Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing albs., at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed far a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three quarterns of oats, costing 71d. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 16s. net cash, free, delivered by my own waggons to any station in London.

REVIEWS OF THE WORK. "Curtis on Manhood.—This is a truly valuable work, and should be in the hands of young and old." " Sunday Times," March, 1856. "The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this little work, in which is described the source of those diseases which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature o l d age."—" Daily Telegraph," March 27,1858. " This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of professional criticism and4mpirical hostility, treats in a plain and sympathising manner on the various disqualifications and impediments arising from nervous excitement and de - WHY ; and to i nva lid s su ff er i ng f rom youthful errors and el],cocendssoes it will be f oun d va l ua bl e an d use ful." —Record.

After adducing other illustrations, Mr. Pepper expressed his own surprise at the efficiency and simplicity of Mr. Cooke's invention, and as the whole world does when surprised out of its usual course, wondered that it was never dis covered before. Mr. Pepper exhibited a small model of a house built in the ordinary way to show the effects of the folds of wire gauze attached to the top of the window sashes by Mr. Cooke. When ventilation was required the window was pulled down and the gauze unfolded, admitting as much fresh air as was required without the usual accompaniment of a draught. Mr. Pepper experimented most conclu sively with nine lighted candles supposed to repre sent the ladies and gentlemen congregated within the room it was proposed to ventilate. The apart ment having been rendered air-tight, all but one small crack over a door, the candles soon began to show symptoms of imperfect combustion, and the necessity for an immediate restorative; in fact, the condition of some of them became so bad in a short time, that their light could with difficulty be saved by an application of the ventilator : those in a less advanced stage of decline were promptly restored. Under all the disadvantages of an expe riment on a small scale like this, the principle was shown to be thoroughly successful, and its adapta tion to the window sashes of ordinary dwelling houses at a trifling expense to be a vast improve ment over the present clumsy means of procuring ventilation. In conclusion, Mr. Pepper announced that in order to further popularise the subject under consideration, and gratify wishes expressed in va rious quarters, he should repeat his lecture. THE GREAT FIRE IN TO OLEY-STREET. It was publicly announced by the officials of the London brigade on Saturday at noon that this terri ble fire had been extinguished. That report, how ever, unfortunately, turned out to be untrue, for during Seturday night and yesterday (Sunday) morning, a sudden outbreak of flames took place in the immense vaults under the walls which killed Mr. Braidwood and Mr. Scott. The two power ful steam floating engines were at once again called into requisition, but the flames still continued their violence. Further explosions of tallow casks and oil tierces were continually tak ing place to the danger of the firemen. Engineers J. and G. Gerrard, Alfred Foger, and Medealf, did all they possibly could to get the devour ing element extinguished, but as fast as the water was projected from the machinery the fire seemed to be forced into sundry other portions, driving the , blazing fat far towards the London-bridge end of Chamberlein's-wharf. _ A novel engine was procured yesterday from Bermondsey, for the purpose of pumping the tallow and oil out of the vaults, The machine, however, proved of no use, and not a portion of tallow or even oil would it lift, and one of the head brigade engines was then called into requisition for the same object, it being found that if tke men were allowed to remain in the vaults, some of them who were collecting tallow would be suffocated, owing to the great effluvia sent through the whole of the remaining vaults. Owing to the thickness of the tallow, as it in some measure became cooled, it was unable to pass through the hose into the suc tion pipe, and consequently could only pass occa sionally through the engine. Men, it is feared, will therefore, be obliged to again wade knee deep through the melted tallow to collect it together. Some doubts having been entertained as to whether sufficient of the remains of the unfortunate Mr. Scott had been found to justify the coroner in hold ing an inquest, he at first refused, but Mr. O'Conner, his partner, having written to him, and pointed out that he could swear to the property found as hav ing been in his possession at the time he met with his untimely death, Mr. Sergeant Payne, at the re quest of Mr. O'Connor, has consented to hold an, inquest this day, at one o'clock, in the vestry-hall of St. Olave's Church. Men were engaged last night in pouring down chloride of lime into the sewers to kill, if possible, the noxious vapours rising from them, and diffusing themselves over the neighbourhood, which made a marked change in the atmosphere. NA RS OIV ESCA PE OF THE " FEMALE L a:V.III2V" AT THE A writer in a contemporary says—l think you will not deem unworthy of notice a circumstance which occurred on Friday evening at the Alhambra Palace, when the crowded benches were waiting in breathless expectation to see the " Female Blondin " make her " terrific ascent." The side lopes were being drawn taut, and everything would have been ready in a few seconds ; in five minutes, I imagine, the fearless rope-walker would have walked proudly isolated in the centre of the fretted dome, when suddenly a loud thud was heard, like the sound of a huge muffled drum ; a shudder ran round the iron-bound galleries and thrilled through the breasts of the audience ; for an instant every heart beat quickly and every eye was confused ; and then the ragged strands of the broken tight-rope were seen dangling in mid-air. I need not enlarge on the sensation of relief that ensued when the trifling nature of the accident was understood ; I would rather speak of the painful reaction °Heeling that was experienced when we thought what would have been the fate of the poor lady if the rope had burst asunder a few minutes later. Surely, sir, if the law cannot hinder such dangerous exhibitions, it should at any rate be able to control the conditions under which they are pro duced. The breaking of this rope should be made a matter of strict investigation, and it should be seen that none but competent persons have the management of details on which the life of a fellow creature must depend. Five minutes later no skill in rope-walking, nay, no power on earth, could have saved the " Female Blondin " from a dreadful ' death. For her sake, and for the sake of other lives that are risked for the general amusement, the public are in duty bcund to demand an explanation. Happily the evening did not end tragically. The audience were disappointed of their show,butfelt rejoiced that the rope had so w ell chosen its time. The manager lamented the mischance; but he an nounced blandly that "all w ould be set right by to morrow," and an instant later he led forward, gaily dressed, bowing and smiling, the lady who but a few seconds before had stood on the brink of so frightful a precipice. ~c ~~-£ THE CH-4RING-CROSS WATER WORKS. There is no reason why the basins of Trafalgar square, intended as they are to ornament " the finest site in Europe," should give forth vapours which are at once poisonous and disagreeable. They are supplied in the first instance with water of as pure a character as can be obtained, and there is abundance of it for replenishing them. The ex penditure of a few pounds judiciously, would effect a marvellous change in the daily contents of the b as i n s. As things are now, the fountains discharge into those basins each day may thousands of gallons of water, raised from the deep well in the rear of the National Gallery; but with what results? Simply to become a nuisance ! The basins being of equal depth from centre to circumference, receive the discharge from the fountain jets and retain it until they are full. Then the overflow commences and the surplus surface water passing off, leaves the main bulk to stagnate, fester, and stink ! Thus the process goes on week after week, and month after month, to the annoyance and injury of all who pass, and more particularly of those who reside in the locality. We contend that this evil might be obviated by the employment of a few thousands of bricks and some bushels of go t o h d e Portland cement. The uniform depth of f t _ e basins is the source and the perpetrato.fr o ur. h y mischief, and this must be altered ' if Let instead of corruption is to be attained.de t o shelve the bottoms of the basins downwards from centre to .cirtbcusTimfheaerrereiteh.e NCvaotine; mencing at the radial . pom g s n the surface water, from the various j the basins should - ebtesnimotPin- es° than two inches in depth, and this should gmraodreuallbyouinnedraeraisees,tNovhtehree granite rims which form their the depth should remain as at present. By this t r, instead of drifting a rrangement the falling water, a way over the putrid mass below to the overflow pipes, would have a natural and gravitating in fluence, and would t hus displace the nuisance, which now has no inclination or impulse to force it towards the sewer, which is its fitting receptacle. The 'nun , tains and the basins would by this means prove self ; pur ifying, and the public would have the satisfac tion of knowing that if their money had been ex pended in a futile attempt to please the eye, it had not resulted in a perpetual offence to the nose. As most members of the Legislative assemblies must have experienced the nauseous effects of the Charing-cross Water Works, we commend the above practical suggestion to their attention, and beg of them to direct to it that of Mr. Cowper.— Nechanice lozgazine.

Slr,—My attention has been called to a letter in your issue of Friday, the sth inst., signed by Mr. Malone, and bringing my name somewhat promi nently forward. The document in question is replete with inac curacies. It asserts, for instance, that Captain Burton in " endeavouring to support M. Du Chaillu," further added that he could confirm that traveller as to another instrument described in his book, consisting of pieces of wood placed over gourds, &c. I said nothing of the kind. Mr. Malone, like most Englishmen, has probably read Dr. Living stone, and has made over the South African ex plorer's description of such an instrument to me. The inaccuracies put forth by Mr. Malone with respect to M. du Chaillu are far graver than the little specimen above alluded to. Mr. Malone began by interrupting the procedings with ironical cheer ing, a practice not rare, I believe, in the House of Commons, but hardly admissible into an ethnologi cal society. He then rose, and, after a preamble touching the fierceness of his disposition, adopted a tone and style of address which would have caused the coolest temper to boil over. My wonder is that M. du Chaffiu restrained himself so long. M. du Chaillu is a foreigner--one reason for courtesy; he was our guest—another reason; ho has been subjected for the last two months to un usual annoyances—a third reason. I venture to hope that the person excluded from the future meet ings of the Ethnological Society will be, not M. du Chaillu, but the gentleman who, after taking undue advantage of our protection, insulted a foreigner and a guest, and received (and quietly pocketed) his punishment.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, RICHARD F. BURTON, M. Ethno. Soc. 14, St. James's•square, July 6. 711 E CANVASS OF THR NEW ISOLICI- TOR-GENERzL• As we have previously anrounced, a seat has been found for the new Solcitor-General, Mr. Roundell Palmer, at Richmonl, Yorkshire, by the retirement of Mr. Rich. The greater part of the borough is owned by the Earl of Zetland, and for the last 20 years no attempt his been made to dis pute his lordship's influence. 11r. Roundell Palmer arrived in the town on Thursday evening, and, after making a personal call on a number of the electors, on Frid a y a dd resse d f crowded meeting in the Town hall at York. The chair was taken by Mr. Alderman Cooke, who introduced the hon. and learned gentleman to the raeeing. Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER, ;rho on rising was re ceived with cheers, said he could not help feeling that he appeared before then on the present occa sion under circumstances of considerable disadvan tage, because he was willing to give them all credit for the feeling they all respected in others and wished to find in themselves, a preference for old friendships over new ones. He thought, considering the long period of time during which Mr. Rich had served the borough, the high character he had al ways maintained, and the just regard felt for him in that place and in every place where he was known, it must be a regret to them all that they were to lose his services as their representative. It was doubtless known to rainy of them as well as to himself that Mr. Rich had been for a considerable time compelled to look forward 'to the dissolution of his connexion with the borough. Unfortunately, through a malady which seriously affected his eye sight, he had begun to find himself unable to give that attention to his Parliamentary duties which he felt it his duty to do, and being advised that if he had attempted to do so, it might have been attended with far worse consequences, he had de termined at an early period to retire from Parlia ment. It was a delicate matter for him to justify Mr. Rich's judgment in giving him the advantage to present himself before the constituency. It was not from reasons personal to himself, but in defer ence to the judgment the Government had formed as to the propriety of placing him (Mr. R. Palmer) in his present position, which had determined Mr. Rich, of course leaving it to their judgment whether by their approval of him they would enable the Government to avail themselves of his services in Parliament. The act of Mr. Rich was as spontane ous and disinterested as it was generous, but undoubtedly he could have wished, and so could he (Mr. R. Palmer), that the electors of Richmond had been a longer time acquainted with his intention, and that a longer time should have intervened be fore the election ; but the recent changes had come suddenly on the Government by an act of Providence which none could foresee, and therefore could not pro vide against them. He should not have done justice to his feelings if he had not said thus much in justice to the hon. gentleman whom he aspired to succeed. (Cheers.) He now app.roached the still more diffi cult task of speaking of himself. It was, under all circumstances, an invidious, disagreeable, and diffi cult thing for a man to speak of himself; but, when a man came forward to offer himself for election to an independent constituency, that was a d u ty h e must discharge, a necessity he must encounter as well as he could. He should first state under what circumstances he came before them. He came be fore them, as they knew, because it had pleased their gracious Sovereign to confer on him the ap pointment of Solicitor-General. That act was not by word or deed personally, directly or indirectly. through any friend—not even in the most remote manner sought either by his friends or himself. lie was out of Parliament, and had been out of Parlia ment for the past four years. The cause o f thi s was a difference between the Prime Minister and him self. He was n t able to agree with Lord Palmer-. ston on the question of the Chinese war ; but he supposed he (Mr. Roundell Palmer) was wrong, because the great majority of the people of England sustained the then Government in the course it pur sued. But though he differed from Lord Palmer ston, he could assure them it was because he con sciously followed what he thought right on that occasion. (Hear.) The consequence, however, was that he did not offer himself again at the election which followed to the important constituency which he, had represented for nearly 10 years. He would not attempt to. speak of the manner in which he discharged his duties during the period be repre sented that constituency further than to say that he acted throughout as an independent man, neither flattering his constituency nor any of the people, whom he always loved and served, not connecting himself with any party, not seeking office, not mak ing himself dependent in any way, so that when he went out of Parliament in 1857 he went out as independent a man as when he entered it. (Cheers.) No man had any claim upon him for a vote given in his favour ; no Government had any claim upon him ; and there was no party with which he had definitely Connected himself. He remained out of Parliament during the two elections which followed, and he would tell them why he did so. He was not prepared to unite himself with the party of Lord Derby and Mr Dis r aeli, and h e cou ld not, without acting inconsistently and bartering his independence, consent to be bound by such pledges as many popular constituencies asked of their can didates. He preferred remaining out of Parliament till he could serve some independent constituency, and he would have remained out to the end of his days rather than have entered in any way that would have involved a sacrifice ofprinciple . (Cheers.) Although out of Parliament, and not in office, Lord Palmerston had asked him to give his services, humble as they were, to the Government. Lord Palmerston knew the principles he had professed; and he also must have been aware that he should not swerve from them. Notwithstanding this he had thought well to honour him with the office of Solicitor-General. He must confess himself not to be indifferent to that feelifrig of ambition which was common among men, but he hoped that in accepting office under the Government he was chiefly moved by that more honourable ambition to serve his coun try to the best of h is p ower. (Cheers.) H i s prin ciples might be summed up in a few points. He was at present,. and always had been ; an ardent lover of the people, and an ardent lover an d advo cate of civil and religious liberty—(cheers)--but he was not one who, had courted the name of Liberal rather than follow the p r i nc i p l es t h at term ex pressed; neither had he, to earn a cred i t for supe rior liberality, supported measures which, although popular with a certain C l ass, were what he con sidered detrimental to the interests of the country. On the other hand, he was most heartily attached to the mixed form of Government under which we lived, and to the great i nst i tutions of the co untry in Church and S tate; and no one could be more determined to hand them down to posterity as unimpaired as he had found them. But that at tachment was not blind and unreasoning He for one could not go so far as to say there were no flaws in our time-honoured institutions. He was not, therefore, opposed to well considered measures of earnest and practical reform. There was no doing good without progress, and there was no progress, right, or respect for the good with which we may be actuated which we ought not to be thankful to God for giving us. (Hear.) Th ere was one su bj ec t on which he had the most decided opinion. He was one of those who looked on war as the greatest curse which could happen to the human race. He was ready to advance to the furth es t li m i t o f con cession compatible with the national dignity and honour to maintain peace; but, on the other hand, he was one who thought that the national honour should be maintained at whatever cost, and that we should shrink from no expenditure to pl ace t h e na tional security beyond jeopardy. ( (; h eers. ) H o ldi ng these opinions Lord Palmerston had thought it well to invite him to join the Government , and he had not refused giving his services, and h e h ope d h e might be in some measure instrumental in helping forward those measures of law reform which for a long success i on o f years had been in progress, an d which, as they knew, were not yet finished. In other matters he should be prepared to promote to the best of his ability the progress of practical im provement. He was not afraid of the people of this country ; on the co ntrary, ee re s p ecte d and honoure d them. (Cheers.) He felt that they were entitled to the most unbounded respect a n d conf i dence, an d he should be prepared in all thin gs t o cons id er ex clusively objects of practical government for their good. When he had received th e ca ll to accept o ffi ce lie considered it his duty to obey when he looked at the position of parties at hom e an d the state of po litics abroad, provided there was no interference o f principle which would prev ent hi m obeying that call. And he did not know of any. Let them just look abroad. For some years past they had seen, and still saw on the continent of Europe such dangerous complications of affairs as might at any moment involve the whole of Europe in war, and he held it to be a thing of vital i mportance t h at a ll possible support should be given to a Government which had by its policy shown itself entitled to their confidence, and he thought the Government of Lord Palmerston had especially done that. The whole bearing of the Government for the last three or four years had been towards the preservation of peace, at the same time holding that the liberty of foreign nations should not be interfered with by preventing interference. (Cheers.) They had maintained the right of nations to work out their own liberty. These great results, which bad been attained with such noble promises of future good, would not have been, or at any rate might not have been attained without the influence of the moral weight of this country speaking through its Government. It was this, he believed, brought to bear on certain poten tates, which had restrained ambition or desire for power which would otherwise in all pronabiiity have thrown impediments in the way of such a happy consummation of events as had taken place. (Cheers.) It was not only the armaments of France, not only the imperfect consolidation of the Italian kingdom, not only the changes which threatened in the Papal States, but there were dangers in Austria and Hungary—dangers in Poland and Turkey— dangers, in fact, on all sides : and what had they to trust to P Why, subject to Divine and overruling Providence, they had to trust to the firmness and wisdom of their rulers ; and if the conduct of affairs in this country should fall into hands in any way in clined to disturb the policy which had. worked so well for the last three or four years, and who had not that influence and experience in foreign Courts which the present Government possessed, the guarantees we now had for the peace of our land and the security of our own homes would be most materially disturbed and diminished. For this reason he asked their sup port, as he intended to co-operate with a Government* which had so successfully conducted the affairs of the country; and the present state of parties in this country he thought, presented an equally strong reason why they should not refuse the Government their confidence. There were a great many people —many, perhaps, in Richmond, though not as many there as elsewhere—who spoke as if they thought that all the world wa; divided by some hard line into Radicals and Tories. There was not a greater mistake. It was not so divided; and it was probably less so divided now than at any for mer period. What was the cause why these divi sions had dwindled and become so unreal ? It was doubtless to be attributed to the great abuses which had been reformed ; the fabric of liberty had been built up step by step till at last there remained few matters which tended strongly to divide the opinions of men. And it was a very happy thing that it was so. It promoted cordiality between man and man. There was one particular evil con nected with this good thing—it tended to make Government rather more difficult, because there was a greater tendency to struggle for power be tween the heads of parties. It was for the advan tage of the country that a Government should be reasonably strong, against which this approxima tion of opinions militated. There were two kinds of Conservatism—one was destructive, the other was common to all good Liberals. The destructive stood still, was selfish, advocated class privileges, thought everything was as good as it should be, and disliked all change. Such Conservatism would revolutionise society. True Conservatism was pro gress—that which was stationary in the world went to decay and died ; that which -was prowres sive lived and grew. The progress of reform should be constant and steady, and on this the security and prosperity of the nation depended. The policy of the present Administration was safe and progressive, and he felt it no slight honour to be connected with it. The learned gentleman concluded by asking the support of the electors if his principles coincided with theirs. On the motion of Mr. G. Smurthwaite, seconded by Captain Stapleton, a vote of confidence in Mr. Roundell Palmer was unanimously agreed to. In answer to questions the hon. candidate stated that he was favourable to the admission to the franchise of the intelligent members of the working classes. He was opposed to the ballot. Mr. HUNTON moved a vote of thanks to the re tiring member, Mr. Rich, which was carried by ac clamation, and after cheers had been given for Mr. Roundell Palmer and a vote of thanks passed to the Chairman the meeting dispersed. The election, it is believed, will take place in the course of the week. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—An account of the late meeting of the Ethnological Society appears in your impression of to-day from Mr. T. A. Malone, whose statement of the evening's occurrences is only partially correct. Soon after the chairman had left the meeting, I observed M. du Chaillu making his way in an excited manner to that part of the room in which Mr. Malone had been sitting. I followed him, but did not reach the spot until Mr. Malone called out "Is there no one here to protect me !" lat once requested M. du Chaillu to come with me to the refreshment room, which he did, and I then re turned to Mr. Malone and expressed the regret which the officers of the society felt at the insult he had received, and invited him to take some refresh ment. He asked me if I would guarantee him from further insult, which I undertook to do, and so far Mr. Malone is right in correcting the accounts which you quoted. But while I con cur thus far in Mr. Malone's account, I feel bound in justice to M. du Chaillu to inform you that the rest of the letter is a very ex parte statement, and one which is little calculated to give your readers a 'fair impression of the insulting speeches which had been made by Mr. Malone. Indeed, up to the moment of the assault, there was a strong feeling in the meeting respecting the in judicious remarks of Mr. Malone, which were ren dered still more unpalatable by the great profes sions of " painful feeling," &c. From the whole tenour of Mr. Malone's remarks one would rather have imagined that M. du Chaillu had been a cul prit on his trial for some grave offence than a dis tingnished foreigner who had attended the meeting to hear a paper by the celebrated African traveller, Captain Richard Burton. I am at a loss to know by what right Mr. Malone made himself inquisitor ' general, and because a question of his was not answered to his satisfaction, why he should rise and lecture travellers in general, and M. du Chailli in particular ? What a scene of confusion would have ensued if every author present had thus been cross-examined and bullied. I must also correct one other statement which Mr. Malone has made in his letter, with as little justice, I fear, as the remarks contained in his speeches. Mr. Malone says, " A Syrian Christian was put forward." Now, I deny that any such gentleman was "put forward." It is true that a Mr. Ameuney, a native of Syria, gained permission to say a few words on the cannibalism of the Jews ; but it is false to insinuate that he was pat forward by the society. Mr. Malone asks that M. du Chaillu be ex. eluded from all future meetings of the society ; this request was made, however, before M. du Chaillu tendered his apology to the Ethnological Society and the public. The subject will be duly brought under the notice of the Council of the Society, who will decide . whether M. du Chaillu be again in vited to attend the meetings of the Ethnological Society. I do not presume to divine what their decision may be, but I feel it due to M. du Chaillu to state that he enjoys the full confidence of the Ethnologists of this country. In conclusion, I have only to state that I am not aware of any law existing in the Ethnological Society by which a gentleman can be excluded from attending its meetings. At present every member is allowed to introduce his friends (for whom he must be answerable) and, if I intro duce Mr. Malone, I expect the chairman to prevent him from asking insulting questions of any author who happens to be present. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, JAMES HUNT. Ore-house, near Hastings, July 5. LAUNCH OF TWO STEADI-VESSELS AT DEPTFORD. On Saturdy afternoon last a numerous company assembled at Messrs. Langley's dockyard, Deptford green, to witness the launching of two iron screw steam-vessels, built by that firm, viz., the Briton, 1,100 tons, intended for the mail packet service be• tween Southampton and the Cape of Good Hope, and the barque Mary Langley, of 400 tons, intended for the West Coast trade. The latter vessel was launched at one o'clock, the ceremony of christen ing being , performed by Mrs. Langley, wife of the builder. As the smart craft dipped into the water, she revealed exquisite form, with very fine lines. She is fitted with Cunningham's patent topsails, and other recent improvements, and is well calcu lated for speed. The following are her dimensions: — Length between perpendiculars, 141 feet ; length over all, 155 feet; depth moulded, 17 feet 8 inches: The launch of the Briton was effected in a very successful manner. She is a magnificent screw steamer, and will prove a valuable addition to the fleet of the Union Steam-ship Company, who perform the mail service between Southampton and the Cape. She is the first large vessel con structed on the unsinkable plan recently patented by Mr. Langley, and which was favourably noticed a t e t c t t h s . e a T s C h t e o i n in g p r e o s r s t a o n f t the ch l a n n s g ti e t s u t e of obtained i n a e v d Ac by r th i s plan are, that should the vessel strike on rocks, &c., and the bottom o f he r . keel be actually torn away, she could not sik ; it also adds to the strength of the ship and dim n ak in o is uA li tia. es the chance of destruction swhionulbdeasufipreplbierde by tawndeenheprerdpireenednisciuo Messrs .

After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, that of " Success to the Trade ably responded to by M r. Coolington, who CacpelinfGgtooon,d Hope" was who entered in to manye had resided more than 40 years. Mr. Giles referred to the satisfactory man ner in which the company had been able to carry out the mail service, owing in a great measure to the excellent iron screw-ohipa built at that yard, THE SCIENCE AND UTILITY OF VENTIL ATI ON . A lecture on this interesting topic was delivered at the Hanover-square Rooms, on Wednesday, by Professor Pepper, well known as the late scientific and enterprising conductor of the Polytechnic Institution, Regent-street. The fame of the lec turer and the importance of his subject brought together a numerous and fashionable audience, and the lecture was, in the hands of Professor Popper, made to embrace the whole science of the subject of ventilation in its relation to health and the general condition of civilised life. The lecturer commenced by referring to the historyof ventilation, and traced the first rude attempts of the Egyptians, the Grecians, and the Romans, many years before the beginning of the Christian era, to obtain ven tilation and coolness in the summer, and an escape for the smoke of their fires in the winter. Thus it appeared that the science of ventilation was early understood, and earnest efforts were made to reduce it to practice by the learned men of those nations. The topic was introduced in the writings of teeny of the old Roman poets. The ancients made certain apertures or holes in their buildings for the purpose of ventilation; chimneys were not invented till about the twelfth or four teenth century. Having thus complied with the requirements of a history-loving people, Mr. Pepper proceeded to the broad and modern prin ciples of ventilation, which are based upon the well-known law of the expansion of all bodies, solid, liquid, or gaseous, by heat, and their contrac tion by cold. In illustration of this principle, a variety of interesting experiments v, ere per formed, exhibiting conclusively the action of this rigid and unswerving natural law, which by the application of artificial means and contrivances is made subservient to the necessities of civilization. The iron rod, the professor showed by actual experiment, when heated in the boiling water, re fused to re-enter the guagc till restored to its former temperature ; water rose in the thermometer by the application of heat; and a balloon filled with warm air by means of Leslie's glass stove ascended to the ceiling till the air became cool, when it immediately collapsed, and descended upon the heads of the audience. Proceeding thus, step by step, from the very elements of the science, we were gradually led up to its more intricate and subtle workings; and the various systems of ventilation now in vogue in the Houses of Parliament, in public buildings, dwelling houses, and coalmines were severally brought under the notice of the audience, and illustrated by various mod models and experiments. The importance of ventila tion in its relation to human health was clearly pointed out and further illustrated by reference to an able paper written by Miss Florence Nightingale in the transactions of the Society for Promoting Social Science. This lady's hospital experience was most valuable in pointing out the necessity for a continu ous supply of fresh air, and plenty of it, for nothing could produce a more deleterious effect in the con dition of the sick than a limited and impure supply of this healthy element. The danger of catching cold had been greatly exaggerated, more Gape , - cially in a country like England, where fuel is cheap, and where the patient may be sufficiently protected by an ample supply of clothing. No thing could compensate for a deficient supply of air ; no artificial means would suffice ; the only real remedy was to throw open the windows, and so obtain a plentiful inlet (Apure air. The nos pitals in Paris, though ample, and even magnifi cent in their dimensions, Mr. Pepper pointed out, were incapable of conferring the whole of their pos sible and intended advantages, from the simple reason that the ventilation was carried on by arti ficial means. In the morning, when the wards were opened, they were found to contain a close and vitiated atmosphere, which was sure to exercise an unsalutary effect on the health of the patients. The simplest inventions in all matters of science were generally those of the widest practical utility. The inventions of Roscommon and Watt in the steam engine were unsurpassed in the simplicity of their action and their usefulness. The invention of the screw propeller consisted of nothing more than the application of one of the most elementary laws of mechanics ; and the grandest and most wonderful discove ries of the age had not depended, as a rule, upon deep and abstruse researches into science, but the application by practical men of first and simple principles. For an illustration it was not necessary to look further than the safety lamp of Davy, or the self-recording telegraph of Lardner. While dis coveries, which had offered a broad field for every scientific researcher in the kingdom were floating in the minds of the astute and learned of all classes, Humphrey Davy electrified .the whole of these savants by the production o f his miner's safety lamp, which was practically n othin g more than an inc o sfauerte, o a f n t a h p epfiliacio inm at e n a shade of fine ga l u a z i e m ; 1 e i s n s of a principle wire whose p philosopher s pred ct ecessors (li . and simplicity had . rendered it an ' obje of s regard to all this em inent phi But the object was attained, and the miner enabled to leave his lamp burnin g in the mine, or to carry it w ith him into any atmosphere where he himself E WS PAPE R AUSTRIA AND RUN GA g, 4 - ' The following is the rescript in which th rty. c of Austria announced to the Hungarian Chain. S rs his refusal to accept their address : Francis Joseph 1., by the grace of God Emperor o e Austria, Apostolic King of Hungary, &c., &c. 1 We offer our greeting to our barons of the empire, e eclesiastical and lay dignitaries, and representatives o four faithful ki ng d om o f H ung a r y and the coun t.r..es annexed, assembled in Diet in virtue of our co:avocation of April 2, 1861. Although we have bo greatly surprised on learning the debates that kw ye taken place in the Chamber of Representatives c ortcerning our rights as sovereign, as well as the a ttacks directed against the hereditary right which b elongs to us incontestably according to law, we everthelss thought that we ought to consider ti 3em rather as the manifestation of the momentary e rcitement of certain passionate speakers than. as t 3 ie faithful expression of the sentiments of our a: Ls. embled Diet. • :But since a positive expression his been given to th e se erroneous views both in the form and the draw ing up of the humble address which has been destined, for. us, we consider it to be our first duty, in order to preserve the humble respect that is due to our royal person and our royal hereditary rights—a. re sp ect which the throne and its dignity demand by gc iod right, and which has been set aside in this ad idress of the states and representatives, by tb .eir discarding the forms legally used—to reject tb .e address which, in violation of the royal rights, is not addressed to the hereditary King of Hun guLry ; we have, nevertheless, the strong desire to pronounce without reticence on the questions of high importance contained in the address of the magnates and representatives, and consequently we wriuusly invite the Upper Estates and the repro. se ntatives to submit to us the address, observing' the course followed by the Coronation Diet of 1790, under such a form that its acceptance may be harmony with the dignity of the crown, which it kg our duty to preserve against all attack, and with our hereditary sovoseign rights. For the rest, w e still retain for you our goodwill and Imperial grace. FRANCIS J OSEPH. Vienna, June 30, 1861. tbsequent advices from Pesth announce' that the Hungarian Diet has modified the title of the address in the sense of the Imperial rescript. The ques Lion of form is therefore settled to the satisfac tion of the rights of the Emperor, but there still rem tins that of the rights of Hungary, that is to say, the re-establishment of the laws of 1848. Oa that point the moderate llungarian party do not seem more disposed to yield than the ultra one. The address, as now sent to Vienna, bears on tee, envelope the address—" To his Sacred, Imperil- e t, and Royal Majesty," with all the other titles, similar to that which was on the envelope of the address of 1790. TILE MOORS AND FORESTS. THE SO UTHERN MOORS.—The Border Advertiser says :—" The prospects for the 12th are hitherto very enc auraging in this district. Grouse are abundant and strong on the wing, no disease or death having occurred during the breeding season. Within the last days the keeper on the Gala estate tells us that he has picked up several old dead birds from the fatal tape-worm. These, however, are only exceptional cases. Partridges are a plentiful crop, and already coveys of sixteen or eighteen are to be seen packed on the neighbouring hill sides. On the Ettrick and Yarrow fells the game is most plentiful, and seldom have the prospects of sports men been more auspicious than they are at pre sent." AYRSHIRE AND WIG TO WNSHIRE.—The Advertiser says !—" We have made inquiries of keepers over grounds of considerable extent, in different loca lities in Ayrshire and Wigtownshire, and can sup plement their reports by personal inspection in the south of Ayrshire, and are happy to state that the appearance of grousa has not been better for many seasons. The broods are numerous and full num bered, and the great proportion are steady on the wing, and will take a quick aim and No. 4 on the 12th. An occasional dead bird has been found; but when we hear of grouse having been shot so recently as in March last, we can well understand a stray pellet accounting for a bird pining and dying since. This has also been a good season for black game. Partridges and pheasants have seldom been so abundant; and as for hares they vary according to poaching or preserving. On the whole there has not been so good a prospect for the sportsmen for many years." IN VERN ESS.—The Int'erneSS C'ourzcr says:-- "Five weeks from this date a large maprity of sportsmen will be located in their shooting-boxes on moor and mountain, ready for the 12th of August, on the issue of which, and where the best bags of *grouse are to be made, there is as much excitement among one class as the faie.of a Perby or St. Leger causes among horse 'ra6er3. From every quarter round Inverness, and-all over the north, we continue to receive the most favourable accounts of the pro gress of the young broods of grouse. In numbers they are much above the average of seasons, and the weather—alternately showers apd sunshine—has been so favourable that the growth of the young broods has been very rapid. By the 12th of August cheepers will be rarer arcs, and the general remark, as the birds get up, will be that every covey has black tails. The prospects of deer-stalkers are no less encouraging. Abundance of grass in all the glens and corries a month earlier than usual has brought the stags into such good condition that their antlers are now full grown, and royal heads will be more numerous in the forests than usual. We hear from a forester, who has a large range under his care, that so forward are the stags' heads, that by the time the stalking begins he expects to see some of the heads cle'ar Of the velvet." TILE _EMPEROR NAPOLEON'' RESI- DEN CE 47 VICHY. This residence, which, as is known, has been taken for the Emperor's use, is situated in the Rue du Parc, close to the bank of the Allier. •It is so situated that it can easily be secured from an importunate infix of the curious, being protected. on the side of the park by a terrace six feet in height, and on the other sides by a wall. The villa is an excellent building, in the style of Louis XII. It is reached on the side of the garden by a double flight of stone steps ornamented. with four statues of children personifying the four seasons. The ground floor is raised. on a subsoil, formed of rustic porphyry, fixed with Roman cement. The vestibule is ornamented with two consoles, supported by lions' heads of natural size, in carved wood, and a handsome clock in gilt bronze of the style of Louis XVI. The large salon opens at the end of the vestibule. The furniture, which is in carved wood, covered with green silk damask, is of the :purest Louis XVI. style. The chimney ornaments are exceedingly rich, two statues of children in bronze, of natural size, sup ported by columns in wood, each bearing a candela. brum in gilt bronze with 14 lights. In the centre of the salon is a gueridon in mahogany, six feet in dia meter, covered with a slab of white marble which was formerly at Malmaison, and belonged to Queen Hortense. There are also two magnificent pic tures belonging to the crown, one of Madame Lebrun, and the other signed " Angelica Kauffmann pinxit, Romce, 1786." Some pictures be longing to Strauss are good enough to hold their place beside those just mentioned. The ceiling of the salon is a painting by Jouvenet, p representing Venus and Adonis, surrounded by nymphs, cupids, and tritons. There is also a fine portrait of Mme. de La Rochejaquelin, in the costume of a Vendean.
