Vottrp. A HIGH-PRESSURE STEAM SONNET. To frame a sonnet must the iron sweat Of immortality be made to flow In mountain streams, down the most giant brow Of genius, ere the engineer can fret Its jarring joints together; ti:l complete, 'All on a sudden will to ruin go A moment's pause from toil if be allow, It's back recoiling springs at once onset ; But made compact the slowly modelled mass To Time's all cankering tooth defiance bids, And Fame repays at length the o'erlaboured brain ; More durable than monumental brass, And loftier than regal pyramids, Once wrought the work eternal doth remain. MORNING: A DESCRIPTIVE SONNET. From his blue chambers, lo ! the awakened Su❑ Looks forth; again he o'er the healthy mountains lifts His herald radiance; and the darkness drifts In massy flakes away; for stars have run Their watchlight rounds; and Cynthia, pale and wan, Slow wanes away between the cloudy rifts Of Heaven's high scenery; and Nature shifts Her sable garments; and with night are gone From churchyard revelries the goules and ghosts; And clouds of brighter woof are seen to swim Upon the far horizon's dusty rim, Mantling with silver veil the heavenly ghosts; Till—sailing up yon sea of light—behold! Within his rays he shines a Spirit lumped in gold ! THE DESTINY OF GENIUS: lIETEROCLITE SONNET. He knew the office given him here on eaith As that of one whose name would never die, Was higher in its function and its worth Than that of those with whom he could not vie, Except in virtues by the world unprized; And at the mercy of the mean to lie He knew to be the doom for him devised, Because his sight brought future ages nigh Whose brightness blinded him to present scenes; And therefore for their pity cared he not, Bat in contentment with his lowly lot Endured and hoped as one whom Wisdom weans From idle cares and hopes and fears, which they Expected would detain him on his way. SAMUEL GOWER. RETROSPECTION. How mellow'd down by time and recollection Are things long past, that once were bright and fair, How much we lose, and gain, too, by reflection— It tells us what we were, and what we are. It tells us hopes that long the bosom cherish'd Are doom'cl to wither ere they're half matured, That all the day-dreams of our youth have perish'd, And not one heart-fulfilling wish secured. It tells of many, whom he loved, departed— It holds a mirror to our tear-fill'd eyes, In which we view, as if to life had started Those who have long been tenants of the skies. Their forms, their features, rise again before us, We clasp chimera in a warm embrace, Until the sad reality comes o'er us— Then dark and dreary seems the vacant space. And what in this world answers expectation ? What pleases most still palls upon the taste; Pleasure is but a cheating speculation Which lays our virtues and affections waste; And disappointment like a blight hangs round us, And love is but a sweeter name for pain, And Friendship in her silver link has bound us, Only to break, and never knit again. 'Tis thus we find each earthly tie must sever; And fades that's fairest to our dazzled sight, For all is changeful, but that bright for eve,' Which reigns in realms of everlasting light. ( The New Monthly Magazine.) ANTI-CHURCH-RATE AGITATION. ( From the Morning Herald.) An anti-church-rate meeting was held at Birmingham on Monday last. It was presided over by Mr. Scholefield, the high bailiff. The usual portion of cant was, it is scarcely necessary to add, poured forth on the occasion, by the princi pal speakers. Mr. Joseph Sturge, who would seem to have been the ringleader in this conspiracy against the established church, held forth in the following pharisaical style:— " lie told them that he had opposed church-rates all his life from _principle, as a proof of which he had sup , ed his goods to be taken out of his house rather than pay them; and, viewing them as a legal robbery, be should consider it his duty to join in takiug any legal exception to the mode in which the present rates had been imposed. (Cheers.)" Church-rates are, according to Mr. Sturge, " a legal rob bery." All property, as well as church-rates, is the creature of law; and there are to be found men who declare the insti tution of private property, in all its forms, to be nothing less than a huge robbery, perpetrated by thecunning and success ful few, upon the great mass of mankind ! Mr. Joseph Sturge's views as a reformer do not extend, we dare say, quite so far as those of the sect to which we have alluded. The reason may be, perhaps, that Mr. Joseph Sturge him self possesses considerable property. Yet .the mere opinion of Mr. Joseph Sturge is entitled to no more weight than is the opinion of those whose notions of reform extend, in the matter of property, so much farther than his own. The same right which he possesses to denounce any portion of church property as the fruit of " legal robbery," will entitle re formers of another school to denounce Mr. Sturge himself as a " robber" under the forms of law ! But Mr. Sturge states, as a proof of his "principle," that " he has suffered his goods to be taken out of his house, rather than pay" church rates! Truly, this proof of " princi ple" is somewhat equivocal in its character, ui, if it be out, England, at all events, has never lacked a host of men, who " carry out" that " principle" to its uttermost extent by sys tematically refusing payment of all debts whatever. Our gaols are crowded with men whose " principle" impels theta to " let their goods be taken" rather than satisfy the claims of their creditors; and, if Mr. Sturge's ethical code be a true one, there is not a fraudulent debtor in the country who may not boast of having afforded the highest practical illustration of anti-church-rate morality ! There are yet other grounds on which Mr. Joseph Sturge desires to rest his opposition to church-rates! " They did so on two grounds ; first, because they regarded that impost as a violation of justice; and secondly, and prin cipally because it was a violation of the rights of conscience. (Hear.) Some of their episcopalian friends thought they were rather factious in this their opposition to church rates; but if they would place themselves for a moment in their situa tion, and suppose that the catholic:, or independents, or bap tists, or quakers, or any other body of dissenters got the upper hand, and imposed a compulsory and exclusive rate for the support of that peculiar form of worship which they approved of, they would soon see the force of the objection which dis senters now entertained against the payment of this tax." (Cheers.) If one set of men may escape the payment of a legal debt to the established church, on the ground that the "rights of conscience" will be violated by conformity with the law, it becomes somewhat difficult to understand why the plea in volved in the phrase " rights of conscience" should not be allowed to operate as a bar to the enforcement of every legal obligation whatever. The metaphysical " tights of consci ence" never take so questionable a shape, as when their vin dication brings with it some wordly advantage. We read in holy writ of " sufferers for conscience sake;"—but we do not remember lo have met with any allusion to the possi bility of rendering " conscience" a matter of profitable commodity. Nor let it be supposed that the smallness of the pecuniary stake at issue in tnis question of church rates de prives the opposition to these rates of its wordly character ! Love of money is not the only form of worldliness. The gratification of sectarian pride must be taken into account ; nor must the increased weight of influence which the various orders of dissenting teachers may hope to gain by the over throw of the established church be omitted from our calcu lations. The Church of England has, for centuries past, preserved ecclesiastical learning at a very high level. Im perfectly skilled in the literature of past ages as the great body of dissenting teachers happens to be, still their re sources in that kind are much more ample than they would have been, but for the influence of the Established Church. The endowments of the church afford to her ministers vast facilities in the acquisition of recondite knowledge; and amongst these ministers, accordingly, there have always been men whose stupendous attainments have thrown into the shade the acquirements of the far less perfectly educated dissenters. If, however, the church could be overthrown, these disparities in clerical learning, and, consequently, in the influence of the various orders of clergymen over public opinion, would disappear. A feeling of jealousy, on the part of many dissenting teachers, of the superior learning possessedby clergymen of the established chutch, does, un doubtedly, enter largely into the organised scheme of oppo sition to tithes and church rates! The Reverend Mr. Swan followed up the arguments of Mr. Joseph Sturge with others of a like pattern. He ob served, that "'They should do unto others as they would wish others should do unto them.' Now, he desired, in all his transac tions in life with his fellow-man, to be guided by that golden —that heavenly rule. (Hear.) He did not wish the Epis copalians to defray the expense of maintaining his religion, and he (Mr. Swan) was determined that he would nut wil lingly pay for the support of the religion of another denomi nation. We are at a loss to conceive how the payment of a legal debt, by a person possessing the means, can be construed into a violation of the " golden rule," adverted to by this reverend conspirator against the church establishment. Then, as to the argument that dissenters from the church ought not to be called on to contribute to the support of the church--let us only mark the consequences to which the principle involved in that argument would, if conceded, lead. A dissenter from the national religious establishment can fairly claim no privileges, which may not be pleaded with equal force by dissenters from the soundness of our national political institutions, If conscientious objections to the con stitution of the established church were to be held sufficient to exempt every man who might urge them, from paying tithe r and church rate, and the other dues of the church, then, by , parity of reason, conscientious objections to the form or government ought to exempt every political dissenter from the necessity of contributing, directly or indirectly, to the public burdens. Under the influence of a principle so con venient, the number of " tender consciences" would, we will venture to predict, multiply to a most alarming extent. The following passage proves how readily Mr. Swan and his dissenting friends will urge against the church principles which they would resist if an attempt were made to apply them a little more extensively. " The church-rate," we ate assured, " Came from the industrious, the all-important, the pro ductive class. Why then should they be called upon to pay a compulsory rate for the maintenance of another reli gion ?' Softly ! good Mr. Swan ! There were capitalists, and men et Property of various kinds, amongst the auditory to which these things were addressed. These men of property seem to have applauded the doctiine of resistance to church rates, on the ground that church rates are levied from the "all-produc tive class" of labourers ! But are no other things levied fremlabourers which labourers might be well pleased to le . wg,possession ? Are not the profits of capital 3211 'row thThheettirtwis - •• - alT-prceinct Pre dare" in ques tion ? Has rent, in all its varieties, any other source? Why, then, is the property of the church to be exclusively denounced, because it is raised in part from the labour of the poor ? The men of property who, by their applause, sanctioned such a doctrine, were unconsciously abandoning the only ground on which their own possessions can aspire to the cbaracter of sacredness. Let but the anti-church-rate doctrine be impartially applied, an'! the institution of private property will very speedily disappear.

HEATON PARK RACES. This very attractive meetiug commenced on Wednesday last. The weather was delightfully fine and the course in beautiful order; but the attendance was nut quite equal in numbers to what we have seen on former occasions. The line and cluster of vehicles was, however, considerable, and the brightness of the sun playing upon them, and the autumnal foliage, gave great brilliancy to the scene. The minor stanu was well filled with sporting gentlemen, cud business no doubt there would be carried on pith the usual Lancashire spirit. We can, however, only speak for the doings in the ring, formed previous to each race, just below the patrician stand. Here there was a very fair dash of speculaticn, several noble lords joining freely in the transactions. A little before two, the gay party from the mansion came up the course. Lady Wilton was accompanied by Lady Seymour, in a beautiful pony phaeton, followed by other carriages. &c. The Earl of Chesterfield was not then in the circle, as he only arrived post (after the first race was run) from Birminghm. Shottly after two o'clock the bell rang for clearing the course, which was well kept, as were also the arrangements good. Mr. Orton, from York, gave the decisions as follow : WEDNESDAY.- The Stanley Stakes, of 10 sovs each. A.F. 7 subs. Lord Stanley's Miss Bowe, 4 yrs Lord Wiiton 1 Lord Suffield ns bf by H. Clinker, 3 yrs.. Col. Bouverie 2 Lord Eglinton's Black Diamond, 5 yrs Mr. White 3 Lord Wilton names Northendeo, 3 yrs .... Mr. Tongue 4 Sir J. Gerard names Stansty, 3 yrs Mr. Sirdefield 5 After several changes the odds settled at 2 to 1 agst Black Diamond, 5 to 2 agst Miss Bowe, 9 to 2 agst Northenden, 8 to 1 agst Lord Suffield (tk,) and Bto 1 agst Stansty. Miss Bowe lay in front the whole way, and finished a pretty race by a length. The Champagne Stakes, of 50 sovs each, h ft, with 50 sovs added by the town of Bolton, for two year old colts, Bst 616; fillies, Bst 31b. The second horse to save his stake. 'l'. Y.C.

Won by a neck : a dead heat for the second place. The Heaton Park Stakes, with 100 sovs added by the town of Manchester, to a Sweepstakes of 25 sovs each, 15 ft, and 5 sovs only if declared on or before the Ist of September. One mile and a half. Lord Chesterfield's bc by Priam, 7st 61b Flatman 1 Mr. Osbaldeston's b f Fairy Queen, Est 41b .. G. Francis 2 Mr. Houldsworth names et; f Rachel, ist 31b..Wakefield 3 Mr. W.

Barker 5 Mr. Antrobus names ch c Harkaway, 9st 21b Calloway fell Lord Miltown's ch f Cruiskeen, 7st Seven paid.—Much interest was excited in all classes at the result of this race, The far-famed Harkaway was the "lion" of the race. All eyes were desirous to have a peep at him, and the "Irish division," as well as many other parties, booked the gathering in another golden harvest, as a matter of certainty. He got to even betting the night previous, and 2 to 1 on him and the half-bred. Rachel had been backed largely at 6to 1. On the ring forming, we noticed one or two Corinthians going it at 30 to 20 on him, with frequent offers to support Lord Miltown at 10 to 1, which at last his lordship nibbled; takers of 10 to I against Golden Drop; 9 to 1 agst Fairy Queen taken. The fieldsmen soon increased, and took 25 to 20; then 35 to 30; Golden Drop rose; and Cruiskeen had many on the 100k -out; the Priam colt was backed by his noble owner at 5 to 1; this gave confidence, and he rose half a point. At five minutes to four the cry was " Here comes Harkaway;" we thought he went as if a little more rest would have been acceptable—he went somewhat "stumpy." At this instant the horse was at evens, we think the field had just the call; Priam at 4;. to 1; Golden Drop at 6j to 1 (taken ;) Cruiskeen at 8 to 1 (taken;) Fairy Queen appeared to us in front in passing the stand, Harkaway third or fourth. On reaching the turn, by the Manchester road, the crack fell. Several changes then took place, not to be observed from the stand. Rachel had two slips, but did not come down. At the dip, Cruiskeen and Fairy Queen held on the running, until halfway up the distance, when Nat showed in front, and won by half a length. What a blow for the cracks! Callo way, who rode Harkaway, was not hurt, nor did the horse appear to be. We understand that his legs fairly slipped from under him; the turf rather giving way, he fairly ploughed up the grass for many yards, recovering partially, and then falling in Coto on his side ; the escape to rider and horse was next to a miracle. After this race came two walks-over. The St. Leger, of 25 sovs. each, 10 ft, with 100 added by the club, 13 subscribers. The admiration of every eye, Don John, did the easy work. Nat was his pilot. Scott and he were so long in cantering round that when Lord Stanley came to the chair, to order the bell to be rung for the other 'affair, little dreaming but that the horse had passed, a wag observed to his lordship that the knowing Scott had gone to lunch at the hail.—Cardinal Puff, at half-past five, ridden by Lord Wilton, walked over for Mr. King's Cup, added to a stake of 10 soya each ; 7 paid. THURSDAY. Another lovely day—the sky scarcely stained by a cloud ; the road was thronged, and the attendance more than doubled that of the preceding day; the carriages were far more nu merous, and the show of fashion and rank also. The party from Heaton arrived in even greater style than yesterday, when the bell rang for the first event. A Piece of Gold Plate, presented by the Right Hon. the Earl of Eglinton, ar:cled to a Sweepstakes of 15 sovs each, 10 sovs ft. 'l'. Y.C. 16 subs.

The betting was all in favour of Scott's stable; offers to back it at evens. Jagger rather went back when the strength of the field was known, and 50 to 20 was betted; 6 to 1 against Potentate, and 6to 1 against Puff. A good deal of money was pending; and, at the start, 5 to 2 against Jagger, 11 to 2 agst Puff, 6 to 1 against Potentate (taken,) 11 to 1 against. Rachel, 13 to 1 agst Emu (offered,) and 13 to 1 against the half-bred, by Priam (Prizeflower.) The Squire's horse led for nearly a mile. Puff got second at the spot where Hark away fell, At the road leading from the course to Heaton The Potentate wanted to "go out." The Captain, in endea vouring to keep his position, lost ground. Previous to reach ing the distance-post, his stirrup gave way, and, by very superior jockeyship, he kept the pace. At the distance eight or nine appeared togrether ; here, however, the crack, " My Lord," and Captain White singled themselves out, and the race home was brilliant in the extreme—all hands at work. Captain Becher, in the middle, did it by a bare length. Lord Stafford broke down soon after starting. Captain Becher's riding was greatly admired : he was never headed last year, when he won the cup on Cowboy. The Dinner Stakes, of 5 soya each, with 50 sovs added by the Club, for two and three year olds. A.F.

Lord Stanley officiated for Lord Suffield as steward; and we can further state, from a channel of unquestionable authority, that this will be the last meeting at Heaton (unless another alteration should be made.) The races will in future be held at Aintree, the week after Doncaster. Lord Ches terfield has accepted the office of steward for the next Aiutrec meeting. FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER. (From the London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.) MORNING DRESS.—Redingote en gaze poll de chevre, boil colour with blue stripes; shawl of black silk, trimmed with lace; capote of white pou de soie, with ruche and bou quet of drooping roses. PROMENADE DRESS.—Robe of pou de sole, green shot, trimmed with two flounces; shawl of embroidered muslin. Leghorn bonnet, with girofle ribbons and white feathers. EVENING NEGLIGEE.—Robe of white muslin, embroidered and trimmed with a flounce, with a ruche of spotted net; small cap of British point lace with roses. EVENING DRESS. —Robe of argundy with application of heart's-ease in velvet, demi couronne of heart's-ease; short tight sleeves trimmed with British point; corsage drape in cones; necklace of pearls, with clasp of opal, mounted in diamonds, brooch to match and bracelet esclavage. Skirts continue to be worn long, and sleeves moderately wide are always most nnmerous, ornamented at the shoulders; small jockeys, or small frills, have the most vogue; tight sleeves are seldom seen unless half short, and then they are finished and ornamented in the middle by ruches or hanging trimmings ; it is thought they will be confined to velvet dresses this winter. The number of flounces worn vary sometimes as many as six narrow ones, or a single one a quarter of an ell deep, cut the straight way in muslin, organdy, &c.; but bias for Bros de Naples, rases, levautines, &c. Ceintures of wide ribbon, plaid, shaded, and jaspes, are fashionable. Currant colour is still in favour. A new style of dress for neglige, termed pagnes, has been made in Paris ; its novelty consists in the body of a redingote make, having at each shoulder a width of silk attached, which, hanging like a scarf, crosses in front, and ties behind in a nceud. A. usw esant.slat, or.mantel Assyrienoe, is just introduced, of cad:mire, embroidered in colours. l'elerines mantelets are made of various silks, lined and quilted. No great novelty is yet observable in bonnets; velvet is again seen on Leghorns, and cord is used instead of ribbon on beaver, plush, and silk bonnets of ecru colour. Aureole bonnets will be worn, the front shallow and round, the crown low, anehavolet rather deep, hut not very full; flowers made of feathers will be fashionable. Cerise, white and green, are the colours for feathers to be worn. It is generally understood that the American house of Mel ville, Wilson, and Co., are about to pay a dividend, which it is supposed will be about 6s 8d in the pound. The winding up of these firms, who were so very unfortunate as to require either an extension of time or assistance from the Bank of E.rif : tiati(l, is said to be going on most satisfactorily, and that weir guarantees are folk , satisfied, which may be construed from the fact that the dividends have been paid, or are about to be paid, to the general creditors. LIVERPOOL MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. LECTURES ON CHEMISTRY APPLIED TO THE ARTS. On Saturday evening, Dr. Robert Kane, A1.R.1.A., de livered his second lecture, upon the processes and substances employed in bleaching. On Wednesday evening, said the lecturer, owing to the breakage of the stopper of a bottle in which sulphuret of car bon was contained, I was obliged to omit a little experiment which was connected with our subject, therefore before com mencing this evening's lecture I will bring it before you. 1 have here a glass jar filled with nitric oxide, lot') which I shall pour a little of the sulphuret of carbon, and apply a taper to the mixture, o hen it will instantly ignite, and pro duce a flame of an exceedingly beautiful blue colour, and the interior surface of the jar become coated with a deposit of sul phur. Sulphuret of carbon is composed of sulphur and char coal, of which the latter enters into combination with the ni tric oxide during combustion, and the former is disengaged in a pure form. I have to-night to bring before you the process used in one of the most important branches of art—that of bleaching, by which we are enabled to deprive various fabrics of their co louring matters and other impurities with which they are combined. In the natural condition of wool, flax, cotton, and silk, they are contaminated with foreign matters which are not absolutely colourless, and in the passage of these ar ticles from the natural condition of their texture to their ul timate state, it is necessary to withdraw all such substances as are calculated to injure their appearance. We are there fore obliged to bleach them in order to make them white. The operation of bleaching is, in fact, analagous to or dinary combustion. It is less perfect and rapid, but we do not violate the rules of scientific reasoning when we state that we may reduce its operations to the state of a slow com bustion. In place of the whole of the material being burned, we arrange matters so cautiously that the foreign impurities only are burned away and consumed, whilst the vegetable or animal fibres remain as nearly as possible uninjured. We have in the science of bleaching a very nice office to perform. It is necessary for the bleacher to arrange his materials as nearly as possible in strength so as to eat away the colouring matter only, and yet to leave the fibre undestroyed. This is a very difficult art to obtain, and it has only been by the great advancement of science that the present perfection of bleaching has been arrived at. In the infancy of the art of bleaching the processes were of the most lengthened nature, in consequence of which the manufacturer had to employ an infinitely greater amount of capital than is now necessary. He was likewise subjected to meteorological and atmospher►cal influences, by which the process was limited to those countries in which the atmosphere was favourable But when the present system was discovered, the manufacturer became altogether independent of local in fluences, and if he understood the principles of the science was enabled to bleach himself. The most important substance employed in the operation of bleaching is water. Flom the earliest periods of philosophy, water was ranked as one of the elements; and we must look upon the discovery of its true composition, by Cavendish, to be one of the greatest discoveries in science which has ever been made. This philosopher proved, by several conclusive experiments, that it was a combination of oxygen and hydro gen. In order to obtain pure hydrogen, we have recourse to a vast variety of methods, all of which, however, are based upon the decomposition of water, and the abstraction of its oxygen. 'l'he constituents of water are bound together with a very powerful force; but if we bring water into contact with some substance which has a greater attraction foroxygen than hydrogen, decomposition will be effected, and the hy drogen set free. The most beautiful illustration of this is by means of the metals sodium and potassium; but for practical purposes, hydrogen is obtained through the decomposition of water, by means of iron or zinc. Hydrogen itself does not enter into the processes of the arts, and therefore we shall not dwell long upon it. Like the atmospheric air, it is com pletely colourless; but it differs from it inasmuch as it is re markably combustible, and it extinguishes flame; that is to say, it will not allow any body to burn in it. Hydrogen gives out very little light, but very great heat. If perfectly pure, its flame will be almost invisible. In order to show the little light which.hvdrogen gives out, it is only necessary to take a jar full, and apply a light to it, and you will perceive that it will inflame with a slight explosion, and that the inte rior of the glass will be covered with dew, resulting from the burning of the hydrogen. It is specifically the lightest body in nature. If we take a gallon of hydrogen, we shall find that it will weigh less than the same quantity of any other substance. On account of this principle it is applied to bal loons, which it raises through the atmosphere upon the same principle by which a cot k rises to the surface of water. This levity of hydrogen is completely illustrated by the manner in which it burns. Thus, when the jar is inverted, it takes fire with a flash, and the flames rapidly ascend ; but if the jar is inflamed beneath, the gas burns slowly at the mouth until the whole of it is consumed, the interior of the jar, in the mean while, remaining full of the hydrogen. The composition of water might be proved by a very great variety of experi ments. It consists of oxygen and hydrogen. Thus, if we take zinc, it has a snore powerful affinity fur oxygen than hydrogen, and the hydrogen is liberated, and we can set fire to it. if we simply take water and zinc, we shall have a very small quantity of hydrogen. The oxide of zinc is a very white powder, and it forms a varnish over time zinc, so as to prevent the further action of the water upon it ; but if we take a little sulphuric acid, it will unite with the oxide of zinc, and keep the metal clear, so that the action of the water upon it will go on constantly. By lighting the hydrogen as it issues from a small glass tube, and placing a larger tube over the jet, sve shall observe two phenomena. The external tube will have its interior surface bedewed with water, anti we shall hear a remarkable sound, which varies with the diameter of the tube employed. The phenninena of flame are very remarkable : the gas by which it is produced mix es with th e a t mos ph er i c a i r sur rounding the point from whence it issues, and its combus tion is accompanied by a series of explosions. In fact, all bete is made up out of a number of petty explosions so rapidly succeeding each other, that our ear become accus touted to them. But if we confine the combustion of gas within a given column of air, these explosions cause it to vibrate in the same manner as the air in the tube of an organ. The consequence of this is, that you might take a number of tubes and construct an organ by means of the ignition of hydrogen gas; indeed, several philosophers of Germany have done so. The flame of hydrogen in oxygen has been employed for the purposes of intense heat and light, under the name of the oxyhydroeen jet. The season why hydrogen produces so little lig,ht is, because its products are g t.se,,os; but it au, au:id 60• I,• • we shall find that the flame becomes immensely bright. Experiments of this kind can be usefully carried on by a little instrument called the oxyhvdrogen blow-pipe. In order to show the great necessity for caution in affairs of this kind, I shall in flame a mixture of the two gases in the proportions in which they are calculated to afford the greatest light and heat.— [Dr. Kane then set fire to the contents of a small bladder, which exploded with fearful violence.]—Nlany accidents have occurred to chemists enraged in these kind of experiments, from the explosion of large quantities of mixed gases. It is evident, that if so powerful an explosion can ensue from the combustion of such a small amount of gas, that a very great explosion must accompany the combustion of a large quan tity. The most convenient and the safest anode of using these gasses, is by means of a blow-pipe, invented by Mr. Hemming, a geutleman who has distinguished himself by se veral very remarkable improvements in chemistry. 'lhe mixed gases pass from a bladder through a cylinder, tightly stuffed with a great number of the finest wires. Where three of these wires touch there is a small triangular tube formed. ' Now, no body can inflame unless it is above a red heat; therefore, if we can take any bony which is on fire and cool it below redness, the flame will be extinguished. lithe flame of the gas attempts to pass through these tubes it will be di vided into a number of small jets, and in passing through be cooled by contact with such a mass of cold metal, and ex tinguished. Admitting, however, for argument, that the flame did pass through, it could do no serious injury beyond exploding the small bladder. By means of the hydrogen blow-pipe we can burn iron wire with amazing brilliancy. In this way a heat can be obtained far exceeding the most vio. lent which can be excited in our most powerful furnaces By urging the flame of these gases upon a piece of lime, we can produce a light almost rivalling in intensity the solar rays, which has been applied by Lieutenant Drummond to the illumination of light-houses. Thus we see that the flame of the oxyhydroe ' en blow-pipe has been applied to two of the most important put poses for which flame is required. The process of moistening fabrics, and exposing them to the atmosphere, required to be practised over and over again for a considerable period before the requisite degree of white ness was obtained. Now water consists of eight parts of oxygen gas and one part of hydrogen. Thus if we take nine parts of water, we shall find eight of them to consist of oxy gen. But under peculiar circumstances the hydrogen is able to take twice es much oxygen as it otherwise possesses, and in this form is called the deutoxide of hydrogen. This sub stance is characterised by some properties of an interesting nature, of which I shall only be able to bring before you one or two on the present occasion. It is characterised by the great ease with which it gives out its additional dose of oxy gen; indeed, so readily does this take place, that it is with difficulty we can preserve a quantity of oxygenated water for any length of time. If we put into it a portion of the black oxide of manganese, we shall find that bubbles of oxygen are expelled, which may be collected at the top. Whenever we expose water to the atmosphere, we find that it dissolves a quantity of oxygen, and this is what gives to ordinary going water its pleasing taste. If we boil water, this air is expelled from it. In fact, water analyses the air, as it takes from it the most salubrious principle, and allows the nitrogen to remain behind. If we introduce any colouring matter into this oxygenated water, we shall find that the oxygen will go to the colouring matter. Thus ' if we impart oxygen to indigo, we destroy its colour; and there are few bodies which do this more readily than oxygenated water. Water is employed in Holland for the purpose of bleaching; but the process is so slow that it requires six or seven months to complete it. The office of the water is to take oxygen from the atmosphere, and to hand it over to the colouring matter, the water merely acting the part of a go-between to the at mosphere and the colouring matter. This you will recollect is the theory of all sorts of bleaching. Science has afforded our bleachers inure rapid methods of accomplishing this office. They can now bleach their fabrics, as well as ever it could be done under the old system, in a thousand times less time. Before proceeding to illustrate the present mode of conduct ing the process of bleaching, I shall bring before you what might appear a perfect paradox if not carefully explained. I have here a glass containing a quantity of flowers of a very deep red colour. Beneath this glass I shall place a tray containing some sulphur, which I shall set fire to. Sulphur when thus burned forms sulphurous acid, and this sulphurous acid is well known as one of the substances employed in bleaching. Bleaching by this agent is the reverse of all that has been said with respect to bleaching; in fact, sul phurous acid does not bleach at all; it does not remove the colouring matter, but unites with it and forms a white com pound, und so that the colouring matter can be got back again, and there is no proper bleaching. Sulphurous acid is used in bleaching earn in stores, which is done by putting sulphur upon the fire which is used• to dry the corn. l'he corn is stored upon a succession of perforated floors one above the other, and in the lowest story are a number of fires, upon which the sulphur is thrown, and the fumes, passing up with the hot air, bleach the corn, and give to it a much better appearaoce than it would otherwise possess. In bleaching silks and straw bonnets, the same process is resorted to; but the only effect of the sulphurous acid is, that it combines with the colouring matter and generates a third body; but the colouring matter is brought back if we withdraw the sulphurous acid. After a few months' exposure, all articles bleached by this agent again become yellow, and must again undergo the bleaching if required to be white. I shall now bring Lefore you a substance used in bleaching, which is well calculated to explain the principle of the art. It is called chromate of potash, of which the beautiful crys tals before yen are from the manufactory of Mr. Kurtz, of this town. Chromate of potash consists of chromic acid and potash, and chromic acid consists of two parts of oxygen and one of chrome. If we we place chromate of potash in con tact. with vegetable or organic colouring matter ' and add an acid, we shall have this result. The acid will combine with the potash, and one portion of the chromic acid with the colouring matter. By this action the colouring matter will be bleached and the chromate of potash converted into a green oxide of chrome. If a little organic matter, say spirits of wine, be poured into a solution of chromate of potash, and then a little oil of vitriol added, we shall tind that a violent action ensues, and that the red colour of the chromate of potash will immediately disappear. The addition of a little water will turn the colour of the mixture completely green, and the spirits of wine will be found to have been converted into vinegar by the addition of the oxygen. Upon this prin ciple we could turn ale into vinegar. Chromate of potash is a beautiful example on account of the rapidity of the decom position. It is used in a variety of processes in the arts where it is necessary to bleach - locally; but, generally, it is inferior to one of the elements which far surpasses any which has been introduced into the arts, namely, chlorine. We owe the discovery of this substance to the celebrated Swedish chemist, Scheele. Chlorine is a body remarkably different froth hydrogen, inasmuch as it is a supporter of combustion and in itself incombustible. It does not, however, support the combustion of bodies in the same manner as oxygen. It is not colourless, but of a pale greenish yellow, from which circumstance Davy gave its name. If we take a little of the metal antimony and drop it into chlorine, it burns very beautifully, in fact we have a shower of sparks which arises from the combination of the chlorine with the antimony. if we introduce the metal arsenic into it, we have a stilintore splendid combnstion. Dutch metal likewise bolos in chlo rine. We thus observe that chlorine, like oxygen, supports combustion, and that those bodies which burn best in chlo rine are quite different from those which burn best in oxygen. A taper, which burns so well in oxygen, burns very faintly in chlorine; whilst metals, which do not burn in oxygen, burn spontaneously in chlorine. The preparation of chlorine is very simple. It' we take a quantity of the per-oxide of manganese, which consists of the metal manganese combined with two portions of oxygen, and add to it, in a retort, two proportions of spirits of salts, (common muriatic acid,) which consists of chlorine united to hydrogen, we shall, on the application of heat, have the following result:—The oxygen of the manganese and the hydrogen of the muriatic acid unite, and form water, whilst one-half of the chlorine remains with the metal manganese and the other flies off. In this way we obtain one-hall the chlorine which the spirits of salts contain. There area variety of other methods, of which a very beautiful one was communicated to me by my friend Mr. Wilson, who is connected with this institution as Professor of Chemistry, founded on the decomposition of the oxides of chlorine by muriatic acid. The salt termed chlorate of potash consists of six equivalents of oxygen, six of chlorine, and one of potassium. If we pour upon it muri atic acid, which is a combination of six equivalents of chlo rine and six of hydrogen, we have the oxygen and hydrogen in the proportions to form water, and all the chlorine of the muriatic acid is set free. There is this advantage attending the process that we obtain all the chlorine of the muriatic acid without any inconvenience or dirt, so that is a beautiful mode of operating for small experiments. Otherwise, from the cheapness of the black oxide of manganese it is the best adapted for operations upon an extended scale. We have for this purpose large leaden retorts, surrounded by iron jackets in such a manner that steam can be introduced be tween to heat the leaden retorts. Into these retorts the man ganese and muriatic acid are introduced, or common salt, sulphuric acid, and manganese. When either of these com binations are heated by the steam chlorine is liberated, and may be collected in proper vessels. When chlorine was first discovered it was used in the gaseous form. '!'his has since been given up in consequence of the ill effects which it produces upon the human lungs. It is now chiefly used in combinati on w ith li me or so d a . I n order to exhibit the bleaching properties of chlorine it is only necessary to perform an experiment similar to that which we have already made with the sulphurous acid. Here is a glass containing a bouquet similar to that which I first used. And here I shall show the convenience of Mr. Wilson's method of at once obtaining small quantities of chlorine without much trouble. You will find that according as the disen gagement of the chlorine proceeds that the colour of the flowers will very rapidly disappear, and we shall have in this case as complete a disengagement of the colour of the flowers as in our former experiment, with this difference, that the bleaching with the chlorine is real and permanent, that with the sulphurous acid only temporary and apparent. In the one case we shall find it impossible to restore the colour, and in the other we shall be able to do so. By immersing pieces of cloth died red with Turkey madder, or blue with indigo, in a solution of chlorine, the colours will be discharged. The presence of water is absolutely requisite to the bleaching of fabrics, for if a piece of coloured cloth is introduced into chlorine gas, deprived of moisture, no action ensues. Thus we see that chlorine itself has no power over the colouring matter, but that its action depends upon a secondary effect. It, in fact, results from there being oxygen set free, and this oxygen going to the colouring matter. Therefore, as the chlorine does not contain any oxygen the liberation of this element must be a secondary effect. Indeed, in all cases of bleaching by chlorine, there is water present, which is decomposed by the chlorine: the chlorine takes the hy drogen of the water, forming muriatic acid, whilst the oxygen of the water is thrown upon the colouring matter, which is disengaged, and we have an oxide of the colouring nu.tter formed which is in itself free from colour. Whether we use the chlorine in a gaseous or liquid state, the same effect is produced, provided water be present. If we add a little of the solution of chlorine in water to the blue infusion of cab bage, it is turned red; but it . more of the solution of chlorine is added, the colourint , matter is discharged. The fact. is, that in the process of bleaching the chlorine is converted into muriatic acid, which produces a complete reddening of the blue cabbage. Chloride of lime, which is now chiefly employed in bleach ing, is a white powder known under the name of bleaching saits. It is a substance of very irregular composition, so that it is important to any manufacturer to be in the positron to satisfy himself of its actual strength. This is done by means of a variety of processes. To the solution of chloride of lime in water a little sulphuric acid is added, by which means the chlorine is liberated from the lime, and we have what is termed a bleaching bath. The chlorine is conducted into leaden chambers, containing a number of .perforated wooden shelves, upon which the lime is placed. The lime is allowed to remain f.oni 40 to 6U hours in this situation, until it has imbibed a sufficient quantity of chlorine, when it is packed up in casks for commercial purposes Muriatic acid is generated by the action of sulphuric acid upon sea salt, which contains muriatic acid and water. Now common salt consists of chlorine and the metal sodium. When oil of vitriol is poured upon common salt, the hydro gen of the water unites with the chlorine, and the oxygen with the sodium, and the chlorine and hydrogen pass off in the state of gaseous muriatic acid. When chlorine and hy drogen are united in the proportions proper to constitute muriatic acid, they will explode in the same violent manner as oxygen and hydrogen, upon the application of flame, and touristic acid will be the product. The only remarkable pro perty of this gas is, that it is rapidly absorbed by water, so much so that it cannot like other gases be collected over water. For scientific purposes it is collected over mercury. Muriatic acid gas is transparent and colourless; it is touch heavier than atmospheric air, and if we conduct it to the bottom of a glass vessel by means of the beak of a retort, it will expel the atmospheric air, and occupy its place. if a tube, closed at one end, containing muriatic acid, is immersed with its open end in water, the latter will rapidly combine with the muriatic acid, and fill the vessel. The inuriatic acid of commerce is merely a strong solution of muriatic acid gas in water. As in the former lecture, Dr. Kane illustrated his subject by a erect an exceedingly interest ing nature. On Wednesday he will treat upon the manu factures of metals, and the mode of preserving iron from rust. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. PREFERMENTS, &c. The Rev.

The mer chants seem, however, to be in general busy. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There was much the same feeling to-day, both as to pt ice and demand, as there was last market day. There is, in short, nothing different to report. HUDDER SF I E L TUESDAY.—We have been to-day by no means so brisk as last week, and at the same time without being able to assign any reason for the great difference. A very lim►ted business, indeed, has been done. There are, how ever, various fancy goods in great request, for which full prices are made. In wools no variation. WA KEFIELD.—There has been a very brisk demand for all descriptions of combing wools; . and staplers, in consequence of the continued g oo d d eman d for the last few weeks, have this day been enabled to Obtain some advance. Other kinds steady in value, and with a fair inquiry. BRA DFORD, Tnuasuay.—There has been a tolerable busi ness doing to-day in the various deparments of piece goods; but there is no description of cloth that commands a corres ponding value with that of wool. Merchants generally only buy for orders in hand, as though they were anticipating steady pi ices through the season. Yarns. This article continues remarkably steady. The demand was much the same as for many weeks past. There has been no disposition to buy, ex cept from hand to mouth, which brings the manufacturers un usually regular into the market. Prices remain the same as for some weeks past.— Woo/. The staplers have not generally succeeded in their attempts to establish an advance, and hold ers seem now to be reconciled with the prices they have lately obtained. Rather less has changed hands this week. DEwsuuttY MARKET.—Very little business was transacted on Monday last at our blanket hall, and the manufacturers in the neighbourhood generally cnroirlain of- having little, to do and of not being able to realize a fair profit upon the little that is done. YORK WOOL MARKET, SEPT. 27.—We have had a good demand arid a fair supply of wool to this day's market, and a fair amount of business has been done, at prices steady upon our last quotations. CHESTERFIELD WOOL MARKET, SEPT. 26.—The wool market still continues in a flat and depressed state; there is no business scarcely in coarse wools, which are not upon the whole so well sold as they were a fortnight ago, the principal demand being chiefly confined to fine hog wool, which is steady. At no former period was the number of individuals cross ing the Atlantic, to and from New York, so great us it has been during the present year. HIGH Wycomos.—lt is ; reported as probable that Air.

The Butter Market, both here and in Manchester, ended very (lull last week. Belfast Butter, Ist quality, we cannot quote higher than 9Js. for the best crane inspected. Prime Kilkennys and Carlows are about the same fate, whilst inferior Waterford, Banbridge, Newry, &c. are unnoticed, though offered as low as 80s. to 83s. The pickled Butter trade is tolerably steady at 86s. 87s. and 88s. for seconds.—Holders of Beef and Pork may be more easily dealt with, as the new season approaches. The opening prices for both articles it is expected will rule moderate. There is not any alteration worthy of remark in Bacon, Hams, or Lard. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 29. The imports of British Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal have conti nued very light. From foreign ports we have received, from the 22d to the 28th instant, 7550 qrs of Wheat, and 2170 barrels of Flour, brought on to the free market at 3s.

There has yet been very little new Grain at market ; a little fine English Wheat has brought 9f. 9d. to 10s. 3d., Irish its. to 9s. 90. per 701h5.-The new Oats have consisted chiefly of a few small lots of Irish, in sacks, brought by the steamers, which have sold at 3s. to 3s. 3d. ; 3s. 40. was obtained for some fine Newry. Old Oats are worth 3s. Id. to 3s. 3d. per 451b5.-Oatmeal has met a fair sale at 275. to 275. 60. for old, 28s. to 995. per 2401 - 13 s. fur new.- Flour has also been in tolerably good demand, Irish at 50s. to 565. per 2601115., and Foreign sweet at 365. to 38s. up to 40s. per barrel for best Silesian and Danzig.-The market continues bare of Bar ley.-Beans and Peas as last noted.-The duty on Foreign Wheat is now 10s.
