~~__ CON7'E.IIPORART PRESS. LORD DURHAM. • (From tk-e Morning Herald.) Up'to , the very .moinent of there•assembling of Par liament last week, ninety-nine persons in every hundred of those who had given the matter a thought, imagined, we Will venture to say, this nobleman to be still, nomin ally at least ; our ambassador to- the Court of Russia ; and that he had returned home on leave, merely to, try his hick 'at a prize in the cabinet lottery ; in which hav ing failed, we might soon expect td .hear .of his return ing toa post, which any man of the most ordinary judg menttand discretion roust be aware, ought nut to have. beenwleft , for a single moment , unoccupied. It now see*, tirivverer, that all this was a mistake—that Lord Durliain's,Russian embassy was vacated (and, of course, his salary ceased) from the moment he left.St.Peters burg,b;.and,it follows that our inimitable foreign secre tary considers it an 'appointment or no earthly conse quenpfe, ad one step having been, for six months or tore; taken to supply the vac anc y t hu s occasioned. In tile mean time Lord. Durham being,, as. they say, " at leisure," accepts.a,new appointment, and exchanges the frozeh regions of the north for the not less wintry wilds of the west. Whether the noblarlord.will-acquire greater fames nu the St-Lawrence than his exploits on the Neva. have yielded him, remains to be seen. He has at least this consolation and encouragment, that the effort to ac complish that need , not be very great.- Tiretklohn Ball, in Illusion to the honourable member .for Kilkenny's Canadian politics, elescribes.him as a per son " Who. as the evening papers tell us, was, with two or three of his patriotic friends, expected. one night last week on a .visit to the Duke of Wellington—not at %Val, mer,..ovat Si..rathlieklsaye, but at another of •his Grace's establishments on-tire banks of the Thames." By the bye, t he crowd assembled on T o wer hill up on th e occa w sion in question, seems to have been brought together by ai common• feeling of probability—no bad guide on mans , OCcagions. .• • . • . .r 0»e difficulty presents itself relative to Lord Durham's Canadian i»ission, which does not yet appear to have been adverted to ; and it is, that it is most probable be arrival there the whigs who sent. hint will be out of Office. • In-this case hat is to become of the high commissioner; commander-in chief, vice -admiral,• &c. Surely all' these•high-sounding titles will not induce the conservativesio accept" him as an hen-4901n. Should such be,llie case Ins lordship's. campaign, like.that_of a certain other great commander, will_have consisted in 4 ‘ marching up the bill and down again." THE BALLOT. (From the London Times.) The last - argument we offer in condemnation of secret voting-mitts - irreligious, and immoral tendency—is one which we• are quite aware will have little. weight with tile principal advocates of the project; but it is just on this account that we press the argument the more ear nestly upon soch men as Sir George Sinclair and others, whin may he capable of appreciating its importance, and willing to bow to its authority. As Christians are enjoined to be patterns of every personal, social, and political virtue, so : in the discharge of duty they are not only warned against :yielding to " theism- of -me;: which bringeth a snare," but they are bothird to "renounce the hidden things of dishonesty," and to let their . "light so shine before men that others may behold their g oo d wor k s, " an d . be instructed by their example. Now, without pretending., .to indite a homily upon tots su.)lect, we may be excused for suggesting. that tlteexeiciseoi - •cowardice or concealment in regard to any action aPci;ng the public interests were to go directly in the teeth of these obligations, because, be the action good or.bad, the cause of virtue must eqmally,suf fer, from secresy; - being deprived of, a salutary example in The one cuse; and of the • means of- exposure in the other. In all cases of . contested. elections the character and qualifications of .canditlates,must, necessarily. be a test of the moral discernment and political integrity of voters... • If aChristian,lcting -conscientiously.; find it a right thing, to str : rport or reject a particular candidate, (no matter whether Mr. Pownall or Joseph Hume,), the in terests of. religion, according to. ,his. own views, be lie chwrchtnan or dissenter, conservative or liberalist,•impe 7 ratively verjoi , e that he should giveurn open tes;imony, in :order that toe di.oinctions between truth and error, wi! 1 01n and Coll v, moiai;tv and vice, piety and sectarian ism, may, noi he,confounded and lost. Assuming, Then, that every elector is desirous to give a virtuous rote fur the'benelit of the commonwealth, publicity-is obviously essential coy the full accomplishment - of his purpose. The secrecy pf his suffrage would denude ; it of, ail the moral or exemplary inlitience. that ought to attach to every vir loons action. On thesupposition,for iustance, that Dr. Pve Smith had possessed no means of recording if an Open - aniraer the conscientious vote' which he re c-btly 2014! 'n favour of Joseph Hume, it is evident that the-eNeelence of Joseph's character, the. uprightness of voling that bruck is while, 'the. propriety. of designating a leeislative recognition of Divine Providence as. cart/ add heti , g, toe duty of encouraging the Canadians to thiow off the :Janeftil domination of the m o th e r country , and the spirituality of establishing the ballot nor the pro tecilinanf •perfidy and ingratitu:le—it is evident, we say, that'had . tire'Doetor's tote been a -secret. one, his high publiC sanction in favour of these matters, which he doubtless believes to be in accordance with the w o rd 0 ( Goof, would have been lost; the world would.. not have. hacithe. advantage of knowing that Dr. Smith considers Joseph Horne a better public character than Mr. Pow mail; and consequently more worthy of a Christianssop. port and imitation; and the light of. the Hotnei ion Ga maliel would, have been so prevented`froni sit;,/id.,, as neirirer to reprove the wickedness of.the Protestant con stitoenev 14idlilese%, nor to ratify the choke of tile 1 3 ,50istr vhi erg or liillennv. In short, ,viewing Christi ans as "tire chqdren of the light and of the day," the ballot. w,01,41t1 maniresilv.restrict the operation of an portrtai -law of the Redeemer. :'in-whntever way , the votes of electors maybe aettplly - gi Yen at the piici..ing-ploce, as proposed ht Mt% 6 ''. 411 r 4 , no. ortson can pretend that promises will nos be etacietlun4r the contemplated system as inexorably as at , present. , Rio-device can possibly prevent this; and the-same disability to• nitlthold pledges, which is sup.. prised to be the bane of the existing plan, most he equally felt, uncleianv new arrangement, as long as the gentry 441 deal With tradesmen, or let their firms to tenants. Onserve, we are not now questioning the facilities wirich the bailor artrris for breaking those promises. To the lovers of "tile hidden s" of dishonesty" we may niomeniatily concet4 that its folds for coveting them in thick daiLaess are impenetrable. But we are lerion;ng, at present with ieligious men: audio reference to .such persons, we are.enritied to maintain, broadly and abso linelv, that whenever a promise is really given, they ale bound at all sacrisces to fulfil it. We frankly own, how ever, that although there is no moral turpitude in moVely asking. a promise, theme must he very serious guilt in giving it contra, yto •one's conscience. The utmost cir cumspection and independence should be exercised in listening to applications for a vote, and still mote in fa- V-orreing them: A high. sense of. duty should be the de termining. principle in all such cases. The power of an arialicant In injure •a voter forum a cogent reason: why the latter should nut permit his.conscience to be ensnared by a mere regard to his worldly interests. To resist every solicitation, threat, or bribe,. is the bbunden dirty of ever, upright elector whose convictions of, propriety arty opposed to such influences. But when once his prO•.. miss is - actually given, there is no conceivable plea. that can justify its violation. The ballot may cloak his du plicity, and the confessional may pretend to absolve it ; yet, as long as the " man that sweareth to his hurt and changeth not" is declarer! in- Scripture (1516 Psalm) to be an Object of Divine approbation. it is plain that the rule involved in such applauded fidelity Must be impera tive upon every ,professlir of Christianity . and, conse quen!lvi. asno device-can be found to prevent lice asi,;ng, and giving of promises, no e:Tedient.can be Fe.orirci to, (!insi'stenrfb with religious principle, to secute impunity for their infringement. • Finally, the ballot can be viewed by Christians. no otherwise than as -a dexterous contrivance to protect a ittran'S worldly interests at the expense of .iris integrity. We have already seen that the e%action -:and .giving of promises cannot possibly be prevented. 7 Now, an elector will either be disposed to vote according to his promise, Or he'! will nut. We therefore contend, that as in.the one case there is no neceBsity for concealment, so in the other there ought to be no protection for treachery. A cowardly and mercenary promise is bad enough ; a base andlkulking violation of it is still worse ;. but an ela borate and legalized plan to facilitate such doings is. worstuf all: it is a systematic plot against truth and tighteonsness If any serious person support.the ballot, whether chutchman or dissenter, he is " doing evil that good may come ;" albeit, with the additional aggrava tion., that the evil thereof is as palpable as the good is doubtful, even were it fully realized. The way for religious men to test the•thing is to take ,actual case of evely•day occurrence. Sir George So-andsSo is a candidate for the stOrages of a large con atitnenev. Mr. Thingunibob, the boot,maker, a member orShepheed's-market meeting-house, whose•minister has . iefus:.d to pay his church:rates, works for him. The ba ronet's committee beset Thingumbob for his vote, who, wnxiiins to teep both his customer and his consci ence, permits his name to be booked among Sir George's pledged supporters. *Nay, rte. must even enrol himself On one a em plover's parochial. committees. He does attends ail-its meetings, is-privy to -all its,coun ells, busies himself in sending out cirentars, and does all *hat mist bootibaker: can do in, apparent.furthetance of tit patron- 1 s int'er'ests. But when• the day of .balloting terrivek, the - unhappy tradesman's dissent Bets the better of his honesty, and he blackballs the candidate whom he baK"ptoresseil to support..., The ethics of Shepherd's Irigri/i'rPrkrail:over: the morals of the 15th Psalm. r If any Christian' can either prevent this under the ballot system or vindicate it, we respectfully invite him to try - • •x s-t his ingenuity : while, as such instances of 'cip would neither be accidental accompaniments of the plan, nor of rare and unusual occurrence, but would ra , i,er constitute its proper, inevitable, and intended fruits, no thing more need be added to consign it to the loatuing of every well-regulated mind. LIVERPOOL MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. LECTURES ON CHEMISTRY On Wednesday se'nnight Dr. Kane delivered his fifth lecture. We saw, ire the last lecture, that by the direct combination ot sulphur with oxygen we can only succeed in uniting two equi valents of oxygen to one of sulphur ; and that this product is sulphimius acid. When we wish to produce the body which contains the most oxygen united with sulphur, we are obliged to have recourse to indirect methods, and to supply the oxygen from othersourCes than atmospheric airor oxygen in a state of isolation. The discovery of sulphuric acid belongs to a very early period of chemistry, but it was then obtained in a manner so circuitous and exclusive as to prevent its general introduction into the ens. If we mix with:sulphur a quantity of saltpetre, and set fire to them under a bell glass, a rapid combustion ensues, and we find,.as an experimental result, that the.sulphur is converted into sulphuric, instead of sulphurous acid. In this .way the manufacture of sulphuric acid wan carriedou formerly; and when the fumes which arose, were condeused in, the water at the bottom of the bell, and the solutinu further concentrated by boiling, an oily-leoking, liquid was obtained, so,oily as, to have borne in commerce the name of "oil of sulphur, by means of the bell." After a short time it was found to be identical with a similar liquid, obtained asoil of vitriol,under which came strong sulphuric arid is spoken of in commerce., When .we cousider the circumstances under which the acid is generated, in "his experiment, we are led to a very simple andapparently plausible means of. explaining its .action, We conceive.;tbat by the burning of sulphur in common air we have.sulphurous.acid, sulphurcoinbined,w . ah two equivalents of oxygen. Now when we reflect that •there are few, birdies which contain so much oxygen as saltpetre, or. give it out,so freely, it appears to us very natural that the additional atom of oxygen . requisite for the . formation of sulphuric acid. is derived from the saltpet re, .end by this means. we obtain the co mbination of sulphuric acid or sul phur iu combination with three atoms of oxygen. Such was the theory to which chemists in the first Instance were led. The change which scientific opiniun.has undergone as to the forma-, tion of sulphuric acid deserves to be remembered and carefully studied, as au-example of the consequences into which we may be led by listening to an argument which is most frequently.. made use of, that nature is always simple in her operatio r ns, and that when we are capable of seizing upon the principles which regulat,.s the action of natural.bielies en cacti ether, they are the simplest that can be imagined, and that bodies always enter into 'combination on the sen West principles. You wiltsee that the theory of the formation of sulphuric acid, as previously de scribed, is exceediugly quantity of oxygen passes from one burly to another. Yet we .find that the Instant we apply ourself to the determination of quantities, it k necessary to abandon this simple hypothesis, apd altogether to adopt one of the most complicated but,yet one of the most beatitifultheirries of combination with which we are acquainted, in order to solve the pi inciple. There is nothing inure beautiful than the study, of tklid problem. .Dr. Kane then exhibited an apparatus 'lbis-. tracing the interthediate phenomena which take place in the preparatiou . ,of sulphuric acid, which are of so traosjtory a na ture its to escape observation under ordinary circumstances,, but .which, by tneaus of the apparatus used by-Dr. Kane were self; evident. .It consisted of a wouife!ii bottle, with three apertures, the one in the Middle proceeding from the top . of the battle,. open to the atmosphere, .and the te.o others in the centre of the sides of the bottle having the necks of a couple of rebuts inserted into them. Into. the one retort was poured, quicksilvecand oil of vitriol; and into the other su , ar and nil l acid. By applying,a strohe, heat to the first retort, the quiet;, silver is oxydized, and sulphurous acid flews into the, Woolte's, bottle. Th e immediate resultof the admixture of the,hitric acid with sugar is, that by the application of a gentle,heat, the acid is deprived ofa certain quautily of oxygen, and,nitrous acid pass es into the Wirritfe's bottle,, which, by the addition of the oxygen , of the atmospheric air which enters the woolfe's bottle by the central openink.r, is converted into hypo-nitrous acid. Now let us consider what takes place under a bell glass in which nitre add sulphur are inflamed. One part of nitre is used to ten of sulphur. According to the. old theory, the oxygen, was trans ferred Imre the nitre directly to the sulphur. Now, to. form sulphurous acid, ten parts ot sulphur, unite with ten of oxygen. 'lO pass to the condition of sulphuric acid, half as much, mere oxygen is required. 'Therefore, ten times as much oxygen is required to convert the sulphurous acid into. sulphuric acid as, the nitre introduced contains.. This puts an end to,the theory, apparently so simple, that the oxygen passes from the nitrean the sulphur. But what dues take place, the portion pf sulphur in contact, with the nitre,deflagrates, and, is at once converted by *cembining. with hxygen to.the state of sulphuric acid. Thia, sulphuric acid seizes. upon the potash of the nitre, and there are generated those red Nines which-we get in . this experiment by, another process. The nitre having been thus recoosiructed,. the remainder of the sulphur burns as if no nitre. had been pre sent at all; but the nitrous acid formed mixes with the sulp(iur-' ous acid. , If the fumes he dry, there is no actimi.vvhatever. but' if there be a small quantity of water, theawO gasea react epee each other, they combine with the, water, and the , result is a crystallized substance, which is deposited at the bottom of thel vessel. 'lbis solid, matter, by coming into contact with water, is decomposed. Let us consider fur a moment the result of the admixture of the vent' .small quantity of the red fumes with, a large quantity of sulphurous acid gas. The red fumes must condense immediately a, small quantity of the sulphurous acid to forin.a small quantity of solid. matter, whirl). it decomposed and gives back. the nitric oxide ) , which, taking a:fiesh supply,' from the atmospheric air, again seizes upon more sulphuro us acid, is again precipitated; and, it, to practice, this process. could'he carried on without loss, we should tiud:thet a grain of ultra ,night, Ity. a .series of successive ,reactions, convert into . sulphuric acid 101 X) tons of brimstone. The nitre does not acidify the sulphur by yielding to it its own oxygen, but, by a sort fu carrying trade, transfers from the atmospheric,air whole car-, goes of oxygen gas to the sulphurous acid, ,which, by itself, would be incapable of uniting,with it. We here see the opera tion carried en in glass vessels, but practically the operation is carried on in. a different way. Instead of a bell glass, we have a great number of leaden chambers, the bidtorn of which con taps water. Oil of vitriol cannot he obtained in a coecentrat- ed form by this process- The concentration is, in the first in stance, effected by expelling the superfluous water byrneaus of a retort of lead. But,as the oil.of viiriol becomes stronger, ,its boiling point rises until it nearly, reaches the boiling pOint of lead. - It then becomes necessary to carry on the concentration to the felt extent in vessels,of glass .or .platinum. The latter, , notwithstanding its expense, is vreferred, the breakage of glass, being so enormous. Ou the Coiuiuent the. su.phu tic acid made{ in thele leaden chambers isspoken of as English sulphuric acid. Its usual density' is ab0ut.1.845. It has a p e culi ar o i l feel, and isintensely corrosive. corrosive properties• of - aulOhoric . ! acid, generally speaking ' depend s upon, the affinity Which it • possesses for .water. If .a small quantity of thread be placed , aroutid a ves,el.containing sulphuric acid so ,as to •press small pieces of phosphorus ito the surface of the. vessel, the beat generated by . the -admixture. of the water with the sulphuric acid will be enough to inflame the phosphorus. Wneu dies combine with very great energy, the consequence is, the evolittion of an intense degree of heal. Solidi:l'6c acid is corro- 'sive to organic inciter in eouseqUeuce of its intense affinity • • for water, as it not merely possesses the character of uniting with water wherever it timls it, but wherever it marts with a 'body possessing in its composition the constituents of water —it not only seizes upon .the..water it 'may ,possess already 'formed, but it always breaks up the arrangements or that body to re-arrange them so that the elements may Combine to form water.' Thus, if a small quatrtity of sugar be moistened with water, and a small qUantity of sulphuric acid poured upon it, the mixture becomes black, and effervesces so violently,' as-to raise the mass to a considerabl e h e i ght in the vessel containing it. Sugar is composed of 12 equivalents of carl,on, 1I ui hy drogen, a nd 11 of oxygen, Now as one atom of oxvgen, and and one of hydrogen will form water, the whole of the oxygen and hydrogen of the sugar combities• to form water. Sugar does not contain so much water, but the sulphiiric arid breaks up the constitution of the sugar, and we can obtain the carbon perfectly free, as from wood. All organic substances contain carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, therefore if sulphuric acid is thrown upon the body ()laity individual, it reacts upon the skin as upon the sugar to form water, and as sulphuric acid always causes heat when it unites with water, occasioning the intense burning feel which acco m p an i es i ts action. Su l p h ur i c ac i d h as • been taken as a poison, in which cases the interior of the sto mach is converted into a black substance or carbon. The soapy feel of the sulphuric acid arises from the commencement of the decomphsition of the skin. Our oil 'of vitriol is called the English oil of vitriol by the natives of the continent, to distin guish it from the German oil of vitriol which is manufactured in a different manner. Sulphate of iron is put into an earthen ware retort, and distilled at a full red heat. The copperas is de composed, and oxide of iron remains as a brown powder in the retort and a thick liquid distils, over which is sulphorir acid of a dark colour. When exposed to the atmosphere tnis acid gives out copious white fumes, which the English oil of vitriol does nut. On this account it is termed fuming sulphuric acid, or Nordhausen acid, from the town in Hanover in which its manufacture is carried nn. When this acid is used it gives out copious white fumes, which is sulphuric acid free from water. Now this'dry sulphuric acid is volatile, and its vapour is cillonr less but it 'has-such a •powerful affinity for water that it . unites , . with the -Moisture usually floating' in the atmosphere. Sul phuric acid is one of the strongest buses we know of; if a drop of it be mixed with a large quantity of the infusion of red cab bage it changes it to a red colour. The red cabbage. infusion is one of the most delicate tests for an acid. Tbe . acid. proper ties of snlphurie acid may be rendered very evident by taking a few pieces of well burnt lime and placing them in the neck of a retort emit Sining some of the German oil of vitriol,• By.a.pply - ing wheat the dry sulphuric acid will be disengaged, which will combnie so powerfully - with the lime as to raise it .to a red heat, and present a combustion as intense as that of lime . and oxygen. Combustion, in chemistry, is indepenitent of any particular body; thus, in chemistry, sttlphurie acid, is towards lime, just as-much a supporter of combustion, as oxygen is to jinn wire or a candle: Sulphuric acid is characterized for its Affinity. for of these bas es it • forms some compounzls bases, and with sonic which are sparingly soluble or insoluble in water, which we make use of as test for the detection of sulphuric acid. .Upon adding a solution containing barytes, to a solution containing a few drops of Sulphuric acid, we immediately get a white lire. cipitate, which is a combination of sulphuric acid with barytes, and a 'perfectly insoluble salt.- If we take, in the same manner, a quantity of liquor; -containing some sulphuric acid, and add to it a solution containing lead, we get a copious while pi eci pitate. consisting of a combination of sulphuric acid with oxide of lead. T hese tests are both of extreme delicacy, and by their means, an exceedingly small quantity of sulphuric acid may be determined. Sulphur unites with hydrogen in two proportions, one of w hi c h i s gasehns - a nd. the other liquid, the gaseous subsvance is weH known by the name of sulphuretted .hydrogen, and the other is the bi sulphuret of hydrogen. We.shall only occupy ourselves the gas, as the other is of no importance. Sulphur stied hydrogen is not an uncommon natural praluction. Am monia has been described as the result of the decomposition ul animal matters. Now there are a great number of animal matters which not only' contain carbon hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, but also sulphur. One of the most: remarkable in stances of this is the yolk of an egg. Sulphur-has the property of combining with metals and blackening them, this is the rea son why our silver spoons are tarnished when employed fur eating eys. If we leave the yolk of an egg te- itself, aner.the chick Iragrdied the law of vitality ceases and that of chemistry comes into its place. Putrifaction ensues and the consequence is that the sulphur unites with the hydrogen in the .yolk, and we hate sulphuretted hydrogen, which is the gas to which rotten eggs are indebted for their disagreeable odour. We can get sulphuretted hydrogen in a variety of chemical ways, of which two are interesting. If iron is heated with sulphur, it combines ith it and forms sulphuret of iron or iron pyrite. When this is heated with sulphuric a cid; decomposition ensues, the oxygen goes over to the iron and the sulphur unites with the hydrogen to form sulphuretted hydrogen. 'I 'he other method, is by treat ing. sulphuret of antimony with muriatte acid ; when the chlorine will unite with the antim o and the hydrogen. with the sul phur. Sulphuretted hydrogen i s absorbed by water, ands it is consequently not collected over water. It dues not differ much in weight from atmosptielic air, and thetefore cannot be.n.b taiued in the manner adapted for sulphureous acid or am= Dig ‘LIVERPOOL - • - moniacal gas, if i§therefore . ColleeterfO'vei Vine. When collected in this way, it is a colourless gas quite transparent. lts odour at once recognises it. It burns with a beautiful blue flame ; but as the hydrogen burns with considerable rapidit y. a considerable quantity of sulphur is consumed, but by allowing a considerahla quantity of atmospheric air to be mingled 14'1111 it befare cton ousti;m, the whole is burned with a beautiful viutet-coloured 'flame, Hydrogen has a much greater affinity for chlorine than it has for sulphur, and the cunsr-quence is, that whenever chlorine is presented to sulphuretted hydrogen the hydrogen' leaves the sulphur which is then deposited and unites with the, chlorine. This is a test in the analyzation of sulphu vetted hy drogen; and it, is also used to free the air of any of it which may be present. For this latter purpose it is exceedingly ica portant as.sulphuretted hydrogen is highly poisonous, and inaos , persons have met their death through inhaling it. Sulphuretted hydrogen can be, recognised in a great variety of ways: It is soluble in water, and ,we make use, of this solution in the labo. ratoryfOr the purpose of detecting metallic bodies with which it forms a number of salts; the sulphur acting upon the petal and the hydrogen upon its oxygen. Solutions containing lead are immediately blackened by the addition of a solution or this gas, so that adulterations of lead indifferent liquids may he readily detected.. 11. we 'add the solution of the gas to a solution con taining corrosive sublimate it is immediately turned black. 'lt is one of the best tests for quicksilver that we have. If we add it to a solutiOn containing arsenic,. the latter is instantly preci pitated as a yellow powder,--the orpiment of commerce. Tar tar emetic is distinguished by the dark orange-coloineet tale which sulphuretted hydrogen causes. By Means ol such a number it characters, sulphuretted•hydrogen is a very easy sub stance to distinguish; and *e isave'no difficulty in •defeding is presence. The next substance to w hi c h it i s necessary t o di rec t ou r at tention is one of the mostimportant, considered both in a theo reticalas in a practical point of view. It is the substance called chlorine, which was by its discoverer termed dephlogistictired "murialic acid. It gut this name ill 'conseqUenee of the ceinai k - able view which its di , icoverer entertained, that the "muriatic acid In the preparation. of the chlorine was derived of nlrgis ton. Phlogiston plaYkl the part iif hydrogen, and we and *Hai this idea' of the discoverer of chlorine was correrlt,, awl brat chlorine was muriatic acid deprived of hydrogen. At a time when chemistry held the highest rank amongst the 'ElPiiiir . e s • and engaged' by far the greatest part of the scientific or Europe 'in ito study, a period of bril)ittney which has neyee suwe been eqoallerl, :mil perhaps never *ill, there existed in a rentitie part of Sweden an apothecary's apprentice, • ilespi.ed he his master and not thought any [himg of by his countrymen, whose erretni . cal studies were made iry stealtftin the ba'cli kitchen of his nos is hous-. Th•a Mau studied silently, and in one Orr ,rift ht forward fonr of the ,mos.t important sulrst.tnces with, which chemistry , is acquainted, viz: oxygr;n, chlorine, b a ri u m, and mingatiese. Utiencouraged and uninstructed; and 'tinder cir cuurstances the most unfavourable, Scheele raised himself to the rank of the first European tutu of science, and is an exam ple to those who *ill 'u n der go th e l a b our o f studying 'science. l'he name chlorine,wasgiven to this gas by Sir Ilituiphry Davy, 'and it constituted likewise one of the most'brilriant departments of his triumphs. The original name given to it by Scheele was abandoned ,nport — the ',announcement Of 'the discovery which LaYoisier had made of the constitution of this gas, and the 'name of 'oxyniuriati'cgas was given to it. 'lt was iirterwaids perceived .not to have Any ux}gcn gas in its constituilon, and chemists now adopt ibe original view of Scheete, changing the flame phlogiston to that of hydrOkin: It is' only becesSary• to take any superior oxide which is capat•le of giving off gen, such as we use for obtaining oxygen, and pour upon it rouria tic acid, when the' hydrogeh of the touristic acid will Unite with' the oxygen of the metal to form water, and the chlorine will unite with the metal, By means of heat the chlorine isilisen gaged front the metal, and tibia inedlor experiment. The black ()Woof manganese is generally employed for toe purpose of . burning, chlorine. This gas is neary two and a half times as heavy,as atmospheric air. It is collected over warm water or brine, as cold water rapidly atisorl; it. aid it unites with quick- - silver to form calomel., 'l i ne name chlorine was given' to the gas by Sir tI. Davy iu ciintreqiitiice of its greenish yellow lour. As the gas is exceedingly irritating to the lungs when inhaled, great care should be taken in operating upon this ! gas. Chlorine possesses a remarkable analogy to oxygeri in ti's power of supporting critribust ion. If a piece of paper is dipped into oil or turpentine and immersed in chlorine it will be in, flamed. The affinity of bodies - 'forchlo'rine is at' least 'equal ter their affinity tnr oxygen, and in stone instances much more so, the bodies burning sp ontaneously in chl or i ne where they tec iu i re to be ignited to burn in ony.jen gas, If the metal an.iibonY, • or Dutch leaf s be dropped into r'blotine, in a state of minute divlsjou, they are heated to whiteness, from the energy of their Combination with the gas. GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY. I The following^ are the most importantpalts or the report pre seated at the first general meeting of proprietors the (:rand ' Junction Railway, after the opening of the railway for the conveyance of passengers, held at Live.nou! on Wednesday toe 17th instant. "The statement which the directors have to lay before proprietors, at, the close of six mouths' operations, w4l, it is hoped, be ound satisfactory and encouraging. "During this period, the income has been dvived from the coaching business, .which it was thought desirable to render in the first place as complete as possible, and to sectire an abundance of engine power, before the carriage ofgoods was undertaken.

In ihe arrival of 'the first morning trains from Birmingham ' some delays have taken place,. caused by their waiting upwards otthitty minutes, on the average; for the London snails, which, Tor several weeks past, have not been able to keep their appointed time into Birmingham. With respect to the arrivals in general, although there has been reason 'to regret many disappointments, arising from various causes, some of which are removed, and others greatly diminished, it is on the whole satisfactory to !e'er to the fact,; that of 1,600 first-class trains, 1,133 have kept time accurately ;, 1,193 have not exceeded thirtrminutes beyond the exact time; and that, including all deteutieus w bateVer, the 1 average orate whole is ouly four hours forty-five minutes, which is considerably less ihau one-halt the time formerly oecupied in I iicrfortning the distance. "The state of the road is highly satisfactory; the only casu ally worthy of remark having occured to'some land arches in I Arpley embankment, near Warrington, which were carried away In the unusually heavy flood of the 21st of December.
