Last most hilarious gentleman who has recently delighted the sporting world with his account of the vicissitudes and adventures of Mr. Soapy Sponge — having long before exhilarated his readers by his mention of Mr. Jorrock's Jaunts and Jollities—con- tinues his amusing record of Young Tom Hall's career both in regard to his llorses and his Heartaches. This conspicuous serial leads off the December number of the New Monthly right merrily, and therefore right seasonably in anticipation of the fes• tive time of Christmas. The rest of the magazine is, as usual, amusing in the miscellaneous character of its contributions. AINSWORTH. Among the contents of this favourite periodical the editor's reprint of " The Lancashire Witches" con tinues to occupy deservedly a conspicuous position— a fact which may be treated with the more considera tion now that Mr. Harrison Ainsworth has adven tured upon another original story in the instance of Mervyn Clitheroe." A fourth instalment of " Shaksperiana" introduces us to Shakspere as a manager. A legend of the Thames is recounted in the story about " Tbe Miser's Grandsons," and a continuation appears of " Florence Hamilton," by Miss Julia Addison. As a most graceful and a very exquisite example of the excellence sometimes at tained by magazine poetry, we give the following:— SUMMER IN DECEMBER. BY E. E. M. K. (Fon MUSIC.) They say the fly.vers are dead, Annie! That sunbeams cold are growing; That o'er the primrose bed, Annie! The wintry winds are blowing. They say no rose is blushing now Of all they well remember, And yet on thy sweet cheek, I vow, "fie Summer in December! They say the lilies fell, Annie! Ere yellow leaves were shaken; That violets breathed '° farewell," Annie! Ere apple buds did waken: While I in these fair eyes of thine, Like some they may remember, Sco violets still, arid that breast shine With lilies in December! They say the songs are hushed, Annie! That silv'ry rills are sleeping— That Music's soul is crushed, Annie ! With frost-chains o'er it creeping. They say the melody is gone We all so well remember; Y©t here thy dear voice warbles on, A soft rill in December! They say no sunbeams now, Annie! O'er rosy fruits are stealing— Nor ripe tints deck the bough, Annie! Where ice-drops hang congealing: Al'! they know not the dazzling smile Like Ilene they could remember! That o'er those cherry lips the while Makes Summer in December! Another legend is given us in the December num ber of Ainsw•orlh, but this time it refers to Whitby, and not to the Thames. A third chapter of " Vel thinas," a biography, relates to the ordeal of sacri fice ; and the thirty-eighth chapter of " The Confe derates" relates to those days of Margaret of Parma which of all others have tended most to the develop ment of the narrative. Yet another story is recounted in the pages of Ainsworth, Mrs. Edward Thomas being the tarrator, and her theme being entitled " The Tables Turned." Such are among the agree able papars in the current number of not the least of the popular publications. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, DEC. 9.

DEATH OF LIEUTENANT-GENERAL SIR GEORGE QUENTIN, c.B. This venerable and highly-distinguished officer ex pired on the 7th inst., at his residence in Great Cumber land-street, Hyde-park, at the advanced age of 92.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 6,000 baler, of which 1,500 American and 500 Surat were taken on speculation. The market closed heavily, American and Surat in favour of buyers. The sales comprised 3,500 American, 200 Pernana and Maran ham at sil. to 6id., 150 Egyptian at sid. to Bd., and 2,500 Surat at 24d. to 31d. per lb.—Railway Shares were firm. The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 365. 9d. per quarter. The prospects of the Siskawit mine, on Isle Royal, Lake Superior, have been very much brightened this season, and it is fast assuming a rank among the best mines in the country. This company are at work on two veins, and obtain stamp work and barrel work from each. In the south vein small masses are found, and a ton of stamp copper is produced per week. Isle Royal Company has proved a valuable location. The Pittsburgh and Isle Royal Company also show a profitable mine. They took out ono mass weighing 1,2001b5. The New York and Michigan Mining Company find the vein promising. They have taken out some fine lumps of native work lately, and they mean to prosecute their work vigorously during the winter. At the Norwich Mines they have lately thrown down a large mass of copper, and the vein constantly improves. There is the most encouraging prospect for this company, and the large force they are putting on to it for the winter will have a fine lot of copper out by spring. The Ohio Trap Rock Company have the same vein as the Norwich. and the same encouraging prospects before them. The ancient diggings are quite extensive on this location, and wherever they have cleared cut these pits they find a wide and rich-looking vein, that promises well for their success. The town of Zara (Turkey) is represented in advises received to-day to have been visited by a severe shock of an earthquake. Several hundred persona were killed. The accounts from the Stock Markets of the Continent are extraordinary as respects the elasticity which has arisen upon the French news. The rise at Frankfort is 6 or 7 per cent., and at Vienna and other places there is a corresponding improvement. C..n Adoring that this is settling-day, !dear a very heavy Account, the English Stock Market has been much quieter than could have been Expected, and the dif ferences will apparently be met with ease, al though many have been severe losers by the sudden reaction, and being most anxious to close while appearances were bad, lost the opportunity of retrievement afforded by the subsequent rally. With the glut of mosey, the continued influx of bullion, and accruing interest upon Consols, two months being now due upon them, it is not improbable that, as upon so many previous occasions, they will stand before the opening in January as high ex dividend as they now do with it, and the fall affords buyers for investment an opportunity of coming in, if so disposed. The payment of the differences will be made to-morrow. Consols were in the early part of the present Account at 98i i; on the 19th ult. they reached 99i; on the sth inst. they had fallen back to 96 a, and to-day they have ranged from 971 to 971,- for Transfer, and 971 to 98 for January Account.

Two mounted constables of the V division were dispatched to London for fire-engines, and in the mean time Mr. John Augustus Beaumont's pow erful engine was brought from that gentleman's residence, West-hill, as also the Putney engine. Mr. Bicknell, the superintendent of the V division, assisted by Inspector Persse, Acting-inspector Burchell, and Sergeant &targuard, with a large body of constables, were soon at the spot, and rendered the most efficient assistance in checking the pro gress of the flames towards the farm buildings, which are I somewhat extensive, and comprise a large barn, stables, caw house, and extensive piggery, containing a considerable number of fatted and store pigs; all these were rescued by the police, and the fire confined to the rick and a few out buildings long before the London engines made their appear ance. A poor man, named Wood, who is allowed to sleep in one of the out-houses by the proprietor, had a narrow escape of his life, being asleep at the time the fire broke out, but he was rescued just in time by one of the police. The property destroyed is estimated at over 2CO/., but is covered by in surance in the County Fire-office. This is the third incen diary fire in this locality within six weeks—one at Mr. Rex's, Upper Richmond-road, Putney, and a second at Mr. Robert Hutton's, Putney-park-lane. In each instance they were hay ricks. Mr. Hutton, who is a county magistrate, and great coach-maker at Dublin, has offered a reward of 501 . for the apprehension and conviction of the party or parties who fired his stack. • ELECTRIC TELOGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION. The number of telegraphic stations now open, and in connexion with the central station of the Electric Telegraph Company, in Lothbury, amount to 226, embracing all the principal towns in this kingdom, between which commercial and pri vate dispatches are transmitted and answers obtained in a few minutes. Of the total 226 stations, nearly 70 are prin cipal commercial stations, at which the attendance is what is called constant, that is to say, day and night ; the lengths of the lines of communication extending over 2,500 miles, with 800 in progress of suspension. MAGAZINES, &c.—(CONTINUED) BLACK WOOD. After a rather prp.y, bat, 0, 17i;e:4, very energetic, srgutof!ot in behalf of the printirlT , of Protection, pr ,,, ented to the pahlie in the form of an address " To the thol..liepers of Great Britain," the readers of Maga ore treated to an in teresting paper, t-ntitled, " Th:s Jew's Legacy," being a tale of the siege of Gibral tar. A descriptive work on " Forest Life and Forest Trees," by Mr. Springer, a work which doubtless would have proved deli , / table to good old Mr. Evelyn, the Diarist, has suggested the next article in the ma gazine in the form of an agreeable and lively delinea tion of " Life among the Loggers.," Then we come to the serial which, for sixteen months, has been the principle attraction in Bluclareod—"My Novel; or Varieties is English Life," by Pisistratus Caxton. In the instalment beiare us we have much about those fine creations peo pling the rural scenery of liaziedean. Ricca hocca seems for the while to be getting involved in the meshes of Randal's base and selfish intrigues. He is persuaded to remove to the vicinity of London with Violante, and the chapter in which his English wife, Jemima, is restored to 'his confidence, is replete with those eloquent touches of natural pathos for which the writings of Sir Bulwer Lytton have been so frequently remarkable. Squire 1-Lziedean, more over, appears to be getting involved in the same entangled webwork of misstatements. The embarass ing position in which Randal is placed by the Squire's movement towards the farmyard is laughable enough. We entertain a malicious regret for his escapc, even though it be by such consummate adroitness. There can be no doubt upon any reader's mind as to the author of the little book which has just appeared, to the delight of the literary world, and the fame of which has penetrated even to the drawing-rooms of Hazledean. We await the re-appearance of Leonard Fairfield, as an author of some celebrity. Egerton we expect to die suddenly —as suddenly and unexpectedly as Lord George Bentinek. Baron Levy is capitally sketched, and sketched, too, manifestly from the life. An excellent review of " Johnstone's Notes on North America " follows the novel of Pisistratus, and this again is suc ceeded by an admirable criticism on the lion. Fre derick Walpole's " Ansayrii," in which we travel again through that glorious east, which has been so recently and wondrously opened up to our view by Kinglake and Warburton. After this, as the doting contribution for the year, comes a some what valuable argument in reference to the system of railways. OFFICIAL ACCOUNT. The followinee report relative to the attack upon Salee hes beau addressed to toe Minister of l‘larine, by Adinirat Dabourdieu!-- " On beaed the Henri IV. ship-of-the-line, at Sea, Nsvembsr 27. " Monsieur lo Ministre,—As I had the honour of an nouncing to ycu in my letter of the 23d of thie month, I left the roadstead of Cadiz on the 24th, to proceed to Salee. The weather was magnificent, and the Henri IV., being towed by the Comer, went along at the rate of upwards of six knots an hour. At the approach of night, I sent forward the Caton with two summonses addressed to the caids of Rebel and of Sake. A letter was also written to the Consul of England at Rabat, to offer him and his family, and the Christians who hap pened to be in the town, an asylum on board the Caton, which was to be three hours in advance of 11 3 . "On the 25th, at eleven in the morning, the Caton came to anchor near Rabat, and delivered our dispatches to the reins of that port. Answers were promised in a delay of three hours. At two in the afternoon my divi- Sion arrived and placed itself at the entrance of the river in the position which I had assigned the several vessels. I caused the Henri IV. to be towed by the Gamer within two cable lengths and a half of the laul, between the north-west and south-west forts of Sake, in order to be able to fire at both at the same time. The Gomer and Sar4 steam frigates were ordered to keep their steam up on the two sides of my lino of operation, but further from the shore than the Henri IV., in order to support our attack. The Caton and the Nerved were to place themselves at the extreme limit of the range of the forts, ready to aid the other vessels. " By tin order of the day, in ide known at sea by sig nals, I had announced to my division that the French Government was sending ue to Salee to claim satisrac- ti. n for an act of piracy committed by the inhabitants of that town. The crews received the intelligence with the greatest enthusiasm. " The forts of Rabat and of Sake, covered with 'ample ' made no opposition to our taking up our posi tion. Notwithstanding the advanced hour of the day, the delay of one hour which I hal accorded in my sum mons to the caid of Sake having expired, I determined to commence the action, but the Freach Consul had not yet returned from shore, and humanity imposed it as a duty on me not to expose him and his family to the cruelty of a population fanatically excited against Chris tians. I consequently awaited the arrival of this family, and at four o'clock M. Elton, the consul, issued from the river, bringing us back the reply of the caids. The caid of Rabat gave it to be understood, that in ease of conflict ho would abstain from participating in a quarrel originating in mutters to which he was completely a stranger; but I placed little confidence in that promise, because it appeared to me impossible that these two towns, so intimately connected together, and placed only a few metres from each other on the two sides of the river, of which they commanded the entrance, could remain without aiding each other against an attack from unbelievers. As to the caid of Salee, he asked for six days to ask the orders of the Emperor. This was evi dently a feint, as for the last eight months the orders of Muley Abdorahmau ought to have been taken. " These preliminaries being accomplished, there only remained for me to carry into execution the will of the French Government, that is to say, to make an example, and to take ourselves the satisfaction which the pirates of Salee had the impudence to refuse us. The day, how ever, was too far advanced to open an attack on the place, it being near sunset. I, therefore, decided on quitting the offensive position I had taken up, and an choring at a greater distance from the land, and defer ring until the next morning the employment of force. "At daybreak on the 26th, the English steamer Janus arrived from Gibraltar. I turned over to the captain of this vessel the Englishmen to whom I had given an asylum on board the Caton. I was prevented by a thick fog from commencing my aggressive movement until nine o'clock. At that hour, I formed a new line of at• tack, modified according to the state of the sea. I placed the Henri IV. at about five cables length across the north-west fort of Sake in such manner that her fire might be directed both against that battery and the in termediate forts. The Gomer towed us into our position with great precision. The Sat, by my orders, placed herself to my .right, at a good distance from the forts, but close enough to use her guns with good effect. The Gomer under steam kept herself ready to direct her fire according to my orders. The small craft placed them selves out of the reach of the batteries. "At ten o'clock all my arrangmeuts were made; the forts were prepared for defence; the numerous embra • sores were filled with cannon of heavy calibre, and all directed towards us. After assuring myself that their intention was not to give the moderate satisfaction de manded, it only remained for me to make my cannon speak. " I opened the fire on the two forts with a cry of Vive la REpublique, which was repeated with enthusiasm by our brave crews. The batteries on shore immediately replied; those of Rabat, even the most distant, followed the example of those of Saleo, but at long intervals. I had ordered that no attention should be paid to the firing from the forts of Rabat, as I wished to confine my chastisement to its neighbour. This determination was attended with a positive success. Rabat, finding that we did not return its fire, fancied that we were beyond its reach, and therefore fired but very seldom; the balls however went past us, and some of them took effect. After the first Lour the firing of the forts of Salce slack ened, but it again rallied, as I suppose the gunners, finding themselves useless at Reba, came to assist the Salee men. Their guns were aimed with remarkable precision. " The swell of the sea rendered our aim very diffieult, but the skill of our gunners obtaiuod astonishing re sults; the north-west fort had all its embrasures demo lished, and its guns dismounted, when the firing from that of the south-west became more animated. Is was not until five in the evening, after an engagement of seven hours, that the forts and batteries were completely silenced. "The results were obtained by the - combined efforts of the Henri IV. and the two frigates Gomer and Sa , é During the engagement I several times directrd the tire of our largest mortars on the principal mosque and the town of Sake, placed at the summit of a bill at some distance. Six shells went through the minaret, and a great number of houses were struck. A tiro brae out on several points, and was seen burning during the night atter our departure. " I thought it right to maintain my position for some time after nightfall. Tlri Henri IV. continued to die charge shots and shells until a quarter to seven. It was then only that I quitted the post of attack, and placed my ships within the outer roadstead. A good number of shot struck our ship, but chiefly in the masts and rigging. Thu Henri IV., however, was struck in several parts of the hull, and her main topmast was cut in two by a ball. The Sane antlered more than the Gomer, but sustained no serious injury. Our losses, happily, are not considerable. The Henri IV. had one man killed and nine wounded; the Sane three killed and nine wounded. At ten, the intentions of the Government having been executed, I quitted the coast, and sent my ships to the destinwions prescribed by my instructions." The report concludes with a notice of the zeal displayed by the officers and cre a s of all the ships en gaged, and a special notice of acts of valour on the part of some officers and seamen. LOUIS NAPOLEON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Slll,—People are much puzzled to know who is " the one base exception" alluded to by the virtuous Times, as refraining from uniting in the vitupera tions indulged in by "the leading journal" (!) and certain of its contemporaries, against the recent vigorous measur..i adopted by the French President. I perceive that this unblushing piece of impertinence on the part of the new Orleans organ is handled with a felicitous reprobation in the columns of the Morning Post of to-day, but, strange to say, the writer, whilst showing that the Herald, Chronicle, Standard, Globe, and even Daily News may compete for the honour of being complimented by the ribald epithet of the limes, makes no mention whatsoever of the two daily journals which have given Louis Napo leon an honest and independent support, with, I make bold to say, a superior spirit, ability and straight forwardness to the rest. The Sun and the Morning Advertiser may possibly be considered too ultra liberal for the refined susceptibilities of the Post—tco "radical" to be mentioned in the pages of " the record of fashion." The public will, however, do justice to those tried and unswerving champions of liberty. Their antecedents are a sufficient guarantee that in countenancing the temporary dictatorship of Louis Napoleon, essential to prevent the frightful reign of anarchy, or the re storation of Brummagem Kingcraft in France, they are actuated by no other motives than those of a de sire to see the consolidation of Republican liberty iu that country, through the development of the great principles on which the President appeals to his brother Frenchmen—universal suffrage and secret voting. Whatever difference of opinion may exist on this side of the Channel on those matters, you may depend upon it, that in journalism, as in everything else, " Honesty is the best policy :" and that, by pursuing in this, as in all other instances, your es-, tablished system of treating subjects, whether of domestic or foreign policy, according to your honest convictions, and in a staunch and steady spirit of liberalism, you will far more honourably and profitably discharge your vocation, and effect more utility within the sphere of your action, than by dealing in servility and sophistry, misrepresentation and calumny, presented, in however dexterous or imposing language, even were you thereby to get yourself, or some immediate friend, pitchforked into an appointment at the Courts of Naples or Vienna.

Lee Act for this line, which was intended to firm the connecting link between the Birmingham and Oeford, and the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley Rail ways, and E 0 complete the broad gauge circuit with Brist o l an d the south-west o f E ng l an d , was passed in the month of July, 1846. Subsequent events, however, caused the suspension of these works in 1849, before their final completion. The line com menced near th e Coventry -road and was to have ter minated at Great Charles -street. From Adderley street to Park-street, b ot h i nclusive the town was crossed by a viaduct; and from Moor , -street Mon mouth-street, the line passed under highest of of a tunnel, which was to have been covered way, that is, by opnii.g. the c„ . ro istru i eted , a , e of bri i c t k as vo 3 r . k e , t a c ! o id itip ar te in i, u u nt . , pu . ttin,„ t end the i p n a r t t h s lligh•street, being about 142 yards in 1-n executed in this manner . it was 27 foot s ft' width as at the level of the rails, and was built entirely of Staffordshire brick set in mortar, with r t e ti i . exception of the arch lengths through Carr's-lane: which were set in cement. The average rate of ore reet progress in the tunnel was 8.1 lineal yards per week. from o v er means to The viaduct consisted of 57 opening:, composed of nine segments, each 30 feet span and 6 feet rise; 15 semi-circles, also 30 feet spat' and 15 feet rise; 15 semi-ellipses, each 15 feet rise, and varying in span from 37 feet to 48 feet; and six street bridges, mostly skew, and varying in form, Epan, and rise. Its total length was 930 yards, general width, from face to face. 31 feet 71 inches, and between the parapets at the level of the rails 29 feet. It was built entirely of brick work set in mortar, with the exception of the soffit of the bridge over Park- street, which was con structed of cast-iron girders, with a cross transomed Memel flooring. The red brick of the district was internal used throughout the f oo ti ng s, the work of the piers, and the spandril walls; the arcbe3 and parapets were constructed o f Staffordshire brick from the " common stock"—the copings, mouldings, and dentals being made of Sedfordshire brick clay; and the whole of the work was faced with Staffordshire " best blue." All the brick work was set in moist mortar, so as to press to a thin joint, and in hot wea ther the bricks were k e pt cons t an tly wet. The mor tar used in the work was composed of the red sand of the locality, and Dudley, or Greaves' blue has lime—the latter being used in all foundations, arches, and face work—mixed in the proportions of one part of slaked lime to two parts of sand, and worked by a steam-mill, driven by a 4.horse power engine, made by Mr. Nathan Gough, Assoc. Inst. C E., of Man chester. This mill was capable of supplying fifty bricklayers p r day with a mortar of a perfectly even texture, entirely free from lumps, and therefore less likely to become vesicular, from the trans-filtration of water, than that mixed by the common pug -mill. Etch set of centres consisted of five ribs, each rib being supported on two vertical and two sloping props, the former under the heels of the ribs, and the latter under the points where the struts of the ribs termi nated in an iron shoe. The leggings used were 3-inch deals, carefully dressed by the adze to the proper curves, and lined for the courses of the skew arches. Corbels of heading bricks were carried out from the backs of the arches in the range of the spandril walls, of equal width with them, and connected by brick beams from arch to arch, for stiffening and equalising the pressure from end to end of the viaduct; and the useful effect of this mode of construction was proved by the comparatively small amount of the settlements of the arches. The author then proceeded to give a more particu lar description of the different works, for the draw ings illustrative of which the isometric projection had l i been chiefly adopted, and the sections taken so that every dimension might be obtained; orthographic sections of the details were added, in some cases, in order to render the various parts more distinct. These drawings were made by the author's pupils of the first year, in the engineering class of Queen's College, Cork. The various modes adopted, and mechanical contrivances used, for raising the mate rials to a considerable height, were described ; and deductions were drawn from a very numerous series of experiments, to ascertain the values for the useful effect produced by the "Labouring Force" (Whewell). or "Travail Mecanique" (Poncelet), of a man under different modes of its application, and also for horse under alternating motion over a short space. From these it appeared that the relative costs of rais ing the materials to a height of forty-six feet, by the horse-lift, the swing -lift, and the box-lift, were 3.08, 5.90, and 4.13 pence per ton respectively, showing a saving in favour of the horse-lift ag tinst the swing lift of nearly 31. per ton, and against the box•lift of rather above ld. per ton. The communication was accompanied by a mo,t elaborate series of tables on the absorption of water by bricks, by mortar, and by Shrewley sandstone— of the settlements of the arches of the street bridges —of the work performed by the various lifts, under different circumstances, with the concurrent particu lars, and that by ordinary hodmen. The following paper was announced to be read at the meeting of Tuesday, December 16th:—" On the Alluvial Formations, and the Local Changes, of the South Eastern Coast of Eagland. First section— River Thames to Portland," by Mr. J. B. Redman, M. Inst. C. E. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. The Royal Polytechnic Institution re-opened yes terday, after having been closed for a month fur the purpose of enabling the proprietors to mike arrange ments for the exhibition of several articles which, on the close of the Great Exhibition in Hyde-park, were removed to the Royal Polytechnic Institution. Among these articles the one that appeared to attract most general attention was Mr. Dawson's autophon, or improved organ, the mechanism of which was ad mirably explained by the inventor, who played several pieces on it much to the delight of the coin pany, several of whom subsequently played on it, being, as they expressed it, the first time in their lives they had ever played an organ. The autophon sounds admirably in its new locality ; its fine rich tones producing a magnificent effect. The lecture, which was by Mr. J. H. Pepper, was on agricultural che mistry, and was chiefly devoted to a description of a visit recently made by that gentleman to Mr. Mechi's farm, at Tiptree Mall, of which a model is exhibited and explained in the institution. He particularly il lustrated the process of drainage and ploughing ap plied to " the thirty-acre field' on that farm, which had resulted in a vast improvement in the soil, and a consequent abundance of crops. After adverting eulogistically to the subsidiary purpose to which Mr. Mechi turned the water drained from his land— the formation of a pretty ornamental lake, and the occasional irrigation of a kitchen garden—the lee turer proceeded to describe the arrangements con nected with the various farm-buildings at Tiptree, beginning with the steam engine on the high pressure and locomotive principles, which, in addition to the directly useful ends to which it was applied in the farm-yard, had the merit of practically consuming its own smoke. The cattle sheds strongly attracted his attention, particularly the principle on which the floors were constructed, the boards of which, being placed two or three inches asunder, admitted of the manure from the cattle being trodden through the insterstices by the animals themselves, and received into reservoirs beneath, whilst it had the equally im portant effect of maintaining the stalls in a constant state of cleanliness. By darkening the sheds, too, Mr. Mechi had been able to rid the animals of the torture they otherwise suffered from flies in summer, whilst the fattening process was in ope ration, for it bad been found that the common fly would not bite in the clink. The lecturer concluded with some interesting remarks on the nature and effects of manures, and also explanatory of the system of the rotation of crops among practical farmers, and which was founded on a beautiful provision of nature itself, that rendered the Boil partially exhausted by one crop fit for the reception and growth of another. The lec ture was immediately followed by another from Dr. Bachhoffner, on the Philosophy of Scientific Recrea tion, got up solely for the amusement of the juvenile portion of the community during the approaching Christmas. Long before the hour appointed for the lecture the door was besieged by a clamorous host of little men and women anxious to realise their expec tations of the treat which the professor had prepared fur them inside, and, once admitted, their gratification gave audible vent, at frequent intervals, as the lec turer, by a serie s o f beautiful experiments, explained o -magnetism the principles o f e l eetr • stin,culia citiesthe pressure of the atmosph ere , an d some of the science of opti cs . ceedingly bea u tif u l . ne new di sso l v i ng v i e ws are e . a • pe T INTERESTING FACT.—The following singular end authentic case of restoration of the human hair is worthy of observation, more particularly as it relates to an article of high and universal repute during the last half century. Mr. A.. Herrmann, of Queen-street, toho, had been quite bald for some time past, and had tried various preparations for the recovery of his hair, but without any beneficial result. He was then induced to try the effects of " Rowlands' Macassar Oil," and after daily applying it for about two months, he, much to his gratification, had his hair quite restored, and now possesses a beautiful head of hair. This fact speaks too strongly for itself require comment.—Bell's Weekly Mes senger.

ADMIRAL.
