The following are some details respecting the natural history of this part of Syria at present attracting so much interest. Wheat, barley, maize, lentils, and peas are produced, but not in sufficient quantities for more than seven or eight months' consumption ; and the deficit has to be made up by imports. Potatoes would succeed very well, but only small quantities are planted, and the crops are generally sold to Europeans ; the population, with that horror for innovation, for which they are remarkable, prefer, to potatoes, - the beans of Egypt, of which they make wretched bread, and which they have always used. In the lowlands, and especially those in the direction from Beyrouth to Seyde, large quan tities of oil,grapes, figs, almonds, and nuts are pro duced. Most of these fruits, however, are far from equalling those of Europe; they are, in fact, _little better than the wild ones of the West, and the Orientals eat them before they are ripe. The apricots, grapes, and figs are good, especially the sort of the latter called Bey routh. The town of that name and its neigh bourhood are infested with large bats which com mit, at night, much damage. The cactus plant grows largely in Syria. but the inhabitants have not had the idea of turning it to account in bret ding cochineas ; they content themselves with using it t o make hedges, and gathering the fruit. Pine trees flourish in the country, and the Persian lilac is planted in avenues and much esteemed ; but, except these two, all shrubs are plucked up to make room for mulberry trees. The mulberry justifies the preference shown for it; in addition to feeding silk worms on the leaves in spring, its branches ' supply fuel ; its bark serves the purposes for which willow is employed in other countries; the second crop of leaves feed cattle, and its wood is used by carpenters. The pasture grounds in the upper part of the mountain are good but not extensive, and consequently the production of oxen is limited. Every year 30,000 or 40,000 sheep are imported from Mesopotamia, and fat tened on mulberry leaves. Camels are obtained from the Arabs of the Desert ; asses, mules, and , common horses from the isle of Cyprus ; oxen and goats are bred in the country. There is not I much game in the Lebanon, owing to the de structive manner in which sporting is carried on. The chiefs of the mountain employ falcons to catch partridges, but the common mode is to tempt the birds to certain spots by spreading grain, and then to surprise them. The ounce, hyena, wolf, chacal, for, gdzelle, bear, wild goat, wild boar, and very large porcupines, are the wild or savage animals found in the country. In the Lebanon there is a great quantity of fossil coal, but it con tains so much sulphuric acid as to be only fit for large manufactories. Iron is abundant, and several mines are worked, but unfortunately in an imper fect and very expensive manner. The iron, how ever, obtained is preferred to foreign, on account of its malleability. It is said that mines of gold, silver, and copper, also exist in the country." FLEET STREET AND TILE STRAND FIVE HUNDRED YEARS AGO. The bridge we are just - Crossing is built over the river Fleet, a tributary to the Thames, into which it flows not far from the Black Friars' house. It rises in the heath of Hampstede, certain miles north of the City. The vessels near the bridge are laden with sea-coal, charcoal, and lime, which they carry to or from the wharves on the Fleet banks. The street into which we have entered is also known as the Fleet-street. Though without the walls it is yet a Liberty of the City, and within its jurisdiction, which extends in this direction to yonder posts, linked together with chains, known as the " Bars." This street is chiefly in habited by brewers of ale—who, in this country, are mostly women—and makers of felt hats, yet has a few notable buildings. First on the left is the royal palace of St. Bridget's, or Bride's, near the well dedicated to that saint. It is an ancient resi dence, and little used. Next comes the Bishop of Salisbury's Inn. The monastery beyond it is that of the Carmelites, or White Friars, and has of late been rebuilt for them by the munificent hand of the Earl of Devon. That large building with the round church, still further on near the Bars, is the New Temple. You know, doubtless, that it derives its name from the Knights Templars, who removed hither from the Old Temple in the street of Ould burne. On the recent suppression of that order, the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, called " Hos pitallers," shortly became its possessors, but having a larger establishment in Clerkenwell, they not long since leased the New Temple to the students of common law, who have converted it into an Inn of Court. Opposite thereto, you see another Inn of Court, called " Clifford's" from the lessor thereof, Dame Isabel Clifford. Beyond the Bars is the river-side road, called " Strand-street." It was sorely in need of paving until lately, when a tax for its repair was levied on all goods carried along ' it to the Staple at - Westminster. Here, many lords, spiritual and temporal, have goodly inns, of which you can see but two or three; the Bishop of Exeter's close on the left ; the Bishop of Bath's beyond it; and the Bishop of Chester's, with the old stone cross beforo it. At that cross the judges have sometimes sat to try pleas. The palace which you can just see to the left is the Savoy, so called from Peter, Count of Savoy, who built it in the reign of our Henry the Third, whose queen was the count's niece. Now the Duke of Lancaster is the owner thereof, and John, the cap tive King of France, lodged there not long since. The bridge over the lane in the centre of the road is called " Strand-bridge." On the right of St. Clement's Danes Church you see the wells of St. Clement's and Holy Well ; and, beyond them the vineyard and convent garden of the Abbey of West minster, skirted by the woods of Long Acre. The church among the fields, in the distance, is St. Martin's.-411 the Year Round. TBIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. bit Einar, WEEKLY AVERAGES.

Davies, gentleman, of 8, Albion-street, Hyde-park. The complainant said that between one and two that morning he called in at the Victory Tavern, Oxford-street, with a friend, and had scarcely been in the house a minute, when the prisoner, who was in company of other females, called him a " prig," and on his friend saying they would leave, the prisoner struck him in the face. His friend then left for the purpose of fetching a constable, upon which the prisoner struck hira on the nose some severe blows, cover ing him with blood, scratched his face, pulled his hair, and tore his coat. He then gave her in charge. Mr. Wm. Eade, of 3, Adam-street West, confirmed a portion of the above, and said he was much annoyed by prisoner and her companions. 74 D proved taking the prisoner into custody, and find ing the complainant bleeding from the nose and mouth. The prisoner was very violent in her conduct. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner 10s. or 14 days. ASSAULT ON A LICENSED VICTUALLEIL.—TWO men, named \Vinspeare and Bates, were charged with assaulting Mr. Richardson, of Great St. Andrew-street, licensed victualler. Mr. Richardson was very roughly handled by Win speare, the other attempting to rescue Winspearo. Winspeare said he didn't know he was " obstropolous." Fined, Winspeare 15s. and Bates 2s. 6d. THAMES. SINGULAR CHARGE OF STEALING A CASH-IT:K.—Char lotte Cooper, a servant girl, aged 15, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a cash-box containing sundry papers, the property of her master, George WM. Glenistor, grocer and cheesemonger, 1, Spring-garden place, Stepney. Mr. Glenister said the prisoner had been in his service for a few weeks, and her conduct had not been so good as it ought to have been. Last Saturday she stole a half sovereign, and he forgave her for that, and declined to turn her out of doors. This morning the girl rose early and went down stairs, for the purpose, it was supposed, of lighting the fire and attending to her household duties. Soon afterwards she was missed, and on looking for the cash-box it was missing. Concluding she had absconded and taken the cash-box with her, he went after her girl, and after iquiring for her at various places, he found her in front of the ruins of Messrs. Goodhart's sugar refinery, which was destroyed by fire last night. The cash-box was under her arm, and he took it from her, and gave her into custody. There was no money in the cash•.box. He emptied it last night. The prisaner, in defence, said she received warning to leave her master's service this day, and having no friends and no place to go to, she did steal the cash-box for the purpose of being given into custody. Mr. Glenister believed that his wife did tell the prisoner she was to leave this day. He received a good character with her from Mrs. Meredith, cow-keeper, of No. 27, Whiskin-street. Clerkenwell. Mr. Selfe—Let inquiries be made about the girl. She is remanded until Thursday next. THE ATTEIIIPTED MURDER A 7 LEEDS. Yesterday, at the Leeds Town Hall, John Ken worthy was charged with the determined and mur derous attack upon Mr. Stephen Lupton, grocer and provision dealer, Armley Hall, of which we have already furnished some particulars. The first witness called was Mrs. Horner, a widow residing in the adjoining house to that occupied by Mr. Lup ton, in Holdforth, New Wortley. She deposed to responding to Mr. Lupton's calls for assistance, and stated that she saw the prisoner leave the house. She found the hatchet with which the wounds had evidently been inflicted, and noticed that in Mr. Lupton's bedroom the drawers and clothes had all been disturbed. Mrs. Horner's evidence was corroborated by several witnesses ; and a girl named Shaw stated that she saw the prisoner near his mother's house soon after the perpetration of the outrage. He was very pale, and seemed agi tated, and turned his head repeatedly. Upon the left knee of his trousers there was a great spot of blood. Police Constable Scott, who apprehended the prisoner, and afterwards secured the clothes worn by him early in the morning, stated that he found ' on the trousers a mark of blood.—George Gibbons said : I live with the prisoner's mother, who is my stepmother. About a quarter to six o'clock on Monday morning the prisoner came in, and went up stairs to his mother's room. Kenworthy shortly after asked me to lend him my coat. I did so. The hatchet, which is one ordinarily called a " blocker," and used for chopping up firewood, was identified by several persons as having been in the possession of the prisoner. —Mr. Daniel Baxendale, the employer of the prisoner, identified the chopper as his property, and said it had been stolen from his stable about six months ago.—Mr. William Scott, surgeon, of Holbeck, said: I found five scalp wounds on Mr. Lupton's head, a wound on the left ear, another wound on the back, over the fifth and sixth dorsal vertebra, another on the left wrist, and a superficial wound on the nose. There were also many scratches on the face. The wound on the crown of the head was a corn pound fracture, was nearly three inches in length, cut down to the bone, and was the same trans versely. All the other wounds on the scalp also es posed the bone more or less. The wound on the wrist was a superficial wound about an inch in length. The wound on the nose appeared to have been occasioned by a bite. The wounds on the head must have been inflicted by a blunt-edged instrument, similar to the hatchet produced, and the other wounds (that on the nose excepted) appear to have been inflicted with a sharp instrument like a knife. When I examined the hatchet in Mr. Lupton's house, I saw that the blade was bloody, and that there was some hair attached to it which was of the same colour as Mr. Lupton's hair. —Jane Blanchard, who assists in cleaning the offices at the Leeds Town Hall, deposed that when the prisoner was brought in he was placed within the iron fencing until the charge was entered, and when she afterward went to sweep that part of the room she found on the floor an ordinary pocket knife. The blade, which was open, was marked with blood, and was nearly bent in two. The case was further adjourned until this day (Thursday) week. Mr. Lupton still remains in a very critical position. THE MIRACULOUS CABINET.—Last evening w, attended the private view at the Dudley Gallery, Piccadilly of the opening of the Miraculous Cabinet, and a more sur prising sight wo never witnessed. The cabinet itself is only five feet in height, three feet wide, and 18 inches deep, and yet it contains 150 pieces of furniture of the same size in most cases as ordinarily used in private houses. It seemed to be in fact absolutely inexhaustible. Chairs, tables, bedsteads, rich inlaid cabinets, massive can delabra, reading chairs, and rocking chairs, mirrors, candlesticks, flower-pots, plates, dishes, knives and forks, drinking cups, camp stools, with h un d re d s o f o th er thi ngs too numerous to mention, were taken out and set up in endless succession and with magic celerity, until the whole of the large platform was fully furnished. One small box, of the ordinary size of a lady's workbox, contained all the plates, knives, forks, &c., &c., necessary for a dinner to 24 persons. After the whole was put together and arranged, the ingenious inventor invited those present to come and examine the furniture, in order to convince themselves that no trick was played, and that everything was constructed in the most solid and durable manner. The author of this extraordinary work of art is Mons. H. Nadolsey, and from the novelty of the exhibition it will no doubt become highly attractive. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. Notwithstanding that the supply of beasts on offer in to day's market was only moderate the demand for all kinds rulod inactive, at Monday's quotations. The show of sheep was rather limited, and most breeds were in very middling condition ; nevertheless, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, at about stationary prices.

The French police made a descent the other night on a clandestine gambling-house, kept by a female who called herself Mme, de Marseilles. The apartment, most sumptuously fitted up, was frequented by ladies of the demi-monde, actresses of the minor theatres, whose pre sence attracted young men of family, foreigners, and others, who were made the prey of Greeks and professed gamblers. When the police entered the place a large party were as sembled, and, being thus taken in flagrante delicto, the lady of the house was arrested, and the stakes and all tke fur niture in the rem seized. (1'!".}11 LONDON-BRIDGE TERMINUS 110 TEL CO3II"A2VE A special meeting of the proprietors of this com pany was held yesterday at the London Tavern, for the purpose c'f cons i der i ng the propiiety of dispos ing of the present site of the proposed hotel, or at once proceeding with the building; Dr. Challice, the chairman, presided. The notice convening the meetina , having been read, and the seal o f the company having been affixed to the registry of shareholders, The CHAIRMAN said this was the first oppor tunity the directors had had of explaininc, shareholders the position of the com pany,to the and therefore he would give them a short history of their progress. When they first started the com pany they were led to believe that the Brighton Company would assist them, and give them permis sion to have access from the hotel to the platform, but when they served their parliamentary notices on the'various parties they found that they were to be op posed not only by the B righton ,but by the South- Eas tern Railway Company also. They got their bill into the House of Lords but it was thrown outon a technical objection. They subsequently applied to the magis trates at the Surrey sessions, and obtained permis sion to block up th e B roa dway, provided they opened St. Thomas's-street to the public ; and that having been arranged they were threatened with still further legal proceedings by the railway com panies. Under these circumstances it would be for the shareholders to decide whether it would be wise to prosecute their plan and incur further legal ex penses. Since this project had been started other circumstances had arisen which had made an im portant change in the state of their prospects. The London, Chatham, and Dover Company had ob tained a bill to carry their terminus to Farringdon street ; the South-Eastern had obtained powers to carry theirs to Charing-cross; and the London and Brighton had opened theirs at Pimlico,where there was a large hotel in course of erection. These, it was thought, would so divert the traffic that it was not advisable to proceed any further with the hotel. Several shareholders had written to him to say that if the Brighton Company would give a fair price for the ground it would be better to let them have it and abandon their project. The directors ac cordingly opened negotiations with that company, and had received an offer of £30,000 for it, includ ing the £5,000 the hotel company had paid to the St. Thomas's Hospital as caution money. Nego tiation were progressing satisfactorily until Mon day last, when the directors of the railway desired to be released from the necessity of building the hotel, as they would be bound to do by the agree ment under which the land was granted by the go vernors of the hospital. This difficulty could be over come provided the railway company would capi talise a sum that would yield a revenue of £750 a year, so as to secure the ground -rent to the hos pital. The directors of the railway company would meet in a few days, and they would then decide whether they would comply with that condition. Until their decision was known nothing could be done, and he should therefore have to move adjourn ment of the meeting till the 2d of November. If the sale took place the shareholders would have the option of receiving back their money intact, or still prosecuting their scheme on another sit e . If t h ey chose the latter course there was a piece of ground contiguous to the one they were giving up, which could be had for a sum that would leave a consi• derable balance to go towards building the hotel, and it was part of the agreement with the railway company that they should have access to the rail way platform for foot passengers—a privilege that was worth 15,000. He then formally moved the adjournment of the meeting till the 2d of Novem ber next. Mr. ILawKiss seconded the motion. Mr. KINTREA said, notwithstanding the discou raging circumstances just narrated, there was nothing, in his opinion, that ought to induce them to abandon the scheme, and he trusted it would yet be carried out on the new site. He wished to know what their expenses hild been up to the pre sent time. The CHAIRMAN said their outlay and liabilities to the present time amounted to £29,639, including the £5,000 caution money. The motion was carried unanimously. A cordial vote of thanks to, and confidence in, the chairman and directors having been carried, the meeting separated. THE _RAILWAY 111AREET. The railway market remains intrinsically sound, and, as its steady recovery throughout the year has been attributable solely to the extension of com mercial traffic, which seems destined to go on in an increasing ratio, there is little reason to apprehend any material reaction, whatever may be the state of the money-market. Looking at the prices cur rent at this moment, in comparison with those prevalent on the Ist of January last, it may be as sumed that there has been an average augmenta tion of nearly 5 per cent. in the value of the railway property of the country, or a total of more than £15,000,000 sterling ; and this result becomes more striking when it is mention that Consols during that interval have undergone a fall of nearly 2 per cent., and that the weather throughout the entire period has been the worst ever known. As a decline of 2 per cent. in the British funds would represent about £16,000,000, it may be calculated that the nominal loss in that respect has been exactly coun teracted by the opposite movement in railways. With regard to the changes in different invest ments, such as those of a miscellaneous character, the fall in some descriptions has also been about balanced by an extraordinary advance in others. Thus while many kinds of foreign stocks are lower, and also nearly all classes of shares in speculative undertakings, there has been an unexampled re bound in the principal United States' railway secu rities, and especially in those most largely held on this side. In the securities of the Erie and Illinois Central lines our capitalists were embarked to the amount of several millions. The shares of the first have advanced from 11 to 41, and of the latter from 38 discount to 18 discount, while in the mortgage bonds of both undertakings the recovery has ranged from 10 to 15 per cent. On the other hand, our commitments in our own American possessions have gone from bad to worse, and Grand Trunk of Canada shares, which stood at 421 at the beginning of the year, are now down at 261, while in its pre ference and debenture stocks there has been a fall of between 25 and 30 per cent. How much this fall would have been increased but for the favourable Canadian harvest and the visit of the Prince of Wales must be matter of conjecture. Happily, the shares of the other large Canadian line—the Great Western of Canada—have not suffered any fresh decline, but are now at a point slightly above that at which they stood in January. With regard to the English railway companies, it is to be remarked that notwithstanding the great prosperity they have shown on the average, there is abundant evidence of the drawbacks they have had to encounter from the weather. The instances in which a great rise has taken place have almost all been in connection with the commercial districts, while those which depend a upon casual pleasure arrangements mostly sdhafwrom decline. While Midland Stock has advanced from 110 to 130, the Great Northern from 107 to " 6 the the Manchester and Sheffield from 39 to 48, Lancashire and Yorkshire from 100 too_lll2Bl,' and of and the the Brighton has declined from 115 n t 1 Counties also Dover from 85 to 84.

THE NEW ACT ON NAVAL — l5 --- - ISCIPLINE.—The Act to amend the laws relating to the government of the navy, which was passed at the close of the late session, will not come into operation until the Ist of April next. The pre amble states that it is expedient to amend the laws relating to the government of the navy, whereon, under the good providence of God, the wealth, safety, and strength of the kingdom chiefly depends. The Act is divided into seven parts. Public worship is to be properly conducted in all ships of war, and the Lord's-day is to be observed accord ing to law. Penalties are to be imposed for misconduct in the presence of the enemy, for neglect of duty, for mutiny, and for insubordination, as well as for desertion. For ab sence without leave an offender may be imprisoned for ten weeks, with or without hard labour, or such other punish ment as the circumstances of the case may require, and for • flit a sum not exceeding two days' pay, exclusive of all charges of apprehension, and in addition for every twenty five hours of absence a sum not exceeding six days' pay, and any person may be deemed to be absent without leave, notwithstanding his absence may not have been voluntary, btit may have been caused by imprisonment under a com mitment for an offence against the law ; penalties are to be enforced for profane swearing and other scandalous action s in derogation of God's honour and corruption of good man ners with dismission from the service. Other offences are_e described, and the punishment to be inflicted , as also . the co nstitution and proceedings of courts m artial. i,a Zy t u h ; persons are insane at the time of the offence 's) are to be kept in strict custody, and the Lords a t hnegAd her miralty are to give orders for their safe custo d y tli Majesty's pleasure.

CURIOUS BE Tr_EL TIOXS. The Gpinionc and other Italian papers publish various letters from Sicilians and Neapolitans of the highest distinction, which cast a strange light on the doings of M. Bertani And the clique to which he belongs. The history of the railway concession to the firm of Adami and Co. is peculiarly amusing:— " Ina, letter to Baron Poet io, M. Filippo Cordova, now banished from Sicily on account of his annexa tionist tendencies; relates that when he was Attorney-General to the Court of Accounts at Palermo, under the Pro-Dietatorate of M. Depretis, a contract was laid before him, signed ' Garibaldi —Adami,' by which the latter were invested with the exclusive monopoly of the construction of all the railways in Sicily, which the Government might think proper to decree. On the capital to be raised, the firm was to receive two per cent. commission; the capital itself to be represented by Sicilian Government stock, payable to bearer, and the firm _being l e f t at liberty to negociate it at any possible figure. On the whole capital expended the firm was to receive an additional five per cent. M. Cor dova shows the absurdity of such a plan, by which Sicily would fi rst have to pay two per cent. com mission on the sale of her stock, while it could be disposed of readily at a brokerage of one per thousand; then run all the risks of the enter prise without the firm's risking one farthing; and lastly, pay, at five per cent., 25 millions more for no service done whatever. This project was of State unanimously rejected by a commission coin posed of MM. Michele Amari, Sec re t ary for Public Works, Cordova , and Perez, Pro-Dictator Depretis annulled the contract." M. Cordova goes no further in his letter, but we know already that the same project was signed the other day at Naples. How this was done, the Naples correspondent of the Perseverenza of Milan explains : - Bertani arrived at Naples on the 21st ult., he applied t o M. S c i a l o ja, the Minister of Fi nance, requesting him to place SOO,OOO francs at the disposal of G. B. Garibaldi, of Marseilles, for the purchase of arms, 'and another million of francs at his (M. Bertani's) disposal. The Minister re plied that, as to the arms, G. B. Garibaldi, of Mar seilles, might send them, and draw in the course of business for the above amount ; and as to the mil lion, its necessity not being proved, it had better be talked over some other day. M. Bertani did not insist, but on the 26th asked Scialoja for 40,400 fr. to defray office expenses. This enormous sum was granted to him by the Council of Minis ters, believing it to be required for the payment of the swarm of Dictatorial officials attached to the secretary. On the 29th Scialoja resigned office ; and on the same day Bertani wrote to the Director of Finance for a sum of 88,000 fr ! On the pre vious day he had been with Messrs. Adami to the notary, M. Cacace, and had there, armed with the Dictator's authorisation, signed the celebrated con cession, not only for Naples, but also for Sicily, although, as above stated, it had been rejected by the Pro-Dictator of that island." These facts, and the appointment of Crispi to Ber tani's place, greatly irritated the Neapolitans, who had received the announcement of Bertani's depar ture with intense joy. The Turin Gazette pub lishes, in its turn, some telegraphic despatches sent by Bertani to M. Tripoti, commanding the troops on the Neapolitan frontier, bidding him prevent the Sardinians from entering without permission from the Dictator. One of these telegrams runs thus : " Organise the defence with your forces. Employ every revolutionary means. Call out the National Guard. Do not divide the troops. I hope soon to send you good decisive news." In another he says : "Prevent the annexationist expeditions. Take the necessary rigorous measures against the agita tors who want annexation before the Dictator has ordered it." To complete the history of these strange doings, we must not omit mentioning a letter addressed to the Opinione by M. del Castillo di Sant' Onofrio, late Director of the Post-office in Sicily:— " I would," he says, " have explained the reasons for my resignation sooner, if the liberty enjoyed in Sicily under Mordini's misgovernment did not prevent every free manifestation of opinion. Now, however, in this happy land of freedom, I may speak openly. General Garibaldi having lowered the postage tariff to Piedmont to 40 centimes, when the communications with Naples were re established, I thought I must extend the benefit of the same tariff to Naples also ; upon which M. Mordini sent me so strange and violent a Ministe rial letter, that it could only come from a person unaccustomed to civil society. This led to further correspondence, which ended in my resigning and being dismissed at the same time. This was the apparent reason ; but the real one was that I was a firm annexionist, and a friend of the excellent M. Depretis, whom I had often recommended to order the vote of annexation, even without Gari baldi's consent. Another reason, perhaps, was that Mordini became aware that, under my administra tion, the secrecy of letters would be inviolable." M. Depret is, late pro-Dictator of Sicily, has written to the Opinion° of Turin, denying an imputation cast upon him by M. Bertani, to the effect that, while in office, he had retarded the acceptance of certain bills, to the great detriment of the public service. After stating that the finances of Sicily were in a bad condition, he relates the facts as fol lows :—Towards the end of August, seven bills of exchange, drawn by Bertani, were presented to him for acceptance, to the total amount of 2,168,000 fr. Not having received advice, he or dered the first to be paid, which amounted to 325,000 fr., and immediately wrote to the central office of the society for aiding Garibaldi requiring explanations, and accounts justifying the expen diture of such a sum, the Treasury of Sicily having already contributed 3,675,000 fr. to wards the Garibaldi Fund. In September — the matter, it seems, having been explained— he paid in 150,000 fr. more, which sum, according to advices received, he considered sufficient for the requirements of the fund. Soon after he accepted the second bill of exchange to the amount of 351,000 fr., and arranged with the cashier of Al. Bertani for the payment of the others at somewhat later periods. It therefore appears that, if the pay ments have not been made, the fault does not lie with M. Depretis, and M. Bertani's accusation falls Ito the ground: ACADEMY OF SCIEN CES. experiments M.

Our readers atrse o a n w t a h r ee thatair o h f i s d i ff e e h r i e e n e t t is to show that the atmosphere is far from being overloaded with microscopic spores and germs, as is asserted by those alludedwho deny his theory of spon taneous to, generation, In the experiments above with his the l an e d a m rn a e rh d s n e a s t , u t r h a e lis s t e h a a a s n e d xploredthe air of t owns mountains, microscope, an instrument, it will be re membered, of his invention, by which the e par t*l les contained in a given volume of air are_ blown - on an adhesive surface. In'towns, he has found that the air contains an infinite variety of organic re mains and particles of things in common use. The air of marshes and plains is charged with a vast quantity of vegetable fragments. On the contrary, in the open sea, far from the shore, as also on the tops of mountains, above the cultivated and in habited zones, particles foreign to the atmosphere become infinitely rare, and it is found not to contain either fecula or the eggs of infusoria, or the spores of mucedinm. And yet, he states in conclusion, a single cubic decimetre of such air, taken in the open sea between Sardinia and Sicily, or in the midst of the lonian Sea, or on the top of Mount Etna, has always fur nished him with legions of ciliated infusoria, which, in his opinion, have been produced by spontaneous generation. M. Goldschtnidt wrote to state that M. Luther had, at M. G-oldschmidt's request, re-observed his last planetshort at Btime ilk, a agond named it Danea. We stated a that M. Chacornac had discovered aother on the 12th. Hence it would seem that M. Gold schmidt's Danea is the 58th, and M. Chacornac's planet the 59th of the family of telescopic planets. Owing to the unfriendly footing on which M. Leverrier stands with the Academy of Sciences, M. Chacornac's discovery is officially ignored by that body, which has received no communication on the subject ; and most probably the discovery held. to will have to travel through Brussels, Berlin, or played by infusoria - fermentation, ' London, before the Academy can be legally know anything about it.
