ANSWER TO DISSENTERS' MEMORIAL.—The
memorial to Lord John Russell, respecting the imprison-
ment of two Dissenters in Carmarthen gaol, which was sent
from the Associated Dissenting Ministers of Manchester, a
short time ago, has received the following reply :.—Whitc-
hall, Jan. 7, 1839.—Sir, I have the honour to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of the 2d instant, transmitting the
memorial of the Associated Dissenting Ministers of the three
denominations in Manchester, relative to tie case of a mem-
ber of a Dissenting congregation, confined in Carmarthen

Lave Lc H he, Sir, ...one

ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY.—The ordi-
nary meeting was held on Friday evening. F. Bailey,
Esq., F.R.S., President, in the chair. A letter was read
from Professor Bessels, of Berlin, containing some correc-
tions in reference to his observations on the parallax of the
fixed star, or Cygnus, made at a late meeting. He had
also made a series of observations on the late comet, which
he could only follow through one night when he lost it alto-
gether. He also expressed his opinion that large reflecting
telescopes were superior to achromatic as susceptible of
greater mathematical accuracy, and he suggested that har-
dened steel might be used in preference to the ordinary
metallic reflectors. A catalogue was next read of 760 fixed
stars, observed at Caulbridge by Professor Airey. A
paper was next read from Mr. Henderson, consisting of
observations on the parallax of the double star, or Centaura,
made at the Observatory of the Cape of Good Hope, in
which latitude this star is always seen above the horizon.
The next communication was from the Rev Dr. Pearson,
on the obliquity of the ecliptic, the author cotutnencing with
an analysis of the views of Dr. Bradley, the first accurate
observer upon the subject. His principal deviation from
former calculators was, that the taking into consideration
the latitude, or co-latitude, of the places at which observa-
tions were made, was of no consequence in the inquiry.
The President next made some remarks on the annular
eclii,re of the sun in 1836, to which he had previously
drawn the attention of the members. In his paper on the
subject, he bad noticed the singular appearance of luminous
lines diverging from the edge of the sun to that of the
moon, as seen by him in Scotland. Analogous appearances
had also been observed last September, in the United
States, at the annular eclipse, respecting which he hoped
that further accounts would be read at a future meeting.
EXTRAORDINARY CHEMICAL AND OPTICAL
DISCOVERY.—At the last sitting of the Academy of
Sciences M. Arago announced one of the most important
discoveries in the fine arts that have distinguished the pre-
sent century, the author of which has already acquired
universal reputation by his miraculous diorama—M. Da-
guerre. It is well known that certain chemical substances,
such as chlorate of silver, have the property of changing
their colour by the mere contact of light ; and it is by a
combination of this nature that M. Daguerre has succeeded
in fixing upon paper prepared with it the rays that are
directed on the table of the camera obscura, and rendering
the optical tableau permanent. The exact representation
of whatever objects this instrument is directed to is, as every
body is aware, thrown down with vivid colours upon the
white table prepared to receive them, and the rays of light
that are thus reflected have the power of acting in the way
above alluded to on chlorate of silver, or certain prepa-
rations of it. In this manner an exact representation in
light and shade of whatever object may be wished to be
viewed is obtained with the precise accuracy of Nature her-
self, and it is stated to have all the softness of a fine aqua-
tint engraving. M. Daguerre had made this discovery
some years ago, but he had not then succeeded in making
the alteration of colour permanent on the chemical sub-
stance. This main desideratum he has now accomplished,
and in this manner has been able, among other instances,
to make a permanent chemical representation of the Louvre,
taken from the Pont des Arts. M. Arago, in commenting
upon this most extraordinary discovery, observed that a
patent would be by no means able to preserve the rights of
the discoverer sufficiently to reward him for his efforts ; and
he therefore urged the propriety of an application being
made to the legislature for a grant of public money as a re-
compense. M. . Biot, on the same occasion, compared M.
Daguerre's discovery to the retina of the eye, the objects
being represented on one and the other surface with almost
equal accuracy.

Such was the violence of the storm on Monday
morning that salt from the sea was brought to a distance of
at least 70 miles from the coast ; and not only in Halifax,
but also in Bradford (still farther east), the windows which
faced the west were visibly encrusted with saline matter.
It will be seen, from the remarks which we have extracted
from the Manchester Guardian, that this phenomenon
attracted considerable attention in that neighbourhood ; and
the Bradford Observer states that " the incrustation of this
saline matter was the thickness of cartridge paper on the
windows of J. G. flor,f dl, Esq." We have been informed
that at Cla) ton Heights, so much was the snow mixed with,
saline particles, that, on Tuesday, a man who had recently
killed a pig, was induced to collect a quantity, in order to
try its effects in the curing of a portion of the carcase of the
swine, to the great amusement of a number of jocular
" natives."—Halifax Express.
THE LONDON CLUBS ECLIPSED.—AII Paris will.
talk of an event which is to take place on the 15th of thin
month—the opening of the drawing-rooms of the new club
"Le Cercle des Deux Mondes." It has been established
in the splendid Hotel Farina, Rue Richelieu, which -Loin-
tier, the restaurateur, formerly occupied. The rooms have
been furnished with arch-royal magnificence, and displays
gorgeousness of which the wonders of the " Arabian Tales
can afford scarcely an idea. In the fifteen spacious salons
of the " Cercle des Deux Mondes" are collected the richest
and softest carpets of the East—the most sumptuous silks
and gold tissues of Persia—the most costly velvets of Lyons
—the most precious marbles and bronzes of Venice and,
Florence—the most voluptuous divans to be found in the
Constantinople harems—the most convenient arm-chairs of
all descriptions supplied by England, and, whatever articles
of furniture the taste and elegance of France yield—never
were the art of furnishing and the science of comforts car-
ried to such a degree of refinement and perfection. Every
imaginable object of entertainment and amusement has
been procured that can make time pass agreeably ; to de-
tail the library of 3,000 volumes, the billiard and other
tables, &e.; to describe the kitchens adapted to all tastes
and appetites, the exquisite cellar of wines, the warming in
the style of the Russian palaces, and the lighting a earn°,
as in the festivities of Naples and Venice, &c., would be to
prevent one's believing that all this is to be enjoyed at the
moderate subscription of 200 francs a year. We fear not
to assert that the " Cercle des Deux Mondes" is destined
to bring about a revolution in the amusements of Parisiam
society, and to present to the world an establishment far
superior to the London clubs.

At Hatton-garden Office on Tuesday a Monmouth-
street Jew was ordered to give up a great-coat which a
gentleman identified as having been stolen from his ho-ase-
The Jew protested he had given 12.5. for the coat in ars
" Lonest and fair way" of trade, and declared that if equal
justice were dispensed, his brother-salesmen of Holywell-
street and Rosemary-lane might as well shut up shop.

The Leicestershire Mercury observes, " Every one
says (and what every one says must be true) tht.t Govern-
ment cannot stand its ground through the next Session
unless it identifies itself with the repeal of the Corn laws ;
but the Ministerial organs do not condescend to inform us
of the intentions of Government with respect to those
iniquitous restrictions."
