Thou little laughing child, With face so fair and mild, Who hast my time beguiled; Thou drawest toy attention From themes 't were vain to mention Of Poes! ! 's invention, — To make me smile on thee, In all thy prattling glee Of pure simplicity ! Oh! who, dear child, can guess One half the happiness Tbat now thy path may bless? Still, may thy future years, In this dim land of tears, Know no dark, dismal fears! Still may thy joys increase, And, where all troubles cease, May'st thou descend in peace:— Like the transcendant ray Gilding the parting ray, May thy life pass away ! Crosby, October, 1838. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE AFFAIRS OF SPAIN. ( From the Morning Herald.) The ruin which seems to impend over the "liberal" cause in Spain must suggest reflections the reverse of comfortable to the ministry which sanctioned the em ployment of a band of British marauders to win gold for English stockjobbers, at the cost of aggravating, tenfold, all the inevitable horrors of civil wat in the Peninsula. The schemers in this country have been disappointed. Their patrons in the ministry have been humbled by the progress of the Spanish struggle. Who has forgotten the magnificent expectations that were entertained as to the result of the contest, by the stockjobbing advocates of "free institutions" in Spain ? Who has forgotten Lord Palmerston's frequent predic tions on the subject ? The bubble has at length burst. The cause of "free institutions" in Spain has proved to be the cause of public robbers—of men who have oppressed and pluudered the poor to an extent never attempted by the most reckless tyrant whoever sat upon that throne which is now the object of bloody contention. The character of England has been se riously compromised by the disgraceful part which General Evans and his mercenaries, with the full ap probation of the whig government, played in the busi ness ;—and the end of the whole affair promises to be the utter overthrow of the Queen of Spain's authority —that Queen of whom we have been, for years, as sured by all the • whig journals that she (as Lord Brougham would have phrased it) " lived in the hearts of her subjects." Spain has reason to be sick of the champions of "free institutions." England has reason to be sick of the "non-intervention" foreign policy of the present vernment! ' TO WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR, ESQ. "Thus shall memory often in dreams sublime, Gatch a glimpse of the days that are over; Thus, sighing, look through the waves of time, For the long-faded glories they cover." Derrynane Abbey, Oct. 4, 1838. SlR,—You wrong me much in supposing that I do not know you. " Not to know you were to bespeak myself un known." • Little do you imagine how many persons besides myself have been delighted with the poetic imaginings which inspired those lines on one of the wonders of my fancy—the varying sounds emitted by marine shells— " Pleased, they remember their august abodes And murmur as the ocean murmurs there." Would that I had you here, to show you " their august abode" in its most awful beauty. I could show you at noon tide, when the stern south-wester had blown long and rudely, the mountain waves coming in from the illimitable ocean in majestic succession, expending their gigantic force, and throwing up stupendous masses of foam against the more gigantic and more stupendous mountain-cliffs that fence not only this, my native spot, but forms tbat eternal barrier which prevents the wild Atlantic from submerging the cultivated plains and high-steepled villages of proud Britain herself. Or, were you with me amidst the Alpine scenery that sur rounds my humble abode, listening to the eternal roar of the mountain torrent as it bounds through the rocky defiles of my native glens, I would venture to tell you how I was born within the sound of the everlasting wave, and how my dreamy boyhood dwelt upon imaginary intercourse with those who are dead of yore, and fed its fond fancies upon the ancient and long-faded glories of that land which preserved literature and Christianity when the rest of the now civilised Europe was shrouded in the darknesS of godless ignorance. Yet! my expanding spirit delighted in these daydreams; till, catching from them an enthusiasm which no disappoint ment can embitter nor accumulating years diminish, 1 formed the high resolve to leave my native land better after my death than I found her at my birth, and, if possible, to make her what she ought to be— • " Great, glorious, and free. First flower of the earth, and first gem of the sea." Perhaps, if I could show you the calm and exquisite beauty of these capacious bays and mountain promontories, softened in the pale moonlight which shines this lovely evening, till all which during the day was grand and terrific, has become calm and serene in the silent tranquillity of the clear night —perhaps You would readily admit that the man who has been so often called a ferocious demagogue, is, in truth, a gentle lover of nature, an enthusiast of all her beauties— " Fond of each gentle and each dreary scene," and catching from the loveliness as well as the dreariness of the ocean and Alpine scenes with which he is surrounded, a greater ardour to promote the ,good of man, in his overwhelm ing admiration of the mighty works of God. Let me now proceed to answer the matters of your letter. They are various, desultory, unconnected; something of the disorder of unsettled poetry, and a good deal of its imagina tion and fiction. Sometimes you make statements, and then again you ask questions which imply the allegation of facts that never existed. I will follow you as well as I can, de ploring that a man of your talent should be so entirely igno rant of the real state of Ireland. You speak to me as to a man familiar with fallacious hopes and unexpected disappoint ments. lam not so. My experience is of a success almost equal to my own hopes, and beyond the expectations of those who acted with me. lam the organ of a brave, a generous, and, above all, a religious people. Why should I despair? You tell me authoritatively " not to believe that, by recon structing a House of Commons in Ireland, I will obtain my object." Sir, 1 place no faith in your counsel. I know as fact, that no country ever progressed so fast and so exten sively in agricultural, manufacturing, and commercial pros perity, as Ireland did during the period that intervened be tween her assertion of legislative independence and its ex tinction. It is much safer to judge of the future from the past than to confide in your own opinion, who seem, indeed, to know nothing of the matter. You next proceed to ask me, "Was there ever so desperate a gang of scoundrels united in one confraternity as the last Irish House of Commons ?" Your question is an indiscreet one, but I reply to it at once. Yes—l have seen a more desperate and despicable gang of scoundrels—of scoundrels with infinitely less of temptation, yet infinitely more voraci . ous of rascality. Yes-1 have known scoundrels of so atro cious a description as to cant incessantly about religion—as perpetually to boast of the purity of Protestantism and their zeal for its maintenance, and yet to adopt, as one great mode of sustaining their pious objects, the most gross injustice committed through the medium o f diabolical p er j ur y ! You are, indeed, an incautious advocate of the continu ance of the Union ! The Irish people are entitled to have their parliament continued, unless it has Leen extinguished by a valid law. It is a maxim of British jurisprudence that fraud vitiates everything. More than one act of parliament bas been set aside for fraud by your Court of Chancery—your Court of Conscience. You say that the Union was the act of the most desperate gang of scoundrels that ever existed — the proof of their scoundrelism consisting in their having passed that very act. Can the magnanimous people of Ire land be bound by that desperate scoundrelism? Are the peo ple of Great Biitain justified in conscience, in justice, in honour, in availing themselves of a scoundrel trick? I thank you, good sir, for your character of th e last Irish p arliament, and for giving me as a proof of that character —the Union. Anxious as I am to avail myself of this admission, I must, however, proclaim that you - do injustice even to the Union llouse of Commons; for, in the first place, a majority of the members in 1799 rejected the Union proposal; a majority in of the Irish members were against it even the year 1800. But how was that majority turned into a minority? Why, by the government, the infamous Castlereagh at its head, purchasing up a sufficient number of the rotten boroughs, and returning fur them Scotch and English officers and ad venturers. It is some comfort, at least, that it was Scotch and English scoundrels who really carried the Union; and 1 wish you joy of being the cause of making this fact also pro minent. You proceed to ask how few of the Irish House of Coin mons abstained from the open sale of their constituents. You seem to be completely ignorant of the facts. Almost all those who had constituencies refrained fruits the sale of them. When the Union vote was carried in a house of 278 members by no greater majority than 43, the minority was 117 • and, if it had come to a castin g vote, the Speaker would ' have voted with the members who composed the mi nority. The men who refused to sell their constituents were thus 118 to 160. Twenty-two more Irishmen would have rendered the Union impossible; and yet the existing 118 are confounded in your indiscriminate vituperation with the desperate gang of scoundrels, Scotch and English, as well as Irish, who belonged to the majority. If you knew the history of that period, too, you would estimate highly the virtue of the glorious majority, who with stood every teinptatation to barter away the rights and liber ties of their country. Show me any 118 Englishmen or Scotchmen that ever resisted such unparalleled powers of in imidation and corruption. The pecuniary bribery alone exceeded three millions stirling, exclusive of one million two bundred and seventy-five thousand pounds, which more re cent parliamentary papers prove to have been laid out in the mere purchase of boroughs. Why, the teeth of your modern parliamentary scoundrels (for 1 use your own, your gentle word) would water at the idea of three millions in solid bribes !—I suppose that you are convinced that it would be impossible with that money to bribe one hundrend and sixty of the present House of Commons !! ! I shall leave you in the undisturbed possession of that opinion. But it is my duty to tell you that other and equally vile instruments were used in order to influence the majority. Perhaps you do not know that the " habeas corpus" act was suspended, and martial-law was proclaimed during the entire period of the Union discussion. The means, supplementary to mere corruption, by which the Union was carried, I shall describe, not in my own words, but in those of Lord Plunkett, the present Lord Chancellor of Ireland. Listen, I pray you, to Lord Chancellor Plun ket's description of these secondary means. They were, be said, and he said truly— " The deprivation of all legal protection to liberty or life. " The familiar use of torture. "The trial by couits-martial. " The forcible suppression of public meetings. " Iket_totaLthiling_of penile op4aon, and tLe use alarmed 910 ence." You may imagine that men of the rank of members of parliament were not likely to be intimidated by these means. But in Ireland, at that period, no rank, no station, no re spectability, could protect the victim of despotic power; it was a reign of terror. Sir Edward Crosbie, a baronet of ancient and most respectable family, of unquestionable loyalty, was hanged by the sanguinary caprice of some offi cers of the Carlow garrison. Mr. Devereux, of the counts - Wexford, was hanged, it was afterwards said, by Mistake . ! and the fate of young Mr. Byrne, of Ballymanus, acquitted, but executed—left no man secure for one moment of his li berty or his life. Sir, the Union was carried by more crates than have ever as yet been inserted in your calendar. Calling the Irish members scoundrels will not do ; it will not covet the hide.: ous atrocities by which that fatal measure, the Union, was 14ch!'=”4- More of the Yillany that achieved it was perpe- rated out of the house than within its walls. Blame Incas much as you may for endeavouring to restore to Ireland that legislature of which she was so basely swindled and so cri minally deprived. I thank you fur giving me this other op portunity of informing the youth of Ireland how it was that their national independence was annihilated. I confidently hope that the lesson will not he thrown away • and whilst I keep the boiling of their young blood within legal and con stitutional channels, I have no fear hat that in due time they will remember that Ireland was a nation, aud must be a na tion again—either by being embodied upon equal terms by the British community, or by obtaining equal rights and li berties for themselves. If this were the place for it, I could prove by historical documents that the Irish parliament was, beyond any com parison, more independent, and evinced more instances of disinterested patriotism, in the course of a few years, than did the parliament of England from the accession of the House of Brunswick to the death of George the Fourth. If I had your talent for calling scoundrels, what should I say of the British parliament that passed a vote of approba tion of the Walcheren expedition ?—that voted as a matter of fact that a pound note aud a shilling were equal in value to a golden guinea, at the very time that every member in the house, who happened to have a guinea in gold, could at once obtain for it a thirty shilling note of the Bank of Eng land ?—and, above all, that passed a vote of approval of the sanguinary massacre of men, women, and children—aye, of English men, English women, and English children, by the yeomanry and army at Manchester! Scoundrels, indeed l—wisy, the Irish parliament rise in the comparison, almost beyond the powers of calculation! Look, however, to modern times. Since 1829, the Irish people at large have participated in the representation of their own country. Compare the conduct of the majority of the Irish representatives since that period with that of the English members - and you will find we have voted for every extension of public franchise or privilege, and for the dimi nution of every public burthen, whilst the majority of the English members, in most instances, have voted directly the other way. There is no reason in the world why I should not be con vinced that if the union were repealed to-morrow, the mem bers of the Irish parliament would not (to say the least of them) be as honest, as intelligent, as independent, and as patriotic, as any men who have ever sat in the British House of Commons. You are next pleased to propose vour remedial measures for Ireland. In the first place, after twining through all possible mazes of culinary metaphors, you gravely suggest that I Should apply to parliament to confiscate to the profit of the poor of Ireland the tithes of the Irish Union peers, and the pay and pensions a::d other bribes, of the majority who carried the Union. This would, indeed, be a wretched provision for the Irish people. Ido not know what value could be set upon the titles which were obtained in exchange for the Union votes. We consider them little better than nicknames, and so far from desiring to participate in them, the Irish poor arc con tent that the Union lords should not only bear these nick names, but should, in addition, take the more appropriate title of " scoundrels," which y otr have bestowed upon them. Let them enjoy both; and let us say no more of the matter. As to the bribery, indeed, and the pensions—that is quite another business. These are materials of a different value. The bribery was extended not only to the Union members of parliament, but to every man who could in any way influence a vote, write a pamphlet, make a speech, or procure an au dress in favour of that measure—not only to every man who had any influence to support it but who affected to have such interest. Here would be a lot of prizes indeed; there would be something to feed the poor—if we could get at it. Aye,— there lies the rub: that is the difficulty of difficulties. The -money has been expended, eaten, drank, gambled; squan dered in every vice and in every profligacy. The individuals who received it have sunk into oblivion, and are as person ally rotten as they were politically so. They lived detested, and they died despised. He, the leader of them all— Castle reagh—aveneed his betrayed country by cutting his own throat, to avoid the false imputation of auotherhorrible crime of which he was guiltless ! Oh! how his country was re venged ! Almost all the rest of them are dead and forgot ten. There are few indeed alive. Of the pensioners I know but one who survives. There arc, indeed, but few living, and it would be trifling to strip these wrethces They are almost all gone: How are they blotted from the things that be ! How few—all weak and withered of their force, Stand on the verge of dark eternity, Like stranded rocks ! the tide returning hoarse, To sweep them flora our sight. No, sir, your plan will never answer. You might as well re require the worthy aldermen of the city of London to dis gorge for the benefit of the poor the civic feasts of the last twenty years. The image is a coarse one, but it is not there fore the lass accurate. Your next plan borders on the facetious. It is the having a Protestant as well as a Catholic bishop in every diocese in Ireland, at what you call the ample pay of £1,200 a-year each. As to the Catholic bishops, we have already one in every diocese; there being, I bless God, twenty-seven in all —four archbishops and twenty-three bishops. They would indeed consider £1,200 per annual each an ample endow ment ; but they are too wise and too pious to have anything at all to do with a state endowment. Pass them by. You must surely be in jest when you talk of £1,200 a year to a Protestant bishop. Why, what would a Protes tant bishop be with £1,200 a-year ? Oh, ridiculous !It would he hardly sufficient for Mis. Bishop's toilet, and the e Misses Bishop's dancing and music " Cease your funning." But, in sober sadness, how your plan- differs from that of the great Lord Stanley ! He is a zealous Protestant, and wishes to Protestantize Ireland; and finding the Protestant bishops a species of nuisance in his way, he at one blow strikes off ten out of twenty-two : and very properly declares there is less mischief in twelve than there would be in the entire number; and yet you have the audacity (I must use the word) to differ with so great a Protestant, and so great a man, and to multiply Protestant bishops in Ireland, while he is striking them down like ninepins. Your next project is the sale of the church lands for the purposes of founding schools and colleges. Here is, indeed, a gleam of pure good sense, and I thank you heartily for it. And then your plan for reducing the emoluments of the Pro ' testant livings is safe, salutary, and, above all, practical— one which, 1 trust, we shall see effected, and in which 1 readily offer to co-operate with you. Again—yourgood sense breaks out when you contrast the real reform which has taken place in the Catholic church, with that fraud, hypocrisy, fa naticism and plunder, which have been called " reformation" by her enemies. The Catholic Church—unalterable, because truth is unchangeable, in matters of faith and essential disci pline—has thrown off the rust, "the straw and the stubble," which ages of peace and security had thing upon some of her practices. Besides, she has banished for ever . Sinioniacle contracts, and all the abuses of pluralities. You are quite right in saying that thousands daily return to their fold — "the one fold of the one Shepherd;" and I hope that the spirit of Christian charity, the greatest of all virtues, will come at length to he cultivated by the enemies of the eternal church—enemies who have too lung spent their time in vile calumnies and useles revilings. There is much matter for serious thought and statesman like counsel in your plan of emigration, and in your notion of the distribution of the crown lands. But it has been deemed more flippant to cut short all wiser schemes, in order to fling upon us a }cousinpoor-law sink our property in workhouses, and to make us rich, by g us to support with money masses of our poor at the expense of an establishment, the cost of which would produce most valuable results; if employed in the mariner you suggest—in canals, in railroads, and in other useful works. You are, however, mistaken in supposing that the rent of lau!. is higher in Ireland than in England. It is a mistake iu which so many concur with you as to be quite blameless. Ido confess you have made me melancholy. There are in some of your suggestions materials of incalculable utility to Ireland. But how are they to be worked out? What chance is there of obtaining a patient anti thorough investigation of the discordant elements which belong to our political econo my? Our absentee landlords—our hostile resident proprie tors—our impoverished agriculturists—our extinguished or expiring manufactures—hoW is a remedy to be found for these, and one thousr nd other evils with which the social state in Ireland is filled? I will tel you. By a domestic legislature—and by a domestic legislature alone. The last experiment to obtain a fair consideration for the claims of Ireland is being made • and before twelve months are over, 1, for one, shall, I believe, he driven to labour to expunge for ever from the statute book that " desperate act of scoundrelism," which you have characterised with no less severity than truth, as far as relates to the act itself. am, Sir, &c., &c., &c., DIE O'CONNELL. MR. LANDOR'S SECOND LETTER, IN ANSWER TO THE ABOVE. (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) While in the act (as will be seen elsewhere) of comment ing on Mr. O'Connell's poetical effusion, we received the following letter, bearing the signature of Walter Savage Landor. Not being acquainted with Mr. Landor's hand writing, we cannot vouch for its authenticity. if the letter be genuine—and from its style, it appears to be so—we can assure Mr. Landor that, in selecting; the Evening Mail as a vehicle of his views, he has secured them a very extensive circulation among men able to appreciate both him and the man he writes to : " TO DANIKL O'CONNELL, ESQ. "SIR,—We are deeply indebted to you for protecting us from the Atlantic. I make no doubt that Snowden and the Grampians would have been swamped long since but for the shelter they derive from the mountains of your neighbour hood. You are indeed in the front of the battle when it blows from the south-west, but an easterly' gale reverses the obligation, and lays your constituents of Dublin under great compliments to the Earl of Scarborough. I admit that wes terly and southerly winds are, however, the more prevalent in these latitudes, so that the balance of obligation is still due to Bolus head. But whether we should make our ac knowledgments to that extremity of Iveragh itself, or to the Provost and Fellows of Trinity College, who own it, or to you, who glorify it, or, finally, to those small cattle, the Kerry cows, who are, after all, better acquainted with the matter than any of us, is a question which will no doubt receive the consideration it deserves when the British people become duly sensible of the many obligations your coast has laid them under.

LIVERPOOL MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. LECTURES ON CHEMISTRY AS APPLIED TO THE ARTS. exists. On Saturday evening Dr. Kane delivered his sixth lecture to a crowded audience, in which he explained the nature of the saccharine, alcoholic and acetous fermentations. In the last lecture we entered upon the subject of organic combinations, and in the first place we showed the results of the distillation of those organic substances by the agency of heat. This evening we shall, enter into a still more minute and intricate department of chemistry, but which, though still invested with the greatest theoretical difficulty, we shall find to he of deep importance in its application to the arts. 'We shall examine the nature of the ingredients which are used in the saccharine, alcoholic, and acetous fermentations, and shalt endeavour to place before you as clearly as possi ble, the nature of those remarkable operations. The word " Fermentation" has been of very ancient use, although we have only lately arrived at a distinct idea of its nature, whilst it will still require the researches of chemists for a series of years, to bring out a perfect conclusion. We find that fermentations succeed each other according to an uniform law, the vinous succeeding the saccharine, and the acetous the vinous. In ordinary langu a g e we speak of one more species of fermentation, the putrefactive, but in point of fact this has not been reduced to any definite law, and seems but to be the breaking up of the organization of sub- When, therefore a substance begins to putrefy, it eemoved out of the bounds of organic chemistry. We may derive sugar from a vast variety of sources. It exists naturally in a great variety of plants, and we are capable of generating it artificially, by means which the progress of science has placed at the disposal of the chemist. There exist a variety of sugars which we may, however, di vide into three very important and very remarkable classes. The first of these is the crystallised sugar, which presents itself is us under the form of sugar candy. This class com prehends the sugar which is extracted from the sugar cane, as well as that extensively used on the continent, extracted from the beet root. The sugar of the maple likewise belongs to this . class. The second class differ in their chemical con stitution, as it is impossible to obtain them under a crystal line form. The most important of these is the sugar derived from grapes, and which by its fermentation gives rise to the different kinds of wine. Phis we could not get under the form. of sugar candy. In fact this grape sugar may be taken us the type of all sugars, which are furnished by fruits, such as apples, gooseberries, &c. In addition to these, ail the sugar which we can generate artificially, belong to the second class No chemist has as yet .succeeded in forming cane sugar or beet root sugar artificially. Ile can make sugar with the greateit ease, but it is like the grape sugar, or the sugar of honey. The sugar of grapes is characterised by its great power of undergoing alcoholic fermentation. But there is a third class of sugar which is distinguished from the first and second by being incapable of undergoing the alcoholic fer mentation. Of the sugars comprising this class, manna sugar is one of the most remarkable. The liquorice root is another instance. These suears resemble the former classes only in their peculiar sweet taste, but most remarkably they do not furnish any alcohol on ferment a t ion. Properly, speak.- ing, therefore, they are nut really sugars; and I shall not dwell upon them. Milk was formerly classed by chemists generally under the latter division. The sweet character of the milk of animals is owing to the great quantity of sugar which it contains. It is very difficult to make this milk sugar ferment so as to derive spirit from it; we, however, are now aware, that the Tartars, in the western portions of Asia and eastern portions of Russia, are in the habit of making a fer mented spirit from mate's milk. The composition of sugar is very remarkable. The differ ent sugars differ from one another in the details of their con stitution, but they resemble one another in their general formation. All sugar consists of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; and these are generally united in such propor tions, that the oxygen and hydrogen, if united, would pro duce water, and the carbon remain in excess. For example, let us take pure cane sugar, and we shall find that it consists. of 12 atoms of carbon, 10 of hydrogen, and 10 of oxygen. Now, you will at once see that t he oxygen and hydrogen being exactly afforded in the quantities of their equivalents, would produce water if they might unite. In fact, we may look upon sugar as being composed of carbon and water. A means by which this may be demonstrated, is, by pouring some oil of vitriol upon loaf sugar in a thick pulpy state. The oxygen and the hydrogen will he thereby euabled to combine and feral water, with which the sulphuric acid combines, and carbon is set free. The preparation of sugar from the sugar-cane constitutes one of the most important departments of menufaeture which exists, on the proper - perfermance of which a vast number of our Indian brethren depend. The sn;, , ,ar-cane grows to the height of It) or 12feet, ;Ind the sugar which it contains is mixed in a great degree with mucilage and water. The nature of this mucilage is such, that it is much snore disposed to ferment than any other substance we know nf; and the greatest difficulty whieii. the planters have to contend with, is in preventing the sugar from undergoing spontaneous fermentation. In order to prevent this, the first operation of the sugar-planter after he has passed the cane through mills so as to express the juice, is to add to the juice a quantity of limn or lime-water, by which the acid of the mucilage is saturated. The fermen tetion being thus checked, it is easy to boil the juice down to a proper consistency. It is poured into a boiler, and eva porated. The mucilage and albuminous matters are skimmed off, and the juice being brought down to a certain consis tency, it is run into conical moulds, where it is allowed to cool and solidify into the impure state in which it is met with in commerce; the process of refining being carried on in different localities. In the refinery of the sugar let us con sider what actually takes place. I have mentioned that the great spirit-giving; classes of sugars are distinguished from one another by the first being crystallizable, and the secrend by not being cryetallizable ; and that in our artificial processes we make that sugar which is not capable of being crystallized. It is so easy to prevent sugar from being crystallized, that the manufacturer actu ally forms a great quantity of uncrystallizable sugar in the form of molasses. This molasses is still capable of un dergoing the alcholic fermentation, and hence the genera tion of the vast quantities of rum, which are annually im ported ; when heat is applied. The object in the refining of sugar is to remove the molasses, for all the difference be tween the brownest and the purest while sugars simply con sists in the brown sugar being a mass of exceedingly minute crystals which are mixed with, and made to adhere, by. a sort of glue, consisting of partially dried treacle. This trea cle is a dark body, the pure sugar is white, so that the ad mixture of the two substances forms the brown sugar of com merce. Ali that is necessary to get the sugar white is the removal of the black molasses. Animal charcoal is used by the French chemists in bleaching the solution of the crys tallized sugar. In fact the coloured portions unite with the charcoal, and the pure sugar remains free. It is very easy by a number of processes to get rid of the coloured sugar, and to obtain a solution of pure sugar in water; but then the great difficulty of the manufactnre commences, fiery a che mist were given a certain quantity of the pure sugar in water, and told to crystallize it, he would find it difficult to do so, because the boiling point would rise with his application of heat, so that there would be no tendency to evaporate, but on the contrary, there would be a certain tendency in the sugar to- iseeneee taco yetattrzehiee —The. (IV ygtallizatio it - of - sugar - is effected by a great variety of means. It is very common'to take the sugar in its brown condition, and place it in conical vessels, open at each end, with the point downwards. Clay is then placed over the top, which is moistened with pure water or a solution of pure sugar. The solution trickles:through the clay and enters into the pores of the sugar, by which means a sort of bleaching ;Toes on, proceed ing from the broader extremity downwards, until the whole of the impure sugar is removed out of it. This sugar is then carried into commerce as claved sugar. In addition to this, in the bleaching of the syrup, it has been proposed to em ploy a number of means to promote evaporation indepen dent of fire. The means are the passing of pipes contain ing steam or heated oil through the solution in order to keep the sugar at the proper temperature, and below that at which it would be converted into an uncrystallivsble form. From this we have passed to. a most improved state-of the science, that of boiling in vacuum;by which the refining can goon under stances. for water. I shall now pass to the examination of some of the varieties of sugar, end defer some of my obsereations on cane su g ar, as they will affect all sugars equally. The sugar of beet root, the manufacture of which is so extensive in France and Germany, is perfectly similar, when perfectly pure, to the sugar of the cane, but it is not so readily obtained, owing to the great quantity of mucilage which beet root contains. The development of sugar is owing to the saccharine fertnentat him The substance which in the hands of nature appears alone capable of generating sugar is ordinary starch. Ordinary starch appears in all vegetables—in fact, in the fruit of ail vegetables. It exists in various roots, but it is principally from the seed of the grasses, and the root of the potato, mac go, and the palm, that•the starch of commerce is derived. In commerce we have the wheat starch: we have the starch derived from the bulb of the potato—we have the starch which is derived from the root of mango, which constitutes the ar rowroot, and which is rarely met with in a genuine , state of commerce; and we have the root of the palm, which con siitutes sago. Starch is a substance concerning the nature of which there are a number of opinions, but they all agree that starch is not a chemical substance: but, that it is an or gan supplying the same place in the vegetable kingdom as blood in that of the animal. It is contained in a bag, and will not dissolve whilst this bag remains unbroken. The starch is prepared by separating it from the substances with which it is associated in the vegetables which contain it. In wheat the steeds is associated with gluten, and in the potato with the vegetable albumen. Now starch is insoluble in cold water, other vegetable substances are soluble in it, and the albumen andglitten form a coherent mass like (tough. If we take a quantity of wheaten flour or potato meal, and put it into a caoth, and stir it abotit in a certain quantity of water, the gluten and albumen will form a coherent mass in the cloth; while the fine gelatinous particles of starch will pass through, and mingle with the water: It is on this principle that starch, as well on the large as the small scale, is pre pared. On a large scale, the manufacture is carried on in •a very ingenious. manner. There is a large bag of linen, and there is a screw of the ordinary. archimedean character into which the flour or potato meal is introduced. Into this flows a stream of water. The screw is made to turn coni cally round, and the starch falls through the linen as the flour parts to the bottom. Starch is characterized by pro perties of such an interesting nature that it is perhaps the most easily recognised organic substance substance which It is easily recognised by its solubility in boiled wa ger, and its insolubility in cold water, in which it forms a glutinous white substance.' If we add a little of a solution of starch to water, and drop into the mixture a little of the solution of iodine, we shall observe the formation of a beau tiful blue colour. This effect is produced when exceedingly small quantities of. starch and iodine are employed, so that starch and iodine ate mutually the best tests .of each others presence. The colour thus given is not a permanent one, for we may expel it by a variety of means: for example—if we take a little of the solution of potash, the colour disappears; but on the addition of nitric acid so as to saturate the potash, it will reappear, arid these effects tea) be produced fur any number of times. Starch exists in the grain of wheat, it exists in abundance in potatoes, and; in fact, in all vegetable seeds. It is the food which is stored up by nature for the wants of the. young plant ; and we find that a s starch would nut be a very"digestible material, nature has recourse to a very beautiful contrivance for rendering it so. We find that what actually takes place in nature is this;—as the young plant begins to be ready to eat, the starch is concerted into sugar rapidly. The germination of plants is accom panied by a complete transmutation of the starch into sugar. In the arts this process is imitated by artificial means, as in the manufacture of malt. The corn is stored in warehouses from which the light of day is excluded, and kept moistened, until the young plant begins to make its appearance, and the starch of the grain is turned into sugar. The malster then kiln-dries it and kills the young plant before it has lived lung enough to eat the sugar. This is the theory of malting, which, under different circumstances, gives us the successive races of vegetable beings with which the world is familiar. The starch is not, in point of fact, at once converted into sugar, hot passes through the state of dextrine, (*tom this into a state of gum, and from this into the state of sugar. This development. of dextrine and gum may likewise be produced by the action of sulphuric acid indepe ndent of germination. The guM procured in this manner has in f act, to a great ex tent, superseded gum .arabic in the manufactures. Guru and dextrine are distinguished from starch by being soluble in water without forming a jelly insit. If we add a little iodine Is dextrine a beautiful wine whereas the union of iodine and starch produces a blue co lour.. If we take the gum which ;,crape i c 'e a d r r i i i t i :i e s p h r d o g:u e u s t e n t e io ' t distinguish it frein gum arabic, and add to it is solution of iodine, we shall have no colour produced, as act upon guns at all. If we take sugar hetine does not pro duce any effect upon it. We have thus tour substances pro duced—starch, dextrine, gum, and sugar. If we take starch or sugar, and examine the aomposition, we shall find that essentially there is no difference between them. • 'Fire same analysis leads to the same results • so that we have four bodies of different qualities, and chemical cha racter, which have the seine chemical constitution. 'We must look upon these bodies as differing fouls each other only in the arrangement of their panicles. This view is sup ported, ;sod, indeed,. proved, by the remarkable fact, that in the conversion of starch into sugar, the quantity of sugar is equal In the weight 'of the starch. This fact was discovered a t ,, i i. t ar i Ik o iaes f ‘ii c is:t r is, y ,:,: s .cri t t i i s ie l . i cn - by a Russian chemist, in a very remarkable manner. lie pour open discovered, that when potatoe starch is taken and treated with sulphuric acid, the whole of the starch is converted into . sugar, crystalliza tion, e n o ( 7 1 t oa l weight tr b t i l v, i ) e ans u ao r ti l con vert,ked upon as not only starch, but wood into sugar. If we take a substancese e ararl e r made use i u e s h e t r h i b t e h a e t quantity of linen, or cotton, sul phrice acid, we shall find, after a few hours, that a large quint othuni7lthe present by a s r f a h i has ls s cu ishe.enecnAe rsll o n tru e tr t he l ; 0 1;d s hgeasre. shoed pointed riot to chemical i t u t i l s t l Y i y n ct u f l e s ' a : g n making of bread are of two kinds, the one derived from those which contain gluten. and the other from those which do not contain gluten. The gluten binds the whole mass together, and gives that spongy and rye bread are distinguished. But oat bread contains no gluten, add consequently, has no spongy tendency. In the making of bread, there is another remarkable fact. In it we have a combination or two, and sometimes • three • fennenta tions. We.have a small quantity of alcohol generated, as well as of vinegar. In the manufacture of bread we have the combination of a Certain quantity of gum, gluten, sugar, and dextrine. Sugar is the sole substance capable of undergoing the al coholic fermentation, thereftre the bodies which are capable of producing alcohol are only enabled to do so on account of sugar being produced at one stage or the others of their fer mentation. The production of alcohol remains involved in a great degree of obscurity. The-grape sugar gives us the key to the alcoholic fermentation stillmore evidently than the cane sugar. In fact, the grape sugar contains more water of crystallization than the crystallized sugar: The grape sugar consists of 12 carbon, 12 hydrogen, and 12 of oxygen. It still follows the law of conta inin g the oxygen and hialrogen ' in the proportions requisite to form water, but it Z•ontuins more of those substances. If we take a solution of cane sugar we may keep it to eternity and it will not fersuent ; if it be, kept from the atmospheric air, but if we add to it under proper circumstances a quantity of yeast, we shall find gas to bubble up. and two substances, vu. alcohol and carbonic acid gas will be produced. In tact, alcohol consists Of 4 car bon, 6 hydrogen, and 2 of oxygen; 2 of carbon, and 4 of oxygen, combining to form carbonic acid gas. Alcohol is a substance of great importance in the arts and in commerce. It was long known that when a spirituous so l ut i on w „, ~s , posed to the air that it was gradually converted into yineg,nr. It was found that this did not require the contact Of ainv.sub stance, but that when the atmospheric air Wtle excluded, the conversion was checked. If we consider the compesition of alcohol and vinegar we shall discover a very remarkable re lation. Real vinegar or acetic acid is composed of 4 censors, 4 hydrogen, and 4of oxygen. Now you will at once observe that the acetic acid contains less hydrogen and more oxygen than alcohol. Wnen alcohol is exposed to the action of the air it gradually absorbs oxygen, there is water formed, and ultimately the liquor becomes acid and vinegar is the result. There is an intermediate substance called aldehyde, formed, of -great interest in science, but of none in a practical point of view. The most important improvement in the ma nufacture of vinegar has been derived front the circumstance of iinegar being formed by the absorption of oxygen. In order to facilitate this absorption, they make use oft the_ continent of a very remarkable plan. There is taken hogshead which is placed upon a support. The ho g shead, at its lowest part, is perforated with a number of holes..• At its side, about one quarter of ,the height of the hogshead, arm cut a number of oval apertures, and then the whole interior of the hogshead is filed up with shavings, somewhat loosely packed, so as to present a great surface. At the top of the hogshead is a tray of Well-tinned iron, with two systems of tubes passing through, the one opening upwards and the other downwards. A jet is placed over the apertures, fur nished with estop cock. The bad wine or the Inuit liquor is then allowed to trickle throbgh the lower system of tubes of the tray upon the 'shavings, and moisten them, by which means the alcohol is brou g ht into contact with the oxygen of the air. This produces heat, and a current of air passes in through the oval ap e rtur e s at the sides of the hogshead , and he a mri s u. lo n a runs after ramifying thr oug h the shavings, passes mint through the upper -system of tray, apertures in the by which a constaut succession of oxygen is carried around the shavings. There is thus combustion bouadtt yirt, theaeffected,t time ipi eerfit atritsrt first the taitmteh r . e e s b u io l t t ui t so s that e,)af yh t ui l l i ne hogshead, t i me alcohol through the hogshead a second time, and thus the process which took up the period of seven weeks, and sOmetitnes three months, is now so much facilitated, that the (list-rate vinegar can be made in the period of twenty-four hours. Thus we find another instance added to the remarkable number which I have brought before you, of extraordinary improvements in theoretical science being applied in the manufactures and the arts. • To-morrow evening Dr. Kane will terminate his course, on which occasion he will explain and illustrate the mode by which manufacturers of silk and cotton s goods apply .and fasten their colours.

The property in manufactures is rated by the same exact and acute writer-at £201,000,000, yielding an annual return of V 62,085,199. w_hile lauded property gives little more than iltree per cent., manuracturi.rg.fropertylichls more thiath4 prudigioul increase of 12t) per cent. • A Montgoltier or fire balloon, of extraordinary dimensions, so as to ascend with several aeronauts, - is now being manufac tured under the immediate superintendence of Mr. H.

It is very easy to show the theory of Mr. Howard's plan for this purpose, if we take a small quantity of ether and place it under the receiver of an air pump. The ether is a fluid which boils at a temperature of 100—a temperature very little above the heat of the human blood. Now if we remove the pressure of the air, the ether begins to boil with considerable rapidity, and will continue to do so as long as we continue to work the air pump. Now this phenomenon, which we can demonstiate so remarkably, can likewise be shown with warm water, by the same means ' • in fact, the boiling of a fluid depends upo n the degree of pressure upon the surface. If, therefore, we diminish the pressure of the atmospheric air, we diminish the tension which it is necessary for the vapour of water to have, and we consequently diminish the temperature at which the water will boil. It is certain, therefore, that if the temperature of 180 degrees be required for the conversion of crystallizable • into uncrystallizable sugar, and we can, by means of a va cuum, boil down and evaporate it at the temperature of 120 degrees, we shalt be able to obtain the sugar without any unerystallizable sugar being formed at the same time. The vacuum process was extremely successful, but it has since been superseded by cheaper modes, which are net, however, more successful. Sugar is a highly combustible substance, and in some processes of the arts it is used actually as a com bustible substance. This is so different from its ordinary use that it is necessary to advert to it. If we mix chlorate of potash with it, and add a little oil of vitriol, the mixture will instantly inflame, in consequence of the oil of vitriol causing new combinations of the ingredients, owing to its affinity *Dipptnq Entelitytur.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OcT. 18. Since our last there has been a very good general demand both from the trade and exporters. The sales yesterday 3,600 bags, and to-day they amount to fully 6,000. The market has closed firmly, at full prices. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 16. Since Tuesday last the imports of Grain, Flour. and Oatmeal. from Ireland anti Coastwise, have been to a very fair extent, and of Wheat and Flour from Foreign ports they have been also further considerably increased, and nearly two-thirds of the Wheat anti Flour Coastwise are Foreign, duty paid, the vessels having put into the nearest British ports they could reach. andlanded their cargoes to save duty ; the weather since Wednesday last has been stormy. with frequent heavy showers of hail and rain, so that we fear very little Grain has been secured since that day. and that a large pro portion of the crops to the northward, and even in this county, re mains Mill in the fields, and now receiving much injury ; in some degree owing to which, and the quality of the recent imports of new Wheat from Ireland not improving„ there has been a better demand during the past week here and in all our country market , , also in those of Yorkshire, and at Manchester on Saturday - sales to a fair extent were made of Grain from this port, particularly of Foreign Wheat ; last quoted prices of which, and of every article in the trade have been fully supported, and in some instances a little exceeded. The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports has increased since Friday last two steps, and is now ?0s 84 per quarter, and 12s 5d per barrel on Flour; on Barley, Indian Corn, , Buck Wheat, and Bye, it has also increased Is 6d per qr. ; and the high duty is now payable on British Colonial Wheat and Flour of 3s per quarter. and 3s per bar rel ; the duty of 16s 8d per quarter has been submitted to on about 8,000 qrs. of last week's imports of Wheat, and lOs per barrel on the chief 'part of the Flour, but the duty is now completely pro hibitory ; the Wheat in bond is not yet offering for sale, at its nominal value, hut a few sales of Flour in bond have been made at 30s to 31s per barrel for export ; for all other Grain in bond there has been v e ry little demand. and the prices are almost nominal. At this day's market we have bad a more active demand fur Wheat, and sales to a considerable extent have been made to the millers and dealers, and some purchases were made by speculators. chiefly of good fresh Foreign, at an advance since last Tuesday of 3d to 44 per 7JII, on superior qualities. :tud of 2d to 3tl per 7011) on middling and ordinary kinds. Fine new and old British and Irish Wheat fully supported last quotations; hut for nll other articles in the trade the demand was very limited at about last quotations.

There was a tolerable quick sale for good quality, and although the supply has been so large, we cannot note any alt era-. tion in the price of Beef of first quality. but second and inferior quality was sold at a shade less than last week. The supply of Sheep has not been so large as for several weeks preceding, but the sale of Mutton has been rather heavy, though prices are much the same as last week.
