The object of this Company Is to establish bakeries in dif ferent parts of London for the manufacture and Sale of aerated bread under Dr. Dauglish's patents; Whereve , the iterated breaa has been introduced it has ob taine faVotir With the public and support from the medical profession by ate perfect cleanliness and purity and whole some and nutritious qualities, and it must when supplied in quantity supersede the use of fermented bread, The repbrt presented to farliament at the close of the last session by Mr. Tremenhere, the Commissioner appointed by the Hume-office to inquire into the grievances complained of by the journeymen bakers, calls attention to the "great pub , . lie importance" of Dr, Dauglish's process. In the ordinary method of making bread ; the necessary dis tension of the dough is produced by the chemical process of fermentation by means of yeast, Which developes ,arbonic acid gas by decomposing certit n elements of the flour. This process of fermentation destroys a part, and deteriorates the whole, of t.: e substance of the flour. It is tediou. and Uncer tain, and liable to derangement by any variation in materials, weather, or temperature ; and it requires the close and con tinued attention of a master or of a Steady and experienced workman. The new method of bread-making, substitutes machinery for skilled hand labour. The dough is distended by carbonic acid gas, produced independently, and admitted by mechanical means t an operation which can be conducted on a large scale with perfect regularity and etrtainty, and so rapidly that in an hour and a-half the Sack of flour is converted into baked loaves; waste and deterioration being entirely avoided, and the most perfect cleanliness secured, as the flour passes from the sack into the baked loaf with o ut being once touched by the hand. The long hours and ekhausting night-work of the opera tive bakers are rendered unnecessary, and all the Other evils of the trade are entirely remedied. A modern bakery, open to inspeetiOn, has already been established by the patentee and his friends at Islington, at a Very moderate cost, for the purpose of proving, by the best of all evidence—that of practical working—the beneficial and profitable character of the process. All the bread is there sold for cash. It is proposed that this Company shall t :ke over the model bakery, and establish 19 other similar bakeries in favourable situations. The management will be of the mos' simple and economical kind. Each new bakery will be a repetition of the last of those preceding it, and will be easily managed by an intelligent foreman ; and the whole estab i lishment will be superintended i,y one expe,ienced general manager, whose Services are already secured, and who shows his own perfect confidence in the success of the undertaking by agreeing to receive no remuneration for his services till the Company shall be in a position to pay a dividend of 10 per cent. On the first issue of 10,000 shares, or £lOO,OOO, X 60,000 will be called up. With th's sum the first 20 bakeries can be com pleted and worked. Further bakeries will be established as the darned increases; and the Company may eventually become their own millers. It is intended to rent in prefe rence to building. No call Will exceed £2 per share, or be made at less than two Months' notice. In every increase of capital, whether within the first £500,000 or beyond it, an option will be given to existing shareholders to take the new shares in propor tion to their several holdings. The subscribers to the first 20 bakeries will thus secure to themselves the entire benefit of an enterprise of unlimited extent, supported by a daily de nt,nd for the first necessary of life, by a population equal to that of Scotland, or halt that of Ireland, concentrated in one spot ; whose bread consumes 60,' 00 sacks of flour per week, and costs eight millions sterling per annum. This vast po pulation increases at the rate of 1,000 souls per weer, and would require the annual addition of eight bakeries of the size proposed. The enterprise, moreover, is one which, how ever much it may extend itself, will require no complicated accounts, no heavy stocks on hand, no oonoiderable lia bilities. Au arrangement has been made with thepatentee, and with Mr. Childs, who has an interest in the patents, for an exclu sive licence for the whole of London (including the entire district within a radius of 10 mil es f rom St . Paul's), at a mo derate fixed price per bakery, payable only as each bakery is erected. The Directors hope to be able to dertare a dividmd in the course of the year 1863. Meanwhile they are happy to state that out of the profits of the model bakery at Islington they will be enabled to pay interest at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum on the deposit and calls from the dates of payment ti..l the first general meeting in May next. An estimate for the first twenty bakeries, based upon ac tual experience obt ,ined by the working of the model bakery at Islington. has been carefully prepared. It shows a clear profit of 33 per cent. It should be understood that only two kinds of bread are now produced and sold, the lucrative business of selling flour, fancy bread, and biscuits not having yet been en+ ered upon. These obvious and legitimate sour ces of profit are not reckoned upon in the estimate. The Directors wish it to be understood that they are under no engagement whatever to mese any purchases or payments which do not appear on the face of the detailed estimate attached to the prospectus, for which application must be made at the Offices of the Company.

The winter session of the University of Edinburgh was opened on Monday afternoon by the Principal, Sir David Brewster, who, as usual, delivered an introductory address, in the course of which he touched on many topics. PHYSIOGNOMY.ofthe He said that one characteristics of the age in which we live was its love of the mysterious and marvellous. "I refer to the so-called science of physiognomy, but more especially to the morbid expansion of it called the physiognomy of the human form which has been elaborated in Germany, and is now likely to b ' o tam pos session of the English mind. In want of any other arguments, our physiognomists assert that it is simply probable that the outer form would be designed on purpose to represent the mental character, and on this ground they dogmati cally declare that the expressions of rage, or grief, or fear have been ' divinely designed on purpose that the inner mind may be known to those who watch the outer man.' The persons who use such arguments and have recourse to such assumptions never propose to make an inductive comparison of a certain number of well-measured forms with the well-ascertained mental phases with which they are associated. Were such experiments made, they would yield no result. No two physiognomists, acting separately, would agree in measuring and characterising the forms and indications of the head, the features, the hands, and the feet of the patient; and no two individuals—neither the saga cious judge on the bench, nor the shrewd counsel at the bar—could determine his real character were they to conjure with all the events of his life. In this new physiognomy, a head large in the mid region indicates a predominance of the feelings over the other faculties. A proneness to superstition and fanaticism is shown by a little increase in the ele vation ; and a head large behind evinces practical ability, and, as Dr. Carus says, characterises a race which will give birth to great historic names! Small heads, however, are not to be despised. They indicate talent, but not genius, while very small ORES belong, he says, to the excitable class, from whom ' a great part of the misery of society arises.' In the varying expressions of the human face, the physiognomists find a better support for their viewi; That the emotions of the past and the present leave permanent traces on the human countenance is doubtless true, and to this extent we are all physi ognomists, often very presumptuous ones, and, ex cepting accidental coincidences, always in the wrong, when we infer from any external appear ance the character and disposition of our neighbour. In every class of society we encounter faces which we instinctively shun, and others to which we as in stinctively cling. But how frequently have we found our estimates to be false ? The repulsive aspect has proved to be the result of physical suffering, of domestic disquiet, or of ruined fortunes; and un der the bland and smiling countenance, a heart de ceitful and vindictive, and ' desperately wicked,' has often been found concealed." THE PATENT LAWS. Later in his address he alluded to the patent laws, and the recent attempts that have been made to pro cure their abolition. " You are all aware that the author of any literary work, however small be its dimensions, and however frivolous its subject, en joys by the laws of E En land the sole right of pub lishing it for 28 years, and during the rest of his life. The only tax exacted by the law, and that only for the benefit of the public, is the presentation of five copies to the principal libraries of the king dom. The artist, the engineer, the draftsman, the geographer, the hydrographer, and the sculptor enjoy the same valuable right, and so complete is the protection afforded by the law that piracy is almost unknown ; and works thus secured consti tute a property which can be as safely transferred as land or money in the funds. It is otherwise, however, with the inventor of new machines, new instruments, and new processes in the fine and uSe ful arts. While the author can instantly dispose of his work, or draw the profits which it may yield, the inventor must devote himself to the deve lopment and practical application of his invention. When his arrangements are complete he applies for a patent, and he receives a right to use his invention for 14 years by paying fees and expenses which half a century ago amounted in many cases to £4OO or £5OO. The right thus obtained was entirely illusory. His parchment, indeed, bore the Great Seal of England; but the patent could be reduced, and the price of it forfeited, either from want of complete originality in the invention, or from frivo lous defects in his own description of it. In this state of the patent law, injurious to the interests of the public, and ruinous to' inventors, our distinguished Chancellor, Lord Brougham, directed his attention to the subject, and carried two bills through Parlia ment which reduced the price of patents, and re moved many of the more obnoxious provisions of the former law. These improvements were generally acceptable, and though inventors were still dissatis fied with the large sum of about £l5O or £2OO, which they had to pay, and with the imperfect pro tection which their patent secured, they nevertheless submitted to the operation of the law, in the hope that future legislation might improve it. Under these circumstances, men of science and inventors of all classes were startled with a proposal made by a distinguished engineer, that the patent law should be repealed, and that there should be something like free trade in inventions. In addressing an as sembly of civil engineers at Sheffield, Sir William Armstrong said 'that the dauntless spirit which, in matters of commerce, had led this country to cast off the trammels of protection, had resulted in aug mented prosperity to the nation, showing the inju rious tendencies of class legislation when opposed to general freedom of action ;' and he expressed a hope ' that the sa me bold and enlightened policy might be extended, in some degree at least, to matters of invention.' For his own part, he was inclined to think the prestige of successful invention would, as a rule, bring with it sufficient reward, and that pro• tection might be entirely dispensed with. Under the free trade of the present day, thus highly and justly appreciated, we receive the corn and the wines of one country in return for the iron and the coalof another ; but it exceeds our comprehension how there can be free trade between two parties, one of which is the small class of discoverers and inventors, inventors at all, and who, with profit i t all every the discovery and the other the whol e m ass o f so ciety, who are not numbers, wealth, and position, would instantly ap propriate and turn to o science that had a practical bearing,and influence in of every me chanical idea that could be embodied in an instru. merit or a machine. Between such parties as these there can be no interchange of ideas and no reci procity of interests; and as there can be no dealings between them, there can be no freedom of trade in any sense analogous to that great commercial doc trine to which reference has been made. But even under the present patent laws, as they exist in every part of the Old and New World, there is already something approaching to freedom of trade. Every foreigner can obtain a patent in England on the same terms as an Englishman, and an Englishman enjoys a similar right in return. The producers of ideas, therefore, are in every country in the same re lative position nearly as the producers of those com modities which are interchanged under free trade — the non-producers of ideas and the non-producers of commodities deriving analogous advantages under the law—the one from the importation of useful in ventions, and the other from the importation of the necessaries and luxuries of life. There is still, how ever, another variety of free trade in inventions which we think is the only one that deserves the name. Were a patent right granted at the cost merely of its registration to every applicant, and continued with equal security during the same period as copyright, every new idea—every scheme of ingenuity or adventure—would be brought be fore the public, and elaborated for the use of man. Such a scheme may be expected in some future age, when statesmen may have learned to face problems before which they now quail, and appreciate inte rests to which they are now insensible." STAMPED ....sd. anti-fouling compositions, when on lengthened foreign service, by the destruction of the compo sition and subsequent corrosion of the plates and rivet heads, together with the necessity for meeting the threatened want of increased dock accommoda tion for our iron ships as speedily and effectively as possib:e s has induced the Admiralty to devote their immediate endeavours to find some means to render this docking of iron ships for cleaning and re coating their bottoms as seldom requisite as possible. - Mr. Griffiths has laid before the Admiralty a plan for sheathing the bet oms of iron ships with Muntz metal, using a non-conducting material bet wean the protecting metal and the iron-bottom plates, and has received an order to sheath a small iron vessel on this plan as an experiment. The Controller of the Admiralty has also called upon Mr. Hay, chemist to the Board, to send in to the Admiralty a model of his proposed plan for sheathing the bottoms of iron vessels with copper or Muntz metal. This plan was first submitted to the notice of the Admiralty on the annual visit of the Board, with Lord Auckland at its head, some years since, and was discussed by the Board on their return to Lon don, but its adoption was declined. The decision had just then been arrived at that iron ships were quite useless as men-of-war or Government screw troopships, and that it was even desirable to get rid of the very few that then were on the navy list. Other plans besides these of 111 r. _Hay and Mr. Griffiths arc also before the Admiralty, all seeking to attain the same end, although by different means, several resorting to the process of electro-typing iu preference to applying temperary compositions, or the ordinary method of protecting wooden ships by sheets of copper. The two more prominent r! these last are known as the " Besley" and " Walen" pro cesses. Both profess to deposit a pure metal, or a combination of metals, by an alkaline process in lieu of the old acid process. The Besley process is already partially adopted by the Admiralty at Portsmouth, tanks and batteries now being at work over the steam factory of Portsmouth dockyard, depositing a coating of metal on the iron bolts that are to be used for fastening the armour plates on the sides of the Royal Alfred and Royal Sovereign. The success as yet has not been great ; in fact the alkaline pro cess as developed by the Besley system is, owing to some cause, slow, and may possibly yet be super seded by the original acid bath. The Walen alkaline process is represented by the floating dock in the Victoria Docks, and its effectual success there seems to be placed beyond a doubt. Mr. Walen claims, as the merits of his invention, that he can rapidly precipitate a pure metal, or a combination of metals, upon iron of any uneven form, with a perfectly even, bright surface, of any thickness, and indestructible as the metal upon which it is deposited. Mr. Walen, while proposing very much that is evidently simple and practicable, and which will doubtless be carried out with little delay, relative to the preservation of our iron ships in their construction, goes much further than this, and advocates the adaptation of one of the new docks now constructing as a huge bath, in which an iron ship, when delivered to Go vernment by the contractors, might be at once re ceived, and coated as far above the water line as required, by one process, with an imperishable co vering of copper or other protective metal. Whether all or any of these plans should be definitively adopted by the Admiralty, time and experience can alone decide. The Government property on which it is intended to erect a suitable and commodious hospital for the exclusive reception of the sick wives and children of the troops quartered at Chatham garrison has been taken possession of by Mr. A. Stump, the contractor to the War Department. Workmen have already commenced the excavations for the foun dations of the new structure. The hospital will be erected in an elevated and healthy situation, be tween Chatham Barracks and the inner lines, and will form a continuation of the garrison hospital, although detached from that building. The main building will be 150 ft. in length and of propor tionate depth.' The interior will be fitted up in a similar manner to Melville Hospital for seamen and marines at Chatham, which is considered one of the best institutions of the kind in the kingdom. The want of a hospital for women and children has long been felt at Chatham. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Russell G. S. Pasley, Flag Lieutenant to Rear-Admiral Kingcome, Com mander-in-Chief in the Pacific ; James R. G. Browne, paymaster, to be Secretary to Rear-Admi ral Kingcome; W. E.

A Memoir m Professor of Moral Philosophy iieetiateitte4ll3r4ei of Edinburgh. Compiled from Fead.ly ?Apei*-elee" and other sources. By his Daughter, lirsts Gordon. 2 Vols. Edmonston and Doug'lg' rgh. the life of a great man, truthfully told, is at all times agreeable reading, and the character of few among the literary giants of whom death of late years has deprived us will better bear examination in the broad light of day than that of the subject of the present memoir; and this because his nature, mental, moral, and physical, was a peculiarly healthy one. In him there was nothing morbid. If ever a sound mind in a sound body was possessed. by man it was his. Nature cast him in a colossal mould. He was throughout life a strong man re joicing in his strength, though occasionally, in the early part of his literary career, he used it "like a giant," tyrannically. He reminds us in vital power of one of the Scandinavian heroes. He ve is a sort of literary Berserker. When the fit was on him he wielded the pen like the himmer of Thore smiting his adversaries hip and thigh, rejoicing like the war-horse at the sound of battle, revelling in carnage like a Goth of old. But this is true rather of his first efforts, when Blackwood was in. its youth, and its writers had much of youth's in temperance and lack of self-control. m uc h, also, must be laid to the spirit of the time. Manners then were coarse. Ilud conflicts we e, not confined to scavengers. Personality was cons id ere d legitimate in literary warfare. No privatened arrow of eharacter w man's e poisocaluamsnyreswpeacstetdoo. often d launched at a politicai opponent. But these faults Professor Wilson outlived As h . e grew in years so he increased, not alone in knowledge, but He then in Lana bet te r .part yr charitY , nobly red eem ed his early errors , rendered fall justice to his former foes, and, crowned Leith years and honours, died in peace with all men. Nothing proves more clearly the tolerant spirit with which he latterly regarded those of an opposite political creed than his rising almost from a sick bed witiiita two years of his death, and proceeding to Edin burgh to vote for Macaulay. His was a noble nature, passionate and prompt in utterance, but free from all taint of malice. His soul was too great for envy, and he poured forth his thick thronging fancies with a fervid eloquence stirs the reader as with the trumpet's sound. His prose is indeed composed of " thoughts that breathe, and words that burn." We prefer it even to his poetry, inasmuch as, unfettered by rhyme, he can express in it the exuberance no of his nature with unbounded but onereedom. His is b n a r row, cold, correct style , teeming with. wealth, and resembling the fruitful earth in pro digal liberality. The eldest son of a wealthy re tired gauze manufacturer, he was born at Paisley, in 1785, and was remarkable, as a child, for beauty and talent. After attending a preparatory school he entered Glasgow College, whence he removed to Oxford. Here he distinguished him self no less by supremacy in all athletic exercises than for his classical attainments ; but this period of his life appears to have been embittered by art unhappy love affair, which unsettled his mind, and, after roaming restlessly about Wales and the Highlands, he bought a small estate called. Ellerlay, near Windermere, took up his abode there, and in 1811 ma rried a Miss Penny. Prior to this he had written " The Isle of Palms" and other poems, and as his father had left him EL fortune of £50,000, his worldly position was a pros perous one. But a reverse took place. His uncle, in whose hands the property had been entrusted, lost it all by imprudent speculations, and Wilson found himself penniless. Nothing daunted, how ever, he entered at the bar, but soon found it an u ncongenial calling ; and, after contributing some articles to the Edinburgh Review, then in the zenith of its fame under Jeffrey, he transferred himself to Blackwood, of which, up to the close of his life, he formed the main s u pp ort. In 1820 the chair of Moral Philosophy itt the University of Edi nbur g h falling vacant, he became a candidate, after a fierce contest obtained it, and held it tilllBsl, when his declining health forced him to resign it. He was then awarded a Government pension of £3OO a year, and in 1854 he expired from a stroke of para lysis. Such is a brief sketch of his career, during the greater part of which he was constantly before the public as a writer and a teacher, being emi nently successful in both,whilst his domestic life was peculiarly happy. He seems to have been gifted in no ordinary measure with the faculty of acquir ing the love and esteem of those with whom he came personally in contact, and we find scattered through these volumes numerous anecdotes of hie kindness of heart and integrity of aim. Indeed his letters, of which many, written at all periods of his life, are given, amply illustrates these points of his character. He is a rare example, too, in these modern days, of the union of great physical power and love of sport, with literary genius. Homer would have delighted in him. The deer-stealing Shakspere would have claimed him as a kindred spirit. Not only was he passionately fond of cock fighting and angling, but he excelled in leaping, wrestling, boxing, rowing, and walking. Among " muscular Christians" he deserves the foremost place. Still, in private life, he was one of the kindest and most unassuming of men. To know him was to love him, and this because he possessed The pathosmd aughter em o r sire, o fanof thedhasw conclu sion h Christo pher shownrvar y e n ot merely strength, but a fund of affectionate ten d erne ss almost feminine in its delica c y .

This is a quaint little vo lume, especially calcu lated to hit the tastes of little people, for whom just at this season of the year . every one is looking " out for a suitable gift book. Piccalilli " consists of sixteen very cleverly told tales, all of which con vey a moral at once striking and a pp ropr i ate. Th e fi rs t tale, entitled " The Toad that went Out to Tea," is a very humorous little story. "The Spider and the Bur," " Cottage in the Lane," " Useless Little Hands," and " Fairyland," although of a dif ferent description, are very interesting. The book is beautifully illustrated by Macqoid and Thomas, the printing and general getting up is exceedingly pretty, and its contents fully bear out its piquant title. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

As soon as the flag was lowered Colonel Crockett took the lead, with Jack-in-the-Box, Maydew, and Weasel in attend ance, and Zingari in the rear. They ran thus to the Severn side, where Paresseuse joined the leading horses, and became third in the bend, after rounding which Wild Chieftain and Southampton dropped astern. Weasel and P aresseuse over hauled Colonel Crockett before reaching the railings, and the favourite was shortly afterwards beaten. A fine race between the two was decided in favour of Weasel by a head, Colonel Crockett losing second place by two lengths. About the same distance from him came Jack-in-the-Box, the next three being Zingari, Lufra, and Maydew. Wild Chieftain was last.

The favourite jumped off with the lead, closely followed by Zara, Miss Julia, and Mousetrap. Very little change occurred till they reached the distance, where Miss Julia gave way to Trust and Lord of the Manor. Mousetrap made an effort to catch the leaders at the stand, but failed, and Pupil carried on the lead to the end, and won cleverly by a neck; Mousetrap was a length from Zara, and a head each separated the next three ; Miss Julia was sixth, and about a length from her East Sheen, David Ann, and Pea hen were seventh, eighth, and ninth.

The iron-plated frigate Royal Oak, 1,000 horse power, preparing for sea at Chatham, is getting ra pidly forward ; the last row of armour plates have only b th e e en st a e l m re a a n dy d s fi t x e e rn d t p o er h ti e e r n b s r nf oad t s h i e de v s e , g s l s e e a l v t i n n be en cased. She has several hundred hands employed on her, and from the energy with which the work of plating and fitting is being pushed forward, will be ready to be undocked early in the ensuing year. Yesterday a body of 50 additional shipwrights, together with a large number of labourers, holders up, and other workmen, were placed on the iron steam-frigate Achilles, 1,250 horse power, under construction at Chatham dockyard. The Lumber of hands now employed about that vessel is close upon 900, 250 of whom are dockyard shipwrights who have acquired suffi3ient knowledge of iron ship building to justify their being employed on the new iron frigate. The midshipe portion of the iron plates or skin of the vessel, having all been rivetted, the_ operation of fixing the teak backing, on which the exterior armour plates will be laid, was commenced yesterday. Between the inner and outer plates of the vessel's side will be laid a backing of teak 18in. in thickness, composed of two planks, the 10-inch baulks of timber being fixed fore and aft, and the 8- icch timbers up and down. Over these, again, will be laid the 41-inch armour plates, giving, with the interior plates, a solid thickness of iron and teak of between 23 and 24 in. In this respect the Achilles will be constructed differently from the Warrior and Black Prince, both of which vessels have their plates fixed amidships only, leaving the stem and stern en tirely unprotected. In the Achilles every portion of the exterior of the vessel's side will be covered with armour plates, which towards the stem and stern will not exceed 2-1-in. in thickness, those portions of the vessel being least exposed. To lessen the tendency to roll common to all our large iron ships of war, the Achilles is constructed flatter on the floors than either the Black Prince or Warrior ; her engines and machinery will also be placed about 2ft. lower, and nearer her kelson. It is intended to give the Achilles an additional mast, in order to render her more manageable when under canvas than the Warrior, which, it is now 'generally admitted, would have her sailing qualities improved by being pro vided with a fourth mast. Although the Achilles will be furnished with one more mast than her sister ships, the amount of canvas she will spread will scarcely exceed the Warrior's. The trim of the new frigate will be improved, and the sails being some what smaller than in our other large iron ships, the operations of reefing, shortening, and making sail will be attended with considerably less labour and difficulty. From the progress already made there is every probability of her being ready for floating out of dock by the end of next year. It will be 12 months later before she will be ready to proceed on her first cruise. The Himalaya screw troopship, Capt. E. Lacy, under repair in her machinery department, will be temporarily undocked to-day to admit of the Resis tance,l6, iron ram, being docked for the examination of her Kingston valves. The Himalaya goes into dock again on it being vacated by the Resistance, to re ceive a new stern tubing and lignum vita:: lining for her screw shaft now being prepared for her. The pro peller of the Himalaya, which is of iron, and was cast at Keyham on the improved Griffiths pattern of blades, has the leading edge and tip of each blade on their four sides honeycombed in a most extra ordinary manner, they having the appearance of wood destroyed by worm perforations. An eluci-- dation of the cause of this partial destruction of the blades by Mr. Griffiths would be interesting as re lating to the action of the screw propellor. The Megmra screw troopship, Commander Hen derson, has been placed in dock at Portsmouth and her bottom examined by the master shipwright and his staff for the purpose of preparing a report for the information of the Admiralty on the respective and comparative merits of the two descriptions of anti-fouling composition with which it was coated in April last. The starboard side of the ship was then payed with the ordinary composition pre pared by Mr. Hay, the Admiralty chemist, and the port side with the Whines:composition, as used on the bottoms of the Cunard steamers. Without an ticipating the decision of the Government authori ties as to the comparative merits of the two compo sitions, we may state that both sides of the ship are unusually clean and free from marine incrustations, taking into consideration the length of time the compositions have been on. Since 1845, however, when experiments with protecting and anti-fouling compositions for the bottoms of iron ships com menced at Blackwall, on her Majesty's screw yacht Fairy, with the compositions of Baron Wetterstedt, Mr. Owen, and Mr. Ditchburn, up to the present time, when the preparations of Mr. Hay, M'lnnes, and Peacock, and Buchans are those exclusively ap plied to seagoing vessels in her Majesty's Navy, not one has been found to answer in all the neces sary requirements, Many of the compositions have not only failed to prevent the adhesion er but hay . , foreign matter to an iron ship's bottom, Ela tion to" actually, or apparently, assisted the fo l r le comPg" growth on it of marine incrustations. . s‘ the chie f Lion prepared by the Admiralty °heel er ' it:na which, ingredient of which is oxide of c f op m p m s lta and the according to the official reports the far i ts pre homeot alto dockyards, stands first on r h .ie ::S oem g prop() as or the attach servation and anti -fouling rowth wee on service gether prevent the g a ves sel ment of shell to the botrtoor the new patent eompo tried in a tropical climate. s , d ons a great s u p eriorit y in sition of Mr. Hay , " t e . e - s over the ordinary compo anti-fouling PoP e L l has not yet been tested fully an y sea-going vessel.

CASSIA. Last evening a public meeting was held at the Whittington Club, Arundel-street, Strand, for the purpose of receiving the Circassian chiefs who are now in this country endeavouring to interest the Government and the people in the wrongs and injuries they are suffering at the hands of Russia, and to ask their countenance and aid in their efforts to establish themselves into a free and ind- pendent nation. Th e Circassian Deputies, Had ji Hayden Hassan and Kustar O g li Ismael, made their appearance in the military costume of laus their country, and were rece ived with much app while their fine soldier. looking appearance created e, general interest. Mr. EDMoND BEALE having been voted to the chair, stated that an address had been Presented to her Majesty, signed by the Circassian Deputies now present, which set forth the terrible wrongs and b a d suffered at the grievances which their country presented to hands of Russia. That add ress was her Majesty on the 26th of August last, and on the 12th of September an answer to it was received, not E ar l Russell, to the from her Majesty, but from effect that her Majesty had received the address, wi t re ferr. That en t could not inter but that her Majesty's Govern fare with the matters to siv hich ed r eply he considered did not e.nxpress the views of the English people.

Mr. HANK E having seconded the resolution, it W as from the chair, and cordially agreed to. A committee was then appointed in terms of the resolution, a nd the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. RUGBY FOOTBALL.--The annual match between the old Rugbians and Rugby School came off, as had been announced, on Saturday, Nov. 1. It has always be en con sidered as one of the best matches of the season, and this year proved even more exciting than usual, owing to the extreme evenness of the sides, which gave it all the ele ments that constitute a really good match. In the begin ning the old Rugbians had slightly the advantage, and a successful kick at goal gained for them half the victory. For the remainder of the afternoon the sides seemed very well matched, and the present Rugbians proved themselves not inferior to their predecessors in address and bravery. Among those who chiefly distinguished themselves may be mentioned Haynes, Hardy, Marshall, Beachcroft, S y kes, for the old Rugbians ; for t he school, Johns, Cook, Wilson, Tritton, Hood, and Newill, Little Breeches. By Charles Bennett. This is another volume of the same class as the above, and also published by Messrs. Se.mpson Low and Co. The praise awarded to "Piccalilli" applies equally to this work, and it will be hard to decide which of the two will be most acceptable to the little folks for whom they are intended. The stories in " Little Breeches" are more numerous and very much shorter than in the above book, but they are not the less telling on that account. The illus trationsbyMr.Bennett, profusely seat t ered through out the volume, are highly comical, and the book will doubtless cause the greatest merriment to those who are fortunate enough to become its possessor. Cassells' Illustrated Almanack. The almanacks for 1863 are now fast appearing, but for cheapness and neatness, Cassells' is sure to obtain very extensive patronage.
