Fall of an Immense Warehouse ! !
1 Loss $40 000- I
Richmond, June 24th. This Afternoon
abcit twenty minutes to 5 o'clock, persons
in the vicTnity of the Whig Building and
State Courthouse were startled by a strange
arid uncommon loud nq-e. ; Upon inquiry
it was ascertained to have been caused by
the falling of an immense warehouse 6u
Governor orJThirteenth street occupied by
Messrs Ilabliston Jt Brother, the most ex
tensive-Furniture dealers -in the State.
About the hour mentioned, it carrii down
witba terrible crash, producing he most
intense alarm and excitement anjiong our
citizen,s as it was thought more thatLprob-
ably that many persons had beer, killed.
I ajn gratified to state, that not a life has
been ascertained to be lost. " .
Some of the workmen in the upper srd
ries heard the rattling of thewiadQw glass
and suspecting tne r.ause leaped precipita
tely from the windows.' - . .
The Messrs. ilabliston, their clerks, and
enstomere, including two ladies, who were
in the stqre had Mifficient warning of the
impending dangei to enabh? them-to' rush
out They all e3rapedaniDju.red, Ope of
the workmen, in the third "story, . namef
Boswell, came aown araia me.wrejK, ana
strange to relaie wa onlytslightljy hart--
Hls escape was mpst miiaculous.f '
The aefcideut was caused by, uderrn.yyig
several laboreres being engaged exea
. ....
Lvating for a new building un the lot im
mediately adjoining, wbich was made va-J
cant several months ago bythe burning bf
Mr, John A. Belvin's Cabinet shop and
several other baildinga.
. The building destroyed was owned by
the estate of Win. Mitchell-, defcd,and was
contruccd a few yeats since at a cost of
over $1 2,000. It was four stories higbiad
a handsome granite front and extended
from Governor to Twelfth streei a.di.stanfte
l-of 150 feet.

.For every mile that we leave the iurfa"ce
of our earth the temperature-falls 5 degrees
At forty-fivet miles distant from the globe
we get beyond the atmosphere and enter
strictly speaking, into the regionsf space
wjiose temperature is,225 degrees below se
ro, and heiexold reigns in all its power.
Sorne idea of this intepse pol 1 may be for
md by stating that the greatest cold obv
served in the "Arctie Circle is frorn 40 de"
grees belew zero and b,ere many surprising
effects .are produced, In the chemicle la-.
boratory, the greatest, cold that we can.
produce is about 150 degrees below zero.
At this temperature carbonic gas becomes
a solid substance like snow. If touched it
produces just the -same effect on the skin
as a red-hot cinder it blisters the fisher
like a burn. ;
Quicksilver or mercury freezes at 40de
grees below zero; that's 72 degiees below
the temperature at- which water freezes,
The solid mercury may' then be treated
as other metals hammered into sheets or
made into spoons ; such spoons would
however melt in w iter as warm as ice.
It is pretty certain that every liquid and
gas that we ae acquainted with would be
come solid if exposed to. the cold of the re
gionsof space. Thegaaiwe light our stree
ts wouid appear like wax ; oil would be in
reality as hard asA rock ; pure spirit, tvhich
we hare never yetsolidified'would ippear
like a block of transparent crystal hydrog
en gas would be quite solid, and resembles
a metal ; we should be able to Cum butter
in a lathe like a piece of ivory; and the
fragrant odors of flowers would have to be

These are a few of the astonishing effects
of cold which after all merely means the

The Sound Dues-
A letter from Berlin, aparently of a
semi-official character in the Hamburg
Correspondent states that the Prussian gov
ei nrnent is eserting itself to brjng the ne
gotiations on the question of the Sound
dues to a satisfactory issue before the expi
ration of the time fixed by the UnitedStates
for the cessation of their treaty with Den
mark, which having, already been prolong
ed foi two months, wil 1 finally lapse on the
14th of June next.
At the present moment the situation of
affairs is, as the writer affirms that,with
the single exception of England all. the
maritime States interested in the question
have accepted the . proposals of Denmark
for the capitalizalionoY the Sound dues.
It is incorrect to suppose that England has
declined acceding tb'the terms oflcred but
it hHrue that the Bridish government have
not yet committed them-elves at all on the
subject although more than a yeaT elapsed
during which they have had full'Uuse to
take the matter into $eir serious consid
eration "and to Bouddthe intention of other
government. Prussia has at length taken
up .the question-with energy and at this
present" moment negotiations with Den
mark are being actively-carried on. It is
not expected that the (jniled State's will
consent to any further procrastination but
the question will really come to an issue on
the 14lh of June. ' .

Well, if I must musL I said I thought

The counsel dropped the witness and let
the question of contempt pa-s.
There is a chap out west so mean that
he boils two bone buttons in a pint of wa
ter. This gruel lasts him exactly a month,
lie has used the buttons so long that he
has boiled the holes out of them.
The above story is almost oqdal to ona
we. heard somewhere of a miser ind his
son The miser kept his butter in a .bot
tle, and when he dined, he taugfit his son
to eat butter as he did by rubbing his
bread on the outside of the bottle
The miser beipg aUenUcne day, his son
had to content himself with rubbing his
bread on the cupboard, in which the but
