The Asiatic Journal and Monthly Register for Bri tish India, China, and Australia. October, 1838. The present number of this excellent magazine contains some very interesting papers on oriental li .terature, customs and manners, and antiquities. The account of the "Tooth Relic of Ceylon" is very cu rious. The paper on the recent important historical discoveries in the inscriptions of India will be perused with intense interest by the biblical student. We look forward with much eagerness to the result of Mr. Princep's investigations. The essay on "Native So ciety in India" affords considerable insight into the manners of the Hindoos. The article on "Assam" gives us some important geographical_ and statistical information respecting that province. We have pe rused with much pleasure the memoir of Baron Sil vestre de Sacy, who was a man of extraordinary abi lities. The specimens of New Zealand poetry indi cate a higher degree of civilization than the aboriginal inhabitants of that island have obtained the credit of possessing. The " Story of Tamim Ansari" is a Persian extravaganza, after the style of the Arabian Nights' Entertainments. From the "Visit to Japan" we glean a little more intelligence respecting the sin gular reserve of the inhabitants of that remote em pire. The varied mass of miscellaneous intelligence in the Asiatic Journal indicates great diligence in the collection and judgment in the arrangement of the materials. Parbury's Oriental Herald and Colonial Intelli gencer. October, 1838. We have already, on several occasions, expressed our favourable opinion of this very spirited periodical. Tits intelligence which it contains respecting oriental affairs is, in general, both copious and accurate. The literary articles display considerable merit. The pre sent number contains an excellent article on " The Prince of Oude versus the East India Company. The paper on "Russia, in reference to Circassia, Persia, and India," is very seasonably introduced. The po licy of the Autocrat is now attracting the attention of all Europe. We rejoice to find that the " Application of British capital to the Agricultural Resources of In dia" forms the subject of another article, which is de voted to the cultivation of cotton. The account of the "Battle of Seetabuldee" will be read with interest by our military friends. The remaining articles are, "On East India Steam Navigation," on "The present Distribution of the Army in the Eastern Colonies," and " Suggestions for the Improvement of the Condi tion of the People of India." Alexander's East India and Colonial Magazine. October, 1838. This magazine is of a livelier character than the two preceding, especially since its incorporation with the Meerut Universal Magazine. The number before us contains some capital articles. We have been greatly pleased with the perusll of the remarks on "The Prac tice of Usury and Corn Monopoly ; the Cause of Fa mine in the Upper Provinces of India." " Loose Lectures" contain some spicy remarks on the philo sophy of drinking. The observations on the "Inse curity of the British Indian Empire," merit an attentive reading. The account of the " Tripetty Pagoda" is extremely curious. The "Whig Jobbing at Bombay" it just in keeping with the practice of this "virtuous and plf-denying party" elsewhere. The particulars re spedftg the "Pamben Passage" will be useful to the mariner. "My Furlough" is an odd medley of pathos and humour. " Stanzas to the Moon" are, indeed, "something new." They abound with touches of genuine poetry. The account of " Shaik Dulloo, the Indian Freebooter," is well worth reading. The sum mary of Indian news in this periodical will be found of great value to the general reader. The Churchman. Enlarged Series. October, 1838. We rejoice to find that this spirited periodical is gradually winninz its way into popular esteem. It deserves the support of every true friend to our ortho dox, venerable, and Protestant Church. The present number contains several very acceptable and powerful papers. The remarks on "British Tithes" show the origin of that impost, and the title upon which it rests. "The Apostacy" is a striking paper on the peculiar cha racteristics of the ( liurch of Rome. "The Instruction that causeth to err," is an article of great value. It contains some very seasonable admonitions. We are not pleased •Nith the apology; (for such we must term it,) for the " Inconsistencies of the Clergy. Why should there be " unworthy ministers" in the Church at all ? If all such were rejected from its pale, where Would be necessity for maintaining the validity of their ministry ? The remarks on " the state of things con nected with Religion in Judea" give rise to a train of painful reflection. The miscellaneous ecclesiastical intelligence in th e Ch urc h ma n.is well selected. We wish this periodical every success, as long as it steers clear of the Oxford Popery. The Polyglot Magazine, or Literary Repository and Self-Instructor. September, 1838. We have only received the first number of this truly unique periodical, but we do not hesitate to pro nounce our decided opinion as to its value and utility. It embraces a course of familiar lectures on French and German, to be followed by another on the Spanish and - Polislvtanguages. These are written in the most simple and intelligible style, if we may judge from the specimens before us. The translations which it gives of the most popular portions of the modern lite rature of Europe form another very attractive feature in the compilation of this magazine. If conducted with the spirit indicated by this first number we have no doubt of its success. The 'Polish. Monthly Magazine. No. 1. October, 1838. We ace glad to find that the expatriated Poles hal!". at Ip4gtb. been enabled to start a journal in 04 - fat tißsa of glair country will meet with a Standard Office, Three o Clock. LIVERPOOL MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12. The arrivals into this port since Tuesday last, furnish about 6600 qrs. of Wheat, with a tolerable quantity of Oats, Coast wise and from Ireland, but of other articles thence, and es pecially of Flour, the supply is still inconsiderable. Besides a few cargoes not vet entered, the imports from Abroad con sist of 10,972 qrs. Wheat, 2030 barrels of Flour, and 1630 qrs. of Oats, all of which, with part of last week's arrivals, will now be placed in bond, the duty on the two former, being increased to 20s. Bd. per quarter, and 12s. sd. per barrel. With the exception of some rain about the 24th ult., the weather during the last fonror five weeks has been favourable for harvest, until last night that we had some partial showers, but accompanied by brisk drying winds, and to-day being fine, they have been more beneficial than otherwise for all the purposes of husbandry. Duties having been paid yesterday upon a fair portion of the recent importations of Foreign Wheats, a good display of samples appeared to-day, which, including English and Irish old, were held with firmness, and at the full rates of Tuesday, several parcels were taken by speculative buyers, a few for shipment northward, and with some on country account, the transactions collectively were to a tolerable amount, in which the local millers, however, participated rather sparingly, and Irish new Wheats being in limited request were the turn cheaper. Flour, although not plenti ful, was io slow demand at iate prices. Fine new English Barley, of which a small lot or two have arrived, was held at 40s. per quarter.—ln Irish we have no change to note.—Malt extremely dull, and rather lower.— Beans and Pease continued to meet little inquiry, and hardly supported former prices. —Oats, of which but few parcels were sold, remained stationary in value; and Oatmeal moved off slowly,ata decline ;;of 61. per 2-101bs. LITERARY NOTICES. Blackwood's Magazine. October, 1838.. Blackwood's stands pre-eminent and unrivalled for its political disquisitions. The present number fully snstains its already established character in this re _ spect. The first article, " The Cabinet and the Country," contains a thundering attack upon the present ministry, and a tremendous exposure of their mischievous policy. The "Picture Gallery" presents us with another affecting tale. The specimens of "Earlier English Moral Songs and Poems" are mostly deserving of being printed in letters of gold. The paper on "Funerals" is cleverly written. " The Tu tor" is rich in its drollery. • The article on " The Progress of Popery" is one of absorbing interest. The detail, vAlich it furnishes respecting the insidious advances of the Church of Rome, are calculated to excite the attention of even the most indifferent, and to fill the most confident with feelings of alarm. We shall endeavour in a future number to make room for the whole of this paper. In the mean time, we ear nestly recommend it to the perusal of every loyal Protestant. The "Letter from Tomkins" is replete with fun. We are perfectly disgusted with the almost infidel speculations of M. Guizot on "Protestantism, - Catholicism, and Philosophy in France." " A Glance over the Poetry of Thomas Warton" discovers some exquisite poetical gems. Fraser's Magazine. October, 1838. Fraser continues to rise in our estimation each suc cessive month. There is a raciness and an originality about this spirited and truly conservative magazine which render its perusal one of the richest treats we can enjoy. "-Genius and the Public" is a powerful satire, though somewhat discursive. The article on " Chalmers and the Church Establishment" will be perused with delight by dvery sincere friend of the Church of England. The beautiful address "To the Bee" we have already transferred to our columns. " A Day among the Mountains" is an exquisite produc tion, replete with poetic fervour. The animadversions on "The Foreign Policy of the Whig Cabinets of 1837 and 1838" are of a highly interesting character, and display a very considerable amount of political wisdom. "The Constable of Bourbon and the Sack ing of Rome" is well written. " The Athenian Poet's Creed" is very beautiful. "Our Club at Paris" im proves considerably. The account of "Mr. and Mrs. Alderman Stewan's perilous and patriotic Visit to Havre de Grace" is full of humour, and will afford a hearty laugh. Under the head of "Little Men and Little Measures" we have some pungent strictures upon the public character, &c. of Lord Brougham. We do not admire the "Passages from the Diary of the late Dolly Duster." The puns with which they abound are too forced. The continuation of the "Homeric Ballads" is a great treat to the classical scholar. Under the title of " Loose Thoughts" we have some very appropriate observations on the more recent transactions in the political world. Dublin University Magazine. October, 1838. This excellent periodical merits the cordial support of every conservative. The powerful aid which it ren ders to the cause of the constitution entitles it to our warmest gratitude. Its literary merits are also of the very highest character. The present number is par ticularly interesting. The first article, " Cassandra in Ireland; or, 'tis Sixty Years to come," carries us in imagination to the close of the nineteenth century, with its prodigies in steam, and with the Radicals and Papists in the full enjoyment of political power. We sincerely hope that its gloomy prophecies may not be fulfilled; but there is no saying to what a degree of degradation and misery Ireland may be reduced under the combined influence of the Whig-Radical cabinet, O'Connell, and the priests. "The Boat Wreck," by Ffraser, is written with much spirit. The review of " Merck's Correspondence" contains some very power ful passages. " The Thirty Flasks" is a German tale of an extraordinary character. The "By-ways of Irish History" comprehend some useful remarks on Whitebovism in Munster, the Catholic Committee in Dublin, and the Hearts of Oak in the North, &c. — "The Confessions of Henry Lorrequer" have afforded us another hearty guffaw. The ludicrous situation of the hero on his way to Paris is laughable in the high est degree. " Thoughts on passing Things" contain some pertinent remarks on the poor law for Ireland, the ballot, and the repeal of the corn laws. The spe cimens of "Poems by Alexander Bethune" are very creditable to the author, who is a labourer, The re views of "Ellis' Treatise on Insanity" and "Letters on Paraguay" are highly interesting speculations. powerful advocacy. Independently, however, of its political character, this periodical presents very consi derable claims to the support of the British public. Its literary merits promise to be of the highest order. The introduction to the present number contains some very eloquent remarks on the " History and Politics of Poland. The next paper gives a detailed account of the religious persecutions to which that country has been subjected under the Muscovite sway. The " Ge neral Review of Literature and Education" in Poland introduces to our notice some very beautiful specimens of poetry. The statistical details respecting the ex tent of the territory of Poland, and its population, seem to have been collected with great care. We cannot, however, conclude this notice without remarking that the Polish Magazine is ultra radical and republican in its politics. In Essay on Food. By W. Grisenthwaite, Author of a refutation of Paine's Age of Reason"—" New Theory of Agriculture"—" Essay on Genius," &c. London : Crofts. 1838. In the language of the title page, in this essay " the received doctrine of modern physiologists re specting the waste of the body is exploded—the cause of animal heat is explained upon new principles—the source whence nitrogen is derived by herbivorous animals is established—general rules for the preserva tion of health are laid down—and the wisdom of the Divine Economy in all is vindicated." . We have lipid to add to this very explicit description of the contents of this essay. The author, though not a professional man, is evidently thoroughly acquainted with the sub ject on which he has undertaken to write. The me dical student will derive much valuable information in its perusal, and be led, perhaps, to bestow more atten tion than has hitherto been paid to the subject of che mical physiology. The chief recommendation of the work in our view is to be found in its practical sug gestions, which are extremely valuable. The con eluding remarks are especially deserving of attention. A General Outline of the Animal Kingdom. By Thomas Rymer Jones, F.Z.S. Illustrated by nu merous Engravings on Wood. Part 11. London : ' John Van Voorst, 1838. The strictly scientific character of this important work renders it one of the most valuable ever pub lished on the same subject. The publication of such works as the present in the shape of cheap monthly parts is highly commendable, as it places them within the reach of the great bulk of the middle classes. In the number before us we have a copious description of animalcula infusoria—acaphalce—and sterelmintha. The illustrative engtavings are beautifully executed. Altogether, this work deserves, and we have no doubt will obtain, the most extended support. It will form an admirable substitute for more elaborate works on natural history. • Wilson's Tales of the Borders. Parts 50 and 51. Edinburgh : Sutherland. The more we see of this admirable series of "bisto rical,traditionary, and imaginative tales of the Borders and of Scotland," the more are we delighted with its character, and the more cordially do we feel called upon to recommend it to the notice of our readers. Some of the tales in the two numbers now before us possess very considerable merit, and all of them will be read with pleasure as well as profit. The moral lessons which they develope constitute their highest recommendation. These numbers contain the follow ing tales :—" Henry Hamilton"—" Lord Durie and Christie's Mill"—" The Amateur Lawyers," (a capital tale,)—" Gleanings of the Covenant"—" The Victim of Vanity"—" The Palantines"—" The Mutiny at Sea"—and " The Case of Evidence." A Glance at State Affairs ; with a few Suggestions to the Conservatives of Great Britain. By the Author of "Thoughts on the State and Prospects of Conservatism," &c. London : Mitchell., 1838. • This admirable tract is from the pen of Mr. Sowler, of Manchester, who has already rendered many signal services to the conservative cause through the mediuur of similar brief essays on the various topics which have recently engaged the attention of the public. We re commend this excellent review of the policy pursued by the Whig ministers to•the careful perusal of every true lover of his country. We feel assured that no one can candidly and honestly peruse its contents with out. feeling a deep conviction of the baseness and treachery of the " contemptibles" now in office. This tract ought to be extensively circulated among the operatives in our large towns. It will serve to disa buse them of many of their erroneous opinions and unfounded prejudices. We are glad to find the pen of the author continues to be so well employed. Woman! as Virgin, Wife, and Mother. An Epitome of Social Duties and Domestic Enjoyments. By a Lady. London : Mitchell. 1838. This beautiful little work, most appropriately de dicated to the Queen, ought to be in the•possession of every adult female in the kingdom. It abounds with sage and judicious advice, couched in language re. markable both for simplicity and elegance. Governed by the sound maxims which the fair authoress incul cates no female can fail, under ordinary circumstances, of securing that greatest of earthly blessings—domes tic felicity. Wisdom. By the Author of "Think!" and "Act !" London : Mitchell. 1838. This neat little manual contains the essence of true wisdom—that wisdom which is derived from the in spired source of all true knowledge. It contains nu merous selections form the Holy Scriptures, together with extracts from the works of several eminent divines, accompanied by forms of prayer and praise. ' 4 I I COND Nl ) rrie .

LECTURES ON CHEMISTRY, AS APPLIED TO THE ARTS. On Saturday evening Dr. Kane delivered his fourth lec ture, upon the manufacture of glass and porcelain. The substances used in the manufacture of glass and por celain, are metals united with oxygen; but their affinity for it is so strong and powerful, that under all circuinstauces they exist in nature in an oxydized form, and it is one of the most difficult of chemical operations to separate them from oxygen, so as to exhibit them in an uncombined form. he substances which I allude to are the alkaline bases and the base of silica, the metallic properties of which may be some what doubted, but which agree with those of the others; therefore I have no hesitation in classing it as a metal. The chemists of former days considered that there were only three alkalies, and that they belonged to the three different king doms, namely, the vegetable, mineral, and the animal. The vegetable alkali was potash, so called from its being derived in large quantities from the ashes of vegetables; soda was called the mineral alkali, in consequence of its existing in large quantities in salt; and ammonia, in consequence of its being an animal, product, was called the animal alkali, or the volatile alkali, because of its gas-like form when uncom blued. At present we shall have nothing to do with ammo nia, but with potash and soda. The names which were given to these alkalies are not correct ; because potash, although the most abundant source of it is the ashes of wood, yet it is also found in felspar and a great variety of minerals con tained in the earth. In like manner, soda is found to exist in all vegetables which grow in the neighbourhood of the sea, and even at considerable distances from the sea, pro vided they are exposed to winds which pass over the sea. Whole classes of marine plants, growing upon the shores where they are washed by the waters of the ocean, contain a great quantity of common salt; and by the collection and the burning of these plants, were obtained the different vari eties of kelp and barilla, which, in the less advanced state of science, gave to the manufacturers their whole amount of soda. One of the most remarkable steps made in science was by Sir flumphry Davy, when he discovered that the alkalies were but peculiar combinations of various metals with oxygen, metals possessing characteristics so totally dif ferent from those which we are accustomed to expect, that at first sight it can be very well understood how they were not sooner discovered. 'We find that they are the lightest bodies in nature, and difficult to preserve; we shall likewise find them to be amongst the most tender substances with which we have to deal. In accordance with-the rule which I laid down at the commencement of these lectures, I shall not dwell upon the means of preparing these substances, because they are merely of use in a scientific point of view, the manufacturer never preparing potassium for his opera tions. _ . Potassium is lighter than water, and its colour is a pale blue, somewhat inferior in brilliancy to silver. When cut, it presents a very beautiful metallic appearance, but it speedily becomes covered over with a white crust, which is potash.— In fact, so great is its affinity for oxygen, that we are obliged to keep it in naptha, a substance which contains no oxygen. When placed upon the surface of water its action is most violent, as it decomposes the water, unites with its oxygen, and sets fire to its hydrogen, which burus with a vivid, violet coloured flame. Potassium melts when heated, and if heated in contact with the atmosphere it burns,and is converted into potash; but at ordinary temperatures it combines with the oxygen of the atmosphere without any appearance of flame. When forty grains of potassium are converted into potash they will absorb eight of oxygen, so that forty-eight is taken as the equivalent of potash which unites with the different acids. Potassium will burn with great rapidity and splen dour in oxygen, although it will not do so in atmospheric air, owing to the oxygen of the atmosphere causing a crust of potash to surronad it, which defends it from further oxidation of a sufficiently rapid nature to suppoir combustion. The product of its combination with oxygen we have stated to be potash. In order to prepare potash we get the potash of com merce, which is combined with carbonic acid, and by dissolv ing it with lime and crystallizing it, we obtain the dry caus• tic potash of the shops. AlthoUgh considered as dry, yet in strict chemical language it is not so, as it contains a quantity of water of crystallization, which cannot be expelled. The alkaline properties of potash are readily shown by its brown ing turmeric paper and turning red cabbage liquor green. The second substance, sodium, is derived from the alkali soda. Like potassium, soda possesses a remarkable facility of oxidation. It is, on exposure to the air, immediately con verted into a white powder, which is soda. The metal is of a still more beautiful appearance than potassium, and when cut, it ranks, among the metals, only after silver, for the pu rity of its colour. 1 mentioned that the great advantage of the metallic iron consisted in its getting soft before fusing, by which we could weld it together. Now, we can weld so dium in the sante way at ordinary temperatures. Sodium is remarkably distinguished from potassium by the fact, that although it decomposes water very rapidly, it does not take fire upon the water at ordinary temperatures; but if we place the sodium upon hot water, it then inflames the hydrogen, which is liberated. The reason of this is, that cold water cools the products, so that the intensity of the action is not sufficient to enkindle the hydropen; but occasionally, when the sodium gets to the edge of the vessel, and sticks there, the water around gets sufficiently warmed, so as to permit in flammation to take place. If we by any means increase the energy of the action, we can enable the hydrogen to take fire, although we still preserve the same temperature. Thus, if we place some sodium upon nitric acid, inflammation will ensue, in consequence of the nitric acid actiug more energe tically upon the sodium than water. Vie can, by means of a very beautiful experiment, determine the quantity of hydrogen set free by a given amount of sodium.. Thus if we take a glass tube full of water, and introduce beneath it, in a pneumatic trough, a little sodium enclosed in paper, the water wilt be rapidly decomposed, and the hydrogen will ascend to the upper part of the tube, and be collected. The flame evolved by the burning of the sodium is coloured yel low, from a trace of soda, and this circumstance is taken no tice of in the most careful analysis of substances suspected to contain soda. The equivalent of soda is 32, (sodium 24 and oxygen 8) and this makes it a more valuable agent in commerce than potash, because the same amount of soda pro duces a greater effect in the arts than that of potash. The latter can expel soda front its combination, but soda ranks after potash. if a little sodium is placed in some bromine, it will combine with a slight explosion. Sodium, like potas sium, is distinguished by its great affinity for acids, and upon this effect is based its various uses, as we shall afterwards describe. The other substances which are used in these arts are lime and alumina. Lime exists extensively in nature as a carbo nate, and as a sulphate. The carbonates of lime are the most extensively diffused bodies with which we are acquaint ed. It not only associates with the mineral kingdom, but it enters largely into the skeletons of the lower classes of ani mals. Indeed, there is every reason to believe, that carbo nate of lime does not in reality form any important part of the mineral kingdom, but that it has resulted from the suc cessive creations and destructions of different kinds of the lower classes of animals, which, after forming carbonate of lime during their life, have, after their death, given rise to the large masses of lies, chalk, and mountain limestone, which form so great a portion of the mountains of the globe. In fact the more minutely we examine the carbonates of lime the more we are driven to the conclusion that they are aggregates of the esuvia of animals, or a collection of their shells, which from the proximity of volcanic fires have been melted and deprived of their pristine forms, by which they could have been at once identified. But in addition to these animal formations of carbonate of lime we have some of purely mineral origin, such as calcareous spar, but these are very unimportant in a practical point of view, as all our lime in the arts is derived from the mountain limestone. Sulphate of lime, or gypsum, is found' in vast quantities in the neighbourhood of Paris, from which circumstance, in its calcined state, it has been called the Plaster of Paris, an ar ticle extensively used in the casting of busts and stucco work generally. In its pure crystalline state, sulphate of lime constitutes the alabaster which is used in the manufacture of those statues and works of art for which modern Italy is so much celebrated. By the application of heat to carbonate of lime, the carbonicacid is expelled, and lime remains behind, in the state of a pure powder. When water is poured upon lime, a combination takes place, accompanied by the evolu tion of a great heat, and slacked lime or hydrated lime is the result. Lime consists of calcium united to oxygen; but it is so difficult to separate these elements, that I shall do no more than allude to the fact. If we nave a solution of lime in water, it gets turbid when exposed to the air. This turbi dity is due to the formation of carbonate of lime, in conse quence of the affinity of lime for the carbonic acid of the at mosphere. Oxalic acid is remarkable for the affinity which it possesses for lime, and they are the best tests for each other. if we add a little of the solution of the one to the so lution of the other, a copious white precipitate is produced, which is the oxalate of lime, possessing such remarkable and peculiar qualities as to be easily recognized. Alumina is as extensively distribuied as lime, but it is pre sent in a different state of combination. Alumina is met with pure, bat lime is not, and when lime is ;rendered pure it will not remain so long, for like .potash and soda it has a powerful tendency to combine with carbonic acid. Pure lime therefore does not exist in nature. Alumina has no such affinity for carbonic acid and pure alumina, and therefore ex ists iii a vast variety of forms. We have it in a soft condition somewhat similar to clay, but it is singular that the ruby, the sapphire, and.the corundum should be composed of pure alumina. Thus are the most extensively distributed sub stances in nature, on assuming the crystalline form, con verted into the most valuable gems, in the same remarkable way as carbon in its pure state into the diamond. Alumina is a perfectly white powder, and impalpable. When wetted it forms a coherent mass, as every one is aware of. This characterizes alumina and all its different salts. In order to prepare pure alumina, we have recourse to a very simple pro cess. In the arts there exists a salt called alum : this alum contains alumina. In ordinary alum the alumina is com bined with sulphuric acid, and if we take any base having a more powmful affinity fur sulphuric acid than alumiva, we get the alumina. For instance, if we add potash, we get pure alumina in a white precipitate.• It is evident that this precipitate is nut at once distinguishable from other white precipitates, but it possesses several chemical characters. If we take souse of it and add still more potash, the precipitate will diSappear, but by the addition of an excess of potash it is again made to appear. If I take,a. lithe of the solution of alunr, and add the alkali ammonia, - the precipitate is not dis solved, however much I may add of it. The other important constituent of glass and porcelain is silica. Unlike the substances we have been describing, silica is not a base, as we have every reason to believe it to be an acid.' In a state of purity it forms rock crystal: Flints are silica in great and nearly perfect purity. The sand stone of this district is likewise silica nearly pure. In these different forms the silica is uncombined; but in -addition to these, silica exists in nature in numerous classes of salts. In deed, through the whole of the mineral kingdom we may look upon the bases which we have described as being com bined with silica. Silica is the great consolidating agent. Now I have had occasion to notice on several occasions the general nature of a salt. A salt consists of an acid and a base; Epsom salts consist of sulphuric acid and magnesia, and Glauber's salts of sulphuric acid and soda. For the purposes of the arts in which silica is extensively employed, the sand of the neighbouring districts is found to be sufficiently pure. In fact, when we can obtaiq sand free from iron or carbonate of lime, we may use it in the manu facture of flint glass, and that of plate and crown glass. To obtain a still purer silica weprocure iec flints, ,:l a g n ed d o o m i f t , is sh e o . ui(i singu larbe circumstance, th e theii the hardest substan u c mne, esstitiil that h t existstt in n proved to be like the salt in which it is found embedded, of animal origin. In fact, although the g r ea t er var i ety o f marine creatures had shells of carbonate of lime, there is a variety of them which have shells of silica, and these flints are the aggregated skeletons and shells of the animals. In order to oGtain a perfectly pure silica, the flints are reduced to powder. They are first calcined, and thrown into water; the effect of which operation is to break the flint into a number of pieces, so that it is easily reduced to a flue white powder, which is used in the manufacture of very fine glass or porcelain. It is in this state perfectly white, and might be mistaken for alumina. Silica obt6ined by this means is not, however, chemically pure.. To obtain it'so, we make use of a very simple process. Lmentioned that the silica is an acid, it therefore unites with bases. Under the generality of circumstances the combinations of silica_witlatasr.....Lare_nad... "tiatible in water: — yr; Viiiiiever, we increase the quantity of the base we shall get a soluble salt, and in this ready way we may get what is called soluble glass. If we melt silica with a large quantity of potash, we obtain a combination which will dissolve in water. This solution was called by the older chemists, liquor of flints, because it was the only way in which they could obtain silica in in a state of fluidity. If we add a little acid to it, the silica is again set free. Another way of obtaining it is by means of fluoric acid. In this way we get it in the form of a white light powder, as tine as can be conceived. To strew the great importance of these substances in the arts, I s h a ll point out to you the composition of some remarkable minerals which contain them; I have already mentioned to you one instance of the mineral felspar. It is a very com mon mineral, and exists in great abundance in all granites and in syenitp, It is thought that if by the destruction of Oa . 7. . :47 American forests we should be unable to procure our pc;tash from vegetable sources, we might be able by the decomposition of felspar to procure a supply of potash to last us for a long time. Felspar consists of silica united to alumina and pot ash. In fact we may divide the silica into two proportions, and then in the first place we shall have one portion united with the potash, and in the second place another portion united to the alumina. Now the combination of silica with potash is a salt, and the combination of silica with alumina is likewise a salt, therefore this felspar is a double salt of which there exist vast numbers in chemistry, some of which are of great importance. Alum is an artificial product which ca❑ scarcely be said to exist naturally, bUt which is'of great impor tance in the arts. It is a combination of sulphuric acid with alu mina, sodium, and water. The sulphuric acid is thus divided into two portions, now leaving out the water, which by simply drying the alum we may get rid ef, we shall see that alum very much resembles the felspar which we can scarcely form artificially, but which abounds in nature. Now all glass and porcelain are double salts resembling felspar in a very great degree. Our object its the manufacture of porcelain is to bring silica and potash together so that they may resemble the porcelain we wish to obtain. It is our object to get glass of a certain degree of fusibility, and we therefore unite them in certain proportions so that the resulting salt may be manu factured of whatever purity we may desire. Porcelain, on the contrary, it is our object to form in such a way that it shall be very difficult to melt, and the easy fusibility which is so much to be desired in glass is a great objection in porcelain. For these processes there are different proportions employd. The silicates of the alkalies are far more easily melted than the silicates of the earths. Silicate of potash makes a pure glass of an intermediate degree of fusi bility, but in practice it is necessary to have glass of different degrees of fusibility. and to effect this different substances are used. Lead is added to render it more fusible, anti lime to decrease its fusibility. We have, therefore, three varieties of glass : flint glass, a double silicate of potash or soda and lead, and the different varieties of crown glass, which have introduced into them a greater or less degree of fusibility. In the manufacture of table glass there are threelngredients: the fine sand sometimes procured from Lyme Regis, some times from South America and other distant places, as it must be of great purity; then we have the alkali, chiefly soda, on account of its cheapness and greater powers of sa turation; and, in addition to these, a great quantity of red lead. In fact, in making use of red lead, there are two im portant objects gained: the first is, the manufacturer makes his glass more fusible, and saves his coals; in the next place, the lead being a heavy ingredient, he increases the value of his glass by being enabled to charge more for it. An article made of glass containing lead weighs more than if no lead had been employed; and as it is paid for by weight. the pro fit of the manufacturer is greater. But in addition to this, the red lead gives the glass a degree of lustre which enhances its appearance; therefore, as an article of luxury, it is in creased in value. There are limits to this addition of lead ; as it is liable to be acted upon by acids, although combined with the silicate of soda: indeed, drinking-glasses are some times acted upon by the liquids they may contain, and it is well known that the cylinders of some electrical machines can scarcely be kept dry, owing to the presence of too great a quantity of lead. The manufacture of plate and crown glass differs from that of flint glass, because it is necessary to make the former much harder. In consequence of this, cheaper materials are used: lead is left out, and the soda or potash is replaced to a'great extent by lime. The presence of lead in glass may he readily ascertained by pounding the glass, mixing it with charcoal, anti putting it into a crucible; when exposed to heat the lead wi►l melt, and collect at the bottom of the crucible. There is made at Prague, in Bo hemia, an article which is beautiful as an article of luxury, and is very useful in a scientific point of view. It is a pure silicate of soda, and requires an intense heat to melt it. With it we can operate with ease in chemistry, as it is neither liable to melt nor to crack with sudden variations of heat and „S fpong Enttlliqentr. TUESDAX, SEPTEMBER 9.

It is distinguished from the Eng lish glass as containing no lead, and but little alkali. In the manufacture of different species of porcelain the chemical union is not so decided as in &ass. it is not perfect. The iinrortant constituent of the different kinds of earthenware is clay ; . but this is mixed with a certain quantity of ground flint, the object of which is to prevent the clay from shrink ing and cracking on exposure to heat. If we take a piece of fine Cornish clay, we shall find that it is a compound of silica and alumina, that it is the clay which in felspar is united with the silicate of potash. If we take a piece of granite we shail find that it consists of an aggregate of three minerals, which are quartz, (pure silica) mica, and felspar. • Some of these granites resist the action of the atmosphere for an inde finite length of time, but others decompose very. rapidly. Of the three constituents of the granite, it is only the felspar which is decomposed, and from' the action of the air and water it is broken up. The silicate of potash is washed away; and the silicate of alumina remains behind in the form of clay. We can easily ascertain this by seeing the rock in the process of decay. This pure clay is characterised by its uniting with water and constituting a remarkably palpable substance. If we take a portion of clay, and wash it with water, it forms a sort of substance which we can form into any shape we wish. But this pure clay it is impossible to make use of at once in the manufacture of porcelain, be cause pure clay contracts very much in drying. The amount of contraction is so considerable, that the celebrated Wedg wood, to whom the porcelain manufacture is much indebted, made use of it in the construction of the pyrometer, an in strument used to measure the heat of furnaces. In order to accomplish this, a piece of clay is dried at a slow red heat, and fitted accurately into a gunge at the extremity of the py rometer. The piece of clay is introduced into the furnace, the heat of which we wish to ascertain, and exposed for a twit time to the high temperature within. The more• the clay is heated the more it contracts. After a certain period it is taken out and cooled, and it is again placed in the pyrome ter, and slid up the groove, the sides of which gradually ap proach each other, until it can be urged no further, when the degree of temperature marked upon the side of the groove where the clay remains stationary is that of the furnace. This instrument is not scientifically accurate, but it is suffi ciently so for the purposes of the arts. If we take any of this pure clay and mould it into the form of a vessel, the result will be the shrinl:ing of the vessel in such a way as to injure its form. Not only so. but it will crack in an indefinite number of directions. In order then to avoid this, the clay is mixed with silica. At the point where the clay touches the silica, the latter melts so that the alumina is thus firmly united with it. The vessel in this case will be smaller, but it will not crack A remarkable fact connected with the manufacture of glass is its great expansion by heat. It is evident that the more at liberty a body is left to the action of its own internal forces, the more permanent trill be the con dition it will assume, and if these forces be counteracted, that they will be disturbed by the slightest application of ex terior power. Now let us suppose a piece of glass, when hot, to be dropped into water, and its surface suddenly cooled, we know that if a bulb of glass be slowly cooled, is very much lessened in size; but when the .red hot mass of glass is dropped suddenly into water, the outer coat will be at once solidified without becoming any smaller, the consequence af which is, that the interior particles are held in a state of sus pension with regard to one another. It is natural, therefore, that if the bulb of glass be subjected to the slightest vibration, its internal structure will be disturbed. This gives rise to toys well known, under the name of Itupert's drops, which are made by allowing drops of red hot glass to fall into water. When the point of one of these drops is broken, the whole mass is resolved into a fine powder by the action of its own internal forces. o violent is the action, that if the point be broken off under water, the separation of the parti cles will break the glass in which it is contained, unless the vessel be very strong. If we, however, heat one of these bulbs to redness, and then allow it to cool slowly, no such action will take place, because the particles Lave had time to arrange themselves. The lecture of to-morrow evening (Saturday) will embrace the theories of Saccharine, Alcohonc, and Acetous fermen tation, &c.; and we should think thet it would prove highly interesting to those ladies who pride themselves upon their domestic housewifery.

HUNTING THE GIRAFFE.—The most approved manner in the present day of hunting the giraffe in Narnaqua land is on horseback. The natives watch the giraffes when they are re. posing. and get as near to them as they can before they dash forward; the gigantic beasts get up in their scrambling mari ner, and move,off as fast as they can; the horsemen pursue them, and if their horses are good, they are not very long neck begins gradually in coming up with them, and they fire when the muzzle al most touches the shoulder of the giraffe.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. n . Yesterday the market was very flat. and not more than 2,000 bas sold, to-day there has been a better inquiry, and the sales are 3,60. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Oct. 9. Since Tuesday last our stocks of Wweat and Flour froth foreign ports have been considerably increased, but of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ireland and Coastwise, the imports have again been very moderate. The weather, though deficient of sunshine during the last fourteen days, has been uninterruptedly dry, and favourable for improving the condition of the'llew Grain, and for forwarding the operations of harvest, and another week or two of such weather would do much towards its completion, althOugh from information on which we can rely, it is not much more than half secured in this and in the :northern districts, and even up tss yesterday a great ex tent of ground was still covered with stookS, and no small quantity of Wheat and Oats still uncut. The demand has been more limited during the past week here, in London, and in the Yorkshire mar kets for all kinds of Grain, Flour, and Meal, but last quoted prices have been pretty well supported. The duty on Rye from foreign ports is increased since Friday last is 6d, on Pease decreased is 6d per quartet, and on Wheat, as an ticipated, it has increased two steps. having become Its 8d per qr. and 103 Old per brl on Flour, and it is very likely that on Friday next it will further increase two steps. and the duty on Wheat from British Colonies will then be 5s per qr ; the duty of 10s 8d has been submitted on about 7500 qrs of ‘N heat, hut it is now virtually pro hibitory, we must still abstain from affixing any quotations of Wheat and Flour in bond until the stocks thereof accumulate, of other kinds of Grain in bond they are almost nominal. The supplies to this day's market have been very much increased by arrivals yesterday, particularly of Foreign Wheat, which pro bably will he bonded, and of Malt coastways part of which may not be included in the import note, in consequence of which, and of a decline in London yesterday, of 25 to 4s per quarter on Wheat, and a continuance of fair weather, we have experienced a very dull market this day for every article in the trade, and the millers and dealers were buyers very timidly, although a decline since last Tuesday was •submitted to as under : about 2d to 3d on fine quali ties, and of 3d to 4d per 701bs on ordinary qualities of old and on all new Wheat (the condition and quality of which from Ireland does not improve) Id to ld per 451b5., on Oats, old and new, 6tl to Is per sack on Flour and Oatmeal; 2d to 3d per 601hs on Barley ; and is to is 6d per quarter on Beans and Pease.
