Ile wttual im press upon the gentlemen present the great importance to the 'Were :ass of the -ass'oeiation of, heving gentlemen of influence amongst its- members. He again expresied his t eTatilieation that they had the name of Hutton its the list of their members, and'he should be glad to see others of equal influence joining them.. . • Sfr. CARSON seconded the resolution. He also was glad that amongst the strangers who had honoured, them with, their preeence this evening was Mr. Hutton, jun., of Hutton, whose father, on all occasions, had been the uutiinching supporter of canservative principles. .slr. Hut:roe sail, the .first and most prominent feeling that • anise in his bosom was that of gratitude. It was only that morning that, being on the grand jury, he heard by chance that suet! a meeting was to be held that eveniug. Not knowing whetbei it might suit their convenien c e or mee t th e ir approba time hol, asked their chairman's opinion as to the propriety Of his being present. 'fbat gentleman told him that as it was notlikely that he would be taken for a radical he would not be caiii,iered as an intruder. (A laugh.). A name was in many caer 'but a vain and empty boast; he was not conscious, however, thachis name carried with it anything discreditable. He there- ' fore. veetured to as.k leave to be present, glad as.he always was to identiSyhimself with anything founder* upon conservative prin• etples, particularly in times like these, when those who ought to protect and maintain, not that only which was considered advan tagepes to the state, but that also which was advantageous to the other and more prominent half of the constitution, the church; when he saw ministers openly attacking, or . insiduously under mining, that better half of the constitution, he did- tint Shank it was derogatory to himself, or intrusive upon them, to ask. them for assistance in defending their holy and venerable church. (Much applause.) Ile should not be far wrong in stating, that , the hour they, or any part of them, .or any caused the church to be..seParated froth the constitution, in that self saMehour they dOg the grave of the constitution. ( Hear.) In . loiakio.g, back to.former tones, he need scarcely remind them of the ,nannes of Cranmer.

If by God's .blessing. he shonht, live to succeed his father, and his estate, his person, or any mental -capacity he possessed, small thOngh it might be, - should be required for the service of his country, all should be freely bestowed. ( Renewed cheers.) This promise he wished to put on record. He had already told them he did not desire to catch them by idle words; hut- he asked them silently and quietly to recollect his assertion; and if, at. the end of his life, they found reason to upbraid him for unfaithfulness to their cause and the cause of their .beloved land, then let this promise of his, the first time he had had the honour of addressing a public assembly its Liverpool, though not the first time he bad attended a Conservative meeting in Liverpool, be brought in remembrance agaidsthim. The longer he liaed„ the more he had read radical papers, the more he had leUrned.rb detest the principles they advocated, and to honour aipOupport. the principles advocated by the Conservative papers. Nor was it merely from the journals alone, though perhaps the best means of ascertaining the sentiments of. Jai ge masses of men, that -he took his opinion. We might ot en doubt what we heard—svc could not disbelieve what we saw. ( Hear.) A remarkable observation hail been attributed lovely to 1.1.0 rd Melbourne, to which, in conclusion, he wished to refer. , Lora Melbourne w , s.reported to have said, " that he was not aware whether the Queen had the eye of the hawk of the talon of the eagle." It was no disdainful compai 'son for a queen. She ought always to be vigilant—always to have the eye of the hawk,, to penet rate the hitl f rieis plans and purposes of her enemies, the.Radit:als, that she.niignt he enabled to detect, to uproot. and to crush then!—(loud cheers) —and she ought to have the talon of,the eagle, to carry away that Lumb into, regions.unknovt n (much laughter end clieers)—i hat when crossing, like Sinned, to the ielend where he expected to find. diamonds, he might drop and drown.in the sea. (Reiterated cheers.) He thanked them for, the courtesy and kindness with which they had listelied to him, and also for the datteripg manner in which they ,had enrolled him amongst the gentlemen ,whom he saw around him. The CHAIRMAN now proceeded again to the business of read irsks over the names of the new members proposed. , . Bussis:es proposed the thanks of the meeting -to •the Chairman, fir the manner in which he had presided over the business of the meeting. (Loud cheers.) r. lie LT° N. seconded the resolution. ..The CHAIRMAN begged to, return thanks for the honour which !hay had conferred upon him. He assured them that, in the first instance, knoviug his inability to fill the chair, his feeling was one, of regret that souse more able individual hail not.been apausiojed. Ile, had, however, come forward to de nie duty .to the best of his ability. '(Cheers.) He was &lighted to hear that. several gentlemen had been elected to fill the office of vice presidents, because he felt that the Conservative cause had suf fered by gentlemen keeping back. (Cheers.) tle was glad that gr. LawrenCe,lslr. Gailstone,,and other gentlemen were ready to fill the cheir whenever they were called upon. (Cheers.) He was convinced, that, if gentlemen would enrol themselves in the association, they would become a united band, having strength to conquer, and to return, whenever it sees, required, two Conservative members. ( Loud cheers.) With these fete. observations, he once more thanked them; and ' 'whenever he was, called upon .to All the (Alive again, he pro ' raised them he would do his duty to the hest of his ability. Three cheers were given for the Queen, and the meeting sepa rated. The number of members enrolled et this meeting was 52. ".EXTRAOIIDINARY DEFALCATION." TO THE EDITOR OP THE LIVERPOOL STAND✓IRD: ANCHESTER, 2.11 March, 1838. SlR,—The statement contained in your paper of Friday last, under the head " Extraordinary Defalcation," is so much cal culated to mislead the public mind, and to injure private cha racter, that I feel it a duty, in the first instance, to place before you. in juxta-position, a consecutive abstract of those state ments, and of the real facts, rind I presume your own sense of justice will at once induce you to give publicity to the correc tion of your former publication, through the medium, and to the extent, wnich inflicted the injury of which I think the friends of the parties have much cause to complain . .

On Wednesday evening the last of these agreeable Sssem blages was held. Taking a retrospective view of them, the at tempt to introduce these meetings into Liverpool has sncceeded 'remarkably well, tar from first to last they have been well attended. - an'd on one or two occasions brilliantly so. The meeting on .-Wednesday night was not equal to what we ex pected, it would have been, en many strangers of distinction being in• the town; in fact, though numerously attended, it was neither so crowded, nor was the class of visitors generally so select as on the former occasion, which was decidedly the most brilliant soiree of the season. The Mayot 'acted as president of the evening, and the lecture delivered by Mr. Bather, on the fine arts generally, as compared with British art. Ile noticed the capabilities of British artists, and inculcated the necessity of encouraging them, that they might thereby attain that excellence of which they were capable. The ronins were aiisamen With aer:ral pintings and prints lent for the ocr'a *km, and 'noteber of additional' aittogrephs - to the splendid imbibition of last soiree, attracted universal attention.

How glorious, through his depth of light, Rolls the majestic sun ! The willows, waked from winter's death, Give out a fragrance like thy breath — The summer is begun ! Ac, is the long bright summer day; - Hark, to that mighty crash !-- • '-•• The lonsen'd ice -ride breaks away— The•smitten waters flash: • • Seaward the•glitteriug mountain rides,._ While, down its'green translucent sides, The foamy torrents dash. See, love, my boat is moor'd for thee, By ocean's weedy floot--- The petrel does not skim the sea Mire swiftly than My oar. We'll go.where, on.the rocky isles,. Her eggs the screamiug sea-fowl piles Beside the pebbly shore, Or; hide thee where the poppy blows, With wind-flowers trail and fair, White I, upon this isle of - snows, Seek and defy the bear; Fierce though he be, and huge of frame,' This arm his savage strength shall tame, And drag him from his lair. When crimson sky and limey cloud Bespeak the summer tied, • • And stioas. that melt no inure, enshroud The valleys white and dead, . I'll build of ice thy winter home, Wit trglistening walls and lucid dome, And floor with skins bespread. The White fox by thy couch shall play; And, from the frozen skies, The meteors of a mimic day Shall flash upon thine eyes. • And I—for such thy' vow—meanwhile, Shall hear thy voice and see thy smile, Till that long midnight flies. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE LATE PRIZE FIGHT MURDER. ( From tri'e Sfurning.Herald,) We have received from various quarters communica tions 'on, the subject of late pugilistic murder in Cambridgeshire - and on the conduct of certain magis trates in the immediate vicinity, of some of whom it is alleged, that they sanctioned the murder passively,. by their presence, and actively - , by betting on the result of the contest ! • We trust•that the conduct of the individnals to whom has been entrusted the preservation of the peace in the neighbourhood of the scene where the murder was coot- miffed, will be rigorously inquired into ; anl that every individual against whom a case of remissness-in the dis. charge of his duty—(for we pass over the consideration of a case so monstrous as the direct encouragement by a magistrate of a breach of the law)—well be reinovNl from the roil of justices:. We tru-t, moreover, that the Home•office will, without 'delay; atone, as far as possi ble, for the disgraceful remissness which it has hitherto exhibited on this subject, by taking effectual measures for the prevention, in future, of such brutalising exhi bitions I • County magistrates-may be called to account by the Home• office; and the Home-office itself may be•corn pellet], by the expression of public indignation, to dis charge its duty, in cases like the present ; but there is a class of persons concerned in these Outrages upon so cial decency to whom no official responsibility attaches, and upon whom the voice of public opinion has little in fluence. We allude to the wealthy and aristocratic pa troris of the prize-ring. Of these an liishuvarquis, of large fortune, and of habits disgraceful_ to a gentleman, is understood -to he the leader.. -This person has long been accustomed to associate with ruffians and despera does :—and it has for years been his pride to vie with them in the acquirement and display of their peculiar ac complislunents. His object of ambition has been of late to restore the prize-ring to Abe• glories Of its condition five- and , twenty years ago he is stated to have been mainly instrumental in getting up the late fatal tight—fatal, as some believe, to both the wretched _corn., batants! Upon a person of the tastes and pursuits of this nobleman,-it were rank folly to expect that any ex pression of public opinion can have effect. If he were not sunk below the range of public opinion, public opi nien would have driven him, long ago, from the.associ-. ations in which he delights. There may, however, yet be left modes of reaching this noble violator of public decency. A few months at.the tread-mill would, as one of our correspondents suggests, in all probability, miti gate the ardour of his disposition to appear-as an alder aod---abetter in. the perpetration . of murder, or man slaughter, or whatever may bee the title, which a cow ner'sjury shall assign to the process which deprived Phelps of life. • There is, we-are aware, current a species of impudent cant, which seeks to rank prize-fighting amongst the manly sports of the people. Wh e n the mass of the po pulation in this country was much more "manly" in its habits, than it is now, prize-fighting was utterly un-- known;—and how "manliness" of sentiment is to be induced by the exhibition of a brace of ruffians, beating each other to-death, in- cold blood, for the-amusement of ruffians with heavier purses than themselves, it might puzzle casuists to explain. The love's . and .patrona of boxing meet in public "Rinses, and in the lowest haunts of depravity ; but if the mass of the labouring poor are :to be.restored to " manly" habits, their propensity to fre quent gin shops and scenes of vicious excitement must be lessened, not increased,. The acquirement and dif fusion of habits that, in truth, deserve the name of manly"—might perhaps be facilitated by, a legislative enactment that should prevent the labouring- classes in towns from beibg subjected to excessite toil—which should leave -them a- little time for out-door exercise— and which should, by 'preventing the utter exhaustion of their physical energies, save them from the necessity of using vicious stimulants, and from the contamination of the scenes where prize-fights are concocted. Prize4ghting is, in fact, the. lowest and moat debasing corm of gambling. It is gambling in human pain—it may he, in human blood ! It is akin to cockfighting—to bull-baiting—to do?: • fighting I If these practices .con • duce to the growth of "manly" habits, why so, perhaps, may prize-fighting. It remains, however, to be pointed out by what subtle process the exhibition .of scenes of cold-blooded cruelty is fitted to call forth in the specta tors any of the better qualities of manhood. If the object - of the patrons of the priie-ring be-to discover how large a quantity of physical pain human beings can endure, they ought, undoubtedly, to recom mend the introduction of the American practice-gouging, and of the continental habit of employing the knife. • if' the infliction of a certain amount of bruises has a ten dency to elicit the " manliness" of die speCtators of the brutality, let the degraded actors in the scene be encoo. raged to improve upon their present customs, and boldly force each other's eyes out, -or rip open each other's bowels! •If there be virtue in the habits of our prize ring, there most be a larger amount of virtue in the ha bits to which we allude. We. are astonished that the men who- advocate; a-con• tinoance of the practice of hanging -human beings for offences against property, have not discovered that the practice of hanging tends to make the spectators, more " manly !" The logic of the prize ring is susceptible of wide application.. - . Mr. Martin framed an act for the protection of dumb animals from the cruelty - of their drivers. We call upon Loud John - Russell to inf roduce'an act for the prevention of scenes of cruelty a thousand times more fearful in their influences than any which.ever preceded the intro duction of un over-driven bullock to Smithfield. _ THE SCOTTISH CHURCH COMMISSION. • From the Scottish Guardian.) -None w;11 accuse us of haste or rashness in taking up the government proposal in reference to endowments. We have purposely used all forbearance, in the .hnpe that it would turn out more favourable than some of the ac counts of the parliamentary proceedings- had led us to twlieve. Even still we can scarcely persuade ourselves that Lord Melbourne means to put off. the chnrch with such an insulting scheme as has been announced; but in case this should be the ultimatum, let. our readers and the public think.for a little of its merits. It is gravely - intended to do nothing for the large towns! The royal com Missioners, after a•waste of. nearly three years, and an expenditure. of £30,000, have .ascertained. that there are 40,000 poor . , perishing souls in Edinburgh, and 60,000 in Glasgow, and vet nothing. is to be done to bring nearer to them the Wotd of Life. They are to remain in their nroral wretchedness. 'They are to perish still. Can anything be more absurd or monstrous ? These are the only _ towns about which any report has been given to Parliament. The government are not to know of any destitution elsewhere; and vet, in spite of all promises and engagements, the proved cases ate to be cast aside. In-the name ofcommon sense, what was the use of the commission ? Of what consequence were its inquiries and results, if the prOof of a ~destitution o f 100,000 was to be of no.avail ? It is a perfect farce--a mockery of. the poor man—a fraud upon the Public. What is• the use of the commissioners still parading about the country, going to Stirling one day, and Dun fermline the next, when they must know, quite well that their masters intend to do nothing,. and that it is the same thing to then) whether there be a destitution of half a million, or no destitution at all ?- We wonder •how the commissioners have the face to en on with the public hypocrisy any longer. Had the govetnment said that they were voluntaries, anti that they did not intend to give a shilling for church extension, f it her in. town or country, we could, however base and infidel the deterli. nation, have understood it ; hut these •same men, who are to abandon perishing multitudes in Edinbnigh and Glasgow to their fate, tell us that they mean in certain circumstances to supply the destitute in the highlands and islands. .Wity? Where is the consistency, . Ate the poor degraded families of the large towns not as great objects of compassion, as load claimants for assist ance, as the highlander or islander? Are moral aver sions to what is good not as real and as hard - to over come as physical - difficulties to attendance on religiotis instruction ? Why are the large towns, the very centres of vice, and, moreover, the sources of much of the cor ruption which extends to the. country, to be delivered over to helpless wretchedness? Why is the retnedy.not to be applied where the disease is most malignant and severe? Was there ever such medical treatment as this.? Must plain and sensible men be driven to the ex planation, that this high, and .patriotic, and no patronage administration—these friends of liberty , and the poor, dare not do what their conscience tells them is right, for fear of offending the dissenters, who are concentrated in a few of the large towns, and who threaten them with the loss . of .their patronage ? The fears of the govern ment, and the vested rights of the dissenters in their chapel debts, are to stand between the Word of God and dying souls, and one generation may go to destruction after another, steeped in pauperism and intemperance, licentiousness and crime. Only let the go% eminent feel secure in their:places for a little longer, and let the (his , senter get his interest of five per cent. upon the chapel debt, and who cares for the blood of souls, or the misers( of families, or the ruin. of .a generation! What can be more revolting to the poor—to the large towits---to the church—to the country at large ? Will it be borne? The government and their friends cOMPlain,, forsooth, that the church is poUtica/,,because she opposes them in such monstrous proposals as these. .How can she do otherwise, if she means to retain any character at all for sense or conscience ? Will any, man, who . deserves the name of a chnrchman, hold up his face after this in de fence of the government, and say that.the church should confide in them, and beware of uttering one word against such consistent and honourable men ? Strange, that. men who have such tender consciences for the vested rights of the dissenters, have so few scruples about the civil rights of landed proprietors! LIVERPOOL MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. LECTURES ON GEOLOGY. On Saturday evening Dr. Scouter delivered his Mild lecture. If we pay the smallest attention to the different stratas of rock which we.meet with on. the surface .of the.glubc, ,we shall find that they may be divided into two exceedin,gl% well classi fied classes, which have.. been _produced in totally different manners, and have occasioned totally different phenomena. First of all. we perceive important series of rocks totally-destitute. of organic remains' placed without any apparent order amongst the o: her ocks,often giving oat prolongations, or dykes, or over flOwing strata, and of a highly crystalline structure. They ex hibit no traces of stratification, and thus.foruish decisive trots that they were - not formed by water, but are, of chemicaforigio, and produced by volcanic action. A second division of rocks occurs in several beds or strata one above the other. These beds are generally parrallel to. each , other_and. instead of being ofa crystailiue nature have been formed mechanically of matters which have been .about t , y the agency of the water. Hence, therefore, the disturbances which have taken. place in stratified rocks, have been occasioned by the upheaviug motion of the igneous rocks which have shot .up..through the ..aqueons rocks in this manner to such a height,.as to form mountains of extreme elevation. The very term stratified carries an hypothetical idea along with it, that the rucks defined as strata have all been deposited by water. Striate, howet,er, are great beds 'Jr masses of rocks, whose uppermost and undermost surfaces form parallel planes, Varying in thickness. according to the nature of the surfaces upon which they have been deposited. It is very rarely that We meet with horizontal strata innature, they ate generally in-, dined in various directions at certain angles to the horizon, which are easily ascertained. This inclination is called their dip. The stratification of the secondary and tertiary forma tions which represent the newest of the ,uppermost rocks, is exceedingly distinct, but that of hindermost rocks is not so, owing to the influence which the heat of the igneous rocks has had upon it. They are nut, however, so indistinct as to he un observable to a scientific eye. There is a: variety of undoubted evidence to prove that the .stratified rocks were originally de posited in a horizontal position. That they were funned under water; is rendered clear, for the fact of rounded pebbles, sea shell and marine plants being found in them. and the position of thes e fossils with respect to the parallel surfaces of the st rata are such as to have no doubt of their .having, been , de posited when the strata were lying horizontally. That the for metro!' of the stratified rocks was gradual and of greater slow ness, is proved by the successive colonies of shell fish that we find in the same stratum, as well as by the. ditrerent layers, of conglomerate with which it likewise abounds. Thus, sup posing a river in the summer to bring dowu fine sand to thesea, and in winter when its tempestuous current was stronger, small pebbles, it is evident•that in the course of. years we sfiould have successive layers of the fine sand and pebbles at the' bottom of . those streams where the rivers deposited their contents. France there is a deposit of wiaatis termed Indusial lime-stope, in a .district which was formerly the site, of a fresh water lake, the thickness of which is very :great. The forma don of this lime stone must have been: exceedingly slow, as it is entirely coinposed of the skeletons of minute insects. The formation of strata is going on at the present. period, the ocean being the receptacle of tie materials for future rocks. The Adriatic sea was lately. sounded by a continentaluhiloso pher, and its upper surface found to consist of loose fragments of corals, shells, and crustacea; the whole mixed with fine loud and sand. At the top this was loose and soft, but .at the depth of a foot or two' it was as hard as any rock. This shows that at the bottom of the Adriatic the formation of solid rocks is going on at the present moment. .The greater number of our sand stones are nothing inure or less than..the remains of pre viously existing rocks which have beets worn down and their detritus carried to the sea and formed into other rocks. The various strata, however, have been deposited in a very loose state over the channel of the ocean. They. are.merely, sand sir clay which have been deposited by the storms. It now be- Coutes our duty to inquire what has been the means of changing the_soft mud or sand into the present, hard and compact rucks. A great many causes,-have, no doubt, been in operation to pro duce such great changes, one of the most powerfuluf which, in all probability, is the pressure of the ocean,. .Now in some places, according to Laplace, the sea is about 12 miles in depth. The . pressure occasioned by a column of water of this length would be sufficient,.witbatt any other aid, to compress the sand' into the hardest stones. . Of tins Bramates press affords a prac tical instance. Scoresby, in his account of the whale-fisheries, gives a striking instance of the powerful pressure of water•at a comparatively shori depth 1, om the surface. A boat engaged in the whale-fishery was taken down by a whale in its sudden descent, after being harpooned. Upon the subsequent capture of the whale the boat Was recovered, but bonsai to tie totally useless for any of the purposes to which ,wood is applied. So powerfully was it compressed, that it could neither ftiatin the water, be burned, or be cut with an axe. Another very power ful agent in solidifying rocks, is volcanic heat. Carbonate of lime has been another active instrument in consolidating rocks, particularly. in volcanic countries, where thermal springs are of frequent occurrence. Calcareous depositions are common in this country. When water contains any carbonate or sul phate of lime in solution, it is commonly called hard. The lec turer here shewed a beautiful specimen of calcareous deposition which had been brought from Italy by.. Mr. R. V. Yates. The carbonate of lime had deposited itself upon a number of matted sticks which, upon decaying, had left the carbonate of lime of a cellular structure. Silica being soluble. in water, by some pro cess of nature, has also assisted in uniting rocks.. Iron exerts a wonderful power in the solidification of red:sand-stone. It is well, when we have natural instances on a small scale before us. of the operations which have taken place in nature on an extensive scale, to avail ourselves of them. The lecturer here chewed a. nail which had been immersed in the, bay of DUblin for some time, and having corroded and oxydized in the water, had united itself with the surrounding pebbles. so.as to convert the whole into one solid mass. This is an exceedingly. common and most. beautiful illustration of.the mode in which a great many sand-stones have been cementeittoger. her. Another very curious mode in which rocks are unites: is, one which we would not expect. .When silica, in a ininute.state of division, meets with clay or an oxide of iron, it combines.with it, and forms a very bard silicate. Common- mortaris merely a silicate, of alu mina and lime.. If is not a ,carbonate, This. is of YelTgfeat importance in architecture. For instance, the Roman maulers were celebrated for their hardness. Wherever the Romans went, they always found good mortar. The grand reason of this was, that they procured the best and finest sand they could. and stirred the mortar fur a loug time, so as intimately to mix the silica and the lime. Now the same, no doubt, .frequently occurs in nature, and although it may seem a curious fact to notice, we find, that in the best Roman mortar, the quantity of lime is far more thanthe carbonic acid could possibly saturate, and, consequently, that the greatest portion of it has.heen con verted intria silicate, and nut a carbonate. Such, then, is an exposition of the modesin which rocks become solidified. Some times only one of the Nauses may be called intouvtion, and it is the business..of the geologist by analysis to determine what the solidifying principle is. Strata being thns . forined, we shall proceed to another branch of the subject. We find a greatuumber : of strata perfectly ho. rizontal, but this is-for from being universally the case; in some instances they occur perpendicularly; and it has been previously proved, that all the stratified rocks were .deposited horizontally, we arrive at a most beautiful and important fact in geology, that the changes which have taken place in the his tory of our planet have not always been slow, but violent stud - unequal. All the stratified rocks of the Alps. the Andes, and the Ilimala)as, were originally deposited at the bottom of the sea in an horizontal position,ulthough they are now in nuttier ails instances met with upon their edges. We have in this country instances of the• same, strata.lying horizontally on one place, and upon their edges to another. We often find that the strata on one side of an igneous rock would join the strata on the other, thus showing thatthe rock has beenupheaved through the strata. - It is perfectly clear that those strata which are the nearest to the lotions of the sea are first deposited. The upper most of the stratified rocks.are certaiuly the newest, the under most must be the oldest, becanse.they have been deposited suc cessively one above another in order.. _ Whet strata are. parallel to each other,.whether perpendicu larly or horizontally, they are said to be conformable to each other, that is, to have been formed during one epoch or period of rest. But. where horizontal strata rest upon perpendicular strata, they.are said to b e unconformable one to another, th a t is, to have been formed. at different periods.. Besides these, there have been .disturbances of another kind. hocks have .been subjected, to a great variety of mechanical violences„ by which the) have been curved and contorted.. They.have been subject to what are called fractures and. dislocations.. Th ese , in some cases form rock faults. They occur very abundantly in our coal mines, and perform a very important part in them. The contortions of the .strataare accounted for by supposing the rocks subjected at the same,period to a vriety.of pressures) Sir James Hall ascertained, that, by putting layers of cotton and linen cloth upon a table with a book .upon them, andrhen applying pressure. to each side, he could produce appearances or a similar kind to those observed in. nature. Sometimes we find contortions on a gigantic scale spread over the fare of a eouttiry forming mountains and %alleys. Many beautiful in stances of this occur in Kent, and they are very cummuu iu the centre of England. Artesian wells present •a variety of useful phenomena,, and a knowledge of the principle upon which they depend may be the means of produciog much happiness. For instance, there arc many portions or the world, sot b as the great desert in Aft tea, apparently destitute of water, in which Artesian wells may in idl probability be found of utility. These wells are formed by a porous stratum, being included between tart impermeable ones. Thus, suppose the uppermost and lowermost at three strata to be composed or clay, and the central stratum of gravA the rain would collect in tie central .later, and the strata which .covered it being punctured, waold gush up with sionerforce, to t he surface of the earth. For instance, in London, when we LivimpQm. Tipt TABLE. Jim. 1 Hs. i --- 1..-- r -- I H. M. 1 F. T. ( Tuesday 27 1 0 8.21 11 Venus rises 4h 21im morn.

Many of the breweries in London are supp;ied wirlt water by means of these Artesian wells. Al Cniswick'a copiOUli supply of water .was in this.manner obtained after boring feet deep. Itoget is of opinion that the OurninO, 'sands of Africa rest upon clay,:and that if this clay were punctured water would rise. There are many interesting circumstances , attending these wells; in some part of France they rise with such force and in inch abundance as to be einployeil to turn water wheels, •and bring up with tketu seeds and remains of p!ants, shellp, &c., thus proving the strength of the currents beneath the surface of the earth. • • • . We now come,to the classification of strata. As they are ex ceedingly numerous it is necessary to group them so that theY May he readily determined. There are four species of strata.. If we examine,our lakes and other, places into which ,water runs, we find layers of peat, mud, and marl. These we call, the re cent formations which are ,goinz On. Then again we find rocks. The. Isle, of Wight is a,tertiaryformivion, as well as the Basin of Paris, and a number of other isolated 'places, but this for mation is of comparatively Very limited extent. It has:been formed ; in Jivers., Beneath those we find another set, 'which are called the secondary rocks, and beneath these are the pri mary rocks. Time primary stratified ro c ks contain very few, if auv, organic, remams„and they are. of.a,crystalline.arranv, ment. Here, therefore, we have four orders of stratified rocks. There is another set, called the igneous rocks, which'We will consider in our next lecture. The CASE SMITEI v. NVALSH.

STEAM TO NEW YORK.—We perceive by our adiertising columns the Siiius steamer has sailed &oat Loodon. She calls at Cork, whence she is intended to sail on Monday next. , The Ocein leaves this port to- rrow, at one o'clock in the after noon. taking passengers and letters for the Sirius. The letters will be forwarded on the same terms as by the sailing packets, and no doubt the public will avail themselves of the accommo dation thus afforded. PRESENTATION O.F PLATE =on Thursday week last, a num her of the friends of the late Mr.-Murdoch, (it apes Inn. White chapel, met at the house of his widow to present in Mr. John Alexander, miniature painter, of thiS town, a token of their respect, .and of the high estimation they have of his talents as an artist, he having executed a faithful , and highly finished likeness of the deceased, after his death, from recollecien. An excellent supper was provided for the occasion. which did intieh credit to Mrs. Murdoch; afer which a handsome silver snuff-box, with a suitable inscription, was presented to him - by the.chairman, .%‘ho took occasion to eulogize, in warm and.ap propriate terms, Mr. Alexander's talents, not only for this particular work, but for the great success which haS attended his self-taught exertions in the profession which he has chosen. —flhion. MR. LEE'S BENEFIT.—By the announcement in our list of dramatic advertisements, we perceive that Mt% Lee has fixed upon Monday evening next for his benefit to take place.. We have not for some time noticed so rapid a hold upon the good opinion of the public as in the ease of this very clever actor. In every character that he has played he has evinced great Jact and knowledge of human nature.—We trust that he will have an ()vett:lowing house. His merits deserve the . warmest eneour agement, His Jingle, in'the Pickwicks. is the finest represents-, lion that has been seen on the Liverpool boards for many years. -ENTENSIVE ROBBERY IN BIRMINGHAM.-Op Saturday afternoon last, between the hours of two and hallpatt three o'clock, during the absence of the parties generally on the premises, the. counting-house of Messrs. Thomas Battled and Sons, manutaeturers of pearl and other buttons, thimbles, and iron, tinned, and Britannia metal spoons, and bell-fOuriders, Great Charles street, Birmingham, was • entered, by .means of a false key. The thief or thieves—for the thing has :he ap• pearance of having been accomplished by smite London "cracks man''—then picked the lock of a desk, and carriedatff a number of bank notes. bills of exchange, and crash, amounting to up wards of .090, of which the aggregate amount of eleven bills of exchange (of which the payment is•stopped) is 1:513,. exclusive of an order on a London banking-house for £320, pavable in Anril. The bank notes. were three of £IOO each, and one of £lO, all ofihe Bank of England, and two £5 notes of a Birm ingham bank; and the cash in gold and silver amounted to about 4 '38. The disPosable part of this booty may, therefor~, be estimated at about £350. • A reward has been offered by Messrs. Thomas Bart leet and Sons.. , • • LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 27.
