This highly interesting and important subject, on which the minds of scientific and nautical men have been put. on the qui rive by the late numerous shipwrecks, and particularly by the melancholy fate of the Royal Charter, was ably treated in a lecture on Thursday evening, at the National Schools, Oxton, by T. Dobson, Esq., 8.A., head master of the frigate Conway. The attention of Mr. Dobson has, for a great number of years been directed to the observation of meteorological phenomena. He has thus amassed an amount of information, and become possessed of data which proves almost to demonstration that the theories of Reid and other eminent meteorologists are uncontrovertable. The school-room was crowded—every avail able seat was occupied, while the space be tween the rows barely afforded standing room to late arrivals. The audience was highly respect able, consisting almost entirely of the elite of the society in the neighbourhood. The lecture was illustrated by numerous dia grams, showing the usual course of storms in both hemispheres, the comparative force of winds, and the mode in which they travelled. JAMES BEAZLEY, Esq., who occupied the chair, in a few appropriate remarks introduced the lecturer, who commenced by saying that a lec turer to be successful ought to combine the useful with the agreeable ; but he was afraid he would not be able to say anything very agreeable on such a subject as storms. In order to make himself understood it would be necessary to make a few remarks .on the normal condition of the atmosphere, which it was almost unnecessary to state was about 45 miles in height; storms, consequently, from the superin cumbent pressure are most violent within three miles of the earth. But how does wind arise ? If a large fire be kindled in a room, when the air becomes heated, and consequently rarified, it ascends and makes its escape by the chimney, while at every keyhole, and, at every open space, streams of bold air are rushing to supply its place. Just in the same way are ordinary winds caused. The great heat at the equator, which may be likened to a great furnace, heats and. rarifies the air, causing it to ascend, while cold* air rushes in from every quarter, thus, producing those winds which blow for long periods in one direction, and known as trade winds. That was the normal state, with which the storms of which he had to speak had nothing to do. In treating of them he would merely state the results which had been arrived at by such eminent men as Reid, who considered the circular theory to be now established beyond a doubt ; that is to say, they held that all great storms moved in eddies, the same as an eddy in water, and, that they all arose near the equator. In the northern hemisphere they move in a direction opposite to, while in the southern hemi sphere they take the same direction as, the hands of a watch. Opinions, the most erroneous, have been formed regarding storms, arising from obser vations taken on land only, whereas it is only at sea they retain their normal char acter, and consequently can be properly studied ; whenever they strike land they become broken up, and lose their normal condition. The lecturer here pointed out on a chart the course of the great storm of 1828, which arose on the northern coast of the South American Continent, and travelled in a north-easterly direction till it struck on the shores of Great Britian. The course of this he believed to be identical with that.on the 25th and 26th October last, in which the Royal Charter was lost. When this subject was first started, many theories were in vogue. One was that all great storms travelledto the westward, but this was now found to be fallacious. In the Northern Hemis phere the Chinese typhoons all travel westward, and the hurricanes prevalent in the Bay of Bengal. In the South Pacific, again, there is a class whose onward motion is to the east, which is an exception to the general law of cyclones. In the South Atlantic these storms are not met with. It has been observed that the focus of all great storms is also a volcanic focus. It will at once be seen to be so (pointing to the diagram already alluded to), as the part of the world in which this storm arose, along the northern shore of South America and the West India Islands, is well known to be an active volcanic region. Another law is cer tainly general, that they travel towards the Poles, while it is a recognised fact that they always move from the Equator. Mr. Dobson here proceeded to illustrate some of the phenomena connected with the storm in which the Royal Charter was wrecked.. He did so by a series of diagrams, which showed the comparative force of the wind, the sudden and apparently un accountable changes in its direction, and the varia tions of the mercury in the barometer during the days and within the circle of that hurricane. On Tuesday, the 25th, there was almost a dead calm, and any slight wind there was, according to the registry at Liverpool Obser vatory, at 11 o'clock, was from the S.E. By two o'clock the same day it had changed to east. At four o'clock on Wednesday. morn ing its direction was from the N.E., at which time, it will be remembered, the doomed ship was thumping with terrible violence on the reef. By ten o'clock the same day it was due N., and at two in the afternoon, it had whirled round to the N.W. Now, he was wholly unable to account for those changes, apparently so capricious, by any other theory than that which he had already mentioned, viz., that wind always moves in eddies. He then traced the motion of the wind on a diagram of concentric circles representing an eddy, and showed how entirely the above mentioned changes in the direction of the wind tallied with it in every particular. The dead calm of Tuesday which proceeded the hurricane, resulted from the fact that we were in the centre of the eddy; for, however strange it might seem, - there was always a space in the middle totally unaffected. It is easy to see how the captain Of the ship might be misled by this fact, for' nothing can prove more dangerous or so readily take a ship at a disadvantage. The rapid changes remarked in the barometer could only be explained by the fact that all eddies, whether of air or water, in conformity with the law of centrifugal force, had a tendency to throw the air or water from the centre. It was thus plain that on the edge of a storm the air was denser and the mercury rose in the glass. As the storm proceeded on its course, or as the ship neared its centre, the air, in accordance with the law alluded to, is always becoming- lighter ; hence the mer cury falls,' till the lull of the centre is reachecli . „ Which being crossed, the• same, phenomena is observed, only in the central,' way. 'These facts received confirmation from close and accurate ob servationsduring the storm on the 25th and 26th of October, and which he considered placed beyond all controversy, the theory he had explained. Many physical manifestations had also taken place, which strengthen and establish the hy pothesis of the intimate connection between vol canic action, and great tempests. He had a letter from a friend, the captain of a ship which suffered. severely in this. storm, some time before it reached our shores ; and the 'variations of the wind, as described by him, furnish additional evidence in proof of -the circular motion of the wind, as they also in all points agree with the motion of the wind as traced in the diagram. He has not: yet sufficient data, but when he can procure the log-boOks of about twenty other ships, he hopes to be able to trace this, storm to its source, and prove that it followed a route almost identical with that great tempest to which he alluded in the beginning of his lecture. Mr. Dobson concluded his lecture by describing how storms affected miners, and explained the reason of the prevalence of explosions in mines during the time they are raging. He attributed it to the fact that they impede the 'ventilation of mines, and thus favoured the accumulation of noxious gases. During the late storm an explosion occurred at Newcastle, he had heard of no other, but, he did not doubt, when he had time to inquire, he would find that a great many had taken place. Having thus given a general outline of the law of storms and some of the interesting phenomena accom panying them, he would not trespass further on the time of the meeting, but would conclude by thanking them for their kind attention on so dry a subject. (Applause.) - The Rev. W. F. TATTERSALL, incumbent of Oxton, proposed, and Mr. S. RATUBONE seconded, a vote of thanks to the lecturer, Which was carried with great cordiality. A similar tribute was offered to the chairman for his kindness in taking the chair on that occa sion. _ _ This terminated the proceedings of the meeting. COUNTY COURT. v - .ESTERDAY. (Before W. A. HULTON, Esq., Judge.) CROSSLEY AND OTHERS V. HORSLEY.—The plaintiffs in this case were Richard Crossley and a number of other persons, and the defendant was Howard Horsley, of 28, Chapel-walks, a warehouse keeper. The case had been previously before the court in another form, and it now came up for re-hearing on the main point of the issue. The defendant was sued for a sum of £ll 65., which was alleged to be the amount due as his contri bution to the loss sustained upon certain property in Brook-street, Birkenhead, which has been paid by the plaintiffs, who were jointly interested with the defendant and others in the property. Mr. Deighton, barrister, instructed by Messrs. Dodge and Wynne, appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Blackhurst conducted the case on behalf of the defendant.—Mr. Deighton put in various documents, including the mortgage _ deed and the trust deed; and one of the plaintiffs, Mr. Crossley, gave evidence that the property in question was purchased for £1,160, in 50 equal shares ; the £525 due to the mortgagee was paid by him on the part of the various owners, that a further sum of £4O was expended on account of interest, and that the de fendant had refused to pay his proportion of these ex penses. In cross-examination, he admitted that he had not consulted the defendant before making the pay ments in question. Several legal points were raised ; and Mr. Blackhurst put in for the defence a certificate of bankruptcy, dated February, 1850, subsequent to the execution of the mortgage, urging that the present claim might have been made at that time on the estate. Mr. Deighton, on the other hand, contended that there was no debt to prove at that time, although the liability existed. His Honour ruled that the defendant was liable to the plaintiff, who was one of seven suitors, only to the extent of one-seventh of the fiftieth part of the expenses incurred. Upon the application of Mr. Deighton, his Honour agreed to strike out the names of all the plaintiffs, except Mr. Crossley, and to give that gentleman a verdict for the seventh of the sum claimed—£l 12s.

EXTRAORDINARY AND USEFUL INYBNTlON.—Therfrifl nothing that housewives complain of with greater truthfulness than the breaking of some favourite piece of glass, valuable china, or earthenware. In hundreds of cases such thing Go cannot be matched, and of course cannot be mended. The latter want has been obviated by an extraordinary and effective invention, by Mr. Adshead, of Derby Pottery, near Derby. It is a cement that may be said to heal m a perfect manner, all cracks and breaks in the articles spoken of, and not only iti these, but in marble, alabaster, &c. The benefit of this article need not be dwelt on. We have seen some of its effects at Mr. Hall's, our neighbour's, ani the glass that has been cemented by it is stronger in that part than in any other. The article is very cheap, and no house can Ise long without it. Mr. Hall is the agent for its sale in Liverpool, and all interested can judge for themselves by looking in at his establishment.

A letter from Moelfra, dated Tuesday, says :—" Som thirty-nine bodies have been found since Sunday morn ing, of which the following only can be or have been identified :—Francis F. Hutton, saloon passenger, F. Raiford, passenger, David Bell, as believed from a re ceipt for a re°istered letter found upon his person (‘ to William Richardson from David Bell,') Anthony Belt, Captain James Morris, Mrs. Norman, Dr. Hatch, Mr. Edwin Fowler (at Red-wharf,) and Mr. M. W, Pitcher, at Anilwch." HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PlLLS.—Anxiety is the greatest obstacle to human happiness ; the prudent pride themselves on adopting measures for avoiding it : they insure their houses and ships, and the still more thought ful assure their lives : yet what is life without health ? Can pain and enjoyment dwell harmoniously together? The wisest man secures his own well-being, and in Hollo way's remedies finds a perfect and indisputable policy of assurance against most of the diseases by which humanity is assailed. These preparations ward off many an attack that would, without them, leave desolation in its track, and hurry countless victims to the grave. STATISTICS OF MALTA.—According to the latest re turns, the area of Malta was 115 square miles (Gozo in clusive), and the population 140,303, of whom 134,157 were civilians, including 131,962 Maltese and 1,111 British residents. The births average 4,500 a year, the deaths 3,000, and the marriages 900 to 1,000. 36 schools, attended by 5,507 scholars, testify to the state of education in the island. The revenue and expendi ture were £132,682, against £134,443. Import duties, land revenues, and rents supply the chief items of re venue. At the end of 1857 186 vessels, of 31,680 tons, belonged to Malta, and in that year 10 .of 2,012 tons were built ; 2,856 hips of 432,996. tons entered inwards in that year, and 2,872 of 431,293 tons cleared out. The British and Sicilian vessels take the largest share of the trade. The imports (only those liable to duty being included) were worth £2,361,046, and the exports, £1,850,872. England, France, Spain, and Tuscany are the best customers, while in the import (with Malta) trade England figures for £19,131 only, Russia for £876,811, the Two Sicilics for £197,211, Turkey for £648,367, and Egypt for £422,416.
