THE MAN SALAMANDER ENGINE, FOR THE EXTINGUISHING FIRE S It being the duty of every good citilen, to contribute as much ash in his power, to the happineaa of his eltows. the advertiser, who it is ge nerally known, has always resided in the city of Baltimore, and from the nature of his business, having jc«n brought up to that of a house carpenter—possessing, at the same <:ime, a robust constitution and great activity of mind and body, con ceives he may, without being charg ed with vanity, aver, that he has sometimes, even at a great peril, rendered more than usual assistance, when the dost oying element has In en devastati g fiis neighbors’ pro perty. His profession has, also, led him to turn his attention to de vise some means to conquer this de stroyer, whan the ordinary means l as failed. It is well known, that the intro duction and genrial adoption of In. se has, of late enab ed ur enter prising cmnpanie- to extinguish firea with ..renter facility than form ry, and nothing remains but "• adopt the aubsenber’s apparatus, when we may a.most bid defiance !o dan ger from this useful but drcs- tsl . lement. It it wed kn wn, that •tom* of the most destructive fins ave originate i in si’nations, where the ui(li>.«ry means to extinguish them could not be brought into ac tion, owing toils local situation.— The advertiser allunes pa< ticularly to fires which o igmate, as most fires do, in the interior ol the hou e. It is a fact, that ewiog td the dense am. ke which speedily collects, it becomes necessary to bn ak away doors, wi'dows, and in fact, in many insta e», the roofs, before waicr can e applied Thisprocess, which is requently tedious, • sbles tne fi.e to obtain a hold which is not vpeedily bi oken again—’he introduc tion of the atmospheric air, so toon as it is admitted, causes the fire to i..ge with t n fold additional fury— .ml nothing but a i uodati | sup jil of wat. r which cannot at. all times paiticu any at this inclement s. aso , be obtained, will serve to arrest i's progress; hence the ren tes! remains doiiUitul—the fiery ele ment no ontn qoeutly hurling defi ance against th watery clement The advertiser’s plan is • rente ■ly this evil, and experience has taught .ini that it may be effectual- V do e. It is no doubt fresh in the recol lection of many citizens that some rears ago, 1 announced my discove tv, and nade several experiments, in presence of a number of gentle ne i, tire most competent toju Igr of ih" merits of in;, invention; ind - pend ntly of the successful experi ment I made in an old house, appro priate for the purpose, where a quan tity of combustibles v ere pri'pared and purpos> y fi. ed.

'wo of hich ahal Ibe at the dispose f the Fire companies in the city. and one for Kelt's Point. AH the inventor requires is asut ficient sum of money, to enable him 10 prOcare the necessary material and workmanship to complete these three machines, not doubting but that when their efllcacy ia preperl; tested, they will be. generally adopt* ed, even by private gentlemen, more particularly in the country, as they can be made so portable as to be hung up in the. hall or passage, and will be a suitable accotnpani ment to the fire buckets. The ad vertiser wishes it to be understood that this is not at present * money making speculation—all he wi-hes is a mere remuneration for materials and liihor—he will trust to the inha bitants of other towns and cities fix his profits, having cut to the patent office a specification of his invention with a view to obtain anexclusivp right to it. The citizens will be waited upon in a f w dava, with a plan of the m chine, when evefy desired information will be given re specting its operation. 1 will just remark that had my machine been npplyed at the late fire in R gera’ alley, the lives of Hu two valualde hors- s which suffered, might have been easily sited The public's f iend and servant WlliLl \M FINN.

The eye, in a limitn. range, takes in a combination of ob jects calculated to impress the mind with wonder and awe of the |j mighty power, w- u can thus dispose of the shapeless • ement of matter and control the headlong and im petuous torrent of watera. Stand ing up n a point of land, nr penin sula, termed by the junction of the two rivers, tha beholder views with aina/.ea.cnt ths stupendous pile i f mountains on the North, frowning upon a pile no less stupendous, on ihe*outh, hich ts separated from the former by a billowy swell of wa lets, I «h«d into a foam by the rode nt »s of the bed over which they have passed.

From the scene of grandeur, and of terror, a road of frightful aspect on the Maryland side, leads by the foot of a mountain crowded with winding precip'n ea, to a prospect o' surprising beauty. From this per spective of more than Alpine wild ness, a ride of 10 miles introduces the astonished traveller to a region that may emul te the captivating grace* of the fabled Vele of Temple in approaching to Frederirktown, the country assumes an aspect as il lustrative of beauty, as that he has i left is of sublimity. The earth pre i sents a surface, gently undulating, where the plough and harrow, those I Hvmbols of patient and persevering l industry, have traced indeliable lines, those strongly marked features which characterize an active, haal • thy, and flourishing state. THE TORT. . From Harlett’e Political E»»ay* and Sktch e» of Public Character*. A Tory is one who is governed by sen* and habit alone.

Accounts from Augsburg of the Itth inst. announce that war be tween Austria.and Naples is entire ly decided upon, and that orders to this effoctfeavebeen issued from th* Cabinet of Vienna. The Austrian army, in hi,,h Italy,, is represented as continually advancing* tetvards the territory of Naples, taking ii» rout through the dominions ol the Pope. These warlike measures are the consequence of the deliberations at Troppau, and the five Grand Pow ers of Europe are of one opinion re spectingthe revolution of Naples. Intelligence direct from Vienna confirms the above An extraordi nary activity is oWservible in the Aulic Council of War.-—The supe rior officers attached to the army of Ita y have proceeded on their way t< take their command The genera in chief is net yet named; but it is confidently reported that this trust wi<l be committed to general Bianchi, Duke de Cfissaiauza, who oppose* the forces of Murat when that Mon arch w as defeated. It is understood, says a Morning Paper, that Mr. Brougham, as he Majesty’s Attorney General, has give general notice to the lord Chan el lor and lord 'astlereagh, that the Q ieen means to send down a mes sage to both houses of Parliament • histfny. It cannot be immagiuei 'hat, after such intimation, any at rempt will be made to evade discus sion on the Message by the reading of the commission to prorogue the par liament; n r'would it, indee be con sistent with the duty which we owe to the crown to proceed to the mea sure of prorogation until a suitable provision shall be made for the estah lishment ol her majesty as Queen consort. The constitutional course of proceeding would be by a mes sage from the Crown, calling on rhtm, before th y separate to make such provision, and which, we trust, his majesty’s ministers will have the prudence to advise. The hon. Keppel Craven has writ ten another letter to the etrl of Li verpool, desiring to know whether his lordship had received his former letter, as no answer had been retm n ed. The noble lord has acknowled g'd the first letter, but had not yet received his majesty’s commands up on it. HOUSE OF COMMONS. November 23. The gallery of the House of Com mons was not opened at all for the admission of strangers. The fol lowing, however, is an account of what occurred in the house. A few minutes before S o’clock the Speak er look the chair, and called upon Mr.Chaloner and Mr Lawley, the members of Warwick, who were im mediately sworn in, took their seats. New writs were then moved for. one for Berwick, and two for the bor ough of Westbury. Mr. Denman then rose in his place, and said he had a menage to deliver to the house from her majesty the Queen, and wish to know whetliei he should present it at the bar ofthe house, or at his place The speaker answered in his place. Mr. Denman was then proceeding to address the speaker, but had only uttered the words “ Mr. Speaker, ” when the deputy, usher of the black rod made hi» appearance, and was received with a tremendeoes outcry of No, no!” —“Chair, chuir!”— <k Shame, Shame!” The Speaker, however, rose from the chair, and was proceeding to leave the house, when Mr. Tierney rose and observed, that not one word of what had fallen from the deputy usher had been heard, and how then did the Speaker know what was the mes sage, or whether he was wanted at aT in the other house. (Loud cheer ing) i he Speaker left the house amidst great uproar, loud calls of •* Shame, Shame!” and several of the oppose tion members hissed very loudly as the Speaker was quitting the ho use. But few members accompanied the Sp- ake»u Many members remained in the house, but the Speaker did not re-enter. On his return, he went along the side gallery to his own dwelling; and the seijeant at arms took the tnace to his room up stairs. The members then gradual- : ly separated. LIVERPOOL, Nor 24. I The eternal disputes between the 1 Queen and the Court, we are con- I cerned to say, are not likely to ter- \ minate. Her majesty has demand ed one of the royal palaces fora re sidence, which has been peremp torily refused.
