By F. B. COURTENAY, And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure'of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment. of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power hi the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of!pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and profeissional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

Some delay was occasioned, and one false stars was made, in which the Glenluce colt overpowered his rider, and ran towards Mr. Bottom's farm. He then turned towards the New Stand, passed over the_courseond made towards the town: On reaching . the top stand he came into collision with some posts which have been recently erected in most dangerous positions, and fell, injuring himself severely. The race admits of little description, for Actaeon took up the running after going about 50 yards, and ran home an easy winner by a length; 'half a length between the se cond and third ; Merry May was fourth, a length off; Croquemitaine and Quick March were next.

FIFTEEN SHIPS TO THE MILE.—The rapidity with which gigantic vessels have been built within the last few years is perfectly astonishing. It is not so long since the line-of-battle ship Pennsylvania was quite a lucrative " show " to the city of Norfolk, thousands going from all sections to look at her ; then the Great Britain was for a while the wonder of the world ; and the Great Republic, Niagara, and Himalaya each, from its huge proportions, attracted public attention for a while. The Journal of Commerce has constructed a brief table, giving the princi pal dimensions of 15 of the largest vessels. Placed in line, even without bowsprits, they could cover a space of one mile in length. Subjoined are the names :---Great Eastern, 580 feet, 19,000 tons ; Adriatic, 390 feet, about 3,500 tons ; Niagara, 375 feet, 4,580 tons ; Himalaya, 360 feet, 5,000 tons ; Duke of Wellington, 240 feet, 2,400 tons ; General Admiral, 325 feet, 6,000 tons ; Orlando (recently launched for the British navy), 337 feet, 3,727 tons ; Atrato, 336 feet, 3,476 tons ; Royal Charter (running " inside 60 days " from Liverpool to Melbourne), 306 feet, 2,720 tons ; Great Republic, 302 feet, 3,356 tons ; Pennsylvania, 300 feet, 3,241 tons ; Arabia, 300 feet, 2,402 tons ; Great Britain, 274 feet, 3,500 tons; Asia, 280 feet, 2,226 tons—total, 5,181 feet, 68,428 tons.—Boston (U. S.) Courier. REPORTED SHIPWRECK AND GREAT Loss OF LlFE.—Telegraphic advicis received yesterday in anticipa- Von of the coming Australian mail report the total loss, near Cape Northumberland, on the 6th of August, of the screw steamer Ardmillan (supposed to be Admilla), from Adelaide, whereby no fewer than 87 lives were lost, only 25 persons being saved. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.--A frightful accident oc curred on Tuesday on board the screw steamer Tweedside, Capt. Suckling, bound for Antwerp and Cronstadt, lying at Gravesend. As the anchor was being let go something was wrong with the cable, and the carpenter, Alexander Henry, jumped below to rectify it, when the cable surged, and carried the poor fellow with it nine times round the windlass, grinding him to pieces, so that his remains had to be taken ashore in a bag. Another of the crew had his leg broken, and amputation was immediately resorted to. Henry leaves a widow and three young children. The freedom of the City of Aberdeen was on Wednesday afternoon presented to Lord John Rus sell in the new Music-hall. The assembly at the ceremony numbered_ considerably upwards of two thousand, including a large number of ladies. The LORD PROVOST (Webster) having in a brief speech presented the burgess-ticket to the youngest citizen, the distinguished guest of the evening, Lord JOIIN RUSSELL came forward, bearing the badge of citizenship on his head, amid great cheering. Having acknowledged the honour con ferred upon him, his lordship dwelt at considerable length on the question of reform. He said that the true principle which should guide us in an amendment of the law of the repre sentation of the people should be the choosing of the fittest individuals in the community for the privilege of the suffrage—that this principle could be applied without endangering the stability of our time-honoured institutions. Some men indulge?, in the idea of a reorganisation of our political system, but he could not pretend to have either thP, capacity or the strength to undertake such a task. His lordship then spoke as follows :—Having said thus much upon these general principles, I must pass to that subject to which the Lord Provost has truly said my attention must • at this moment be chiefly directed. It is my duty—a duty exceedingly hon onrable, but at the same time exceedingly onerous —to take charge and give advice to her Majesty upon the foreign affairs of this country. Well now, gentlemen, I am not going to state, either upon this or upon a domestic subject, anything of a party nature ; because, with ' , regard to the gene ral principles, upon which our foreign affairs should be conducted; I listened last year to a speech of Lord Derby, then Prime Minister, in the Mansion- House, London, and there was nothing in that speech from which I found it necessary to differ. I believe that our affairs must always be conducted with due regard to.the rights and independence of foreign nations ; that the rule of doing as we would be done by is not only a maxim of Christian morality, but the rule of international conduct. " (Cheers.) But, when we apply such 'rules, we find constitu tionally that having relations in every quarter of the globe, there cannot fail to come from time to time discussions and disputes, and even, it may be, collisions with other nations. Now, gentlemen, upon such occasions I think it is very necessary for us to be temperate, to be patient, hut at the same time not to do anything which should diminish the feeling of self-respect which a nation, as well as an individual, ought to maintain. (Cheers.) In short, if we forbear, our forbearance should always be the forbearance of strength, and - not the shrinking of weakness. (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, there is a question on which I will venture to touch before I conchide, because, though not one in which we have taken an immediate part, it is one in which I think evey Briton must ,take a deep in terest—l allude to that which has taken place, and ' is taking place, in Italy. (Cheers.) You will per mit me to refer to events of some time 'back; but 1 which area. clue to that which are happening at the present moment. For centuries the Italian people—a people rich both in commerce and agri culture—have, been subject to foreign Powers— sometimes to the Germans, sometimes the French. About 60 years ago a general, full of youth, full of genius, full of capacity of every kind, both for war and for civil affairs, entered Italy, and declared that he came to give liberty to that people. The Italian people were delighted—the whole of Lombardy was sin a state of joy and ecstacy ; and although his warlike operations were successful, yet for a time it came to be that the French Government was the Government of Italy, and in 1814 the people of Lombardy were averse to that foreign dominion, and earnestly desired a change. They applied to an English general, Lord William Bentinck, as honest a lover of liberty as ever existed ; they applied to him, and they applied afterwards to the English Minister, to learn what was to be their fate. The English Minister told them that their fate was very well settled—that the Emperor of Austria had been kind enough to declare that he would take charge of Lombardy ; and therefore he, the English Minister, had only to refer them to the Austrian Minister. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) Well, they have had this new Government up to 1859—t0 the present, time—and evei y yeaN t they became more and more averse to it. Wellf lam not saying whether they werdjttstifted in their dis like of the French Government or of the lat. Aus trian Government—l am only telling you what was the fact known to you all—no more. Well, it had occurred some ten or twelve years ago to some men of very ardent hopes and great literary talents, that these foreign nations had not succeeded in attain ing the affections or confidence of the Italians— that the Italians might as well govern Italy themselves. It was a new notion, but not a very unnatural one. In 1848-49 they made the attempt. Unfortunately they succeeded so ill that they gave people a great distrust of their power of self-government ; hut the Emperor of the French, having conquered Lombardy in the present year, made a wise and magnanimous decla ration that he did not go to conquer Lombardy for himself, but that the Italians should be the free citizens of a great country. The Italians, not only in Lombardy, but in Tuscany, Mogena, and Parma, have acted upon this declaration, and they have made temporary and provisional Governments for themselves, declaring that they wish hereafter to be the free citizens of a great country. (Applause.) Well, I ask, has there been any mischief produced ? Because I think, with regard to this matter of states and nations regulating their own Government, it is not very different from that of a man—say in this city of Aberdeen—regulating his own house. (Ap plause and a laugh.) But, at the same time, it is possible that a man may manage his house in such a way as to be a great nuisance to his neighbours. (Laughter.) For instance, he may start a pyro technic manufactory in his house, making experi ments to try his skill, and, it may be, sending up sky-rockets into the air every evening in order to see the effect. This would not seem to be agreeable, because other householders might conceive That their houses might be set on fire. Instead of wishing to encourage the gentleman to do whatever he pleases in his own house, the Lord Provost might be called on to interfere with that gentleman because he was likely to set fire to the houses ot his neighbours. (Laughter.) But has anything of that sert occurred in Italy ? Can any man say there is such a disturb ance of order at Milan, Modena, or Florence, that the neighbours, the Austrians, or other neighbours, are called upon to interfere. (Cheers.) Upon the contrary, the conduct of this people, just emanci pated, who have been subject to foreign rule for many years, who might have been expected to burst into some excess—possibly some outrage against the persons who are most odious to them— they have conducted their matters with perfect order—with such order as if they had been the citizens of a country which had long been free. (Cheers.) Well then gentlemen, I say, though we can claim no credit for having enabled those people to assert their freedom—although we have been bystanders, and I think for very good and sufficient reasons, have taken no part in the hostilities of this s . .ring ; yet, I think we are bound to say, we do say, and we have said that, against any interference of foreign force, to prevent these people having their own government, and conduct ing their affairs as they like, we do most loudly and solemnly protest—(loud cheers).-and, therefore, gentlemen, be the terms of the treaty now nego tiated what they may—if, hereafter, consequent upon that treaty, there shall be that of which you have heard, no doubt, and which has been fre quently talked of, if there shall be a Congress of the Powers of Europe—if it shall be the wish of those Powers which have taken part in those hostilities that in the final settlement of Italy and the ac knowledgment of the different States belonging to it, the other Powers of Europe should take part in these consultations, we might assist only upon one condition, namely, that with respect to using foreign force in order to compel fulfilment of the conditions of peace, whatever they may be, so as not to inter fere with the right of the people of this country to manage their own concerns—that if such should be the object, or may be the result of such language, England may stand apart and take no concern. (Loud applause.) But, gentlemen, I feel convinced, and such is the language, not of one of those Powers, but of both those Powers, that whatever their opi nions may be as to what has taken place—and the Austrian Government cannot be expected to approve of the resolution in Modena and Tuscany—yet I believe neither Power has any intention to interfere by force with the decision of those peoples. I think it a matter of great importance that it should be so, because that system—which is rather disguised than expressed by the phrase, the balance of power—that system means that the different States shall be inde pendent; that they shall manage their own concerns; and that no one State should have the preponder• ance in Europe, or dictate what should be the constitution, or what 'should be the internal Government of the rest. And happy as we are in this country in independence long acquired, it is not only our interest, but I think it must be, TIIE STRIKE. Yesterday evening the negotiations at the Free masons' Tavern between [the committee of the master builderrs and the deputation from the ope rative masons, which had lasted two days, was brought to a termination, unfortunately without any satisfactory result in the way of a re conciliation; and the depforable — Di:each between the employers and the employed, from circum stances which transpired late last night after the masters had arrived at a decision, it is feared be comes from this moment wider and deeper than before. Judging.from the temper shown by the men at a crowded meeting held yesterday evening, it would seem that the very failure of the attempt at media tion, emanating, as the effort did, from the side of the operatives is calculated the m or e t o e mbitter the existing alienation ; and certain it is, from reso lutions passed at that meeting with no ordinary de gree of enthusiasm and acclamation, that hencefor ward the masters will have to maintain the strug gle, not, is until now, with the Paviors' Arms Conference alone, whose authority they have re cently repudiated, but with a formidable trade con federacy, numbering at least 10,000 men spread all over the country, who will probably bring into play all the elaborate machinery and the esprit de corps of a secret society which has been silently and gra dually organized during a quarter of a century and more, partly for waging a conflict of this kind in the last resource in the interest of labour against capital. Up to this point in the struggle the Lon don operative masons on strike have never been supported out of the funds of their generol society extending all over the country, for the reason, prin cipally, that the society considered the nine hours' movement hopeless and untenable from the first, and refused to countenance it. But the effort at reconciliation having failed, and the cause of quar rel being, not now the nine hours' question, but that of the declaration, with a new element of strife imported into it—namely, the demand on the part of the masters, that they will revise obnoxious portions of their trade customs and regulations, the probability 'is that the masons' society will now re cognize the strike as what they call a " legal " one —that is, a strike which they will countenance — and apply their funds in aid of the members of their craft engaged in it. In that event, they will be bound -by their laws to pay 10s. a-week at least to every man on strike, and by making a voluntary levy ::upon themselves of only 6d. a-day ;throughnut the whole society, which they occasionally do in an emergency, they can at any time raise £1,500 a week. It follows, there fore, with these facilities at their command for pro viding the sinews of war, that they will be in a positioi to prolong the strike for an indefinite period of time so far as they are concerned. To this melancholy pass have things at last been brought. The circumstances attending the conference yes terday and Wednesday at the Freemasons' Tavern may be briefly related,__lL took...place by appoint ment UatWeen a sub-committee of masters, consist ing of Messrs. Plucknett, Myers, Jay, Piper, Kelk, G. Smith, Lawrence, and Rigby, on the one hand, and a deputation from the operative masons, com posed of Messrs. Harnott, Northam, Perham, and Salter on the other. The deputation explained the opinion of the masons towards the Conference ; that they had formally directed their delegate, Mr. Grey, to withdraw from that body ; and that they were thoroughly prepared to renounce the nine hours' question at the present time, and to resume work as heretofore previous to the lock-out. The whole subject of the nine hours' movement and the declaration was discussed at length ; each member of ,the deputation frankly stated his objections ; the masters explained their views, and the deputation withdrew to consider the matter. They then handed in a paper very similar to their letter of the 23d inst., published in our impression of Wednesday, and which letter stated in effect that they would resume work of ten hours a-day provided the mas ters withdrew the declaration, and that they would discuss with the masters auy grievance of which they complained. The committee expressed their unanimous dissatisfaction with the proposition of the deputation and urged the necessity for a revi sion of the masons' laws and bylaws. The deputa tion suggested that the committee should offer an alternative to the declaration. The committee ex plained that they had no power to make any defi nite proposition, being simply a sub=committee " to inquire and report," blit, as the deputation desired it, the committee would confer on the subject. On this explanation the deputation again withdrew, and the committee agreed upon the following sug gestion as a basis for negotiation : " To revise such rules and bylaws, to discontinue such practices in so far as they affect the employers and opera tives within the metropolitan postal district as shall be de clared by the President of the Board of Trade, or any re tired Judge of her Majesty l s Courts of 'Westminster, to be contrary to the spirit of the law of the land." With that the conference adjourned on Wednes day evening, and the deputation promised to bring the masters' suggestion before a meeting of London masons convened yesterday morning for the pur pose, and to-communicate the result forthwith. Yesterday a letter was received from the deputa tion informing the Central Association of Master Builders that at a general meeting of the operative masons of London, held that morning, the folowing resolution had been passed : " That, after hearing the report of the deputation, this meeting is of opinion that the suggefition for the adjust ment of differences has no reference to the dispute in ques tion, and that the operative masons wish to convey to the Central Association of Master' Builders that they intend to adhere to the decision contained in their letter of the 23d inst." The executive committee of the Central Associa tion met yesterday at the Freemasons Tavern ; the whole subject was discussed at length with a full attendance, and the following resolution was passed, and transmitted immediately to the masons, for another meeting of their body, to be held that evening : " That the masons' deputation be informed that the Cen tral Association consider that the most practicable method of arriving at an adjustment of differences would be the re-' vision of such rules and'bylaws in so far as they affect the employers and employed within the metropolitan postal district as shall be considered by some eminent impartial authority to be contrary to the spirit of the law of the land ; and that, in particular, all rules and practices should be re • moved which interfere with the freedom of workmen, or prevent members of Trades' Unions from working with other workmen." Last night, accordingly, the operative masons met in great force at *VVilcocke's-room, in the West minster-road, to hear the result of the interview with the masters. The members of the deputation were present and all the leading men of the body —" Brother" Joseph ' Turner acting as chairman. Mr. Harnott, the head of the deputation, related in detail the circumstances connected with the inter view, of which a summary has been given above. Having done that, he said he should leave the matter in the hands of the body at large. He be lieN ed that the declaration, once established in Lon don, would soon be extended over 'the whole coun try. He was prepared' to return to the Central Committee of Masons, and to lay the whole of the circumstances before the society at large. He knew well that the declaration would not be confined, as at present, within the metropolitan postal district, but would be introduced gradually over the whole country, and the working men at large would have to share alike in the degradation. It behoved them, therefore, welr to consider what they ought to do. It was by the masons that this great question was to be decided. The nine hours question had never taken well with the working classes in the coun try ; it had been confined to London ; but the de claration had aroused the indignation of working men throughout the kingdom. Let the metropo litan masons continue to resist that document; and their society at large would support them. There was a time for all things, and the moment selected for the nine hours agitation was inopportune. His WILLIAM PERHAM moted a resolution, stating that the proposition of the master huildera, that the rules and bye4aws of the 'Operative Stonemasons' Society should be revised and altered, was one which the London masons, as a body, could not entertain, inasmuch as the laws referred to had been established for the regiilatiun of the entire body of stonemasons in the United Kingdom, and could not be altered by any section of that body. He contended that this becaliae now a society ques tion, for the masters' resolution struck at the very root of the Masons' Trade Association, and if they succeeded the whole of the Trades' Societies through out the Country would be jeopardised,' They (the masons) must be up and doing, like the employers, who were now bringing men from the country. The cleputation had, told the masters that dap that the =wins* would never alter their laws. Sidney Smith asked then), in the course. of the interview, if, providing the declaration was withdrawn, they would consent to work with men who had adopted it. They told him, in reply, that was a question for them (the society men) to decide after the mas ters had given up the document. Palaver was not now what the masons wanted ; they must be up and doing; their position must be laid before the coun try befOre 24 hours passed, for, having eat,connec tion with the Conftrences-they would haVW - no*ktifi: fight this battle single-haided. The resolution was seconded by " Brother" GAR RETT. Mr. PACEY moved an amendment , pledging the meeting to continue the present agitation in con nection with the other trades until " the odious document" was withdrawn, and the nine hours' agitation was brought to a successful issue. The original resolution, after some discussion, in which Messrs. Ward, Pope, Salter, and Grey, ope rative masons, took part, was put and carried with acclamation. A resolution, moved by G. RoßsoN, was also carried unanimously, pledging the London masons who were now in work to make a levy on them selves of 6d. a day each during the strike, and until the declaration was withdrawn, such levy to be binding upon all masons, whether society or non society men. The meeting then separated. THE ITALIAN QUESTIQN. At last the oracle has spoken.. After a preter natural silence of several weeks, tbe Potentate whose will sways the destinies of Europe has pro nounced on the solemn question whether a French Prince is to succeed the late Austrian satraps in the government of Central Italy. The manifesto in the Illiniteur will be a severe blow to the hopes of Napoleon Jerome's partisans. That the 'Prince has a party who have worked bard to create a throne to place him on is beyond a doubt, and it would be too great confidence in human virtue to believe that the Imperial cousin himself has been without some hope of more exalted rank, or has been perfectly free from all interference in the mat ter. Indeed, the solution of the Italian difficulty, by placing the. Prince on the throne of Tuscany, Modena, and Parma, has been likely enougk ever since the Italians showed such antipathy to their fugitive rulers, and the indignation of the world was so much excited by the spectacle of an un necessary war ending in an incomplete and almost inglorious peace. We have not the smallest doubt that Napoleon 111., when he agreed to conditions of peace at Villafranca, was perfectly sincere in his de termination to restore the Dukes. What may have been the secret springs of action which produced this astonishing compromise no man can say. The stubliorn resistance of the Ajstrians, the strength of the fortresses, the - unconcealed diSpleasure of England, the open hoStility of Oermany, even: personal weariness and the intense heat, of the weather, may have bad something - to do with it. But from all we learnt of this event it would seem that the French Emperor was really and truly de sirous to be quit of the war, and that he accepted the restoration of the Dukes as he accepted - the re tention by Austria of the fortresses and of Venice— because the Kaiser would not yield on these points. Still there seems much reason to suspect that the plan of providing a throne for Prince Napoleon had been considered prior to the war. It is well known that from the earliest period of the year—from the time when the Emperor made his hasty address' to M. Hubner—the Prince was the open and avowed champion of the war. His partisans were loud on the necessity of trampling on the treaties of 1815 ; of establishing the nationality of Italy, or rather of driving out the Austrians, for it did - not appear whether delivered Italy was to be left entirely to herself. Then came the hasty marriage between the Prince and the daughter of Victor Emmanuel. It is idle to say that there was nothing personal in this alliance, that the Prince only represented France, and that the union was only a drawing closer of the bonds which linked together the poli cies of the Emperor and the King. Neither Sove reigns nor States in the present day require these family ties to insure the stability of alliances which are cemented by a common, interest. France and Sardinia would have equally fought side by side had neither Napoleon Jerome nor Clotilde ever existed; and we doubt whether one Frenchman or Sardinian in ten thousand ever thinks on the marriage as in any way in creasing the friendship of the two nations. But to Prince Napoleon himself the advantages were obvious. By marriage with an Italian Princess he became, according to the easy code of Royal natu ralization, an Italian sufficiently to govern any part of the Peninsula which might be i n search of a Sovereign. At the time it will be remembered that the future elevation of the husband of Princess Clotilde was hardly doubted, and the only question was whether Lombardy and Venetia were to be united under his sceptre, or whether his throne was to be placed on the banks of the Arno. We do not quote the gossip of six months since in the belief that it indicated any settled policy in the mind of the Emperor; but every one conversant with modern political society knows that secrets are very badly kept, and that, whether in English clubs or Parisian drawing-rooms, a certain approximation to the de signs of men in authority is apt to be" arrived at. That at the beginning of the war an Italian settle ment for Prince Napoleon was contemplated is as certain as most facts connected with the affair. Then his Imperial Highness, armed with procla mations and beaming with smiles, was sent to Tus-' cany to lead the ardent volunteers of that fair land to victory and glory. He had an independent corps, with which he was to revolutionize the terri tory of the petty Princes, and perhaps not to spare the holy possessions of the Pope. He it was who was to attack the Austrians on their left flank, and, crossing the Po far lower down than the French armies could attain, was to insure the retreat of the enemy. But, unfortunately for the adventurous scion of Im perialism, the enemy gave way too easily. Fortune favours the bold, and Napoleon Jerome was so very bold that fortune favoured him rather too much. The Austrians would not stay for the Prince and his corps and his noble volunteers, to beat them. They abandoned Pavia and Piacenza and all the places which had been the standing menaces of Sar dinia and the Duchies for 40 years. They retreated on their fortresses, they left the Legations, they blew up their works at Ancona, and by the time the Prince had worked himself up to the proper pitch of martial ardour there was no enemy to fight. He did not even " assist" at Magenta or Solferino. The separate corps remained in embryo, the Tus cans and Modenese have never had any fighting as yet, and the groat war of 1859 passed over with out the Prince's name receiving any additional lustre. Still the Prince had not lost all chance. The Dukes had fled from Florence and Modena, and the poor Duchess of Parma was expelled by the subjects of her son. The interview at Villafranca might have been expected to end in some stipu lation in favour of the cousin who would have fought so bravely, and who only wanted an opportunity; but at Villafrance Napoleon Jerome was never mentioned, or was mentioned only to be put aside. The Dukes were to be restored, if not by French and Australian bayonets, at least by the advice and moral suasion of the two Emperors. What chance, then, was there for the Prince ? But soon it appeared that the Tus cans and their countrymen would not have their fugitives back at all, and that they were deter mined to place a throne at the disposal of some worthy aspirant. The hopes of the Palais Royal again rose high. Who so likely to be chosen for the throne of Central Italy as the Prince who went out to fight for it ? But again fortune frowned. The Italians, with that want of consideration and gratitude which distinguishes them, still clung to the notion of an united Italy. They would have nothing to say to a French Prince, but unanimously A paper, of which the following-is the substance, was read by Mr.' John Smith, of the Perth Aca , demy, at the meeting of the British Association in Aberdeen. We are Induced,,from the scientific im portance of .the paper, as well as the local associa tions of its long highly" . respected author, to detach it fium our necessarily meagre abstract of the general proceedings of the Association, and give it the prominence we now do. It will be seen by this short report of the abstract of the theory propounded by Mr. Smith,-that it overturns all our former ideas on thesu - bject of lighi, , Lid must intro duce a new method of analysis in several departments of science. No small pride, we doubt not, will very generally be felt in this locality upon so important a scientific place being taken by one Of ourreitizens. We understand the doctrines propounded ,were re ceivedwith the most marked respect and attention by the learned auditors. readTa paper on the cause of colour, and Ili:kV it was produced. • He began by remarking that it was chiefly some experiments on light which he wished in the meantime to describe, and although the experiments originated from a new theory of light which he long reflected on he could not enter on the argunaents on which' it was founded, the - time allotted by:the association not being sufficient for so intricate a discussion. - He said that in attempting to explain certain na .tural phenomena, could not satisfy himself by ap plying the principles of either theory of light, that many natural phenomena indicated beats or vibra tionsna the luminous ether very different from what science thught., • That'is, that there were'gfeater in tervals. between them than., Newton had demon strated, and scientific men believed. He. therefore endeavoured to contrive a machine whichshould be able to make as many revolutions or beats in a se cond as he considered the effeetivk 4ibratiOnS of light were repeated in a second of time, and ar gued that by certain contrivances to produce light and shade in alternate vibrations he should pro• duce colour. It is rather difficult to give a popular idea of, what Mr. Smith meant here. But it may be expressed in this way ; light he considered as mo tion, darkness or shadow he consideredas no notion. No motion, he said, might - be represented by any thing dark, as lamp black, or black velvet ; white, by anything which is ,pnrel): white, as white paper, one of the best tests of what is called white. Having described wha h sh Odd consider as white or motion, and what as shadow.or black or no motion, his object was to prove that colour is illuminated shadow: Now, the remarkable part of this proposition which he set himself to prove is, .that it is the very con verse of Newton °s proposition, for Newton says, that "colour is not produced by the reflections or light on the confines of shadow, as the ancients con ceived." Newton endeavoured to prove his proposi tion by experimenting with the prism, an instru ment which Mr. Smith said was imperfectly under-. stood, and consequently could not be considered an analytical instrument, but as light was not refracted in the substance which he used to represent his white raY, there would'be no difficulty with it. He said that his instrument was made to perform what he considered nature performed by refraction, viz., to throw light on shadow, using these terms as a popular illustration of what was meant. Having given something as near as this, as we can remem ber of what he said was the basis of his experiments, he then described several of his experiments, and exhibited them to the section. One. of his.experiments which he showed was a disc of Bristol board with severarrings on it—part of each ring was painted black—when put in mn tion it was completely coloured, there was neither black nor white, but blues, purples, and greens. Another white figure was of a form not easily de scribed in a paper, but it was a sort of spiral figure cut out of Bristol board with a knife, and when made to revolve the rings were beautiful in the ex treme, yellow outside, next ring rich purple, next green, and so on, thus demonstrating that refrac tion does not separate a compound substance called light into a great many simple substances, such as red, yellow, orange, green, blue, !violet, and purple, as is usually taught. and as Newton thought he had demonstrated, but that it is a simple uncom pounded substance. It was only a number of ex periments such as these that Mr. Smith was able to exhibit to the section for want of time and want of light, but he was ' prepared to exhibit the phenomena of coloured media, that is to show how, by the motion of a shadow between the eye and a white cloud all the colours of the rainbow could be produced. There was another set of expe riments which he seemed to consider as very effec tive, and especially as being quite tangible . and easily described, hut requiring strong sunshine to show them. This was to cast a shadow on a white wall or on a piece of paper of a particular figure, so as to produce alternate heats of light and shadow when put in revolution. The figure became coloured of different shades, and because these could be seen on the wall, like the spectrum through the prism, he called them spectra by reflection. There were a great many other experiments which he had no time even to enumerate, much less. to describe, but he showed some of the figures to produce the phenomena which are per ceived when looking through transparent solids. From these • experiments he deduced a 'very neat and a very elegant, besides being a quite new, and original explanation of the phenomena of refrac tion through the' ' This he did by drawing the figure of a prism on a black board, and trac ing the ray to its origin, and explaining the changes which it underwent, but which cannot well be described so as to be understood without a dia gram. He concluded in these' words nearly—Remark able as these experiments are, they are not more re markable than the results they lead to. They prove the homogeneity of the ether. They prove the undulatory hypothesis, but oppose the undulatory theory. They enable us to dispense with the different re frangibilities of the rays of light, ES taught by Newton. They remove .the necessity for the supposition of different lengths of waves or of a disposition in matter to produce waves of different lengths. They help to explain many of the phenomena of what is called the polarisation of light. They give a new explanation of prismatic refrac tion, and explain in a plain and simple manner many very intere3ting natural phenomena. Startling, he said, as these conclusions are, to those who are conversant with the subject of light, he thought he was perfectly warranted in drawing them from his experiments.—Perthshire Courier. THE DIFFICULTIES BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND PERU.—A correspondent of the New York Herald, writing from Washington, Sept. 1 1 , says :—" Our diffi culties with the Government of Peru, growing out of the seizure of the Lizzie Thompson and other American ships, has had the earliest consideration of the President and the Secretary of State during the past week, and no doubt stringent measures will be adopted to enforce our claims against Peru. It will be recollected that when our Minister at Peru demanded indemnity for the seizure and confisca tion of those ships, President Castilla agreed to refer the matter to Washington, and abide by the decision of our Government. This Government, after a fall investigation of the subject, decided that the claim presented by our Minister was perfectly just and proper, and directed him to demand its immediate payment. But President Castilla p erem ptorily refuses to pay, and therefore it becomes neces. sary for our Goverment to adopt very decided measures towards Peru ; and I have every reason to believe that the next steamer will take out such instructions to Minister Clay and the commanding officer of the United States Pacific naval squadron as to satisfy President Castilla that the American Government is not to be trifled with." --- TnE GREAT- E AS TERN.—The accident which has happened to the Great Eastern in uo way interferes with the general question of her ultimate success. For the mo ment it may depress her interests, but the reaction will inevitably follow, and the ship will be estimated according to her own merits. The cause of the accident—the mere turning of a tap the wrong way, probably by some bungling workman —in no way tends to destroy ultimate confidence in the ship herself ; not even by implying that she is toe large to have her internal affairs administered properly— although there are people abiurd enqng h to suppose that mere size can put a ship beyond the contrtll bT man's genius and skill.
