river, last night'got into a skiff alongside the scow, aai it is supposed fell asleep, when the boat got separated from the scow, and was hurried on by the current with fearful rapidity towards the Falls. This happened about oclock, last eve ning. Two of the men, one named Andrew Hanna man, the other a stranger, were hurled at once ovefthe foaming sheet. The third, Joseph Able, caught bold of a stump in his fearful passage, and Jim clung to it ever since. The excitement here was intense." We have no life-boats, and the common boats are swamp ed a soon as they touch the rapids. A life-boat h9-beea sent for from Buffalo. Parties on the shore have succeeded in floating a box of re- Jresnmcuts to the poor fellow, who could be plainly seen from the shore. Citiaens and visit era thronged the banks of the river to witness the efforts making for the rescue. The lii-boat was sent on from Buffalo, but, (id to say, proved too light, swamped immedi- .i - r . i i , . hictv :nitfr ii was launciieu, nua was lost over iuc . niormnuieiy. dui one ooat was!

The Arctic arrived here this evening, bringing Liverpool dates to the 13th inst. The News is full of interest. .Count Nesselrode issued a new circular more impudent thn the last, claiming that Russia oc cupies the principalities, because the French an I English flc-eis occupy the Turkish waters, and hints clearly that the Prussians will refuse all conciliations until the fleets are withdrawn ; yet nevertheless expressing no willingness on the part of Russia to evacuate the principalities, when her demands are fully granted. This note has partially opened the eyes of the European public, who see the necessity of bringing matters to a settlement, the object of Russia beinsr mere ly to gain time, and render her position impreg nable ; though scarcely admitting the possibility of a war, public opinion begins to press for some thing decisive. The public are continually aroused by dis patches of a pacific tendency, the latest imply ing that France and England had last week for warded to St. Petersburg a moderate note of con cessions on both sides to end the matter. An answer was expected in about a week from the 11th of July, and till this shall be received, all is mere guessing. France. The plot against taking Napoleon's me, at tne upera, is more serious than had at first been supposed. The conspiracy has been unravelled and some prisoners are on trial.

From the London Times of the 13th instant : The French Minister of War is assert ed to have addressed the President of the Cham ber of Commerce at Nantz, in the following strain: "Ve are not bent on makine war. but if the Emperor, to whom the honor of his Government is dearer than all, should think that the Nation al honor exacts it, he will certainly not recoil from the necessity."

Interesting from the Fishing Grounds. Boston, July 20. The schooner L. McKenzic, from the Bay of St. Lawrence the first of the mackerel fleet, has arrived at Gloucester. Her Captain reports that the fish are not plen tiful, and the vessels not doing much. He also reports seeing quite a large number of armed vessels of the British Government fleet. An officer from one of the Colonial vessels boarded the L. McKenzie, and was very gentle manly in bis behaviour. He stated that vessels Jiaving more than two guns or muskets on board were likely to be seized. He understood that American fishing vessels were not allowed to go into tne Day oi onaieur. uun Darques were stationed along most of the principal shores, and a general espionage established. He also .stated that when a vessel is seized for fishinr -within the limits, if the crew dispute the distance It is to be measured. Cap. McK. 6tates that most if not all the peo ple at St. John's Island, Cape Brenton, and the Jut of Canso, who formerly petitioned for official vessels to drive of the Americans, ar? now sign ang petitions to have the restrictions removed, as formerly the American fishing "vessels were the means of affording them considerable busi ness, while now their own fisheries are destroy ed and they will soon be in a starving coudition, ana obliged to call upon the Government for pe cunifiry aid.
