THE SCIENCE OF CANDLE-BURNING.

Before you put your candle out look at. it. It has
been burning some time unsnuffed, and gives little or no
light: the wick is long, and is topped by a heavy black
clot—a lump of uuconsumed carb,n. Take the candle.
stick in your hand, and move it gently from aide to
side: the superfluous wick burns away, and the candle is
again bright. When you ask yourself why this is, you
learn that flame is hollow, and as it admits no oxygen,
which is necessary for combustion, the wick which it
surrounds remains unconsumed, and diminishes the light.
When the flame, by motion, leaves the wick exposed at
intervals to the oxygen of the atmosphere, it speedily
burns away. Note the valuable deduction from this tact
—the formation of a wick which constantly turns out-
ward and reaches the exterior air, and so gives us a
candle requiring no snuffing. There is much philosophy
in the burning of a candle. The wick you may think
is intended to burn and give light ; but this is not
exactly the fact. The wick is simply to bring the
melted tallow, or oil, if in a lamp, into that finely divided
state in which it is best fitted for combustion. The heat
applied to " light" the candle decomposes into its consti-
tuents the small quantity of tallow next the wick: heat
and light are produced in the operation, and the heat so
produced carries on the decomposition. Just think of
this.—Builder.

FRANCE.

The Union and Univers have articles on the ru
51-ur that the French Government has resolved to
force tbe observance of the Sabbath. It appears
±m an advertisement in the journals that a consi-
table number of tradesmen have already announced
4r intention to close their shops on Sunday. The
:nion, i❑ mentioning the fact, expresses the satisfac-
tion that it derives from it, and a hope that the ex-
ample will be generally followed.
It appears, says the Debats, that it is in contem-
plation to change the hours of opening and closing the
Bourse of Paris, so as to enable telegraphic dispatches
to be sent off the same day to all the great towns
of France with the last quotations of the day. In
fact, by fixing the Paris hours at from twelve to two,
and those of Lyons, Bordeaux, Marseilles, Rouen, and '
I3.avre from four to five, an abundance of time would
be left, after the close of the Paris Bourse, to send by
electric telegraph the official price,, so as to allow
them to be posted in the departments before the opening
of each local bourse. It its stated that applications have
been made by several towns i❑ the departments to
have this change in the hours effected, and there is
reason to believe that the Minister of Finance will
accede to the representations made. This intention
%us freely spoken of at the Bourse, and some per-
sons even went the length of atirming that the
proposed change was already decided on, and would
satin be carried into effect.
Since the end of March the Bank of France has
handed over to the Prefecture of Police not less than
300 false pieces of 5f., which it had taken in the
course of business. False pieces of 20f, exceedingly
well executed, are now also in circulatiop. One was
passed on Thursday evening at a grocers shop in the
Place de la Bourse.
The Corse steamer brought into Havre on Thurs-
day morning four English boats, taken in the act of
dredging for oysters within the French lines.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST.
The atijourned special meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the London-bridge terminus, to re-
ceive the report of the scrutineers on the result of the
poll demanded at the speeial meeting of the company on
Friday last (an account of which appeared in The Sun
of Saturday), in respect to a resolution moved by Mr.
Bell to adjourn the meeting for three weeks, and to an
amendment thereon, requesting the directors to convene
a special meeting with as little delay as possible. Mr.
Laing took the chair.
The report of the scrutineers stated that 43 proprie-
tors voted for Mr. Bell's motion,. representing 159,2181.
stock in the company and 2,845 votes ; and that 75 pro-
prietors voted for the amendment, representing 280,0311.
stock in the company and 4,919 votes ; showing a ma-
jority in favour of the amendment of 32 proprietors, re-
presenting 120,8121. stock and 2,0741.
The CHAIRMAN declared the amendment carried, and
announced that a new special meeting would be con-
vened on Tuesday (this day) fortnight to consider the
proposed arrangements, and in the meantime a full state-
ment of the arrangements with the Crystal Palace Com-
pany, would be sent to each of the proprietors, together
with a report from the directors on the subject.

NAVAL RESERVE.

Sir G. PECHELL wished to ask what steps had been
taken to carry out the reserve of 5,000 men which had
been provided for by a vote of the House?

Mr: STAFFORD had to state, in reply, that no stfTs
had been taken to carry out that system, and that, after
much consideration end consultation among those best
acquainted with the subject, it was caisidered the scheme
was on the whole impracticable.
PRUSSIA AND NEUFCHATEL.

Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to ask whether
any communications had been received by her Majesty's
Government respecting a recent conference between the
representatives of the great Powers of Europe, with re-
ference to the claims of Prussia upon Neufchatel; and,
secondly, if the Noble Lord knew if there would bo any
objection to lay the papers on the table of the House.
Lord STANLEY (who spoke in a still lower tone
than Lord John Russell, so that he was very indistinctly
heard) was understood to reply that a conference had
been held, and a protest signed by the representatives of
the four great piwers, on the subject of the Prussian
claims on Neufchatel. There was no doubt in the mind
of Government, or, he believed, on the mind of any per-
son who had turned his attention to the subject, that
Prussia had certain rights over Neufchatel, which rights
had been recognised by the treaty of 1815. It might
not be altogether irrelevant to observe, as it was a fact
of some importance, that this was the first public act by
which France, under her present ruler, bad recognised
the settlement of Europe made in 1815. At the pre-
sent time, at all events, it would be impossible to lay the
papers connected with this conference on the table of the
House.

RESERVE STEAM NAVY.

The debate which took place in the House of Com-
mons on Tuesday evening, in reference to the proposi-
tion of Mr. Anderson, the Member for the Orkneys—
" To inquire into the practicability of providing, by
means of the commercial steam marine of the country,
a reserve steam navy, available for the national defence
when required"—was one of the most interesting and
important, in a truly national view, which has occurred
for years.
Mr. Stafford, the new Secretary to the Admiralty,
having been prevented from entering into any explana-
tion in connexion with naval affairs upon the passing of
the navy estimates, with much tact, judgment, and good
sense, availed himself of this opportunity to make seve-
ral valuable statements, not only in regard to our own
navy, but as to the navies both of France and Russia, to
which we invite the serious attention of our professional
readers and of the public at large.
He commenced a speech characterised no less by
modesty than ability, by showing the number of her
Majesty's ships in commission on the home station, and
the vessels forming what has been termed a " screw
reserve," viz. :—" Nine sail of the line, 5 frigates, 1
sloop, 2 screw-steamers, and 8 paddle-steumers. There
were 14 other vessels nearly completed for the steam
reserve. The whole of our naval defence on the home
station stood thus:— . _ _

Vessels. Men.
Woolwich
Sheerness
Portsmouth
Devonport
Cork

Total
To these add Hecate (cruising), 160 men; Pluto, 55;
Antelope, 55; Vulcan, 152; making in all 52 vessels
and 12,328 men, exclusive of 4,500 marines on shore,
and coastguard and dockyard battalions; being alto-
gether 29,648 men."
in addition to this, we behove that the undermen-
tioned steamers (forming the first-class advance) are
at present, or will within a very short period, be ready
to proceed to sea upon the shortest possible notice:--
SCREW LINE-OF-BATTLE SHlPS.—Sanspareil, 81 guns,
and Edinburgh, 60 guns.

STEAM-FaicaTzsi—Amphion (screw), 33 guns; Cy-
clops, 6 guns; Odin, 16 gnus; Sidon, 22 guns; and Vul-
ture, 6 guns.
S•rEAu-SLeoPS.—Barracouta, Tiger, Basilisk, Vesu-
vius, Buzzard, Desperate, and Argus.
This at first sight presents a very imposing aspect;
but, lot it be remembered, all power is but comparative,
and our navy in this instance must be viewed with re•
ference to the duties required of it, both et home and
abroad, and the great and daily increasing navies of
France and Russia—an abstract of which is here sub-

T MAGAZINES, &c
BLACKWOOP.

After a perusal of the first article in the April
-number of 131ov/wood—cm impassioned eulogium on
the .Neble-Earl, at present, the leader of her Majesty's
Government—we turn as to a more than ever agree-
able relexation,-to the latest instalment of the "novel"
of Sir Bolivar Lytton, the alter ego of Pisistratus.
No less than fifteen. chapters—and some of them'
lengthy end elaborated—aid. this month in the deve-
lopment of the narrative, and. wonderfully developed
it is ! Bringing one to the very brink of a cluster
of crises—Poor Audley- Egerton ruined and trem-
bling, we fear, on the verge of a sudden death—
Frank .Hazeldean, betrothed.to Beatrice, after having
paid off her debts (and his own) by a post obit to
Baron Levy on the Casino--Count di Peschiera on the
track of the daughter of Dr. RicCabocca—Leonard
and Helen, Violante and Harley L'Eatrange playing-
more than ever at "cress purposes" with each other
in the depths of- their pure but bewildered affections
—and Randal Leslie, " the type of perverted
"that pale face all intellect, and that spare form
all nerve," on the eve of either the most complete and
sizzling sueceas, or of the most painfully and dis-
astrously ignominious exposure of his machinations.
In recounting his story tho poet-novelist com-
munes at stray intervals, rare intervals, rendering
these charming from their abrupt insulation, with his
readers—as in that moment when be explains to them
and to himself the mysterious difficulty of thinking.
In the united qualitieS of ease and mellowness of
" style"—this his most recent, and in other respects
his most comprehensive, work (both as to intricacy
of plot and ,diVersity of :character) may perhaps
be regarded as the masterpiece among his
prose compositions. After a criticism on "American
Military Reconnoissances" we have the commencement
of what—judging from the first delightful portion—
promises to be a glorious series of papers, bight " Our
London Commissioner." From its beginning to its
conclusion the article is sparkling witkr the most
genial humour—at times merging into hilarity almost
boisterous. The writer, whoever he may be, sets out
in a mood of the wildest animal spirits, for which we
unaffectedly proffer him our acknowledgements,
seeing that in the perusal we have found his merri-
ment contagious. During this present month of
April we can conscientiously recommend this Contri-
bution as a " very likely" antidote for a fit of the
niregrims. The defence of the stage, as demoralizing
in its tendencies, .does honour to the pages of dear old
Maga, and nothing can be more pleasantly extrava-
gant than the burlesque apostrophe to the murderers,
swindlers, forgers, and footpads recognised among the
audience in the little theatre in thellaymarket. -We
shall rejoice to meet once more the jovial visage of
the Blackwood Commissioner. Besides a deserved
encomiumaon.". The Mother's Legacy to her Unborn
Child," the magazine of magazines contains a couple
of political articles not before particularized, one re-
lating to the "Commercial Disasters of 1851," and
the other to "The Appeal to the Country."

FOREIGN SHIPPING.

In reply to Mr. LABOUCHERE,
Mr. HENLEY said no dccument had been received
by the Hanoverian Government at the Board of Trade
respecting the working of the navigation-laws.
COUNTY COURTS.

Mr. M'CULLAGH wished to ask the Secretary for
the Home Department, whether, considering the in-
creased and increasing duties of the judges of the county
courts, her Majesty's Government contemplate proposing
that anyiaugmentation should take place,iu their salaries.
Mr. WALPOLE said the House was aware that
the judges of the county courts were paid 1,0001.
a year, the Treasury having power to raise
their salaries to 1,200/. As a general rule,
the Government did not think it advisable
to augment the salaries, but it was open fur future con-
sideration, whether in some districts, where the labours
of the courts were more continuous than others, it might
not be advisable to increase the salaries.
NEW ZEALAND.
Mr. MANGLES wished to ask the Secretary for the
Colonies whether it is the intention of the Government
to act, during the present sessien, ripen the intimation
given in her Majesty's Speech, by bringing in any mea-
sure' with a view to confer representative institutions
upoa the colonists of New Zealand.
Sir J. PAKINUTON said he had not lost sight of the
subject, and, as it was both for the interest of the
mother country and the colony itself that the
wishes of the colonists should be complied with, he
begged to give notice that as soon after Easter as pos-
sible ho should ask for leave to bring in a Bill to confer
representative instNEWSPAitutions upon
PER STAMP. the colonies.—(Hear.)

Mr. SCHOLEFIELD wished to ask the Chancellor
of the Exchequer whether, with a view to put an end
to prevailing uncertainty as to the right of parties
to
unstamped monthly periodicals, the present
theissue
law advisers of the Crown have yet conferred with
their predecessors on the subject of the decision of the
Judges in the case of " The Queen against the pub-
lishers of the Household Narrative of Current Events,"
and whether the Government is now prepared to state
what course it intends to pursue with reference to that
decision ?
Sir F. THESIGER said he could answer the question.
The late law officers of the Crown, as well as Mr. Jus-
tice Crompton, took the same view of the question as
the Learned Judge who dissented from the judgment in
the Court of Exchequer, and as that judgment was
highly unsatisfactory, it was intended to institute further
proceedingp, with the view of carrying the matter into
a court of error.
