A court-martial assembled on boJxti the nag-".:p

-ham Clinton, a son of the late Luke of Noe, astir, and
borne on the books of Her Majesty's ship hdgitr, on the
chugs of desertion and of having broken his parole. The

Captains S. Osbarn, C. 8., Sir F. T.

LENOIX's ENGIN& —This engiue, which ob-
tained a 'Air.. medal at the Exhibition of 13-.31, is now
extuteted at 40, Cranbourn-street, with a view to its general
introduction in Logien.' in all cues where a small and in.
terwittent supply of herchanioal motive power is roprred.
The novelty is the use of gas, atmospheric air, end the
electric batter, in combination, in lieu of steam, es the
generator of the motive power. The gas is Lod on from
the ordinary house pipe, and introduced into the cylind.r of
the engine through two minute interstices. seal is then met
by the electn: spark which ignites it. when as a result
the atmospheric air iu the cylinder is expended.
The motive power is thus created, and the other details of
the invention are the same as in the ordinary eat. am engine.
The inventors do not construct their engines of more than
three horse power, and the advantages they claim for them
are their portability, safety, cleanlinees, and applicability to
purposes where the erection of a steam eogiee with its ap..
purtenances would be Qui of the question. The gas engice
is, it appears, already in very general see in the Loa:re
Hotel, and other large establish:fleets in Pena, where it is
employed in working the hydraulic lifts, making ice.,
cleaning shoes, met for various other purpose, where bunion
labour bad previously been employed.'
SINDULAIi Lys.. AND REOOVERY OF A PUlisE OF
COLD.—A very remarkable instance of the logs and pert
recovery of a purse of gold has just occurred at the ell lase
of Stavelee, about four miles from linaresboro'. The side
of Mr. Jofie Fryer, ,farmer residing near the village, placed
a purse, containing .12/. 10s. in gold, inside of a sack of oats
in one of the Ism: buildings, thinking it would be safer
there than if left le the house during thew alwence at I: tit re.-
borough market. A sack of mita was sent a day or two
afterwards to erica at Mr. Poppletmo's mill, at Staveler.
The ostmeel was returned in due course to Mr. Fryer's, 333.4
whilst one of the invents was taking some out of the Wick,
he was much surprised to find two sovereigns. Ile could
not account for the unexpected discovery of gold amongst
the oatmeal, until be eacertaieed from inquiry that the
sack oestaieing the purse mad gold WAS the one that had
been sent to the mill. Oo going to Mr. l'oppleton't, no-
thing was known of the matter bet and the fart of its
being noticed that the oatmeal was much worse to *rind
than usual. A search was, however, at mice made in a
waste tub in the mill, the carteuts of which are usually
given to pigs. There nine sovereigns were found, sod, lie.
those in the oatmeal, they bad undergoes the process of
grinding, and were as large ea a halfpenny piece. The
passe, containing 17 sovereigns, was found uninjured. The
remainder of the motley wee sot found, but ft may yet be re-
covered, as there can be little doubt that it all passed
through the mill.—Leeds MeTeury.
