Electricity : Shock Direct and Indirect.—ln order to certify the reader as to the double source of danger in a thunder-storm,—which is, in fact, an electric discharge between clouds oppositely electrified, accompanied with the usual phenomena of flash and sound, only operated on a grand and terrific scale,—we shall premise that all bodies are possessed of electricity, and that the spark and noise are not the solitary indications of a disturbance of that fluid in a body, or of its restoration to its equili brium again. The shock felt by any body, animate or inanimate, when its electrical condition has been dis turbed and recomposed, is generally considered to be the direct effect of restoring the balance between positive (vitreous of French philosophers) and negative (resinous of French) electric states : but it may be also caused in a manner indirect and circuitously, in technical words by induction. In order to show how this occurs, we shall translate a passage from a first-rate work on physic, embracing electricity, in French, by M. Pouillet, wherein the author details an experiment quite conclusive on the point, and which illustrates the principles by a practical example, and can be repeated by any one who chooses 90 to do at their leisure. M. Pouillet, speaking• of bodies electrified by induc tion, returning to their original state as soon as the influence ceases, remarks that this may occur in two ways, instan taneously or gradually : in either case the recomposition of the two electric fluids takes place correspondingly. " In these phenomena," M. Pouillet proceeds, "neither one nor other of the fluids issues from the mass which receives the electric influence, but they both experience a change of place throughout the extent of the mass, as well when they separate as whe❑ they reunite ; and these rapid electrical motions produce in the ponderable particles of matter very remarkable mechanical disturb ances or chemical effects. For example, a frog, prepared and arranged as shown in the adjoining figure,t appears to experience no effect when the machine is turned slowly, which charges the conductor with vitreous (positive) electricity ; neverthe less its natural electricity is disturbed by induction, the resinous (negative) is excited in that part of the frog corresponding to the conductor (head), whilst the vitreous (positive) is repelled into the ground by the wire ; and, as soon as a spark is drawn from the conductor, the sudden reconv,sition of the electricities in the frog im presses upon its whole body a sort of convulsion, which makes it leap as if it sprung up by a voluntary motion ; stl iking proof, that, in the return to the natural state, the particles of bodies are thrown into agitation by the elec trical fluids in their effort to re-unite. A disturbance of this kind is called the return shock. The experiment would not be attended with success upon a frog after it has been dead five or six hours ; but it would succeed very well with a frog just decapitated and skinned, and better still with a living frog just out of the water. In connexion with a powerful machine, a man who is in communication with the ground: undergoes similar shocks. This may be tried with a conductor on a grand scale : two persons placed at the two extremities of this conductor do not experience sensible effects whilst the charge is made ; but if one of them approaches sufficiently near the conductor to draw sparks, the other experiences, at the moment, all the violence of the return shock, without the appearance of any trace of electricity or light between him and the conductor. In studying the effects of thunder, we shall see that a storm cloud may act in an analogous manner, and strike at one and the same time, by the direct and by the return shock." The interruption to the transmission of electricity from the earth and bodies on its surface, to the clouds, when the latter fly high, and the air itself is dry and in sulating, i.e. non-conducting, along with other favoura ble meteorological conditions, as to temperature pres sure, &c. ; is supposed to account for that buoyant ex altation of the common feeling, called by the Germans genzeingefiihl the opposite atmospheric conditions, of course then, will account for the opposite feelings of languor and depression, by the loss of electricity our bo dies sustain (using a common term) through the im proved conducting media of moist water air, near clouds, &c.: this state of depressed animal energy is subject of notoriety —not only amongst ourselves as human beings, but also among all classes of the animal creation. In some nervous temperaments, i. e. where irritability and sensibility of the body are not counterpoised by the equal developments of the muscular and circulating systems, the sensations during a thunder storm are exquisitely distressing, quite apart from the moral condition such as alarm—those whose legs have been fractured or hurt it may be years ago—who may have old gun-shot wounds, &c., find these places, become painful; all this may be owing to electrical changes in ourselves andbodies around: the strength of body and animal spirits return after the thunder has " cleared the air," as people say—or as we should rather say, after the air has cleared itself of the thunder cloud, which return shows the depression to have been independent of muscular exertion. Shoes and Boots.—With reference to the plan of wear ing cork soles, which we omitted to speak about, we have lately seen a new plan of inserting the cork sole, which certainly to our mind obviates many of the objec tions to the old plan, whereby the leakage through the stitching of the upper leather is prevented by a series of double stitching, which renders the upper leather more secure than before, whilst guarding against the possi -r - _ a _..z._ a ~.. ~1.., NVIr. J. e lignuness and effectual resistance to wet seems to recommend this plan far before the heavy leather soles, for . those who have much walking in all weathers. We shall try the plan for some time, and hereafter, if the work should attain to the honour of a second edition, we can give the result of the trial fairly. A boot-maker of the name of Russell, Duke-street, Liverpool, is the party to whom we allude as having drawn our attention to his " improved cork sole." With regard to the wear of woollen socks—especially when the soft fine lamb's wool is used, as in the before alluded to, midge pattern—the method of washing them requires care in order to prevent them felting, or " run ning up," so as to become inconveniently small; thebest plan is to have them washed before deeply soiled, so as that they can be rapidly washed in hot water, and immediately put upon awooden stretcher to dry gradually; by this means they will keep their shape and elasticity. Instructions to Bathers.—" With respect to the man ner of bathing, the most important point is to moderate the shock to the nervous and the delicate. This, as a general rule, is best done by a sudden immersion of the whole body. The uneasy feelings are much augmented by the practice, adopted by the timid, of gradually per mitting the water to ascend higher and higher until the whole body is immersed. A little fortitude is necessary to take the first plunge, but after this little or no incon venience is g .nerally felt ny repeating it. The time best adapted for bathing demands also a passing com ment. By common consent, early in the morning, before breakfast, is preferred ; and it is considered to be impro per whilst digestion is going on, or at least during the early stages. The process of digestion occasions a con centration of the vital activity on the stomach, and this is morbidly modified by any cause that acts powerfully on the nervous system, or interferes with the general vascular and nervous action, as bathing certainly does. But although before breakfast is the best, it is not the only time for bathing. Under similar circumstances it may be advantageously had recourse to whenever diges tion is completed, or considerably advanced. The best general rules for guidance, as to the use of the cold bath especially, when performed at seasonable times, are not to employ it when the individual is cool or chilly, or when the heat is undergoing resolution by the establishment of perspiration, which is a cooling process."—Dr. Dung linson's Elements of Hygiene. Philadelphia, 1835. (P. 417.) Let even a coward, at entering the water, but believe the fact, that " the human body, in an ordinary healthy state, with the chest full of air, is lighter than water;" and ? as 'Ur. Arnott justly t•bserves, "it would lead to the saving of more lives, in cases of shipwreck and in other accidents, than all the mechanical life preservers which man's ingenuity will ever contrive." e., pot insulate!

We condense these remarks which we would fain en large upon fully, into the three following golden cautions. If you are no swimmer, and are in danger of drowning, as you think, under any circumstances—yeu are safe, if ding of a pie vou mind to to all such sources, and to the Keep your chest full of air-Land keep your hands in the water. Do not plunge or struggle. Thus your race will be always out of the water, and you can breathe as ordinary. Never let your mind get flurried, for you are safe if you are collected, and doing the easiest thing in the world—floating, as we say. A Hint for those who can swim about saving those who cannot swim from drowning.—A swimmer who may at- he wa by bringing him to shore, must avoid getting within such struggling person's reach, or he will in all proba bility lose his own life in the attempt rashly to save that of another. Let him remember, then, to avoid the death-grasp, as it is called, of the drowning ; for it can seldom be quitted when once fastened, and , both go down inevitably f The way is, to swim round till their plung ing slackens, and they rise to the surface of the water Denerally for the last time, when you must go behind Physique et de Meteorologie. 3rd Edit. Vol. I THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD them— never before them; seize either the back of the neck, or even a lock of the back hair, particularly it long hair, will be quite sufficient to hold them, and to urge them before you to shore—holding them by one hand, and swimming with the other. (Parties should practise swimming with either hand alone, and they will be more fitted, having tested their own resources this way, to rely upon their ability for any attempt to rescue others.) Sometimes the foot can be readiest seized : this will do, though not so well. Always keep clear of their arms and hands, with one exception perhaps—the back of their arm, or grasping the shoulders round and under the arm pit from behind. They must be made your prisoner in one of these ways, which are the chief, or else you may be made, however unintentionally, theirs, which, as we have said, is fatal to both ; the reverse being a happy success in your object. Alas ! Ili,w many noble endeavours, on the part even of good swimmers, are worse than thrown away, by not attending to this—how often does there result a double loss of life, deepening into horror the earlier part of the catastrophe—as our newspaper records show almost day by day. A per son had better not jump in to help, under the prompt ings of a noble anxiety, unless he can with presence of mind put these precautions into practice. If in his praise worthy efforts to save the struggler, or the lifeless body, from a " watery grave," he finds his own strength fail ing, and the hope he bravely cherished impossible to realise; then he must consign his prisoner to his fate, and save his own life, however distressing to desert a drowning fellow-creature. This duty to himself he cannot discharge if he have allowed himself to become im prisoned in the drowning man's death-grasp : for though magnanimous courage may call him to make an attempt at rescuing a fellow-creature from fatal danger, and none would keep this in more distinct view than the writer, as a moral obligation ; yet it is no less true that an attempt so to do without the probability of accomplishing it through adequate and properly-directed means, is, however amia ble a trait of enthusiastic feeling for another's jeopardy, condemned as rash by prudence, as an infringement of or ganic and inorganic laws, amounting to a temptation of Providence, though in the loveliest garb rash profligacy of your own existence can be found to wear ! Yet it is a mistaken building of a tower without having counted the cost,' the prosecution of which can only be left off by doing as we have said, ere the weight of its falling mass and scaffold crushes such builder under its destruc tive ruins. Coolness is never more emphatically the handmaiden of courage than here ; and let us engrave these rules by another word - begin- . ning with the letter C, that is —Caution; like the Irish man taking prisoners— be always surrounding them—(a push now ;Ind then will be all needed often). Courage to attempt their rescue ; coolness to apply knowledge ; caution to crown with success a heroism well begun. If but one life more were rescued through our suggestions, this book may be, " like bread cast upon the waters," found after many days—many years it may be—useful for once, and the author will be immeasurably repaid.

BTRO N NOTICES The Fundamental Principles of Modern Judaism laves. tigated. By Moses Margoliouth, of Trinity College, Dublin. Wertheim, London; Perris and Newling, Liverpool. This is intrinsically an important work ; but at the pre sent period of the history of our church and nation, when the interest and prospects of the House of Israel are at tracting so much attention, it is peculiarly valuable. The object of it is to bring before the Christian world the pre sent state of religion amongst the Jews, as contrasted with that observed by their forefathers, and instituted by Moses, at the express command of the Almighty ; and it is demonstrated here, by numerous authentic documents, and, to our minds, irrefragable arguments, that the two are as much at variance as light with darkness. It might naturally be expected, from the professed reverence, even at the present day, of the Jewish people for " the law and the prophets," that the observances enjoined therein would be scrupulously attended to; but we find, on the contrary, from the volume before us, that such an expec tation cannot be realized, and that the " commandments of men" are substituted, by the Rabbinical teachers, for the doctrines of scripture. The reliances of modern Jews for mercy and acceptance with God are delineated by Mr. Margoliouth with praiseworthy tenderness, and, no doubt, with the strictest fidelity, and to us, who understand the foundation on which their fathers built their hopes, the present sad degradation of the nation cannot but excite feelirgs of wonder and sorrow. Mr. Margoliouth has exhibited considerable research in the prosecution of his subject, and has collected an extraordinary array of facts, which, as far as our experience extends, is for the first time presented to the public in such a popular form. Introductory to the volume is a preface, by the Rev. Chancellor Raikes, and following which is a brief memoir of the author. A number of engravings, illustrative of many parts of the subject, are also interspersed. No doubt the work will receive from the Christian publi c the attention it deserves, and we shall take an opportunity of extracting from its pages, not only to s h ow t h e sty l e o f the author, but to bring before our readers several impor tant particulars connected with this interesting people, with which we are convinced they are not at present ac quainted. Popular Tales and Legends. . Burns, London. The best selection of the legends which delighted our youth, interspersed with some which are of later date, or have not hitherto come under our observation, is contained in the beautiful little volume before us, for which parents anxious to place in the hands of their children amusement, from which all that is unfit to be submitted to youthful weeded, ought to thank the spi- ung this volume is most appropriate.

SELECTIONS A FACT.—Brickrnakers have become quite scarce; as not a labourer can be found, since the growth of tempe rance, who will undertake to wet his clay!—Punch. THE AFFGHANS PROVED TO BE JEWS.—Sir William Jones, in his " Discourses," says—" There is very solid ground for believing that the Affghans descended from the Jews, because they sometimes, in confidence, avow that unpopular origin, which, in general, they sedulously con ceal, and which other Nlussulmans positively assert—be cause Hazaret, which appears to be the Pizareth of Esdras, is one of their territories; and, principally, because their language is evidently a dialect of the scriptural Chaldaic." Recent occurrences would rather tend to confirm than to confute this conjecture. The treachery, the disunion, and the eagerness for spoil of the modern Affghans, are not without their close parallels among the ancient He brews. The gates of Gaza, carried off by the might of Sampson, have their counterpart in the celebrated gates of Somnauth. The Mahomedan Jews of Cahoot sold their prisoners for a heavy ransom ; and, like their Hebrew brethren of the present day, they have evinced a decided predilection for our old clothes.—Colburn.'s Rides in an Author's Omnibus. KING O'CONNELL'S INTENDED HOUSEHOLD.—Sup posing (says Punch) the present agitation in Ireland to end in a repeal of the Union, and that O'Connell should be proclaimed King, by the title of Daniel the First, it would be a matter of speculation to ccnsider how he would form his household.

I am of no sect, but ' the sect of the Nazarenes;' of no party, but the party of the Church in England, which I hold to be Catholic, as maintaining all Christian truth, held by all, at all limes, and in all places; and Protestant, as protesting against certain corrupt and dangerous novelties, both in doctrine and practice, maintained by that branch of the church which holds communion with Rome. In neces sary points—viz., the articles of the creed, &c.—l am bound by the constant belief of the Church Catholic, as developed and expressed in our own thirty-nine articles. In dubious points—viz., all subordinate verities, or points of pious opinion contained in the said articles—l am bound in my own sense, with a modest deference ter the received interpretation and usage of my own branch of the church. In all points I strive to cultivate charity—thinking the best, and hoping the best, of all who profess and call themselves Christians, and who shew, by the meekness of their tempers, and the holiness of their lives, that they have the spirit of Christ. And I do, from the bottom of my heart, deprecate the disposition to sow and foster dis sention in this particular church, by setting up new tests of doctrine, and affixing party names and distinctions; whether with the intention, or as tending to the effect, of driving members out of her communion to Rome, on one hand, or to Geneva on the either. To sum up all in one word—my motto is, in necessariisunitas—in dubiis Fiber tar—in omnibus caritas."—Church Intelligencer. HINTS. ON HEALTH.—" A man," says Sir William Temple, " has but these four things to choose out of—to exercise daily, to be very temperate. to take physic, or to be sick." We may venture to assert, with a much later writer, that the principal secrets of health are early rising, exercise, personal cleanliness, and leaving the table unop pressed.—When a family rises early in the morning, con clude the house to be well governed, and the inmates in dustrious and healthy.—With respect to• exercise, there is a simple and benevolent law of nature—" Earn that you may enjoy." In other words, secure a good digestion, by exercise.—As much, perhaps, may be said concerning ab lution, as exerciee. " Dispel the ill- humors from the pores." Cleanliness is a virtue, though not the first in rank, one of the first, at least, in necessity.—On the sub ject of temperance, that sturdy moralist, Johnson, speak ing of a book in which it was recommended, observed, " Such a book should come out every 30 years, dressed in the mode of the times." " He that wculd eat much," says the proverb, " must eat little." Let us not, how ever, confound temperance with starvation—on the con trary, it is strictly moderation. We may be intemperately abstemious, as wellas intemperately luxurious. From all that has been said and written on the subject—from the experience of every are and every clime, we may conclude, that they are the most healthy, who have nature for their cook—hunger for their caterer : who have no doctor but the sun and fresh air—and no other physic than tem perance and exercise." Tug SINGING Motisit.--This heading, strangeas it ap pears, is not a fiction, as the incredulous may ascertain to their complete satisfaction by a visit. We give the fol lowing account, furnished us by an intelligent corres pondent :—I have much pleasure in endeavouring to give you some account of a musical phenomenon whieh.l have just beheld and heard. I , will do so in as lucid a.manner as lam able. This wondenis in the shape of a " singing mouse!" Let it not mise the smile of incredulity, for sing it does in verity. The little creature is the common house mouse, of the masculine gender. When II heard him he was in full song—having all the notes of a full gown canary. The imitation in the sostenuto passages and cadences of that bird was perfect. I feel assured that no deception was practised, for by the aid a. ens , - asf.st winch I purposely borrowed, 1 could observe the tremulousness of the throat ; and I asked the proprie tor to retire from the room for a moment, which he did, in. order that I might co nv i nce m y se lf th a t 1 was . no t being made the dupe of ventriloquism. I then placed my ear close to him, and the effect was still the-same. No human being could make- his piano passages. One circumstance places this beyond doubt. For sometimes parties have to wait a considerable time before he will pipe. An instance of this kind' happened recently at the Palace, where he was taken for the little Prince of Wales and , the Princess to hear him. But I was informed that he fully made up for this silence by afterwards singing more lustily than he ever did before. He requires- to be attentively observed, and by so doing you catch his variety. When quite still his notes are surpassingly dis tinct, and have all that peculiarity of the notes-of the canary when he is singing himself to sleep. While he was in motion, I tried the effect of sound upon him by viFrating a tuning-fork upon the table. This, although repeated several times, neither deterred him from singing, nor in the slightest degree alarmed him. If 1 may hazard a conjecture, his pitch is more than an octave above that of the bird he imitates. It is very difficult to guess how this faculty got into him ; for supposing that he listened to the canary from his hiding-place, the larynx is not formed for such a purpose. However. I must leave the matter to physiologists and modern Danes Barringtons, simply contenting myself with silent wonder, now and then exclaiming " prodigious I"—Globe. "MAKING A House."—To a person unacquainted with, the technicalities of these things, the " making a House" is a riddle. Some people suppose that the whole 658 members post down at four o'clock, in order to dis charge their duty to their constituents, regardless of all the other attractions to pleasure which their wealth and leisure afford them. Not so, however, in fact. On the contrary, there is often the greatest difficulty in getting together the number (40) that are necessary in order to make a House. Indeed there are particular members of the Government and Opposition whose especial duty it is to collect the members on particular occasions, and bring them up to their duty. Thee gentlemen are called " whippers-in," and a most unruly pack it sometimes is that they have to keep in order. The present whippers-in for the Government are Sir Thomas Freemantle and Mr. Manners Sutton. The former is a most remarkable spe cimen of jthe genus. Small in stature, quick in motion, and keen in perception, he seems cut out by nature for the task. He appears deeply sensible of its importance. Possibly he reasons thus :—The public business cannot go on without a House of Commons; the House of Com mons cannot go on without forty members ; the duty of providing these forty members rests with me ; ergo, it depends on me whether the business of this great empire shall be carried on or not. In accordance with this esti mate of his important functions, Sir Thomas is to be seen, early and late, watchin g hi s flock—now viewing them as a whole from one of the galleries —now peeping from be hind a pillar, cat-like, lest they should get away unper ceived. If a young and pleasure-loving member, one of 'the white waistcoat school, should exhibit a restlessness in his seat, symtomatic of opera or soiree dasanle, this " whipper-in" par exeellence is down upon him in an in stant, reminding him that the government counted on his presence in keeping the house together. And so the poor young man is kept for another weary hour from his lady love, until some heavy country member returns from his dinner and claret, who fills up the space which he has oc cupied, and so seta him at liberty. It would be scarcely too much to affirm that the whippers-in know every mem ber's favourite haunt, so that he can be " whipped-up" at a quarter of an hour's notice, should a premature division be threatened. It is then, indeed, that Sir Thomas Fre mantle is seen in his absolute glory. With the eye of a general he can reckon the number of his troops at a glance. If they are enough, well and good : the satisfied secretary takes his seat by the premier, thinking, " Come what may, we, at least, are prepared for the worst." But, should it be otherwise, then is he to be seen in full blown activity, with a forty-ferret frown of vision, skipping about the house, up the stairs, down the lobbies, scouring the libraries, dodging this runaway, peremptorily holding the button of that, whispering, entreating—no sheep dog could be more watchful, more determined, more unrelent ing. This is the active life of the whipper-in. His lei sure hours are spent in counting the honse for amuse ment. A whipper-in seldom addresses the house. Counting, not talking, is his vocation, and when he does talk, It is usually in defence of his counting. Thus it was that Sir Thomas spoke lately. His reason was plain why there was not a house. He only whips-in, he says, for his own people—let the opposition keep their own hunts man. Now, they did not expect government business on Tuesday ; but Lord John Russell had given notice of an important motion. Therefore, says Sir Thomas, whip in for yourselves, ye opposition. I had enough to do with these refractory young bloods on the tory side. March you your men through Coventry. lam not to make a rod for my own back. When I was in opposit!on. I used to whip up my own people ; do you likewise ! It is not to he expected of me that I should discharge the functions at once of her Majesty's government and her Majesty's opposition. The truth is, Lord John Russell wanted an ex use for shirking his motion. of Sir Thomas Fremantle's high F e n e limits of 1 duty to gain his end.—Britannia SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

LEGER PROPHECIES In connexion with the above race, we think that some of our readers will thank us for letting them know what the different sporting journals predicted. VATES, of the Era, (a capital sporting paper, and dis tinguished also for the ability and impartiality of its poli tical and literary articles,) gave it as his opinion that Cot heratone would be the first, with Nutwith and Prize fighter second and third. Jo DEX, of the Morning Post, declares against Cother stone, on the ground " that the same horse can never win, and will never win, Derby and St. Leger." He says also, that Murat is " quite fit and ready to start at a moment's notice, to the event of any accident happening to Cothersione ;" and winds up with declaring that " Prizefighter and Nutwith are two pretty good horses ; where one is, the other will most likely be, although confess I fancy the former, if the race be run from end to end." One correspondent of the Sporting Magazine says, " To judge from public running, I leave the race in the hands of Cotherstone, Murat, and Mania (the Bessy Bedlam filly.) Nutwith undoubtedly will run well, and the Silkworm filly 'will be up at the finish." Another writer in the same magazine thinks that Murat " will go to Doncaster, and being a slow, honest animal, will, by persevering to the end, come in about second, though he can have no pretensions to beat Cotherstone." Of Mania his opinion is, that she is " a good mare, possessed of both speed and stoutness, as her running at Goodwood shows. I should be sorry to stand heavily against her for the great race." He winds up, decisively, by saying. that there can be only one opinion—" viz., that the spell cast over this race since Champion's year will at last be dissolved, and Cotherstone win the St. Leger as easily as he did the Derby." Bell's Life declares, that " barring ugly accidents fighter is Scott's all to NNin, but I think they'll win with him if they can, and not wAh Cotherston' e Sept. 1_.9L.12..,,W, SECOND EDITY Standard-office, Three o'clock COTTON MARKET —Toll Day A very f - ai - r - a - nd - claY aid also an inquiry from speculators• The sales may mated at 3000 bales, at full market prices. satisfactory trade demanu to. +O, oivranar tis l LIVERPOOL i l ii jawy N grcd ' ereuF E rhatdipter ß roao P m o c2: o lae L sst 8:C, coastwise and R RI --- N n.
