PRESERVATION OF I.IIIIMOIIIII IN HUILUINGs.—
A memoir on this subject was laid by U. Aisle Roches, be-
fore the French Institute, some time since. If we consider
the chemical composition of the different sorts of limestone of
which many of the oldest mild finest buildings on the globe
are constructed, we shall gad, that theft have resisted beet
the ieguence of the atmosphere and time which contais
most of silica in a state of chemical combination ; while, on
the other bend, those where this substente is either wholly
deficient, or only existing 1.11 a state of meehanical admix-
ture have 13%45t suffered. According to these premises,
itochaolll. has sought after an expedient to remedy this
inconvenience, both with monuments now existing, as well
as those which are already in a state of incipient decay.
li. It. thinks th..t this can be achieved by placing silica se
in enotmt with the lime, that a hard, compact, and nesiiky
indestructible compound of silicate of lime is produced.
The I.eility which soluble silicates will combine with
the lien, f moasmental materials, sad convert even the
softest reek in the most emnpact silicate of lime, will, as is
asserted, allow still operation to he carried or, in many
eases, in loco. The same sulamnee may be used for InsiM•
lags exposed to she air, as wed as for statues, inscriptions,
via —the silicate of soda, attainable at a cheap rate.
It has been aszertained that the prey, brown, or even black
colour, which limestone exposed for a long lapse of time
assumes nudes. the climate of Parr, (Liindou i), consists
partly of the cobweb of au imperceptibly small insect, partly
of a teetetatinn of eryptnoraic plants, equally minute. by
the presenee of these bodies, as..isture eau better adhere to
sad effect the lime. The pnvention of this decay his °ems-
OM Jassy arehiteets and chemist, but the specimens laid
by N. Mochas before the Institute ere said to give better
waaiss for the 01NC441 Id his method thou some other
OW& belassier.

Ix RL BALLS ANU HITCRMAN.

The bankruprs had been extensively engaged in the
atraw•plait trade, having establishments in Adile-street,
London, at Bristol, and at Birmingham. This was the
elamination melting; but the accounts, which are of a
very vulunsiuuus character, had not yet been filed. Frem
I the preiiminary statement of the accountants, it appears
that the liabilities of the bankrupts are between 16,00.../.
and 20.0001., and the assets are estimated at between 0,0001.
nod 7,0001. . .

.ta adjournment was ordered for a month.
IN HE HI:TLAINOC—FAILVAS OF AN EXTENSIN E
CO:47ILACTUR.

A petition flask g been filed in this court against Thomas
Hutchings, of No. 10, Park-street, Westminster; of
Ormsby, Lincolnshire; end of Amston, Yorkshire, rail-
way contractor, contractor for public work., stone-merchant,
and ship-owner, he was this day adjudicated bankrupt.
Ile appeared, and surrendered to the adjudication. His
debts arc between 40,0001. and 70,0001. ; it is thought that
the assets, if wail realised, will yield not LT short of 20s.
in the pound. The brnitrupt was the contractor for the
Grimsby D .cks, also for the Southampton Water Works,
the Netherlands Land lnclosurc, the Morayshire Railway,
and other extensive undertakings. The petitioning credi-
tor is a gentleman of Hull to whom the bankrupt is in•
debted shoat 4,0001. The petition has been balloted to
Mr. Commissioner Fang's court ; Mr. Cannon has been ap-
pointed oftie:al assignee; and Messrs. Liaklater ■re the so-
licitors under the bar kruptey. The first meeting, for the
proof of deb!, and choice of assignees, takes place on the
10th September.
Is It Pk:GLIB.

This was the lut examination meeting in the case of W
Pegler, Doric-dealer and job•easster, of James-street, Pad-
dington. His debts were 1,5001. ; assets of trifling amount
not sufficient to yield any dividend. His trade receipts,
111111 bean 1,2961. ; trade expenses, 1,5431.; domestic ditto,
7201.; losses, 5.1111.
Mr.G liam opposed for the assignees.
The bankrupt was 'aim:lined, end admitted that he had
executed a bill of sale shout six months before the bank-
ruptcy, under which all hie property had been taken. He
had been anal. bankrupt by a person named Shaw, to wbo•n
he owed 561. for money borrowed. His address was No.
2, Wes:-s•n ,t, King's-cross. Did not know that that was
a cimmon b er•lo use tap. Did not know that Shaw was
an attorney's desk. He held an I 0 U (or the debt.
Mr. Hughes supported the bankrupt.
His Honour directed an adjournment, in order that the
validity °tam bill of sale might be inquired into.
