I have also submitted it to 'chemical examination, and I have no hesitation in saying that I con sider it an excellent Coal, well adapted both for domestic use and for the purposes of the arts and manufactures. It is remarkably free from slate and iron pyrites, or sul phuret of iron. It is not a heavy or hard Coal, but easily breaks into small pieces. It kindles readily, burns in the open grate freely and pleasantly, producing a cheerful fire, with much heat and flame. It is not what may be considered a caking coal ; for, in burning, it cokes so little that it scarcely requires stirring. It is a lively, but Ido not consider it a swift Coal : it is a Coal that can be burned with very little waste. Its cinders are very good, yield a durable heat, and leave only about one-fiftieth of incombustible ashes, con sisting of earthy matter and oxide of iron. If I mistake not, this Coal will soon become a favourite in the kitchen. The Talacre Coal, in my opinion, will be found a valuable fuel in breweries, distilleries, glass-houses, vitriol works, &c. The circumstance of its not caking to any extent fits it admirably for furnaces. We cannot use caking coal in our smelting furnaces without admixture of coke or charcoal; whereas the Talacre Coal may be used alone, and affords a very intense heat. From some experiments I made on the smelting of iron and copper in a wind furnace, using only this Coal, the heat produced exceeded my most sanguine expecta tions, and the results I obtained were most satisfactory. This Coal is well adapted for making gas, yielding a large quantity of good quality, which burns with a clear white light. It also makes coke of a very good quality. Such are the valuable properties of the Talacre Coal that it must, I think, soon recommend itself to a discerning pub remain, Sir, your obedient servant. EDMUND DAVEY, Prof. Chem.

I have the pleasure to offer to your notice a Stone Quarry in North,Wales, whose produce is now importing into Lon don, two cargoes having already arrived; and, unless I am much mistaken, the introduction of this stone to the British architects will prove a valuable boon. The quarries are situ ated on the coast of Flintshire, within a mile of the Point of Ayr, at the mouth of the estuary of the Dee, and adjoining the grounds of Talacre Hall, the seat of Sir Edward Mostyn, Bart. The mineralogicalcharacter of this stone is that of silicious sand stone, with an argillo-silicious cement. It is of great density, a cubic foot weighing 1544-Ibs.,—is worked with great ease, and, being remarkably free from hard untractable veins and soft places, is capable of a very smooth surface, a fine arris, and the most delicate carving. The closeness of its texture and the fineness of its grain render it very desir able for external work in a large city, as it prevents the soot from adhering to it, and thus clogging up the mouldings and carvings, reducing them to an undistinguishable mass of of blackness—a fault justly complained of in the Bath and Portland stones. For landings and steps, the Talacre Stone far excels the very best kinds of Yorkshire stone, as it is superior in strength, and not liable to scale in the unsightly manner that so frequently destroys the appearance of the the finest pave ments of Yorkshire stone, as may be seen near the post-office and in the Temple ; and as the Quarries are now in the pos session of a London Company (The Talacre Coal and Iron Company), an abundant supply of large sized stone may be expected. Its colour is very uniform, and to my taste, has a beautiful tone, which eminently fits it for interior finishings, especially ,in the Gothic style. Its durability may he seen in the shrine of St. Winifred's well, at Holywell, in Flintshire, which was constructed of this stone in the 15th century, and though exposed to the humidity of the air, incident to the neighbourhood of moun tains and an arm of the sea, as well as to the clouds of sul phurous smoke from the numerous works on the stream issuing from that celebrated spring, yet still preserves its rich and delicate carvings in a very perfect state. Many other ancient buildings in the neighbourhood have been constructed or ornamented with this stone, as the ancient mansion in the village of Llanasa, with its curious carved porch, erected in 1642, the carvings and ashlar of which are still very per fect; the quoins of Rhyddlan and Denbigh castles, built the latter end of the 13th century; and among modern buildings, Talacre Hall, the seat of Sir Edward Mostyn, Bart. the masonry of which is the admiration of all. I may mention that the chimney pieces of this mansion, in the Gothic style, are carved in this stone, and have a very beautiful effect. The following is the result of an experiment made on the comparative strength of the Talacre stone with the best Yorkshire : A piece of Talacre stone, 2 feet GI inches long, 3 inches wide, and 2 inches thick, bore for several minutes a weight of Best Yorkshire, of the same size, broke immediately with a pressure of 4 cwt. 2 qrs. 1 lb. .... 4 cwt. 0 qr. 11 lbs. I may add that from the proximity of the quarries to the new harbour of port Talacre, this stone can be brought to London at a price little, if at all, e , 7ceeding that of York s hi re stone. JOHN JENKINS. TEST OF THE POROSITY OF TALACRE STONE, AS COMPARED WITH BALSOVER MOOR. Two pieces of stone, one of Balsover Moor and the other of Talacre, eaeh weighing 1,000 grains, were put at the same time into two different vessels of the same size, each contain ing equal quantities of water. After remaining in the water for 48 hours they were taken out, and allowed to stand a few minutes to enable the water on the surface to run oft'; they were then weighed with the following result :—The Balsover was found to weigh 1053 grains, thus showing it to have ab sorbed 53 grains weight of water. The Talacre weighed 1031 grains, absorbing 31 grains of water. The obvious cause of this great difference being the loose, and consequently porous structure of the one stone over the other. This experiment being repeated, it was found that the 1000 grains of Balsover Moor absorbed 45 grains in four hours; the 1000 grains of Talacre absorbed 30 grains in the same time, and after the expiration of two hours more, the stones were again weighed, the Balsover had absorved 8 grains more water and the Ta lacre 1 grain. They were then returned to the water and al lowed to stand forty-eight hours, but without any additional weight on the part of either. When a 'stone is required to wear well, and is much ex posed to the weather, porosity is the worst defect it can pos sess. In the first place it allows vegetation to take place, by giving room for the roots to fix themselves, and containing so much water promotes, as well as supplies such vegetation, to a most injurious degree. Secondly, its porosity is at tended with a more direct evil ; from its structure readily ad mitting water by absorption, in summer weather heavy showers coming on, and immediately afterwards a bright and hot sun makes its appearance shining with great power, the porous stone absorbing a deal of water, the sun soon dries and warms the surface, which warmth is, in a very short space of time, communicated to the inner part of the stone, and causes the water to expand, being unable to make its escape the stone scales, and flat thin pieces fall off. These remarks also hold good in frosty weather, especially when the frost comes on suddenly after much wet, the pressure m the top and s id es of the stone causes it to expand towards the l . surface, which i s a l so one of the causes o f the stone render it stone e 1 ig These and o th er remarks that could be ad evident th a t f or pu b lic buildings, stonesofLe u closest texture should b e se l ected, b e i ng less su bj ec t to injury from the weather, as ab ove s t a t e d.

British College of Health, New Road, London, April Bth, 1840. POLIC.E INTEL LIGENCE.-FRIDAY. JUVENILE DELINQUENCY. Two little boys, whose heads could scarce be seen as they stood in the dock, were charged by a shopkeeper living in Great Homer-street, with having stolen two bottles of ginger beer from his counter. The complainant stated that the boys on Thursday, along with others. came into the shop under some pretext or 'other, and he detected the prisoners carrying away a bottle of ginger beer each. lie had them taken into custody. After a reprimand, the children were given into the charge of their friends. ROBBERY By A SERVANT. Mr. Thomas Henry Hoey, charged a young female named Jane Griffiths, who lived with him as house servant, with having robbed him of various articles. Suspicion had rested upon the prisoner for some time, in consequenceof which her bed-room was searched, and a number of articles missing found. Mr. Hoey prayed the leniency of the bench on be half of the unfortunate girl. The prisoner was remanded. A BAD CHARACTER. A rough-looking young fellow, named George Howell, was placed at the bar for having been found stealthily ascending the stairs in the dwelling-house of a lady who gave her name Mrs. Fairer. The complainant stated that she observed the prisoner going up stairs, and called out to him, whereupon he turned round and knocked her down, and made his way out of the house; she called assistance, and the prisoner was followed and captured. The officer who took the prisoner into custody said, in apprehending him he (the prisoner) be haved in a most violent manner, and drew a clasp-knife upon him. Mr. Parkinson, the bridewell keeper, stated that the prisoner was a most desperate character, and had been ten times committed and six charged ; lie was a most dangerous man, for when any opposition was offered him he invariably used a knife or some other deadly weapon. The prisoner was sent for three months to Kirkdale. SATUKDAY. A DISHONEST BELL-HANGER. Mr. Walthew, a gentleman who resides in the country, charged a mechanic with the following improper behaviour. The prisoner was sent to Mr. Walthew's house by an iron monger, and his duty was to put the bells in order. While there, Mr. Walthew directed him to repair a lock. When he had departed, Mr. Walthew found that someone had been at his cupboard, and that some of his wine was missing. Next day the pris on e r r e t urne d t o th e h ouse, an d , after he had finished his job, he gave the girl a key, which he told her would open Mr. Walthew's closet, so that she might go to it whenever she liked. The girl refused the offer, and askel the prisoner what he had taken. He replied, " A bottle of porter." She did not tell her master of this, but as he missed some other articles from the closet, he went to her, and threatened to turn her away, if she did not inform him bow he had been robbed. She then told him what she had de tailed to the magistrates. He had used his utmost endea vours to induce her to come forward as a witness, but he could not persuade her, as she said she should not like to 'hurt the man. The prisoner first asked whether the servant were still living with Mr. Walthew; but, receiving no an swer, he was proceeding to tell that he had procured the key in Mr. Walthew's house, and what had passed between him and the servant, when he was stopped.by the magistrate, who ordered him to be remanded. CAUTION TO CIGAR SMOKERS. Several persons, dressed as sailors, have lately been in cus tody for defrauding smokers in the manner.which will be elu cidated in the following case. A young, ham:some man named Richard Malone, was placed at th e b ar on Saturday.. A youthful excise-officer stated, that he was passing along Dale-street, on Friday evening, when the prisoner stopped him and whispered in a low tone " Can you keep a secret ?" " I can," was the reply. " Then," said the pretended sailor, " 1 have been regularly in the trade between New Or leans and Havana, and I have brought to England some prime cigars, which, as they are smuggled, I can sell cheap." The exciseman professed his willingness to become a purchaser. Ti; prisoner said he bad four boxes which th.. other might have for three pounds. He also showed a shawl which he had hidden within his breast, which he said was of foreign manafacture. The exciseman introduced the prisoner to a Brother -officer and they purchased one box In reply to their frequent and pretendedly anxious inquiries, the prisoner protested that the cigars were" real genuine Havana, and no mistake." " And are they so ? " asked Mr. Harvey. " No," replied,the officers in a breath, " they are not foreign at all." Such being the case, the magistrates had no power of pro ceeding but - byinformation. • The excise-officers seized four boxes. The case, with one or two others of a similar nature, was directed to be put into the hands of Lieut. Walker, of the customs. The prisoners, in these cases, denied that they had been guilty of any offence, us they had bought the cigars honestly, and paid for them, and also had permits with them. They are, however, liable to penalties for hawking, and to very heavy fines for offering British roods as foreign, and for offering any goods as smuggled. The prisoners were dis charged, in order that they may be regularly proceeded against. WITCHCRAFT.—At the petty sessions held at Devynnock, on Tuesday , an application was made to the magistrates for a warrant against a person for threatening to burn the com plainant (a man 74 years of age), for bewitching a mare of the defendant's, and that his (complainant's) Wife frequently a ppeared in the form of a hare !—Silttriart. A MILKOMETER.—In the Italian states a small instru ment is used in the dairies, something like that in use by brewers to ascertain the saccharine quality of their wort, by which they discover if any water has been mixed with the milk. 'What an useful instrument would this be in our little island ? PROTESTANT CHALLENGE —The Rev. T. Billington, Roman Catholic Priest at York, having put forth some ob servations on the late visit of the Rev. Mr. M'Ghee to that city, together with contradictory remarks on his statements before the Protestant Association, the latter gentleman, in a letter which appears in the York Gazette, challenges the for mer to a disputation in the following extract :—" Now, if yoit be an honest man, and think I have made a false state ment in York, 'hereby invite you to meet me on the platform in the Festival Concert Room, in this city. You shall havr the tickets of admission—say 500 .fir Roman Catholics ; let the Protestant Association hare 500 more, and let the assembly be distinctly separated, so that it will be easy to pass from one side to another if it is necessary to ascertain the votes of the meeting on any question." Mr. M'Gliee further says, " I demand that you produce your. ritual, and whatever system of moral theology you will pretend to set forward as the guide of yourself and your fraternity in the confessional. I will produce whatever books I please, and especially those which I have purchased at York, and which I see you put into the hands of the Roman Catholic females of that city, and which are the same wherever priests are to be found. And, then, sir, I will put to a meeting of 1000 men, or any other number assembled in the Concert-room, this resolution That on comparing the ritual of the priests, and the code of moral theology, produced by Mr. Billingtou, according to which priests are to direct the tribunal of con fession, with the books produced by Mr. M'Ghee; and those sold in the shops for the use of females, in York, it is the opinion of this meeting that the system by which the Romish priests examine their female penitents in the confessional is cruel, tyrannical, immoral—not only totally unauthorised kry the word of God, hut in plain opposition to it ; that it is such a system as no father, husband, or brother ought to the Pope, to for his daughter, wife, or sister • that the bulls of t t l h i st P t o h p e e N . , and the secret statutes of Popish bishops, prove know how their priests abuse their power licentiou snessto tr)unao „ and vice, while they impose this l asholy the m pe i o n p e le t ; o Itnhisf.utuulereettino‘:coduettee.srs atenadchthtahtetihr their sins to the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our great hi4l3 the Roman a a o n d C d a a th o o gp ic te s r i s n priest, the hope and . refu ge of ti o ul u u r ie s s eoulvs4fat:odsoto a r that , they op l of allow the females of tam f ri‘% aitziu•'
