Everybody knows what o great improvement upon the old fire engine | it 13, But the new invention, by which car- bonic acid gas 18 ejected into a burning building, immediately extinguishing the fire, proinises to sur- pass, if its ardent supporters are to be believed, all | the attempts which have hitherto been mace in that direction, Notwithstanding the successful exhibl- tions in October, 1869, at ihe Battery, accounts of which were published in gjl the papers, the efforts ss organising a company in Uiis city have becn ua- C4 ul Al that ume when the subject was proposed to the city authorities of New York, $100,000 and one- enth of the stock of the company was dcmandca + them. ‘The enterprise then {cll through for want of the requleli amonnt Of capital. But in the cily of Brooklyn there has been a com- ar organized who have obtained from the city au- horities the right to lay thelr pipes in the wards fronting the river, from Gowanus creek to the Navy Yard. ‘The company propose to build a reservoir of suflicient capacity for all emergencies and put down four inch pipes, running in every direction through the stveets and having iu front of every door a valve, to which @ sma rubber hose can be easily attached, by which the stream of gas can be divected to any room on five. To make such @ reservoir, with its necessary re- torts for making gas and laying 200 miles of Lge Bote the city, Will not cost more, it 1s said, than ‘There can be no doubt that the damages by fire in the United States are at least $50,000,000 yearly, OF this loss @ large portion is due to the water which is flooded in aad upon the burning property. Goods which have escaped the destructive effects of tire are ruined by water, one element proving almost as injurious as the other. t is indeed yery strange: that carbonic acid gas, which was discovered by Dr. Joseph Black, a chem- ist of Edinburg, composed as it is of two parts of- oxygen and one part of carbon should extinguish fire, when oxygen is necessary to produce combus- ton. Repeated experiments have shown that fire cannot burn in an atmosphere containing one-fitth part of its volume of this gas. In a common temper- ature It ig ouc-haif heavier than the alr, but when heated it expands and becomes much liguter. In 1851, & coal mine im England, that had been on fire for ihirty years, and had extended over twenty-six acres, Was completely extinguished by ejecting only eight miliions of cubic fect of carbonic acid gas. It ig reported that in this city a company is betu formed composed of some of our most wealtpy and | infiuential citizens, who will endeavor to get a char- | ter froia the Legislature this winter, aid judging | from the names of those interested In the enterprise there will ve no diMculty in obtaining it. They will then at once proceed with the laying down of the pipes, bulaiug a reservolr in some central location; aud it is confidently anticipated that in one year the whole thing will have been completed and be ready for operation, If it shall prove successful it will indeed be a won- derfl revoiution im the presept system of extip- guiehing Gres. And there does not appear tobe any reason why it should not be successful, for the porta- bie machine {3 now ready for uae on every foor in the most of our Jarge hotels, and in New England nearly all the large manufacturing establishiaents and cotton mills have them. THE ALBANY ZOVAVES. How Thucy Enjoyed Themselves at Philadel- phin, aud Mow They were Received by the Seventh in This City—A Jolly Time All Around. Company A, Tenth regiment Albany Cadet Zou- aves, Will certainly not have a bad report to give to their Albany friends when they get home of the way they were treated while among the virtuous Gothamites. It appears that the company had @ splendia time of it at Philadel. plia. In the first place, by some potential means or ther not yet known to New Yorkers, the Brotherly Love folks succeeded in pro- viding them with the very best of weather, for dur- ing their stay in that delectable city the sun shone brightly and not too uncomfortably, waile cool breezes were thrown in as a reireshing set off. Then they were taken to the Continental Hote) after a short march, and were not compelled, as the unfortunate Seventh was lp July | last, to parade all over the town and test the dura- bility of thelr shoe leather on cobble stones origin- ally tutendea for Quaker street barricades, Com- ; Dany D of the Grey Reserves did them all the , honors right royalty, and their stay in the town was Wound up by ® glorious banquet at the Contl- neptal Hoi, where all the good things that My | Kings'ey knows so well how to please his guests | with loaded’ the tabie in appetizing abundance.

The marching of the troops in Fifth avenue was superd, the ered ba te obtaining an ample shave of the applause with which the Seventh folks were greeied. — Aftey leaving the boat at the foot of Canal street, the guests of the Seventh were escorted up Broadway to Fourteenth street, to Filth avenue and Twentieth street, where they were feviewed by tie Mayor at the “Blossom ‘ib?

HON. WILLIAM H. SEWARD. His Departure from America for a Journey Around thegWorld. [From the San Franctsco Chronicle, Sept. 2.] William H. Seward, ex-Secretary of Stute, sailed hence by the steamer China yesterday, on a trip around the world, to be absent a year. Long before | the hour of the sailing of the steamer a large crowd | of his friends and admirers assembled on tie wharf, to bid the distuguished statesman farewell, At about hak-past eteven Mr. Seward aud party ar- Tived, and proceeded immediately on board the China. ward retired to the ladies’ cabin, where he remained a few minutes, aiter which he proceeded to the upper cabin, where he held an informal RECEPTION, Many preminent citizens and a large number of his lady friends assembled to pay a parting tribute to him. Many others, not having a personal ac- waiutance with him, pressed forward to bid him sod speed, THE DRPARTURE, After the vessel had cast her lines Mr. Seward made nls appearance on the quarter deck, where be Was received with cheers as the noble steamer ploughed down the bay, and handkerchiefs were ‘waved from the wharf. Mr. Seward howed his ac- kKnowledgments, and the vexsei was soon lost from view. THE PARTY consists of Mr. William H. Sewasd, Edward 8. Seward and wife, the two Miss Risieys, and Mr. A. W. Randal) (ate Postmaster Geneal)and wife, | hoped some meniber of Congress will show w | Mr. Kthan Allen, law and addressed to the collectors of customs in | the following words;— Tae Marine Hospital tax haying been increased | from twenty cents to forty cents by an act passed at | the last session of Cougress, the same taking effect | on the ist Inst., you are hereby instructed to assess and to colicet for each and every seaman who has been employed on any vessel since she was last che | tered at any port of the United States, according to the provisions of that act. WHAT THE FOREGOING MEANS. ‘The majority of people are not, perhaps, very well acquainted with the meating and motive of the foregoing Order, It 1s explained in thia wise:— Every American vessel pays in at the Custom House for each seaman on board, no matter of what na- tionality, a hospital tax or forty cents per month. If the vessel hag returned from a voyage she pays a voyage tax in addition of a doilar per iead for each man. All this money goes to the Custom Mouse in each port where the hospital fund iskept. At stated i terms the amount in the hauds of each col- lector 1s forwarded to tho Marine Hospital with the jurisdiction of the port, or to such other institution as furnishes accommodation and atteudance to ‘those followers of the sea as happen to be stricken down with siok- ness or discase, When the owner of a vessel pays his hospital tax at the Custom House ihe paymuster of the crew dedugfs from the wages of cach man just the amount which has been paid on his account to the government, ‘Under the present tax, after a voyage or an absence from this portof six months, the sailor would tind himself indepied to Uncle Sam tn the sum of two dollars and forty cents. ‘the amount levied for such a wise and worthy object as the Sailors’ Hospital, which every leading port in the couniry 18 supposed to Possess, cannot be deemed exhorbitant, but the late | addivion of 100 per cent tothe former figure makes the Jack Tars extremeiy indignant. ‘Tae tact seems to be that twenty cents per month from each sailor was inadequate to sustain the marine hospitals, and consequently the increase. Some, however, say | thata United States tax of twenty cents on each | ton carrying capacity of ships has been abolished, { and to make up for the deficiency tbe sailors are made to pay double what they were accusiomed to, ‘There tsa State tax of this character, but the fede- ral government, it appears, levies no such extraore dinary imposition, and consequently can have no interest in raising the amouut of the hospital rate. HOW TH THING WORKS. As far as sailors are concerned they are free to hospital accommodations in o y part of (he world, but each country has a diiferent method of man aging the matter, Our system 1s 23 youd as any other. An American ship which salls Grom here with apative, mixed or foreign crew, it in not, returns to this port after an abse months, and having a w of say flity 2 her indevtedness to the hospital ‘und ¢ the present iax, If of her crew happened to be il!, and lay in bospital tour weeks at an expense, board, Aecommodaiton, ANd medical aticndance, of three dollars each per week, Ib world avout to $120, so that tu this particular stance there would ; be no margin of prout le!t. THE POINY OF THis SAILORS’ OLJECTIONS. Of course it is essential, and one are more ready | to admit it than tle sailors uemselves, that some | litue coatribution should be made to sustain the ef- fectiveness of these charitable insiitations, No doubt, if the sailors never paid a cent towards their support plenty of benevolent people could be found to Keop them going; hut wien each Individual sub- seriplion is seb down at so small a figure, and that tne yearly aggregate renders the mstituilous more Independent of precarious e:cemosynu: sistance, it is wiser to pay without grambling. iii at is odd, ' | i | " creas! | the prisoner’s counsel, said he would offer no tes- hy meg ete a Meee ae Peeliton Sin tne | thmouy, and he dii nut titink the prisoner was ip a q ae r ud not the | 2t mental condition to go upon the stand.

Seaverns, commenced at ¢he Court House in this ctty on Friday morning, before the Coroner, W. J. Macdonald. The murderer, who has quite recovered from the injurtes mflicted on himsell in his recent attempt at suicide, was brought into the court room at eleven o'clock and asalgned to a seat near his counsel, J. Hallock Drake. Buflum is a vile Jainous looking, low-browed individual, with glaring black eyes, jet clack hair, moustache and chin | whiskers, He was dressed in Scotch mixed coat and vest, black pants and whnte shirt. The expres- sion of his countenance was one of intense solicitude, | apd he narrowly watched counsel, witnesses and coroner. For a day or two previons to the exainination he was greatly depressed, and had very little to | say tO anyboly, He ts watched and attended | night and day vy four men, who relieve each other by twos every tweive hours. Tis morning the court room Was crowded by citizens of Newburg, who are interested in seciog justice done m this case. The first witness examined was Dr. W. A. M.
