OUTRAGE AT SHEFFIELD.—On Wednesday night a tin
bottle with a lighted fusee attached was thrown into
the bedroom of William Wass, a fiiegrindcr, living in
Allan-street, Sheffield. Wass and his wife were
awoke by the noise. The former jumped out of bed and
threw the bottle out of the window. It exploded with a
noise which created much alarm, but no injury was
done. It is believed that the outrage was committed t
the instigation of the Filegrinders' Trades Union, Was
having taken more apprentices than are allowed by the
rules of the union, and having also given work to a
man who had not been apprenticed at all.
BANK PAPER.— Count Sparre, a Swedish nobleman,
now in this neighbourhood, has discovered the means of
imitating
any bank-note, cheque, bill of exchange, pro-
missory-note, or letter of credit, without the possibility
of detection •
and, at the same time, has invented a de-
scription of bank paper which does not admit of imita-
tion, removal of signature, change of amount, &c.,which
can be readily effected by him with the paper at present
in use. The question of Count Sparre's paper for notes
throughout the kingdom of Sweden and Norway is now
under the consideration of the directors of the Royal
Bank, Stockholm. The Count has already expended
upwards of 5,000/, in experiments and the construc-
tion of the necessary machinery,. and now seeks a
capitalist willing to invest a similar sum, with a
view to the establishment of a bank paper manufactory
in England. We understand that the managers of our
local banks, and some of our leading citizens, to whom
specimens of counterfeit notes and the newly-invented
paper were exhibited on Saturday, expressed their as-
tonishment at the completeness of the imitation, and the
security afforded by the new paper, to which they at-
tach great importance. Count Sparr has taken out pa-
tents for Sweden as well as for Great Britain and Ire-
land, and proposes next year proceeding to America for
the purpose of obtaining like privileges there.—Cork,

1848,
Albert,it upon his visit to
may
be remembered,
suggested that the beautiful serpentine marble of the
Lizard Rock was worthy of being applied to higher pur-
poses than mere peatesouvenirs of the locality. Messrs.
Sedgwick and Dawson, of Piccadilly, appear to have
taken the hint, having adapted this exquisite material to
the pedestals of their well-known improved moderateur
lamp and the lamp for India, which, by the bye, would
seem to owe a part of its success to the peculiar rectified
oil provided for it by its inventors. The Messrs. Sedg-
wick and Dawson have likewise devoted the serpentine
marble to a variety of other elegant uses, and for which,
it would seem, they have secured the sole right oiappli-
cation.
