Bearing interest at 6 per cent, per annum from Ist July, 168. Redeemable at par by half-yearly drawings in fifteen years. Placed on the same footing as the Public Debt of the United King.lom of Italy, and not to be subjected to any special tax. Principal and interest, payable in Italy, and at Paris, Lon- ' don, and Berlin, guaranteed by the Italian Government, and specially secured upon the produce of the tobacco revenues of Italy in accordance with the Convention of the Italian Government, dated 25th July, 1868, sanc tioned by the law of 24th August, 1868. The payments of interest and principal, both in Italy awl at I aria, London, and Berlin, will be made in gold. The repayment of the principal in London will be made at the fixed exchange of 25 francs 20 centimes to the pound sterling. Messrs: Stern Brothers bog to announce that they are authorised to receive subscriptions for the above bonds, which are issued for the purpose of effecting a loan to the Italian Government, secured on produce of the tobacco revenue of Italy, in pursuance of the above-mentioned convention. The bondd are issued by the company entitled "Soci6t6 pour la Regie co-interessee des Tabacs dans le Royaume d'ltalie," established with a capital of fifty millions of lire (X 2,000,000), to which has been conceded by that conven tion the farming of, tUe_ Italian tobacco-manufacture for fifteen years. The manufacture and sale of tobacco in Italy are, as is known, exclusively reserved to the Government, and, the profits therefrom form one of the principal sources of the revenue of the kingdom. The returns from this source are published monthly in the Italian Government Gazette, from which it appears that the gross receipts in 1867 amounted to upwards of eighty-ono millions of lire. This did not include the revenue from the Venetian territory, which is now added, estimated at eleven millions more. T ha-convention (Arts. 5 and 23) stipulates that the com pany shall retain and set apart out of the revenues of the tobacco manufacture sufficient moneys to provide for' the interest and sinking fund cf the bonds, prior to any pay ment to the Government or the shareholders. The bonds are guaranteed by the Italian Government, and will be countersigned by a representative specially appointed by the Government for that purpose. The bonds will be issued in amounts of 500 f. and 2,500 f each (the latter comprising five of 500 f.) They will be expressed in francs and in the equivalent amount in pounds sterling, at the fixed exchange of 25f. 20c., at which rate the repayments in London of the principal will be made. The bonds bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum; thus on each bond of 2,500 francs the annual in terest will be 150 francs, which will bo reduced to 136 francs 80 centimes by the deduction of the general Italian income tax of 8.80 per cent. The interest will be payable half yearly, on the Ist January and Ist July, in gold, in Italy, and at Paris, Lon don, and Frankfort. The bonds will bo divided into thirty series, each eon containing 15,800 bonds of 500 francs each, redeemable at par, within fifteen years from the Ist January, 1869, by thirty half-yearly drawings, the first to be made on the Ist April, 1869. At each drawing ono entire series will be drawn. The repayment will take place three months after the drawing, and will be made at par (without any deduction for tax) in Italy, Paris, London, and Frankfort. All payments in Italy, both of principal and interest, - will be made in gold, to the exclusion of all paper money. The Italian Government has stipulated that the holders of bonds shall have the option of taking at par 47,400 shares in the company, of 500 lire each, at the rate of one share for every ten 500 franc bonds, for which purpose the Concessionaires, having subscribed for the whole of the 100,000 shares which compose the company's capital, have appropriated thereout 47,400 shares. The time and manner of exercising this option will be hereafter announced. The price of issue of the bonds in England will be at the rate of £Bl 7s, per 2,500 f. bond, payable by the fol lowing instalments:— On Application £lO 0 par bond of 2,500 francs. „ Allotment lO 0 7) ~ „ 16th Nov., 1868 15 0 „ Ist January, 1869, 15 0 deducting £2 19s. 6d.

On payment of the in stalment due on allotment, Scrip certificates will be de livered by Messrs. Stern Brothers, which will be exchange able upon payment in full of the instalments for the De finitive Bonds as soon as they are prepared. Sub=cribers desiring-to anticipate the payment of the re spective instalments will have the option of doing so under discount at 4 per cent. per annum within a week after allotment, or on any of the days appointed for the payment of the instalments. Taking into account the discount on payment in full, the Coupan on Ist January, 1869, and the half-yearly drawing, the loan affords to subscribers an interest equal to 9 17-16 per cent. on their investment. Interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum will be charged on all instalments in arrear, but in default of due payment of the respective instalments, the scrip and all previous payments will be liable to be forfeited. In case of the allotment being for a less number of bonds than that applied for, the surplus of the deposit will be applied towards the instalment due upon allotment.

An interesting despatch from the Governor of Trinidad to the Duke of Buckingham has been for warded to the Society of Arts, recording some successful experiments made on board her Ma jesty's ship Gannet, with a fuel consisting of pitch from the Trinidad Lake, mixed in cer trin proportions with charOal, ground, and then pressed into bricks. The fuel showed no sign whatever of adhesion to the bars, or of melting (defects previously noticed), and the quantity of clinker was not greater than may often be found in ordinary steam coal. W ith 65 per cent. of coal and 35 per cent. of the artificial fuel, the results were fully equal to coal alone ; so that, as it can be delivered at half the price of coal, its use _would effect considerable sav ing. The only unfavourable point is that, whilst the consumption of the mixed fuel showed 4.351 b. per indicated horse power per hour, the average of six different kinds of coal was only 3.611 b. The Secretary of th 6 Society of Arts sub mitted the report to Dr. B. H. Paul, the consulting chemist, who devotes his attention chiefly to the economy of fuel, and he suggests that the utility of the new fuel might be increased if the large amount of earthy material in the pitch could be sepa rated in the manufacture of the fuel. This earthy material, which leaves an incombustible ash, amounts to 25 per cent., according to analysis he has made of the Trinidad pitch, and it is to the presence of this material that he would ascribe the difference in the rate of consumption per indicated horse power of the prepared fuel as compared with coal, amounting to about a lb. per indicated horse power per hour.—Mining Journal.

Dr. Win. Ogle, Who introduced the matter, 04 Trh9OO remarks were received with great "layptF,.. he bad visited some of these institutions; 41 ,o fre i,podded with others, Slid, "witito q -- ixOepi44sl:Vlel i found that they Were not open, and ni)t Waighticf; ward ; for any question he put t.(: them 'was airy*, evaded. If he asked for the report it was Out of print; or for the rules, he was told that the rules only applied to religious life. If he received letters from them they were signed "Mother Superior," or "Sister Susan." Thert were many crooked points about them; and should be condemned; but in the self-devotion of their indivi dual agents there was something for them to learn. None of these institutions or nursing associations would stand the teat be bad proposed. Ile was bound to adm`.t that there was au earnestness and comprehensiveness in them, lut be would not say thoroughness, and In some respects they had much to learn from the way they were conduct° 1. He had heard that there were marns, terser, and vespers to bo heard in them, but as a common sense Christian and as ad Englishman, liti, did not coLslder that to mean a spirit of prayer. If they could get a good institution conducted in a proper and straightforward manner, and have rules in black and white, for nurset not sisters of mercy—for he believed they ought to call a spade a spade, and a nurse a nurse—ho thought that a great work would be accomplished. The question of the position of the laity lathe Church was alto discussed, and the association seems to have been pretty unanimous in its opinion that the safety and welfare of the Church in the future depended upon the introduction.of the lay element into her councils. The first subject kept before the meeting was that Rana- 4 ; Ham must be put down—the first object of the association. - OCCLUSION. It is stated that the Master of the Mint has, recently discovered an entirely new property of metals Having occasion to minutely analyse one of those cur** messengers from the skies termed meteorites, he noticed that in addition to certain common metallic substances it contained hid up or occluded among its particles the gaseous element hydrogen. Following up this observation, he soon found that the metals palladium, platinum, and iron, though well hammered, and, in common language, perfectly compact, absorbed many times their volume of various gases in which they were placed. Not only were these gases not driven off when the pieces of metal were heated, but exposure to high temperatures greatly facilitated absorption. This seemed to indicate that the gas was not in a mere condition of condensation within the pores of the metal, but had passed into some solid state of combination, an assumption that was con. firmed on exposing palladium containing hydrogen for two months in a tube from which the air had been pumped, not a trace of gas escaping from the metal into the vacuum during that period. That this property of occlusion is something tangible and powerful may be gathered from the statement that, under favourable circumstances, a piece of of metal can be made to take up several hundred—in one case nearly a thousand—times its bulk of a gas. To speak of the value of this discovery would be premature. Let it stand as a great fact of nature, the application of which to the wants of man and the incidents of every-day life will follow in due time. Meanwhile we would honour its discoverer, Thomas Graham, Master of the Mint, and a, high priest of science. SHOCKING DEATH. The obituary announcements in several newspapers record the death " from the effects of an accident" of Mr. Walford Greatorex, a gentleman aged only 40 years, and . one of the partners with his aged father, Mr. Jeremiah Greatorex, in the well-known Manchester warehouse firm of Bradbury, Greatorex, and Beale, of Aldermanbury. The circumstances of this gentleman's death, as detailed at a coroner's inquest held before Dr. Diplock, coroner for West Middlesex, are very painful. Mr. Walford Greatorex was a married man without children. A few weeks since he left London for Scotland on a tour of relaxation, and while in the Highlands symptoms of an affection of the brain were observed by his friends, and under medical advice he was sent back to London. On reaching his home no improve ment was perceptible, and it became necessary to place the unfortunate gentlemen under medical care in a private asylum at Sudbury, near Harrow. This was only a few days since, and on Friday last his father, who resides in Cleveland-square, and has attained the great age of 85 years, sent one of his man-servants down to Sudbury to inquire after his sou's health. While the servant was engaged in listening to the attendant's report of his patient's condition, - Mr: Walford iareatorex contrived to leave the house through the garden unobserved, and with out either coat or hat he immediately ran'off across the fields in the direction of the London and North- Western Railway. His absence was immediately dia. covered, and chase was made after the unfortunate gen tleman, who ran with great swiftness, and actually swam across the Grand Junction Canal in his efforts to escape capture. On reaching the railway he went on to the metals, and there stood with his arms upraised as if signal. ling the driver of an approaching train (the Bletchley ballast-train). Being accustomed to receive instructions from platelayers occasionally;and believing, from his appear. ance at a distance, that Mr. Greatorex was a man of this class who wished to communicate something to him, the driver,without stopping the train, leant over his footplate and was in the act of listening for what he supposed would be instructions, when he observed the unfortunate man dia. appear under the leading wheels of the engine, by which his body was literally cut to pieces. The parties in search came up directly afterwards, and the circumstances of the calamity were at once apparent. The jury, on a review of the above facts, returned a verdict of "Suicide while in a state of temporary insanity." THE EXPLOSION AT BARNSLEY. Correspondence from Barnsley, dated Thursday, says "As was anticipated, another of the sufferers died to-day in the greatest agony. The name of the deceased was Harriet Ann Larkin, aged 13 years. From the first, owing to the frightful character of the injuries, she was not expected to survive. From inquiries made to-day, the following is the state of the injured persons : Mr. G. Norris, proprietor of the works, very much burnt on the head, hands, arms, and back ; not expected to sur vive lorg. George Bywater (foreman), burnt all over, back broken ; in a dying state, not expected to live the day out. Richard Evans, dreadfully burnt all over ; no hope of recovery entertained. Thomas Carroll, aged 13, burnt very severely on back and face, left arm smashed : not expected to live. Joseph John Siddons, 13, burnt very deeply on the hands and shoulder, and not expected to live. Thomas Siddons, brother of the above, much burnt about the head and face, and is likely to recover. Edward Day, head cut in two or three places. The cause of the accident appears to have been of a somewhat reckless character according to the accounts given to-day by some of the workpeople who escaped without injury. It appears that a composition, con sisting cf saltpetre, brimstone, and other ingredients excepting gunpowder, used in the manufacture of fire works, bad become wet during the night of Tuesday, and as it was wanted for immediate - use it was put on the top of a stove to dry. It became hot, ignited, and set fire to the squibs and crackers lying about, as well as to the gun powder." 'there is a rumour at Berlin that King GeOrge of Ifanover, in the next session of the British Parliament, will take his seat in the Lords as a prince of the blood royal. The improvement in the Krnpp cannon, produc tive of such formidable results, consists in the enlarging the chamber in which the cartridge is lodged. The charge is to be double what it was, while the ball remains at its former weight of 2001 b. When tried side by side with the 9-inch Armstrong, having a ball of 2271 b., the Prussian gun proved greatly the superior. The inquest upon the unhappy man Jelley, who eloped with his ward, has resulted in a verdict of "Died from disease of the heart." His heart was declared by the surgeons who made the post mortem examinarion to be the largest human heart they had ever seen. The heart of a man should weigh from Boz. to 9cz., the heart of this man weighed nearly 82oz. The statement has been drawn from Sir Charles Lanyon, at a meeting of Conservative electors in Belfast, that "if it came to be a question between the levelling-up system and the total disendowment of the Church, ho would give his unqualified adhesion to the latter." This expres sion of opinion from the Conservative candidate was loudly applauded. CAPTURE OF IN ESCAPBD LUNATIC.—The escaped criminal lunatic, George Turner, who was corn.
