From the German of Dr PICK FOR t With an Introduction by the Editor, containing a complete exposure of the system of terrorism and extortion pursued by the advertising quacks of the metropolis towards those who are credulous enough to seek their aid. "; ur. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that ho has addressed himself to the nou-ntedi :al reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall ietect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his-over to cor reet."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of ' Quiet Sympathisers,' and Medical Friends,' arc mercilessly exposed; and if this book could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would ho saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize— much money.— .. This volume is well qualified to put an end to the empirical system of treating Spermatorrhma, and to place the treat ment npon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore, likely to do much good." London: U. Ralliere. 219, Regent-street. EXT OF KIN.—If the relations or next of kin LI of Dame ANNE PEARL, formerly of At.

They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be Sound very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of rosts, or any painful operation, and 'trill support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street.

Be particular in asking for "Cocks' Rea lin/ Sauce," which is pre pared ONLY by John and Charles Cocks, at their Manufactory, Duke - street, Reading. All others are counterfeits. Observe the name, "J. and 0. COCKS, Reading," on the seal and label of each bottle : without this none are genuine. PATENT SELF-ADJUSTING TRUSSES.

The splendid ceremonial with which the Emperor of the French proceeded on Thursday last to N otre Dame to return thanks to Almighty God for the victory which had crowned the arms of the Allies, and the public rejoicings in Paris and in many other parts of France to celebrate this great event, were doubtless intended by the, French Government to convoy to the nation a lively conception of the magnitude and importance of this achievement. In this"country the enthusiasm called forth by the glorious termination of the siege of Sebastopol has been genuine, universal, and entirely spontaneous. The Government has done nothing, beyond the firing of the Park guns, to excite or encourage the exultation of the country, and it must be said that among us no fugleman was 'needed to lead the public rejoicings. Throughout the United Kingdom the siege of Sebastopol, the sufferings of the army, the heroic valour of our troops, and the ultimate success of the expedition have been for nearly twelve months the familiar household thoughts of every member of this community. The operations of the army have been watched with all the in tensity of passionate interest. The convictions of the wise and the instincts of the ignorant pointed to the same end, and we all felt alike that the honour of England and her allies was pledged to succeed in this undertaking. Sebastopol, in every form, by charts, by prints, and by the ever-varying records of the siege, was continually before us, and , the people of England may fairly be said, during the whole period, to have given their undivided attention to this object, and to have sacrificed it to every other consideration. We owe this concentration of the national will, and this deep national interest in the common cause, mainly to the freedom of discussion which has never ceased among us. The English press, com manding means of observation not enjoyed by its continental rivals, and possessing a degree of liberty to which they have long been strangers, has power fully contributed to kindle and sustain this moral element of our national strength, and our Parlia mentary debates and inquiries have, of course, pro moted the same object. Take away those great and living organs of national life, and you may have official rejoicings and splendid pageants, but you lose the union of interest and intelligence , which gives birth to enthusiasm. In France the war has hitherto been less popular than in England, be cause less was known about it—it was less under stood. The reports published by the journals of the Government are read with distrust, and that portion of the press which is adverse or disaffected to the Government had used its influence to lower the confidence of the public in the operations of the army. It required, therefore, an extraordinary display of the magnificence of the Court, a solemn thanksgiving, and a popular festival to satisfy the public that an event of such incalculable import ance had actually taken place. In England the effect of General Simpson's modest and unpretending despatch was instan taneous, universal, and complete. No man required to be told twice the meaning of the words, " Sebas topol is in our hands ;" for they were no more than the fulfilment of our confident expectations and our ardent hopes. We have watched with some curiosity the different effects produced by this intelli gence on the continent, where they have been upon the whole less forcible, but not less instructive. The fall of Sebastopol, happening when it did, appears in a great measure to have taken by surprise those persons on the continent who are most favourable to the policy of the Western Powers ; but far more did it surprise and confound those who'derive their information from St. Petersburg, and who had been duped to the last moment by . Russian agents. Probably we have yet to learn that those who re ceived the news with the greatest astonishment of all were the Russians themselves, though the ad missions of Prince Gortschakoff's last deSpatches might have prepared them for a catastrophe. Thus struck by the calamity they had hoped to avert , appalled by the superiority of position which this victory gives to the Western Powers, and alarmed by the obvious failure cf the Russian army, a large proportion of the German and Belgian press have either received the news in sullen silence, or affect to discredit the circumstances proclaimed by the English press to the world : while one Belgian paper, notoriously a Russian organ, has the un paralleled impudence to assert that the loss of the south side of Sebastopol is rather a gain than other wise to the army commanded by Prince Gortscha koff. We do not believe this state of things to be a correct representation of public feeling on the con- tinent. iVe have no dolibt that the fall of Sebas topol has been hailed throughout Europe as a glo rious and auspicious event, and a heavy blow to Russia, and that the terms in which we have at tempted to describe its effects have been circulated in every European language, and read with joy by the nations sating in darkness and afar off. But such is the slavish condition of a large portion of the continental press, that it is only by borrowing and translating the sentiments of an English journal that they express their own opinions, and the Ger man newspapers are evidently less free than they were a year ago to hail the defeat of Russia as a national triumph. To the Austrian Government we have no doubt that the fall of Sebastopol is a welcome event. It terminates one act of the war, and insures one of the disputed conditions of peace ; it materially weakens Russian influence and power, and destroys the spell which has so long hung over Eastern Europe. These advantages are, however, balanced by the consideration that the Western Powers, having accomplished the most difficult part of their undertaking unaided by Austria, will be less than ever bound by the mutual engagements she has declined to fulfil. The state of Italy presents se rious grounds of anxiety, and the gallant conduct of Sardinia in this campaign entitles her to that support from the alliance which Austria has for feited. In short, although this event is one which the Cabinet of Vienna has long desired, no sooner has it occurred than the consequences of the deser tion of the treaty of the 2d of December by that Power 'will become more strikingly obvious and palpable. It happens, perhaps unfortunately for Austria, that a Russian despatch by Count Nessel rode has transpired just at this moment, though written as long ago as in June last, in which that wily Minister affects to establish a perfect identity of views between " the Imperial Courts" on all the conditions of peace ; but, on the other hand, Count Buol has so far been enabled to remain faithful to his own political relations with the Western Powers that he has rejected all the overtures and insinuations of Prince Gortschakoff, on the ground that Austria is bound by treaty to enter into no separate negotiation with Russia on the subject of the war: These transactions were, however, ante rior to the great event of the past week, and we are still entirely ignorant of the effect which the loss of Sebastopol and the critical position of Prince Gortschakoff's army may produce on the attitude of the Russian Cabinet towards the rest of Europe. The Emperor Alexander has chosen the present time, it seems, for an excursion to Moscow and to Warsaw, the latter capital being probably his real destination. The moment at which lie will enter the Kremlin is not a fortunate one ; nor will he find much more ground for satisfaction in the Polish provinces. But it remains to be seen whether the sacrifices of war and the pangs of defeat will rouse the fanaticism of the Russian people or will depress their courage. At St. Petersburg the party of the Grand Duke Constantine, who is passionately en gaged in thd war, is said to exercise an undisputed influence, and the changes recently made in two of the principal departments of the Government are all favourable to the same destructive policy. These are the men who are really exhausting the resources and destroying the political and military character of their country, and it is on them that the burden of humiliation and defeat ought justly to fall. Nor can we doubt that the evacuation of Sebastopol will produce a feeling of consternation in the Russian capital, which will probably be fol lowed by still stronger efforts for the defend° of the empire. ( From, the Daily News of this day.) We learn from our Roman correspondent that the inhabitants of the " eternal city" have been somewhat mystified by a visit from two Russian generals en route for Naples. These unexpected visitors, it is true, appear to have spent most of their time at Rome in the studios of the artists, from some of whom they made purchases. The Romans, however, cannot be persuaded that Russia can spare its generals at present on dilletavte plea sure trips ; and the notorious leanings of the Nea politan Court have rendered them doubly suspici ous of these northern Nizecenases. For our own part we fear little from any Russian agents, who travel about after a fashion that rather courts than repels publicity ; and no doubt Russia, like our selves, has some genera ls whose services in time of war may safely be dispensed with. But we have no doubt that the diplomatic agency of Russia is at this moment extremely active throughout Europe, and that we have more to fear from its activity than from the armies of the Czar. The singular unanimity and persistence with which the organs of Russia in the European press continue to repre sent the war in the East as calculated to promote the exclusive interests of England, and to insist that France: is beguiled into subserviency to the ambitious views of this country, has for its object the weakening of the alliance between those Power's by awakening mutual jealousy and distrust. The device is stale : it was exposed by Talleyrand in 1831, as is apparent from a letter of that statesman which we published a few days ago. It is, however, worthy of remark that the idea of alienating France from England by systematic misrepresentations of this kind originated with an Austrian Minister. Talleyrand directly charges Metternich with having suggested this insidious policy to Russia. And now, as then, we find Aus trian diplomacy hunting in couples with that of Russia. The frantic King of Naples makes no secret of his Russian partisanship; and Austrian agents are indefatigable in their preParations to protect that monarch from the consequences of the indignation which his conduct has excited through- out Italy. "An Imperial Commissary," so writes our Roman correspondent ®n the 10th inst., "has been recently visiting the frontier city of Ascoli, which would be on the line of march from the Le- gations, through La Marca, to the Neapolitan pro vince of Aquila, to see what supplies of provisions and forage can be depended on for 'the Austrian forces to be detached in support of .King Bomba's throne." Our correspondent adds that Count Esterhazy, brother to the Austrian Charge d'Af faires at the Papal Court, paid a flying visit to Rome about ten days ago, and, after an inter view with the Pope and Cardinal Antonelli, de parted in haste for Naples.. In connection with these incidents must be taken theustematic endea vours of the Austrian' press in binnibardy-to dis seminate groundless suspicions as to the ulterior objects of the English Government in raising an Italian legion in Piedmont. Austria is conspiring with the King of Naples to find work for France and Englind in Italy that may create a diversion in favour of Russia. This is no more than might have been expected. The interests of Austria and Russia—as understood by these Governments—are in a great measure identical. Both are insatiable in their desire to aggrandise themselves at the expense of their neighbours, and both are morbidly afraid of the progress of liberal opinions. Slight differences do occur between them at times, when unluckily both have set their hearts on the acqui sition• of the same • territory ; but these are soon got over f rom, a conviction that their interests are in the main the same. We have just had an ex ample of this in the conduct of Austria with regard to the Danubian Principalities. The ( Austrian Go vernment coveted and attempted to gain possession of these provinces -long before Russia had made sufficient progress in the Ukraine and the Crimea to be able to• lay her hands upon them. Austria still covets them, and hence she has played fast and loose with Trance, England and Turkey, until she has been allowed to take military ocoupatio u of them. Confident that they cannot now be rescued from her grasp—no longer afraid of seeing Russia get hold of them before her—Austria returns to her alliance with the Czar, who, hard pressed by the Western Powers, is obliged to wink at tho trick which has been played him by the Cabinet of Vienna. To a Sardinian Government belongs the honour of hating been the first to call the attention of the European Powers to the complicity of Austria and Russia in the project of despoiling the Ottoman Government: In 1783 Austria and Russia were availing themselves of the discord which prevailed among the Western Powers to extend their joint spoliation of the Sultan. The war between France and England, which arose out of the American Re volution, was terminated in that year but peace sometimes implies merely a cessation of hostilities, not the establishment of friendship and concert. In this state of affairs it was the effort of the Sardinian Government of the day to unite the Western Powers in opposition to the ambitious designs of Austria and Russia failed, but its indefatigable efforts to this end are apparent from an interesting collection of diploniatic papers that have recently been pub lished at Turin. As a sample of these documents we invite attention to the following extract from a despatch to Count Foralana, extraordinary envoy of Sardinia at the Court of Berlin, which is dated the 29th of September, 1783, signed by the King Victor Amadeus 111., and countersigned by his Minister for Foreign Affairs : As in the actual crisis of Europe your mission to Ber lin becomes daily more important, we have deemed it time to giye you a precise idea of the view which we take of affairs now on the tap is, in order that you may be in a condition to act and speak as circumstances may de mand. To this end we begin by informing you that, whatever reports may have been spread to the contrary, we are unhampered by any engagement. But as it might have happened that Rome of the European Power-i, who have a more direct interest than we have in averting the storm which threatens the Ottoman Empire, and imposing a check on the vast projects of the two Imperial Courts, should have claimed our co-operation without leaving us time to see what turn affairs were likely to take, we deemed it necessary to give urgent orders, a few months ago, to place our troops, arsenals, and magazines, on such a footing that we should have at our disposal an army of 25,000 men. We also took measures for the augmentation of this corps as soon as it should be neces sary. Raving adopted these precautions, prudence dictates that we should wait to see what part the great powers of Europe are about to take : whether they will allow the Russians and Austrians to ruin the Ottoman Em pire, or whether they will unite to hinder the too great aggrandisement of the courts of Vienna and St. Peters burg. It is obvious that these two powers aim at no thing less than a vast ext-insion of their territories, the monopoly of the Levant, and ultimately of that of India. It appears, therefore, to flow from these pre mises that all the other European Powers have the greatest interest in arresting designs which threaten some of them with the decline of their trade, others with the logs of their preponderance in the European system, or even in part of their nat►onal independence. The wars of the French revolution soon came to divert attention from the warnings of Victor Ama deus. For a long time Austria had other things to think of than aggrandisement at the expense of Turkey. Russia- persevered, though at times in terrupted by the necessity of defending herself against the enterprises of Napoleon I. And now at the elei , enth hour France and England have been obliged to arm to avert dangers pointed out to them by the Sardinian Government of 1783. Austria, having soothed her amour propre—disturbed by the start Russia has got of her in the interim—by the dexterous pieoe of legerdemain which has played the Danubian Principalities into her hand, is now again making common cause with the Czar. In joining the Anglo-French alliance the King of Sar dinia is true to the hereditary policy of his dynasty; and he has good cause to be so, for Austria threatens him more nearly than she did Victor Amadeus in 1783. A cry has been attempted to be got up in certain quarters that attention has of late been ' drawn to the troubles impending in Italy for the purpose of diverting attention from the Ottoman question ; but the historical retrospect in which we have been indulging shows that the Turkish and • Italian questions are inseparable. MINES.—We have had nothing very. new or striking in the market this week. The amount of business trans acted, as will be seen by the official list, has been limited, and prices have been flatter with one or two exceptions. Devon Great Conso ls advanced to 400. Rosewarnes have declined. Alfred Consols, Stray Park. South Tamar, Tincroft, Tamar Consols, Trewetba, and North Robert inquired after. Sertridge Consols and West Sortridge Consols have been dull, especially the latter. The buoyancy which the news from the East would otherwise have given to the markets generally has been more than counterbalanced by the demand for money; and the fear which seems to be general that it will, before many months, be much dearer.—Mining Journal. THE IRON TRADE. —ln consequence of the great im provement which has taken place in the aspect of the iron trade, the ironmasters of South Wales have ge nerally determined to advance the wages of their workmen 10 per cent., and, in several instances, this was carried into effect at the last pay-day,. Messrs. Crawshay and Hill were the first to promise the in crease, and their example has pretty generally been fullowed by the other works. The iron trade now is in a very steady condition, orders being good, and there is every prospect of the trade continuing firm. The exports of iron still are large ; heavy shipments of rails and bars are being sent abroad. THE LATE LIEUT. PRESTON.—A Southampton corre spondent writes :—Last March a military officer, quite a lad, took a watch to. Mr. Pegler, a watchmaker in Southampton, to be repaired, and wished to have it again at two o'clock, as he was going to embark for the Crimea. It was thought he meant two o'clock the next day. Soon after midnight he came rapping at Mr. Pegler's door, and it was then discovered that be wanted the watch a t two o'clock in the morning, as he was about to embark very early. This was Lieut. Horatio Preston, of the Connaught Rangers, who fell gloriously in the Crimea, within a few weeks after he had landed there. The watch was returned to his family. It was in a battered state. On the 31st .August his brother, Lieut. George Berthon Preston, of the 97th Regiment, fell fighting in the Crimea. Both the brothers were killed in the trenches before the Great Redan. IVILDMIN WHITEHOUSE, Esq., read a paper on " Ex perimenial Observations upon an Electric Cable," giving it as his opinion that, for commercial purposes, for a sub marine telegraphic communication between England and America, a cable similar to those at present in use would be quite sufficient fn. the purposes required. Professor W. THOMSON, in remarking on the paper just read, expressed some doubts at the results arrived at by Mr. Whitehouse, assigning as a reason that, while experimenting upon a short cable, results materially different, in his opinion, would be obtained when a lengthened cable was experimented upon. The following - papers were then read by— Professor PlAzzr SMITH, on " Solar Refraction." Professor NicnoL—" Remarks on the Chronology of the Formations in the Moon, with a notice concerning the great Breadalbaue Reflector iu the Glasgow Obser vatory." Professor STOKES, F.R.S., a Double Object Glass." Professor W. THOMPSON, "On the Use of Observa tions of Terrestrial Temperature for the Investigation of Absolute Dates i❑ Geology." Dr. ADAMSON, " On the Fixing of Photograts." ANTOINE CLAUDET, F q., F.R.S., "On the Poly stereopticon ; a new Instrument to exhibit Stereoscopic " On the Achromatism of Pictures." Dr. GREEN, " On a Machine for Polishing the Specula of Reflecting Telescopes." A. J. ELLis, Esq., 8.A., " On a more general Theory of Analytical Geometry, including the Cartesian as a particular class." SECTION B.—CHEMICAL SCIENCE. Dr. LYON PLAYFAIR in the chair. Baron LIEBIG read a paper " On a new form of Cyanic Acid." In the course of some experiments on the ful minate of mercury, he oberved that that compound, when kept boiling in water, changed its colours, and lost its fulminating properties. On examining the change which had taken place he discovered a new acid, which had exactly the composition of cyanuric acid. Salts were produced remarkable for their beauty, and for the dis• tinctness of their crystalline form. Professor PENNY read a paper on the phosphorescence and composition of plate sulphate of potash. Dr. DAIIBENEY laid on the table some fine weights, for chemical purposes, made from the new metal formed from clay, viz., alumnium. A paper was read by Dr. ROSCOE, which had been pre pared by W. Bunsen of Heidelber, and himself, on pho to-chemical researches, with particular reference to the laws of the chemical action of light. Dr. Roscoe stated that two years had been spent in making experiments. The results were complicated and abstruse. They will shortly be published in a scientific journal. Professor RAMSAY, of Glasgow, F.R.S., read a paper on a process for obtaining lithograph by photographic process. The process is as follows common litho graph stone is obtained, upon which is poured a solu tion of bitumen in sulphuric ether. The ether evapo rates, and leaves upon the stone a thin delicate coating of bitumen. The stone then exhibits a blackish surface like a plate for etching. A negative picture is then taken upon glass or wax paper. This is applied in the ordi nary manner to the lithographic stone, prepared with a coating of bitumen, and placed in the light of the sun. It gives a communication faintly displayed on the bitu men ; the negative is removed, and the stone is placed in a bath of ether. The ether dissolves the whole of the bitumen not acted upon by the light, and then a picture is produced in the undissolved, bitumen. The stone may then be given to the printer. Professor Ramsay received the thanks of the section.l Mr. BARNET read a pAper on photographic researches. SECTION C.-GEOLOGY. Sir B. I. MURCHISON presiding. Mr. J.'W. DAWSON, of Nova Scotia, gave a lecture on the Fossils of the Coal Formation of Nova Scotia, illus trated by a large collection of specimens. Mr. SLIMHOND presented specimens of new forms of crustacea from the district of Lesmahagow. Captain Sir E. BELCHER made some communications relative to fossils found on the Northern Expedition. Mr. EVAN HorNINC, F.E.S., made a communication on the Meridional and Symmetrical Structure of the Globe. Amongst other speculations, he raid that 9,000 years ago the site on which London now stands was in the torrid zone, and, according to perpetual changes in progress, the whole of England would be in the Arctic circle. (Laughter.) Mr. Hopkins's views were controverted by Professor Ramsay, Mr. David Page, and Professor Nichol. SECTION E. -GEOGII APHY AND ETHNOLOGY. A paper " On the Decyphering of Inscriptions on two seals found at Koyunjek," was read by the Rev. JOHN GEMMEL, M.A. lir. JULIUS OPPERT read a paper on "The Geogra phical and Historical Results of the French Scientific Expedition to Babylon." Professor RITZIUS, of Stockholm, gave a verbal de scription of the Celtic, Sclavic, and Aztec crania. He combatted the phrenological view that high skulls be tokened high intellect. He had gone into schools in this country, and uniformly observed, on looking round, that not more than one in a hundred could be found without the elongated skull and prominent occiput. The same thing was to be said of his native country Sweden. In reply to a question, the learned professor excused himself from pronouncing positively whether the long headed or round-headed skull represented the highest intellect. There had been many eminent men among the Poles and Bohemians who belonged to the round headed class ; but it might be admitted, on the whole, that tho larger proportion of great men had the elon gated skull. A brief paper by Lieut.-Col. BURTON, of the Bombay army, gave an account of a visit to Medina from Suez, by way of .1 ambo. Colonel SYKES read a paper drawn up by Adolphi Schlayintevat and his brother, two of the gentlemen employed on the magnetic survey of India, and giving a description of their exploration of the linnalayahs, in May and. June, 1555. Captain ALLEN, in the absence of Sir B. F. Outran, read a paper calling the attention of the association to the necessity of adopting Hartlepool pier and port as a harbour of refuge, in order to accommodate the increase of shipping on the east coast of England. Mr. 0. JOSEPH BOULT then read his paper on the im portance of periodical engineering surveys of tidal har bours, illustrated by a comparison of the surveys of the river Mersey. He pointed out the extent to which the sea had encroached upon the land at the mouth of the Mersey, the average yearly encroachment being about six yards, and showed the consequent necessity of re peated and minute surveys, for the purpose of discover ing where the sea encroached, and where deposits were laid down, with the view of preserving the harbours un deteriorated. Alter a protracted conversation on this subject, it was agreed to re-appoint the Mersey Inquiry Committee, with the addition of Sir Philip Egerton, and to recom mend the Association's Committee of Recommendations to make a grant of 1001. towards the expenses of the committee. SECTION F.—STATISTICS. MONCKTON MILNEs, Esq., presided. SECTION G.—MECHANICAL SECTION. Mr. J. MACQUORN RANKINE read a paper on the ope ration of the Patent Laws, in which he pointed out seve ral defects. Mr. FAIRBURN said at least the cost for a patent should be no more than 51. Mr. T. WEBSTER argued that it would be wrong to make patents much cheaper than they are, as it would throw a large temptation in the way of foolish persons to protect all manner of absurdities. The question of invention is one of brains against money. Manufac turers do not and cannot afford to encourage inventions, from having almost always so much capital invested in such machinery as they presently require, and conse quently aro unwilling to throw away what they have, merely for the chance benefit which a new invention might afford. Sir D. BREWSTER argued that patents should not only be given for nothing, but that Government should give a bounty to any invention, however frivolous, and this ❑ot for the benefit of the patentees alone, but also on account of the public. Mr. BATEMAN took up the question in opposition to Sir D. Brewster, in as far as giving patents for every in vention was concerned, but thought a bounty should be given to useful inventions. A gentleman in the audience asked the definition of a useful invention. Dr. ROBINSON, of Armagh, said that if there be any such thing m property, it is clearly that which is the offspring of a man's own intellect, and a great moral wrong was perpetrated if the price of patents were one farthing more than sufficient to cover all law expenses. The Earl of HARROWBY disapproved of bounties, and thought Government ought not to be entrusted with the right of deciding on the utility or inutility of inventions. Mr. WARD read a paper by W. Bridges Adams, C.E., iu which he gave a description of various kinds of pro jectiles. In giving his idea of the best form of a ball, Mr. Adams thought that the conical form, with feathers, was the best, which is exactly that Mr. Kennedy, of Kilmarnock, has lately patented, and which has been ex perimented upon lately at Ardrossan and Troon. The idea of an elongated ball, which should also be charged like a bomb, has also been anticipated by Mr. Kennedy. \Voided guns, united by hydrostatic pressure—the coat ing inside with another metal to prevent abrasion, and several other improvements, which have in part been adopted by inventors, were also recommended. Dr. ROBINSON opened the discussion, and was of opinion that feathers upon a ball was a mistaken idea, because the ball carries with it a portion of air, and that rotation could not be ilecured to the ball by feathers alone, as they could not act but on the body of air which they carried with them. Rifled guns are more liable to burst, because the force necessary to explode a ball from such a piece of ordnance is greater than that required for a plain bored gun ; and also that a rifled gun is much more liable to burst or be rendered useless from frequent discharges, because of the force necessary to cause rota tion having to be added t o that which causes projection Dr Robinson then alluded to the bronze guns of the Deidarellto, which are cf three feet bore, coed ogiguit our fleets not many years since, and which were made by Ma hornet 11., and asked whether bronze might not now be used instead of cast iron. He then suggested the probe, bility that on experiment railway iron might be found better than cast iron for ordnance. Mr. \Var. FAIRBAIRN said the material of which guns are now made is inferior to that used 50 years ago, and added that from a recent examination of welded guns, which he said were torn asunder as though they ha' been made of paper, he was doubtful whether guns so made would ever serve any useful purpose. Guns made of welded staves were always liable to tear by the action of the discharges. . Solid cast guns cool irregularly, and when the gun is bored the metal is more porous in the centre than on the outside. The Americans, to obviate this, cast their guns with a core through which a stream of cold water is carried, which makes them cool regularly ;. but he did not consider their mode any improvement. He thought that the guns at present used were too short, and that by being a foot or more longer an economy of powder would result, while the range and aim would be better. He thought the shape of guns was at present faulty. They are thirk at the breech, and the walls are cast of equal thicknes , *.hrough their whole length ; and he was inclined to think an im provement would be found if the muzzle were thinned and the breech thickened. One great evil at present was the faulty character of the iron used for ordnance. The Turkish guns which be had examined were cast of gun metal, and did admirably. The Russian guns were better than ours, and yet the most of them were cast in this country ; therefore the subject should be carefully examined. Dr. ROBINSON asked whether it might not be possible to make guns of bronze, with a lining of iron or steel ? Mr. FAIIPBAIRIT thought all guns made of pieces, and of any mixed metals, would prove failures, because of the frequent heatings they would have to undergo in the process of manufacture. He thought that steel guns, examples of which are in the Exhibition of Paris, might be found very useful, if not for guns of large size, at least for field pieces and others of small calibre. In reniy to Mr. G. W. MUIR, A GENTLEMAN stated that the Messrs. Downie, of Woodside Foundry, had lately made a casting for hydros tatic purposes, which was made of malleable iron, with a coating of cast iron, which was capable of bearing a great pressure. He said that a gun had been made on the same principle, but it had not yet been tried. Dr. ROBINSON and Mr. FAIRBAIRN were much inte rested with this fact, and on inquiring what pressure the casting had been tried with, were informed that it had stood a pressure of 5,000 pounds. They concurred in the idea that the gun should be tested as soon as pos sible, for valuable information on the subject might be elicited. MEXICO AFTER THE ABDICATION. General Carrera, is appointed Provisional Presi dent of Mexico. The intentions of Alvarez and Cornonfort are not yet known. The provinces have been invited to pronounce. Santa Anna, after escaping to Havannah, proceeded to Caraccas. The .Nctv York Journal of Commerce reniark,s The more detailed intelligence of events at the Mexi can capital consequent upon the abdication and flight of Santa Anna shows that the provisional government was acquiesced in for the moment, only as an alternative preferable to the anarchy which would have ensued upon an interregnum attended with a cessation of the exercise of all restrictive and protective functions of the civil power. It is represented as not acceptable to the liberals, and it seems to have acknowledged its own in stability and tenure of sufferance, by summoning the commanders of the liberating forces to the capital to consult in respect to the constitution of a permanent government, instead of preparing to maintain its own authority against the claims of the expected chieftains. In requesting the generals to leave behind them their followers, it may have sought to avert from the proposed settlement of affairs the preponderating influence of military dictation, and so to secure for itself a more po tent voice in shaping the result. But no effective oppo sition could be directed against the establishment of a Lberal government, under the auspices and administra tion of the leaders who have forced Santa Anna into exile. (Front the New Orleans Picayune, A irg. 26.) The steam-ship Or;zaba, Capt3in Forbes, arrived this morning from Vera Cruz, which pore she left on the 22 , 1 inst. It appears that Santa Anna left the city of Mexico on the 9th instant et the head of 1,400 men, under the pre text of quelling the revolution in the State of Vera Cruz. On arriving at the fortress of Perote he threw off the mask awl unveiled his real design. He there issued a proclamation, depositing the government in the hands of Pavoni, Vega, and Sala', aniiiimmediately departed with all speed to Vera Cruz. His last day's march was from Puente by circuitous routes '(say 14 leagues), and he arrived in Vera Cruz on the night of the 14th inst. On the day after his arrival Santa Anna endeavoured to go on board the Mexican war steamer Iturbide, but being prevented by the state of the weather, he em barked on the night of the 17th, and, with his family, it is supposed, proceeded to Havannali„ In the meantime all Santa Anna's Ministers at the City of Mexico took French leave, and Gen. Carrera, at the head of the only troops left in the city, say 700 men, pronounced fcr the plan of 4 Ayuntla, naming Carrera President pr•o tem., and Vega Commander-in-Chief of the troops. Ia Vera Cruz, on the night of the 18th, part of the regiment of Tres Viejas pronounced and killed one of their officers, and then left the city over the walls to join La Liave who was in the vicinity. Next morning remainder of the regiment, say 200 men, were marched out of the city by order of General Corona, to prevent further disturbance. On the same day, Sunday, the 19th, the city of Vera Cruz and the troops pro nounced in favour of the plan of Ayuntla, Governor Corona still retaining the command, waiting for orders from the Provisional Government. On the 20th all was quiet in Vera Cruz, and no fur ther disturbance was looked for till the 22d, the day La Llave was expected to enter the city with his pronun ciados, to which serious objections were raised, as his troops, it was feared, might create disorder. On the night of the 21st, however, at half-past seven o'clock, a . disturbance occurred among the troops. The Regiments q of Guides and the 2d were ordered out, and several shots were fired. The pronounced troops i❑ Fort Conception Ix fired the cannon loaded with grape, and several of the 1 fie Guides were killed. The Guides then took the fort by assault, and which all became quiet, and remained so at until the sailing of the Orizaba. sii Since the foregoing was written, we learn that Carrera si was appointed Provisional President for six months. id A quarrel for the Presidency, it is said, is likely to ensue. The pleasure of Alvarez and Cumonfort is not w known, and they will have a say in the matter. Below we give an extract from a letter received per ro, f Orizaba, by a commercial firm in this city from one in la Vera Cruz, with which we have been favoured. st "Important changes in political affairs have taken et place since we last addressed you. Santa Anna has fled ti the country, having embarked on board of a Mexican war steamer with hie family, on the 18th inst. Her des tination was not made known, but it is supposed he has gone to Havannah for the present. A new Government is about being :rormed whose views as to commerce in general are stated to be very liberal, so that we may soon expect to have a new tariff and the export duty lowered." On the evening of the 15th the new Government sent, under General Vega, expresses to the various governors of the deparmenia or states, requesting them to pro nounce, and at the satne time they sent to the comman ders of the liberal forces to inform them that everything had been regulated according to their views, and to re quest them to conic to the capital alone, leaving their forces behind them, for the purpose of electing officers and arranging the Government. The liberal party, however, were not satisfied, and sent on to the com manders, telling them to bring their forces, and that they woull then be able to carry out their plans. The new Government was, in fact, composed of a large proportion of the members of the last one, and closely united with the church, for which reason the liberals could not adopt it. D. Luis de la Rosa, late Mexican Minister in Wash ington, has been appointed Governor of Puebla, to the great satisfaction of the liberals. The correspondent of the Charleston Courier writes : " MEXICO, Aug. 19.—The tyrant has abdicated. On the 9th inst. Santa Anna commenced his retreat, 'under the cover of an ultima Nora, of a Ministerio de Guber. nacion. " Atl o'clock on the 13th, there began to be a gather ing in the Alameda, the beginning of a revolution. Pre. viously there were some 60 state prisoners released, who had been arrested for suspected civil offences, in de murring to the faculties of the supreme government, or for having written or spoken disrespectfully of his serene highness. As was to be anticipated, many of these were the orators of the occasion. " The closing orator, after the lamentations of a feel ing subject, reciting outrages on his person in confine ment, even to handcuffs a nd fetters, exclaimed, 'Let us go to the palace to demand the arms of the National Guards,' who had bee n disarmed by Santa nna, to protect the republic. Stop, says a voice echoed from every quarter, 'We must sign the Pronunciamento first for the plan of Ayulta.' This ceremony complied with by some 12 or 15 individuals soon prepared the masses for a movement. " San Francisco, the leading avenue to the palace, was thronged with the animated masses, silently advane ing on the palace. The doors were closed, with a guard in front. A volley of blank cartridges, and the explosion of a piece of artill&y, was a sufficient answer to th e d e . mand. From thence their belligerency was dir ec t e d to Madame Tostas , t he mother of Dolores Santa an d in succession to the Min i sters of the State and Anna two of the bankers , s u pp osed to be asso ciated with them in all their pr em i ses re conflagration. t w h e e re public spoiled, plu a n n d d er m . ad the, e The in fu te e i l io o r of of stet "The next day the army pronounced " for the plan of Ayulta, and the usual farce of makinga provisional pre jsuidnetnat, was n a G s penasesreaal through, order the authority of a was restored, and, by a seeming acquiescence in Liberals, it has the people, or leaders of the et; preeertfd. Carrara attfenspto no. SEBASTOPOL. The Nord, the Russian organ published at Brus sels, has the following artier() on the fall of Seban- topol " Facts of great importance have just taken place in the Crimea. "We have as yet but few indications whereby to appreciate their significance. A rational general view of them, however, suffices to show us that, de spite the eclat which the recent deeds of arms have thrown upon the French army, the triumph of the allied armies is more apparent than real, and that, comparing the state of things before and after the 9th of September, it must be acknowledged that it appears to be modified in the inverse ratio of vic tory, that is to say, to the advantage of the Russian army. " - And, first, let it be said that the result of the Bth of September has exceeded the expectations ; nay, that it, so to say, cheated the hopes of the commanders of the allies. " In fact, if we recall to'mind the tenour of the Emperor IN apoleon's letter to General Pelissier, as well as the expressions in the telegraphic despatch from that General after the occupation of the forti fications of the Korniloff bastion, it will be seen that the allied Powers counted on a defence, foot by foot, of the south part of the town, and founded all their provisions on the tenacity of that resist ance. " The obstinacy of the Russian army was turned to their advantage. Decimated by the more and concentrated fire of a formidable artillery, that army .would been used up in defending the heap of ruins pr3sented by the south of Sebastopol. " The fall of the place, therefore, if retarded, must have come at last. But under the above cir- cum stances it carried with it the loss of the army. "Nothing is more natural than that the allied generals should have desired such a result ; but tlae Russian Commander-in-Chief has known how to foil their calculations. " Determined to attempt everything to prevent the fall of Sebastopol, he doubtless made the diver sion at Tratkir ; he displayed the greatest vigour in repelling the assault ; but, meantime, he had prepared everything so as to be able at a moment's notice to carry out the resolution he had taken to pass to the north side and concentrate his troops there. "The bridge thrown over the bay, the activity displayed in fortifying the north side, the convey ance thither of a portion of the materiel ; finally, the promptitude and order with which the transit was made, prove that the plan had long been pre pared!and matured. " It was a serious responsibility which the Rus sian Commander-in-Chief assumed in the teeth of publi, to gil was fi it WklE an it striki: 4, other stroy( wave; opinion in Bussia, ; but all his scruples had way to imperious considerations. )rtainly, whoa Sebastopol was attacked, it it Russia to defend it to the utmost. was the centre of valuable establishments ; the cradle of her navy.

Now, the defence of this principle ought not to remain concentrated around a heap of stones : it could only be continued by a rational disposal of resistance. "'his result was obtained by the concentration effected on the 9th of September of all the Russian force on the north side, with the right resting ou formidable fortifications erected there, its left on the Nfackenzie ravines. The Russian army keeps that pf the allies hemmed in on the plateau of Balaklava and Sebastopol. It may thus await the undektaking of the allies in a stronger, more im posilg,, and more reassured manner than before. ty this manoeuvre Prince Gortschakoff has doubled the strength of his army in a strategic point of view because, conc en t ra t e d, it h as ac ir4d. a complete freedom of movement ; in a tac. :all point of view, by the advantage of position pallid the range of siege pieces, and where its Id artillery assures conditions of superiority. "We repeat it then—by the events of the Bth Ldtth of September the final p os iti on o f th e Rus in army on the theatre of war in the Crimea has minified itself to its advantage.

The telegraphic commu nications between them during the siege were of a very amusing character. On one occasion, Pelissier, being a I,ttle teased, answered " To m'embCtcs." The Emperor was very anxious that something should be undertaken on the 18th of June,':and Le Valliant telegraphed to that effect. Pelissier answered, " Impossible I" The reply was " L'Empercur dit qu'il n'y a ricn d'im p ossible. " Pelissier rejoined, " Qu'il ricnne done le faire lui-meme.' 1 The Emperor laughed heartily at the reply. The French Government is certainly fortunate in the possession of A genk.al of so determined a spirit.— United Service Ga:etc. FORCED WIT IN RIISSIA.—The Augsburg Gazette bas the following from St. Petersburg, under date of Aug. wl 21 :—" The fine weat her is comin g to a clo se, and all theu c k field a f e o w i the efforts of musicians and pyrotechnists can scarcely induce the frosty p ublic of this cit y to v isit Vauxhall and the Villa Borgh ese.

THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL. — Considering the very general and intense anxiety to learn more full details of the fall of Sebastopol than can possibly be conveyed by the short paragraphs of the electric telegraph, it may be as well to state that the written despatches of General Simpson left Balaklava on the 11th inst. in a ship of war specially detached for the purpose, in charge of one of the aides-de-camp of the Commander-in-Chief. This veesei, being under no obligation to call at other ports, will proceed direct to Marseilles, and will anticipate the regular mail by about two days. The despatches ray, therefore, be expected by Friday or Saturday next. In the meantime, any hour may bring telegraphic announce ments of subsequent events of importance. It is pro bable that the promotions consequent upon the victory and the day of national thanksgiving and gratitude to the Giver of all Good may be deferred until the authentic and official actount of the Tictory Ehall be receired.7 Oivrver , • ,
