WM. CARTER, LIVERPOOL. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE GREAT RADICAL « DEMONSTRATION" ON KERSAL MOOR. (From the Manchester Guardian.) We have devoted so much space to the speeches and proceedings of the radical meeting on Monday, that we must postpone, until Saturday, any remarks that may be suggested by those proceedings, and, for the present, confine ourselves to a few observations on the numbers who attended the "demonstration," with re- spect to which the most absurd and laughable exagge rations have prevailed. In doing this, we must at the outset admit, that the attendance very considerably exceeded our expectations, and showed that the dili gent canvassing and placarding - by which the affair was preceded, had produced considerable effect upon the curiosity, if not on the political feelings, of the sur rounding population; and a meeting was collected which, we believe, has nut been exceeded in magni- • tude by any political assemblage held in this neigh bourhood since the memorable meeting on the 16th of August, 1819. With respect to the numbers actually present on Monday, they are calculated by the promo ters of the meeting at various amounts, from a bare 100,000, to the magnificent estimate of Mr. Fergus O'Connor, who says, " there were eighty acres of full grown men, women, and children," which, "at five to the square yard," would make the very handsome number of 1,936,000! Such are the estimates of the ultra-radicals themselves. Perhaps some of our read ers who may feel disposed to laugh at Mr. O'Connor's calculation may, nevertheless, be inclined to think that there is some truth in the lower estimate to which we have alluded ; but we can assure them, that the one is just about as reasonable as the other. 4p order to form a moderately correct opinion as to tilt number of persons present at a meeting like that on Monday, it is necessary to look at the ground either before or after the proceedings; because a piece of land, when covered by a dense crowd of people, always looks much more extensive than it really is; and when we saw the meeting on Monday, we supposed it to co ver much more ground than we found, on a subsequent inspection, to have been the case. Any person who saw and mixed with the assemblage, who noticed how it was placed, and who will now go and view the ground, will find that the space occupied by that dense portion of the meeting which stood near the hustings may be readily distinguished by the way in which the grass has been trodden down ; and he will find, very likely to his astonishment, that it is very little, if at all, more than forty yards square. He will also find, that the line of flags and banners (which was a long way outside of the. solid part of the meeting) was not more than 75 yards from the front of the hustings. Taking these data, we are quite satisfied that if the whole of the persons present at one o'clock (when they were the most numerous) had stood as close as those who were immediately in front of the hustings, they would certainly not have filled a space of 80 yards square; and we do not believe that there were at any one time so many as 30,000 persons present on the ground. We understand that Colonel Wemyss, who was on the moor with several other military officers, and who took great pains to form a correct judgment of the numbers present, estimated them at 30,000, which we believe to he rather over than under the truth ; but which all reasonable men will greatly pre fer to the calculations of Mr. Fergus O'Connor, or the more moderate guesses of those who make the num. ixe.s only some one, two, or three hundred thousands. THE ANTI. CORN .LAW AGITATION. ( From the Metropolitan Conservative Journat.) The present agitation and demonstrations of the whigs and their radical allies, against the earn laws, are in perfect harmony with all the movemeas of that anti English faction, who are still permitted, for the benefit of themselves and their master O'Connell, to disgrace the offices of state and prey upon the vitals of the count ry. The wings .know that the steady, sober thinking, and intelligent agriculturists, whether land lords or tenants, are strongly opposed to them, their selfish treachery, and their ruinous schemes; and that their only ch nce of support is with the unwashed, im pudent, gin-drinking rabble of the large towns. Any thing, therefore, which shall tedd to reduce the power and influence of the agriculturists, and to promote, or have the plausibility of. promoting the interests of the commercial and manufacturing population, will be at tempted by the whigs, if they can thereby prop up their dying faction, retain their offices, and minister to their corruption and turpitude. Several attempts have been made by this vile crew to enlist the ignorance and folly of the masses as warmly in favour of some farce, which they are desirous of performinc , for their own especial benefit, as was manifested in behalf of the pre lude to their reform delusion, which the people now see was one of the most crafty and deceitful pieces of party m anoeuvre which even the whigs themselves ever practised. The sole object of the reform bill, as the whole country now see, was simply the benefit of the whig party ; and so disgusted are the people with the cheat, and treachery, and hypocrisy of the liberal, re foi7ning, economising, no-patronage whigs in that par ticular instance, that they treat their more recent attempts to practise upon them another delusion with silent contempt. And after various laboured and vain efforts to raise a breeze of popularity in their fa vour, they have now hit upon one which they hope, through the assistance of their hirelings of the press, who are ever ready to do their dirty work, will par tially, at least, succeed in enabling them to retain offices and fatten upon the public purse, a short time longer. " Cheap l3read"—"No Corn Laws"--"No Tax upon Bread"—" Repeal of the Corn Laws"—" Take off the Tax from the Staff of Life"—all these are very plausible and catching sounds with the ignorant and gabbling mobs of Birmingham and Manchester. But, neverthe less, ignorant and besotted as are the great masses of the large towns, they cannot be made believe that the men who could pass the new poor law bill care one fly for the real interests of the poor, and whether they be well and cheaply fed or not. The manufacturing operatives must perceive that the price of corn cannot be lowered without producing ruin to the husbandman as well as to themselves. That corn can be grown cheaper in other countries than in this is an undeniable fact; and if foreign corn be allowed to come into this country without any duty, to protect our own agri culture, the result would inevitably be that thousands and thousands of acres of British land would be thrown out of cultivation, because it would not pay the farmer; and thousands of operative agriculturists would be thereby thrown out of work, and driven to seek em-• ployment in the manufacturing districts, which would itself reduce the wages of the operative manufactu rers; for, on the principle that " half a loaf is better than no loaf," the people would work for next to no thing rather than starve, or be thrown upon the tender mercies of the whig new poor law. Whether the difference in the expense of raising corn in this country be attributable to the comparatively higher rate of taxation or rents, is of little moment ; for neither the one nor the other can be reduced without injury to the manufacturers themselves. The whigs say that they cannot possibly reduce the,taxati on of the country, and their figures prove tire truth of their state Illent ; and, therefore, as the same amount of taxes must be raised, the agriculturist can only be .relieved by throwing a greater portion of the taxes upon the marm facturers. Carry this also to the subject of rents, and the same result will be seen to be inevitable. If the rents be reduced, as. they would be very materially if the corn law was repealed, agricultural property would be proportionably reduced in value; and then, as the taxes are imposed according to the value of the property, a far less amount of taxes would be raised from the agriculturists than at present; and then, again, as the Same amount of taxes must continue to be raised, the agricultural deficiency must inevitably be made up by the manufacturers in some way or other ; unless, in deed, the nation is become bankrupt, which no honest man or patriot would wish to see, however careless the whigs may be upon the subject. It is quite clear that th e interests an a welfare of the agricultural and comfier cial portions of the community are so inseparably bound up together, that the ruin of the one would al mustinurrediately be followed by the ruin of the other. This must unavoidably be the case from the very cir cumstance of their each forming part of the same com munity. And we see no possible way of the manu facturer really benefiting himself hut by his going over with his manufacturing knowledge, and machinery, and so forth, into the countries where corn and taxes are so much lower. There is, to be sure, the alterna tive of putting a complete end to the ruinous system of quackery and free trade, and of strictly preventing the exportation of machinery and unfinished goods of every description. The manufacturer would thus be far more benefited than he ever can be by the nostrum of corn law repeal, which we doubt whether even the whigs, profligate, unprincipled, and reckless as they truly are, seriously intend, otherwise than as a dein_ m o p upon the manufacturers and a bugbea r t o th e agr i cu lturists, and thereby t ie promotion of their own party and selfish purposes. The whole business is indeed a pure piece of vile whiggery, and metely a new edition of their hatreflof the fifty pound clause in the reform bill. If the fifty pound tenants, in the agricultural districts, were in fa vour of the Whigs, they would be lauded as a noble race of sturdy, l sound-principled, honest, old English men, and as the excellent of the earth; but as they have too much sense and too much honesty 'to be at all inclined to whiggery, they are every thing that ;s vile and contemptible, and are at once to be rubbed of their rights and privileges as Englishmen. If, however, the whigs continue their agitation upon either the corn laws or the fifty pound clause, we would seriously ad • vise the agriculturists throughout the country to meet them with the cry of "justice to the farmers," and in sist upon having "equal rights," and " equal privi leges," with the inhabitants of the towns. Instead of being contented with the marked injustice of the fifty pound franchise, let the farmers demand that every. man paying ten pounds rent in the country be entitled to a vote as well as the ten-pounder in a town. The persons who pay ten pounds a-year rent in a country village, are far more respectable and intelligent men, incomparably better subjects, pay more taxes, and oc casion the government much less trouble, than—the ten-pound householders of the town. Besides, while the countrymen are a sober, quiet, steady, peaceable, and moral set of men, the townspeople are compara tively an ignorant, depraved vicious, discontented, pro fligate, and troublesome crew. Let the whip, there fore, mind what they are about, for if the agriculturists should insist upon..." justice" and "equal rights," they could make out a case clear and unquestionable to every honest and intelligent Englishman. A FEW WORDS ON MODERN FASHIONS (From the John Bull.) Rarely do we presume to venture upon such difficult and intricate subjects as " ladies' fashions" and " gentlemen's fashions;" but the cock up bonnets, wonderfully long petti coats, and innumerable scarfs, now io vogue with our \remises, Junos, and Minervas, and the broad brims of our Apollos, Narcissuses, and Hylases, tickle our fancy so much, that for once we must say a word about these habiliments. Tastes differ ; still we think it is generally, if not univer sally, granted, that most costumes look better upon persons who are not what is called squat. And—although we hear that the second of the three articles of female dress which we have named, was recently designed expressly for one who is not tall—the fashions we have now to treat upon, do certainly not become figures that are dumpy. There are those whom almost any dress becomes, and who— " Most adorn'd when unadorn'd the most— . look best when least dressed. To such a one, grace shaping her limbs, and beauty decking her face, the aspiring, and apparently ascending, bonnet of the present day does not, because it cannot do, much mischief. But surrounding a little round face, at the top of a little round body, this bonnet does there look exceedingly droll and pert. Its bow, or hoop, or gable end, is exactly in the shape of a horse's collar, turned topsy-turvy. Indeed, it seems to have been revived from a passage in Sir John Suckling's old Ballad on a Wed ding, which passage runs thus:— " And to say truth (for out it must), It looks like the great collar (just) About our young colt's neck." The extraordinar3 length of the gowns, sweeping the ground, and nearly throwing down the ladies who wear them, and quite making those ladies—instead of stepping " like an Arab barb, or Andalusian girl"—stumble along in some thing between a shuffle and a waddle, "looks horrid" upon little folks, who, so dressed, are the very living models of baby's dolls, to whom art has given arms but no legs. This fashion also, appears to have been taken from Sir John Suckling's old song:— ".Their toes beneath their petticoats, Like little mice, pop in and out, As if they fear'd the light." Poor dear Horace, writing of his own ladies—we beg par don, we don't mean that—but writing of the Roman ladies of his own time, said, " Brachia, et vultum, teretesque sums, Interger laudo." Were he now here, he might well say " integer" as to the " terctes suras"—or, perhaps (suspecting they were all thick) he would say nothing about them—for under the present rijime, or reign of dress-making, "ankles" are.. " Like the lost Pleiad, seen no more below." • The black scarfs, or scarves, which, generally over plain white muslin, or checked white muslin, nine of every ten of our ladies have been wearing, and which, passing over the shoulders, and falling down on each side of the person, give at once a kind poke to the body, and also throw into high relief what, using an Anglo-Gallicism, we may term the "centre-back," have been brought in again from another example of the modes of former days, recorded and preserved in some scarce specimens of old Dresden china; which figures in the inanimate clay are curious little creatures, but which figures in the living porcelain are far more curious still—when very short: The broad brims of the gentlemen—at least of the "leetel men"—have been borrowed from china-ware too; not in deed of foreign, but English manufacture. A little gentleman, beneath a great broad-brimmed hat, with two cigars in his mouth, and a great big nose above them ; teeth large by nature, and yellow by art (the art of smoking); bushy whiskers; .a huge " neck-cloth"--no, that is vulgar— a huge " satin scarf," with spiders, dandelions, butterflies, black-beetles, or daffadillies upon it, which, were it not as pour iu texture us it is rich in finery, would look like a piece cut off the -skirt of his great-grandmother's gown; a menagerie of tigers and a museum of caterpillars on his waistcoat; a green or brown coat, bound with silk, and orna mented with embossed buttons, and over that a "Macintosh."' Trousers, not of leather, but of kind of cloth, called " buck skin," deeply fluted with broad stripes, like the pidarsin the Colonnade—this little gentleman having, moreover, very short legs, looks to our eyes, exactly like a little locomotive past lie china-cottage. The wide brim of his hat forms the long eaves of the cot tage; his large nose the porch; his bushy whiskers the shrubbery; the finery about his neck and chest the dahlias and hollyhocks, and interesting insects of such a " rural retreat ;" the drab or grey " Macintosh," the drab or grey walls of the " cottage ornee ; the cigars, the chimneys, and their smoke the fume, with this difference, that pastiles are aromatic, and tobacco is peculiarly abominable, As we were writing that word tobacco, a coincidence struck us which we have never before seen remarked. Everybody knows Samuel Johnson's celebrated saying, that " the Devil was the first whig." Nearly as many persons are aware that Ben Jonson traced tobacco to the same origin. But, from the results of the two researches never having been men tioned in combination, this coincidence between the two Johusons has escaped observation. Apologising for this digresssion from a subject upon the awfulness of which we have to apoligise for having entered, we would observe that as the present " fashions," particu larly when carried to an extreme, are exceedingly unsuitable to diminutive people, ladies and gentlemen who are below the middle size would do well to adopt the happy medium. Per haps we might add, that that happy medium would be any thing rather than a disadvantage, even to those who are not " under the standard." Duty has been paid on about 25,0(X) quarters of corn in bond, in this town, s►nce Saturday last. —Newcastle Journal. THE HERRING FISHERIES.—The "harvest of fins" has this season been most abundant. At all the principal sta tions the take of herrings has been one of the best that has occurred now for a number of years; and but rarely has the fish been of a better quality. One hundred and fifty crans per boat, constitutes a fair average fishery; but this number has been exceeded in so many instances, that, perhaps, more boats are above than under the maximum. As regards fins the Scotsman describes the present as the most successial season ever remembered, some a the boats belonging to New haven having averaged from £BO to £lOO per man. Nor has the supply of red been behind that of white fish, considering the disproportion of the elements they move in when captured by man—salt and fresh waters. If the beginning was bad, the middle and back end have been the very reverse. The poor Shetlanders, it is to be hoped have been able to take advantage of this prolific season by the proximity of the shoals to these islands; if so the cry of distress will be hushed, and with a proportionate share of land produce, there will be food enough throughout the land for man and , beast.—t\eu•- castle Journal. ESTIMATION OP ENGLISH CHAItACTER.—The Levant has always been overrun by Italian and French adventurers, from whom the Turks, till within these few ,years, formed ail their ideas of Europeans, confounding every nation under the term " rrangi;" the English they have now learned to distinguish from the herd, to respect and fear us, to look upon us as wiser than themselves, and to esteem, I believe, if they do not like us. "The word of an Englishman" is almost proverbial in Syria. In fact, a singular change is taking place in the character of the people; prejudice is gra dually wearing away.—Lord Lindsay's letter on Egypt, MENTAL CAPACITY IN MEN AND WOMEN.—II any one should contend, that women in general have the same degree of mental capacity as men, we ask him to show us a single instance of a woman possessing first-rate mental power in any of the numerous branches of science or art? Let him look through the history of all nations from the beginning of the world, and then tell us if, out of all the female sex, a' single Moses, Homer, Lycurgus, ./Eschylus, Plato, Aristotle, Archimedes, Phidias, Demosthenas, Cicero, Virgil, Dante, Michael Angelo, Raphael, Kepler, Galileo Cervantes, Ba con, Shakspeare, Milton, Descartes, Spinoza, Leibnitz, Newton, or Handel can be found! In short, can he produce one'single specimen of any of the great original creations of genius which was done by a woman ?—British and Foreign Review. DELICACIES.—"Sith a rabbit pie, Bill?" exclaimed Char ley Bates, disclosing to view a huge pasty; "sitch delicate creturs, with sitch tender limbs, Bill, that the wery bones melt in your mouth, and there's no occasion to pick 'em ; half a pound of seven and sixpenny peen, so precious strong that if you mix it with boiling water, it'll go nigh to blow the lid of the tea-pot off; a pound and a half of moist sugar that the nuggets didn't work at all at afore they got.it to sitch a pitch of goodness—oh, no! two half-quartern brans; pound of best fresh; piece of double Glo'ster, and, to wind up all, some of the richest sort you ever lushed." Uttering this last panegyric, Master Bates produced from one of his extensive pockets a full-sized wine-bottle, carefully corked, while Mr. Dawkins at the same instant poured out a wine-glassful of raw. spirits from the bottle he carried, which the invalid, Mr. Bill Sikes, tossed down his throat without a moment's hesita , lion.—Boz, in Bentley's Miscellany for August. NEVER MARRY A RA K E.—We say to every woman— " Never marry a rake." Let him he the most handsome, the richest, the most elegant. and pleasantest of men, he is a bad bargain, even with a coronet on his bead and a county in his rent roll. Alter all, peace in the married state, is only to be found in virtuous and healthy children ; and if a wife would have examplary sons. and happy, prudent, and heart-pure daughters, let her never look fur that in the offspring of that man . whose life, at the time when the mind, brain, and con stitution are being formed, has been passed in the profligate debaucheries of modern society. Until women remember, when they are asked in marriage, that they are not only to become wives but mothers—that a poor, plain, sober, and vir tuous man possesses gifts which must produce far greater fu ture happiness than all the wealth and rank of Crcesus with out these qualities, and the domestic felicity is to be found at the fireside, not in that carriage or ball-room, society will never advance in the direction best calculated to secure its ultimate improvement.—. Sidney Smith's Phrenology. THE BOSCHM AN AND THE LlON.—"when you are out hunting," 1 said, "and come unexpectedly on a lion, what do you do?" "It is no use to run away," answered the Boschman, "the lion would soon catch me, if he is awake and • L. • • 1-“. I continued; "if he has nothing to eat?" "Yew," was the reply. " You sometimes share what the lion has got, if he is eating whon you see him l" " Yes." ''"ShOw me how you get part of the lion's food." On which the old man, taking up his assegay, and walking backwards and forwards in frgut of a bush where a lion was supposed to be devouring a zebra or buck, and brandishing, but never throwing his lance, he addressed the lion thus, whilst he continued his to and fro walk—" What have you come here for? Have you got anything to it ? You made such a noise I thought you had got something. Don't think to come here and quarrel with me, but go off now and get flesh." Thus walking and talking for some time, he at last sits down facing the lion, when the astonished animal probably moves off, and leaves the remainder of his prey to the boschman.—Alexander's African Expedition of Discovery. LIVERPOOL MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. LECTURES ON CHEMISTRY APPLIED TO THE ARTS. On Wednesday, Dr. Kane, whose lectures upon this science were so eminently successful in the spring of the year, commenced a course of eight lectures upon chemistry as applied to the arts and manufactures. The lecture-room was crowded, the aisles below being. occupied by a nnmber of persons unable to obtain seat room. Upon the entrance Of the lecturer he was received with loud expressions of ap probation. 1 feel highly flattered, said Dr. - Kane, by the warmth of the reception which I have experienced from you this even ing, because it encourages me to suppose that the manner in which I developed this science when last I had the honour of addressing a similar audience in this theatre, was not unsatisfactory. The province of chemistry which I have to consider in these lectures is similar in many points of view,: bat dissimilar in others, to that in which we were engaged on the former oc casion. In the course of lectures which I previously delivered, it was my business to bring before you the phenomena of chemistry in their similar as well as in their general form, and to point outthe results of nature which are to be ex pected from the same causes. There is no science which opens so extensive a field of investigation or rewards our re searches with such satisfactory results. Having satisfied myself' that the dignity of chemistry will be understood by what I have already stated, it will be my study to folios; out the same phenomena in their application to the arts and manufactures, premising beforehand that as chemistry is capable of opening to us the most enlightened pleasure, so we shall find that a knowledge of it is the founda tion stone of our national success in the arts and manufactures. On the former occasion, in selecting my illustrations of the facts which we were called upon to discuss, I chose those which were capable of being brought before von in the most elementary and attractive point of view. Although the ap plication of ehemistry cannot tail to be to a certain extent attractive upon all occasions, I shall upon the present be obliged to sacrifice the brilliant to the useful, as I shall not allow myself to be called away from what is really useful to that which is merely ephemeral or novel in attraction. The substance which is above all others of the most im importance to the arts and manufactures is one which, since its discovery, has at all times maintained its station at the head of chemical substances. It is that to which, froth its pro perty of generating acids, the name ofoxygeu was first given, • and which has been continued, although it has since been found that acids are not exclusively formed by it. We find it to be extensiVely distributed over the three kingdom's of nature. In the atmosphere it composes more than one-fifth of the atmospheric air, and in water it exists in still larger • quantities, constituting eight-ninths of the waters of our globe s In the mineral kingdom we find it exists to the amount of one-third. In the vegetable and animal, we find it to a considerable extent, although not in such large propor tions, and performing such important services, that if it were abstracted every living creature would cease to exist. We shall find in real practice in the arts that every process is connected, one way or another, with oxygen. Setting out to contemplate the chemistry of the arts, I shall make one grand distinction between my present and my former method of treating the subject. Formerly, in treating of oxygen, I placed before you the various methods of preparing it. Now, however, my task is completely slifferent. I shall, in bring ing the subject before'you merely show its application to the art, and not dwell upon the various processes for obtaining it. - It is evident, front the extent in which it exists in nature, we may obtain it from a vast variety of bodies. The only one which I shall describe is that by heating a mineral, which we shall find to be of use in a variety of manufacturing processes, namely, manganese. • In this way we prepare oxygen for a • vast variety of purposes. It is not perfectly pure when thus obtained, but sufficiently so for all purposes in the arts. This mineral contains a metal of very great and general use, namely, manganese, combined with two portions of oxygen, one of which it gives out on the application of heat, so as to enable us to collect it in gasholders. Oxygen gas is trans parent, colourless, and a little heavier than the atmospheric air, but not much, being in the proportion of 11 to 1(1. To appearance it could not be distinguished from atmos pheric air, but a little examination only is sufficient to point out the difference. For instance, we find that if we plunge a taper into oxygen it burns more rapidly than in common air, and that if it be immersed in a state of ignition only the ac tion of the oxygen upon it is of so energetic a nature as to rekindle it. lu fact, all bodies which burn in atmospheric air burn with much increased vividness in oxygen. In order to show that this is the case, I shall take a portion of a sub stance which burns vividly in the atmosphere, but which we shall observe to burn with much superior power in oxygen gas. Phosphorus, for instance, as every person knows, is a very combustible substance, and burns with great brightness in atmospheric air, but in oxygen gas it will burn still more brilliantly. The combustion of phosphorus in oxygen, as in the atmospheric air, gives rise to the same products, but there is a greater degree of light and heat given out by its combus tion in phre oxygen. Oxygen, in its simple condition, is not applied to any purpose in the arts. Such au application would be extremely expensive. We are, it must be remem bered, in the midst of a vast store-house of this oxygen— the atmospheric air, from which we extract it in the bleachino , of linen, and other purposes, to the due performance of winch it is so highly important. Oxygen is met with in the atmosphere, mingled with a gas which was at first" called azote, from the circumstance of its being unfriendly to life, but now more commonly nitrogen. In order to prepare azotic gas, we may have recourse to a variety of methods, but I shall bring butone before von, and that a most characteristic one., When a substance burns in the atmosphere it combines with the oxygen., as the azote merely serves to dilute the oxygen. If we ignite a small quantity of phosphorus in a cup; and place over it a bell glass, so as to allow it to burn in a limited quantity of at mospheric air, the combustion of the phosphorus ,will go on until all the oxygen which the vessel contained is abstracted by the phosphorus. A white powder will then be found to have been formed during the process, called phosphoric acid, by the union of the oxygen of the atmosphete with the phosphorus. If we allow the vessel to stand until all the flocculent phosphoric acid has deposited itself, we shall find remaining in the glass the other compou.nd of atmospheric air in the state of pure nitrogen. The effect of nitrogen upon the combustion of substances is very singular. Thus, if we plunge a ligtited taper into it, we find it instantly extin guished, the nitrogen possessing the quality of extinguish tig_ flame, or rather of not supporting combustion. Time combustion of a body depends upon the play of affinities be tween the burning body and the gaseous body. Phosphorus is incapable of combining with nitrogen , and, therefore, it will not burn in nitrogen. Another very important use of the oxygen of the atmosphere depends upon its powers in promoting the respiration of animals. Every animal takes in a quantity of atmospheric air, but this air is much changed in respiration. '('he oxygen is replaced by a substance of a different nature, and its bulk is much diminished. In fact, every time we expire we metamorphose the oxygen into a substance of a different and completely • poisonous nature. We find a different action'carried on in the vegetable kiog dom, as plants absorb carbonic :meld and etiitt mi*gen. these counteracting principles the atmosphere is constantly maintained in the same proportions, so absolutely requisite for the general good of organised nature. Nitrogen, in its isolated state, is not used in the arts. It combines, however, with oxygen and with hydrogen in different properties, every one of which, either directly or indirectly, is of great import ance. The most important of its compounds is that from which it obtains its naive, viz., nitre or saltpetre. If we analyze saltpetre ; we shall find that it contains a large quan tity of potash, in combination with nitrogen and oxygen. If we bring potash and lime into contact with atmospheric air, so as to expose at considerable surface, see shall find under these favourable circumstances that the nitrogen and oxygen will combine and unite with the potash to form nitre. The chemist cannot generate nitre in sufficient quan tities by this method, but the manufacture is carried on upon a large scale by nature. Whereter limestones and calcare ous soils exist, particularly if they be mixed with clay, or gravel, or animal manure, if they ate exposed for a number of months in summer to the action of the air, provided they do not become too dry, they will be found, when washed, to yield a large quantity of saltpetre. In the East Indies nitre beds exist naturally in very large quantities; and in the central parts of South America there is generated an enor mous quantity of a kind of saltpetre in the same manner. From these parts accordingly the nitre is derived. Suppose a limestone soil to be exposed moist to the action of the at mosphere. The affinity of the soil for nitric acid is very pow erful, and in this manner it produces a junction between the nitrogen of the atmosphere and the oxygen, which forming nitric acid, unites with the base, and in this manner we have the nitre of conimerce. The manufacture of the nitric acid of commerce is very simple. If we take a quantity of nitre, consisting.of potash united with nitric acid, and pour upon it oil of vitriol, upon the application of heat the nitre is de composed, the potash unites with the sulphuric acid to form sulphate of potash, and aquafortis or impure nitric acid is disengaged in a vapourous form, and collected in a receiver. In the rain which falls after a thunder-storm we shall find a small quantity of nitric acid. Nitric acid is composed of one equivalent of nitrogen and five of oxygen, or 14 nitro gen and 40 oxygen form 54—nitric' acid. This enormous quantity of ox3gen which it contains gives to nitric acid its greatest commercial value, and not any remarkable quality of its own. It is a portable store-house of oxygen, and can easily be decomposed wherever the oxygen is wanted. In order to show this, it is only requisite to have recourse to a very few experiments. In the arts the metals are used in an oxydized form. The rust of iron, and an immense number . of substances which we 51 - 01 have to examine, are only com b inations of the metals with oxygen, and these oxides where they do not exist in nature are generated by means of acids. If .c take a little nitric acid and pour it upon the metal tin, there ensues a violent action. Orange-coloured fumes arise ; and a pearl white powder is formed, which is used in making white glass, and in various other processes in the arts. Ni tric acid in the arts is not made in glass retorts as we have described, but in large iron cylinders, lined with tire clay. Nitrate of soda is principally employed for this purpose. The heat is continued until the sulphate of soda is tused, which is then used as a flux by brass-founders. I shall advert to but a few of the combinations of nitrogen: In order to generate nitric oxide we take a retort containing a quantity of copper chippiugs, and introduce into it a little nitric acid diluted with three times its volume of water. Bub bles of gas are immediately formed, and there is taken from the nitric acid three-fifths of its oxygen. Nitric oxide is co lourless, and it is impossible for the eye to distinguish it from atmospheric air, to which it is similar in specific gravity. It is, however, characterized by this property, which is not possess*d by any other gas whatever. that, when all Owed to mingle with atmospheric air, it unites with its oxygen and generates very remarkable red fumes, by which nitric oxide can be very readily detected. In order to make this still more remarkable 1 shall fill this globe with oxygen instead of atmospheric air, by first removing the latter by means of the air pump, and then connecting the globe with a vessel con taining oxygen. if we place this globe of oiygen in'con nection with a jar of nitrid oxide vtry red, dense fumes are immediately produced. By this means we have nitrous acid, which can be collected in a solid form by condensation and cold. These red fumes are easily soluble in water, and we find that by their combination we procure a very powerful acid, more powerful than nitric acid. Nitric oxide supports combustion under particular circumstances. If the nitric oxide be very powerfully heated it is decomposed; thus when a body intro duced into it is burning very feebly it is extin guished, but when it is burning very powerfully it continues its action and decomposes the nitric oxide. Nitrous oxide is a substance somewhat resembling nitric oxide. It is well known under the name of laughing gas, but as its intoxica ting qualities have not been practically applied I shall pass it over with this notice. One very important application of a compound of nitrogen is in the manufacture of g,unnowder, and the artificial fires. Gunpowder is composed of charcoal, saltpetre, and sulphur, in proportions which differ in different countries. The proportion of saltpetre, however, is 75 per cent. In the manufacture of gunpowder there are two cir cuinstances which require to be taken notice of; the first is, that the saltpetre should be perfectly pure. The saltpetre of commerce is frequently contaminated with muriate or nitrate of magnesia and nitrate of soda. The salts of magnesia are deliquescent, and so is the nitrate of soda. The admixture of either of these substances would, therefore, communi;ate their property of becoming moist tl the gunpowder, and it • • • / uscil is vry mc--r e t as es wt co in a quantity of carbonate of potash, which is likewise deliquescent, and - cause the pow der to he subject to become moist. These things being at tended to, the manufacture of gunpowder is perfectly me chanical, the granulation being effected by pressure through ,sieves. Sulphur is not limited to the mineral kingdom. It is also met with in the animal and vegetable dominons, but in very minute quantities. In the animal kingdoms it exists in the brain and in the bones, and in the eggs of birds, owing to which silver spoons ate discoloured upon using them in eating the eggs of poultry. In a variety of plants of the cabbage and stock family, there is a quantity of sulphur, which is the cause of tbe bad smell exhaled by the plants when in a state of decomposition. From the mineral kingdom however, it is that the sulphur of commerce is always obtained. It is chiefly obtained from volcanic districts, or in combination with metals. It exists in Sicily, Italy, and the lonian Islands as one of the products of volcanic action. Around Etna, and near Vesuvius, we find strata of sulphur alter nating with those of gravel and gypsum. The purification of sulphur is a matter of great simplicity, as it melts very readily, and at an intense temperature is converted into va pour. The Italians formerly used to set fire to the rock con taining the sulphur in the open air, and to add fresh fuel as the sulphur melted away, and was collected in water. By this mode, at least n quarter of the sulphur was wasted, and the plan was laid aside, in favour of one which was invented in France. It consists in the distillation of the sulphur in close earthern vessels, and the collection of the molten mass in leaden chambers containing water. The sulphur is not thoroughly purified by this process but is afterwards, upon its arrival in this country, remelted, and the dross being suffered to subside, poured into cylindrical moulds to consti tute the roll sulphur. It is also formed intoflower of sulphur by subliming it in large chambers, upon the surface of which it is resolved from the state of vapour into a fine powder, upon the same principle which operates in the conversion of dew into hoar frost. Sulphur combines with oxygen in two proportions, in which state it forms sulphurous and sulphuric acid, both of which are of great practical use. The pale, blue flame which sulphur displays when burned in atmos pheric air is well known, but the colour of its flame when burned in oxygen is much more remarkable. It is then ex ceedingly brilliant, and exhibits a beautiful purple colour. The intensity of the light is however less than that of phos phorus similarly treated; this arises from the product of its combustion being gaseous, whereas that of the phosphorus is solid. Indeed, we shall find in all the phenomena of com bustion that the greatest quantity of light is generally given where the greatest quantity of solid matter is generated. Now although sulphur unites with oxygen so readily, we are not able to generate sulphuric acid by the simple combustion of sulphur in oxygen. The only product we obtain by that means is sulphurous acid, and we cannot obtain any higher combinations of oxygen with sulphur. At an early period of science the sulphurous acid was made in a very singular way. A quantity of sulphur was mixed with some nitre and the mixture set fire to. It was placed within a bell glass over some water, and successive quantities of the sulphur and nitre were set fire to over the water until the water was con sidered strong enough for what it was intended. The sul phuric acid manufactured iu this way was called Oil of Vitriol by means of the bell. Tbe present mode of forming it was invented by Dr. Roebuck half a century ago, but the theory was not understood for some time afterwards. It was known that when sulphur was burnt with nitre the product was sulphuric acid and not sulphurous acid, and accordingly it was at first believed that the sulphur obtained its addi- tional portion of oxygen from the nitre. Accurate examin ation has proved that this is not the case,—at least not in the way supposed—because as there is only 1 of nitre used to 10 of sulphur, it is quite obvious that the additional oxygen is due to some other source. We owe to Clamant and Guy Lusac the proper theory of its formation. In order to ewer, tain the way in which nitre assists in the formation of sul phuric acid,. we shall bring before you a very remarkable indirect experiment. I have here a somewhat complicated glass apparatus, consisting of a glass bottle with three necks;" into two of which the beaks of two retorts are introduced, and the third is left open for the introduction of atmosphe ric air. In one retort a quantity of quicksilver is placed, upon which is poured a quantity of oil of vitriol; in this re tort sulphurous acid is generated, as the quicksilver takes away the excess of oxygen from the sulphuric acid. In order to favour the action of the oil of vitriol upon the mer, cure we apply heat. In the other retort we have some cop per clippings. This second retort is for the purpose of generating nitric oxide, that gas which we saw was capable of .giving out red fumes when brought into contact with the oxygen of the atmospheric air. In order to obtain this gas we pour upon the copper clippings a quantity of diluted ni tric acid. By this means we bring together nitric oxide, sulphurous acid, and atmospheric air. The nitric oxide, by mixing with the atmospheric air, causes red fumes; these fumes upon meeting the sulphurous acid, do not act upon it if completely dry, but if moist they do, and form a white solid matter. Now this white solid matter is decomposed by water, and resolved into sulphuric acid, nitric oxide, and a s n,all quantity of nitric acid. In the manufactories of sulphuric acid where the mixture of sulphur and nitre is still practised, the burning of the sulphur in contact with the nitre produces a small quantity of sulphuric acid, but still that quantity is sufficient to eliminate from the re mainder of the nitre a quantity of nitric acid. This being mixed with the sulphurous acid is resolved into red fumes and oxygen, and the red fumes which are thus indirectly formed in the manufacture play the part of a 'carrier of oxygen from the external atmosphere. The manufacture of sulphuric acid has, -however, advanced beyond that pro cess by which it used to be made. The manufacturer burns sulphur by itself in a separate vessel, and supplies the red fumes from a different source, sometimes in the very same manner which we have adopted in the glass apparatus. Very frequently the sulphuric acid manufacturer is associated with the oxalic acid manufacturer, and the manager places in con tact with the nitric acid a quantity of sugar or starch, from which red fumes arise, which are conducted into the chamber, and then used in the formation of sulphuric oxide. The sul phuric acid, as generated in the chamber, - is not as strong as required for commercial purposes. It is concentrated by evaporation in leaden chambers to a certain strength, until it begins to act upon the lead. It is then further evaporated in glass or platinum vessels, as gas, platinum, and gold, are the only metals which are not acted upon 'hy.sulphuric acid. The acid which is formed in this way passes upon the con tinent by the name of English sulphuric acid, in consequence of its discovery by Dr. Roebuck. ';'here is a German acid used on the continent, which being more expensive, is consequently only used in dissolving indigo, for the finest qualities of the Saxon and French blues. It is made by the distillation o! sulphate of iron, in which process sul phuric acid flows over with very little water, and sulphuret of iron remains behind. It can be obtained perfectly dry, but in this state it isnot applied to the arts. The applicatiou of sulphuric acid to the arts is of more iteportance indirectly than directly. It is the strongest of all aCids, and in the ma nufacture of nitric and muriatic acids it is very extensively employed, but in a pure state it does not enter into connexion with the arts. . It had been my intention this evening to occupy you with some details of the processes of preparing muriatic acid, and of its properties; that acid is, however, so intimately con nected with a substance which will come before us next evening, namely, chlorine, that in treating upon that sub stance 1 will take the opportunity of calling your attention to Dr. Kane illustrated the lecture throughout with a number of pleasing and appropriate experiments whenever they could be introduced, calculated to render his meaning distinct and intelligible to the merest tyro in chemistry. On Saturday (to-morrow) evening be will treat upon the processes and substances used in the art of bleaching. WA IT FOR THE APPLat;sl , ..-,--At a,c,unty festival, where The Mcssialz was performed, the gen tle man to w hb m th e ar i a —Olt - 0u thatWiest had been assigned, anticipating a " fa vourable appreciation of his talents, wrote at the end of the song (the chorus following ,ionnediately) the words " wait for the applause." 'Phis he indorsed not only in the leader's copy, but au every one in the orchestra. At the conclusion of the song tare - leader, stopped, and there was a dead stop. " Why do you riot go on?" said the singer, in an agony of disappointed vanity. "1 mn,waiting for the applause," was the calm reply of the sarcastic conductor. This story re minds us of an anecdote which Robert. Hall, of Bristol, was accustomed to relate. : " I remember," says his biographer, "at the distance of many years, with what a vivid feeling of the ludicrous he related an anecdote of a preacher of some account in his day and connection. He would, in preaching, sometimes weep, or seem to weep, when the people wondered why, as not perceiving in what he was saying any cause for such emotion, in the exact places when it occurred. After his death, one of his hearers, happening to inspect some of his manuscript sermons, exclaimed I have found the expla nation; we used to wonder at the good doctor's weeping with so little reason sometimes. as it seemed. In his sermons there is written here and there in the margins, 'cry here;' now I verily believe the doctor sometimes mistook the place, and that was the cause of what appeared so unaccountable " —Musical World.' _ _ A7DAIUGHT(LR MURDERED BY A FATHER AND MoTHER.— The case of suspicion of murder mentioned in our )ast has been confirmed by the exhumation of the body and analyza— thm of the contents of the viscera. The investigation into the death of Elizabeth Standring was on Thursday week, after the post mortem examination, resumed by the magis trates, when the following facts transpired :—Standring and his wife immediately absconded on being informed of the suspicions produced by the previous investigation, but by the unremitted exertions of Sadler, the police superintendent they were traced to Oldham, and discovered in a most, wretched hovel, in a ruined court called the Bowes. Messrs. Ita,goor and Downes, assisted by other medical gentlemen, opened the body, and on analyzing the contents of the bowels they found enough of arsenic to have caused death to a dozen people, which they unhesitatingly declared to have been the cause of the girl's death. The cashier of the benefit society proved that the prisoner called upon him fot the burial money on the same day that his daughter died, saying that she died of a common - bowel complaint. On the evening of the same day he obtained money from the parish and from another society towards the funeral. The facts of the pri soner's buying the arsenic, giving the mixture, which he called jalap and treacle, to the deceased; his refusal to call in medical advice when requested to do so, and other facts tending to implicate him in the charge of murder, were given at great length. The magistrates fully committed Standring on a charge of murdering his daughter, and held the mother to bail in £5O. to appear when called on.—Abridged from the Stockport Advertiser. _ _ CoRN-LAWS.—Of all the preposterous accusations made against the Corn Laws, the most absurd is that they cause fluctuations in price! How a machinery which en hances the duties as the market price falls, and lowers them as the market rise, can cause fluctuation, it is impossible to conceive. The obvious operation of such a provision is to steady prices ; and if in spite of this and aty other possible law, prices are found to fluctuate, it is to be remembered that the grain market is agitated by every movement of the ba rometer. On every gnw(' then we prediathat the attempt now being Made to get up a corn•law agitation will fail. A favourable result to the harvest will crush it, because prices will not be felt oppressive; an unfavourable result will equally defeat the hopes of the agitators, as then the answer is obvious, that the corn-laws have repealed themselves and no longer exist. All men dependent on agriculture will set their faces against it as instant. and inevitable ruin. Alt ma nufacturers capable of looking beyond their noses will unite against it from a clear perception that the money given to foreigners for bread will eventually be applied to the et ection otraills and factories abroad ; and all men of every class who do not wish to see Britain dependant upon the willofforeign ers for the prime necessary of life—exposed to the danger of instantaneous famine declared against her countless manu facturing population, or reduced to a precarious ieliance on her own colonies for support•—will equally declare in defence of the imprescriptible right of the British farmer, and the vital interests of the empire.--Newcastle Journal. SINGULAR INSTANCE OF PRESERVATIoN.—OR Wednes day evening last, as the workmen were sinking the new pit at Newton, belonging to Messrs. Fernandes and Co., a tre-' mendous stream of water from some old works burst in upon them, and soon filled the shaft to the depth of ten yards. All hands fortunately escaped, with the exception of one indivi dual, named John Ramsden, a man with a wife and two children. This poor man was left in the pit, and given up for lost; his life, however, was miraculously preserved. Finding escape at the shaft impossibte, he made his way to a rather elevated part of the pit, but not sufficiently raised to keep off the water; his life was dependent upon the agency of the surronnding air, which had been forced to the point that he had chosen as a place of refuge by the sudden rushing of the immense stream. At this point, the condensed air, being unable to expand itself, offered an effectual resistance to the further progress of the flood, and - afforded a safe but uncomfortable asylum for the incarcerated man. In this situ tion he remained from 'Wednesday morning at ten o'clock until past two on Sunday, rather more than sixty-eight hews. From the time the accident happened, every exertion was made to clear the pit, and two gins, worked by horses, were brought into operation in addition to the engine; hot not is the ...*Reet.t ion. of ng auttram'-a lifer. n44..tier-w day morning, on letting down a man into the shaft, it was found that the pit was nearly filled with the black damp, and so certainly was his death calculated on that orders were given for his coffin, in order that he might be placed in it as soon as he was brought out. , Ramsden, however, hart acted with caution. Aware of the danger from foul air, he hail • kept himself awake the whole of the time, and never ventur ed from his retreat until he ascertained that the danger was over by hearing approaching footsteps. We understand his first exclamations were, " Gud be thanked!" " God bless you!" We had almost forgotten to state that several din ners and a few bottles of, ale were left in the place where Ramsden had retreated, which he happily got hold of. We understand that he is now fast recovering from the illness and depression which his sudden and deplorable condition had occasioned.--West Riding Herald. • ~ ~ Dipptitg 31nteMatt/rt.

The sup;dy of Beasts at market to-day has been somewhat smaller than that of the precding week, and the quality generally but indifferent. The sales to-day have been very heavy, which may be attributed to the large supply we had last week. and the quality not being that which was principally in demand, there has been a good number of middling and inferior Beasts left unsold, which has occasioned the holders of Cattle to give way a little in price. The supply of Sheep has also been a little smaller than last week, but we cannot note any material alteration in the price of Mutton, saving on that of inferior quality, which sold at a shade less than our lest week's quotations. The best Beef, which was scarce, was sold at 50. middling sd, ordinary 41d per lb.• Good W ether Mutton may be quoted at 6td, middling and Ewes (id, in ferior quality 51d per lb.

There continues to be a pretty fair inquiry. but the market has become dull The sales yesterday were 2,500 bags, and to-day 3,000 have been sold. Prices are without change. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, SETT. 27. Holders of dry Butter talk of higher prices, but find some diffi culty in obtaining them ;—in fact, business continues in much the same dull state, that we have latterly noticed; and in the mean time supplies are very abUndant —Pickled Butter rather steady at 86s to 87s.—Beef and Pork betray symptoms of some decline, and perhaps we are right in saying that both may be bought 2s 6d to 5s cheaper. Bacon steady. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 25. With the exception of heavy rain in the nights of Wednesday and Thursday last, the whole of the past week has been favourable for the operations of harvest, and a considerable quantity of Grain has been secured in good condition ;—notwithstanding which, and the release of bonded Wheat and Flour for home use, fully to the extent stated in our two last circulars, the demand has continued very steady here, and all the surrounding Corn markets, and sales to a large extent have been made to.our own millers and dealers, and to those in distant markets, of fine British and Foreign Wheat (chiefly of the latter,) rit,fully last quotatons, Which in same in stances have been exceeded by 2d to 3d per lb.---the finest white Foreign Wheat have reached lOs 9d, red 10s, and a small parcel of new English white from Suffolk, (crop - 1838,) of very fine quality, and in very good condition, Ils per iOlb. For Flour, also, there has been a better sale at an advance of Is to 2s per quarter oc curred on Wheat in the Yorkshire and London markets of the past week and at Manchester on Saturday there was a fair demand for Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal from this port. The ireports of Grain from Ireland and Coastways continue to be very trivial, and very little of the new crop has as yet appeared. (the Wheat Coastway s is chiefly Foreign, and a good deal more will thus come into port, having put in to the ports on the east coast, to save duty ; ) and but for the very opportune and fortunate supply by the release of bonded Wheat and Flour, this district would have experienced very serious distress, our stocks of old free Wheat being almost exhausted. The duty on Barley, Indian Corn, and Buck Wheat from foreign ports is this week increased Is 6d per qr.—and on Wheat and Flo it It is now again - increasing. On Friday last the duty on Wheat be came 28 8d per qr. and on Flour Is 71d pet' barrel, and on Friday next there is every probability of its being increased two steps, passing over 6s id and becoming lOs 8d per quarter and 6s 5d per barrel, and of rapidly further increasing, so that a great deal of Wheat and Flour note on the passage will form a renewed stock in bond, and may become a subject of serious discussion in the next session of Parliament ; for all other Grain in bond there has been but very little demand, and the value thereof is nominally as an nexed: At this day's market the advance above-mentioned was fully de manded, and in consequence of the improvement in Mark-lane ypsterdav a small further increase in the value of fine fresh Foreign Wheat was/obtained. and sales to a pretty fair extent effected ; for all other articles in the trade there was a limited demand at fully our last quotations, which were in some instances a little exceeded ; we have had a good deal of rain since Saturday and the weather appears unsettled.
