I THE M 'UNNEL. Closing Price. 'Business done Paid. SUN OFFICE, St teen o'gock. The Patrie publishes the following letter from one its writers, who lately visited the works going on at Mont Cenis :—" The cutting of the tunnel advances day and night, with a regularity which excites the admiration of engineers. At the coal mencement of this great enterprise, only the pickaxe and blasting were employed; but since the machines, invented by MM. Grattone and Sommellier l were brought into use, the cutting of the rock has been carried on with remarkable celerity. The machines, which are worked by compressed air, are very ingenious ; they are each of 250 horse power, and act simultaneously on both sides of the mountain. They set in motion different instruments of great power, which operate in any direction that may be required. The section of the tunnel is about 60 metres, and when the cutting was commenced only 12 men could, from the limited space, be occupied at each end, the work they did being only 40 centime tres (about 16 inches) per day, but the machines em ploy a force equal to 2,500 men, and cut out daily two metres, that is, one at each end. In a few months arrangements will be made for making the men em ployed relieve each other every eight hours, and an electric light will be established, and then the ex traction of rock will be three metres per day. The tunnel will be 12 kilometres (71 miles) in length. It is 1,330 metres above the level of the sea, and 1,060 below the summit of Mont Cenis. It will gradually rise - 1 - 2 per 1,000 to the centre, descending from that point towards Savoy on the one side and towards Piedmont on the other. In the centre of the way a small canal has been formed for carrying off the waters which filter through the rock. Every fort night an examination is made for the purpose of ascertaining the direction of the tunnel and level of the roadway, instruments of great precision being employed in the operation. Thus far the cutting on both sides of the mountain has been found to coin cide exactly. The rock is easily penetrated by the machines, When holes of from 40 to 60 centimetres (16 to 23 in.) have been bored, they are filled with gunpowder; the workmen retire to a distance of about 100 metres, and strong.doors in iron are closed to prevent fragments of the rock from flying out. Then the mine is fired, and masses of rock are heard to strike against the doors. Afterwards a current of compressed air is driven into the tunnel to expel the smoke, so as to allow the workmen to enter. The removing of the fragments of rocks is effected in the way employed on cuttings of railways, and the machines are again set in motion." 58 62 971 98/1 STOCKTON RACES.—(This Dal'. 4i 42 d (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. ,) BILLINGHAM STAKES. 6 7 75 80 65 70 65 70 5 6} ••••.. ...... 1 Upperhand Flash in the Pan ... ...... . . 2 HARDWICKE STAKES.

LATEST PARTICULARS THIS DAY. We have unfortunately this morning to record the death of another person from the injuries received at this acci dent. The name of the person is Clara Clements, who, at the time of her death, was an inmate of University Hospital. Sarah Essex and Charles Cox, two of the sufferers, this morning were in a very bad condition, but the whole of the others were progressing as favourably as could be ex pected. Since the accident thousands of persons have visited the scene, and this morning the numbers seemed to increase. Daring this morning a large number of persons have been engaged constructing a new line from the top to the bottom of the embankment. Up this steep ascent the engine is to be drawn and to be placed upon the lin:: in the course of the afternoon. THE INQUEST. The coroner's inquisition into the deaths of Elizabeth Jelliss, Eva Stacey, Elizabeth Allen, Rhoda Bowler, Richard Saunders, Edward Hill, John Yeomans, John Greenwood, George Greenwood, Charles Standing, Sarah English, and Clara Clements, was opened this day, at the Elephant and Castle, Old St. Pancras-road. In the absence of Mr. Wakley, the coroner for the Eastern Division of Middlesex, Mr. Humphreys opened the inquiry. Before the jury were sworn Mr. Humphreys asked whe ther any of the gentlemen summoned were interested in either of the railways to which the line belonged. No answer having been made the jury were sworn, and Mr. Winkworth was elected foreman. The Coroaer said the jury were doubtless aware that the present inquiry was relative to an accident that had oc curred on an adjacent railway. He proposed in the first instance that the jury should view the several bodies which were lying in the hospitals, and that they should then proceed to the scene of the accident in order that they might get the best local intelligence, and then that they should return and open the inquiry. Murray, the summoning officer, said he had engaged a larger room for the inquiry near to the Prince of Wales, in Harmood-street. The Coroner thought better accommodation could be had at the Vestry Hall. Ho therefore gave directions that an application should be made for the use of the room for the purposes of the inquiry. Murray said the vestry did not meet till two o'clock. The Coroner said at that hour then the application should be made. lie would open the inquiry on their return at the Prince of Wales, but he hoped the adjournments would be held at the Vestry-hall. Mr. Metcalf appeared for the London and North- Western and the North London Railway Com panies, and said it was the wish of the direc tors that the fullest inquiry should be made into the unfortunate circumstance, and for that purpose every faci lity in their power would be given. Mr. Lewis (of Ely Tlace) appeared for the relatives of Sarah English, and Mr. Charles 'Wilson appeared for those of Elizabeth Allen. _ _ _ The jury then proceeded in an omnibus t 3 visit the diffe rent hospitals where the bodies were lying, and also to the spot where the accident occurred. After the lapse of two hours the jury re-assembled at the Prince of Wales Tavern, Harmood -street, Camden-town. The Coroner said the only further proceeding he would take that day would be the identification of the bodies, and then adjourn till Friday next at 12 o'clock. The following evidence was then adduced: — Charles Allen, 10, Alfred-terrace, Stratford New Town, ship felt maker, said—l have seen the body of Elizabeth Allen. It is that of my wife. She was aged 60 years. I was not a passenger by the train, and know nothing about the accident. William Collier, 61, Judd-street, Brunswick-square, mo deller-1 have seen the body of Emma English ;it is that of my aunt. Her age is 41. She is the wife of James English, whc, has sustained a severe injury from the acci dent. He is at present lying at the Royal Free Hospital. John Robert Bowen, 189, Brick- lane, licensed victualler —I knew Charles Standing very well. I have seen the body at the Middlesex Hospital. It is his. By trade the deceased was a bricklayer. The persons who were to identify the bodies of the two lads named Greenwood were not in attendance. No one appeared to identify the body of Mary Sellis. Edward Oliver, 2, Somers-street, Old Ford—The de ceased, Rhoda Bowler Oliver, was my wife. She was 37 years of age. The witnesses to identify the bodies of Sarah Clements, Eva Stanley, John Yeoman, Richard Saunders, and Edwd. Hill were not in attendance. The Coroner then said—That is as far as I can carry the case to-day, and I now propose that the inquiry be ad journed till Friday next. The inquiry was then adjourned. Melons are more than usually abundant this year at Marseilles. One small commune, Cavaillow, in the Vau cluse, supplied the Marseilles market with 528,093 red melons, 1,944,776 green melons, and 84,000 NI ater melons. These melons, amounting in number altogether to 5,437,896, were sold, on an average, at 2f. 50c. the dozen, representing a round sum of 1,200,000 f. A magnificent revenue, when one considers how small a surface such a crop covers. Some gardners boast of having already realised 25,000 f. by their melons, and the season is not yet expired. A CHINESE LUNCHEON. —This lunch was com posed of fruits and tea. Apples, pears, peaches, Japanese nuts, a kind of yellow tomata and grapes ; then dried fruits, jububes, stewed apples and pears, oranges, and raisins, formed the bill of fare. The dried fruits and the confections were served on plates of fine porcelain. The fruits in sea son, cut into small pieces, appeared also on compotiers of porcelain. The service for each guest consisted of a saucer for a plate ; a little silver cup, about the size of a thimble, for the samshoo ; a teacup, with its silver saucer and por celain cover, and a knife and two-pronged fork, to transfix and seize the fruit which was served in the compotiers. Each dish, or compotier, was supported by a carved root and four perfume-burners, in raised enamel, which threw around the odour of pastilles. The servants, whose duty it was to change each guest's cup of tea directly after ho had carried it to his lips, waited in vain for the moment when we swallowed the villainous samshoo and they could refil our miscioscopic goblets. Some pastry was brought as a finish to the collation. They were made with lard, which still flowed from their golden crusts. We found among these indescribable cakes, which excited our mistrust, some puddings and cakes which were more suit able to oui European palates. The feast was crowned by the unexpected arrival o f a h amper o f aaora ted lemonade, which the worthy intend an t , anx i ous t o ser ve Europeans with liquor to their taste, had procured from some Euro pean merchant, who had persuaded him that that poor beverage was the ambrosia of the barbarians.—Keroutees a/finest Expedition, lare gailways. 00 Xtlantic& St Laiirence Bom.,Baroda&.Cent Ind Gu. 5 per cent,. 8 Do, Do. 13 Buffalo and L aKe Huron 94 iDo.

On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 4-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4291 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.81 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 6-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 107} to 1074 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is against England. But, after making allowance for loss of interest and charges of transport, the present rate leaves no profit on sending gold to the United States. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—An inquest was held last evening before Mr. Langham, deputy coroner for West minster, in Charing-cross Hospital, touching the death of a private in the 2d battalion Grenadier Guards, stationed at St. George's Barracks, named Jas. Hutchins. John Simp son, a private in the same battalion, said that about 10 minutes to one that afternoon he was coming out of the barrack-room on the third floor, when he observed the de ceased quite outside the window, with the exception of the left foot, and before he could stop him he had got quite out and turned to the left of the parapet. He looked out after him,and found that he had fallen. He ran down and saw him impaled on the railin gs, the spike entering his stomach and coming out of his back. He had seen him only five minutes before, and believed him to be quite sober. The height from the window to where he was picked up was 42 feet. It was also stated in evidence that he had performed the same feat be fore, and said that he considered it worthy of Blondin. A verdict of " Accidental death" was recorded. PUGILISM.—THOMAS TYLER AND WILLIAM SHAW FOR £lOO A-SlDE.—This passage of arm took place yesterday, but was not brought to a definite termination. At the end of a long journey, no sooner had the company alighted, than thu " rural constabulary" put in an appear ance, and fresh arrangements had to be made. After steaming about for some hours, the ring, for the second time, was pitched. The first round lasted ten minutes and a half, but while they were yet occupied with the second the police again came on the scene of action, so that the contest was once more stopped, having lasted, up to the time the combatants left the ring, 27 minutes 30 seconds. The battle had not lasted long enough for the least adv an tage to be obtained on either side. Neither man was in the slightest hurt. It was impossible to make any other attempt that day, therefore the referee arranged for a fresh meeting on a future occasion. IMPORTANT TO VOLUNTEERS.—At the Bristol Council-house yesterday Mr. F. Shipton, solicitor, applied to the sitting magistrates for a summons against John Her roll, the toll-collector at Princes-street-bridge, under the 25th and 25th Vic., cap. 126, entitled " An Act to exempt Volunteers from payment of tolls," &c., which received the Royal assent on the 6th of August last. By the several sections of this Act it is provided that any toll collector tak ing toll of volunteers in uniform going to drill or parade, or on duty, shall be liable to a penalty of £5, which penalty the magistrates have no power to mitigate. From the in formation laid it appeared that the defendant had demanded toll of several volunteers on passing the bridge, but on the provisions of the Act in question being explained to him, he promised that no such demand should be made for the future ; and Mr. Shipton, who stated that his principal ob ject in appealing to the magistrates was to obtain publicity for the rights awarded to volunteers by the Legislature, ex pressed himself satisfied, and withdrew his application. A WINDFALL—CorporaI William Harwood, of the 3d company of the 26th Regiment, has just had the good fortune to come into possession of upwards of £3,000. The mother of the lucky corporal was bequeathed a portion of the fortune of her uncle, the late Captain Whittaker, of the Bth Hussars, who resided at Accrington, Lancashire, and died in 1859. It amounted to more than £12,000, and on Mrs. Harwood's death, which happened about a fort night ago, fell to be divided among her four surviving children, of whom Corporal Harwood is the youngest. lie is a native of Bolton, and entered the army about six or seven years ago by enlistment into the 68th Regiment, from which he volunteered into the Cameronians at the close of the Crimean war. Corporal Harwood, who we may mention is married, has purchased his discharge, and leaves his regiment, we understand, on Monday next.— Edinburgh Courant. The liquidators of the Caisse General des Chemins de Fer yesterday brought an action before the Tribunal of Commerce, against a gentleman named de Jaconet, to ob tain from him 270,6911 r. for the balance of an account current which he had left unpaid, the principal item of which consisted of the purchase of 1,000 shares of the Caisse made for him by his order. He disputed the claim on the ground that about five weeks after the purchase he had given Mires an order to sell the shares, but that it had not been executed ; also that both purchase and sale formed a gambling transac tion, of which the Tribunal could not take cognisance. In the event, however, of the Tribunal deciding against him, he prayed that Mires should be condemned to indemnify him for not having sold the shares in due time. The Tri bunal ordered him to pay the sum claimed, and rejected his demand on Mires. The grandson of Charlemagne, the Emperor Lothaire, tired of reigning, abdicated the throne, as is known, and became a monk in the Benedictine monastry at Cologne, and died there. His remains were interred in the chapel of that edifice, and his tomb for several centuries pointed out as one of the curiosities of the city. At length the chapel was demolished, and a new building erected on the site. In the demolition the tomb disappeared, and all the searches afterwards made to discover the precise spot in which the ex-Emperor was buried produced no re sult. A. few days back the high alter was removed to be replaced by a new one, and in taking down the pedestals of the chandeliers they were found to be filled with bones partly enveloped in white linen. Among the bones were found fragments of paper in a state of decomposition, but on one of them were the words " Ossa Lotharii." From this circumstance it is assumed that the bones are those of the Emperor. THE CANARY BlRD.—This pleasing bird had its origin in the pleasant climate and delightful valleys of the Canary Islands, and is now s pread throughout Europe, part of Asia, and as far as Siberia. The beauty of its form, its plummage, and its sang, united with its great docility, soon gained its admittance into the most magnificent abodes, where every one delights in rearing and preserv ing it, whilst the fairest hands are often eager to present it with the most delicate food. It was brought into our climate as early as the beginning of the sixteenth century. The arrival of the canary in Europe is thus described :—A vessel which, besides its merchandise, was bringing a num ber of these birds to Leghorn, was shipwrecked on the coast of Italy, opposite to the island of Elba, where these little birds, having been set at liberty, took refuge. The climate being favourable, they increased, and would certainly have become naturalised, had not the wish to possess them oc sioned their being (taught in such numbers, that at last they were extirpated from their new country. From this cause, Italy was the first European country where the canary was reared. At first their education was difficult, t as the proper manner of treating them was unknown ; and what tended to render them scarce was, that only the male birds were brought over ; there were no females. The ori ginal colour of the canary was grey, inclining to green on the under part of the body, and, on the whole, not unlike that of the linnet. But this has undergone so complete a c hange from domestication, difference of climate, and hybri dising with birds allied in species, that we now have cana ries of almost every colour.--Casull's Popular Ztratural gistorY4 W ROAD AFTER A SNOW STORM. Many vehicles of like construction to ours were struggling on under the same difficulties, to or from Moscow. At nine p.m. one of our horses gave up, died, and having been cut out of his traces, was left to the wolves. At eleven o'clock another burst a blood-vessel, and shared his fate. A third gave up within a mile of the town at which we intended to recruit, and finally we had to get out and walk to a place of refuge, leaving the three remaining ani mals to pull the empty carriages after us. We had in 16 hours, with three separate teams of fresh horses, accomplished the distance of 45 versts ; our pace being little better than two miles an hour. Next morning we started at six o'clock with five horses, but had soon to add a sixth. This day was like the day before it, except that we killed no horses. As daylight vanished we determined to push on during the night, but at eleven o'clock we lost the track in the dark, and stuck fast in a moun tain ridge of snow. After an hour spent in fruitless efforts at extrication, three of us set out in search of assistance. To our astonishment we presently dis covered by " the smoke that so gracefully curled" from several points at once, that we were wrecked in the midst of a straggling snow-covered village. A kind peasant gave us admittance, and sent help to our half-frozen companions. This day we made about 32 miles in 17 hours. As I had slept with the horses on the previous night, so this evening the cow gave me a part of her bed. We had passed six dead horses, some of them partially devoured, and four overturned convey ances embedded in deep snow, beyond recovery until the spring. Where the passengers were, I know not. My companions said, " God knows," and crossed themselves. All along the track we had seen evidences of distress : wrecks of sledges, horses up to their necks in drift, men digging them out. But just before starting the next morning we saw the most horrible sight of all. Opposite the hut of our poor entertainer there had been men digging, to get into a house entirely buried in snow, and they had succeeded in rescuing a family that had been four days buried. This family was none the worse for its mishap ; but the diggers had come on a sledge with its horse, driver, and two women frozen to death, and buried in the drift. They had got fast, and had perished without help in the midst of a village. Caught in the greatest fury of the storm, they had not k nown their where abouts, nor had their cries been heard. Three months after this, and when the snow disappeared, from two hundred and fifty to three hundred corpses were found, all of whom had met their death in this fearful storm upon the Moscow road alone. So I have been told, and fully believe. — Dickens's " All the Year Round." 2HE SEARCH FOR A SERVANT. A country gentleman who has been searching for a servant writes to a morning contemporary a s follows : " I selected the most prominent advertisements in your columns, and wrote to appoint the adver tisers to meet me in town. The first that called was a butler. He was a man of some personal appearance, which he evidently thought it his duty to cultivate. His loose-fitting coat was of irre proachablebhwuiestre fittingb glovesu tbuttoned o cut ; his waistcoat, no ' reach-me-dow n ,' (n w te w i d t a h as o t without at the creases, rwarc and se t b; o n hw d i s of collar eolgi spotless aortwi na p t so turned u t r b i e t m y down, and his narrow magenta tie the nearest ap proach I ever saw to what Mr. Slick called ' the titted ends of nothing whittled down.' On being ushered into the room he said he had embraced the earliest opportunity of obeying my summons.' I perceived once, like Agag, he must be ap proached delicately, and should have felt some hesitation how to catechise so refined a personage, but that I soon found the question was not whether I should engage him, but whether he would en gage me. Did he pay the bills ? Had he the entire charge of the cellar, or was there a sanctum sanctorum of which I alone kept the key ? M y answers were not satisfactory. Had I groom of the chambers? No. In such case he concluded I h a d a valet ? I suppose his scrutiny of my dress had not encouraged any exaggerated notion of the value of my exuvice,' for, on my replying that the butler was the only man out of livery, and officiated as my valet, I was a doomed man. For form's sake, hewever, he kindly consented to give me one more trial, and inquired whether, under these circum stances, it would be expected of him to bring in tea and coffee after dinner. I told him that I regretted that such would be the case, and he must, indeed, be prepared for any emergency. That I did not think it likely I should ever ask him to make the fourth in a quadrille, but that he would, in my house, be expected to do everything he was told— except feed the pigs. ' That,' said I mildly, I do myself. On looking to see the effect of my last ob servation, he was disappearing in the doorway. It is my firm belief that had I attempted to detain him he would have fled like Joseph, leaving his gar ments behind. The next applicant was a cook and housekeeper. She was•pleased slightly to touch on her autobiography, just sufficient to inform me that she had 'always lived in the best families,' and then., like the Cutler, proceeded to ascertain whether I should suit her. Her first question, also, we.s— Did she pay the bills? Did I come to town every year ? When in the country did the farm supply the house, and did I kill one sheep or two per week ? When in town did I have ' hampers of fruit and vegetables up regular, which was mostly very ill convenient ?' When my examination was at an end I said, Mrs. Jones, you were only three months at your last place, nine at the previous one, eleven at the one before that. It seems to me these are rather short periods." Oh!' said she, they were such dooses of missusses ; but in course your lady is a real lady, and keeps hirself to hirself.' Now, sir, in declining Mrs. Jones's services, it is possible I may have lost a valuable Servant, who could have cooked for me all my days, taking root in my estab lishment like the coachman immortalised by Dean Ramsay in his Reminiscenes of Scottish Character,' who, on receiving notice from his mistress, quietly replied, Na, na, my lady, I druve ye to your marriage, and I shall stay to drive ye to your burial.' Still I am glad I did not take for her a first-class ticket into Northamptonshire. This is no coloured. statement. The whole system of service as at pre sent understood in England, is rotten at the core. All play and all pay' is the cry, and meat meals five times a day and port and sherry kitchen wines,' the only maxim of the servants' hall !" FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT. FOREIGN-OFFICE, SEPT. 3.

EXPLORATION OF LABRADOR.—The expedition which was sent out in June under the auspices of the Canadian Government has returned. The party landed at the mouth of the Moisie River on June 6. A few days afterwards they set oat in canoes for the head waters of that river, which is supposed to take its rise from lakes on the summit plateau of Labrador. In three weeks the expedi tion reached a point so near the height of land that the canoes, although not drawing more than Gin. of water, were unable to ascend any further. The country is described as very mountainous, and to a great extent destitute of trees. The Moisie River is a rapid torrent, absolutely un navigable for canoes or other craft. The route conse quently lay through an ancient path, long pursued by the Indians, from the interior to the coast. It follows a chain of small lakes extending from the main branch of the Moisie to the east branch of the same river, thence to the height of land. The entire plateau of Labrador, which is very broad and uniform, is full of large lakes, and the rivers flow for more than 300 miles on this plate au or table -land into the Atlantic on the north-east coast of the Labrador, having a general direction parallel to that of the coast on the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The information which has been obtained by this expedition respecting the hitherto unknown interior of Labrador will be an addition to our geographical know ledge of British North America of much interest.—auta dian News.

AMERICAN YOUNG LADYISIIL (From Bentley's Miscellany for September.) Clumsy, coarse features, striking deformities, original and characteristic ugliness, are found neither among American men nor women. No one could dream there of asserting that "le laid c'est le beau." The great majority of women are mode rately pretty, very passable, or pleasingly pretty. Still their charms are concentrated more in their features than in their demeanour, figures, or cor poreal shape. A classical bust, rounded arms, and well developed limbs are the greatest rarity among them. You may gaze on a hundred and not dis cover one shapely waist. The effeminate manner of these anything but Spartan republican ladies, their horror of bodily movement and physical exertion, produce neglect and decay of the entire muscular system. Walking in the open air is some thing quite unusual with them, for in their coun try, where there are no footpaths or promenades, they move about in carriages, and rarely on horse back. The rest of the long day they spend, after the fashion of ladies in Eastern harems, on softly cushioned sofas, or in their favourite rocking chairs by the fireside. Full beauties ala Rubens are never found among them, and equally rare are those graceful, well-rounded, elastic, Junonic forms, which may still be seen in Italy and other Euro pean countries. The ladies of Kentucky alone offer an exception to this, but the rest all resemble tulips, in whom only the head delights. The intercourse of American gentlemen with these pretty, pale, elegant ladies is—so long as they are unmarried—of a nature that would not be tolerated in England. They stand in far too bold and confidential a footing for our notions. English parents, it is known, grant their daughters far more liberty than the French do, who keep theirs in a convent till it is time to marry them. Among the Americans, where the Republican feeling of inde pendence is added to that inheritance from English habits, and is born with children of both sexes, this liberty has necessarily degenerated, just as you find much across the ocean which in England would press out of the ground like a tender, sweet-tasted aspa ragus head, but in America has shot up wildly and luxuriantly into a long hard stalk, with multitu dinous side-shoots and seeds. The emancipation of younn , women in America is as perfect as it well can be • they hardly allow their parents the right of guardianship. They take care of themselves : they are allowed to receive the visits of young gentlemen, who again introduce other gentlemen without con sulting the parents. The young ladies make ap pointments with these gentlemen, and ask them to call in the morning, or to take tea, even should papa and mamma not be at home, or happen to be engaged in another part of the house. If there be any especial beauty among the daughters of a family, she assumes the mastery so utterly that, so to speak, everything is done in her name. Even though the official invitations to balls and parties are made in the parents' name, the daughter has most certainly selected the candidates. She will also invite any one she pleases, or may be introduced to, without asking papa and mamma. When young people arrange to visit any house in the evening they do not say, as in Paris, " Shall we pay a visit to Madame N. to-night ?" but, '' Shall we go and call on Miss A. or Miss B. ?" The good papa, some rum-bibbing member of Congress, or senator bothered with political committees, is not at all taken into consideration. On entering the house, the daughter is naturally seen sitting in the centreof the sofa, and the conversation is exclusively addressed to her. In many cases the mother is quite passed over. If she be all old and wearisome, she generally sits with grandmamma, warming herself at the fire. It often happens that awlttrhanger terms I may stand on very intimate e rin to s the mother.

Morin presented a report on the ventilation of theatres, drawn up by a commission appointed by the Prefect of the Seine, under the presidency of 111. Dumas. Several projects for the ventilation and warming of the new theatres on the Place du Chatelet having been, sent in, the commission had to make various experiments, in order to ascertain their relative merits. Asregards warming the report proposes the adoption of the air-calorifere, on the ground that its use will be but of secondary importance after the admission of the public, on account of the warmth developed by the spectators themselves and by the gas lights , - Tile quantity of new air to be admitted, in order to obtain sufficient ventilation, is fixed at 30 cubic metres per hour and per spectator. The chief difficulty, however, to be solved was the means of admission and emission of air. After numerous experiments the commission has decided that cold or warm air may be admitted without inconve nience to the spectators from the ceiling of each box, through orifices from 12 to 15 centimetres in diameter. The evacua tion of the vitiated air may be effected at the further end of each box, near the floor. But in order to obtain the quantity of air required, an annular zone of orifices is to be opened on the stage concentrically with the foot-lights, and of such a size as not to offar any inconvenience to the actors. No mechanical apparatus is to be employed to force the atr io t r n i : the draught caused by the superabundant heat of thTehcoe fere and of the lustre being considered sufficient. The on com mission has therefore submitted two projefetts,e Prefectd of the above principles, to the approbation of at the new the:Seine.
