This great triennial tansia4 festival eourraencts to-morrow morning, with • programme at least as antic. tie. as say of its ppredecessor■, and with • choir sad bands which posies to fully make up for one or two disappoint meats w►ic► the committee experienced is making their eagsgemeets. To obtain the assistance of Jemmy Lind was the anaious wish of the committee, and so long vises se lest December Mr. Leaman', the chairman, addressed to t►is celebrated lady • letter, I. which, after explaining the por tion and diameter of the Birtninpham Festival, he mid: It will therefore be • twitter of sincere to the committee of minagement if they ofyour services, in which case t►ey would ea se the sae ear of the undertaking, oa behalf of their aelde charity, as determintd, and would further rejoice ia stadia( your same to the list of distinguished vocalists wh• ►ave pro. ,ceded you in by.goue yetis,: among whom they are proud to rank Catalani, Pasta, and Melanie's." This letter was received by Mademoiselle Lind at New York. and headed by her to Mr. Beytos. her agent, t►ee about to proceed to England, with directions to answer it ow his arrival. A letter wee accordingly received from Mr. Payton, dated from Loadoo on the 16th of February, in which he communicated Millie. Lind's expression of her regret " that her present arrangemeats sad her future plans both rendered it improbable that she should be in England at the date of the Birmingham Musical Festival, and that she must therefore decline the invitation sent her." As arising out of these proceedings a case of peculiar hardship has been brought under our notice, where a re spectable Rio merchant has been most hardly dealt with. Wc allude to Senor Antonio Leopoldiao Ribesro, owner of ti.e Eolka, about whose capture a great deal was said at the time and we have nuw before us a l e tt er from th e a we,. :lam"! gentleman, wherein he must clearly denies that either himself or his teasel ever had anything whatever to do with the slave trade. His statement is .imply so follows: That the Polka, captured by her Majesty's steamer Shareshooter, was his eruct, her name, together with that of the owner, being carved on the rudder; that she was well known as a te.4elar trailer, carrying coffee and timber between the ports of St. Juno and Maeahe to Rio Janeiro, with only a moll crew, the berths on deck fur master and mite, At the time of her rapture all the stores she had on hoard consisted of one terse mask of water and two barrels for fetching the WM.' from the fesuntain, two vats, one with about sit bushels of farina (4 kind of Hour made from the medium root) and the other with provisions for the crew, the Polka hail not oa board a single article or provision re quisite for eons, yawl- of slaves, and yet in spite of all them manifold proofs of her I. gality she is seized and sent to St. Helens fur coniterniation, chiefly on the plea that there was Of had been is r of the same n a m e , t h e F o lk. ; h ., papers are all in order, and the inquiry would have satisfied the tommander of the sharpshooter that he had =islet's his name. But no, a certain number of vessels most be taken in order to ensure promotion; and so the innoeent Tones is condemned fur the guilty one, and the good name of a Roo merchant tarnished trues the game selfish object." Senor Itibeiro comments • ith strong indignation on the general arts 01 the British cruisers stout that time; but he metals!y seem. to lure just cause to complain of the capture of Las vessel under the circumstances named, and the cor rectness of which he says the whole commercial body of Rio Janeiro, both Brazilian and foreign, are ready to attest. Is conclusion he says, "I here terminate the appeal, which. full of cemtidenee, I address to the noble English riti. , n The government of a free country always obeys thi torte of public opinion, and the midenigned has stt,ropted to enlighten that opinion. A people so fun of sec.. the English will undoubtedly make its government h.l that by confounding with slavers resorts employed in icsocent and legal commerce, the British cruisers serve the s ,nee of the traffic by throwing the odium of injustice and mity en the rigorous measures adopted by its govern ea, rt ; sad which could only be accepted essentially jest W e trust that if.upon due inquiry,the statement of Senor 1::hs in , as tus,:y borne out, he will receive from the B ' h gocreinient that reparation to which he is on every ground ,stifled; and• further, that we may now not only etozedulate Brasil on the removd of these hostile aided. ueive proceedings, but also at the removal of so foal al at from their escutcheon as theta( even conniving at a teat& in human flesh.

In the meantime the news of her marriage was received; and, on the 29th March, a letter was addressed to Madame Otto Ouldechmidt, and signed by Lord Leigh, the president, 11. Smith, Esq., the Mayor of Birmingham and vice.presi dent, unit J. k. Lesions, Esq., chairman of the committee, repeating the request, and appealing strongly to the benevo lent spirit for which she bad gamed so much reputation. " The depressed condition," said the letter, "of the funds of the General Hospital, which art mainly dependent on the success of the musical festivals, and by which the medi• cal and surgical requirements of a vest and increemieg popu lation are subministered to, must plead the 'Reuse of the committee in again addressing you. They would respect fully but earnestly entreat your leflOol consideration of their proposal, trusting that it may be made compatible with your other anengements ; wad they would press the subject on your attention more closely, inasmuch as they feel that they would not be doing justice to the elaims of a valuable institution, or properly fulfilling the duties dale. gated to them, were they not to urge upon you the accept ance of their offer. On this 'mead, therefore, they appeal to you for the exercise of that talent which would render the success of the undertaking undoubted, and enable the committee to place your views in regard to remuneration on the must liberal footing." The committee added a re quest that, in the event of On being able to accede to their wishes, they would esteem it sea I if M. Otto Gold schmidt (who is a pianist of some reputation) would under take the part of soloist on the pianoforte. The following reply, dated from London, the 17th of June was received from M. Ooldschmidt :—" Only some days be fore we left New Turk, and embarked for Europe, Mrs. Uolilschmidt received the letter signed by the president of the Birmingham Festival, itc., laying before her a second time an invitation to waist at the festival, to which she had replied the first time in the negative. Thin circum stance, combined with a great many occupation, which were pre•sing upon us before our departure from America, has prevented her from answering this letter before, and asking the pardon of the committee for the delay, I bog to state that Mn. Goldschruidt and myself are sorry not to be able to 'veil out selves of the invitation of the committee to twist and be present at the festival, es ~departure from England will take place immediately, and the desire and necessity for Mrs. Ooldocbmidt to rest iron profes sional labours will retain us for some time on the eentiaent. I oeg you to have the kiedness to infoim the committee of this division, and remain," tic. Equally unfortunate were the committee in their endea vour to secure the services of Madame Sontag (the Constar Komi), who contributed so largely to the success of the ha tiara in 1849; and Signor Mario, whose talents have never been wanting at any festival since 1813, on this oesasion made a demand as moth exceeding all prectdest, that eem. planes with it was out of the question. The sweetest and most graceful of tenors was courteously remonstrated with, but, notwithstanding the fact of his having been reminded that this festival was the chief support of one of the meat vslusble charities in England, Signor Mario refused to accept the terms of 1849. Signor Lablache declined the offer made to him on account of an engagement in Ramis ; and a proposition made to Mdlle. Wagner failed, it having been found impossible to come to terms with her. Having noticed the dificaltim and the untoward events with which the committee had to contend, it is pleasant to point to the array of talent they have secured which places the Mien= Of the festival beyond a doubt.

TILE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 7, 1852. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. Mon the Jury Roporto of tea Groat Ezhibdtles.) PRESERVED ALIMENTARY SUBSTANCES. It is impossible to over-estimate the importance of these preparations. The invention of the process by which animal and vegetable food are preserved in a fresh and sweet state for an indefinite period has cnly been ap plied practically daring the last twenty-du years, and is intimately conneetad with the annals of Aretie discovery. The active 111.41811 M taken to discover a north-west pump, and to prosecute acientifie research in all but inaccessible regions, first created a demand for this form of food; and the Admiralty stimulated the manatee turen to great perfection in the art. As sow as the value of these preparations became p lly admitted in cold climates, their use was estended to hot ones, and f o r the sick on b oard ship under all circumstann a. Hitherto they had only been employed as • substitute for salt beef or pork at sea, and, if eaten ashore, it was, et an; as • 1 curiosity merely. Their use in hot climates, however, l niudily became evident, especially in India. where Hero pew families are scattered, and where, consequently, on the slaughter of • large animal, more is wuted than can be consumed by a family of the ordinary number. The eon gumption of preserved meats became, at once, enormous; hundreds of tuns are annually transported to the Bast Indies and all our colaaial yossessioss, and sassy are con- awned by our fleets. ' I The cheapness of these preparations la most remarkable. This arises from the processes and materials for the eases being inexpensive, and from there being no waste of the moat: all that is acid goes into the cue, whit& is always filled. It is affirmed by the manefacturen and others, and probably with truth, that meet in this form supplies troops, and the fleet, with a cheaper animal diet than salt provi ' Wag, from avoiding the expense of casks, leakage, brine, bow, shrinking, stowage, tc., which are all heavy items, and entail great waste end expenditure; witted to this, the damage of one cask of salt meet risks the Ices of all its con tentai whilst the meat canisters are, comparatively speak tag, mperishable, and an accident to ono occasions a lose of at most but from 2 lbs. to 4 lbs. of food. Several hundred canisters of meat are ezhibited from various countries, sad in some of those by many different persons. Their merits were tested by a selection frets each : the cues were opened in the presence of thejery, and tasted by themselves, and, where advisable, by sasociates. The majority are of English manufacture, especially the more substantial viands ; France and Germany exhibiting chiefly made dishes, game, end delicacies—of meat, fish, soups, and vegetables. The jury desire to draw attention to the fact of viands of this description beieg extensively prepared in Aus tralia, Tasmania, the Cape of Good Hope, Canada, de., of equally good description with the English. Animal food is most abundant and cheap, in some of those col-- Ines. In Australia, especially, during seasons of drought, it is wasted in extraordinary quantities ; flocks are slaughtered for the tallow aloae, and herds for their bones and tido. Were the meat on them occasions preserved, it cannot be doubted that it could be imported into Eng land, and sold at a cheaper rate than fresh meat in our metropolitan markets, to the great benefit of the lower chasm. Among all the preparations exhibited by France, Eng land, &c., there is no perceptible difference either in the mode or perfection of preservation. To seal, herme tically. full tin canisters is the general principle adopted ; and it is effected by plunging them in boiling wet er , an d soldering a small onflce left purposely, by which all the air is expelled; this principle, variously modified, being the some throughout. The contents of all the eases, of whatever kind, have lost much of the freshness in taste and flavour peculiar to new-killed meat; they are always soft, and, as it were, overdone, the nutria us principles are, however, perfectly preserved. As nutriment, they are unexceptionable ; they are wholesome and agreeable, and often pleasantly flavoured. Vouchers are given for some of the samples tasted by the jurors having been preserved for twenty-five years and upwards: these were in • perfectly sound state, and did not perceptibly differ from the contents of canisters only a few months old. So long as the sealing remains sound, the viands 'prof to undergo no change. Any difference between the contents of the properly-prepared eases is to be attributed to the state of the food before preparation, or to the cooking, and not to the method em ployed foe preserving, which is simple and universally applicable. Vegetables, preserved in a similar manner, have been considered by the jury with the animal food. Generally speaking, their Savour is fresher than that of the mea t s , especially in the case of those abounding in saccharine principle, se beet, carrots, parsnips, salsify, which pre serve to advantage. The mon fennamous do not preserve so well, such as green peas, &c. ; whilst those abounding in volatile oils are hardly worth preservation at all (especially cabbages, turnips, and celery), except as anti-scorbutics. ti the J. ttr 11:14A1 wrid taboo DAM; Loca.-1 of the me The anis dasubtot Mosel th diaghto ra atm Ir.

A local Board of Health was formed seder the General Health Act of 1848.

The brims elf the day consisted in • rapid drive over the lee miles of seinteresting country through which the drainage and water piping extends, the party alighting at different points, here to inspect an engine house and well, there to look at a reservoir, and at another place to see • hen and hydrant, attached to • main, putting out an imaginary fire without a ire engine; and after these peripatetic and vehicular exer tions, then was, as is the usual climax of the tours of means, a cold collation, over which, while the elaborately prepared appetite was satisfied, there was a comparison of scientific notes and an instructive gossiping about cesspools, liquid mature, typhus cholera, and patent water-.loess. For this dinner and t hew opportunities the party was in debted to the hospitality of Mr. Parton, exercised at his mansion, Tottenham Park. The following is the " report " read at the dinner, and which may be given in its complete form, as stating all the facts in connexion with the inspection : "The General Board of Health having now completed their inspection of the works eoneructed for the drainage and water supply of the district of Tottenham, it remains for the Local Board of Health to lay before the General Board • statement of the extant, cost, and other distinguishing features of such works. The works comprehend 8 3-10 miles of sewer mains and sub-mains, and 10 miles of water mains and branches, furnished with 170 hy drants, together with two steam engines and pulps, and an upper and a lower reservoir, both covered. The whole have been executed et • east of 7,5001. The number of inhabited houses in the district is about 1,800. The charge for water supply will be regulated with a view to defray merely the current expeeen, and, probably, will not exceed 2d. per week per beam fa the average. The mode of construction is for the mesa that of glazed stone ware tubular drakes of small diameter compared to the brick drains of the old system, the Wrgest . not exceeding 18 inches, with curved Was a* obligee josninp for all the branches; laidges the plea teemed • back drainage,' and for the water thateseetrustion by which the water is wholly pro exposure to the one aad the atmosphere, and is su optima ennothratly,and at high preasure,the pipes being always full, and subject to the prewar* of the water in the summit reservoir. The benefits of this plan are :-Ist, as to drainage, that by the force of the current passing through the smooth narrow pipes all refuse matter will be swept at once away from the inhabited part of the district, long be fore the process of decomposition can have even commenced; so that the fresh air of our village will be uncontaminated by those poisonous exhalations which, upon the old plan, ' are in constant process of generation by the decomposition going en in cesspools, in drains half-filed with feculent deposits, and in the open ditches and watercourses into which such drains have their outlets. The offensive and dangerous annoyances attendant upon the periodical cleansing of such cesspools and drains and the polluted watercourses will also be obviated. Secondly, u to water supply. That the pure soft water obtained from the deep springs will be neither exposed in open reservoirs to the sun and the atmosphere, nor exposed in cisterns and water butts to the dust and other worse impurities from which, under the old system, it is found to suffer so much contamination, but will be delivered into every house (and upon every floor if required) fresh, cool, well tented, and constantly ready to flow. Further, that the expense and annoyance of pumps, cisterns, ball cocks, and water bans will be wholly got rid of ; and, lastly, that an ample supply of water will be obtainable at a low rate for baths and other useful and health ful purposes, and the supply ia ease of due, will be then t, readily a ccessible, Nadi driven by a pres sen sufficient, without the use of fire engines, to force it above the top of almost every he.. la the district, a feature of the new system whisk le local board cannot bet contemplate with posalle gethibetioa, as affording in ease of fire • degree of peatestima life and property before quit; embalms la the Menke there being hitherto no mom of sheellog is adequate supply of water for the it:leggier*, et Onq sass* is a few Nwlitios free' ponds.

There are many photographic cameras, to the improvemeat of which mach attention is at present being mM in both England and France. This leads us to the most remarkable discovery of modern times--the art of photography and before was so rich a collection of photographic pictures brought together, the products of Ragland, France, Austria, and America. Before going further, it would be well to inquire into the utility of the photographic process as regards its applies tics to art and science---and, indirectly, te literature— by affording a faithful transcript of listless* papers and original documents, upon which sebeelesee liter and historical research must necomsrily he gess*ary pendent.

Another illustration is afforded by the self-registering appara tus of Mr. Brooke (pp. 4U-426), in which nature is node to perform this operations of a corps of observers, by an application of what mast be considered a few oely of the first principles of photography. That its appliation m cawing instruments which are eon thrwn and delicate in their action, to register their own work, must be attended with advantages—is evident to every reflecting mind ; and points to some of the further advantages science is likely to derive from the ultimate per fection of the photographw processes. As applied to the preservatloa of documentary collec tions, end thus indirectly to the pummel of literature, its use is too important to be passed over is silence. Mow often has the historian, in his search after authentic papers and original documents, found them only to regret that, to posterity he must I e the chronicler of events, the vouchers for which will have perished by the unavoidable ravages of time, or, as in too many ewes, by supine neglect. To make use of the means afforded by photo- I graphy to procure facsimiles of these is a duty we owe not only to posterity, but to our forefather. Again—u applied to valuable documents of the present day, either ' testamentary or legislative, how important to secure photo graphic transcripts of these, which, being of indisputable authority, shall be also perfectly unavailable for any purpose other than that intended. Let us now tarn our attention to the collection before us, in which, for daguerreotype portraits, America stands pro minently forward ;—France, first in order of merit for ado types, or sun-pictures ;—Esigland, powering a distinct cha racter of her own, and presenting illustrations of nearly all tho processes which have as yet been adopted. America stands alone for stern development of character ; her works, with tew exceptions, reject all accessorise, present • faithful transcript of the subject, and yield to none ic excellence of execution. France, in her daguerreotypes, of which she has but few, offers bright sunny representations; their effect rather injured than improved by too great masses of 'gaslight ; but in her calotypee she stands unrivalled, and all but rejecting the processes of Daguerre, has concentrated all her energies in the further development of those of Talbot and his school. FEARFUL THUNDER STORM AND DELUGE. TWO THOUSAND SHEEP DROWNED. WOZCISTIBIL, MONDAY, SZPT. 6. This county wu visited during Saturday night sad yesterday morning by one of the most awful thunder storm within the memory of man, and this has been fol lowed by an enormous destruction of property, to an extent which might almost bear comparison with the recent de. 'traction at Honntirth. The storm was general throughout the counties of Wor cester, Gloucester, and Hereford, though its violence con centrated itself over the county of Worcester, westward of the Severn. The rain poured down almost incessantly, and occasionally in a perfect waterspout, for nearly twelve hours, the storm having commenced at 6 o'clock on Sa turday evening, and continued until daylight on Bunda7. The thunder roared during this interval without intermis sion, sad the lightning was of • peculiarly vivid character. On Saturday evening, the river Severn at Worcester was at its low summer level, but by daylight on Sunday morning the river bad overflowed its banks, and the surface was cowered with uprooted trees and crops, with furniture, and drowned and other asimals. At Worcester there sou not much damage done beyond the flooding of houses, fields, and gardens. A quantify of poetry articles belonging to Messrs. Archer and Co., which had been left upon the quay on Saturday night, had been carried away, or destroyed by the rush of waters. Upon the Tome and its tributary strums—Laugher's and Leigh brooks—the destruction of property has been most afflicting. A great majority of the bridges upon these streams have been blown up, or are so far damaged that they will require re-building. The rise of water upon the Tems was the most rapid and the highest upon record. At Powick, the lowest village on the Tense before it falls into the Severn, an island is teemed by the deviation of the stream for the purpose of supplying the corn and other mills at the place with motive power. The water rushed across the island flooding the few houses there, and rising six inches above the second floor of Mr. Hadley's grist mill. The destruction of crops and live stock along the Tense valley has been immense. Large fields of beans were swept away, and whole hopyards, in which the valley of the Teme abounds, were destroyed. The number of sheep washed away in the parish of Powick alone is reckoned at two thousand. The real extent ads* damage, however, cannot be ascertained until the waters have totally subsided. Among the losers are the poor villagers of Pocrick, who have the right of depasturage on a common near the river called Powick Ham. The whole of the sheep on the Ham were swept away. On Sunday the carcases were seen lying shout in all directions where the water bad partially sub-' sided. They were chiefly lodged in the hedges, and men were employed with boats sailing over the me adows sod picking them up. Marty of the caresses were sold at 2d. per pound. All the millers have suffered. At Renwick Mill, besides the destruction of grain and meal, eleven pigs were swept away, together with the pigsty. in which they were kept. At this spot two men were join neyiog from Worcester market, when they were over takes by the flood, and obliged to swim for their lives. Luckily they reached a tree, in which they took refuge. Here they remained in their wet clothes in the midst of the raging elements, tali' daylight on Sun day morning, when they were reused half dead with fright. The turnpike get* keeper near the same spot states that, late on Saturday night, three men in • state of in toxication passed through his gate on horseback, from Worcester market. They took the direction of the flooded brook, and the hat of one of them wee found yesterday in the stream. It is feared that many lives have been sacri ficed. A waterspout is said to have fallen on the Time at Knightwick, and a man and child drowned. At Stone BrAge, on the Leigh Brook, • cottage was swept away, and its occupant, a poor woman, drowned. A gig was over turned at Malvern, but the occupants received little injury. The horses of the coach between Worcester and Birrniag ham ran away, and the coach cams in collision with a wag goo, whereby the coachman, Hemming, wee killed, and several of tbs passengers were injured. The water came dews the Tease with • "head" similar to the tidal phe nomenon on the Severn at the spring and autumn equi noxes. The Severn was yesterday covered with deficit of the flood. Fara or PAataugarrAZT COUNSIL.—ThO public in general are aware that an act of parliament was pared daring the late cession for the removal of Smithfield Cattle Market, but few persons would imagine th- amount of the legal ezpeues incurred in obtaining that bill.

POISONING AT Site.—A young tailor, nosed Probe, was a few days sines brought to trial before the Conn of Arises of Toulon, on the charge of having at tempted to poison all the crew of the vessel to which he belengell. At the latter end of last year he took service ea load the brig the Aglat-Delphine, at Neater, and pro ceeded to Cannes. He had not been long en board before he preyed himself of • violent and quarrelsome disposi tion ; and he treated the cabin boy with groat brutality. The eaptaia interfered for the protection of the boy, and the sensed declared that If he (the captain) should punish him he would kill him. A few days later he *gala heat the boy, end when the mate took his defence he *kook his fist in his face and threatened to kill him.

Although the lives of the sailors, as also that of the captain, were saved from the excels of the quantity of poison administered, which caused copious vomiting, and thus procured the action of the remedies, medical men declared to the Court that they will always feel the effect of the poison. One of the witnesses said that there was sufficient arsenic in the soup to have killed at least sixty nier. . The jury declared the accused guilty, but with extenuating circumstances, and the court condemned his to imprisonment with hard labour for life. SPORTING. TATTERSALL'S—MONDAY. LNANoNoyos NyAND4.

AUSTRIA AND THE ENGLISH REGENT OF PARMA. —A Vienna journal of the 27th ult. says :—The English journals have lately occupied themselves very much with the Ducky of Parma, and give it to be understood that Austria had an intention to encroach on the independence of that state and on the governmental rights of the sove reign. It is scarcely necessary to refute such accusations. By her victories, Austria has raised the petty states which had been shaken by the revolution • and in the use which she hiur made of her victories, she h as remained faithful to her tsaditional principles of the sanctity of treaties and of the protection of the monarchical principle. While at Lon don the project of changing the map of Europe is nou rished, Austria, sword in hand, put in force the European treatise, and that not only for the protection of her own integrity, and for the benefit of the princely ho u s es w hi c h are allied to her, but even for the vanquished ad vent/try. I o attribute new to the Austrian government em bitteas projects of aggrandisement which it has before re jetted, even after the days of Novara and Mortara, isa very idle riesupation for the English journals. Independently of the temestic affairs of the ducal family, the English jour nab also discuss the relations of Baron Ward, the first mi nister with his sovereign. Sometimes he is represented in his quality of an Englishman as an instrument of British policy in Italy, and at others as a docile organ of the Ans. trian cabinet. We think that be is neither one nor the other, and that Baron Ward does not understand his high mission in the Duchy of Puma either as an Englishman or as an Austrian. We consider him rather es a faithful ser vant of his prince, to whom he gives wholesome counsels, in which he has only the interest of the prince and of the country in view. The greatservices which be has rendered in times of difficulty suMeiently explain the confidence and credit which he enjoys, without it being necessary to seek the explanation of them in foreign influence. A 11 OTAL DINNER.—Queen Christina celebrated the concession of the railroad which is to connect France and Spain by giving a dinner in the French style at 040 n oa the 2.3 th ult. Pursuant to instructions M. Cheyet, an eminent cook of Paris, left the capital for Nazaire with 22 cooks end assistants in his own carriage, and having be sides two vans filled with provisions, Ate., for the dinner. There were 63 packages, consisting of meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, fnut, wines .Ic., and the whole, including plate, &e., weighed 11,5 00 kilogrammes. Among the Bak were scarp of the Rhine weighing 37 English pounds, sad a silurus or sheat.fish of the 'Danube, weighing 301 be. This carp is said to have been the largest ever taken in the Rhine ; that which was served to Charles X. on his visit to Strasburg, and which the journals noticed at the time, weighed only 3315 a. At St. Nazaire he found a Spanish steamer waiting to convey him, with his assistants And pre • dons freight, to their desunation. A PAIIIB CABMAN went, on Tuesday but, to a im-changer in the Psleis Royal, and offered for sale a certain amount of Spanish stock. Having conceived soma suspicions, the changer asked how it came into his proses gen. The man could give no satisfactory account of it, and he was taken before a commissary of police. The questions of that functionary caused him great embarrassment, and at length he confessed that it was part of a sum of 150,000 franca in Spanish rent* which he had found some time before in his cab, and had appropriated. He also admitted that he bad ahead; sold part of the stock, and had been living a life of laziness and luxury on the proceeds. He was sent to the Prefecture of Police. The owner of the rent, who forgot it in the man's cab has not yet been dis covered. ADULTERATION OF VINEOAR.—The Lowed gives the following result of the analysis of 28 samples, purport ing to be from the vinegars of the different manufacturers and merchants by whom London and its suburbs are sup plied, as procured from various grocers, &c., via.: Four of the samples were entirely free from sulphuric acid, or oil of vitriol. Twenty-four were adulterated with that powerful and corrosive senora acid, the amount of which was vari able, and often very considerable ; from 63, the lowest, to 6 02, the highest quantity in 1,000 grains. Two of the samples contained it in very small quantity only. In three oampies it was present in considerable amount. Twelve cabs aid it in very considerable amount. In seven samples it was preeent la immense quantity. The scene acid aloe varied egg tionsiderably in amount in different samples, the highest proportion being, in 1,000 grains by measure, 35.66 grebe, or 616 per tent., and the lowest, 2763, or only 2.76 per teat. In eight samples the acetic acid was present in emennt over 6 per cent., which is above the standard strength. In twelve samples tke quantity exceeded 4 per cent. In seren it was over 3 per cent. In one the quan tity of acetic acid present was so exceedingly small as to be under 3 per cent. That is, but little more than half the proper strength. FIRE ON BOARD THE CANADA STRAIIILL— OR the last outward voyage of the Canada between Liverpool and New York, the vessel narrowly escaped destruction by Are. After leaving Liverpool it was found that one of the was insane, and had to be put under restraint. Vi: e ;rre rs on appointed to watch him having left the cabin of the madman for • short time, it was immediately discevered to be in flames, end it was only by means of the most strenuous exertions that the fire was extinguished. The intelligence was brought in a letter sent home by the tart American mail steamer, which passed the Canada before she arrived at Halifax. This accounts for the news not having reached England through the medium of the American papers. - - NAMES OF PLACES (vol. v., pp. 196, 378, Ike.).— At the end of " A Guide to Wobu rn Abbey," London Biro 18.50, is a table of the "various ways of spelling Wobura : collected from letters and paresis by the postmaster." It seems almost incredible, but yet it is the fact, that no leas than two hundred and forty-four different modes of spelling, or rather misspelline, the simple word Woburn, are there recorded. It is worth noting that this place is always called Wooburn. The following are a few of the ingenious struggles of the unlearned in their endeavours to commit to paper the name of this delightful spot :—Houboun, Hot bourn, Ooburn, Woabhern, WBun, Iloarbon, lloobea, Üborn, Wubawrn, Whoohowen, Houbone, Noburn, Whrbourn ' Wolarn, Wouboareoe, Hawburn, Owburn, Woubon, Woswrin Wwoo Burn.
