per mile' run, with a load of 144 tons—was not favour-
able as compared with the performance of a narrow-
gauge engine, reported on by Mr. D. Gooch, in the
gauge inquiry, where, with a consumption of 47 lbs. per
mile, a load of 294 tons was conveyed. Also, when com-
pared with the working of the Eastern Counties goods
engines for the last half-year, where, with an average
load exceeding 170 tons, the consumption of coke was
only 32 lbs. per mile, taken over a distance of 529,000
miles. A comparison was drawn between the recent
experiments, by Mr. Marshall, on the large fire-box en-
gine and those on the long-boiler engine, made during
the gauge enquiry, the results being, with the former, a
consumption of 40 lbs. per mile, with an average load of
64 tons, and with the latter a consumption of 27 lbs. per
mile, with a load of nearly 60 tons. The recorded re-
sults of the work of the passenger trains on the Eastern
Counties line, for the last half-year, showed an average
consumption of coke under 18 lbs. per mile run. It was
contended that hitherto no advantages had resulted from
the extension of the fire-box and the reduction of the
length of the tubes, still it was possible that this innova-
tion might, by directing attention to the subject, lead to
important modifications of the structure of locomotive
boilers, which should possess compactness, lightness,
power of raising sufficient steam, with rapidity, for per-
forming the required work, strength to resist the
chance of explosions, and a form calculated to dimi-
nish the disastrous effects of explosions, when they
occurred, facility of repair, especially of the fire-box,
which was the part most liable to deterioration, being
most severely acted on by the fire, and also requiring
more support than the tubes, the latter being, at the
same time, cheaper and of thinner metal, whilst by an
extension of their length the diameter of the external
shell of the boiler could be diminished : the fire-grate
should not be larger than would evaporate the required
quantity of water in steam, within a given time, with
the utmost practical economy of fuel, and if that were
accomplished it was of little importance whether the
evaporating heat was communicated through the fire-
box or by the tube surface. As to the mid-feathers, it
was contended they had hitherto only served to extend
the dimensions of the fire-box, and to increase the diffi-
culties of maintaining and repairing the boiler ; and
that, up to the present time, the result of the experi-
ments upon the boiler with enlarged fire-box and short-
ened tubes exhibited rather a retrograde step than an
onward progressive movement.
In order to insure a fuller attendance of members than
could be obtained on Easter Tuesday, the meeting was
adjourned, by special resolution, until Tuesday evening,
April 5, at eight o'clock, when the discussion on "Lo-
comotive Boilers" will be resumed, and, if time permit,
a paper will be read "On Locomotive Boilers," by Mr.
J. Sewell.

`.`The great disparity between the increase in the first
and the last of these periods suggests the inquiry whether
it is attributable to the numbers boiled down and ex-
ported, or to increased consumption by the populaton, or
to both these causes. Even allowing for the cattle
boiled down and exported, the increase of the last four
years was less than that of the previous four by 230,000
head, the difference being not far from one half. It
would seem, therefore, that the consumption of this
class of animal food by the population of the colony
begins to tell upon the increase of the stock ; and this
conclusion is remarkably borne out by the ratios between
the numbers of the population and those of horned cattle
in each of the last two census years.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD

"Dr. Picktort: 's known to English readers by his frequent preen-
'al contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
ime, he informs us, that be has addressed himself to the noa-meali-
eal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if ho shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
,ewer to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
"We uromised in a former number that we should recur to this
war's, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes
with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying
on the modality of the public. The tribe of ' Quiet Symathisers,'
and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this book
could find its way into the bands of those who saffer from th com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many h indreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of.
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize--
much money.-- This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhma, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.

r rHE NESS ISLANDS. —The Picturesque
1 Scenery of the Ness must be impressed on the memory of all
who have ever paid a visit t'o the Capital of the Highlands. About
half a mile from town the river is studded with a Group of Wooded
Islands, which greatly contribute to the beauty of the landscape.
The bridges, formerly connecting them with each other, and with the
banks of the river on either side, were oestroj ed, and carried away
by the Great Flood of 1849 ; so that, since that time, all access to
them has been prevented.
An effort is now being made to have these bridges restored, and
for this purpose the sum of 8001. is required. As a place of recrea-
tion for all ranks of the community, and especially for the working
classes, whase interests now deserve occupy so large a share
of public attention, no park can be more desirable.
The Committee appointed to further this object will most grate-
fully acknowledge any donation with which they may he favoured.
Subscriptions wil be received by the Treasurer, Charles Water-
ston, Esq., Manage_ of the Caledonian Bank, Inverness ; or by the
agents for the Bark. of Scotland, the British Linen Company, the
National Bank and the Commercial Bank, at Inverness.

to the ordinary gold or bone frame. The extraordinary results of
this application may be briefly noted in a few of their most promi-
nent features, as the following :—All sharp edges are avoided; no
springs wires, or fastenings are required ; a greater increased free-
dom of suction is supplied ; a natural elasticity hitherto wholly un-
t and a fit, perfected with the most unerring accuracy, are
secured, whle from the softness and flexibility of the agent em-
ployed, the greatest support is given to the adjoining teeth when
loose or rendered tender by tit e absorption of the gems. The acids
of the mouth exert so agency on the chemically-prepared White
India-rubber, and as it is a non-conductor, fluids of any temperature
may with thorough comfort be imbibed and retained in the mouth,
all unpleasantness of smell or taste being at tha same time wholly
provided against by the peculiar nature of its preparation.
To be obtained only at 61, Grosvenor-street, London ;

CRIME IN SOMERSETSHIRE.

At the Spring Sessions for the county of Somerset
which commenced on Tuesday at Wells, the chairman
Mr. W. Miles, M.P., in his charge to the grand jury
said—" The longer he sat in that court, the less could he
account for the cause or progress of crime. From the
general ease and contentment which prevailed among all
classes throughout the country, he had expected to have
found the calendar decreased in point of numbers,' but
such was not the case." The number of prisoners for
trial are 84, of whom only two are set down as properly
educated. Appended to the calendars are some very
useful statistical details, showing a return of prisoners
committed for trial in the county of Somerset from the
year 1823 to the year 1852, both inclusive ; and also a
return of prisoners committed under summary convic-
tions to the prisons in the county of Somerset from the
year 1843 to the year 1852, both inclusive. These tables,
which have been very carefully compiled, give the fol-
lowing total results. Prisoners committed for trial from
1823 to 1853, both inclusive :
Year. Total. Year. Total. Year. Total.

A FOOT RACE. —A foot hurdle race, between two of
the most celebrated performers—Fenwick, of Lancaster,
and Patterson, of London—came off on Monday after-
noon last, in the Eton Brocas. The distance was 200
yards, over 10 hurdles. The race was admirably con-
tested, both men taking their leaps together until they
reached the eighth hurdle, which Patterson failed to
clear and fell, leaving Fenwick an easy winner. The
Brocas was crowded with sporting gentlemen, among I
whom were Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, and many of
the officers in garrison at Windsor.

" The net increase in the first four and the last four of
these years was : _

Increase. Per cent.
In the first four 420,500
In the last four lO4, 600 -2
"The great disparity between the increase in the first
and the last of these periods suggests the inquiry whether
it is attributable to the numbers boiled down and ex-
ported, or to increased consumption by the populaton, or
to both these causes. Even allowing for the cattle
boiled down and exported, the increase of the last four
years was .less than that of the previous four by 230,000
head, the difference being not far from one half. It
would seem, therefore, that the consumption of this
class of animal food by the population of the colony
begins to tell upon the increase of the stock ; and this
conclusion is remarkably borne out by the ratios between
the numbers of the population and those of horned cattle
in each of the last two census years.

GENERAL HXYNAU.

General Haynau'S -death was quite unexpected. On
Saturday, the 12th,1ie Pined the circle OF generals who
had assembled to congratulate the Emperor, at the Bel-
laria, and attracted the particular notice of his Majesty,
who addressed him on passing, with "A greeting to you,
General " (Gass rie,Herr General). On Sunday he was
at. the Mertantile Union as usual. At midnight he re-
turned to Munsch's Hotel, where he was lodging, and
soon retired to rest. At half-past one he summoned his
valet, and directed him to fetch a glass of water, as he
felt unwell. When the man returned, he found his
master gasping for breath ; in short, in the agonies of
death. Medical assistance was immediately called in,
and an attempt to take blood from the General's arm was
made, but in vain. General Haynau had ceased to be.
Julius . Jacob Haynau was born at Cassel in 17 86, the
natural son of the Elector William, and entered the Aus-
trian service in his 15th year, in an infantry regiment.
He obtained a colonelcy in 1830, and five years after-
wards was made a general of brigade. Promoted in
1844 to the rank of general of division. He commanded
at Temeswar in 1847, and in 1848 was with the Bth army
corps in Italy. In the following year, when Brescia
rose in revolt, Haynau hastened to the spot, took the
town by storm, and issued the order which he-afterwards
thus recorded in his official report : " I commanded that
the soldiers should- make no prisoners, but that every
one should be immediately cut down. I also directed
that the houses from which shots proceeded should be
set on fire." From that day forward he was called by
the people "The Hyaena of Brescia," but by his Sove-
reign, a Knight Grand. Cross of the Order of Maria
Theresa. After his retirement from active life, Haynau
showed himself very solicitous to avoid the stigma of
having ordered the flogging of a lady, but he well knew
that in lighting up the streets of 'Brescia, he was con-
signing women and children to the most horrible death.
Haynau was before Venice when he received the Em-
peror's commands to repair the disasters of, Windisch-
gratz and Welden, in Hungary, and, with the aid of the
Russian Army, acquitted himself of a mission which con-
tributed nothing to his military fame. Angry at the
surrender of Gorgey to the Russians, Haynau now pro-
ceeded to wreak his vengeance on prisoners whom his
arms had not vanquished. On the 6th of October, 1849.
he executed 13 of the most distinguished leaders of the
revolution at Arad, whilst Count Louis Batthyani's mur-
der was being accomplished at Perth under his direc-
tion. Loaded with such rewards as tyrants can besfow,
Haynau became capricious, and soon found himself sud-
denly deprived of the Government of Hungar anll-
removed from the active lists of the army. SinCe that
day he has been a wanderer in Europe, execrated wlifr-
ever opinion was free to express itself. It is stated that
the visit to Vienna, which was destined to prove his
last, was undertaken with the purpose of offering again
his active energies in the hanging and shooting service
of his Sovereign.
London, England, 1853-03-19

INTRAMURAL INTERMENTS.

Mr. WHALLEY wished to know whether and what
steps had been taken on the part of the Government, to
put in operation the act of last session for closing burial
grounds in the metropolis ; and whether any measure was
in contemplation for correcting the evils of intramural in-
terment' throughout the country ?
Lord PALMERSTON stated that the Government felt
deeply impressed with the importance of carrying into
effect the act of last year, and he had given instructions
under which one member of the Board of Health was in-
specting one after another all the graveyards in the metro-
polis, and in proportion as these reports had been received
he had taken the necessary steps for obtaining an order in
council for shutting the graveyards which were reported
to be unfit for further use. (Hear, hear,) He expected
that in a very short time all the graveyards in the metro-
polis would be closed. (Hear, hear.) With respect to
the graveyards in the country, her Majesty's Government
did not possess the same powers over them as over those of
the metropolis, and it would be a subject of consideration
whether or not in the present session the Government
would apply to Parliament for similar powers. (Hear
hear.)

ITALY.

A letter from Milan, in the Moniteur, says—
" The authorities are gradually diminishing the
severity of the police measures ; but they still con-
tinue to display great activity in their efforts to
discover the persons who took part in the insurrec-
tion of February 6. It is said that Marshal Ra-
detzky is to come to Milan, and that General Gyu-
lay is to take the command of the corps d'armee at
Veresa. This change will take place, perhaps,
when the troops shall be more considerable."
A letter from Nice, of the 13th, in the Parla-
mento of Twin, states that several persons expelled
from France had arrived there latterly, and that
at the above date twenty individuals more of
that description were brought before the police
authorities. _ . .

--In its sitting of the 14th the Senate of Turin re-
jected by 25 votes to 24 the bill for the reorganisa-
tion of the Chambers of Commerce, which had
already passed the Chamber of Deputies. It after-
wards passed a measure relating to bills of exchange
upon persons not engagid in trade. In the same
sitting the Minister of Public Works presented the
submarine Spezia and Sardinia electric telegraph
bill, already passed by the Chamber of Deputies.
The Parlamento of Turin quotes a letter from
Genoa of the 11th, stating that, according to the
last accounts from Naples and Palermo, many ar-
rests have taken place there.
