STANDARD NOVELS. No. LVIIL R. Bentley, London. 1833. bra t! o f We ar e not at all surprised that this Cabinet Li- Romance has driven every other out of the field ; for it is unquestionably the best we have, inclu ding the choicest fictions of the day, the majority of which hare received the last careful touches of their respective authors. Scarce a tale of any celebrity but is comprised in Mr. Bentley's collection, who has also had the foresight to set such a price on each volume— which contains, by the bye, the materials of three— as m ay enable even a poet to purchase it I Formerly, w e desired to procure those . master-pieces, the " Cal e b Williams " and " St. Leon " of Godwin—the " Pride an d P rejudice " —and " Emma " of Miss a nstin--th e " Frankenstein" of Mrs. Shelley--the Si mple Story" of Mrs. Inchbald—" The Last of t he Mohicans" of Cooper—the " Eugene Aram," and Clifford" i of Bulwer—or " Th e P arson ' s 'la Paul ughter" of Hook—we should have been u n d e r th e ne cessity of payin g a gu i nea an d a h a lf f or eac h ta l e ; t'A he re we can purchase each of them for six shil lings,p with the additional recommendation of handsome embellishments, and a distinct, attractive type. Had G ray, who was such an inveterate devourer of works of fiction, and who desired nothing better than to lie ° , ll a sof a eternally reading the best romances of the day, lived in these times, we can imagine the avidity .. '!ith whi c h he would have looked forward to the pub hcation of each successive volume of this Miscellany. As suredly the work would have occupied a conspicuous Station in his library ; for none was ever more keenly alive th an G ray to the value of a good novel, which, b Y ' sh ulving us man as he is, as well as he ought to be, not only delights, but instructs and elevates th e m i n d. The present Number of the Standard Novels consists e !' Captain Trelawney's " Adventures of a Younger " 3 °n," which, having truth for their ground-work, pos sess, in addition, all the stirring interest of the most romantic fiction. Since Anastasius," we have met wi th no work which gives us such glowing and faithful Pictures of the domestic habits of the Oriental nations, W hich is so fruitful in wild incident, so uniformly Vi gorous in style, and so relieved with touches of the true st and gentlest pathos. The author is not one wh o has de r i ve d his materialstfrom books, but from expe rience ; the stamp of reality is impressed on every 17ge ; hence we take the same breathless interest in Stange adventures, by sea and land, in the pirate's vessel, or i n t h e h eart o f some vast, seclu d ed forest, tha t We take in those of " Robinson Crusoe." We can fancy no more attractive leading for those long itter-nights which are new so c l ose uporvus , t h an the" Standard Novels ;" whose three next volumes, l e per ce i ve, will contain that delightful collection of legendary romances by Washington Irving, entitled e" Alhambra ;" the " Highland Smugglers," by A merican ; and th e " H e id enmauer, " b y Cooper, the 41r neriean novelist.

CANTERBURY ) OCT. I.—. The Duke de Nemours, accompanied by General Bugeaud, left Ramsgate this morning for Dover, at alittle after 7 o'clock. His Royal Highness set off withotteseeing either his sister or the King of the Belgians, who did not leave his chamber until 9 o'clock. M. de Bourquenay, First Secretary of the French Embassy, also left Ramsgate this morning. He pro ceeded to Margate, and there boarded a passing steamer, which was on its way to London. , His Belgian Majesty proposes to take his departure at 8 this -evening dirext for Claremont. The Queen is to .remain at Ramsgate for the present. The King, it is presumed, will be attended by M. Van Der Weyer.

WEYMOUTH, SEPT. 30.—The grand morning concert, given at . the Royal Hotel Assembly Rooms on Saturday last, by Mr. Mori, in which the following dis tinguished performers were engaged—Madame Stock hausen, Madlle. Bildstein, Monsieur Stockhausen, Mr. Rooke, and Mr. Lavenue, was attended by upwards of one hundred and fifty of the most distinguished of the haut ton here. It is superfluous to say the performance was such as to elicit the most unqualified applause, and went off with unwonted eclat. Latest Arrivals.—Earl Poulett, the Earl of Devon, the Hon. Mr. Courtenay, Sir H. Jenner, Sir• A. Cooper, Hon. Colonels Fulford and Di gette ; Captains Hertley, Porter, Pechell, and Crispin ; Rev. Messrs. M'Lunn, Montague, Smith, and Grey. PRIVY COUNCIL.—Mr. O'Loglilen, the Attorney- General, is to be sworn in to-morrow (yesterday) as a member of his Mt‘josty's Most Honourablo Privy Council. Dublin Past, A letter from Bilbea, of the 21st, confirms the pre vious accounts, that General Evans was fully determined not to Ward the British auxiliaries in desultory warfare, and would therefore make no movement of importance until the men were sufficiently trained for a combined operation in mass. He was particularly anxious to have at least six field guns in a state of perfect efficiency, as the best means of preventing the Carlists from deriving any advantage from their long rifles. The troops were rapidly improving in dis cipline, and it was calculated that in about two or three weeks more the whole would be fit for active service. The Hon. Mr. Pelham passed through Lincoln on Wednesday, on his way to his seat at Manby. A Temperance Society has just been established at Louth, which has received an abundance of supporters, who have signed a vow to refrain from ardent spirits. Some of the very best cattle intended for exhibition at the approaching Cattle Show, under the auspices of the Highland Society, have unexpectedly died while in course of training.--Ayr Observer. The General Steam Navigation ,Company's packet Ramona, from Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom-house, at three o'clock yesterday afternoon. The Tourist, from Antwerp,_ arrived about the same time. A letter from Talcahuana (Chili), dated the 20th May at 11 o'clock in the morning, contains the following : " An event, as unfortunate as extraordinary, has plunged us into consternation. A most fearful vibration of the earth has engulphed, under our eyes, almost the whole of the town and a part of the inhabitants. The sea in this ter rible moment rose 24 toises in height."

The better qualities of Cotton, being in demand, maintain their prices, whilst the lower descriptions, and Egyptians, are heavy of sale : 500 bags sold to-day for exportation. EAST INDIA Doclm—A half-yearly meeting of the Proprietors was held on Wednesday at the East India Dock-house, for the purpose of declaring a dividend. The Chairman reported to the meeting the satisfactory state of the establishment generally, and particularly as regarded its pecuniary concerns, arising from the considerable ac cession of business which had taken place during the last six months. It appeared by the statement produced to the meeting, that there existed a balance of 26,0001. in favour of the Company, out of which the Chairman recommended that a dividend of two per cent. should be paid to the Pro prietors, on the capital invested for the half-year then ex pired., He urged the meeting not to press for a larger dividend, although the balance in hand would show an ex cess on the amount produced to be so applied ; observing that he was the more inclined to recommend its being li mited to two per cent., from the circumstance of that hav ing been the customary amount ; besides which, he thought it would be decidedly preferable to leave the Court of Di rectors the option of recommending a dividend of three per cent. for the ensuing six months, if the income received during that period should warrant the completion of five per cent. on the year. This recommendation was adopted by the Proprietors. The state of their affairs gave great satis faction to those who were present, which was expressed by many in passing votes of thanks to the Chairman, and to the Court of Directors. STEAM TO INDIA.—Some material steps have been taken within these few days towards the accomplish ment of the great project of a steam communication with India, by way of Egypt, whicn was in great danger, through the backwardness of the East India Company, and the un supported arrangements of the Post-office, of falling wholly to the ground. Orders have been given by the former, it seems, far the construction of two large steam-boats to be employed on the side of India, and thoueh this left the con veyance through Egypt totally unprovided for, that diffi culty is now also on the point of being removed. Mr. Waghorn, so well-known in connexion with this subject, and employed for many years as the agent for the merchants in India in matters connected with the improvement of the communication, is about to form establishments at Alexan dria, Cairo, and Suez, for the purpose of forwarding goods, letters. and travellers by that route, and his arrangements will be in operation, it is expected, by the end of the present year. Persons intending to proceed from Great Britain to India by this route, will have the use of the Post-office packets to Alexannria, and travellers from the Continent will find similar faci lities from Marseilles, Toulon, and Leghorn, for Alex andria, at which place all the accommodation which that country affords will be provided for their immediate conveyance from thence to Suez, in siv days, at a charge of 60 dollars each, including the use of servants, tents, and all other necessaries. At Suez, proper residences and suita ble accommodation will be provided, until the steam-vessels arrive, and should the use of such vessels be rendered im practicable by the prevalence of the monsoons, country boats will, at that season, proceed to Mocha, from which place trading uessels, at that period, regularly carry on intercourse with Idia. When these arrangements are completed, it is expected that the journey willbe accomplished in 60 days for eight or nine mouths in the year, and in 85 day during the monsoons. When the meditated railroad across the desert is completed, some further time will be gained. That this undertaking is going on with some vigour is ;proved by the shipments of machinery and iron bars and rails, to be used upon it, now going on with great activity. When fi nished, this part of the journey, a distance of 80 miles, will be performed in seven or eight hours. Agencies are to be established in Bombay, Calcutta, and Madras, to rfford si milar facilities from India to Europe. If these plans are fully matured, of which there exists the best prospect, the public will owe the completion of the chain of 'communica tion with Indsa by this route to the perseverance and enter prise of a private individual,—Morning Pnper, 1 1.1 E STIN, LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1835. RAMSGATE =THURSDAY. oult O*N CORAESVONDENT.) The wind has bloVit very strong from S.S.W. during the last two days. Yesterday His Majesty's steam-packet, the Cru sader, from Calais, came into this pdrt, and landed hei passengers, and three carriages. This afternoon, at five o'clock, the French Mail Le Courrier, from Calais, also landed her carriages, and fifty passengers. On account of the bar being up at Dover, neither of these vessels were able to enter that Harbour. His Royal Highness the Duke of N . emottes : left Itamsgate earl/ this Milting ill ethiage, oti his way io Bri g hton.

The Revising Barristers closed their Court last evening, striking off the register 17 Tories and 18 Reformers, leav ing two undecided. Mr. Henry Thompson, 33, Primrose street, Bishopsgate-street, wag opposed by both parties, and struck off, making 36 altogether. This beink the first time any objections have been taken to county voters in the island, the Reformers were not up• to all the legal quibbles the Tories use in these Courts, and thereby lost ten good votes, through errors in their claims—for instance, several claimed a right to vote as 40s. free holders, their name, A. B. ; place of residence, Cowes ; -nature of qualification, freehold houses ; where situate, B. street. The Tories being supported by the rejected of the Isle of Wight—the sailors' friend f.—the farmers' friend! !—his tenants' friend 1 I l=the friend of Cowes and its rural walks ! ! ! . I —the friend of Church and King! !I! I —the friend of the independent electors II I !!!—and backed by the Carlton purse bring down a special pleader from town, who, used to election trickery, takes objection to the wording, and says the whole of these houses are not yours—only a half, a third, or a fifth—you should have claimed as a joint-tenant, or a tenant in common— no matter that they bring 2001. per annum. Voter— I only claim for 40s. I receive more than twenty times that sum every year, from them. The barrister first ridiculed the objection, and said the claimant had filled up the form as directed by the Act; but the special pleader persuaded him he was wrong, and the vote was struck off I ! A. trustee in possession, being in receipt of the rents and profits, above 40s. per annum being for his own use, stood no chance ; he was only a Joint trustee, there being two others. The trustees of the dissenting chapels, though in receipt of the pew-rents, and rent of buildings be longing to the chapel, over the application of which they exercisC a control, stood no chance hero—need we say they were Reformers ? The Tories have kept at least ten on their list, who have have not even a shadow of a right to be there. We hope things will be managed better next year, and that funds may be subscribed in time, and the best professional assistance obtained. Great praise is due to the gentlemen who volunteered their services in the Independent cause, particularly Mr. Kirk patrick ; but (if an election take place before another re gistry) dear-bought experience will tell us we must have the assistance of a veteran of the line to lead us—persons must not be allowed to have votes because we have not the means to serve them with notices of objections, or of proving the service. Mr. Moir claimed to vote for Kent House as a 501. renter ;it was objected that part was in the borough. The premises being extensive, the town-clerk of Newport went to examine them, when he found this imaginary borough line of his to run directly through a certain nameless small building at the extreme end. The Barrister asked if Mr. Warren contended that this building was to pull the whole premises into the borough ? He said he did ! ! The twisting and bending of this borough boundary would have a curious appearance on paper. Among the Arrivals and Departures this week are : The Marquis and Marchioness of Ely, for Brighton ; the Earl and Countess of Errol and family, from the Castle ; Thomas Duffield, Esq., M.P., and family, from Earl De Grey's house, for Abingdon ; Lord Southampton, on a visit to Mr. Sloan Stanle7 ; Lord Catnperdown and family for Bath ; d.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE. This national Theatre opened for the season last night with ilfacbetli. The lessee, in his public statement, says, that he has selected " the most eminent talvnt of the two Theatres, with the addition of many new members ; in order to afford as effective a representation as possibit of the prin cipal Standard Works of the British Stage ; ald he is at length enabled to announce the most powerful Company that expense or research could collect together, or that has appeared for many years in London." To the general truth of this declaration it is but fair•to offer our testimony. The "representation" last night was, as a whole, decidedly the most " effective" we have recently witnessed, and the Com , pany does doubtless include many distinguished names long known and highly appreciated. The proscenium has been remodelled, so as to make the foot lamps project upon the stage, towards the performers, in the segment of the circle —a new act drop, or crimson-coloured curtain, with seven Corinthian pillars, has been added—" to harmonize with the ornamental part of the audience," as the Bill has it. The effect is altogether bad, and in a certain shewiness out scarlets th'knost tawdrily attired part of any audience that we have ever seen. In other respects the house looks bet ter, and has a more cleanly air : the general embellishments and decorations have not been neglected. In the hall, Kean's statue in marble appears between Shakspeare's and Garrick's. We had written a rather elaborate critique on the even ing's performance, but our limits to-day compel us to super sede its appearance by a brief and more general expression of approval. _ IS the rising of the curtain the whole corps dramatique were seen and greeted with cheers long and loud. They sang according to custom " God save the King," and al though considerable dissent was signified against its repeti tion, the noise and clamour of a few prevailed over the bet ter taste of the more sober and rational part of the audience. After this silly work of supererogation, the performance began, Macready playinc , ilfacbeth, Warde Macduff, and Miss Ellen Tree Lady litacbeth. Often as we have witnessed with admiration this great histrionic master's delineation of character, on no occasion was our gratification greater than last evening. And although it were idle to seek for novelty in a part in which he may be said to have perfected himself, we thought we discerned once or twice new flashes of genius in addition to those masterly touches, such only as a conception of the highest order could throw into the character. We were rejoiced to see our old favorite had lost none of his pristine vigour, and that the revolution of two years over his head had effected no change ; but that his whole spirit, refreshed as it were by repose, rose superior in in simplicity, in truth, and in strength—in accuracy of per ception and greatness of poker, to any representation we have recently witnessed on the London boards. Warde played, as he always does, respectably. Less of vehemence, however, would exhibit a closer adherence to nature—loud ness of intonation is no proof of the strength of passion, nor will a stentorian voice stand instead of that energy of ex pression which proceeds from the breast of nature. Miss Ellen Tree's impersonation of Lady Macbeth will not, we regret to state, add to her well-merited reputation. Her failure certainly did not arise from any misconception of her character—deep study and great talent were conspicuous throughout the part she sustained—but in her physical, more than in her mental, constitution was felt an inherent want of that iron weight and prodigious power which we have been accustomed to look for is the Queen and murderer. There was, notwithstanding, much of what con stitutes first-rate talent in her acting ; and if we were to judge her first performance by her own standard, instead of erecting one formed on bye-gone models of perfection, we, no doubt, last night, should have gone along with the au dience in repeatedly testifying, instead of comparing, her with Mrs. Siddons and Miss O'Neill—the general ad miration. Upon the whole, the re-opening of the house may be considered an auspicious commencement of the season. We were sorry to see a resumption by the audience of the privilege of calling upon individual performers, formally to receive the uproarious shouts and bravos of their too de monstrative and indiscreet friends. This, and the distur bance occasioned by the same sort of people perpetually clapping and vociferating their admiration, are ancient pri vileges which would be much better honourci in the breach than by the observance. The Night Parole followed the Tragedy. Of all the wretched, bald, disjointed, pointless adaptations from the French, this to us appears the most miserable. The ma jority of the audience, however, bore with exemplary pa tience the platitudes and bad jokes with which the piece is or ; namented, and notwithstanding some occasional pretty loud expressions of disapprobation, it will perhaps live its little day. We observed the representative of fashion, Lord Stanhope, and his younger brother, in a side box, bestow much more encouragement than the piece deserved. Perhaps, how ever, from them and others, applause was elicited by the ,exertions of tho:attresses Atid - hctors; who did all that talent and spirit could effect—especially Harley—to save the Night Parole from the sentence of death, which its enor mities demand at the hands of critical justice.

Russia has gained another victory, without the shedding of one drop of blood ! The wary Metternich has been brought over to the views of Russia, and his scruples si lenced by the magnanimity of the Emperor Nicholas It will be shortly seen that the. expenditure of eight millions of dollars, to add every brilliancy of lustre to the meeting of the Northern Monarchs, was but a blind to cover a deep-laid plan, which it was requisite Austria should con sent to ; this is now done. All praise is due to Russian diplomacy, and the manner in which the Emperor's agents have conducted this business proves that skill andjudgment are at home in that cabinet. A treaty has been prepared— and already sanctioned by the Ministers of Austria, Russia, and Prussia—and at Tceplitt It will be ratified by the Mo narchs. Russia will then be prepared to speak in a different tone to England, and instead of evading a war will probably seek one ; by that time her fleet in the Black Sea will be ready for action. Her army will be encamped in Poland, down to the gates of Thorn, and in five minutes can be united with that of Prussia, menacing Louis Philippe, should he venture to stir ; but he has already given his tacit compliance to their plans, in the vain hope of being protected by them, should his own subjects revolt against him. Austria, or more properly speaking, Metternich, has etitnerited to this treaty, upon the SOLEMN assurances of the Emperor Ni cholas that he will never aggrandise his territories by Con quering Turkey, which the Emperor and his Ministers now openly avow no power could prevent, if he attempted it. Ausiria; pledges 'herself` never .to_recognise the queen of Spain, but to assist the endeavours of Don Carlos to regain the throne—not to interfere, directly or indirectly, with the affairs of Poland, should the Emperor think proper to alter its present government. Russia will support Austria in maintaining her ascendancy in Italy, and in case of a breaking out of war, Prussia will immediately occupy Saxony, Hanover, the small Principalities, and the Hanse Towns. This is some Ka of a trcaty whiA will lwatified 1, Very large sums or moneyhave been forwarded to Don Carlos, and the agents of iinssia and Prussia have con stantly conveyed to that Prince the sentiments of their masters, with the caution to risk no general engagement till they were prepared to defend his right mid title to the Crown. They have constantly threatened the King 9f the French with their high displeasure, should ho grant any assistance to the Queen, and in this they have too fortu nately succeeded. England will now have to bear the weight of this Alliance ; and unless Lord Palmerston acts very differently to what he has hitherto, the balance of power in Europe will be lost by the stroke of a pen I Napoleon's system against England will be followed up, but more sagaciously, and with the greatest caution. Prus sia and Russia have for years past been acting upon his prin ciples, while England remained a silent spectator ; and it is now more than probable that they will reap the triumph of victory without the loss of a man. KALISCII, SEPT. 6.—The Russian troops are in a dread ful state for want of provisions. The scarcity of water is dreadful. Flour and a little water, with potatoe herbs, are now their only subsistence Three Russian contractors have been sent to Siberia for defraudation, and two Russian officers of high rank are undergoing a severe examination for not looking better into these things. The soldiers de sert by hundreds to' look after provision, but are generally escorted back by the Prussians, and then receive a most dreadful flogging. Any stranger passing the Emperor's house thre e ti mes i s sure to b arrested, and nothing can exceed the severe examination of every individual, whose curiosity has led him here—unless he has received an invita tion. Many with whom I have spoken wish they were safely out of the claws of these barbarians. All eyes are now fixed upon Tceplitz, where the second drama is to be acted—though the best informed assert all has been already agreed upon, and only W4l t 9 the ratification of the three monarchs.—Morning Paper.

We can add but little to our report of last month, and that little tends to corroborate the opinions we therein ex pressed. The harvest, in fact, was nearly brought to a' close in the corn districts of England by the end of Au gust, and under the most satisfactory auspices. We have subsequently collected evidences from near and remote quarters, all of which tend to confirm our report concern ing the excellent quality and great abundance of the crops. Still we see accounts of smut, of deficient samples, and so forth ; and numbers will be found to attach faith to them. Facts and experience must decide between contradictory opinions, but we believe that by them we shall ultimately be borne out in the assertion that bread of the finest qua lity will be prepared from the wheat of the present year, cheap to the purchaser, profitable to the baker, in conse quence of the absorbent nature of the flour produced from wheat of the finest quality, harvested in the very best manner. There can be no doubt respecting malt, for barley was bright beyond precedent. Oats, perhaps, on dry and shallow soils, may be somewhat lighter than usual, but the quality will be found good. In Scotland, as with us, the east has suffered more than the west of the kingdom ; in the former, the hay was a light crop, but good ; in the latter, the crop was a heavy one. Pastures have not been " so bare at this time of year since 1826. Rain may recover them a little before the end of autumn." _ _ It has recovered them in many parts of England, and the pastures, within the few past days, have resumed their ver dant livery, so that green food will again be abundant. Hops, and with these we conclude our notice, are, by consentient evidence, prime and abundant ; as a proof, among many, we may adduce the fact, that a gentleman who had just visited Farnham, informs us of a circumstance which, while it may excite some surprise, will lead to an idea of the immense quantity of hops produced in that far famed district. A grower upon whom he called, had just settled with his hop-picker s for their labour in his own yards. The sum paid picking aLone, on that one property, was 3,0001. We have only to add, that the rains kod they still con tinue) have brought the parched and hard-bound land into the finest condition, and ploughing proceeds with rapidity. D'ENTRECASTEAUX CHANNEL. The following were yesterday posted at Lloyd's :- 4 , Downing-street Sept. 30, 1835. " Sir—l am desired by Lord alenelg to transmit to yoti, for the information of the Committee at Lloyd's, the accom panying extract of a despatch which has been received from the Lieutenant-Governor of Van Diemen's Land, from the Captain of the Port at Hobart Town, containing various ob servations with regard to the navigation of that part of D'En trecasteaux's Channel, where the convict ship George 111. was lately wrecked. (Signed) "JAMES STEPHENS. " To the Chairman of the Committee for managing the Affairs of Lloyd's." Extract of a despatch from the Lieutenant-Governor of Van Diemen's Land, to the Secretary of State, dated April 25, 1835 " I have the honour to enclose a very Important communi cation received from the Port Officer, and to submit that his recommendation should be communicated to Lloyd's:— " ' Sir—ln dwelling upon the circumstances of the disas trous wreck of the transport George 111., I bait been led naturally to inquire how far the dangers actually known to exist between the Actaeon Islands and the main have been laid down: in doing so it appears to me that every danger at pre sent known is laid down with tolerable precision in the Aus tralian Directory, compiled from documents in the Hydrogra phical Office, and printed for the Hydrographical Office, Ad miralty, 1830, a work of the publication of which the Master of that vessel was not aware. The rock on which this vessel has been wrecked is described in a note quoted from the Syd ney Gazette, February 27, 1824, page 212 of that work. Un willing to make any observations that may seem to condemn a passage which offers Bawl advantages, and which, I have no hesitation in saying, I would, under all circumstances, gene rally select, I still consider it my duty to express the opinion that a communication be made to Lloy d 's, recommending that vessels avoid this passage until a proper sur.'nv be made of all the dangers surrounding the Actaeon Islands, and between them and the Western shore ; and advising in all b,:ses when intending to run through D'Entrecasteaux Channel, I::'at a vessel should stand to the Eastward from Whale Head, E.N.E., with an offing of two miles. The Actaeon Island should be well opened to the Eastward of Sterile Island be fore hauling up for the Channel. (Signed) "' W. MORIARTY, Port Officer. " To John Montague, Esq., Colonial Secretary:' MANUFACTURE OF GUNPOWDER. The following description of the nature and manufacture of Gunpowder, by an able chemist, (Dr. Urc), will proVe inter ing :— : This explosive substance consists of an inti mate mixture, in determinate proportions, of saltpetre, char coal,,; and sulphur ; 2d is better in proportion, every thin.. else being equal, to the quitY of these ingredients. The nitre, in particular, ought to he p ,,fectly refined by succes sive crystallizations, and finally fr ee d trim adhering water, by proper drying, or by fusion in iron pots d: a regulated beat. Nothing can surpass in these respects, the rui:e pre pared in the Government powder mills at Waltham Abhb;'• It is tested by adding to its solution in distilled water , nitrate of silver, with which it occasions no perceptible opalescence. The sulphur ought also to be of the finest quality, and pu rified by skimming or even sublimation, if at all necessary. The charcoal should be newly made ; it should burn without having any sensible residium, be dry, sonorous, light, and easily pulverized. The charcoal for gunpowder is made either of alder, willow, or dog-wood, the latter being pre ferred—which are cut into lengths and ignited by iron cylinders. It deserves notice that the proportion of powder used for the several pieces of ordnance by the Navy &c., has been reduited to one-third, in consequence of 1 the increased strength of the composition into which this cylinder charcoal enters, compared with that manufactured formerly from charcoal made in pits. The wood before charring is carefully stripped of its bark. The three in gredients, being thus prepared, are ready for manufacturing into gunpowder. They are first separately ground to a fine powder, which is passed through paper scives, or bolt ing machines ; Qnd, secondly, they arc mixed together in proper proportions. These do not seem to be definitely determined, for they differ in different establishments of great respectability, as is shewn by the following table : Nitre. Charcoal. Sulphur. Royal Mills at Waltham Abbey 75 15 10 French, for war --, for Sportsmen --, for mining ... . 65 15 20 Chaptal's proportions Chinese ditto Mr. Napier's ditto Thirdly : the composition is then sent to the gunpowder mill, which consists of two edgestones ofa calcareous nature, turning by means of a shaft on a bedstone of the same nature which give no sparks, as sandstone would be apt to do. '`i this bedstone the composition is spread, and moistened 1 ‘. 3 , *mall a quantity of water as will , in conj unction with the revni v * init 1 w k th W.. :ones bring it into a proper body of cake, but not of paste. The line of contact of the edgestoue is constantly preceded by a scraper, which goes round with the wheel, constantly scraping up the cake, and turning into the track o`' the stone. From 50 to 60 pounds arc usually worked alt once in each mill wheel. When the cake has been thoroughly incorporated, it is sent t o the corning -house, where a separate mill is employed to form the cake into grains or corns. Fourthly : here it is first pressed into a hard firm mass, then broken into small lumps ; after which the graining is executed by placing these lumps in sieves, on each side of which is laid a disc of lignum v!tw. The sieves are made of parchment skins, perforated with a multitude of round boles. Several such sieves are fixed in a frame, which, by proper machinery, has such a motion given to it, as to make the lignum vitae runner in each sieve move round with considerable velocity, so as to break the lumps of the cake, an I force the substance through the sieves, forming grains of several sizes. The granular particles are after wards separated from the finer dust, by proper sieves and reel. Fifthly : the corned powder is next hardened, and the rougher edges taken off, by being revolved in a close reel or cask, turning rapidly on its axis. This vessel some ,,,-,!tat resembles a barrel churn ;it should be only half full at eat;2. l operation, and has frequently square bars inside, parallel to . ; .ts axis, to aid the polish by attrition . Sixthl y ; the gunpowder is now dried, which is done generally by a steam heat, or by i:ansmitting a body of air, lightly heated in another chamber, over canvas shelves covered with the damp gunpowder.—Mining Journal. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held for the de;patch of a great deal of public business. It was specially called to decide relative to the fines for freedoms. As soon as the minutes of the preceding Court were confirmed, Mr. HEPPELL rose, and, after passing a eulooium upon Mr. Salomons, the newly-elected Sheriff, moved ' that that gentleman should be permitted to take his seat on the Al - ( Lrrnan's bench, a privilege which was already enjoyed by his coi!eague as a member of that body. The - motion was seconded by Mr. DRINKALD, and unan!- mously adopted. The mover and seconder having retired, shortly after wards returned, introducing Mr. Salomons, who was received by the whole Co in standing, and the Sheriff took his seat upon the bench amiLIA general cheering. ABOLITION OP THE LIVERY COMPANIES. Mr. CHARLES PEARSON said that the Court were that day assembled to effect one of the most important practical reforms in the corporate institut:sms that had ever been a ttempted. The Municipal Corporatio: l Reform Bill, which had just passed both Houses of Parliwent, abolished in every borough and city in England, except London, all those local customs which fettered the free exercise of trade within their respective limits, and the Corporation, in re ducing the premium upon freedom to one quarter' of the suet to which they were entitled by law, were preparing the 'way for the ultimate extinction of those odious and impo distinctions.--(Hear, hear.) The motion he should introduce to the Court would facilitate to a still greater extent the .idmission of industrious individuals to the full enjoyment of the corporate function. At present persons desirous of carrying on trade within the city could in no other manner qualify themselves than by taking up their freedom and livery in one of the city companies, a pro ceeding which entailed upon each an expense varying from 6/. to 1001. He bad long been convinced that this practice was as unnecessary as it was impolitic, and he was happy to say that the law officers of the orpo ration had, at length, adopted his views of this question. Having reduced the Corporation fine for freedoms, and abolished the payment to the livery companies, a new stimulus would be given to trade within the City, and num berless persons would be found to take up the freedom who would never do so if it were to remain encumbered with the pecuniary exactions and troublesome ceremonies which had hitherto prevented industrious persons from attempting to carry on business within the City. Mr Pearson then moved the resolution. Upon the motion of Mr. C. PEARSON, the Town Clerk was ordered to lay before the Court at their next meeting all the by-laws of the Corporation which imposed any re straint upon free trade within the City : and leave was given to Mr. Pearson to bring in a Bill to repeal or amend the same. DECLARATION RELATIVE TO THE CHURCH. Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR' then brought forward a motion, of which he had given notice many months ago, to petition Parliament for the abolition of the declaration relative to the Church, required to be made and subscribed by corpo rate officers in the 9th of George IV. On the ground that it was odious and nugatory, Mr. Taylor moved that a peti tion be presented for its repeal. Mr. FLETCHER, as a member of the Church of England, cordially seconded the motion, which was then carried. After the transacting of some other business, the Court broke up at a late hour.
