DEATH OF JAMES WATT, ESQ..--Our obituary of this week records the death of James Watt, Esq., the last surviving son of the illustrious improver of the steam engine. He was born on the sth of February, 1769, and was, therefore,' in his 80th year. Inheriting a large share of the powerful intellect of his distinguished father, to the extension of whose fame he had for the last thirty years shown the most zealous and truly filial devotion, he united to great sagacity and a masculine understand ing the varied acquirements and literary tastes of a well cultivated mind. His name will long be remembered in association with that of the late Mr. Boniton, as .they were for nearly half a century successfully engaged in carrying out those inventions and improvements by which the genius of his father was immortalised. For the last eight years of his life he had comparatively retired from active business, and had devoted much time and atten tion to the improvement of his extensive estates in the counties of Radnor and Brecon, where his tenantry will have to lament the loss of a kind, energetic, and liberal landlord.—Birmingham Journal.

" Dear Mr. O'C onn ell,—Having come to tov n on m y way to Drogh e d a , I h ave read in the even i ng Ppers the terms proposed to-day in the Asscciation fe r the re union of Repealers: I hasten to express uY cordial concurrence in them. There occurs to me no alteration that I would wish to suggest, with the excep tion, per haps, of a m e r e verbal one in rule the ICtb, which might, it is likely, be better calculated to wire the co operation of the Catholic bi s h o p s a nd clergy;if worded as follows :—' 10th.

This change, however, I do not consider as wry impor tant, the same security being given as to principle by the 10th rule as it stands at present. " Having had frequent opportunities of knowing the views and wishes of ;he Archbishop of Team, and the Bishop of Ardagh, who are at presoak tsiaent in Rom e defending tht Irish Church as, abut _ tho paatiaseeeherous and dangerous assaults of her enemies, I feel confident that wore they in I re l an d they, too, would gladly hail this union of I r i s h men in a league to secure what can alone save our afflicted and misgoverned country. " I have the honour to remain, my dear Mr. O'Con nell, your ever faithful and devoted servant, " f JOHN CANTWELL. " To John O'Connell, Esq., M.P." The Freeman, referring to the foregoing, states that the Right Rev. Dr. Maginn has written in the strongest terms in favour of the proposed union. The Confederates have postponed their meeting till this day week in order that the country may be afforded time to give expression to its opinion on the subject. THE NAVIGATION-LAWS.—The Chamber of Com merce, Belfast, have met and declared that it is just and proper to apply to the shipping interest the free-trade principles adopted in other branches of business. The resolution was proposed by Mr. Grimshaw, and seconded by Mr. Heron, one of the must extensive shipowers in Belfast. This gentleman declared that in his opinion " every shred of monopoly should be abolished save what could be established by British energy, intelligence, and wealth." THE ARMY.—The Tipperary Vindicator complains of the misconduct of the 34th depot quartered in Nenagh. Intoxication, it appears, is among the most pardonable of their offences. AFFAIR or lioxourt.—Dr. Fulton and Mr. Robert Jennings were brought before the magistrates of College street Office upon a warrant which had been issued for their apprehension, grounded on the information to the effect that it was their intention to commit a breach of the peace by fighting a duel. The information was sworn in consequence of a fracas which took place be tween the parties in the Four Courts on the previous day, in which some severe blows were given. Mr. Jennings entered into his own recognizances to the amount of 2001. to keep the peace, and gave two sure ties besides, Mr. Thomas M. Dunlevie, of Rutland-square, and John Peebles, M.D., of Dorset-street. lie was then set at liberty. 1)r. Fulton at first declined to enter into bail, on the ground that he had been assailed first, and had only de tended himself. The matter was postponed for a time, and when Dr. Fulton was again brought forward, Mr. O'CALLAGHAN said he would commit him if he did not enter into bail. The prisoner applied to be sent down in custody to the Queen's Bench. Mr. O'CALLAGHAN said he would not do anything of the kir d. Dr. Fulton then said he had no alternative but to give bail. lie then entered into his own recognizances in the same amount as the other prisoner, and Mr. Perry, soli citor, and Mr. Dowling, merchant, became his sureties, after which he was liberated.

SCIENCES. SU ln LP n li o U c ß ou — n many benefit s con f erre d upon th e Eats and manu factures by the sc i ence o f c h em i s t r y ; and we intend i t country S more SOURCES than here to su b m i t for the consideration o f our readersa few of th e applications of sulphur an d i ts combina tions, as an example of what we have state d. Few i n A N E APPLICATIONS.GreatBritain are 80 persons, who have not given it their attention, would believ e h ow many benefits are conferred upon our trade and commerc e b y the manufacture of sulphur i c acid alone, which h as reached in this country to the highest state of perf ect i on. Sulphu r , commonly known by the name of brim stone, w as we l l known to the ancients, and it is termed by th e chemists an elementary non-metallic body—th a t i s, b y no process with which we are at present acquainted c an i t b e f urther resolved. It is found abun dantly in n a t ure i n i ts pure state, and also in various states of combination with the metals. The principal source of its derivation for commercial purposes is the volcanic dis tricts, and especially Solfatara, near Naples. The mines of Sicily have been worked for several centuries; but it is only since 1820 that any considerable quantity was pre pared for exportation. Subsequently to 1833, the trade with this country increased so much, that the export of sulphur to the United Kingdom rose from about 20,000 tons in that _year to 38,654 tons in 1838. In the autumn of that year the Neapolitan Govern ment established a monopoly in the trade, at the suggestion of a Frenchman named Tait, the imme diate consequence of which was to cause a rise in the price of sulphur from 61. or 71. a ton to double that amount. In 1839 the importation to this country fell from 44,000 tons to one half that quantity. To show what effect this injudicious move of the Sicilian government had upon science, we cannot do better than quote the following extract from an inte resting little work by the celebrated German chemist and philosopher, Justice Liebig, entitled " Familiar Letters on Chemistry." " Reflecting upon the important influence which the price of sulphur oxoruiaae tipon the cost of production of bleached and printed cotton stuffs, soap, glass, &c., and remembering that Great Britain supplies America, Spain, Portugal, and the east with these, exchanging them tor raw cotton, silk, wine, raisins, indigo, &c., we can under stand why the English Government should have resolved to resort to war with Naples, in order to abolish the sulphur monopoly, which the latter power attempted re cently to establish. Nothing could be more opposed to the true interests of Sicily than such a monopoly ; indeed, had it been maintained for a few years, it is highly probable that sulphur, the source of her wealth, would have been rendered perfectly valueless to her. Science and industry form a power to which it is dangerous to present impediments. It was not diffi cult to perceive that the issue would be the entire cessation of the exportation of sulphur from Sicily. In the short period that the sulphur monopoly lasted, fifteen patents were taken out for methods to obtain back the sulphuric acid used for making soda. Admitting that these fifteen processes were not per fectly successful, there can be no doubt that it would, ere lung, have been accomplished. But then in gypsum (sulphate of lime), and in heavy spar (sulphate of barytes), we possess mountains of sul phuric acid; in galena (sulphuret of lead), and in iron pyrites, we have no less abundance of sulphur. The problem is, how to separate the sulphuric acid or the sulphur from these native stores. Hundreds of thousands of pounds weight of sulphuric acid were prepared from iron pyrites while the high price of sulphur consequent upon the monopoly lasted. We should probably, ere long, have triumphed, over all difficulties and have separated it from gypsum. The impulse has been given, the possibility of the process proved, and it may happen in a few years that the in considerate financial speculation of Naples may deprive her that of that lucrative commerce." Through the intervention of the British Govern ment in 1840, the sulphur trade with Sicily was placed on the same fboting as previously to 1838, and in that state it still continues, though the quan tity now imported is very considerably reduced, in consequence of the extraction of it from some of the ores of iron and copper, termed pyrites. By far the most considerable applications are in the preparations of sulphuric acid, 'and of gunpowder, which is a mix ture of sulphur, nitre, and charcoal. An enormous quantity is also consumed in the preparation of matches, lucifers, and fireworks; it is employed in medicine extensively; in the preparation of vermilion, which is a combination of mercury and sulphur; to cement iron bars into stone; am( also for bleach ing and disinfecting. The last mentioned are how ever applications of sulphurous acid, one of the com binations of sulphur and oxygen, which we shall hereafter have to notice. It has been recently estimated that about 5,000,000,000 lucifer matches are annually consumed in Great Britain alone, and one maker con sumes I,OOOL worth of American pine in manufacturing them. The success that has attended the various manu factures of our country, almost entirely dependent on tho science of chemistry, should teach us how dill: gent search after new truths, however remote they may at first appear from any direct practical applica tion, may, in the course of time, lead to results of the greatest importanee, and that no well-ascertained fact in natural science is ever barren.— Trades' Weekly Messenger. A NOVEL CURE FoR A SNAKE BITE.—The Syd ney Morning Chronicle relates a successful, but some what novel mode of curing the bite of a snake, the par ticulars of which may be found useful. The wife of an Irishman, who was very partial to whisky, having been bit in the leg by a snake of a very venomous description, and no surgeon being at hand, the husband flew to his favourite for a remedy. Taking a bottle of whisky he applied it mouth down ward to the wound, and kept it fast in that position till the surgeon arrived, On being questioned by the latter as to the reason of this application, the man replied that, as whisky was good for everything, he thought it would be good for a snake bite. The bottle was removed, and it was found that the liquor had become darker, while there was a corresponding decrease in the discoloration surroun ing the wound. Seeing that the spirits had acted so well more was upplied in the same manner, until the liquor came from the a ound pure and untainted, by which means the patient was totally recovered. If a cure can really be effected in this way, it is probable that one kind of spiri tuous liquor will suffice as well as another for the pur pose, and the remedy is one which may in most instances be obtained when surgical aid is not procurable. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM OSTEND.--TUESDAY, NINE A.M., JUNE 13.—This town and neighbourhood was visited by one of the most terrific thunder storms that has ever been known to take place within 'the memory of the oldest inhabitant. The morning was unusually fine until one or two o'clock, P.M., when th e heat be. came close and oppressive; yet, notwithstanding, the sea wall or dike, an d outskirts of the town, , during the whole afternoo n , were covered with the holiday folks. Suddenly, about six o'clock, a few slight dark clouds began to overshadow the sky, parti cularly toward s t h e north. Of course, a -regular sauve qui p en t ensued, and the fashionablepro menades were soon cleared. This cloudiness of the air was accompanied by a warm and very gentle wind; after which not a breath of air stirred, as though the elements were taking a few minutes repose in order to be able to burst forth with greater violence; as, in a few minutes, flash after flash of the most vivid forked lightning shone forth in rapid succession, followed by loud peels of thunder. At this moment the view on the sea was awfully grand; the lightning was flitting about here and there, and might be compared in its movements to fiery snakes twist ing and writhing as it' they were in agony. In a few minutes a shower, not of hail-stones, but of pieces of ice, came down with the greatest violence, striking on the roofs of the low huuses, and rebounding with great force against the windows of their opposite neighbours; in fact, they fell with such power as to cut holes in the centre of the glass similar to a bullet. Several of these pieces of ice were picked up from the floor of the lower rooms, and on examining them they appeared to be all of the same form, being smooth and flat at the bottom (as if they had been rubbed against some hard substance in order to polish them), and round, not unlike a water caraffe, varying in weight from one to three ounces. I was shown ono specimen of a piece of ice, which was then as large as a small egg, although the indi vidual had brought it in his warm hand from the railway station, where he had picked it up, being a good five minutes' walk from the place where I was examining the ice ball. I fear to-morrow's post will bring with it sad tidings of the damage done in the country. About half-past eight the thunder, lightning, and rain recommenced, and continued with great vio lence, about twenty minutes after which the moon rose in all her majestic splendour, and at present the air is soft, the sky clear and starlight, and no one would ever suppose that such an awful storm had just been wit nessed, which was of thirty minutes' duration. THE NEw FORTIFICATIONS AT StIEERNESS.—These extensive works, together with the repair and heighten ing of the old fortificatious, are now complete, and the guns are all mounted, the last gun having been hoisted on to the carriage !ay. week. The entire line of fortifi cations is one mile and a quarter, and the number of guns 118, some of which are of a most extraordinary large size, weighing from 80 to 90 cwt. At several places along the line nearest to the sea the battery con sists of very thick brickwork, and thee() parts are called the musketry batteries, there being a great number of apertures through the brickwork, designed for the pointing of muskets. Tho whole line is surrounded by a deep moat, which is crossed at only one place, where the fortifications cross the high road, and here there is some outer work, consisting of a bastion and a raveline, and a second moat, and there are also two drawbridges and two pairs of strong gates. A concrete foundation had been laid down for the erection of new barracks, and piles are now being driven for the erection of several powder magazines.— Canterbury Journal. GERMAN HosFlTAL.—Yesterday, at noon, a fancy fair, for the benefit of the above named institution, was opened in the spacious grounds connected with the establishment in the Layton-road, Dalston. The fair will continue until Saturday evening. On Wed nesday their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited the Hospital, and made an ex ceedingly handsome present in aid of the funds of the charity. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER 7'O THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,500 bales. There were 1,000 bales taken for export. The market was heavy. In prices very little alteration oc curred. A good business was done in Railway Shares, at previous rates, but stock was scarcer. In the political accounts both from France and Ger many there is a comparative lull to-day; but the mer cantile letters received from Hamburgh hold out no hope of a speedy adjustment of the Danish question. As the; Swedes are preparing more vigorously to s( cond the Danes, and as the Assembly at Frankfort must come to the determination either to pro secute the war on a larger scale, or to abate at once some of its pretensions, it is not improbable that we shall hear ere long of something important. At Copenhagen the condemnation of the captured vessels proceeded without further delay. Some few cases of release are mentioned, and respect bad been paid to neutral property, but the blow is a severe one for German commerce, palliate it as we may. The New York liner Devonshire sailed to-day with 73 cabin and 150 steerage passengers ; she has also 350 tons of rails, and a larger quantity of other freight than usual. We hope, as there are doubts of our receiving many orders for the " fall " trade, that all parties may be agreeably disappointed, and that other vessels will take fuller cargoes than was anticipated. The Corn Market is rather firm to-day, except fcr lowering oats and barley. The Bulwer affair is still regarded with great interest and some misgiving in quarters connected with Spain. There is expected to be a change of Ministry at Madrid, and even then the arrangement of the misunderstand ing wit! have tcr be delicately conducted. y alone The course adopted by the Bank of England in Therestill,dis countmoneyabundanthaveEuropeshould would be no reason, however, I,toacnd the Three per the value of move thing " with the speculators. will "go for some- Quarter per Cents, have been 84 The New Three-and-a- Cents.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—DEPARTURE OF THE FRENCII.—The anti-monopolists as a morning contempo rary has facetiously termed the troop of French actors whose performance at " Old Drury" has given such offence to the English public, leave London next week, after giving two farewell performances for which they modestly charge only a guinea. The warm reception they► received, we should think, will effectually prevent any si milar attempt of the kind being made by French artistes. Patronage of foreign talent to a limited extent is very good, but when the bounds of moderation are passed, results like the present must be expected. FATAL AFFRAY NEAR GLOUCESTER.—An inquest was held yesterday at the New Inn, at Longford, near Gloucester, on the body of a Mr. Organ, a respectable inhabitant of that city, whose death was occasioned in the following manner:—Mr. Organ had been dining with a convivial party celebrating the anniversary of a society of which he was a member, at the New Inn. He left the house to go home, somewhat exhilarated by the good cheer of which he had partaken, when he was insulted by three fellows of disreputable character, one of them a returned transport, and a pugilistic contest was about to commence, when a fourth person named Rudge, a man of very indifferent character, came up and struck him a blow which felled him to the ground. He was carried into the New Inn, but it was discovered that life was nearly extinct, and he expired in half an hour. The men were taken into custody, but succeeded in getting away from the police. Rudge and another were subse quently re-captured, and are in custody. The inquest was postponed till Monday next, in order to afford time for a post mortem examination of the body of the de ceased. 31% 4% 14 ......... 10 i/j, 27% 6% 24% 5% HOYAL-EXCHANCTE ASSURANCE OFFICE.
