FATAL BOILER EXPLOSI N AT IHE RHYMNEY IRON
Woaxs.—On TharAday morning an explosion took place
of one of the steam boilers at thesa works on the borders of
Monmouth and Glamorganshire. Two men were killed on
the spot, and about a dozen were more or less inju'ed, and
one eo seriously that he is not expected to recover. The entire
works were w.ecked, and the extent of the destruction
would appear incredible if the ruins were not there to
attest it.

A WRITING MACHINE.— An ingenious piece of mechan-
ism, designed to enable a person to record his thoughts or
observations while travelling in the cars, in a crowd, or in
a p'ace where ordinary apparatus cannot be used, has
been invented by Mr. Benjamin Livermore, of Hartland,
Vermont. The paper on which the writing, or rather
printing—for it resembles the telegraphic system of print-
ing—is impreased, is coiled round two cylinders, which
revolve as the lines are completed, and the letters are
worked by a set of keys. No ink is required, the letters
being coloured by a prepared blue paper, against Which
the writing paper is pressed by each movement of the keys.

by about two and a half in width. It can be easily ()Ivied
in a side pocket, and can be used without taking it from
the pocket. By it a blind person might be taught to
write. Altogether, it is one of the most ingenious affairs
we ever expmined.—Boston Journal.

litoN SHIPBUILDING.—Our readers are familiar with the
views of Mr. John Clare Jun., of Liverpool, who for some
years has devoted himself to improving the construction
of iron ships, that they shall not only be more durable
than at present, but travel with greater speed and safety.
Mr. Clare with all his known perseverance, having been
unable to move the " circumlocution" offic-als, and induce
the government to adopt his plans, though their correctness
has been admitted, his friends now hope to enable him to
effect his object by other means. A subscription, we find,
has been set on foot and liberally responde3 to by some of
the leading houses in Liverpool, to compensate bins for the
time spent, reimburse the money he is out of pocket, and
to place him in such a position that he can ineontestibly
show he has accomplished the "climax in the mechanical
art of ship-construction ;" thus elevating and enriching
our ironmaster s and s';ipbuilders by preventing competition
with otber countries, and ensuring the maintenance of
England's supremacy in commarce over all the world.—
Mining Journal, Ist August, 1857.
THE DUCAL HOUSE or BUCKINGHAM.—In the afternoon
of Wednesday, a portion of the inheritance of the Ducal
House of Buckingham and Chandos, described as very
valuable freehold, copyhold, and leasehold estates, with a
rental of £2,500 rer annum, was offered by Harrison and
Son, at the White Hart Inn, in this town—more in
accordance with the desires of the solicitors of mortgagees
than any one else more materially concerned; but the
issue was especially unsatiefsotory to them, and of course
to the auctioneers, who were nonplussed in their efforts to
rivet a purchaser. Nevertheless, several gentlemen of
known capital, and with intent to purchase, who came
many niPes with cheque books in pocket, were unable er
unwilling to follow the auctioneer up to the reserved
figures ; even the" lots" of many of the town houses,
commardieg votes for any aspiring capitalist ambitious to
secure a seat in Parliament, failed to find purchasers at
unmarketable reserves. The indisputable fact of over-
burdened, depreciated property bought over the heads of
other competitors at outside figures, offers the solution of
the extraordinary circumstance of seventeen lots of such
property remaining in the bards of the auctioneer at the
close of the sale.— Banbury Guardian.
The Economist remarks, that besides the import of arti-
cles from India and the exports of our manufactures
thither, we also send to India of foreign and colonial
produce and manufacture to the value of nearly £500,000
a year—in 1854, £493,752 ;in 1856, £404,321. "Large
quantities of silver, too, are continually sent to India,
as we have of late had frequent occasion to notice , and
if they sometimes occasion alarm in those who regret
the loss of bullion, they are additional proofs of a large,
and, to some person, a prefitable.trade. Moreover, India
carries on a censidtrable trade with other countries--
the United States, F.ance, China, Australia, and all the
islarr's of the Indian and Pacific oceans. The total value
merely of our trade, import and export, with India, in
1855, was something more than £23,000,000. At pre-
sent, we may expect that the commotion wilt be, for a
time, iraurieus to trade. Merchants will not readily send
out ordt rs es lcng as there is a great probability that they
will not be executed, For goods which may not be sold.
The late telegeaphic despatch tells Us that at Madras the
import market had continued brisk, but at Calcntta and
Bombay busines had come to a stand. The exchange,
however, was further against us, and a large exportation of
silver for some time may be anticipated.
The Spectator observes of the proposed royal com-
mission for India that we are arrived at a turning-point,
at which the grand object is to have the most thorough,
complete, and ccncentrated survey of the whole state of
India, European, as well as Native. "It would be
extremely impolitic to limit the survey to any mere branch
of 'grievances,' when the very things on which we desire
to be informed are—the extension of our empire, the
treaty or actual relations with native. Sta.le.s in semi-
independence, the.

troop', the expediency of expediting certain
European
reforms and retarding others. The commission should
the des'
take even the Governcr•Generalship into its survey ; but
how can the Governor. General issue a commission to
inquire into himself ? It is a clerk-like mistake in Mr.
Vernon Smith to suppose that we only want the opinions
of able men on specific questions ; we want a judgment
formed for and on bank of Fngland ; and the commie-
sion should be composed of men who can rise above the
present entanglements. They are to be found both in
India and England. A e annaission addressed to such men
as Sir George Clerk and S'r Patrick Grant would bespeak
public confidence ; and probably neither executive nor
Public would object to such a secretary as Mr. Danby
