Literature. NOTICES. The Chanting portion of the Morning and Evening Services, newly adapted, with divisions to the words, for the use of the congregation of SI. Mary's, Kirk dale, by Henry Vincent Lewis, Organist. _ _ The r tiile of this work, which is one which has long been much wanted in our churches, explains sufficiently its object ; but we may add a few words as to the mode in which that object is carried out. A single upright mark is placed between the words to be chaunted at the point where the bar of mu , ic ends ; a double upright mark denotes the conclusion of the sentence, at!ti words and syllables which are to be dwelt upon are given in italics. By this means, where congregational singing is practised, uniformity is completely preserved. We give a verse of the Venite, from which the reader, by running it over, will at once perceive the plan. "Oh come let us sing un (bar) to the (bar) Lord (end of sentence). Let us heartily rejoice in the (bar) strength of (bar) our sal (bar) vation (end of sentence.) Let us come be fore his presence (bar) with thanks (bar) giving (sentence.) And show ourselves (bar) glad in (bar) him with (bar) Psalms" (sentence). This work, or a similar one, adapted to the particular chaunts used, might with advantage be introduced into all Churches. The excellence of the plan does Mr. Lewis great credit. Trip to Italy during the long Vacation. London: C Mitchell, Red Lion Court, Fleet-street. _ _ _ This is a very neatly got up work, and pleasantly writ ten, containing a description of a short trip of pleasure taken by the author and a few friends. The route is from Southampton via Havre to Paris, of whose princi pal sights it affords an entertaining though brief sketch. The travellers proceed by the Alps through Upper Italy to Rome, returning by the Rhine to Dover. A better Guide Book for a hasty gallop through the countries vi sited, which contain much of the finest scenery and ob jects of interest to be found in Europe, we do not know. SELECTIONS. BLAIR ATHOLL CASTLE AND ITS SCENERY. The following description of this ancient Scottish for tress, which has been selected for the autumnal residence of her Majesty and the Prince Consort, may be read with interest at the present moment : Blair Atholl Castle, and the Pass of Killcrankie, are the most commanding and interesting objects in the dis trict of Atholl in the county of Perth. The castle, the ancient residence of the Dukes of Atholl, stands on an extensive plain, known as the Blair, or Vale of Atholl ; and, in point of strength and situation, was well calculated to serve as a post of defence. With such facility, and being the only fortress commanding the pass, it was re peatedly taken and garrisoned by the rival armies, which ultimately lost and won this key to the Highlands. It was besieged and taken by Montrose, in consequence of its garrison having presumed to check his progress. Col. Daniel, an officer in Cromwell's army, took it by storm some ten years later ; and in 1689, it occasioned, what was justly termed the most important event of the day, the battle of Kilcrankie. In the last rebellion its garrison, under the command of Sir Andrew Agnew, foiled the rebels in two separate attempts to reduce it. But at last the noble proprietor, seeing that he had but little pros pect of ever enjoying domestic tranquility whilst the mansion was in a condition to serve as a rallying post in every civil commotion, dismantled its towers, lowered it by three stories, and reduced the warlike fortress of his ancestors into a common-place family residence. By this decisive measure, it has gained in security what it lost in picturesque effect, and in these peaceful times, with its magnificent curtain of umbrageous woods and mountains, watered by two rivers, embellished by the hand of art, and stocked with every species of wild game, from the roebuck to the ptarmigan, it presents one of the most attractive domains in Scotland. The pass of Kilcrankie, which communicated with the Blair of Atholl, stretches for the space of a mile or up wards along the termination of the river Garry. The hills rise from the bed of the river in steep gradation, flanking it on the western bank with a precipitous wall. The bold rocks lining its channel are mantled over with masses of waving ash, birch, and oak, the light and grace ful foliage of which, moving and changing its hue with every breeze, contrasts finely with the bleak crags that start at intervals through its leafy screen, and at length soar into the abrupt and rugged outline of Ben-Vracky. The situation of Fascally-house, at the entrance to the pass, is singularly romantic. This pass, in reference to its military history, has been styled the Scottish " Thermopylae," and till the present road was constructed, might have been called, with no less propriety, the " Via Mala" of Scotland. But the dangers of the pass, which contributed not a little to its sublimity, have disappeared with the progress of art, and those unprecedented facilities of intercourse which have been thrown open by modern enterprise. On the bleak surface of the moors stretching along the frontiers of Perth and Inverness, many pillars and cairns, memorials of those who have perished in the snow, or fallen in battle, give melancholy interest to the scene. At Dalna spidal are the remains of an encampment occupied by Cromwell's troops. Here, also, in the last rebellion, General Cope drew up his army in expectation of an attack, but quitting his position to continue his march o thward, threw open the pass to the Highlanders. The gardens of Atholl Castle extend along the Tay, and command the most deliehtful and picturesque views. In the immediate vicinity of the Castle several thousand acres of forest trees were planted between forty and fifty years ago, greatly improving and ornamenting the scenery around the Duke's domain. On the opposite side of the Tay is Birnham-hill, the lower part of which was covered with trees in the time of Macbeth, and now celebrated for its blue slate quarries. The extensive lawn on which the Castle stands is nearly 450 feet above the level of the sea at Panbride. On the river Bruar, about three miles from the village of Blair, there are several beautiful cas cades, one of which is between 150 and 200 feet in height. Amongst the various monuments of antiquity. in the united parishes of Blair and Strowan, the following may be mentioned :—Near Atholl Castle, on the east bank of the rapid Tilt, is Chaghglil-Aindreas, or cemetery of Andrew's disciples, where numerous bones have been found entire, in coffins composed of flat stones. To the southward of this formerly stood Andersmass market, now held at Perth. On the same bank of the Tilt, about a quarter of a mile from this spot, is one of those singularly constructed round castles or towers, in former times so fre , 11 nCy to be met with in Scotland; and close to:this stands Tom-a-vuir, or the bill of the fort, on a steep bank of the river. A short distance eastward of the Tilt, in Strathjoy, are the ruins of two round castles, on the top of a ridge, fortified with double, and in some places, treble ditches. One of the greatest objects of interest near this spot is a sacrificing cairn, sixty paces in circumference, having several large flagstones ou the summit, which formed the altar ; and near it are two obelisks, apparently part of a temple. Upon the Loch ain, which flows from Lochloch towards the Tilt, stand the vestiges of a house in which the Earl of Atholl en tertained James V. and his followers, and which the Earl burnt to the ground the moment the King had taken his departure. We have not room to describe a tithe of the interesting localities of the mountainous and diversified territory of Atholl.—Glasgow Mail. AN EFFECTIVE EEFLY.—When Queen Elizabeth, soon after her accession, wished to retain in her council some zealous popish lords, Sir Nicholas Throckmorton insisted on their dismissal. The queen, irritated by the freedom of bis remonstrances, exclaimed, " God's death, villain ! I will have thy head !" a remark which proves that swearing was an accomplishment of her youth. Throckmorton very coolly replied to this threat, "You will do well, madam, to consider, in that case, how you will afterwards keep your own on your shoulders." — Strickland's Lives of the Queens of England. THE JEWISH BURYING-GROUND AT JEHOSHAPIIAT. —Returning along the valley of Jehoshaphat, and passing along its eastern sides, we came to the great burying ground of the Jews. It looks more like a paved court, and I walked over it without at first perceiving it. Among the monuments are four unique in their appearance and construction, and known from time immemorial as the tombs of Absalom, Jehoshaphat, St. James, and the pro phet Zechariah. All are cut out of the solid rock. The tomb of Absalom is a single stone as large as an ordinary two-story house, and ornamented with twenty-four semi columns of the Doric order, supporting a triangular py ramidal top. The top is battered and defaced, and no one, whether Muslim, Jew, or Christian, ever passes through the Valley of Jehoshaphat without casting a stone at the sepulchre of the rebellious son. No regular entrance to it has ever been discovered ; and the only way of getting into the interior is by a hole broken for the purpose in one of the sides. Notwithstanding the specific names given to these tombs, it is altogether uncertain to what age they belong; and it is generally considered that the style of ar chitecture precludes the supposition that they are the work of Jewish builders.—Library of Travel, No. 5. ORIGIN OF THE BOROUGH GAOL.—The Borough Gaol is situated in Great Howard-street, (so called after the philanthropist, from whose designs and by whose archi tect, Mr. Blackburn, this immense prison was built.) It was formerly called the French Prison, being used as a receptacle for prisoners taken during the war. The cap tives were treated with the utmost kindness, supplied with every comfort, and it is a well known fact, that during the severe winter of 1795.6, they were supplied with bet tei bread than even many respectable families in the town could procure. They were allowed to manufacture trin kets, toys, &c. for their amusement. They had a little theatre erected, at which on one occasion, £5O was taken at the door. Amongst the prisoners was an extraordinary man named Charles Domery, who, in the presence of Dr. Cochrane, other medical gentlemen, and Admiral Child, devoured 14 lbs. of raw meat, 2 lbs. of candles, and drank five bottles of porter. He preferred raw meat to any other sort of food, and though supplied with the rations o ten f men, complained of being badly served . In devoured 174 cats, besides rata one year, he living that could be converted into and dogs ; fact, nothing o food, came amiss to his -voracious appetite. At the peace of ' lB 1100 prisoners were liberated. In 1811 02, upwards of devoted to other purposes, being converted into prison gaolwas debtors, who were removed to it from the Tower.oa Felons for also were confined .within its walls at first, but they wer afterwards located in Kirkdale Gaol. The original coat of this erection was £20,000, to which the sum of £lOOOO alterations. may be added for This prison has contained at one time 2000 persons ; the circumference outside is a quarter of a mile.We cannot refrain from quoting She. ridan on the subject of imprisonment. " Of old to debtors who insolvent died, Egypt the rites of sepulture denied; A different trade enlight ene d Christians drive, And charitably bury them alive." —Lacey': Pictorial Handbook. BLACKPOOL CHURCHYARD contains two inscriptions possessing melancholy interest. The first is on a tablet recording the death of Major Sparks and Miss Leach, who were drowned while leaving the vessel that had brought them from Canada, in Oct. last. It was said that they bad become attached to each other during the voyage, and contemplated being married on reaching England. Alas ! by what frail tenure are our brightest hopes held. Just as they were about to consummate their wishes, they were suddenly deprived of their existence; and now silently repose together in the same grave!—the next memento in that burying-place, is that ►ecording the death of Betty Butcher, who died in the year 1829. Betty was a neatly-dressing, good-looking girl of 21 ; and had won the affections of the son of a neighbouring far mer. Betty was only a fisherman's daughter, and her union with Walter Cragg was not approved by his friends. Walter, however, sincerely loved Betty ; and she warmly reciprocated the feeling. Going to the well one day to fetch her a pitcher of water, he unfortunately fell therein, and was suffocated before he could he rescued from his perilous situation. This untoward event weighed heavily upon Betty's mind, and she pined and died a few months afterwards. BETHLEHEM.—The first appearance of Bethlehem is very striking in whatever direction it is approached ; and it does not rayttire even the hallowed scenes and the asso ciations connected with its history—though they certainly give it an additional interest—to arrest the attention of the traveller, and bid him gaze upon the picturesque bill that rises in parterres of vineyards, almond groves, and fig plantations, watered by gentle rivulets that murmur through these terraces ; an-I diversified by the tower and the wine-press. It is a straggling village, with one prin cipal street, and is said to contain about 3000 inhabitants, most of them Arab Christians, and a peculiarly determined race, who give their oppressive rulers no little trouble. We proceeded to the fortress-like convent, and saw in its low door a curious evidence of the turbulence of the land. It is not four feet high, being made thus low to prevent the marauding Arabs from riding boldly into the house. The monks were at prayers when we arrived, and follow ing one of the brothers through the great church down a marble staircase, and along a subterranean corridor, we stood in the grotto called the Chapel of the Nativity. This place is declared, grossly in defiance of probability, to be the very stable where the Saviour was born, and a niche in a wall contains a very handsome white marble trough like a sarcophagus, which is shown as the very manger in which the infant Jesus was laid.—Library of Travel. _ _ _ LIVERPOOL IN THE OLDEN TIME.-011r first day's ramble we will devote to an inspection of the Prince's, Waterloo, Victoria, Trafalgar, and Clarence Docks. As we stand in St. Nicholas' Church Yard, by the flight of steps leading to the lower portion of " homes of many a household," and cast our eyes northward upon the forest of masts, from which pennants of all colours are gaily fluttering, and measure with the eye the distance be tween the river and the spot whereon we stand, we can scarcely believe it possible, that in the span of a man's life this mighty encroachment upon the stream could have been effected. Beneath the churchyard wall, a century ago, the angry waves boiled and bristled up, on boisterous nights and wild days, the raging current sweeping along, unimpeded, from the sea. This wall was the outward limit of ancient Liverpool towards the west ; and all her docks, and quays, and streets beyond this line are artifi cial. The original shore of the river being now occupied by Strand-street. Reference to a map will explain this at a glance. The old record tells us that the sea wall in 1655 was greatly damaged by a storm, " in which diverse pinnacles of the chapell, of this town of Liverpoole, were blown downe, and with falling broken all to pieces and other hurts of glass windows, but to say the truth, fur ther in the night of storm was a part of our chapell walls of this towne, next the tall sea mark, bursten and washen out, and sonic of the greater stones moved, which the ex tremeness of the seas carried six or seven yards."— Lacey's Pictorial Handbook of Liverpool. CAPTAIN WARNER'S EXPERIMENT.—When Captain Warner sp•alcs of his six-mile range, for which he re quired but a two-pounder, he states a physical impossi bility in the present st a t e o f chemical science; and Capt. Warner is certainly not one is whom any reasonable hope could be indulged, that by his knowledge any advance will be made. By the use of the fulminates, nothing would be gained, for with compounds so loosely held to gether, there appears no certainty; they are all liable to spontaneous decomposition. The fulminate of mercury was considered safe while mixed with spirit of wine, yet while in this state it exploded, and Mr. Hennell, of the Apothecaries Hall, was destroyed by it. Mr. Eley, the inventor of the wire cartridges, who had repeatedly mixed his fulminate of mercury, perished from the explosion of a pound of this highly dangerous composition. A French vessel, fitted, during the French war, with some new de tonating compounds, was never heard of after it sailed from Toulon. The large gun made for Mehemet Ali, re quiring a charge of -10 lbs., and throwing a ball of 4801b5., is considered too dangerous to use. Rockets of 100 lbs. are not found to move one yard. There appears to be a limit to destructive powers, and we have reason to thank Heaven it is so. The service may be improved, rockets may eventually be made to go straight, shells may be made percussioned, and a greater precision given to cannon firing. It is possible, by the introduction of the patent principle of Mr. Harding's new gun, which has given so great an increase to the power of sporting guns, we may improve that of the cannon ; but these, if effected, would be but a slight step to realising the theories of Warner or of Normandy. The evil they cause, and that is a serious though unavoidable one, is that scientific characters are debarred from the ground these enthusiasts claim as their own. Every application for experiment is now refused at Woolwich, because ninety-eight out of a hundred appli cants prove to be ignorant adventurers.—Polytechn.Rev. LANDING OF THE BRITISH IN HOLLAND DURING THE FRENCH REVOLUTIONARY WAR.—" War is of all things the most picturesque, and there never was a gala on the waters of the Adriatic more gay or glittering than our landing. But we had infinitely the advantage in the numbers, the brilliancy, and, what gave a higher feeling to the whole, in the reality of all its objects. This was no painted pageant; it was real strength, real soldiership ; the cannon that roared above our heads, as we descended into the boats, were the thunders which had shaken many a battlement ; the flotilla of launches, long-boats, and cutters, which covered the sea, was manned with the soldiers and sailors sent forth to fight the battle of human freedom on every shore of the globe. The ships were that British fleet whose name was synonymous with the noblest exploits of war, and which it would have been well worth going round the circumference of the globe to see. On this night we bivouacked ; the shore offered no human habitation, and it was too late for the landing of our tents. But the sand was dry ; our fires were soon lighted ; all was sport and activity ; our bands played ' Welcome to Holland ;' our men danced with the pea santry; all had the look of a magnificent frolic; and, when at last I threw myself on my open air pillow, I dreamed of fairy-land. At daybreak we marched, in the highest spirits, and only longed to try our strength with the enemy. From time to time, the sound of a cannonade reached us, and heightened our eagerness to advance. But Holland is proverbially difficult for any movements but those of a trackschuyt ' • and the endless succession of narrow roads, the perpetual canals, and the monotony of her level fields, rich as they were, exhausted us, more than if we had marched twice the distance. But the spell of human hearts is excitement, and war is all excitement. All round us was new, and from the colonel to the tank and file, the " general camp, poineers and all," enjoyed the quaint novelty of Dutch life. The little villages, so unlike our own, and yet so admirably fitted for peasant comfort, the homesteads embedded in plantations of wil lows, the neatness of every thing round the farm-houses and even the sleekness of the cattle which seemed by their tameness to form a part of the habitancy—all were objects of constant remark on our march ; and we could easily comprehend the horror with which the arrival of a French commissariat must strike these comfortable bur ghers. But the punctuality of British payments was perfectly known already; the whole plenty of the land was poured out before us ; we regaled sumptuously."— Blackwood's Magazine. WOODEN RAILWAYS FOR IRELAND.—The system is that about to be practically exhibited on several projected lines : from Guildford to Woking, from Hyde Park Cor ner to 'rick:mond and Staines, from Gloucester to Fish guard, from Waterford to Kilkenny, and others ; the ave rage total cost of which will not exceed £5OOO per mile. The new mode may be thus described. The rails, or ra ther trams, of seven to eight inches scantling, are indu rated and protected against the ordinary destructive agen cies of fire, rot, and insects, by a very philosophical pro cess, to wit, the injections, by successive exhaustion and pressure, of two solutions, mineral and alkaline, which by decomposition transmute the timber into a new and in corruptible substance. These trams are laid down on the principle of the " double way" of the ancient tramroads, which is also the modern principle of the Great Western Railway ; that is to say, they are let into wooden trans verse sleepers, and secured thereon by wedges, forming one great frame of longitudinal and cross sleepers, on the levelled surface of the ground. The tires of the wheels are perfectly flat, and before and behind each carriage two guide-wheels are fixed, at an angle of forty-five degrees; a deep groove in their circumference embraces the upper and inner edge of the trams, and the friction being thus thrown upon the axle, the carriages are guided with per fect safety, and without any perceptible abrasion of the rails. Upon a level, experiment has proved that less power is required to move an equal weight upon a rail way of this construction than upon the flanged wheel car riage of an iron rail ; at the same time, the bite of the wood affords a greater power of ascending gradients, and the bevel wheels give the facility of travelling the sharpest curves. A machine of seven tons can thus mount and descend gradients cf less than one in twenty, and traverse curves of 500 feet radius at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. On the one hand, the durability is attested by the fact that wood properly prepared has recovered the deflexion occasioned by the pressure of 140 tons upon a segment of an iron wheel three inches in the tire, and that an experimental traffic equivalent to seven years of an or dinary line did not obliterate the saw-marks upon the wooden trams, which, on the contrary, actually polished the bevelled surface of the guide wheels. The superiority of longitudinal sleepers over stone blocks and chairs, is demonstrated by the successful experiment of the Great Western Railway ; and the rationale of such a mode, and its peculiar adaetation to the circumstances of Ireland, in spite of the abundant stone of that country, are well ex hibited by Mr. Vignolles in the Appendix to the Irish Railway Report, (Appendix A, No. 1.) The rigidity and the vis inertias of stone supports, indeed, may be held to be one among the many causes in operation which induce such a fearfully rapid wear and tear upon some of the existing railways. Another advantage of the prepared longitudinal beams is to be found in the action of the de liquescent salts which enter into their preservative com position, and which effectually prevent slipperiness from frost, and from the opposite extreme of intense summer heat._ The comparative cost is stated to be for an equal length of rail, wooden £1746, iron £3556, showing a say ing favourtear and oft wheeaformer ao £lBO9 , inery besides, ecc. p o less ;y i e cutting eh.

PENALTIES.—The Commissioners of Stamps and Tv xes hereby give notice, that every person taking, pursuing game, without first obtaining a certificate, incurs a penalty of £2O, and is also liable to be surcharged in double the amount of the certificate duty. Any person in pursuit of game, refusing, on being duly required, to produce his certificate, or to permit the same to be read, or a copy thereof to be taken, or refusing to declare his true name and place of residence, also inc urs a penalty of £2O. Gamekeepers are desired to take notice that a certificate at the rate of £ 1 is. 6 d. will not authorise any perso n to kill game beyond the limits of the manor for which he is deputed; and, in order that a certificate at such rate of duty may protect a gamekeeper, it is requisite , not on l y that he should be deputed by some lord or lady of a mano r or reputed manor, but also that such deputation should be registered with the clerk of the peace , or the gamekeeper will be to be surcharged in double the duty of £ 4 Os. 10 d., and also be prosecuted by any common informer for the penalty of £2O. killing, or MOURNING.—Mr. Littler, as may be seen from an advertisement, has opened an establishment exclusively devoted to the sale of mourning. This is a distinct bu siness, we are informed, in many other towns, and has been carried on with much advantage to the public. CHEAP TRIP.—We understand we are yet to have another cheep railway trip excursion, and a delightful one it is likely to be from the hints we have had of it. It is proposed to go from Liverpool and Manchester, to Bir mingham, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Worcester, Bath, and Bristol, and the price we are told to to be fixed at so low a price as to suit all. The management will be in the same hands as all the late trips from Liverpool, and it cannot be in better. CONFECTIONARY.—It will be seen by an advertise ment that a branch of the Dublin Confectionary Estab lishment has been opened by the proprietors Messrs. Tweiny, in Berry-street. The shop is most beautifully fitted up, and the stock comprises a variety of delicacies (many of them peculiar to this establishment) sutied to every taste from the richest viands to the more substan tial and beneficial " Constitutional Bread", an article that is highly spoken of by our local physicians, and is well adapted to invalids or those troubled with indiges tion. SHOP EMBELLISHMENTS.—Every day brings forth some new and elegant improvements in the architectural embellishments of our shops, exteriorly as well as in teriorly, and they who pass through our streets one day admiring the rivalry in beauty of our shop fronts and windows are only the more surprised the next day to see how suddenly the objects of their admiration have been eclipsed by other decorations—more chaste in design, more attractive in appearance, and certainly more calcu lated to display with effect the multifarious articles for which our town is noted. Amongst the most modern we may notice Mr. Briscoe's, Old Hall-street, Mr. Tuton's, Mr. Mayor's, and Mr. Worldley's, in Lord-street, and numerous others in Bold-street, more particularly Mr. Scurfield's, late Cripps and Scurfield, and Mrs. W. Col lins, the saloon of fashion, both of which are fitted in teriorly with equal taste, and are worthy of admiration not only for their elegance but for the superior conveni ences they possess. Mr. S. has, we are glad to learn, signified his intention of closing at seven o'clock. ENTRANCE TO JERUSALEM.—On entering the gates of Jerusalem, apart from the overpowering recollections which naturally rush upon the mind, I was in many re spects agreeably disappointed. From the descriptions of Chateaubriand and other travellers, I had expected to find the houses of the city miserable, the streets filthy, and the population squalid. Yet the first impression made on my mind was of a different character; nor did I afterwards see any reason to doubt the correctness of this first im pression. The houses are in general better built, and the streets cleaner, than those of Alexandria, Smyrna, or even Constantinople. Indeed of all the oriental cities it was my lot to visit, Jerusalem after Cairo is the cleanest and most solidly built. The streets, it is true, are narrow and very rudely paved, like those of all cities in the East. The houses are of hewn stone, often large, and furnished with small domes on the roofs, which seem to be not merely for ornament, but to strengthen the otherwise flat roofs. There is usually one or more over each room in a house ; and they serve also to give a . g . reater elevation, and an ar chitectural effect to the ceiling of the room which rises w i t hi n t h em . The house-tops are the constant retreats of the people, and many of them are covered with awn ings. Portions of the parapet walls are curiously countryof preserving particular seasons. the wall from Be. con structed of small cylinders of red crockery-ware, pil e d u p in a pyramidal form , a nd forming a kind of open work that allows the air to blow through, and p ro d uces a most refreshing current. The inhabitant s say th at t hi s con structionbytem- pests m common has also n to this the effect Be sides this it is useful in permitting the ladies to observe unseen what is going forward.—Library of Travd. LIGHTING THE METROPOLIS.—The following curious statistics, prepared by one of the principal gas companies, will give some idea of the means at present employed for lighting London and its suburbs :—There are 18 public gas-works, conducted by 12 companies; their capital amounts to upwards of £2,800,000, employed in piPeg , tanks, &c. The revenue derivable therefrom is estimated at £450,000 per annum. There are about 180,000 tons of coals used annually ; there are 1,460,000,000 cubic feet of gas made; 134,300 private lights, 30,400 public lights; 380 lamplighters, 176 gasometers, several of them double. and capable of storing 5,500,000 feet ; and about 2, 50 ° persons are emplayed in various ways. CURIOUS FACT.—II is a curious fact, that the five commercial towns in England, namely, the metropolis , Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, and Leeds, wit h their suburbs, contain, within an area of 96,000 acres, or as nearly as possible the area of Rutlandshire, a population equal to the following seventeen purely agricultural coun ties :—Bedfordshire, Huntingdon, Suffolk, Sussex, Berks, Buckingham, Cambridge, Cumberland, Hertfurd, North and East Ridings of York, Dorset, Rutland, Hereford , Oxford, Westmoreland, and Northampton, with all the country towns within those counties, which occupy an area of 10,000,000 acres, or about a third of the whole ea' tent of England ; further, that the population of the sew . ,e five towns is equal to th a t o f the whal e o f 4 S co tl a nd, its 19,000,000 acres. THE TAKING OF THE TUILERIES.—" We have a vivid description of the taking of the Tuileries by the popula ce ( Some amused themselves by mutilating the statues ?, kings, or by firing at the portraits of such of thenuirs_illa" as they consi d e re d t o have hss b iecAhny e rit e irthyea n thoeeasiyrus g ,sh u nmtep i igaa l sla t iaemn y schcqeeaoud o indmne f rwapw t aha r diait e ncessh a io.o s tr o bbnpue n sligraotreroi t i:dr o itnu : i ! int:: : poleon.
