Some curious experiments have jueL, t;a:,:eo.p <leo at Paris, to test a new contrivance for protecting firemen from' the action of the flames, and enabling them to resist a strong heat. It consists of gloves made of amianthus, a kind of filamentous mineral; a helmet of the same material, fitting into another of wire gauze, and a shield one metre in length and 80 centimetres broad, besides other garments of the above-mentioned materials. Three firemen, having put on the gloves, were enabled to carry iron bars at a white heat for three minutes with out being ob'iged to let go their hold. Straw was afterwards set fire to in a large cast-iron cauldron, and continually kept up, while a fireman wearing the double helmet above-mentioned stood above the flames, which he warded off with the shield. Although they rose at times above his head, he was enabled to keep his post for .a minute aed a half, at the end of which time his pulse, which was at 72 before the experiment, had risen to 152. Another fireman followed, who, having covered his forehead with a piece of arniantlme, was en abled to resist the flames for three minutes and 47 seconds. Two longitudinal heaps of chips, splin ters, and straw had been prepared, about five feet asunder, and 30 feet in length ; two lateral open ings ,being left to enable the firemen to get out in case of necessity, four men'were now equipped in complete suits of wire-gauze, with boots of ami anthus ; two of them wore, besides, a drets of and anthu,s over another suit of clothes rendered incom bustible by means of borax, alum, and phosphate of ammonia; the two others wore a double dress of prepared cloth ; one man, moreover, was en trusted with a basket of wire gauze on his back, containing a boy ten years old, protected by a hel met of andantino. The heaps being set fire to, these men went into the flames together, and walking at a very moderate pace, performed the distance several times. At the end of sixty seconds, the boy shrieked out aloud, and the fire man who carried him immediately stepped out of the flames ; the boy was examined, but was found perfectly uninjured ; his skin was cool, and his pulse, which was at 84 before the experiment, had only risen to 96; he might therefore have resisted longer, had he not been frightened at seeing the flames meet over his head, while, at the same time, one of the ropes whibh held the basket had slid down the fireman's shoulder a little, with a slight shock. A few minutes after he was as gay as ever and betrayed no signs of indisposition. The fire man's pulse, which was 92 before, was 116 after the experiment. The three other men remained 2 minutes and 44 seconds in the flames, and sta'ed on coming out that they had experienced no parti cular painful sensation, except that of excessive heat. Their pulses, which were 88, 84, and 72 be fore, were respectively 152, 138, and 124 after. A circle of fire about ten metres in diameter was now forme d extre extremely around theme, and well with their they fire withstood the coverings, n i ge e , ffe a c l t . though at a distance of five metres the heat was so intense that none of the numerous bystanders could resist it. FUNERAL OF THE DUCHESS OF GLOUCE>sT.EI?. (From the Court Newsman.) The remains of her Royal Highness the late Duchess of Gloucester arrived at St. George's Chapel, Windsor, at half-past 12 o'clock setterday. A guard of honour of the 3d Battalion of Grenadier Guards was on duty at the entrance, and the band of the regiment played the " Dead March iu Saul." The nave, through which the funeral procession passed, was covered with black clo.h, and the floor and also the seats in the choir were covered with the same material ; and in front of the read ing -desk was an escutche.:n of the arms of the late duchess. On'the procession moving from the entrance, the gentlemen and , boys composing the choir of St. George's Chapel commenced singing the 25th and 26th verses of the 11th chapter of St. John, " I am the resurrection ;" and, when the body reached the choir, the 90th Psalm, " Lord, thou past been our refuge," wa.s chanted. The coffin was placed upon tressels, with the feet towards the altar, and the coronet and cushion were.laid upon the coffin. The chief mourner, the Duchess of Atholl, sat at the head of the oorpse, attended by Lady Cooper. The supporters of the pall (the Hon. Mrs. Liddell and Lady Georgiana Bathurst) and Lady Caroline Murray and La3y Charles Somer.:et sat on either side.- The Lord Chamberlain, the Marquis of Breadalbane, stood at the feet, having on his right the Vice-Chamberlain, Lord Ernest Bruce, and on his left the Comptroller and Chief Equerry of the late Duchess, Colonel the Hon. Agustus Liddell, and the Comptroller in the Lord Chamberlain's Department, Mr. Norman Macdonald. shortly before the arrival of the procession, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, entered the chapel, and were conducted to stalls immediately adjoining to that of the Sovereign. Prince Albert and the Duke wore the riband and star of the Garter. His Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar was also conducted to a seat. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam bridge, tho Hereditary Grand Thichess of Mecklen burgh-Strelitz, and the Princes Mary of Cambridge were in the royal closet of the chapel. Earl Spencer, Lord Steward of the Queen's Household, and the Marquis of Abercorn, Groom of the Stole to the Prince, occupied their respective stalls as Knights of the arter on opposite sides' of the chapel, and each wore the riband and star of the order. Beneath Lord Abercorn's stall were seated the visitors, friends of the late Duchess, viz.—Earl Howe, Viscount Falkland, Lerd. Redesdale, the Hon. Mr. Waidegrave, Sir William Gomm, Colonel F. H. Seymour (son of Sir George Seymour), Col. Forster, and Colonel Stephens. On the entrance of the processidn in the choir the executors of her Royal Highness the late Duchess, the Earl of Verulam, Mr. W. H. Vincent, and Mr. Mortimer Drummond were conducted to seats in front of those occupied by the friends le the deceased Duchess. There was a large number of the nobility pre ant. Garter King of Arms, Sir Charles Young, bear ing his gold sceptre, stood near the coffin. The Canons of Windsor, the Rev. William Can ning, the Rev. Charles Proby, and the Hon. and Rev. Edward Moore, preceded the body from the entrance of the chapel ; and the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Cust was also present. The 90th Psalm having been chantel, the Dean of Windsor, the Hon. and Rev. Gerald Wellesley (who were his badge of office in ihe order of the Garter) read the lesson com mencing, " Now is Christ risen from the dead." When this was finished the members of the choir of the chapel sang Handers anthem (from Job, chap. xxix., v. 11 and 12), " When the ear heard her," together with the chorus, "She delivered the poor that cried." The coffin, of crimson velvet, with gilt mountings, which had been covered with a black velvet pall, having eight escutcheons of her Royal Highness's arms emblazoned thereon, was then un covered, and was removed to the entrance of the royal vault, and the dean proceeded.rith the ser vice, " Man that is born of a woman, and "For asmuch as it hath pleased Almighty God," when the coffin was gradually lowered into the vault, near the Sovereign's stall. The choristers then sang, "I heard a voice from Heaven" (Croft) ; the Dean repeated the Lord's Prayer, and also the prayer "Almighty God, with whom do live the spirits of them that depart." A second anthem, also by Handel, "Her body is buried in peace, but her name liveth evermore," was then sung. The dean of Windsor having concluded the burial service, Garter King of Arms proclaimed near the grave the style of her Royal Highness the late Duchess as widow of William Frederick Duke of Gloucester, fourth daughter of the late King George 111., and aunt of her present Majesty the Queen. The Lord Chamberlain and the gentlemen of his department remained in the chapel after the depar ture of the Royal Family, to superintend the closing of the vault. The funeral was :conducted by Mr. Bo.nting, of St. James's-street, whose experience in ceremonies of this character now includes no less than 14 Royal intt , rnients, dating back to that of the Princess Charlotte. DEATH OF MR. CRING, THE VBTEBAN USHER. We have beard with regret of the death of Mr. Ching, the veteran and venerable usher of the Court of Queen's Bench. Missing him from his accustomed post—a post which he occupied upwards of forty-six years with great credit to himself and satisfaction to the bench and bar, we inquired for him, and heard that he had passed this life. He bad seen, in his time, many changes in the Court of which he was himself not an important part. He bad seen several men elevated from the bar toi the Chief Justiceship of his Court, and many other men of high legal attainineuat raised to the dignified position of Judges there. in, and in the various judicial successions he had the good fortune to be respected by all. As an instance, we may refer to a little incident that reflects honour on Lord Campbell, and credit on the memory of Mr. Ching. Some years ago when the late Lord Denman presided as Lord Chief Justice of the Court, Lord Campbell, who nc w occupies that position, and who had then been raised to the dignity of Lord Chancellor of Ireland, had official occa , ion to present himself in court ; and, seeing Mr. Ching, his lordship stepped down from the bench , and shook hands with him. His order and regularity in his arrangements, and his memory of the statutes, we e such that be knew where to lay his hand instantaneously upon every law authority, from "Doomsday Birk" to "Coke upon Littleton," and from "Coke upon Little ton" downwards, and thus, amidst a multitude of authori ties aid statutes, showed his valuable aptness as a law librarian, in a position where the authorities sailed for require to be produced concurrently with the points of the arguments which call for their support. His habits were most temperate ; and during his long ser vice he had never been a day absent from his pest, nor a minute late in the morning in appearing at it at the sitting of the Court. His death was not expected. He had been always healthy ; and in the fulness of years, after a well and usefully.spent life in tke public serv:ce, he passed from this life while sitting in his chair, with out a struggle, his death being as placid as the even tenor of his way was undisturbed. A gentleman in an usher's gown, Mr. Ching enjoyed in life then respect of all who knew him, and is accompanied in his grave with the regret of his many friends for his death.— Advertiser.

A day or two afterwards the managermet her, dressed in flaming colours. " Ah," he exclaimed, " how's this, not in mourning ?" "It is not the custom to wear mourning for distant relatives." " And you call your mother so ?" " Oh, yes, she died in America." THE COUNT DE CHAMBORD. The France-Centrale of Blois publishes the fol lowing letter addressed by the Count de ChambDrd to General Count de la Rochejaquelein on the cc casioa of the death of his sister-in-law : " Venice, March 17. "In reply to the letter by which you 'have charged the Duke de Levis to announce to me the serious loss you have sustained, I am anxious to express to you myself, my dear General, all the part I take in your affliction, and in your fraternal regret. Why could I not have been a witness of the great homage which has just been paid to your venerated sister, and in her person to the whole of La Vendee. I wish I could have heard the magracent tribute of just praises paid to so exemplary a life by the successor of St. Hilary, who added to all these honours the authority of his presence and the seal of hie eloquence. I could not read without deep emo'eion the •affecting recital of the funeral solemnity ; I joined from a distance in this family mourning, conducted by the first pastor of the diocese, shared by a faithful people, and become in a moment . for France a source of public afflicti , n. My mind and heart accompanied to her last 'dwell ing, with the crowd which followed her coffin, that high-minded woman, the wife, the daughter, and the sister of those heroes and martyrs who fought so valiantly, and whose generous blood was shed so la vishly in one of the most sacred and most glorious struggles that ever took place. lam anxious alio to again express to you, on this occasion, my esteem and my lively gratitude to the illustrious name of La Roche jaquelein, so nobly borne by you, and which, I doubt not, will revive in your grand-nephew Julien. Tell him from me that such is my firm confidence, and I am sure that I shal not be mistaken. 80, under these melancholy circumstances, my interpreter to him and to Are rest of your family, whose invariable devoted. ness I have known for so many years. Rely, my dear General, on my gratitude and my constant friendship. (Signed) "Manz." • ROTALL.BRITISH BANK.—A further divid end of 2s. 6d. in the pound will be paid next Wednesday. ELECTION LOGIC. --" I tell you wot ; the Halide:). cracy is asset of harrogant, purse-proud hupstarts ; and wot is wuss, hoftenticaes no better than pauper:." REVERSE OP FORTIINE.—One of the country papers states that among the competitors for the clerkship of the Abbeyleiz Poor-law Union was a gentleman who had spent 5,060/. in contesting the representation of the Queen's County with Sir Charles Coote, one of the pre sent members, and was only defeated by a majority of 11 votes ; he wag, moreover, a magistrate of the county, and a 'Master of Arts in Trinity College, Dublin. None of those circumstances, however, were of any avail, and the appointment thus coveted was won by a person in comparatively humble life. CITY of LONDON UNION.—FRAIIDS OP MANINI AND PAIIL.—The guardians of the City of London Union have summoned the overseers of the parish of St. Ste phen, Coleman-street, to a special session of magistrates, to be holden at Guildhall, this day (Saturday), at &even o'clock precisely, to show cause why a warrant of dis tress should not issue against their goods for the sum called for by the guardians, and which includes the de falcations. The question affects every ratepayer in Lon- don, and is therefore a highly important matter. The Austrian steam-frigate Novara, which, as already stated, left Trieste on the 30th ult. in order to circum navigate the globe, is under the command of Commodore Bernard Wulleradorf Von Urbair, and Captain Pack, second in command. The Novara is a vessel of 1,800 tons, and is pierced for 44 guns, but in this expedition she carries only 30. Her total length es 35$ feet, her breadth 45 feet, and her bulwarks stand 18 feet above the water. Her crew consists of 351 men. The committee of scientific men she has on board is composed of Dr. Ilochstetter (geology and natural philosophy), Trauenfeld and Zelebor (zoology), Dr. Schwartz, and a gardeaer, M. Jsllineck (botany), Dr. Scherser (ethnography, anthropology, national economy, and commerce), and lastly, M. Selleny (painter). It should not be forgotten that the Novara is ordered to proceed to China, and the captain has full powers to negotiate a treaty of commerce with the Celestial Empire, as soon as we have paved the way for Austria. Two MILLIONS or Toes oz' SILVER.—The ocean holds dissolved two millions of tons of silver. To three French chemists the discovery is due. They took gallons of water from the coast of St. Maki, a few leagues from land, and analysed it in two ways. A portion of the water they acted upon by the usual tests fur silver ; and the presence of the precious metal was clearly ascertained. The remainder of the water they evaporated, and the salt they obtained they boiled with lead. This gave them a button of impure lead, which they subjected to what is termed cupel!ation. This rather grand word denotes a very simple process. The button is placed upon a little tiny saucer made of lime, and is submitted to beat -sufficient to melt lead, but not high enough to affect the silver, should any be present. The lead soon begins to melt, and as it melts it is sucked up by the porous little saucer or cupel ; it grows smaller and smaller until no lead remains, and in its place is a little brilliant speck, far brighter than the boiling lead. The oupel is then removed from the fire, and as it cools the red hot spark cools too ' 'and you have a homoeopathic globule of silver, very much like one of those small pills that druggists d '- lode smokers into buying to take a way the smell of the fragrant weed. The operation, as I have said, is very simple, and is the ordinary mode of proem in,g silver from the ore. Analyses are being made in this way every day at the Mint. When the presence of silver is doubtful the work is most exciting. I saw an English ore so tested the other day, and sure enough, after a few minutes of anxious watching, shone forth a bright spark about the size of a pin's head, for which our eyes were longing. Tne ore proved a very rich one, and we shall most likely soon hear more about it.—Dieeeste's House hold Words. STATISTICS OF THE LONDON POLICE FOR 1856.—1 t appears that in all 73,240 persons were taken into cus tody, of whom 45,941 were males, and 27,299 females ; 18,000 of the apprehensions were on account of drun kenness, 8,160 for unlawful possesien ef goods, 7,021 for simple larceny, 6,763 for common as saults, 2,914 for assaults on the police ; 4,303 women were taken into custody as prostitutes. The pe• riod of life most prolific of crime is that between the 20th and 25th years. The conviction upon trial in 1856 were in the following proportions :—Under 10 years of age, 1 ; 10 years and under 45 years, 91 ; 15 y e a rs and under 20 years, 610 ; 20 years and under 25 years, 770 ; 25 years and under 30 3 ears, 390 ; 30 years and under 40 years, 410 ; 40 years and under 50 years, 188 ; 50 years and under 60 years, 90 •60 years and upwards, 37. The commit tals for murder in the year 1856 were 11 ; they were 12 iu 1855, 10 in 1854, 7 in 1853, 11 in 1852, 8 in 1851, 11 in 1250, 19 in 1849, 11 in 1848, and 10 in 1847. Of the larcenies in dwellin,g-houses last year only . 315 were committed by means of false keys, as many as 2,175 through doors being left open, 679 by lifting up a window or breaking glass, and 31 by entering attic windows from empty houses. Agai n, 1,595 such larcenies were committed by lodgers, 1,701 by servants, and as many as 637 by means of false mesesges. The cases enumerated under the last three heads are such as the police could hardly be expected to prevent. 2,371 persons were reported last year to the police as lost, and of these the police restored 1,034. Ia the same period 127 suicides were committed. 874 2,398 6,417 5,990 2,097 4,002 1,362 1,036 517 332 2,010 35,062 LITERATURE. Adventures of a Cat. By Alfred Elwes, author of "Adventures of a Bear," " Adventures of a Dog," &c.. With eight illustrations, by Harri- . son Weir. Adey and Co., Henrietta-street. Cats and kittens are among the household idols of childhood. Who of our philosophers, state-- MOD, and financialists has not in his time indulged. in luggings, hugginga, and tuggings of some feline memier cf the world's family ? Have not the greatest and wisest of us lavished admiration and devotion on some tabby or tortoiseshell mamma and her beautiful offspring, with all possible theo retical kindness, but, we fear, too frequently, with considerable practical cruelty ? However, it is an established fact that we all have had a natural yearning to kittens, puppies, hard-bake, and but tercups and daisies; and we believe there are many among us who retain enough of childhood's fresh ness and folly in their hearts to enable them to peruse this book with a smile of pleaurable radia tion and a palpable degree of sympathetic interest. The story is well concocted, being rather above the. usual orthr of juvenile volumes, buti perfectly within the comprehension of any tolerably acute Miss Polly or Mater Freddy. The numerous illustrations, by Harrison Weir, are fraught with expression and fun. The assistance of this talented artist is alone enough to sell a much higher priced and less amusing production than "The Life of a Cat;" and we predict a large appreciating circle of admirers at the shrine of such a learned and en tertaining Grimalkin. Systematic Philosophy, and New Theories of Light and Heat. By George Fellows Harrington. Smith, Elder, and Co., Cornbill. - - The author of this ,attempts to perfectly recon cile and elucidate all practical and developed sciences and natural existences, with Scriptural assertion and revelation—a rather delicate and difficult tisk, which we are neither ashamed nor afraid to confess is so far beyond the power of our blindly reverential brains that we decline even offering an opinion on its merits ; saving that we think the abstruse ratiocinations of its tendency to desire to explain the mighty mysteries of creation in their infinite and sublime origin, will limit its circulation to comparatively few readers. Kansas. By T. H. Gladstone. Routledge. This little volume is founded on a series of let ters on the state of Kansas, which appeared in the Times newspaper during the course of last year. They have been revised and rendered more com plete, and are now published, iu the hope of giving a faithful picture of the political . strife and border warfare, of which Kansas has been lately the scene. The author has wisely avoided discus sions on the vexed questions of the district, having only incidentally referred to the subject of slavery, nor• has he advocated any of the Free State party measures, though be appears to consider them favourably. Having desired to confine himself chiefly to what he saw and verified personally, he has only noticed cursorily the events that have occurred since his departure. A few concluding chapters on the origin of the troubles in Kansaewill be of service toithose unacquainted with the rise and progress of the contest. Oliver Cromwell's Letters and Speeches, with Eluci dations. By Thomas Carlyle. Vol. 111. Chap man and Ha'l. The third volume of this work has now been issued in the new edition of Mr. Carlyle's works, publishing. Two of his most remarkable works are therefore completed—" The, Frmch Revolu tion" and " Oliver Cromwell." His great ad miration for the Protector is well known ; but however much his reader may differ from his opi nions of the English Dictator, it cannot be denied that the present work is most valuable to the his torical student, as the letters, speeches, &c., are given to speak for themselves, and the reader is able to draw his own inferences. The series is issued monthly, and will include the whole of Mr. Carlyle's works. 7hv Woodman. By G. P. R. James. Hodgson. The Parlour Library is one of the best of the cheap series. It consikts chiefly of reprints of standard works, and, as these are far superior to translations from the French and original works of an indifferent character, those who wish to pur chase cheap books of &ton should avail them selves of it. " The Woodman," by G. P. R. James, is the last issued. Those who pre fer the foreign school of literature will find some books from the French among the series, but it is to be regretted that so many of these are now in circulation, as they form anything but a desirable library for those of limited experience. The Heroes of Asgard and the Giants of Jotnheim . By the author of " Mia and Charlie," and her sister. Bogue. This is a pleasing and instructive little book for young folks. hi — ai;iniple manner a very good ac count is given of the early mythology of the Druids. This author has previously published some excel lent works for the young, and therefore many will regard with satisfaction an addition to the , list, in the shape of one containing a description " Of forests an& eochaotn3eots drear, Where more is meant than meets the ear." Jack Hinton the Guardsman. By Charles Lever. Chapnian and Hall. Another work of this brilliant author has just appeared in the cheap series, and it is one which is generally a favourite among his admirers. The illustrations are some of the happiest of its clever illustrator's, and how successful H. K. Browne is sometimes every reader of the serial stories of the day must know. The edition is offered at a mode rate price with good typo and binding, and is in every way suitable for a library. DOM Viquette. By H. Jameson. Effingham Wilson. This is a Spanish story, full of romantic adven ture, and not devoid of interest. It does not dis play any great ability, but may serve to entertain an idle hour for those who follow its hero's Quixotic fortunes. Naval and !Unitary inteingence. APPOINTMENTS. Surgeon.—Archibald Elliott, M.D. (1851), to the Victory. Paymaster's Assistant.—Alfred Whitlin (1855), to the Centurion. Clerk's Assistant—George B. Westcott, to the Calcutta. PORTSMOUTH-FRIDAY. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have again returned to their determination that none but " continuous-service men" shall be permitted to enter her Majesty's ships of war. The death of Admiral of the White the Right Hon. Lord William Fitzroy gives promotion to our respected commander in chief, Vice Admiral Sir Geo. Seymour, who now becomes admiral of the blue, and whose flag will be, doubtless, heisted at the main of the Victory, guard ship, to-morrow. We have it on good authority that Vice-Admiral Sir George Rose Sartorius will be appointed to the command in chief at Sheerness. The Hastings, 60, screw block ship, Capt. Wm. M. R. Maude, C. 8., was ordered to be undocked yesterday, but owing to the prevalence of the north easterly winds the tide has fallen short by a foot. Orders were received this morning that extra exer tions were to be used to get the ship out of dock. The Argos, 4, screw revenue cruiser, Commander John W. S. Grundy, is alongside ,Command d jetty, taking out coals of an inferior nature, to re ceive others in. lie u. She is also receivin g some a dditi on al improvements in her furnace depart ment. The Melville, hospital ship, Commander Henry Trellope, in No. 2 dock, had her hold filled with water this morning, to discover a leak. A great deal of her copper and planking had been stripped off prior to this. Sheis now undergoing a thorough examination, and her defects will take some clays to repair. The Melville will convey the bead. A Cl s i s in is a t , an a e n e d .

The Agamemnon, 91, screw, Master Commander C. T. A. Noddall, will come out of dock on Tues day or Wednesday next. She is likely to proceed to Greenwich about the 20th. The submarine cable will take at least 40 days to coil down into the after hold (1,300 miles). The fore hold is fitted to receive 15 miles of large cable. ELECTION OF A MASTER AND MATRON FOR THt M AItILEBONE WORKHOUSE.— Yesterday having been appointed for the election of a new master and matron to the Marylebone Workhouse, the parochial authori• ties proceeded with the election by ballot at one o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Jellings were the successful candidates. THE CITY SHERIFFS FOR THE YEAR ENSUING.--It i. understood that Mr. W. Lawrence, of the ward of Bread street, will in the ensuing year fulfil the duties of one of the sheriffs of the City cf London, which office he would have undertaken before bad it not entailed upon him such duties that were incompatible with the respect due to the then recent demise of his father, the late alderman of the ward. The other sheriff will be Mr. E.
