There was every reason which a well inforined prudence could dictate, oe a just appreciation of British •:•glory inspire, for not doing any such thing.

It has been persevered in (rom a kind of fret ful positiveness—a paltry irritation of wounded vanity, which would not submit to theconfession of having made a great mistake. It is still 'continued in theory when •' the utter failure of the whole business is manifest to al) the World. The c o nd uc t o f t h e B r i t i s h govern ment has , • • mantfestly been ignorant in its commencement, feeble in its continuance, unsuccessful, and even ridiculous, in its conclusion; but still the vain and petulant Minister is i•:n o t satisfied 'Without persisting, 'in the face of common sense, that he liar not been in the wrong. Supposing it were an, advantage to the British govern : ment that liberalism should obtain an actual and univer sal supremacy in Spain, (but that advantage we certainly cannot pereeive,) a moderately just understanding of the actual condition of that kingdom won't! . have satisfied that this could only.he accomplished by the most powerful aid which Great. Britain and France in unison could supply. If the minister believed' that' from • the state of Spain tt required no more than a slight phy sical alit, combined with the moral force of British ,Operatinn, to establish liberalism generally in that king _dont, such a belief could only have arisen from the most -lamentable ignorance of the real state of the Peninsula. --his' true that this principlethis root - of political un easiness—had struck deep in some parts of the kingdom,. and - the agitation which it so surely produces was visible over.a large portion of the territories of Spain'and But the agitation was only on the surface. Li ,:bcralism had no more sunk into the heart of the na =—tiOn at large than radicalism had into the heart of the . -British nation. The same minister who accounted that ,the representation of Hants was for ever his,. because' he ?possessed n un , the. fever of the reform hill excite .imagined also that, because there was much noise of liberalism all over Spain, he had but to declare in fa vour of it to cause it to he permanently triumphant.

His friend Mendizabal and himself are about upon a level. It behoves the representatives of the people of'-Eng land to interfere and put an end to policy which, if not absolutely unprincipled, is bey'ond 'all question wretch ,edly foolish. Experience has proved that. The blaster of General Evans, or the foppish pedantry of his backer, Lord Palmerston, cannot change the fact. The British, - .. tender the - leadership of Evans, have inglOriously re - ttirOed from Sp;in. They .went to overthrow Don Car 'os. Don Carlos is not overthrown; and they are prowl , ing in ragged regimentals about our streets: ' They and their objects have been defeated ;—it is time that Lord Palmersion;and the bad policy which led to this die trace, should be defeated too. - LIVERPOOL MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. LECTURES ON GEOLOGY.. On Wedneiday evening Dr. Scouter continued. The unstratified or igneous'rocks are those which hive been erupted from the lower recesses of the earth in a state of fusion, andeaused the disiurbances - in the stratified rocks. They are • of a chemical nature, and•consist of variously formed crystals. ' The greater portion of the surface of the' globe is covered with stratified rocks,' and aCeording, to a calculation they do not oc • •scupy fit housandth part•of the British Isles.. There is a,very important circumstance to he remembered in ascertaining the • ' sietativ:e antiquity" of the fire produced rocks. Our mode of pro ,•ceeding is different to that which we adopt with respect to the ligneous rocks. • - For instance, the lowest of the igneous rocks may'be The newest; and the uppermost the oldest in point of -formation, which is entirely different to the case of the aqueous rocks.' The question is, therefore. how can we ascertain the re lative age of the igneous rocks. ft is quite certaM that we can not determine it by this order of superposition, but there are other means by!which we can do it. Being all rui ks of volcanic trrigin, the originally existed in a perfectly liquid state, and raised up through the stratified rocks, as well as into their tis 'sures. In this Manner We • Can determine their page since no thiug can be more clear than the rocks in which the fissures are op.' Every subs e qu en t disturbance is sheens by which the • • later rocks cut those jirevionsi+ formed, fur the vein cut thtough : must he older than that which cuts it. There is another Mode s of ascertaining the age of igneous reeks. 'For insta nee, suppr,se a portion' of lava to be poured out fi-om Vesuvius and teach the sea, it would lid immediately cooed and would form a stratum. , SuPposie this stratum to be cut through by a vein, and this vein ''to be filled with lava,"we have thus undoubted evidenced two • eruptions of the volcano. Near Obah, the coast of Scotland,' • :we-have what is called the old red sandstone which Is met with, every where under the coal forthation. This stone consists of, rolled fragments of, old rocks. 'N ear Ohara the fragments of this old led sand stone consists are TragMents of basalt. In this case the'lfasaltie Matter is cult through by fire-produced veins. Here we have evidence of two productions of rock. lii Italy. there are, many beautiful inst a nces of thesame kind, • Mr. • I.*ell - trtention4 iiista.n.ces of many - shells . having.been embedded in lava: ' - 'l'he ihteriectingreck must always be newer than the vein it cuts through. The chalk of Irelaud is every. where in • terseeted' by trap veins. There is a third characteristic by •41lich' 'we' can . determine the age of the tire produced rocks. Aliblit'3ot6 41) years ago the igneous origin of basalt and granite' • win a•rtnatter of dispute until the discovery of rocks in Seotliend • "101 Dr. 'Hutton, in which fragments of the strata intersected,by • ' the granite were' femur imbedded in it, furnishing abundant ''''koofs that they had been fire produced. In the county. of An trim; in Ireland, the white chalk is intersected with basalt, in 'which very large fragments of the chalk occur. "'That these igneous rocks have been produced by violence 'we " lieVe abundant proofs in the faults which they have produced in (Re iitratified riiCkir. They have originally been in a high state : 'of heat, and when they have come into contact with the strati 'fied nicks they have melted them and totally changed their Otemical nature. . Ceinmon clay slate has been changed into a chrystalized hornblende schist by this means. Every one is aware of the eiceedihe,ly friable nature of the English Chalk. Whet the chalk of Ireland is touch harder, in consequence of its coritikt;ily to the ipeous reeks; and the lecturer showed some ' • retnarkablespecimens of th e same c h a lk roc k , i n wh i c h that ' Was . dear the basalt - had been changed into marble, whilst that more distant still existed as chalk. We ha.Ve,a very remarkable instance of this in the north of England, known under the name of the Cleveland dyke, which is a hinge veto of igneous matter running.through the rocks for many miles. No ' thing can. be muse clear than tbat this rock was produced in a 'state of heat, In running through the mountain lime stone it " hae'changed it info marble. The clay slate it has changed into flinty slate, and jasper and coal iuto coke, which nothing but betit'would'produCe. The same occurs in the instance of the , columnar ataltu'acite in 'the neighbourhood of Glasgow, which baibeentheresult of the - heat of the trap. .The reason why an ' thraCite' 14 so hard cOMpared with coke ,is, because it was formed under much greater pres s ure than that of the.almes ' pheriti air. • Tliei;e changes are nut confined to any one rock, f. o• they occur wherever. the igneous rocks cut ,through any • strAtih6rl roeks.' The 'old • red seta] stone: basin this manner 'been coaVertedinto quartz rock. The igneoui rocks present a number of points of difference. • Poi instance, we hod cases which at first appear a little per plexing, and at one time gave rise to an almost interminable discussion, natnely : horizontal strata, which appeared to be •• striatified• taers. It is obvious, however, that molten matter may cut the superincumbent strata in any given direction; also • 'this was ascertained to lie the case with respect to these hurl ' -- inntal veins. 'Another fact to be attended to is, that these up itea4ingi of ignemis rock are now taking place. Graham's • Island Inuit have been occasioned by molten matter flowing, through fissures or rents to. the surface o f th e sea : It i s. not long since an eruption of Mount Hecla covered a sur face of five 'hundred miles with the lava which it vomited forth: Granite is often the newest rock we meet with, Lias is 'a very new rock, yet the granite has overflown the lies, there fore there is no doubt that it is a newer lock. , In the Isle of it Skye there is a rock called' the lias, of precisely the s t une age as the • liaS" of' England. - It contains a great number of fossil shells. • But'the lias•shell is so soft near the shore that it cruet= -" 'bles to piecess - whed touched ; in consequence of which, the shells ' if contains cannot be preserved. A quarter of a mile inland the li'as becomes a little herder and the shells, more indistinct. A further Miami we find the lies in another fortn, and all trace of the shells it coptained disappears., Proceeding a little fur ' 'tier still, the Very same lias rock assumes the form of a white ' ntarble - ; What is the reason of these numerous changes? In immediate crintaCt with this rock, there is syenite ot granite which has' been in a molten or liqeiri state, and has overflowed the 'strata, and thus produced all these effects. It will be said, how can heat change limestone into marble—the mere applica -' thin of heat would, by releasing the carbonic acid, convert it into lilt - et' This argument was formerly thought irresistible. - But Hutton said, " True, when you 'appli heat to limestime in the' open air, you liberate the carbOnic acid and.produce lithe; " butt we, on the other hand maintain, that the 'effect of heat is • ant to discharge the Carbonic acid, but to Convert' tn . e limestone into marble. -- The ordinary atmospheric pressure is certainly not sufficient to retain the 'carbonic acid; but it' we epply an • enormous pressure, the carb on i c ac id w ill remain without hying ' driven off, and the whele will be melted and converted into marble." Now, the pressure is the Presstfre or the ocean; Sup o pose the limestone to be subje'tned lii the action of heat under 5,000 feet of water, the carhonic scud insurli a case would re attain fixed. Sir .1 Hall put some pieces of liarestoue into a gun • barrel. He found that he entail convert these limestones into marble in the same way in which it is done in nature. This shows how much geology gains by the application of chemical analysis. Dr. Fararliy proved many years agh that carbonic acid can be reduced to a liquid state like water under a very: moderate pressure; add be kept in that State in' glass vessels uti - der a pressure equal to six times that dthe atmosphere., Now. ••aupposing the depth of the sea to be hal4 mile, we have ,here .. sr ofwer enough to weren't the carbonic actd from escaping. Si true is this, that subsequently Dr. Faraday,discOvered that we , 'can convert carbonic acid not only ititoa liquid like water, but also into a solid like ice: The igneous rocks, as we:have pre viously stated, ate nit stratified. It follows, that if gianite can elevate Stratified narks, when it is in a state of fusion, that other . Melted katter may - likewise elevate it. This has very often ba'ppened, and is very iinportaiit to be remembered in all our theories respecting the elevation of mountains. The)owerrockl ar.i. never stratified. but always igneous; forming bases on which tii`sf other rocks repose. ; '',`W'e'sball neetpreceed to another part ofour subject. Having 1 1 0,W):(1#0uViAte* the igneous rucks have been produced •-; ,T o, 4 1 11 i.. 49p 1,4 e their mineral characters. Now ♦ • 2 :•:: .what is- the reason of Aare - I'6)6e 'oriiiCkFiihich 'are said to Piave one common ? In the first place we must mention that the unstrai died rocks preSent• oifferences .froni the follow tug,circutustances. In the first • place they differ in their ori ginal compositiou. The granite is composed of quartz. felspar, and mica —the•syenite of quartz, 'felspar, and hornblende. ' the. whole differ ence b e i ng t h at roue contains hornblen d e and the other mica. This difference is very unimportant in a geologi cal point. of view. Sometimes when 'the - granite occars in Veins it forms a very b eau tif u l su b stance ca ll e d grap hi c g ran i te , because it appears to be inscribed with a number of Hebrew aud Arabic characters. In the granite, syenite, and other tucks of that class, silica predominates, whilst in the trap rocks silica is very rare. In the trap rocks we find magnesia and iron to predominate. This is a very important 'circitintan - ce •to re nem tier, as it leads to a very important point •of theory, which, however is not universally received. We have two kinds of erupted rocks dependent upon differences of original deposi tion. If we look where a vein cuts through clay slate, we find where trap cuts through it, that it is changed in hardness. If ''we look at gneiss, we find a regular slaty structure. We see when, granite approaches the rock gneiss, it converts it into granite. When it approaches a clay slate it converts it into a Suhstance very ranch like trap. The igneous rocks are merely .the lower stratified rocks changed in their chemical hatme by fire. This monition has the sanction,of many eminent na:nes iu . science. ~enl There is one very important fact which goes very far to confirm this view. Certain silicions shales, as they are called, resemble so much the s tructu re o f t ra p, that it_ was a subject of discussion with geologists whether they were shalesair trap •rocks. Here,. ther - eflre, we have a perfect ides-• trationof the origin of our trap rocks and poyphyries. froin the fusion of slate rocks, a nd of the granites from the fusion of, tweissand mica schist. Tbis'subject naturalfyappertains to che mistry, and is subject every, day to new modifications, as.our kniiiiiedge of Mitieraliery advances. It is obvious that all the ignehui" roCki have not cooled with equal. rapidity. Hence the quickness and slowness of cooling has excited . a very iitriortant influence upon the appearance of the igneous rinks. Of this we have very beautiful instanees in the minerals pyriscene and hornblende, as we have tviticed in a previous - lecture. If a rock cools With great rapidity, it will form an obstdium or pitch Wine: Instances' of these rocks occur in Warwickshire, end their origin is readily. traced to.the shove causes. Dr. 111•Cullock quotes a case in which there is a - vein of trip, seven feet in thickness, which ramifies into lery small branches. The terminating portions are iftiumL to: be composed of pitch stone, whilst the other. portionsare of trap rock. This shows the influence'of cooling. If gneiss rock lie ex ,posed to verv.simv cnoling, under a severe.pressure, it forMs a flue and close granite rock ; ifexposed to little pressure it will forth a very porouS stone; and if cooled very rapidly indeed, .under ;no pressure, it forms a pumice stone. LECTURES BY DR. EPPS, ON MURIATIC ACID GAS. ' ( From the Liverpool Journal.) Dr. Epps delivered a lecture on Frideif evening at the Music • Hall, on •• Muriatic Acid Gas—the White Vapour." The lecture-was well attended, there being, we should think, at leapt three hundred persons present. As it lasted upwards of an hour and a•half,. and was delivered with great rapidity, it is, of course, impossible for us to give anything like a verha-' tim report of it. The principal object of the lecturer seemed to be to . amuse his audience, and lir •ridicule'the evidence for the crown on the late indictment, and, to a certainty; he fully suc ceeded iu exciting laughter. Our limits entirely preclude our giving the ornamental parts of 'his discOurse, but we shall en deavour to condense such substantial matter as it contained. • The lectifrer said they had met for the purpose of having their attention drawn to a sulkier:lA great interest-the great subject which now occupied public attention, and which was continually pas - sing, under their very noses. Wherever they went they met Willi this white gas. It' was' presented to them so - constantly that there was no subject they were so well acquainted with. or in whiCh they took so deep an interest. There was no question 'as Or the affecting - noses, fire irons, and beautiful brass Olates. The lecturer here ironically recounted the noxious effects attri buted to it on a late occasion. -But he scarcely knew any sub stance which could produce such wonderful effects—it was a monstrosity unknown to nature—he never heard ill such a mom- strOus beast as this gas. These alkali manufacturers must be extraordinary'people, and partake themselves of the monstrous and deadly nature of - what they produCed. lie hoped they . would think him justified in enquiring la;riv far this gas was deadly, and how far those who said so were misled by ignorance and prejudice. Some of the Most disgusting trash had been uttered on the subject that ever was delivered in a court of law. Ile would now investigate the nature of the gas, and then enter into the consideration of the nature of oilier gases, and then strove them that all contributed to certain effects, and that no one gas was ever created which could produce the effects attii buted to this. First, with respect to the importance of the ma• .nufacture. The lecturer here repeated a conversation he had 'in ournibuS with some Ltindon soap-boilers, and the retnatks .made by one of them. anticipating an improvement in their trade from the destruction of that of Liverpool by these indict. inents. People at a distance looked' with intense Interest tuthe decision of such a question in. 'the county of Dalton ; they ex pected that the countrymen of that illestrious chemist wound not be influenced by mete prejudice, but would go forth in the strength of science, and that nobleness of heart which resulted 'from it, unbiassed by the noses, or smell, or taste, or notions it other people. The process was • important in a commercial point of view. The Lade since its invention had assumed quite a different character. The importation of palm on from a few 1- tons had reached 1000 tens; and within the last few weeks Isonic persons had realized from £8 ORO to EWA° . each (rota . their purchase of that commodity. They might look to a pro gressive augmentation of the soap trade, and, if not interrupted, the community would go on increasing in health and wealth. The amount of capital employed was very great. He had heard it-on good authority-stated at .E 160.000, even - inthe- mere• pro , ductioa of the alkali. Then there was the multitude of persons • employed in making the sulphuric acid, and providing the std. phur and nitre. Eery article connected with the trade had augmented in demand. Formerly kelp was used for making seep, containing 4 per cent. of alkali, and its value was or is (we were not sure which) £l5 a ton. Belida contained 18 per cent., and sold for £3l per ton. But the persons who were about to•he driven away, to take their resting 'dace in some other land, whence they might send us the articte which we now ex port, produ c ed whit eontaitied 41) to 50'per cent. of pure alkali —which they sold at £ls—eheaper than the barida. They did .• this by Means of the chimneyS, which sent out white vapour, and this was the means by which 'Liverobid was _prosperous as re gards the soap trade. Let this go on.. Common sense would tell them people would come la buy the article produced. more wages would be paid, more : money spent in the localite,,even St. Martin's market be tilled. The lecturer here adverted to souse of the evidence relating to the condition of this market. There . was no question the trade was a source.of great revenue, and they might naturally expect some inconveniences. The people near would enjoy Much better - health with well-filled pockets and the " white vapour," than if - without the as With empty packets.. The lecturer here described the augmentation of the imports of : palm oil, expatiated trit the miseries of the •slave. trade, the threatened ruin to Liverpool by its . abolition, and the benefit to be - conferred - on . the West coast of 'Africa by: introducing commerce, and wills it knowledge anti liberty. • Ile' hoped the manufacture would extend,. more- alkali would • be made, mere palm oil would be imported,•and commerce extend fuither along that Coast. doubt people did not like to be made to cough. They said "get away ,' you nasty I fellow." But it did not f o ll o w th at - that Was the language of ,truth. Snuff irritated the nose when it was first taken. .and cigars : when smoked for the first time made people sick, but that was no reason why the tobacieinists should be indicted. He would now enquire what was the nature of the gas so Vividly described : by the Welsh woman when she espied it and cried " John, the vitriol's coming !" and John. threw over the meat the Magical cloth which the gas could not penetrate. Ile then described the composition of touristic gas, resulting from the action Of sulphuric acidon salt. ' He' t rusted to be able to show that it did• not eessess the deleterious qualities represented. It - was colourless, but became coloured from two causes; the con tact of watery or of kinunciniacal vaphurs. Mr. Rogerson had stated that, tidied with atinospherieair in the proportion of Ito 1,500, it ceased to be noxious to plants or animals. He was obliged to him for the experiment.* It established the fact of the precise degree of its deleteriousness. The question was, Was the quantity disengaged likely to be less or more diluted ? He believed it was nearer 1 in 50(X). One witoess•said that if twenty tons a day were decomposed it would be sufficient to de stroy all Liverpool. The fact is that one manufacturer alone decomposes forty tons a day, and here we are! These were most extraordina y statements for men to make, and to pledge their reputation on in a court of justice. 'Calculation' would show that the gas was diluted six times below the point at which it is declared to be harritless. He had no hesitation in saying ' that the gas. was a great blessing in freeing the atmosphere - from ether more noxious gasses, and he had no doubt it would he found, and the truth of his surmise - bight easily be - proved, that the rate of mortality had actually decreased in the n'eigh bourhood since the establishment of the works. The lecturer again ridiculed the statements relative to the effect of the gas on iron and:brass works. He would show that other gases . did so more effectually, and it was a great shame to lay all the blame on the poor muriatic gas. Ile would go as far as he could to night', and tit.lnurrow he would show them gases disengaged odious enough to drive them all out of the room. The lecturer here expati-ited on the deadly and offensive propeitieS of im pure :demoniacal gas, 'and much amused the audience by de scribing their mutual union, and tbe'innocent result. He then pntfiee grain's' of'salt in a glass, and poured on it a little muri atic acid, and, placing it trader a bell-shaped cover; along with a 'vessel of ammonia, showed the twice, sion of the colourless . gas info white vapour. The experiment was made with all due caution, but the audience was much amused by two or three coughs, which the lecturer could not suppress. - This was that. harmless- substance, the muriate of ammonia—this was the ". white gas." The lateness of the hour and our 'restricted limbs (coupe{ us, to break off our report very abruptly. Dr. Epps proceeded to describe anti to illustrate by experiment the production and deleterious effects of .1 he carbonic •acid gas, of which he 'aid twenty tons. Were daily sent out from the lime kilns, and which, from .its ',Weight, he contended, was more likely to do mischief than the comparativeiy light annriatic gas; of the sulphuretted hythogen from the gas works; tit the car buretter' hydrogen and carbonic. acid daiiy' vomited from the chimneys of a hundred and fifty forges and foundries. All these, lie said, were more or less deleterious; .but the muriatie acid least of all, as neutralizing and combiniug with some oft he must offensive. With reference to the corrosion) of metals, he produced a number or pieces of polished copper and iron, and gilt metal, to show, in connadiction to the state ments made at the late trial, that metals exposed to 'Ol - hydrogen o r .trinionical gas were corroded more in' a few seconds than by as many minutes' exposure to muria tic gas. It was impossible for the air of a great colninercial town to be so pure as, in the country. Tiverton, for iostauce, like. Bromp too, had ceased to be iu t l►e c ountry. The townhad grown up to it, and all the impure air .of the town blew into it, but the alkali works.were not paiticularly to blame. We must take the advantages of such a charge with the disadvantages: The burners must works,the am monia manufacture •renniv . e, the ;OA ers, on the - same priocipte, that sent away., the soap-boilers. Liverpool would, no doubt,_ ge generally improved. Its fetid sewers wraild be meander) tog tiTnolo, beautiful trees and luxuriant grass wou!d, grow in its streets, It might aspire to become a fashiourride watering Ware, with tine country air. The lecturer very worh, ridiculed the evidenee of one w itness, • who stated the guns, horrid as Miltoo described Ilie.breatls of Satan, nipped up his plants. and not the. north-west wind; of Soother who said 'that his horse was effected with a cough tu passing Mr. M us :pratt's- chiinney ; 'of bull her who said the gas pindured its effect at a diStaneerif two miles ; and Of the pawitbreker who ettribrited to it the erects of sulphuretted hydrogen. Next night he could' mine down with a sledge haininer of proof. He t would show, uy experiment and calculation the precise amriunt a nd effect of the gas sent into the air. The people of Liverpool, driving in from their eimntry houses and smelling the gas, were nevertheless very willing to pocket the miroey which tesulted from the trade =there - was no corrosion cif the gold. Much of the evidence from Everton origiiiated with gardeners who wanted their rents 'reduced. and householders who wanted the satne, and of course they' discovred that the place was unhealthy. The lecturer concluded by severely ceirsering, the corporation of Liverpool for fendingtheir whole weight to crush individuals wit houtbeing prepared•to prove their case—without having competent.che mists, eminent professors, men like Dr. Dalton, whom they easily might have had, to prove the precise composition of, the atmosphere, It was a disgrace for the corporation of•Liverpoul to o into . a court ..of kiw without sack pusi . lists proof, 1 - 14 ap THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. pealed to the atulilo'rys tint •16 banish frOiri'Ll‘ierpoorits chernis's and productive maunfacturers.

' The lecturer amused the audience very much, and their ap probation was loudly and frequently expressed, especially at different satirical sallies, which- we are compelled to omit. We have endeavoured to give a faithful account m the real suti stance of the lecture, and regret that we are. utterly unable to find time or room to express' our own Opinion on Wand the general subject. * There seems • to be some misapprehension relative to the opinions expressed by Mr. Rogerson. In the London Medical Gazette, Vol, 10, page-352. we li n t the following' statetl as the result of his experiments :—" These experiments prove that muriatie acid gas, and common air mixed tm , ethei '•are des tructive to animal life, in proportion to the quantilv of touriatic acid gas there existing." * * •* * " Itiough it ceases to kill (at least within any reasonably short space of time) when mixed With 1500 parts of common *air, yet it does Mita:ease to be injurious to health." • • (From the Albion.) The following is an not line of the second lecture, which he delivered on Saturday evening : Orlate years. encouraged by the facilities offered by the port, a Glass Company has been established in the town, the import ance of which may he appreciated when it is stated, that the profits amount to sixteen per cent. Nomv, homi (lees this arise? By the employment of the•alkali manufaet red - at the chemical works in this town, which enables you to effect the fusion of the silicious matters of which glass is made with much more celerity. and cheapness than by the emplos went of the ctiarse material formerly use), beside the production of abetter article. Let us Jock a titt.e farther still at the importance of the alkali trade as a means of furnishing employment to men and engaging a large amount of capital in its pursuit. We kcow, that common salt is the material from which the alkali is made. Now, only con sider the vast number of individuals as well as the amount of capital employed in the manufacture of this salt andits trans, port to Liverpool. Consider the number of colliers employed raising coals for the production of the salt as well as for the manufacture of time alkali itself. Considering all these:things in .addition to what has been previously added, it becomes a inatter of the highest importance that you should weigh well what you are about to do before you undertake the destruction of so valuable a trade: For, as to getting rid of the umrialic acid by any other means than the 'present there is little prpba bilit y, seeing that the innumerable schemes for that purpose have all signally failed when submitted . to the criterion of prac tice. This muriatic acid gas is not the deleterious agent which it is said to be in the quantity in which . it is given out from the chimneys. In order to prove this we !mist first ascertain the quantity of muriatic acid .gas which is given out, and then the quantity of air through which the gas diffuses itself. If you take a ton or 2,210 lbs of salt and decompose it (hiring the day ortwelve•hoors, we 'find, that 18611 en are decomposed per hour or 31bs. per minute. Our next step will be to consider, hew many . grains !here . are of ' muriatic acid this salt, because common salt is composed (to adapt the former nomenclature) of muriatic acid and soda. Now, 31bs. of" Salt. contain 21,1100 grains, of which 12,600 are :muriatic acid and the remainder soda. In order to asset taro the space which this gas occupies, we'have to find hew many cubic inches will'be filled by 'a 'grain, We can tell this by weighing a given volume-of this gas in a elaas vessel, and we find, that 100 cubic inches weigh 39 grains. 'Well; 12.600 grains id' mitt-lain: acid gas will prodoce cuhic.inches•or 18 cubic feet perminute; and supposing a ma nufacturer to decompose 12 tons per day, we shall have 221 cobiC feetiof muriatic acid given out from it per Minute. Such, then,. is the amount of gas given out. One gentleman stated, at Lancaster, however. he may. now qualify it, that, if there 'were 2(1 tons of salt decomposed - , the whole atmosphere of Li verpool would b e poisoned. 'Now,- let us test the correctness of this statement. Mr. Rogerson, who was brought farmyard by' the Corporation of Liverpool as their great gun, says, that one part of 'muriatic acid gas diffusedihrough•l3oo of atmospheric. air would be perfectly harmless, • We have to see, whether the quantity Of muriatic acid gaS which is liberated front the chim ney is diffused ju this harmless ratio through the atmosphere. Seme persons have sworn, that they can smell the gas at the distance of 11 miles from the works: now, we will confine the gas to the space of two acres and suppose that it is' prevented from spreading itself to a greater distance. 'l'wo acres, in this part of this country, are equal to 10,000 square yards or 90,000 square feet. • We will take the height of - the highest chimneo in Liverpool, for they are going to war with it, which is 230 feet high. By multiplying the superficial area will this height we get 20,7ty) cubic - feet of atmospheric air as' the cinantity throngh which these 221 cubic feet of muriatic acid gas are spread tint.' Froin these data we see, that the touristic acid gas is diffosed through the atineshere in the ratio only of oue - in ninety-two' thousand four hundred and eieven,whilst the air would he perfectl y harmless in time propel lion of one to one thousand five hundred.' Now, how is it possible that ''sach an exceedingly minute pro portion of muriatic acid can be injurious to health? It is impos sible. Yes t but the gentlemen will say, time gas is not equ a lly 'diffused. Well, let examine this. We have given them the tar/ran:aye of supposing • that it is equally diffused; let us con sider the question in the opposite peim ni view. Some perseni have' tated,. that they felt the gas at 11 miles distance. altheugh, alarmed at prt tying to', much, this was afterwards qualified into half-a-mile. Supposing this statement to be lie collect, the case of the terpriration is stilt worse;' fit we have the snubs contents of half -a-mile for the diffusion of the gas, instead of those of Iwo acres. All gases have a tendency to diffuse themselves equally. 'This is proved by the constitution of the attnosphere itseit'Swhieh is c imposed of nitrogen, oxygen and • carbonic acid, mixed in certain definite proportions. Although the atmospheric air has beeh analyzed by the most scientific men at all eleVations and in yam iouseonto ries, its compositian has been found to be invariably the same, the most: delicate experiment failing to determine any distinguishable differenee. If there was a tendency in gases me-. chemically mixed its separate, we should final the components of • the. atmospheric air existing in strata according to their relative specific gravities, which is not the case. Why should muriatic acid he an-exception to this gaseous law ; Why-should it not be equally diffused throughout the atmosphere as well as the other rarlea? If cannot be because it is heavier than atmospheric air, - - as carbonic acid, the heaviest of kuow'n gases, is found in the highest iegions yet visited by mortal man. • We shall now examine another charge made against muriatic acid, namely, that it turns - vegetable colours red, and is • there fore, productive iif setrous injury.to the attire• of individuals. This is the property rif all acids, therefore the question is, whe ther the ill effects described arise from the action of mutiatic acid : for it must nut be supposed, that because narriatic acid is the only gas that is seen, that it is therefore, the only acid which exists the' atmosphere; 'and where 'there are other agents capable of producing the like effects, it would tie exceedingly erroneous to ascribe them all to the particular iofluence of ! .'muriatic acid. The same obser va ti on s w ill a pply with equal force to the tarnishing of metals. • Every one knows what iron rust or oxide - of iron is, but it is not generally known, that ita formation is materially expedited by the influence of carbonic acid. Carboni, acid esercises a partioniaily powerful influence upon lead,' Whieh causes water kept in cisterns of lhat material 10 be very often impregnated with a very deadly compound, called Carlionate of lead. It is this Carbonate, or rust of lead, which gives painter's what is• called the painter's doilies and occasions them severe illness. Carbonic acid often forms a very deadly poison a hen united to copper; and, in a former -reign, an individual who had innocently caused the death' of several persons, in consequence of boiling their fund in a 'clipper caldron impregnated with this rust, was burned alive •on •suspicion of having put poison into the pot. If chemistry.. had been understood in those days, they • never would have burned the poor fellow, any more than the Cor poration of Liverpool, if they had known ii, would have brought the present actions against the alkali manufacturers. These are the effeciatif carbonic acid, of which 20 ions are decomposed, by the limekilns every day. Now, let us see what space this would occupy in the atmosphere. 11)0 cubic inches of Carbenic acid will weigh 46 grains. 'By subjecting time amount of car-. bonic acid gas disengaged in this manner to the same analysis as we have previously done the muriatic acid; we find, that 555 cubic feet of carbonic acid are given out per minute froth time limestone, to only' 224 cubic feet of mutidie acid. 'This is precisely double the•quaotityS Persons - may say, that carbonic acid cannot lie an 'injurious gas, when it is used in •I he manufacture of soda water. But this is a mistake. It has been' found, that when one part of this gas is mixed with six parts of 'at mespherie air, the mixture will not suppoi - t the flame of a . candle: but that an admixture of o ne part o f c arb o ni c a c id wit h. seven parts of atmospheric sir, will do so. Singular as it may appear, the same holds good in exactly the saute propertions with muriatic and sulphuretted hydrogen gase's. In order ft. drive off the carbonic acid from the limestotiewe use coal, which . is placed in strata between the limestone for the purpose of s heating it. Coals are as deadly as anything else, in coese-, quenee of the vast amount of carbonic acid which they produce,' in which respect they are equalled by no other substance. This being the case, we have this fact to remember, that every time we light a fire we are generating carbonic acid, but not carbonic acid only, as carburetted 11%drogeu, anti sulphuretted hydro gen, are given out during the. combustion of coals. There• fore, instead of five hundred and fifty-tire cubic feet of car bonic acid . gas being given out of the hinekilmi of this town every minute, - thete-are upwards of ONIC THOUSAND, when we take into consideration the aumunt pioduced by the coals emu . played in heating time lineesfoue. Where does al this gas go to ? is carbonic acid material or immaterial? The question is readily answered, • bat we knuw that it is ono of the inco6 - .. j veniences to which persons mu s t h e su bj ec t t o w h o res id e in a manefacturing-town. It contributes its share to the rusting or tarnishing or metala• as well as thihe chanee Which takes place in dyed clothes. - Sulphurous acid gas likewise , changes veto-- tables blues - into reds, it also tarnishes metals, and i s unfit ' for respiratisn. This is one point in which the manufacturers of Liverpoal might make greatiniprovement. In making sulphuric acid' they employ sulphur and saltpetre, which they burn in a chamber. The gas which is thus produced is rouilucted into adjoining leaden chambers containing water, with a hich it en ters into combination. But a (pommy of sulphurous acid gas entre St hese Chambers with . the sulplonic acid gas; and, unless the chambers are maileparfrOlVtair tight, it • escapes from the crevices, and causes the people to cough and say, " Thi s i s mu riatic acid s a ss !" In nine instances out of ten this is the gas which causes persons to tough; but if manufactories were to have a sufficient quantity of water so a9'to form a perfect water lute, there wont I I.e no escape of sulphurous acid at all. If the corporation of Liverpool • bad called a lenly er scientific men 'together—and they will be oblige: to adopt this course eyentu ally, they would have prevented ,all — the mischief and injury. which they hare occasioned, and which it will take seine time to alleviate—if they had called io scientific men and got them to give the matter their serious attention, with a viewto thesugges t ion 'of th e ',relies remedies, they might then have insisted upon each manalactureradtipting them, under pain of summary in (Hutment This is the kind or: way in which the business should have been done. and then there is no manufacturer that would 'not cheesfuk submit to it.' Well now, sulphumus a ci d gas is liven oat in considerable quantities. It acts upon life, upon ve getables, and upon- metals. Mut iatic acid gasdoes not produee the action upon fish or upon flesh, that which was so• nonseesiealis attributed to it at Lancaster assizes. I do not mean to say, that the effects described were not produced, butl deny that they were pi-educed by muriaticacid:' IF we put an oyster into muriatic acid we do not produce the effect uponiii which was 'described. There can lie no doubt that many timings will act upon oss ters, and lobsters. and greens. ' , Go to the garteas 'hi the neigh lientirood of Liverppoel s and you will perceive that the green.. Ink as it' they had been dipped in sulphurous • acid gas. Thti frost is the' occasion'of this. There are nit cabbages 'to be hid in London, except such as are ail yellow amid hang down heads, and yet there is no mut iatic acid in Loutish to injure the cabbages. But, as there are such a number of deadly gases given out in the immediate neighbourhood of the alkali works, I should propose, that the people of Liverpool •allow a that part of - the town to be entirely applopriared to manufacturing pur. poses. and reside elsewhere. Instead of properly helms injured in value, I much doubt whether land in the netehboorhatid el these woks is Hot of greater value than ever it was. Ithaley- Street, Manchester, wassnot many years ago, the favourite resi dente of the gentry in that townsuntil the cotton-factories. find other large establishments with tall chimneys, rendered it an unpleasant neighbourhood, The houses were large, awl Kir a number of years uninhabited ; but go to Manchester now, and ask the inhabitants whether properly in lozley-sireet is riot more valuable than it was before the oni S ncc s came there. Why so? Because Mosley-street is the nucleus tif,manufac, turfing power, and where manufatturing power, existe, wealth wiil follow. So will i t he in Liverpool, unless it be through the mistaken folly ut . its inhabitants. There is always a state of transition its property, when It is converted from household to manufacturing purposes, and some persons Will naturally suffer, for a time, in consequence of this transition. They. may.have bought houses, which were rather large, in which the lich will Ant live and the poor cannot. .The itutividual owning these houses, finding his property will not let, 'gets into a rage, and alst " 1 will pull down these large chimneys." and thus does away with' the very means by which he would he able to make his property product ice. It is strange if the source of wealth in Liverpool would be the means of injuring property. The Doctor pro- - ed, by. experiments, as far as the lecture ad mitted of it, every position he laid down, amongst which Were the injurious effects of carbonic acid, and sulphuretted. hydro gen gaaes on animal life, as well as upon metals. On Wednes day, Thursday, and' Friday evenings he. purposes returning to subject, when he will view it its a number of different .points of view, for the purpose, as he says, of disabusing the public mind of the various erroneous and absurd statements which have been an currently propagated with respect to the nature, and properties'of muriatic acid gas. SECON I) EI) Ivi‘ f ON. Standard Office, Three o'Clock. DEPARTURE OF THE GREAT WESTERN STEA M-S 1 P. - This magnificent vessel on - S.iturdav - Morninw at length left her moorings, at the Brunswick Wharf, for Bn etarl, previiins to crossing the Atlantic for Amt,ririt. No occurrence for a long time past has created so- stirring an Intel est•in the scientific world. She hail. been' des ined to start by five Web), k; but owing to the impossihilitv - of clearing her of the numerous workmen who- were employed- up to the last miunte on her decorations, &c., she did not start until upwaHs of an hour beyond that time. Notwithstanding many stumbling, bliicks, every thing-was in wood 'sailing trim when the (treat Western started; and, with the exception-of the stariing•irlone of the small planks connected with hP larboard paddle-wheel, all bore a propitious appearance. 'Flue morning was glorious, mal as the magnificent vessel floated majestically down the Thames, - she was saluted with the'cbeers of all who at that early hour Were assembled. When she was thoroughly afloat in open water; the log-line (a patent one) was east, and her speed as. certained to be fifteen knots an hour, which disproves the as sertion of some of onr morning contemporaries, that she was outstripped on her trial the other day by the Sirius. In fact, the latter never passed her at -all until the two vessels were pro ceeding in contrary directions, and then the Sirius had no bur then on board; the (heat Western had 501 tons of coals. At a little after seven she reached Gravesend, having p rformed the distance ie the space of 1 hour 14 Minutes. here most of the visitors, (amidst who'll' we-recognised - M r Bruncl. ) wit h 4he Custoiti-house officer, were put into a boat to be rowed ashore. About - half an-hour after this an accident occurred which ad mirably illustrates the ereat caution which 'has marked all the ..movements of the proprietors of this splendid ship, and of every hand connected with her ; this was no less than an alarm of fire. The workmen employed to coat the boilers With felt, for the purpose'of pre - venting the • radiation of heat, had intpropetly owed -a quantity of oil, red lead, and felt about the part of them which is in contact with the chimney.' As the vessel - approached the Nore the smell of , heated oil attracted attention, but its origin was not perceived until, in a- few minutes, it burst into flames, entillinz of course, large volumes of smoke. The vivid ness with which it burned must, to the nervous, have appeared terrific ; wrimatelv; however, those on boa idwere so satisfied with the efficiency (if all the arrangements, that-the only excite ment produced was that of interest instead of fear, and all the effect of this alarming appearance was that of inciting every person-On board to activi , y. No sooner was the position of the fire ascertained than so huge a jet of water was directed upon it by' the powerful engine pumps belonging to the vessel, assisted by a iuortable-fite-engine, with which the deck was fortonately • provided; - that it was - extingnisked .with scarcely a hit more -da mage than that occasioned by the zealous remedies of the crew. During this anxious scene the engines had beeWstopped, but Messrs. Mandsley and Field, who were on board. now descend ed. and, having carefully - examined the source of alarm, report ed all safe and sound. We are happy in being able most posi tively to state. that no personal injury was sustained during the time she took fire; and have' no doubt of her becOming one of the most • favourite mediums of transit -to -the shores of America. LIVERPOOL MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE', TUESDAY, APRIL 3. The week's supplies of Wheat and Oaf's 'rum Ireland are small,' :hut large of Oatmeal and Flour; into Wakefield the stipuly of Wheat has attain been large. .There was a limited attendance at our market of country millers and dealers, who purchased very sparingly of Wheat, although holders evinced more inclination to sell, and would have taken rather less fur some qualities. The' Oat and Oatmeal trade were firm, and fully supported last week's prices. We had more inquiry for Flour of the -fine qualities; which sold at rather better prices, but we cArt quote no general im provement in the market. The week's supplies of Butter are 3.472 firkins. Holders continue to press sales; fine old at 881. to 9/1. per cwt., which the consumers take iu small quantities. • MANCHESTER MARKET, SATURDAY. Reports from all the p. ineipal leading Markets. note a still further decline in the value of Irish Butter, and a decided determination on e part of consumers not to porehase . so !Ong as they have any stock onfhand. In our 'market to-day a similar feeling was manifested and the few sales made were at-extremely low rates. At our market. this morning there was a tolerably :mod show o samples and a fair inquiry for all artieles. Wheat of prime quality was soil on quite as good terms as on this dly se'lloieit, and the trade brew, •low • in stock of Flour, holders demanded late rates, and for some choice marks rather higher prices were obtained. Oats-and Oatmeal were in steady request, and good qualities supported the previous quotations. The sales made in prime descriptions of - Malt and Beans were at fully, last week's :iriceS. but inferior bulks were difficult to dispose of without submitting to lower rates.
