THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.
Charles Mayeoek, ik very respectable-looking young man,
who has been for some years iu the service of Messrs. Four-
drinier and Co., wholesale stationers, in Sherborne-lane,
was brought before Alderman Carden, who presided
in the absence of the Lord Mayor, in custody of Youlger,
the detective officer, charged with embezzliog money to a
considerable amount, the property of his employers.
Mr. Richardson conducted the prosecution.
The case was only partially gono into, but it appeared
that the prisoner had for several years been in the service
of the prosecutors, who placed great confidence in hint.
Hie duty was to collect accounts belonging to the
firm, and hand over the money to the cashier, but, in con-
sequence of something that occurred, his honesty was sus-
pected, and the prisoner was questioned, when be at once
admitted that he had embezzled various sums of money and
appropriated them to his own use. The officer was then
sent for, and on his telling the prisoner that he must take
him into custody upon the charge of robbing his employers,
he burst into tears and said, "This is the bitterest day of
my life—drink and betting have brought one to this." The
only case that was gone into against the prisoner was that
of one of Messrs. Fuurdrinier's customers, named Palmer,
who had paid the priaoner a sum of il. odd on account
of his employers, and for which he had not accounted to
them.
The prisoner, who appeared in great mental distress,
was remanded.

LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5,

Ws announced the other day the simultaneous
accession of four junior members of the University
of Oxford to the Church of Rome. A fifth had
preceded them a short time before ; and nobody
at Oxford, as we understand, would be much
surprised to hear that their example had been fol-
lowed by a great many more. If these were ordi-
nary and spontaneous conversions we should not
think it necessary to say anything more about the
matter. The phenomenon which thirty years ago
was so startling and exasperating has by this time
become tolerably familiar, and our religious philo-
sophy is cumpoterit to render an account of it,
without assuming either the truth of Roman
Catholicism ou the one hand or the depravity of
the converts on the other. But without pretending
to be acquainted with the history of any
individual ease, we may say in general that con-
versions to the Church of Rome among the junior
members of the University of Oxford are not ordi-
nary, nor essentially spontaneous ; and that this
secession suggests some observations of a special
kind.

Active propagandism on an extensive scale is
notoriously going on among the Oxford under-
graduates, Those who carry it on are not Roman
Catholic emissaries, nor men who intend to make
converts to Rome, but members of the University
of High Church and Ritualistic opinions, whose
aim, as may be gathered from the writings of their
leaders, is to imbue their proselytes with the whole
circleuf Roman doctrine, and to prepare them to take
part in a movement which has for its general object
the reversal of the Reformation, the restoration
of priestly dominion, with all the tenets and prac-
tices on which it is based, and an ultimate re-
union with the Papacy, and perhaps at the same
time with the Greek Church, on terms favourable
to the Anglican priesthood. To gain recruits, if
we are rightly informed, no art of proselytism is
spared. The allurements of personal influence
are used to the uttermost. Religious brother-

AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA.
VIENNA, Nov. 4.

Baron von Beust, the new Minister for Foreign
Affairs, has addressed a circular despatch to the
Austrian representatives abroad, in which he de-
clares that he considered himself to have separated
from his political antecedent& from the day on
which, in accordance with the Imperial will, he
became an Austrian. In his new position he will
bear with him nothing but the testimony of the
regard of the deeply honoured Prince whom he is
conscious of having served with zeal and fidelity.
"At the commencement of my new career,"
especially, proceeds Baron von Beust, "it would be
imputing a strange forgetfulness of my duties to
hold me capable of entering upon them with any
feelings of partiality or prejudice, from which
I feel myself to be entirely free." The ministerial
circular instructs the Austrian foreign representa-
tives to incidentally communicate these views to
the governments to which they are accredited
during any conversations in which the subject
sighs be introtltioed. Baron von Beust declares
in conclusion that the Imperial government will
remain faithful to the peaceful and conciliatory
policy it has at all times pursued, but that if the
unfortunate issue of the late war imposes that
attitude upon the country as a necessity, the same
reason renders it more than ever a duty on the cart
of the government to jealously uphold the dignity
of the empire.

THE HUNGARIAN DIET.
VIENNA, Nov. 3, Evcrnco.

The Evening Post (evening edition of the official
Vienna Gazette) contains an article upon Hungary,
which points out the necessity for the immediate
resumption of the negotiations between the govern-
ment and the Hungarian Diet for a common treat-
ment of affairs common to Hungary and the rest of
the empire. The article proceeds to declare that I
the proposals on the subject drawn up by the com-
mittee upon common affairs form a point of de-
parture, and the basis for the understanding so
greatly to be desired. The Evening Post considers
it to be the first duty of the government to coin-
municate its views to the Diet with the utmost
candour, in order that the principle which was
recognised in the report of the coninuttee relative
to securing the unity of the empire may, on the
resumption of the negotiations, be consistently
adopted by all parties, and practically carried into
I effect. _

corated for their reception.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A GENTLEMAN

IN AN WINIBUS.

INQUEST.--tTHIS DAY.).

This afternoon an inquest was held at the
Duchess of York tavern, York-street, Kingsland-road, by
Mr. Richards, deputy-coroner, respecting the death, in an
omnibus, of Mr. Robert Webster, aged 65 years.
Mr. Joseph Johnson, 14, Northampton-grove Balls-
pond, son-in-law of the deceased, said that the deceased
was district manager of the Albion Life Insurance Com-
pany. He lived in the same house as witness. lie left
home in good health last Friday morning to go to his
office. . .

John Gladwin, conductor of a Stoke Newington Omni•
bus, No. 7,434,saidthaton Friday last, a little after 11
o'clock, while proceeding along the Kingsland•road
towards the Bank, deceased hailed him. several
persons at the same time—two ladies and a gentleman—
cowing towards the omnibus, deceased ran very fast
to get in lest it should be filled. He got in, and so did the
others. Before the omnibus had got a hundred yards a
lady called out that deceased was in a tit. Witness got a
glass of water for him, but he could not take it ; he was
quite insensible. The omnibus was at one e driven to Dr.
Bewley's surgery, and that gentleman pronounced de-
ceased to be quite dead.
Mr. F. ForshaU, M.R.C.S., said that deceased, who had
been under Lis care, called on him on Friday morning, and
said that Le felt very much better than usual, and that be
was nearly quite well.
Mr. ('. Bewley, surgeon, said that deceased was brought
into his surgery on Friday forenoon last quite dead. The
postmortem examination pro, ed that he died from rule
cure of the right auricle of the heart, consequent on the
exertion of running to catch an omnibus.
The jury returned a verdict "That deceased died from
rupture of the heart through excitement, and from na•
tural =lima"

NEW YORK, OCT. 25, EVENING.
The New York Times states that the Federal
government insists upon the immediate with-
drawal of the French troops from Diezioo, and that
in view of the probable anarchy ensuing, the
United States will protect and place the Juarez
government on a firm footing, in return for the
cession of Lower California and the northern por

On Monday the Governor of Maryland corn- j
menced hearing the charges against the Baltimore I
police commissioners of violation of the law in
their appointments of judges of the election, and in
denying the right of the ballot to registered voters.
The governor announced that he would examine
the charges without partisanship. The commissioners,

remove them. The governor maintained that he
had legal jurisdiction. The examination has been
postponed until Friday. The governor has issued
a proclamation warning all persons against forming
revolutionary combinations inside or outside the
State to obstruct the execution of the laws. The
whole power of the State will be used to bring
such persons to justice. The governor's supporters
and the radicals who support the police commis-
sioners are both arming and organizing. The
latter threaten to resist the commissioners' removal
by armed force. The Pennsylvania radicals are
reported to be preparing to march to the assist-
ance of the Maryland radicals if necessary.
The Governor's action will be supported, in
case of need, by the Federal troops.

measures to prevent the removal of the commis-

THE PRINCE OP WALES ON THE MOORS.

The Prince of wales has had an admirable op-
portunity during his present visit to Yorkshire of seeing
something of the infinite variety of scenery of which the
county can boast. Last week he spent some days by the
side of the Ouse, and became acquainted with the soft
beauty of the district immediately surrounding York ; on
Saturday and Sunday he was at Studley, where the
generous gifts of nature have been increasesi by all that
art could do to supplement them ; and to-day he is at the
loveliest of all the lovely spots which abound along the
'course of the Tees, and is enjoying the first shooting of
' the season upon the splendid moors above High Force.
Yorkshirtmen, whose pride in their county is as well-
founded as it is nature., will be glad to know that the
prince's visit has been so pleasing to him that it is not
likely to be the last, but that already speculations are rife
RS to his spending another twelfth of August in the
matchless vale of the Tees. That many of the villagers
were disappointed when they saw his royal highness
is unquestionable. Their lively fancies had pictured a
personage much more importing than the gentleman in a
brown great coat and felt hat, who was smoking a cigar on
the box-seat of the omnibus. Said ouc old gentleman,
after the party had passed, "That's none th' Prince o'
Wales. }feaster Wales more like. Why he wur slain' on
top o't bus." But if some were incredulous am to his
identity, the majority recognised him at once, and he was
met throughout the whole journey by the same hearty and
respectful greetings from people who seemed to be highly de-
lighted I.y the honour of a royal visit to their lovely scenery.
high Force Inn, at which the Prince is staying, stands
entirely by itself, by the side of the road, and within a
quarter of a mile of the romantic falls from which it
takes its name. It is something more than a common
way-side hostelry, for it is used every year as a shooting-
box by the Duke of Clevetand,and is leseinaitiy triaiteetler
noblemen and gentlemen who have shooting rights on the
moors in the midst of which it lies. It is a plain but sub-
stantial edifice of considerable size. That the accommoda-
tion within its walls is not everything that a
prince is accustomed to may be undeniable, but at the
same time it is more than sufficient to satisfy a keen err:Le-
man like his royal highness, who would be willing to
submit to a hundred discomforts from which he is free in
this hospitable inn for the sake of the splendid sport which
he is able to get in the immediate neighbourhood, and
although the building is an inn, it would be difficult to find
one where greater privacy is maintained than that which
the Prince now enjoys. The sign-board has been removed
for the time being from the front of the house, but the
visiters to this secluded locality are so few in number that
this fact can make but little difference in the amount of
business done by the worthy hat.—Leeds Mercury.

IN RI H. H. FOR.

The bankrupt was a general merchant, formerly carrying
on business at 27, Leadenhall-street, in copartnership with
Samuel Thompson.
Mr. Treherne appeared for the assignees, and Mr. Link-
later for the bankrupt, at this sitting for examination and
discharge.
The accounts filed in this case show the following large
figures :—Creditors unsecured, 2,017/. ; ditto holding
security, 11,821/. ; liabilities, 104,003/. ; and creditors to
be paid in full, 501. Assets : Property given up to the
assignees, 400/. ; good debts, 1751. ; doubtful debts, 300/. ;
property in the hands of creditors, 7?4501. ; ditto held by
liability creditors, 2,7501. The assignee, who was ap-
pointed by one of the largest creditors, and was himself a
creditor, did not oppose. It was stated that the bank-
rupt had incurred a large amount of liability in connection
with various public companies which bad fallen into a
position of difficulty in consequence of the extreme finan-
cial pressure which lately prevailed. It was anticipated
that a considerable portion of the liabilities would ulti-
mately be discharged by the persons primarily liable.
The Commissioner, in the absence of opposition, granted
an immediate order of discharge.

You are doubtless aware of the ;serious riot which oc-
curred in this city on the 30th ult. A political body, styl-
ing itself the Convention of 1864, met on the 30th for, as
it is alleged, the porpoise of remodelling the present con-
stitution of the state. The leaders were political agita-
tors and revolutionary men, and the action of the con-
vention was liable to produce breaches of the public
peace. I had made up my mind to arrest the
head men if the proceedings of the convention were
calculated to disturb the tranquillity of the department,
but I had no cause for action until they committed the
overt act. About forty whites and blacks were killed,
and about IGO wounded. Everything is now quiet, but I
deem it best to maintain a military supremacy in the city
for a few days, until the affair is fully investigated. I be-
lieve the sentiment of the general community is great regret
at this unnecessary cruelty, and that the police could have
I made any arrest, if they thought fit, without sacrificing
lives. P. H. SHeRIDAN, Major-Gen. Commanding.

,- -
George Morris Mitchell, aged 3s, was indicted for steal-
ing five pieces of paper, theproperty of the Incorporated
Law Institution, Chancery-lane.
It may be remembered that the prisoner having obtained
from the Secretary of the Law Institution permission to
inspect certain bound volumes of the appendices of the
petitions presented to the House of Commons in favour
of universal suffrage, under pretence of making extracts,
instead of doing so tore out the pages containing the in-
formation he rcquired,and took them away with him. The
loos was discovered in consequence of an anonymous letter
received by the secretary, and from other information
detective-officer Bull discovered them in the possession of
the prisoner at his offices in New Broad.street-buildings.
This wus the felony imputed to the prisoner.
Mr. Pater on his behalf, urged upon the jury that the
pages had not been abstracted with any felonious intent.
The prisoner might have been guilty of an act of folly,
but certainly not of felony. If the prosecution desired
compensation, they could obtain it under a recent statute
by a civil proceeding. He, therefore, submitted that the
re psent charge ought never to have been brought, still leas
prosecuted.

The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict
of Not Guilty, and the prisoner was discharged.

THZ NAYS ZEITDI&TES.

The Daily News applies to the Secretary of the Ad-
miralty who moved the consideration of the navy estimates
last night, the phrase by which Sydney Smith once de-
scribed a social favourite, " the cool of the evening," and
certainly his lordship never bad a smoother or simpler
story to tell. Reviewing the statements in the debate, the
Daily News thinks the navy and the nation will concur with
Sir John Pakington in his judgment on the strange economy
of building an experimental seagoing turret ship of five or
six thousand toss, when a ship of eleven hundred tons woeld
have tasted the principle quite as well, and when it
was notorious that a seagoing turret ship of eleven
hundred tons, built by Ream Laird, at Bin-
behead, bad already justified, by her behaviour
at sea in bad weather, the confidence of her builders.
Sir J. Pakington also glanced at Mr. Reed's lighter elms of
steamers, " built for speed only," of which the fiat that
had been launched was found to attain 12 knots an hour.
These criticisms were palpable bits, and the Secretary. who,
rumour whispers, has chosen for a Ifecifterrainan fiaphip
not one of Mr. Reed's building, but one of Hamm Laird's,
might perhaps have felt them more acutely a year or two
ego. Having alluded to Lord C. Paget's anticipation of a time
when savings' banks may be known amongst seamen, the
Daily NM expresses a hope that a few years hence there
will be seamen's barracks at all the naval ports for the re-
ception of paid-off men. These barracks will preserve the
men from the gross mischief that awaits them the moment
they step ashore. . .

- • The Herald is quite willing to admit that we ought even
in time of peace to keep up a larger naval forte than that
of any other naval Power; but it proteste against the pro-
mises of the government of a saving when such a necessity
is acted upon. It is to be regretted that so small an ad-
vance has been made in the construction of iron-clad ships,
the only vessels on which we are now able to rely in time of
war ; and of ee-going turret-ships, of which the Ame.-
cans have built a whole fleet, we have positively not one-
Mr. &muds tells ns, for our consolation, that we have
only ten ships fit for the first line of battle among ocr
armour-clads. If any war should come upon us inoppor-
tunely, and our fleet be overpowered or sent to the bottom
by an enemy well prepared with turret ships, the govern-
meet that has taken ten milliors a year out of our pockets
for the DIIIIMIIIIIIDOO of the navy, and expended it so un-
wisely as to leave us practically defenceless, w"1 seem de-
serving of something worse than mere verbal reproof.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

LEOMINSTER.

The election of a new member for the borough of ,
Leominster, in the room of Mr. Gethorne Hardy, belt
place at the tows-hall yesterday. It will be recumbent'
that at the general election Mr. Hardy was returned for
both Leominster and the University of Oxford, and that
he elected to sit for the university, hence the present
election. The proceedings went off very peaceably, a few
flags being exhibited, and a band of memo parading the
streets. The Mayor, Mr. Daggs, presided at the else.
Eon, and after the reading of the writ and the
other 'customary formalities, Mr. B. Caldwell proposed
and Mr. Greavee seconded the election of Mr. Richard
Arkwright. No other candidate being programed, Mr.
Arkwright wee declared duly elected. Mr. Arkwright,
addressing the electors said, Lord Russell found himself
supported by no small a body of supporters that be had allied
himself to the extreme liberal party. That alliance boded
no good so the church and constitution. It was now no
longer a question between Lord Derby, as avowed and
honest coennative, end Lord Palmerston. a °Dominative
at heart, though not an avowed one; but it was • choice
between a constitutional government and &series of revo-
Intiocary measures. After criticising and condemning the
I views held by Mr. Bright on the (putties of the extension
of the suffrage, be expressed his belief that the condition
of the poor was the real social problem of the day, but he
scald aot see how the addition of a million voters to the
present roll could benefit the poor at all, unless the first
measure of the new parliament was to be to divid all pro-
perty equally. (Laughterand °tutu.) It was a bitter mockery
when the poor were asking for the bread of education to
put them off with the stone" of political agitation. A
goverment so palpably weak es it had shown Itself in
reference to the question of the cattle plagos, and allowing
the Fenian rebellion to go on to the present pass, when they
were fully aware of it* existence months ago, and which

With reference to the repeal of the malt tax, its coon of
collection was said to be to great that, if touched at all, it
, ought to be abolished altogether. If he could see that
both the producer and the consumer would be benefited
by total repeal, he would support it. He was favourable
to an educational franchise, each as was introduced in Lord
Derby's bill. A vote of thanks to the returning officer
brought the proceedings to • close.

CHINA AND JAPAN.

The China Mail (Hong Kong) of Jan. 15 con-
tains various details of the depredations of the
rebels, who are described as murdering everybody
and destroying everything they meet with in the
neighbourhood of Newchwang.
Japan advice, contain an account of a disturbanoe
' between the English and French tars, ending in
the imprisonment of a few of the ringleaders.
Sir Harry and Lady Parkes and family had arrived at
Yokohama. Though many still doubt the ratifica-
tion of the treaties by the Mikado, there appears to
be only one opinion as to the opening of Osaka, and
of the greatlbenefit that will be derived from a free
intercourse with all the classes of Japan. There
seem to be still many complaints of the minor
princes against the Japan government, on account
of their exclusion from the trade with foreigners.

It is asserted that France, Austria, and Russia
have agreed upon the expediency of assembling a
conference as proposed by the Porte for the settle-
ment of the question of the Principalities. This
conference would be composed of delegates from
the powers who signed the treaty of Paris and
would sit at Constantinople.
It is also stated that France and Austria concur
in their views upon the affairs of the Lebanon and
the Eastern question generally.

THE PARIS EXHIBITION OF 1867.
PAWS, Frs. 2T.
The Emperor, the Empress, and the Prince
Imperial received on Sunday the Commissioners of
the Paris Exhibition.

The Emperor, in announcing the appointment of
the Prince Imperial as honorary president of, the
commission, said :—" My eon is at present too
young to take an active part in your deliberations,
but he will at least have an opportunity of learning
in good time to honour labours which secure the
prosperity and splendour of the state."

THE COUNT DS FLANDRES AND ME

ROUMAIN CROWN.

The deasir National, after stating that the
Count de Flandres is not likely to accept the offer
of the crown of Roumania, says :—" The count is
known to desire, above all things, an independent
existence. The possessor of a considerable fortune,
baying inherited a fourth of the large disposable
property of his father, he has announced his inten-
tion of living en grand seigneur as a patron
of arts, and, it is said, of leading a
single life. Being afflicted with deafness
he could not eaaily discharge the duties of a prince
regnant. He was about to set out on an artistic
tour to Italy, in company with the distinguished
Belgian painter, K Portaels ; bat has put off the
journey for some days, and was to be seen on Sunday
mixing with the promenaders of the boulevard. It
is stated that, though he intends to refuse the
crown, he will remain in Brussels out of courtesy
to the deputation which the Roumain parliament
announced they would send."
It will be seen from our Paris correspondence
that his royal highness has arrived in that city,
and there received the deputation.

ELECTION COMMISSIONS.

GREAT YARMOUTH.
The contmissioners sat again yesterday. Mr. W.
ajome, Mr. en's private secretary, said—l sent
iik"7 morning &telegram to Satterthwalte (Jones), Fylde-
meet, Preston, to tLhe following effect :—" Telegraph to
mc immediately when you will be here. The commiesioners
win cot be trifled with, and you have nothing to fear.'
im reply I have received the following telegram :—" Mr.
sorrecchwaits is not at home. Will not be home till
piaci night." This telegram was sent by Wm. Wilcock,
cf Preston. I have no doubt that if you release Edwards
from attendance he will return to Preston and communi-
cate with Jones, and that the latter will be here on
Monday morning, if you wait till then. Not one farthing
case into Yarmouth, so far as Mr. Brogden is concerned,
besides the 6,000/. already spoken of.
Mr. G. C. Johnston, chief clerk and accountant to the
commercial establishment with which Mr. Brogden is oon-
morred, deposed that he went to Yarmouth before the
election at Mr. Brogden's request. The sum of 3,7001.
'scaled through his hands. He " quitted" all his money in
two dais. He paid 2,0001. to Jones, 1,0001. to Edwards,
and 610/. to Mr. Salmon.
Mr. Azarish Waters, a draper in Yarmouth, stated that
be undertook to look after some of the shaky voters, and in •
the course of his evidence he made the following state-
meets :—I saw Spencer at his house ; he said, ' There's
five of us, and we five want 1001." The next I saw was
Roder. He said, " I am quite independent of both par-
ties, but before I promise either party I shall see Mr.
Nightingale • he has been a good friend to me." Frosdick
mid, " I shan't promise anyone. I shall wait and see
which gives the most." (Laughter.) I believe
Spencer received money from the tones. I believe
they all three took money from one aide or the other.
Wales, cowkeeper, was the next man I saw. Mrs.
Wales came up to me and said, " Mr. Waters, if you can
El 5/. we will come and spend half of it with you."
tighter.) Laoon and Goudson called upon me, but I
ed to support them. Through Mr. Goodson's in-
fluence I was paid 4s. 6.1. for goods which I had had
damaged on the railway. (Laughter.) I took no part in
the election of 1859.
Cattermole, of the Army and Navy Tavern,
Yarmouth, said a room at his house was hired by the
liberals on the Monday week before the election ; 40 or 50
voters came to the house, some having tickets for Mr.
Jones. He saw one or two receive money. They appeared
is make no secret of what they were about. One old
gentleman was very particular in counting his money.
Laughter.)
The witnesses Edwards, Salmon, and Johnston applied
for and received certificates of indemnity, after which the
inquiry was adjourned.

Mr. C. F. VARLET read a paper " On Certain phenomena

This great regatta, promoted by the joint towns of Deal,

more than usual success. The day was observed as t ho-

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE POLISH INSURRECTION IN SIBERIA.
The Moscow Gazette of August 22 contains the
following communication from Irtkousk, dated
July 17 :
About 200 Polish prisoners taken up at once were loaded
with chains and brought here. One Dombrowski, who
styled himself chief of the staff, is amongst the
prisoners. The insurgents are well organised. There are
already the cadres of five regiments, each regiment
has its . camp, its arms, its powder, and scythemen,
armed with scythes, which are not at all like those used
in the last Polish insurrection, but which have been ape.
cially made : in short, the organisation could not be better•
They are expecting the arrival of the colonists, who are her.
in limited numbers, to complete regiments. Revolutionary
proclamations were found on Dombrowski, as well
as a considerable correspondence with all parts
of Russia and Siberia. This shows that the
insurrection has been in preparation for a long time. So
much for the penetration of our Argun' ! And this is
what comes from shelving humanity towards the Pelee.

PRUSSIA AND AUSTRIA.
BERLIN, AuoreT_29..

The Austro-Prussian treaty of peace is in all the
principal points only a repetition of the peace pre-
liminaries, with a slight variation in the wording.
One of the articles, however, modifies the treaty of
commerce between Austria and the Zollverein by
stipulating that six months' notice must be given
before either party can withdraw from the conven-
tion.
After the peace treaty has been ratified, the
Prussian troops will at once commence the evacua-
tion of Austrian territory and the officers and as-
sistants of the transport commission intrusted with
superintending the operation of that movement left
this city on Saturday. Orders have already been
given for the transport of the troops of the Prus-
sian headquarters from Prague to Topaz, and
this has probably been already accomplished.

SecrroN 0.-31ECILLNICAL SCIENCE.

In this section the various papers were severely
technical, and scarcely admitted of abstracts rendering
them intelligible to any but the scientific reader. There
was one by Mr. John l)aglish, " On the Counterbalancing
of Winding Engines for Coal-mines ;" another, by Mr.
Fairbeirn, "On the means employed for removing and re-
placing in a new Position the Iron Columns of a Fire-proof
Cotton-mill." Then followed Mr. G. Hughes on "Rotary
Engines with special reference to one invented by W.
Hall ;" Mr. W. Hooper, ou " The Electrical and Mechani-
cal Properties of Indiatubber Insulated Wire ;" Mr.
George Fawcus, on " Improvements in Pontoon Trains ;"
and the last communication was one from N. P. Burgh,
on "The Action and Effects of Flame on Marine Boilen."
Notwithstanding the somewhat abstruse nature of the
papers, the section wu well attended, and the discussions
ably conducted.
