CODPFX, See, 85, Queen-street, Oheapside. GENERAL _PRANK BLAIR. The New York, Evening Post gives the following account of the Democratic candidate for Vice-Pre sident :—" Francis Preston Blair, jun., has been a resident of St. Louis, since the year IS4I. He was born in Lexington, Kentucky, Feb. 21, 1821, and at the age of 20 was graduated at Princeton, New York. His brother, Montgomery Blair, was then a resident of St. Louis, and on his arrival in this city Frank Blair began the practice of law in partnership with his brother. Their old office on the corner of Third and Chestnut-streets is well re membered. Frank has been an inveterate office seeker since 1852, when he was first elected to the Legislature on the Benton ticket. He was re-elected in 1851, although on the same occasion Colonel Benton himself was defeated for Congress. In 1856 Blair was elected to Congress as a Benton freesoiler, but in 1858 he was defeated by J. R. Barrett. He contested Barrett's seat, and the House of Representatives ordered a new election, which took place in August, 1860. Blair and Barrett were both candidates for the long and short term, and both were elected—Blair for the long and Barrett for the short term. Blair ran again in 1862, and was returned as elected, but Samuel Knox, the Radical candidate, successfully contested the election, and Blair was ousted. In 1866 Blair was the Conservative candidate for the Legislature, and was defeated by the Radical. He was to have been the candidate of the party for United States Senator had the Conservatives carried the Legislature that year, but as they did not, he remained in the background, and allowed his hench man, Samuel T. Glover, to receive the complimen tary vote. This was his last effort until now. It is believed that if he is defeated in November, and his party have the next Missouri Legislature, he will turn up as a Senatorial candidate. Hie modesty in asking office will never ruin him. General Blair about the year 1845 married Miss Alexander, of Kentucky, who is still living. They now have seven children. the eldest of whom, Andrew, is a cadet in the United States Naval Academy at An napolis, Maryland. General Blair resides at No. 1,129, Washington-avenue, but is building a fine residence on the corner of Chestnut-street and Leffingwell-avenue. He is entered in the direc tory as president of the ' Firemen's Insurance Com pany,' but this is said to be an imposition—the company being a fraudulent concern, and Blair having been inveigled into it without knowing its true character. Among Blair's relations in this State two of his cousins represent extremes in politica. One is B. Gratz Brown, late United States Senator and a Radical, and the other the famo us rebel horseman, General Joe Kirby, a Conserva tive. General Blair weighs about 1551b5., and stands about 5 feet 7 inches in his stockings. His walk is free and swinging, and his speech a mixture of the Southern dialect with the enunciation of Princeton. It was once described by the Cincinatti Commercial as the Anglo-African.' His mous tache, hair, and complexion are all sandy, his eyes are small, greyish in colour, and twinkling ; his forehead is high and rather commanding. He is easily approached and affable in his conversation. He is not a rigid devotee of temperance principles, and can probably mingle in the social circle as com fortably as a majority of men of his strength. He is possessed of some property, but not nearly so much as before the war. His private business is not closely attended to, and he is never likely to accumulate large wealth. While practising law he bought land in St • 1 - DERBY MEETING.-WEDNESDAY.

Count Miinster, a member of the Federal Parliament, and late Ambassador of Hanover at the Prussian Court, has just published a pamphlet, entitled " The Confederation of the North German Bund, and its transformation into the German Empire." In this pamphlet the former Hanoverian diplomatist openly advo cates the dethronement of the German Kings of the second and third rank, the substitu tion of a Chamber of Princes, as peers of the German Empire, in place of th e exis ti ng Fede ral Council, and the creation of a Federal Ministry. The Chambers of the Federal States, according to this plan, are to be con verted into Provincial Diets, with large and independent powers, and the Prussian House of Deputies, as well as the Upper House, to be abolished. This Upper House, however, would be replaced by the new Chamber of German Princes, composed of Kings and of Royal and hereditary Princes of reigning Houses. Such a Chamber, the author argues, would exercise a much more Conservative influence on the development of the institutions of the German Empire than the present Prussian House of Peers. The preponderance which such a Con stitution gives to the feudal element is not in keeping with Prussian exclusiveness and love of domination exactly to suit the taste and policy of Count Bismarck. But the arro gant character of the Prussian plan of merg ing Germany into Prussia is still exciting in South Germany an opposition that even the obstinate patience of Count Bismarck will not easily overcome. But what Prussia of itself could not effect may be brought about by the lapse of Austria into the hands of Revolu tionary Liberalism. For Austria, as the active propagandist of a Germany united under revo lutionary and irreligious democracy will be more abhorrent to the Catholics of South Germany than Prussian despotism. Austrian Liberalism is doing Count Bismarck's work. By getting up a socialistic and irreligious movement, by seeking alliance with the irreli gious party throughout Germany, the pro moters of German unity, encouraged as they are by the present rulers of Austria, will make Prussian domination a welcome refuge for the Catholics and Conservatives of South Ger many. At the late meeting of the riflemen of Germany at Vienna, where all the scum of the Revolution in Germany was brought together under the tutelage of Viennese Liberalism, the amalgamation o f th e Ger mans of Austria with the rest of Germany, was declared to be an absolute condition of preserving their German nationality. If the German lands of Austria are not re united to Germany, urged one speaker, a Jewish member of the Reichsrath, we shall witness them undergo the sad fate of the Russian provinces of the Baltic Sea, or even of Alsace and Lorraine. How this union of the German lands of Austria with the rest of Germany was to be effected was left unex plained, in order not prematurely to excite the interference of Prussia. But that Prussia will quietly stand by and allow the revolu tionary propagandism to make use o f A u st r i a , in order to wor out a unity of Germany, demo cratic and irreligious in its character, subver sive of every existing institution, and of neces sity aggressive against the established order of things in Prussia as well as in South Ger many, is not to be expected. But what we think is to be expected from the policy of Count Bismarck is a patient abstention from open interference until Austria under Baron von Beust has fatally and irretrievably com mitted itself to this Democratic and revolu tionary propagandism, until South Germany , is not only completely alienated from Aus tria, but is driven to regard Prussia as th e upholder of order, of monarchy, and of reli gion in Germany. When such time arrives, and from the appearance of things in Austria it may come much sooner than is expected, Prussia will have achieved the height of its ambition, for it will claim as its due, after the dispersion of German Democracy and the breaking up of revolutionary Austria, the forfeited Empire of Germany.—Westminster Gazette. INCREASE IN THE MIDDLESEX COUNTY RATE.—A deputation from the overseers and vestrymen of twenty nine parishes of the county of Middlesex waited on Mon day upon the members of the Assessment Committee of the County of Middlesex, at the Sessions House, Clerken well. Mr. Dangerfield, vestry clerk of St. Martin's-in-the- Fields, and the vestry clerk of St. Mary, Whitechapel, having pointed out that the re-assessment proposed act most prejudicially to th. •-- '1 ~.0 ~~~ THE B.R.MISII ASSO, ON. NORWICH, WEDNESDAY. To Speak for the nonce without due regard to the classi• calities, the executive committee are thrown on their beam ends. The corporation won't vote supplies! The customary thing when the Association visits a particular town is for the municipal body to grant a sum from the public funds towards defraying the heavy expenses incurred. The application of the committee, upon whom the whole of the trouble of making and carrying out the necessary arrange. ments has devolved, has been point blank refused. With not a stiver will the corporation part, pleading that there is ne precedent in their history for such an expenditure. This is pleasant for the executive, and especially for the mayor, who I am told has hitherto paid for everything out of his own pocket. To say the least of it, the refusal of the cor poration is ungenerous, for the sojourn for more than a week of so large a number of visitors as have attended the meeting this year must have given a perceptible impetus to the trade of the city. Of the efforts made by the committee for the accommoaa tion of the Association it is impossible to speak too highly. We shall thank them heartily enough at the general meet ing presently, but thanks will do little to recoup them their loss. I believe it was fully expected that the Town Council would have contributed a couple of hundred pounds. As one of the local secretaries feelingly remarked, they cheerfully voted the sum of £BOO towards the expenses incurred by the visit of the Prince of Wales, and now object to give a shilling for the entertainment of the Asso ciation. This would seem to skew that the members of the corporation are more loyal than learned. Had itnotbeen for the experiments, Dr. Odling's lecture on "Reverse Chemical Actions" last night, clever as it was, would have been voted somewhat slow. There was a very fair attendance in the Drill Hall, quite as large as could 4 have been expected, considering the festivities going on at St. Andrew's Hall. Dr. Hooker introduced the lecturer, modestly saying that he himself was totally ignorant of the subject, which was indeed so new that he had not been able to obtain any information upon it from his chemical friends. Dr. Odling then took possession of the rostrum behind a very formidable array of retorts and other appliances of the laboratory, and for an hour -and a half discoursed very learnedly on the mysteries of chemical combinations, and demonstrated by a series of brilliant experiments the immense degree of heat produced by the union of oxygen and hydrogen gases. This led the doctor to explain what we were to under• stand by reverse chemical actions—viz., those actions which did not take place by themselves, but were pro duced by external force, which force became stored up in the products themselves. The delight of the ladies at the experiments was immense, a sentiment which was shared by the reporters, who, sitting immediately under the platform, felt that while they were taking notes for the benefit of the public, they were in danger of becoming victims to science from flying sparks and escape ing flints. The Mayor, who, it may be stated, is an almost universal benefactor—for is he not the maker of Colman's patent mustard ?—raised a good laugh at the end of the lecture by stating that the local secretaries had effected an extra insurance on the building, under the anticipation that it would be burnt to the ground, and expressing the gratitude of those' on the platform that it had passed off without a blow-up. Such a catastrophe would certainly have been most disastrous, for sitting immediately behind the lecturer were the bishop of the diocese and the president of the Association. The men whose forte is chemistry, I noticed, retired to a greater distance. No sooner was the chemical disser• tation concluded than a rush was made to the soirée, the arrangements of which were a reproduction of those on Thursday, excepting that the officials of the cloak-room were changed, and we felt, in confiding our hats and coats to their keeping, that we were not consigning them to a bourne whence they might never return. The band happening to strike up a popular piece of dance music, a dozen enterprising couples soon cleared a space in the ball and figured away to their hearts' content. This afternoon the Mayor entertains the principal mem bers of the Association at a banquet in St. Andrew's Hall, and in the evening Professor Huxley delivers his lecture to the working classes on "A piece of chalk." This, how ever, is not connected with the Association, the official programme of which concluded with the proceedings at the general meeting reported below, to-morrow being devoted solely to excursions. PHOTOGRAPHS OF PLANTS. Professor KARL KocH called the attention of the mem• hers of the department of Zoology and Botany to the necessity for having photographs in order to carry out the systematic comparison of placts, for some plants when dead gave only a bad idea of physiognomy. The pro. fessor pointed out that in the Botanic Gardens at Berlin there was a collection of photographs of plants, and the possessors of gardens and greenhouses were invited to con tribute photographs of interesting trees and plants. OC.TATD MECHANICAL SCIENCE. The probable connection between the resistance of ships and their mean depth of immersion was the subject of a communication to this section by Professor RANKINE, C.E. The paper pointed cut that it was mooted some time ago that when a wave in water was raised by a floating solid body which was propelled at a speed greater than the natural speed of the wave, the ridge of the wave assumed an oblique position, and the wave ad vanced obliquely, so that while it travelled at its own natural speed in a direction perpendicular to its ridge-line, it at the same time accompanied the motion of the solid body at a greater speed. The angle of obliquity of the advance of the wave was such that its cosine was the ratio of the natural speed of the wave to the speed of the solid body. It was at the same time pointed out that under those circumstances there was an. additional breadth of wave raised in each second expressed by the product of the speed of the solid body into the sine of the obliquity; that in raising that additional breadth of wave per second energy was expended, and thus that a rapidly-increasing additional term was intro duced into the resistance to the motion of the solid body so soon as its speed exceeded the natural speed of the waves which it raised. In a paper read to the Royal Society in May 1868, it was shown that for all waves there was a relation between the natural speed and the virtual depth of uniform disturbance ; that is to say, the depth to which a uniform disturbance equal to the disturbance of the surface particles would have to extend in order to make a total volume of disturb ance of the water equal to the actual volume of disturb ance. That relation was, that the speed of advance of the waves was that due to a fall of half the virtual depth. In another paper,read to the Institution of Naval Architects in 1868, it was shewn that any ship was probably accompanied by waves whose natural speed depended on the virtual depth to which she disturbed the water, and that conse quently when the speed of the ship exceeded that natural speed there was probably an additional term in the resist ance depending on such excess. The object of Professor. Rankine in his communication was to call the attention of the British Association, and especially of the committee on steamship performances, to the probable existence of this hitherto neglected element in the resist ance of ships, and to suggest that suitable observa tions and calculations should be made in order to discover its amount and its laws. .In an appendix to his paper, the professor gave the results of the three operations he had made of the speed of advance of the obliquely-diverging waves raised by ships. The waves in each case were those which follow the stern of the vessels, and the vessels were all paddle-steamers. Care was taken to observe the positions of the wave ridges where they were beyond the influence of the paddle. The virtual depth corresponding to the speed of advance of those waves was calculated in each case, and it was found to agree very nearly with the mean depth o: immersion. Few as the observations were, they were st.ffloient to prove the existence of waves whose speed of advance depended on the depth to which the vessel dit•turlel the water. The connection between those waves and the resistance remained a subject for future investigation. THE CONCLUDING MEETING. The concluding general meeting was held at half-past two o'clock, in St. Peter's HalL Dr. Hooker, president of the Association, occupied the chair. Mr. THOMPSON, one of the joint secretaries, read a list of the grants of money for scientific purposes made by the Association, amongst which was one for maintaining the establishment of Kew Obs3reatory, £6OO. The recommendations on various matters made by the section, and not involving grants of money, were agreed to, and several committees were reappointed. Several papers which had been read during the meeting were ordered to be printed in full amongst the reports.— Mr. Griffith, assistant secretary read the following list of members :—Old life members, 1'96 ; new, 18 ; old annual members, 226 ; new, 117 ; associates, 720; ladies, 682 ; foreign members and their ladies, 45—total, 2,004. The sum added to the funds of the Association by these means was £2,042. Professor PHILLire moved a vote of thanks to the mayor, thi) executive committee, and local secretaries.—Mr. GASSIOTT seconded the motion, which was put from the chair, and carried by acclamation.
