EXTRAORDINARY AND USEEITI. INVENTION.—;There is nothing
that house*ives complain of with greater truthfulness than
the breaking of some favourite piece of glass, valuable chins,
or earthenware. In hundreds of cases such thing cannot be •
matched, and of course cannot be mended. The lattef want
has been- obviated by an extraordinary and effective inver.ion,
by Mr. Adshead, of Derby Pottery, near Derby. It is a cement
that may be said to heal in a perfect manner, all cracks and
breaks in the articles spoken of, and not only in these, but in
marble, alabastef, &c. The benefit of this article need not be
dwelt on. We have seen some of its effects at Mr. Hall's, our
' neighbour's and the glass that has been cemented by it is
stronger in that part than in any other. The article is very
cheap, and no house can be long without it. Mr. Hall is the
agent for its sale in Liverpool, and all interested can judge for
themselves by looking in at his establishment. Agent for
Liverpool, E. T. Hall, 23, South John-street. Sold in bottles,

AusTRIA. AND ROME.—A letter from Vienna in the
Gazette Universelle Allemande, says :—" We learn from
good authority that the representative of Austria at
Rome, Baron de Bach, has advised the Roman Court to
grant a certain number of reforms likely to allay the
dissatisfaction which exists with the- temporal govern-
ment of the Church. But this well-meant advice has
not been favourably received by the College of Cardinals.
At any-rate such opposite views were expressed about it,
and so many-were dissentient, that there is no chance
of a recourse being had to this-efficacious remedy." • •
PRINCE ALFRED AT 3TAPLES.—The Naples corres-
pondent of the Patrie writes that on the 12th instant.,
Prince Alfred, of England, arrived there on board the
Euryalus frigate, Captain Tarleton. His royal highneis
has visited the principal ports of Sicily, and stayed at
Palermo several days. Immediately on entering this port
the frigate displayed the flag of the Two S,icilies, and
saluted with 21 guns, which was responded to, by, the,
forts. The Prince of Aquila, grand admiral of the Neapo-
litan navy, then went on board the Euryalus to wait on.
Prince Alfred in the name of -his Majesty, and to invite
.him to .make the royal palace his home during his stay
at Naples. The young
,Prince expressed his regret at
not being able to accept the offer, excusing himself that
he was voyaging for instruction in his profession, and
under the strictest incognito. On the 13th, Mr.
Elliott, the English minister, and M. Carafa, the Nea-
politan minister for foreign flails, accompanied Prince
Alfred to the palace,' where hawas received by the King
and Queen.. All the Princes of the royal family were
likewise present. His Royal Highness was to. honour,
the San Carlos Theatre with his presence that evening.
Orders have been given to the ditector at POmpeii to
make researches under Prince Alfred's eyes, and any
curiosities discovered will be offered for his acceptance.

UNIVERSITY OF LONDON.

THE NEW DEGREE IN SCIENCE.

A new academical degree has been founded by the
University of London—that of Bachelor of Science, the-
first examination for which will take place on the third
Monday of July next. Candidates will be required to
have passed the matriculation examination, and to,
pass two subsequent examinations ; but Bachelors of
Arts of the University and undergraduates who
shall have passed the first examination for the degree
of Bachelor of Medicine will be admitted to the
degree of Bachelor of Science in passing the second
examination prescribed. The subjects fixed upon by
the Council in which candidates are to be examined
are somewhat extensive. They comprise the ordinary
rules of arithmetic, vulgar and decimal fractions, ex-
traction of the square root, addition, subtraction and
division of algebraical quantities, algebraical proportion
and variation, permutations and combinations, arithme-
tical and geometrical progression, simple and quadratic
equations, the 11th book of "Euclid " to proposition
21, the equation of the straight line and the equation to
the circle referred to rectangular co-ordinates, plane
trigonometry as far as to enable the candidate to solve
all the cases of plane triangles, statics, dynamics,
hydrostatics, hydraulics, pneumatics, optics, heat, elec-
tricity, magnetism, chemistry, botany, and vegetable
physiology, zoology and animal physiology. Candidates
will not be approved by the examiners unless they
show a competent knowledge in the fundamental
principles of —l, mathematics ; 2, mechanical and
natural philosophy ; 3, chemistry; 4, biology, including
botany and vegetable physiology, and zoology and
animal philosophy. Candidates who pass the first
~Bachelor of Science examination will be entitled to

the ordinary pass examination. In connection with this
degree there will also be a higher one of Doctor of.
Science, the. examination for which will take place
annually, within the first fourteen days of June each
year. No candidate will be admitted to the examination
for the degree of Doctor of Science until after the ex-
piration of two academical years from the time of his
obtaining the degree of Bachelor of Science.

FRIGHTFUL COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—An appalling
occurrence happened at about a mile and a half from
Wolverhampton on Saturday morning, which resulted in
the instant death of seven persons. At a little before six
o'clock on that morning the colliers of the Blue Fly pit,
at the Wednesfield-heath colliery of Mr. 11. B. White-
house, iron and coalmaster of Wolverhampton, assembled
around the pit's mouth to descend to their work, down a
shaft nearly 100 yards in depth. During the previous
night the engine had been used in drawing water from
the pit, and by the hour above-mentioned on Saturday
morning the night engine-tender had left duty, and the .
engine-tender for the day had taken the engine in
charge. On passing each other, the engine-tender who
was going off duty said to his successor,*" It's all right."
Presuming upon the supposed truthfulness of the state-
ment, the day engine-tender went confidently into the
engine-houses and the colliers received the customary
signal to " jump in " to the skip. Four men and
three boys obeyed the signal: The engine was set
in motion, and the skip raised a few inches from
the waggon or platform that on such occasions forms
the temporary covering to the mouth of the shaft,
and "the waggon was drawn away to allow the skip -
to descend. The engine had been scarcely reversed
before it was found that the drum upon which the
wire rope that held the skip was coiled had been imper-
fectly connected with the engine. In no way held in
check, therefore, it began to revolve with great rapidity, _
and in an instant the men and boys in the skip were
literally dashed to atoms at the bottom of the shaft.
Brilliant fire was emitted by. the iron-work as it col-
lided, a large portion of the immense drum shot away
a distance of fifty yards, and the wire rope broke
and fell with crushing force upon the heads of the
men in the skip. It is a cause of much surprise
and thankfulness that the riven machinery did not,
as it flew around, take the lives of the colliers who •
yet waited at the pit's mouth to descend. With
as little delay as possible a gin-pulley was erected
over the pit, and a descent was made down the shaft.
Most of tho bodies were found in the lump or well
at the bottom of the shaft in which there was 7ft. of
water. The first was brought up about ten o'clock, and
the rest were soon sent to the surface. By this time the
news had spread far and-near, and the scene which was
presented by the bereaved relatives recognising the
bodies was heartrending. As the relatives claimed the
corpses, they were conveyed to their former homes, some
of them three miles asunder. Three of the men were
married, and together had seven children. Two of the
deceased ,were father and son. The two engine-tenders
are in custody on.. he charge of manslaughter. They
are William Johnson, aged twenty-six, and John Feraday,
aged twenty three. By Mr. Whitehouse's direction, art
application has also been made for a warrant for the
arrest of the superintending engineer, named Fisher.

DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE IN EAST WO RCESTERSHIRE.
—On Thursday morning one of those trade outrages
now growing so frequent took place at Cradley, where
the mannfactUre-of nails is carried on very largely. A.
horse-nail maker, named Job Dunn, lives here, and not
being a member of the trade union,-he has been a con-
stant object of attack, but by frequent -watching has
hitherto escaped pretty -well. At four o'clock on the
above'morning he was roused by a terrific explosion,
which alarmed the whole neighbourhood. His work-
shop and brewhouse had been completely demolished,
and damage was done to windows and walls for a radius
of nearly 50 yards: The explosion was caused by a bag
of power, supposed to be about a quarter of a hundred-
weight, being lowered down the chimney of the shop,
by a cord with a long fusee attached. The man Dunn
and his wife and, thild.narrowly escaped death. The
wall of the<roorn, against which was the bed in which
they were lying, was blown in, and it was only by an
inch or two of masonry that the large detached fragment
Was prevented falling upon and smothering them. About
three liours before the explosion Dunn was aroused by

ime noise. , Ile went out into the garden, having
:hrown some clothing over hiM, and saw four or five
Men running away, of whom he swears to two. These
men are named William Felton and Zechariah Willetts.
They have been -apprehended and are said to be com-
mittee men belonging to the union. On Friday they
were brought up before the Stourbridgo magistrates on
Bench

STEIN SHIPBUILDING ON THE CLYDE.—Several fine
neiv,ste.amershave just been turned out by Clyde firms.
Among them maybe mentioned the Olympus, built by
Messrs. Thomson for Messrs. Burns and M'lver. The
Olympus, which is destined for the Mediterranean trade,
her re atebpinybetween Liverpool, Malta, Constantinople,
and Alexandria, is 1,700 tons burden, builders' measure-
ment ; herlength of keel and forerake is 270 feet, breadth
of beam 36 feet, and depth of hold 27 feet. , She will be pro-
pelled by oscillating engines of 300-horse power, which
will be supplied with steam from tubular boilers,
constructed on the superheating principle. The screw is
three-bladed, and 15 feet indiameter. The Olympus is the
`first of .dve steamers which Messrs. Burns and Inver
'have ordered from Clyde builders, and Messrs. Thomson
will launch the second, _which has been named the.
Atlas, in about a month.. They are also building for
the same firm the Giraffe, another fine vessel, intended to
run as a.-despatch steamer between Glasgow and Liver-
pool. Messrs. ' Blackwood and Gordon have launched a
screw of 450 tons burden and 90-horse power for the
Glasgow Screw Steamship Company. She has been named
the Tuskar, and will ply between Glasgow, Cork, and:
Waterford, in corikfnefion .with the company's other
steamers. The Guayaquil, a fine screw' for the Pacific-
Royal Mail
_Company, has been launched _ from the
yard of 'Messrs. Laurence Hill and Co., Port Glasgow.
The; Guayaquil has, among other novelties, a saloon
,skylight extending over nearly the whole length of the
varter-deck, thus securing great light and ventila-
tion, The engines are being constructed by -Mesars.
Randolph, 'Elder, and Co., and will, it is expected,
combine high speed with great economy of fuel. Messrs.
W. Denny and Brothers, of Dumbarton, hive contracted
to build for Messrs. Burns aniron screw of ahout 2,000
tons, for the. Constantinople • trade. The engines are to
be supplied by Mestirs. Tulloch and Denny. The Sicilian,-
another screw intended for the Mediterranean trade, is
being engined at Greenock by Messrs. Mundt) and Co.
The. Japan, screw has been purchased by the French
Government, and has left Greenock for one of their
1 naval depots.
