Burst and Blackctt, 13, Great Marlborough-street. accordance with facts. He also says, in allusion tol the statement made in my paper, that the oxide most frequently obtained by my process contains about 65 per cent. of binoxide ; that he is " in a position most positively to inform the public that such is not the case," and that "45 per cent. is much nearer the truth than 65 per cent." It is difficult to condescend to make any reply to so mendacious an assertion, but I will just state that I exhibited at Dundee a sample of oxide, which had been produced by the hundredweight, which was reported by the profes sional analyst employed to test it as containing about 78 per cent. of binoxide ; that I have very fre quently obtained by the same process an oxide even richer than this, and that all who have yet tried my process have obtained an oxide of more than 55 per cent. far oftener—even under the very imperfect conditions which always obtain in first trials of a new invention—than an oxide of any lower strength. Similarly Mr. Baggs has the audacity to declare that the oxide produced by my process " cannot be treated," in what he chooses to call " the off-hand manner" described in my paper, so as to enable all the operations of the process to be performed in one and the same vessel, that vessel being the " still," in which the artificial oxide is afterwards employed to liberate chlorine ; the facts being that my process is already in manufacturing use, and that artificial oxide of manganese produced by it is at this moment being treated quite successfully by a I ton at a time, exactly as described in my paper. Every other statement made by Mr. Baggs with respect to my process is similarly simply and entirely untrue. So far from Mr. Baggs being " in a position to in. form the public" upon any point whatever connected with my process, he evidently does not even know what my process is. The process of which he pro fesses to have had so much unfavourable experience, and his alleged experience of which is the sole jus tification he offers for his audacious statement, in small capitals, that my process is "not new," cannot, on his own showing, have been the same as mine, inasmuch as he found it impossible to obtain by it results which my process yields with the utmost ease, and could not render it available for manufacturing purposes, whereas mine, as I have said, is in manu facturing operation at this moment. Moreover, what Mr. Riggs, iu his letter, describes as being my process is simply the decomposition of still-liquor by means of lime, and the subsequent preoxiclation by means of atmospheric oxygen of the protoxide of manganese so obtained. As thus broadly stated, this process, " the general rationale " of which was known to chemists before Mr. Boggs wrs born, be long neither to Mr. Baggs nor to myself, but is common property. During the last 30 or 40 years a great many methods of carrying out this process, all hairing precisely the same " general rationale," and all " identical in chemical details," and differing only as regards methods of procedure, have been patented, tried, found wanting, and abandoned. No such process, until mine, has come into manufactur ing use. In such a case, it is only particular methods of procedure that can be patented. Certain methods of procedure arc all that have been patented by me ; it is these modes cf procedure which make all the difference between my success and the failure of my predecessors in the same field ; and the very letter in which Mr. Baggs so unfoundedly claims that I have stolen my methods of procedure from him conclusively proves that he does not even know what they are. Nor is this unscrupulous claimant better informed with respect to the simplest particulars re lating to the old method of manufacturing chlorine. Becausel speak of performing all the operations of my process in a " still," he saysthat the vessel I use " can be no other" than " a large leaden still, with blown joints and seams," evidently entirely unaware that for nearly a generation now at least 99 out of every 100 stills used in Great Britain for the generation of chlorine for use in the manufacture of bleaching pZider have been made, not of lead, but of silicious stone.

Canterbury SOUTH-WESTERN DISTRICT, Commissariat Cage, St. Thomas-streq, Porismouth:— As I have said that I was ignorant, until 1 yes terday saw his letter to you, that Mr. Baggs had ever projected any improvements in the manufacture of chlorine, I am bound to refer, with some parti cularity, to the interview between Mr. Hook and Mr. Baggs, at which, at Mr. Hook's request, I was present. It took place some months after I had patented my process ; previous to it I had never either seen or heard of Mr. Baggs ; and I have never seen him, nor till yesterday had I ever heard of him since. Mr. Baggs says that the "object of the interview was to discuss some projected im provements of" his " in the manufacture of bleach (chlorine)," but this is certainly not the fact. It was to discuss something with respect to the manu facture of " bleach ;" but in reply to a direct ques tion of mine, Mr. Baggs distinctly stated that what he had in his mind had nothing to do with the manufacture of chlorine, but only with the manu facture of " bleach" therefrom, after the chlorine had been itself produced. The " further ques tions" which Mr. Baggs says " were not answered satisfactorily," were as to whether Mr. Hook, before receiving any information as to what Mr. Baggs proposed to do beyond the general assertion that it was to produce " better bleach" than could then be commanded, would hand over £lO to enable Mr. Baggs to make an apparatus which should show what he could do—" an apparatus," said Mr. Baggs, " which could stand on this little table," at which he was taking his tea; and would, moreover, sign some written preliminary agreement : to both of which conditions Mr. Hook declined to accede. There was no hint that Mr. Baggs was then contemplat ing, or had ever contemplated, cheapening or other wise improving the manufacture of chlorine itself, which is the sole thing that my process has reference to. All he talked about was some new way of applying the chlorine, after it had been liberated. Moreover, he did not " keep his counsel" quite so completely as he alleges, for he went on to indicate that an essential part of his plan consisted in bring ing the lime which it was desired to convert into bleaching-powder into intimate contact with the chlorine it was desired to absorb, by putting it into a kind of revolving barrel-churn, and sending the chlorine into that, an idea which, so far from being new, was proposed at a very early period . of the practised for bl ea ching-powder manufacture, wa s many years, and was at length superseded by better processes. Some of the allegations in Mr. Baggs's letter will be better dealt with in a court of law than in your columns, and I will therefore now leave its writer, for the present at least, to the judgment of your readers. They will n ot fail to estimate at its true value what is simply one of those efforts at detrac tion which all honest and successful inventors would seem nowadays to have to endure at the hands of men who, unable to succeed themselves, seek to soothe their wounded vanity by the assertion of unbounded claims to the merit of the success of others ; and Mr. Baggs will not fail to find that to bring against such charges as lie has ve ntured me, like the " curses" and " chickens" of the Spa nish proverb, "always come home to roost."

THOMAS HOWELL, Director of Contracts. War-office, Pall Mall (S.W.), Sept. 13, 1867. Sir, ----My attention has been called by Mr. Wel don to a letter in last week's Journal signed " Isham Bag's." I have read the letter, and the insinuation contained in it that I communicated any chemical knowledge whatever that had been confidently im parted to me by Mr. I. Baggs to Mr. Weldon, who subsequently patented it, is simply and entirely false. In 1862 my friend Mr. 'William Thomas, of Soho Mills, met with and engaged Mr. Baggs to conduct some experiments, and I joined in the ex penses. The results were worthless, and Mr. Baggs was dismissed ; but, so far as the lapse of five years enables me to recollect, during which time I have not given Mr. Baggs's confidential communication a second thought, they were on the absolute necessity of our expending some thousands to enable him to -) f (.• - - 7 _ • o:ltak • N 7 , 4 —Mao .1.1 4 -- - • ‘` - Ale • - I. l* - , .4ittk • s:;i. • 14, %574:1 1 # '7' V 8 Te r tfA - .** , -°` • ..-sk I • • • I , r , - • , .

Had it been otherwise, when Mr. Weldon men tioned his process to me, on my first making his acquaintance, early in 1566, I must have recol lected it; but, on the contrary, I felt so satisfied after investigation, and inquiry of the novelty and feasibility of his process, that I at once joined several mutual friends with a view to carry it into commercial effect. C. TOWNSEND HOOK. Snodland Works, Maidstone, Sept. 17. TI-fE BOULOGNE FETES. (Concluded.) It was seven o'clock before the solemn Benedic tion service was over, and that being the time at which I had been invited to a grand banquet in the old episcopal palace, I hurried off, and in what the French call a little quarter of an hour, stood "in grande tenue " in the presence of the three bishops, the maire, the prefect, and more than 100 other dignitaries, ecclesiastical and secular. After dinner, the first toast was the Holy Father, coupling with it his worthy representative Mgr. Marinelli, who had been sent from Rome expressly to represent his Holiness on this occasion of the fetes. The next toast was that of Mgr. Haffreingue, and long and loud was the applause that greeted it. The venerable old man made a humorous re ply, and then the Bishop of Arras proposed the English pilgrims, and being called upon to respond, I told " inter alia" how devotion to the Blessed Virgin was increasing in England, and how we would come in greater numbers to Boulogne next year. The banquet over, I quietly made my escape into the ramparts, where the calm beauty of the night contrasted gratefully with the whirring ex citement of the day, and as the glorious full moon lighted up the misty valley and river of the Seam and the bold wooded hills and sparkling sea, I thought of her who is " pulchra ut lama." On Monday morning we were up betimes, for what 1 1 sluggard could lie in bed and hear all the bells of the town summoning to the worship of the great Creator. There is ever something new and beau tiful to be seen at Notre Dame during this blessed time, and thither we went to witness the arrival of 2,700 pilgrims from St. Omer. They came like the others, with their banners and their song and their offering for the sanctuary, and they came also fasting and with little baskets containing the necessaries for the day. It was a touching sight to see the devotion of these people, and how it re quired the services of two priests to administer the Holy Communion to them at Mass. One cir cumstance particularly struck me, that this the most numerous pilgrimage of all that had visited the sanctuary this year should have come from a town that has its own renowned sanctuary of our Lady, that of "Notre Dame des Miracles." A large pilgrimage also came from Calais, and the antiquated cure and doctor had travelled all night in a post-chaise, never having in their lives yet ventured on a railway. Hardly had the proces sional song ceased when the high notes of female voices were heard approaching, and a beautiful procession came in from the Ursuline Convent, looking so pure and white and holy, that one could have fancied it a troop of St. Ursulas come back to earth again. Thus it is all day, and every day for three weeks during this beautiful festival, that devout pilgrims from various places come in to pay their solemn homage at this chosen sanc tuary. In the afternoon, there was a grand pro cession to the crypt, and the effect of several thousands of persons, each with a lighted taper in hand, winding through the tortuous vaulted laby rinth was very beautiful. Here and there could be seen amongst the modern work some portion of the ancient crypt, undoubtedly of the ninth century. Later in the evening, a greater treat was prepared for us in a fine sermon in French from Father Hermann, on devotion to the Blessed Virgin ; and our day ended as usual with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. On Tuesday morning the'. Cathedral had its usual early attractions for our pilgrims, and many seemed to linger about it most part of the day. Some strolled off to the fishing village of Portel, where they found most of the male population had departed for the North Sea fishing, and learned that before sailing 500 went to Holy Communion as a preparation for the perils of the voyage. Then they visited the grove of the gallant Colonel Dupuis. He it was who on the morning of the Bth of Sep tember, before the storming of the Malakoff, calmly sat down to write his will, and remembering the beautiful feast, bequeathed his cross of the Legion of Honour to Our Lady of Boulogne, and then he received Holy Communion, and afterwards nobly fell at the head of his regiment on that fatal day. His body was recovered and sent to his native town of Boulogne, where it was interred with great pomp, and his cross was placed at the feet of our Lady's statue. It was borne in the procession on a velvet cushion ; and who that saw it and did not feel his own heart fired to do some heroic act in honour of our Lady! Tuesday evening came too quickly for our pilgrims, and at nine o'clock they assembled at the Lady Chapel to offer their last prayers before departing on their homeward voyage. Father Hermann said the prayer for travellers ; then we sang " Hail, Queen of Heaven," the "Magnificat," and, finally, the "Te Deum." By half-past ten each one had taken possession of the berth previously engaged, and then, on the calmest of nights, this the first English pilgrimage for 300 years was on its way back to England. Next year another pilgrimage will be organised, and, with the aid of a committee, it is hoped one worthy of the Catholics of this country will be formed. Boulogne has a double claim on us. Our Henry VIII., of evil memory, desolated . this sanctuary, and the good llgr. Haffreingue has been nearly fifty years yearning and praying for the conversion of our land, and when lie finished the mighty dome of his cathedral he placed on its summit the beautiful statue of our Lady turned towards England. When I took leave of the kind-hearted and venerable man I knelt and thanked him from my heart for the glorious things he has done, and for which every one who loves our Lady should be grateful.

NEW PROCESS FOR MAKING CHLORINE. In the Mining .Journal of Saturday (21st inst.) we find the followi ng l etters f ro m Mr. Walter Wel don and Mr. Townsend Hook, in answer to th e one from Mr. Isham B aggs, in re f ere nce to the manu facture of chlorine, w hi ch appeare d in the Mining Journal of the previ ous Satur d ay (14th September), and which, as relati ng to a ma tt e r of scientific in terest, was copied into our impression of last Mon day evening. having already given one side of the argument—if on l y in fair-play, we no w readil y give insertion to th e su b joine d : Sir,—l beg to clai m, as a mat t er of simple justice, space for a few word s of most i n dignant denial of the charges which are brought against me in the extraordinary letter from Mr. Isham Baggs, which appears in the journal of last week. One of those charges is that I have plagiarised from Mr. Baggs the new process for th e manu f ac t ur e' of chlorine, which I described at th e recen t m eeting of the British Association for th e Ad vanceme nt of Science. Mr. Baggs asserts that ‘‘ in 1:862, at the Soho Works, Woburn," he communicated to my friend Mr. Townsend Hook, of the Snodland Paperworks, " the rationale of the whole process" which I de scribed and illustrated at Dundee, and more than insinuates that Mr. Hook must have communicated to me what Mr. Baggs thus alleges that he com municated to him five years ago, and that I thus appeared in " borrowed plumage" at Dundee, pre senting "as the genuine coinage of my own brain" what was really that of the brain of Mr. Baggs. Permit me, Sir, to declare that Mr. Hook, whose acquaintance I did not make until Feb. 24 last year, has never at any time communicated to me "the rationale" of any process for the manufacture of chlorine ; that Mr. Hook has never informed me of any particular whatever relative to any process in any way connected with that manufacture ; that, notwithstanding my having been acquainted with Mr. Hook for the last 18 monihs, and having once been present at an interview between that gentle man and Mr. Baggs, I was entirely ignorant until yesterday, when 1 first saw his letter in your columns, that Mr. Baggs had ever experimented with respect to that manufacture, or had ever projected any im provements in it ; that there is no mention or hint in all chemical literature, neither in the records of any patent office in the world, of anyone before myself having ever experimented with any process for the perpetual recovery of the oxide of manganese used iu the manufacture of chlorine at all really re sembling that patented by me ; that this process was in very truth my own original conception, and ha.§ been honestly worked out by me, without help or hint from any one whatever; and that I still fully believe, previous to the publication of my first specification relating to my process, no one but myself had ever performed it, even in the laboratory. Mr. Baggs further charges me with having, in my paper read at Dundee, made assertions with p RINTING. —TO PROPRIETORS OF P NEWSPAPERS, PERIODIOALS, &c.—The Print ing and Machining of Newspapers, &c., done on exceed ingly favourable terms.

We remained there a few days making preparations for the march, and when these were finished we set off about the beginning of April, making long marches every day, and halting each Sunday. For some time all went well, and when we had reached far into the interior the climate of the country, and want of proper food began to tell upon us, and most of us rapidly fell ill, and two sepoys and one Nassick boy were left behind at different stages, being unable to keep up with us. Most of the animals having died, the Doctor Sahib was obliged to hire men to carry the baggage, and at several places had some difficulty in getting them, so he used to go on ahead and leave us, and after some days we used to follow on. At one village we were ordered to leave our canvas bags with our regimental necessaries, and to take with us only our arms and accoutrements and such kits as we were able to carry ourselves. Before reaching Mataka we passed through an immense jungle, where we ex perienced much difficulty in getting food or water, and where Dr. Livingstone left us, going on himself to Mataka. Fortunately we met a caravan of slaves with some Arabs in charge who gave us food to eat and directed us on our way to Mataka, which we managed to reach one after another in a deplorable condition. Here I was so ill with fever and dysentery as to be unable to rise from the ground, and most of the sepoys were nearly as bad. We remained at Mataka a long time and partially recovered. One day the Doctor Sahib called us up before him, and told us that ho was going on to Nyassa, but that he was going to send us all back to Zanzibar, as we were too ill to go on with him. lie then made us over to the charge of the head man at Mataka, to whom he gave some cloth for our support until the arrival of an Arab named Suli mon, with whom we were to go back to Zanzibar. Dr. Livingstone also gave the Mataka chief a letter addressed to the Sultan of Zanzibar which was to be given to Sulimon for safe transport. After this Dr. Livingstone set off for Nyassa, taking with him Havildar Shaik Amed, who asked to be allowed to go on, and we remained at Mataka till Suli mon Arab arrived with a large number of slaves, and left with him for the coast. For two or three months I managed to keep up with the caravan, but we afterwards fell short of supplies, and I became very ill. Seeing the difficulty I had to keep up, Sulimon one day gave my musket to one of his men to carry. However I found it impossible to get on, and with severe fever on me, and footsore, and with arms, legs, and body all swollen, I lay down under a tree and gave myself up for lost. How long exactly I lay there, without food or drink, and almost unconscious, I don't know, but 1 thick it was the eighth day when some Seedees, passing by, caught sight of me. They came up to me and one of them put his knife to my throat to cut it. I tried to speak, but my throat and mouth were perfectly parched and I could make no sound, but made them understand by signs to take all they, could find on my body, but to spare my life. They then cut my belt in two and ripped up the clothing I had on, not knowing how to unfasten them, and then they went away. After this I lost my senses, and when I came to myself I found myself in a hut with two Seedees, who were giving me water to drink. Hav ing picked up sufficient of the language of the country to make myself understood, when able to • speak, I asked how I had come there? They told me they had found me lying naked under a tree, and seeing that I was of a different colour to the ordinary inhabitants, they had taken me up and brought me to their village. I remained with them about a month or more, and had recovered so far as to be able to walk pretty well, when one day a caravan of slaves arrived and halted in the place. The Seedee told me to get up and follow him. We went to the slave encampment, and on the way I asked why he had brought me there. He replied, "I am going to sell you to the Arab." The bargain was soon concluded, and I was sold for two thans of cloth. I asked the Arab where he was going to take me to ? He said to Kilwa. I asked to whom does Kilwa belong ? He replied, "To the Sultan of Zanzibar." I asked him if there was any chief or head man there, and he told me there was a Sirdar of the Sultan's there. I was very glad to hear this, as I saw an opportunity of getting back to Zanzibar; but I was careful not to let out that I was a sepoy, as I felt sure if they had known it they would have killed me. When we prepared to set off the next day, the Arab was going to fasten me up the same as the other slaves, but I pointed out that I was ill, and it was quite out of my power to run away, and that I was quite willing to go with him. So he allowed me to go unfastened, and after a march of a month or more we came into the Zani bar territory, and one day when going along the coast I heard a great shouting and noise in the jungle, and said to the Arab, "Some one must be here." I then thought of some means of getting into his presence, and as we had been hard up for food for some days I said to the Arab, " Take me before this Sirdar, and I will beg some food and clothes." The Arab said, " Will he give you food and clothes?" I replied, " Yes, when he sees MC naked and in this state he will surely give me some." So he took me with him and four other slaves, and when we came to the place we found the Sirdar superintending the launch of a vessel they had built there. When we got close to the Sirdar I salaamed to him, and he asked who I was. I said I was a ser vant of the English. He said, " Where do you come from ?" I replied, "I am one of the sepoys who accompanied Dr. Livingstone." I then told him my story, and that the Arab was taking me to Kilwa to sell me as a slave. He said, "No one has the power to sell you here ; if you were sold the English would quarrel with us, and take Kilwa and Zanzibar from us." Then turning to the Arab he said, " Are you going to sell him at Kilwa?" The Arab replied, " Yes, I shall get 200 rupees for him." The Sirdar told him that I was an Eug• lish sepoy, and asked if he did not know it? lie replied " No." The Sirdar then laid hold of him, and gave him two blows in the face, and sent him away. The Sirdar took me with him to Kilwa, which was distant five days' journey, and kept me there for about a month, and then sent me to Zan zibar. On arrival 1 went to the Consul's house, but found that both Dr. Seward and Dr. Kirk were away ; however, they returned a few days after wards, and took care of me, until an opportunity offered to send me to Bombay. Whilst staying there some news of Dr. Livingstone came from the Sultan, and the Consul Sahib ordered the Moonshee to explain it to me. The Moonshee told me that the Sultan of Zanzibar had written to say that news had been heard of Dr. Livingstone, that he was not murdered, but that he and his party were well, and at some place beyond Nyassa. Ido not remember the date of my depazture from Zanzibar, but I ar rived in Bombay, after a long voyage, on the 24th of May, 1867. tADVICRTISEMENT.)—Du Barry's Delicious Health Re storin g Revalenta Arabica Food, which contains three times the nourishment of the best meat, saves fifty times its cost in other remedies, restores perfect digestion, strong nerves, sound lungs, healthy liver, refreshing sleep, functional regularity, and r,, eue y to the most disordered or enfee bl e d, removing speedily an d e ffectually indigestion (dyspepsia), . habitual constipation, diarrhoea, haemorrhoids, liver complaints, flatulency, nervous, ness, biliousness, fevers, sore throats, catarrhs, colds, influenza, noises in the head and ears , rheumatism, gout, impurities, erup tions, hysteria, neuralgia , irritability, sleeplessness, acidity, pal pitation. heartburn, hea dache, debility, dropsy, cramps, spasms, nausea, and sickness, sinking fits, coughs, asthma, brou,ihitis, incipient consumption, scrofula, tightness of the chest, pains at the pit of the stomach, between the shoulders, &c.
