The site of the ancient 'Oyster gate' was identified by cart-loads of oyster shells being found on the spot. This place had been hid in the reign of Elizabeth, by build ing what Stowe calls the artificial f order or engine for increasing the supply of Thames water to the metro polis, and which was succeeded by the late Water works. In digging at the greatest depth on this site, there was turned up part of a leathern sandal,* sin gularly looped on the sides, which had been apparently lost in the mud ; also some fragments of Roman pot tery, and a few coins.

Another improvement, which, in point of the additional power gained, was more important than the parallel motion, and which indeed pre ceded it in point of time, was the ' Double-acting Engine,' in which steam was introduced to act expansively on each side of the piston in the en gine.

Probably the first of the craft to settle here was happy in the possession of an old wooden double-pull press, and, with the balls with which he bedaubed his forme, produced broadsides which were thought to be marvels of the age. We now have printing machines of automatic construction — self-feeders, contrived so as to help themselves to plain sheets of paper at one end and deliver them at the other, printed, and that without any manual labour whatever, save in occasional superintendence. The double-pull press has been superseded by printing machines propelled by steam, gas, or water-power ; the business, which once could not keep one press going, has now so multiplied as to require the services of some forty presses and machines ; the one compositor has 400 successors in the various departments of the business ; and the one " devil " has developed into " devils " innumerable- The works of Messrs. Hazell, Watson and Viney, Limited, are amongst the esta blishments of the town where industrial occupations are largely represented, as, directly and indirectly, that firm alone gives employment to no less than 350 resident artizans.

An instrument with such an extraordinary range of focus is quite a novelty amongst optical apparatus , and is as useful as it is new.

It has been employed in the latter character in observing the finely graduated scales of the measuring apparatus, and is capable as a telescope, according to Father Secchi, of showing the belts and the satellites of Jupiter. An instrument with such an extraordinary range of focus is quite a novelty amongst optical apparatus , and is as useful as it is new. The commencement of this great scientific undertaking, which it will probably take years to accomplish, and which will in all likelihood embrace the triangulation of all Southern Italy, seems to have been carried on in a manner worthy of the great object in view.

as he halted, the hum within suddenly stopped, a hubbub arose, followed by a scramble and a cry, and out darted with the speed of lightning a tall, brown, sturdy, white-haired young varlet, who, shooting past Arthur with the speed of a locomotive , dashed across the common and adja cent field, cleared an intervening fence, and plunged into the wood.

Arthur stopped to listen for an instant, half thinking he would go in and look at the little rosy sunburnt faces and bright eyes, and ask Mr. Cramby who were his best boys and girls for the week, when lo! as he halted, the hum within suddenly stopped, a hubbub arose, followed by a scramble and a cry, and out darted with the speed of lightning a tall, brown, sturdy, white-haired young varlet, who, shooting past Arthur with the speed of a locomotive , dashed across the common and adja cent field, cleared an intervening fence, and plunged into the wood.

The Sydney and Suburban Tramway lines are likewise under the direction and control of the Railway Commissioners. They are to a large extent street railways worked by steam motors , and it is remark able that with so many gradients, such sharp curves, and crowded streets there are so few accidents. Two lines, however, are worked upon the cable system and one by electricity.

Had a high-pressure engine on board a vast Atlantic steamer become desirous of taking a little fresh air, and mounted for that purpose amidst the shrouds and blocks of the rigging whilst it continued to labour, the scene could not have been more astounding.

Down — down he kept going; but now it was in comparative darkness — in a region of beams and pullies, of huge wheels and mighty ropes, all in motion around him, and threatening every instant to entangle him in their complicated movements and tear him limb from limb. Had a high-pressure engine on board a vast Atlantic steamer become desirous of taking a little fresh air, and mounted for that purpose amidst the shrouds and blocks of the rigging whilst it continued to labour, the scene could not have been more astounding. Once he had a faint vision of some feminine creation in book-muslin and silk tights who was pre paring to ascend, and whom he perceived by the dim light of an oil-lamp as he went down ; but his mind was in such a state of bouleversement that he was not certain whether he gazed at substance or the image of one of the beauties above still left upon the bewildered retina, as he had seen motes in the sunbeams after he had shut his eyes — small things that danced in insolent hilarity before his pupils, but flew off nowhere the instant he attempted to direct his gaze towards them.

For as their sup plies of water were taken from the Flethe — the half ditches, half canals, which intersected this part of the city — and as the oil and other inflammable hquids stored in the houses burst their weak bonds when they became heated, and ran into these very courses, so were they drawn up with the water, and pumped by the engines into the flames, or on to the houses still untouched and which the firemen were labouring to save.

Indeed, in many cases, they were unconsciously adding fuel to the flames in their endeavours to extinguish them. For as their sup plies of water were taken from the Flethe — the half ditches, half canals, which intersected this part of the city — and as the oil and other inflammable hquids stored in the houses burst their weak bonds when they became heated, and ran into these very courses, so were they drawn up with the water, and pumped by the engines into the flames, or on to the houses still untouched and which the firemen were labouring to save. Thus all their toil seemed worse than useless.

Then again a fierce irritation supported her. She had been sacrificed to the cold heartless pride that had counted her happiness and her misery for nothing ; she had been refused to the man she lov.ed, and promised to a stranger, as if she had been a slave, a machine , or a piece of merchandise. But now, when the proud Spaniard would arrive and claim his bride, what would her stUl prouder father answer ?
