Several alarming riots occurred in Baltimore on Sunday, growing out of the excited state of the public mind on political matters. The most serious disturbance was caused by a report that a gang of New York rowdies had been imported by the Democrats to participate in the election on Wed nesday. The head-quarters of the Empire Club was a special object of hostility. It appears, how ever, that the assailing parties wet e repulsed. One man was shot in the melee, and several others were -wounded. A heart-rending accident occurred on the 6th, about half-past nine o'clock, by which three men lost their lives. I; appears that the stoamboat Isaac P. Smith ran a trip with the Glencove, in place of the Armenia, from New York to Albany, and by some means, at present unknown, burst her steam chest when near Haverstraw. Tao engineer and both the firemen were so near the chest that a per son on board who saw them says that they were laterally flayed alive. None of them were killed, but it is an utter impossibility for any of them to recover. We understand that a warrant from the Govern ment has been received by the French Consul, authorising the arrest of .ugust Perat, Louis Gre let, and Eugene Grelet, charged with defraudine. the It othschilds of some millions of francs. The warrant directs that they be brought before the Federal authorities of this city for an examination. The warrant also includes the name of Charles Carpentier, not yet arrested.—New York herald. The _aoyal Gazette of Bermuda, of the 23d ult., says :—" Her Majesty's brig Atalanla, Commander Pasley, has arrived from Halifax. The Atalanta brought deapatches for the senior naval officer here. Admiral Fanshawe wishes to be correctly informed as to the state of the health of the island, and whether it was likely any additional medical aid will be requited. Her Majesty's steamer Hermes, Commander Crayton, had arrived at Halifax from Jamaica. She had lost her surgeon, gunner, pay master, carpenter, and several of her crew, by fever. It was reported that the Hermes would leave Hali fax on her return to Jamaica. Yellow fever pre vailed to a great extent in the parishes of Warwick and Somerset. It was carried to the island in June last by H.M.S. Malacca." By way of Bermuda we have news from Barba does and Grenada. The West Indian, of Barba does" of Aug. 25, says :—" The sugar crop will be 3,500 Mids., which is 1,000 less than that of 1855, and 2,800 less than in 1854. Four or five weeks' r ain was required to give the young canes a fair start:' From Guayama we learn from a correspondent writing on the 9th, that cholera was still very pre valent there, carrying yellow fever and small-pox in its train. Mayaguez was ravaged by cholera, and many of its leading settlers had died of the epidemic. Some of the planters had lost as many as 100 labourers, and from 40 to 60 had been taken from others. A severe drought prevailed there, and the canes had suffered very much. From South America the news is unimportant. On the 14th of June last, a treaty, having for its object the opening of the waters of the Upper Paraguay river to navigation and commerce, was duly ratified between Paraguay and Brazil. By this treaty is opened an outlet for the gold, silver, precious stones, and valuable woods of a region hitherto almost unkn own t o commerce, but with which the reports of Lieutenants Herndon and Gibbon, of our navy, have made our readers some what familiar. " RAILWAYS AND - REVOLVERS IN GEORGIA." A correspondent of the Times, alluding to the article that has appeared in that journal under the above head, says :—" When I read the letter which appeared in your columns of yeetcrday under the above striking heading I came at once to the deliberate conclusion that it was a miserable hoax. The thing carries upon its face the utmost improbability, It is, however, so cleverly con trived, so adroitly written, that a text reader in glancing hurriedly over it would pronounce it at once a simply stated account of a series of most calamitous occurrences, from its very simplicity deserving of notice. But when we examine, in the first place, into the object of such a publication at this remote distance, and after so consi derable a period of time has elapsed, we can find no sane reason for the writer's bottling np so horrible a secret— one not made public even upon the very spot on which it occurred he tells us—and bringing it across the wide Atlantic to hand it to the English press, where it could effect naught save to give the public a most erroneous and brutal idea of a highly refined and civilised people. It was either written as a hoax, a retribution of a de scription most to such a paper as the netts ; or else for the vile purposes of party politic 3, to produce a powerful effect by being introduced just before a Presi dential election, into the columns of a paper of such careful and undoubted authority, and at the same time of so world-renowned a reputation as yours possesses." Another correspondent, "A New Englander," also doubts the truth of the affair, he says Is it not somewhat in the U.uncliausen vein of narrative for us to be told that. in every one of five (luels one of the parties `killed' outright, and the other un kjured ? No • wounds,' no halfway. work ; all as clean and complete as in a play or a tale of fiction, and the victory on the same side throughout." ta, . a 75 cv; +„: . • r: t) . 4 • G 4. —• O .., t. • '-' ~ z 4.4 cf) "- ... g .7 ° ' : - ' 4 „? g .

Savings-bank accounts will form no part of con• solidated battalion accounts ; they will be kept sepa rately by the officers commanding the depots. " 12. When it is practicable, a separate orderly-room will be allotted to each depot, or one room for ail the de pots forming a battalion, in which the duties referred to above and in paragrapn 37 may be concurrently con ducted. "13. Vacancies occurring among the non-commissioned officers are to be filled up by the promotion of the most deserving individuals in the regiment when it is serving at home, or where ready communication can be had with bead-quarters when the service companies are abroad. In other cases the officer commanding the depot batta lion wil exercise his own discretion in filling up vacancies at the dept from those men with the battalion, belong ing, of course, to the regiment in which the vacancy occurs, and paying dae deference to the recommendation of the senior officer of each regimental depot. " 14. Officers employed on the recruiting service or at the Royal Military College are to be considered as belonging to the depot, and are to be reported accord ingly in the proper column in the returns. " 15. All newly-appointed officers are to join the depot, and officers will be sent to the service companies to fill vacancies according to their position on the roster. " 16. In cases of exchange, the officer will, according to the rule of the service, join that partion of the reai ment to which the oflic,:r with whom be excLan,;ed belrn,cred. "17. When officers return home from foreign service on sick certiLate, and their absence on tbat account ex ceeds six months, they will be attached to &ha depots, and their places be filled by officers of correTonding rank from the depot. " 8. 01Beers returning home on private affairs are not to be placed on the strength of the depot without the srec:al permission of his Royal Highness the General Cothmunding-in Chief. _ _ "19. The officer commanding the depot battalion ia not to leave to the senior captain of each depot the selec tion of mon to be sect to the service companies, but will himself regulate the detachment according to the date of the euliAruent of the recruits, provided they are in .all respects fit for service. "20. With a view to prevent any misunderstanding or delay, and in order that every officer may be prepared to take his tour of duty when instructions are received for him to join the service companies, a rester is to be kept of the officers with the several ranks with the depot companies, and it is to be considered as a general rule that such officers as may have been for the longest period at home or absent from the service cosnpanie', whether on leave or with the depot, shall be the first to proceed to the service companies. "21. To insure a due observance of these orders, it is directed that, on the left side of the names of the cap tains, lieutenants, antl ensigns respectively in the monthly returns and effective states of the depot companies, the figures 1,2, 3, &c., are to be marked in red ink, denot ing the regular succession of officers of each rank to join the service companies; and the date of their joining the depot is also to be inserted in the monthly returns in the column appropriated for that purpose. "22. The formation of bands of music at the quarters of the depots is strictly forbidden, and the instructions contained in the circular memorandum of Feb. 12, 1845, are to be enforced. Four drummers being allowed on the establishment of depots, six acting drummers will be per mitted, thus giving 10 drummers and acting drummer', a number considered sufficient to meet the demands whibh may occasionally be made by the service companies. "23. As under the system of forming depots into bat talions a staff will be authorised for each battalion, the major and assistant-surgeon, heretofore posted to the depots, will remain with bead-quarters, and no acting regimental staff e ther of officers or non-commissioned officers will be required. "24. The returns formerly prescribed to be furnished by the service and depot companies respectively when the head-quarters were abroad, will also be furnished when both portions of the segiment are at home. "25. Commanding officers of depot battalions cannot have too strong a sense of the importance of their corn. mandr. The efficiency of the service companies of regi ments—a matter of first importance—will in a great de gree depend upon their exertions and abilities. "26. All young officers will, in the first instance (as directed in art. 15), join their respective depots, there to be taught the rudiments of their profession, and on tae degree of attention paid to their instruction will de pend their future advancement and their value as officers. 27. Exclu6ive of the ordinary drill, commanding offi cers will be held responsible that ail are well acquainted with those parts of their duty contained in paragraphs 1 to 9, inclusive, of the circular memorandum dated the 4th of July, 1851 ; and for this purpose it is incumbent upon them to assemble the officers at least once a week to be examined by the majors or themselves on the sub jects there enumerated. Commanding officers should also encourage young officers to qualify themselves in the higher branches stated in the circular above alluded to, without a knowledge of which they cannot expect pro motion. If any officer especially distinguishes himself in zeal in the acquisition of professional knowledge, and is considered to be a competent instructor of others, a special report is to be made to the Inspector General. "28. The system of 'squadding' should never be lost sight of. Every subaltern and serjeant should possess a squadbook, containing the names and numbers of each man in his squad, together with the number of his arms and accoutrements, which, under the order of the 17th of April, 1856, should be the same. They are expected to be acquainted with all men of the squad and to give an account of them when required. "29. Commanding officers of regiments will nominate as the senior officer of the depot the captain whom they may consider best qualified for the post, without refer ence to his standing in the regiment; the other three captains will in the first instance be the three juniors of that rank. "Mess committees are enjoined to see that the trades men are paid weekly. "In the event of the officers' messsmen being a sol dier, of course no credit should be given to him, as the credit of the regiment should be cried down as provided by the Mutiny Act,----By command, "G. A. WETHER ALL, Adjutant• General." The Medical Director-General of the Army, Dr. A. Smith, arrived at Chatham oa Saturday morning for the purpose of making an inspection of the military hospitals at that garrison, consistinc; of Fort Pitt Hospital, the Garrison Hospital, and the Sapplemental Hospital. The Director-General, accompanied by Dr. J. R. Taylor, C. 8., deputy-inspector•general of military hospitals, made a minute inspection of the whole of the hospitals, and assured Dr. Taylor and the other principal officers of the several hospitals that ho was much pleased with the state of the hospitals and the result of his examination. The Daring, 12, Com. G. J. Napier (1352), was towed to Chatham nock ard from the Nore on Frday evening by the African steamer, fir the purpose of being paid oft•. The Daring has been in commission several years, having been attached to the West India squadron, under the command of Rer - ,r Admiral A. Fanshawe, C. 8., Com mander in Chief at that station. She left Jamaica on the 27th of August, and arrived at the Nore on the 15th inst. Maj'zsty's ship Princess Rlyal, 91, Capt. Gifford, went of out of Portsmouth harbour on Saturday after noon, and anchored at Spithead ; as did the Urgent, steam troop,hip, Commander Phillips, to await further orders. Her Majesty's steamsloop Fury, 6, Commander Leckie, was swung for the adjustment of her compasses in Ports mouth harbour on SAurday, prior to receiving orders to proceed on service. The steam gunboat Bustard, Lieut. Collinson, left Portsmouth on Saturday for the westward. The Eying Fish, 6, screw despatch gunboat, Commander Roderic Dew, went out of Portsmouth harbour on Satur day to continue her sore experiments. Her illijesty'a ship Raleigh, 50, Commodore the lion. Keppel, C. 8., is manned all but a few ratings, and 's ill be able to leave early next mouth for the East India and China station. A letter from Greytown, Nicaragua, dated the 20,:h ult., gives the following movements of the British squa dron :—" The Imperieuse, 51, Capt. Watson, arrived on Wedneiday, the 17th, from Aspinwall, and found lying here the Orion, 91, Capt. Erskine ; the Pioneer, 6, Com mander Mends, in the outer anchorage . ; the Archer, 17, Capt. Heathcote ; Cossack, 20, Capt. Cockburn ; Intre pid, 6, Commander W. Wood ; and Victor, 6, Comman der De Horsey, with the Dee mail packet in the harbour. The Pioneer sailed on the 18th ; the Arrogant, 46, Capt. Lyster, is expected daily from Jamaica with a collier ; the ships had completed provisions from an American vessel chartered here for that purpose. I have seen by the papers that the shipping in the West Indies is reported to have been suffering much from yellow fever ; it is true that two or three of tie ships have had fever on board, and there have been some fatal oases, but .1 am happy in being able to tell you that the squadron off Greytown has been and is at this moment healthy." The screw steamship St. Jean d'Acre, 101, Captain George St. Vincent King, from the Baltic, last from Portsmouth, arrived on Saturday at Plymouth, where her crew iiro to b 3 paid *I; The screw mortar-frigate Forth, 12, C a pt. L or d J o h n Hay, C. 8., was warped to the sheer-hulk in Hamoaze on Saturday, and had her masts taken out. The crew will be paid off at Plymouth on Wednesday, and she will be placed in the second-class steam reserve. The screw steam-ship Exmouth, 91, Captain Harty Byres, C. 8., in Plymouth Sound, is ready for sea, and will probably sail to-eaorrow (Tuesday) for Lisbon and Cadiz. The screw steam-ship Cmiar, 90, Captain John Robb, frOm Portsmouth, is expected to join the Exmouth in the Channel. During the last week the City of London has been deluged with letters from Mr. Sergeant Mere wether, town-clerk, announcing that all persons on the Parlia mentary register who will repair to the chamberlain's. office, Guildhall, between the hours of 11 and 3, on any day during the present month, will be admitted to the freedom of the City, and be put upon the poll to vote for aldermen and common councilmen without any charge. On Wednesday there was, in consequence, a great rusb to the chamberlain's office, and during the greater part of the day the chamberlain's large room was filled with applicants waiting their turn. It appears that so early a compliance with the town-clerk's invitation had not been anticipated, and the requisite preparations had not been made for the reception of the applicants. Upwards of 240 were admitted to the freedom, and a great many were tired of waiting and went away without under going the caremony. On Thursday morning very effi cient arrangements were ma :e by the chamberlain, as sisted by Mr. John Sewell, the clerk of the chamber. Additional clerks were put on at different tables, and at no time of the day was inconvenient pressure in the slightest degree experienced, although upwards of 200 applied for the privilege. One of the applicants produced the town-clerk's letter, which bore a number above 18,000, and it was supposed these figures represented the number of persons entitled to admission ; but upon inquiry it appeared that the actual number of persons upon the register, who are not already either freemen or liverymen, is not supposed to exceed 3,000. The free men entitled to vote at ward elections are estimated at about 5,000 to 6,000. The public are entirely indebted to the existing Court of Common Council for thus throwing open the doors of the corporation to the whole of the ratepaying inhabi tants of the City, It is every day spoken of as a fact, significant of the growing spirit of liberality, that the gentlemen who were most forward in advancing t 1243 onward movement were some of the oldest members of the ;.crporation, 'mown ;as :steady sticklers for the ancient rights and privileges of their order. It is supposed, that 4,000 or 5,000 at least will take advantage of the proffered boon during the present month, so as to get their names on the register for the ensuing year, in order that they may take part in the elections of next St. Thomas's-day, which will exert a considerable influence over the coming changes in the corporate constitution of the City. It is looked upon to be an unfortunate circumstance that the town•salerk's letter, communicating so important a fact to such a large number of persons, should not have been sent out till within three weeks of the last day allowed by law for the registration on the municipal list. The act of Par liament was passed during the last session, and it appears difficult to find a sufficient reason for postponing the announcement of the fact until the middle of October. We have been given to understand that during the past week there have been from 1,000 to 1,500 persons who have availed themselves of the privilege. If, as is anti cipated by some, the mass of persons entitled to admis sion should put off their applications to the last week, there may not be time to get the names on the register of the different wa r d s , w hi c h mus t b e ma d e out by the ward clerks and signed by the alderman on or before the I,t of November. Such neglect will be visited with the invalidity of the privilege for the whole year. The paddle-wheel steam-sloop Inflexible, 6, Comman der Corbett, is appointed to leave Plymouth Sound to- morrow for the East Indies and China, and will be ac e miptnied by the gunboat Starling. The crew of the flagship Impregnable, 104, Captain Charles Wise, at Plymouth, housed lower yards and topmasts on Thursday for the Winter. The steam-gunboat Starling, 2, from Portsmouth, ar• rived oh Wednesday at Plymouth, where her defects will be made good prior to sailing for the East Indies. The Danish screw frigate Niels Juel, 43, Commodm e C. Treniger, was towed alongside the hulk in Hamoaze on Thursday, and on Friday received her mainmast, which bad been fished at the Devonport dockyard. On Saturday her crew got lower rigging over masthead, top mast on end, and rigging set. The hired transport schooner Maria Mice, Capt. Thos. Bishop, with Government stores from the Thames, for Corfu, put into Plymouth Sound on Saturday, with loss of jibboom, &c The Devastation, 6 guns, paddlewheel steam sloop Conn-pander Edward Marshall, left Sheerness yesterday morning under Admiralty instructions to call at Ports mouth for her final orders.

MURDEROUS HIGHWAY ROBBERY.-LOSS OP TIVO HUNDRED POUNDS. lOn Thursday night last, a murderous and cowardly robbery was committed on the person of Mr. John Whittaker, farmer and cattle-dealer, of Thryberg, near Rotherham. Mr. Whittaker had been to York cattle fair, and had returned to Masbrough by a late train, arriving there about eleven o'clock. At York ha had purchased a number of she e p, w hi c h h e h ad ordered to be sent to Swinton, but the money he had left, aft ing for the ca ttl e , amoun t e d to the lar g e sumof? ry. 2 p o a ol '. Alter alighting at M as b roug h , which is abou , from Rotherham, h e p rocee d e d to walk thither, iteniridle ing, in consequence of the large amount of ca in his poss ess i on , t o remain there the whole of the he hh ad He went to the Wheatshetf public-house for that purp o se, but the plac e being closed he went forward. O n hi s wa y he called a t the Packlorse, at the bottom of Doncaster gate, and th ere d ran k a portion of three pennyworth cf gin. He then proceeded homewards, Thryberg being about three miles from the place. Oa arriving at a place called Dalton Brook, where there is a public house, he again tried to get bed, but being closed he again went forward. The remainder of the way was very lonely, and before he had got very far be saw four men standing at the bottom of Winney-hill. They were from 80 to 100 yards before him. When he got up to them the men surrounded him, and tried to secure him. lie struggled with them, and the robbers repeatedly dealt him very heavy blows on the head. At length they got him on the ground, and he said to them, "If you murder me you will have to account for it another time. He stuck fast to one of the robbers by the leg, and felt that he trembled very much, but the villain, in order to render Mr. Whittaker insensible, struck him repeatedly and violently over the head with a whip stock, to the end of which was fastened a ball of load. At length the fellows had secured money in gold, and silver, to the amount of about 2001. After securing this large sum the robbers had the impudence to coolly ask, " Have you got a watch ?" Ile had not, and the thieves then dragged him, bleeding profusely from several wounds on the head, a little further up the road. Traces of blooi were afterwards found on the place where he had been dragged, and also the murderous weapon with which be bad been beaten. When he was left by the fellows Mr. Whittaker was in a very weak and exhausted condition. Ho managed, however, to creep along tae road to the house of Mr. Stringer, mil ler, which is about 400 yards from the spot where the robbery was committed. The servant, a young man named Wm. Widdowson, was up, and immediately l e t him in. Some neighbours were then called up, and Dr. Blythman, of Swinton, was sent for. He was then con veyed home, where the doctor saw him about 3 o'clock, the robbery having been committed about 12. Every attention was paid to him, but he still lies in a very precarious condition, and it is feared that he will become delirious. So far, we are sorry to say, nothing has been heard of the heartless villains. INSURANCE COMPANIES. Dividend Amount Name of Company. per of Paid. Price. Annum. Share. Z s. d. Z s. d.

DETERMINED SUICIDE.—A great degree of excitement was created in Queenstown on Wednesday evening when it became known that a foreigner had poisoned himself at Toma.ssini's Italian Hotel. It appears that the dece aced, who was a general favourite with all who know him, was a Norwegian interpreter. His name was Madan, and on the above evening he went into the hotel and asked for a glass of wine, saying at th e same time, in a rather jocose manner, that he would poison himself. The barmaid, thinking he was jesting, sup plied the wine, when she observed the deceased empty something from a phial into the glass. This he did not use, and returning it to the young woman, said, "This won't do. It's too thick • thro w i t away, and give me a glass of sherry. He then got the sherry, with which he mixed the contents of the small bottle, and expired shortly after. Meldall, who was a Dane by birth, has been residing iu Queenstown for a great number of years, and was much respected for the propriety of his conduct and his kind and courteous manner, He was a married man. —Cork, Reporter, Country 'Ma.,rlKci.,9, ILIDDit.J.;:i.or CORN 21AR,KET—ocr. 17. wuRA.T.

A correspondent in Mat a m oros, Mexico, e fur nishes a statement of the itical influen ces w hi c h produced the late revolution ' in the northern por tion of that country, and chronicles the progress of the Vidaurri movement again st President Comon fort,it date d the 20th and 27th in a series of letters p n c f ars that General of Aug. and 6th of Sept. ,tiotni Comonfort from the ground Vidaurri demanded the remov a l ) ]. the Position of President Substitute that he had violated the plan of A ' ide the endea vouring to render all the States Y enti a ' entirely subset.. vieut to central rule. Vidaurri also demanded rirrees inauguration of Juan Alvarez as pro tempore, until the new constitution, then u nder discussion, should be formally passed by and promulgated. Comonfort denying these ng po res i 4 tions, ITidaurri openly denied his authority, and says he is prepared, as Commander-in-Chief of the army of the North, to resist his order by force if necessary. He has managed in the meantime to chastise the Camanches in Nuevo Leon and Coahuila Without aid from the general Government. Col. Martin Zayas, of the National Guards of Tamauli pas, aided Vid a urri, by his exampl e, in the rebellion, Mexico whilst General Garza had 'arrive d at Tam p ico from city, 'of them, an , in order , if possible, to extinguish both and secure Comonfortl prestige.

We have intelligence from Nicaragua and other parts of Central America, received by the steam ship Tennessee, which left San Juan del Norte on the 22d nit., touched at Key West on the 27th, and arrived THE SUBMARINE SYPHON. On Saturday an experiment was made in the Thames in front of the new Houses of Parliament, with a novel and ingecious divi g apparatus bearing tnis designation, the invention of M. Danduran, a French civil engineer, now on a visit to this country, and already known in Paris for several useful contriv ances. The trial of this instrument, made under the di rection of M. D an d uran h i mself, was witnessed byseveral scientific gentlemen and others well able to form a cor rect opinion of its merits, including Mr. Charlier, the secretary of the Royal Humane Society ; Mr. Page, the principal engineer at the new bridge, Westminster ; and Mr. Graham, the resident engineer there, the two latter of whom have had great experience in the operations of diving-bells while the foundations of the intended struc• tare were being laid. A complete and efficient apparatus for conducting submarine operations with ease, at con siderable depths below the surface, has long been a desi deratum. The ordinary diving-bell, diving•helmet, and other similar contrivance?, though answering the purpose for which they were designed with more or less efficiency, have never, it is said, overcome a difficulty incident to them all, arising from the increased pressure of the air within the apparatus as it descends lower in the water, which renders it unsafe for a human being to descend much more than about 40 feet, for, with the pressure increasing at a rapid rate as the instrument sinks, the diver, without some means of counteracting it, would soon reach a limit at which respiration would be impos sible. This great difficulty has been overcome by the con trivance of M. Danduran, which is as simple as it is effective. His apparatus consists of a copper bell, in shape not unlike an ordinary umbrella partially col lapsed, fitted with glass plates, and sufficiently large to cover the diver to the waist. Beneath this is slung a saddle of lead, weighing nearly 1501 b., which serves the double purpose of a convenient seat for the diver and of sinking the bell in a vertical direction. A strong gotta percha tube, about an inch and a half in diameter, is passed through the bell, entering at one Bide and coming out at the corresponding one on the other, on a line with the mouth of the diver when he is seated inside. Both ends of this tube are kept above water, whatever depth the diver may descend, and to that por tion of it which comes in contact with his lips a flex ible mouthpiece is attached, perforated like an ordinary respirator, by which he is not only enabled to br,atti with freedom, but to hold verbal communication with the persons in charge of the apparatus at the surface, who are thus put in a position to direct his submarine operations with comparative ease. When, under the existing practice, a diver dons his helmet and his cam . brous diving dress of stout leather, with its leaden cuirass and his immense sabots with soles of lead an inch thick, le gr e mtly iealmost borne down by the enormous weight he carries, whi c h, th oug h a bsolutely necessary to sink him, impedes the freedom of his operations under constantly Besid es , h e i s on l y k ep t a li ve by a n air pump opweroartkioinng, he might the surface; and through any with accidentits to this, or want of attention in those charged commu nicating with those on d m ec i k g hauled above water ht no d r ie th b ey efo w r i e th la h e im c , ou ex hl ce b p e t by tugging a rope ; He has, too, no means of directions they must p and they want to give him fresh diver, on the othee . h a l u d pt s o . t com municate them and the n n l ' hun the surfacesttroidehisimmerse him again. M. Dan duran'sleaden saddle, habited only in 1 jauntily a a light waterproof dress, with his arms and legs sits on the lead Which at perfect libeity, for, unlike the man in the heline a t ys e sinks him instead of sustaining e • e t r h c e o u tabure withon deckth i or i i nt his shoulde , s .and feet, and he can always hold v:rh it e people on deck. To one extremity of a fanning apparatus is attached, resembling a small coffee-mill in size and appearance, and when this in motion a current of air as the ordinary p res sure,i.set m atter what depth he may be, is convey e d past no p the m outh of the diver, which he can breathe with carn• fort. The chief uses of the apparatus is to examine ships' sides and bottoms while at sea, to discover and stop leaks, to recover lost property, to fish coral, sponges, and mother of pearl, to guide the l a yi ng of electric cables, and especially toinspect them and dis cover the point of separation when the electric com munication is broken, to which purpose it seems admir ably adapted. a The French Minister of Marine a pp oi nted the invention, and t heir re p ort was of so favourable a severl commissions to examine into t he ca p abilities of nature that orders were given . to M. Danduran to supp , y some of the French seaports' with the apparatus. 13r ing- the experiments o n Saturda y Mr. Page and Mr. Graham, the engineers at Westminster -bridge, expressed a Strong opinion of its vast superiority over the comm on diving h e l met, o f w hich, it may be added , it is little more than a third the cost.

CLARENDON CONSOLIDATED MINING COMPANY OP JAMAIOA.—On Friday the adjourned general meeting of this company was field at the London Tavern, Bishops gate ; Mr. J. W. Cater 'in the chair. The chairman explained that the meeting was called for the purpose of taking the opinion of the proprietors as to the necessity of bringing the company under the operation of the New Joint-Stock Companies Act with limited liability. He considered there could be only one opinion in this case, that limited liability should be applied to companies of this description. The alteration might make the di rectors more careful, but the proprietors might rely they would use their utmost exertions for their benefit. A resolution was then unanimously passed, bringing the company under the operation of the Joint-Stock Com panies Act 1856, with limited liability.
