By Sir WILLIAM HILLARY ) Bait. Second Edit. Bvo. The title of this appeal sufficiently explains the aim of the benevolent anthor. The Institution proposed to be formed should be "equally worthy of Great Britain, important to humanity, and beneficial to the naval and commercial interests of the United Empire, having for its objects, "First, The preservation of hu mau life from shipwreck ; which should always be considered as the first great and permanent object of the Institution. "Secondly, Assistance to vessels in distress, which often immediately connects - itself with the safety of the crews. " Thirdly, The preservation. of ves-els and property, when not so immediately connected with the lives of the people, or after the crews and passengers shall al ready have been rescued. " Foaithly, The prevention of plunder and depreda tions in case of shipwreck. " Wady, The succour and support of there persons ho may be rescued; the promptly obtaining medical aid, food, clothing, and shelter, for those whose desti tute situation may require such relief, with the means to forward them to their homes, friends, or countries. The people and vessels ofevery nation, whether is peace or war, to be equally objects of this Institution; and the efforts to be made, and the recompenses to be given fur their rescue, to he in all cases the same as for British subjects and British vessels " Sixthly, The bestowing of suitable rewards on those who rescue the lives of others from shipwreck, or who assist vessels in distress; and the establishment of a pro vi don for the destitute widows or families of the brave men who unhappily lose their lives in such meritorious attempts. The subject treated of in this appeal is highly deserv ing of the considerate attention of the friends of !roma rity, and has found an able advocate in Sir Wm. Hillary. I'eler Seldemihl ; from the German of Lamotte Fouque, with Plates, by GEO. CRUIKSHANK. 121110. pp. 174. his is a strange romance of a man whose miseries in .1 le consisted in his having bartered away his shadow for Fortimatus's wishing cap, and an inexhaustible purse. The story is of the true German school, and is told with great naivety. The plates are in the best style ut that great humorist, George Cruikshank. LITERARY DISCOVERY. The following brief notice of a circumstance highly interesting to the world of literature ha. just been com - municated to us. A Latin manuscript, undoubtedly by Milton, long supposed to.be irrecoverably lost, has just been discovered at the State Paper Office. The subject is religious, and the arguments are all drawn from the Scriptures. There are many Hebrew quota tions, and the woe k is one of considerable bulk, as it contains 7:3 pages, many of them closely written, and believed tote in the hand-writing of the poet's nephew, Poillips, with many interline:l6°ns in a different hand, It was found in an envelope addressed to Cyt iac Skinner, merchant. The sit iation which Milton held, of Latin Sect etacy to Cr omwell, will account ter such a disco:vet y being made in the State Paper Office., Nr..Todsi and other savant (among them our informant), have seen it; and in this case seeing is believing.—Lit. Gaz. SCALE OF THE FORCE OF RUNNING STREAMS. Water flowing at the rate of forty-five inches per second, will drive before it flint stones the size of an egg.

On a recent visit to Pompeii, by the Duke and Du• chess of Devonshire, Lord Grey, and Captain Clifford and his Lady, some rare and beautiful nistiqUes were discovered, which the king of Naples has gratuitously presented to the Duke, These splendid monuments of l i a pure age are to be added to the noble collection at Chatsw NORTH CAROLINA Gott). A Gentleman in Raleigh, United States, has in his possession a limp of the pure ore found in Anson, weight about lib. and worth 340 dollars. Another Gentleman, well informed on the subject, states that larger pieces than this had been found in the above counties, and that there was at present in the Branch of the State Bank at Sidisbury, jr bar of this gold, which, after being purified, was worth between five and 600 dollars. These large pieces of gold are met with occasionally, though what is collected by the persons who are engaged in the search, is mostly in small par ticles, which do not much more than compensate them for their labour. INSTANTANEOUS LIGHT. Our Readers have been informed of Professor Die bereiner's discovery, that a jet of hydrogen gas when thrown upon protoxide of platinum, takes fire at the same time that the platinum is ignited. The platinum for this purpose is prepared by solution in nitro-muriatic acid and precipitation by muriate of ammonia, and then exposing the precipitate in a crucible to a strong heat. On directing a pipe affixed to a bladder containing hy drogen gas in such a manner that a fine stream of the gas may be directed upon the spongy mass of platinum, a brilliant flame is instantly produced, which continues as long as the stream of gas is supplied. This apparatus is the most simple and elegant mode of obtaining a sudden light that has yet been discovered. I. may be so wronged, that, upon pulling a string, light will instantly appear, which will be extinguished whenever the string is let go. It appears, from some late experiments of Mr. Gar den, that spongy platinum is not the only body which Possesses the pi operty of igniting hydrogen gas. Iridium, in particular, after being heated to redness, and suffered to cool, becomes iedhot by a stream of cold hydrogen, in the manner of spongy platina, and appears to retain the property of so doing equally well. The circumstance of these bodies becoming heated to a red, or even white heat, by simple contact, naturally suggested the idea of employing them for the instanta neous production of file and light; but in order that this might he done w ith o tolerable certainty , so as to be really useful, it became necessary that the effect should take place even in cold weather. To ascertain this point, 'AT. Garden made the following experiments. A quart bottle of hydrogen gas was placed in an ;~; ~ , . eatthenware wine-cooler, and the space between the' sides of the bottle and the cooler was filled up with ice, broken into small fragments ; a small piece of spongy platina was exposed upon a slip of foil of the same me tal, and laid upon the surface of the ice. In this state the whole was left for about three-quarters of the hour; at the end of this time the temperature of the platina coil was found to be 33 degrees, and it was, as well as the spongy metal, covered with a considerable film of moisture. _ A jet of gas was now made to pass from the bottle, through a very fine pipe, upon the spongy platina ; the moisture immediately began to disappear, and the metal quickly became heated to whiteness, at which time it kindled fhe hydrogen gas, as it issued from the orifice of the pipe. Mr. Garden has constructed several lamps upon this very simple principle, and, from the certainty which has hitherto been observed, there is teason to believe that they will answer the purpose most completely. 'When he has sati,fied himself as to the most convenient form, he intends to publish a sketch of it, and also the re sult► of a few more experiments upon the subject. LIGHT AND LIGHT-HOUSES. Translated ►rom the Annual Report of the Progress of Sciences . by the French Academy of Science (late In stitute) fir the last lear (1823). • • Light is transmitted with an immense velocity through all parts of the universe. It travels, with a uniform motion, about 210.000 miles in a second, ht comes te flected from the sutlace of bodies, and partially pene trates those which are transparent. When decomposed it sepal ates into coloured homogeneous rays, ref angible, , but unequally so. When a ray of light passes throngh certain crystals, it divides into two tustinct parts; it is this which constitutes double refraction. Each of the two refracted rays acquires, in the interior of the crystal- lized medium, a peculiar disposition, which has been designated by the name of polarization, and which keeps up a singular but constant relation with the situ a tion of the elements of crystals. A practical illustration of some of the properties tit light appears in the establishment of dioptric light houses. In these, the light is not reflected, but trans• mitted through glass lenses, which render the ra) s pa , rallel. The flame is placed in the cenuc of eight simi lar lenses, and the whole turns on an axis, so that all the points of the horizon are illuminated. To render the flame uncommonly ardent, Messrs. Arago and Fres , nel have invented a lamp with concentric fires, the light of which is equivalent to that of 150 wax candles. — From late trials, it appears that even in dusky weather these lights may be seen at the distance of more than eight leagues. Such is their lustre, that even before the close of day they may serve as signals in geodesic operations, and have been employed as such by Messrs Arago and Mathieu, and by Messrs. Kater and Colby, of the Royal Society of London. A telescope will discover these signals at more than sixteen leagues distance, an hour before sunset ; and an hour after sunset, the naked eye will distinguish them at the same distance.—.-Mechanic's Mag. CAST-IRON CHURCH. - St. George's Church, Liverpool, is an object of consi derable architectural interest for its taste, and as having been neatly the first cast-iron church erected in the kingdom. The whale of the frame-work of the win dows, doors, pillars, groins, roofs, pulpit, and ornamen tal enrichments, ate of cast-i:on. The length is 119 feet the breadth 4.7. It is ornamented by a splendid cast window of stained glass. The tower, raised to the height of 96 feet, and standing on a hill, the site of an ancient sea-beacon, is elevated 34.5 feet above high water-mat k, and commands one of the finest views of the kingdom, comprehending the town and shipping of Liverpool, t he estuary• of the Mersey, the level sur face of Lancashire, as far as the eye can trace the pi n spect, with die craggy hills of \Vales towards the west, and towards the north-east the distant mountains ot Cumberland aad We:tworland.—lbid. ALPHABETICAL Ctrntost•rtes.—ln the Nine Monthly Magazine, the scholiasts upon that ode of Anacreon which describes Cupid's being stung by a bee, state him to have been at that moment learning his letters ; and that, in perpetual remembrance of the pain inflicted by his winged asailant, he decreed that the alphabet should ever afterwards commence with A B. The precedence of B to C has been explained upon the principles that a man must be befo:c he can see. But for the ingenuity of recent investigators, we should never have known that the letter S was of most essential service at the siege of Gibraltar, by making hot shot ; that the letter N is like a little pig, because N makes a sty, nasty ; that the letters U and V can never go out to dinner, because they must always come after T; that the letters co, a, s, T, are like toast without tea (1.) ; and that a barber may be said to fetter the alphabet because he ties up q q (queues), and puts two p's (toupees) in irons ! These most important additions to our philological science ate a happy foretaste of what may be accom plished by a chartered company, expressly instituted for the encouragement of letters." Friday se'nnight, a melancholy accident occurred on the banks of the Forth and Clyde Canal. While Cap tain Reid, of the sloop Lord Bruce, of Lime-kilns, was getting his vessel out of NVyn.tham-lock, at the moment the horses straightened the lin; Mr. Reid unfortunately came in contact with it, and was thrown up several feet, and, lighting on his head, hi, skull was so severely t►nc tured, that lie lingered in great pain till Saturday, at five o'clock in the m o rning, when lie expired. A person in the town of Maidstone has a lobster three feet three inches long, with the claws extended. It has been brought from Hudson's River, Noah America.— ' The same person has also two violet crabs, brought from the Caribbec Islands, the singular habits of which are detailed by Goldsmith and other naturalists. Wednesday, as some men were digging stones in a field in the parish of Cumnor, near Oxford, they disco vered a, human skeleton, about five feet ten inches in height, lying on its face, only a foot below the'surface of the earth. Close to it was the blade of a case-knife, corroded with rust, and apparently of the manufacture of fifty or sixty years ago. From the position of the skeleton, the head having been forced forward that the hole might contain the body, and from the knife being with it, we may naturally conjecture that the unfortu nate person was murdered. Friday se'nnight, a fire broke- out in a stable belong ing to Mr. Charles Saunders, of East Donyland, near Colchester, which was burnt to the ground, and a valu able horse destroyed. 4 fire took place in October last, in the Illinois Pri mes, United Stiles, which burnt some days, destroy ing the grass, Com, and other produce Ihich remiined in the fields. MR. SOANF.'S DINNER. Saturday a dinner was given at the Freemasons Ta vern by-the veteran Architect, Mr. SOANE, who for up wards of half a century has been the pride and ornament of this branch of the Fine Arts. The dinner was in com memoration of the completion of the new works at the House of Lords, and the party invited consisted of the artists and tradesmen who had been principally engaged under .the direction of Mr. SOANE, in carrying his plans into execution. Several scientific friends of Mr. SOANE and many literary Gentlemen connected with the pe riodical Press, were also present. The Chair was filled by JOHN BRIT rox, Esq. F.S.A. in the absence of Mr. SoANE, who had been unexpectedly summoned to at tend his MAJESTY at Brighton. After the health of his MAJESTY, the Royal Family, the Duke of SUSSEX, &c. had been drank, the Chairman, in an eloquent speech, proposed the health of Mr. SOANE, which was drank with grat enthusiasm. The next toast was prosperity to the Mechanics' Institute, which called forth a most eloquent reply from Dr. Br RIC BECK. Mr. GRAHAM proposed the health of the. Chairman, and dwelt in terms of appropriate and just comendation on the services he had rendered to the Arts, particularly in rescuing the architectural antiquities of the country from the dust and oblivion in which for ages they had been enveloped. Several other appropriate toasts were drank, and the meeting, which was an in tellectual one, did not break up until a late hour. The dinner consisted of every delicacy, including great pro fusion of turtle, which, though out of season, had been preserved by a culinary process, that fotmsone of the most recent discoveries of the age. The wines were excellent. POLICE INTELLIGENC'E. BOW-STREET. Jiseph and William Manson, the two brothers, artiits, charged on Wednesday last with having been concerned, with another bro ther, in stealing: upwards of £lOOO worth of jewels, &c. from the house of T. P. Macqueen, Esq. M.P. were again placed at the bar, together with their brother Jones, who voluntarily gave himself up on Friday evening, and the following evidence ssas given against Ehem:—ll. Pritchard, shopman to Messrs. Nate, pawnbrokers, of Duke -street, Manchester-square, produced tsttelve line shifts which were pledged at their shop on the 19th and Witt of December last, by Mary Thomson, which Ann Smith, Mrs. Mactpteen's femme de chambre, swore were the property of her mistress, attd sere missed from a wardrobe in a room iu which the prisoners Were at work, am! which Mary, sister to the prisoners, swore, were brought to her by Joseph, who requested her to pawn them. Another pawnbroker produced a large quantity of coats, trowsers, waistcoats, silk handkerchiefs, &c. pledged with hint by the prisoner .lames, on Thursday and Friday last; but none of them were iden tified as the property of the prosecutor. Among the property stolen was: a I lighland dirk, with a Cairngorm hilt ; and it was deposed at the last examination, that the prisoner %%Wm hid pledged, and afterwards redeemed, a similar dirk at the shop of Mr. Har rison, in Wardour-street. Mr. Macqueen now produced a tartan doublet,. vith Cairngorum buttons, to match the stolen dirk, and Mr. Harrison's nephew deposed, that to the best of his recollection, they matched exactly with the dirk pledged by William. Williant said the dirk he had pledged was his own, hut he could not produce It, because be had since sold it to a Jew whom he did not know. James said there was no evidence to affect him, 'and he trusted he should be set at liberty. " And what have you to say about the shifts that have been traced to you ?" said the Magistrate to Jo seph. To which he replied (laughing), " the less said the sootier mended." 'hey were all three committed for further examination on Saturday next. QUERN-SQL:A Custence Augusta llarnet was charged with getting a piece of :fish linen and some silk handkerchief:, under a false pretence, from .11r. Siincock, a linen-draper in Bridge-street, I.lmbeth. This wo man commenced dealing with the " Tiny-matt, - Air. Simcock, ih September last, and up to the 10th initanr. Site obtained goods in that manner to the amount of poi. and at length site got the goods in question from the xbopman on pretence of shewing them to a person, upon condition, if they suited, to bring back the money, if not the goods ; instead of which she pledged thent.—The Magistrate held that it was merely a debt, and discharged the prisoner ; ob serving, that the tally business was a mode of forcing trade most discreditable to shopkeepers. SPORTING INI'EL L IGE X CP.. CRIMINAL OIFENCES. happens by a List of the Commitments, Trials, an.' Convictions, for London and Middlesex, that out of the whole number of prisoners committed by the County Magistrates. above 42 per cent. %%ere acquitted or dis charged.—The relative proportion of acquitted or dis. charged was smaller out of the committals by the Ma gistrates of the City of London ; but still this proportion amounted to more than one person in four, viz. about 27 per cent. Of the whole of the prisoners committed to Newpte, nearly the half were released at the end of tie Session s , It seems, therefore, that either the Magi•trates frc quently commit prisoners on evidence ina equate t./ procure a conviction; or else that the means el en. forcing the attendance of prosecutors and wi messes we not competent to the purposes of justice. In either case d it would certainly be desirable that some measures should be adopted to lighten the expense to the Public: and with regard to the prisoners, that the innow.t should he protected, and the guilty more effectually broaght to justice. It is in the details of practice, and not in the general principles of law, that our judicial system appears capable of essential improvement. BOX Ell S. Spring has given the following answer to the letter of Langan:— " At first 1 intended to have let Mr. Langan's letter pass unnoticed ; but I am advised that silence would be an admission of some part of it c intents. lie commences with titating, th;;! in the last hour of the fight, the ring was nearly filled with perons who treated him in a manner disgraceful to an English ring.' For my own part, I regret the accident which threw an immense mass of spectators within the ring, which was equally or more injurious to me than to Langan, as I prefer room to fight ; and from the piessure of the people, not withstanding the exertions of the umpires, we were often confined within the compass of a saw-pit. As to the assertion of my parti sans having used violence to Langan, his letter was the first word 1 heard upon the subject. Langan states that he felt kicks, Ikc. I cannot find any that heard 'him complain at the time on that sub ject, or who saw any foul act. Those Langan would term my par ' tisans were endeavouring to assist in keeping out the rinpand would have disdained an unmanly act. Langan adds, that he could have fought half an hour longer • he had as much the best of it as I had ; for if he was most punished about the head, I was worn: in the body.' I can only add, that my hurts on the body are phantoms of Mr. Langan's brain, like the ' kicks,' as I left the ring, unconscious from that time to this of ever having telt the slightest sensation from any body hit. Langan cannot forget that some of his acts were contrary to the rides and etiquette of the Prize Ring; and, on the contrary, that my conduct was manly toward him in more than one instance in the hghr, when I could have punished him, but de. dined d ' g so. His seconds gave in, not until he could not come to time, as the umpires ate the best judges ot.—l ant, Sir, your very humble servant, 4, THOMAS SPRING." WALKING AGAINST TIME. Saturday se'nnight, an elderly Gentleman of Wingham, backed hini‘elf again time, for a considerable wager, to walk from Wing ham church to the gates of the Canterbury I lopistal, a distance of six mile;, which he completed in the space of one hour and 17 min. winning the wager by a few seconds only. It is said, that the man Jones, on whom Sir ASTLEY COOPER performed the operation on Friday se'nnight, of taking off the thigh-bone at the hip joint, is in a rapid state of recovery, and that the greate,t hopes exist of his being finally restored to health, the wound gra nulating very fast, and the adhesions of the upper parts being perfect. At the High Court of Justiciary, Edinburgh, on the 19th inst. Margaret Boag was arraigned on the charges of having murdered an old woman named Elizabeth Low, or Al.Laren, at Dunning, Perthshire, in the month of February, 1818 ; or of theft and reset of theft, in steal ing from the house of the deceased a quantity of linen in webs and sheeting, and various other articles, the property of the late Elizabeth Low, and having the same unlawfully in her possession.—After a long trial, the Jury returned a verdict of murder non proven, but guilty of theft.—Lord PITNILLY said he could have no doubt as to the sentence which should be pronounced.! She had been acquitted of the murder, and consequently of all accession to it; but no one could doubt that the theft was of the most dreadful nature, aggravated by being perpetrated after as fail and atrocious a murder, as ever was known, and committed in the abode of a mur dered woman, whose corpse still lay upon the ground. It amounted almost to a capital offence, and the Court would ill discharge their duty to pass a milder sentence than transportatign for life. WATERI.OO.—The Government of the Nellie!landi is about to erect a magnificent monument on the plains of Waterier), in commemoration of the great t ic tory obtained there by the Allied Army, under the con - mand of the Dake of WELLINGTON, in 1815. The cost will he between eleven and 12,000/. sterling. A colossal lion of ca,t metal will weigh upwards of ItYJ,ooolbs. 'A Gentleman of Southampton, who is just arrived from Newfoundland, in the brig Brothers, of Port de Grave, Newfoundland, bound to Dartmouth, has fur nished us with the farming information : AN :tenacious Wilai.e.—On the Bth of December, 184.3, when about a hundred miles from the coast of Newfoundland, at three P.m. the men on the deck observed a large whale near the vessel, who presently attracted the attention of all persons on board, and who very soon gave us some cause for alarm as well as admiration, for he passed directly under the after part of the ship, rubbing the bottom 23 he west with such force as to shake the vessel, and to be heard very distinctly in the cabin. Shortly after his cooling, ull a passing under the vessel, as he rose up close to her quarter, he re sented a most monstrous and terrific appearance, which we were at first unable to account for, not knowing whether it was the same fish, or another huge monster of the deep, (71 which we had neither seen nor heard any. description ; however, tits further observation, We discovered that the whale was on his side, with his two white. fins (each about ten or twelve feet long, and partially covered with barnacles), stretched out, and reaching within a yard of the vessel, and raised above the surface of the water several feet; while half his tail was elevated to the height of six or 'even feet. We-were ap prehensive lie was about to strike the vessel with his tail and fins, but were relieved by his quietly turning a g ain on his belly. lie con tinued about the vessel closely for six hours, passing and repassing under the utter part of her bottom, and sometimes rubbing very hard; his boldness surpassed everything of the kind we bad ever heard. of, for he frequently came so close to the vessel, and raised his head out of the water so high, that a man in the chains might have touched it with his hands; indeed, on one occasion, he rubbed the quarter-piece of the vessel with his nose, and when he blew the water from his nostrils (with. a noise like the roaring of a bull), it sometimes fell like small rain upon us as we stood on the quarter deck. lle occasionally swain astern of the vessel, with !US DON close to the rudder, and seemed very desirous of seizing one of fin , quarters of beef which hung over the stern ; lie raised his head about three feet above the water, and afforded us an opportunity of plainly seeing his eyes and upper jaws- At length, about nine o'clock at night he disappeared, leaving us very well satisfied with a disconti nuance of his very particular attentions. The weather was mode rate, and the vessel going only about two miles and a half pee hour during the time of the whale. stay alongside of her. BIRTH. At Gillingham, the wife of Lieut. G.

His strong natural talents were improved by a liberal education, and a steady course of accurate observation, and saga cious reflection. He had a sound judgment, and a happy facility in conveying the treasures of his own mind, richly stored with p oem' information, to the minds of others. Like many who are en dowed with great abilities, he was void of jealousy and ambition, and few occasions occurred which could arouse the energy of mind which he naturally possessed.—He was artless and unsuspecting, —upright, manly, and honourable, disdaining all sinister and con tracted views, while the benignity and sincerity of his heart in spired atrection and confidence. In his domestic circle be was a dutiful son, a kind and affectionate brother, and an indulgent master. —Mild and unassuming ir. his manners, he was affable, commie nicative, and social.
