£l,OOO. There is one clause in the will we quote in
his own words—" And here I wish to explain that
there are no legacies given to religious or charitable
institutions by this zny Rill,because it has always
appeared to me more proper to make such gifts in
the lifetime, and thie I have been in the habit of
a period of more than forty
doing constantly
years." daring

FigalNG ZY ELECTRIC LIGHT.—A first attempt
was made to fish by electric light a short time since
at Dunkirk. The Light was supplied by a pile on Bunsen's
principle, composed of about 50 elements, and it succeeded
tolerably
well, but the employment of the pile was attended
with much inconvenience. It was then determined to
repeat the attempt with a magneto-electric machine.
the new experiments tried at Dunkirk and Ostend
had a double object-1, to prove how the light pro-
duced by the machine would act under water ; and
2, to discover the effect the light would produce on the fish.
The first object was completely accomplished, and it is now
demonstrated that magneto-electric machines and the light
they produce are applicable to all submarine works. In
fact, this light was constant at 180 feet under water, and it
extended over a large surface. The machine, nevci theless,
was placed at a distance of more than 300 feet from the
regulator of the electric light. The glass sides of the lantern
remained perfectly transparent, and the quantity of coal
consumed were less than if it were in the open air.

Edith HuWe sailed from
Pernambuco on the 29th of February for Liverpool, and has
not since been heard of.
THE DANO-GERMAN WAR.—Mr. Wyld, on
Charing•cress, has just published a very excellent
map of the seat of war in Denmark. The proposed boun-
dary lines of the Danish, German, and neutral powers, are
very clearly shown, and the map, therefore, will be found
of great service at the present period.
