FUNERAL OF SIR JOHN SINCLAIR, BART. v tGi Hon. Sir John Sinclair, Bart, held no official situation c u* i w ;«♦ A i L ,at time of his decease, it was intended that (us funeral should be strictly private, and the circie of his friends was so exten- sive tnat it was deemed necessary that only the immediate relations of the family should attend. The Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland, however, desirous of doing honour to the remains of one of its original members, and most indefatigable and useful supporters, offered the attendance of a deputation, consisting or six senior directors and the otiice bearers. This honour was peculiarly valuable, coming from an institution the success of which Sir John had so much at heart, and, not being considered inconsistent with the previous 6v"ra.e/IlentS' WaS cordially accepted.— Edinburgh The remains of this distinguished patriot and citizen were interred in the Abbey of Holyrood. e uneral was private, but was met at the Abbey y <e Lord Provost and Magistrates in their offi- cial caracity.

It is With sincere re^tttTat we announce tlie sud.ion deatu of the Rev.

When the service for the day was over, Mr Saunders entered the pulpit, and ciiose as his text the following verses from St. Pauls Epistle to the Colossians:—"Beware, lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit alter the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the and not after Christ; for in him dwelleth all tfie fLli!ii(-s,; of the Godhead bodily, and ye are com- plete in Ji:us, which is the head of all principality and power." ilie Rev. preacher, in discussing this text, had described the apt configuration of the physical trauie ot man for the great objects of motion, respiration, and lile, and was proceeding to impress upon his audience the necessity of a strict obedience to the ordinances of our Saviour, in order that their spiritual frame might, "through the body of his flesh, be presented to God holy and unblameable," when, on his uttering the words You will be complete in Christ,' he suddenly stopped short, fell on his breast upon the cushion on which his sermon was placed, and then dropped backwards on the floor of his pulpit. he alarm at his congregation was excessive when it was found that he was unable to rise.

LITERARY NOTICE. "THE CRICKHOWELL TEMPERANCE AD- VOCATE.T. Williams, CricMowell. The first number of this little work has made its appearance- We are not called upon tojudge such a production by its literary merits, though it is by no means deficient. The object it has in view is laudable, and are of the very highest importance to the well-being of society at large, and of the labouring classes in par- ticular. The labourer is, in ninety-nine cases in a hundred his own greatest enemy. We hope something of a similar nature will be at- tempted in our own immediate neighbourhood, where it is much wanted. It is in vain to at- tempt to improve the condition of the labouring classes while this bane to their prosperity- drunkenness exists. v> e are sincerely rejoiced to see that the Temperance Societies iu Crick- howell and Brecon are flourishing. That the y will continue to succeed is our earnest hope. The thanks of every lover of his fellow-creatures are due to those who have established them.— We quote the following:— BRITisu LOCUSTS. Travellers in Eastern Coun- tries, describe to us the melancholy ravages made in them by locusts. Swarms of these destructive insects, many miles in extent, suddenly cover the face of the land. The husbandman rises in the morning, and where over-night he left green and flourishing pas- tures, finds only desolation and ruin! How sad, how awful are such visitations, and how deeply thankful ought we to be, that by the goodness of Providence, we are preserved from them, But has Britain, that fair and favoured country, 110 Locusts? We grieve to say she has and ravenous and destructive as are those of the East, her's are immeasurably worse. It is true, the Eastern Locusts spare neither the green and springing herb, nor the ripened and bending head every fair hope of plenty disappears from their path. Their numbers are countless, their march irresistable. And how awfully do the British Locusts resemble them Neither the green promise of youth, the ripe days of manhood, nor the full years of age, escape their ravages. They too, like their Eastern proto- types, afifiict in swarms; their name is Legion, for they are indeed many." DRAM SHOPS AND BEER HOUSES ARE THE LOCLSTS OF BRITAIN. It is these which destroy the health, the prosperity, the domes- tic peace, and the eternal hopes of thousands; which ruin the green places of our land, and which are by their baneful effects, fast changing the face of this great country, into a moral waste. "The land is aa the Garden of Eden before them, behind them a desolate wilderness."

ARTIFICIAL PETRIFACTION OF ANIMALS.—A pamphlet has lately been published at Florence, professing to give an account of some strange dis- coveries by Girolamo Segato, (known by his maps of Tuscany, Africa, and Morocco,) and the general accuracy of which is attested by the principal professors in that city. The report sets out by stating that, while Segato, in 1820, was traversing the deserts of Africa for the purpose of perfecting his map, he -was overtaken, in the valley between the Second Cataract and Mograb, by one of those whirl- winds, or rather sand-spouts, which are not uncom- mon phenomena in the districts of Upper Nubia. After it had passed, and Segato was boldly following in its track, he discovered, in one of the hollows which the wind had ploughed up, remains of car- bonized matter, and, at last, a completely charred body, both the bones and flesh of which were other- wise in good preservation. It struck him instantly that the process of charring could only have been effected by the scorching sand and that if the heat of the sand had, in this instance, effected the com- plete desiccasion and carbonization of animal substances, might it not be possible to effect some- thing similar by artificial means? On his return to Italy he commenced his practical experiments, and at length succeeded in imparting to the limbs and bodies of animaUf solidity and indestructible dura- bility. By this process whole bodies, as well as individual parts, acquire a thoroughly firm consis- tence, which is more perceptible and decided aecordingas the respective parts are softer orharder. The skin, muscles, nerves, veins, fat, blood, all undergo this change, without its being necessary to remove the intestines, which assume the same con- sistence. At the same time the colour, form, and character in general, remain unchanged, and no smell is perceptible; and both limbs and joints remain flexible and moveable as when alive. When bodies have acquired this consistency, neither damp, nor air, nor moths, can affect them; nor, as experiments have proved, do they suffer any injury from remain- ing under water for several days together. The weight is but very slightly diminished. Not a hair is lost; on the contrary, they are more firmly rooted than ever. Birds and fishes lose neither skin, scales, nor colours, and, in like manner, insects and worms remain in every respect; Segato's cabinet is said to furnish abundant evidence of this. A canary-bird, which has been ten years in this state, hath with- stood the attacks of water and moths. In the first year it was placed thirty, and, in the second, above forty days under water; and tor a still longer period it was exposed in a box to moths, collected expressly for the purpose. On being taken out, it appeared absolutely uninjured. Similar experiments were made with other animals, and with the like success. The hand of a woman, who died of consumption, exhibits the paleness and emaciation of that fatal disease and the fingersofa man's hand are perfectly flexible at the joints, and wholly unchanged. A still more remarkable object is a table, composed of 214 pieces joined together. The observer would take them for so many different kinds of stone, and yet they are nothing more than pathological portions of hum." membera -J thenœum.

SUNDAY IN FRANCii. PARIS—:In the morning, before breakfast, we walked into the streets, and were surprised to find the shops all open, and business proceeding as nsrial if there was any difference from Saturday, it consisted in the greaternumber of coaches, which might be seen hurrying off to Versailles or St. Cloud, and the towns in the neighbourhood of Paris, where recreation and amusement is resorted to more on the Sabbath than any other day of the week. Being desirous to ascertain how the Sab- bath was actually spent there we resolved to re- pair to Versailles, where the French King goes to worship. Having resolved on this a day or two beforehand, we were obliged to secure a coach, as they would all be occupied on that day. Having reached Versailles, we found little appearance for a while of his Majesty coming to church-shortly we were told, he would be likply to come first to inspect the masons and other labourers, busy at their work, repairing the palace here, too, the shops were all open, women washing in the open air, hay driving to the market, and all sorts of business proceeding as usual. Shortly after, the King did arrive but we were told that no one could get within a hundred yards of his carriage, he is so closely guarded. We passed on to the Gardens of Versailles, which surpass all descrip- tion for grandeur and extent. They were crowded with people, proi-nenaditig in every direction. Here the chief object of attraction was the palace of Buonaparte an.d the Empress Josephine it is open to the public, and servants are placed in it by government, to exhibit it to strangers for a shil- ling or two; Sabbath to them is the best day of the week. But this, with all its disregard for the Sabbath, was but a tithe of what we had yet to witness at St. Cloud, another royal residence about six miles from Paris. It is a lovely spot, situate at the foot of a gentle declivity, beautifully studded with trees and long shady groves, and several very large fountains. Here there is an annual/life or grand fair, which begins on the 6th of September, and lasts for three weeks. The 6th of September happened to be a Sabbath, but just so much the better for commencing the fair. Accordingly, on our arrival about five o'c ock in the afternoon, we found at least 8,000 or 10,000 persons collected, some promenading in the avenues, some loitering by the fountains,but the great mass engrossed with some kind of active amusement. Conceive a beautiful wood, with an open space in the centre, with tents and booths of every description-here a ball, and there a concert, shows and exhibitions without number, and an immense concourse of well- dressed people mixing in the dance, or trying their good fortune at some game of chance, amid the noise of shouting or music, and you may have some conception of the grand fair of St. Cloud. It is generally announced by authority, to take place at one of the royal residences, and graciously counte- nanced by his Majesty as he returns from chapel in his carriage. The scene was such as we could have enjoyed any other time, for the people were all sober, orderly, and well-behaved—but such was not our idea ot the way to spend a Sabbath. We now hastened back to the city, and found the gar- dens crowded with people, and the shops nearly all shut-most of them, we believe, close about four in the afternoon, for the purpose of getting some recreation. Now, in reality, is all Paris in the streets, the hum of human voices is heard every- where the public gardens are crowded with loungers, and the music is more splendid than usual. In the garden of the Palais Royal the fountain is playing, and on both sides of it may be seen crowds rushing into the theatres, which reap a rich harvest on Sabbath evenings; and again smaller parties of two or three desperate characters may be seen passing to and from the legalised gaming-house, in one of the principal streets near this spot. Such is the mode of spending a Sabbath in Paris-public amusements, theatricals, and gambling. We retired to out room, sick and wearied with such scenes, having never before in one day witnessed so uwrch of human depravity.— Glasgow Christian Journal.

THE REV. HAKTWELL HOKNE.—The clergy of this town having determined to present to the Rev. Hartwell Home, a specimen in sit ver of each medal published in this town in commemoration of the first publication of the Bible in the Engl ish lan- guage; a set of them has been got up by Messrs.

Lisbon Letter, Dec. 19 THIEF.—A few evenings AGO a smart-ooking young fellow eutered the shop of a pawn lokei in GoswellSlreet,to purchase a wedding- ring, slating that he was on the eve of matrimony. Having tried upon his own finger a handsome ring, which he thought likely to fit, he turned towards the door and called upon I, iiiiie" to enter, having pre- viously told the shopman the female was so bashful, he could not get her into the shop with him. His intended, or rather his pretended, did not make her appearance, and he went out at the shop-door, calling •'Jane, Jane." Before the shopman could get round the counter to look after him, he had made off with the ring. A HORRIBLE VILLAIN.-Tlie Natchez Daily Courier of the 6th of November states, that a being named William H. Short, who had been an inhabi- tant of one of the penitentiaries of the western States, but was liberated on account of his good behaviour, hired himself as a wood-chopper to a man near Natchez, a few weeks since that he worked in the woods some time, then pretended sickness as an excuse to return to,and sleep in, his employer's; that he was permitted to steep in the room with the son of his employer; that he arose in the night and went out several times; that he at last came in, struck a blow with an axe at his room-mate, which lighted on his forehead, stunned, but did not kill him; that he next went into the room of his employer attempted to cut his throat, and partly succeeded;' that he stabbed him several times in the temple and about the head, and with an axe broke several ribs and the wrist of his wife; that the son, in the meantime, recovering from the effects of the blow he had received, and hearing screams from the room of his father and mother, seized a musket and rushed down stairs, when the villain, perceiving a man coming upon him armed. fled, carrying with him, however, the contents ot the musket, which was loaded with shot; that he fled naked, and got off beyond the reach of pursuit. A few days afterward, Short offered his services as a wood-chopper to a man living about Point Coupee, 150miles from Natchez- On going out tolook at the woods where he was to work, Short walked behind his new employer, raised his axe, and killed him at his feet. He then returned to the house, in which there was no one except an old negro woman, whom he attempted to kill- She got clear ot him and fled. He then robbed the house ot what articles he wanted and went off. An alarm was raised, and he was soon after taken, when the facts being proved against him, he was permitted to make a confession and was then hanged. In his confession, which is to be published, he stated that he would have killed any man for five dollars.-New York Paper.

MEETING OF BARBERS.—SUKDAY DEALING. In consequence of the authorities of the several metropolitan parishes on the Surrey side of the Thames having resolved to put the existing laws for the observance of the Sabbath, after the 31st ult. in force, a meting- of the hairdressers, who have taken alarlllat the announcement, took placeon Tues- day evening week, at the sign of the Priuce William Henry, Bermoudsey Street. About 60 shavers had assembled an hour and a half after the appointed time for commencing business, which, however, was still longer delayed in consequence of the general attachment they evinced to the pot and the pipe. At length, having raised a cloud of mnndungus smoke which rendered them nearly invisible to each other, they began to think of elccllllg a chairman. After 20 persons had been vehemently called upon to take this post of honor, which they politely declined, M i-. Leaky consented to take the chair, and he ap- peared to have fortified himself for the task before him by copious libiti-lis from the quart pots, upon which he had justly conferred the right to share in his patronymic. He began by attempting 10 read what he called King Charley's Hact for the bitter hobservance of the Sabbalh-day. After playing sad havoc with King Charles's English, he came to the 11 exceptions, and obsened-l sees that servants are allowed todressmeat on Sundays, and why shouldn't we dress hair? (" Hear, hear," ''Bravo!") I thinks it werry hard as fishfags may iell mackerel on Sun- days, and people may dress fish, ifwp arn't allowed to dress ladies' fronts. ("Bravo.") They don't fine people 5s. for selling milk. Where do they get the milk from ? Don't they milk the cowfirst P And afnt it a shame as fellows may make a noise in the street crying their skybluc, what they mallufacturs with chalk and water, and we musn't mix up a bit o' lather? (Hear.) Our parsoil Says as works of necessity and charity are allowable. l¡¡o'l it a work of necessity for a man to get shaved 5 Talk about shaving on a Saturday night, it's all stuff! Why, some men's beards will crow up in a night, as you all wery well knows, gentlemen, and how could they go decent to church if they don't get shaved of a Sunday mornin'? (Hear.) And then I says it's a work of charily for us to shave 'em, for it ain't every man as can shave himself, especially working men for they can't handle no too!s but their own, and' some on 'em drinks a good deal (hiccup), and'then their hands shakes, and you knows, gentlemen, as some on us as lost customers for having shaking hands, when we happened to guy 'eat a nick accidentally. (Laughter.) I say it is charily, for though they pay us, it aint always easy work to .shave a Sunday mornin's beard, perhaps a week's growth, and I've had some stiff uns in my time. ("Hear," and laughter.) If you keeps open you'll be fined 5s. (Hear.) Mr Lloyd on hearing this bristled up into a dread- ful passion, and roared out, -6 1 won't shut up for nobody. The Chairman.—Then keep open, and be Mr Lloyd. I won't shut up; I'll see them all first. If they summonses me, I'll stick the summons on the shutter and appeal to the people. By I'll breed a revolution. (Cries of "sit do,vii, "You're' drunk," &c.) I won't sit down. rID a newsveuder j and 1 sells the unstamped. Mr Pott.—Oh, you and your unstamped too. What have wegot to do-wilh that hair? Thai's the way the respectability of our profession gets injured by barbers dealing in papers. It's abominable' ("Hear," and hisses.) Mr Lloyd.—Injures the purfession! No more t'other. (" Hear" and uproar.) I'll tell ye what in- jures the purfession—under price men, and you're one on 'em. Mr Pott.—You are a liar. Mr Lloyd.—I'd adwiseyou, Mr Pott, to shut your pot up, or else I'll spoil your mug for you (Cheers and ei-ies of Order.") The Chairiiiar.-Ot-der, gentlemen. I'm quire: ashamed of you. (Hear, hear.) We don't come here to fight and lather one another. (Hear.) Sit down, Mr Lloyd; you are werry insulting. Mr Lloyd.— Iwon'tsit down. I arn't consulted no oue. (Hisses.) All old Member of (he fraternity here sentimentally remarked, as he knocked the ashes out of his pipe, Well, I never blushed for the shaving trade before The Chaii-iiian.-Genilen)eii, I call on our worthy deputy to make a few obserwations. The Deputy rose slowly from his seat, and replied gravely—"1 will. A still tongue makes a wise head, and I shan't say no more." (Laughter and murmurs.) At this stage of the proceedings a high-price man and a low-price man had stripped to fight and began to lather away in good earnest, each encouraged by his own party. After a short bru^h, some of the It ss pugnacious interfered, and the combatants were separated. Great uproar, however still prevailed, until The Chairman obtained attention by bawlino- out AH you wo! means to keep open your shops on' Sundays hold lip your hands. All! all! Now mind, all hold up." (Cheers.) The greater portion of the meeting obeyed the malldate of the chairman. Mr Wells, who appeared to he the only sensiblp man amongst them, then rose and said he had not come there to speak, but kaeeiii,(r tlte niantiei. it, which 'hey conducted themselves, he could not refrain from calling them back, if possible, to a sense of decencv. If he had known that Ihey intended to amuse, or rather abuse, each other, in that disgusting way, he would not have conn*. It was really not the kind of behaviour lie expected from persous who had to wait upon gentlemen, and sometimes Poll ladies- and they ought to remember that they were persons of some consequence in society, having a great deal to do with the heads ot the nation. (Laughter and cheers.) He recommended them to keep their shops open until cliurch-tiuie,and to conduct tht ir necessary business on Sundays ith the greatest decorum. If they acted thus, he thought they would not be fined or if any shoud be filled, the whole body should subscribe to pay it. Ile cuticluded by pro- posing a resolution to that effect. Mr Lloyd seconded the motion. Mr Davis said he had been filled himself by Mr Chambers, the magistrate, who "Iflicted the penalty, admitted the hardpship of the case, and said that people ought not to be prevented from getting shaved on Sundays. Due of the overseers of the parish in which he lived had told him that the law would be strictly enforced in every case. lie, therefore, recommended that every one should shut up his shop. (Great uproai.) Mr White said he was a surgeon's barber, and was often called to a neighbouring hospital to shave broken heads on Sunday8, and had once been sum- moned for so doing. For hIS own pari lie should like to have his Sunday to himself. '(Continued uproar.) Mr Payne, asked the last speaker whom he worked for! He replied, that he had formerly been em- ployed by a lady, to who,, he was now married. This was flatly contradicted by the querist in no very agreeable terms, and a "row"0f the most in- describab!e nature ensued. The Chairman in vain endeavoured to obtain a hearing, although he announced that he had brought Burns Justice in his pocket tor their edification. More than twenty persons were talking at the top of their voices at one time, so that it was impossible to catch anything but au incomprehensible Jargon, composed of expressions which fell from the different noisy orators, something like the following: -No humbugging chinscraper shall ever—wot never sarved his time to—burn justice !-like cus- tomers pulled by the nose—and fined for charitable actions and keeping my kids-d-ii the wigs !-I never shaves under 2d—you lie-order- ifre -tioip -hQt water-razors-shabby rascal-iiiier-villaill -geiitieti)eii-la(lies"-aiid so on. At length Mr Wella insisted upon having his motion put. The Chairman tried to read it, but could not he therefore put it iu his own way-I( All you that will keep open, hold up your hands." He declared it carried, and being asked to put the contrary he replied, Oh, we don't want any con- traries," The above may appear burlesque, but it is fact, and proves the maxim, that truth is stronger than fiction. These burberous proceedings ended in a dispute as to who should pay the expense of priuiing the placards for calling the meeting together, and the chairman, with two or three of his supporters, was left iu the lurch by the rest.

SLEEP WALKING A singular instance of somnambulism occurred at Whitby not long ago. A servant to Mr Kirby, who resides in the outskirts of the town, arose trom her bed about two ("Clock in the morning, under the impression that her sister had called to tell her that their brother, a sailor, had arrived, and she was to go to her fa- ther's to see him. Having dressed herself, she unlocked the doors, and wending her way through the streets, crossed the bridge, and went up a yard in Church-street, to her father's house. She called up her friends, and, when let into the house, seated herself on a chair. But who can describe the feelings of her relatives on perceiving, as soon as a light was procured, that she was all the while fast asleep? Her dress is said to have been im- perfect and grotesquely arranged, and her counte- nance very appalling. The distance from Mr Kirby's to her father's house may be about a quarter of a mile.

ACCIDENTS IN MINES. In returning to the Report of the Select Committee on this subject, it is with the view so repeatedly urged of giving the utmost publicity to the evidence of the scientific gentlemen who were examined, in the anxious hope that the various hints thrown out by those gentlemen will be materially improved upon before the expiiation of another ses-ion of Parliament. The Committee conclude their Report with the candid admission that beyond this hope they have nothing more to offer. Their own words are-" That on a review of their labours, your Committee cannot but feel apprehension that they have, in a great measure, failed in devising adequate rernidies for the painful calamities they hate had to investigate: they entertain, notwithstanding, a san- guine expectation that the attention of the public will be avaiiingly turned to this illterestilig subject. The aid they have received from many scientific and philanthropic characters in thecourss* of this inquiry, and the disinterested zeal the parties have mani- fested, warrant these hopes." How far legislative enactments might come fairly in aid of the miner, has, very properly, had the serious attention of the Committee. The great dis- similarity, however, of the mineral stratifications in different parts of the kingdom, added to the con- stantly varying circumstances of particular mines, render it almost impossible to )ay down precise directions, or form any rules of universal application. On this suhject George Stephenson, Esq. expresses hi,t,selfas t'olfo%%s Are you acquainted with the coal-mines in France ?-I am not. Do you know whether, in the kingdom of Bel- giurt), there is a public officer whose duty is to examine the iiiines as to the safety and extent of the workings ? — I am not aware that it is so in Belgium I saw the proprietors of mines, and I believe the mines at Liege are worked rather extensively. Are you aware that that is the case ill France, that there is a public officer appointed by Govern- ment to take care of all the mines, and inspect them wilh reference to their safety?—I have heard that there is such an officer, but I do not know it of my own knowledge. Do you consider the safety of the mines to be an object of national importance ?- Yes. "Do you think it is of that importance a* to justify the apointment of an officer of that descrip- tion, and if such an officer was appointed, do you think that a code of laws could be established to prevent accidents in mines?—I think it might, but it requires so much considerati m, that I could not give a decided answer to that question at present, If a law of this kind were in operation, and some public officer had the power, when he considered the mine in an insecure state, to suspend the opera- tions of the mine till il were safe^ do you think that would be beneficial ?—I ihink it would be beneficial. I think it would cause managers to be always on the alert it does appear that there must lie some i neglect somewhere at present." The opinion also of Charles J. S. Walkei Esq. bears strongly on the propriety of legislative inter- ference. That gentleman was askeii, If it should occur to Government, as a wise and expedient measure, to send commissioners to investigate the state of mines as regards the safety of the work- men, would any objections arise to learned men, unconnected with the trade, being allowed such an inspection, do you conceive ?-I should have no objection as a proprietor. "Can you conceive any reasonable grounds for objection ?—N<>. If you were liable to the accidents which you are aware have occurred in the counties of Durham and Northumberland, would you not think it a sub- ject very deserving the attention of the Legislature ? 1 should think there ought to be an inquiry. And how would you propose to issue such an inquiry ?-I am not prepared loatiswer-that question. "Supposing that committee was sitting, after being informed of loss of life to au immense extent having taken place, 100 men should be added to the list in an instant, do not you think it a subject deserving their most serious investigation?—1 think it is. All you are afraid of is unnecessary interfer- ence 1-Yes, unnecessary interference. For some time, it appears, it was strongly con- tended that until some satisfactory conclusion had been urrived at, the labours of the committee ought to be followed up in the mining districts by gentle- men competent to ihe tusk. The committee, how- ever, eventually go, i-id of this pi-opo-ition in a rather singular manner. Ou considering what may be due (says the Report) to the comfort and welfare of a class of men who, at great personal risk, contribute largely to the necessities, luxuries, and wealth of tltis great empire—the immense value of these mines to the commuuity—the loss of life which these mines to the communily-the loss of life which has occurred—and the benefits which have Already accrued from the labours and investigations of scientific characters, your committee have been dispost'd maturely to weigh the suggestions which have been made to them, upon the necessity of having this inquiry continued in the mining districts by competent individuals acting under authority. They are not insensible to the advantages which might result from such a proceeding; but many serious objections having been stated to the propo- sition, ynur committee conclude, under present circumstances, to abstain from givin an opinion upon the necessity or expediency of such a course." The opillion of Mr John Buddie on this part of the subject is worthy of being laid before the public Do you think that if men of science, not con- nected with collieries, were induced to visit the mining districts, in order to inquire into the causes to which accidellts were allribUiable, it would lead f<> any useful results to tbe objects of this Com- mittee'—I do not know but it might, for I think it is from science, or rather from genius, that we have allyrhi'ig "more to expect. I do not know that we can have a more marked instance than the visit of Sir Hulilplii-ey Diivy. I do not Ihink that we are the persons likely to discover any new light I would rather look to some person of genius or science who is not au immediate collier; and 1 think it is mote likely that something might be elicited in that way than by those going oil daily in the working of the mine and 1 think all the coal owners in our coun- try would he most glad if any thing could be sug- gested, and would cheerfully give every facility that they could to such inquiries." u There is a peculiar state connected with the old workings of iniues called Sty/he." which is of the most dangerous description, and every way worthy the most serious exam inal ion. M r Buddie was asked "Is there all evolvement of carbonic acid gas to such an extent, in any of the mines, as to prevent the burning 01 he »*P e*» frequently, aud candles too. That IS hat we call "Stythe." We generally fli)d tV"t in old woi-k- ings: it is rarely, if ever, found in the new workings of a coal mine. • 0 "Where it is necessarv to expel it, what are the means adopted -Nothing. but strong and powerful ventilation, aud we find it more dififcult to move than the inflammable air. "When the workmen are overcome by the unex- pected presence of carbonic acid gas, do you con- ceive that adequate care is taken to produce re ani- mation ?-Yes. I conceive got- but the effect is as instantaneous in some cases as gun-shot. I have known a man, by merely putting his head into a hole in an old working where 'stythe' wasf to drop Cead as though he were shot, and 1 have inquired of medical men the cause they say that the lungs are found in a state of absolute collapse, and that inhaling the gas must have thrown them into that state iu an instant, ludeed, it must be something of the kind, from the very sudden manner in which it inflicts death but, at the same time, we both travel and work ill certain mixtures of it to a great extent. In my own experience I know that it may be breathed when no tlalue will exist in it; and 1 have had occasion frequently to travel in a mixture of this kind, when a candle would not burn, and the steel-mill give hardly any sparks. Have you any physical indication of its pre- sence?—Yes, oppressive breathing, but not by any means dangerous while the steel-mill will elicit any sparks. "What are the indications?—Oppession at the cliest." The Committee expressed great pleasure at the increasing attention that is paid to the moral cuhure and education of the mining population, and the report says—" That from the establishment of associations similar to the Polytechnic School recently formed in Cornwall, as named by one or more witnesses, and the opportunity thus afforded of cultivating native taleni», great advantages may be anticipated." On this subject the evidence of John Taylor, Esq. is interesting: "You have stated that an improvement in the mode of ascending and descending the mines is, at the present moment, a subject ofunxious inquiry on the part of the miners in Cornwall ?-It is. Has anything been suggested to such an effect as to render it probable that such improvements will be introduced ? — Mr. Robert Fox has proposed a premium which be ottered himself through the Polytechnic Society in Cornwall, for plans of such an invention, and understood, though I have not seen them, that several ingenious devices were brought forward, but none were thought quite prac- ticable. The premium is still offered by him, and 1 know that it is the intention of some of the prin- cipai miners of adding so much to that premium as to make it worth the while of ingenious men to turn their thoughts seriously to it. It has been proposed to adventurers in the Consolidated Mines to offet- 10 guineas. You have spoken of a Polytechnic Society in Cornwall how long has that society been in exist- ence? I believe about two years. "What are the objects of its institution ?-To encourage native talent which seems to exist there for mechanical invention, and the name has been taken from the circumstance of their encouraging also works of art, drawings, &c. • » • The specific object of this institution the Com- mittee understands to have been the genem1 advance- ment of mining science in a mining district ?-That is its principal object." After all the assistance, however, that either science or legislation can afford for the safety and protection of the hazardous trade of the miner, the great security must of necessity remain with the workmen themselves. The dependence placed upon agents and managers is necessarily great, and doubtless, in many instances, from the characters of the individuals, justifiable. It it justly observed by the committee that the number of subordinate overseei-P, under whatever name, ought never 10 be reduced on any pretence of economy aud that there must always be a vigilant superintendence of these on the part of the owners, viewers, or managers, as well as a determination to employ none in respon- sible statious who have not recommended themselves by long experience, skill, sobriety, and habits of strict attention. It is also the bounden duty of the owners of milles themselves constantly and carefully to examine into their state and if this is not per- sonally practicable, they ought daily to have laid before them written reports from their subalterns of every circumstance and event connected with the proper ventilation of the mine. The Report of the Committee concludes in a very admirable as well as useful manner. After alluding to the great mass of evidence collected, and the various suggestions already before the public- There will however, still remain'says the report) to be exercised that quick perception of cause and effect, that accurate adaptation of means to the end, that nice observation of various natural phenomena connected with the state of the atmosphere at the surface and under groun(li -UPOU which it is obvious safety must ultimately depend. Every possible exertion shou'd be made, every effort employed, to bring the workmen acquainted with their individual responsibilities, and those theories and principles both as regards the lamps and proper ventilation, upon the observance of which their personal ex- istence, aud that of their comrades, are at stake; and in conclusion, your committee regret that the results of this inquiry have not enabled them to lay before the house any particular plan, by which the accidents in question may be avoided with cei-ainty and, in consequence, no decisive recommendations are offered. They anticipate great advantages to the public and to humanity, from the circulation of the mass of valuable evidence they have collected. They feel assured that science will avail itaelf of the information, if not for the first time obtained, yet now prominently exhibited and that the parties for whose more immediate advantage the British Parliament undertook the enquiry will not hesitate to place a generous construction on the motives and intentions of the Legislature.

STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH AMERICA. Dr. Lardner, in a late lecture on this subject at Macclesfield, said that one of the greatest projects which had ever occupied the human mind was at present in the progress of actual accomplishment. He meant that of constructing a great highway for steam intercourse between New York and London, between the capital of the New World and that of the Old. Part of that highway was in the pro- cess of formation. It consisted of several stages that of the railroad from London to Birmingham— that from Birmingham to Liverpool-and the steam intercourse with Dublin; but there was another stage, that trom Dublin to Valentia, which had, as yet, hardly been thought of. Ireland was a country hich, with all her political disadvantages, was blest by nature with a vast number of physical advantages, and amongst the rest he might reckon a vast number of excellent harbours. No country in the world ^could boast of so many fine and spacious ports, bays, and roadsteads She had many fine harbours on her west coast which would serve admirably as stations for steam conveyance across the Atlantic but Valentia had been selected as the extreme westerly point suitable for that purpose. It was a fine anchoring ground by an island of that name on the coastof Munster. The distance from Dublin to this point was under two hundred miles, which might be traversed in about eight hours. The nearest point of the continent of North America to this point of Ireland was St. John a, in Newfoundland. The distance between the two was about 1,900 miles—thence to Halifax, in Nova Scotia, there would be another run of 550 miles, and from that to New York would not exceed the admissible range; but touching at Halifax would be desirable for the sake of passengers. The only difficulty would be as to the run from Valentia to St John's, and the voyage from Dublin to Bordeaux and back, a distance of between 1,600 and 1,700 miles, with the same stock of coals, came very near this distance. It must be observed that westerly winds blew almost all the year round across the Atlantic. They were produced by the trade winds being the compensating cause that restored the balance which these served to destroy, according to that beautiful principle of nature, w nc l a "ays provides a remedy for any derange- ment in the deranging cause itself. As a last resource, however, should the distance between Va entia and St. John s prove too great, they may make the Azores a stage between. So that there remained no doubt as to the practicability of esta- blishing asteam intersourse with the United States. AS to the project, however, which was announced in the newspupers of making the voyage directly trom New York to Liverpool, it was, he had no hesitation in saying, perfectly chimerical, and they might as well talk of making a voyage from New York or Liverpool to the moon.

RAILROAD FROM PAITIS- To B[tUSSI-'L',R.-It is affirmed that the offers made by the Bank of Brussels tor the iron railroad from Paris to Brussels have been accepted, and that the branches in the French territory will be undertaken by French societies. The branches from Valenciennes and Lillc will join at Cambray-Brussels Paper. 'JRKADHIL Sliip,vitECK.it falls to our painful duty to record the entire wreck of the cutter Murgaret, Captain Le Scelleur, off St. Clement's Bay, about three miles from St. Helier's harbour. The cutter Margaret left Granville at 10 A M. on Sunday last, with a crew of four men, including the master; also eleven passengers, and a cargo of bullocks and goods At six P.M. she anchored near Chansey till seven, at which hour she pro- ceeded for Jersey. The Captain perceived our coast about half-past ten, and communicated the intelligence to his men, who expressed some doubts as to their being so near the island. Half an hour after this the pilot (Benest) perceivad lights, which he took to proceed from St. Helier's pier; but the Captain said he had never seen the pier lights so far off. Benest, however, maintained he was right. The Captain went up the shrouds several times and coming down, at 12 P.M., he observed the sea breaking close to the cutter) and just before she struck ordered the helmsman to bring her hard up, as there were rocks a-head. This caution, unfor- tunately, was too late, as the MargareVs keel came in contact with one of the sunken rocks abounding in that quarter. Upon this the passengers, most of whom were below, immediately rushed upon deck, except a Frenchwoman and two young chil- dren, who remained in their berths. One of the passengers saved, relates, "that when he came upon deck he observed that the vessel was already on one side, and that hesaw two men in theshrouds, apparently looking out for the coast. The Mar- garet then struck twice more, and was beginning to sink, when he climbed up on the offside as vell as he could, and saw a sailor, who had jumped into the sea, to recover the boat, which had drifted a few yards off When this individual had succeeded in his efforts, he brought the boat close to the vessel, and two of tho sailors, with himself and another French gentleman, then jumped in also, just as the cutter was going do"n with the rest of the crew and passengers- Jersey Argus. A MATRIMONIAL ADVENTURE.—A few weeks ago, a pair of lovers, sick of freedom, presented themselvesat I he. aha of St. Margaret's Church, that they might be united in the bonds of marriage. But the Rev. Gentleman having learned that the baus had been published in the parish church of one only of the parties, he declined to perform the ceremonyi stating that as they lived in separate parishes, it was necessary that proclamation should be made in both, Reluctantly they witndrew,to pass a few more weeks of tedious courtship while the bans were duly pub- lished. On Sunday last they again presented themselves, and were buckled together hard and fast. The Gordian knot being tied, the '-happy man" refused to pay the fees, as he had been subjected to extra expense in the publication of bans, whereupon he was locked uP. tn the chancel, in company with his new-made wife, who (as all "better halves" shoultl) refused to desert her partner in his adversity. Imprisonment made no impression on his resolution —he persisted in refusing to pay the charges (perhaps for a sufficent teason)—and ihe relenting sexton Liberated him in time for the wedding dinner.— Leicester Chronicle.

SCH1PTURE 1 LLUSTHATIONS.—HO. 119. --No- MARK., XIV, 32.—"And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane. THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE.—This garden is now surrounded by a coarse low wall, of a few feet in height, and about the third part of an ere in extent. When Mr Catherwood was there in 1834, taking the drawings for his beau- tiful Panorama of Jerusalem, it was planted with olive, almond, and fig trees. Eight of the olive trees are so large that they are said to have been in existence ever since the time of Jesus Christ, although we are informed by Josephus that Titus cut down all the trees within one hundred furlongs of the city yet it is not improbable that these trees, which are un- questionably of very great antiquity, may have arisen from the roots of the ancient trees, be- cause, the olive is very long-lived, and possesses the peculiar property of shooting up again how- ever frequently it may be cut down. The trees now standing in the garden of Gethsemane are of the kspecies known to botanists as the Olea Europea they are wild olivc-^and appear pol- larded from extreme old age, and their stems are very rough and kuarled. They are highly venerated by the members of the Roman com- munion here, who consider any attempt to cut or injure them as an act of profanation. Should any one of them, indeed, be known to pluck any of the leaves, he would incur a sentence of excommunication.—Finden'i Illustrations le the. Bible.

A FORTUNATE i')FF.—A paragraph, under tbi* denomination, is .going the round of the papers, vis- "One of the richest men in England is the Re*- Mr Hughes, formerly a poor Clergyman, but now said to possess a revenue of between 70.000/. and 80,000/. a year. Some years ago he was part pro- prietor of a barren piece of land, for which Lord Uxbridge was then in treaty. The purchase money (a very small sum) was agreed upon, but the Nobleman, not keeping his appointment one day to finish the business, the Commoner, in a tiff, would not give him another meeting. On the above- mentioned barren piece of ground were subsequently discovered the rich Anglesey copper mines, from which Mr Hughes draws his enormous income." Now all this might have been very well some forty or fifty years ago. A bed < f pure ore, sixty feet deep, was discovered in 1768, by an agent of the then Lord Uxbridge the Rev. Mr Hughes, owning part of the land, called Pary's mountain, of course became a sharer in the good fortune but the Rev. Gentleinan had been dead many years, and the pre* sent proprietor of a portion of the once rich mine' is Lord Dinorben, of Kimmel Park (son of the late Mr Hughes), whose daughter was married lately co Lord Gardener. These mines produced at one time 20,00i) tons of copper annually, and in 1806, there were 227 men employed underground; the consumption of gunpower was 17,0361b* and of candles, 26,283lbs; but at the present time the re- venue derived from the works is comparatively but little. r
