CHERI3OURG, The Belle Poule frigate, commanded by the Prince de Join -dile, and which has brought back to France the remains of the Emperor Napoleon, came to anchor at Cherbourg on the 30th ult., at five in the morning. _ . . The following is the report - of his royal highness to the minister of marine : _ . _ " Monsieur le Ministre,—As I had the honour of inform ing you, I quitted All Saints Bay on September 14, running along the coast of Brazil, with the wind at east, but which having veered to the north and northeast, enabled me quickly to get into the meridian of Saint Helena, without having to pass the twenty-eighth south parallel. On entering this me ridian, I was delayed by calms and light breezes. On Octo ber 8, I came to an anchor in James Town roads. The brig Oreste, detached by Vice-Admiral de Mackau to bring to the Belle Poule a pilot from the channel, arrived the day be fore. As this ship brought me no new instructions, I im mediately occupied myself in executing the orders I had ori ginally received, My first care was to put M. de Chabot, the King's commissioner, in communication with General Middlemore, governor of the island, These gentlemen hav ing settled, according to their respeetiie instructions, the manner of proceeding to the exhumation of the remains of the Emperor Napoleon, and their translation on board the Belle Poule, October 15 was fixed for the execution of their plans. The governor charged himself with the exhumation, and all that was to take place within the British territory : I, by the order of October 13, a copy of which I hereuato an nex, regulated the honours to be paid on the 15th and 16th by the division under my command. The French merchant ships Bonne Amle, Captain Gallet, and the Indien, Captain Turquetil, eagerly rendered their assistance. At midnight on the 15th, the operation commenced in the presence of the French and English cornmisr;ioners, M. de Chabot and Capt. Alexander, of the royal engineers. The works were directed by the latter. As M. de Chabot renders to the government a circumstantial account of the operations to which he was a witness, I conceive I em dispensed from entering into the same details, and khan content myself with saying that at ten in the morning the coffin was found in the grave. After hav ing raised it, in fact it was opened, and the body was found in an unhoped for state of preservation. At this solemn moment, at the sight of the easily recognized remains of him who had done so much for the glory of France, the emotion was deep and unanimous. At half past three o'clock the guns of the fort announced to the ships and vessels in the roadstead that the funeral procession. had commenced its march to wards James Town. The militia apd the troops of the gar rison preceded the car, which was covered with a pall, the corners being borne by Generals Bertrand and fourgaud, and Messrs. de Lascases and Marchand, the authorities and a crowd of the inhabitants following. The guns of the frigate having answered those of the fort, she continued to fire mi nute guns. From the morning the yards were slung and the flags hoisted half-mast high, as signs of mourning, in which the foreign ships and vessels joined. When the procession appeared on the quay, the English troops formed a double line, through which the car passed slowly to the shore. At the water's edge, where the English lines had terminated, I had collected all the officers of the French division, waiting, in deep mourning and heads uncovered, the approach of the coffin. When within twenty pastes of us, it stopped, and the governor advancing to me, delivered vp to me, in the name of his government, the remains of the Emperor Napoleon. As soon as the coffin was lowered in the boat of the frigate prepared to receive it, the general emotion was again renewed ; the dying wish of the Emperor Napoleon began to be accom plished,—his remains reposed under the national flag. All sign of mourning was from that time abandoned ' the same honours which the Emperor would have received had he been living were paid to his mortal remains, and it was amidst sa lutes from the ships, dressed out in their colours, and their yards manned, that the cutter, escorted by the boats of all the ships, pursued its way slowly towards the frigate. On . arriving on board, the coffin was placed between two ranks of officers under arms, and carried on to the quarter-deck, which had been arranged as a chapelle ardente had been pre pared to receive it. At noon all was terminated, and the frigate was ready to sail; bnt the drawing up of the proses verbaux required two days, and it was only on the morning of the 18th that the Belle Poule and Pavearite were able to get under weigh. The Oreste, which left at thi camp time, sailed for its destination. After a prosperous and easy passage I have just anchored in the roads of Cherbourg, at five in the morning. " Receive, Admiral, the assurance of my respect, " The Captain of the Belle Poole, " F. D'ORLEANS " Roads of Cherbourg, Nov. 30." The Commissioners, in their report, thus describe the ap pearance of the remains on removing the cerements : " The cover of the third coffin having been removed, a tin ornament, slightly rusted, was seen, which was removed, and a white satin sheet was perceived, which was removed with the greatest precaution by the doctor, and Napoleon's body was exposed to view. His features were so little changed that his face was recognised by those who had known him when alive. The different articles which had been de posited in the coffin were found exactly as they had been placed. The hands were s i ngu l ar l y we ll p reserve d. Th e uniform, the orders, the hat were very little changed. His entire person presented the appearance of one lately in terred. The body was not exposed to the external air longer than two minutes at most, which were necessary for the sur geon to take measures to prevent any alteration, according to his instructions," Dr. Guillard, (Remi Julien,) the surgeon of the Belle Poule frigate, who was present at the disinterment, gives the following account of the state in which he found the body of the Emperor : " The body of the Emperor had an easy position, the same as when he was placed in the coffin : the superior members were stretched out, the lower part of the arm and the left hand resting on the corresponding thigh : the in ferior members were somewhat depressed. The head, a little raised, rested on a cushion: his skull, of ample volume, and his high and broad forehead, were covered with yellow ish teguments, hard and very adherent. The orbs of the eyba offered the same appearance, and the upper part was lined with eyelids : the balls of the eyes were entire, but had lost somewhat of their volume and shape. The eyelids, com pletely closed, adhered to the under parts, and were hard : the bones of the nose and the teguments which covered them were well preserved: the tube and the sides alone had suffered. The cheeks were full. The teguments of that portion of the face were remarkable for their soft supple feel and their whitish colour; those of the chin were slightly blueish, and derived that colour from the beard, which ap peared to have grown after death. The chin itself was not in the least altered, and still preserved the character peculiar to Napoleon's countenance. The were thinned and asunder, and three of the front teeth, extremely white, were seen under the upper lip, which was slightly raised to the left. The hands were perfect, and did not exhibit any sort of alteration. If the articulations had lost their motion, the skin appeared to have preserved the colour of life ; and the fingers bore long, adherent, and very white nails. The legs were enclosed in boots, but, in consequencp of the threads of the latter being worn, the four last toes were visible on both sides. The skin of those toes was of a dull white and the nails were still adherent. The front region of the thorax was strongly depressed in the middle : the coats of the abdomen hard and fallen in : the members appeared to have preserved their shape under the clothes which covered them, I pressed the left arm :it was hard and had lost somewhat of its volume." The following are extracts of a private letter, published in the Messager describing the opening of the tomb and the coffin : "At half-past nine in the morning the earth was entirely removed from the vault , all the h orizontal strata of masonry demolished, and the large slab which covered the internal sarcophagus detached by means of a crane. The cemented masonry-work which enclose d the coffin on e ver y s id e , an d which, during the nineteen y ears that have elapsed since it was built, had suffered no detrim ent, had so p res erved it from the effects of the atmosphere an d the nei g hbo uring spring that, at first sight, it did not appear to be in the slightest de gree injured. The sarcophagus in flag-stones was p er f ec t, and could scarcely be said to be damp. As soon as the Abbe Coquereau had recited the first prayers, the coffin was re moved with the greatest care, and carried by the engineer soldiers bareheaded into a tent which had been prepared for its reception near the tomb. After the religious ceremonies on the taking up of the body, the inner coffins were opened, of Isip'ple.on fror tl4: at the reqt Ciuillard might takt; Aletusures for seep Any further decorn —.vac coffin was slightly injured ; the leaf xas in good condition, and ,e - ncldsed two others, o. tat Dr, in WOOL and the other in tin, the lids of which were to greatest care. The last coffin was lined on the inside with white satin. which, having become detached by the effect of time, had fallen upon the body, and enveloped it like a wind ing ;beet, adhering slightly to it. " It is difficult to describe with what anxiety, with what emotions, those who were present waited for the moment which was to expose to them all that death had left of Napo leon. Notwithstanding the singular state of preservation of the tomb and coffins, we could scarcely hope to find anything but some mishapen remains of the least perishable parts of the costume to evidence the identity. But when, by the hand of Dr. Gaillard, the satin sheet was raised, an indescribable feeling of surprise and affection was expressed by the specta tors, most of whom burst into tears. The Emperor himself was before their eyes! The features of his face, though changed, were perfectly recognised, the hands perfectly beau tiful, his well-known costume had suffered but little, and the colours were easily distinguished ; the epaulets, the decora tions, and the hat seemed to be entirely preserved from decay ; the attitude itself was full of ease, but for the frag ments of the satin lining, which covered, as with a fine gauze, several parts of the uniform, we might have believed we saw before us Napoleon still extended on a bed of state. General Bertrand and M. Marchand, who were present at the inter ment, quickly pointed out the different articles which each had deposited in the coffin, and in the precise position which they bad previously described. It was even remarked, that the left hand which General Bertrand had taken to kiss for the last time, before the coffin was closed up, still remained slightly raised. Between the legs, near the hat, were the two vases which contained the heart and entrails. " The two inner coffins were carefully closed again : the old leaden coffin was strongly blocked up with wedges of wood, and both were once more soldered up with the most minute precautions, under the direction of Dr. Gaillard. These different operations being terminated, the ebony sar cophagus was closed as well as its oak case." The writer thus describes the proceedings, after the body had been delivered into the custody of the French Com missioners : " When the funeral ear 'stopped, the Prince de Joinville advanced alone, and, in presence of all around, who stood with their heads uncovered, received in a solemn Manner the imperial coffin from the hands of General Middlemore. His royal highness then thanked the Governor, in the name of France, for all the testimonials of sympathy and respect with which the authorities and inhabitants of St. Helena had sur rounded the memorable ceremonial. A cutter had been ex pressly prepared to receive the coffin. During the embarka tion, which the Prince directed himself, the bands played fu neral airs, and all the boats were stationed round with their oars shipped. The moment the sarcophagus touched the cutter, a magnificent royal flag, which the ladies of James Town had embroidered for the occasion, was unfurled, and the Belle Poule immediately squared her yards and unfurled her colours. All the manoeuvres of the frigate were imme diately followed by the other vessels. Our mourning had ceased with the exile of Napoleon, and the French naval di vision dressed itself out in ell ita festal ornaments to receive the imperial coffin under thp Fperlch.flag, Thp sarcophagus was covered in the eater with the imperial !pantie. The Prince de Joinville placed himself at the rudder, COmmand ndt Guyet at the head of the boat; Generals Bertrand and Gourgaud, Baron de Las Cases, M. Marchand, and the Abbe Coquereau occupied the same places as during the march. Count Chabot and Commandant Hernoux were astern, a little in advance of the Prince. As soon as the cutter had pushed off from the quay, the batteries ashore tired a salute of 2 , 1 guns, and our ships returned the salute with all their artillery. Two other salutes were fired during the passage from the quay to the frigate, the cutter advancing very slowly, and surrounded by the other boats. At half-past six o'clock it reached the Belle Poule, all the men being on the yards with their hats in their hands, The PririPP had arranged go the deck a chapel, decke4 with gaga and trophies of arms, I.he altar being placed at the forst of the mizen-mast ] The pOffin, earned by our sailors, passed betwen two ranks Of officers with drawn swords, and was placed on the Quarter-deck. The absolu tion was pronounced by the Abbe Coquereau the same even ing. Next day, at ten o'clock, a solemn mass was celebrated on the deck, in presence of the officers and part of the crews of the ships. His Royal Highness stood at the foot of the coffin. The cannon of the favourite and Oreste fired minute guns during this ceremony, which terminated by a solemn absolution ; and.the Prince de Joinville, the gentleman of the mission, the officers, and the premiers maitres of the ship sprinlsled }idly water Pp tht) PPffin• At 'eleven all the ceremonies Of the church were aeeomplished, all the honours done to the sovereign bad been paid to Ole mortal'ipmains Of Napoleon. The cotfic was oarefelly lowered between decks, and placed in the chapel/6 ardente which had been prepared at Toulon for its reception. At this moment the vessels fired a last salute with all their artillery, and the frigate took in her flags, keeping up only her flag at the stern and the royal standard at the maintop-gallant mast. On Sunday, the 18th, at eight in the morning, the Belle Poule quitted St. Helena with her precious deposit on board." The lifonitieur Parisien says, that the funeral ceremony is fixed for the 10th instant, (Thursday next), and that orders have been given to hasten as much as possible the prepara tions at the Invalides• and along the line which the cortege will follow. Ogyrriq PraT)qis states, that tho ceremony of the Emperor Napoleons feneral is fixed tor the I§tb instant, and that the number of workmen employed on the prepara tions has been considerably increased, The Pommerce is of opinion, that it cannot take place before the 2 0 th. Generals Bertrand and Gourgaud and M. Marchand remain with the Prince de Joinville, at Cherbourg, watching over the remains of the Emperor. It is reported, that, soon after this ceremony shall have taken place, Prince Louis Bonaparte and his companions will be liberated, the prince being required to pledge himself never to repeat his criminal attempt. .3 off with ti ON AN IMPROVED METHOD OF CON,STRUCTING & STOKING THE FURNACES TIL4 14LN.S7 (By Mr. James Taylor, Moorfield Tjletforkst Kilmarnock, Facto) to the Duke of Portland.) Mr. Taylor's original paper on the manufacturing of drain tiles (for which the society's gold medal was awarded) will be found in vol. xii. p. 27, of the Transactions, and to which the following communication forms an addendum. Tnc increas ing demand for drain-tiles, and consequent competition in its manufacture, has stimulated those engaged in it to arrive at the utmost economy in the cost of production ; and it having been assumed that the constrUctiOn of furnaces would ma terially affect the expense in the article or fuel, much ingyiry has been set on foot, and expepsiye 'experiments eopd#ted, with a view to ascertain the best method of applying this expensive agent. Hitherto, it is believed, reduction in the expense of fuel has been but partially successful, A corn, munication, therefore, on this point, coming from a person of experience, and giving his own actual experience of the improvement, will, no doubt, be duly appreciated. Mr. Taylor's communication is expressed in the following terms :—" The following brief description of my economical method of burning tiles, and the advantage of it compared with the methods generally adopted in this part of the coun try, may not be unwelcome. The main point of this method consists in adapting the furnaces of the kiln to produce a greater effect from a given quantity of fuel than by the old system ; but I hayp also found that a large portion of the fuel may consist of refuse of coal, or as itip'cotinonly called coom. To effect this end, grate or furnace bars of the tom usually adopted in engine and other furnaces arc fitted into the fire places of the kiln, which are further assimilated tp ordinary furnaces by being fitted with closing doors. The height of the ashpit, or space between the floor of the stoking vault, and the furnace door-sole I make 15 inches, and its width 12 inches. The dour-frame, which may be set about 6 inches square, through which the fuel is thrown into the fur nace. The two sleepers, which support the bars, are each 18 inches in length, to allow their ends being fixed in the walls, and are placed the first at the distance of six inches, the other at twenty four inches from the door-frame ; on these sleepers are laid seven fintme-hars of eighteen inches in length, a dumb plate of six in breadtb, filling up the space be tween the ends of the bars and the door-frame. Beyond the grates thus formed, there is a space of one foot of'dgmb wall, and in this space the furnaces are contracted uniformly in width to nine inches at their entrance into the kiln, while their height is uniformly augmented from the door inward, till, at the entrance to the kiln, they are twenty-six inches in height, and their sole one foot above the level of the inside floor. Fire-places of the above-description, when culin is used for fuel, are more powerful, and the temperature more easily regulated, than in those where the fires are placed on the ground, and allowed to choke up till the fire-places are full. The furnaces are cleared two or three times during the process of burning; and as none of the fuel is allowed to go into the inside of the kiln, there is less risk of the tiles being vitrified and twisted than in the common form, where the burning fuel frequently comes in contact with the tiles lying near the entrance of the fire -places. " It is of great importance in burning tiles, that the heat should ascend regularly through the whole kiln, and tile burners have experienced much difficulty in regulating this point. One or two of the fires may sometimes burn slowly, while those on either side of them may burn freely. If this evil is not wholly obviated by using the grate, the remedy is at least rendered easy of application ; for, by opening one inch more or less of the doors on each side of the dull fires, the draft is considerably increased in them, and their action is equalized to that of the others, Should the temperature ap pear to be too high in any of the furnacos, the doors of those have only to be opened a small space, which will check the increase of heat. In this way, the door of each furnace can be made to act as a regulator for its own fire, as well as to act upon those immediately adjoining. " The coal required to burn a kiln containing twenty-five thousand tiles, constructed on the old plan, cost, at the pit, £3 12s. The quantity of fuel that I require to burn the same kiln, by the new method, and its cost at the pit, are, 2 1-10th tons coal, at 5s 10d per ton £o 12 3 10 tons of cuirn, at is 3 per ton being a saving of £2 7s 3d on the burning of a kiln, or nearly two shillings per thousand tiles.— Quarterly Journal of Agri culture for June, 1839. NAVEL SWEEPSTAKES.—A sweepstakes, which was en tered into last year, was decided a few days since, at the Old Angel Inn, Woolhampton, close to the sent of the Earl of Falmouth, in Berkshire. The person who produped 12 Swede turnips of the greatest weight, collectively, was to receive the, stakes. The Earl of Falmouth carried off the prize by pro ducing 12 turnips averaging nearly 91bs. each. The follow ing is a list of the subscribers, with the weight of their respective productions of 12 Swedes each ;—The Earl of Fal mouth, 1051bs ; Mr. Houghton, of Swing Hill, 8211b5.; Mr. Rivers, of Brimpton, 811bs. ; Mr. Reynolds, of Brimpton, 74-ilbs.; Mr. Hickman, of Aldermaston, 67ilbs.; and Mr. Buckeridge, of Oare Farm, 491bs. A sweepstakes of ten shillings each, to be similarly decided, is now open to all England, to be closed on the Ist of May next, and to be de cided in the month of November following. GREEN OCK. —TERRIBLE EX PLOSIgN.— , A.I3OIII a quarter past eight o'clock on Saturday morning, the inhabitants in the neigbourhood of Holmscroft brewery were alarmed by a strange noise, followed by the falling of the brew-house. On investigation it was found th a t th e b o il er , w hi c h was on th e gr ound floor, had exploded an d gone right through the roof of the house, a height of four stories, and alighted in a field 120 feet distant. When the explosion took place, Mr. Wal lace, the brewer, and his assistant, were standing immediately under the mash-tun in the third flat, and how they escaped with their lives is a miracle to every one, and to none snore than t 4, themselves. When the steam and dust cleared away, Mr. Wallace was seen walking up the field in which the boiler lay, but how he got there he has not the most distant idea. The under-brewer, who was talking with him when the explosion took place, was dragged out from under the ruins. He was very severely scalded. A man was working in a drain within ten feet of the boiler when it blew up, a n d the stones of the building fell around him, but without hurt ing him. Another man was slightly injured by some of the stones. It happened fortunately that nearly all the workmen were engaged in the yard, at a considerable distance from the brew-house, otherwise many lives would in all likelihood have been lost. Several of them had been engaged about the mash-tun only a few minutes before. What is not a little singular, Mr. Wallace's shoes were forced off his feet by some means, and have not since been seen ; his hat, too, which was on his head at the time, was found on the follow ing day among the ruins very much cut, and a thermometer which he held in his hand was got at a considerable distance from the spot. A snore remarkable escape than Mr. Wallace made has, rarely if ever occurred. The mash-tun under which he stood is now buried in the ruins, and a large copper in a higher flat, containing 30 or 40 barrels of with boiling wate whole r, was torn to pieces. In short, the house , the brewing utensils, are completely destroyed.—Greenock 44verif8Prt Tait CaicKET..—ThOse .who have attended to the habit; of the hearth cricket (Gryllus domesticus) know that it passes the hottest part of tlka summer in sunny situations, concealed in the crevices of walls, and heaps of rubbish. It quitsits summer residence about the end of August, and fixes its residence by the fire-side of the kitchen or cottage, where it multiplies its species, and is as merry at Christmas as others in the dog-days. Thus do the comforts of a warm hearth afford the cricket a safe refuge, not from death, but from temporary torpidity ; which it can support for a long time, when deprived by accident of artificial warmth. If a colony of crickets, for example, be deprived, in winter, of the usual warmth of the fire around which they are esta blished for some weeks, they will all disappear into their holes and hiding places ; but no sooner is the fire re-lit, and warmth diffused, then the crickets again begin to bestir themselves; and shake off their torpor. SUGAR.—Sugar is one of the most ancient productions of India; Its Sanscrit name, sukkhar, is obviously the origin of its European designation, as sukkhar kundis of sugar candy. The cultivation of the vine was introduced into the south of Europe by the Saracens ; it was extended to the Canaries by the Portuguese, and from thence it was taken to Hispanolia by the Spaniards in the year 1506. Nowhere have the ef fects of the introduction of new vegetables into favourable localities been more remarkable than in the coffee and cane plantations of the West Indies ; and nowhere has the import ance of selecting the best species for cultivation been more fully manifested, The introduction of the Bourbon and Otaheite canes, instead of those descended from the original stock imported from the Canaries, produced a complete re volution in West India property about the close of the last century. It was -not until lately that this cane was intro duced into the West Indies ; but it has spread rapidly, and the climate all over India seems adapted to it. A com parison between the sugars of the East and West Indies is an excellent illustration of the great importance of culture. Indeed, it will generally be found that acclimated plants at tain' greater perfection in the country where they have been adopted, than in that of which they were originally the na tives ; as, for instance, pulse, potatoes, garden fruits, &c. ; and the reason is sufficiently plain : in their new country great attention is paid to their culture—in their native land too much confidence is reposed in spontaneous production. —Athena um. Wln' WON'T THE WHIGS BUILD SHIPS?-It seems to us a most extraordinary thing, that whilst every one admits the necessity of England's maintaining a ilaVy op a scale more extensive and efficient than any other country in the world; and whilst all parties exclaim that they would be delighted if more money were expended op repairing and extending the wooden walls of (.14 gn g land, the ministry should neverthe less exhibit such downright reluctance to comply with the national wish. They cannot deny its expediency, and they know fall well that no House of Commons would hesitate to furnish supplies, if demanded for such a patriotic purpose ; nay, we even think they would become popular by adopting such a course. Their paid scribes and underlings exhibit such delight when they point out the repairing of some rotten guard-ship, and their opponents so clamorously insist on our navy being rendered more efficient, that we really think the most popular act the ministry could do, would be to add at once ten new line-of-battle ships to our fleet. None would object to this augmentation of our truly national force, or to the founding varioo establishments for the. Nu, cation and spbooling of smien, or at leait 'adopting some improved syseetpfiir manning our navy. It is jolly to say we have all that we want; circumstances might arise to morrow such as to render ten ships a most acceptable addi tion to our force; whilst, as we are at present situated, even though we were to be suddenly presented with such a force, we could not find men sufficient to man three of them effi ciently.—From Fraser's Magazine for December. How TO GET A TIGHT RING OFF A FlNGER. — Thread a needle flat in the eye with a strong thread, pass the head of the needle, with care, under the ring, and pull the thread through a few inches towards the hand; wrap the long end of the thread tightly round the finger, regularly, all down to the nail, to rPtiVIPP its side. Then lay hold of the sot ePti oft twq Thg thread pressing quit*, the ring remove it frOm the finger• This wiethntl will remove the tighteSt ring without difficulty, however much swollen the finger may be. A WIFE.—Whon a man of sense comes to marry, it is a companion that he wants, not an artist. It is not merely a creature who can paint or play, and sing and dance ; it is a being who can comfort and judge, 'discourse and discriminate ; one who can assist him in his affairs, lighten his sorrows, purify his joys, strengthen his principles, and educate his children. Such is the woman who is fit for a mother and the mistress of a family. A woman of the former description occasionally figures in the drawingrroPm, 444 attra,94 thu admiratign cqmpanA, 1)4 she entirely unfit rod' a help? mate'to man ; 4140 1 4* 4 . P 4ON in the way he should go." -• ' • SAGAOITY OF THE AItAU HORSH.—Nothing can exceed the attachment that exists between the poor Arab and his horse, often his whole stock of wealth. The mare and her foal inhabit the same tent with his family, and are caressed by all. The body of a mare is often - the pillow of her mas ter, and more frequently of his children, who roll about upon her and the foal without the least risk. The kindness thus engendered is returned by the mare in many of those situations when the life of the child of the desert depends only on the sagacity, and swiftness of his faithful courser. When the Arab falls wounded from his mare, she will vgs„ SlioiAct nj imme diately WO still , and neigh until ass i s t an ce fatigue compel Mtn lq he`' down to steep lq the desert, she watches over hig!, and arouses .to on t h e approach of man or beast.— Whlite's History of the Turf, N EW MODE Or EXTINGUISHING FIRES.—At a lecture on combustion, delivered at the Mechanics' Institution at Cheltenhan, on Monday, Mr. E. W. Wells, chemist of that town, brought forward two plans which he suggested for ex tinguishing the largest fires in a very short time. After ex plaining that a common combustion could not be supported without a supply of oxygen; be stated that his first plan of ex tinguishing consisted in shutting out the supply of oxygen in the following manner :—" For instance, iron plates with a inporablitiMe compressible substance projecting frem the edges; might be erected nainst the wilicldvo4 and doors, •and sustained by inclined poles ; the oxygen of the interior of the house being only one-fifth of the whole air, would be im mediately absorbed, and none in addition being admitted, the combustion would inevitably cease." The lecturer by means of lighted candles placed in large glass vessels, proved the correctness of this theory. The next plan was to suffocate the flames by carbonic gas. He recommended the construc tion of a large machine, capable of containing one ton of car bonate of lime, a proportion of water, and about half-a-ton of sulphuric acid ; the contact of these materials being regu lated by valves and tubes, an immense quantity of carbonic gas could be generate 4 and PoilVeYP4l4 its awn preTire tq the interior of the lipuso; pornhvistion ponldnotfotit monient exist. Mr. Wells announced that lie intended to lay his plans before the government, and if be could get no assistance from that quarter, to form a joint - stock c om p a ny to construct the machines described.—lnventor's Advocate. A new discovery is said by the Industriel Alsacien to have been made ; which, if the experiments which are now mak ing prove it to be correct, is very important. It is said that by a certain chemical preparation or process, indigo can be obtained from the saw-dust of the oak tree ; and that the indigo thus obtained, presen ts u p on analysis, all the proper ties of the indigo from the tropics. The experiments are carried on in a village in the neighbourhood of Alskirch. QPPLATION FOR THE CURE OF WRY NEC K .—Th e L ance t contain§ a report pf a repont operation by Dr, F, Snaith, of Boston, for the cure of ivvy lieek! The doctor first passed the operating knife underneath, and then cut, in an outward direction, the tendinous portion of the sterno,cleide-mastoid muscle. The patient described the sound produced to him, in cutting the tenden, like that of breaking sticks across the knee, and at the moment of dividing it, he felt excruciating pain. The operation occupied scarcely a quarter of a minute, and not more than two or three drops of blood followed. The side, which had previously been depressed upon the shoulder, bobbed up, like an automaton ffgure suddenly set in motion. The wound caused by the introduction of the knife healed the next day, and in three days the patient was enabled to resume his usual employment. He has now the natural position of the head without any effort, and the defect is perfectly cured. Wo N nEaFtm CLOCKS. — Two ve ry extraordina r y c l oc k s were, some time since presented by the East India Com pany to the Emperar of China, being --t-fre4Y manufactured by English artists. They were in the form of chariots, each of which contained a lady se ated, leaning her right hand on a part of the chariot, under which was a clock little larger than a shilling, that struck, repeated, and went for eight days without winding up. A bird was on t h e lady ' s finger, finely modelled, and set with diamonds and rubies, with its wings expanded as if to fly, and which was made to flutter for a considerable time on touching a diamond button. The body of this curious bird, in which were the wheels that ani mated it, was less than the sixteenth part of an inch. In the lady's left hand was a golden tube, with a small round box on the top, to which was fixed a circular ornament set in diamonds, which went round in three ho urs . A d ou ble umbrella was over the l ad y s head, supported by a small ' fluted pillar, and under , which was a bell that struck the hour, though apparently unconnected with the clock ; and at the lady's feet was a golden dog, before which were two birds, set with precious stones, and apparently flying away with the chariot, which, from another secret motion, is contrived to run in any direction, while a boy appears to push it forward: There were also flowers, ornaments, and a flying dragon, all set with precious stones, or formed of them, and the rest was made of gold most curiously executed, and presenting a won derful specimen of ingenuity and talent, MEETINGS OF CREDITORS FOR LIVERPOOL.

Of Irish new Oats and Oatmeal we have had moderate imports : the former have sustained our previous quotations, 3s to 3s Id par 4slbs ; but at yeSterday's market. any change in the value of Meal was rather in favour of the buyer, and there was not much sold. Fresh parcels of American and ;C'anadian Flour are becoming scarce : prime marks of the former command 345. Canadian 33s to 33s 6d per brl: English new Malting Barley is worth 36s to 408. Fine new Beans 46s to 485 per quarter. Irish new kiln dried Beans 438 to 445 per 480 lbs. Peas have met a valuable sale at 406 to 435 per imperial quarter. American Flour in bond is held at 238 per brl. The chief imports of the week are comprised in 12,037 quarters of Wheat, 2,187 quarters of Barley, and 2,292 quarters of Malt from the English coast : 1,962 quarters of Wheat, 5,477 quarters of Oats 6,854 loads of Oatmeal, and 1,103 sacks of Flour from Ireland; and, of the latter, there are reported 1,328 barrels from Canada.

No sales of Mauritius. Foreign.-500 bags damaged Manilla, of low quality, were taken by the Refiners at 15s 3d to 16s. Nothing done in other descriptions.' Nn sainS in Bonded Refined. Treacle inquired for. Nothing reported in Molasses. Coffee. There has been rather mute inquiry for Plantation, particularly for the middling qualities ; the sales consist of about 110 casks of Jamaica and a small parcel of Demerara, at about previous rates. 15 frazils of good Mocha brought 120 shillings per cwt. Of Foreign, 150 bags Brazil were sold at 41s to 42s 3d per cwt. Nothing done in Cocoa, 100 bags klarbadoes Ginger are reported at 4Ss to 46s per cwt., 170 bags Pimento at 3d, and 200 bags black Pepper at 4d per lb.

Indigo.-16 chests of Oude are reported at 3s gd per lb, all round. The public sales on Wednesday comprised 324 dints East India Gum Arabic, 10 chests Animi, 5 Olibanum, 42 cases Castor Oil, 5 chests and 160 bags Mother-of-Pearl Shells, 50 bags East India Galls, and 150 bags Saltpetre; of which 90 chests Gum Arabic sold, at prices ranging from 18s to 28s for low and ordinary, 46$ to 50s for middling to good, and 67s per cwt. for a few chests of unnsually fine quality, 5 chestd Olibanum at 19s to 30s, the Mother-of-Pearl Shells at 16s to 29s 6d, as in quality, and the Galls at 655. 4 scrims silver Cochineal sold at 4s 2d, and 72 chests Lac Dye at Is gd per lb. For the Saltpetre brought to auction there was not a bidding ; the market has been extremely dull for some time past, and the transactions during the last six weeks barely exceed 1100 bags, and these at declining prices, and the quotations arereducedaccordingly. Of Nitrate of Soda the sales are about 200 bags, within the range of the quotations. Dyewoods.—The sales in Logwood are about 200 tons Campeachy, at .e 9 78 6d to £9 12s 6d, 50 tons inferior Tobasco at .e 8 los, and 20 tons Honduras and Lt. Domingo at lOs ; 20 tons Cuba Fnstic are reportep at £9 15s to 17s 6d; 10 tons Camwood at £22 to £26, and 15 tons solid Nicaragua Wood at .e 9 per ton. There are no sales of Turpentine reported this week, nor is there any alteration of price. A cargo of 1008 barrels Stokholm Tar was offered by auction, but withdrawn, and subsequently sold at about 199. For Montreal Pot Ashes there has been a fair demand, and 200 to 300 brls. have been sold, at 28e for 1838, 28s 6d for 1839, and 30s for 1840. Pearl Ashes are rather dull at 29s 6d, but there are no sellers below this price. 16 bales very ordinary Jamaica Bees' Wax are reported at £7 12s 6d per ton. There has been more business doing in Hides, but at lower prices; about 43,800 East India Kips were sold by auction last Friday, at lON to 11 id for sound dry salted. Bid to sozd for Ist rubbed, 83 to 9id for sound dry and brined, did to lid for Ist rubbed, and Sid to 7itl for second rubbed, 1500 Buffalo Hides and Kips at 6d to 61, 700 drr Valparaiso at bid to 7d, 1000 Lima at 6d to did, and about 3300 dry salted Brazil at si to 64d, (the greater part at 5d to Sid ;) 2500 salted Monte \ ~Leo were also reported at the close of last week at 4id to 5d per lb. Tobacco. —The demand has not been so extensive this week ; for the month the sales amount to 2300 hhds. viz. 620 Virginialeafand4sostemmed, 90 Kentnek leaf and 1140 stemmed; of these, 480 were for Ireland, so for Scotland, 150 for export, 300 to Speculators, and the re mainder to the Trade. The only alteration in prices has been an advance of fully id per Id od Kentucky stemmed, (previously noticed,) and a decline in Virginia leaf of id per lb, chiefly on the better sorts. This stock is still short as compared last year at this time. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, DEC. 7 We observe much activity in our Butter market to-day,—holders have, however, suddenly become extremely shy in offering their stocks except at an advance of 25 to 3s per cwt. Fine Belfast is now well worth 1045—and favourite South Country Brands com mand the same price. Pickled Butter is a moderate sale, at 94s to gss for seconds. There is a great deal of inferior Beef on the market, which is offering very low. Very prime Beef is not plenti #4 and the price of such is comparatively supported. Pork is in rather better demand, but the currency does not improve. Bacon has excited speculators attention, and nothing fine is now tube had under 50s—some ask 51s to 523. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, DEC. 4 The market opened with an increased demand from the Trade, and more disposition to buy freely was shown than for some weeks past ; this caused an advance of Ad per lb upon the low to middling qualities of American, but to-day more inclination has been evinced to sell, and the market has closed without spirit at about last week's rates. Fair to good descriptions of American continue without the least change, the supply being so much more abundant than usual at this period of the season. Egyptian and East India are without variation, but Waal' may be quoted rather lower. Speculators have %ken asoo American; and there have been forwarded into the country unsold during the past month, 1500 American, 50 Fern= and 520 Surat. Since the above, which was written yester day to go by the Steam Packet to America, about 4000 bags have been sold at previous rates.
