Capt. Norton then exhibited his newly ;.. vented apparatus for submarine explosions which is intended to supersede the Pickford flux: and voltaic agency. Owing, however, to a slight defect in the waterproof frictional igniting cartridge the experiments with this invention were not so satisfactory. The last experiments made by Capt. Norton were with the concussion fuze invented by him, the advantage claimed for which is that it will explode on being thrown into a clay mound or into earthworks—advantages not to obtained by the Moorsom shell or the Boxer fuze. The shell fired at the trial by Capt. Norton exploded the instant it touched the bank, thus demonstrating the supe riority claimed for it by the inventor. At the close of the experiments Capt. Norton expressed his willingness to repeat them before the officers of Engineers on another occasion.

It has been for some years past a matter of notoriety that British and Irish linen manufactures, and also manufacturers of hempen goods, have material suffered from a deficient SuPPIY.of ck-ficient app from the fact th at TY sew the culthiti nof flax in Great Britai ari n has materially decreased instead of increased with the growing requirements of our linen manufactures. Our national com mercial statistics show that, out of 150,000 tons of flax annu ally consumed in the United Kingdom, not more than 50,000 tons are of home growth. In addition to this enormous im portation of flax for our linen manufactures, we have also im ported hundreds of thousands of quarters of linseed every year for home consumption. The linen manufacturers of thei e ll nite any quantity dngdo whichhavem ca de n - Cared that they are ready to take be grown at home, and at such prices as will be more reofm.u nerative to the agriculturist than the usual produce his lands. The promoters of the National Flax Company are prepared to prove to the agriculturists of this country that no more profitable crop can be cultivated than that of flax, whenever their system of rettories, and improved mechanical treatment of flax fibre, shall, be adopted in the localities of its growth. The main feature of the Company's plan is, that it will take the trouble of preparing; the flax for market entirely off the hands of the grower, by becoming the purchasers of the crop. and thus leaving the grower entirely free from the hazards of bad harvesting weather, and at the same time ensuring him a certain handsome profitable return for all the flax he can The and deliver to the Company's depots and rettories. The Company's operations will also embrace the whole of the requisite processs of preparing the flax and similar fibrous substances ready for the spinner. The system of preparation adopted by this Company is the subject of a patent, the invention of Mr. George Albemarle Gator, a gentleman who has made the cultivation of flax and its preparation for the spinner his especial study for many years past, he having fully demonstrated the great economy of labour and the very great improvement of the quality of the flax fibre, which is the result of his improved system of flax preparation. The system will be found fully detailed in the "Explanatory Pamphlet on Flax - Cultivation and Prepa ration, •to be had free from the Secretary of the Company and its agents ; in which will also be found an exposition of the great importance of the home cultivation of flax, as in suring- a regular supply of raw material to the very impor tant national manufacture of linen and hempen goods ; half stuff for papermakers ; and of the importance of the seed for linseed oil and oilcake. As an example of the intended erations of the Copany, the following is quoted from the full prospectus o the Com- Pany Ry rettories will be understood establishments where the preparation of flax fibre from the raw plant for the s pi nner and manufacturer will be carried out through all its stages. It is estimated that two rettories, on the scale proposed as the base of operations, will require eight patent machines, and if constantly at work for, say, 309 days in the year, will produce annually 1,200 tons of flax fibre, 7,500 quarters of linseed, and 900 tons of tows; and, allowing £5O per ton to be obtained for the flax fibre, 565. per quarter for the lin seed, and £5 per ton for the' tows, there is a gross yield of 485,500. Assuming that it will take as much as 10 tons of flax straw nnseeded to produce one ton of flax fibre, at a cost of £4 per ton, and £lB per ton of fibre for all expenses, the total outlay will be 469,000, leaving a balance to b e di v id e d o f £ 15,900, or nearly a3nOzer cent. upon £55,000 (th e cost of the buildings, machinery, togethe r w ith a sufficient working dip ilielnfAitlwo rettories), which is w h o ll y i rrespective of the rettories • at o , i may be expected from license dues from other tended, t h e the operations of the will be in proportion. rounding flax_ a vantages of Selby, The peculiar (r ds Company are ex in Yorkshite, and the sur establishing tart°4lirng districts, have decided the Company on A prospective ent e Brat retetori in that neighbourhood. vation a flax on the irrls• o this Company being the culti occunable lands, of which in the United Kingdom there are No company may benefici a l ly m glions of acres, it is considered the of an avatits attention to the acquire ment, in due course, y wibl? proPrty in such lands.

An erroneous impression exists that public announcements on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are leg - ally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point ofgreat importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are equally requisite.

Observe— opposite the York Hotel, W.—Opera, Race-course, Field, and general Out-door Day and Night Perspective Glasses, very small, for the waistcoat pocket, each containing 12 and 18 lenses, constructed of German glass. Will show dis tinctly a person to know them at two-and-a-half and three miles, and an object from eight to ten miles distant. Her Majesty's Coast Guards are making use of them as day and night glasses in preference to all others ; they are also pro. tarred for deer-stalking by sportsmen, gentlemen, and gamekeepers. Telescopes 3/ inches long, by which a per son may be clearly seen and known at 3i miles' and - an object at 12 to 14 miles' distance; and with an extra astro nomical eye-piece, Jupiter's moons, Saturn's rings, and the double stars are distinctly seen. All the above can be had of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers, and are secured by her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent. The Royal Exhibition, 1851. A valuable, newly invented, very small, powerful Waistcoat-pocket Glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known one and a half mile distant. They answer every purpose on the Race-course and at the Opera• houses. Country scenery and ships are clearly seen at four to six miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, game keepers, and tourists. Price 30 s.—Spectacle Lenses of the greatest transparent power. The great advantage derived from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occupation —can see with those lenses of a much less magnifying power, and they do not require the frequent changes to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Persons can be suited at the most remote part of the world by send ing one of the glasses out of their spectacles in a letter, and stating the distance from the eyes they can read small print with it, and those who have not made use of spectacles by stating their age. Deafness.—New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, an extraordinarily powerfill small newly-invented instrument for Deafness, entirely different from all others., surpasses anything of the kind that has been, or probably ever can be, produced. Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible. It enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public assemblies; the unplea sant sensation of singing noises in the ears is entirely re • moved, and it affords all the assistance that possibly could be desired.-39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Observe — opposite the York Hotel, W. Last night Mr. Bright, M.P., addressed a large audience in the . Public Hall, Rochdale, on behalf of Mr. Cobden, who is a candidate for the representa tion of that borough in Parliament. A resolution having been moved, seconded, and carried with acclamation, that Mr. Cobden was a fit and proper person to represent Rochdale in Parliament, Mr. BRIGHT, who on coming forward was loudly cheered, after a few introductory observations, pro ceeded to give a brief sketch of Mr. Cobden's career. He said he (Mr. Cobden) was one of them selves, and that it was quite likely that his ances tors were seated in one of our English counties at the time of the Norman conquest, but he never boasted that those ancestors came over here with the Conqueror. (Laughter-) After then, he (Mr. Cobden) began to agitate the Anti-Corn law ques tion, and they knew what had been the result. When Mr. Cobden was first sent to Parliament, there was necessarily, owing to his fame as an agi tator, some anxiety in the house to hear what he had got to say. On the occasion upon which he made his first speech, he (Mr. Bright) was in the gallery in the house, not then being a member of Parliament, and chanced to sit by the side of a gentleman, Mr. Horace Twiss, who then wrote the summaries of debate for the Times newspaper. The subject of Mr. Cobden's speech was the corn laws, and after he had done he remembered that Mr. Horace Twiss said, "There is nothing in him. Ile is only a barker, and has no harm in him." (Laughter.) This barker became a great power in the house—so great, that in 1846, Lord John Russell, who was then about to form an Administration, wrote to him, and offered him a ' seat in his Cabinet. Mr. Cobden, however, did not accept the offer, and went abroad. When abroad he discovered what was rotten in all the Governments in Europe, and which caused them to go to perdition by their most costly and most menacing armaments. They would remember how much of what he said of these armaments was ridiculed by those knowing scribes who knew the past, but were not able to judge of what is to come. (Laughter and cheers.) With regard to armaments and fleets, the nations of Europe for years past had been playing the game of beggar my neighbour. (Cheers.) Well, what was the result now ? Why, we saw between three and four millions in Europe drawn from their occupation and private life, and armed with costly weapons to make war upon each other. At this moment the state of things upon the Continent was such that ,we feared that every flash of the electric wire would bring us intelligence that the storm had burst, and that the fine plains and valleys of Italy were deluged with blood. With regard to the question of Parliamentary Reform, they knew well how far Mr. Cobden went, and that his progression was the same as his (Mr. Bright's). (Cheers.) With respect to Lord Jon Russell, he brought the question of Reform before the house year after year, when none but himself scarcely advocated it. le (Lord J. Russell) had then, as now, a real sympathy for Reform, although he was not born down here, but in a ducal palace. They must, therefore, make an allowance for his short comings, if he did not march at the speed they could wish. The hon. gentleman then spoke of Mr. Cobden's visit to the United States, which, he said, was mainly on his own private business, and he concluded by saying that, although he should give Lord John Russell's bill a favourable consideration, he (Mr. Bright) had not given up the thought of bringing in at some future day his own if he were again returned to Parliament. INEQUALITIES IN TEE PARLIAMEN- TARY REPRESENTATION. Mr. David Chadwick has addressed the following Letter to a contemporary : Having recently published a series of calculations showing the exact " representative claim" of every city, borough, and county in Great Britain and Ire land, on the joint bases of population and property, I venture to ask space for a brief statement of the result of a scheme based entirely upon statistical data, and without the slightest consideration of party or political bias, as compared with the change effected by the Reform Act of 1832, and with the plans proposed by the Government and by Mr. Bright, M.P. _ The redistribution of seats is really not an ordi nary question of political or party interest. It is, if justice be valued, quite as much in the interest of the Conservatives as of the Liberals. It is a ques tion of simple justice in measuring out Parliamen tary power, and can be considered and settled with out any change in the franchise or the mode of taking the votes, or the duration of Parliaments. The present Government propose to take away one member each from 15 small boroughs now re turning two members, and to give the 15 seats to' populous and wealthy districts. By the Reform Act of 1832 no alteration was made in the number of members of Parliament (658), but the following alterations were made in the rearrangement of members to these consti tuencies. Fifty-six boroughs, with populations from 12 to 3,961 were disfranchised. Thirty boroughs, with populations from 2,325 to 8,915, and sending two members each, were re duced to one member each. One borough (Weymouth and Melcombe Regis), with a population of 7,700, sending four members, was reduced to two members. The Parliamentary area of 11 shires, towns, or boroughs in Wales was extended by adding adjoin ing places, and the limits of other boroughs Were altered. Twenty-two new boroughs with populations from 23,129 to 359, 864 were created with two members each. Twenty new boroughs with populations from 10,339 to 40,786 were created with one member each. One English county (Yorkshire) sending two members, was increased to six members. Twenty-six English counties sending two mem bers each were increased to 4 members each. Seven English counties sending two members each were increased to three members each. Three Welsh counties sending one member each were increased to two members each. One new county district (Isle of WiFht t ) h , e t vs o dani r u e ee - . re turn one member, was created by being severed from the county of Southampton. Although the disfranchisement schedules in the Reform Act of 1832 were based. on no general prin ciple capable of being deduced from population, property, or intelligence, and were therefore un equal and arbitrary, the leaders of the great political parties by whom these schedules, after a very pro longed contest in committee, were agreed to, were unanimous in their decision that no new borough with less than 10,000 inhabitants should have one member, and that no borough with less than 20,000 inhabitants should have two members. The question then arises, what amount of property and what number of people, or what amount of contribution to the taxation of the country, and what degree of intelligence of the people contributing such taxes, should entitle a district to return a member of Parliament P Nobody has dared to say that the landowners and agriculturists of Yorkshire are not equal in every respect to those of Herefordshire; or that the inhabitants of Salford are not equal to those of Andover or Arundel. Why, then, should the political power of every person in Hereford be nearly ten times greater than occu pyingof persons the s in am t h e e position West R i Riding , i sp n oo g cpi ue o lt f a Yorkshire, y Annuali n g shouldamount a o v f o t t a e taxes, e i sn, Arundeland of equal have intelligence power nea r ? l y IN Thyforty times greater than a similar voter in Salford? In the present Parliament the following is the average representation of each member : Each county member in Eng land. represents Ditto, in Scotland Ditto, in Ireland Each borough and city member - in En land and , £127,000 Ditto in Scotland Ditto, in Ireland The average representation of each member of the entire House of Commons is . 42,000 £195,000 Now if, instead of applying the average numeri cal results above stated, and in order to favour and retain as many as possible of the small constitu encies, we fix the minimum " representative claim" to one member at 10,000 inhabitants and £50,000 of property, and the claim to two members at 20,000 inhabitants, and £lOO,OOO of property ; and if to prevent the large cities and boroughs obtain ing too many members, we greatly increase the proportion of property and population required to claim further members, we shall fully carry out the principles advocated by our most zealous Conser vative friends. I have carefully worked out this problem and It is not expected that Parliament will decide the question on a purely numerical calculation; yet it has been proved by the schedules of the act of 1832, and the mode the present Government propose to distribute the 15 new members under their present bill, that it does and must with all parties form a primary element, if not an absolute gauge in the question. Mr. Bright's proposition takes .awl x 130 mem bers from small• boroughs having le.SS7han 8,000 inhabitants; and although in • redistributing the members he allows other considerations to operate with him, besides the numerical elements of popu lation and property, he is the only political leader who has made those elements the primary consi deration in estimating " representative claims." THE NAVY. The letters of our Malta correspondent, which reach to the Bth of April, announce the arrival there on the day preceding of the Coquette steam gun boat, from the Piraeus of Athens, and the departure thence on the same day for Alexandria of the Argus steam corvette. Accounts from Syria announce that his Royal Highness Prince Alfred, who had arrived at Jaffa in the Euryalus, left that place on the 23d of March on a visit to Jerusalem, whence he was to proceed to Damascus, and afterwards meet his ship at Beyrout.. The Faid Gihaad, Egyptian steam yacht, under the command of Capt. - Tellock, of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's service,, arrived at Malta on the 30th of March, and proceeded on the same day for Alexandria. The Gheivan Bahri, Ottoman steam frigate, arrived on the 31st of March at Malta, and left on the 4th of April for Tripoli, having on board 2,031 officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates for that garrison. The Salaminia, Greek Government steamer, arrived at Scio from Queenstown on the 2d, and left for the Piraeus on the 4th of April. A court-martial assembled on board the Formid able, guardship of ordinary at Sheerness, on Tues day, to try Lieut. Neale Dottin Fonereau Lilling ston on the charge that he being in actual service and full pay in her Majesty's fleet, and lieutenant of and belonging to her Majesty's steam sloop Ardent did, when officer of the watch and in charge of the deck on board her Majesty's said sloop Ardent on the morning of the 24th of December, 1858, negligently perform his duty, and did not personally, and to the best of his ability, give pro per attention to the manner in which the lead was hove on board the said sloop, and did not take proper precaution to obtain soundings, as a guide to the navigation of the said sloop, by the neglect of which the said sloop was run on shore while in his charge. The decision of the court-martial was to the effect that the prisoner did give, to the best of his ability, proper attention to the manner in which the lead was hove ; that he had also taken proper precaution to obtain soundings, as a guide to navigate the said sloop, and that there was no proof of neglect on his part that caused the said sloop to run on shore. The President (Capt. Hal sted), on returning Lieut. Lillingston his sword, said, " Lieut. Lillingston, I have great pleasure in returning you your sword." The steamship Britannia yesterday completed taking in her allotment of guns, shot, and shell, at Woolwich Arsenal, and sailed for Gibraltar ; and the sailing transport Arab commenced shipping a large provision of powder and ammunition from the floating-magazine in the river for Malta and Corfu.

In consequence of the heavy outstanding orders for the supply of laboratory stores required for early despatch to the home and foreign star ions where battery and siege guns have been distributed in large numbers, the laboratory department of Wool wich have considerably augmented their establish ment, the number of hands at present employed amounting to about 3,000 men and boys in that department alone. The following regulations were yesterday issued with reference to the forming of small-arm cartridges : " 1. The most attentive and well-conducted boys are to be placed at tables apart from the rest. 2. A. card, with the number and name of the boy, is to be fixed in a conspicuous position on the table oppo site to his seat, and upon this card is to be marked, in pencil, the number of cartridges formed by him in the previous week. 3. Each boy must form at least 50 cartridges per hour, and no boy will 139 allowed to leave the department until he has per formed this task. 4. If the whole number of cart ridges according to this rate be not completed in the week the boy will be discharged, unless a satis factory reason is given for the deficiency. 5.

Sandham, Director of the Royal Engineer establishment. Captain Norton, who conducted the experiments, assisted by a sergeant of the Royal Engineers, exhi bited the effects of his liquid fire shells when fired from the ordinary Lancaster rifled muskets, and also from the breech loading rifle, th e c h arge of powder in each case being exceedingly small. Capt. Norton discharged several of his shells at the various objects to be set on fire, igniting by means of his liquid fire shells a quantity of matting, and also a plank of wood. He also exhibited his fric tional igniting bolt, or hand grenade, which, by The most extensive alterations and improvements have recently been carried out, and are also in pro gress at Shoeburyness, to afford increased facilities for the gunnery exercise of the Royal Artillery, and for experiments. A larger area has been ob tained for the practice range, which is now unpre cedented in extent, and will be invaluable to the service, when the Armstrong gun is fully intro duced, as the Butts at Woolwich Arsenal have not sufficient range for the practice of this weapon. The new barracks at the station named are now fast progressing. A series Of . expertnients haie recently been car ried out by Mr, F. A. Abel, of the Ordnance Select Committee, and Chemist to the Laboratory De partment of Woolwich Arsenal, for the purpose of ascertaining the practicability of superseding the voltaic battery by an improved magnetic agency for firing,gunpowder.
