FRANCIS TUCKER AND CO., South Molton-street, Grosvenor-square. Manufactory— Kensington (Established 1730). The largest Establishment in England for the Manufacture of Wax Candles for the use of the Altar. Naval and Military Intelligence. The large steam traction engine which has been sent into Chatham dockyard by Messrs. Aveling and Porter, of Rochester, for use at that establish ment, underwent' a. variety of tests yesterday, in the presence of Captain Stewart, C. 8., the superinten d4nt and t4e . Aer officials of . the dockyard, in order to test its, working capabilities when em ployed in the ordinary service of the yard. It was first put to remove one of the large 61-tons 6-in. armour-plates preparing for encasing the sides of the frigate Bellerophon. The plate was picked up at the factory and transferred to the other end of the dockyard, where it was de posited near the spot where the plate was to be fixed, the whole occupying but a very few minutes, while under the ordinary arrangements the opera tion would have tasked the energies of a number of labourers, assisted by a team of horses, for some hours. The engine was next taken to the centre wharf and there lifted one of the disused screw pro pellers of the Cadmus, 21, 400-horse power, weigh ing several tons. It was rapidly moved to the place intended for it, the engine conveying it at the rate of six miles per hour. In order to lift the heavy weights required to be moved by the traction engine, a crane is attached to it, which by a simple arrange ment can hoist weights up to six tons. The advan tages resulting from this arrangement were mani fest yesterday, the engine, among its other labours, being put to lift between two or three tons of old metal, which was effected in a very few . minutes. The metal,' still attached to the crane, was removed to another portion of the yard, which was again lowered to the spot intended for its reception. Alto_ gether, the results of the preliminary trials of the working of the engine were pronounced very satis factory. The engine, it should be mentioned, being required, among its other, duties, to traverse the sides of the building ships amid highly combustible materials, is provided with a sparkcatcher, so that not a single spark can escape from the funnel. The firebox is, at the same time, so contrived as to pre vent any of the cinders from being scattered about. No apprehension of danger, therefore, appears to be felt in the least degree from the employment of the engine even when in the midst of shavings and chips. Yesterday Mr. Warrener, the representative of Messrs. Maudslay, Son, and. Field, proceeded to test, with water pressure, the engines and boilers of the iron vessel Valiant, 24 guns, 4,063 tons, 800-horse power, now lying at Sheerness. From two or three times the ordinary pressure was applied, with the greatest success, and the trial was highly satisfactory. Capt. W. K. Hall, Mr. W. Rumble, inspector of machinery afloat, of the Sheerness steam reserve, were in attendance during the trial: The repairs to her Majesty's screw steam frigate Bristol, 39 guns, 3,027 tons, 600-horse power, Mas ter-in-charge, John T. C. Webb, which have been going on for some months in the large basin in Sheerness yard, will be completed about the 18th inst. The vessel will then be taken to the measured mile of Maplin Swills to test her machinery and speed. If the trial be successful she will be placed in the first division of the steam reserve, to await commission Orders have been received at Sheerness dockyard from the Lords of the Admiralty to proceed at once to make good the defects of the Ariadne, 26, screw steam frigate, 3,214 tons, 800-horse power. She is to be brought forward for the first division of the Sheerness steam reserve. Thd Torch, 5, screw gun vessel, 428 tons, 80-horse power, was brought from Chatham to Sheerness this day, and commenced taking in coals from the coal hulk preparatory to her trial at the measured mile, which is to take place on Thursday next. The Rugby, gunboat, Lieut.-in-command F. W. Prosser, tender to the Dauntless, 31, screw steam ship, 1,575 tens, 580-horse power, Coastguardship in the River Humber, Capt. J. M. Strange, was on Monday taken at full speed for a run of seven miles to test her machinery, having undergone extensive repairs at Sheerness. The run was made in 60 mins. ; vacuum, 27 ; pressure of steam, 32 ; revolutions of engines, 172. The trial was very satisfactory. The Ruby will proceed to her destination as soon as she has taken on board the stores, &c. for the Dauntless. Her Majesty's iron steam storeship Supply, Staff Commander Charles Bawden, laden with a full cargo of victualling and dockyard stores for the Mediter ranean fleet, yesterday sailed from Woolwich for Gibraltar and Malta.

Mr. Richardson, C.E., whose method of utilising petroleum to supersede coal and coke for steam pur poses is now under the consideration of Govern ment, has been requested by the Admiralty to lay his drawings for the manufacture of a wrought iron grate suitable for carrying out the experiment of burning the oil on an extensive scale before the au thorities of Woolwich Dockyard, the Admiralty engi neers having reported favourably on the system. A lecture on petroleum is announced to be given on the 16th inst. by Mr. Richardson at the United Ser vice Museum, in which he will endeavour to prove , the absence of danger from the contact of a lighted match, a candle, or a simple spark, with the petro leum, unless it be heated to a temperature of 80 or 90 deg. Fahrenheit. During the course of experi ments at Woolwich Commodore Dunlop asked Mr. Richardson what would be the probable effect of a red-hot cannon ball passing through the petroleum tank on board a ship of war. His reply was, " that it would merely vapourise the oil, and that the va pour, unless made to pass through flame, would escape without doing any harm." He added "tha t, if the comm .— inde - 1- of a ship should have any misgiv ings or fear of danger, the oil might be used only after the petroleum spirit had been extracted from it. _ A hundred tow of this," he stated, " would be of no PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. more danger on board than 100 tons of butter or lard, as it would vapourise until well boiled." In our report of the proceedings at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, inserted in The San of the 24th ult., the name of a cadet, Mr. Freeth, who obtained a prize for first landscape drawing, namely, fthe English school of painting in water colours, was inadverte n tly omitted.

Mr. Glaisher's Second Winter Balloon Ascent, December 30, TO TILE EDITOR OF TILE SUN. Sir,—During the period of winter very few bal loon ascents have ever been made, and mountains are not climbed at this time, so that we are in ignorance of all connected with the higher regions of the atmosphere at this season of the year—of the progressive diminution temperature with elevation —of the diffusion of vapour—of the density and thiiltneSs of elovdserVArttf-t)e cold currents of air, &c. It is, therefore, the most important for experiments, but 'at the same time the most difficult season to pursue them. I was desirous to ascend on the shortest day, but circumstances, and Mr. Coxwell being out of health, delayed it till Friday, Dec. 30. On this day, at the time of the beginning to fill the balloon, the wind was S.S.W., giving the promise of 100 miles of country, but on its comple tion the wind was west,•or directly towards the 'sea. Pilot balloons at first went nearly E., and at a moderate elevation indicated a N.W. current. The W. wind is the worst possible starting from Wool wich, and the one we have endeavoured to, avoid. At this time, at Greenwich, the anemometer indi cated a very slow motion, and we resolved to use the gas, as we thought two hours might elapse before reaching the sea. On leaving at 2h. 121 m. p.m. our course was E.N.E. over Plumstead marshes and towards the river Thames, but when about 500 feet high, and before reaching the river, the direction changed to E. nearly. At 2,200 feet we were in cloud; were nearly over the river, north of Erith, at 2h. 24m., when at the height of 2,600 ft. At this time there were fully 150 vessels under us; the river seemed dottedwith ships. Our course then seemed to be over each bight of the river, and had it continued . so we "should have passed into Kent. On entering the clouds at 2h. 29m. at the height of 2,600 feet, we lost sight of the earth, 400 feet higher the cloud was dark and dense ; at 3,200 feet it was dense, but bright, and :When 200' feet higher we passed out of the cloud into brilliant sunshine—a beautiful purpian un clouded sky—it felt warm and looked like surdaer, and was a great contrast to the dull leaden - sky we had left. Under us was a perfect sea of dazzling white cloud, its surface varied with an infinite number of gauze-like films, evidently caused by the very rapid evaporation then going on from its upper surface. The; image . of the balloon, the car, and ourselves was perfect and very fine. It was with regret that I could not make many experiments here ; but Mr. Coxwell said, " In a very short time we shall be two miles high, we must not ascend higher than we are, or keep above the clouds longer," and very energetically pulled the valve line. He parted with a great deal of gas before the balloon took a downward motion, and then, on dipping into [ the cold-wet-cloud, we descended so quickly, (1,100 feet per minute) that the instruments could not take up their successive temperatures till we were within 700 feet of the earth. This rapid descent was checked - at the expense of a large amount of sand. Thus we lost both gas and ballast. On taking care ful note of our position we found . thatwe -were about a mile north of Purfiect, and moving directly to wards the middle of Sea-reach. At 2h. 54m. we were about 11 miles north of Grays, and moving towards Mucking, and when approaching it we de scended, with' the intention of landing near to the river-side---but on coming to within 300 feet of the earth we fell into a current that took us somewhat inland, and in the direction of Stanford-le-Hope-- Mr. Coxwell brthight the balloon to the earth, close to the railway station, at ten minutes after three, about twenty miles from Woolwich. The anemome ter at Greenwich in the same time had registered seven miles. The temperature of the ground before starting was. Vi deg. ; at 500 ft. it was 401 deg. ; at 1,000 ft., 37 deg. ; at 2,000 ft., 33i deg. ; at 2,500 ft., in the cloud, 31 deg. ; at 3,300 ft., just at the upper boundary of the cloud, 27 deg. ; at 3,700 ft., 400 ft. above the cloud, it was 312.. On descending it de creased to 28 deg. in the cloud, and then increased to 38i at 900 ft. high. There was no change from this height to 300 ft. from the earth, when the in struments were picked up. At ten minutes after wards the same temperature was found on the ground—viz., 381. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the temperature was 39 deg.; without change between the hours of two and three. The temperature at which vapour was deposited as water was, on the earth, 35 deg., or about 7i deg. lower than that of the air ; at 1,000 ft. high it was 6 deg. below ; at 2,000 ft., 3 deg. ; in the cloud, 1 deg., showing that the air was very nearly satu rated ; but above the cloud the air was very dry, it being necessary to cool the instruments down to 13 deg. or 14 deg., or 17 deg. below that of the air, before any moisture was visible. The actual amount of water present in a cubic :oot of air was 21 grains on the ground, 11 grains in the clouds, and grain above the clouds. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, there were 2 grains in the same mass of air. Unlike the previous:asc,ent, the balloon was con stantly in a state of revolution, and I did not suc ceed in obtaining a single magnetic observation No ozone was shown. It was unfortunate that the wind changed to the direction it did. The time for observation was so shortened in consequence that the facts, which if sufficiently numerous at this time in the year would be very valuable, were too limited ; all that could be done was done by Mr. Coxwell, and he kept up to the last moment. The management of a balloon in the winter season is far more exacting upon him than one in summer ; indeed, winter ascents are so upon both of us, and increases the regret that when undertaken should not produce a finer series of observations than I could take on this occasion.—l am, &c., JAMES G-LAISHER. Blackheath, Jan. 3. THE WEATHER IN THE NORTll._Winter set in in earnest on New Year's-day in the north-eastern counties. The air was intensely cold, and the frost was very keen. Most of the ponds and small sheets of water in Northumberland were covered with ice on Monday and, as that day was a general holiday in th e north, troops of skaters from the large towns were out in the country enjoying that manly exercise.

The deaths at 60 years and upwards rose from 323 in the previous week to 417 last week. The mean temperature of the air in the first week of December was 44.9 deg. In the three following weeks it was 37.3 deg., 34.5 deg., and 35.6 deg. Last week the thermometer fell on five nights below the freezing point of water.

Of the 282 deaths from bronchitis, all except 89, occurred among persons 20 years old and up wards ; 115 occurred in the period from GO to 80 years. The cold weather has raised the mortality, principally by producing or aggravating this form of disease among the old. Eight nonagenarians died in the week. The oldest were two widows aged 95 and 96 years. Typhus predominated among zymotic diseases— it caused 90 deaths ; measles caused 42 ; scarlatina 53, both of the latter complaints having declined in the week. Five deaths from measles were registered in the Kensington Town sub-district ; 11 frOm typhus in the Greenwich district, which contains Deptford and Woolwich: . - Eighteart etrth . s - from typhus were recorded,in Islington West, in which sub-district the London Fever Hospital is situated.

In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1854- 63 the average number (corrected) was 1,824. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30.047 in. The mean daily reading was above . 30in. on the first five days. The reading of the barometer was 30.39 in. on Sunday ; it fell to 29.62 in. on Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 35• G deg., which is 1.3 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature occurred on Thursday, and was 43.5 deg. The lowest night temperature was 27.8 deg., and occurred on Tues day. The range in the week was, therefore, 15.7 deg. The mean daily range was 6.2 deg. On Sunday, Monday, and Thursday the range was only about 3 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 5.3 deg. The mean degree of humidity was 81, complete saturation being represented by 100. On four days the prevailing direction of the wind was north-east. On Wednesday and the two fol lowing days it was south-west. The whole amount of rain or melted snow was the tenth part of an inch, which fell on Saturday. The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Thames was 43.8 deg. ; that of the lowest was 36.1 deg. The births registered in Dublin during the weeks ending the 24th and 31st of December were 138 and 185, and the deaths 151 and 170 for the same periods. The population of Dublin (municipal limits) was 254,808 in 1861, spread over an area of 3,808 statute acres. The Collision in the Blackheath Tunnel, Yesterday Mr. C. J. Carttar,the coroner relative for to the western edeaths division of Kent, resumed an inv esti g ation at the Free mason's Tavern, Woolwich Dockyard, of Edwin Allum and John Cullen, who, with others, lost their lives by the collision which occurred in the Black heath Tunnel on the 9th ult. The Coroner said that since the jury had met there had been on Saturday last another death—that of Joseph Hunt the driver. The jury having been resworn in order to include the case of ;Hunt, after John Forest Hunt, of Folkestone, in Kent, had stated that he had seen the body and identified it as that of his brother, the coroner and jury proceeded to the hospital in order to take the evidence of one of the wit nesses who was there confined from injuries received by the accident. The unfortunate man, Thomas Randall, was then brought in upon a chair carried by bearers. The Coroner said—l have taken the evidence of the two platelayers, and I must impress upon you upon this solemn occasion to tell the truth and nothing but the truth. In reply to questions put by the Coroner, he then said that his house is at 23, Brook's-place, Old Kent-road. He was breaksman to the ballast-train at the time of the col lision. He was in the last carriage on the ballast train. The tail lamps were lighted. The platelayers were in the next compartment of the next carriage to him. He did not, while in the tunnel, ask any of the platelayers or any one else for a lucifer or a light' and 'no one asked him for a lucifer or a light. He had his lamp. No one told him to put on his break and keep it on. Some one said, "Put, your break on, Tom," but did not know who it was. There was a great fog, and the tunnel was full of smoke. No one got out of the carriage. He did not know who spoke to him. He did not know that Lancaster spoke to him. He was not aware that the train was going to be divided, nor was he aware that it was divided. He did not hear any one speak at all, except to tell him to put his break on. He felt the train going back, and he dropped his break in order to stop it. He did not know who said to him, "Put the break on." He had seen Lancaster since he had been in the hospital. It was last Friday week. He returned on the Monday afterwards, "and on Friday week he asked wit ness how he was getting on. There was no conversation as to what had taken place in the tunnel. The Coroner—l may as well tell you explicitly that Lan caster has sworn that he came back to you and spoke to you before the collision. Witness—That is not true. The Coroner—He states that he came 'back to you and told you to keep your break on. Are you sure that it was not his voice that told you to put your break on ? Witness—l do not know that it was his voice. The Coroner—Did he not come to you and take a light ? Witness—l never spoke to Lancaster, nor he to me, un less it was he who told me to put the break on, The tuu- STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Jan. 3. —Many of our leading spin ners, manufacturers, and buyers are away,. and there has not been a full attendance at the Exchange to-day in consequence of the holidays. The market has been further very seriously affected by the re ported success of the Federal arms in America, and the report (very vaguely and obscurely given in the telegrams) of a motion in the Confederate Congress in favour of peace. The result has been that we have scarcely had anything worth calling a market. The market for shipping yarns has been flat, and sellers report doing nothing. Any spinners wishing to press business would have to take lower prices. Home trade yarns very dull, with scarcely business enough to test prices, .but they may ,be quoted. id. to id. per lb. lower, than on Friday. • The cloth market has been quite as inactive as that for yarns. There has been scarcely any business done, in fact, but in the absence of„transactions by which to test , the strength of prices, it may be said that the feeling of sellers would have disposed them in most cases to accept rates a shade under those of Friday. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report : " But little has been done during the past week, w P e ric h e a s v , e h n o o w t e th v e er t , es a t r o e f a u e n tu ch al an and to-day there i s no di s p os iti on t o o p era t e . ged business, and, l a l d l t e h r s o u a g r l e l too firm to enable us to alter our quotations." LEEDS, 3d.—The opening woollen cloth markets here for the new year have been of much the same character as reported for the last few weeks. There was but a small attendance of buyers and sellers, and the amount of business done was restricted to a few miscellaneous parcels of goods and to pur chasers of odd lots of plain cloths, tweeds, and mel tons. The tone of the market, both as to prices and the prospects of the spring trade, was cheerful, and the lack of purchasers arose chiefly from the fact that merchants have scarcely concluded their annual stock-taking. Stocks are believed to be in a moderate compass, though they have increased within the last few weeks. Manufacturers are quite as well employed as before the Christmas holidays, and the same may be said as to dyers and cloth dressers. The prices of wool are the same as last week, and dealers are firm in their demand. NOTTINGHAM, 3d.—There was a better attend- ante at the Exchange-hall to-day, but the demand for lace yarns was slow, prices undergoing no mate- rial change. Hosiery yarns were also in limited request, prices being firm. Silks very firm, with the prospect of an advance. The demand for brown nets was dull, and very little business was done, at about previous quotations. ROCHDALE, 2d—There has been a small attend ance in the fiannel-maket to-day. Merchants being engaged in stock-taking and settling of the past year's accounts, bought but few goods. The manu facturers are tolerably well employed, and are look ing for a better demand for their products rth the turn of the season. Late prices are well maintained for both heavy and light goods. There was a very limited business done in low Yorkshire woollens the market for which is , b y a determination of the Yorkshire manufacturers, about to be transferred from Rochdale to Halifax. As the market at the latter town will be held on Saturday, there appears 00l there is no no good reason wh y some of the manufactur ers , at least, should no t attend here on th e Mondays as in p on s t S a a p t l u e r d r s a a y r se. firm in their demands, but man ufacturers are purchasing ver y cau ti ous ly. well ehan gase D C e o e e rn m m i e 3e r r c . e h T a s h e r e L c i e t i t v l e e d u a a d t t v i e i c a e r r s BLOCKADE RUNNER.—Th e Li ver p oo l J ourna l of i f : di fro m t Na Nassaus tO . n l ic s . t .s h ,.. 29, with 622 bales of cotton. She was chased, and had to throw overboard 154 bales to escape capture. She sailed again on Dec. 5, and returned on the 10th, having been driven off the bar. The steamer Wild Rover has arrived at Nassau with a cargo of cotton, having made a second round trip. On the evening of the Gth ult. the steamer Stormy Petrel was wrecked on the bar going into New Inlet. It is supposed that she struck a sunken vessel. This was her fourth attempt to get into a southern port. The steamer Emma Henry was captured by the Cheroko, formerly the blockade-runner Thistle. THE WEATHER IN SCOTLAND.—The " fresh" which set in on Sunday night continued on Monday, reduced the streets of Edinburgh to that disagreeable con dition of slopiness which attends a rapid thaw succeeding a heavy fall of snow. The weather again changed on Mon day night to frost, and covered the pavements with a thin coating of ice, which rendered walking very difficult and unsafe. It appears that the snowstorm of Saturday night has been very general over the country—the average fall being about six inches. In some upland districts it was Imuch heavier, reaching in some places about a foot. The fresh fall of snow has increased the anxiety of sheep farmers for the safety of their fiocks.—Scotsman.
