ExTERIMIMT WITH FlRB RESIBTING TIMBER. On Monday B. Rcay, of Dublin, the inventor of preparation for rendering timber to a great extent tested the experiment at tho Commercial Hall, Gloucester street, in presence oftho Mayor, Mr David Hodgson, Mr.

Henry Booth, Messrs. Milner and son, and other gentlemen. Two piles of timber, tho one consisting of pitch pine, which had undergone tho process of preparation, and the other con sisting of Mcmel, which was unprepared, weld' elevated inform of the rafters of a house. Shavingb were placed undcrnoath, and fire was communicated In a few moments the memel was in flames, and very speedily consumed. The pitch pine, which was three several times exposed action of 800 de gress of heat, stood the heat admirably.

Some of the timbers were more or less charred, but very little injury was effected and a remarkable part of the ex periment was, that the prepared timbor upbn! which the lighted shavings were placed were very slightly damaged by 'the fire. The Mayor and other persons present expressed themselves satisfied with the expo riment so far ar it had gone. TUESDAY EVENISC, OCT. 21. Democratic Republican Nominations.

FOR SENATOR, EDWARD SANFORD. FOR MEMBERS OF ASSEMBLY, GAMALIEL KING, OP BROOKLYN. JOHN A. VOORHIES, OF FLATLANDS. Democratic Republican Gen.

Committee OF THI COUNTY OF KIKGS. The members of the above Committee are requested to meet at No. 7 Front street, in the city of Brooklyn, on FRIDAY, the 24th day of October, at 4 o'clock P. M. TUNIS G.

BERGEN, Chairman. Edward Macomber, Secretary. o30 5t Elections. Pennsylvania. The returns continue favorable.

Tho Senate will stand, probably, 18 Dcms. to 15 Whigs tho difference frcm last year being the result of a new apportionment In the House we shall have a majority of about 30 which will do. Florida. The returns are incomplete but they point to the election of Brockenbrough, (Dcm.) by about 200 majority. Georgia.

The majority for Crawford (Whig) will be about Tiio Whigs, will also have a small majority on joint ballot. Ohio. Tho of things has changed since yesterday. The Abolitionists have joined with tho Whigs and given them tho preponderance in several close, and heretofore doubtful, counties. The result is, an apparent Whig gain of several members in both houses, and a thousand or so on the popular vote.

The Birneyites, anticipating firm and decided action by the President in regard to Texas, have taken this method of giving him a gentle hint that it meets their disapbrobation. By the way The TVioune copies our paragraph of yesterday on this topic, and asks, Mr. Eagle how are you now Bather disappointed, certainly but not half so much chagrined as you were on predicting a majority of 20,000 for Clay in New York, and coming up with. 5,000 for Polk Public Cisterns. The Board, last evening, re considered a resolution for the building of a public cistern at the.

corner of Myrtle avenue and Pearl slieet, because the number of remonstrants exceeded the number of petitioners. Wc regret to see this course adopted in reference to a matter of so much importance. In regard to the opening of streets it has been usual, we know, to observe this rule and yet the Board have never suf fered their hands to be tied or their jfflgment overruled by private interest when the public convenience demanded their action. The greatest good to the greatest number," is practically the rule, and it is right and nropor that the few should submit But cisterns are not merely public conveniences or improvements they arc also public safeguards. As the project to obtain any large supply of water has been virtually abandoned, for the present, wo shall bo foreod to rely mainly upon cisterns far the extinguishment of fires.

We insist, therefore, that it is the duty of the Board, as guardians of the public weal, to locate them wherever they may deem it necessary no matter whether the remonstrants exceed the petitioners or the reverse. In all communities there well be some who dislike the payment of taxes and probably, if it were a matter of choice, there would be none paid at all. Fortunately, however, this is viewed rather as a duty than a privilege and the wheels of government are thus kept in motion. A single individual, by refusing his assent to a work of this character, might give rise to the most disastrous consequences affect. ing not only himself, but his neighbors for half a mile round.

Scarcely a tire occurs but what more or less difficulty is experienced from the lack" of water: and those who refuse to bear their share of the expense of precautionary measures, aro not, we suspcet, tho last to complain of the firemen. We intend to keep this question before the people. City Hall. Wo were in hope that the secresy which has heretofore enshrouded tho proceedings of the Common Council regard to this contemplated structure would have been removed last evening, so that the people might havo had an opportunity to see and hear more about it. We observe, however, that a motion to that effect, by tho chairman oftho Committeo on Land and Places, was negatived, and the veil, here toforo deemed inpenctrable, drawn closer than over.

Well, we shall keep on hoping for the best, let mat. ters terminate as they will. Under favor we think there is a great deal of humbug in these secret sessions generally, and cspc pecially when they refer to such important matters as this. The whole thing must ultimately be brought to light, and reviewed by that court of last resort the people. It might, therefore, save trouble and perhaps mortification, to keep the latter advised of such movements as they progress and to acquaint them with the arguments advanced, pro and con.

One clement which frequently enters into the defeat of measures concocted in secret is a diBhkc of the suddenness with which they arc sprung; are a deliberative iind must hsivc time think. sugjestodi which wo think a feasible one, vix to carrr the vrotqn water urooaiyoj oy pipes iwa iu tho bed of the rivor. iV Y. Neat. Our neighbor is behind' the times.

This Croton project was the 'fiat, broached but! hnmejous! con sideratkms were raised against it, not the least of whieb was an unwillingness tq receive such supply through the medium of New York'. The experience which Brooklyn ims had of her kind regaid in; the matter of ferries 'will operate as a standing caution hereafter against forming' any entangling nlfiancca with her at.least any further than is Besides, it is question the Croton would prove adequate supply for New York and Brook lyn five years hence, even if it did now. And finally, there will be honecessity for injniediatc1action on the subject if the plan of erecting public cisterns is carried out. Not Unparalleled The papers generally speak of the mile a minute" performance over the Troy and Greenbusli Railroad, as unparalleled" in tho United States. This is not the fact.

A precedent existis in tho performance of an engine over the Boston and Providence Railroad some two, months ago, in order to discover a package of money was supposed to haye been lost, but which turned out to have been left at P. On this occasion the steam was forced up by extra combustible matter, and the hair of. the fireman, as ho himself averred, almost literally stood on end." Musical Publications. Among the novelties of the press is a beautiful scries of cheap music, issued on supeffine.paper, with embellished covers, by Ho mans and Ellis, 295 Broadway, New York The work is edited by Henry C. Watson, at present the musical critic of the Broadway Journal.

The first number, now before us, contain sixteen pages from the popular, opera of and is Well worth the attention of amateurs and professors of music. It bids fair to work a complete revolution in the sale of musical publications and to bring standard and popular music within the reach of every class of people. XT Tho New York Mercury, speaking of our Ci ty Hall project, Would it not be bettor, for themtopay up the old debts incurred some seven years back in the endeavor to put up some such pub lie It would be better for our neighbor over the water to understand something of this matter before he favors us with his advice. Suppose it should turn out that the contemplated erection is a part of the means by which old scores are to be wiped off? Eh? News via Gotham. The Mercury says that the Floating Theatre, recently located at the Fulton Dock, in" this city; has been very fairly patronized." We suspect our neighbor would find it father a troublesome job to convince tho manager of the truth of that statement, unless he deems fair patronage to consist in.

a scries of audiences ranging from ten to twenty in the boxes, and two or three dozen of hat shoeless (in some cases) jacketless urchins in the pit. The experiment resulted in a dead failure. An ingenious carriage has been invented in Worcester, Mass', Tor traveling on the ordinary road without the aid of horse power. It has thres wheels upon a light iron frame, and is moved by a crank or wince, worked by the passenger. Tho carriage is steered by the forward wheel with a tiller.

Tho whole weighs only 50 lbs. It is similar in construction to the one lately invented in England, which we notieed the other day. Destructive Fire. About half past last evening a fire broke out at 11 Spruce street, N. York, next door to the "Tribune Buildings," which destroyed that building and most of the effects contained in it among which were the stereotype plates and engravings of Harper's Illustrated Shakspeare, the Book of Common Prayer, Publishers and printers were the greatest sufferers.

An American artist of skill and genius," has invented a automaton chess player, which beats Mael zel's in the moro perfect working of its machinery.

tho anti hog regime, they are put in high feather and untold numbers. Prospect, Jackson, Yorit and other streets, through which our stroll extended this morning, were literally alive with them; and in the latter named thoroughfare we counted an interesting group of thirteen, pursuing their usual avocations with great unconcern at the dangers impending over their devoted heads. The authorities, however, do not seom to interfere with them as yet for the reason, probably, that they are to be allowed three days grace after which we shall undoubtedly see what we will see. Police. The scarcity of business at the police very praiscworthily holds its own.

Disorderly peccadilloes, even, are on the wane. The nights are now eettinr a trifle too cold for vagrom men to roam about and elevate the ancient Edward." Nearly all those who think that tho world owes tbcm a living, have been particularly provident this time, and have oitiicr taken board for the season at our friend Dox scy's in Flatbush, or snugly ensconced themselves in tlio comfortable quarters so liberally furnished by the county, at the jail.

At tho late banquet, given to Mr. by the Repealers of Tipperary, that honourable and learned gentleman, in tho course 'of along speech, made the following observations "Let the, cycle but como round for England (and iiis.coming fast), Ireland will have her own again, anil England will be obliged to ask for that alliance which we are now ready to made an alliance of tho separate states under the one monarch, with our own Parliament to protect us, as the sole source of Iegisla tionifor the country. (Cheers.) Even in little tilings one perceives the deeper interest that the people of England, and the English press take in Ireland.

I when the Times newspaper had no better words for our venerated clergy than surpliccd ruf aiid bigoted tyranU and for the people, "a filthy and ferocious rabble." They use better language now they even send over a commissioner, in Jhej hopo that that commissioner would be able to ro port some advance In prosperity. Why, how could they "expect this Has not Lord Devon's report proved the reverse has it not distinctly stated to the and people of England that nearly one half the population of Ireland are in the grcatcststate of distress that they arcbadly housed, badly clothed, 'badly fed that their houses are pervious to rain, and unsheltered against the winter blast that a bed or a is a luxury scarcely ever experienced, and that the' peasant holds no possession but his dung heap and his misery Has not Lord Devon's report of that and tfhat need had they of a ''commissioner'? I will tell you. They wanted somebody to adduce some evidences of prosperity after 40 years of tho union. Well, tho commissioner has come, and I urn exceedingly amused by the fellow ''he is'a' comical sort of a chap. The way that these flBtvspaper writers generally practice is this: when once.

informed that they are to be sent or a journey, lhcy most commonly write their letters before they Btart, and afterwards make a finish by the addition of a fewsenlehccs. (Cheers and laughter.) This Timet fellow. His rianic is.Fdster (not a good name lor Ireland; beganby publishing a letter on political economy truths that every man was familiar with einee the da js of Adam Smith such truths as that two and two make four that fiye and seven make twelve 'matters and things that no man would dream of de nying or questioning; and having arrived at Conclusions of that importance, he goes on to. describe the people of (Hear, hear.) Do you know what he found but 7 That the women of Ireland "ireugly. C'Oh, oh He never was in Tipperary, i think.

(Cheers.) I know I never could see one I wish, the fellow was here to point out one tome. Could he point. out.half a dszen ugly women in this room to nigh't could he pick out one, the vaga pond and Well, then, "be. goes onto say," that of any of the Irish who are "strong and active derive those qualities from an ad of Saxon blood. He speaks with reference to tho acknowledged superiority of tho Irish, as prov cd by the Scottish and Belgian philosophers, but he seemed to forget the most important part of his reas 'bning.

The Irish are the strongest becauso they have some Saxon blood in them Why, the En 'glish else in them, and yet he makes ths paradoxical. assertion that a part is greater than tho whole that the Irish with an admixture of Sax on Wood; ate stronger than the English with nothing else. These are tho sort of fellows they send amongst, us to instruct the English on the state of Ireland but I have the pleasure of telling the wo. men of Tipperary if it be worth their while to think of it that, he is an awfully ugly fellow himself he is, fact, known by the title of ugly al Why, really it does us no harm at all to iincet with these things they asymptomatic of the anxiety of English public writers and English states men to niiu some excuse tor cnccking the onward progress of the cause but the progress of Repeal cannot bo checked by the folly of onesctof individuals or by the crimes of another. (Hear, hear.) Every opposition must shrink before the might and majesty of Ireland.

Repeal will give to Ireland the Water of life pure and unalloyed, and unmixed with iricphitic vapours. They shall be administered by a Parliament acting for the people protecting and encouraging the industry of the land, and giv ing peace, liberty, and prosperity to old Ireland."
