New Fire. The Editor of the London Monthly Review describes a new kind of fire, which is made from "a very cheap and common liquid." The heat which it produces is so intense, that it boils a kettle of water in a few minutes, and causes a much greater ebullition than coal fire. It is applicable to all the purposes of cookery to any extent that may be required. In the summer season, it would be the most agreeable and economical fire which families could wish for, as it may be kindled in a moment, and extinguished merely by closing a valve. It is free from all danger, as the liquid will ignite only in the cauldron in which it is used.

"Experiments are about to be undertaken for applying it to the boilers of steam engines, and if they be favorable, steam boats may soon traverse all the seas on the face of the globe, as the liquid that supplies the fire may be contained within a very moderate compass. This important discovery has, as yet, been exhibited to only two or three persons. We find this discovery was the result of accident, and it is so simple, that when it is made public, every body will be surprised that it has not been in use since the beginning of the world."
