SUICIDE AT A LONDON RAIL- WAY STATION. On Friday week the report of firearms was heard proceeding from a third-class waiting-room at the St. Pancras Station. Several of the officials and a number of passengers rushed in to asoertain the cause, and a well-dressed female was seen lying en the floor with a revolver by her side. Medical aid was at once procured, and on being examined it was found that she was quite dead. She had placed the mu z:e of the zevolver behind her right ear, aitd tLiere was a corresponding wound on the other ai ue. showing that the bullet had passed completely through tha head. The deceased appeared to be a very handsome woman, about 35 years of age, aad was elegantly dressed, with money and jewAlery upon her pet&on, and from documents found upon her it was deemed advisable to telegraph to Scarborough. In the meantime, the body -was conveyed to the St. Pancraa mortuary. On Friday evening two gentlemen arnved there, and one of them at once identified her aah:3 wife, viz., Mrs. Blanche Hudson, "wife of Mr. Harrington Hudson, of Westbourne Villa, Scarborough. Mr. Hudson was so shocked and excited at the sad occurrence that he was unable to give any narra- tive of the circumstances under which she came to London, but it is believed sha was at the station With the object of returning home by the train ahoutto start. Br. Hardwicka opened an inquest on liondlbfat4he St, Pandras Coroner's Court, Lon- don. ifi. Harrington Hudson, the deceased's hus- band, who is an ex-naval officer, said his wife was S4 yean ef afie. She had been en a visit to rela- tives. and he had not heard from her directly since the 27th of January. He parted with her on friendly terms. Tiley lived on good terms as such people generally did. Other witnesses stated, however, that the deceased went in bodily fear of her husband, and declared she would never live with him. Proceedings for a divorce had been begun, Dr. Tristram having given an opinion, on a case stated to him, that there were ample -grounda for obtaining a separation. It was said also that the deceased suffered groat mental anguish at not being able to obtain Dosseasion of her children. The pistol with which ahe shot herself belonged to her brother. The jury, having retired to consider their verdict, after being absent about twenty minutes, returned into court with the following verdict" That the deceased came by her* death by shooting her. self with a pistol whilst labouring under tem- porary insanity; and the jury are of opinion that this state of mind was influenced by the unhappy relations existing between herself and her haa- band. The jury further wish to say that they are not at dissatisfied at the way in which the husband gave hia evidence."

CAPTAINS OF SHIPS AND PATENT DOUBLE ACTION PUMPS. Vice-Chancellor Baoon, sitting in the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice, had before him, on Thursday, a series of motions against the captains of vessels, for the purpose of restraining them until the hearing of actions whioh have been instituted against them from using certain double- action pumps on board their respective ships, manufaafcureed by Messrs. Wallace, but declared, by a recent judgment of the Court, to be, in some essential parts, an infringement of a double-action pump patented and manufactured by Means. Adair, of Glasgow. The qfastion of infringement was tried in the action of Adair v. Young and Wallace, Young being the master of a ship sailing from the port of Liverpool, and Messrs. Wallace being the manufacturers ot the double-action pump on board Young's ship, the Polynesia. The Messrs. Wallace claimed that their pump was not an in- fringement, but an improvement on an old invention patented by a shipping agent at Hull. During the hearing the plaintiff's agents at Liverpool, Newcastle, Cardiff, and the prin- cipal ports in the kingdom reported the arrival of ships having on beard Wallace's pumps, and in the result before the hearing of the action con- cluded, evidence was procured of several vessels arriving at British ports having Wallace's double- action pumps on board, and it being found on examination that these pumps had fixed oovers- the most material and distinctive part of the plaintiff's patent—the court granted injunctions agairst Captain Young from usirg or permitting to be nsed on beard the Polynesia, pumps of Messrs. Wallace's manufacture, and against Messrs. Wallace from manufacturing or selling pumps which were an infringement of Messrs. Adair s patent. Since this judg. ment was pronounced the plaintiffs have com- menced proceedings against Captain Johnson, master of the ship Trafalgar, now lying at Birkenhead, and Captain Poe, master of the Scotch ship Glendarnell, also at Birkenhead, for the purpose of restraining them in the same terms as Captain Young was restrained from using double-action pumps nanafactnred by Messrs. Wallace. Mr. Aston, Q C., who appeared on behalf of Captain Poe and and the Afesara. Wallace, submitted that at the hearing a nice point of law would have to be argued, as to whether the captain of & vessel, having a double-action pump on board his ship, which had been found to be an infringement of a patent, could be made the subject of an action for using Buch pump on the high sew, and not within the jurisdiction of the court. Pending the appeal, and pending tha actions commenced against the masters of the ships Trafalgar and Glendarnell, he would give an undertaking that the pumps impeached should not be worsea as they now were, and pending the appeal Messrs. Wallace would fix the covers of the pumps oi that manufaeture on board ships as they arrived in British ports. On this undertaking the Vi33- Charcellor directed that the motion should stand until thQ hearing. Coats to be costs i-Q mcUod.

rim GAEmF^ NATURALISTS* SOCIETY. AN IMPORTANT INVENTION. On Thursday evanieg a member's night," in cons ect ion with the Cardiff Naturalists' Souiety, was held in the Town-ball under the presidency of Mr. Henry BeJwood, C.E., F.C.S. Mr. James Milward, M.R.C.6., read an instructive and racy paper entitled U Some Remarks on the Khine ¥ag?n." He showed the importance of legendary lore, whea examined on an etymolo^ioal baeie, as embalming truth in poetic guise, and made special refexenoe to "The Mause-Thurm," "The 11,000 \irgins of Cologne," "The Dragon of the Sibengebirge," and l'he £ Syren of the Lurlei," to each of which he gave a rational interpretation. In oonolnaioc, he said he did not deepise those tatea, without them the Rhine would lose half its charm. Every bend in the river, tvery caatle and crag was instinct with yoieead the past, the romantic life af the Middle Ages; not that ka admired the prose of those times, but they haul there the poetry, and aa suck let them cheriah it; let them hear the stories of other days with reverent and with pious ears. (Applause.) 1 be CHAIBlQ.N then read an interesting paper on l'ho combustion of sulphur compounds," directing special attention to Mjc. John Hallway's new application of rapid oxidation, by which sulphidea are utilised farfneL He ex. plained that when metals ware extracted from their erM by fueion, the necessary heat was always obtained by the burning of co*l, coke, or other form of carbon. But sulphides could also be made to burn an air, and were thaa combustible substances, while the oxides were borliestbat bad been already burnt, or had entered ioto combination with oxygen. When irou pyrites were roasted in the opea air, an increase Of tem- perllture took place in its mass, aothat the oxida- tion continued without the application of external beat. The sulphur and metals frequently burned to waste butf it had been found that when a rapid current of air was forced through molten sulphides, the maximum temperature of combustion was attained, and the operation was concentrated into the space of a few minutes. Mr. btailway had ascertained that the oxidation of sulj. hides would produce sufficient heat to render their emelthg a self-supporting operation, and he bad invented a furnace by which the process could be carried on, and the sulphuric acid evolved and oxidized into eulphuric acid in chambers, or reduced to sulphur by sulphuretted hydrogen- This was important, as it would prevent the p di- lutipn cf the atmospbere by sulphur, and the consequent injury to vegetation. A vote of thanks waa accorded to Br. Mil war i and Mr. Heywood on the motion of tho Kev. W. K Winks, seconded by Mr.'G. E. Kobiueoa. The proceedings then terminated.

MANUFACTURE OF ARTIFI- CIAL ICE. At the time of the closing of the Glaciarium, cr real ice rink, at Chelsea, about two years ago, ex- periments were being made with the view of con' verting the premised into a manufactory of arti- ficial ice. These experiments were continual until about eight months since, when they gave piece to practice, aid ice-making on a commercial scale was cosamenoed, and has eve; since been successfully carried on. A company was formed for the purpose of working patents for the manu- facture of ice, and we have recently had the pleasure of seeinp the machinery at work. The machinery for producing congelation ia the same as that nsed for the rink, with the exception of some Elight alterations, which experience showed to be necessary. It consists of a steam engine driving a pump which, when in mobion, volati- lizes a refrigerating agent placed in the refrigera. tor. Drawing the vapour from it, the pump forces it into a condenser, where it ia liquefied to be again returned through a pipe to the refrigera- tor, & complete circuit thus being formed. Tho refrigerator is placed in a tank containing an in. cocgealable liquid, which, when cooled, is pumped off to a reservoir, whence it is distributed by gravity for use in the ioe-produoiog apparatus. The refrigerating agent is anhydrous sulphurous acid, and the pro- cess is that devised by M. Raoal Piotet, which fulfils all the requirements of a successful freez. ing apparatus. The arrangements of the moulds in which the blocks of ice are produced is the invention of Mr. Guillod. The moulds themselves are open at both ends, and are placed in a tank containing the water to be frozen. At one end of each mould is a revolving sorew, by means of whioh a current of water ia kept moving through the mould and the air, and impurities are thus washed away as they are ejected by the crystal. lizing water. The moulds have hollow walls, through which the freezing liquid is circulated. When the ice is termed it is withdrawn from the moulds, presenting fiae blocks of solid trans- parent ice, 4ft. 6in. long by 1ft. square in oross section. The blocks are taken to a store, whence they are supplied to consumers. The present pro ductive capacity of the company's works at 379, King's-road, Chelsea, is seven tons per day, but it is intended to increase the ice-making plant as cecessity arises, and for which there is ample space and engine power. The ice has received considerable approval in medical quarters, and is EOW regularly supplied to the London, Middlesex, Guy's, and St. Bartholomew's Hospitals.

NEWCABTUS, Thuraday.-There has been better feeling in trade circles during the pad,, week, due probably, m some measure to the finet weather and the activity in out-door worka, bat beavy fall of snow to-day will have a depresaiaf effect upon out-door occupations. Ison has beea firmer, but manufactured iron ia not much in de>^ mand, which shows that in shipbuilding an engineering works not much is doing; indeed# some works which have been kept busy with marine engines, are now very slack, and thi? amount of shipping lying up in the Tyne ia not' likely to atimulate ship building. No less than eight vessels, belonging to one firm, are &id up for want of profitable employment, and they are the finest description of vessels. In the chemical trade prices are improving. Makera are slow is accepting long contracts at preaent rates. The, Esparto gnusa Btocks at the Tyne docks have never been lower, and, where 30,000 tons were' stocked, there are not 300 tons at present. House* hold coals have fallen 1a per ton, and are iowef than they have been for fifteen years. SteaoL1 coals are very quiet.
