LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 3, 1832. By the Bill which he brought in last night into the House of Lords, for curtailing and con trolling his own patronage, Lord BROUGHAM has effectually answered the sneers and the taunts and the invectives of his enemies. Hi therto Chancellors have contented themselves with talking of improvements in the Chancery system Lord BROUGHAM dismisses talk for action, and at once puts his shoulder to the wheel. It is not his least praise, that he is, without any exception, the most disinterested, the most self-denying Chancellor that ever lent splendour to the Woolsack. How astonished the Tories must be to find so much public inte grity—such an utter disregard of all selfish and pecuniary motives in such an office The affairs of Germany were last night the Subject of an animated discussion in the House of Commons. Mr. E. BULWER brought for ward the question in a speech of singular ability, in which he furnished a succinct analysis of the rights of the Germans under the old Empire, and commented, in a keen and searching spirit, on the Federal Act agreed to at Vienna, which had for its basis the perpetuation, within reason able limits, of the independence of the people. Lord PALMERSTON replied, but in that see saw, neither-this-nor-that style, which implies just as much or just as little as the hearer may choose to accept. His Lordship was half an advocate for the despots, with this drawback, that he was also half an advocate against them. He hinted that we had no right to interfere with them, but then, be it remembered to his honour, he pretty openly accused them of indis cretion. He observed, that we knew nothing of Germany but through her Governments ; but then he promised to keep a sharp look out on them. In short, his Lordship balanced his opi nions, as grim old JOHNSON used to balance his periods. He was all openness one clause, all equivocation the next. Up one sentence, down another. We defy the most expert lo gician to deduce any one positive inference from his Lordship's speech. But, possibly, he meant nothing ; if so, he has completely answered his end. Mr. BULWER made out a strong case— an unanswerable case. How does Lord PAL MERSTON reply ? By a shrug and a wink, and one of those mysterious nods of the head, by which Lord Burleigli, in the Critic, implies that he means more than he says, and that extraordinary ideas are fermenting in his official skull, of which the vulgar byestanders can know nothing. We refer our readers to the Chronicle's able analysis of his Lordship's speech, which we cannot define better, than by saying, that it is the best illustra tion we know of, of Earl MULGRAVE'S novel of Yes and No." It will b e seen by our Law Report that th e Court of Review this day closed the whole of its petition business. It will be noted also, that the impression which has for some time existed, of the intention of the Judges to adjourn for several months, without leaving one of their num ber in tow n to deal with any pressing business that may arise, is totally without foundation. It is well known to all practitioners in bank ruptcy, that if the Judges were to sit during the long vacation, there would not pro bably be a dozen petitions for them to dispose of, even supposing that a bar could be formed to argue them. At this, the close of its first juridical year, it affords us great satisfaction to say, that all antici pations of good formed from the establishment of this Court by its great founder, appear likely to be realized. Not only has the usual bankruptcy business been disposed of with a de gree of care and deliberation which could not before be bestowed upon it—not only have ar rears been cleared off, and causes of extreme length and complexity, which have been pending for years, adjudicated upon—but some two or three score of petitions have been presented, which, under the old system, would never have been heard of. There may be some who will call this an increase of litigation, and an evil ; but the suitors know that justice was before virtu ally denied to them—that its dearness—that the delay which unavoidably occurred before it was hurriedly, and, consequently, unsatisfactorily, meted out to them, rendered it more advisable to put up with an injury, than inflict upon them selves a still greater injury in the attempt to obtain redress. This is common place, but it is common-place truth, and may well stand as an answer to common-place falsehood. The Dutch Papers received this day con tain several accounts of reviews, which possess no public interest. THE HAGUE, JULY 3l.—The Consul of France at Rotterdam has announced to the merchants, that in consequence of a resolution of his Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs, dated the Hague, the 30h inst., the quarantine for ships arriving in the Maese, from France, is abolished. --- i PRICES OF STOCKS THIS Bank Stock 3 'Per Cent.

The Convention relative to Greece was last night presented to Parliament, the publication of which, from want of room, we must defer till tomorrow. The following is a letter on the same subject, which we find in the German Pa pers received this morning : GREECE. The Greek National Gazette, of the 30th of May, contains the following : " TO THE HONOURA➢LE PRESIDENT OF THE COMMIS- SION OF THE GOVERNMENT OF GREECE, " SIR,—I have just received news from my family, dated the 7th (19th) April. At that time preparations were making for the departure of his Royal Highness and his guardian. The young Prince was delighted at the offer of the throne of Greece made him by the Allied Powers ; but wished, as well as the King his father, to wait till he beard that the Greek natio❑ really wished for his presence. He must by this time have received this assurance by the several requests of the Senate and the Commission of Government, who forgot nothing that might facilitate and accelerate the arrival of the Prince, and I hope that he will shortly receive still stronger proofs of the sentiments of the Greeks. Meantime he is diligently studying the language of his new country. lie is pretty well acquainted with the language of Ancient Greece, and M. Felippa, tutor to Admiral Mullis, instructs him in Mo dern Greek. Every Sunday be invites young Greeks to his table, and converses with them only on the affairs of Greece. It was affirmed at Munich that his Majesty had appointed Count Armansperg to be guardian to his son, and that he would also send M. Maurer, member of the Academy and of the Supreme Council of Appeal, to orga nize the tribunals and the administration of justice in general. But their appointments would not be published till after the return of the King from Naples, whither he was going to use the baths at Ishcia. The news of the recent events in Greece, and of the installation of the Commission of Government, bad not yet been received at Munich. But as this intelligence was sent from him six weeks ago, it must now have got to Munich, and thence to Naples ; and I am persuaded that his Majesty has already taken the necessary measures to secure the tranquillity of Greece. We may therefore soon expect positive news from Italy. I am, with respect, " IRENES THIERSCH. " Napoli, May 12 (21.)." —Allgemeine Zeitung, July 28. The Nuremburg Correspondent says it was through a mistake that it announced that the 25,000 allied troops who are to accompany Prince Otho to Greece were to con sist of English and Prussian troops ; it should have been English and French. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY, RE-ROAINEY, EX-PARTE VITTERY AND OTHERS. The arguments in this case, in which the petition was pre sented for the purpose of having certain travelling expenses, incurred previous to the adjudication of the bankruptcy, dis allowed, occupied his Honour up to the time of our reporter leaving. BANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DAY. The Court this morning disposed of the last petition upon its list, and adjourned till Tuesday, for the purpose of their taking any motions the Bar may have to make, and to continue two examinations referred to it by the Commissioners. The Court may again sit for a similar purpose, and will then ad journ for the long vacation, leaving, however, one Judge i town to dispose of any pressing business that may arises FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER. Yesterday afternoon a most awful calamity occur red on the river Thames during the violent thunder storm which passed over the metropolis. At the time mentioned, a Waterman named WEBB, of Kidney Stairs, Limehouse, was rowing a gentleman up the river, when they were overtaken by the storm nearly opposite Wap ping New Stairs, and before they could get on shore for shelter a flash of lightning, which preceded a heavy clap of thunder, struck the boat, and shattered it t pieces. The waterman and his fare were both knocked backwards at almost the same instant by the shock and were killed. Several persons who witnessed the accident immediately put off in boats, and succeeded in removing the unfortunate individuals into other wherries before the boat went down, and conveyed them to the Waterman's Arms public-house, in Wapping High•street. The gentleman was quite dead, and his death is supposed to have been instantaneous. The electric fluid appeared to have struck him on the head, and then passed down his body. A part of his hat was shattered, and the deceased was much scorched. WEBS lived for a few minutes after he was brought ashore, and uttered a few words very indistinctly before he expired. He was also burnt about the body. A medical gentleman was sent for by Mr. GEDDES, the landlord, but be came too late to be of any avail. The gentleman is said to have been holding an umbrella over his head. He appears to be about the middle age, and 13s. were found i❑ his poc ket ; but nothing could be discovered on his person by which his name and address could be ascertained. The bodies are now lying at the Waterman's Arms to await the result of a Coroner's inquest. FURTHER PARTICULARS.—THIS DAY.) The names of the unfortunate individuals who were killed by lightning on the river, are Mr. George Allison, the landlord of the Anti-gallica❑ public-house, at Lime house Hole, and Francis Webb, a waterman, of Kidney Stairs. Mr. Allison was in his 34th year, anti has left a widow and five children; and Webb was in his 43d year, and has left a widow and six children, without any means of support. Mr. Geddes, the landlord of the Waterman's Arms, was proceeding down the river in a boat, when he saw Webb in his wherry, rowing Mr. Allison up the stream in the mid dle of the channel, and when right abreast of the Thames Police•office, near Wapping New Stairs, Webb passed him, and almost instantly afterwards he heard a loud clap of thunder ; Mr. Geddes turned round and saw the deceased persons fall backwards. Mr. Allison never moved or spoke afterwards ; but the Waterman partially recovered himself, and beckoned with his hand to Mr. Geddes, who rowed towards him ; but by that time a waterman named Raise who was crossing the river, and heard Webb call out in a faint voice, " sculler, sculler !" had taken the wherry in tow, and conveyed it to 'Wapping New Stairs. The lightning appears to have first snuck Mr. Allison on the back of the head, shivering his hat and coat to atoms ; and, after partially expending itself on Mr. A., passed off to the Waterman, who was sitting forward, and there is no doubt he was struck by the electric fluid in front of his person. The lightning ap ' pears to have gone through the keel behind where Mr. Allison was sitting, and has burnt a small hole in the bottom. Mr. G dies slightly felt the effects of the shock when the lightning sttuck Webb's boat. It is somewhat extraordinary that scarcely a thunder-storm has happened during the last three years, without an accident occurring about this part of theriv,!: COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Court proceeded, agreeable to arrangement, to hear motions. At the sitting, as there was some difficulty in getting Coun. sel present on both sides, Sir E. SUGDEN said he had only one of two courses to pursue; those were—either to proceed to move, without regard to whether the Learned Counsel on the other side were present or not, and to take his orders if his applications were not op posed, or to leave the Court and return to his chambers; the one or the other assuredly he intended to do. The LORD CHANCELLOR directed Sir Edward to pro ceed, because it being then! half-past ten oslock, opposing Counsel ought to have been in Court. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

We are again without any arrivals, but as the wind has changed to the westward, we may expect numerous arrivals from the west by Monday. By the French mail this morning we have accounts from Brussels, stating that great excitement prevails there against the 67th protocol. Petitions are preparing to be sent to the King to change his Ministers, and to have at the head of the Government Ministers of firm resolutions. It is much feared that this will cause some disturbances. It is stated that 33,000 men are assembled at Mayence, of these 18,000 are Austrians, 14,000 Prussians, and 500 Hessians. It is expected that a camp will be formed at Manheim or Heidelberg of 40,000 men ; also one of 30,000 between Spire and Worms ; and a third of 40,000 men, five leagues from Coblentz. They write from Paris that an opposition company was formed against that of De Rothschild, to bid for the French Loan, under the firm of Delessert and Hottingen, which caused the two contending parties to come to a negociation, and after several conferences, it was decided that there should be only one company to bid for the loan, and that Delessert and Hottingen should be of the party, and have at their dis posal one-fourth of the loan, 37,500,000 francs. Accounts from Berlin state that the journals do not cease to state, on paper, the march of the Russian and Prussian armies ; but in reality none are marching; it is only changing of posi tions, and preparations for reviews.

Columbian 1824 Russian Spanish The fete at Sion House (says a Contempo rary) was a scene of great magnificence. The King and Suite arrived at half-past four o'clock i❑ three state car riages and four, with outriders ; the band of the Blues, who were stationed on the lawn, struck up " God save the King." The visitants passed through the grand hall to the superb gallery, and thence down a flight of marble steps to the water's edge. After viewing the scenery around, they went to the conservatory ; and on their re turn they saw a boat race on the Thames for a wherry, given by the inhabitants of Isleworth, in honour of the day. At the hour of seven the King and his party, to gether with the Noble Host and Hostess, sat down to dinner in the vestibule, which is the finest room in the three kingdoms, or perhaps in Europe, the roof of which is supported by twelve columns of real verde antique marble, and twenty pilasters of the same stone.—(Tbe twelve were dug out of the Tiber about a century ago, and purchased by the grandfather of the Duke at a cost of a thousand pounds sterling each.) The banquet was s erved wholly on gold plate, of the most massive descrip tion, and the number of covers laid was twenty, that be ing the exact number of persons present. In the next room (the state drawing room) covers were laid for forty ; here everything was in silver, At nine a signal was given from the terrace by the discharging of a rocket for the rival fireworkers (a Frenchman and German) to begin their operations. At ten o'clock the scene closed, when the Royal carriages drew up, and the KING and his Court departed. Her AlAsFsry was absent from a cold, and a fear of increasing it. Contrary to the stately privacy kept in other places, the park and the grounds in the rear of the mansion were thrown open to the public, and every decently dressed person was allowed to approach the great portico of the mansion to see the visitants alight. The loyal inhabitants of hleworth gave a dinner in the market place to 400 children, to drink the health of their MAJESTIES. ASSIZES.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—DEKBY, August 2. SUDDEN INDISPOSITION of Mr. BARON VAUGHAN, WHILE CHARGING the GRAND JURY. The Learned Judges arrived at this town on Wednesday afternoon, and after formally opening the Commission, ad journed the business till the next morning. Mr. Justice PARK took his seat in the Nisi Prius Court, at ten o'clock on tne Thursday morning, but his Learned Asso ciate, Mr. Baron VAUGHAN, did not come down to open the Criminal Court till near twelve o'clock, although the Grand Jury had been summoned for ten o'clock, and most of them had been punctual in their attendance. On his entrance into Court, Mr. Baron Vaughan appeared to be in the enjoyment of his usual health, and in addressing the Grand Jury commenced with his accustomed fluency and animation of manner. After s mile introductory matter, the Learned Judge called the attention of the Grand Jury to a charge against a man for the murder of his wife by poison, but had scarcely began to ex plain the law on the subject, before a marked and most painful change was observed in his voice and manner. He stammered and hesitated between each word to a degree which it was most distressing to observe, and his face changed its colour, and it became evident that his Lordship was suffering under acute bodily pain. After a long pause, his Lordship rallied and re sumed ; but apparently lie had quite forgotten, in the agony of the moment, the subject he was before speaking on, for leaving that abruptly and unfinished, he proceeded to observe on the Anatomyßill,which, he said, had received theßoyal sanction two days back, and by which a considerable alteration had been effected in the law. His Lordship was stopped from pro ceeding to explain the nature of the alteration by a renewed ' and apparently more violent attack. His Lordship struggled to overcome it, but was only able to get out single words, and those mostly unconnected, and at long intervals between. The memory of the Learned Judge, it was painfully evident, had become (only temporarily, we unfeignedly hope) affected. The Learned Judge still continued his efforts to conclude his ad. dress, but at last letting go his eye-glass, which he was holding in his right hand, he dropped his head into his hand, and rested it upon the desk before him. During the whole of the distressing scene, of which the above is only a faint outline, the utmost sympathy for his Lordship was displayed by the members of the Grand Jury, and other gentlemen in Court. . ..... .., Preparations were now immediately made for his Lordship's withdrawing from the Court. On rising, his Lordship ap peared very weak, and having, in a faint voice, told the Grand Jury that he was sorry to detain them, but he hoped to be able to come back and conclude his address in a minute, he with a feeble step quitted the Court. _ A messenger was instantly sent to procure the attendance of Dr. Fox, an eminent physician, residing in the neigh bourhood. The Learned Judge, we learn, had spent the greater part of the preceding day at the scat of Mr. Counsellor Balguy, which Is distant about two miles from Derby. After the lapse of about a quarter of an hour, Mr. Justice J. A. Parke, who had been apprized of what had taken place, same from the adjoining Court, and addressing himself to the Grand Jury, said, that he trusted there was no reason to appre hend any danger to his Learned Brother. The Learned JUDGE then directed the business of the Criminal Court to be adjourned to the Nisi Prius side. Upon inquiry just before the post left, we received the gra tifying intelligence that the Learned Judge was rather better. It appears he was seized with a violent pain at the back of his head, and it is the opinion of Dr. Fox, that but for the prompt. ness of the measures taken, apoplexy would have ensued. Under the direction of Dr. Fox, the Learned Judge has been most copiously bled. It is not probable he will be able to re sume his official duties in this town. There is a case of murder in the calendar, which excites very great interest in this town. The accused is a stone mason, and was employed in the erection of the new gaol ; and, should he be doomed to an ignominious death, it is remarked as a curious circumstance, that he will be the first to suffer from the gateway, the masonry of which he helped to fix. ___ NORTHERN CIRCUIT.-DURHAM, Aug. 1. TRIAL OF ONE OF THE MURDERERS OF MR. FAIRLES, THE MAGISTRATE. William Jobling, aged 30, was placed at the bar to take his trial for the murder of Mr. Fairies, the Magistrate. The in dictment charged, that the prisoner, with Ralph Armstrong, murdered Mr. Fairies by Armstrong striking him on the head with a stick and a stone, which fractured his skull, and that Jobling was present, and assisted Armstrong in the murder. Mary Taylor on the Ilth of June was proceeding towards South Shields from Jarrow, when she met a pony in the road, and heard a cry of murder. On proceeding round a turn of the road she saw the feet of two men raised up as if struggling on the ground, and on closer inspection observed three men one on each other. She went up to them as fast as she could, and her aunt, who was with her, cried out, " You murdering villains, you are murdering the man—be off!" One of the men rested on Mr. Fairies, and struck him with a large stick, and the other held him down. When her aunt called out, the man dropped the stick after striking Mr. Fairies again. The other man got up, and they both ran off on the South Shields road. The man who held Mr. Fairies down, had a blue jacket and trousers on, and the other a dark dress. She led Mr. Fairies to Mr. Blen kinsop's house. E. Dorah,:who resides near the'public house, saw Jobling stop Mr. Fairies, and ask h im for something to drink, and Mr. Fairies replied that he stood in no need of it. Jobling replied he did. They proceeded on out of her sight, and Armstrong followed. In a quarter of an hour after she saw Jobling and Armstrong return together, running towards South Shields. Armstrong's hands were covered with blood. Shortly after. wards she saw Mr. Fairies led along by some women, and his head was very bloody. Bridget Davidson, servant, residing next to Turner's public house, saw Mr. Fairies ride by with Jobling at his side, and another man follow, who said to some one, " Let us kill him." Isabelsa Robson, a servant of Mr. Blenkibsop, said that when Jobling and the other man ran past the house she heard one of them say, " We've finished the old -." Another witness gave similar evidence. _ . The deposition which Mr. Fairies made when i❑ a dying state was then produced. It stated that, on the afternoon of the 11th June, after he had passed through the turnpike, a man came up to him, and asked him to treat him with a quart of ale ; he said he would not, as he had had enough. The man replied, " Do, for I love you as my father." Mr. Fairies asked him his name, and he said it was Jobling. At this time another person came behind and pulled him by the skirts of his coat. Jobling held him down with his hands and knees, and the other man struck him with stones on the head, and said they would kill him. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty.—Death. THE PRISONER ORDERED TO BE HUNG IN CHAINS. Mr. Justice PARKE having put on the black cap, pro ceeded to pass sentence on the prisoner. A Bill was now be fore Parliament, and which he believed had received the Royal assent, to discontinue the practice of giving the bodies of mur derers for dissection ; and in order that he should not have an erroneous sentence, by directing the body of the prisoner to be dissected, he should direct that it should be hung in chains, and he hoped the sight of it would have a due effect upon the prisoner's companions. His Lordship concluded by passing sen tence in the following terms :—" The sentence on you is, that you be taken to the place from whence you came, and that on Friday morning you be hanged by the neck till you are dead, and that your body be then hung in chains, agreeably to the form of the Statute in that case made and provided." The prisoner appeared to be quite unconcerned, and on leaving the dock said, " Prepare to meet your God !" CHOLERA MORBUS, OFFICIAL REPORT CENTRAL BOARD OF HEALTH.

It has been ascertained from actual surveys, that not only can so direct a line of road be obtained as will materially lessen the distance, but that the hills, which arc so serious an inconvenience in the present road, may be altogether avoided. This will be effected by the expe dient of a steamboat ferry below Woolwich, which will also be the means of greatly facilitating the direct inter course between the counties of Kent and Essex. An ap plication for an Act of Parliament for this purpose will, it is expected, be made in the ensuing Session..p.Times. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. A PAUPER OF REAL INDEPENDENCE..—A female pauper, nearly 60 years of age, named Sarah Stokes, was charged before Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL with having frequently insulted Kinnersley, the beadle of Aldgate, and threatened to beat him. The defendant is one of that crowd of paupers who have been cheating various parishes by pretending to belong to them, without having the slighest claim. She had contrived to get about 30s. a week by her facility of telling lies, and was at last detected and punished, just after having levied contributions upon four parishes. Kinnersley stated that the defendant, after having col lected a mob about his house, let fly a volley of the gross est abuse against him and his family, and followed him about swearing that she would do for him and all who be longed to him. The defendant, in a very mild manner, assured the Al derman that she had used no threats towards the beadle, but she had found it necessary to say something to his son, who had struck her and dragged her along the street for no offence. For the sake of the public she thought it would be proper to chastise such a fellow, and she had accordingly given him notice of a right good topper. — (Laughter.) Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL—Oh, then you meant to punish him? Defendant—l did, s'elp me God, your Worship ; and, as sure as I am poor but honest, I'll pitch it into him the first opportunity. The beadle of an adjoining parish said that Mrs. Stokes was the terror of that part of the city. No matter how kindly she was treated, her fancy lay in abusing and beat ing people, and it was all the same to her whether she had to fight with man or woman. She had, at the same time, a strong fancy for gin, which she drank, when she could get it, until it stretched her in the mud ; and on Sunday last she was dragged out of the puddle to the watch-house. Defendant-I'N all true about the gin. I was " mops and brooms" on Sunday, sure enough ; but that's no rea son I'm to be keelhawled and floored like a bullock a going to be slaughtered. Blessed if I don't give it your son, Kinnersley, for that 'ere shopping. I'll fetch him a right down jolly good topper. Kinnersley had no doubt of the woman's intention. Defendant—Aye, and I'm blessed if I don't make you sing out too, if I catch you some day. I have a long score against you, you hard-hearted old willain. I'll give it you where you cupboard your grub, blessed if I don't, and no mistake.--(A laugh.) Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL said that the defendant's conduct at that moment confirmed the truth of the beadle's statement. Defendant—Oh, please your Worsbip, I don't say " I'll pitch it into Mr. Kinnersley;" I only 83y " I'll fetch his son a wipe or two for sarving out my body just as if it was a bullock's." Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL—Khmersley, do you swear that you are in fear of this woman? Kinnersley—Cer. tainly I do, Sir. She is most ferocious. Defendant—Afeard of me! afeard of a poor old woman's tongue! there's a dung cock for you. Well, I'm blow'd if you an't a fellow of spirit. Why I say, my master, blessed if I'd lower myself by raising my hand to you ; for what are you arter all but a poor insignificant old ras cal of a beadle. Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL-.—Yon must procure bail. You are a most incorrigible woman ; your whole conduct here proves it. Defendant—Bail! me find bail! hlow'd if I find bail. I don't care how long you stow me in the crib. And I'll tell you what, Kinnersiey, keep your body up till I comes out, and then we'll see which is the best man, you or me—(Laughter)—for I'm blessed if I don't pitch it into you in your wittling apartment, and no mis take.—Mrs. Stokes was then conveyed to the Compter in default of bail. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TAT TER SALL' S. The attendance yesterday was very limited, and very little doing, most of the subscribers being absent at Brighton. We subjoin the closing state of the odds : INVENTIONS AND DISCOVERIES. We extract the following from an article _ . under this head, in the present number of the Monthly Magazine. It is illustrative of the exhibition in Adelaide-street : " But, what have we here ?—.the dulce crept into our note-book of the utile ?—Even so; and, for the sake of our fair readers, the increase to whose number we sh 0, happiest of pleasurable tasks'—try hard to deserve, we will give it a place. Nor need we apologise to our readers of the ' sterner sex,' for Day's 2E;!oplion is mecha nical, as well as musical. The lEolophon is a keyed, six octave instrument; to all outward appearance a cabinet piano -forte, but capable of yielding' a volume of sweet sounds,' such as cannot be produced with the most scien tific touch, from either the piano-forte or the organ. The music is elicited from walian springs, which are acted upon by currents of air, whose volume and force are regulated with a nicety that appears to keep pace with conception. ._ _ We have examined this beautiful combination of mecha- nical skill and philosophical research ; for both were ne cessary to its perfection : we have been delighted by a de. monstration of its unequalled powers of melody, under the tasteful display of a fairy-fingered lady ; and we feel war ranted in declaring our opinion, that the rapidity of touch, and rich variety of tone and effect, which may be produced by any player of the piano-forte or organ, after a very little practice, on the iEolophon, the notes being the same, will be sufficient recommendation for this splendid addition to the music -room, to all admirers of the enchanting att.— Whilst, on the score of economy and convenience, no bad adjuncts even to those who love the music score, it offers the novel advantages of continuing in tune under every change of climate. " Now turn we from mechanics, to the most interesting discoveries of the day. Of these, we shall mention two in the present number :—the production of electric, or magnetic sparks, from the common magnet; and Perkirs' new process for generating steam; commencing with the most attractive. Palmam qui meruit ferat,' has always been a favou rite motto of ours; and whilst we are ready to award the highest praise to Mr. Faraday, for h:s assiduous, inde fatigable, philosopher-like pursuit of the subtle principle and peculiarity of electricity, and of his proofs of the affinity (or identity ?) between it and magnetism, and whilst we are equally prompt to bestow our meed of appro bation on Dr. Ritchie, for his advancement of the same object, we must offer the plan of perfect success to Mr. Saxton, an ingenious native of Philadelphia, now residing in London, as the original demonstrator of the capabi:ity of eliciting a spark from the common magnet. To c'o this, we must refer to the Minutes of the Royal Institution. " On the I 1 th of May, Dr. Ritchie, Professor of Na . . tural Philosophy, stated to the institution, that he had followed in the track of Mr. Faraday, in his late brilliant discoveries, and was happy to say that he had uniformly arrived at the same conclusions. He had also succeeded in making the spark, which had been obtained by Mr. Fa raday in breaking the magneto-electric circle, visible to a large assembly. This was done by placing an explosive mixture of oxygen and hydrogen in the course of the spark, which immediately produced a loud report and a flash of light. He employed a horse-shoe magnet, between the ends of which were placed a couple of tubes ; a wire was introduced into each, and their connexion maintained by a conducting medium. The wires were connected to the magnet by the folds of copper ribbon. The gas was introduced by a bladder and a stop-cock ; the contact sud denly broken, and the spark made evident by an explosion. Dr. Ritchie declared his belief that no such spark could be I elicited from any but a temporary magnet. ' "At this time Mr. Faraday came forward, and stated that he had succeeded in obtaining a spark from a natural magnet. Mr. Faraday had borrowed Brown's magnet from the Academy at Woolwich. A small bar of iron, about six inches long, was used in contact with the extre mities of the magnet. Two connecting wires were raised from each end of this small bar, and being bent at right angles, overlapped each other. The undermost terminated in a disc, about the size of half-a-crown. By a rapid per cussion of the bar against the magnet, the disc and wire broke, in contact by their elasticity, and a beautiful blueish spark was produced. " Now, dates are very important to the identification of a discovery, and it is upon these, and upon concurrent testimony, that we rely in support of our conceding to Mr. Saxton the merit of the earliest demonstration of these interesting phenomena in England. It was on the second day of May that Mr. Saxton first produced an electric ( ?) spark from a common magnet, of very great power, which he was then constructing for exhibition, at the New Gal lery, in Adelaide-street, Strand ; and on that, or the fol lowing day, the experiment was repeated in the presence of Dr. Ritchie, who declared it to be the only one he had witnessed. After some trifling improvements had been made by Mr. Saxton in the apparatus used for breaking the continuity of the subtle fluid, he succeeded in causing the explosion of gunpowder, a much less inflammable ma terial than that used by Dr. Ritchie, from ignition by the spark ; which we have, since then, seen him repeatedly perform. Does Dr. Ritchie call Mr. Saxton's magnet one of the temporary ? " We subjoin a description of the magnet constructed by Mr. Saxton. It is called a horse-shoe magnet, (very elongated,) and is formed of eight shear steel plates, twenty-eight inches in length from the poles to the centre edge, three inches wide, and forming together a thickness of two inches and a half; at the greatest width of the curvature it measures nine inches, and at the poles seven inches across ; the poles have a return inwards, towards each other, and are there separated by a space or one inch. and a half. The keeper, or lifter, which is made of the purest soft iron, is four inches long, one inch and a quarter wide, and one inch thick. Around the middle of the keeper, and occupying, with its lower section, the space between the poles, is a wooden winder, hiving about one hundred bards of common bonnet-wire, threaded, from which the two ends, composed of four lengths of the wire twisted together, are carried out, with a vertical curve of about three-fourths of a circle, one of these twisted ends passing beyond each end of the keeper, and resting upon the respective poles of the magnet. A tenall wooden lever is so fixed to the winder and keeper as to admit of the whole being suddenly forced up from the magnet by a smart stroke ; and a very beautiful and brilliant spark is invariably elicited, at whichever end of the wire is first se parated from the magnet. " It is Mr. Sexton's intention to add several plates to his magnet, and to ascertain, by a series of experiments, the best size for the keeper—the best description of wire to be used—the easiest mode of causing an instantaneous separation of the wire from the magnet, and other inte resting consequences, the result of which we shall take oc casion to communicate to our readers. " Perkins' newly invented process for generating steam, is accomplished by so placing a lining within the boiler, that a thin sheet of the fluid which it contains, may be carried constantly over those portions of the side of the vessel which are in immediate contact with the heat from the fire, formed upon the discovery of the circulation of the fluid, under the operation of heat, from that part of the boiler subjected to the immediate action of the fire upwards. " It is found that, as the heat is increased, the ascend ing current becomes more rapid, that the agitation is more violent, and a relatively augmented proportion of steam is produced ; whilst the metal, of which the boiler is com posed, is preserved from that destruction to which it is subjected in the common process, wherever the fire hap. pens to act upon it with more than ordinary violence. " A receiver is also placed in the centre of the boiler, into which, by the circulation of the heated fluid from the bottom and sides of the boiler, all dirt or other sediment is thrown ; by which another cause of the destruction of the boiler is removed. " In this article we omit the mention of other invert. tions and discoveries, because we will not weary the reader. Our present object is to excite attention to these interesting and useful speculations of creative genius and scientific research; out future aim shall be to continue to fix that attention, and we hope to a good end." The Duke of RICHMOND had an interview this morning with Lord ALTIIORr. OLYMPIC THEATRE.—An amusing trifle, in one act, entitled Call Again To•morrow, was played here for the first time last night. The subject is not very new to the stage, and consists chiefly of the difficulties occa sioned by the procrastinating propensities of the hero, Dick 2Veverpay (Mr. WRENCH, and the consequen anger of his creditors. For so unpretending an affair, we have seldom seen a happier : it kept the audience in good humour, and went off with all possible success. Mr. COOPER'S new Romance of t 4 The Hei demtnauer," is, we perceive, built on a tradition connected with the neighbouring ruins of an abbey and a baronial castle near Duerckbeirn in Germany. Two remarkable spots are also in the vicinity, namely, the Heidenmauer (or Heathen's Wall) and the Teufelstein (or D,wil's Stone). The stories connected with these places were so tempting to the novelist when travelling in the country some little time ago, as to have induced him to exercise on them the vivid powers of his itnagination. Hence the present addi tion to his claims on popular favour.

MURDER IN OXFORDSHIRE.—One of the most deliberate murderers we have ever bad to record, took place on Friday last at the village of Chalgrove, near Wellington. The deceased was an industrious blacksmith named COSTARD, a married man with three children, and his wife expecting to be shortly confined again. From the evidence given at the Coroner's Inquest on Monday, it ap peared, that the deceased, who kept a retail beer shop, was called up early on Friday morning, by two men living in the village, named BUNCE and PHELirs, when some dis pute happened with the parties, which was settled satisfac torily, and the two men left. On going down the street, they met a lad going to work with a bag of victuals at tached to the end of a prong, across his shoulders. They took the instrument from the boy, and went back towards the blacksmith's shop, telling the lad, " COSTARD should not be alive ten minutes longer." They proceeded to COS-. TARD'S shop, where BUNCE deliberately ran the prong through his neck, and PHELPS fractured his skull by a blow with a sledge-hammer. The Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against Buticz and PHELPs, the latter of whom has absconded,
