admirable copies of Edwin Landseer's most popular and modern

A WINDY ALL.—A few days since it occurred to
the occupier of a farm in this immediate neighbourhood,
to try his luck in turning over the soil of a portion of
a potato-field which bad, last year, it seems, been aban-
doned by the then tenant, from the premature conclusion
that the crop would not repay the toil of digging, when,
101 with a little perseverance, he collected some thirty sacks
of eicollent potates. —Dover Chronicle.

IMPORTANT EXPERIMENTS
WITII SCHOENBEIN'S GUN COTTON.
On Wednesday last, a series of experiments, to test
the efficiency of gun cotton in blasting, as compared
with the known powers of gunpreder, took place in the
Standedge Tunnel, on the Huddersfield and Manchester
Railway. As the occasion was one of peculiar interest
to the scientific world, many gentlemen connected with
railway and other extensive works availed themselves of
the opportunity of being present, amongst whom we
observed Wm. Leigh Brown, Esq., of Meltham
and Thomas Varley, Esq., of Huddersfield, acting di-.
rectors of the company ; Chas. Brook, Esq., of Melt-
ham Mills ; J. A. Barron, Esq., of Stainmoor, Middle-
sex, the legal representative in this country of Chevalier
Schoenbein ; P. Brames Hall, Esq., of the Dartford
Gunpowder Works, one of the patentees of the Gun
Cotton ; H. F. Mackworth, Esq., resident engineer ;
Morland Jee, Esq., and R. W. \Viill, assistant engineers;
W. A. Pardon, Esq., principal 'engineer, under Mr.
Brunell, on the Dublin and Wicklow Railway ; Thomas
Nicholson, Esq., contractor of the tunnel ; Mr. Clark,
of Liverpool, and many other gentlenien, who take a
lively interest in scientifio pursuits.
The place selected for the experiments is in the midst
of the great Yorkshire chain of hills between Hudders-
field and Manchester, where a tunnel is now construct-
ing through huge beds and masses of millstone grit, and
which, when completed, will be the longest in existence.
The rocks, which are situated at a depth of 155 yards
below the surface of the mountain, consist entirely of
close grained quartz, of which some idea may be formed
by the fact that in 110 yards of the tunnel nowcompleted,
no fissure or joint is perceptible in the whole length. At
the same time, therefore, that it afforded the surest test
to the power of the gun-cotton, a more distinct compa-
rative test could not be instituted between its powers and
that of gunpowder. A rough estimate having been
made with firearms of the relative strength of those ex-
plosive compounds, a charge of gun-cotton having the
same effect on a wooden target as six times its weight in
gunpowder. Holes were drilled 2 inches, 1i inches,
and 11 inches diameter in the millstone grit, and the
charges of gun-cotton varied-fedi-I-6th to 1-3 d of the
weight of powder ordinarily made use of in blasting.
Cartridges, containing the gun-cotton, were dropped into
holes, with the patent fuse attached, and the quantities
varied from 10 ounces in the larger, to 6 ounces in the
smaller tubes: the quantity cf gunpowder employed for
similar blasts varying from 1 to 3 pounds.
The shots prepared in the tunnel were twelve in
number, 10 being charged with gun-cotton, and Nos.
4 and 11 with gunpowder. The shots numbered 2 and
7 in the south headings, and 12 in the north heading,
were declared by Mr. Nicholson, the contractors of the
works, previous to their being fired, to be those on
which the test of the strength of the gun-cotton com-
pared with that of gunpowder would be most certain,
both as to charge and position. No. 2 was charged
with 10 oz. of gun-cotton, and did wondeeful execution,
exceeding in everything the expectations of both the en-
gineers and miners. No. 7 was charged with 11 ounces
gunecottoieand did the same work as six ounces of gun
powder would have done. The crowning experiment:
were Nos. 11 and 12 in the north heading. No, 12 was
charged with 16 ounces of gun-cotton against 3 pounds
4 ounces of gunpowder in No. 11. The shots exceeded
anything the engineers or miners hid before tested.
The gun-cotton exploded first, and threw against the
side of the heading, and broke into nine pieces, 220
cubic feet of rock, or about fifteen tons weight. This
shot with its connexion with No 11 was supposed to
have assisted it materially. No. 11 removed to the dis-
tance of about one yard 224 runic feet of rock, or about
16; tons weight, but was broken only into six pieces.
The following properties were eetsblished in these
experiments. let. That the gun cotton may be consi-
dered three or four times the strength of gunpowder.
2nd. That it is entirely free from smoke—a qualification
of great importance in tunnelling operations ; as the
miners can recommence work immediately after the
shots have exploded, which is not the case with gun-
powder. In works in Cornwall, where blasting opera-
tions have hitherto been carried on, on a large scale
with gunpowder, eight hundred men have been obliged
to leave their work for an hour every time the shots
have been tired. This, with gun cotton, is entirely ob•
viated. 3d. That no risk is incurred in stemming the
holes. 4th. That in keeping the cotton on the works,
and its being handled by the men, there is not so much
risk from explosion or loss from waste as with gun-
powder. sth. That it ignites with more certainty than
gunpowder. 6th. From the decreased size of the charge,
the depth of the drill bole may be diminished, and the
power more concentrated.
Its other advantage's are—that it may be kept under
water instead of in a magaaine. Schoenbein has kept it
under water for six weeks without damaging its
strength. It never misses fire or fouls the gun, and is
more instantaneous in its discharges. It possesses all the
qualities of the best gunpowder, and there is no danger
of its exploding from frequent firing. It explodes at
350 degrees.
The advantages just recited apply themselves to all the
conditions under which explosive mixtures can be.em-
ployed, so that thsre is no doubt that when the powers
of the gun cotton become generally known, that a com-
plete revolution will be effected in the use of materials
holding such a prominent position in the arts of peace
and war. We will just add in tile, a curious fact, pro-
bably unknown to our readers, that the so-called gun
cotton is no longer, strictly speaking, cotton, having
undergone a chemical change, and become, according to
the experiments of Berzelwe, the first chemist of the
age, a nitrite of lignine. There is in fact as much dif-
ference as between lime and gypsum.
In the evening about twenty gentlemen sat down to a
sumptuous repast, prepared by Mr. Joshua Hall, of the
New Inn, at Marsden ; Wm. Leigh Brook, EA., occupied
the head of the table, supported on the right by J. A.
Berrou, Esq., and on the left by P . Brames Hall, Esq.,
Herbert F. Meckaorth,
Esq., occupied the vice-chair.
The health of Mr Barron was drunk with honours. In
returning thanks he stated that Chevalier Schoenbein
wished the gun-cotton to have a fair trial, so that its
properties might be fairly tested. Messrs. flab's, of
Dartford, had not hesitated to make the case their own,
when they saw that its powers were so gigantic. Its

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL.— On Saturday, at the
Royal Free Hospital in the GRAY'S Inn-road, Thomas
Wakley, jun., Esq., performed a most difficult operation
upon a young women, named Ann Sheen, aged 20 (a ser-
vant, residing in St. bride's, Fleet-street), for a gangrened
fistula. The ether was administered in the presence of Dr.
Gardiner, Mr. John Coachenall, M.D., Mr. T. W. Cooke, the
house surgeon, Mr. J. R. Hall, Dr. Peacock, &e. Not the
slightest sensation of pain was apparent, as evinced by the
patient, who is now doing well in one of the wards of the
hospital.
ABRAHAM PARKERS.—The curiosity of the inhabi-
tants of Southampton was excited by an influx of about 20
Abraham Parkers, or Turkish students, from Constantinople,
who were imported by the Tagus steamer. Abraham Parker
seems to be a generic term regularly entered in the South-
ampton vocabulary for all who appear in the dress, or who
come from the neighbouring country of the renowned Ibra-
him Pacha.—Hampshire Guardian.
