CRYSTAL PALACE sE a-8.4 TYLVG.
A design is now 'pug, before the directors of the
Crystal Palace Company for laying down incorrodible
pipes frctn the Lea at Brighton, for the purpose of con'
veying pure Lea water along the slopes of that railvis9
to a large reservoir at Sydenham, where capacious
plunging and swimming baths will be established, i°
emetafxion with the Crystal Palace, affording to the Isa
dies, geuticmen, tradesmen, and invalids of all classes,
residing in London, and its environs, the means of ob-
taining, at a cheep rate, the salubrious recreation of sea"
bathing, without entailing upon them the expense, or
the loss of time of retirieg to the sea coast.
Numerous, iedeed, we may imagine, would be the at'
tendance upon each an establishment, united as it will
have bo with our popular Crystal Palace; persons who
now no alternative but fresh water bathing, which is
universally acknowledged to be vastly inferior to that °f
sea water, would eagerly seize upon the opportunity ?f
a short, pleasant ride by railway from London, to 0bt6,11
at a cheap rate a luxury hitherto only placed within the
reach of the more opulent portion of the community'
And by a simple extension of the plan, the wale!,
once at the Sydenham reservoir, could be distributed
throughout the Principal residences, palaces, hospital
hotels, and pubic baths of our great metropolis, an
employed not alone for the sanitary purposes of bathing!
but also for supplying the ornamental waters of the
Crystal Palace, which, by the acquisition of sea
water,
will surpass the hitherto unequalled jets d'eau of Ver.
sailles or the noble cascades of St. Cloud.
It has been ascertained from careful calculation by
the projector, Thomas Wright, C.E., that the metropolis
could be supplied at tho rate of 3d. per 100 gallons, 0'
one good bath for a penny.
It is a remarkable fact that notwithstanding tl,
wealth, our boasted civilization, and mechanical sal f
we fall infinitely short of the Greeks and Romans s
ancient, and of most European countries of modern
times, with respect to our national baths; but oft the 4„`;
troduction of the marine water supply the greatest
achievement in hy be
accomplished, ever yet attempted will
aaccomplished, cud one well worthy the age we live 10
and the justly celebrated mechanical and scientific pre,
eminence of the Brie ish nation.

STEAM-BOAT COLLlSlON.—lntelligence was 'Weir('
at Lloyd's on Wednesday of a most serious collision hal
occurred between the Clyde screw steam-ship, belonging
„0
the Carron Company, and a coaster named the Beehive,
the steamer's recent trip from the Thames to Grangernoutil
which resulted in the foundering cf the smaller vessel an
the loss of three lives. According to the information fore
niched at the London depot of the company, it would aePeS
that the Clyde, Captain Alexander Watt, left her moorings
off Carron Wharf, Lower East Smithfield, on Saturday 015
in., and proceeded down the river. The
pilot was law
at Gravesend, and the steamer continued on her course*
At nightfall the usual red, green, and white lights We.-

(Stind,il,l
morning, when the Clyde was midway between the '''-ses
and Maplin Sands, a vessel was sighted two-and-a-halt pole
on her starboard bow. The master, Mr. Watt, Was

were on the forecastle on the look-out. from some 111:0-
plained circumstance the Beehive is said :o have kept be
course she was making when first perceived. She put i",
helm aport and came under the Clyde's bow. A Collist?..
appearing inevitable, Mr. Watt ordered the engines to twit
reversed and backed, and in other respects did everytbing'the
would seem, to avert the accident. All failed, however, the
vessels came in contact, and such was the violence of
03.4
shock that the Beehive rapidly went down in ten fat",he
water. The steamer's boats were promptly lowered ill. `-ds
hope of preserving the poor fellows who formed the Beeluvd
crew. Only one. however, was picked up, the master 84
two men perishing. Immediately alter the collision tl!,
Clyde dropped her anchor and remained nearly two hours.tu,
_n:
the scene of the accident, with a view of seeing whet
either of the sufferers were floating about on pieces of vire_c;
Nothing, however, was seen of them. The unfortunate vc,,‘
sel was laden with iron, and was bound from Glasgovr.r
London. The Clyde continued her trip to Grangeraeout
where the disaster was reported.

WAI EST CUDERLAND.—Wthat George
e understand
Moore, Esq., of Bow Church-yard, London, has beenur.
gently solicited to come forward to contest the Western
divi-
sion of our county, but his large and increasing commercial
operations, we fear, will preclude him from so doing. We
are inclined to think, however, from his well-known sy.
reasonable chance of success he would fight the battle of. _
pathy with the Liberal cause, that if ho were assured oie!.
dependence with a zeal and energy for which he is see
noted, and would, in all probability, take one seat out of
Lord Lousdale's keeping. We know from a private source
that the register has been well attended to since Mr. Moore,
suggested, in his speech at the dinner given to our Libel's!!
Members at the last general election, that the RegistratiTl
Court was the arena to secure one seat for the Liberals 10
the West, and it is not too late to make a movement tO
effect the independence of the division.—Carlisle Journal.
IRON PAPER.—At the Prussian Industrial Exhi-
bition, Count Renard, a large proprietor of ironworks, eB-
- sheets-iron of such a degree of tenuity that the leaves
can be used for paper. Of floe finest sort, the machinery
rolls 7,040 square feet, of which may be called leaf-iroc,
from a cwt. of metal. A bookbinder of Breslau has made all
album of nothing else, the pages of which turn as flexibly
as the finest fabric of linen rags. As yet no extemive
plication for this form of the metal has been found, but th°
manager says the material must precede the use for it. Per.
haps books may hereafter be printed for the tropics on the
metallic leaves, ,and defy the destructive power of ants of
any colour or strength of forceps. We have only to invent
a white ink, and the thing is done.

THE CLOTH AND TAILORING TRADE.—No little stir

of
has been created in the West of England and the cloth trade
by the announcement that the well-known wholesale firm d
Dudden and Company, of Coventry-street, had intimate
their intention to incorporate a retail Tailoring departmentdepartment.
with their other business. In a circular issued by them toad
state, the complaint is as true as it is universal, that "g u, e

provide a rentetif,
employment is to be given to tailors whose work is to be de-
pended upon, Messrs. Dudden charging to their cuscustomer or style,
only the workmen's wages m addition to the wholesale price
of the cloth or other material. The experiment is a bold
and novel one, deeply
affecting the interests of the consumer
" t.`
as well as those of the iI II

to notice the result of its operations.
