ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.
First Introduction to the Public of TWO LECTURES by Dr.
BACHHOFFNER—one on the Laws of Nature, applicable to the tin-
portant subject of SANITARY MEASURES; the other on the va-
rious modes of VENTILATION, in which the PHYSICAL PRO-

fined, the former in Turkey red only being realisable
at a low figure, while the best quality of Swiss prints
of approved styles in the same dye is alone saleable at
anything like fair prices. Of ordinary kinds some
trifling sales have been made at even lower rates than
prevailed last season.
Scotch Goods—Sales to a moderate extent are re-
ported in several kinds of fancy goods, and some few
in bleached mulls, at about previous prices. There
appears to be a good demand for orange dresses.
Cotton Yarn—Gray has been in very steady re-
quest, but sales have been very limited, owing to the
principal importers refusing to part with their stocks
at the prices offered, which are a shade higher for the
lower counts than at the date of our last dispatch.
The following are the sales reported to us :-12,0001b.
mule, No. 20, at 64 annas; No. 30, at 7 annas; No.
40, at 7i annas ; No. 50, at 9 annas ; No. 60, at 94
annas per lb. 5,0001 b. mule, No. 20, at 6 annas.
10,000 lb. mule, No. 40, at 7i annas; 15,0001 b.
water, No. 20, at 7 annas ; No. 30, at 8 annas ; and
No. 40, at 91- annas per pound.
Dyed yarn is in the same position as before, Turkey
red continuing quite neglected and unsaleable, while
orange could readily be disposed of at the old figure.
Cotton Thread—We have heard of a sale of 2;8001b.
No. 10 up to 100 at 1 rupee per pound.
Woollens—The inquiry is still languid, and the
sales undernoted are whathave come to our knowledge.
The prices obtained for the low and medium qualities
are a slight improvement upon what ruled last season
for similar cloth, but those for the higher are under
last season's rates :

rates. Metals have also been inquired after, and,
although the sales have not been large, sellers have in
most cases been able to obtain an advance, in conse•
quence of the lightness of the stocks in hand.
The money market continues abundanCy supplied;
and, although the Lanka still adhere to their former
rates of interest and discount, loins on deposit of Go-
vernment Securities are procurable through private
sources on much easier terms. Government Securities
have not advanced, being checked by the Company's
Five per Cent. Loan remaining open, whereas, if this
were closed, a considerable improvement would,
doubtless take place. Fur the closing of the regular
mail per Bentinck rates of cxeharge ruled from
Is. ltd. to Is. 110. for six months' sight, and
is. Hid to is. 11D. for ten months' date, but for.
the after dispatch more drawers having come forward
remitters were enabled to obtain more favourable
terms, Is. 11,141. having been accepted for six months'
paper. The extensive demand for tonnage having
continued, rates of freight have been supported, and
for London a slight advance obtained ; since the
arrival, however, of the express the tendency has
been downwards, but no actual transactions have
taken place.
Indigo—The very unfavourable reports previously
noticed from Mirzapore and Benares have been fully
confirmed, and it is now evident there will be a con-
siderable falling off from those districts. Bliaugul-
pore has closed with considerably less than was ex-
pected, the total outturn of which will not exceed
much that of last year; manufacturingln Tirhoot is
now draWing to a close, and there is tittle_chance of
its sending down mare than 18,600 mantilts, should it
even reach this figure : from the different factories in
Kishnaghur, which are still at work, complaints are
daily coming in of the great falling off in the pro-
duce of the plant, so that this district, which was ex-
pected to have made a good season, will not under the
most favourable circumstances exceed an average.
There is now very little probability of the previous
estimate of 115,000 maunds being reached, and pre-
sent appearances warrant a reduction to 110,000
maunds to 112,000 maunds, and even this calculation
may still prove too high.
Sugar—A steadily increasing demand has been ex-
perienced for all descriptions of Benares sugar ; the
finer qualities, however, !still continue most in favour,
and rather higher prices have bean paid for them.
The decline in the English markets does not appear
to have had any material effect here, previous prices
being well supported. Local refiners are still in the
market for khaurs, and the common sorts of lower
Bengal sugars ; but for export there' is nothing doing.
Exports to Great Britain from Ist inst. up to 17th
are 83,941 maunds.
Saltpetre—The improved demand perceptible for
this staple has incre.ssed, and a fair amount of busi-
ness is doing in all descriptions suitable to the Eng-
lish markets • the same remark is applicable to
China, but the demand for France and North Ame-
rica has fallen off; prices are well maintained, and
for the finer descriptions of Godna higher prices have
been paid.
Raw Silk—The operations in this staple have been
limited, owing to the small quantity at market; but
any parcels that have come to hand find ready sale at
four annas advance on previous prices. The rainy
bund is now in course of arrival, but few transactions
have yet taken place. Exports from Ist to 17th are,
to Great Britain, 332 inaunds.
Silk Piece Goods—An improved demand has been
experienced for the medium sorts of Cossirnbazar
Carahs, at rather higher rates; the finer descriptions
are also in demand, but the quantity available being
small, holders are not disposed to meet the views of
purchasers, and are holding out for higher prices.
Choppabs and Bandannas remain without inquiry.
Shell Lac and Lac Dye—The market under this
head has been extremely dull, confined to a few parcels
of lac dye of native manufacture ; in shell lac there has
been nothing doing.
Safflower—The market has been completely cleared
of all descriptions suitable for export.
Oil Seeds—For the English market there is not a
single transaction to report in linseed; the Ameri-
cans have, however, been doing business to a mode-
rate extent, and prices remain without alteration.
Niustard and Oil seeds aro completely neglected. No
export up to date.
Jute—The stock in hand of last season's crop being
nearly exhausted, holders have been enabled to obtain
a further advtince, medium qualities having 'ucen sold
at 11.8 to 12 per bale. The new crop is now com-
mencing to arrive, but only in small quantities, of
which no sales are la ported.
Hides—lnunediately after the departure of the
steamer there was an evidentdisinclination manifested

NEW LIGHTHOUSE APPARATUS.
On Saturday and Monday a new lighthouse appa
ratus, constructed by Mr. Alexander Gordon, mem-
ber of the Institution of Civil Engineers, by order of
the Trinity Corporation, was exhibited at Messrs. De
Ville and Co.'s, of 367, Strand. Mr. Gorden has for
many years directed his talents and attention to
lighthouses, and, after extensive experience in fitting
and improving the lights, has at length produced,
under the highest auspices, a system of lights so
powerfully concentrated as to promise in their adop-
tion a very great advantage to ocean and river navi-
gation.
In soliciting attention to his Beam of Light (before
sending the apparatus to the Trinity Board, to whose
liberality its construction is due), Mr. Gordon re-
quests attention to the following observations:—
" About the year 1792 glass refractors, five inches
thick and twenty inches diameter, were substituted
for reflectors, the focal point being nineteen inches
distant ; and they were to be seen in use in an Eng-
lish lighthouse as late as the year 1832. Buffon had
proposed to reduce such a refractor in thickness, by
cutting the lens into steps, so as to absorb less light. In
1811, it occurred to Sir David Brewster that a lens, or
set of lenses, might be built of separate pieces of glass.
In 1819, the late M. Fresnel proposed that the
generating sections of the rings not only ought not
to have the same centre, but even that the different
centres should not be situated on the same axis of the
lens. A few years afterwards M. Fresnel engaged
M. Soleil to construct eight such lenses for the light-
house of Corduan. In 1827, the Trinity Board wit•
nessed some experiments with a lens of the kind,
which had been made by Mr. Gilbert, under the
direction of Sir David Brewster. In 1828, that
board imported a lens from France. In 1833, .1 in-
troduced a polyzonal arrangement (both dioptric and
catoptric), constructed by M. Maritz, of the Hague.
And, subsequently, the Trinity Board, and particularly
the Commissioners of Northern Lights, at the in-
stance of Mr. Alan Stevenson, introduced the
French system extensively in England and Scot-
land. In 1840, I constructed a revolving light
for Jamaica, with Huddart's reflectors, and
without refractors. In 1843, my Bermuda
lighthouse tower had Fresnel's system mounted upon
it, contrary to my recommendation in favour of very
large prolate reflectors. In 1846, I comtructed a fixed
light, for Point de Galle, with very prolate reflectors."
Lighthouses and lights have been the prolific sub-
ject of imposition on the country in erection, as they
have been the source of the most vexatious annoy-
ances and heartbarnings to the shipowners and steam
navigation companies. The cause of this is very
easily seen and understood. There aiever was any
responsible management of them. Some lighthouses
are managed by the Colonial Department, some by
the Admiralty, others by the Ordnance Department,
and a great many, and a portion of all, by the Trinity
Corporation. Colonial lights have been specially
neglected, and those which have been attended to have
been erected at an extravagant cost, and are kept up
at a very expensive rate, and yet remain very defec-
tive. The Jamaica lighthouse, for instance, con-
structed of iron and imported from this country, has,
in fitting and kcepin.e up, cost about double the
money it ought to have been established for, and
the Bermuda iron lighthouse, although erected at
much smaller cost, was, with Fresnel's sys-
tem mounted on it so defective that the
naval authorities complained of its general ob-
scurity to the Home Government. The Ceylon light-
house, with very prolate reflectors, by Mr. Gordon,
now in course of erection, bids fair to show a marked
improvement in every respect. Upon the success of
of this light Mr. Gordon brought the whole subject
of colonial lights before Sir Robert Peel, and the
Admiralty having reported favourably on it, Mr.
Gordon introduced the matter to the Earl of Auck-
land, with such effect that the subje ct at present oc-
cupies the attention of three departments of the Go-
vernment which are more immediately connected
with the lights and the ways and means provided for
them. Mr. Hume, M.P., and others, have interested
themselves most warmly in the matter; and we have
reason to believe that the whole business of light-
houses and lights will shortly be referred to a com-
mission.
This new system of lights by Mr. Gordon is a fol-
lowing out of his prolate reflectors, as applied to the
Ceylon :Lighthouse, by saving the radiated light
which formerly escaped passed the lips of the re-
flector. This latter portion of the light which was
formerly lost, is now bent down and thrown into the
beam.

FATAL ACCIDENTS on the DERBY

AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.
BUXTON, Nov. 2.—Coroners' inquests were held
to-day and on Saturday last relative to two very
frightful accidents on the Derby and Birmingham
line of the Midland Railway, which involved the loss
of three lives. On Friday evening, about five minutes
past five, as the train which leaves Birmingham at 'a
quarter to four o'clock for Derby, Leeds, &c., was
proceeding from the Wellington station, and just
before crossing the river Dove, the engine-driver of
the engine attached to the train perceived two men
walking on the line, apparently quite heedless of the
dangerous situation they were in. The evening was
very foggy, and the driver states that they could not
have been more than 25 or 30 yards from the engine
when he first noticed them. By every means
in his power he endeavoured to' stop the train and
warn the unfortunate fellows off the line. The
whistle was: loudly sounded, steam reversed, and
tender and guards' breaks applied ; and, notwith-
standing the rate the train was travelling at the time
—2O miles an hour—it is considered that it was all
but brought to a halt when they met with their
deaths. The buffer of the engine struck them and
hurled their bodies with terrible force on the embank-
ment. The driver and guard instantly alighted, and
found one quite dead. The other was breathing, al-
though it was evident he could not live long. The ne-
cessary fog signals were placed on the rails in the rear
of the train and shortly an engine coming up from
Tamworth was stopped. By this time the second poor
fellow had expired, and the bodies were conveyed to
Wellington. They were then identified as being
those of William Cross, aged 38, and Francis Tooby,
aged 35, both cattle-jobbers, and in no way con-
nected with the company. On the evening in ques-
tion they were in partnership, and on their way to
this place (Buxton) to fetch some cows which were
on sale for the fair. Mr. B. Beswick, the inspector
of the line, traced footsteps from where the accident
happened full three quarters of a mile. The boots of
the deceased were compared with the footmarks and
were found to correspond. They had taken to the
line at the Whitmore crossing, and by this dangerous
route would scarcely save a quarter of a mile to
where they were going. They had no business on
the line, and at the crossing there was a notice to
persons not to trespass on the line under a pain of
incurring a penalty of 101. The jury, being satisfied
that no blame was attributable to the company, re-
turned a verdict of " Accidental death." The other
accident happened on the morning of the same day.
The deceased, James Walker, was the fireman of an
engine attached to a train of luggage and mineral
trucks. It left the Derby station at five o'clock, and,
as in the previous instance, the weather was very
foggy In consequence of -the greasy state of
the rails, which prevented the wheels " biting"
them, the deceased got down by the side of the
engine, and was putting some gravel on the rails- by
means of a tube rod, when he fell, and, itis presumed,
was struck by the ashpan. The wheels did not touch
him, but he was shockingly hurt. He was removed
to the infirmary, and there expired. In this case,
also, the jury considered the unfortunate occurrence
was the result of accident.

4,800 gallons, and which is said to have been sold at
31 rupees per gallon ; with 7,000 boxes at 9 rupees
per dozen. We continue our quotation of 3/ rupees
per gallon for the former, as the same is still obtain-
able. Gin in inquiry at the price quoted.
Among the minor articles of import we notice

Report of Richard Tothill, Esq., of Heavitree, near Exeter,
M.RC.S.L., for 1847.
" I have now for twelve years conducted the Exeter Hygeian Dis-
trensarY wherein the poor of Exeter and its neighbourhood have been
4,l,ted gratuitously with Mr. Istorison's purely confirmed Mdicine
British College of Health, and I am still morein my
hundreds opinion (from practical experience, not in one or two cases, but in
, that the Hygeian system is founded in truth. 7he cases
'ltch have been cured by that excellent medicine have not been of
iite,:ntrtion character, being, as I may say, the incurables of the hea-
p 4,1 s at Exeter, it being only after trying all sorts of treatment, that

The specimen light exhibited on Monday was a
single one of great concentrated power; and although
the light was only about an inch in diameter from a
common Argand lamp, its dazzling brilliancy was
scarcely subdued at a distance of fifty yards. Mr.
Gordon says he combines a very prolate reflector and
the refractor of Sir David Brewster deprived of its
central portion ; and by this system, says he, " I am
enabled to throw into a beam nearly 27-28ths of the
whole light generated by an Argand lamp." The
parabolic or conic reflector fixed horizontally opened
at 131 inches from the light (which was inserted
through the top of the cone), at a diameter of 15i
inches, and at 14 inches from the mouth of the re-
flector were fixed glass zones used as the refractors,
being composed of four circles, varying in size and
thickness, the inside of an even face, but on the out-
side the glass was cut away into curved steps, so as
to prevent useless portions from absorbing any of the
light.

CONSECRATION OF A NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC
CHAPEL.—Yesterday, the new Catholic chapel, recently
erected in the village of Wandsworth, was consecrated
according to the forms of the Catholic religion. High
mass was sung on the occasion, and an appropriate ser-
mon was preached by the Right Rev. Dr. Wiseman, the
pro-Bishop of the London district. Tho chapel was
crowded with an elegant congregation, by, whom a liberal
collection was made for the purposes of the edifice.

of suspn the case, and he was unable to state the
cause cf. death. The nurse who was called in after the
death of the deceased, said that the two daughters were
constantly in a state of intoxication, and frequently
quarrelled with the old lady. The Coroner would not

LIVES OF THE QUEENS OF ENGLAND. VOL. XI.
—The new volume of Miss Strickland's valuable work,
just published, contains not only the Lives of the two
popular Queens Mary and Anne (as Princess), but a
mass of extremely ieteresting information respecting
the exiled Stuarts—particularly of the Old and-Young
Pretender—derived from sources not hitherto known.
It will he found full of interest to every student of
English history, particularly at the present time, when
so much discussion has been created respecting the
Ttuvo!ution that changed the order of succession in these
kingdoms, from James the Second and his direct heirs
to his daughters, and after them to the Reuse of
Hanover. Miss Strickland's pages are also replete with
anecdotes of the leading Jacobites and details of the
adventurous incidents of that romantic period. The
Lives of Mary and Anne will doubtless be considered
as at once among the most entertaining and i coportant
of the series. . . .
STOPPAGE of RAILWAY WORKS.— OrdETS have
been issued, it is said, to suspend for a time tl te' prose-
cution of the works on the Blackburn, Mlle toe, and
North-Western Extension branch of the Bohm', Bleck-
burn, Clitheroe, and West Yorkshire R .1 at mq,r Cori
pany.—Mancheder Guardian.

-Mr. Gordon proposes to use these new " systems"
in some lighthouses immediately. For Revolving
Lights—To use one or more of these systems, each
furnished with an Argand burner, on one or more
revolving faces, according to the size of the required
beam. For Fixed Lights—To use such a number
of these systems as will light the circle of 360 deg.,
or any required portions of the circle ; twenty-four
syitems, each with its own lamp, for the whole circle,
and twelve systems for the half circle, and so on;
one system to 15 deg. For Flashing or Intermit-
ting Lights—Such combination of these systems as
the situation may require. For Steam-ship Lights,
or Railway Lights—A similar but smaller system.
The source of light being any that is known and con-
venient for the required purpose.
During the two days in which the light has been
exhibited it has been inspected by many official and
scientific men, and of the illuminati we may mention
Dr. Ure, Mr. Scanlon, Major Hyslop, of the Madras
Artillery ; General Fanshawe, R.E , of the fortifica-
tion department of the Board of Ordnance ; Captain
Fanshawe, Mr. Brand, of the Treasury; Mr. Pea-
cock, of the East India House ; Commander Miles,
R.N., of the Hydrograpere-office, &c. The system
has been delivered to the Trinity Corporation, who
will exhibit it for trial at Purfleet.

Mule Twist—The active demand previously noticed
having sprung up for this article has in a measure
übsided, and operations have been limited ; prices,
k .ov. ever, are well supported by holders.
Coloured Yarn—For German dye Turkey red
to.'sere has been a fair inquiry, but in other colours
1,1 ttle has been doing; prices remain without alteration.
Metals—A moderate amount of business has .been
d one in nearly all descriptions of goods under thp
l ead ; still the brisk demand experienced athow
this
e
E eason in former years has not been felt ;
0 aver, are well sustained by holders, who have in most
instances been enabled to obtain an advance owing to
the lightness of stocks.
Salt—Several vessels laden with salt have recently
arrived, and their cargoes have found ready sale at
the following rates :-5,500 maunds at 96 rupees per
100 ; 4,500 maunds at 97 rupees per 100 ; 3,000
maunds at 98 rupees per 100;
.1,000 maunds at 96
rupees per 100; 2,000 maunds at 95 rupees per 100.
EXCHANGE.

For the after-packet, per Bentinck, more drawers
.t aving come forward, rather better rates for remitters
Ai I ere obtained. Not much has since been doing,
p irties waiting the receipt of their letters previous to
of aerating to any extent ; the present rates may there-
fc re be quoted at 1-11 i to 1-11 i for six months'
sight, and 1-11 i to 1-114 for 10 months' date.
Freights—No falling off having been experienced
17 a the demand for tonnage for sugar and rice to
( 'mat Britain, and an extensive demand having sprung
up for vessels to the Alauritius, the rates of freight
previously ruling have been well supported, and in
I many instances a slight advance has been obtained.
Since the arrival of the express, however, there has
been a little doing, and the tendency is downward.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—The efficiency of Holloway's
Pills, in the cure of contirmed Asthma, us instanced in
the case of Mr. Henry Fluke, of Killilea, who had been
afflicted with this most distressing complaint for more
than seven years, during which period ho had tried
almost every variety of medicine, without obtaining the
least relief ; in fact, he continued to get worse, until he
took Holloway's Pills, which inestimable medicine soon
restored him to robust health and the enjoyment of the
most perfect freedom in breathing. These pills are a
never-failing remedy for old coughs, colds, and all dis-
eases of the chest and lungs, whether the patient be
young or aged. Sold by all druggists, and at Professor
