No one can doubt, since a Prize was awarded at the Great Exhibition to Clark's Lamps. They can be had at all prices. Clark's Diamond Lamps are the best in the world for general use. Clark's Vertical Lamp excels and entirely super sedes the French Moderator Lamps. Clark's Pearl Candle Lamp surpasses all other Candle Lamps. All are invited to this unrivalled display. The lamps generally sold are extremely imperfect, and thereby a great public wrong exists. What is more gloomy than a bad light, and what more joyous than a good one? To ensure the only good Lamps, the public must purchase Clark's Lamps, and have none other. The unrivalled assortment is always on show at the Establishment of the Metropolitan Light Company, 447,. Strand, and 1, Adelaide-street, West Strand. RICH iltD CLARK, Resident 24-anager. Please write down the address. MONUMENT to JAMES MOIISON, the HYGEIST. TO TOE EDITOR. Sir,—When Mr. Morison proclaimed that health depends upon the purity of the blvd, and that alone, he as it were emancipated the world from meclical thraldom,and rendered the whole arcana of health and disease clear to the meanest capacity. From this one simple axiom has followed all the light which the new reformers in me dicine have derived. In this really coriiisted the great merit of the Ilygeist. Most extensive experience, however, has proved that the medicine which he used (commonly known as Morison's Pills) was capable of purifying the blood ; in other words, of removing all ob struction to a perfect circulation, the result of which is restoration to health. HEALTH DEPENDS UPON THE PURITY OF THE BLOOD . Sir,—Upon this point everything turns. If health does depend on the purity of the blood, there can be no doubt that the human body should, like a tree, be treated as a whole, and not piecemeal, like a Liece of patchwork ; therefore James Morison, the Hygeist, consi dered as the originator of this great principle is, I think, entitled to the monument which is ha contemplaticn. I remain, Sir, yours, A 111 DEIST. The Immortal Harvey proclaimed the circulation of the blood— James Morison, the Hygcist, proclaimed that health depends upon the purity of the bloA I Such are the merits of the parties.

THE MINIE RIFLE. l e V re oo st r.l a vic t6llooilytaArrtdssufs,:r, so M m A e ßc ti a me 7 .The practice yesterday with thi s new arm was carried on fromrifl wad afterwards the whole of the non-commissioned officers advanced to within 250 yards of the target and commenced firing as if they had been, a skirmishing party and continued firing until they had retired 800 yards from the target. The number of rounds fired during the day was three from the rest by each non commis sinned officer, and ten by each when firing as a re tiring party, and the practice was excellent, a great number of the halls entering the target even at the long range of 800 yard.. The non-commissioned officers assembled again in the marshes to-day, and the practice was carried on by file firing, first, nt 200 yards range ; second,; t 400 yards ; third at 600 yards, and last at 800 yards, each non- commissioned officer firing five rounds at each of the above ranges, or twenty rounds by each man to-day. Several distinguished officers having expressed their intention of being present to witness the practice with the 11.1inic rifle to-day, two 12- pounder howitzers from each of the three troops of Royal Horse Artillery, under the command of Lieu tenant-Colonel Bell, and a 9-pounder field battery, consisting of three 9-pounder guns and one 24. pounder howitzer, arrived in the marshes at one o'clock, P.m., under the command of Colonel Ander son. The distinguished, officers expected from town did rinttnitife; 'bur Were - fiFelebt-Lieliteria - ni: General Sir T. Downtnan, C. 8., ' commandant of the garrison • Lieutenant-General Sir Hew D. Ross, K.C.8., Deputy Adjutant-General of Artillery ; Colonel Blanshard, C. 8., commandant of the Royal Engineers ; Colonel Chalmer, A ss i s t an t Di rec t or - General of Artillery; Colonel Brereton, C. 8., K.H., Royal Horse Artillery; Lieutenant-Colonel Palliser, Lieutenant-Colonel Tborndike, Brigade Major Bring ham; Captain Riddell, Deputy Assistant Quarter master-General to the Royal Artillery ; Brigade Major Walpole, Royal Engineers; Lieutenant- Colonel Alves, and a number of officers on the full and halfpay lists of her Majesty's land forces—there being upwards of one hundred officers present be longing to the various branches of the service, who all appeared greatly interested in witness ing the practice. At the conclusion of the firing of the Minie rifle at 800 yards range, the six 12-pounders of the troops of the Royal Horse Artillery were brought forward to a station at 850 yards range, and five spherical live shells fired from each of these howitzers. The practice was very good at that long range, and showed how destructive the Royal Horse Artillery could be with that description of arm which can be brought into the field with great rapidity with only four horses, and moved and fired by the gunner with equal facility as their light 6-pounders. The 9- pounder field battery was drawn up at 1,000 yards range, and fired spherical shells at that distance. The Royal Horse Artillery subsequently advanced, and tonic up a position at 300 yards distance from the tar get, and five rounds were fired frOm each howitzer at that range with case-shot, which spread considerably with destructive effect. The 9 pounder field battery was brought forward to within 350 yards of the target, and fired a number of rounds of case ih of also with destructive effect. When the firing was discon tinued, shortly after four o'clock, Major Brownrigg, of the Grenadier C4uards, instructed detachments of the Royal Artillery in making signals, or telegraphing intelligence to each other by a plain and simple mode always at hand to operate_ witb. Twelve gunners, six carrying their chacos on the muzzles of their wa hines, and six carrying their great coats in the same way, were brought forward to a station at 750 yards from the mound. Three of the gunners their chacos on the top of their carabines, and, three their great coats, were then marched to the mound and then took up a position upon the top of it, the three carrying their chacos in front, and the three carrying their great coats in the rear, each man separating about two steps from each other. The other six occupied similar positions at the distance of 750 yeards from the party on the mound. The telegraphic communica tions commenced by the three front rank gunners on the mound raising their carabines, surmounted by their chacos, at arm's length above their head, which was ex plained by Major Brownrigg, and responded to by the other three similarly appointed raising their carabines, surmounted by their chacos, over their heads. A similar movement was made by the -three gunners in the rear on the mound, with their great coats. The chacos and great coats were subsequently raised two at a time, and one at a time, from right to left, evi deatly forming a very comprehensive alphabet or understood signals of intelligence. The one party was then brought 100 yards nearer the other, where they went through a similar course of operations, and both parties soon comprehended the object in view, and responded to each other with great rapidity. It is supposed the experiments to-day will conclude the practice with the Mink"! rifle for the present at Wool wich, the firing of the non-commissioned officers to day,rt et could hn b dk e enr w o w i s t l h he e ed d g , ei no e s f n t r d t uh ce a t iuo p sn r e 0 00 0 without rests, at 200, 40 0, 600, and 800 yar d s ranges, i‘ th i a a j t o t r he l ir b r e o h in w a g v n e r a i l g a l g c the new arm. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE MEDITERRANEAN. We have correspondence from Malta to the 2d inst. of some importance. It is already know❑ that the Indefa tigable, 50, Captain Smart, K.H., and the Encounter, 14, screw -corvette, Captain Gordon, had been ordered to Lisbon, and that the Phaeton, 50, Captain G. Elliot, had been sent to Corfu to relieve the Indefatigable. The Encounter arrived at Malta February 27, from TenedJs, mad was ordered to leave on the 9th inst. for England, not. Lisbon, and it was reported at Malta that the Phae ton would likewise follow the Indefatigable to Lisbon. It was stated that Sir William Parker had received orders from the late Board of Admiralty to detach a couple of line-cf-battle ships from his fleet to Gibraltar and Lisbon, and that the Vengeance, 84, Captain Lord E. Russell, had been selected to proceed immediately to Gibraltar, and the Albion, 90, Captain Hope Johnstone, to Lisbon. It was also reported that the heaviest steam-frigate in the Mediterranean, the Terrible, would accompany the Vengeance. Banshee, steam-packet, Lieut. Commander Hosken, arrived at Malta from Marseilles with the Overland India Mail, and brought the dispatches for Sir W. Parker under which he has distributed his force. Spiteful, 6, steam-sloop, Captain G. Parker, arrived at Malts, March 2, for Naples. In our naval intelligence yesterday we stated that her Majesty's steam-ship Dauntless lett Cork at one P.M. on Thursday, and arrived at Plymouth at half-pest eight P.M. on Sunday, making the passage in about 80 hours. The Cork Steam ship Company's steam-vessel' Adler, Captain Tooker, left Cork one hour after the Dauntless, passed her outside, and arrived at Plymouth at five rm. on Friday, making the passage in 27 hour s. It appears that there is a positive order from the Admiralty that her Majesty's steamers shall use their steam power only on emergencies. There being no wind when the Dauntless left Queenstown, she steamed out of harbour, sailed across to within a few miles of Ply mouth, and then got up steam and went into Plymouth. SIB E. BELCHER'S EXPEDITION.—The Resistance and Resolute will be completed by the dockyard this month. The screw-tender Intrepid, it is reported, will be out of the hands of the dockyard at Woolwich by the 28th inst., and the screw-tender Pioneer by the 31st instant. We stated that there were yet some vacancies in Sir E. Belcher's expedition fitting at Woolwich. An assistant surgeon and two men have been entered since Saturday, and there are now vacancies for another assistant-sur geon and a mate or midshipman, and some half-dozen men to make up the fell complement of 182. We may also state that the North Star, Commander Pullen, fitting at Sheerness, had on Monday last vacancies for an officer and half-a-dozen blue-jackets. T H E ARROGANT SCREW-FRIGATE.—Vire are glad to hear that the Arrogant, 46, screw•frigate, Captain R. S. Robinson, is not to be paid off. Orders have been received at Portsmouth for the ship to be refitted for further active service. We are glad to find that the Blenheim, 60, screw fri gate, Captain W. H. Henderson, C.B , has been ordered to fill up her crew to her full sea-going complement, 500. She will be completed by the dockyard about the 18th instant. on the full-pay retired list Captain Thomas Stevens , of the Royal Marines, died in Durnford-street, St one . house, on Monday.

Temporary offices of the Company, 17, Buckleishury. This Company has been formed for the purpose of carrying opt and promoting certain fmportant undertakings within the Rebublic of 'New Granadli, and has made arrangements for the purchase of some most valuable aril extensive mineral.. districts in the provinces of Choco, Antioquia, and llarbacoas, containing gold, silver, plating, cinabar, and other products. The basis of the Company's operations is an agreement for the pur.• chase of a freehold property in the province of Choco, upwards of seventy miles in length, and varying in width from twenty to sixty miles, comprising an area of upwards of one and a half million of acres, upon which a great number of surface mines are stated to have been already discovered. The completion of this purchase is made dependent upon the veri fication of the reports laid before the Hoard, through the testimony of approved agents to be sent out on behalf of the Company, the vendor being entitled in the meantime to call for a payment of 5,0001., upon satisfactory security being lodged with the directors for its repayment,.in case such reports should not be verified. The ba• . lance of the purchase-money is to be paid in shares. A treaty is also in progress for a grant of equal importance in the province of Antioquia, full particulars of which are expected by the next mall. As soon as the report of the Company's agents shall have been received, it will be for the consideration of the Directors what mines shall be worked by this Company, and what portions of the estate shall be granted to other parties. The territory of New Granada has long been known to abound in the precious metals, and an accumulation of recent testimony shows that it offers facilities for the conversion of its rich deposits superior to those which exist either in California or in Australia. Santa Martha and Carthagena, the principal seaports, are within twenty-five days' sail of England ; and the Directors will thus be enabled to receive early and regular hfformation, and to retain a proper control over the management of the Company's affairs, the want of which is so severely felt in undertakings carried on in more distant regions. The gold deposits are stated to be much more regular and constant than In other gold fields, being found principally In rich veins of black sand and gravel. The Atrato, Magdalena, and other large rivers run through the whole tract of country in which the mines are situated, affording the advantage of water carriage—the most important stations being approachable by vessels of large burden. The projected Ship Canal, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, through the territories of the Republic of New Granada, will greatly enhance the value of the surrounding property, besides securing the independence of that country by the combined support of all the great maritime powers. A convention for this purpose (commonly called the Bulwer treaty) was signed at Washington on 19th April, 1850, between Great Britain and the United States, and has since been ratified in London. _ _ _ A Concession has already been granted by the Government of New Granada for the construction of this canal on advantageous terms, and certain beneficial modifications are now under the consi deration of that Government. A careful survey and estimate of the expense of constructing the canal is in course of preparation, under the joint superintendence of the concessionnaires and the directors of this Company. To carry out a work so important to the interests r f the commer cial world, a new Company will be formed, and application will be made on its behalf for a charter of incorporation. The Directors of the New Granada Company, in consideration of the value of their co-operation, have made arrangements with the concessionnaires of the Canal for securing to their shareholders a moiety of all the ad vantages which may be derived from the concession, whether arising from the sale of that concession, or from an optional pro rata participation by the individual shareholders of this Company in the shares of the Company which shall undertake the construction of the Canal. The promoters of this undertaking have consented to receive in full of all claims fur their interest 6,000 paid-up shares, and one tenth of the net surplus profit which may remain divisible in each year, after paying a dividend of ten per cent. to the shareholders. A working capital of 66,000/. is deemed sufficient for carrying on a very remunerative business, but in proportion as success attends the operations of the Company, and further working capital can be profitably employed, the shareholders for the time being will have the option of a pro rata allotment.

This Company having purchased the fee-simple of eight sections, containing 653 acres of mineral ground and freehold land, at Strath albyn, about 30 miles from Adelaide, in South Australia, and within 38 miles of the Murray River, is formed for the working of the valu able copper mines which have been opened out and partially worked there, but to render which extensively productive, more efficient ma chinery is required. Ten lodes have been proved, varying from 4,6, to 10 feet thick, at depths from 14 to 28 fathoms, and there is no reason to doust the Strathalbyn district is a continuation of the same favourable ground in which are the celebrated Burra Burra and Kapunda Mines. The mineral riches of the South Australian district have never been surpassed in the history of mining enterprise, the Burra Burra Mine alone having produced in five years 738,1081. worth of Copper ore. The following is a copy of the report of Messrs. Johnson and Mat they : " The sample of copper ore from the Strathalbyn Mines, assayed. far Messrs.

(including a new 80-inch engine lately, at a cost of about 4 0001:), the balance of undivided profits carried to the next account is 2,052/. There are large reserves of ore, and the mine never looked better. The last five years' profit was 76,932/., or on the average 15,3861. per annum, or 21. 88. per share. The dividends (tre payable three times a year, and may be received in Lond on. The next will be due in July. Only one share (1-128) has been sold since November, 1840, and no share would now be offered but that the decease of a proprietor requires the discharge o f mortgage in cumbrances on real property ; a part of his interest is, in conse quence, to to disposed of, but the executor will still retain a very large majority. A limited number of shares is therefore offered at a price to pay the purchaser, on the average of the last five years, about 18 per cent. per annum. Applications to be made to Mr. George Thomas, at.

Mr. Jui,tice Torrens has been obliged to come to Dub lin from circuir, owing to severe illness. The venerable Judge presided at the Queen's County Assiz-s on Mon day, when he was but badly able to get through the business. His Lordship passed sentence of death, to be commuted to transportation for life, on Mr. Matthew Colgan, convicted of administering poison to his wife, with intent to murder her. The poor woman died from the effects of • it; but some doubts were raised on the trial as to whether he actually designed to destroy her life. John Fahey, who had been convicted of the murder of Judith M‘Donnell, was then placed at the bar, and after a feeling address his Lordship ordered sentence of death to be recorded against him, to be commuted to transpor tation for life. THE MTJNSTER EXHIBITION. Yesterday there was a meeting at the Mansion-house, convened by the Lord Mayor, for the purpose of pro moting the success of the proposed Munster Exhibition. Sir R. Kane, Mr. J. C. Deane, Mr. L. Foot, and other gentlemen, addressed the meeting. It appears from the observations of the speakers, that the great majority of the Irish exhibitors in the Crystal Palace have agreed to send equally attractive article■ to Cork on this occasion, and that other manufacturers and producers of farming stock, stimulated by the example and success of the " Great Exhibition," have promised to contribute. CONVICTION OF A MONK FOR BIBLE-BURNING. ' Brother John Bridgman, a monk of the order of St ' Francis, was tried and convicted of a riot, at the Mayo assizes, on Saturday last, before Baron Lefroy. In fact; the offence of the monk was for scandalously burning a , Bible, and thereby creating a riot. The local paper thus gives the charge:— " John Syngian Bridgman, otherwise John St. John, otherwise Brother John, stood indicted for that he, not having the fear of God before his eyes, but contriving and intending to scandalise and vilify the true Protestant religion, as by law established within these realms, and to blaspheme the Holy Gospel of God and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, did, on the 23d day of November, in the fifteenth of the Queen, at the parish of B-dlyovey, unlawfully, wickedly, and blasphemously, in the presence of divers liege subj -cts of our Queen, sat fire to and partly consume by fire a copy of the Holy Gospel of God, being the uuthorised version thereof appointed to be read in churches, called the New Testament; and then and there, holding in his hands said New Tes tament, wickedly and blasphemously, in the presence and hearing of divers liege subjects, then and there pro nourxed and spoke with a loud voice, and published of and concerning said New Testament, as aforesaid, these profane nod most blasphemous words—that is to say, that It' (meaning the New Testament) is the Word of Ged, but the word of the Devil—and the De vil's Book—Luther's Bible—or - your heretic Bible,' to the great dishonour of Almiguty God, and iu contempt of the Protestant religion, and to the great scan dal of the p ro f ess i on thereof, and against the peace," The prisoner was defended by Mr. Keogh, M.P. It will be seen by the subjoined note of Baron Lefroy's charge, that this venerable judge took a merciful view of the charge against the prisoner, indeed, it may almost be said he was his best counsel:— The Learned JUDGE charged the jury. He said-1 am anxious that this case should be confined within the limits required by the law, and shall state to you what that law is. It is for you to say whether those charges have been proved or not, and whether you are satisfied that he said he was not burning the Word of God but the word of the Devil, and whether the words were applied to the authorised version of the Holy Scriptures, and whether the burning of that book is consistent with the reverence due to that ver sion of the Scriptures authorised by the law of the laud. In this case he is indicted for burning the authorised version, but the offence is Equally appli cable to any other version of the Scriptures, whether it be the Douay Bible or the Rhenish Testament, and the words used would be blasphemous against either version, as showing a want of reverence for the Scrip tures, because it is not the version of the Scriptures which will warrant the commission of such an offence. ' It is not because fallible men cannot agree upon a trans lation of a portion of the Scriptures that they are to be treated with this want of reverence—that because it is not a particular translation it shall be treated with such villification. Is it to be held that when the law of the land sanctions a certain version, and calls it the autho rised version, it is to ba raid that any man, be his opi nions what they may, shall pour contempt on it, and thus be guilty of a violation of the law? Is he to be at li berty to throw that book into the fire, and say that he shall vilify that book which the law has sanctioned? It has been said to you that this act must be done with in tent,d and on that the law is clear—every man is presur t e a to understand the consequences of his own acts: man can throw a book into the fire,' whettir it be a Douay Bible or the authorised version, and if t you u be lieve that he did not intend any contempt, ben you should acquit him; but if you believe that ho did burn the book, and made use of the language, it will be your duty to find him guilty. The jury retired, and after about half-an-hour's deliberation returned a verdict of Guilty. Immediately on the Clerk of the Crown reading the verdict, Mr. Blake, Q.C., said to his Lordship that the Crown did not wish to press for any punishment in this case, the object of the prosecutors being to p ut a stop to such acts. The LEARNED BARON was very glad to hear Counsel for the Crown say so, and trusted there would be no further acts of this kind perpetrated, and, after a brief addowress to sentence: the prisoner, concluded b y pronouncing the folling To give bail, himself in 201., and two sureties in 104 each, to keep the peace and good behaviour to ell her majesty's subjects fur seven years, and to collie up for judgment when called upon, getting ten days' notice." ---_—_______—....... . INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS. On Tuesday, (James M. Bendel, Esq., President, in the chair), in the discussion on the two papers by Mr, Window and Mr. Adley on the electric telegraph, the various instruments introduced by Cooke and Wheat stone, Henley, Brett, Bain, Bakewell, and Siemens were exhibited and described, their several peculiar merits being fully explained. The system of under -ground wires, coated siewith gotta Siemens percha and lead, as introduced in Prussia bYbfr• 'a - i ff i n2 „ ty in 1848, was stated to be perfectly successful, no he wires; existing, in discovering leaks, or injuries when any occurred which was very seldom, they extended over nearly easily repaired.

The learned pr o f essor cornmen . eee b y observing that his official. position at th e Exhibition bad brought him iero daily contact with t h e subjects of which he had to treat; but his lecture would necessarily be deficient in point of novelty. In class 2at the Exhibitioia he found an article which, though not an agricultural product, had a cJose connexion to agriculture: lie referr e d to un ex traction of potaAs • from sea wat er . Potash was a salt gpaptliyon was m ost i mportant. It that our b r i ne sprins -peculiarly essential to vegetable life, an d to the. agricul mtuirgishtt this e fo n h e h w d source in of e s s t u t contained sufficient potash to pay for its extraction but at present the shores of the Mediterranean were the principle seat of the manufacture. I t was to an enlightened French chemist that the agri cultural world was indebted for this invention. In class 3 the hybrid wheats were deservin g of special attention. The advantage of crossing wheats had been already • - pointed----eut -to the society, and they had been fold that the process had not yet been carried out to any great extent. Great credit was due not only to the botanist who had stated the theory, but to the farmer who had demonstrated the practicability of the process in the field. The question was being agitated amongst agriculturists whether or not the manufacture of beet-root sugar could be car ried on beneficially in this country. The history of the cultivation of beet-root showed how readily science lent her aid in the various exigencies which from time to time arose. From the necessity of replacing an article proscribed by Napoleon had arisen what was now admitted on all hands to be a beneficial branch of industry. le a specimen at the Exhibition, which came from Valenciennes, every particle ot the root was con verted into a mercantile commodity, by which the cost of manufacture was considerably reduced. How far the cultivation could be introduced into this country remained to be seen. Statistics might encourage atten tion to it. In Belgium in 1848 and 1849, the make of beet -root sugar was 4,300 tons; in 1850, 7,000 tons; in the past year, 14,000 tons. In the Zollverein, in 1848, the quantity made was 26 000 tons, and in 1851 it increased to 40,000 tons, the consumpti on o f cane sugar diminishing in n ear l y the same ratio. In Russia, about 85,000 tons were consumed annually, of which 35,000 were made from beetroot, and the manufacture was rapidly increasing. Austria consumed about 40,000 tons in 1848, of which 30,000 were made from beet root. The quantity of beet -root sugar, in 1850, was rather more than doubled. In France, according to the Monileur Industrie!, the manufacture in 1850 reached 60,000 tons, half the whole consumption ; and on the Ist of December, 1851, the same paper stated that there were 322 manufactories in full operation, which showed an increase of - 23 on the number in the preceding year. These facts claimed the attention of agriculturists in this country; and it appeared to him that if they established a cross between the heavy crop mangel wines' and the rich Silesian beet they would have all the elements of success. This led him to another pro cess—the preservation of vegetables. This process, which it was most desirable to carry out in this country, consisted of two parts—the evaporation of the con stituent water, and, afterwards, compression, for the purpose of reducing the pulp to a state of security against contact with the atmos phere. The result was, that vegetables re mained uninjured for a considerable time. In class 4, a council medal was given to M. Gros for a particular de scription of wool. The peculiar quality of the wool was the first result obtained by the Exhibition. He subse quently turned his attention to the increase of the fleece and also of the meat, and other points in the animal. This was some six or eight sears ago. The improve mente were now most satisfactory. In this country, where the consumption of mutton and of wool was so enormous, the relative value of the two bad excited great attention amongst farmers. At present tho relative prices of the two articles were about equal ; but circucae s'ances connected with our wool-producing colonies reader it probable that the supply from them would not be so great as it had been, and in lhat case the farmer might find that he had been manufacturing the wrong Tula cou:slcratiou might require a modifica tion of present practice. Again, Messrs. Brotherton ex ' hibited specimens of rapeseed oil, which they hod pre- Fired in large quantities aunually for the lubrication of machinery. This oil was pus titularly adapted for locomo tive engines on account of the absence of foreign ingre dients; and rho fact that the 'North-Western Railway Company alone consumed more than 40,000 gallons of oil au: ually, and were offering eecourregieg prices, might well secure tile attention of agriculturists to tbo subject. He now came to class 9 for ugricuhural implements. The first imphmcnt which he should notice was the reapin?: natien:ho, which had excited so much interest in the !arming community. In this class there were two specimens, two American and one English, though th e laWr was identical with one of the ushers. Now, on this subject he was about to offer evidence against the award made to an American, and for that purpose he must sketch the history of these machines. At the commencement of the present century he found a ma chine introduced by Mr. Boyce, in which a short scythe, like knives, attached to a revolving contrivance, was the principle by which the cutting was effected. After mentioning three or four succeeding inventions of the same character down to 1811, the lecturer proceeded to speak of an improved reapi ng ma chine invented by the late Mr. Smith, of Dean s t on, for which, after a successful trial, the Dalkeith Club awarded a premium to the inventor. From that period, ho said;dowu to 1835, this machine was tested occasionally at different harvests, and received improvements. li e himssef saw it at work, cutting an acre and a quarter of corn per hour. As to Mr. MeCormick'e machine, a de scriplon •• of it would be found in the Mechanic's Maga zinc in 1825. After tracing the history ot other inven tions and improvements iu reaping machines, he re marked that the most important invention of all sees that of the Rev. Hr. Bell, in 1826, which had been in constant use in the north ever since; while the fact th four machines of that kind were supplied to • at o the United States about 1831 or 1832, would probably account for the great similarity between Mr. Bare m leek,e end one of the thE se exhibited in the U n i te d States department at hibition.—(Laughter.) U 0 then referred to sepa rate diagrams of Bell's and Huss ' - soy machines, and drew attention to the points of resemblance. After claiming tbr Mr. remarked 13e1 1 theehief m er it i n the matter, th le .tur r at som length on theadvantagese e to be derived from the use of reaping machines, d that great improvements would be made both in work ing and economy. Reference was then made to the churning implements, and p of increased attention to temperature;es-ecially to the impo a r , t te ance of to the power which often arose from construction waste the defective of engines; and to cut ting turnips , on the He congratulated the company gradual displacing waggons of - - -aggons by carts; and in illustra tion observed that last year five horses in carts were matched against tea iu waggous, and the tire hores beat the ten by two loads. The lecture concluded with some remarks on the importance of extended education in re ference to the cultivation of the soil; and, as regarded agriculture it was observed that they should never rest satisfied till it occupied the position which it ought to do as a sci ent ifi c manufacture, and as one of the most vital and important of all our industrial resources. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Col. CHALLONER, a vote of thanks was given to the professor. acktowledked t at :, with all the known imperfecti ons , the over-ground syst em h a d hitherto proved the best end most econernical in Englund; a! the same time, the great merit of gurta perelae, as a means of insulation, was fully admitted. It was shown that ga!var.ic action was being exten sively used in Berlin, for communicating between the various Government offices and the fire and police sta tions; and at Boston, for a complete network of fire alarms to the different stations of the engines. The origin of the idea of the submarine telegraph was given, and the construction of the wire laid down between England and France was described. it ap peared that on that station the common needle instru ment had hitherto been generally used, but that occa sionally messages were recorded by means of Brett's Printing Telegraph, which might eventually be made very useful. MACHINES AND MEN. This question has a very wide bearing as regards those of the labouring classes whom the invention of new and improved machinery may dislodge from their former occupations. How the workng classes are to " o bt a in the full benefits and a d vantages of the " labour saving process, is a pr o bl em wh i ch we have not yet see n satisfactorily solved, but it is one that will press for solution with increasing urgency from day to day. One w ould naturally infer that the improvement of ma chinery, by which the drudgery and hard work of the h co ig m h f e o r rts , end powers of man's nature. The machine which world is performed, s h ou ld g i ve gr eater leisure, greater improved facilities for culture of the liberates so much of mere human drudgery ought to be a great blessing; it ought to give to the working classes more time that they can call their own; more leisure for self-culture, for domestic intercourse, for social and po litical ac. ion. We fear this matter has not yet been seen to ; an d if we listen to the discu t E b sieoxni:notiongrs and around us odevery side, we find that it is the socu:rvichtio: much of the cli&quiet and unrest which pervade modern society.
