Mn. WIIISITAW'S TELEGItATIIIIC INVENTIONS.—
Y, stcrdsy a I..rge number of gentlemen iota", sited in meche-
Weal science were afforded a ' private view," at the offices
of Mr. Whishaw, Gray's-inn•square, of a number of inven-
tions fur facilitating verbal communication. Among the
most remarkable were several hydraulic telegraphs, all in
working order, and performing their functions in a very
satisfactory manner. In the original invention the medium
of indication was water in small columns, which
at each end descended in perpendicular glass
tubes, after the fashion of the mercury in a thermometer.
This system being somewhat defective' on account of the
°sedation to which the water in the tube was subject, a
brass float has been supplied in the new model to act on the
top of the fluid in each tube. There bare the effect of indi-
c sting the desired point with great et lane's. The tube can
be laid down to any length, and its cost is stated
to be about 801. per mile. The " tu.iformity of
time telegraph" also claims attention. It is proposed to
fix one of these machines cfexactly similar chorea. r at
either end of the line of comir unication. By means of elec-
tricity the hand of one is pointed et the required code or
signal, and at the same instant the corresponding hand at
the other end of the line indicates the same point. It should
be observed that the success of the operation depends upon the
two machines being kept precisely to the same time, and for
this purpose Mr. Whistle* has adopted a very ingeoir,us in
stremeut, which appears to answer the purpose very well.
"The Telekouphenon," another of the inventions exhi-
hibited, is a sub-way telegraph. If laid down under earth
or water for three-quarters of a mile, it is stated that a
person speaking at one end can be distinctly heard
at the other. There is also another form of
the same invention, for above-ground communica-
tions. The pipe in this ins.ance is composed of
gums percha, and through it the lowest whisper
can be heard for about three-quarters of a mile.
Among other means of communication exhibited may be
mentioned the Telegoigraph," a mechanical telegraph, with
a rotary motion, which, like the other pp cimenP, appears
likely to answer most of the purposes for which it is planned.
Should these novelties practically fulfil the objects they are
designed to accomplish Were is little doubt but they will
meet with public favour.

COMMERCIAL er MARKETS.
MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'Clock—The City has been andcontinues in a
Istate of much agitation in consequence of the alarming
!nature of the intelligence from Paris. Very letters,
not more, it is said, than twelve or thirteen, have
been received from Paris by the morning mail, from
which it is interred, not that the mail was
stopped, or the railway station invaded, but that,
from the fighting and confusion, merchants and others
were unable to reach the Post-office to pout their cor- j
respondence.
As might be expected, the funds were somewhat
afft cted by these extraordinary occurrences. Consols
declined to nearly 83, or hill per cent. below the
closing quotations of yesterday. They have slightly
recovered since, and are now 831 buyers fur the open-
ing. Reduced Threes are 835 to I. Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents., 841 to 1. Exchequer Bills,
38s. to 41s. premium.
The foreign market is dull and neglected, with
quotations nominally as before, except for Mexican,
which have fallen to 131 to 161, notwithstand-
ing the positive news received this morning of the rati-
fication of the treaty of peace with the United States.
