A FREEHOLD PLEASURE FARM, called RED HILL, of 122 ACRES, with OR NAMEN TAL GROUNDS and PLANTATIONS. TO RE SOLD BY AUCTION, By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, At the Auction Mart, on TITURSDAY, the 19th of October, at Twelve o'clock, by direction or the Trustee, and under a posi tive power of Sale, A FREEHOLD PLEASURE FARM, de lightfully situate about three miles beyond WESTERHAM, IN KENT, 112 miles past Bromley, and 23 from London. It is a eiresteastance of rare occurrence when such a I'roperty is attainable. THIS PARK, or rather PET FARM, does not pretend to accommodate a very large family, and there is no leek of opportunity to improve and decorate it within—but there is much comfort, and the situation is so romantic, in deed, it is altogether so irresistible, that Mr. Robins intreats all those who may need such a retreat to seek oceular proof and without delay. It is seated en a verdant Lawn, adorned by myriads of American and other shrubs, and disposed in such extraordinary taste, that Re ton would indeed be proud to acknowledge it as his own offspring. The Kitchen Garden is shut out by means of no in considerable tact, and ornamented by the Hermitage ; this with the luxuriant Orchards form altogether a delightful ensemble. The offices are capital, and very abundant, and those adapted to Agri cultural pursuits are so good as to leave nothing to be desired. The Villa is aided in its outward appearance by a Veranda, which encireles it. ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-TWO ACRES IS THE EXTENT OF THE DOMAIN, Varied, in every direction by the HANGING WOODS, and full-grown Plantations. The country far and near appears as ONE CONTINUED PARK; The society is capital, and there is no lack of good fellowship. The soil is adapted to add profit to the pleasure of superintending the farm. A second crop of clover has been seen in great luxuri ance. Cows are fatted on the pasture, and the hops now growing leave no doubt of the character of the soil. In conclusion, it may be affirmed it stands alone for its manifold advantages. It is on lease (shortly expiring) to Mr. Hartnall, at only 130/. a-year. Particulars may be had 20 days prior to the sale, at the best Inns at Bromley; the King's-arms, Westerham ; of Messrs. Harrison and Dobree, Solicitors, Hart-street, Bloo ms bu r y ; th e A uc ti on - mar t ; and in vent-garden. IN WARWICKSHIRE. THE MANSION, ESTATE, AND MANOR OF LEAM INGTON HASTINGS, NEAR TO DAVENTRY AND DUNCHURCH, AND ONLY EIGHT MILES FROM LEAMIMGTON SPA. TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, At the Auction Mart, on THUISDAT, the 19th of October, at Twelve o'Clock, in One Lot, by direction of the Trustees under a Deed of iettlement, ASingularly eligible and VERY IMPORTANT FREEHOLD PROPERTY, admirably suited to a Capi talist who would invest is perfect security, and with prospective views if an augmented rent that will not be a little sucotraging. It eomprehends THE ESTATES OF THE LATE E. S. SITWELL, ESQ. which have long held a high place in the estimation of the War wiekshire yeomen. It is a neighbou r h oo d f ame d f or goo d fellow ship, and the county has always been distinguished for the superio rity of the soil. THE MANSION-HOUSE, IN DAYS OF YORE (in the time of the fre Torsaridlfheeler;),was not a little conse quential ; and it needs only a moderate outlay, with a mixture of tact and judgment, to restore it at once to its original and legiti mate rank. Mr. Robins would prefer to inlist the attention of the reader rather to the comfort that presides within, than the precis* order of its architectural form without. A noble row of elms FORMS A SPLENDID AVENUE ENTACE. And a Lawn of some extent and beauty encircles the abode. There is a capital walled garden, of considerable extent, and prolific be yond measure—Covent-garden market is not needed as an mai fiery. There are thriving plantations, which give protection from the wintry cold, and the park grounds in front prodace an ensemble of no ordinary nature. THE DEMESNE AND FARMS ALTOGETHER EXCEED THIRTEEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY ACRES ; a large proportion includes some of the best land in the County. There is also a mixture of clay upon limestone. The splendid crops of Wheat and Barley of this year's growth (and after a most unpropitious spring, let it be remembered), prove beyond the power of doubt tke congeniality of the soil. The Estate is divided into SIX CONVENIENT FARMS, and in the list of tenants may be accounted some of the most re spectable yeomen and beat farmers of Warwickshire. The present rental is near SEVENTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR. This includes the tithe. But it should be remarked, that the re spected late owner had a satisfaction in rating is tenants very low. The time is at hand when a new proprietor may augment his in come considerably. THE WARWICK AND NAPTON CANAL 111 and the turnpiko-road from Dunchurck to Southam pass through the estate, and the RAILWAY TO LIVERPOOL and London is at a moderate distance. The Church forms a pleasing feature in aid of the mansion-house, and THE RIVEit LEAH is a boundary to the property, and is full of pike. There is plenty of good hunting, famous shooting, and the poor-rate is almost no minal. Such is a brief outline of a few only of the manifold qua lifications ; the rest is left for oceular demonstration. Particulars may be had, twenty-one days previous to the sale, at the Dun Cow and Green Man, Dunchurch ; the Wheatsheaf, Da ♦entry ; the Craven Arms, Coventry ; Hen and Chickens, Bir mingham ; the Auction Mart ; Messrs. Radford and Jossopp( Soli citors to the Trustees), at Derby ; Messrs. Taylor and Son, Joke street, Bedford-row ; and at Mr. George Robins's offices, Londe*. To view the Estate, apply to Mr. Over, at the Lamb, Kytee Hardvricke ; and to the respective tenants. COUNTY OF WATERFORD. THE COOLISHALL AND GLENMORE ESTATES. THE GLENMORE PROPERTY IN A SEPARATE LOT. TWO exceedingly beautiful and highly improvable FREEHOLD PROPERTIES, including altogether nearly ONE THOU SAND TWO HUNDRED ACRES of PASTURE, ARA- BLE, WOOD, and MOUNTAIN LAND, producing at Rents and annual value upwards of One Thousand Pounds. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has been favoured with the instructions of the Proprietor to offer to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at Morrison's Hotel, Dawson-street, Dublin, on TIIIIRSDAY, the 12th of October, at Twelve for One o'clock, TWO HIGHLY DISTINGUISHED and VERY VALUABLE FREEHOLD PROPERTIES, extensively known as COOLISH ALL ESTATE and in a separate Lot THE DEMESNE OF GLENMORE ; which is one of the most pictxresque properties in Ireland ; also EAST BALLYGALLY HOUSE AND DOMAIN, These very attractive estates have for a lengthened period enjoyed the proud distinction of being recognised as PET PLACES OF THE LOCALITY which they adorn ; they are happily situate upon THE BANK OF THE BLACK WATER, which abounds with salmon-trout, and the pure and limpid water of which NOBLE RIVER FLOWS BETWEEN THE ESTATES. They are also only three miles from the canal at Lismoro, four from the quays of Tullowbridge and Tyreullen, o■ the river Bride, and twelve from the SEA-PORT TOWN OF TOUGHALL, ALL IN THE COUNTY OF WATERFORD. The situation needs no panegyric to those who are fortunate enough to have enjoyed ocular demonstration of its varied beauties; to those, however, who lack that advantage, a few brief observa tions will not be out of place. THE SCENERY is MOST ROMANTIC and LUXURIANT; THE RICHLY WOODED GLEN, And "PICTURESQUE FALL OF GLENMORE" Which is a portion of the Property, and considered one of its proudest features, forms the eastern boundary of Coolishall, and the river Araglin bounds it on the north ; the house and demesne hare the Blackwatcr on the north, with private boats and walks to connect them with the FAMED GLEN AND WATERFALL OF GLF,NNIORE ; and on the west are thick plantations. The walks and shrubberies are very extensive, adorned by thousands of the choicest fruit trees and flowering shrubs, and the Residence commands extensive ♦iews of the Grounds of GLEDICAIRN ABBEY, FORT WILLIAM, THE CATHEDRAL, and CASTLE OF LISMORB, wi;h many other seats of renown. The surpassing beauty of the ornamental timber renders the scene perfect; indeed thero are many who hare likened this favoured property t• ELY SI UM. If profit he in the mind's eye of the purchaser, he will Ind a suitable spot whereon to erect a mill or factory, with an UNLIMITED COMMAND OF STATER; and there are also numerous romantic and beautiful spots, admirably suited to the erection of villas ; in fact, the temptation will be irre sistible for a building operation on a large and profitable seals. The Domain extends altogether to nearly ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED ACRES OF ARABLE, PASTURE, WOOD, AND MOUNTAIN LAND. The residence is replete with comfort, and ample for all the legi timate desires of a family of high respectability. Nearly the entire property is irri , lt e d, there is an unlimited command of lime-stone, limestent.,, a d: mar le, and turbary ; all the neighbouring mountains atnawd in grouse, and the " WINTER SHOOTING MAY BE ASSIMILATED TO THAT OF KILLARNEY," And the HUNTING and FISHING unsurpassed any where. It will not be amiss to state, with a view to remind the Irish, and to ILLUMINE THE ENGLISH CAPITALIST, to point out a few advantages, that have had but little weight in their estima tion heretofore ; it has been too much the fashion to talk of Irish property not' SUPPOSITITIOUS VALUE—the rental as exceed ingly difficult in its collection, and the tenantry poor and dissat isfied. In some dist an t p ar t s o f Ireland, where land is OVER LET, or rented by , THOSE REAL OPPRESSORS OF THE POOR , THE MIDDLEMEN, it may be that the foregoing remarks will occasionally apply ; but on this property, situate in the very best and most civilised part of Ireland, a refreshing contrast is pre.ented. To this may be added a feature of considerable import ; it is in the MOST TRANQUIL AND CIVILIZED DISTRICTS IN IRELAND, where their comfort is not destroyed by the TUR MOIL OF POLITICAL STRIFE. Very descriptive particulars will be ready for circulation 28 days prior to the sale, and can then be obtained at Morrison's Hotel, Dublin ; and on the Exchange; Thomas R. Symes, Esq., 38, Upper Ormond Quay, Dublin ; at the Exchange, Belfast, Cork, and Limerick ; W. C. Jackson, Esq.'s, 58, Lincoln's Inn-fields ; I. L.

GEORGE ROBINS, At the Auefon Mart, on THURSDAY, Oct. 26, at Twelve o'clock, Order of the Directors, and without any restricfon as to pric e . b O NE OF THE MOST ATTRACTIVE AND INVITING SPECULATIONS that can well be imagined. It comprehends The CELEBRATED ESTABLISHMENT DENOMINATED THE MEDWAY HOT AND FLOATING BATHS, which have been placed with much circumspection on the BANK of the RIVER MEDWAY, beneath the stupendous rock, o'er which hangs the RENOWNED RUINS of ROCHESTER CASTLE, and partaking of the Antiquarian and Historical interest that is con nected with the several attractions of this City. Ingenuity would be puzzled to select a more congenial spot. It approximates upon the Bridge. In front. are LORD DARNLEY'S WOODS AND FORESTS, while on every side fresh beauties press in constant succession. Pausing awhile in the splendid receivint , room erected with the view to dissipate the time while the Bathers are anxiously waiting their turn, it will occur to the thoughtful mind that THE MARCH OF IMPROVEMENT, which has progressed so quickly in other directions, must not stop short at ROCHESTER'S FAMED CITY; indeed, it cannot be thubted that enterprise and tact are alone wanting to secure it a high place among the distinguished of ENGLAND'S FAVOURED WATERING PLACES. It has every thing to give promise to such an undertaking. The easy distance from the Metropolis will in time diminish the number of the countless thousands who, during the season progress further on the coast, to arrive at less accommodation and if it be urged that the water be not sufficiently active, it needs only a short visit to set the Twilit Agreeably at rest. It hath been subject to a chemical nnalysis, which has demonstrated that for every healthful purpose it will contend with the strength of the open sea. It is snore Im pregnated with salt than at any point in the river above the I'sore. Next, it may be expedient to give a short outline of the Establish ment. It was erected and completed about 18 months since in a style which has left every other Bathing Establishment in England at an immeasurable distance. The name of Smirke, who presided over it, is " Proof as strong as Holy Writ," in favour of this as sertion • and it will probably be eno u gh t o sa y, it i s wor thy o f hi s fame and ingenuity. His skill is manifest every where, and it is quite visible that a, master-mind has presided over the whole building, Inasmuch as perfection may be accounted one of its at tributes ; this observation applies not mere ly t o th e solid and splendid Building on the bank of the Medway, but equally so to THE FLOATING VESSEL, of fanciful and novel structure, which is appended to THE WARM BATHS. There " IS THAT WITHIN WHICH PASSETH SHOW," for the most fastidious could not find a single fault—indeed, the Baths are altogether a model of so much perfection, that posterity will read a valuable lesson, and the profit in view will awaken them to its adoption. The accommodation is upon so extensive a scale, that 300 HOT BATHS, AND 500 FLOATING BATHS DAILY, may with facility be accomplished. It perhaps will be asked, with all these varied qualifications, what has interfered to prevent its triumphat success? The Directors will excuse the individual who has the conduct of this sale, for his candid reply to this Hypothesis, IT IS TO THE TURMOIL OF POLITICAL DISCORD, one of the severest visitations with which a town can be afflicted ; and to this, and this ALONE the want of immense success must be traced. The bad taste that has engendered thisfeeling, has done in flnitemischief to the City, and the Bathing Establishment has(llal heurcusement) been visited by its full share. Politics has weakened the tide of ROCHESTER'S PROSPERITY, and bat for a m ore j u di c i ous course i n th e pros p ec ti v e, would entail on this once flourishing City, amongst other disasters, that of seeking health and salt-water bathing at a distance. Steam navigation should have read a useful lecture on the necessity of husbanding whatever resources still remain. Let a warning vo i ce i nsp i re t h e i n h a bi tants , w hil e ye t i n time, to bury all political discard in oblivion, and cherish this op portunity, to defy distant competition. Whoever may be the fortunate possessor of thi s p ro p er ty w ill excuse one solitary hint :—Let ; let him follow s himavo f i o dp o olitics, as a careful mariner would escape a I THE ZVEN TENOR OF HIS WAY, AVOIDING ALIKE BOTH " SCYLLA and CHARYBDIS," and when this political schism has been healed, the income that must be the result of civility and attention, 'nay be safely sot down at one, or even extend to TWO THOUSAND POUNDS A YEAR. The cost of the building " exceeds seren'thousand pounds."

I care not how I arr. physicked, so it he ■ot by the adventure of a quack, but advice of a physician, who I am su-e will prescribe no more or me than may consist with my safety, and need tiwth require."— Old vin(. THESE LIVER PILLS are now very generally recommended by the Faculty as the best FAMILY APERIENT, a certain remedy for an INACTIVE LIVER, a safe and effectual Destroyer of Worms in Children, and as the Best Friend of the DYSPEPTIC or BILIOUS SUFFERER, whose usual symptoms are (some or all of) these—sick head-ache, giddi ness, flatulence, palpitation of the heart ( when arising, as it often does, from INDIGESTION), pain in the Side and under the shoulder blades, distressing sensation of choking, oppression after meals, depression of spirits, and a yellow skin. The very first two pills generally afford such relief—such ease from every distressing pain that the patient is at once surprised and delighted. The niedi eine is gentle, though certain in its benign effects. It contains no Aloes, Gamboge, or Colocynth ; occasioning no Piles, nor any pain in its operation. Obstinate Sores heal under a course of and Eruptions of the Skin disappear. Taken a few alternate nights before a voyage, it greatly prevents sea-sickness. Dr. ARMSTRONG gave his unique prescription to the Pro,- prietor (a cousin of Mrs. Armstrong) in 1827, for his wife, who was apparently dying of Liver Complaint, but has been ever since, with the occasional use of the Pills, in perfect health.

The business of the section commenced by Profcss o , LLOYD reading a paper on the subject of the Magnetic Ob servatory at Dublin. He described the construction and various dimensions of the building, and concluded by com mending the liberality which Trinity College has displayed in the undertaking. A discussion followed on the necessity of doing away with iron and copper in such buildings, and substituting wood instead. Monsieur DE LA REVE then read, in French, a paper on electro-magnetic currents, which gave rise to a discussion in which several gentleme❑ took part. Monsieur De la Reve was then called upon to read a paper on an optical pheno menon observed on Mont Blanc. Professor LLOYD said he had witnessed the phenomenon on Mont Blanc, and that it was one of the most beautiful objects he had ever seen ; he had also witnessed a similar phenomenon on the southern coast of Ireland, where he had seen the Welsh mountains apparently raised up in the air, till not only they, but the valleys and plains, were dis tinctly visible. He attributed it to a peculiar hydrometric state of the atmosphere. Professor STAVELEY had witnessed similar phenomera in Belfast. Major SABINES next read a report which be had pre pared.on Terrestrial. Magnetism. He said the report was to hare been published some time since, but the - delay had been occasioned by the receipt of much valuable informa tion during the laSt year. He concluded the report by pointing out some general inferences, and described the methods and instruments used, in order to assist those who might be inclined to undertake such observations in future. The thanks of the section were then given to the Major for his valuable report. Mr. M'GAULEY read a paper on electro-magnetic appa ratus. He then exhibited a new electro-magnetic appa ratus which he had constructed, and explained its construe tion and mode of operation at considerable length, by means of diagrams ; but as we cannot give these, it would be use less for us to attempt an intelligible description. Mr. HOLDEN next read a curious paper on the atmos phere of the moon ; after which, Lieutenant Morrison con cluded the business of the section by a description of an in strument for measuring the electricity of the atmosphere. Dr. BREWSTER expressed his approbation of the instru ment, and requested Lieutenant Morrison to make further observations and experiments, to be reported to the asso ciation. SECTION F.-STATISTICS. 1. Mr. Heywood, Mr. Langton, and Mr. R. W. Greg— Report on the condition of the working classes in six manu facturing towns. 2. Mr. Langton—Report on the number of cellars in Liverpool. 3. Mr. R. A. Slaney, M.P.—Re marks on the condition of the poor in large towns. 4. Mr. Felkin—Remarks on wages in manufacturing districts. Lord Viscount SANDON in the chair. The first paper submitted to the section was on the con dition of the working classes in the boroughs of Manchester, Salford, and Bury. It consisted chiefly of tables. Among other facts it appeared there were more than two persons to each bed, on the average, and there were 207 beds wherein five persons slept in each, and 63 that six slept in each. Mr. SLANEY presented his remarks on the condition of the working classes. The Hon. Gentleman then went on to show how far the richer class had improved and increased in numbers since 1820, by the increase of horses, carriages, male servants, armorial bearings, which he stated had in creased upwards of 20 per cent., and in some instances one third. He then proceeded to show how the middle classes had improved to a much greater extent by the increase in ' the sale of tea, coffee, sugar, number of stage coaches, use of woollen cloth, silks, and manufactured iron. The agri cultural labourers, he stated, were somewhat improved in their condition within the last ten years ; savings' banks were also established, and not one in three of the same class now receive relief who did formerly. He then took a view of what Parliament had done for the working classes for some years past, and mentioned several benefit society acts they had passed, together with the improvements in the savings' banks, made by the Legislature to promote their welfare. Ia the latter he stated that the deposits had increased one third within the last six years, while the increase in benefit societies was not 9 per cent, at the very utmost. A great deal of distress arose from the labourers only having casual employment, and to meet which he (the speaker) recom mended the establishment of societies which would provide against such c asualties by payments when in employment. He instanced a society which was established by some fisher men, which provided, in the case of loss of boats or nets, others in their place out of the general fund, and thereby prevented the poor man from being ruined by the loss he had sustained. It was the case in some agricultural parishes, wherein a few joined together to provide against the loss of a cow, or such like. He then came to the unskilled artifi cers, and stated that their increase in large towns was most extraordinary ; that while the whole population in the kingdom only increased 16 per cent., the increase in the five principal towns of England was upwards of 42 per cent. He then proceeded to show the great increase which had taken place in the consumption of ardent spirits, by the working classes, in large towns, and which was a great source of poverty, misery, and crime. The increase in the consumption of ardent spirits was nine times greater than than the increase of the population—the consumption in 1800 was one (Teflon to each person, in 1836 it was one and a half. The deduction to be drawn from this must be, that the working classes had deteriorated very much within the last fifteen years. SECTION G.-MECHANICAL SCIENCE. Mr. RUSSELL communicated the result of his investiga- tions relative to tides, and tide waves in rivers. He aid not treat of tides as in a current, but as in a wave, and of the manner in which they might be enabled to influence the tide so as to make it flow as might be more beneficial or less disadvantageous. His observations had been principally made in the rivers Dee and Clyde. The velocity of the tide it was found was always decreased by the breadth of the channel, and increased by the depth. If the channel were only four feet deep, and the tide went eight miles per hour, it would flow fifteen miles per hour if the channel were made fifteen feet deep. The next circumstance which had . an influence was the shape of the bank. It. was accelerated by a vertical bank, while it was retarded by a sloping bank, so that if with a vertical bank it flowed twelve miles per hour, with a sloping bank it would only flow eight miles. Another observation was, that the tide might be made to rise higher in a river, by altering the breadth of that river. The greatest effect would be produced by altering the breadth at the mouth, and making it as wide there as possi ble, gradually narrowing by degrees. The next subject was the creation of bores in a tide. Some amusement was here created by the Learned President of the Section requesting Mr. Russell to explain to the section his notion of what a bore was. The Learned Gentleman said he would give a description of a bore. The largest one he had heard of was on the river at Calcutta. It came along the river with terrific force, being a wave fifteen feet high, and rushing for ward at a speed of fifteen miles an hour. If one wave failed to reach its destination before it was overtaken by another, the accumulation of impetus caused the top to break and curl forward, and it became a breaking surge. This was a bore. If bores came into a river three feet deep, and the bores were three feet high, the remedy would be to make it deeper, and then the wave would flow in without a break ing surge. Loud applause greeted Mr. Russell at the con , clusion of this address, and the thanks of the eection were voted to him by acclamation. Mr. 'WEST read a paper on the ventilation of tunnels. Mr. MARSHALL gave the result of his experiments on railway iron. He described the several methods of refining and puddling iron now in use. Ms experiments had been directed to the ascertainment of the best method of pre paring iron so as to resist the vibratory action on railroads, which causes the iron to exfoliate and laminate. He gave it as his opinion that the iron used in railways should con tain as great a quantity of fibre as possible. He recom mended the use of iron manufactured immediately front the pig iron by rolling, After some remarks from Mr. Willis and Mr. Currie, Dr. LARDNEX resumed his discourse on steam navigation to India and to the United States. He exhibited a table compiled from the logs of several of the Government packets, one Post-office packet, and one private packet, showing the number of pounds of coal consumed in each during every two hours, the rate of sailing per hour, and the number of miles each vessel had averaged on the consumption of one ton of coals to each horsy pet:rec. He spoke highly of the " f ea thering paddles," as being superior to those in common use., lie instituted a comparison between the speed of two steamers, the Dundee and Perth, which sail between Lon don and Dundee. Their average speed was 10 miles per hour, with a consumption of 12Ibs. of coal per horse power. Dr. Lardner proceeded to speak of the practicability and Utility of steam navigation to the United States. He was of opinion that. unless stations were provided at Cork and Halifax, no vessel could be so constructed as to carry a inc ficiency of fuel fur the voyage, at even then, he was of opinion that it would be useless to,attempt t o com p ete w i t h line of packet. ships, which made their voyage in such short periils. With respect to the (om un;catio a to India by steam, he . seemed to think more favourably of the project, especially with 1 ,;;c line of stations fixed upo n . Mr. RocHE found fault with the data which the Doctor had taken. Several other gentlemen:`poke upon the same subject, and the Doctor briefly replied. The Section adjourned at four o'clock - . At 5 o'clock about 500 gentlemen sat dowel to an excel lent dinner, Lord Sandon, M.P., in the chair. LECTURE ON ELECTRICITY. Mr. S. HARMS, whose communications to the A;socia tion on electricity, &c., have won him an extensive tame, delivered his lecture on the above subject last night, at the Amphitheatre. The spacious building waA crowded to excess, and the audience was composed of individuals of the highest rank and respectability belonging to this and the adjacent towns. Mr. Harris adverted to the discoveries of Dr. Franklin, and to his method of protection againzt light ning, which he wished was more generally adopted. After reading various papers detailing accidents to shipping from lightning, he proceeded to discuss the subject of lightning conductors, which he did with great clearness and precision. The learned lecturer here illustrated his meaning by an ex periment. Having put the machine in action, he placed a common wooden wand upon the conducting wire, the result of which was, that the electric stream was intercepted and carried off by the wooden conductor ; the moment this was removed, the electric fluid was drawn from the receiver in a series of vivid sparks. A piece of glass placed upon the wire caused no obstruction to the passage of the fluid. The learned lecturer by a Very neat experiment proved the utility of lightning conductors as applied to houses. He placed a small quantity of gunpowder within a small model of a house. With the conducting wire attached, the fluid passed down imperceptibly, but the moment this was re moved the gunpowder exploded. After having spoken forcibly of the dangers to which ships were exposed from lightning, the lecturer proceeded to show how it was possi ble, by a very neat contrivance, to adopt conductors to them. This consisted in placing copper rods in a conti nuous line down the masts into the water. This was also illustrated by experiments on the model of a vessel. THURSDAY. SECTION A.—MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS. Sir DAVID BREWSTER in the chair. _ Mr. LUBBOCK commenced the proceedings by reading a report of the Committee appointed at the last annual meet ing, for the purpose of preparing empirical tables of the moon ; after which Professor Henry submitted a paper on the lateral discharge in common electricity. A short dis cussion followed, Professor Staveley remarking that this was a subject of the greatest importance, as affording a clue to the connection of certain phenomena in galvanic electri city, with others pertaining to common electricity. Dr. READE read a paper on the production of a per manent soap bubble for showing Newton's rings. The for mation of some permanent film for exhibiting the pheno mena of colour displayed in the ordinary soap bubble, had long been a desideratum. Dr. Reade then proceeded to animadvert on the phenomena presented in these bubbles. Professor CHRISTIE then read a paper on the Aurora Borealis in summer. It was a most singular phenomenon that the aurora borealis should have made its appearance in summer, as it did within the last year. This was, therefore, a subject which demanded attention. It was suggested, as an object worthy of investigation, by the members of the As sociation, that observations should be made on the appear ance of the dark and luminous arches in the aurora borealis, with a view to determine the connection of the phenomena with those of magnetism. Captain DENHAM, R.N., then proceeded to exhibit his improved mode of producing a red light in light-houses. We believe the experiment was exactly the same us may be seen in the Rock Perch Light-house. The exhibition of Captain Denham's model gave rise to considerable discus sion, in which Professor Faraday and Sir David Brewster took part. These gentlemen doubted the utility of the change. MRS.

Dr. FARADAY took the chair at 11, and said—Nothing could be more important than receiving from gentlemen, celebrated for their works and discoveries, reports which had been called for by the Society. Such a pleasure was now at hand, in a report which would be read by Dr. Thom son, on the comparative analysis of iron in the different stages of its manufacture with the hot and cold blasts. Drs. Dalton and Henry had been associated with him in the execution of his duty. Dr. THOMSON said the analysis had been undertaken in consequence of the difference of opinion which had pre vailed at Bristol, at the last meeting of the association, upon the comparative advantages of the hot and cold blast iron. He did not know what had been done by Drs. Dalton and Henry, for living at a great distance from these gentlemen, he took it for granted that it was intended that each indivi dual should make serairate -experiments. A great quantity of cast iron was made near Glasgow, amounting ani;ually!e 200,000 tons. Glasgow was surrounded by one of the richest coal fields, and the iron ore near was of chloride ility. Of this ore lie had analyzed more tha❑ 80 different cimens, selected with great care. In general some no- tion mi ,, htbe formed of the goodness of ore by its specific gravity; the higher the gravity the better the ore ; but this rule was not without exceptions, as the heaviest ore he met with was alloyed with a mixture of coal, by which its value was depreciated. The heaviest iron stone he had met with in the neighbourhood of Glasgow, h a d a specific gravity of 3,380 - ; but the richest ore in that neighbourhood was 3,056. The lightest specimen of iron stone he had met with was 2,285, and contained • no more than thirty-nine per cent. of iron. Before the ore is put into the furnace, it is always roasted to drive off the carbonic acid, which reduced it thirty-five per cent. Lime was then introduced with it in the furnace as a fluid. The purest limestone used contained 241 per cent. of cal ceums. The coal used for fuel gave 10 per cent. of ashes. _ . Coal was seldom quite free from pyrites, which accounted for the quantities of sulphur formed in cast iron. When iron was smelted in former times, 10 tons of coal were required fur the reduction of one ton of iron. In 1823, when the !node of heating the air was brought into operation, and blasts sufficiently hot to melt lead were introduced into the . furnace, two tons 19 cwt. were only required for the same purpose, 19 cwt. of which were consumed in heating the air, and in heating the boilers of the stPam•cngine used. He considered that coals were used with more economy in the lot than in the cold blasts, because, by the cold blast the heat was carried up the chimney and dispersed, whilst in the hot the heat was instantaneously communicated to the ironstone. This greater concentration of combus tion ain't melt the iron in a greater degree ; this ac counts for the smaller quantity of lime required for fusing the clay, and thence the greater quantity of cast iron obtained from a furnace in a given time. The Carron iron works supplied him with specimens of No. 1 iron, made from hot and cold furnaces. The Carron Company had the reputation of making cast iron of very good quality. The specific gravity of cast iron, smelted by cold hlast, is less than that smelted by hot blasts. The following- was the gravity of a number of specimens of No. I cast iron, smelted by the cold blast, obtained from different furnaces —.5 from Muirkirk, of the following specific gravity : 6.410-6.435-6.493-6.579-6.775. Pyrites, 6.9944. From the Csrron foundry, 6.9888. Clyde works, 7.008. In all tiles., specimens of cast iron other ingredients were found besides iron. Nothing was more astonishing than the differences in the quantity of carbon, which existed in va riolo proportions even when smelted at the same place. He hall examined some hot iron, said to have been Swedish, the specific gravity of which was 7.663, but which, owing to the presence of sulphur, which did not occur in Swedish, he did not believe to be such. Mr. Tennant had examined a .pecimen of cold blast iron, NO. 2, which contained 90i per cent. of iron. He had analysed five specimens of hot blast iron, two of which were the Carron, and three nom the Clyde iron works, where the hot blast was first used, the specific gravity of which were 7 0028-7.0721- 1.1022-1622—while 7.0623 was the mean. From a table of the constituent parts, it appeared that 95i per cent. was the average mean of iron by the hot bast. Hot blast iron is thus obviously purer than cold blast iron.. The manu facture of the iron from the hot blast was not so tough as from the cold blast, but lie did not know what they meant, as the two descri t ations of iron took the same force to break them. The best steel produced at Glasgow, was made by Mr. Tennant, and found tt.; be constituted as follows : Iron 99.68 ; Mangaitese o.ll.lo;Carbon 0.335. They never could get the exact 100 parts by - analysis, andwhere everDeadness they found them , they might be certa;_o it was an ana lysis made on paper. He considered that the the steel was owing to the absence of foreign suth:!anees. If they used the same quantities of coal with a hot bList as with a cold blast, they would not get iron at all, they must only use half the quantity of coal to the hot blast. smelted b y T t h h o e m h s o o t n a t n he n d coldblast, exhibited p f s ro e m c i T h e: sof in Na. same r iron ore. The 1, e force required to break them was the same, being 2,0401bt. the iron being 9-Bths thick. He also exhibited a chain forged of malleable round iron, 7-Bths thick, which had stood the test of 22 tons 7 cwt., or more than twelve tons above the Liverpool chain cable test, This iron had been forged from hot blast iron, A long conversation ensued on the emnparative merits of the iron prepared by the hot and col i• blasts , Dr. TRAIL then read a papa: upon a new compound of antimony as a pigment which he had discovered last winter, when adding a solution of ferroprussiate of • potash to muriate antimony, by w hich he had produced very beautiM blue prussiate, somewhat resembling ultramarine. D. NEIL ocean read a paper on a new safety lamp for mines. His idea was to supply lamps at fixed stations i n t h e m i nes , with air from the surface, hy means of cheap woven p i tc h e d pipes,inte which the air should be injected
