COMMUNICATED. Mr. Editor: Mr. Richardson in yesterday’s Star has replied to my inquiry of afew days previous, in relation to stopping 7 tens of mailable matter at a velocity of 700 feet per second. I am ob! to Mr R for his reply ; at the same time | must say that it is alto gether unsatisfactory, and sc much at variance with all laws of science, that, with your per- mission, I will show you and yourone hun- dred thousand readers, that the — i Telegraph, as exhibited in Mr. R.’s book, and endot by the Senate Committee, is not by any means adapted for practical purposes on the scale that he pro " * Mr. R says that the mile of contained air in the tube next to Washington will be em- ployed as anelastic buffer, to resist and over- come the momentum of the load, (he does not — this mile of air is known to be there,) whether more or less, and that this compressed air will b- allowed poops through the safe- ty valve at @ pressure of 40 lbs. to the square inch, which amount of resistance will near! overcome the momentum of the 7 tons, and after it has passed the valve it will be an- nounced by the ringing of the bell. Now, tir, 7 tons, at a velocity of 700 feet per second, wttains a momentum of nearly eleven millions of pounds; in other words, his mail bag of 7 tons moving from Baltimore to Washington at the rate of 700 feet in a second, will require eleven millions of pounds to arrest tt at Wash- ington. in his book, he nor his Senate com- mittee do not say anything about sopping it; and, in reply to my first question, he offers only 18.000 Ibs. to stop it. You will readily perceive that his 40 lbs tothe inch of pressure will not answer at all. Hence the necessity of some other reply to satisfy “Iago” and the public. There will, I opine, be something more than the ringing of the bell to announce the arrival of the mail bags of 7 tons weight at Washington, and I would say to the post- master ‘‘ stand from under’ at its arrival!

A fire ocourred at about nino o’clock last night, in a frame stable, situated on Mont- gomery street, opposite the public school tfully, 20.

At the time the fire occurred there dark would stand a good chance of being were several fine horses algo in the stable, one maimed for life. Ma. Deurstszx —The concert of this popu- lar artist, it will be perceived, has been post- poned until to-morrow evening, on acount o the terrible weather with which our city was afficted on Tuesday evening last. As a bal- lad singer he is at the head of his profession in this country, and richly deserves the plau- dits of the large and discriminating audiences who always atiend his entertainments.

Mr. Editor: I wish to inquire when that e would come, on the establishment of a “ Board of Health,’’ &c., and “for the abate- ment and removal of nuisances’’’ The past Winter has afforded a fine opportunity to house- keepers to throw their coal ashes, dirty water, and offal of all sorts, into the gutters and time is coming’’ that we were led to | town College, Rev. of which was burned to death.

Some suppose the fire was the work of an incendiary, while the gen- eral impression ig that it was caused by some ¢ | one of @ number of boys, who are employed about the stable, going among the hay with a lighted candle or while =. a cigar. This building waa situated in the midst of athickly settled square; and but for the fact that the surrounding buildings were all very damp and adead calm was prevailing at the time the fire occurred, much destructien of valuable property would have resulted. This is a warning to our Corporation to enaet at once a law to prevent stables, in the future, from being built alongside of dwelling houses. The Vigilant Fire pase and several from your city were promptly on the spot with their apparatus, rendering good service. Trinity (Catholic) church, last night, was literally crowded to overflowing to hear the discourse of the eloquent president of George- A. Maguire.
