MONDAY EVENING, JULY 25, ONE WEEK ONLY, SYNOPSIS OF OPINIONS OF THE NEW YORK PRESS. | From the New York Times, May 4.] Tuer ine Kimc.— A few invited guests were treated to a novel spectacle yesterday afternoon at Joues’s Wood. Signor Cristoforo Buono Oore was kind enough to roast himself for their private gratification. A neat little bower was constructed of chip and brushwood, and a gentleman, probably a young salamander, and still in the blue ssate, set firetoit. The wind was high. and there was soon a good blaze, hot enough to force the curious back from their positions, and to cause the young gala- mander to look red in the face, The ‘old salaman- der began to make himself at home. He stepped into the roaring mass, walked leisurely among the flames, made his appearance at the four entrances of the structure, and remained fizzing and cooking until the light material was sll consumed. Wher- ever the flames were fiercest he pirced himself, and altbough bis helmet cracked and hugh blisters of a saline character bulged out on it, he himself was safe and sound; neither spent in wind nor flushed in face. Such a contrivance certainly merits at- tention in a humanitarian point of view. The fire department, im particular, should look into the matter. THE ITALIAN SALAMANDER, [From the New York Waily News, May 2. The most remarkable exhibition which we have had the good fortune to witness for along time, took place at Jones’s Wood on Wednesday after? noon. Cristoforo Buono Gore, who has created great excitement not only among the musses of the peop e of London. but also upon its savants, ap- peared at Jones's Wood at the time named to wive an exhibition toa select pumber of gentlemen of the wonderful merits of adress which he has in- vented, and which, he claims, isnot only imper- vions to fire. but, when worn, will preserve the body from injury, though the dress be in actual contact with tame. This he putson, of course, before going into the fire, whieh is prepared aq follows, Two iron cages are formed to intersect each other, about fifteen feet long by seven fect high, but only three feet wide, with four openings ordoorways. These he completely surrounds aad covers with light brusbwood, which is fired, and when the whole becomes, as it were, one body of tiame, he enters, traverses the several narrow burning avenues, passing in and out at each opening with apparent ease and perfectly un- harmed. Soon after the wood had been fired the heat was so great that the spectator could not stand nearer to it than eight or ten yards, and at that distance only with great discomfort,’ All who saw the ex periment were perfectly satisfied that he could do all he promised. In fact, he appeared to be the only dissatisfied person on the ground, for the rea- sumtbat the fire was not hotenough for him. The exhibition will be repeated on Wednesday next, and the proptictor of the grounds has made liberal preparations for the enjoyment of visitors, A FIRE KING. {From the New York 8un, May 19.] Yesterday a number of newspaper reporters and other persons visited Jones’s Wood to see an Ital- ian, Signor Buono Core, walk unscathed through ahotfire. About 40’clock the gentleman made dis appearance clothed in a suit of canvas, painted red, Around an iron arbor. with four entrances lay a large pile of light brushwood. This was ig- nited. The Italian then unconcernedly walked through the burnipg mass, remaining amid the flames until the wood had been consumet. The exhibition completely demonstrated the practica- bility of persons walking through fire unharmed, when clothed in fire-proof garments, On uncoy ering, Signor Core was discovered ina state of profuse perspiration and in no wise injured by the experiment. E -KING—REMARKABLE EX Ss THE FIRE The EXHIBI {From the Brooklyn Union, May 19.] A private exhibition of a very novel character was given yesterday in*Jones’s Wood by an Ital- jan gentleman who styled himself Christoforo Bu- ono Core, or the Fire King, who stood in the midst of fierce fire for nearly half an hour, thoroughly establishing his claim to the title he has aseumed. The entertainment was quite curieus, but the Sig- nor bas higher claims for his invention than'a mere show. It was accorded by all present yester- day that the Signor made good his claims, and his invention merits the attention of those interest- ed—and who is not ’—in the saving of human life, A SALAMANDER. From the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, May 19.| There are a great many wonderful things being done in and around New York juat now by the spirits and magicians, but these manifestations are of no practical utility, except to the exhibit- ors, who are reaping a rich harvest from the cred- ulous, Something that is at once curious and usefal has, however, been brought to public no- tice. A Signor Buono Core has invented a fire- roof suit,in which he can walk into a burnia building with flames playing around him and fee no inconvenience. This discovery may be of great service. Itis not expected that every one will at once order a salamander outfit, and keep it in the house in case of fire, but it will bea good thing foreach fire company to be provided with a suit, which will cnable the wearer to enter burning Buildings, save property, and assist materially in extinguishing fires. [From the Evening Express, May 20.] Have we asalamander among us? If by asala- mander is meant a living being which can walk unharmed, like the three young men in the Serip- ture story, through a fiery furnace, and come out unscathed, we think Signor Buono Core is tairly entitled to the appellation, albeit the common no- tion that the little reptile from which he de- rivesit ean do the like with impunity, isa fabu- lous idea. A few daysago the Bignor invited a party to go upto Jones’s Wood and witness a de- monstration of his right to be considered a mad- ern Abednego. He entered aniron cage around, over, and pen which an intensely hot fire was burning all the while, and made himself gaite at home therein, for some space. Nor did he seem to care more for the exposure than if he were walking like Adam in Eden, in a iipphs in the cool of the evening. He will give his first public exhibition at Jones’s Wood next Wednesday af- ternoon, It certainly isa very curious feat. (From the Saturday Courier. May 21.} Signor Buono Core on Wednesday last gave a rivate exhibition to the members of the press at ones’s Wood. His arrangement consists of a light iren frame work, standing about ten feet high, with exits and entrances at each end and sive, which is plentifully covered with brushwood, asplings and shavings. and adress somewhat re- sembling that of the submarine diver. ‘A young gentleman. Sgidently: disposed to make Night of the efair, distributed lucifer: martes among thore present, with a request to assist in firing the pile, which was speedily accomplished, and as the drove the crowd backward, Buono Core, accoutered in his novel dress, with a tial stalk,” entered the flames, which, judging by aremark he made as he did so, were searcely in- tense enough to satisfy his inordinate desire to be comfortably warm ! it ample arrangements have b feated Yo have the feat performed in the arent a MOST SATISFACTORY MANNER UPON THE STAGE OF THE CANTERBURY The curious will not fail to see this MARVEL OF THE AGE.

ARMY OF POTOMAC. The Siege Petersburg—Condition of Affairs at the Front. Information has been received from the headquarters of the Army of the Potomac, dated July 25, which says that the shelling and picket firing between the 9th corps and the enemy was yesterday more brisk than usual, and was kept up ali day. During the afternoon of Saturday a shell from one of our guns struck a cxisson of the enemy’s, which exploded with a loud noise. Very few casualties occur considering the large quantity of powder spent by both par- ties. No exchange of papers has been made between the pickets for some days past, the rebel commanders having strictly prohibited it. A Richmond paper of the 22d claims a de- cided victory at Atlanta, driving our forces back with tremendous logs. {We know by official dispatches that the bat- tle of the 22d (Friday last) was decidedly favorable to us.—ED.} It also says that our forces were defeated at Snicker’s Gap by.General Early, where they took a number of prisoners. Deserters are not so numerous as they were @ week ago, the enemy seeming to keep a strict watch for them along the lines. FROM TEXAS AND LOUISIANA. Cartro, July 26.—A private letter trom a well known gentleman of New Orleans to the True Delta, dated Villa Contenta, Mexico, June 26, states that intelligence had just been received trom the country above Matamoras, that Gen. Ford, commanding the rebel forces at Eagle Pass, had demanded the surrender of Browns- ville, Texas. He was said to be an enter- prising soldier and lead good troops, all Tex- ans, except 1,000 Mexican eutiaws and ren- egades. Gen. Herron, commanding at Browns- ville, was said to be strongly entrenched, and had a force capable of taking the offensive, if necessary. Gen. Brayman had arrived at Natchez, and assumed command there, relieving Col. Far- Tar, who has been placed in charge of Fort McPherson. Gen. Young, provost marshal at Natchez, died recently at Viadola, La. Shrevesport papers report rebel soldiers de- stroying crops near Natchez. There was tair inquiry for cotton at New Orleans, but absence of news from New York caused an advance of 24a3cts., which checked speculations; i00 bales sold on private terms, Sugar—yellow clarified, 27a28 cents. Prime molasses, %) cents. Western provisions are in decided request, but operations are restricted by slight supplies and higher prices. The stock of flour is much reduced; low to good super- fine, $9.67a$10.25; choice, $10.50, but higher prices were asked at the close. SHENANDOAH VALLEY. Skirmishing between Crook and Breckin. ridge—Object of the Enemy's Demonstra.- tion—Reported Reoccupation ef Martins. burg by the Union Ferces. BALTIMORE, July 27—11.20 p. m.—Harper’s Ferry is still in our possession, and there has beer no attack upon that point as yet. The rebels are not yet believed to have entered Maryland. Ascout who left Martinsburg at seven o'clock last night, crossed at Shepherdstown and came hither this morning, reports heavy skirmishing at Martinsburg, between General Crook and the rebels under Breckinridge, on Monday, up to five o’clock. Qur forces fell back to this side of the Poto- mac, from Martinsburg to Williamsport, and the rebels evinced no disposition to cross, and refugees from Washington and other western counties were returning to their homes. It was generally supposed that the object of the rebels was to keep our forces out of the valley whilst they gathered in the harvest. Later reports say that we have re-occupied Martinsburg. ATLA Terrible Punishment of the Enemy—Gen, Hood Reported Killed—Gen. Resseau’s Great Raid. LovisvIL_g, July 27.—Information has been recetyed from an officer at the front, who says that in two battles in front of Atlanta we haye destroyed the better portion of the enemy’s two best corps. All the prisoners captured on the 26d and 23d unite in saying the rebel Gen. Hood was killed on the 22d. Maj. Gen. Rosseau and staff arrived last night from Marietta. The raid was the most successtul during the war. The total loss was five killed and thirteen wounded, captured, and paroled. T'wothousand rebels were killed and wounded, and 2) were also captured, to- gether with 800 horses and mules, and about the same number of contrabands. The expe- dition destroyed thirty-two miles of railroad, great quantities of stores, cotton, &c., and thir- teen railroad depots at various points on the Atlanta and Montgomery railroad. FROM GEN. CURTIS’ COMMAND, Destruction of Stores by the Indians—Mili- tia to Take the Field. Sr. Louis, July 27.—The Democrat's Fort Leavenworth special says the Indians have attacked our trains and destroyed a large amount Of stores on the Santa Fe road. Gen. Curtis has only a small force in that region, but is raising militia for service against the Indians, and has created the district ot Upper Kansas, including ¥orts Riley, Larned, and Lyons, and _ assigned General Blunt to the command. He leaves for the field at once. De- fensive movementsare being rapidly prepared. Organization of the Celored Militia in Baltimore. BALtimorgE, July 27, 11.30 p.m.—Gen. Wal- lace has issued orders for the immediate en- roliment of al) the able-bodied colored men in this city, directing that they be forthwith or- ganized into companies and regiments, and armed, equipped, and drilled. Officers will be appointed by the Mayor, and the force will constitute a part of thespecial military defence ot the city. The order warns disloyal masters and employers not to interfere with the execu- tion of these orders. The leagues are also actively engaged in perfecting their military organization. Assassination in Kansas, The following dispatch was received in this city last evening: “WyanpoTTe, Kansas, July 27.—samue} Hallett has just been basely assassinated in the streets otf Wyandotte.” This gentleman, it will be remembered, was engaged in the construetion of the Pacific rail- road, eastern division, in Kansas, he and his party being in controversy with Gen.

Out of about 700 men, only one vote was cast against Lincoln and Johnson, The boys immediately notified the lonely fellow that if he did not change his mind in three days he must leave the army.

High Prices of Provisions in Richmend, ‘The following extract from the repert of the rebel commissioners of appraisement, au- thorized to regulate the prices of provisions, is taken from the Richmond Sentinel of Jaly Qist: The attention of the Confederate Gowern- ment having been directed to the exorbitantly high prices of provisions, and the consequen- ces arising out of the absence of an established schedule, have authorized the appointment of commissioners of appraisement, who, hayin, consulted with the most prominent farmers an business men near Richmond, have fixed wpen the annexed tariff, and prohibited private par- ties from raising articles of consumption toex- tremely high rates. A hope is expressed that the condition of the needy and distressed will be ameliorated by it, and that the rates will be accepted as just and fair by the pradacers. The currency has greatly depreciated below the specie standard, and there ts asmall xup~ ply of grain, accompanied with a very great demand for consumption. ‘Lhe following standard is, then, the legal prices allowed by law as the maximum rate to ve paid by Government for all articles im- pressed im the usnal places of sale, and when impressed on farms or elsewhere, the same pices are to be paid: W heat, prime, white or red, per bushel of 6) Tbs.. $50; flour, good, fine, per bbl. of 196 Ibs., #1+2 flour, superfine, per bbl.of $196 lbs., B15(; flour, extra superfine, per bbl. of 196 Ibe., $159, flour, fami'y, per bbl. of 195 Tbs., $168; corn, prime, white or yellow, per bushel of 36 lbs., *4; upsheiled corn, prime, white or yellow, per bushel of 56 1bs., $23 70; corm meal, good, per bushel of 50 Ibs., $95 2(, rye, prime, per bushel of 56 Ibs., $19 2; cleaned o&'s, prime, per bushel of 32 Ibs., $15, wheat bran, good, per bushel of 17 Ibs., $8; shorts, good, per bushel of 22 Jbs., $4 20; brown stuif good, per bushel of 3s Ibs., $5 40; ship stuff good, per bushes of 57 Ibs., $8 40; bacon, good, hog round, per Ib., $5; pork, salt, good, per 1b., $864; pork, fresh, tat and good, per Ib., net weight, $8 29; lard, good, per Ib., #5; peas, good, per bushel, #50; beans, good, per bushel, $80; potatoes, good Irish, ae bushel, $10; potatoes, good sweet, per bushel, $12; onicms, good, per bushel, #50; dried peaches, good, pealed, per bushel, $12: dried peaches, good, unpealed, per bushel, $8; dried apples, good, pealed, per bushel, $s.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE, The Alleged Fight Between the Kearsarge and the Florida. The reported engagement between the United States steamer Kearsarge and the rebel cruiser Florida proves to be without foundation, at least so far as the Kearsarge is concerned, for she was off Dover at the time, and still re- mained there. The United States steamer Sac- ramento, from Cherbourg, had joined the Kear- sarge off Dover. The Southampton correspondentof the Daily News, writing on the 15th, says: “It is almost certain that no sea fight took place off Jersey on Wednesday. The news brought by the Wonder was received on board jast as she was leaving Jersey. There is a telegraphic communication between England and Jersey via France, and a mail packet arrived from Jersey arrived at Weymouth last night, and yet there is no confirmation of thenews. Itis Said that the Florida was waiting offthe Man- quils forthe Kearsarge. The captain of the Wonder saw no sign of a steamer there. The two Confederate steamers supposed to be in the channel at the present time are the Florida and Genera! Lee. The Florida is about the size ot the Alabama. The following are the armaments aud tonnage of the three Federal vessels now in the channel, viz: Kearsarge, 8 guns, 1,13! tons; Sacramento, 10 guns, 1,367 tons; Niagara, 32 guns, 4,529 tons. A letter has been received this morning from a captain in the English navy, written on the night of the 13th, at Jersey, in which letter there is no allusion to the sea fight off that island. The Paris correspondent of the Daily News, writing on the evening of the Lith, says: “The Federal corvette Sacramento steamed ont of Cherbourg harbor yesterday morning at day- break, and itis supposed that she has a ren- dezyous with the Niagara somewhere at sea. Arumor is current in Cherbourg that the Fed- eral and Confederate naval officers have agreed. to have asea fight within the next ten days, between the Sacramento and the Niagara on the one side, and the Gerera! Lee frigate anda Confederate corvette, which was laiely seea in the Straits of Gibraita, on theother. It is far- ther said to be arranged that the battle is to come off in sight of the coastof Frances, and not further than fifteen kilometres from Cher- bourg.”” The Niagara was seen cruising off Start Point, in the English channel, on the 13th of July. Proposed Mediation in America. An infiuential deputation trom the society for obtaining a cessauon of hostilities waited on Lord Palmerston on the 15th July, for the pur- pose of urging the British Government to take steps to bring about peace between the belliger- ents in America. The deputation consisted of the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Bishop of Chi- ehester, several members of Parliament, and other gentlemen, including Mr. Spence, of Liv- erpool, the pro-southern writer for the Times. It wasexplained that the deputation was devoid. of any party character, and would chiefly urge the plea of humanity. The Marquis of Clanricarde and Mr. Spence showed the necessity, if possible, of arresting the shedding of blood in America, Lord Palmerston, in reply, said the Govern- ment was lead to think, from all accounts that reached them, that this was not the moment at which any mediatory proposals could be use- fully made. Each party was equally confident in the ultimate success of their cause, and the North was especially jealous of interference. If the opportunity for mediation presented itself, the Government would gladly avail themselves of it. Mason's Interview with Palmerston. The Morning Herald of he {6th contains the following paragraph: «« We understand that the Hon. J. Mason had an unofficial interview with Lord Palmerston at Cambridge House, on the introduction of Mr. Lindsay, and that the meeting was satis- factory to all parties. The withdrawal of Mr. Lindsay’s motion (that for the recognition of the South) was, it is said, the result of the in- terview—the Premier hayimg gtven @ sort of implied promise to support it at amore oppor- tune moment—that is to say, when Grant and Sherman has been defeated, and the Uonfed- eracy stands in no aid of recognition.” Demand for American Stocks. The Times in its city article says: “The ad- vices from Frankfort mention that the great Tise im exchanges at New York had been met by & corresponding fall in the prices of Federal stocks, but at the reduced quotations, buyers came forward in such numbers that mot only large sums brought from New York, bat even various parcels sold out by bankers for small speculators, could still be disposed of at an advance of four per cent. on New York prices. As soon as these sales were over, quotations recovered between oue and two per cent. The eagerness of our beter) it is observed, to in- vest in American funds, after so many disap- pointments, is wonderful. In spite of the bad political and yet worse financial reports, every reduction in the price brings forward new pur- chasers, mostly small capitalists.” us The Pittsburg (Pa.)
