POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.
As the subject of submarine operations is one at
he present moment of some importance, a few obser-
vations on the science may not be uninteresting to
our readers, particularly as we shall give a descrip-
tion of a very useful and ingenious piece of apparatus
which has recently made its appearance, and promises
to be of very considerable advantage to all persons
engaged in that hazardous occupation. From the
cumbrous size of the diving-bell its utility to the pur-
poses of submarine research was but limited, and until
the introduction of the diving-helmet much remained
to be done. This apparatus, as is well known, con-
sists of a cap or helmet, into which is inserted a-tube,
by means of which the diver, when under water, is
supplied with the necessary quantum of air, and this
supply is necessarily driven into the helmet from air-
pumps, considerable pressure being requisite to over-
come the resistance opposed by the water, which
would, if an opening in the helmet were permitted, of
course fill it, and drown the diver. From this circum-
stance up to the present period it has not been found
possible to communicate verbally with him whilst at
his occupation under water, the only means existing
for making known the wishes of either party being
by signals, a method which is evident to every person
must be in many cases of little value, nay, from a
signal being misunderstood, the most lamentable con-
sequences might ensue. The invention alluded to
consists in the application of a membrane to the orifice
of a tube placed in such a manner that the vibration
of the atmosphere enables a conversation to be carried
on between the man at the bottom and those above, by
the action on the tympanum of the ear. We believe
it is the invention of a Bristol gentleman, named
Hyde, to whom much honour is due for so simple and
important a discovery. The apparatus is daily exhi-
bited in operation in the water at the Polytechnic
institution, and will shortly be applied to the diving-
bell of that establishment.

THE MONEY PRESSURE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING POST.
Sir,—Five months ago (viz., on the 4th of May)
an experienced mercantile friend of mine drew Lord
John Russell's attention "to the then commercially
dangerous position of England, and entreated him not
to be misled by the opinion of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer and of those London merchants and
bankers who absurdly fancied that the worst of the
financial crisis was passed, and that the tide had
favourably turned."
My said friend also' recommended Lord John to
" discreetly prepare not only for a continuance of the
then existing pressure, but for its extension into quar-
ters where it had then been felt but slightly ; ' and
likewise suggested that the safest and simplest remedy
for the impending evil was a temporary increase in
the circulating medium through the agency of the
railway companies. Allowing them to issue 21. and
61. notes to the amount of 10,0001. per mile, payable
at the end of five years, with interest at five per cent.
(equal to a penny in the pound per calendar month),
and making each respective railway responsible for
the preferential payment of its notes ; but forbidding
the issue of any such notes without the sanction of
three-fifths of the railway shareholders, and no rail-
way note to be a legal tender unless by a mutual
contract in writing, the contract to be free of stamp
duty.
Time having proved the correctness of my friend's
forewarning, and as such railway notes would be issued
on a much more secure basis than those of any coun-
try banker, and quite as secure as those of even the
Bank of England, and such railway notes would
prove more valuable as well as more convenient than
Exchequer-bills, what valid objection can be raised
against his proposed mode of extending relief to rail-
way shareholders ? Whatever relieves them from the
present awful pressure for money must indirectly re-
lieve our merchants and manufacturers; and thus, not
only would the ship be quickly righted, but she would
be gradually steered towards more permanent pros-
perity than she has ever yet enjoyed.
Out of the hundred Members of the new Parlia-
ment said to be interested in railways could not half
of them meet and discuss the importance of some
combined effort for the prevention of still greater
mischief ?—Respectfully yours, Z ACC 1-10.

was not over until between five and six o'clock; it was
remarkable for goodness as for quantity, and was a
capital wind-up to a highly successful meeting. The
Houghton week promises to be equally attractive, the

bridgeshire, and other stakes, no less than 28 matches!
There is every prospect of 12 races per day.

A FEMALE TURPIN.—Last week a gentleman was
knocked down by a woman, on Hartside, a mountainous
ridge which separates Alston from Melmerby, and robbed
of notes and gold to a considerable amount. The lady
was:afterwards taken at Melmerby, and has since been
committed to Carlisle gaol to take her trial for the
offence.—Kendal Mercury.
The Right Hon. Fox Maule, Secretary at War, is
expected to arrive in Grosvenor-street, early in the en-
suing week, from his shooting quarters in Perthshire.
The mortal remains of the late Right Hon. Sir
Robert Gordon, G.C.8., were removed from l3almorrel,
near Aberdeen, on Thursday last, to Haddo, where the
obsequies were to take place yesterday in the presence
of the Earl of Aberdeen, and all the members of the
deceased's family in Scotland.
INCENDIARISM.-5201. REWARD.—Yesterday a re-
ward of 5201. was offered by the Yorkshire Fire and
Life Assurance Company and the neighbouring gentry,
for the discovery and conviction of the person or persons
who, on the 30th ult., maliciously set fire to a straw
stack on the farm of Mr. Charles Lister, of Colby Heath,
which communicated to and destroyed other property,
amongst which were three stacks of clover, two stacks
of bay, and a stack of wheat, which, besides some cart
sheds, were totally consumed.
THE CAMBRIDGE AND LONDON COACH.--We ven-
ture to affirm that the starting of the first stage coach
that ever took the road did not create half so much of a
sensatiop as the departure of the new coach, at ten
o'clock on Monday morning, on its first trip to London.
The street around the Woolpack Inn was literally
mobbed. The street along the pavement to the Petty
Cury on one side and to Market-street on the other. In
the middle of this assemblage opposite the court-way of
the inn, stood the new coach; yes, reader, a veritable bona
fide new stage coach, bright and sparkling, with four mag-
nificent steeds pawing the ground as if they were eager to
run a race with the Eastern Counties Railway, or any
other line or locomotive in the kingdom. Then there
was the guard with his soul-stirring bugle, playing all
manner of tunes, from the " Old Hundredth' to the
" Laird of cockpen." Each turned to his neighbour
with a significant grin, as much as to say, " Well, friend,
don't you think that a phenomenon ? Are we going
ra.the

heads ?" Then came the clang of ten o'clock from St.

I offered aeeer under pre ve•us quotatiens. eleee 4is tete.
' for the former value, viz., 2s 8d to 3s 4d, and fine 3s Gd
to 4s; at auction six cases were taken in at 3s to 3s 2d
for middling and good middling. There is but a mo-
derate quantity on offer of any kind. Nutmegs cannot be
obtained upon lower terms, still the home and export de-
mand has fallen off, and privately only a limited business
has been concluded ; whilst 13 eases 6 casks at auction
were only in part disposed of. Cloves are wanted, but at
moderato prices. Prices remain low for Cinnamon. For
Ginger prices remain much the same as those previously
current.
SneniTs.—On the part of importers 0' Jamaica Rum
a strong desire has been shown to realise this wick, and
the rates taken by them exhibit a decline on those that
existed previously of 2d per gallon, still all kinds met
with little attention from exporters or the home trade,
and the total sales for the week do not exceed 1.50 puns.
Demerara met with a dull sale, and suffered a further
decline. Leeward bland met with little attention, and
is offered upon further reduced terms; for 100
puns is 10c1 have been taken for proof
strength. East India is little required and must
again be quoted cheaper ; only 140 puns were
sold at is 8d to is 9d proof with certificate. Ha_
vannah is heavy of disposal, and scarcely worth is 6d to
Is 7d for proof. There are further arrivals of Rum.
Brandy is offered at further reduced rates, but there are
few buyers to be met with for any purpose.
INDIGO.—To. day during the progress of the sale 1,685
chests were withdrawn, 596 chests passed the sale.
Nearly the whole of this quantity consisted of ordinary
and low kinds of Bengal and "Oudes, which went off
heavily at the rates previously established, viz., 4d to 5d
discount. Proprietors bought in 213 chests.
Ores.—Although there are sellers of Linseed Oil at
further reduced rates, still the purchases made by the
home trade have been to a limited extent only, whilst
the shipping orders entered into aro unimportant.
There is a desire on the part of the crushers to
sell at 24s Gd to 24s 9d on the spot. For forward de-
livery not many buyers are to be met with ; at 25s
per cwt there are sellers. The supply is on the increase,
and will continue so as prices are yet encouraging to the
crushers. Rapeseed Oil is not much required, and holders
are less firm. Palm has been only in limited request, and
fine can be obtained at 33s 6d to 345, low to good 30s to
33s 6d; although there is but a moderate stock here, still
holders are desirous to sell. For Cocoa Nut Oil prices
rule unusually high in consequence of the scanty sup.
ply, and there being several purchases for home consump-
tion. The sales made in Olive for all purposes have
been of little moment, and the stock is on the increase,
whilst there is a desire on the part of holders to sell.
TaLeow.—This afternoon prices further declined for
Tallow, and 46s is the value of fine new P. Y. Candle
on the spot. At public sale 78 casks Australian sold at
42s 6d to 455; 142 chests of old Pctersburgh Yellow
Candle 455; 30 casks Melted taken in at 46s 9d; 68
casks Italian sold 43s ed to 44s 6:1; 510 casks Taganrog
Mutton 44s to 45s 6d; Beef 43s 6tl to 45s 6d.

APPALLING TRIPLE 3IURDER,
COMMITTED BY A GENTLEMAN OF FOR-
TUNE.
FOOT'S CRAY, KENT, FRlDAY.—During the day
this hitherto peaceful little village has been thrown
into a state of the utmost consternation upon its
being discovered that during the night a murder
had been perpetrated under circumstances far more
atrocious, although somewhat similar, to that com-
mitted by the Quaker, Tawell, some years since.
The victims in this instance are John and Ellen
Lawson, two children under six years of age, and
their mother, Ellen, a woman about 30 years of age.
The unfortunate creature who has been thus brutally
murdered has, for the last year past, lived in a small
but genteel cottage, about half a mile beyond this
village, on the road to Mary's Cray, and has hitherto
passed for a widow, being visited by a gentleman
whom she stated to be a favourite brother, and the
only relative with whom she was on friendly terms,
In consequence of her marriage having been in oppo-
sition to the other members of her family. Sus-
picion was, however, created that such was not alto-
gether true, from the secrecy with which the visits
of the gentleman in question were paid; and the
discovery of this horrible tragedy has proved beyond
doubt that the poor creature was the mistress of the
person alluded to.
The facts immediately connected with this terrible
affair, and which may be relied upon as substantially
correct, although briefly stated, are these :—Yester-
day afternoon the supposed brother paid a visit to the
deceased, and, as was her usual practice on such oc-
casions, she sent her servant girl home for the night
to her mother's. Between five and six this morning,
as Sergeant Newell, of the local police, was on duty
near the cottage of the deceased woman, he saw a
man in a dark smock-frock coming from that direction,
and as he passed the sergeant he turned his face away
as if not wishing to be seen. This induced Newell
to turn his light on, and examine him as he passed.
The result was, that he saw the other parts of his
dress did not correspond with the smock-frock, but
there being nothing else suspicious about him the ser-
geant resumed his beat, and took no further notice of
him. When he (the sergeant) arrived in front of
the cottage his attention was arrested by the appear-
ance of an unusual glare of light in the parlour, which
showed through the crevices of the shutters.
Upon going up the front garden to the street door
he discovered, by the smoke which was issuing
through the key-hole, that the place was on fire.
He instantly gave the alarm, which attracted the
attention of two farm labourers who were proceeding
to work, and none of them being able to rouse the
inmates, the sergeant broke open the parlour shutters,
and having forced up the window gained admittance.
On their entering they found the hall in an inde-
scribable state of confusion, everything being strewed
about, and in the doorway to the passage lay a heap
of women's clothes partly consumed, and two chairs
thrown over them, both of which had begun to ignite.
The muslin curtains were also in flames, and nearly
consumed, Having torn these down they at once ex-
tinguished them by rolling the carpet over them, and
also the fire that was in the doorway. This done they
went in search of the inmates, and in proceeding
along the passage the sergeant stumbled over the body
of a female in her night-clothes. She was to all ap-
pearance dead, but being warm the sergeant sent one
of the men to the house of Mr. Wilson Harris, M.D.,
for assistance. Having placed the body on tie par-
lour sofa he went upstairs into the bedroom, where
the overturned chairs and bed-clothes on the floor in-
dicated that a severe struggle had taken place. Passing
from thence into a little room at the back, he was
horror-stricken on beholding the two children, the boy
on the floor, and the girl on the bed, quite dead, and
having the appearance of their death being the result
of fits, their faces being much distorted, and froth
issuing from their mouths and noses. By this time
Mr. Harris had arrived, and having seen the poor
woman, gave his opinion that she had been dead some
hours, and from bruised marks round her throat felt
convinced her death had been caused by strangula-
tion, and that she had afterwards been thrown down
the stairs. The children he pronounced to have been
killed after their mother, and their deaths. to have
been caused by putting prussic acid. down their
throats
whilst asleep; at least such was his supposition. Fur-
ther examination of the premises at once showed that
after the appalling deed had been committed, the as •
sassin had set fire to the place, thinking thereby to
obliterate all traces of his guilt.
The place having been left in the hands of the
police, Sergeant Newell, accompanied by two con-
stables, at once started on the road to Maidstone,
from which town a number of letters, found in de-
ceased's desk were posted; and also the road taken by
the man alluded to, who passed the sergeant a few
minutes before the discovery of the horrible deed.
As the district coroner has to hold an inquest on the
body of a labouring. man (who died suddenly a few

will, back), at one o'clock, at the Plough, the
will, in all probability, be opened then, and afterwards
adjourned.

HALF-PAST THREE, P.M.
One of the constables who accompanied the ser-
geant has just returned, and states that a gentlemanly
looking man has been taken into custody on suspicion.
He was arrested in a beer-shop in Swaile,/,
miles from here. Ile had come there mucd'fatsigueewd
and excited, a short time previous to his apprehension.
His boots and trousers indicated that he had walked
some distance, whilst his coat seemed as if a smock
frock had been worn over it • and there is but little
pd n the
doubt he is the party whom the sergeant

When told on what grounds heasse wasi taken
into custody
stody he trembled, and denied all knowledge
of the transaction, adding that his name was James
Rice, and that he was a hop-grower, of independent
fortune, living at East Parleigh.

UrREAT NORTHERN AND AMBERGATE AND NOT-
TINGHAM RAILWAYS.—We understand that the amalga-
mation of the Ambergate and Nottingham with the Lon-
don and York Company was fully discussed at a meeting
of the directors of the former company at Nottingham on
Wednesday last, when it was unanimously resolved to
submit a copy of the terms of the proposed merger to
every shareholder, and soon after to summon an extra-
ordinary meeting of the proprietary, to finally dispose of
the question.
WOMAN.—In a trial at the Ayr Circuit Court of
a man who had cruelly maltreated I,is wife, for which he
is to be puuislnd by banishment for seven years, Lord
Cockburn remarked incidentally, that it was a fact as
disgraceful to the male sex as it was honourable to the
female, that during all his long experience he had neverused
once met with an inotance of a wife who had been abused
of
and maltreated by her husband, even to the
