FRANCE AND PRUSSIA.—The Aurnal des DebaiS
says that in the negotiations with Prussia for a commercial
treaty, France insists upon an ad valorem duty. " France'
(says the Debats) has asked, without hitherto being
able to obtain it from Prussia, an ad valorem duty
for many articles which were scarcely of a naturo
to establish the necessity of any other duty, such
as artificial flowers, furniture, carriages, &c. On all these
articles the Zollverein wished to place a specific duty. Thlo
was the first difficulty that arose: The second difficulty wa°
the refusal of the Zollverein to make a reduction on cer.toio
articles in proportion to the reductions made by France•
Wo believe that all these points will shortly be satisfac-
torily settled."

A NEW MINERAL.—An interesting paper WO
read to the Royal Academy of Turin in its sitting of the
sth, by Professor Qaintino Sella, on a new mineral disco-
vered by Professor Bechi in the argentiferous lead mines of
the Bottino in Tuscany, and which have now received the'
name of lienegkinite. Professor Sella having happened to
meet with a few crystals of this substance, among certain
mineralogical specimens recently sent to the School of AP'
plication for Engineers at Turin, examined the crystalline
system to which they belonged, and measured their
angles, notwithstanding their extreme minuteness.
Meneghinite consists of trimetric crystals, present-
big 16 different forms, with angles of 46 deg. 33 min.,
and of 18 deg. 59 rain., for the arrangements 100110
and 001101 respectively. Professor Bechi found,
by chemical analysis, that the new mineral consists of sul-
phuret of antimony and sulphuret of lead ; but, as these
two substances combine in various proportions, forming
species nearly related to each other and difficult to be die
tinguished, Professor Sella has thought it necessary to
vite Professor Ifofman to renew the analysis on picked
crystals carefully cleansed, whence it has at length beds
ascertained that Meneghinite is composed of four equlva'
lents of sulphuret of lead and one cf sulphuret of anti-
mony, with traces of iron and copper. Professor Sella
produced at the sitting several specimens of crystals of
quartz, limestone, blonde and copper pyrites, inwardly tra-
versed by needles of Meneghinito. This mineral seems to
occupy but one vein in the mines of the Bottino, and
greatly resembles antimonite, differing but little from it is
the form of its crystals.
