In alluvial formations are to be found diamonds and other precious stones. The largest diamond in Europe is in the sceptre of the Emperor of Russia —it is about the size of a pigeon's egg, and is worth 300,0001. This diamond was stolen from the head .f a heathen deity on the Malabar coast by a Frenchman, who sold it to the carain of a mete chant vessel for 2,0001. The captain sold it trterwards to aJr w for 18,000/. The Jew retained t for several years, and then soil it to the &nut. as C ttherin- f.r 9(1,0001. in ready cash, and an an. wiry of 4,0001. The D)ctor stated that it was 'tow cert ,in th it diam n is are nothing more that) r fined charcoal, mid that ruby, sapphire, &c., ate only chrystal zed clay. Gold is also found in these formations, and many interesting staiemt-nt4 aete node relative to the made of colecting it. The conclu ing part of the lecture was taken up with the considertrion of meteoric stones. These stones hav e fallen in various par s of the world, and we are) informed almost every month of the de , cent of th..s. nondescript substances. They have a bro.ro, bur t appearance on the outside; the inside is of a grey sh colour. It has been supp led by some that t hese stones have be-n thrown from the earh by volcanic force; Dr. M.trray thinks this is itnpo—ible, becahs- They hive fallen many thousand miles from any. volcano.

MIDDLESEX QUARTER SESSIONS. TRIAL OF HENRY PALMER. ConelodA from The Sun of yesterday.) By B. C. BRODIE, F R.S., Mr. Francis Diigdale Actley examined-Lin July last I answered a money-lender's advertisement in the Morning Post. I then resided at Basing-Park. A person representing himself to be P Moreton, the advertiser, met me at the Swan Inn, Alton, a day or t wo after I made application for a loan. He proposed to lend me 5,000/ , and produced ten six-shilling stamps, upon which I wrote, at his request,- across the centre, "Pay ,hle at Messrs. Pried's, bankers, Fleet-street." I did not sign my name at that time. Moreton said the sum could be ea-ily raised, and he would lend it at six per cent. inter-st. Witness also received a ie•ter from " P. Mureton," of 35,Univer sity-street, upon the same subject. A letter as here produced, and shown to a wit ness naused Henry James F. zpat rick, who was us able to say where hand-writing it was, but thought it had net been written by the prisoner. John Alves deposed ghat the letter was, to the be t of his belief, in the handwriting of John M n ter Hort.

Our great Michaelmas Fair commenced yester day, and though there was a very con-iderable at tendance, it was not so numerous as we have wit nessed. The show of horses was tolerable as to numbtr, but there was a great majority of the infe rior kind, indeed the better pat appeared more scarce than usual. We did riot learn that much business was done, and if anything, they were cheaper than of late. The Cittle Market was most plen•ifolly supplied, pariculaily with those of the Scotch breed. Good things of every description met ready sale, at higher prices. Of sheep there was a fair supply, and good ones went off readily at an advance. Rgs were most abundant, and much. hti•iness was done in them at reduced prices. We scarcely ever witnessed fewer hops pitched for sale, bone ie w l e iy u , n , d m er p i l t e a . rul T tl t i l a e t very l i ttle tlebusitiess has been i currency i--New Kent pocket-, 71 to 81..

We have heard of one prime dairy which sold as high es 67s.—Chester Chronicle. THE TALLOW SPECULATION.—Yesterday was an important day among the speculator• in tallow, as the account for the immense speculations which have been entered into during the last month was appointed to be settled on the 15th instant. On few former occasions has speculation been carried to such an extent as recently, and the fluctuation in the price of tallow has been between 501. and 43!. per ton, the lomv est price having been ob tained a few days since. The diff-rences on the specula tions were paid yesterday, and were very large, without any d faulters being announced. A discovery has been made, by which the merchants in Russia have carried on, it is thought, for some time, a deception in packing tallow, and by which the melmer is defrauded. Two heads of tallow casks have keen exhibited at the Baltic Coffee-house during the last three days, taken from mane of the recent importations, to show the trick played off by the Russian merchants on the trade here. The heads of the casks are full three times as thick as customary, and, consequently, by taking up greater room than required, the casks contain less of the tallow, the tare allowed by custom in the trade b-ing I2lbs. for every cwt. By this new system of deception the actual tare is increased considerably, and unless the welters and others in the trade take care to inspect the casks they may purchase, they will sustain much loss, the comparatively valueless wood occupying time place of tallow. The recent heavy arrivals of vessels from the Russian capital have considerably increased the stock of tallow, which is now nearly 37,000 casks, against 12,800 casks at this period of last year. The deliveries last week were large, having amounted to 4,129 casks. The prosecutor recalled—The sum of 5,000/ was stipulated ; I was to receive the whole without any deduction, and to pay the interest half-yearly. I never made any statement on this subject to the chairman either directly or indirectly. The CHAIRMAN—Did I ever speak to you upon any subject in your life ?—Never. Cross-examined by the prisoner—The sum was drawn in 10 bills at 5001. each, at the requEst of Moreton. No other person was present at the time. 1 said I should be satisfied with any sum from 1 00iI. to 5,0001. I said 3.000/. would do. I told Moreton that I was entitled to 60,0001. in the funds. The pen and ink at Alton belonged to the landlord of the Sbrart Inn, but at Basing-park, where I put my signature to the acceptance, the pen and ink were mine. I expected of course to receive the money as promised. I never applied for a less •um after giving my acceptance. My solicitors, Ogle and S:aniland, gave me the information by which I knew the bills were dated August 2. I received two of them enclosed in an anonymous letter. I saw another at Mr. Prestwich's counting house, in Mark-lane. I offered money to regain the whole of the bills. I have received five bills back altogether at different times. My offer was 5001. to return the 10 hills. A person named Blandford gave up five- to me for nothing. Prisoner—Did you not employ Leadbitter to buy up these bills ? The COURT objected to that question. I - 1-w many other bills had you in existence be sides these ?—I don't know, but will swear not fif een. Ido not know the amount for which I was liable when I accepted those ten bills. CHAIRMAN—Do you not know the exact number or amount ?—I do not. Were you compounding with your creditors at the rime ?—I was. By the prisoner—l was offerinz a composi tion. I will riot swear that 1 was not offeritiv Bs. ire the pound. Ido riot remember, because I kept no at e -, unt. My creditors were not clamorous. By Mr. Sergeant ANDREws—I was offering a certain sum to my ciedliors. By the prisoner—What amount did you owe ? I will not anower that. Had you 5,0001. in bills ever due at the time you accepted the ten bills ?—That has nothing to do with the case. The prisoner appealed to the Court, who decided that the pro , ecwor was not bound to answer such q testiop ; and observed that the prisoner had been allowed a latitude which would not have been allowed to any gentleman of the bar. Prisoner—Do you know a pers9n named Smart ? --1 do. 1 have referred a holler of one of ten bills to Smart, but not in reference to my respecta bility. is Mr. Smart ?—A wine-merchant. I will not answer questions about Mr. Smarr. Where does he live ?—ln thydges-street, I ra ther thank. Is that opposite Drury-lane Theatre ?—I don's know that, but I have bern Is nor that the notorioils Swatt who was corn niitied for felony at D nicaster ?—I do , 't know. Is not his house called Mother H.'s ?—I don't know. Was he not a holder of ocher lylls over due of your:, ex. lusive of the ten ?—I not answer Hive you never played at billiards at his house? t.evet have, but that is not a fair question. Have you riot played at cards there ?—I will not swear. Did not Mr. Smart introduce you to Mr. Ihn -ey ?-1 r C. FORBES advised the pro,t-cutor to answer po-)tively, or decline 0 •ce. M,. Sergeant ANDREWS advised him to answer que.-,tion witnuut reserve, however "wilful to 13 - ; he pri,oner—l met M. Smart at Goodwood races, bat 1 , ►tlt Slot say wheilel I offeied h m any oloto-y to pecovei the bilk I did nal know that M. Smart kept a common gambling-tniu•e and a brothel until I went ih re. I have never played there. Dn you not know of your own knowledge 'bat by ihreat, intimidatwo, a promise of securr y, and reward, some of the par tea named in the handbill have heel' induced to give evidence for the prose cution ?—No. Tire prisoner then handed a copy of the Saliriat newspaper to the prosecutor. The CHAIRMAN wished to know his object. Prisoner_ '1 h ere i s a v i ru l ent paragraph against me in it, and I want to show it was put in by his authority. Cross-examination resumed by the prisoner—l know nothing of ir. I knew another paragr.ph was sent to the Satirist. It was touching this case. I know by whom i t oas s e nt. I n e ith e r c o nsen te d ['or obi cted to it. By M. ADOLPIIUS—My debts were of the or dinary kind except one, about 5001., and some others of smaller amount. My acquaintance with Mr. Smart commenced at Stockbridge Races. I had property enough to pay all my debts, when I wanted the loan of 5,0001. I inquired at No. 31, Univers ty street, and was informed that a grog of swindlers had lived at No. 35, and had been all arrested three week , before. I was in a private room at the Man sion -house, but was not sworn before the Lord Mayor. m —y iegai , advisers instructed me to swear the affidavit. I gave the blank bills as s ecurity for the loan. I gave Hart no aut h or i ty to di spos e of the bills. By the CouRT—MY legal advisers did not state on . what groutau , L or d P oriar li r . gton an d the Mn. guts of Chatidos were material witnesses. My other acceptances were for gambling accounts. George Turna examined—l believe the body of the bills now produced to tie in Palmer's ),and writing. (A note was shown to the witness signe H. Palmer, directed to Mr. Prestwich, wine-mei• chant, of Mark-lane, requesting him to give up the bill for .500/ in his bands to Mr. Gnatley. as he had received the money for it. The witness thought it was in the handwriting of the prisoner.) Cross.examined by the prisoner—l know your writing. I saw you write three years ago when you told me you were articled to Minter Hart. I have seen you write repeatedly at different places. Mr. Wiliam Long examined-1 am one of the firm of Ogle and &Atliland, the soliclors for the prosecution. I know the defendant, who called at my office in Bouverie.street on the 2,1 of September last, and said he wanted to say something about a bill drawn by the prosecutor which h , held. Hr wanted to know whether it would 1w paid. I re plied certainly not, for it was improperly procured He said he was not 'la, are of that, or he should not have given value for it ; hr should, however, etif p I pointedly asked h m from %.% him h had taken tvte bill.

I mentioned the priconees nem •, and he re plied " General Palmer," avid toll me to call again in two or three days, which I did "p,,, five bills now produced I have seen before, and sub scribA my name to one of them as drawer at Kil ned?. place. They were then in blank, bit , acceptance was on each of them. I never of erward• saw Palmer. My a , tendon was arrested by teeing the name placaided in the streets, and 1 went to Kinnear and upbraided him for his conduct. 1 also went to Hensy and gave him all the information I could. Cross-examined by the prisoner —I have knovi n Kinnear seven or eight years, or perhaps ten. 1 have accepted bills for him on several occasions, which were duly honoured. I first began to engage in bill transacti‘ins with Kinnear about 12 months after I became acquainted with hi n. I cannot Fay to what amount. I have met him at the Carolina Coffee-house casually Outing the last 12 months, but not for the put pose of " doing" b;ll. I lived at Rotherhithe about a month. Before that I lived in Castle-street, Le cestei-square. I live by rendeiiti., occasioiial assistance to solicitors with whom I am intimate. Before I accept or draw I generally look to the pally for whom Ido it. I have done no thitg to disguise my-elf within the last two months. Re-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—When I signed the last Kinnear said when the transaction was complete Mr. Astley would make me a present of three dozen of wine. Mr Joseph Prestwich examined by Mr. ADOI, PHUS—I ani a wine-merchant, living in Mark-lane. A wine-broker called upon me with a bill accepted by Mr. Astlev,and tendered it in payment for wines. I sent it to S.r John Lubbock's house, and in a day or two Mr. Staniland, the attorney, called upon me, and desired me to detain it. Subsequently I deli vered it to Mr. Staniland. Parnell, the poqmart, deposed that the witnesses Atchison and Hart had frequently taken letter. from him, which were directed to No. 3.5, University. street. The case for the prosecution then closed. The prisoner read with considerable ability a cle verly written defence, in which he complained that he was imposed upon in being led to believe that the Chairman had some knowledge of the prose cutor; that he was labouring under tic-doloreux ; that be had been placarded in the streets; and that the pubic press had associated him with thieves ; all which was calculated to create a strong prejudice against him. He theta contended that there were things necessary to constittre his guilt— the trim • of stealing, a guilty ki , owledge, and the idervity of the thief, none or which ingredients had been proved by the evidence. He acknowleogcd that he was a discounter of bills, anti would not dis guise the fact that when he could get it he would take more than five per cent. He took the bill fairly from Mr. David Goatley, who acted as ages in the afftirs of Messrs. Barrett, the rectifiers of L imbeth wharf, and for whom he had discounted to the amount of several thousand poools. A st:cowd was offerer: to him by the s a me person, anti he wrote to the prosecutor inqui r ing whether all was right, but received no reply. He denied tha• he had any hand in filling up tile bills. Tse read ing of the du fence occupied more than an hour. Asaph Hir,tm B own examined by the prisoner— The bibs are not in your handwriting. The prisoner was about to call several other witnesses to piove that the hand riling is the body of the bills was nut his, but tire Court having in 1- teed that such evidence was unnecessary, he de el m-A doing so. The Jury pronounced the prisoner Guilty. He wa, setitetteed to be tr.tnsportetl fur 14 years The pritoutt-r, on hearing the ••etitettee, was seized wi.h a dreadf.l fit. The trial lustrd upwards of 11 hows. HOUSES OF THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS-- ConeeElm-IL! the towns Lind houses of the E \pilaff., we have a good specimen in the remains of Beteoice, on t to- Red Se , a city built noon o, e ot those in les which dis tinguish the site of ancient Est ptian towns. The situa tion of the houses iv regular, the wain streets coinciding and in the ci titre was a temple. It was the custom the pet ple to live close , ogether, and the lirgest haus , . were but forty feet in lenei, and twenty in breatich ; others were smaller, for, adds Belzoni, " these people h d no nta-d of gre it sheds to store coach s, chariots, ot any other luxurious lumber. Their cattle and camels lay always in the op,n air, as tiny still do in these countries; nor hail they any extensive manutactories. The only buildings for their commerce wuu•d be but a few store houses ; nor could the narrow lanes, which were in use in those times, occupy much o the grou.A." Ditelorus says, that the houses of Thebes were four or five stories high ; and Be'zoni shows, from tne city of Bacchus on the lake Aloe is, that the houses of Dahioi ua resembled church towels without buttiesses The hod-es, he says, are not united, nor built in any regularity tor -Wets, hot only divided by all. ys, nut more than three or four feet wide, and all huilt of sun-burnt bricks There is a causeway or road, made i f large stones. It rues through t he town to the temple, which faces the south. In the centre of the city Belzoni obset wed several houses, or rather cellars, under ground, as they appeared from their tops, which were covered with strong pieces of wood, over which there were some cote, and then above this a layer of bricks on a level with the sur face, so that one might walk over them without perceiv ing that he was treating upon the top of a house. Upon uncovering some of these houses, after removing the layer of bricks, was found a layer of clay, and then a layer of canes, which were nearly burnt; ant i lastly, under the canes sonic ra tees of wood, forming the ceiling. The wood was in good preservation, and of a bard quality. The inside ot a hut, or c,llar, was filled up with rubbish ; but they had evidently been inhabited, as there was a fire place in every one 01 them. Tory were not more than ten ur twelve feet square, and the communication to each other was by a narrow lane, which was not more thin three feet wide, also covered. - 11 TRAVELLING ON RAILROADS The attention of the public being now PO mach drawn to the extension of the lard ths obtained by m-ans of travelling on railroad., and the to,ny corn patties now in embryo to tender more pert< ct and expeditious the communication bet v+ ern the metro. oohs and distant pars of the coantry, the devt memo of any new fact or inveiniont having this üb j , ct in view is at present deservii.g remark. _ A numerous parry of scientific men and others ~ aving had their attention drawn to an invention by Mr. Saxton of the locomotive d , fferential pally, ind its applicabili.y to tiavellitl at the rate of thirty niles an hour, by mea s of horses wig-king at the rate of their most effective speed of two or rt ree miles an hour, sobscricnions have been ward to form an experimen al railway near Glottee•ter-ga•e, w , ere tin invention, will be rri.-d ott at: extended .eale. M. J. J. Hawkins, on Wednesday evening, de livered a le..ture to a very nom- r.-us body of the members and their friends of the Sotith,.ark Lite rary Society, in which the principle of applying the locomo'ive differential pully to railroad tray.lling .ta .: :_fully explained. Mr. hawkers commenced by observing that the , tivention of Mr. Saxton had created a strong inte rest in the scientific world, as by the use of the lo coinotive differential pully it was practicable for a horse walking two or three miles an hour to draw or drive a catriage thirty miles an hour on a level rail way, or in ascending steep hills ten miles an hour, with so little fatigue to the animal that he could rornittue the work the whole day. By this inven tion, it is calculated thirty horses wilt be enabled to take three hundred persons in a day, each thirty mites, in an hour and a half, taking the fills as they exist; or that on a level railway five !moulted per -oils may be conveyed thirty miles an hour by thirty horses. This extraordinary result the Lecturer stated he would d,monstrate as pi acticable, althoi.gh cons derable (11Eculty was ex r p a e ic r )y i t e iso n on ce s d by loofw th a e p n e :1 0 : 1 :1:1:1 , 1 y e s in n obtainingcmcomprehending suchdriggtriel the t velocity et. uli power as existed in the present invention, which was the application in a new mode of the lever, acting in a vertical position. By means of diagrams of wheels and a miniature omit;bus the Lecturer then proceeded to apply the invention to practical purposes. In the ordinary mode of travelling the moving power is applied to the lever or centre of ,he wheels, and the speed of the wheel being equal to the power that moves it ; but by the loccmottve differential pully the leverage is so placed as to concentrate i.s power an the lower part of the wheel next the ground or fulcrum, and a mctive force here applied will cause a much more rapid le volution of the wheels. To render the principle easier understood the Lecturer showed by mean• of a suck Ihe action of leverage. Supposing the stick is the spoke of a wheel, and a strin g is fafeened one twelith down in, near the ground, by moving the [ring forward an inch the top of the sp ke ‘voitid move twelve inches, and thus the axis of the whole would obt.iii an accelerated force twelve times that employed to move it. lii apply ng the pully to the conveyance of passengers and goods on a railway, it is proposed to be ou axle, and fixed to a four wheeled out I:, drawn by means of an endless rope stretched 011 riggers along the road, the truck carry. log on the omnibus.
