The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the Society, and other means, since its formation, is 12,690; for which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and £16,000 in cash have been paid in rewards.

THE CAUSES of PREMATURE DECAY.-- Authors of eminence have aacribed the decline oflthe RrJman empire to the effeminacy of manners, which precluded resistance ; and this effeminacy they trace chiefly to vicious habits acquired in early lif e , by which, in our own time, an influential journalist has endeavoured to account for the de cline of population in the Asiatic provinces of Turkey. The peculiar source of physical and moral degeneracy al luded to has at all times been specially deprecated by philo sophers and philanthropists. It besets inexperienced youth, laying the foundation of future misery, poisoning the nuptial cup with bitter malignity; destroying health, curtailing life, and making it, during- its brief career, a scene of anguish, from the consciousness of humiliating infirmity. The eVil is but too rife in our age and country ; and expe rience can often discern the sad results in the early deaths, the hereditary and perpetuated ailments, and the matri monial discords and sandals, described, in convential par lance, as " unaccountable " and "mysterious." In cases of threatened injury to or suspension of faculties whose sound ness and vigour form su h a prominent constituent in human happiness, sufferers may have their fears removed, the mis chief, however severe and inveterate, eradicated, and their a d t for ise 0 2 n O years .s e l f - u p the re _ warmest hopes of rest?ration to life's prerogatives fully realised. engaged s r at ib gre u e tes of Manhood are . t s r e e D rv a r t a in t L i e o n k n t7o , advanced period of life. tained in health and vigour to an I d E e tß s h c eT ri b e I : dr. : Ds :L (l hase a r sl been andt h e 'ed envelope 20 stamps, by Mann, lost or suspended, and how they can be restored and main.

Instructions have been received at Chatham dock yard to forward from that establishment a number of 41-inch wrought-iron plates, together with the necessary frames and other fitments, to be used in the construction of the target for the experiments with the 120-pounder Whitworth gun. The plates are to be of the same description as those used in the construction of the W arrior, and will be selected from the number not required for that vessel. A selection of the armour-plates was made at Chatham Dockyard yesterday, from which they will be shipped during the present week and forwarded to Shoeburyness, where the target wall be erected by a number of the artisans despatched from Sheerness Dockyard for that purpose. Messrs. R. Napier and Sons, o Govan, on the Clyde, have just contracted to bui a cupola war vessel for the Danish Governmen Messrs. Na pier are now engaged in fittin the recently launched war ram Hector with hor ontal engines of 800-horse power. The Hector is 'lying for the purpose at Lancefield Quay. The resources of Portsmouth Dockyard are now chiefly concentrated on the repairs and refit of the Channel fleet, the outfit of the Sutlej, screw frigate, commissioned by Capt. Connolly for service in the Pacific, the fitting and repairs of the machinery of vessels in the steam reserves, and the conversion of the Royal Sovereign shield ship and the Royal Alfred iron-plated frigate. The Royal Sovereign has still about a score of men at work on her, who manage to employ their time without making too great progress, but irrespective of this unaccount able delay in the shipwrights' department the ship is certainly ready to receive her side armour. There is no possibility, however, of the armour being ready for the ship for some time. Plates in heaps are lying about the yard in nooks and corners, but these have yet to be drilled, bent to the required form, and annealed. The building to contain the hydraulic presses and other machinery for pre paring the plates is not yet erected. Neither, of course, is any part the machinery. The building is in process of construction by the contractors, and the frames for the travelling cranes to transport the plates have been erected at the bows of the Royal Alfred, but this is the extent of the preparations for plating the two ships; meanwhile the Royal Sovereign waits for her plates, and the Royal Alfred will soon be in a like predicament. The last-named ship has now 200 shipwrights employed upon her. Her main and lower decks are down, hatchways on both nearly completed, and fitting with gratings, &c., and 22 out of the 52 iron beams (manufactured at the Butterly Works), which support her upper deck, are in position. Part of them are riveted in their places. The completion of this deck is, how ever, much delayed by the non-delivery from the Butterly Works of the shore beams and carlings. Camp forges are in nse about the ship's main deck, and shipwrights may be seen busily employed rivet ing, drilling, and at other smith's work. The ship, when complete, notwithstanding her ugly exterior, will show a fine battery of guns on her main deck, and will also have an unusually roomy deck below for the messing and berthing of her crew. Under neath her armour plates she is fastened with iron bolts, but underneath her metal sheathing she is fastened in the ordinary manlier with copper bolts. The bolts which will carry her armour plates are being galvanized in the steam factory, where bat teries and tanks have been erected for the purpose. At present no arrangements have been made for the ship's ventilation below, a fault common to all our iron-cased and iron ships, the armour of which pre cludes the use of the ordinary side scuttle or port. According to present appearances, the Royal Alfred will not be afloat, as was intended, in the present year 1862. In the three building sheds adjacent stand the frames of the Dryad, 51-gun frigate, Har lequin, 17-gun corvette, screws, and the Helicon, paddlewheel despatch vess e l. The only persons employed on them are shipwrights, who are at work under the sheds cutting the iron beams to the moulds for the Royal Alfred. In No. 1 dock the Powerful, sailing 80-gun ship, once commanded by Sir Charles Napier in his Syrian campaign, a fine old ship built at Chatham after the French Canopus, and of 2,296 tons, is having her copper stripped off, to be Fre pared as a target ship, which seems to be a wilful waste of what must represent a large money value. In N 0.2 dock the Sharpshooter, iron screw gunvessel, of 503 tons, built at Blackwall from designs by Fincham, in 1847, is lying awaiting final orders as to her fitment with Capt. Warren's bow rudder for experimental trials. In No. 3is converting the Royal Sovereign. No. 4 is being deepened to re ceive larger class vessels than it has done hitherto. No. 5 contains the Esk, a wooden 20-gun corvette of 1,153 tons, built at Millwall in 1854, half repaired and still half rotten ; but work upon her at present is all but suspended, owing to the pressure in other quarters. In No. 7 dock the Simoom screw troop ship,-of 2,000 tons, built by Napier of Glasgow in 1849, is receiving her preservative composition, or varnish,'on her bottom, and will then be consigned to the not inexpensive Limbo of the third class re serve, despite her well known carrying powers and sea-going qualities. In No. 7, the Enchantress, one of the new paddle-wheel despatch vessels of the Psyche class, is having her launching removed, preparatory ways preparatory to receiving her copper. Her engines are being fitted on board by Messrs. Penn and Son. In No. 9 the Sirius, old target ship, is just com pleting breaking up, and in No. 10 dock the Re venge, screw line of battle ship, Capt. C. Fellowes, the flagship of Rear-Admiral R. Smart, K.H., com mander-in-chief of the Channel fleet, is repairing damage to her keel, caulking, and generally refitting for sea. The Defence has been in dock, and is now completing her outfit afloat. The Sutlej, screw frigate, Capt. M. Connolly, is fitting out for the Pacific alongside the dockyard, ordered to be ready by the 14th inst. ; and the Falcon, 17, screw, Com mander Heneage, is also alongside, stripping and clearing out to pay off. In the steam basin the Rosamond paddle-steamer is fitting for a floating steam factory ; two gunboats, the Earnest and the Fervent, have been fitted with condensers, and are rigged, armed, and ready for the pendant; and other vessels waiting overhaul and repairs. At Spithead the St. George, screw liner, Capt. the Hen. F. Egerton, Resistance, 16, iron ram, Capt, Chamber lain ; Emerald, 36, screw,Capt. A. Cumming; Galatea, 26, screw, Capt. R.

A field parade of the Scots Greys took place in the Queen's Park, Holyrood, on Tuesday. It had been ordered by Col. Griffiths out of compliment to General Liprandi, who is at present on a visit to Scotland. This splendidly mounted and appointed corps were put through a variety of manoeuvres, and elicited warm expressions of admiration from the eminent Russian commander. Yesterday a detachment of 105 non-commissioned officers and gunners of the Royal Artillery, under the command of Lieut. T. M. Hazlerigg, and in medical charge of Assist.-Surg. D. F. de Hodgson, M.D., arrived at Sheerness from Woolwich, and joined the first division of the Depot Brigade. The detachment consisted exclusively of old soldiers recently returned from service in Canada, and they will be distributed among the five batteries compos ing the brigade. A battery of 11 32-pounder wrought-iron guns, each of 58 cwt., was yesterday mounted on the de fences at the entrance to the Medway, replacing a similar number of 32-pounders which had been condemned by Capt. Dyer, R.A., Assist.-Inspector of Artillery. The winter lectures at the Royal Engineer estab lishment, Chatham, commenced yesterday, when the first of the series was delivered by Capt. H. Schaw, R.E., on " Electricity in Military Opera tions." The lectures will be delivered at frequent intervals, weekly, through the winter, the names of,:the lecturers including Professor Abel, F.R.S., Professor Pole, F.R.S,, Sir W. Dennison, Mr. Fergusson, F.R.S., and the staff of instructors at the Royal Engineer establishment. Maj.-Gen. Sir Richard Decree, commanding at Woolwich, yesterday assembled on parade the Horse Brigade, the Riding Establishment, the 13th and 15th Brigades, the Depot, and Coast Brigade Royal Artillery, in order to their being present to witness the ceremony of decorating and rewarding 28 non-commissioned officers and men belonging to the corps, who were presented with various medals and pecuniary rewards of £l5 108., and £5, by the special sanction and desire of the Queen in Council. A 200-pounder muzzle-loading gun, manufactured by the firm of Sir Wm. Armstrong and Co., at Els wick, was yesterday received at Woolwich Arsenal, weighing about eight tons, and was forwarded to the proof butt to be tested for service. The Armstrong guns tested at Woolwich this week have met with some serious reverses by the bursting of no less than three of the 100-pounders during proof at the butt yesterday and the preced ing day. Yesterday two of these huge guns, loaded with an over-proof charge of 2711 b. of powder, and a 1101 b. solid shot, burst through the B coil, imme diately behind the trunnions. The coil and the in ternal tube were severed, and the portion of the tube remaining in the breech-piece was also rent and torn in several places longitudinally by the concussion. The third gun was separated in the centre of the barrel or chase and gave way trans versely, almost as though cut through with a saw. Each of the guns had been fired for s , 3me days past experimentally to test the vent pieces; and one had fired over 200 rounds. It is rumoured that the piece system, at which the men are now employed, tends to lessen the value of the work, which is hur riedly performed. The hired transport Lincelles, Commander Gooch, arrived at Spithead yesterday from Fremantle, Western Australia, with the 23d Company of Royal Engineers on board, and a few naval invalids from the Cape of Goad Hope. The latter were transferred from the Lincelles to the Victory flagship_ The Royal Engineers are ordered to proceed round to Woolwich in the ship, which was expected to sail from Spithead at daylight this morning. They comprise Capt. E. C. Sim, Lieut. R. G. Thorold, 5 sergeants, 8 corporals, 29 women, and 87 children, and 1 sergeant, invalided, from the 12th Foot, wife and 4 children. The Lincelles sailed from Fre mantle April 27, Simon's Bay July 20, and St. Helena Aug. 9. Two births and two deaths oc curred during the voyage, which has been consider ably delayed owing to strong winds round the Cape and contrary winds on nearing and in the Channel. IZOYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTI- lUTION. Yesterday a meeting of this institution was held at its house, John-street, Adelphi ; Thomas Chap man, Esq., F.R.S., V.P., in the chair. There were also present—Admiral Sir George Sartorius, Capt. Sir Edw. Perrott, Bart. ; George Lyall, Esq., M.P. Admiral M'Hardy, Admiral Cator, Alex. Boetefeur, Esq. ; Capt. De St. Croix, Capt. Ward, R.N. ; and Richard Lewis, Esq., secretary of the institution. A reward of £9 was voted to the crow of the Dungeness lifeboat of the institution, for going off on the night of the 21st ult., and after much diffi culty saving fourteen men belonging to the Portu guese barque CruzV., of Oporto. The ship had gone on shore off Dungeness in blowing weather, after having experienced a heavy gale of wind. The ship's crew were in a very excited state, and about to abandon their vessel, over which the sea was breaking heavily, in their own longboat, when the lifeboat, fortunately, about midnight, came up to them. They were thus opportunely rescued from an apparent death, for their boat could not, it was stated, have lived in such a heavy sea. The life boat was reported by Coxswain Mockridge, chief boatman of the Coast Guard, to have behaved re markably well on the occasion. A communication was read from the Portuguese Ambassador, express ing his high satisfaction with the important ser vices thus rendered to 14 of his countrymen, and stating that he would not fail to report the same to his Government. A reward of £7 10s. was also voted to the crew of the Rhyl lifeboat, belonging to the institution, for putting off with the view of saving the crew of the schooner Jameson, of Liver pool, which was observed suddenly to founder in a heavy squall on the 13th ult. The schooner's crew han taken to their own boat, and were fortunately picked up by the Point of Ayr lifeboat. A reward of £8 was also given to the crew of a pilot-boat for put ting off and rescuing at considerable risk of life the crew of three men belonging to the schooner Dove, of Leith, which during a gale of wind and Equally weather had sunk off Newhaven. The crew clung to the rigging, from which perilous situation they were after an hour of agony saved by the pilotboat. The coxswain of the Bude Haven lifeboat of the society reports that he had recently fallen into a canal at that place, and was under water for nearly 10 minutes before he was got out, when he was found apparently dead. He was immediately treated in t accordance with the rules of the National Lifeboat Institution for the restoration of the appare n t l y_ ars ,, l drowned, founded on those of the late Dr.:l op _n i u i ; Hail, and after about half an hour he w e a .. b retored to life, and is now doing very s w t 11 mo uth the It was reported that during the p General Sir Dublin, institution had sent new lifeboats to H a ow Blakeney, Norfolk, and to Gue t r7e t y o . th c society the th, G.

A recital of all'. that is involved in an Archbishopric of Canterbui ry, in the form of income, patronage, and rank, sen .ds one involun tarily to the New Testament, to se le if anything is to be found there which will give sanction to such an importation of the spirit of the world into the administration of the Church. Then a suspi cion crosses the mind of a looker-on, that, after all, the Primacy of the English Church is but a splendid pieco of show, without much real utility ; else, how could the Guardian ven ture to say that, if it were not. for the necessity for filling the vacancy which it has occasioned, the death df Dr. Sumner would scarcely have excited attention beyond. his own domestic circle ? Lastly, we agree with a correspondent of that journal, that the question, " Who is to ocanpy the See of Canterbury ?" is "one of such tzeznenclous import to the Church at large that it ought not to be left to Lord Palmerston." It is true that, after having already appointed two archbishops and nine bis hops, his lordship has, as the Saturday Review jauntily says, "got his hand in ;" but doubts begin to prevail in some quarters whether it is quite seemly that such a man should create so many " successors of the apostles," as by some they are deemed. We are, therefore, not altogether sur prised to learn that— " The President of the English Church Union has issued a memorandum, in accordance with a resolution passed at a meeting of the Council, respectfully requesting all the members, women associates, and parochial associates of the Union, daily (until after the appointment) to offer up prayers and intercessions to Almighty God in behalf of the patriarchal See of Canterbury, now vacant by reason of the lamented death of the late archbishop. 'And the clerical members of the Union are requested to provide for the celebration of the Holy Communion for this intention in their respective churches on some Sunday or other day ; and all lay members, women associates, and paro chial associates, are urged to avail themselves of the oppor tunity of being present, and there to petition the Divine Head of the Church so to dispose and govern the heart of Victoria our Queen,' her advisers, and all others who are privileged to take part in the nomination, election, confir mation, and consecration of bishops, that they may have grace 'to make a wise choice—one pleasing' to our Almighty Lord God, 'and conducive to His glory and honour, and the advantage of His Church." 'CQGt L We should have thought it better to pray that somebody more trustworthy than a worldly Minister of State should be " privileged to take part in the nomination and selection of bishops." What would be thought of entrusting a surgical operation to a clergyman or a lawyer, and then praying that ho might be divinely helped to perform it with success. —Liberator. ESSAY 8 AND REVIEWS-WHAT WILL THE CHURCH DO? The remarkable reticence of the Church press and the clergy with respect to Dr. Lushington's judg ment on the Essays and Reviews has been of all features of this controversy, one of the most signi ficant. While judgment was in suspense the press teemed with books, pamphlets, articles, and letters. The monstrosity of the opinions held and avowed by the essayists was exposed in every shape, man ner, method, and temper. They were "infidel," " rationalistic," " dishonourable," "subversive of the gospel," " contrary to the articles," &c., &c. More important than this, they were formally denounced and condemned by all the archbishops and bishops. People, therefore, ask each other—What will the Church do if the judgment sustains any of the opinions held by the essayists ? Nobody could tell ; but there was a vague and cloudy impression that something very important, if not very dreadful, would follow. Not a man hinted that it was all "sound and fury signifying nothing." It was, for once, believed that the Church was in earnest. Well, judgment has been delivered, and it has sustained the essayists and reviewers in some of their most important opinions—in six out of thirteen of the counts, delivered against Dr. Williams. That is to say, the bishops, the thousands of clergymen, the scores of pamphleteers, and all the clerical news. papers have been adjudged to be wrong on half the points at issue. One would have supposed that this would have been considered, to say the least, a serious matter, and one requiring a grave consulta tion of learned bishops, pundits, and divines. For the issue is this. Having pronounced Dr. Williams to be a heretic on these six points, and Dr. W il liams having been adjudged to be orthodox .on these points, it follows that they are heretic al ! What has supervened on so important a judgment ? The Church newspapers have slurred it over, end not a bishop or an archdeacon has alluded to it. It is a grave matter for seven gentlemen to be dishonest and heterodox, but it is nothing if we are all dishonest and heterodox ! In that case the least said the better. We thought they were wrong, but finding that it is we who have blundered —the best thing we can do is to hush the matter up, and keep our livings." So the present silence will, we believe, be generally interpreted.--Libe rator. PRICE..... ~.4d. STAMPED ....sd. operations of the National Lifeboat Institution, its exponditure must necessarily be always very large on its 123 lifeboat establishments ; accordingly pay ments amounting to £1,550 were ordered to be made yesterday on some of its lifeb, at stations which had recently been completed, and on the repairs, &c., of others. The committee appealed with renewed confidence to the public for support, resting their appeal on the great fact that 740 shipwrecked crea tures had been directly saved from a watery grave by the lifeboats of the institution during the last two years or so. These 740 people represent pro bably 2,000 or 3,000 women and children, who would otherwise to-day be in a state of widowhood and orphanage. The proceedings then closed. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday, at two o'clock, a Court of Common Council was held, at Guildhall, for the despatch of business—the Lord Mayor presiding. On the mo tion of Mr. Deputy Lloyd, Mr. Sheriff Jones was invited to take his seat on the bench of aldermen, though not a member of that body. Mr. Woodthorpe, the town clerk, read a letter which Alderman Rose had addressed to the Lord Mayor, signifying through him, to the Common Council, his willingness to take on himself the office of Lord Mayor, to which he was elected on Michael mas day. It was ordered to be entered on the journals of the Court. THE CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. The LORD MAYOR said, with the permission of the court, he should like to refer to a subject con nected with the trials at the Central Criminal Court. On Wednesday week, when he was attending the sessions there, the question of taking shorthand notes of the trials was brought forward and dis cussed, and the universal opinion of all those who were best able to judge of the matter was that it was a very desirable thing that there should be, as re cords of the court, correct and verbatim reports of all that took place there. One of the judges said, though ho took notes which were quite sufficient to enable him to form an opinion of a case before him, yet whenever an appeal was made to the Home office it was necessary that the Secretary of State, and those who had to assist in investigating the matter, should be furnished with verbatim reports of the proceedings on the trial. (Hear.) The re sult therefore was, that, apart from the question of printing and circulating such copious reports of the proceedings as, until recently, had been done at the expense of the corporation, it was held to be most desirable that of the proceedings in the Central Criminal Court of London, the most important cri minal tribunal in the metropolis, and perhaps in the world, authentic records should be prepared and preserved—(hear)—and he had, therefore, thought it his duty to make the announcement to the court, preparatory to a regular motion on the subject on a future day. Mr. LAWLEY gave notice of his intention to move that it be referred to the general purposes commit tee to consider and report forthwith on the pro priety of continuing the office of shorthand writer at the Central Criminal Court, and to furnish a statement of the probable cost. THE OFFICE OF CITY SOLICITOR. Mr. H. LOWMAN TAYLOR, premising that the importance of the subject would command the at tention of the whole court, gave notice that he should move at their next meeting, "That in their opinion the second standing order, which precludes members of this court from being candidates for high and important offices in its gift, and which has been in force for many years, is a wise and sa lutary regulation—(cheers)—tending to uphold the dignity, character, and independence of the Court of Common Council—(renewed cheers)—and that at the forthcoming appointment of City solicitor that standing order shall remain intact, and not be suspended." (Cheers.) Alderman DAKIN then moved—" That this court cannot record the death of Charles Pearson, Esq., the City solicitor, without expressing the opinion they entertain of the able and faithful manner in which he for so many years discharged the duties of his office. Having in early life taken a leading part in the conduct of the business of the corpora tion, as representative of the ward of Bishopsgate, he acquired an intimate knowledge of its affairs!, and while - .le industriously dedicated his great abi lities to the important concerns which came within the immediate scope of the duties of his office in all matters affecting the general welfare of the citi zens of London, he was ever ready to lend to their promotion his powerful aid. This court likewise desires to express its sympathy with Mrs. Pearson in the bereavement with which it has pleased Pro vidence to visit her. The great loss she has sus tained may in some degree be estimated by those who have experienced the kindliness of his manner and the readiness with which on all occasions he assisted those who required his help. And this court earnestly hopes that Mrs. Pearson in her hour of sorrow receives support from that source which alone can supply it to those who are visited with severe trial." The resolution, after being seconded by Mr. CHARLES REED, was carried unanimously. . . Later in the day Deputy HARRISON, pursuant to notice, moved—" That it be referred to the officers and clerks committee to consider what provision, if any, should be made for Mrs. Pearson, widow of the late City solicitor, in consideration of the many important services rendered by him to his fellow citizens, especially for the last 23 years, during which period he was an of6cer of the corporation." The motion underwent some very severe criticism from Mr. Bone and Deputy Elliott, the latter of whom, in an eloquent speech, condemned the im providence which had left a lady, without any family dependent on her, unprovided for, a nd he reminded the court that it was said in Holy writ that " He who provided not for his own h ousehold denied the faith, and was worse than an infidel." Mr. Noun's briefly supported the m oll, n 7 and, eventually the court adj ourn ed without comin g to any decision on the matt er , leaving Mr. Deputy Harrison to bring on his motion de v ovo at a future meeting, if he shall think it desirable so to do. s o clETT.—Anion g AN ILL-USED FRIENDLY to the Registrar of in his recent the numerous complaints subtbeya an- Friendly Societies, and publish spelt description of nual report, the following phonet ical oie y t and preyed upon its a loafer who had got into , w wo uld bo very much obliged to ed ly h .. iin funds, appears :—" Sir ' s word wat wee ad beter doo ; one you if you would send u s . k an d clamed the benefit of our of our members as bevit one the box the stuard went to visit society, and wile 11 .11 0 5 Pigs ; the pigs was nat his oun, they him.

So heare I rerasin your aff ectionate THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. The total visitors to the Exhibition during the last two days have only amounted to 78,042, of which 6,980 have been season-ticket holders, and 71,062 by payment or shilling day tickets. Yester terday the attendance was at its lowest ebbin point of receipts, the money taken at the doors barely amounting to £1,400. Even the wretched weather will scarcely account for this falling off. Its ex planation may perhaps, however, be found in the wide-spread belief that the time of closing is still undecided, or at earliest only likely to take place at some indefinite period in the middle of winter. Those who are putting off to the last minute, under this i m pression, will find their mistake out when too late for remedy. During only 16 more days will the building remain open to shilling visitors. In the subsequent fortnight allowed into November, when the exhibitors will be permitted to sell their goods, the tariff for admission will, we believe, in no case be less than 2s. 6d. Those who wish to see it at a shilling may depend, therefore, that their only chance is during the next 16 days. LAVOISIER.—At yesterday's sitting of the Aca demy of Sciences, M. Dumas, in presenting the second volume of Lavoisier's works, just issued from the press at the expense and under the auspices of the State, read a highly interesting and touching . noti ce o f the labours of that great man. Before him, chemist s s till followed the theory of Stahl, according to which what we now call com bustion, or the absorption o f oxygen, caused the evolution of an imaginary substance which he called phlogiston. Thus, when a metal, such as tin or lead for instance, was covered with a pe l licle while in a state of fusion, it was, said to have. lost a part o f it s p hl og i ston, i nstead of having, as Lavoisier showed, absorbed a quantity of oxygen. When Stahl published his theory of phlogiston in the 17th cen tury, it certainly was an immense step taken in the right direction ; for had he only imagined an absorption instead of an evolution, he would infallibly have discovered oxygen ; and his theory undoubtedly enabled chemists to give their science a certain degree of organisation which it lacked before. But for Lavoisier was reserved the glory of discovering oxygen and the wonderful theory of com bustion. M. Dumas traced the almost romantic history of this discovery with touching effect. " A few weeks before his death," he said, " when ho was already resigned to the loss of all his property, but still hoped to save his life, and was considering what profession he might embrace to pro cure his family their daily bread, he protested, in solemnly bidding adieu to science, against the tendency of the public to confound the slow propagators of a truth with him who discovered it." Lavoisier, in fact, was in danger of being robbed of the honour he deserved. He had conceived his system, and nearly completed it, within 1772 and 1777; yet it was only in 1786 that Fourcroy began to teach it ; Cuy ton de Morveau adopted it later still, and Beithellet wrote according to the system of phlogiston as late as 1785. La voisier then, just before his death, resolved to publish the contents of a sealed parcel he had deposited with the Aca demy of Sciences 20 years before, and on which he had been silent until then. It bore the date of the Ist t o h f o N r h ov ad ., 1772, and contained the announcement that remarked an increase of weight, and therefore tan i absorp tion, and not a loss, in sulphur when con ceivingtsdanauthat,un had experimented on phosphorus , emitted a quantity the same might be the case in d b f o u o th rn er d s t u h b e s s t a a na nc e e . s, an h ( o i lastly, that litharge, on being g inous than the litharge more voluminous o f the most astonishing anti of air 1,000 times E . a Such was the origin of effected in a science! fruitful revolutions ever T HE SOCIAL SCIENCE REVIEW.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—We beg you to insert in the columns of your esteemed journal the following document, and remain, with our best regards, yours, &c., A. HERZEN, N. OGAREFF, Editors of the Bell. Orsett-house, Westbourne-terrace. "The present Polish movement is not understood by all Russians in its real character. In Russia all knowledge about it is drawn from official statements, German papers— often paid, always hostile—and certain French papers, badly informed as to the state of our affairs. This is the cause of many Russians considering our present movement from the old point of view of an aristocratic Polish rising, with the end to recover by force the historical boundaries of Poland. " All this is false. The union of Poles and Russians to struggle in common for their emancipation from under the yoke of despotism affords such evident advantages for both, that we decided upon explaining to your friends, through you, the basis of the new Polish movement. " The fundamental ideas with which Poland now rises are—The right of the peasants to become proprietors of the land they now cultivate, and the right of every people to dispose themselves of their own fats. " The aim of this letter is to give you the possibility of stating that you are fully aware of our mode of considering the fundamental questions of our cause. " The question about the proprietorship of the peasants is settled by all Poland without difference of political parties; all agree the peasants must receive the land they cultivate. meat, t T . h te is s e t n a a te bl i e n d e u ur s, or ganisation of the nation will, from b p e o in lit g ic p al laced at the head of the move•. surrection, declare the inhabitants o theprogrammef first thatmo ment of w in villages proprietors of the land they now cultivate,and the popular government will take upon itself the remuneration privileges of classes, State d teuds towards ti T on h of the landowners, out of the general funds of the State. e an suffered o er p ed ut those The programme further says that the new organisation. of the the abolition of all classes of Polish society which have al waysmostly' h a e upon one and the same political level with those which been privileged ones ; so that the new Polish society should v consist of but one people of free and equal citizens. You see that the fundamental ideas of the Polish movement are entirely popular; that there remains nothing of nobiliary conservatism in them ; their aim being abolition of classes and cession of land to the peasants. " The difference which exists between us, Russians and Poles, with regard to the question about the agricultural classes, arises from the difference of our social elements, and from the circumstances under which we are placed The Russian movement is a popular, economical, social one; . ours is a national one. In Russia the social movement will develop political freedom; in Poland, social reorganisation is only possible as a consequence of political emancipation and recovery of our country. p s a o s c s ia t l o " Such is the ground upon which we hope that your Ru ,, s vir sian e friendsthose will go arm in arm with us--that they will go as Russian warriors went, who sanctioned with their ourmartyr-bloody union n the righteousness nam eof our of npdu the h a e seal to cause. thesecond point, and you willperceive here also that the alleged difference of • • opinion as to the right of free nation s to dispose of themselves does not exist.
