CITY, Two o'CLocx. The markets for foreign and colonial produce during the last few days have been exceedingly inactive. In tea the transactions have been to a very limited extent, at about previous rates. Sugar has been depressed, and the operations have been Confined exclusively to parcels for home consump tion. In the Refined Market scarcely any business has been done, and prices show a downward move ment. Coffee also continues in very limited request, and no change can be reported in values. Rice has been flat, lower rates being current for all descrip tions. In fruit a steady business has been done, and good qualities of new currants sell at fall quo tations. Saltpetre is steady, but the dealings have been unimportant. Tallow has exhibited rather more activity. The advices from St. Petersburg announcing a slight frost, have caused a slight advance there, and an upward tendency is ex hibited here in consequence. The steamer La Plata, which sails to-day for the West Indies, takes out £5,046 in gold. There is a good demand for silver for shipment to the East, and the steamer which sails on the 4 th inst, is expected to take out a larger sum than for some time past. The price of bars, for this mail, has advanced to ss. led., and dollars to ss. 2d. 4d. The demand for money is rather more active ° wing to the preparations in progress for the com mercial bills due on Thursday, the 4th inst. No alteration, however, has taken place in the terms of discount, although the supply of bills is rather larger. The ftllowing memorandum is from the Com• puttee of Mexican Bondholders : The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have received advices from Mr. Whitehead, dated Mexico, the 3d October, nth a copy of a letter, dated 19th September, sent by way of the United States, the original of which has not yet reached them. The agents at Vera Cruz had sent Mr. Whitehead 33,318 dollars in short bills on Mexico, received from the merchants in payment of duty bill 8 . The question of the expens es en t a il e d on the bondholders by taking the payment in this way W as still under discussion. Mr. Whitehead will forward this money as soon as there shall be a conducta from the capital to Vera Cruz. In politics the state of affairs had not materially altered. The Government troops Under General Casanova, at Guadalajara, had, after suffer ing a defeat, pronounced, and shot their officers. On the other hand, General Vidarri had abandoned San Luis Potosi without a blow, and had since, according to a tel egram from Queretaro, been completely routed by the forces of the Government under General Miramon. It was said that on prop er ty o f th e clergy to the amount of 700,000 dols. the Government was about to receive a loan of some 500,000 dols. from the agent of a London house in Mexico. The efflux of specie during the next few weeks will probably absorb a large aggregate amount, W hich, in addition to the quantity already sent a way within the last fortnight, has led to some discussion in financial circles, relative to the in- Rilence the movement is likely to exert upon the course of the money market. It is among the time operators in speculative securities that the subject is most earnestly considered, and already the Bulls have exhibited unmistakeable symptoms of un easiness ; w hil e th e B ears, on t h e other hand, have b een encouraged to follow out their opinions as to the pr o b a bl e effect of the drain of gold to the con tinent. The markets, which were previously in a 11o st inacti ve state, h ave, consequently, assumed a still More discouraging appearance. The decline has not b een extensive, but a heavy and unsettled h eel ing pervades the several departments of the such as the public are accustomed to when so me great po li t i cal question is pending. the result to ' w hich, wheth er f or goo d or ev il, it i s i mposs ibl e at ion o foretell. Such has been the effect of the appro aealmost half a million sterling from the hecani daily movements reserve, which still exceeds 19 millions. the movements of specie at the Bank, and " "variation in the continental exchanges, are conse quently watched with a certain degree of n a h - I , l etY by th e s peculators, but among the general Who are still able to get their bills nego ated a fraction above 2s per cent., the question 48 scarcely become sufficiently important to arrest i tt ention.

Her Majesty's Gun-boat Staunch, off Te-plein Island, Aug. 4, 1858. Sir,—l have the honour to report for your Excellency's information the particulars of an engagement which took place this morning off the island Taon Pung, about 50 miles to the north of the port of Wanchon between her Majesty's gun-boat under my comman d and three piratical junks. At 8 a.m., whilst at anchor off that island, two Sampans came alongside with information that some piratical junks had attacked and plundered a village, &c., and were then rounding a neighbouring point. I immediately weighed, cleared for action and stood (under steam) towards four junks which had just then cleared the point, one flying an English ensign, a second a Portu guese, the other two Chinese flags. When we had closed within 200 yards the three largest junks opened a smart and effective fire on us, doing much damage aloft; and to pre vent injuring my boats, as I determined to take them by boarding, I deemed it prudent to lower and tow them astern. I then returned their fire w;th the Staunch's two howitzers, still closing with them ; but a s our l ong gun h a d been se n t on board H.M.S. Fury by your Excellency's orders, to ease the gunboat coming down the China Sea, during the typhoon season, our fire was comparatively feeble. I went ahead at full speed on to the largest junk, giving orders to lash her alongside us ; but the instant we touched such a shower of stinking pots and other combustible mat ter was thrown on board us, it was impo ss ibl e f or any per son to remain forward, or t o see through the dense smoke they occasioned. It was at this moment, I deeply regret to state, that Ed ward George, A. 8., who was actually engaged in lashing the junk alongside, having gallantly jumped on board her for that purpose, was cut to pieces, and his remains thrown overboard. The strong breeze favouring the junk, and a heavy swell making it difficult to latsh her, sho sheered off; and the Chinese in the meantime, having cut our boats adrift, and being close to the rocks, I backed astern, and having picked them up, I mounted the how itzers, which had been dismounted from the rapidity of my fire, and renewed the engagement, running a l ongs id e one and boarding, killing a great number of her crew, many of whom endeavoured to escape by jumping overboard, but only a small number reached the shore. Leaving this vessel in charge of Mr. Morice, the Second Master, and a party of men, I gave chase to a second in my gig, and having come up with her, I boarded and took possession, making prisoners of the only two living men on board, many having been killed, and few escaping byjump ing overboard. The third junk, in the meanwhile, having got some distance away, and not having more than five effective men left after the engagement, I deemed it prudent not to follow her among the numerous rocks and intricate passage she had taken, and being unable to spare any officers and men for the captured junks, I gave directions for them to be burnt, which was done. I should observe that, during the time Mr. Morice and the men whom I had left with him to burn the first junk, were performing this duty, a number of Sanpans pulled alongside, and endeavoured to recapture her, firing her long gun below where our people were lighting a fire. Fortunately it did no harm to them, but caused an explo sion, which killed from 20 to 30 Chinese. The fourth vessel, having been a capture made by the pirates, I released, having previously obtained a written statement to that effect. II have great pleasure in bringing to your Excellency's notice the admirable and gallant conduct of Mr. Morice, Second Master, the other officers and ship's company of the Staunch in this action, under the double disadvantage of a very reduced complement and armament, with these three junks, carrying a long 24-pounder gun amidships, and six broadside guns of smaller calibre, besides several mounted gingals. Charles Ansel], Quartermaster, I also wish particularly to bring to your notice, for his assistance in p o i n ti ng th e howitzers, and his gallant conduct throughout the engage ment. I enclose my list of casualties and defecis.—l have, &c., LEVESON WILDMAN, Lieutenant and Commander. P.S.—I should have mentioned that from the quantity of European knives, revolver cartridges and rifles, and the desperate resistance they made in keeping up a heavy fire, that Europeans must have been on board—the engagetuent having lasted five hours. Rear-Admiral Sir M. Seymour, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief. LONDON GAZETTE-(THIS EVENING.) WINDSOR, CASTLE, OCT. 29. This day had audience of her Majesty : His Excellency Mons. Musurus, Ambassador Extraordi nary and Plenipotentiary from the Sultan, to deliver a letter from his Sovereign ; Don Tomas Murphy, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the Mexican Republic, to deliver his credentials ; Don Xavier de Isturizy Montero, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the Queen of Spain, to deliver his credentials ; And Seior Jose Santiago Rodriguez, Envoy Extraordi nary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the Republic of Venezuela, to deliver his credentials; To which audiences they were respectively introduced by the Earl of Malmesbury, her Majesty's Principal Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs, BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, Nov. 1. The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received in formation, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, that with a view to facilitate navigation, the fol lowing measures have been adopted by the Russian Go vernment in respect to the transport of merchandise of Russian origin from ports in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azof, to those of the Baltic, and vice versa (with the excep tion of the port of Odessa, until it ceases to be a free port) except salt from the Crimea, and walnut wood from the Transcaucasian Provinces, in regard to which articles special regulations exist. Those of the articles which are charged with duties, on being exported to foreign countries, can only be transported on presentation at the custom house of exportation, of a gua rantee of two well-known Russian merchants (if the ex porter should be a member of one of the first two guilds) that, in case the goods should not be delivered at another Russian port, the export duty shall be paid by the exporter, without objection, unless in case of damage, the said guarantee to be restored, upon the re ceipt of the goods at the port of importation. The Export Custom-house is required to make known, upon every occasion the fact of the exportation of goods, to the Custom-house, at which it is intended to import such goods, stating their nature and quantity. In addition to this the Custom-howie seals should be placed upon mer chandise chargeable with export or import, duties; and on the exportation of wines or tooacco front the southern to the Baltic ports, two samples are to be taken, one of which, bearing the Custom-house seal, must accompany the mer chandise, and the other be retained at the cu s t om -h ouse o f exportation, and sealed with the seals of the C us t om -h ous e and that of exporter. If, on importation, the goods are ascertained to be iden tical with the samples, and bear the seals unbroken, they will be delivered without obstacle, but in other cases they will be treated as foreign merchandise.

Calcutta, at Hong Kong, Aug. 24. Sir,—l have the honour to transmit, to be laid before the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, a copy of a letter dated the 4th August, with its inclosures, from Lieutenant L. Wildman, commanding her Majesty's steam gunboat Staunch, reporting an attack on three pirate vessels, on his passage from Shanghae to Hong Kong, and the destruction of two of them with most of their crews. 2. Taking into consideration the great disparity of force opposed to the Staunch, and that the latter had only her two 24-pounder howitzers on board, I consider this gallant ac tion reflects great credit on Lieut. Wildman, bis officers, and limited complement--I have, &c., M. SEYMOUR, Rear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief. The Secretary of the Admiralty. Shari BRITISH POSSESSIONS. It ailways.

SPECIAL MEETING-THIS DAY. A general meeting of the shareholders in this company was held this day, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate. street. The chair was taken by H. T. Hope, Esq. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, announced that, in pursuance of a resolution of the court of directors, passed on the 19th day of October, the Eastern Steam Navi gation Company was, on the 20th day of October last, duly registered under the provisions of the Joint Stock Companies Acts 1856 and 1857, as a limited company, under the name of the Eastern Steam Navigation Company (limited), and that the present meeting was held to consider the propriety of dissolving the company, and the voluntary winding-up of its affairs under the provisions of the Joint Stock Companies Acts 1856 and 1857 ; and, if a resolution to that effect were passed, then to appoint a liquidator or liquidators under the said act to wind up the said com pany, and also to authorise the liquidator or liquidators so appointed, in the event of his or their selling the ship be longing to the said company to a registered company called " The Great Ship Company (Limited)," to receive in com pensation or part compensation for such sale shares in the said " Great Ship Company (Limited)," for distribution amongst the shareholders in the Eastern Steam Navigation Company (Limited), and to enter into any other arrange ment whereby the shareholders in the Eastern Steam Navigation Company (Limited) may, in lieu of cash or shares, or in addition thereto, partici pate in the profits of, or receive any other benefit from, the said Great Ship Company (Limited). It was obvious from the unfinished state of the ship that its purchase and completion could only be effected on terms likely to be satisfactory through the instrumentality of a new company, or an arrangement embracing a partial pay ment in shares, affording a preference on the issue of shares to the proprietors of this company; and, with this consi deration in view, the directors and the committee of co operation, after a careful consideration of several proposals, have arrived at the conclusion that the proposal of the Great Ship Company Limited for the purchase of the vessel was the only one which they could recommend for the adoption of the proprietors. The principle of that proposal had al ready been communicated to the proprietors on behalf of the promoters of the Great Ship Company Limited, and the di rectors were fortified in the opinion they had formed as to this proposal by the fact of its having already received the written approval of a large majority of the proprietors. Several of the largest shareholders had already signified their approval of the proposed company; and a provisional board had been formed for carrying its object into effect. It is proposed to exchange five shares in the new company for two shares in the old company ; but at the same time giving those of the existing shareholders who may wish to retire, the option of doing so, and of receiving their pro portion of the divisible assets. The working of the pro posed plan may be thus illustrated :—A holder of ten shares in the old company may avail himself of either of the following options :—He may exchange his shares for 25 shares in the new company, fully paid up—or, for 100 shares, ss. paid, subject to calls to the extent of 15s. per share, which would be his quota—or, for 50 shares, 10s. paid, subject to calls to the extont of 10s. per share. After a short discussion a resolution appointing T. Hope, Esq., E. L. Betts, Esq., Samuel Beal, Esq., M.P., and Mr. John Yates, liquidators, to wind up the old company was agreed to unanimously. The following resolution was agreed to :—" That the said liquidations be authorised in the event of their selling the ship to a registered company, called the Great Ship Com pany (Limited), to receive in compensation, or part com pensation, for such sale share in the said Great Ship Company (Limited) for distribution among the share holders in the said Eastern Steam Naviga tion Company (Limited), and to enter into any other arrangement whereby the shareholders in the Eastern Steam Navigation Company (Limited) may, in lieu of cash or shares in addition thereto, participate in the profit:of or receive :any other benefit from the said Great Ship Company (Limited)." A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the pro ceedings. MICHAELMAS TERM. To-day being the first day of Michaelmas term, the Lord Chancellor, according to ancient custom, entertained the judges at a sumptuous breakfast, at his residence in Eaton square. Amongst the company were Sir J. Romilly, Master of the Rolls ; Lord Campbell, Lord Chief Justice of Eng land; Sir F. Pollock, Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer; the Lords Justices Knight Bruce and Turner ; Sir Alex ander Cockburn, Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas; Vice-Chancellors Sir R. T. Kindersley, Sir J. Stuart, and Sir W. P. Wood ; Baron Watson, Justice Erle, Justice Byles, Baron Bramwell, Sir C. Cresswell, Judge Ordinary of the Court of Probate ; Justice Hill, Baron Channel, Justice Crowder, Baron Martin, Justice Coleridge, and a large attendance of the members of the bar, who have attained the rank of Queen's counsel and Sergeants at law. After breakfast the whole of the judges proceeded •in state to their respective courts in Westminster-hall, where a great number of persons had assembled to wit ness the arrival of the procession. THE REV. W. SMITH.—We have heard, upon what we consider to be very good authority, slays the Bristol Times, that this unhappy man, whose trial and con viction for the attack on Leach created so much sensation at the Gloucester Spring Assizes, died on Wednesday last, at Lewes, to which place he was removed, on his way to Bermuda, where it was intended he should spend the . term of his servitude. AN OwL's LARDER.—A few days since an owl's nest was taken upon the farm of Mr. Parker, Burnett's Farm, near this city, with three young ones in it. The luxurious and voracious habits of the owl may be imagined from the contents of this nest, which consists of two leve rets' one rabbit, three blackbirds, one thrush, and two la rge trout. They were all fresh, and had been apparently caught during the night..--Bath Journal. REPRESENTATION OF MANCHESTER.—Tw o new candidates are spoken of, one being Mr. T. Fai:b . w iss a a rd ed , a an nd a t d h d e re o s t s he s r om m e r m . o F n r ths ederi a . g ek o p p r e o e m l. isin .w g e t o believe r n ee: tlin: er , veb jo h nari o t. will be decided to-morrow morning whether M F • will stand. Dublin.—The "Adventures of Gerald Fitzgerald" are continued: they are narrated in a spirited man ner, and present some curious scenes of the French Revolution. Gerald encounters old friends with new faces when and where he least expects to find them. Among the most singular was the poor player he met with, and who recalled himself to his recollection as his former acquaintance the Vis count de Noe, " a part," he added, " which my ancestors have performed for some seven or eight centuries ; now I change my role every night !" " Outside a Playground" is a very sensible article on the miserable resorts of poor children, and the necessity of providing some more healthy places for them to recreate themselves, instead of wandering in the worst neighbourhoods as regards physical disadvantages and moral degradation. A paper on " Crinoline and Whales" presents some curious de tails, and contains some ludicrous remarks concern ing the present absurd fashion in ladies' dresses. " The Half Brothers" is a most painful story, which offers a striking example of the cruelty and base ness of practical jokes carried to an inordinate excess—how they form an excuse for those desti tute of principle and devoid of delicacy to indulge their unfeeling natures at the expense of the hap piness, welfare, and often the life of others. The peculiar cfrcumstances under which Henry Ashton met his death are very naturally described, and although the actual events that led to so sad a catas trophe may not be those of frequent occurrence, the most important part of the tale—its tragic con clusion—is only too often verified in actual life. " A 'Subterranean Adventure " is a very strange sketch, which is brought before us in a a striking manner. It is likely to engage atten• tion alike from its singularity and the impressive style which characterises its delineation. There is a mournful interest attached to the remarks on " The Works of the Rev. R. A. Vaughan," inas much as their gifted author is now no more. It is said that gratitude for what he has written is mingled with sorrow that his works are so few, compared with what they might have been. Some wise reflections are made on the evils that arise from over study, and the danger of undertaking more than the strength will enable to perform. It is observed "We would warn the student against a thriftless expenditure of his powers." "A Home Fancy" is the title of some graceful verses.

"Our Failures," by a Man chester Man, is an interesting paper on some of the topics of the day, but he speedily finds his subject extending to an alarming size when he treats of miscellaneous failures, and unsuccessful attempts in general matters. " Concerning Tidiness," is an en tertaining article "on an overlooked source of human content." The writer insists that much gloom and depression might be disposed of by vigorously setting to work to remedy all disorder and untidiness about personal matters, and he im proves on Sydney Smith's advice to a disconsolate lady, to have always a bright fire, a kettle on the hob, and a paper of sugar-plums on the mantel piece. The author observes, with truth, that at one time it was too much the fashion to suppose, that if outward things were comfortable, a person must needs be happy, whatever his mental uneasiness, but that now the pic ture is reversed, and the principle of " My Mind to me a Kingdom is" is carried too far.

Those who earnestly desire reform in such matters will find this paper repay perusal. Those who are con templating emigration to India will find many hints for their instruction in a paper entitled " The Colonisation Mania."

Blackwood.—There is an unusually long instal ment of " What will he do with it" in this number, which contains some important events. As the story approaches completion the interest deepens, and the different characters, who had been widely separated, appear about to meet together. The scene in which Jasper Losely confronts his deceptive associates is a most exciting one, and displays much of that graphic force of description and dramatic vividness of effect for which the author is so justly celebrated. The meeting between Waife and his erring son is touching in its mournful interest and the reader who laments over the sad story of the aged wanderer's life, feels relief and satisfaction in reading of the interview between him and Lionel Haughton, in which the latter declares the revela tion that had been made of his innocence, before those whom he had called friends in the bright days of the past. Some of the best passages in the work are certainly met with in the chapters now before us. " Edward Irving" is the subject of a very interesting article, which is written with vigour and ability. Notwithstanding the errors which darken his story, there is much that unde niably deserves notice and regard in the life of the remarkable man here mentioned. It is observed that his force lay in the singular truthfulness of his manner. " There was nothing marvellous in his doctrine, and his style was the noblest and most picturesque English. The piquancy of the spec tacle lay in this particular, that everybody gazing could see ho w the thoughts rose, how the fire burned, how the pulses of a giant nature beat." It is sad to trace the fitful career of this singularly gifted man, through the phases of a brilliant blaze of renown—when, bewildered by his dazzling visions, and his marvellous success, he fell into grievous errors, and underwent extreme anguish, till, as if by a prophetic feeling, he set off for the city in whose cathedral crypt he was to lie, " while the clouds gathered in ominous grandeur about the sun which was going down at noon." The story of " The Light on the Hearth" is concluded in a very satisfactory manner ; and, after the storms that had raged round the dwelling of Trevenna, and the enemies that had hovered round its threshold, it is pleasing to find that its household fires are not extinguished, but peace and prosperity shed their brightness on its inmates. In the remarks made on " Buckle's History of Civilisation," there appears some just criticism of that masterly production. There is great force in the arguments relating to the chapter on Religion, Literature, and Govern ment. It is impossible not to recognise the extreme excellence and beauty of the style of Mr. Buckle. Some eloquent passages are here cited, which speak for themselves ; and there is evident truth in the concludin,, remark met with, that " no book lays hold of the attention more powerfully, and few re ward it more amply." There is a treatise on " Cherbourg as a Port and Fortress," which will doubtless be acceptable to many. " Lord Canning's Reply to the Ellenborough Despatch" is the last subject that engages attention, and, without en tering into that vexed question with prejudice or acerbity, the writer of the article comments on some of the chief points with clearness and decision, and thus remarks concerning the futility of the vaunted policy of confiscation : " The proclamation has long since been treated as a dead letter. From the first it was modified by the Commis sioners, but of late it has been wholly discarded,—having been found as impracticable in working as it is unrighteous and tyrannical in spirit. So far from confiscating the whole rights in the soil of Oude, the agents of the Govern ment are now giving the very fullest effect to Lord Ellen borough's principles of moderation. Indeed, yielding to the force of circumstances, they now find they must carry out those principles, perhaps to the extreme. 'lt may be here remarked,' say Air Russell of the Times, writing on the 18th August, that no civil officer now regulates his conduct by Governor Canning's proclamation,' even as it was modified by the Commissioners ; and,' so much is the case otherwise, settlement-engagements for revenue have been made with chiefs who, so late as June last, attacked our police, and plundered their posts and villages!' So expired Lord Canning's proclamation. We wish the moral discredit of it could be as easily erased from the memory of the natives of India, and wiped from the fair escutcheon of British honour." family. The fair widow's duplicity and selfishnesf do not seem likely . thPl-14ipunished. Mr Dudley Costello's story of ' Faint Heart never won Fair Lady," also progresses, and tells us some wonderful events. Monkshood's " Mingle Mangle" gives us 13. portrait of Balzac, who, it is observed, was to French prose what Malherbe was to French poetry. One of his biographers says of him, that " he introduced a harmony and precision of style which were before unknown in French prose, and which acquired hills the name of the most eloquent writer of his time, and the reformer of the French language." An other eminent man receives a tribute, though his labours have not been repaid with the same ex tended reputation—Sievers, one of the most worthy of the statesmen of the reign of Catherine 11. of Russia. His memoirs have recently been published under a fearful-looking name at Leipsie, and will prove valuable to the historical student. " Some - of the - ways in which John Bull spends his Money," is the title of an amusing article which indicates: some of the domestic slavery which goes on among us, by which the Tares and penatcs of an establish ment are elevated into Molochs and Juggernauts, which demand human victims. The handsome house, the formal dinner party, and various other uncomfortable ways of spending money are satirised. as voluntary martyrdoms. The French Almanaclr.a for 1859 furnish a lively topic. Ancient hunt ing in Ireland is described with animation. The poetical contributions are not above mediocrity. Colburn's New Monthly.—This magazine opens with a criticism of " Carlyle's History of Frederick the Great," and ends with a paper on " Voltaire and the President de Brosses." The two quarrel some friends are thus brought into comparison by the reader. History has awarded to both a place among her great men, but it is very questionable if either of them left the world better than they , found it. The great Frenchman does not appear to much advantage in his correspondence with M. de Brosses, which will amuse the reader by its absurdity and pettiness. The clever author of " Ashley" gives us the commencement of a new tale, under the attractive title of " A Night with the Ghosts." It promises considerable interest, and is sufficiently uncommon to excite the atten tion of the r ea d er . A yout h h av i ng ecl i psed all his companions at a public school, in an, examina tion, is locked up in the church by one of them in revenge, as h e is pract i s i ng the orgaji in the twilight.

What results will follow we shall learn in the next number. " Home Life in Norway" gives us some curious pictures of Nor wegian life, taken from a new work, by Theodore Mugge, entitled " Life and Love in Norway." Another Scandinavian story is translated from the Danish, by Mrs. Bushby, and entitled " Too Mr. Gladstone's " Studies on Homer," receive a long, but n o t ver y com pli men tary criticism. Mr. Rowsell gives us an article on " The Cathedral —the Crucifix—th e C on f ess i ona l," but it is not equal in clear, p rac ti ca l sense , an d straightfor wardness to many of his previous essays. An amusing paper on " Alexandre Dumas and his Pets," exhibits some of the absurdities of that writer's marvellous tales, which certainly compete with the famous Baron Munchausen. Another entertaining paper recounts some of the adventures met with by a traveller while spending his even ings at inns. PATENT STEAM BOILER. (From the _Derby Reporter of October 29, 1858) We have been much pleased with an inspection of a patent boiler, made at.the locomotive works of the Midland Railway Company here, which appears k to be a step in the right direction. The ordinary way of making boilers is by bending plates of a uniform thickness to the required circle, and strongly riviting them together round the edges, and wher@ connected to flat ends, angle irons of a strong se. tion are introduced. Up till a very recent date it was believed that the rivetted portion of the boiler was as strong as any other part of it, but the per. tical experiments of Mr. Fairbairn demonstrated that if the strength of an ordinary boiler plate was assumed to be 100, then a joist secured by a single row of rivets was equal to 56, and, if double rivetted, 70 ; in other words if a boiler waa made of plates capable of resisting 1001bs. per square inch, it would be only safe to use 561bs. steam in it if single rivetted, and 701bs. if doi l bi ft rivetted. The new plan of making boilers, as introduced. by Messrs. Alton and Fernie, of the locomotive department here, is to increase the strength of the plates at this weak point of all boilers, and instead of rivetting the plat es on the a flat part to one rivet the to bend t t og he e p the lat r e , s to right i angle rons and e ar thus angle entirely dispensed w ith at the flat eninstead of and of the joints being the weakest part of the boiler, they are by far the strongest. They claim as their invention an entirely new form of boiler plate, rolled thicker along the edges or sides for a certain distance and gradually turning into the body of the plate. These plates they bend and flange,_ or, as the case m a y b e , th ey r i ve t on fl a t t o t h e boiler. In ordinary boilers placed over a fire, or having an internal flue containing it, the plates next the fire gradually get thin and have to be replaced. The locomotive boiler shell is quite removed from the direct influence of the fire, but being subjected to double the pressure of ordinary boilers, and having to sustain some particular strains consequent on its being attached to the engine, it waers differently to an ordinary boiler. Some were pointed out to us which had a narrow seam or strip worn out along the inside edge of the joi n t s , but the greatest amount of wear seemed to be on those plates that had angle irons attached to them, and on the opposite side from the ang l e i ron; and inside the boiler we saw plates which had a channel worn out two or three feet long, half an inch wide, and three-eighths of an inch d ee p, or nearly the whole thi c k ness of the plate ; indeed, some plates we saw were cut clean through, which had only been a t work three years. Now, the new plates are made sufficiently wide in the thick part for properly join amount of jointing, and also to stand twice the wear at the joints. So that in the new boil er , if the plates are strong enough in the body to resist a 100 lb. per sq. inch pressure, the joints being made extra thick, are also able to resist the same or rather more pressure, and consequently an equili brium of strength is maintained throughout the whole boiler. Angle irons, as explained to us, are very expensive to keep in repair. When bent and welded they are punched, and one side is rivetted to the boiler shell and the flat ends of the boiler to the other side of the angle iron, but the fibre of angle iron runs in the direction of the punched holes, making tlaem, even when of the strongest sec tions liable to crack from hole to hole. By the new plan the plate itself is turned over to form the angle, and the fibre of the iron runs in the right di rection, and. a whole row of rivets and the consequent weakening of the plates are thus saved. A very beautiful adaptation of the new invention was pointed out to us in the manufacture of the steam domes. These being made from the same plates allow of the flanges being turned and faced, and thus good joints are secured. The plates are a capital job, and a credit to. the Lowmoor Iron Corn- • pany, who are the sole manufacturers of the patent plates. We have been thus particular in describing what, we believe to be a first invention, and which, -ma understand, has received the commendations of a large number of eminent engineers, and we wo' old recommend our engineering friends to see and' exa mine the boilers themselves, and would espec ;ially recommend the invention to those about ere Hering boilers. had L pOSt 17} 20 Stock, Sto.
