created into the world so wonderfully prepared for his
reeerion. The lecturer then described some of
.the
propel ties of this vital air, which by such a wise provision,
rejected by vegetables, becomes the support of animal
Lte, that supports combustion and animal heat. Man takes
carb.)n in the shape of animal and vegetable food into
his system—du: ing its circulation in the lungs these
particles of carbon are brought into contact with the
oxygen of the air, and animal heat is generated. Man
is thus enabled to support variety of climates and yet
keep the temperature of his body equable. In great cold
more carbon is required to keep up the animal heat, and
nature has provided for this want by placing in cold
latitudes animals containing much oil and fat for the
food of the inhabitants. Animals again that hybernate
store up in the fat of their buries carbon to suppott
warmth end lire during the winter. The lecturer
then pointed out the causes of the luminosity of
the sea—glow-worm, and fire-fly—change of colour in
the fur and featlu rs of animals in winter—and greyness
in old ego—cf contagious diseases% Bich arise from breath-
ing miasmeta in the air following the courses of rivers—
and allnded to the economy of nature which out of the
same elements of matter, though in different proportions,
has made the most nutritious food for man and the most
deadly poisons—the arrangements by which the original
carbon is converted with nitrogen into food—and the
establishment of Mattcnci's theory concerning the iden-
tity of muscular energy and electricity.
We, are happy to hear that Dr. Tilley has kindly ac
ceded to the rc quest of several gentlemen connected with
this valuat,le institution, and that he will on Friday next
deliver a st c.rnd and concluding lecture on the same
interesting topic, at the lecture-room of the institution,

TESTIMONIAL TO THE RIGHT

HON. EDWARD STRUTT.
Many of cur readers arc aware that after the unseating
of our late Members it was considered a matter of duty
as well as of ft cling, to present to Mr. Strutt some tt ken
of the re and the great majority of the electors of
Derby :ult. ft .r his public and private v. crth, end their ex-
treme regret that the borough should be deprived of those
advantages which she reaped from his Parliamentary
career. Some of Mr. Sfrutt's supporters suggested
that a handsome piece of plate should be presented to
him, but the general feeling was in favour of a more cor-
dial manifestation, and it was decided to present him
with a memorial breathing the sentiments of a largo ma-
jority of the electors, and reciprocating the feelings dis-
pia) ed in the excellent and warm-hearted address in which
the Right Hen. Gentleman took leave of the constituency.
The memorial was prepared and signed by a very con-
siderable majority of the electors, but it was deemed
proper to defer the presentation until after the election,
lest the enemy should impute to the Liberal party an in-
tention of influencing the result of the contest by a public
demonstration in behalf of Mr. Strutt. We are happy to
state that the time is approaching when that demonstra-
tion a ill be made, and no one can doubt that it will be in
every respect worthy of the occasion.
The writ ten address and signatures will be found in a
volume, a companied by a duplicate copy, splendidly
printed in r ore gold, upon white vellum, with a richly
chased gold and coloured border of suitable design rotted
each rege. The coats armorial of the Strutt family will
be emblazoned in their proper colour, and the Derby
arms also introduced in the border. The copy will be
bound in the most elegant and costly style, with the
armorial bearings finely engraved upon solid silver, and
the whole completed with two silver clasps, richly
chased, and designed for the occasion. As a work of
art we believe it will be superior to anything of the kind
ever executed.

It is proposed to invite Mr. Strutt on some day at the
latter end of this month or the beginning of next, to a
grand banquet, at which the presentation will be made.
Mr. Strutt's late colleague, Mr. Leveson Gower, will also
be invited to the banquet, together with our present re-
presentatives, Mr. Bass and Mr. Heyworth, and the gentry
of the neighbourhood. The people of Derby will show
that though they have been deprived of Mr. Strutt's va-
luable services they have not forgotten them; and that
they still hold, and will continue to hold, him in most
grateful remembrance. Wo will show, in the words of
the memorial, that though our political connexion be in-
terrupted, cur nearer and more personal regards will
remain strong as ever.—Derby and Chesterfield Reporter.

THE SALE AT STOWE.

BETE:INGHAM, SEPT. 16.—This day has been devoted
to the gale o: rcmait.ing stock of wines in the Duke
of Buckingham's cellars. There was nothing in the cha-
racter of ;4ny- of the parcels calling for remark beyond
the one important fact that very good pricies were rea-
li,cil by cli of them.
The company. as on previous days devoted to the sale
of wine, was cilained almost exclusively to brokers and
agents, with a kmall sprinkling of farmers and others re-
sident in the vicinity-. . . . . .

of the ornamental character than any which has been yet
