A series of highly interesting experiments were yesterday made upon the Serpentine in Hyde Park, in the presence of several of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, and an immense assemblage of persons, some of whom were well known as taking a deep interest in nautical matters. The experiments. were made for the purpose of testing the efficiency of a recent invention, which has received the name of the " Nautilus Life Preserver." The first test ap plied was that of attaching "the tubes" to a common sized boat, and withdrawing a number of plugs from the bottom and sides, leaving the boat to fill with water. Nothwithstanding this great weight and that of six persons who were on board at the same time, the boat still preserved its buoyancy, and was rowed for a considerable period round the water, all efforts to attempt to capsize or sink the boat appearing perfectly futile. A number of the air tubes were then linked together in an incredibly short space of time, for the purpose of forming a raft, which sustained the weight of as many persons as could possibly crowd themselves upon it, and at the same time was easily managed. The " Nautilus Life Preserver" was then applied to several persons, armed with which they leaped into the water, and were, without the slightest exertion on their parts, sustained breast high in the water; one of these belts was of sufficient power tobear the weight of three persons in the water. The extreme portability of the article in 'question must be a great desideratum, it being capable of being compressed into a space not larger than an ordinary-sized circular snuff-box, and could be carried with perfect ease in the pocket. The celerity, also, with which it can be made ready for use must tend to enhance considerably the merits of the in vention ; for while other inventions tending to pre serve life from drowning necessarily require a consi derable time for the purpose of their being properly adjusted to the person, by means of numerous straps and buckles, and some indeed requiring to be inflated previous to use by considerable exerticn of the lungs, the whole period required for pre paring and adapting this for use does not exceed four seconds. By means of a spring the belt is caused to elongate itself to the required dimensions, and a small valve at the top being pressed down causes the interior immediately to fill with atmospheric air. The tube thus filled is then drawn round the body, the two ends secured by means of a spring clasp, and thus equipped the wearer may float about at his leisure, fearless and careless of the watery element. The invention appears to us a highly use ful one, and one that if generally adopted would have the effect of saving numbers of lives, and of mitigat ing to an incalculable extent those horrors attendant upon shipwrecks, the accounts of which are so fre quently brought before the public.

THE LATE MURDER OP A CHILD BY ITS MOTHER. —LouTu, LINCOLNSHIRE, SEPT. 9.—Yesterday, the prisoner, Ellen Tuxtord, was again brought up to the Town Hall, before the Rev. W. Smythe and F. W. Wel flt, Esq., charged with the wilful murder of her illegiti mate daughter. The evidence was very similar to that. The Bench ecmitateftd the g le oing over the whole adduced at the inquest, no a dditi ona l f act o f i mportance o being e elicited. evidence, fully prisoner to take her trial at the next Lincoln Assizes for the wilful murder of her child. Upon hearing the decisioa of the magis trates, the prisoner said, " A many persons seemed to bother their heads about the matter; she did not, and therefore she could no see why anybody else should." THE DUTCH FLEET.—On Monday, soon after 11 o'clock, the crews of the ships of war composing the squadron might be seen busily preparing for departure. A royal salute, discharged about twelve, announced that all was ready, snd in a short time the whole fleet had spread their swelling sails, and were steering in line past Inchkeith. Another salute then boomed through the air, which was promptly returned from Leith Fort, and the noble vessels steadily glided away before a light rippling breeze. I'V e believe it is Prim,- Henry's intention to take a short cruise with the .qua :run under his command before directing his course home ward.— lilititcss. COPPER ORE.—A vessel arrived from Leghorn bar, Am_ _e . rican produc h ti r o z , h l t o , 6 b e e a si s d k o s s of a I Of import from that quarter of the worl d r an unusual article e g o e p li ;e r r a o l ree,trrg:thoef " In accordance with the principles which have already guided ui in deciding on the plan of decora tion in the House of Lords—viz., with reference t o fresco paintiiiks; stained w i n do w s, and statues pro posed for Si. Stephen's P orc h, St. Stephen's Hall, and the royal approaches, we conceive it to be the duty et this commission, for the better guidance of present and future artists, and in order to maintain a cha racter,of harmony and guitkvorthy of such a build ing, to determine a complete scheme for the ftiture decoration of the Palace. We are of opinion, in de termining such a scheme, the especial destination of each portion of the building should be attended to ; that in the selection of subjects the chief object to be regarded should be the expression of some specific idea; and the second, its illustration by means of some well-known historic or poetic incidznt adapted for representation in painting.' The remainder of the document we give at length. The duty which has devolved on the committee being thus defined, their labours have been di rected to the selection of subjects in accordance with the plan above explained. They have for the present given their attention to subjects in painting ; a considerable number of names of distin guished persoNs to whom statues might with pro priety be erected having been before proposed, and of these some have been selected by former committees for particular localities. ST. STEPHEN'S PORCH. Containing two compartments, one measuring 26 feet high (to the point of the gothic arch) by 16 feet 8 inches nide ; the other measuring 18 feet 3' inches high, to the point of the arch, by 11 Feet 4 inches wide. The statues of Marlborough acd Nelson have already been recommended by the commission to be placed in this porch; and your committee are of opinion that the subjects of Peace and War would be appropriate to the two compartments intended for paintings. ST. STEPHEN'S lIALL. Containing on the side walls eight compartments, each measuring 14 feet 5 inches wide, by 9 feet 8 inches high; and two end compartments, one mea suring 20 feet 9 inches high to the point of the arch by 11 feet 6 inches wide; the other measuring 17 feet 6 inches high to the point of the arch, by 11 feet 3 inches wide. An opinion has before been ex pressed by the commission generally that, as St. Stephen's Hall stands on the spot where the House of Commons was, during many centuries, in the habit of assembling, it should be adorned with sta tues of men who rose to eminence by the eloquence and abilities which they displayed in that House. Twelve personages selected on this principle were accordingly named in the fourth report of the Coni missioners to her Msjesty. Your committee con• ceived that the walls might properly be decorated with paintings illustrating some of the greatest epochs in our constitutional, social, and ecclesiastical his tory, from the time when . the Anglo-Saxon nation embraced Christianity to the accession of the House of Stuart; and that the following subjects would be well adapted for this purpose :- 1. In the State.—A sitting in the Wittena-gemot ; the homage of the Barons to William the Conqueror; the first writ for the election of Representatives brought down to the city of London ; Stanley and Oxford crowning Henry'Vll. over the dead body of Richard III.; the termination of the baronial wars. For the Side Compartments.—An early trial by jury; the signing of Magna Charts; the abolition o villeinage ; the privileges of the House of Commons asserted by Sir T. More against Cardinal Wolsey. 2. In the Church.—For the End Compartments. — West End.—The preaching of St. Augustine ; the introduction of Christianity. East End.—Queen Elizsbeth receiving the Bible in Cheapside; the Reformation. THE CENTRAL HALL. Containing four compartments, each measuring 17 feet 7 inches high, to the point of the gothic arch, by 12 feet 7 inches wide; and three small panels under neath three of the large compartments, each mea suring 5 feet 5 inches high to the point of the arch, by about 4 feet 6 inches wide. Your committee, bearing in mind that this hall is the central point of the whole building, were of opinion that the na tionsdity of the component parts of the United King dom should be the idea here illustrated, and would be appropriately expressed by the representation of the four patron saints—St. George, St. Andrew, St. Patrick, and St. David, in the four compartments, three of the compartments, the sp intendedacesunderneath for painting he raldic emblazoning of the Orders of the Garter, the Thistle, and of St. Patrick, might be introduced. CORRIDORS FROMTHE CENTRAL HALL. Consisting of the Peers Corridor, the Commons' Corridor, and the Central or Public Corridor. The com mittee are of opini on th at corr idors which join the two Houses might properly be decorated with paintings illustrative of the great contest which com menced with the meeting of the -Long Parliament, and terminated in 1689. It will be seen that the subjects have been selected on the principle of paral ellism, and that an attempt has been made to do justice to the heroic virtues which were displayed on both sides. THE PEERS' CORRIDOR. Containing eight compartments intended for paint ings, each measuring 9 feet 6 inches wide by 7 feet high :—Charles I. erecting his standard at Notting ham; Speaker Lenthal asserting the privileges of the Commons against Charles 1., when the attempt was ma le to seize the five Members; Basing House defended by the Cavaliers against the Parliamentary army ; the setting out of the Train Bands from London to raise the siege of Gloucest r; the Expul sion of the Fellows of a College at Oxford for re fusing to sign the Covenant; the Embarkation of a Puritan Family for New Engla nd ; the Burial of Charles I.; and the Parting of Lord and Lady Russell. THE COMMONS' CORRIDOR. Containing eight compartments intended for paint ings, each measuring 7 feet 9f inches wide by 6 feet 9 inches high :—Charles 11. assisted in his escape by Mrs. Lane ; Alice Lisle concealing the fugitives after the Battle of Sedgemoor ; the Executioner tying Wishart's book round the neck of Montrose ; the Sleep of Argyll; Monk declaring for a free Parlia ment ; the Acquittal of the Seven Bishops; the Land ing of Charles II.; the Lords and Commons present ing the Crown to Willi.= and Mary in the Ban quetting-house. THE CENTRAL CORRIDOR. Containing six compartments, each measuring 8 feet 9 inches high by 7 feet wide. The paintings in St. Stephen's Hall, and in the corridors which join the two Houses, illustrate the gradual progress of our institutions during the interval which elapsed between the introduction of Christianity and the Revolution. It has been thought that the central corridor might with advantage be adorned with paintings exhibiting in strong contrast the extremes which are sepa rated by that interval. With this view, six subjects have been selected ; in three, Britain appears much in ignorance, slavery, and heathen supersfition ; in the other three he appears instructing the savage, libe rating the slave, and abolishin g barbarous rites, simi lar to those she:once p ractised, viz.:—The Phoenicians in° stopping taheite; a Druidical Sacri fice ; Cornwall; English Cook Authorities Suttee; Anglo-Saxon Captives exposed for Sale in the Market-place at Rome ; and the Emancipation of the Negro Slaves. THE UPPER WAITING HALL. The subjects for six (out of eight) compartments in this locality have been proposed to be selected from the following poets :—Chaucer, Spenser, Shakspere, Milton, Dryden, and Pope; the choice of such sub jects being left to the artists appointed or to be ap pointed to execute them, after they have been ap proved by the Commissioners. THE lIOIJSE OF PEERS. The subjects for the six compartments intended for painting, and the selection of historical personages proposed for statues to be placed in the 18 niches as well as the decorations for the stained windows, have been determined by former committees. Law 'and Judgment, and. that the following sub ects- would be appropriate :—ln the larger compart ,nent, on the west side, 1, Moses bringing the Tablets pf.the Law to the idolatrous Israelites. In the two smaller compartments, on the east side, 2, The Fall Man i • and 3, His CondemnatiOn to labour. On , he south side, in the: larger compartment, 4, The Judgment of Solomon; and, ia the two smaller, 5, I'he Visit of the . Queen of Sheba; and, 6, The Building of the Temple. On the north side, in the larger compartment, 7, the, Judgment of Daniel; and, in the two smaller, 8, Daniel in the Lions' Den; and, 9, The Vision of Daniel. THE ROYAL ANTE-CHAMBER. Containing, in the upper part of two of the walls, six large compartments (three on each side), measuring 13 feet wide by 10 feet 9 inches high. Twenty eight upright narrow compartments, mea suring 5 feet 7 inches high, by about - 2 feet 6 inches wide; and twelve panels for carved "work, four mea suring 6 feet 9 inches wide by 2', feet 9 inches high, and eight measuring 2 feet 2 inches square. Your committee considered that the six large com partments in this locality, being at a considerable Height, might be filled with copies in tapestry of the defeat of the Spanish Armada, taken either in part or altogether from the designs of the tapestry originally existing in the House of Lords, which, your corn ' nittee conceived, it is of great importance to pre serve, as far as possible, to the nation. The twenty ' eight upright compartments might be appropriately filled with portraits relating to the Tudor family, viz. : -Henry VII., Queen Elizabeth of York, Arthur, Prince of Wales, Queen Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII., Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Catherine Howard, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Parr, Edward VI., Queen Mary, Philip 11., Queen Elizabeth, Prin cess Mary, Queen of France, Duchess of Suffolk, Louis XII., Brandon, Duke of Suffolk; the M a rchioness of Dorset, Lady Jane Grey, Lord Guildford Dudley, Princess Margaret, Queen of Scot iand, Lady Angus. James IV , Douglas, Earl of An gus ; James V., Queen Mary of Guise, Mary, Queen of Scuts ; Francois 11., and Lord Darnley. That the twelve panels might be filled with the following sub jects in carved work :-1 and 2, the Camp de Drap d'Or, and the Visit of Charles V. to Henry VIII., in the two compartments on the east and west sides; 3, 4, and 5, the Escape of Mary Queen of Scots, the Mur der of Rizzi°, and Mary looking back on France, in the three compartments on the south side, west of the door, the Escape of Mary, Queen of Scots occupying the central panel ; 6,7, and 8, Queen Elizabeth knight ing Drake, Raleigh spreading his cloak as a carpet for the Queen, and Raleigh landing in Virginia, in the three compartments on the south side east of the door, the subject of the knighting of Drake occupying the centre panel ; 9, 10, 11, and 12, on the north side, Edward VI. granting the charter to Christ's Hospital, Lady Jane Grey at her studies, Sebastian Cabot before Henry VII., and Catherine of Arragon pleading.

A considerable space on each side wall, measuring 77 feet 6 inches wide, not being subdivided into com partments, the committee are of opinion that such, space should be occupied by one large and two smaller . .subjects; the smaller corresponding in width with the dimensions of one window, and the larger com prehending the width of three wind s ows. Of the re maining compartments defined by the architect, two on the side walls measure each 13 feet 3 inches wide by 11 feet 6 inches high ; four, on the same level, in the end walls, measure 12 feet 2 inches wide by 11 feet 6 inches high; the six remaining compartments, three at each end, in the upper part of the walls, measure 12 feet 2 inches wide by 19 feet 7 inches high. The compartments would, therefore, be 18 in number. The committee are of opinion that the sub jects for the Royal Gallery should relate to the mili tary history and glory of the - country, and - that the following subjects would be appropriate : In the three upper compartment in the south wall _ . 1. Boadicea inciting her Army. 2. Alfred in the Camp of the Danes, and 3. Brian Borohnhe overcoming the Danes at the Bridge of Clontarff. In the three upper compartments of the north wall : 4. Edith finding the dead body of Harold. 5. Richard Cur de Lion coming in sight of the Holy City. 6. Eleanor saving the life of her husband, after ards Edward 1., by sucking the poison from a wound in his arm. In the compartments next the proposed large com partment on the west wall : 7. Bruce stopping a retreat to 'protect a woman borne on a litter, and checking the pursuers. 8. Philippa interceding for the lives of the Citizens of Calais. In the lower compartments of the north wall : 9. Edward the Black Prince entering London by the side of King John of France. 10. The marriage of Henry V., at Troyes, with the Princess Catherine of France. In the compartments next the proposed large com partment on the east wall : 11. Elizabeth at Tilbury. 12. Blake at Tunis. In the remaining compartment on the east wall : 13. Marlborough at Blenheim. In the lower compartments on the north wall : 14. The Death of Wolfe. 15. The Death of Abercrombie. In the remaining compartment on the west wall: 16. Lord Cornwallis receiving the Sons of Tippoo as hostages. In the large compartmention the west wall : 17. Trafalgar. The Death of Nelson. In the corresponding compartment on .the east wall : 18. Waterloo—The Meeting of Wellington and Blucher. THE QUEEN'S ROBING ROOM. Containing compartments of various dimensions, adapted for painting and decorations. The committee, influenced by the considerations before expressed as to the expediency of varying the character of the de corations proposed, are of opinion that a series of paintings, and other works of art , illustrating the legend of King Arthur, would be appropriate in this locality ; and the committee unanimously agree to recommend to the commission, that the execution and entire superintendence of such decorations should be entrusted to Mr. Dyce, who has already executed a fresco in the House of Lords. THE GUARD ROOM. Containing two compartments, each measuring twelve feet wide by eight high. The committee con ceived that the second apartments might be filled with the following subjects :- 1. Young Talbot defending his father in battle. 2. Isabella Douglass barring the door with her arm to protect James I. of Scotland. THE LOBBY OF THE GUARD ROOM. Containing one compartment, measuring 14 feet 5 inches high to the points of the gothic arch, by 10 feet wide. The committee have selected the subject of St. Edmund the Martyr slain by the Danes. THE NORMAN PORCH. Containing two compartments, each measuring 18 feet 2 inches high to the point of the Gothic arch, by 10 feet 10 inches wide. It was the opinion of the committee that these compartments would be appro priately filled with the two following subjects :-1. Canute reproving his Courtiers ; 2. Queen Elizabeth on the Sea-side after the Defeat of the Spanish Ar mada. The committee conceived that the subjects in all the localities mentioned should be accmnpanied with inscriptions, and in some instances with appro priateh mottoes ; that in the last-named subject the motto might be, " Affiavit Deus et dissipailtur, in the subject of Canute "Nemo Dominus nisi Deus." THE PEERS' AND ME NT COMM M O S NS' RO REFRESH - Containing compartments of various dimensions, might, in the opinion o f the committee, be decorated with views of remarkable places in the British dominion, such places being selected with a view to their historical importance ;" such as views of London, Edinburgh, Dublin, Stirling, Cork, Waterford, Glas gow, Liverpool, York, Dover, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Oxford, Cambridge, Madras, Bombay,Calcutta, Delhi, Quebec, Malta Gibraltar, Cape Town, Kingstown in Jamaica, Hong.kong, &c. ; also subjects relating to the chase, the harvest, &c. THE CONFERENCE HALL ON THE RIVER FRONT, NOW CALLED " THE PAINTED CHAMBER." Containing 15 compartments adapted for paint ing; two on the east side, measuring 10 feet 4 inches high, by 7 feet 4 inches wide ; five on the The entrance from Old Palace-yard, is also in tended to contain some compartments for painting, but the committee conceive that it would be proper to postpone the consideration of subjects for that locality, as it is not yet certain whether paintings can be seen in it to sufficient advantage. With regard to the technical method in which the paintings proposed should be executed, the committee, although not pre pared to offer a general recommendation on that sub ject, are of opinion that the pictures in the three cor ridors leading from the centre hall, and the pictures in the refreshment rooms should be painted in oil ; and that the Queen's Robing-room, St. Stephen's Hall, and the Royal Gallery, should be painted in fresco. The representation of the four patron saints ; from their size andsituation, might be advantageously executed in mosiac, like the four Evangelists in the pendentives of the cupola of St. Peter's, thus giving an opportunity for the introduction into England of au art highly valued in other times and countries. The committee have further to observe, that move able oil paintings, not coming within the general plan proposed, might be placed in committee-rooms and in other parts of the building.

FIRE IN THE BLACEIRIARS-ROAD.—Last night, about a quarter past ten o'clock, a fire broke out in the midst of a large clump of wo.,den prenii.?s, situate in Cross street, Blackfriars road. . That part in which the fire began was in the occupation of Mr. Nash. a cooper. Owing to the hi , Jily combustible nature of the sock in trade, hardly five minutes elapsed before the cooperage and all it contained were en% eloped in flt7nes. Before eleven o'clock, however, the flames were entirely t:ltin guished; not, however, until the cooperage was levelled with the ground, and the contents eb , stroved. The sur rounding buildings, owing to the exertions of the fire men, escaped with trifling damage. The origin of the fire is unknown. The sufferer, it is understood, was un insured, but the building was protected by a policy in the Went of England office.

On the opposite side to which the wind was blowing stood the spacious mill, thrashing-houses, and barns, and up to seven o 'clock last evening none of these buildings had become ignited. -.At eight o'clock the flames were ascending so high that the neighbour hood, for miles round, was illuminated to such an extent that the village churches and other lofty objects were brought out in bold relief, and the greatest ft ars were then entertained lest the work of destruction should ex tend to the mills. Seeing the alarming progn ss the fire was tasking, an express was sent ti the London fire engine stations, with intelligence of the disaster, but owing to there being no water nearer than three miles to the scene of conflagration, the engines were not dis patched thither, but a body of firemen sent wer t. , done to take chatg~ of the salvage. --- POCKET PICKING.— A respectable y oung man living in Pimlico, had ecctsion to attend a ineetitz of a society, in the City, of which he is a member, and, on his return home between twelve and one o'clock on Wednesday morning last, on passing St. Clements Church, in the Strand, a middle-aged person of gentle manly appearance hailed what seemed, to be a return cab, which immediately pulled up, and the gentleman, on getting in, called to the youtrz, man, wishing to know where ho was going,: to which he ans wered Pimlico.
