THE CRYSTAL PALACE. The precise day is not yet fixed, but there is no longer any doubt that the Crystal Palace will be opened by her Majesty towards the end of May, that the ceremo . Dial will be conducted with great pomp, and that the occasion will be embraced as a fit opportunity for dis playing the permanent attachment, not only of the Queen and her Government, but of the community at large, to those peaceful arts which-have until now been the glory and happiness of the present reign. Consider ing that a million of money has been thus far spent in the undertaking, and that a quarter or even half a mil lien more may be required before the capital account is closed—Considering how this immense sum has been raised, and the unprecedented objects, in a com mercial sense, to which its expenditure has been di rected—bearing in mind, also, the great want which exists for such a place within reach of a popula tion, like, that of London—it is not too much to claim for an enterprise so noble and imperial all the prestige and support which it is within the scope of our institutions to confer upon it. So much has been magnificently accomplished at Sydenham that, if all classes do sot cheerfully and unanimously join in supporting the enterprise, we deserve never to have anything of the kind attempted for us again. In fact, we are not likely soon to have so expensive an experi ment repeated, if this one fails ; and it is worth while to remember this, now that the period for testing its suc cess approaches. If any delusive hopes are entertained that the promised scheme of the Royal Commission at Kensington-gore will supply a rival attraction they had better be dismissed at once. That body makes no sign of putting th e s hilli ng surp l us to such popular uses as can give the directors and shareholders of the Crystal Palace Company the slightest alarm ; on the Con trary,- the commissioners exhibit all those maw s . takeable symptoms of somnolency Which are so apt to manifest themselves in corporations h av i ng trust money o f which nobody is specially t h e cestei qua trust, which they have a very doubt ful equitable rig ht to hold, and which is appro priated to no well-defined objects. It would be much better that the surplus of the Great Exhibition should remain permanently buried under the ruins of the Sym posium than that the existence of such a fund, with a hod erg to administer it, sho u ld act injuriously y ched upon the prospects of a healthy commercial enterprise like that at Sydenham. The Commissioners themselves would probably be foremost as individuals in acknow ledging this ; and even the Prince has not been slow to manifest the interest, which lie feels in an undertaking, the direct work, indeed, of a private company, but which can trace its origin by no dubious pedigree to the industrial gathering of 1851. Only three short years have elapsed since that event took place, and but two since the purchase of the old building in Hyde -park, and now, on one of the last days of May, 1854, the Queen goes to crown with her presence the inauguration of a new palace for the people, raised on the heights of Sydenham by the enterprise of a joint-stock company without vo luntary contributions or other aids unknown to com merce. Under these circumstances, one of the first and most natural quest i ons. to ask is, "Will the works be sufficiently completed to admit of ap, effective opening ?" No o ne will expect that an undertaking - so vast can be Perfected in all' its details at once, or that successive . Months; and years will not witness improved arrange ments, attractive additions, and all the other novelties which are so necessary to maintain the interest of a permanent institution. Some time must elapse before the commercial experiment involved in such an enter prise can be fairly-tested, and during that period the di , rectors and staff of the company will have ample oppor tanides to supply those portions of the general plan which they have not hitherto been able to overtake or finish. If we cannot have the entire system of fountains in play this season for want of the water-towers, we must rest contented with the upper series until they are securely reconstructed. If the whole exhibiting space is not taken up at once, time must be allowed for the less enterprising to reconcile themselves to . this new mode of advertising. Dr. Lathom cannot expect to complete his ethnological collec tion from the types of races brought to the port of London in one year, nor Sir Joseph Paxton to achieve in a few weeks, or even months, the full effects of a developed vegetation. So, in fact, with nearly all the departments, which, though the chief expense connected , with them has already been incurred, are still capable of much improvement. But, though in one sense the 'Crystal Palace and park cannot be considered complete, 41 another, if due exertions are made, there will be more ,than sufficient to astonish and delight every one who ,goes there. The building itself so far transcends its .original as to make one feel rather ashamed of the admi ration which that excited. The grand transept would alone, from, the effect which it produces, justify an open ,ing ceremonial; and it is impossible, whether the huge pile is surveyed externally or internally, to shake off the 'conviction that so wonderful a structure is destined to fulfil uses more than adequate to the objects for which its construction was undertaken. The same observations hold tree of the architectural courts, the sculpture, the terraced gardens, the extinct animals of Waterhouse Hawkins, the natural his tory collection of Mr. Thompson, and, indeed, every thing that has thus far been accomplished. The pro gress made during the last few weeks in every portion :of the works is satisfactory ; and, though the interval between this and the end of<May seems extremely short for what.reinains before them to be accomplished, if the heads of departments keep steadily at their posts, and get their subordinates by constant supervision to exert themselves to tla; utmost, the opening will be all that can reasonably be expected. It would be a thousand pities, as the Qaeen is to be present, that throdgh any want of energy now the effect of the inaugural ceremony should be lessened. The holders of season tickets only will be admitted on that occasion, and the sale of th ese commences imme diately at the west end and city offices of the company, at the London-bridge terminus of the Brighton railway, and at Mitchell's, Sams's, and Westerton's l i b rar i es. Two kinds of season tickets are to be issued —one sold for two guineas, admitting to the building and grounds ; the other at four guineas, and in eluding the r a il way conveyance. Families t aking two tickets of either kind will be allowed 10 per cent. dis count; taking three, 15 per cent. ; four, 20 per cent. ; and five and upwards, 25 per cent. The directors, fol lowing very much the plan adopted in Hyde-park, intend making Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thurs days shilling days, Friday a half-crown day, and Satur day ass day. On the shilling days the whole cost of visiting the Palace, with conveyance there and back by Crystal Palace Railways will be for first-class pas sengers, 2s. 6d. ; for second, 2s. ; and for third, 18. 6d., children under twelve years of .age being admitted at half these rates. It is proposed to open the build ing and grounds on. Mondays at nine o'clock ; on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at ten ; and on Fridays and Saturdays at twelve. We see no thing in. the programme which the directors have issued to be objected to, but the time is now rapidly approaching when a question of far more impor tance for their interests and for those of the shareholders than anything involved in these details will have to be discussed and decided. It is impossible to see the rush of people already setting in on fine Sunday afternoons to Sydenham without feeling that the. Sunday question is shortly to be revived. Had the building remained in Hyde Park, besides other disadvantages, there would have beep very little chance of rendering it accessible to the industrious classes on their only . holiday. Its removal gives them an opportunity of pressing the wuhieot strongly upon the attention of Parliament. a_ They can now fairly ask whether so vast an expendi l'ure incurred to exercise an elevating and refining influence over them is to be thrown away—whether future experiments of the kind are to be prevented by the failure of this in its maim objects—whether the classes who enjoy wealth and leisure are once more te have the cheap and exclusive benefit of what was specially intended for the working man. The former agitation of the question was premature, and conse quently failed, but suc h is not likely to be the result now. Every clear summer day on which the Surrey hills can be seen, with the Palace glittering in the sunlight, will add to the strength of popular feeling on the sub ject. The company having got their charter on the express condition that Sunday was to be a dies noa with them have no right to complain, and, if they study their own interest, will not stir iu the matter. But it is different with the pent-up masses of this overgrown metropolis, who will hardly allow bigoted views of reli gious duty to overrule what considerations of health and social welfare so strongly commend.

Much indignation was caused by the game which was played with Defiance, in reference to the Newmark e t Handicap. He had been brought to the town for the express purpose, as it was generally believed, of fulfilling his engagement for that event, more especially since it was known that Virago was withdrawn. Under these circumstances he advanced in favour, until 2 to 1 was taken to some money. As the night wore on, however, the betting afforded palpable indications of his downfall ; but it was not until after the list had been read, that the principal masked battery was opened against him. From 5 to 2 he was then driven at once to 10 to 1, and finally 25 to 1, or any odds, indeed, were offered. This left Adine about as good a favourite as anything, and the quotations at the close were as follows : NEWMARKET HANDICAP. sto 1 agst Adine. 7to 1 agst Little Jem (taken). 10 to 1 agst Epaminondas (taken). 10 to 1 agst The Veteran (100 to 8 taken). 3to 1 agst Adine and Nicotine coupled (taken).

Although net regularly in the market, a few bets at the rate of 100 to 5 and 100 to 6 were taken about Coup d'Etat. They started ,well in line, and the work was cut out by Assault gelding until they were over the New Ground, when Coup d'Etat, Vete ran, El Dorado, Epaminondas, and Nicotine showed distinctly in front, and the running was carried on in close company until they descended the Bushes•hill, where Nicotine dropped off evidently quite beaten. On leaving the Abingdon Mile bottom, Veteran took the command, but when half-way between the turn of the lands and the chair he was deprived of it by Coup d'Etat, who went on, followed by Veteran and Sine qua Non. A good race up the ropes with the three ended in favour of Coup d'Etat by a length, the second beating the third by a neck ; two lengths between the third and fourth. El Dorado, well up with Epaminon das, was fifth. Nutpecker and Nicotine, some half a dozen lengths behind these, headed the next lot. Net amount of the stakes, 8551..

On the Course 10 to 1 was takeß to 1001. ; 5,000 to 75 about Bracken for the Derby. The continued brilliancy of the weather, and the in terest attached to the principal feature of the day's sport —the Newmarket Handicap—caused the attendance o f company to be consid eza bly increased to-day . The sport had, ho wever , it s d raw b ac k s i n the proceedings which were connected with the handicap. Favourites were set up and knocked down like ninepins. To the Defiance demonstration, after Virago's disappearance, we have already alluded ; the next on a par with it was the force with which Adine was brought into favour. On mustering at "The Rooms" about noon-time, Nico tine appeared most prominently in the betting, but she quickly gave way to Adine, and Adine reigned' para mount until the bubble burst on the Heath. Adine was then number amongst the non-starters ! NEWMARKET RACES—Tnis DAY. Six races are fixed for this day. The first race at two o'clock ; the Craven Handicap at three o'clock ; Column States, at four o'clock. The first race—Cambridgeshire Course.—is off.

TILE GREAT SEIZURE OF STOLE'N PRO PERTY.-THE BURGLARS' STORES. The recent discovery, through the vigilance of the City detective police, of a suspected notorious fence, and the capture of the keeper, Moses Moses, a Jew, pos sessing considerable wealth, have led to the most im portant results as to a system which appears to have been extensively carried out in disposing of burglarious plunder. The accused, Moses Moses, it will be recol lected, was comm i tted for trial from the Mansion-house justice-room, on Friday last, on two charges of felony, for feloniously receiving property, knowing , it to have been stolen ; but the police obtained a further remand, many other cases being alleged against him, and since then a host of persons have identified the property found on his premises as stolen from them by burglars. The prisoner is a man somewhat advanced in life. For several years he resided in the neighbourhood of Houns ditch, his stores being in Bell-lane, Spitalfields, where he carried on the business, as he describes on his card, of " Government Contractor, General Agent, and Ex porter, &c." The stores possess many advantages now that their purpose has been disclosed, being peculiarly situated in a' neighbourhood filled with intricate alleys and courts, and standing at a corner of a gateway, with a cab-yard adjoining. Among the immense quantity of property found in the stores, which the •police seized at the time, suspecting it to have been stolen, the bulk has been identified as the produce of the following daring robberies and burglaries. On the 15th of last December a case of jewellery of the value of 1301., belonging to Mr. Alexander Pyke, of 16, Hatton-garden, was stolen from a brougham while stand ing in the Strand. A boy, who had the care of it at the time, and two men who enticed the boy to commit the robbery, were convicted at a subsequent session - of the Central Criminal Court, and sentenced to two years' im prisonment. None of the property was recovered, although the officers engaged in the case circulated hand bills throughout the metropolis, giving an accurate list of the property, and offering a reward of 1001. for its recovery, but without avail, until Mr. Mitchell, the in spector of the City police, on examining the jewellery found in Moses's stores, discovered among them the fol lowing-:—Several jewel cases, containing plated gold bracelets, brooches, nearly 300 sets of studs, 80 lockets, 42 fine gold rings, and numerous other articles. Mr. Pyke, on being shown the property, at once identified the whole of it as being part of that stolen from the brougham. On the 13th of February- the warehouse of Mr. Samuel Hargraves; Manchester warehouseman, of No. 15, Gresham-street, Guildhall, war burglariously broken into; and • shawls and other property of the value of nearly 4001. were carried off by the burglare. A full description of the property was circulated by the police, and a large reward was offered, but no clue was obtained of it until it came to light among the articles seized. The property consisted of 185 black shawls, three squa r e bl ac k woo l s h aw l s, 19 scarlet lama hankerchiefs, 16 green ditto, and numerous other articles. Mr. Hargraves states, with the exception of two pieces of cloth and seven or eight shawls the pro perty found comp r i ses th e w h o l e procee d s of the bur glary. The other property identified was carried away by burglars from the following places :—Mr. Rossiter's, 122, London-wall, on the 20th of last January ; Mr. T. Self, Artillery-lane, Bermondsey ; Mr. George Mat thews, Market place, Bermondsey. ; Mr. Lelhond, hat manufacturer, Southwark-bridge-road ; Mr. E. T. Jones, Artillery-street, Bermondsey ; Messrs. Hodgson and Rogers, of John-street West, Blackfriars ; Mr. Smith, of Artillery-place, Horselydown ; Messrs. Cooper a n d Trees, of Church-passage Blackfriars ; and severa l others. From i nqu i r i es made by the police of the ac cused how lie became possessed of this property, he re plied he had advanced moneys on it, but who the parties were who brought it to him he had not the slightest knowledge. He kept no books or entries of these trans actions, and admitted to the officers that he exported largely in these goods to America and Australia. A. great mass of property remains at Bow-lane police sta tion, not identified, about which but one opinion can be formed. Among them are 50 solid gold gentlemen's rings, with space for crest, &c. ; a small silver-plated waiter, with the letter R in the centre ; some plate, with a crest coronet partly erased from it ; some black silks, cloths, and other articles. The re-examination of the accused is appointed for Friday next, when all the above cases of burglary will, it is expected, be gone into. FALLING „AMONG .2111IEVES. A few days ago it was stated in the papers than Man chester was more than usually crowded with thieves, and a couple of these pests, at the close of last week, suc ceeded in easing a farmer who lives at Little Hulton of cash .enough to enable them to spend the Easter holidays very much to their satisfaction, The farmer, whose name it is not desirable at present to mention, states that he came to Manchester on Thursday last, and put up at the Dog and Gun' public-house in Dale-street,' where he happened to mention in conversation to a man who was drinking in the same room, and who had turned the conversation on money and commercial ope rations, that he was desirous himself to borrow 1,000/., which he could turn to good account in the coal trade. To his surprise, the man said he had a friend, who come in presently, and who was just returned from America very rich, that he was sure would lend him the money. The friend soon arrived, and the proposal was made, when he readily enough assented to .lend the money, but, assuming the air of one who was circumspect in such matters, said it would be necessary, as they were strangers, that he should be satisfied the farmer was what he represented himself to be, and make some' in quiries. This was agreed to. The man who introduced t the subject, it was proposed should go over to Little Hulton on Friday, and all three should meet again in Manchester on Saturday, when, if the report was satis factory, the 1,0001. should be forthcoming. Sharper No. 1 did not fail to visit Little Hulton, eight or ten miles from Manchester, on Good Friday, and took an opportunity. whilst there to say how careful his friend was in lending money to have security, and that the best way the other could adopt of satisfying him he was a man of substance, would be on Saturday to take as much money with him as possible. The farmer fell, simply enough, into the trap. By borrowing from a brother, he went to Manchester •on Saturday , with 1051. in his pocket, and met the sharpers at' the Buck Inn, Booth-street, at three o'clock in the afternoon. A good deal of conversation passed, and sharper No. 2 produced the 1,0001. (probably in flash notes), which he said he would lend on the necessary stamps being procured. Sharper No. 1 said he would go and show the farmer where to buy the stamps, upon which the other asked what guarantee they could give for their return, as he would not wait many minutes. The first sharper, pro ducing a bundle of notes from his pocket, said he would leave all the money he had, for as the town was full of thieves it would, perhaps, be safer th ere th an if h e took it with him. H e a t the same time recommended the farmer to adopt the same course, and the latter placed in the hands of the second sharper - 801. in gold, two 101. and one Si. note—in all 1051., while he went to the Stamp-office. A building was pointed out to him as the Stamp-office, after passing through several streets, and his companion directed him what stamps to get, whilst he waited outside ; but this was only a - trick to give him the slip, and the farmer on his return could find neither of the parties. They had, of course, decamped with the money, and the farmer gradually awoke to the conscious. ness that the apparently frank and generous men he had been in communication with were swindlers, and subse quently told his story to the police, who confirmed his suspicions. A description of the men was entered in the information book at the police-office, but no trace of the parties has been obtained. HOLYHEAD HARBOUR.—A bill is now before Parlia ment for the regulation and maintenance of Holyhead harbour, and for vesting them in the Admiralty. TEM SEVENTEEN - YEAR CYCLE.—The seventeen year period is one of some importance in the animal world. Epidemics are known to recur at this period, the cholera being one of these. In 1816-17 it commenced its ravages in India; it was prevalent in Europe in 1832-33, and again in 1 848-49. Humboldt mentions a similar cycle as having been observed in-South America in the preva lence of the small-pox.

INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS. At the last meeting of this society, Mr. James Simp son, president, in the chair, the evening was entirely devoted to the discussion of the papers by Mr. J. Simp son, jun., and Mr. C. Wye Williams, "On the Manage ment of the Engine and other Furnaces, and the Prevention of Smoke." An explanation was given, by means of a diagram, of several divisions of the process, leading to the combustion of gas in furnaces. The first division gave the mere relative gross bulk of gas and air required for combustion. In the second the mechanical mixture of the gas and air was described, such mixture, or contact of atoms, being essential to the subsequent chemical union. The third exhibited the several consti tuents of gas and air—the former being hydrogen - and car bon ; the latter, oxygen and nitrogen; the relative volumes of each were given, and it was shown that ten volumes of air were absolutely essential to the combustion of one volume of gas. The fourth division showed the propor tions in which those constituents combined. The nature of flame and smoke was examined ; showing that the intense heat, caused by the combustion of the hydrogen, was the direct cause by which the temperature of the carbon was raised to that of white heat, which produced the luminosity of flame. This process was illustrated by reference to the mode of producing the intense heat and luminosity required for the oxy-hydrogen miscroscope. In the latter the piece of lime or carbon, on which the heat was projected, was instantly raised to the tempera ture of extreme luminosity, neither the lime nor carbon, however, suffering rapid combustion. In the former, the carbon of the gas was raised, by the same means (the combustion of the hydrogen) to the high temperature, but could not suffer combustion until it was brought into contact, in its turn, with its equivalent of the oxygen of the air. If, however, that supply of air was not pro vided before the carbon lost'its high temperature, it re turned to its previous and natural state of a black sub stance, and gave the black character to the products, called smoke. The first important condition was then shown to be, the providing the required quantity of air. Reference was then made to the area, recommended by some authorities, as lieing sufficient to allow the quan tity to enter a furnace. It had been considered, that ! even half a square inch of aperture for each square foot of furnace grate was, sufficient for the combustion of the fuel. This was, however, stated to be insufficient for practical purposes. The proper area for admission being from 4 to 6 square inches for each foot of grate, accord ing to the extent of draught and the nature of the coal. This serious difference was supposed to have been caused by an erroneous calculation of the rate of the current of air entering. For, if half a square inch of area was all that was allowed, the air must have a velocity ten times greaten than could be shown to have ever been attained. Thus, supposing a furnace to be 4 feet by 2 feet 6 inches, equal to 10 square feet of bar surface, this would effect a combusion of 2 cwt. of coal per hour, and require, for the gas alone, a supply of 10,000 cubic feet per hour, or for 20 cwt. of the coal, 100,000 cubic feet. The following comparison of velocity of the en tering air for the supply of the gas gave some idea of the cause of underrating the required area of admission :-- Air aperture per Velocity of Quantity of air Quantity for square foot of draught per per each ton of grate. second. hour.. coal. 6 square inches at 5 ft. persec. 7,500 cubic ft. 75,000 6 „ „ at 10 „ . 15,000 „ 150,000 Then, if the area were reduced to half a, square inch, it would require a velocity of 80 feet per second to pro vide for the admission, within the given ti me , o f the necessary qu an tity. B y dose observation, by means, of an aerometer, the velocity of the entering current was estimated at from 8 to la' feet per second, if the draught was good ; and from 5 to 8 feet when it was but moderate. Again, it was observed that, by admitting the air through numerous thin 'films or divisions, the velocity was necessarily reduced by mere friction through so many half-inch orifices as were exhibited in the models and drawings on the table. The mode dadmitting the air by numerous email orifices, as practised by Mr. C. Wye Williams, w as th en oOnsidered, and it was shown that the great object to be effected was, the division of the air, on its admission to the furnace,' so that no more atoms were brought into contact with the atoms of the gas, at any one momonte than were required for their successive union and combustion. , If this were the case, combustion and heat would be generated, continuously, as the gas and air came into contact. If, however, the air entered in a body, or even in a film, in larger quan tities than could be taken up by the gas, before the tem perature was lowered, a refrigeratory effect must be the consequence, smoke would be formed and fuel would be wasted. It . was asserted that the_ phrase " burning smoke was improper, inasmuch as the smoke did not exist until the gases had left the furnace ; this was de monstrated by a diagram, showing that on d is tilli ng coal in a close vessel, and forcing in a small quantity of air, a jet of gas issued, which, on ignition at the ori fice, was almost colourless, then merged into flame, and ultimately became opaque smoke. It was stated, as an argument for the necessity for some stringent measure' with respect to the engine furnaces in all large, towns, that in the last nine years, between 1845 and 1853, 801 new chimney shafts had been erected in the metropolis for manmfactories, breweries, &c.. Some few of them might have been merely re-built, after destruetion, but the large majority caused additional impurity in the London atmosphere. From 1845 to 1851 the greatest number built in one year was 99 ; but in 1852 111 were constructed, and in. 1553 the number rose to 123. It was contended that, in dealing with the smoke ques tion, too much stress had been laid on the chemical part of the subject, as also, that the statement of its being " impossible to burn smoke" had complicated that which was, in itself, a simple question. All that the public cared about Was, that by some simple means the black or brown visible smoke should be prevented from forming, or be consumed, if its formation was inciden tal to perfect combustion. The air necessary to per form this could be admitted anywhere, either through a split bridge, by the fire-door, by an infinite num ber of holes, between plates, with narrow spaces, or by others arranged like Venetian blinds. Practically, the end could be attained h y the mechanical systems of Juckes, Hazeldine, H a ll, and others, or by the double furnace boilers of Galloway, Rose,, M‘Gavin, and others, or by the systenes of Williams, Prideaux, and many others. The objections alleged against all these plans were illustrated, and it was stated that, with ordinary boilers, the admission of air invariably reduced the eva porative power, or caused waste of fuel, unless there was a sharp draught, and spare boiler power ;. but that when these latter requisites were, secured the air .might, be ad mitted in any way practically found most convenient. The arrangement proposed by Mr. Prideaux was noticed as the most creditable teeeleanicism yet brought forward, but its neatness was its .onry recommendation, as it could not improve the draught, nor could it aid in " burning smoke" better than would be chine by merely leaving the furnace door ajar. The remarkable coincidence between the arrangement of the parallel plates in Prideaux's fire door and that of William's well-knewn and long-prac tised system was also noticed ; it being stated, as funda mental principles, that in the former system " the door of the furnace should be double, and the air should pass into the furnace through a series of perforations in the inner plate. By this arrangement three important re• sults are secured-1. The heating of the air. 2. Its subdivision into minute jets. This is the precise prin , cipie and operation of Mr. Williams's argand furnace. 3. The keeping of the outer surface of the furnace-deer comparatively cool, and thereby both economising heat and preventing its radiation outwardly, to the annoy ance of the attendants." Drawings were exhibited e double flue and double furnaoe-boiler, whose action was stated to be very. satisfactory ; the proportion of air space provided, in that case, was one square inch to each square foot of grate area. The admission of too large quantities of cold air immediately behind the bridge had been found prejudicial, and the system of admitting the supply of air through the perforations in the fire doer was generally preferred, The system of alternate firing, and of having ample boiler space and a good draught, was in sisted upon. It was stated, on behalf of the mechanical methods of firing, that at Price's candle manufactory, at Vauxhall o three methods, Hazeldine's, Jucke's, and Hall's were employed with success. The general prin ,,ciple of a continuous supply of fuel, at the front of the fire, by means of moving bars, carrying the coal for ward, was common to all these apparatus. The air was admitted only from below, and between the bars, which were always covered with fuel. The objections urged against these machines were, the first cost, and their liability to derangement. These, however, were now di- ThiOi e hed, particularly with those of. Juckes and Hazel dine, to which preference.was therefore given in the con strUction of new furnaces. They were found to pro duce almost perfect combustion, and to make a great saving of fuel, with other prattical advantages. Two cases were mentioned, as' illustrative of the necessity Of,adruitting the air above the, incandescent fuel—the first was that of the ventilating furnaces in pits where 'it was essential to raise, to a certain temperature, the 'largest amount of air by passing it .throngh or over the fuel in a furnace, in such a manner as to render the air as, light as possible, and not-to encumber it with smoke ; the second was that of coke Ovens, which were now constructed in' pairs, and were worked alternately, in - such a manner that the early smoke from one oven mingled with the later development of gases from the other oven ; by this means the appearance of any opaque smoke was entirely prevented. In reply to the argu ments in, the papers, and to some of those used by the speakers, it was urged, that even with the best con struction,of fur/lame, skilful firemen must be employed, and that it was desirable the subject should'be divested ...of 41, complexity, and should he :rendered" clear to the meanest capacities. - Instances were given of the advantageous employment of mechanical methods l o r t rii t ttn oki:ig Ha , particularly at o:, the whe b r re e veseiterxyeenf._ `bets rosf. Juckes's apparatus had been used for several years, and , had induced a great saving of fuel, as well as insured undeviating regielarity of temperature in the furnaces. The self-acting systems practised by Brunton and by ParkeS, many years since, were al luded to, and the reasons for their usebeing discontinued were given. The alleged defects of these systems were shown not to exist in theappareteis of Juckes, Hazel dine, and Hall, but that even they were up to this time Unfit' for use in steam-vessels, where, ,it had been imagined, that mechanical means of firing would have been most advantageous, but where, in reality, the heat in the furnaces was so intense as to destroy any ma chinery attached to .the fire-bars. The success attend ant on, Mr. Hould swor th' s sys t em f or p re venting smoke, and on his invention of the metal rod pyrometer, was described. = The general result of the 'investigation ap peared to be, that, although for certain' large establish ments, the mechanical methods of 'firing - were success-, ful, it could not be .expected they would be *opted for every furnace in the smallest manufactory; therefore, a good system of mingling a due proportion of atmos- Therio air: With - the gases- - -evOlvett - dunng '-combustion Avas - Vlssatiat: =dila itroloyad by lllieimr - appeared to fulfil the required eouditioae.
