The list of mubjects now put forth, in all 135 (exclusive of the Swiney Prizes of 200/. f, demon ideates to a considerable extent the objects which the e have most at heart to promote, and the int portance of which increases with the increasing commerce of the country. In the journal of the society several important communications have lately appeared relative to the raw produce of India, New Zealand, anti the Cape of Good Hope ; anti the pre sent list contains several premiums which have direct reference to those countries. lint in the class Of raw produce the council ask for eommunications on " the existing means of crushing anti dressing herd rocks containing metalliferous ores ; an account of the ma nufacture of tin, anti of reeent discoveries of new sources of supply." There are also premiums offered for the importation of dried fruits, such as the plan tain and banana, from the British possessions ; of wines, dried fruits, anti olive oil, front Australia, small and good samples of which have already been received by the society. For the manufacture of oil and other substances from the refuse cotton seed. For improvements in the dyes of woollen cloths, whereby the colours may be rendered twortanent until capable of resisting the action of acids ; anti for an essay on the flax plants of India, the purposes to which they are at present applied, anti the best means of utilising and employing the refuse. At a time when so much attention is being devoted to the calvary+ of flax it appears somewhat surprising that so small a portion of the immense emits of this grown in India are made available fey e taameree, blue being done beyond the export to this country of the linseed obtained therefrom, the fibre being allowed to rot on the ground. There are several premiums having reference to the manufaentre of paper, and this section of the list is closed with the following in teresting and novel subject :—Four the best rteemmt of the mode in which sire from seaweed is pre. pared and used by the Chinese. The next divi sions in the list are tie iSe 4' maeltinery, mamifiletures, including textile, metallie, vitreous, eerimie, anti miscellaneous, and the fine arts ; front which it ap pears that the council are still following out the sub division adopted at the Great Exhibition. A Nest:leers MEErtxtt of the seitottifie and literary gentlemen of liverril, enlivened by the Illtlynt% was held on Saturday m the Contwil.ehamber, for the purpose of devising the means of giving a suitable reception to the British Association.
