The statistics of the man u f ac t ure o? clans aL watches are made by Mr. Wood to yield some very noteworthy particulars. His account of the succes sive steps towards the determination of the longitude and the gradual perfection of the chronometer is clear and accurate, though of necessity brief and in a popular form. We have here, in particular, a chapter in the history of scientific inven!ion - which must. always retain an intere4 for British readers, From the first offer I , y Philip Hr. in 1598 of oa f; hundred thousand crowns for the discovery, throu,..;ll the tentative efforts of Hooke :LA Holmes, Hrtrri son and kiraliam, to the ultimate precision -which the problem has attained in the hands of Arnold, E. , rtishaw, Froisham, ainl later scientific artis',s, there is scarcely a name, if we exc•-pt Ituyghens, upon th,t roll of honour to take aught from the exclusive tired of merit which attaches to British enterprise and skill. Here, to:), while dispensing honour where honour is due, Mr. Wood seems to us no less careful of the claims of historical justice. 4d.. STAMPED sd.

In the air clock the hours were measured by the descent of a weight expelling the air through an orifice in a tube, giving motion to wheel-work. In 1669 the Grand Duke Cosmo was astonished to see, at the Royal Society's rooms in London, a clock the movements of which were derived from the vicinity of a loadstone. This was the earliest precursor of the modern electrical clock. tt seems impossible to fix the date when clocks with wheels and weights were first invented. Boethius is said to have made one in the year 510 A.D. - Pope Paul I. is reported to have sent a wheel-clock to King Pepin in 756, We are told that the Arabians first made clocks to strike in 801. Rabanus Maurus is said tohave sent a clock with a bell to a friend about the year 810. The honour of iaventinga wheel-clock is Riso given to PacificuS, Archdeacon of Vienna, who died in the middle of the ninth cen tury. Gerbert of Fleury, afterwards Pope Sylves ter 11., has credit for a similar invention about the . year 1,000. It is not clear whether the allusion of Dante is to a mechanical clock or to a sun-dial, or whether the orologium insigne, given to Sherborne Abbey by William the Sacrist, in the 12th century, was of either nature. St. Paul's Cathedral, as evidenced by the conzpotusbracerii for A.D. 1286, and its orolo giarius or clock-keeper, and an agreement for alter ing and completing the wheel-work of the cloak is extant in Dorman French, dated Nov. 22, 1344, be tween the bean and Chapter and Walter the " Or goner" of Southwark. The great Clock-house at Westminster was set up by Edward I. in 1288-9, out of a fine of seven thousand marks for corruption and malpractice levied upon Sir Ralph de Hengham, Chief Justice of the King's Bench. Another clock tower was erected there by Edward 111. in 1365-6. As ,we get upon more historical ground, Mr. Wood's notices multiply with a profusion and a minuteness which defy selection. There is hardly a timepiece of any note, either for mechanical ingenuity or artistic excellence, that he has failed to enumerate and to describe. The great clock at Strasburg, a woodcut of which forms the frontispiece, with its imitation at Ratisbon, the experiments of Charles V., the marvels of Italian, French, and Dutch taste, those of Nuremberg, Venice, and Prague, the dis covery of the pendulum; the attempts at perpetual motion, the idea of a longitude-clock, notices of the most famous makers, the symbolical functions held by the clock in the imagery of poets, divines,. and moralists—these are but a few samples taken at ran dom from the mass of curious lore which the writer has to offer for the entertainment of his readers. Then comes the history of watches, or portable time pieces. The origin of the watch, though not readily to be assigned to any particular date, is certainly not of the same antiquity as that of the fixed or sta tionary clock. The first step towards it was obvi ously the invention of a coiled spring, as the mo tive power, instead of a weight and pendulum. And this appears to have been made during the last quar ter of the 15th century. Nitremberg has generally had the credit of the earliest " pocket clocks"— Nuremberg eggs, as they were called from their oval shape. The same honour has been claimed by Blois, upon less pla'ssible grounds. Even China is sail to have introduced the invention into Germany, whence it passed into France, and so into England. Peter of Nuremberg, who died in 1510, as early as 1490 made small watches of steel, which pointed out and struck the bourn, and might be worn on the person. By the year 1500 the manu facture was so far improved as to describe seconds of time, at which period such watches were used for astronomical purposes by I George Purbach, a ma thematician of Vienna. n 1544 the guild of Mas ter Clockmakers in Paris secured from Francis I. the exclusive privilege of making clocks and watches, both large and small. Our own Clockmakers' Company was incorporated by charter of Charles I. 1631. HEAL LH OF LONDON. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) In the - week that ended on Saturday March 9 the births registered in London and 12 other large towns of the United Kingdom were 4,420 ; the deaths re gistered 3,156. The annual rate of mortality was 27 per 1,000 persons living. _ . _ In London thebirthsof 1,109 boys and 1,044 girls, in all 2,153 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of 10 years 1857-66 the average number, corrected for increase of popula tion, is 2,166. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,425. It was the 10th week of the year ; and the average number of deaths for the week is, with, a correction for increase of population, 1,580. The deaths in the present return are less by 155 than the estimated number. The deaths registered during the week from. zymotic diseases were 275, the corrected average number being 326. Forty-three deaths occurred from typhus ; 2in Chelsea, 2 in Hackney, 3 in St. Luke, 4 in Bethnal-green, 3 in Stepney, 3 i n Poplar, 4 in Lambeth, and 22 in the other districts. Deaths in the London Fever Hospital are referred to the districts from which the patients had been brought. Sixteen deaths from measles were regis tered, 7 of which occurred in the Lambeth Work house for children at Norwood. Thirty-two deaths from small-pox, 27 from scarlatina, and 13 from diarrhoea were recorded. Dr. Frankland has analysed specimens of the water of each London compaLy during the month of February. In 100,000 parts he found in the various waters foreign substances, ranging from 2 9 to 40 parts of solid matter, while the hardness ranged from 16 in the Lambeth to 23 in the Kent waters. Dr. Frankland has also determined the amount of organic carbon, and of combined nitrogen in the respective waters, and has estimated the se veral amounts or its equivalents from which the changed organic matters were taken originally. In reference to the question reported in the news papers, whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to introduce any measure tending to obviate the loss consequent on the theory of infec tion, the Secretary of State, Mr. Walpole, answered in the negative. Should any such measure ever be introduced, it must be extended as to obviate such losses both of life and property as have been sus tained by the people of East London. The principle of compensation applied to the accidents of railway companies may probably admit of useful extension to fatal accidents of another kind. The annual rate of mortality last week was 24 per 1,000 in London, 27 in Edinburgh, 31 in Dublin, 21 in Bristol, 23 in Birmingham, 33 in Liver pool, 30 in Manchester, 31 in Salford, 29 in Shef field, 29 in Leeds, 18 in Hull, 3r) in Newcastle-upon- Tyne, and 32 in Glasgow. The rate iu Vienna was 30 per 1,000 during the week ending the 2d inst., when the mean temperature was 2.5 deg. Fahrenheit lower than in the same week in London, where the rate was 22. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.774 in. The barometrical reading decreased from 30.59 in. at the beginning of week to 29.20 in. by the end of the week. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 35.3 deg., which is 4 9 deg. below the average of the same week in 50 years (as deter mined by Mr. Gliisher). . The highest day tem perature was 48.7 deg. on Tuesday. The lowest ttigbt temperature was 27.6 deg. on Sunday. The entire range of temperature in the week was, there fore, 21.1 deg. The mean of the highest tempera tures of the water of the Thames was 40.6 deg. ; that of the lowest was 38.0 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 4.4 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 84, complete saturation be ing represented by 100. Rain fell to the amount of 0.52 in., of which 0.34 in. fell on Saturday. Ac cording to a return furnished by the engineer of the Metropolitan Board of Works, the average daily quantity of sewage pumped into the river ThameS at the southern outfall works, Crossness, was 46,386,468 gallons, or 210,755 cubic metres, equi valent to about as many tons by weight. The performance of these early specimens of the watchmaker's art was, we may suppose, very im perfect. About the year 1650 metallic chains were commonly substituted for the catgut cord previothily in 'general use. • A great improvement was intro duced in the year 1658 by the invention of the spiral or pendulum spring applied to the arbor of the balance: The first idea of this spring is attributed to the ingeriius mathematician, Dr. Hooke. It was thoroughly carried out in 1665, under his directions, by the celebrated watchmaker, Thomas Tompion. A watch of that kind made for Charles 11. bears that date, together with the names of both inventor and constructor. A rival claim to the invention was indeed set up by Huyghens, and also by a French man, Jean Hauteville, who was born at Orleans in 1647, and died in 1724. But the priority seems fairly to rest with our own country, as does also the addition of the minute hand ; for, until nearly the clas_e of the seventeenth . century, watcheS had only one hand—namely, that which pointed to the hours. This improvement is said to have been made by Daniel Quare, a Quaker, and a famous clock maker of that period. Many old watches were then altered to receive the spiral springs, with the addi tional hand, and other improvements. The first repeater was made by Quare in 1676. In 1680 Clement, a Londoner, invented the anchor-escape ment, and in 1695 Tompion gave the idea of the cylinder escapement, which plan was not, however, brought into use till the following century. To Brequet is due the. touch, watch, or montre de touche, for night use or for the blind. To Nicolas Faccio, of Duiller, who was born at Geneva or Basle, Feb ruary 16, 1664, belongs the merit of having first applied the art of piercing rubies' to receive the pivots of the balance-wheel abo ut the year 1700. Faccio was a clever inventor a nd a g ood scholar, who got himself into the pillo r y by dtbbling in the quackeries and sham prophecies set on foot by a tied iu 1724 by Tompion's escapement was uaven m we are also indebted apprentice, Graham, to who for the mercurial compensation pendulu and m the the most valuable im provements ever made in clocks. The lever is only ' t I f t to he a Harri son gave to English watches a pre-eminence over those of every other country, and led to many spurious iiniti,tions abroad. One of the most singu lar freaks of the art was the lilliputian repeater, no bigger than a silver twopenny piece, set in a ring, application watch. rioi The inventions Graham's presented to George 111. in 1761 by the celebrated Arnold, of Devereux-court, Strand. A curious watch was made for Louis XV. by Coupson, junior, of Paris, in 1764, in which a simple spring was substituted for the barrel, the mainspring, the chain, and the fusee. It required no winding, but was set in motion for 24 hours by the simple push of a knob, like the striking spring of a repeater. About that period the foppery of wearing two watches came into vogue, and was speedily followed by the ladies. To avoid expense, however, a dummy, or fausse montre, of some showy material often took the place of a real one. • In Paris all-sorts of whim sical toys were turned out by Julien le Roy, eutitkd e'trennes ehronometriques ;, and he was even outdone in, this line by J. B. Baillon, horologier de la reine, who, by lalling in - with the - luxurious andWasteftil fashions of the Court, died the ri'ellest' \VW chmaket in Europe.

SPIILIT OE THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. - 40- -- TlmES.—Magistrates exist, or ought to exist, as a terror to evildoers, and the loyal classes of the Irish people are not without excuse if they complain that the law in their country is too weak to fulfil its pro per mission. It seems tolerably certain that the customary penalties of disloyalty in Ireland de not restrain men from being disloyal, and the first im pulse is, of course, to increase the severity of their paid - shun:et, and at the same time to make it more swift in its infliction. Much may, at all events, be forgiven to the loyal people of Irela id if they clamour for arbitrary dealing with the disturbers of their peace. We in England have some difficulty in rea lising their position. None of us live in a " pro claimed" county. No Londoner goes to bed uncer tain whether he may not be rowed in the middle of the night by a deemed for arms and ammunition. The extent of his anticipations is a startling para graph to be read at breakfast time, and he does not suffer that to disturb the comfort of his morning meal. When we advise our fellow-subjects across the Irish Channel to be calm and t) rely upon the securities for safety' they possess, we are very wise, but we are also somewhat like the well-known ab sentee who sent the comforting message to his steward —" Tell the tenants that no threats to shoot you will terrify me." If we have underrated the apprehension among sonic of the influential classes in Ireland, we have consequently failed to estimate the pressure which has been put upon the Irish Go vernment. The Lord-Lieutenant and his advisers deserve, in fact, much credit for their steady resist ance to - the demands that have been made upon them. No course was too truculent for some of their amateur advisers, andase can well understaect the mischief which must have ensued had any countenance been given to their suggestions. The Irish Government have used the power the law gives them, and it has been proved sufficient to re press disorder, but they have not been tempted to overstep the constitutional limits of their functions. Happily for us, indeed, the law under which we live gives the Executive no such powers as the Irish Go vernment has been adjured to exercise. The Lord Lieutenant, even if he desired it, could no more carry fire and slaughter into Munster than into Middlesex. ' He cannot even restrain the personal liberty of _a single Irishman, except under the pro visions of an extraordinary and temporary act of Parliament. He could, no doubt, as a matter of fact, proolaitn , martial law, or, in other words, de clare the lives and property of all Irishmen to be at the discretion of himself and hie subordinates, but the proclamation would be the ground for instant impeachment, and either principal or subordinate would be responsible before ~ he ordinary tribunals of the country for any act done under it. It is strange any one should be called upon to enunciate now these elemeetery truths, which, were inscribed in our statute book and sanctioned by the blood of a civil war two centuries ago. It is stranger that Enghshnien, not, Irishmen alone, should hold those essential articles of our peace of such little account, as if they Might be disregarded as obsolete. The fact, however, is that the Irish Government has not desired, and we are glad to know does not desire, to possess the arbitrary powers for which a few excited loyalists clamour. It is equally certain the Impe rial Parliament would, not concede any such privi leges. If it were disposed to do so, a case would be made out for reform such as no one has yet ventured to suggest. Parliament has, on the representations of the Ministers of the Crown—representations which have, unfortunately,. been too fully verified by subsequent events—placed for a season the per sonal liberty of every Irishman under the abso lute controi of the Irish Executive ; but further than this there is no necessity, and there would be no justification for going.. If, however, the Go vernment has been called upon to exercise powers it does not possess, it is not for want of weapons which the law has already placed iu the hands of the loyal. A Memorandum has been seasonably issued from the Castle instructing magistrates on the powers and duties devolving upon them at a crisis like the present. It beeins with a statement of the conditions under which special. constables may be sworn in, which ought to quiet the alarms Of some o` those who are flocking from their houses in the country to towns, and the neighbourhool of constabulary barracks. The-conditions were discussed so recently, on the occesioa of the march to the drill ground at Brompton, that they are well known here, hut it is *ell that Irish gentlemen should be reminded that they may defend themselves. When ever credible persons &pose to reasonable apprehen sion of riot, tumult, or insurrection, and the justices are of opinion that the police, military, and other reoular forces of the country are not sufficient for the present protection of persons and property, special constables may be enrolled. The power and duty of swearing in constables 'at any crisis are the same throughout the kingdom, but there are special provisions for : maintai n i ng the: peace of Ireland, which have been published by the Lord Lieutenant in the Memorandum to which we have referred. No one can complain that they are too restricted, and, indeed, it may be questioned whether they are not too wide. All persons armed with any weapon, or appearing in any disguise, or wearing any uni form. or badge, or assuini ng a n y name or denomi nation not usually assumed by ordinary persons in their lawful occasions, who shall assemble or who shall appear, alone or with others, by day or night, are guilty of a high misdemeanour, sub jecting them to penal servitude, imprisonment, and whipping. Any two magistrates having reason able cause to suspect any person to be guilty of thus assembling or appearing, or of having been at such assembly, or of intending so to be, are required to surniumon them, and bind him over to appear at the Assizes, and, in case of refusal, to commit him to gaol ; and every magistrate has authority to sum mon his jurisdiction whom he may think im any ,under person capable rs o n n ft en same giving s penalty, to answer an material evidence, and ex aminationcom- pel on oath. These powers are almost wide enough to repress the conception of treason, but the Whiteboy Acts stricke at much more than mere assembling or appearing,.or the intention so to do. The deeds we have heard of—such as attacking houses and carrying off horses, or weapons, or other property; the writing or giving any notice, letter, or message exciting a riot, or threatening violence, or demanding arms or ammunition, or requiring a employment; promoting meetiuge or ny tn signals —are all high misdemean bopoyerrssno,bisLttiesboi g fieo n rt i e t ts a o, the same punishments of penal ser vitude and the rest ; and all magistrates and con- stables are bound to apprehend, disperse, and oppose persons so esgaged, and may call on any one to assist them, and are fully indemnified for happening to kill, maim, or hurt any person in discharging such a duty. A mere statement of these means ot enforcing order is sufficient ; they are so stringent as to call for the greatest circumspection in their exe rcise ; and they take away all excuse for de manding further powers, if they do not suggest that a revision of the laws in force in Ireland for the maintenance of the peace should be one of the first things undertaken after the establishment of order. We may reasonably hope that the Fenian out itself. Day after day rumours, which prove b b r r e in a g k s will us soon nothing un substantial when examined ; and the ordinary powers of the Irish Executive, supplemented by the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, have been sufficient to maintain the peace. If there were any reason—and there is none—to sup pose that these will prove insufficient, the pro visions of the white b y Act take awa y an y necessit y for giving arbitrary p rivile g es to th e G overnment. We wish we could stop there. Unfortunately, history warns us too clearly against the craving for unlimited power iu the Executive Government, be cause it shows that it is impossible to prevent its abuse in the hands of subordinate offiCers. The rising of 1798 was a real rebe l l ion , comp ared to which the demonstrations of our time are but child's play, and so far there was some excuse for excesses then ; but whoever will even now refer to the action against Sir Judkin : Fitzgerald in the State Trials, and the debates which followed it in the Irish Par liament, must feel ashamed of what was and might again be done in the name of law. Nothing but imperative necessity should make us willing to. un dergo the risk of a repetition of such deeds, and where the necessity is absolutely wanting we cannot go a step beyond the safeguards which have been proved amply sufficient. THE WESTMINSTER GAZETTE ON " REFORM AND THE WORKING CLASSES."—The late divisions in the Cabinet of Lord Derby are striking indications as to the great diversity which still exists in the edu cated mind of the country as to Reform. Reform is no longer a question of parties, but a question as to the future relations between the different classes of society in England. This question, as to the relation between class an d class, goes very deep and effects such momentous interests. that we are not at all surprised at the hesitation which men feel in dealing with: what is more a social, perhaps, than a. political difficolty.. . Whether the character:of .the English Government should be- .(' on inmuorsbe n d ui e d mo b c e ra w ti i c d , e o u r e . d le , s a s t ; i s b vis e et b h a e s r e whether the Conservative o r the Waal. e s t o rt thoernar rowed; party should gain in strength, is, after all, not so grave a question as what is the conduct and the capacity of that class to which a larger share of . the governing power is to be transferred, or what would be the effect on the working classes of a re fusal of such a participation in political power. Almost all men are agreed that a refusal would not only be most dangerous as affording popular demagogues an opportunity of preaching up a war betwe m the classes, but also unjust, inasmuch as the interests of the working classes are not repre sented with sufficient directness, nor is their desire to take part in political life sufficiently recognised. It is the duty of the statesman—one which re quires, however, consummate skill and knowledge of the principles of our Constitution—so to adjust the new element with the old, that one class shall not overbalance the other, nor alter the essential character of the House of Commons, as presenting as perfect and complete a reflex as possible of the opinions, principles, and interests of the country at large. But we can easily conceive that men should hesitate for the sake of a theoretical perfec tion in the Constitution to admit to political power and to the future government of the country classes whose tendencies and principles they might not unjustly deem as likely to be subversive of existing institutions, and therefore injurious to the well-being of the State. They might argue in this fashion : it is true that the working classes of England are entitled, by their numbers, know ledge, and wealth, according to the theory of the Constitution, to a larger share of political power, but it is likewise true that their principles and tendencies are hostile to institutions—political, re ligious, and social—so long held sacred in England, but which would not long -survive the increase of popular power ; therefore - they would prefer rather to do violence to the theory of the Constitution than run the risk of sacrificing ancient institutions to theoretical completeness. Without stopping to in quire how far the working classes are hostile to such institutions as the House of Peers, the established religion, or the law of primogeniture, it seems to us as clear as the summer sun at noon that the exclusion, on such a plea of the working classes from such pri vileges as the Constitution might confer on them, would bring on a collision of classes which would not only lead to the overthrow of the most cher - ished institutions, but endanger the stability of the Empire. How to deal with the working classes, powerful by their numbers, by their or ganised combinations, abandoned to the pursuit of material interests and enjoyments, and un guided by the light of religion, is the most diffi cult problem of modern society ; and we are not, therefore, surprised, when it presents itself under one form or [another, that men shrink from at tempting its solution. Reconciliation and not col lision is evidently the wisest and most Christian ;course.. to be adopted. . A- - Collision' such as that between the socialistic working men and the Einperor Napoleon, which deluged the streets of Paris. with blood in 1852, is a dangerous cure, and one likely to have sown in blood seeds of future mischief. What we have now to do at home to avoid a like alienation of classes, is to give generously and ungrudgingly to the working classes their fair share .of political power, so ar ranged that it shall in no wise trespass on the po litical rights or swamp the due influence of any other class entitled to political power. Whether household suffrage. and cumulative votes and lateral extension, taking taxation and education as the bases of the electoral privilege, will effect the well-ordered gradation necessary in our Consti tution, are questions requiring, at the hands of our legislators, the most careful and impartial Consideration. In their hands rests the future welfare of the country. After having devised the most generous reform compatible with the general safety, we must put confidence in the working classes and seek to reconcile them to the existing institutions, so far, at least, as such in stitutions answer . the end of justice and good government. The late conference at the Loudon Coffee House showed what little hold the religion of the country had upon the people ; other confer ences, if they were to be held, would, doubtless, show the extent of the alienation of classes, or what little sympathy many of the working people have, with the House of Peers, or with our system of primogeniture, or with our military system or civil administration. When our institutions are intertwined with the. roots of the Constitution or answer the end of good government, we should do our utmost temperately, but firmly, to recon cile the' working classes to these ancient safe guards of • our country ; but where our institu tions, religions or political, cease to answer a wise purpose or to fulfil their proper end—the moral and material well-being of • the nation—we mist not allow prejudice or old habit to blind our in tellectual vision or stay the reforming hand. In stitutions, however venerable by age or by :asso ciations, unless they are rooted in the heart and in the intelligence of the people, are mere shadows of a departed power, remnants of a lost glory soon destined to' be numbered among the ruins of a nation's greatness. CLOCKS AND WATCHES. In commenting upon *Mr. Wood's entertaining work on the Curiosities of Clocks and Watches the Saturday Review gives the following able summary of all the various means employed from the earliest period in the measurement of time by water, air, shadows, sand, fire, and machinery. Unhappily, the records and monuments of the most primitive races known to us (says the writer) yield but little information. Though the gnomon, or sun-dial, cer tainly seems to have been in use among the Egyp tians, we are not aware of any example of the kind having been met with in that country. By Herodo tus the invention is 'attributed to the Babylonians. The earliest actual notice of it we possess is the well known one of the sun dial of Allaz. Its introduction into Greece is generally attributed to Anaximander. The dial, riWpcov, was probably, in its origin, no more than an upright pillar or staff, the hours being measured by its shadow, which was marked off into feet along the ground where the shadow fell. It was, of course, extremely imperfect as an indi cator of time ; and it was impossible by it to divide the day into 12 equal spaces. The IT iiXos or ipuorpOiriov, of which our museums :contain several, was of a more scientific construction. It 'consisted of a basin (AcKaviv) of stone or marble, in the middle of which the staff or index (yveop.cov) was erected, throwing its shadow upon six or twelve meridian lines drawn from, it as a centre to the circumference of the concave surface. The general name for instruments, of whatever kind, for mea suring time was c'opoAcirov (horologium), whether it referred to a sun-dial, clepsydra, sand-glass, or clock. The period of the first introduction of the clepsydra is not known, but these con trivances are said to have been common in Egypt before they are met with in Greece. I Mr. Wood•has missed the fact that Plato made himself a night-clock of that sort, and that Bath, the comic writer, a century later, speaks of them as in common use, according. to Athenams. The clepsydra was used in the courts of justice at Athens to measure the time allowed for speak ing, as we learn from the amusing pas sages in Aristophanes, as well as from allu sions by the orators. lts form and construction may be seen very clearly from a passage in the Problems of Aristotle. A great improvement was introduced in the WpoXtiytop apavXocop of Ctesibius of Alexan dria about B.C. 150, which is elaborately described for Virginias. It combined wheel-work with the action of water, and the hours were pointed out by a small statue, holding a wand. The so-called Temple of the Winds at Athens, besids exhibiting a dial,appears to have been a clepsydra ou a large scale. The first horologiunz in use at Rome was a sun-dial, solarium, set up, according to some by Papirius Cur si‘oire,ssna.ica., 2 f 9 r 2 co 0 m ; tahcobrodoitnygot o f o a t t l a t ras; B.C.by 11 2 1 6 . 3 1 . rel e rr r s s was made for a different meridian, and showed time very incorrectly. The first dial regulated to the meridian of Rome was set up by Q. Marcius Phil lipus. P. Scipio Nasica in his censorship B.C. 159 established the first public clepsydra. Water-clocks were in general use in Caesar's time for measuring the night- watches, and by a law of Cn. Pompeius, B.C. 52 they were introduced into the Courts of Rome, asat Athens, as a check on the speakers. • A kind of water-dock was . found in use in Britain by Caesar, and there is good presumption, from the arithmetical treatise of one Bhascara Aeharya writ- Lewin the 12th century, - that they were early used in India. A wondrous account is given by Abbot STATE OF -TRA.DE. CARDIFF, 11th.—Since last report there has been a slight improvement in the demand for steam coal on former account, and in consequence of the long prevalent easterly winds, . wnich have prevented shipping coming up Channel, there is a brisk in-. quiry for ready tonnage. Coal freights to most of the foreign markets, including the long voyages, have advanced. There is a lack of that vitality and activity which characterised business some three or four mouths since to be observed throughout the district, but it is hoped that the foreign demand will shortly resume somewhat its old proportions. The advices from the Continent lead to the belief that the stocks which had accumulated there towards the and that foreign consumers will again enter the close of last quarter e No ao c a be r i e ataa b zriglea e rebe i n tefbe g oerani g la r to a a cimk d ia ooel u mnd a c l epeo l reduced,rynlaasteelnipnattend ancet itoh consumersn market for large supplies.

Arsene Houssaye, the well-known author and editor of the Artiste, who is now engaged in preparing an exhibition of portraits. It is said that• the project has been well received, and that the collection islikely to be a highly interesting one, including many fine and curious works, e specially of the,revoltionary period. Id. Arsene lions saye't3 position in the administrative department of the Beaux Arts, and his reputation as an art critic, give him peculiar advantages for such an undertaking.
