from new new graves and applied directly to fertilise our
fields, the transition is too immediate, and cannot but
shock the natural prejudices of the human mind. Mr.
Chad wick has shawn the imperative necessity of an Ca-
Lire revision Cl tsar sal-,.0 sysa in of interment—at least
as far as regards large tow ns cad populous districts ;but
the ease of Nlinchinhampt.n. proves that such a revision
is equally necessary for our villages and hamlets. The
necessity of such a revision appears to have been felt by
the great architect of St. Paul's—' For I could wish,'
says Sir Christopher Wren, ' that all burial in churches
might be disallowed, which is not only unwholesome,
but the pavement can never be kept even, nor pews up-
right, and if the churchyard be close about the church,
this is also inconvenient, because the ground, being con-
tinually raised by the graves, occasions in time a descent
by steps into the church, which renders it damp and the
walls green, as appears evidently in all old churches.'
When shall we see every parish in England with its
' God's Acre,' those secluded places of sepulture, of
which the German Protestants have set us the example;
beautified with perennial flowers, with flowering shrubs,
with the cypress and the willow, and with groups of other
trees, the favourites of our familiar fields, gardens, and
woods ; in which peaceful retreats it may be possible
to cherish those reverential and tender associations natu-
rally called up by the sight, or even the thought of the
hallowed spot in which our beloved dead repose ; a
thend
full of those types of renovation and decay, which
fields and the woods offer to the notice of the serious
and contemplative mind, suggestions which are espe-
cially so precious because so soothing to the mourner,
and so calculated to revive in his heart resignation and
hope."
Mr. Smith, in his next letter, stated the course which
he had adopted, and the opposition he had met with in
the parish—
" The patron of the living, who is also the lord of the
manor, together with the rector, were, I believe, the
principal cause of the unfortunate churchyard arrange-
ment. The former, who was present, appeared to re-
ceive my opinion with some pique and discourtesy.
Many, if not most, of the individuals present considered
that there was something in my views. I further stated
that I recognised the same uniform symptoms in the fever
of the present year, indicating that both arcse from the
same cause. The rector, who was absent, soon sent a
protest against my theory; hence we have a parochial
division, and I am sorry to say that there is no immediate
prospect of the removal of the source of the malady.
Since I first addressed you I have had important addi-
tional confirmation of the views we both entertain.
Wherever this earth has been taken fever has followed.
The patron had some taken to his garden, and the only
son of the gardener near was attacked. The result at
the rectory you are already aware of, and there are two
or three more instances."
Dr. Southwood Smith, in his last letter, remarks that
any person of ordinary intelligence and common sense
would have surely thought it prudent, as a mere matter
of precaution, to remove these thousand loads of' earth,
upon such representations. He quotes Dr. Mead, who
wrote more than a century and a half ago, about the
cause of the plague prevalent in Grand Cairo—
" A great canal passes through the midst of the city,
which, at the overflew of the Nile, is filled with water.
On the decrease of the river this canal is gradually dried
up, and the people throw into it all manner of filth, car-
rion, offal, and so on; the stench which arises from this
and the mud together is intolerably offensive, and from
this source, the plague constantly springing up every
year, preys upon the inhabitants, and is stopped only by
the return of the Nile, the overflowing of which washes
away the load of filth."
And he concludes the correspondence thus:—
" There is a growing dislike in the people of this
country to have their places of burial desecrated by
common and daily traffic, and by rude and low sports,
and those who can afford it now seek to bury their dead
in public cemeteries, wretchedly poor and inappropriate
as those cemeteries are, compared with what national
places of sepulture might and ought to be made. In
the meantime the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, in-
cluding the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Bishops
of London, Lincoln, Durham, St. Asaph, and Bangor,
have reported against the practice of burial in the chnrch
and Chancel, ' a practice,' they say, ' which appears to
us to be in many respects injurious, in some cases by
weakening or deteriorating the fabric of the church, and
in others by its tendency to affect the lives and health of
the inhabitants. We are of opinion that in future the
practice should be discontinued." One distinguished
member of the bench, indeed, is of opinion that there is
no evil in this practice, provided it is not carried to ex-
cess ; that poison in itself is not hurtful, but only an
extreme dose of it. It is earnestly to be wished that the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners had reported against the
practice of burial near the church as well as within it,
were it only for the reason assigned by Sir Christopher
Wren, already quoted, that ' if the churchyard be close
about the church, the ground being continually raised
by the graves, occasions in time a descent by steps into
the church, which renders it damp, and the walls green,
as appears, evidently, in old churches.' "

refuse to accept it. He contended that the whole pro-
ceedings of the directors were illegal, and if they rer-
si,,ted in holding the shareholders at defiance, they
would eventually have to refund the whole of the
deposits. He moved a series of resolutions to the
effect, that a committee of inquiry be appointed to pro-
tect t1;-e property of the shareholders from the injudicious
conduct of the directors, and each holder to subscribe a
Is. a share to defray the expenses.
After a few words from Mr. Wilkinson and Mr.
Richardson,
Mr. JAMES, the barrister, gave it as his opinion that
this company was a Spanish partnership, and it could
not be dissolved without tke consent of the Spanish sec-
tion of the shareholders.
Mr. UNDO said the directors still had 343. per share
in hand, and he would urge the shareholders to accept
that moiety of their deposits, and let the thing drop.

In answer to a question,
The CHAIRMAN said the actual balance in hand was
66,0001.
Eventually the resolutions proposed by Mr. Baco and
Mr. llAuvEy were put from the chair, and carried.
The meeting terminated with the customary vote of
thanks to the Chairman.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
THE MISERIES AND TEMPTATIONS OF THE POOR.—
A small withered old woman, whose whole appearance
denoted the most extreme distress, and who trembled
so violently that she was obliged to be accommo-
dated with a seat, named Sophia Bradfield, was charged
with having stolen a watch, valued at 2/. 2s. ; a watch-
guard, worth 2s. ; two seals, worth 2s. ; a watch key,
worth 6d. ; and five half-crowns, three shillings, and
sixpence, from the bed room of a person named Norman,
who occupied a house at No. 22, King-street, Old Kent-
road, in which she and ber two cons occupied a room.
On leaving his room, on the 20th of November,
he closed and locked the door, after having satisfied
himself that the articles in question were. safe. Some-
time after the door was found open and the articles re-
moved. The prisoner left that day, and in her room
was found a pair of iron compasses, with which it
was assumed she had opened the door. She was
arrested at a house in the Borough, and admitted
that want had driven her to commit the crime. It ap-
peared from the statement of the prosecutor's sister,
that the prisoner got her living by painting children's
books and cheap pictures, and by shoebinding. She
had no furniture and was in great distress ; she owed
1/. 13s. for lent. Her sons were 15 and 18 years old.
The woman transmitted a paper to the RECORDER, who
desired the clerk to read it. It stated that she had long
experienced the most acute distress, that at the time
she earned only 2s. ld. one week and ls. 7d. in another.
Her sons were starving, and continually exclaiming that
they could not bear their privations longer, and that
they could not work for the want of tools. " I could
not bear it," it went on, " and I left the room, and on
proceeding down the stairs I saw the room door open,
and took the things in order to get food for my sons."
The RECORDER—Why did you not apply for relief ?
Prisoner—l applied once since my husband's death, but
they told me I was young and able to work for my
living.
The jury found the prisoner guilty of stealing the
property, and earnestly recommended her to mercy on
account of her distressed condition at the time.
The RECORDER referred to a statement made by
the woman when before the magistrate. She said, "I
took the things because my sons were in a starving
state. I have sat often two days in that room without
breaking my fast. I could endure it no longer."
The prison surgeon said the prisoner was so ill that
she could scarcely walk, and that she had been under
medical treatment since she became an inmate of the
prison. She could not be cured for some time.
The RECORDER directed the surgeon to inform the
parish authorities of Bermondsey, to which she belonged,
that at the expiration of her imprisonment she would
require assistance. The Court always made allowances
for persons driven to crime by privation. In the prison
she would perhaps have better medical attendance than
the workhouse could afford. The sentence of the Court
was that she be confined in Newgate for one month.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
A case of some interest as regards the police force
came on yesterday before Alderman Gibbs.
Richard Addis, who lately belonged to the City police,
was brought up in the custody of inspector Merchant
charged with having committed a fraud.
Mr. Edward James Read, clerk to Mr. Clarke, clerk
of the arraigns at the Central Criminal Court, said—
It is my duty to make out the orders upon the treasurers
of the City and the several counties for the costs of
proceedings in the Central Criminal Court, and, amongst
other things, to pay the orders upon the chamberlain.
The prisoner applied to me for an order for costs as a
witness in the case of John Anderson, who was yester-
day tried for felony. Ile said he had left the police force,
and he asked me to allow him his travelling expenses.
I asked him where he lived. He said at Chel-
tenham, near Gloucester. I asked him if he
had come from Cheltenham to attend the trial.
he replied that he had last night. I asked him when
he left London for Cheltenham. -He said on Thursday.
I asked him why he had left London for so distant a
place, knowing that he had to attend the Central Criminal
Court so soon afterwards? He said, that having left the
police force, the fact was, he had forgotten that he
had the case in hand, and did not discover it till he had
gut to Cheltenham. I asked him how he came to town
by that train? He said by the secoud-class train, and
that he had paid IL 2s. 6.1. for the conveyance. When
I asked him how he could explain that, as the fare
was only 17s. 6d., he answered that the rest of the
charge was caused by the distance of the railroad
to the place to which he was going, and the differ-
ence in town also. Under these circumstances I
allowed him altogether the sum of 31. 25., and made
out an order upon the Chamberlain of the city
to that amount, and paid him the money myself, in order
to prevent the inconvenience which might arise to wit-
nesses from the closing of the chamberlain's office at the
time. The result of the inquiry instituted into the cir-
cumstances led to the apprehension of the prisoner.
Alderman Gross—To how much would the prisoner
have been entitled justly ? Mr. Read—To half-a-crown.
Alderman GIBBS—And you have learned that he was
not at Cheltenham at all ? Mr. Read—So I understand.
The journey to and from Cheltenham was got up merely
as an excuse for making the demand ; and we make
every exertion at the office to prevent frauds of the kind.
Inspector Merchant said ho took the prisoner into
custody at his residence, in Mercers'-court, St. Mary-
at-Hill, for the fraud.
Mr. Clarke the clerk of the arraigns, into whose
presence he was first brought, desired that he
he should be taken before a magistrate. He was a con-
stable in my division, and had been discharged on Sa-
turday night last. On that Saturday, previously to his
discharge, he told witness that he was going home, by
which witness understood the country, and said to Lim,
what do you mean by that, when you have a trial at the
Central Criminal Court ? You are bound over in your
own recognisances ; do you mean to go to prison ?
Alderman Genns—Did he attend the trial ? Inspec-
tor Slerchant—He did ; and he gave evidence upon the
trial, which was for stealing a coat ; and I told him to
take the coat to the prosecutor. On Sunday morning I
sent for the prisoner's clothes as he was dismissed, and I
learned that he was at home at the time.

therefore, put the case into the hands of the City
soli-
citor,e with directions to proceed.
The prisoner was then remanded.
William Hudson Blayney was brought up for the pur-
pose of being identified previously to his removal to
Warwick to undergo his trial for having, in conjunction
with two other persons, robbed the Warwick and Lea-
mington Banking Company of ten 100/. bank-notes in
the year 1845.
Mr. Mulliins, from the office of the Solicitors to the
Committee of Bankers, attended for the prosecution.
The prisoner made no defence.
Mr. IL Somerville, manager of the Warwick and
Leamington Bank, stated that he knew William Hudson
Blayney, who was formerly a clerk in that establish-
ment, and was the person named in the warrant granted
to Daniel Forrester, the officer.
The prisoner, who stated that he had not a word to
say against the decision of the magistrate, was then re-
moved in the custody of Daniel Forrester.
The LORD MAvon received from M. A., per Messrs.
Drummond, the sum of 31. for the poor-box.
A powerful young ruffian, named John Wasson, was
charged
,by Mr. Goldham, the Clerk of Billingsgate
Market with having attempted to pick the pockets of
some of the female dealers in that locality, and with
having attacked Mr. Goldham.
The prisoner was seen feeling the pockets of several
of the fishwomen, and one of them, who had known him
as a nuisance in the market, and who had just escaped
from a clever attempt made by him to rob her, corn
plained to Mr. Goldham. That experienced officer
ordered the prisoner out of the place, but received
the most awful abuse. It became necessary to
remove the fellow, and Mr. Goldham collared him for
that purpose. He, however, resisted most violently, and
struck right and left at Mr. Goldham, but was finally
shaken to a stand-still, and thrust into the station-house
by his active adversary.
The prisoner was committed as a rogue and vagabond
for a month.

THAMES.
Colonel Richard Wright, Consul-General for the state
of Ecuador, and alleged to be head of an expedition
which was said to be lately fitting out from this country
for South America, was charged, at the instance of In-
spector Evans, of the Thames police, with a violation of
the 2d section of the Foreign Enlistment Act, 59th of
George 111., chap. 69.
Mr. Ballantine, the barrister, and Mr. Shaw, of Fur-
nival's Inn, who had only been instructed at eleven
o'clock on the previous night, attended for the defence ;
whilst Mr. Potbury, from the office of the solicitor to the
Customs, conducted the prosecution.
Mr. Potbury opened the case by stating that as
Colonel Wright had only been taken into custody at six
o'clock on the previous night, he was not in a position to
call more than two witnesses, but he was of opinion that

they would furnish sufficient evii.dence to warrant a
remand.
Mr. BALLANTINE requested to know upon what charge,
or under what clause of the Act, hh client was brought
before the magistrate ? Mr. Potty-try replied, thtz he
was there under the 2d clause of the Act, charged wi;11
unlawtudy enlisting British subjects for foreign military

and naval service.
The tirst witness called was A.lr.Harvey Garnett Phipps
Tuckett, who described himself ac having been some time
since a captain in the 11th Hussars. He had retired from
that service, and about the month of October last, hear-
ing of an intended expedition to the Ecuador, he
called upon Colonel Wright, to whom he handed a
letter, which that gentleman having read, he asked wit-
ness whether he was desirous of joining in the enterprise?
to which he (Tuckett.) replied, that it would all depend
upon the rank which was offered to him ; to which the
defendant replied that he should receive the appointthent
of Lieuteuant-Colonel. Witness asked what was to he
the pay? to which Colonel Wright replied 201. a month.
Witness asked what part of Sour' America it was in-
tended to proceed to? to which the defendant replied to
the Ecuador. Witness asked if there was to be any ad-
vance? to which Colonel Wright replied there would be
an advance of two months.
Mr. YARDLEY—Under what Government did you
suppose you were to act? Witness—l understood under
the Spanish, and not under the English Government.
Mr. YARDLEY.—What became of the letter which you
took to Colonel Wright ? Witness—He put it in his
pocket, and I am not aware what has since become of it.
Mr. BALLANTINE—We hare not the slightestobjection
to the production of any document which can throw the
fullest light on this subject.
The witness proceeded thus—Colonel Wright told me
that I should like General Flores very much ; that he
i
(the General) had been n a hundred actions, in all of
which he had proved victorious. I asked the nature of
the command I should have when the Colonel told me
that 1,200 men had been raised in Ireland, and that they
should be under my command, as I was the only person
holding the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel going out upon
the expedition.
Mr. YARDLEY—Do you know General Flores? Wit-
ness—l understand he is by birth a Venezuelan, and
ex president of the Ecuador.
To Mr. Potbury—l inquired as to the uniform, and
Colonel Wright told me it was to be similar to the Eng-
lish light infantry uniform, with bright yellow facings,
which is the Spanish national colour, cocked hats acid
plumes, epaulettes of a Spanish fashion, and he himself
was to wear a sash. At a later period Colonel Wright
directed me to go to Mr. Gurney, a tailor in St. James's-
street, who had buttons cast purposely for the service. I
procured some, and found they had the word " Ecuador"
marked upon them, together with the marks " G. Del.
Pres."

\Vh
and

Here one of the buttons was handed in by Mr. Pot-
bury, upon which the Magistrate asked the witness what
he understood those marks to mean? Witness—l under-
stood them to be the title of the troop I was to command,
" The President's Guard."
Mr. Potbury—Did you question Colonel Wright as to
the officers under your command? Witness—l asked
him if there was to be any patronage; to which he re-
plied that I was to have the nomination of all the officers
under my command up to the rank of captain. I replied
I had no wish to exercise any patronage, as I wanted no
followers. I was subsequently intro.luced by Colonel
Wright to Captain Batts, as the senior captain; to Cap-
tain Rigg, as the second captain; to Captains Maturin
and M`Clean, Lieutenant Butts, Ensigns Rochford,
Hay, Hall, Lamont, and Tudor. I can give the dates
of the commissions from a note which I took.
Mr. BALLINTINE—I have no objection to the production
of any documents, but will not consent to admit any
garbled portion.
Mr. YARDLEY—How do you know that they were en-
gaged for the service ? Witness—Some of them were
engaged in my presence by Colonel Wright, and were
introduced to me as the officers who were to be under
my command. When Captain Tudor was engaged,
Colonel Wright observed to me that he would make a
very good adjutant. Oa the 29:11 of October I spoke to
Colonel Wright as to the advance which was to be made,
and on the next day he gave me a cheque for 50/.
Mr. YARDLEY—Was anything said about arms or
equipments ? Witness—Yes : we talked on the subject
several times, and Colonel Wright said that an order had
been sent out of rockets, 56-pounders, and 4,000 stand of
arms, the Colonel at the same time observing it would
be dangerous to send them out is the same ship with the
men. The expedition was in the first place to touch at
Corunna, where it was to be joined by the Spanish troops
raised by General Flores. On the 20th of November,
however, I was told that we were to go to Ferrol. The
witness then proceeded to state that to avoid all military
appearances the men were ranked under the following
heads :—Overseers, foremen, labourers, and youths.
Mr. Potbury—ln your numerous interviews with
Colonel Wright did he tell you he was in communication
with any party? Witness—Yes ; he said he was in
constant communication with General Flores, whose
agent he was, and that any rank, naval or military, con-
ferred by him (defendant) would be confirmed by the
General. He also stated that he (Colonel Wright) was
in constant communication with Lord Palmerston, who
was intimately acquainted with all the details of the
expedition, and under whose advice, after leaving Ca-
rmine, it was still to continue under English colours, as
it would thereby run leas risk from any English cruisers
that might be hovering about. I proceeded on board
the Glenelg, on the 20th of November, where I found
220 men ; they were in a state of dreadful destitution,
and making tremendous uproar. I promised them, on
my honour, relying upon Colonel Wright's word, that
they should have money next (lay; and according to my
instructions from the Colonel, they were divided into
watches, and in every respect treated as soldiers, and re-
gularly paraded as such. On the 15th of December, by
the order of the officers of Customs I quitted the Glenelg.
Oa the lath I called upon Colonel Wright with the
officers nnder my command, and asked what were his
further orders? He replied, we were perfectly free to
go where we pleased, as he had no necessity for our
further serviced. I replied, that the officers were without
money, had been put to great expense in the purchase
of uniforms, and that it would be most unjust to dismiss
them without some provision. In the afternoon of the
same day Colonel Wright sent down by Sir James Hay
0/. for each officer.
Mr. BALLANTINE—I presume I may take it, Captain
Tuckett, that you are the informer in this case ?
Exactly so.
Mr. BALLANTINE—And became so because you could
not get 650—N0; I claimed it on my own behalf, and
that of the other officers.
Mr. BALLANTINE—Come, answer my question plainly
—yes or no?—No.
Mr. BALLANTINE—Then what other motive had you?
about eleven years sine.

Mr. BALLANTINE—And you can show that ?—I can.
After some further questions, Mr. Ballantine put in
the following document :
a ship Glenelg, Blackwell, Nov, 29, 1846.
" We, the undersigned, baying seen a paragraph in
the public papers stating, under the bead of General
Flores, that there was on board the Glenelg about 250
emigrants or enlisted soldiers, most of whom have been
severely ill-treated and imprisoned in the vessel, declare
there is not a word of truth in the statement. We are
emigrants in the strictest sense of the word. We have
been treated with every kindness on board the vessel,
and no individual ever expressed a wish to leave the
vessel without his being immediately and without hesi-
tation permitted to do so."
The witness, on being closely examined as to this do-
cument, admitted that he was a party to its being framed,
and also acknowledged that he was himself one of those
who gave his assent to the following petition addressed
to the Lords of the Treasury :
"Showeth that your memorialists had taken their pas-
sage as emigrants, and embarked on the 19th of Novem-
ber ult., on board the ship Glenelg, for the purpose of
proceeding to Corunna; that the said ship has been de-
tained by the authority of her Majesty's Customs, and
now is said to be under order of condemnation; that your
memorialists, being emigrants practising different trades
and professions as stated in the returns given to her Ma
jesty's officers of Customs to ask the various questions
(a duplicate we humbly beg now to forward with the
memorial); that your memorialists are suffering much
loss and difficulty in this inclement season, from the un-
expected detention; your memorialists humbly pray to
be allowed to proceed on their voyage in the ship Glenelg,
' in which all the effects of your inem.aialists have been
embarked, and their passages have been settled for; and
a
that your memori lets if -
sent on shore are without homes
or means of living."
The witness here was closely cross-examined by Mr.
Ballantine, and admitted that, though he knew these
documents were false, he had recognised and countenanced
them.
Mr. BALLA
NTINFL—Was not your lady also lodged and
boarded in the vessel?--She was
Mr. BALLANTINE._That lady I presume is your wife?
—She is not. She passes as my wife.
Mr. Potbury here said that he supposed the magis-
trate would presume a sufficient case for a remand had
been made out, without calling another witness whose
evidence would be of a precisely similar character.
Mr. BALLANTINE—I do not see that any case has been
made out against my client which would either call for
bail or remand. I do not think it is likely that the
Board of Customs would wish to have this important
case tried at any inferior tribunal, and my client is too

high-minded and too honourable to throw upon the
shoulders of any subordinates a responsibility which he
considers he himself ought to bear. Ile is prepared to •
meet any legal inquiry whatsoever.
Mr. YARDLEr considered that it was a case which
called for whereupon
Mr. Potbury said he was instructed by the Customs to
require higher bail than was put in for Captain Sleigh,
who held a subordinate position in the expedition.
Mr. YARDLEY considered that if the defendant were
held to bail, himself in 4001., and two sureties of 2001.
each, it would be quite sufficient security.
Mr. Potbury urged that the defendant should be held,
himself in 1,0001., and two sureties of 5001. each, but the
Bench overruled the objection.
The securities were immediately entered into, and the
case was remanded for a week.

GUN-COTTON.
Some very interesting experiments have been made in
the United States with the newly-discovered explosive
material, gun-cotton. The following article, from a cor-
respondent of the Lowell Courier, is of great value to
scientific men, and will not bear condensation.
" Colonel Schouler—l send for insertion in your paper
the following account of my trials of the effective force of
gun

cotton :
These were made at the powder works of 0. M.

well-known artist, of this city, the following experiments
were made on Nov. 30. The eprouvette, or proof-mortar,
carries a 24-pound ball of iron—its elevation 45 d.-grees.
Its chamber holds one ounce of gunpowder, and about
half an ounce of gun-cotton, when that is rammed hard.
Two 24-pound bails were used. No 1 has 1.16 inch,
and No 2, 1•8 inch windage. The last, in
powder trials, falls always a few yards short of No.
1. It was found by trials, as will appear below, that
the projectile force depended much on the mode of
charging. The best effects were obtained by loosely
filling the chamber with gun-cotton, leaving the greater
portion as a bed at the breach of the mortar, on which
the ball rested. Four qualities of gun-cotton were
used. No. 1, 25 minutes' dip in the mixed nitric and
sulphuric acid. No. 2is No. 1 dipped, after drying, 25
minutes in fresh acid. No. 3, dip 25 minutes, and then
a new portion of mixed acids added, and the dip con-
tinued 25 minutes. No. 4, blasting cotton, dip 35 minutes

in the acid. The particulars of the. preparation need not
be stated.

" Two discharges, with Mr. Whipple's best rifle powder.
FFFF, were first made. The charge was one ounce for
each. No. 1 threw the ball 288 yards ; No. 2 threw the
ball 272 yards—average 281/ yards. The chamber was
then wiped dry, and quite clean, and charged as follows
with gun-cotton

" My next trials were in blasting the ledge of argillo-
mica slate, now excavating for the new canal in Lowell
seventh
by the contractors, Messrs. Boody, Ross, and Co., in
that section, under the supervision of Mr. William E.
Worthen, civil engineer. lam indebted to these persons
riot only for the privilege of making these trials, but
for all the details and conduct of the experiment.
" The first trial was in the toughest and hardest por-
tion of the ledge; the stratification is here imperfect,
and nearly vertical. The rock presented a perpendicular
face, nine feet high. 5i feet from the face a hole was
drilled, and at the distance of 12 feet from this, and 6
feet from the face of the rock, a second hole was drilled.
These holes were 1 and 1-3 d inch diameter, and about
9 feet deep. The gun-cotton was quality No. 4 in
the preceding mortar trials. It was enclosed in
cartridges of cotton cloth, inch diameter, and
respectively 2 feet 10 inches, and 5 feet long, holding
9 and 11 ounces gnn-cotton. A little dry sand was
put in the bottom of each hole, then the cartridge let
down by its attached fuse, and covered with a tamping
of dry sand, five feet over the one, and six feet over the
other. The fuse being lighted, the explosions occurred
one within a few seconds of the other. The report was
sharp, but not loud, and very little smoke. This chiefly
blew out at the fissure made by the explosion at the bot-
tom of the rock, find some appeared at the top over the
mouth of the drilled holes. It appeared to .Nlr. Worthen,
who was in a position to see it, as dust. This will be
referred to again. On examination the result was per-
fectly satisfactory to the contractors and engincess,
Messrs. Francis and Worthen, who then measured the
mass of rock removed. Its dimensions were in feet
25 se sse 9-1,125 cubic feet. The rock weighs a ton to
12 cubic feet. We have at least 90 tons moved by 20
ounces of gun-cotton. The contractors stated that they
should have used 10 or 12 pounds of powder to have
made a similar fissure for their intended steam blast.
The effect then is 1 : 8.
" A second trial was made by the same parties on Dec.
4, on the same ledge, at a place where the rock is more
slaty and more distinctly stratified, with a northerly dip
of about 95 degrees.
" The rock is here softer and shivery, and showed a per-
pendicular face of about 20 feet. The hole was five
inches diameter, 9f feet deep, 41b. ]4oz. 6 drachms, or
78 ounces 6 drachms of gun-cotton, No. 4, were enclosed
in a Vulcanised' kat-rubber cloth case, five inches di-
ameter and three feet long. It was let down as before,
by its fuse, and covered with six feet of dry sand. The
explosion took place with a very little report, not louder
than a musket shot. The mass moved was, in feet,
45 eT 10 el 9k—about 350 tons.
" The seams were wider and more numerous than in
the first blast. Beside the main fissure running pa-
rallel with the face of the rock, there were others
diverging from the hole diagonally, from fifteen to
twenty feet long. The effect for a following seam
blast was a little too great, for it required 1001bs. of
powder to fill the crevice. The blaster employed by
Messrs. Boody, Ross, and Co., said he should have used
about 201 b. of powder, to have effected the object he
wished. We ,have here moved a mass proportioned to
the increased quantity of gun-cotton for 20 : 90 : 75-
350 ; but the actual result was a greater distance moved
and more breaking up of the mass. I was in a position
to watch the smoke, if so it may be called. It consisted
of watery vapour, and of orange yellow nitrous acid
vapour. The dent-oxide of nitrogen, as it escaped from
the hole, seized on the oxygen of the air, and was
changed to orange yellow vapour. There was a faint
smell of nitrous acid about the rock. Pieces of the
India-rubber cloth were found near the hole, thrown off,
but unburned. It was, I presume, this yellow nitrous
vapour which appeared as dust in the first explosion.
The smoke lasted about one minute.
" The gun-cotton used in these trials was perfectly
dry and well carded after its preparation. It was made
from cotton carded by a machine, and was prepared by
myself on the principle of the process discovered by Mr.
A. A Hayes, of the Roxbury laboratory."

By reduces from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4311

per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 84;
and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short
being 13 51, it follows that gold is 1.17 per cent. dearer
in Hamburgh than in London. The course of ex-
change at New York on London is 1061 per cent.,
and the par of exchange between England and
America being 109 '23-40 per cent., it follows
that the exchange is 3.33 per cent. against England
But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills
at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from
the above difference.
MUNICH, DEC. 25.—JENNY LIED.—In consequence
of the extra9rdinary sensation she created on her last
appearance, as Suzanna, in Mozart's Figaro, the royal
management of the theatre, by particular desire, induced
this inimitable artist to appear once more in the same
opera, on the 27th, to the delight and gratification of all
lovers of the musical art. On Christmas eve, about fifty
admirers of the Swedish nightingale prepared a feast at
the Odeon, in honour of the queen of song. On her
entering the saloon, which was splendidly decorated, ac-
companied by the celebrated historical painter, Kaulbach
and his lady, she was taken by surprise, with a Weill-
nachtabann (the German Christmas tree) ornamented
with valuable presents. Among these was a most splen-
did broche from his Royal Highness the Duke of Bava-
ria. The entertainment was enlivened with toasts and
poetical effusions, in honour of the fair guest,
