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

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

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.

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

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

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,

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

Boston, July 20. The schooner L. McKenzic,
from the Bay of St. Lawrence the first of the

Her Captain reports that the fish are not plen

An officer from one of the Colonial vessels

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

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,
