For the last thirty years we have not been exposed to such a gale. The losses, it is supposed, will amount to millions of roubles. The following appeared in a part of our impression of yesterday : GERMANY. PROHIBITION OF POLITICAL SOCIETIES IN DARMSTADT [REUTER' S TELEGRAM.] DARMSTADT, Sept. 28,—The official journal of this day contains a decree for the renewal of the ordinance of 1850, which prohibits all subjects of Hesse-Darm stadt from becoming members of any political society, established either in the union or abroad. THE SENATE AND THE 'NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. FRANKFORT-ON-MAINE, Sept. 28.—The Senate has rejected the appeal made by the National Assembly against the refual of the Director of Police to sanction FRANCE The -steam-packet Mirabeau, arrived three days ago at Marseilles, from Algeria, having on board 100 amnestied political prisoners. THE POPE AND THE ROMAGNA [REUTER'S TELEGRAM.] ROME, Sept. 26.—T0-day the Sacred College met and appointed seventeen bishops.

In conclusion his Holiness expresses a hope that the Romagnese will return to their allegiance to the Holy See they t labour The aw.7,r ALGERIA Persons well acquainted with North Africa regard the late attack of the Moorish tribes against the French as a prelude to a more serious invasion of the western frontier of Algeria. THE ITALIAN QUESTION. A variety of incoherent rumours were in circulation at Paris, yesterday, respecting the settlement of the Italian question and the proceedings at Zurich ; but they do not agree with each other, and several are probably pure inventions. The belief seems to be general that a congress is decided upon. [REUTER'S TELEGRAM.] PARIS, Sept. 28th.—The Moniteur of this morning contains the following :—Several foreign papers assert that the solution of the affairs of Italy will be obstructed by the desire which the Emperor has to create in Italy a Prince of his house. These rumours need only be refuted in order to deprive them of every foundation. It suffices, without mentioning the engagements made at Villafranca, to remind the public of the acts and words of the Emperor both before and after that epoch. THE BOUNDARY DIFFICULTY WITH THE UNITED STATES. Colonel Hawkins, Royal Engineers, Chief Commis sioner of the Oregon Boundary Survey Expedition, ar rived in London, yesterday, from Vancouver's Island. in the capacity of special envoy from Governor Douglas, in consequence of the recent occupation, by the United States troops, of the Island of San Juan. Colonel Hawkins transacted business at the Foreign Office shortly after his arrival. _ . The Times says, it has reason to believe that' General Harney placed a military post on San Juan on his own responsiblity, and without instructions from Wash ington. He has declared to the British authority that he did so because American citizenS had been arrested on the island; but that he did not'inean his occupation to be permanent, though it was his ' intention to hold the island till he heard from the Government at Washington. _ _ The Post, referring to the San Juan difficulty, says Our transatlantic cousins had better watch the progress of Russian power in the Pacific, than quarrel with their best friends and best customers—the people of England. THE GREAT EASTERN, . . The Daily News states that in the course of a few days the Great Eastern will be removed from her pre sent position, and anchored in Southampton Water. THE BUILDERS' STRIKE. The proposition of the operative masons work—all on the old terms, viz., 10 hours, pi ,o resume masters would dispense with the declaration, was dis cussed yesterdly; at the weekly meeting of the Central A resolution was passed to the effect, that the masters consider the difficulties in the way of withdrawing the declaration, which has been taken by nearly 8,000 men, as insuperable, but that they are willing to see a depu tation of masons, whose withdrawal from the Conferenc p to the assertion of freedom of of men reported yes NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. THE RED SEA CABLE.—The Imperador, screw steamer, which sails to-morrow for Aden, carries out a portion of the Red Sea Telegraphic Cable. THE REFORM CLUB, whic meets at " The London," in Clayton-square, had under its consideration, last evening, the subject of the late market defalcations. For the ?resent, however, proba%ly till after the Muni cipal Elections are over, reporters are not to be admitted. FlRES.—There were two alarms of fire on Tuesday night, between eleven and twelve o'clock. Some waste shavings had ignited in the cellar of Mr. Capper, window blind manufacturer ; and a fire also broke out in Mr. Lello's linen drapery shop, Scotland-place. Both, how ever, were immediately subdued by the fire-brigade, without the engine being called into requisition. THE MAIL SERVlCE.—Yesterday the Montreal Ocean Mail Company's steamer India sailed for Quebec and Montreal, carrying out nearly 100 passengers, a fair cargo, and the weekly Canadian mails.—Tho screw steamer City of Washington also sailed yesterday, for New York, with the semi-weekly United States mails. She had nearly 350 passengers, of whom upwards of 100 were in the cabin.—To-morrow (Friday) the screw steamer Imperador will be despatched from Liverpool, with an extra mail to Maderia, Cape of Good Hope, Mauritius, and Aden. Letters, which must be directed " Per Imperador," will be received at the Post-office till 9 a.m., and with a late fee of Id. till 9.30 a.m. LIVERPOOL PARLIAMENTARY REVISION.—The revi sion of the list of voters for the borough of Liverpool was resumed yesterday, before Thos. Shaw Brandereth, Esq., the revising assessor. At the opening of the court, the Eirkdale list was proceeded with. The *Con servatives objected to 66, and sustained 58. They withdrew 8 objections, and had nothing to pay in costs. The Radicals made 28 objections, and struck off 17. They withdrew 6, and paid in costs ss. The Radicals made 10 claims, one of which was allowed. The court then proceeded with the Toxteth-park list.

They made 15 claims, and sustained none. . - IMPORTANT AND INTERESTING INVENTIQN.—It is and has been often boasted that the age we live in is pre eminently the age of improvement and progress, and yet for years the question, Where can I get a comfortable hat ? has been answered by the echo, Where; Gentle men who are compelled, by the nature of their pursuits, to wear their hats most of the day, have been subjected to the most annoying and dispiriting headaches owing to the hard unshrinking stubbornness of the hat in general use amongst us. Others, whose business con tinually obliges them to travel in open carriages or on our coasting and river steamers, have had to suffer the annoyance of being left by a passing gust without a covering at all. We were invited a few days ago, by our townsman, Mr. Simpson, of the firm of Kinnear and Simpson, to inspect an invention of his which will obviate both these evils. The hat is, in form and texture, the same as usual, made as light as is con sistent with strength, and Mr. Simpson's improvement consists in a soft band placed under the usual leather lining. This band is composed of a "pile" as soft as velvet, manufactured expressly for this purpose, and its effect is to render the pressure upon the head scarcely perceptible, at the same time it is so elastic that it lightly clings to the head, and prevents the hat being carried away by the wind. We learn from parties who have experienced t'ne comfort of one of these patent soft-banded hats during the past few weeks, that, without exaggeration, it is the most comfortable covering ever put on one's head. The silk hat is now rendered all that can possibly be desired, and it is strongly recommended to all who are troubled with hard hats— and who is not ?—,to try Simpson's patent, which is to be had at their establishments, St. George's Creseut, and Dale-street. MANCHESTER FREE TRADE NOTIONS.—The directors of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, who are also the directors of the Grimsby. Docks, has just come to a decision on the subject of dock dues, that will astonish the mercantile world. It has' been the rule during past years to allow vessels brought from Hull to load coal or coke off the rails at Grimsby, to be free of dock dues, as an inducement for them to come to the port, and as an equivalent for the expenses incurred in moving the vessels and towing down the Humber. The new iron ship, Bates Family, 2,153 tons register, recently built at Hull for a Liverpool firm, came down to load coal and coke from the railway, and she had no sooner taken a part of her cargo on board, than it was inti mated that the full dock dues on foreign shipments of ' 10d. per ton would have to be paid. The dock did not afford the necessary accommodation for loading the vessel, and a portion of the cargo had to be taken out in barges into the river, open to the full swell of the German Ocean. This proceeding entailed a very heavy additional expense and considerable delay to the ship ; and the dock authorities, after much correspondence, offered to forego half the amount claimed. But all appeals to them for the allowance made to other vessels, to be conceded to the Bates Family, failed—the directors, adopting free-trade in theory and protection in practice. hat you can, irrespec dealing MR. DARBY GRIFFITH AND THE ITALIAN CONSTI TUTIONALISTg.—The Devizes Gazette states that Mr. Darby Griffith, M.P., pronipted by his warm sympathy for the Italian_ constitutionalists, has proceeded to Italy to obtain personal information on the state of affair;.. The hon. gentleman has visited Turin and Milan, in- Eending to Proceed to Parma, Modena, Florence, and THE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGES AGAINST A CLERGYMAN. • ADJOURNED INQUEST.-YESTERDAY Yesterday morning, the jury met to resume their inquiry at the New - Globe Tavern, Bow-road, into the death of an infant, about three weeks old, named Phillip Yorath, the illegitimate child of Miss Elizabeth Yorath, , sister of a highly respectable surgeon of that name, prictising at Newport, in Monmouthshire. The inves tigation arose in consequence of several, anonymous let ters forwarded to the Bishop of London, signed " A Parishioner," reflecting on the moral conduct of the Rev. J. Bonwell, rector of St. Philip's district church, Stepney, residing with his wife in Thornhill-square, Islington, where Mrs. Bonwell carries on a ladies' school. 'The anonymous letters contained grave charges against the rev. gentleman, which charges have already been given in our previous report.- The inquest was opened on Saturday, the 17th inst., when evid ence was taken of the burial of Elizabeth Acock by Ayres, on Sunday, the 4th inst., the exhuma tion of the body, and the finding of the infant, and the inquiry was accordingly adjourned for the production of the necessary witnesses, and.to give time for the analysis of the intestines of the infant, whose death and burial were of so mysterious a character. _ The jury re-assembled this morning, and proceeded to hear evidence relative to this extraordinary, painful, and delicate case. Dr. Challice presided for Mr. Humphreys, the coroner, who is confined to his house from an attack of small-pox. The Rev. Mr. Lee, rector of Stepney, and several other clergymen were present. The names of the jurymen having been called over, Dr. ClARice said—ln this case Mr. Humphreys, the coroner, having commenced the proceeding, I am sorry to say that he is in that state of health that it is impos sible for him to attend to-day, and under the circum stances I must adjourn the court. Mr. Best, barrister instructed by Mr. J: B. Sorrel, of 60, Mark-lane, who attended to watch the proceed ings on behalf of the Rev. J. Bonwell, vehemently protested against the postponement. This was a case involving charges of a serious nature that ought not to hang over a man longer than was necessary. Several of the jury protested against being brought from their occupations unnecessarily, and inquired if any witnesses were present. Dr. Chalice said there were not, and he was not in a position to go on with the case. After some further angry remarks from the jury, _ _ Mr. Best inquired if the Rev. J. Bonwell's name was mentioned on the last occasion ? The Coroner said it was not. The case was then adjourned for a week THE GREAT EASTERN.— Captain Harrison visited Southampton on Tuesday, for the purpose of consulting several gentlemen connected with the port on the ad vantages of Southampton for the Great Eastern. LINCOLN CATHEDRAL.—The Dean and Chapter of Lincoln ba.ve resolved to devote £2,000 to the repairs of their cathedral during the ensuing year. The north east side of the sacred edifice is to receive attention. Last year, £1,300 was expended on the cathedral. Madame Jenny Lind Goldsmidt performed at a mis cellaneous.concert, in Dublin, on Monday evening. The _Freeman' Aurnal says that the appearance of the fair singer created quite a scene, all the vast assemblage seeming to bend forward, whilst peal after peal of welcome greeted her. DEATH OF GENERAL EVELEGH, R.A.—The death of General H. Evelegh, who bore the oldest commission ex tant in the Royal Artillery, took place at his residence at Standon, Newport, Isle of Wight, on Saturday, in- the 87th year of his age.

EXPORTATION OF COFFEE FROM HAYTI.—BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, SEPT. 27.—The Right Honour= able the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade. and Plantations have received, through the Sec retary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a despatch from her Majesty's Consul-General at Port-au-Prince, enclosing a copy of a law recently passed by the government of Hayti, repealing the tax in kind hitherto• levied upon coffee exported, and substituting an export , duty of one piastre and three-quarters per 100 lbs. net, the duty to be payable at the option of the government either in drafts on Paris or in Haytian currency.— Gazette.' A NEW TRICK.—As a lady was on Saturday looking into a . shop-window in Oxford-street, a respectable looking woman stood by her side, and then suddenly moved off, and called a cab, into which she entered. The lady's attention was called to the circumstance by a servant girl, who was passing at the time, and whose was mat to do so, The employment of a cab is, perhaps, a new feature of pocketpicking. INFECTED PORTS.—BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, SEPT. 27.—The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations ved. through the Secretary of State for w of a despatch from her Majesty's COURT AND.

The sam( GERMAN REFORMS. A Berlin letter contains the following : "It appears every day more and more evident that the secondary States will not remain simple spec tators of the German movement, but that they are convinced of the necessity of doing something to satisfy the general wish for a reform calculate). to strengthen the defensive system of Germany. It is well known that the German Constitution tent's not only to the establishment of a central government, but to ,remodel the military institutions, which are very defective, particularly in the petty States. It may be remembered that Prussia has before pointed out that a reform in this particular was indispensable, and that object has been the first to occupy the attention of the secondary States Among the propositions discussed by the Ministers of Bavaria, Saxony, and Wurtemberg, who lately assembled at Munich, are pointed out the following :—ln order to remedy the insufficient instruction in military matters among the officers of the States of the second and third rank, a military academy shall be formed in Southern Germany, probably at Frankfort ; at present, the officers of the petty Northern States mostly receive their instruc tion in the military schools of Prussia. In the next place, in order to strengthen the military power of Ger many, the contingent shall be increased from lj per cent. of the population to 2 per cent. This preposition had been before made, and by other States. Lastly, that the organisation of the army shall be modified so that Wurtemberg and Baden shall form one corps d' armfle, and the Hesses, Nassau, and the kingdom and two Duchies of Saxony another. Hitherto the Bth corps d'armie has comprised, in addition to Wurtem berg and Baden, Grand Ducal Hesse ; the 9th was formed by Electoral Hesse, the kingdom of Saxony, Nassau, and Liuembourg, while the Duchies of Saxony, formed a corps of reserve ; this modification will, how ever, be one of mere form. It is also in contemplation to re-establish the German fleet restored by Austria, and the materials of which were sold by the Diet by public auction." THE AYRSHIRE ELECTION. Sir James Ferguson, of Kilkerran, the Conservative nominee for the representation of the county of Ayr, has issued the following address to the electors : " Gentlemen,—ln compliance with an invitation from some of the most influential of your number, I beg to offer myself as a candidate for the representation of the county in the place of your late member,whom death has so suddenly removed from among us. Little more than two years have passed since I retired from the responsible position for which I now again offer myself—defeated, I readily own, as much by the high standing and reputa tion of my opponent, as by the powerful influence exerted on his behalf. At the general election, some months' since, I did not attempt to obtain a reversal of the decision arrived at after the fair contest of 1857, con ceiving that I had no grounds for expecting any con siderable alteration of public opinion between him, whom I cannot now think of as my rival , and myself. Even now I should have hesitated to embark again in an undertaking . , the repetition of which is beyond the means of a country gentleman to sustain, had not I received such warm and generous assurance of support that I can hardly doubt of a successful issue I hope that I am now so well known to most of you that in a preliminary address a detailed exposition of my political opinions may be unnecessary. As a Conservative, I am opposed to sudden and organic changes in the settled institutions of this country,—to a disturbance of the distri bution of political power with our mixed constitution as arranged. But you are aware, I hope, that I desire present occasion to promote, as far as my influence extends, safe and well considered measures of national progress and social im provement. With regard to the extension of the franchise, the only question of national interest which seems likely immediately to arise, I desire to see that privilege placed within the re?ch of educated industry, but not lowered to the unimproving or irresponsible. I trust that the identity of sentiment expressed upon this great question by Lord Palmerston, the head of the present government, and by some of the most respected of Conservative statesmen, will produce its early settlement upon a safe and constitutional footing ; and I shall rejoice if the bill promised by the present government, being of this tendency, shall be 3 ,Ll_ le fusion at an . early peno 'opinions, believing that we may thus be preserve( those violent changes which would endanger that con stitution under which our freedom has been won and preServel To the consideration of all questions, whether touching our interests at home, in our great dependencies, or in our relations with foreign powers, I shall bring an impartial judgment, and a re- _ wua.. Illlptn muuu by whose 'confidence I have been honoured. I shall loyally support the Government of the Queen, from whatever 1 With r THE LAW AS TO STRIKES Lord St. Leonard's has contributed the following concise summary of the present laws .as to workmen's strikes and combinations : The masters consider the proceedings of the Building les' Unions wholly inconsistent with the law, which framed with a jealous regard to the interests of the working man. The A c t o f P ar li amen t (6 G eo. IV . , ca p. 129) which repealed all the former laws relative to the combination of workmen, states that combinations in terfering with the free employment of capital and labour are injurious to trade and commerce, dangerous to the tranquillity of the country, and especially to the in terests of all who are concerned in them. The object of the act is then declared to be t o ma k e prov i s i on as well for the security . and personal freedo m o f i n di v id ua l workmen in the dispos al of their skill an d l a b our, as for the security of property and persons of masters and employers. " The Act then makes the following offences punish able by imprisonment not exceeding three months, with or without hard labour, viz. :—Where any person shall, by violence to the person or property, or by threats, or by intimidation, or by molesting, or in any way ob structing another,— " 1. Force or endeavour to force any journeyman, manufacturer, or workman, or other person to depart from his hiring, employment, or work, or to r eturn his work before it is finished ; • 2. Or prevent, or endeavour to prevent, any jour neyman, manufacturer, workman, or other person not being hired or employed, from hiring himself to, or from accepting, work or employment from any person or persons; " 3. Or for the purpose of forcing or inducing any other person to b2long to any club or association, or to contribute to any common fund, or to pay any fine or penalty, or on account of his not belonging to any club or association, or not having contributed or having refused to contribute to any common fund ; or to pay any fine or penalty; or on account of his not havin€ , complied, or his refusing to comply with any rules, orders, resolu tions, or regulations made to obtain an advance or to , reduce the rate of wages, or to lessen or alter the hours of working, or to decrease or alter the quantity of work,, or to regulate the mode of carrying on any manufacture, trade, or business, or the management thereof; "4. Or shall force or endeavour to force any manu facturer or person carrying on any trade or business to make any alterations in his mode of regulating, manag ing, or carrying on such trade, manufacture, or business, or to limit his number of apprentices or the number or description of his journeymen, workmen, or servants." But the Act provides— " 1. That any persons may meet together for the sole purpose of consulting upon and determining the rate of wages or prices upon which the persons present at such meeting, or any of them, shall require or demand for his or their work, or the hours or time for which he or they shall work in any manufacture, trade, or business; or may enter into any agreement, verbal or written, among themselves for the parposes of fixing the rate of wages or prices which the parties entering into such agreement, or any of them, shall require or demand for his or their work, or the hour or time for which he or they will work in any manufacture, trade, or business." This relates to the men. "2. The like powers are conferred upon the master in regard to consulting upon and fixing the rate of wages or price, and the hours or time of working— each class, masters and men, are subject to the same law. "By a later Act, 22nd Victoria, cap. 34, passed to pro tect the working man, it is provided that no one, whether in actual employment or not, shall by reason merely of his entering into any agreement with any workmen, or other person or persons, for the purpose of fixing, or endeavouring to fix the rate of wages or remuneration at which they,_ _or any of them, shall work, or by reason merely of his endeavouring peaceably, and in a reasonable manner, and without threats or intimidation, direct or in direct, to persuade others to cease or abstain from work, in order to obtain the rate of wages or the altered hours of labour so fixed or agreed upon, shall be deemed or taken to be guilty of ' molestation or obstruction' within be subject to prosecution or indictment for conspiracy. But it is provided that nothing contained in tins later act shall authorise any workman to break or depart from. any contract, or authorise any attempt to induce any workman to break or depart from any contract." 2parting *ltcifigt NEWMARKET RACES ;WEDNESDAY HANDICAP SWEEPSTAKES Parmesin ANDICAP Gamester Sir Hercu ST.

A SOLDIER ON THE 'PEIHO MASSACRE.—A York shire soldier, engaged in the late affair on the Peiho, writes home to his friends at Wortley, as follows : " Peiho River, July 3, 1859.—Dear Brothers and Sisters,--I write these few lixes, hoping they will find you well, as they leave me at present, thank God for that.

RUSSIA:- FIRE AT CONSTANTINOPLE. — Constantinople journals of the 14th state that a dreadful fire had destroyed upwards of 1,000 houses in the Turkish nnrtifal Tt lyrnlce (nit in the nuarter of Hass-Kepi, built like an amphitheatre, on the side of a hill, and inhabited by 30,000 Jews, and from the houses being of wood, the flames spread with the most frightful rapidity, and in a very shorttime upwards of 60 habitations were destroyed. The fire was then, most persons thought, got under, but on the next day it again burst out afresh, and very nearly 1,000 houses more were reduced to ashes. The inhabitants were seen running half naked through the streets, seeking shelter, and more than 600 families, who lost all they possessed, are encamped on the hill. The Sultan ordered a number of military tents to be swplied to afford them temporary shelter. A CASE FOR THE COURT OF DIVORCE.—David Wheatley, dyer, of Brindle Heath, Pendleton, was •on Monday charged at the Town-hall, &Mord, with assault ing his wife on Saturday last. Mrs. Wheatley said, that on Saturday she, in company with her sister, was following the remains of her father to the grave. As they were re turning, her husband came up, beastly drunk, and threw brickbats at her. They then went home, and he followed, and broke the pots and other things in the house. He never worked more than a fortnight at onc3, and then spent all the money he earned in drink. He had pledged her father's Bible and other things to obtain drink. The prisoner made an attempt to show that, although the complainant had lived with him twenty-six years as his wife, they had not been legally married. Mr. Trafford said that he should consider her as his wife, and taking into consideration the fact that he had only come out of prison last Christmas from a three months' imprisonment for assaulting her, and that this was one of the most cruel, he irtlesi cases that bad ever come before him, he should seed him to prison for six months. SIR W. G. ARMSTRONG'S HYDRAULIC MACHINERY AT SWANSEA.—New docks were opened at Swansea on Friday, the whole extent of which, as well as the river float, is furnished with • Sir William Armstrong's hydraulic apparatus, which opens the gates, swings the bridges, works the sluices, lifts the hoists, and goes through all manner of operations within the compass of a two-year old baby and a dozen Heuuleses., The extent of pipes is a mile and a half, and the pressure upon them is 7001 b. to the spare inch. The hydraulic power is available for any purpose for which it may be required at any point throughout the entire length of the pipes. Tae dock gates were opened by Miss Talbot, the daughter of the Lord-Lieutenant, not, figuratively, as is usu illy the case with ceremonial " op ‘nings" of this kind, but, thanks to the invention of Sir Armstrong, literally opened by the delicately-gloved ha id of a young lady of eighteen. As she stood on a slightly raised platform, and grasping the ca stain b oas t i ng for the nonce a silver handle, bent it away film her with little more effort than she would have put into the opening of the door of her boudoir, the giant pulleys flew round, the chains ra ttl e d , and presently the massive gates swung slowly back on their hinges, obedient to the force which the light touch a dozen yards off had loosed upon them. A more strikinroof of the marvellous power of Sir W. Armstrong's apparatus could scarcely ba furnished, our intercourse with o' should as little as possible interfere with their internal affairs ; and that, while we wish to see them in posses sion of the freedom which we enjoy, we should suffer each to make an independent choice of the form of lvernr - , t most consonant with its desires and ciro• go, stances. Let me remind those—ard I venture to be lieve they are numerous—who desire my success, that victory only attends unanimity, determination, and per severance ; but with these it is within our reach. You may rely upon it I shall give every elector an opportu nity of recordin g his vote at the poll. "As an indepen dent man, I ask for independent votes and support; and if successful, as I am confident I may be, my best exertions shall not be wanting tojustify your choice." ---♦-- THE WINDSOR RAFFAELLE DRAWlNGS. —Photographs of the original drawings by Raffaelle in the Royal Library at IVindsor, have been recently taken at the expense of the Prince Consort, and the negatives pre sented to the Science and Art Department of the Com mittee of Council on Education, from which impres - sions will be supplied to Schools of Art and the public generally at the cost of paper and printing. TIME AND PHOTOGRAPHY. —We have heard it affirmed that a fly is a ,medium-sized object amongst living beings—meaning that there are objects as much smaller than a fly as an elephant or a whale is larger, and this we :believe to be true. But what shall we say to a second in respect to photographic time of action ? Taking six hours as the maximum time of exposure, we can show differences in times of exposure, and variations in active action on the other side of a second of time, far exceeding anything ever dreamed of in the ordi nary practice of photography. In taking photographs i o n s f ta rapidly-movingnce— we have o b b e j e e n e ts obliged— the t w o a vj judge s o d ge f o t f h t e h e s e p a r , p fo4 exposure requisite to bring out the half-tints, and esti mate differences of time varying between the 1-50th and the 1-120th of a second. Exposures like these are, however, enormous, when compared nith the time occu pied in other photographic experiments. Thus, in solar photography, according to experiments of Mr. Waterhouse, an image was impressed in a space of time no longer than 1-9000th part of a second, even when a slow photographic process was used; aid, when wet collodion was employed. one-third of the above time, or 1-27000th of a second, was all that was needed. This duration, however, inconceivably short as it appears, will be seen to be a tolerable length, when we try to bring the mind to appreciate the rapidity with which Mr. Talbot performed his crucial experiment at the Royal Institution, where he pho tographed a rapidly-revolving wheel , illuminated by 'one single discharge of an electric battery. To a casual observer or reader of this experiment, the wonderful part appears to be that the wheel appeared perfectly sharp and stationary in the photogiaph, although, in reality, it was being rotated with as great a velocity as multiplying wheels could communicate to it. A little further consideration will, however, show that the time occupied in the revolution of the wheel was as a planetary cycle when compared with the ti m e of dura he I tion of the illuminating spark, which, according, to t s most beautiful and trustworthy exper i men ts of rofessor Wheatstone, only occupied the millionth part of a second in its duratiou.—Photographic News.
