The bouse ! built for the experiment was a small frame building 20 feel square, placed in a field on an elevated po sttioti. It was a rough boaid cottage the main body. of which was two stories bib, and a wing; at tach side.

A crowd of police were there, and a chain was placed on .the stakes around the building, about! ten ttfet from it. i Ah half! past one o'clock, a jgenlfemanfcame jonj the bacik r;oof, and request led all to retire outside as Mr. Phillips was go ing lo set the building on fife.; It was propos ed that a committee; should be appointed by the crovd to examine the builtdfng witness the opt e ration inside, and report.

The Manufacturing of fire-arms, is done in quite a (different manher in America from what it lis in England. lt England the greatest number of ail the parts pf a gun are made by hand: jn America they are made by machine. advaaiaffes of the tatter mode are the place and perform the offices of ibe injured part exactly, tjuly ten per ceut. of Coil's fire-arms are made ly hand labor. The ac curacy of troll's pistols was fully proven in England jby experiments, for at Woolwich, men unaccustomed to the use of the said pistols, at. tained tb great precision; and wiih a small belt jpistob ai a distance of fifty yards, out of 48 shots, 24 bullets took effect h within one foot square, and 13 ofljbemhil theibull's eye, which was 6 inches in diameter all the shots struck the targeu Scimitfic American. .. fi r ; -l Speed of the Magnet Current. A long e perience of the coast survey with some dozen different irpes of telegraph, establishes the faci: that the velocity of the galvanic current is a -bout fifteen thousand four hundred ; miles per second. J The tirpte of transit between Boston and Bangor wast recently measured, and the result was that the time occupied in the trans mission 'as one sixteenth thousandth of a se cond, anJ ibe velocity of the rate of sixteen thousandli miles per second, which is about six hundred Jniles per second more than the aver, age of aniher experiments. If it is desirable, iihe Yankee can be found who wilt make an effort to improve upon this speed. Bos. Jour. This mJst be slow electricity, for it has long ago. been held to be a fact, by electrical philosoper8f that the effects of an electric cur rent would appear at a distance of 576,000 miles in one second ; and, alter all, it cannot truly be said that the velocity of electricity has ever befjn truly measured approximation is all that can b claimed.' The jjhristmas " sports" ?. of the vi-' cious ajrad disorderly of our city, It will be seeneNewbere,, tiave resulted in the death of two individuals, and the incarceration of several charged with the commission of crime. These results will, it is hi nce re ly to be hoped, induce tbe adoption of mu nicipal regulations effectually repressing future violations of existing Inws,- as well as cause the enactment of ordihan ces, the provisions of which shall be; suf ficicntly stringent to protect; the lives and property of our citizens from tbe unlaw ful acts of reckless men or boys. The discharge of fire arms of any kind or on any occasion in our streets, we! be lieve, is strictly prohibited now, and it is only required that some striking examples should be made to cause the ordinance to be obeyed. No respect of person or sta tion should be regarded where such a vi olation of law takes place. The older the individual, or the higher the station, the greater the ; fault, and the more severe should be tbe penalty. The ignorant and uuedutpated and thoughtless boy, must be repressed and governed by example, as well ajs in person ; and therefore, when such shall see that reckless men are not permitted to commit improper acts with impunity, they will naturally become more regardful of their own conduct. Another instance of escape from wound or perhaps Ideath. was brought to our no tice yesterday. Ihe drawing room of a house in Tfadd street was, from cause. closed on Christmas day. Jbubscquetly, on opelning the inside shutters of the room, a perforation of one, of the panes of glas was observed. Examination showed that the ball had hit the shutter, glanced iup wards, leaving its mark, and then bad fal len on the sill of the window, where it was fouind. Had the room been occupied by a merry party of ladies and children, as had usually been the case on similar occasion, the consequences that might have resulted can readily be conceived.
