GOSSIP ABOUT GOODWOOD. The country markets held on Saturday were for the most part but moderately supplied with wheat, yet all kinds moved off slowly, at a decline of from is to 2s p( r quarter. Barley was heavy and cheaper. All other grain met a dull inquiry. The near continental markets continue dull, yet very little change has of late taken place in prices. Advices from New York state that both wheat and flour were drooping. Very moderate supplies of English grain came to band last week. From abroad we received 10,207 quarters of wheat, 3,819 barley, 23,843 oats, 600 beaus, 1,225 pe:,s, 101 tares, 6,602 linseed, 749 rapeseed, 1,275 sundry seeds, 2,966 sacks, and 100 barrels of flour. Fresh up to-day the arrivals of English wheat from Essex and Kent were very moderate ; but about 3,000 quarters left over from Friday were in the market ; hence the show of samples was by no moans small. Owing to the limited number of buyers in attendance, the commencement of harvest work in various forward districts, and the increase in the granaried stocks of foreign, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled excessively, heav v, at a decline in the quotations obtained on Monday last of from 2s to 3s per quarter. We were well supplied with foreign wheat in good con dition. So few transactions took place that the quotations were almost nominal. To have effected sales, a decline of fully 2s per quarter must have been submitted to. There was scarcely any demand for floating cargoes of grain, the arrivals of which continue moderate. We had a moderate show of barley, all kinds sold heavily, and the currencies gave way, compared with Mon day last is per quarter. The malt trade ruled dull, but no actual change took place in prices. Good oats realised full prices, but damp parcels gave way cd. per quarter. Both beans and peas sold slowly, and in some instances the rates had a downward tendency. The flour trade was very dull, and country marks were 2s. per 2801bs. cheaper. When Turf authoritie , agree their unanimity is won derful. Two or three years ago one and all were la menting the departing glories of Goodwood, and pro phetically fixing the time when the Graaf] Stand and the magnificent course would be turned from their pre sent use. Like the celebrated traveller from New Zealand, who, Mr. Macaulay informs us, will one day take his seat on a broken arch of London Bridge to sketch the ruins of St. Paul's, it has been predicted that the coining Torfite will sit a ruin amid ruins, on the summit of the Trundle Hill, and tracs out, through tangled fern and bushwood, the arena of many stirring encounters, and weep over the broken columns and fallen walls of the once Grand Stand, where were wont to congregate the beauty and the chivalry of the country. These dismal anticipations are, howevrr, not likely to be realised within the pre sent generation, and sporting writers are, therefore, now eagerly bearing testimony to what they call the sustained popularity and undiminished prosperity of the glorious Goodwood meeting. The facts by which they back their assertions are patent and indisputable, and to adduce any additional evidence in support of their statements would be merely piling Pelion on Ossa. The Duke of Richmond has expressed a hope that he may long receive his friends at Goodwood, a hope whieh is shared in common by every sporting man. Certain racing incidents which marked the proceedings have an enduring importance. The mania which existed about a year or two ago for giving extravagantly high prices for yearlings is not likely to be revived. Scarcely one of the " dear purchases" have answered the sanguine expectations which were formed of them, and the way in which they have turned out would indicate that they had been fattened and tel on oilcake on purpose fur sale. Voivode, who was bought by Mr. J. Merry for the ab surdly high price of one thousand and ten guineas, made his debut on Tuesday, and proved au utter beast with out the shadow of racing merit. He is a confirmed roarer, and is not worth a twentieth part of the money that was given for him. The signal defeat of Fly-by nieht for the Ham Stakes created a sensation. He was reported a " little off," but his backers did not for an instant doubt his ability to achieve success. He was, however, unmistakeably beaten, and Alfred Day gave him too such " galvanisers" with his whip as disturbed the echoes of the place. Mary Copp, who was recently purchased from Lord Eglin ton, by J. M. Stanley, Esq., won easily. She repeated her success on the following day, and by her two victories it is said that her owner cleared the amount which he paid for her and the entire stud of the Lord of the Tournament. Lord Eglinton, if he have any love of racing, must regret parting with so valuable an animal. Despite his many triumph•, however, he was always a faint-hearted sportsman, and he doubtless repents his want of pluck. Mat Dawson was not a little rejoiced in winning the Steward's Cup for Lord John Scott with Clotilde. The success of Quince for the Goodwood Stakes proved the misguiding teudoncy of his running at Newmarket and Ascot. Surgeon-General " cut up" an utter brute, Ivan was incapable of stay ing, and Epaminondas's running was regarded with suspicion. The doubts which were created with respect to Epaminondas had their rise in the many rumours which were circulated about him, and the assertion which was 'made with respect to his owner not being "on." The scratching of Homily certainly afforded another argument in favour of the abolition of p. p. betting. It admits of no extenuation, for the mare was well and perfectly fit to run, and the cause of her withdrawal can only be traced to a money getting motive. When gentlemen, play such fantastic tricks with their horses, no wonder that their example is followed to a ruinous extent, and to the destruction of the sport. Such a Homily is not likely to be soon for gotten by sporting men. Goorkah was struck out be cause his owner could not get on at the price lie wished. Although, however, I acknowledge Mr. Barber's tact and ability, yet I am compelled to confess that if he really desired to back his horse he went somewhat clumsily to work. His repeated offers to take 30 or to lay 25 to 1 were simply preposterous. Did he really imagine that anybody would lay him 30 to 1 against Goorkah when it was well known that not a dozen starters would go to the post ? Hervine's running was not a little surprising to those who were informed that early in the year she had dropped a foal to Caravan. I shall not attempt to explain the opposition which set in against Oulston on the Wednesday, and which was sustained in certain quarters down to the hours of start ing. They who pronounced him a roarer would find it difficult to state their reasons for forming such an opinion. After the Cup race he pulled up sound in wind and limb. It is no exaggeration to state that Baron cino " won all the way." Homily made running for him, and Fordhatn was frequently compelled to shout out to Crouch, who was riding her to make the pace stronger. Lord of the Isles was, I fancy, only started to get a line with Oulston. The conditions of the Cup are about to be revised, and the allowances to foreign horses are to be materially reduced. The absurdity and injustice of making English horses concede 221 b. to French horses that ate by English sires, and have all the benefits of an English training, are too ob vious and too widely acknowledged to require indication. Baron Rothschild and party won an immense stake, whilst Mr. El wes, the owner of Oulston, was judicious enough to couple the " foreigner "in his investments. The Nursery Stakes proved a " good thing " for La Victime, who was the favourite at Goodwood. Elfrida, however, was an im mense " pot " in London. The Chesterfield Cup was carried off by Pumicestone, who, strange to say, found few supporters in the ring. Brother to Grey Tommy, the favourite, got badly off. Instructress won the Nas sau Stakes in a style which caused not a little grumbling among those who had backed her for the Goodwood Stakes, and who found themselves "put in the hole " by her withdrawal. Verily, the good easy public will, for the future, be cautious how they deal with Mr. Magen nis's horses. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL. MEASURE.

ARMY IN THE CRIMEA To-morrow I will collectsome "Bits about Brighton." August 6. A FRESH MAN. K.A.AIARA, JULY 24. Omer Pasha Las not -cet returned from Constan tinople, and the idea is more and more „Gaining ground that he will not again return to the Crimea,. But, nevertheless, he is expected back by the soldiers with great anxiety. When he left he made a kind of address to the soldiers, in which he told them that he was going away for a short time, but that he would be back soon. The soldiers, in that free and off-hand way which characterises the intercourse of high and low in the East, if there is not some dirty interest in question, uxclaimed--" Come back soon, or else we will go off too." The poor fellows did not reflect in the excitement of tie moment that the Crimea is for us an island, and that in our scep tical age the genii disdain, even in the East, to build bridges over 150 miles of sea, or to carry an :army of true believers through the air. Fortu nately, the Turkish army is a school of patience, and so every one is waiting quietly the decision of his fate. MR. W. S. LINDSAY AND 711 E REPRESENTA- Yesterday the news arrived that Omer Pasha had landed in Kamiesh, and horses were accord ingly sent down to meet him ; but they returned in the evening. The whole had been a mistake ; it was Abdi Pashi, the same who commanded last year in Epirus and Thessaly, and who is daily ex pected here, who had arrived. In the rear—for since all idea of an advance on this side has been given up we again form the rear— there is nothing new, except that some English light cavalry had been sent down to the Yale of Baidar. They arc detachments of the 4th Light Dragoons, the Bth and 11th Hussars, and the 17th Lancers, and they have occupied an open place alongside an old Tartar cemetery, near the Woronzow-road, where this latter begins to ascend towards the sea. A little beyond the old cemetery there are some curious old graves, very likely the burial places of Tartar chiefs. They are of the most primitive construction, and closely resemble those found in the mounds in the neighbourhood of Eupatoria, with the only difference that these latter were imbedded in the mounds, while those at Baidar are above•ground. Both are formed of four roughly-split limestone slabs without any polish or ornament, Three of these slabs enclose the g rave from north, east, and south, leaving it open to the west, while the fourth is placed on the others without any cement. Two of these graves are constructed on a kind of plat form, surrounded by smaller stones. All these graves are in a row, suggesting the idea of some family burialground. I asked several Tartars about them, but all they knew was that they were very old, a piece of information which we may' gather at first sight, without claiming any unusual penetration. The French have moved on to Tchouliou, near the bridge leading over the Tchernaya. Here this latter river forms our boundary. It is occupied in its whole length from the spot where it comes out of its native mountains, near the village of Skelir, down to Inkerman. The only exception forms that part of it where, leaving the Valley of Baidar, it runs through a precipitous narrow gorge, which defends itself, being only, and that with considerable difficulty, accessible to pedestrians down to Tchorgoun, where it leaves this gorge. Our outposts were, until lately, everywhere on the opposite bank of the river ; but a slight change occurred a few days ago in this respect. . The Russians had, for sonic time past, been seen working on the road leading up to Mackenzie's Farm. In the beginning it looked as if they were fortifying, but it soon became clear that, on the con trary, they were repairing the road, where it had been cut up, in order to make it inaccessible to any advancing force. Lately they have come clown and repaired likewise the battery which commands the ascent of the road, and which has been destroyed by the French on the occasion of their advance to the Tchernaya. In conseriftence of this movement of, the Russians the French outposts retired over the bridge of Traktir. All this looks as if the Russians had some inten tions to attack us, instead of waiting for our ad, vance. Perhaps they are tired of waiting, which would not be at all surprising ; although, on the other hand, it seems scarcely credible that they, who hitherto knew so well where their advantage lay should be carried away all of a sudden by an untimely warlike ardour. However, as you say in one of your latest numbers which have reached us, " War is a tragedy of errors, and we must hope that all the blunders will not be on one side." According to all accounts, a great deal of sicknesS prevails among the Russians. In one of my rambles in the neighbourhood of Baidar I found in a solitary country house on the seashore, which had been lately deserted by its inmates, several letters from Simpheropol of a recent date—the be ginning of June—which were strewed about in the rooms, and all of them speak of a fearful morta lity. As they were private letters, and left behind in the hurry of a sudden departure,: there can be no doubt about their veracity. The Tartars pretend that it is the plague, and that several cases of it occurred likewise in the Tartar villages, infected by the presence of the Rus sian troops. It must be a virulent kind of fever which, like the epidemic last winter among the Turks at Balaklava, is called plague by the Tartars, for the plague season is over. In Egypt and Syria, after the middle of June no case of plague ever occurs. However, if the accounts of the virulence of this epidemic are. true, .it answers just as well as plague for reducing the Russian TION OF TYNEMOUTH. forces. On the night of Sunday or Monday we had some heavy firing in front. According to the accounts which have reached us, the French were ,vigoronsly attacked by the Russians in the Mamelon works, but repulsed the attack. The Highlanders are spoken of as having taken a considerable part in repelling the Russians. It seems as if the Crimean summer heat, which everybody has hitherto been expecting with such dread, has set in at last. For several days we had 98 degrees in the shade, notwithstanding all possible contrivances used to establfsh a current of air, and thus to mitigate the heat of the sun. As usual in hot climates, the mornings, up to 11 o'clock, are the most oppressive ; about noon the sea breeze springs up and moderates somewhat the heat of the tem perature. The nights afford scarcely any relief ; except the sudden chill which accompanies the sunset and sunrise, and brings down the thermo meter by 10 or 15 degrees in a few minutes, there is scarcely any difference between day and night. The consequence is a nearly uninterrupted Rus sian bath, with a very moderate allowance of water for an occasional douche. We have, indeed, the whole sea before us, but the descent to and the ascent from it over the steep cliffs more than counterbalance any advantage to be derived from it. The springs and wells in the neighbourhood are very scanty, considering the number of men who expect to be supplied by them. They are be sieged from morning to night much closer, than. Sebastopol, and in greater danger to be soon re duced ; for, besides the Turks, there are numbers of French and Sardinian fatigue parties cutting brushwood for gabions and fascines, who refresh themselves on their way to and fro. TYNEMOUTII, SATURDAY NIGHT. Captain Linskill, cousin to Mr. R. W. Grey, M.P , the latter gentleman being private secretary to Lord Palmerston previous to his election for Liskeard, having announced his intention to contest this borough at the next election in the somewhat uncertain character of a Liberal Conservative, Mr. Lindsay has issued an ad dress to the electors. With regard to the motives in- ducing Captain Linskill to contest the borough with him, he says : " Considering that there is not likely to be a general election before next session, I should think, to say the least of it, that gentleman's address has been somewhat premature ; as there is, however, a great deal behind the scene—far more than I can tell you in a letter—l will postpone what I have to say till I have the pleasure of seeing you when the business of this session is over. Till then, I ask you (and in common justice I feel you will grant my request) to withhold your pledges to one who has hitherto made professions of friendship, but who now appears as my opponent, should be adopt the unusual course of personally waiting upon you to invite votes, long before there is any prospect of an election. I will then ask from you, in public, a continuation of that support as your representative which I am sure the majority of all sections will readily grant, when they hear from my own lips a full explanation of my conduct as a public man ; and more especially when I tell them the extraordinary way in which I have been dealt with." There is a rumonr that Mr. Hugh Taylor, of the London Coal Exchange, who it will be remembered was unseated by a committee of the House of Commons for treating, will be brought forward by the Tories to con• test the borough. The Southampton Dock Company have given orders for the construction of a flight of steps for the especial use of her Majesty's landing and embarking at the docks. The first order issued by Sir B. Hall, after his accept. ance of the office of President of the Board of Public Works, directs that 200 new seats shall be placed in the public promenades of the Regent's-park, and he ha given orders for the throning open of Kew-gardens to the public during the whole of Sundays. LIVERPOOL, AUG. 4.—SAILING- OF THE AMERICA.— The royal mail steam-ship America, Capt. Lang, from Liverpool for Boston, sailed this afternoon, at a quarter past two o'clock, with a full cargo, the usual mails, and 186 passengers. THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, Saturday.—The Penin sular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Indus, Captain Soy, left this day with the East India and China mail, 48 passengers, and a full general cargo. Amongst the passengers were Colonel Adams, L;eGt.-Colonel Anstru ther, &c. The Indus takes out the following amount in specie :—For Irdia and China, 396,290/. ; for Alexan dria, 25,400/. ; total, 421,6901. The Sultan, with the heavy portion of the East India and China mail, is ex pected to-morrow. THE AMERICAN AND AUSTRALIAN MAIM—LIVER POOL, Satu' day.—The British and North American Royal mail steam-ship America, Captain W. J. C. Lang, .sailed from the Mersey this afternoon for Boston and Hali fax, with the usual weekly mails, 186 passengers, and a valuable cargo of merchandise on board. Amongst her passengers were Mr. J. B. Gough, the celebrated tem perance orator (who was escorted to the tender by a large concourse of friends, and loudly cheered on his de parture), and Mr. George Vandenhoff (son of the cele brated tragedian). The royal mail clipper ship James Baines cleared to-day and sails to-morrow forenoon fur Melbourne, with the fortnightly mails, 450 passengers, and a full cargo, a large amount of freight being left be hind. AUSTRALIA.-7 'he novices from Australia to-day are dated Sydney the 12th of May, being nearly a fortnight later than those previously received. According to a circular from Messrs. Prost, Kohler, and Co., business was steadily improving , and the prices of several imported ahratfficleexP including most k i nds of provisions and spirit . , experienced a rise. 'Tonnage was less scarce. The delay of communication was much complained of, the February mail from England being still due. Immigra tion from New York was setting in, a considerable num ber of persons having recently arrived by the Tropic. The latest departures from Sydney bad been the Duke of Northumberland on the 20th of April, with 1,712 ounces of gold. and the Laly Wharncliffe on the sth of May with 1,634 ounces. The accounts from Port Philip were to the Bth of May, and the produce of the goldfields was very satisfactory. CRYSTAL PALACE.--FIVE SHILLING DAY.—August 4. —Admissions on payment, 473 ; ditto by season tickets, 2,367.—T0ta1, 2,840. ACCIDENT ON THE MERSEY.—LIVERPOOL, Friday.— The iron barque Retriever, while being towed from the Sandon to the Prince's Dock, and when in the act of turning round opposite the Birkenhead pier, was caught 'twixt wind and tide, anl being without ballast capsized. A. number of steamers at once went to her assistance, and succeeded in taking off all parties on board, several o f w hom had received contusions from the shock. The unfortunate barque sank in about fifteen minutes after capsizing. THE LAUNCH OF THE MARLROROITGH.--By special command of her Majesty, Mr. T. R. Williams, of Regent-street, was commissioned to take a series of stereoscopic views of the launch of the Marlborough. Having been favoured with an opportunity of examin ing the results, we emphatically declare them to be the most successful instantaneous photographs that we have yet seen. The operations, indeed, must have been literally as quick as lightning, for the surf, which crested the waves, the spray thrown from the paddle. wheels of the steamers, the rowers in the craft which studded the water, the puffs of vapour from the steam funnels, and the balls of cloud from the guns of the Illus trious, are indicated with a sharpness and individuality of detail that might fairly have been thought impossible. The beauty, indeed, of these views is unsurpassable, considered simply as photographic efforts, without reference to the disturbing conditions to the operator of the entire scene and its accessories being more or less in motion. With such photographic issues as these before our eyes, it is evident that future generations will not be without pictorial records of historical events of the highest interest and importance, however evanescent may be their practical existence. TFIE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EvENING AUGUST 6 1855. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. About average supplies of foreign stock came to hand last week—the total supply amounting to 8,696 head.

There was an increased arrival of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts, compared with Monday last, but the general condition of the supply was inferior. Al though the attendance of buyers was tolerably good, the trade ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per Sibs, and a clearance was, with difficulty, effected. The highest price for Scots was 5s 2.1 per Sibs. From Lin colnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire wo re ceived 1,100 short-horns ; from the Eastern districts, 810 Scots and short-horns ; from other parts of England, 350 of various kinds ; and from Scotland, 200 polled Scots. For the time of year we were very moderately supplied with sheep, at least two kinds of which were of inferior quality. Prime Downs and half-breds sold steadily, at full prices ; all other breeds moved off sl owl y , at barel y late rates. We had a moderate demand for lambs, the supply of which was by no means extensive, at last week's currency, viz., 4s Si to 6s per 81bs. Prime small calves sold steadily, at an advance of 2d per Blbs ; other kinds of veal were tolerably firm, at full prices. Pigs changed hands to a fair extent on former terms.

AUSTRALIAN EMIGRATION.—The number of sailings from Liverpool to Australian ports during the past month has been 12 shire, carrying 2,223 passengers, of whom 429 went out in Government vessels. The Royal Mail sailing-vessel James Baines, belougicg to the Black Ball line of clapper-shirr, sailed yesterday (Sunday) at noon, with the bi-monthly mail, a large cargo, and 460 passengers. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITI7TIOX. Pressure of other matter has prevented us from notic ing the very popular and pleasing novelties introduced at this institution under the auspices of the indefatigable manager, J. H. Pepper, Esq. In addition to musical entertainments Dr. Rae-lectured a few days since on,:the , Arctic' regions, and on his Arctic journeys, with special reference to the probable fate of Sir John Franklin .and his party. His lecture commenced with Churchill's jour ney to the Copper Mine River in 1771, and he took an instructive glance at &1 succeeding travellers in sledge?, &c., down to the present period. The lecture being given in the theatre where the relics of the Arctic discoveries are placed added greatly to its effect. On collating all in &satiation which bas been obtained, Dr. Rae fixes 1850 as the year in which "the white men "died; and he stated that even Esquimaux sometimes die of starvation ; and that some years ago he lost several of his own party owing to the scarcity of food. Dr. Rae considers that, although the graves of Franklin's officers were found on Beechy Island, that yet Franklin proceeded westward of 13arrow Strait. He- thinks that the vessels were lost at the north-west end,of Peel Sound ; and, from drift wood having been found in Victoria Strait, that the party had proceeded southwards towards Black River ; and that, from the slight chance they had of meeting deer, Alley, in the absence of any means of support s died of starva tion. In reference to the present expedition, which is now on its way to explore the spot described by Esqui maux as the place where " the white men" are to be found, he ventures to hope their journals may be disco vered; for although the Esquimaux stated that many of their books had been destroyed, yet he believes, from the knowledge he has of the careful character of the Es quitnaux, that the books may yet be found hidden under stones, in accordance with the custom of Esquinsaux when they wish to conceal things. The experiments in illustration of the Russian iafers. nal machines are complete and very interesting,; and. we now' enjoy an exhibition of filthy Thames water taken from London, Hungerford, Vauxhall, and Richmond Bridges, as seen through a splendid oxy-hydrogen micro scope, abounding with horrible slimy worms called ordii. These are now the denizens of the once good bed of the River. Oh, shade ,ot Isaac Walton, where would now be thy piscatory delights 2 The salmon that graced the Thames, and others of a aninor tribe, are no longer hooked, but are foully murdered We pray that Faraday may find a bearing and a remedy for this state of things.. Our limited space forbids us to do more than to advise our friends to see these most in structive and pleasing novelties: We can enumerate many others. On Saturday evening Mr. Pepper invited a large party of scientific gentlemen and others to a. private inspection of a bar of the new metal Aluminium, which ' is made from clay or brick. This speoinien, which has excited a vast amount of interest in the scientific world, was graciously presented to Mr. Pepper by his Imperial Majesty the • Emperor of the French, and was obtained from the Emperor's private labo ratory. Mr. Pepper a,ddresaed a letter to his Impe rial Majesty, expressing the wish that he would favour. the. Polytechnic Institution with a specimen. and on Thursday last it was received through the French Embassy. The bar is considered a magnificent speci men, and was produced under the scientific process of M. IL St. Claire Deville. The fiat specimens which were produced of this metal were very small : then they attained the size of the top of the finger. The- nature of the material was first discovered by Sir Humphrey Davy, in the year 1-08, when it was assumed to be a metallic oxide ; but it could not then be obtainel in such quantities as to test its properties ; and, indeed, it re mained almost unnoticed until the subject was again brought before the scientific world in the year 1827 by the celebrated Swedish chemist, (Ersted, who endea voured to produce the metal in a detached form, by the employment pf chloride of aluminium ; and' about thirty years since Wohler, more successfully availing himself of the plan pursued by lErsted, succeeded in obtaining a few grains of the metal. At the Museum of Econo mic Ueology, in Jermyn-street, Dr. Percy laboured strenuously in endeavouring to obtain the metal in appreciable quantities from cryolite, a mineral which exists in considerable quantities in Greenland ; but the practical results fell considerably short of the theoretical amount. It has been reserved for M. St. Claire Deville to obtain aluminium in such a quantity as to be enabled to give to the world some of the qualities and peculiari ties of this very extraordinary metal ; whilst generousi.y acknowledging the efforts which were made by his pre decessors. Mr. Pepper in his introductory lecture de tailed at length the results of the various experiments which have been made by M. Deville, into which we will not, as non-practical chemists, attempt to follow him, but we may venture to give the following facts : —The specific gravities of platinum, the heaviest of all metals, is 20 . 98, gold 19 . 26, mercury 13'57, silver 10.47, iron 7 . 79, zinc 65. The new metal then (for such it may in effect be called) being 2 . 56, is about 1-Bth of the density of platinum, or 1-3 d that of iron. Its colour resembles that of silver, but possesses a some- . what bluish tinge when placed by the side of that metal, and it reflects the light with a clear and soft radi- ' ance. The aluminium is malleable and ductile almost without limit, may be beaten into the thinnest possible plate, or drawn out into the most attenuated of wires. When passed through the fingers it exhales a slight odour,. somewhat similar to that of iron. It conducts electricity in the most perfect manner, and is expected to prove a much better conductor of that fluid than any metal at present known. It melts at a temperature somewhat higher than that of zinc, 'to which metal, in' this respect, it approaches closer than silver. The,che mical properties of the metal would appear to be invalu able. M. Deville states it to be an unalterable metal, and places its position as intermediate between, the prey cious and the more common metals. It does not easily oxidise ; water has no perceptible action upon it at any temperature • roofs of houses might be made f ro m thi s material, and even sulphuretted hydrogen exercises no destructive power on its surface. Aluminium exists in a metallic state in almost every description of clay, earths, and rubies, sapphires, and topazes are but crystallised compounds or oxides of the metal. Having arrived at this point of his lecture Mr. Pepper stated that the eminent firm of Messrs. Hunt and Res kell, of Bond-street, with their characteristic kindness and love of science, had lent him a collection of those precious stones, which was valued at nearly 6,000/. ; it consisted of au Oriental topaz, valued at 2301. ; two rubies, one valued at 2,2001., and the other at 580/. ; three sapphires, 1,4001.; one ruby, 400/., and four small rubies, at 1,000/. Teese, when shown under as intense tight, dazzled the eye with their extreme brilliancy. By way of contrast there were placed upon the same table pieces of the apparently valueless clay in which in the most minute forms this beautiful metal is found. By the side of these substances was placed under a glass the bar of the beautiful white metal which chemical science had extracted from the shapeless lumps of clay ; and there were the glittering forms which nature in her own laboratory had bestowed upon the particles of that worthless dust and,clay which was trodden un• der and di-regarded by man. The cost at which the aluminium may be extracted from the earths, and the purposes to which it may be applied, whether far industrial or scientific purposes, yet remain to be trsited. Of thie, however, there can be no doubt, that a metal passessing the valuable qualities which are ascribed to it may be applied to many useful objects, if it can be obtained in sufficient quantities and at anything like a reasonable, cost. The first use to which the metal bias been applied has been the striking of some medals simi lar to the five-franc pieces .of France, and also some deli cately-formed watch wheels, which have been presented by the Emperor to her Majesty and Prince Albert, and • the principal crowned heads of Europe. The readiness with which his Majesty the Emperor of the/renoh has responded to the private appeal of Mr. Pepper for a spe cimen of the metal is highly gratifying, and affords the . 1 best possible evidence of his Imperial Majesty's earnest desire to promote the cause of science. This bar of aluminium will form another addition Co the many novel ties which this institution offers to the public. The entertainment on Saturday included the view of the night attack on the trenches at Sebastopol, the effects of the infernal machines used by the Russians in the , Baltic, and a display of specimens of Thames water taken at London, Hungerford, Vauxhall, and Richmond Bridges. Mr. Diver also explained his patent for re-' ceiving all the sewage manure on the banks of the river, converting it into guano, and discharging the water pure into the river. The simplicity and inexpensiveness of his plan (which is well known) are such that we are led to believe that some overpowering and hostile influence prevents the full development of a plan which, if carried out as it ought to be, would prove an inestimable bless ing to the community. MURDER IN DEVONSHIRE.-1 revolting murder has just been committed at Northam, a village in the north of Devon. A man named Robert Hanc,ek, A labourer, being jealous of his wife, struck her with a hammer several times, and afterwards cut her throat. He was apprehended on Thursday, and on Friday a coroner's inquest was held, when Hancock was committed orris hl charge of wilful murder.

CRANDROOK.—The bine looks healthy and vigorous, the burr is developing itself profusely, and with-fine lk eather in proepective there seems a probability of this parish"growing a large quantity Of fine hops. We beie noticed in some grounds, where the bins grew away fast, _ that the branches are unusually long pointed, and we mention the oirannistance hecau-e,,in estimating the pro bable amount of duty, this, together with the lateness of the season, shotild not be Overlooked. HOLLINGEOURNE_—Our lops are growing very fast, and still keep a promising and healthy appearance. The grounds are in Very geocreondition. MEREWORTII.— The bops here ara looking remarkably well at present. They are coming fast into burr. There is a little mould on some grounds, but none to hurt at present. HARDEN.—The prospect fur the crop continues very favourable; the backward charalter of the season is the Only thing against it. PEckliAm (EAST).—Hops continue exactly the same as last week. - RoLVENDEN.—Our hops still continue to grow very rapidly, and the Joneses are coming into burr. ToNDRIDGE.—The hop gardens present a pleasing scene ; the plant now covers the alleys, the burr is bold and in every respect healthy. WEST FARLEIGH AND YALDING.—The hops here are growing luxuriantly, and looking as well as the planters can wish. WATERINGBUItY.—Oar bine is ,going on better at this present time than has been known for many years, and the burr is coming out in many grounds very full and strong, and clear lroin vermin, and there is every pros pect of a good growth of hops. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. NORFOLL—TURNIP .FLY.s,-The. insect so. injerioulais the turnip crop, called " Black Jack," has afictearecl:e It is .about 18 years Since the turnips were almost de stroyed by this destructive caterpillar., This is a very .serious visitaeation.—Cambridge Chronicle. The-late rains, though retarding the hay harvest, And in some few instances lodging grain in heavy ground', have generally been most beneficial. Wheats and pota toes are looking 'very healthy, and, notwithstanding a faint whisper here and there of the reappearance of the disease in the latter esculent, - - the- potato crop on the whole was never better, or gave such aseurance of a pro lific return. Gate, barley, and turnips have also bene fited by the late genial moisture and shoUld we now be favoured with fine sunny weather. it may be safely assumed that the crops this year will be fully an average. This estimate applies to Scotland and Ireland equ a lly with England. In ofiCown district there has been of late a good deal of rain ; but notwithstanding this, if we 'are favoured with _a course of propitious weather, there can be no doubt the country at large will have little reason to .complain of the yield of the. crops,, either in regard to quantity or quality.—Neweastle Journal.. We regret to state that the broken weather con tinues ; rain lescends in frequent and copious streams ; and .we fear that harm will be done to the corn as welt as to the outlying hay.—Carliele Patriot- The heavy rains with which this district, in common with Most parts of the kingdom, have been lately visited have, we regret to state, done a considerable amount of damage trethe'grein'crops. The wheat, which was get ting heavy in the ear, has been extensively laid. In the neighbouring counties the rains are represented as hiv ing sorrif tithes descended with all the violence of a tropi cal downfall, and whole fields of wheat have been beaten down so much that they cannot possibly recover. The oats have not been so much injured as the barley and wheat. Both tbese and the barley bid fair to be heavy crops. Beans are 'ileseribed as improving: - Much in jury has been done to the mown grass. Today (Friday) the weather is fine, andthere are indications of a favour able change, which it is to be hoped, will continue. , Harvest operations have commenced in the neighbour hood of this eity.L- Worcester Journal. HAMILTON.—We._had perfect deluges of rain Yester day,- turning roadways into water-courses, 'flushing sewers, choking up and bursting drains, drenching militiamen and other umbrellaless folk, and sending field labourers to cover under trees•and hedges. Th e havier grain crops have been somewhat brokers and lodged, but fine breezy weather will pull them up yet. They are not BO far advanced as to be seriously injured. Great has been the growth in crops of all kinds within the last six weeks. There are complaints that on coast lands and light soils oats will be short in the straw, but in our clay soils this will not be the case. The promise, both in straw and ear, is of a great crop. 'Wheat and beans promise well, and witb good ripening weather will yield enperior samples. Potatoes and turnips are unusually exuberant, and as yet free from disease.—North British Daily Mail. itoXBURGHSHIRE. The fiist of the month shows itself in better colours than the days of that which has just expired.. Bright sunshine and a fremh breezy wind prevails to-day, doing something to raise up the crushed andbattereci tracts of corn land which have been the result of ,the „last ten days of broken weather. Thunder-storms have been traversing the district. Some allege that they never remember as much thunder oc curring in the same space of time. It had not the effect of cooling the air, for that continued at a good tempera tare. Heavy falls of rain, as if taking place by the breaking of a waterspout, have been experienced in some districts, doing great injury to the land. Hail showers , have occurred also. At Lantonhill, on Thursday last, hailstones fell "ineaSitring 21 inches in circumference. Over the Vale of Ettrick and Tweed, on Saturday after noon last, a tremendous storm of thunder and lightning took place. In many parts the heavy corn crops and turnips fields have suffered by the plunging firy of the showers. The harvest promises to be soon at hand. Already we observe barley fields, taking on a decided yellow hue. We have made a number of inquiries as to the condition of tbei potato crop, and the answers are generally favourable. This is the critical period for ap pearances of disease, and anything suspicious is eagerly ' exanmined.—lbid. KILMARNOCK. —For some days the weather has been fine, with occasional showers. To-day (Tuesday) it is raining heavily, with every prospect of its continuance for the rest of the day.- The crops were 'never _in finer condition, but the wetness is interrupting the hay-mak ing, with which all are now busy.—!bid. TODMORDEN.—The weather, up. to Thursday evening, has been very unsettled, and unfavourable for getting in the grass already cut. We are afraid that if the weather I does not take up soon, a considerable quantity will be spoiled ; though, as we have before stated, by far the greater portion of the hay in this district has been got in in good condition.—Halifax Guardian. KIRKBURTON.—TB HAY HARVEST.—The hay har vest has progressed very well during the past few days, but the fore part of the week was very unfavonrable, and the little that was got in we fear was not in a very good condition. Some farmerA, we understand, have had to open out their ricks, from fear of having them fired. The grain crops are going on as favourably as might be expected from the recent heavy rains. —Halifax Guar dian. We have had what cannot be looked upon as very fa vourable weather for the crops during the past week. On Tuesday and Wednesday the fall of rain was rather considerable ; but since then it has continued showery, but nothing more nevertheless. The damage has been mostly that of delay. The conclusion of the hay harvest has been impeded, and the cereal crops have not advanced so rapidly. Here and there the wheat and oats have been beaten down, but after all it must be confessed that com paratively very little damage has accrued ; and as we have indications of a favourable change, a few fine days, with a slight breeze, will soon bring about an astonish ing change. The turnips, mangel, and other root crops, have benefited by the rain. —Manchester Courier. WHITBY. —A. most terrific thunder-storin visited this town and neighbourhood on Friday evening, the 27th ult., accompanied with frequent and awful flashes of lightning. The storm commenced about ten o'clock, and continued unabated till twelve, the rain descending in torrents during the whole time. The damage done was chiefly confined to the growing crops of corn.—Yorkshire Gazette. THE HAY SEASON.—The hay harvest has been very much retarded during the past week by the heavy rains which have fallen almost daily. A great portion of the .. grass in the vicinity has been cut, but cannot be gath e e i a d . for want of a little dry weather. The (crops in 0. snnmthere stances are rather light, but not generally sol." ouid the would be, perhaps, little cause for comp ainto _ 12. _ ... weather become more favourable for their being wo ri b e it y ro o - f Md.

Potatoes are looking well ; they are generally flowering, which they have rarely done since the disease made its appearance. We may, therefore, look forward for a good crop.,—Leeds Mercury.
