CRYSTAL PALACR.—AII the great fountains will
be displayed on Monday afternoon, and Mr. Conwell will
also ascend in his mammoth balloon. It being the fall
harvest moon a second display of the terrace fountains will
be given at half-put seven o'clock, until which time the
pesos will be open for admission.
SINGULAR PugNOMENCON.—A somewhat unusual
incident occurred on Wednesday in the neighbourhood of
Croy Station, on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. A
number of workmen were engaged boring for minerals, and
when they reached the coal seam a stream of gas named
from the bore, which, on being lighted, burned to a height
of nearly nine feet. The supply of gas was so abundant
that it continued burning throughout the day.—Edinburg4
Courant.

Captain Miller alias Captain Hamilton, was
brought before the Cork magistrates on Wednesday, charged
with stealing • gold watch and other things from ltilV
aLonghton, of &nirtymon. County Clare, whom he had en-
gaged in Limerick as his "overseer." The latter, a student
just out of Maynootb, who had resolved to devote himself
to secular pursuits, stated in his evidenoe that the captain
told him he had 4,000 slaves, and had just purchased •
vessel, " to run the blockade," from the Messrs. Russell,
for 8,000/. The prisoner was oommitted for trial.
ROYAL HORTICULTIIIIAL SOCIETY.—At an ordi-
nary general meeting of this society, held yesterday at
South Kensington, S. Holmes Godson, Eel., in the chair,
the following, amongst other candidates, were elected fel-
lows, viz. :—The Hoe. Spencer Lytteltos, Major-General
Duen Alderman Challis: ks

WiI6IOIIBIIILLO lI'S SPECTACLE-CAUL—A coun-
sellor, renowned for the art of his pleadinF, had a trick of
rubbing his spectacle-case while addressing a jury. A
foolish attorney who had confided a brief to him thought
this action ludicrous, and likely to impair the effect of the
pathetic appeals which the nature of the snit admitted.
Accordingly, he watched for a sly opportunity, and stole
away the spectacle-case. For the first time in his life, the
counsellor's tongue faltered—his mind missed the bodily I
track with which it had long associated its opastions ; he
became confused, embarreseed—he stammered, blundered,
and boggled--lot all the threads of his brief, and was about .
to at dove, self-defeated, when the 000scienceetricken
attorney entered the specesclecase. Straightway, with the
first touch of the (moiler talisman, the mind recovered its
self-possession, the memory its clearness, the tongue its
fluency ; and as, again and again, the lawyer fondly rubbed
the spectacle-case, argument after argument flew forth like
the birds from a conjuror's box. And the jury, to whom a
few minutes before the case seemed hopeless, were shamed
into unanimous conviction of its justice. Such is the force
of habit. Such the sympathy between mental and bodily
associations. Every nagiciiiin needs his wand ; and perhaps
every man of genius lass—his speciacle-oste.—Sir E. B.
Lytton in Blackwoo‘s litazine for September.

Polar() Buonr.—We regret to announce that
the potato blight has committed Ha ravages is our
and to such an extent that some Grope are sauce=
digging ; and it is feared that, generally speaking, three-
fifths of the potatos will prove diseased. From personal
inquiries we learn that the blight has with equal severity
visited the potato crops in the villages of Ockbam, the
Honrieys, and the Clandoes. The disease seems to have
made its appearance with the rains about the 15th and 18th
ultimo.— Wed Surrey Tilted.

From Devon New (kipper Mine, Captain P. Rambo
I writes (Sept. 3) :—" The component parts of the lode to the
east of cresscourse at the 88 are in the highest degree bi-
dioative to the production c 4 large quantities of copper ma.
In consequence of the favourable dip of the ore ground from
tbs 78 to the 88, and below this level, there will be no occa-
sion to drive east at the 100 fathoms 15 fathoms to mese
with the productive ground, but by crosscutting north from
shaft the productive ground me be reached ; but notwith-
standing such is the cane, I consider it important that we
should drive east at the 100 fathoms 15 fathoms to ister-
sect the crosscourse with all speed in order to commanicete
at the extreme point of the driving the 88 with the latter
level. This can be done by putting up • one from the 100,
or sinking a wine from the 88, which will also afford addi-
tional ventilation."

the ground at the end of the present week about 110 ton
of slate and slab finished, fit for the market. lam happy
to my that the quarry looks well, and beyond my, expecta-
tions, and will douWees turn out slate and flooring slabs
in greater abundance, for the deeper we go the better sad
more solid it becomes."
