This Sto*e is constructed of the best quality of Russia sheet iion, upon the cylindrical plan?the furnace or fire-chamber occupying a part of the centre cylinder, to which is attached an atmospheric Rarefier upon each side, of a tubular form, and lined throughout. The heat that is created in the chamber iwsses between the linings of the two rarefierx (or radiators as they are called] into the base at the bottom, and a current of air continually rushing through the tubes, which are left oiieu at each end for that purpose, carries a great amount of rarefied or warm air into the apartment. The pnrity and softness of the air in a room heated by this stove are peculiar and remarkable, the heat being diffused from a great exleul of surface moderately heated. The healed air, on entering the wings or sides of the stove,descends and spreads over the entire surface of the base at the bottom, keeping the colder portion of the air next the floor in constant circulation? in the meantime preserving it entirely from contamination, rendering this Stove perfectly safe and agreeable for a|*rkajcea.

S. ship North Carolina. Wednesday, Sept. 7. Trial or Lieut. Ciiari.es Wilkes, concluded. The Court met at 10 o'clock, A. M., precisely, all the members present. The Judge Advocate, ufter commenting on the extraordinary and unprecedented course adopted by Lieut. Wilkes, in making his defence before the Court a vehicle of personal abuse and slander on himselt, asked permission to be allowed to put tn a replication to that portion of,the defence which was of a purely |tersonal nature, and not connected with it, as an act of justice due to himself, both ill his individual and official capacity. After a short consultation, the Court refused to allow the application of the Judge Advocate, as they did notconsider it a matter appertaining strictly to the case, and it could not, therefore, pro|>erly be attached to the record. The Judge Advocate owes it to himself as well as the public, to publish his replication to the foul slanders which were so liberally hea|>ed upon his head by Lieut. Wilkes in his defence, and which were evidently intended for effect elsewhere than on the Court; us is shown by the fact J that it lias been printed tn pamphlet form for distribution. Hesides tnis, we will venture to say there is not a member of the Court who heard the defence read, but considers it a wanton and undeserved uttack on the Judge Advocate, who has faithfully discharged the arduous, and frequently unpleasant duties of his station in a manner which plainly shows that lie had but a single eye to the] meting out of nothing but "equal and exact justice" to all concerned in this affair. The doors were closed, and the Court re-commenced its deliberations on the cuse before them. At a quarter before three o'clock the doors were again opened, und the Court having arrived at a decision in the case, and the record and documents connected with the trial, together with the finding of the Court, were sealsu up and directed to be trans, milted to the Department at Washington, tor revision and approval. The great mass of evidence and accompanying documents which it is necessary to examine, in orrlpr fn fnrm h rnrrppf itulirnipnt nn thp finrltnir nf Court, it is likely will occupy the Department some two or three weeks, until which time it will not be divulged. In the mean time, the whole case having been spread before the public through the columns of the Herald, the community will no doubt arrive at a verdict which will have a bearing on the character and reputation of Lt. Wilkes, be it for weal or wo, through the whole course of his future existence. The Court adjourned until Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. Court of Common Pleas. Before Judge Ulshoeffer. Sept. T.?Wright vs. Hart, sheriff, 4*c?The jury gave a verdict in favor of defendants, valuing the property at $516. Horatio Hinchnuin and Monmouth B. Hart, vs. The Mayor, frc., of New York.?T\\t plaintiffs, in the fall of 1840. were, Commissioners of Registry in the Eleventh Ward. Knowing there is no use in having a good office without a good bill, they charged for 62 days, being, at $2 per day, $124. The Comptroller demurred to the time occupied, as it was more than had been claimed for by any of the Commissioners in the other wards, and paid them $100 each. To recover the remaining $24, separate actions are brought. They claim for three orfourdays after the election, as well as previous to it. The plaintiff's contend that there was more work to do in the 11th than 111 other wards. The Court remarked to the jury that they must determine Irom the avidence whether or not the plaintiffs were entitled to pay for all the time they demand?if so, they were authorized to bring in a verdict to that effect.

That they failed to perform such contract?that their stock was very valuable, and that they should supply thn city when desired, even if it was at a small loss Alderman Bams said that the conditions were, that they should supply all the gas that was reasonably desired," and not that which was unreasonably called for. Alderman Smith said that the company entered into this contract some thirteen years ago, and that they had] only introduced gas into two short streets, except those of a business character.

I>odaying their resects to the tea room. On reassembling, the ordinance relative to the Croton acqueduct was again taken up. Mr. Scoi.es offered remarks in relation to it. A call was then made for the reading of the ordinance, which was agreed to, and sometime occupied, from its great length, in the operation. The Mayor's objections were then read they are principally aimed at the direction of the Croton acqueduct being kept in the hands of the joint Croton water committee of both boards, in cases where amount of ex|ienditures may exceed $100, the committees acting, by the means, in an executive as well as a legislative capacity, which is a dangerous jiower?it is also o|iposed to the numps being suffered to go to decay, or the wells being filled up, sed to. Assistant Alderman W. Dodge said that only one of the commissioners was to be paid?the others beingselected from gentlemen of leisure and ability, many of whom could be found who would willingly undertake the task. As to the committee not reporting, the gentleman of the 17th must recollect that an ordinance exists requiring every committer to report its proceedings. The Mayor is in error when he savs the Croton committees are to be absolute under the ordinance?if is expressly stated that they shall not expend any money but what has been specifically anpropriataa by the Common Council. In regard to the pumps, a resolution haa already been introduced in the Board of Aldermen, which obviates the objection, and he had no doubt but they will be preserved. As to power, he would prefer seeing it retained by the Common Council in its own hands rather than delegated to inde|?endent departments. He hoped the gentlemen would pass the ordinance as it is, and permit the department to be organized. Mr. I), mode quite a brilliant, and, (considering that he had a lot of stubborn locofocos o|s pesed to him,) rather an effective speech, lie was followed by Assistant Alderman Watkkm?m "'Kn aunnnrfAtlthp Mltiprtinnanf th#?

Assistant Alderman Scoi.es said that he was glad the discussion had taken place.
