' known silicates, whether natural, as feldspar, mica,
clay, &c., or artificial, as glass, &c., are the results.
The common forms of insoluble glass are produced
by the union of silica with more than one base ; but,
venen combined with an alkaline base only, silica fortes
a soluble glass, the degree of solubility of which de-
pends on the proportion which the siliceous acid bears
to this alkaline base. This soluble silicated alkali (or
water-glass) may be prepared by various processes. If
sand be used, 15 parts of fine sand, thoroughly incor-
porated with 8 parts of carbonate of soda, or with 10 of
carbonate of potass and one of charcoal fused in a fur-
nace, will produce a silicated alkali which is soluble in
boiling water. Messrs. Ransomes obtain this silicated
alkali by dissolving broken flints in a solution of causti,c
alkali at a temperature of 300 deg. Fah. And, more
recently, Mr. Way has observed that the sand which he
has described will combine with caustic alkali at boil-
ing heat, also producing a water-glass.
This water-glass has been applied to several important
purposes, three of which were specially noticed.
I. To protect building-stones from decay. The
stone surfaces of buildings, by being exposed to the
action of the atmosphere, become liable to disin-
tegration from various causes. Moisture is ab-
sorbed into their pores. The tendency of their par-
ticles to separate, in consequence of expansion and
contraction, produced by alternation of tempera-
ture, is thus increased. Sulphurous acid is always pre-
sent in the atmosphere of smoke-burning cities, and can-
not but corrode the calcareous and magnesian ingredi-
ents of oolites and dolomites. It is true that good stone
resists these sources of injury for an indefinite time, but
such a material is rarely obtained. As a preventive of
destruction, whether arising from physical or chemical
causes, it has been proposed to saturate the surfaces of
the stones with a solution of the water-glass.
It is well known that the affinity of silica for alkali is
so feeble that it may be separated from this base by
the weakest acids, even by carbonic acid. According to
the expectation of those who recommend the silication
of stone, the carbonic acid of the atmosphere will set
the silica free from the water-glass, and the silica, thus
separated, will be deposited within the pores and around
the particles of the stone. The points of .contact of these
particles will thus be enlarged, and a sort of glazing of
insoluble silica will be formed sufficient to protect the
stone against the effects of moisture, &c. This cause
of protection applies chiefly to sandstones. But
whatever carbonate of lime or carbonate of magnesia
enters notably into the composition of the building-
scone, then an additional chemical action, also protec-
tive of the stone, is expected to take place between
these carbonates and the water-glass. Kuniman re-
marks—" Toutes les fois que l'on met en contact un sel
insoluble avec la dissolution d'un sel dont l'acide peut
former avec la base du eel insoluble un eel plus insoluble
encore, ii y a dchange ; mais lee plus sovent cet &hangs
n'est que partiel." In consequence of this " partial
change" an insoluble -salt of lime may be looked for
whenever a solution of water-glass is made to act on the
carbonate of lime or carbonate of magnesia existing in
oolitic or dolomitic building-stones.
This expectation, however, has not been altogether
sanctioned by experiment.- A gentleman, eminently
conversant with building materials, immersed a piece of
Caen stone in a solution of silicate of potass in the
month of January, 1849. This fragment, together
with a portion of the block from which it had been
separated, was placed on the roof of a building, iu or-
der that it might be fully exposed to the action of atmo-
sphere and climate. After four years the silicated and
the unsilicated specimens were found to be both in the
same condition—both to be equally corroded. These
specimens were exhibited in the theatre of the insti-
tution. But whatever ultimate results may en-
sue from the process, the immediate effects on the
stone are remarkable. Two portions of Caen stone were
exhibited, one of which had been soaked in a solution
of water-glass two months before. The surface of the
unsilicated specimen was soft, readily abraded when
brushed with water, and its calcareous ingredients dis-
solved in a weak solution of sulphurous acid. The sili-
cated surface, on the other hand, was perceptibly hard,
and resisted the action of water and of dilute acid when
similarly applied.
11. Another proposed use of the water-glass is that of
hardening cements, mortars, &c., so as to render them
impermeable by water.
Four years since Anthon of Prague proposed several
applications of the water-glass. Among ot'asrs he sug-
gested the rendering mortars waterproof. He also sug-
gests that this substance might be beneficially employed
as a substitute for size in whitewashing and staining
walls. It was demonstrated by several experiments
that carbonate of lime mixed up with a weak solution of
water-glass, and applied as a whitewash to the surface,
was not washed 'off by sponging with water, and that
common whitewash, laid on in the usual manner with
size, was rendered equally adhesive when washed over
with water-glass.
111. The Stereochrome of Fuchs.
The formation of an insoluble cement by means of the
water-glass, whenever the carbonic acid of the atmosphere
acts on this substance, or whenever it is brought in con-
tact with a lime-salt, has been applied by Fuchs to a most
important purpose. The stereochrome is essentially the
process of fresco secco invested with the capability of
receiving and perpetuating works of the highest artistic
character, and which may be executed on a vast scale.
Fuchs' method is as follows : ,
" Clean and washed quartz-sand is mixed with the
smallest quantity of lime which will enable the plasterer
to place it on the wall. The surface is then taken off
with an iron scraper, in order to remove the layer formed
in contact with the atmosphere, the wall being still moist
during this operation. The wall is then allowed to dry;
after drying it is just in the state in which it could be
rubbed off by-the finger. The wall has now to be fixed,
i. e., moistened with water-glass. (An important point
is not to use to use too much water-glass in moistening
the wall.) This operation is usually performed with a
brush. The wall must be left in such a condition as to
be capable of receiving colours when afterwards painted
on. "If, as frequently happens, the wall has been too
strongly fixed, the surface has to be removed with pum-
mice and to be fixed again. Being fixed in this manner
the wall is suffered to dry. Before the painter begins
he moistens the part on which he purposes to work with
distilled water, squirted on by a syringe. He then
paints; if he wishes to repaint any part, he moistensagain.
As soon as the picture is finished, is syringed over
with water-glass. After the wall is dry, the syringing
is continued as long as a wet sponge can remove any of
the colour. An efflorescence of carbonate of soda some-
times appears on the picture after its completion. This
may be removed, either by syringing with water, or may
be left to the action of the atmosphere." Not to dwell
on the obvious advantages possessed by the stereocbrome
over the real fresco (such as its admitting of being re-
touched and its dispensing with joinings), it appears that
damp and atmospheric influences, notoriously destruc-
tive of real fresco, do not injure pictures executed by this
process.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.—A. distress warrant was issued by
Mr. Henry to enforce the payment of a fine of 40s. and
costs, which had been imposed,upon Mr. E. Lucas, coal
and flour merchant, Millbank-street, Westminster, under
the following circumstances :

... .
A few days ago the defendant, Mr. Lucas, was sum-
moned before the court to answer the charge of having
refused to supply a horse and waggon to convey a poi-
tion of the baggage of the Ist battalion of Scots Fusilier
Guardr from the .Wellington barracks to one of the rail-
way stations. Other tradesmen had promptly obeyed
the directions given to them in her Majesty's service,
but the defendant, being a member of the Society of
Friends, and also a conscientious adherent to the Peace
Association, had resolutely refused to assist the military
authorities in any way whatever. The magistrate (Mr.
Henry) intimated that the penalty for disobeying orders
of that kind was 5/. Eventually the mitigated penalty
of 2/. and costs were imposed, and three days allowed
for payment, at the expiration of which (yesterday) the
money being still unpaid, the distress warrant was di-
rected to issue.

The officers who executed the warrant reported on
their return that they found Mr. Lucas absent from his
place of business. One of his clerks suggested that the
officers might help themselves to a sack of flour, but
seeing some loose money in an open desk, they preferred
to take the amount they required, and accordingly did
so, the clerk in attendance declining- either to sanction
or to oppose their mode of satisfying the claim of her
Majesty.

ArANSION-HOUSE.- -Sir R. W. Carden, in ac-
knowledging the receipt of further subscriptions on be-
half of the emigrants at present on board the Jane
Green, observed that it was gratifying to himself to be
enabled to state, as he believed it would be satisfactory
to the public to learn, that out of the 198 destitute
passengers 143 had, through the liberality of the public
and the assistance of the Government Emigration Com-
missioners, proceeded to their destination. The cases
of the remaining emigrants were equally deserving the
sympathy of the public. He regretted that the amount
of the subscriptions in hand was quite inadequate to the
effectual relief of the remaining emigrants, the funds
having been necessarily diminished to the extent of up-
wards of 501. in, providing food for them during the time
they were to remain on board, and until a passage
could be obtained for them. He (Sir R. W. Carden)
earnestly hoped that the expectations of the remaining
sufferers would not be disappointed, feeling, as be did,
that they were objects worthy the sympathy of the
benevolent and charitable.

GUILDHALL. James Brebner, a respectably-
dressed person, about SO years of age, with a cork leg, a
strong Scotch accent, and an impediment in his speech,
was placed at the bar upon a charge of obtaining money
under false pretences.
Mr. Beard, from Mr. Buchanan's office, appeared for
the prisoner, who was described in the police sheet as
a solicitor.
Mr. Kendeth McLellan said : I am a mechanical en-
gineer and generally reside at Liverpool, but at present
lam staying at 83, Aldersgate-street. About the latter
end of February last I was in Edinburgh with my mother,
when I first saw the prisoner. He told my mother in
my presence she was the right heiress to the personal
property of the late Mr. Macrae, of the Island ofJamaica,
amounting to 7,0001., but he afterwards stated it to be
as much as 36,000/. He asked me for money to enable
him to corns to London, as that was the proper place
where it should be settled. Shortly afterwards I remitted
41. to the prisoner at Inverness per post-office order, and
he wrote to ine acknowledging the receipt of the letter,
but did not mention the money. He, however, subse-
quently wrote to me at Liverpool, promising to be with me
there in the first week in June. He did not come at that
time, but I received instead a lett.er from him, stating he
was at Glasgow, and requesting a further advance of 51. to
enable him to come to London. I went to Glasgow,and gave
him 51. more to enable him to goon with our busine,s. Ire-
turned with him to Liverpool, he paying his own expenses,
and on arriving there he said he had spent all his money
in defraying his expenses at Glasgow, and requested
nve to give him more money to proceed to London. I
accordingly gave him 2/4and accompanied him to Lon-
don, where he represented to me that there were certain
documents required in the matter, such as certificates of
baptism, &c. We then returned to Liverpool, and .I
paid all the expenses except the last week's bill and the
travelling expenses is Liverpool, which he paid. When
there be said he should be obliged to go to the north of
Scotland for the necessary documents. Before he wen t
away be spoke to my mother about requiring more
moeey, and I saw her give him another 41. to enable him
to prosecute his journey. I went with him to take out
his ticket for Edinburgh, and a few days after he wrote
to me stating he had been unwell. On the Bth of August
I received another letter, stating he had returned from
Ross-shire, and that he had found the papers quite cor-
rect. He hinted a request for more money, but did not
ask directly for it. He merely said he wished to be in
possessidn of 101. to enable him to proceed, but that he
had called upon his friends in vain. I sent him no
money then, but I shortly after received another letter
from him, in answer to a request of mine that he would
join me in Liverpool, in which he said he would return
1001. in three days, if he could get the amount (101.)
that he required. to enable him to come to London and
settle the business., I received another letter, dated the
19th of August, requesting if I had any money, to send it
to him in Bank of Eng a id notes, and not by Post-office
order. All those letters wereaddressed from Aberdeen,
but I found on proceedingtluther that he had been staying
ad the tinieat Fra,erburg. I saw the prisoner at Fraser-
burg, and gave him 4/. We then went to Aberdeen, and
he there said bis money was all gone again, and that he
had none to ta,ke bin to London. I therefore paid his pas-
sage, amounting to 30g., and accompanied him to London,
and on last Saturday week he said he had called on Mr.
Martin, o e of the agents he had employed in the matter,
but was unable to see him because he was at Chatham. At
his request I then gave him 55., to enable him to go to
Chatham, and in the evening I saw him again, when he
said Mr. Martin would be up in town on the following
Monday. I have never seen Mr. Martin at all. On Satur-
day last, prisoner desired me to write to my mother, who
was in Liverpool, requesting her to allow me to act for
her. I did so, and she came to London in conse-
quence. He said it would be necessary to-have an agree-
ment, which he drew up himself, and he and my mother
signed it in my presence. He said he wished for the
agreement for his own protection. He always repre-
sented himself to me as a solicitor of Inverness, but he
has told others that be is a solicitor of Aberdeen. I ad-
vanced the money to him upon that representation, and
his statement that he could put us in possession of the
7,0001. He always led me to believe that three or four
days in London would complete the business. There
were several persons of the name of Macrae that went
out to Jamaica, but I have not heard of the death of any
of them, nor have we received any benefit from them.
Cross-examined—l gave him into custody because he
promised to complete the business by Monday last, and,
failing to do so, I asked him to satisfy me if he was in a
position to recover the money be alleged we were
entitled to, and he then said he required 201. to defray
the broker's charges, and that having raised 12/. he
wanted to know if I could assist him with the other
8/. I declined and lie then said he could not
complete the business for UR; and on my calling
upon him to prove to me that his representations were
not false, he refused to do so, under the pretence that it
involved a penalty to him of 2,0001. to disclose certain
particulars relative to the proceedings.
The prisoner was then remanded, there being other
cases against him.

- The following crucial experiment was made on one of
these pictures. It was suspended for 12 months in the
I open air, under the principal chimney of the New Mu-
seum at Berlin ; during that time it was exposed to
sunshine, mist, snow, and rain," and nevertheless "re-
tained its full brilliancy of colour.
The stereochrome has been adopted on a grand scale
by Kaulbach, in decorating the interior of the grand
national edifice at Berlin already alluded to. These de-
corations are now in progress, and will consist of histo-
rical pictures (the dimensions of which are 21 feet in
height and 24 in width), single colossal figures, friezes,
arabesque,i, chiaroscuro subjects, &c. On the effect of
the three finished pictures, it has been remarked by one
whose opinion is entitled to respect, that they have all
the brilliancy and vigour of oil paintings, while there is
the absence of that dazzling confusion which new oil
paintings are apt to present, unless they are viewed in
one direction, which the spectator has to seek for.
Mr. A. Church has suggested that if the surface of
oolitic stones (such as Caen stone) is found to be pro-
tected by the process already described, it might be
used, as a natural intonaco, to receive coloured designs,
&c., for external decorations ; the painting would then
be cemented to the stone by the action of the water.
glass.

WORSHIP-STREET.—Sarah. Smith,, a middle-aged
married woman, living in Vincent-street, Shoreditch,
was placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyncourt, charged
with feloniously cutting and wounding her infant son,
two years old, whereby his life had been seriously en-
dangered.

Police-constable Kennedy, K 60, stated that shortly
after nine o'clock that morning he was hastily summoned
to proceed to the London Hospital, on reaching which he
was ushered into one of the wards, where the prisoner's
child was pointed out to him by the house surgeon, who
informed him that he was suffering from a dangerous
wound in the thigh, which had evidently been inflicted
with a knife. Having ascertained, upon questioning
the boy, that he had been stabbed on the previous night
by. his mother, who was the wife of a stableman in Vin-
cent-street, where he found the prisoner, and acquainted
her with the nature of the charge, to which she replied
that she had not the slightest intention of injuring the
child, who had been accidentally struck with a knife
which she had thrown at her husband in a moment of
sudden excitement. The prisoner, who appeared to be
greatly afflicted at the occurrence, and exhibited exces-
sive agitation, was then conveyed to the station-house.
Emma Smith, the prisoner's daughter, an intelligent
child, about 10 years of age, stated that after she had retired
to rest on the previous night, a violent quarrel took
place between the prisoner and her father, who occupied
another bed in the same apartment. After an angry
altercation between them, on account of his not haying
supplied her with money, the prisoner suddenly caught
up a sharp-pointed knife from the table and flung it at
him, but missed her aim, and the point of the weapon
lodged in the thigh of the injured child, who was lying
asleep at his side. Her father immediately started up
and pulled out the knife from her brother's thigh, who
bled dreadfully from the wound, and with the assistance
of her mother, who' cried bitterly, and repeatedly ex-
claimed, " What have I done I " he was afterwards re-
moved to the London Hospital.
A certificate from Mr. Frederick Poulden, house sur-
geon at the hospital, was handed to the magistrate,
which stated that the child had received an incised
wound in the thigh, which had punctured one of the
arteries, and that be considered its life to be in danger.

Mr. Church also executed designs of leaves on a sort of
terracotta, prepared from a variety of Way's silica rock,
consisting of 75 parts clay and 25 of soluble silica. This
surface, after being hardened by heat, is very well adapted
for receiving colours in the first instance, and for retain-
ing them after silication.

TILE SCOTCH BROTHER&

A. tale of two Scotch brothers—more moving by far
than that of the Corsican Brothers—has reached us.
They met in Loadon ; the one rapidly winging his way
homeward from the Continent, the other rushing in hot
baste to India. One night only had they time to inter-
change endearments—to talk over old times—to conjec-
ture the future—to " take a cup o' kindness yet for auld
lang syne." But the night of their meeting was Sun-
day, and they lodged at different. hotels. Touched by
the peculiarities of their position, one of the Bonifaces
ventured nevertheless to set a bottle of wine before
them. But at the witching hour of night Policeman X
entered with the Beer Act in his band and found them
hob-nohbing with the last glasses. The tender-hearted
publican was summoned to the police court, where the CLERKENWELL.—Edivard Dent, alias Edward
magistrate laid down the law as follows :—" The inn- Mai/is, a respectable-looking young man, of good ad-

to Mr. Eyre, 5, Gray's-inn-square.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should remand the prisoner for
strict inquiries about him, as other charges might be
brought forward against him.

I THAMES.— Wm. Caulfield, 50, a powerfully-built
shin-carpenter, residing at 3, Rosetta-street, Liniehouse-
fields, was charged with violently assaulting and
wounding police-constable Merritt, 246 K, by striking
him on the head with the butt-end of a pistol. Both
the men's heads were bound up in bandages, which ap-
peared as if they had been steeped in blood, and the
constable particularly seemed much exhausted. There
was a good deal of contradiction in the evidence pro
and con.
Merritt stated that on the previous night the prisoner
turned his wife out and locked the door on her. She
continued knocking at intervals until nearly one o'clock,
to the annoyance of the neighbo•irhood. Witness then
knocked and requested the prisoner to let her in, but
instead of doing so, he came to the front window, and
began to abuse witness. He had something in his hand,
and said to witness, " If you do not go away I will give
you the contents of this." Witness still entreated him
to open the door, on which be jumped out of the window
and presenting a pistol at witness's head, swore he would
shoot him if he did not quit the street. Witness seized
the pistol, and a struggle for it ensued, in the course of
which the prisoner wrested it away, and struck wit-
ness with the stock of it on the head upwards of a dozen
times, inflicting several wounds. Witness fell from
exhaustion, and the prisoner made his escape into the
house. Up to that time witness had not used his staff.
Brough, 333 K, then came to his assistance, and they
forced the door. They found the prisoner in a shed
behind the house, and when they approached him he
attempted to strike witness with a heavy log of wood,
but the latter avoided the blow, and struck him on the
head with his staff. The prisoner broke the pistol on
his bead, and portions of it were subsequently found in
the street.

'Mr. Ingham said it was too serious a case to be sum-
marily dealt with, and ordered the depositions to be
taken, committed the prisoner for trial.
Caulfield—l hope, sir, you'll take bail, as I have a
contract to fulfil at Blackwall.
Mr. Ingham—Yes ; but I must make further inquiry
respecting you. I understand you are known before to
the police, let me hear what it is.
Bevard, 117 B, said that he was sent some time since
with an officer of the county court to serve some process
on the prisoner, who, on that occasion, brought out a
pistol and a hatchet, and used most terrible threats.
Mr. Ingham—Well, I'll take good bail ; yourself in
801. and two sureties of 401. each.
The bail was not tendered up to the time of our re-
porter leaving.
