There is a report curt that the Poles have experienced a
defeat, hut, as no particulars have transpired, we hope it is not
true. All we know is from good authority that Austria, Prussia,
and some other Powers arc doing all they can to obtain from

WHY CREAM COLLECTS ,ON THE SUR-
FACE or MlLS.—'There are numerous familiar effects which
-are manifestations of the principle now explained. When
a vessel of milk is allowed to remain a certain time
at rest, it is observed that a stratum of fluid will
collect at the surface, differing in many qualities from that
upon which it rests. This is called cream ; and the
property by which it ascends to the surface is its relative
levity ; it is composed of the lightest particles of the milk,
which are in the first instance mixed generally in the
fluid ; but which, when the liquid is allowed to rest,
gradu illy arises through it and settle at the surface. Dr.
Lurduer's Cabinet Cyclopeedia, Vol. XVII.

MATHIAS, the Author of the " Pursuits of
Literature," still remains domiciled at Naples, where he
purposes to end h's &eye. This Octogenarian revels
amidst the beauties of a country, of the language of which
he is enamoured, and which he has himself adorned and
decorated with some of the sweetest flowers of Tuscan
poetry. Mr. MaTHLSs has recently printed for private
itivribution some Poems in Italian, said to be equal in
purity of style to the best productions of ALFIERI and of
Foscot o.

were circumstances connected with the affair which would
never be divulge I.
GOGGLING NOISE IN DECANTING WINE.
—The peculiar goggling noise which is produced in
cantinp; wine arises from the pressure of the atinosplicre
forcing air into Vie interior of the bottle. In the'Orst in-
stance, the neck of the betee is completely 0:lea
liquid, so as to stop the admission of air. Wlien a pert of
the wine has cowed our; and an empty space is formed
w4hin the hotile, the atmospheric pressure tortes in
hubtile of air through the liquid in the neck. xi ltigb, by
rushing suddenly into the interior of the bottle,
the sound alluded to. This effect is continually repeated
so lug a, the neck of the bottle continues to be choked
with the liquid. But as the contents of' the bottle are
discharged, the liquid, in floving out, only pat tially fills
the neck, and whi'e a stream Of wine pas,es out through
the lower half of the neck, a stream of air passes
