We find it impos.ible to give nutre than a very brief abstract of the interesting—we may say important—mat ters connected in this geetleman's cote amnication, it con sisting of a further improvement of the principle of his former discovery of electrotype, with its practical applica tion to purposes of art, together with an account of some most curious experiments in illustration of the principle be has now so successfully applied, and showing the ex traordinary power of electrical transference. Mr. Spencer commenced by stating that the gem of the principle he was now about to lay before the society—as applied to voltaic electricity -he -had already laid before this body at their first meeting, end many months before, the paper containing the details of his discovery of elec trotype, notice of it having been given as early as the close of 1838. Although the experiment he alluded to was pub lished at the time, and subsequently in a work of his own, it had attracted no attention, except perhaps as possessing an abstraet philosophical interest. It was, however, susceptible of most important results. Before proceeding further with this branch of the subject, he took brief notice of the present state of the process of applying voltaic electricity to the metallureic arts since his discovery of its applicability. Ile also referred to the dates of his former communications to the society, to show that the principle and form of his apparatus at present employed was precisely the same that he had first brought under public notice at several meetings of that society 1839. Two‘forms of apparatus were exhibited, being those referred to as already shown to the members. lie then took notice of several patents that have been obtained for applications of his principles to several branches of art; and although it might appear, in consequence, that much improvement had taken pl.,ce, yet his patents were n erely for applications of the invention to any branch of business the party might be engaged in, without laying claim to anything more—many specifications being literally copied as respects the progress, from the pamphlet of Mr. Spencer. which was published by the society in 1839. Se veral voltaic combinations were then referred to as having a connexion with the deposition of metals—one of which was exhihited in action, it being an invention of his own, and consisting of a lead surface, made rough by mechanical means, in order to obtain a numerous series of points. It is afterwards made to receive two separate coatings of platinum. The first as solid platinum ; the second being the shine metal in the state of powder—each of which pro cesses are effected by electrical agency. The experiment alluded to at the beginning of the paper was . now brought under notice. It consisted of a piece of unconnected copper placed in a wall of moist clay, which, as a division separates two fluids' from each other, the poles of a galvanic fluid being led into each of them. After the galvanic current thus generated had been kept in action for a number of weeks, it was found that the piece of cop per had lost considerably at one end, while it had gained an equal amount at the other—yet it had no direct com munication with the battery, being merely placed in the line or wake of the current. I t was then shown that in duced electricity might be made to play an important part in the transference of Dative metals in mineral veins, although the primary current might he generated at any imaginable distance. This principle be bad now applied to the manufacture of all kinds of metallic plates, or other surfaces, but more especially those required for photo graphy—a number of splendid specimens of which were exhibiting, most exquisitely polished, yet jits: in the state they are in when removed from the galvanic trough they had been forrhed in, the apparently burnished surface be- log the result of the galvanic process without th., applica tion of labour of any sort. it was stated that plates of this description were far better fitted--from their chemical purity and equal texture of metal—for photographic pur poses, than those constructed by mechanical methods: A galvanic apparatus, with a plate i❑ the act +of form ing, was shewu—the apparatus for the construction of one, fifty, or five hundred, being of equal simplicity. We shall endeavour to render this as clelias possible without the aid of a drawing. In all galvar.ic arrangements hitherto described, it is necessary to have all the metals composing them in direct metallic communication with each other, which is effected by soldering wires, or fasten ing slips of metal to them by screws, they must be so done to etery , plate or surface present, whether positive or•ne gative—furthermore, both sides of the plates are alike acted on. To prevent this latter action various expedients have been resorted to; as for nearly all .electrotype- sr rangements, this .is an evil to be avoided. if possible. Varnishes are used for the purpose of protecting those parts that arc not=requited to be acted on. in mostcases, however, they are ineffectual, as the fluids the plates are immersed in, frequently dissolve them, it is this co n- . . plicated system of wires and screws that present such a forenidinle appearance to the uninitiated, as it also gives rise to many failures in practice. By ;the principle• Mr. Spencer now brings into action, nearly the wholeof these complicated , arrangements are avoided, and not only so, but the inmallic deposit is of a far superior texture and equality of thiAcness throughout, together •with -much economy of time, labour, and expense, there•beitig no iple employed. In this arranvvinent Slr. Spencer, tor the first time, calls into practicaruperation ti,e hitherto abstract principle of electrical induction. To gives com- iorm a copper plate by the (no process, we -should require a pair of plates, coot a vessel, forming. our battery. The plate we intend to use vmmoti) e!ec trotyp of metal.'in like manner, has now to be fastened to the other plate of the .battery, and tdso placed- it the vessel oontainingthe metallic salt in sotution. Thus to,produce one : plate-is required a pairof battery plates, in one vessel, aelc•of the plates have to be , burnishett;auttior every plate re;quiretlheyequired an equal amount of _ . By the-method now proposed, however, thy -strange ment,:iust described will do tor any • number of such plates no - further quantity of wires selliatim,-each having a piece of the metal required to be deposited -leaning against it, should there be fifty such they will-be alike acted on. That action which is techni cally -termed polar, or ra her polariseation takes pia- . that is one side of each interposed plate becomes., while the-other is negative, and the metal from the posi tive aideis transferred tethe negative side of the next, and so on, through any number. It was shown this prin ciple of action was susceptible of many curious modifi cations; among others, that it was capable of :keeping a circular-body revolving in a fluid for any 1, ngth of time, the action of which might be registered like a clock. It was shown also that a number of such might be kept in motion, while inductive actions -capable of retarding or accelerating might be obtained at pleasure. :In con nection with this subject--one most remarkable experi ment was described, which we regret we cannot-give in full, as-theresuits were most extraordinary. During six months -it was kept in constant action, and the results noted at intervals. A narrow butlong plate glass•trough was divided into four cell,, by three porous earthenware divisions, each of which were 21 inches apart, and Chad a small aperture capable of admitting a half sovereign. The poles of a powerful voltaic:pair were placed at each end of the trough, the positive pole being silver, the negative platinum. In the first aperture, and next to the silver pole, apiece of gold was inserted ; into:file next a piece of silver, and in like manner-into the third, was in serted a piece of zinc. The whole trough being tilled up positive,' THE LIVERPOOL tiiTANDARD went, by which we are able to produce it at will, and energies that seem to have no other limits than the ha wishes. Oersted, in demonstrating the connection that exists between electricity and terrestrial magnetism, has given to science the means of measuring this new force by the aid of the compas* needle. Spencer, at last, by the discovery of the wonderful plastic ty of metals reduced by the electric cu►rent, has opened to our views the means , y which this pure science ► -t ► nas at length been able to pene trate into the domains of industry, and by this advance he has been enabled to effect a complete revolution in the whole art of metallurgy, and which will, in all probability effect a change as complete in our mineral chemistry." In the section of this voluminous report, when is en titled the Period of Spencer, the history and dates of his various researches in this branch of science, are given, and the honour of being the discoverer unhesitatingly awarded him, while passages are translated from his papers. We translate the actual text of some of. Mr. Spen cer's memoirs—says the report—in order to show with what minuteness and fidelity he records every part which occurs during his experiments, whether their importance may be apparent or otherwise." BuDE LIGHT, GEortok DOCK.—A large and very powerful bode light has been placed at the north-east end of George's Dock, close by the gates. It has been lighted during the two last evenings, and completely su persedes all the lights in that neighbourhood. IttNcoart.—A correspondent of the Mercury states, that on Sunday week, at Runcorn, a number of young men, in •a state of intoxication, embarked at the ferry, in a small bolt, which, soon after they pushed off, was upset in a squall, when four of the number were drowned. Two others were with difficulty restored. INQUBST.—An inquest -was held before the borough coroner, on Saturday, on view of the body of Elizabeth Page, who died suddenly in Ilitson's-terrace, leading out of Seel-street. In the opinion of Mr. James Garthside, surgeon, who made a post mortem examination, death had been caused by hemorrhage, and a verdict to this effect was returned. NEW MODE OF RAISING THE WIND.—OH Friday, a lad named William Finn, was fined 3U ,, . and costs, and in default of payment ordered to be imprisoned fourteen days, for cutting open the linings of a gentleman's coach, in the Saracen's Head Inn Yard, and stealing the curled hair. PUBLICANS FINED.—On Friday f two publicans and four heer-sellers were charged, at the police-court, with various infringements of the law. One of the publicans was acquitted : the other, John Jones, Fairhurst- s tre e t, (2d conviction,) was fined 80s. and costs. Beer-sellers fined :—Thomas Bucks, Vauxhall-road, (2d conviction,) 80s.; Robert Wynee, Naylor-street, 40s. INCLUBST.-011 Wednesday, an inquest was held before Mr. Curry on view of the body of Harriet Southurst, re siding in Baptist-street. The deceased had, complained for two or three days of headache, nausea, and sickness, and sent to a druggist's shop, in Byrom-street, for a mix ture, which she took, and on Saturday evening began to rave, and was much worse. She died on Monday. Ver dict—" died from fever." A MAN STABBED BY A BEGGAR.--011 Tuesday a beg gar, named -James Morrison, and who, it was apparent, was either permanently insane or subject to temporary fits of exciternant, was placed at the bar of the Police Court, charged with having stabbed Thomas Christopher. It appeared, that, on the preceding evening, the prisoner, who had a child in his arms, begged alms from Christo p'-..er arid other men, and was insulted and told to go to the Night Asylum. He went away, but returned again, and said he would give the b—s some cold steel for their -suppers, upon which Christopher struck him on the nose, and, in return, the prisoner stabbed him on the thigh, and was found by the police-officer brandishing a large open clasp • knife in his hand, and threatening to stab any one that came near him. Mr. Rushton ordered that all the evidence should be taken down in writing. ROYAL LIVER THEAME.—This popular and .prett y little theatre, the opening of which we briefly noticed in our last, continues to draw most respectable, and even crowded audiences. Mr. Raymond has provided himself with a very fair stock -company ; and hats this -week, in addition, the aid of an.old favorite of the Liverpool pub lic, Mr. Browne, with the inimitable Mr. Mackay, whois almost identified with one of the best of Sir Walter Scott's charaCters, viz.,-13ailie Nicol Jarvey. Mr. P. Vining, too, the stage manager, is a decided acquisition to the Liver company; as is Mr. Henry Bedford, a nephew of Paul Bedford, who promises to take a high 'rank in the particular line of . characters which he has chosen. Mrs. Raymond is as usual, lively, and a deserved favorite with the audience. The performances last night were, " The Wonder, or Woman Keeps a Secret,"—"'ls he Jealous ?" —and " Robert Nacaire," which• are to be repeated this evening. In thelatter piece, Browne, as Robert Macaire, drew down the frequent applause of a numerous audience. We must not omit noticing the very-pretty dancing of Miss Massa'', a - young lady, who,-we believe, is a stranger upon the Liverpool hoards. Weinay add -that the regu lations required by the Act of tParliament, under which the house is opened, are strictly-enforced,and all impro per characters excluded, from which, we doubt not, the managerial exchequer may suffer' for awhile, but, we trust, not longer than is required for.the-playgoing public to be audience. 'lt will be seen from-the advertisement that Mr. Browne has announced his benefit. for Friday, when no doubt the house will be crowded in every part. ASE .

COLLY ER'S LECTURES ON ME Last Tuesday evening, at the Royal Assembly Rooms, Great George-street, Dr. Coflyer introduced the nim•li agitated subject by some pet tinent and striking remark.., to a select though not numerous audience. We cannot give any lengthened account of the carious details of ttt novel science included in his general survey, but shall content ourselves with noticing some of the mote promi nent features of his elpguent and impressive discourse. After a review of the general character of the so-called Me,meric phenomena, Dr. C. proceeded to allude to that modification of the process of manipulation introduced by Mr. Braid, wherein by an exhaustion of the sense of vision, nerve sleep can be produced, followed by the cata leptic stage, somnambulism. &e. Dr. C. asserted that the facts of this neurohypnological condition furnished the strongest arguments for the proposition maintained I' Dr. C., viz., that these phenomena are the result of the transference of the will of the operator. Dr. C. lays great stress upon this will operation, and is opposed to die idea that it is a physiological state merely, i e. a state of the body superinduced by or.Ainic and material causes: in other and simple words, Dr. C. believes- these pheno mena to depend upon the operation of mind upon mind, or upon mind and matters conjoined. Mr. B. 's idea is that they are caused by the agency of matter upon. mat ter. One may be said to be a metaphysical. the other a physical doctrine. This sublimation of the subject by Dr. C. by resolving the- effects into will agency, stands opposed as much to the original proposition of Mesmer and Du Po/et, as to that of Braid and the disciples of school. The former, accounted the agent, that of sumed . imponderable matter—magnetism, the latter a conditional function of the nervous system, a natural state of the animal body independent of will, or the super natural. We have tried to convey to our readers a per ception of the difference between the three dogmas, under which the students of this extraordinary re-discovered science range themselves, if we rightly apprehend the lecturer and his views. If our analysis proves mistaken, it will be a pity that a subject so complex cannot be at least approached under some such simplified ideas as we have endeavoured to embody herein, as the scope of the various explanations of the magnetic nerve-sleep, (neuro hyptiological), and will-transferred— .(psychographical) schools. an as- nd immovable, though pulled over by rihesion:; yet this was in the mina :3. ~ays Exp .7.

The whole concern, from first to last, has been carried most suspiciously ; and if the Directors wish it, we shall be happy to prove what we thus assert." In the first place we have a few words to say in reply to that portion of our cotemporary's remaks which contain an imputation upon ourselves. We are said to have been induced to speak favourably of this undertaking on ac- count of " certain influences " which " hold sway over the Liverpool Standard ; 'and this by the way, is not the first occasion on which our contemporary has used similar language towards us. Coming from such a quar ter. the charge is, broadly stated, that we have been bribed. Iu our own town, we flatter ourselves such an imputation wottld sc ircely . need a simple denial. It is not, as our fellow citizens know, an easy task to " hold sway over" the Liverpool Standard; and, we believe we may say ,that an attempt to bribe would provoke, from mos , of our local contemporary's, a'sornewhat hasty and phin form of rebuke, if it did not even draw personal castigation 'upon the unlucky briber. Before the world at large however, who know us less, we must take the earliest opportunity of indignantly repudiating the calumnious insinuation endeavoured to be tattered upon us.

Dr. C. alluded to the verdict of the French Commission of inquiry, appointed in 1785, and to Dr. Franklin's re porting of the want of analogy with electricity and terres trial magnetism. He remarked that the class of pheno mena were dependant on the persons themselves. Dr. C., in referring to the manifestations of the cere bral organs during the mesmeric sleep, or phreno-mes merism, stated that he was the first in America to turn at tention to the facts. First he looked upon it as amuse ment, then traced its important relations, and lie con cludes that where there is no knowledge of phrei the patient, there is no respondence to the mani, (pericranial).

Dr. Candlish, expr similar sentiments I at Leith:ad up as pious, evangelical preachers, lovers of pc fesaine to be the leaders of the Christian peopl, proprietors of Scotland, has, as you' are aware, lately made its appearance, signed by Dr. Chalmers and his colleague Dr. Gordon, of which the professed object is to influence that respectable body to grant sites of land, on which their followers might erect places. of worship' for the propagation of such doctrines, and at the same. time, in order to throw dust in their eyes, avowing in this re monstrance, " Their desire to live al peace wills all men, and that they cordially wish for the welfare of all who love the Saoiour in sincerity." Are we, then, to con strue their anathemas into a disbelief in the F those who are members of the Established Churel whom, it now appears, they have long had the unmerited honour of being embodied? Do they mean to deny that the faith and doctrine of the Established Church-are in all respects unchanged, and the same as when these men were their zealous advocates? Then, if so, why do they not come forward, in place of showing the cloven foot, and openly avow such sentiments, if they entertain them ? It is but too evident that the republic spirit, and their thirst after power and popularity, under which the serpent lurks, are the acting passions that have led them to make such sacrifices of character and the principle of consis tency so dear to all honest men ; or why should Dr. Chalmers, after being the prominent supporter of patron• age, and the determined foe of voluntaryism, turn round and contend for placing unlimited power in the hands of the people, urging the extinction of the first, and practi catty the our , t of the last, Unless we are to conclue his - object is, to induce them to hold him up as their iuol, and feed his love of popularity at any price, whilst he now rejects the conditions of the act of Parliament. which authority to the church courts to confirm their rejection, • if sufficient cause is assigned, but from the hope, I doubt not, through their expected influence over the people, thus to place; the real power in their own hands.?

Prior to the passing of these several most oppressive exacti ,ns were new revlatio a sum of 2,300 dollars was levied upon all desctiptions of craft, great and small; whilst the entire duties upon a ship of 500 or 600 tons were little short of 43000 sterling. The whole of these are now abolished, and a duty of 3s. 6d. per ton substituted for them ; and thus the total charges upon a ship of 600 tons will be only £lO5 sterling, or one-tenth of the charges under the old system, those upon smaller vessels sustaining, of course, a reduction in a still greater increased ratio. The change in the duties to be levied upon manufae- Lured goods is exhibited in the foil. wing statement i Colton Yarn.—The dutty on cotton yarn, formerly about two dollars per pecul of 13341 b., is now reduced to 1 dollar 40 cents, or about five-eights of a penny per lb'.

THE WEATHER.—For the last twelve or fourteen days (with the exception of the last three) the weather in this neighbourhood has been rather more unsettled, cold, and stormy, with heavy downfalls, than is usually experienced at this period of the year—portending, indeed, tha rapid advent of a rigorous winter. The wind has generally blown fresh from the north, and north-north-west, with a lowness of temperature exceedingly trying to weak con. stitutionst particularly when so immediately succeeding a prolongation•of what might be termed summer heat. We had, towards the dose of last week, successive and heavy showers of rain intermixed with hail and sleet, and on Friday night, in the town and vicinity, an electric in which the lightning was extremely vivid, followed by loud explosions of thunder. No accident has, however, come to our knowledge. I n th e i n t er i or o f the county, too, and northward, the weather has been wet and incle- a considerable fall of snow and bail, particu larly on the hills. Yesterday was comparatively fine, but still chilly for the season, the wind being yet northerly. We have heard of no damage to the crops yet in the earth, though it is feared the potatoes in low grounds - may nave suffered from the accumulation of water. Yesterday morning the whole country, from the effect of a hoar frost, appeared to be invested in a thin mantle of snow, and a slight coating of ice was observed on ponds, &c., in exposed situations. We hope, however, we[shall yet have a few weeks of mild dry weather to enable the farmers to gather in their potatoes.
