A New Amuse bLimpez.—Some time ago the
Academy of Sciences requested M. Babinet to report on
a system of aeronautics invented by M. de Louvre. 11.
Babinet obeyed, and pronounced in favour of the invert.
Since then, however, the Academy has appointed*
commission to examine the system, which course would
almost seem to be a disapproval of:M. Babinet's conclu.
sion. In his report, which the Academy has thought
proper not to publish, M. Babinet says :—" The question
before us is not whether it be possible to support
and move • body in the air, but whether the moving
power be well adapted to the work to be done, and this
is the case with M. de Louvries system. In his ap
pirates, an inclined plane of sufficient surface, making a
very small angle with the horizon, is drawn horizontally
by a motive power. Thus we get • vertical force counter
balancing the effect of gravity, and a horizontal one,
measuring the effort of traction required. The motive
power is here represented by a hollow cylinder, which
receives at the same time • quantity of Mr and a props,
tion of highly inflammable gas derived from some cola.
tile hydrocarburet, such is benzine or petroleum.
This cylinder acts like a rocket : it has a small orifice at
one end and is closed at the other, where the re-
sistance offered to the small explosion of the mixture
generates a recoil. Of these explosions there are
from 30 to 40 per minute, and the recoil is therefore
repeated as many times, and each time the cylinder causes
the vessel toad ranee." The inclined plane spoken of by
M. Babinet is a sort of kite, ten metres long, made of
wire gauze, the interstices of which are filled up with
gotta perch& ; the vessel carrying the aeronaut is made of
thin sheet copper, and is seven metres in length; it is pro.
vided with • reservoir of benzine or petroleum at each
extremity. The explosion of the air and benzine meeting
in the cylinder is determiped by an electric spark, as in
Lenoir's well-known machine. The other coatrivanoes are,
as usual, calculated to direct the vehicle, torero in the air,
or land without a shock.—Odiriarei.
DRCREARE IN EMIGRATION ?ROM LIVERPOOL.—
Yesterday the government emigration officials at Liver-
pool completed their returns for the month of June, and
the quarter ending June 30. The total number of pee
'gagers sailing in vessels under the act last month was
10,638, of whom 544 were cabin and 10094 steerage. Of
the latter 3,199 were English, 138 Scotch, 3.827 Irish. and
2,930 from other countries. To the United States there
sailed 26 ships with 9,084 paseenres, of whom 340 were
cabin and 18,744 steerage. Of the latter 2,389 were
English, 136 Scotch, 3,453 Irish, and 2,566 from other
countries. To Canada there were 4 ships, containing
1,544 passengers, of whom 204 were cabin ana11,3.10 steerage.
Of the steerage, 610 were English, 2 Scotch, 371 Irish,
7,364 from other countries. Of " short ships" there
were 23, with 912 passengers. To the Cnited States there
sailed 6 ships, with 603 passengers ; 2 to Victoria, with
83 passengers ; I to Prince Edward'. Island, with 10 pas-
sengers ; 1 to Queensland, with 44 passengen ; 2to the
West Indies, with 14 passengers ; 7to South America.
with 132 passengers ; 3 to Africa, with 20 passengers ; and
Ito China, with 6 passengers. During the quarter euduig
June 30 the number of passengers that left Liverpool was
40,834 under the act, and not under the act 2,2*.t4, making
• total of 43,067, which, when compared with the cor-
responding quarter of last year, when there sailed 49.166
pa angers, shows • decrease in the quarter just ended of
6,099.

DEATHS FROM EATING UNWHOLESOME FISH.—
Yesterday, Mr. Davey, deputy coroner for the borough of
Liverpool, held inquests upon the bodies of two working
men, named James I:raily and Thomas Callaghan, who died
suddenly. It appeared from the evidence adduced that ma
Friday night the deceased had partaken of pickled her•
rings at supper, and soon afterwards were seized with
violent vomiting and purging, accompanied by most ex•
cruciating pain to the stomach and abdorti.- The met
