New Explosive Material.

The accident -at—the Wyoming- Hotel on-Sunday will
probably prove to be the announcement of the advent of
a now explosive material. We have heard so much during
the war of torpedoes and other infernal machines that the
community came naturally to the conclusion, on the first
account, that the mysterious box so long neglected in the
hotel contained only one more of the destructive devices of
our enemies. But the statement of Leers that the box
contained specimens of " chemical oils," brought here with
a view to make money, and with no evil purpose, is in all
likelihood true. Leers brought the box from Hamburg,
which place he left in June. Some few months before that
a chemist of Hamburg, Mr. Alfred Nobel, announced the
discovery of a new blasting oil, which he claimed would
supersede gunpowder for all ordinary explosive purposes.
Nobel's compound produces an explosion five times the
volume of gas produced by an equal weight of gunpowder,
and, as its inventor claims, has thirteen times the power. It
is a chemical compound of thirty-seven parts of nitric acid
with one of glycerine. This nitro-glycerine is a yellowish
oily fluid in appearance. It is not soluble in water nor
explosive in fire. It detonates under certain circumstances.
The accident in Greenwich-street answers in all respects
to an explosion of this material, especially in terrific power.
It is evident that the explosive material was a fluid; there
was some evolution of gas just before the explosion, giving
out an odour that was mistaken for that of hydrochloric
acid, and when the box was let fall on the street there was
a sufficient blow no doubt to explode a detonating com-
pound. Before the box was carried out flames issued from
it, and Nobel's nitro-glycerine will burn without ex-
ploding.
Nobel's compound, though without the immense force of
chloride of nitrogen, has been found to possess great power
in mining operations. Had General Grant at the time the
mine was run under the rebel works at Petersburg placed
in it a weight of this material equal to the weight of gun-
powder placed there the explosion would have simulated
an earthquake. Ho would have shaken down every fort
that stood between the two armies and every house in
Petersburg, and would have made himself felt through-
out the territory then held by the enemy. It is difficult
to say what might have become of the two armies. This
chemical discovery is one more of the secrets of nature
secured by science; and it is still safe to say that we aro
only on the threshold of discovery in this direction. Gun-
powder, nitro-glycerine, and chloride of nitrogen stand
perhaps as only A B C in the ascending series of explo-
sive forces with which the great operations of nature have
been wrought. By their aid we may dimly guess at the
powers whose explosion piled up such ranges of granite
as the Rocky Mountains, the Andes and the Alps ; at. the
lesser powers that have torn open the mountains through
which great rivers, as the Hudson, flow to the sea ; that
have "dusted down the domes" of cities like Lisbon, and
that require such vast vent holes and safely valves as
Vesuvius and Etna. By considering the earth as ono
grand chemical laboratory, with forces of unknown and un-
imagined power operating within it according to fixOd laws,
we can gain a better conception than in any other way of
of the operations of nature that have most astonished the
world, that have been most regarded as impenetrable mys-
teries, and that have been most used by sup.rstition to
darken the human mind. —Kew York Herald.

A CANADIAN VIEW or FENIANISM.—We question
(says the Toronto Globe) whether anything so irredeemably
ridiculous as the Fenian conventions and congresses in
the United States ever attracted so much attention. Day
by day the proceedings of the convention, or such a sum-
mary as the leaders choose to furnish, come over the tele-
graph wires as though it was interesting news. Some
men can hold conventions for objects possible of attain-
ment, and pass comparatively unnoticed. But by virtue
of its very craziness the Fenian convention secured the at-
tention of the whole continent. " When I talk seriously
to you," said a parson to his hearers, "you fall asleep ;
but were I to bring a fool here to talk nonsense, you would
be all attention." That parson would think his view of
human nature confirmed if ho witnessed the amount of at-
tention given to the Fenians who aro "exhibiting" before
the American public. For surely never before did silly
people do such silly things as did the Fenian delegates in
their recent deliberations—that is, if their proceedings can
be properly called deliberations. What a fine touch of the
absurd it was to hold "secret" sessions—just as though
Fenian conspirators could ever keep secret any real mis-
chief which they might intend to attempt. On every pre-
vious occasion the informer has been as inevitable a cha-
racter in Irish rebellion as the rebel leaders themselves.
If a dozen men conspired to do a traitorous act, there was
always one of them to rush to the nearest representative
of the Government and betray the whole plot. What a
joke it is, at this time of day, for the leaders of this, the
most ridiculous of all attempts to revolutionise Ireland, to
pretend that it is worth their while to hold their meetings
in secret.

We look upon the American branch of the Fenian busi-
ness as comparatively harmless. Beyond cheating its
dupes out of their, money, it can do little mischief. In-
deed, we think it may do good, by rendering more certain
the betrayal of the plots of the conspirators of Ireland,
though they are perhaps sure enough to bo betrayed in any
event. The Fenian leaders in the State have no notion of
risking their precious persons by attempting to invade
Ireland, and if they had serious intentions of that kind they
could never manage to carry them out. If they relied
upon American assistance they would be disappointed—
for the native American has hardly any prejudices stronger
than those which he feels against the class of people who
make up the Fenian Brotherhood. His best joke at their
expense is to compare them to the negroes, and to rank
both as low as possible in the scale of humanity. One
might search Britain through without finding such bitter
contempt against those people as exists in the United States.
Fenianism in the States is comparatively harmless, because
it is never brought in contact with the object of its bate.
There is more chance of mischief from Fenianism in
British territory. In Ireland, for example, it might lead to
outrages upon the loyal portion of the population, or to
the destruction of property.
The Memorial de la Loire states that the riband
manufactory is extending itself considerably in that de-
partment. A great number of weavers who were areidletrn
fully employed since the conclusion of thecivil wr.
America. The manufacturers have received large
long dull
rgeoders
within the last week, and it is expected that th
season, of which the effects are still experienced by the.
operative classes, is finally closed. The improvement
trade is not only beneficial to the riband weavers but m
like-
wise to the lace makers. The wages of the weavers has
been increased one-third, and they look forward to a com-
paratively prosperous winter after four years of suffering.

The returns for the first quarter, ending December 24th,
will be given at the usual quarterly meeting after Lady
day. The shareholders will find on reference to the bal-
ance sheet (a copy of which was duly forwarded to every
investor), that the cash received for subscriptions on shares
and on deposit investments for the past year, amounted to
£40,027105. 3d., and that the cash received for payments
on account of land and building advances was £31,332 75. 9d.
The items under the head of " Income," with a single ex-
ception, show a marked increase over last year's returns,
particularly in the interest on advances to allottees, show-
ing the great increase in the sale of land. The permanent
income has thus been materially added to, by the
increasing disposition of the buyers of land to avail
themselves-of the borrowing power afforded by the society.
The investments in the society on the share account aro
£132,579 155., and on deposit account, £26,588, 16s. 3d.
Tho withdrawals on shares were £14,624 9s. 10d., and on
deposits £10,795 2s. 11d. A very large increase has taken
place in the sale of land, both on the old estates and new
properties allotted this year, and the committee have there-
fore been enabled to bring up the reserve fund to £12,000,
and as, after providing for the interest of five per cent. per
annum on shares, and four per cent. per annum on deposits,
the accounts show an available balance, the executive com-
mittee are enabled to add to the accounts of members hold-
ing uncompleted invested shares, in respect of which no
interest has been paid a bonus, or, in other words, interest
at the rate of six per Cont. per annum. On those shares on
which interest warrants have boon issued, an additional one '
per cent. per annum will be included in the half-yearly
interest warrants payable on the Ist of May next. Thus
every payment on shares on the register at the annual
meeting, not being in arrear, will realise six per cent. per
annum for the year ending the 30th of September, 1865.
As regards the interest on completed shares and shares in
progress, paid a year in advance and upwards (for which
the half-yearly warrants up to Lady Day and Michaelmas
are issued on the Ist of May arid the Ist of November ro-
spectively), the rate will remain at five per cent. per annum,
and at four per cent. on deposits, under Rule 45. The Earl
of Bective, M.P., having resigned his place at the board,
the committee elected, under Rule 32, James Goodson,
Esq., M.P., chairman of the Great Eastern Railway Com-
pany, as duly reported to the quarterly meeting in April
last. The following members of the executive committee
retire by rotation, viz. W. Currie, Esq., James Good-
son, Esq., M.P., C. E. Newcomen, Esq., Henry Pownall,
Esq., and the Honourable and Rev. W. Talbot ;
and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.
The ordinary quarterly meetings were duly held at the
Norfolk-street offices on April 4, July 4, and Oct. 10. The
new estates allotted this year were—The Southgate Road
estate, Wood Green, No. 2, and the Felixstowe estate, East
Suffolk, 2d portion, Jan. 11; the Sunnyside estate, San-
down, Lsle of Wight, the Roehampton Park estate, 4th
portion, and the Seven Sisters' estate, Tottenham (re-
allotment), April 6 ; the Deal estate (Government Nava
Yard), Ist portion, Juno 7 ; the Woodhouse estate, Wan-
stead, 3d portion, July 19 ; and the Putney estate, No. 4
(close to the station), Oct. 27. All the plots on the Felix-
stowe, Sandown, and Wanstead estates have been sold.
On the Seven Sisters' property there are but three plots
undisposed of, and good sales have been effected on the
Wood Green, Roehampton, and Putney properties, which
require only the completion of the works to ensure a de-
mand for the few remaining sites. Owing to the delay in
carrying out arrangements with the Town Commissioners
of Deal for the drainage, it is only within the last few days
the contractor has been enabled to progress with the works,
and the roads will now shortly be commenced. A depu-
tation of the Board, namely, Viscount Ranelagh, Colonel
Brownlow Knox, M.P., and Colonel Moyrick, attended a
public meeting on the 7th of June at the Town Hall, Deal,
at which the mayor and the leading inhabitants were pre-
sent. From the general opinion expressed, and the reso-
lutions passed, the committee anticipate that when the
estate is laid out and the works are finished, that, with
the fine openings to the sea, the extension of the Esplanade
to the main streets of the town, combined with the proxi-
mity of the property to the New Pier, Deal will become one
of the most frequented bathing-places on the coast. There
aro other schemes for the development of building at Deal,
such as the proposed docks, the railroad between Dover
and Deal, and the new short line for direct railway com-
munication between Deal and London. Increased hotel
and house accommodation close to the sea can now be ob-
tained by the conversion of the Navy-yard into a building
property. The Beacon Hill Estate, Newark, and the Leeds
Estate have been closed this year, and the profit carried to
the balance-sheet. The whole of the plots on the Plough
Lane Estate, Battersea, No. 2, have also been disposed of,
The new properties acquired by the society since the last
annual report are :—St. Austell (near the station), Corn-
wall (East) ; New Ferry (opposite Liverpool), Cheshire
(North); Putney, No. 4 (close to the station),Surrey
(East); Stafford (near the station), Staffordshire (South);
Hereford (near the Worcester station), Herefordshire.
The allotment of the St. Austell and New Ferry estates
will be commenced on the 30th inst. The first-mentioned
property is in a thriving town adjoining the port of
Charleston, St. Austell Bay. The New Ferry land is situ-
ated at Bebington, close to the Mersey, and has a frontage
to tho Chester Hill-road : it is within a few minutes walk
of theferry just opened opposite Liverpool, and the Beding-
ton station on the Birkenhead and Chester Railway. The
sale of the Putney estate began on the 27th of October.
The Richmond-road frontage has been sold, and the now
communication to Wandsworth-lane, which will be shortly
opened, will speedily develope the remainder of the land.
The Stafford and Hereford estates, both essentially build-
ing properties, will be offered for sale early in the next
year. The committee have much pleasure in reporting
that the consecration, by the Lord Bishop of Oxford, all
Saints' Church, erected on the freehold site given by the
society on the Downshire-square estate, Reading, took
place on the 31st October. A site was set apart on the
Brockley-hill-park estate, Forest-hill, for the erection of
a church ; but difficulties arose in the transfer of the
' intended ground to another portion of the estate. A piece
of land opposite the society's property having been
assigned by the Earl of Dartmouth, the foundation-stone
of the church was laid ou the 30th of October, and
the .Brockley-hill inhabitants will thus obtain the
church accommodation so much required. The committee
cannot but acknowledge the kind spirit evinced by the in-
cumbent of Forest-hill (the Rev. J. M. Clarke) in the ne-
gociations for the site. The society has supported, as
usual, the claims of the allottees on its estates in various
counties, in the registration courts, free of expense. Tho
executive committee can refer with gratification to the
returns of the last general election, which show that 95
per cent. of the allottees on the society's estates voted for
the Conservative candidates, thus proving the political ad-
vantage of the society in the extension of the franchise on
the basis of property and intelligence. The Conservative
Land Society has commenced its fourteenth year with
every indication of continuous success, having acquired
sixty estates in twenty-six counties ; sold lt.nd to the ex-
tent of nearly £416,000 ; and issued 22,925 shares, repre-
senting £1,146,250, and the executive committee feel that
they can claim the continuance of that confidence which

Mr. ADDERLEY, in responding to the toast of
" The Conservative Members of the two Houses of
Parliament," addressed himself to the question of
the reform of the Parliamentary representation, and
said :—What we have to seek for in any reform, or
any change in the institutions of the country, should
not be so much the advocacy of any special views or
interests, but that the nation should speak its own
mind independently. I, for one, am perfectly ready
to lend my assistance to any practical extension of
the franchise over the length and breadth of this
land, wherever it can be independently eiercised. I
am the last man to say that the working classes
have as much of the franchise as they ought to have
of that political power which consists of voting for
members of Parliament, for it is only a small part
of the political power which is spread through this
country, and which is possessed by every man, be
he labourer or be he peer. (Hear.) But taking that
particular portion of political power which consists
in voting for members of Parliament, I am the last
man to say that there are not many of the working
classes in this country eminently fitted to posSess
that franchise who are not at this moment in pos-
session of it_ (Hear.) I do not ask for the admission
of the working classes as a body, as if there were
no distinctions amongst them, and as if the working
classes were a body of men marked by some great
distinction from all other classes. Many of the work-
ing classes are far above others of the same class in
point of intelligence and in point of independence—
(hear, hear)--and when I say that I speak with an
intimate acquaintance with all parts of the country,
for I have had much intercourse with them in con-
nection with carrying through Parliament many
great political questions in which they have been
deeply interested during the quarter of a century
that I have had a seat in the House of Commons,
and I am perfectly satisfied that many of them are
prepared to exercise the franchise with intelligence
and independence, which I hold to be the main quali-
fications for the exercise of the franchise. But lam
not on that account to say that there are no distinc-
tions between them, and that all are equally pre-
pared to exercise the franchise. At this moment the
question of the extension of the franchise is the one
question which occupies the attention of the coun-
try, and nothing can be more important than that
gentlemen like you who take an active and intelligent,
and therefore a powerful part in politic; should con-
sider distinctly and clearly understand the grounds
on which that question should be argued, because
in arguing it there has been, in and out of Parlia-
ment, the grossest abuse of language, and the
utmost confusion of ideas. The extension of the
suffrage is generally spoken of as a synonymous
term for reform, as if no other kind of reform could
take place. Mr. Forster has been making a long
speech, and the length and breadth of it was, " vote
for reform," but he did not say what reform. (Hear,
hear.) Why, reform was preached from every pulpit
every Sunday, and when Mr. Forster says he is for
reform, I say so am I. (Hear.) I look into the
newspapers of the day to find any intimation of the
views of various men on this question, and find the
greatest uncertainty. I agree with Mr. Lowe in the
great speech he made at the close of last session, that
whilst this is the most important question which can
come before the country, the most important that
can be argued in Parliament, there is no question,
no railway bill, which comes before Parliament on
which it is not required that a man should argue
with more close reasoning, with more sense and
cogent logic, that that of Parliamentary reform.
Any nonsense serves, any cat-call passes, upon
reform—any vague expressions are quite sufficient to
go down on that question ; and no man appeared to
think it necessary to ask what reform was needed,
and what would be the effect of his proposal. (Hear,
hear.) After humorously noticing the disputes
between the three Parliamentary reform unions in
Manchester, Mr. Adderley invited the meeting to
consider how many of those gentlemen who were
triumphantly returned to Parliament as supporters
of the Ministry at the last election would stand
now. He had ventured at the last election at Staf-
ford to predict that many of the promises then
made would scarcely survive the year, and now,
before Parliament met, what had become of those
pledges of support of a Minister? There was a
great deal more buried in the tomb of Lord Palmer-
ston than those who surrounded it were aware of.
(Hear, hear.) There was one thing very clear, that
the question of Reform to be brought before Par-
liament in 1866 would be totally different from the
question as it was discussed in 1832. The Reform
Bill of 1832 was called for by the existence of pal-
pable grievances. The Parliament was so imperfect
that measures which were required could not be
passed because Parliament was not properly consti-
tuted, and they could only be carried by a change
in the constitution of Parliament. But now, on
the contrary, by the confession of everybody, no
such defect existed in the constitution of the coun-
try, and there was no grievance before the country ;
but it was boasted that every measure that the
country needs has been carried, and every
carefully considered proposal for reform was
adopted. A reform in the representation was
therefore called for on other grounds than those
which led to the Act of 1832. (Hear, hear.) Those
grounds were either that it was desired to extend
the franchise to such persons as had not at this
moment its enjoyment, and that was a very good
and legitimate ground, and was, indeed, the only
ground on which such a measure could be asked
for. On two grounds only could that exten-
sion take place. The first was that such an
extension should take place as an expedient mea-
sure, that more people should have the suffrage,
that more people should share in sending members
to parliament because of
.the spread of intelligence
in the country. It it were argued on this basis, the
question would arise how far the suffrage should be
extended. The other basis of the proposal was that
the suffrage was a right attaching to every adult
man in this country, and if the question were argued
on that ground the question would be not how far
to extend it, but why they should deprive any one
of it. (Hear, hear.) He imagined that the Eccle-
shall Conservative Association would take the for-
mer view, that the franchiseshotildboef extended

fortunately in his old age called to the task of being
the guide and head of a cabinet, one half of which
is scarcely for making any progress at all, and the
other half is for upsetting the constitution. (Laugh..
ter and applause.) He has to drive this difficult team
with one rein drawn tickling his old provocatives,
and the other rein drawn tight with the reticences
of his experience, prompting the desire to " rest and
be thankful." (Loud laughter and applause.) That
was a task of extreme difficulty, and with all respect
for Lord Russell's patriotism, and with affectionate
attachment to his colleague, Mr. Gladstone, he must
say that if the Ministry survived for six months lie
would give it immortality.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.—The Richmond Enquirer
gives a gloWing picture of the new prosperity of that city.
We are told that " the ascending walls and swiftly
changing scenes from a theatre of ashes and destruction to
Vistas of industrial monuments, grow upon the senses as
dreams grow and accumulate upon the imagination. The
merchants of Richmond, beginning the new era without
money and almost without friends, are now, by their own
efforts, regaining with sure and steady steps the path of
their former prosperity, and opening a still broader avenue
to a still more extensive success.. In. the encouraging dis-
play of the mind to resolve, the will to execute,' which
finds expression in_ the daily scenes of industry and pro-
grels about us, must be seen a future Richniond, far ex-
ceeding in all the attributes of wealth and influence the
Richmond of old.
