DOLMAN.

In the November number of Dolman there are two
charming biographies, one of Father Foley, and the
other of Dr. Aloysius Gentili, the latter being the
more attractive to Roman Catholics, as a memorial of
one of their most eloquent and renowned missionaries.
" The Plagues of the Church" is a paper of a theolo-
gical character. "The Broken Heart" is a simple
and touching narrative, and the " Sketches of the
Indian Archipelago" are crowded with useful infor-
mation.

HARROW ScHoor, OCT. 31.—The authorities of
the far-famed seat of teaming at this place having rr-
ceived official intelligence of her Majesty the Queen
Dowager's wish to visit the school on this day, proper
preparations were made. Her Majesty artired about
twenty minutes to three o'clock, and 'proceeded at once
with her rumerous suite to the Speech-room, where the
scholars were assembled. Here her Majesty begged an
extra week's holiday for the school at Christmas, which
was of course granted. Her Majesty left for her resi-
dence, Stanmore Priory, amid the loyal vud grateful
cheers of upwards of 300 Harrovian.

DEPARTURE OF THE INFAMOUS
DOBBIN FROM CLONSIEL.
The diabolical spy, Dobbin, left Clonmel on Tuesday.
He was accompanied about a mile outside town, on the
Cashel road, by a brace of policemen, and a young man
dressed in black, who seemed to be his cicerone, but
whose name our reporter could not ascertain. Two
seats had been previously paid for by the half-past
twelve o'clock car; one of those seats was occupied by
an anxious-looking, taciturn female, aged about twenty-
eight years, who subsequently appeared to be the wife of
the Red Hand informer, the other, us it afterwards
turned out, was Dobbin himself! There sv( re also on
the car Sergeant Hampden, and Privates Parson and
Brien Hanrahan, of the Bth Hussars, witnesses in the
state trials of th,e Killenaule barricades. Hanrahan we
may state en passant, is a Clournel man, and was
some time ago an apprentice of Mr. William Tei.ni-
son, painter and glazier, of Morton-street, in
that town, from whom he made his escape
without fulfilling the terms of his indentures. Braces
of
police occupied the road at intervals between Gibbett
Hill (a most appropriate locality tor Dobbin), and the
Mile Tree; and when the car reached the latter place,
some of the passengers recognised the cat-like features
of the informer, and were horrified when they learned
that he was about to be their companion to Thurles.
With the exception of the three troopers, all w one
accord vehemently protested that Bobbin should not sit
on the car; but the troopers took the trembling wretch
in charge, placed him, against the united declarations of
the passengers, on the top of the luggage, atql he jour-
neyed to Cashel, where, in some time, as the car was
changing horses, a crowd assembled, and having heard
that the spy was in "the ancient City of the Kings," they
raised a shout of execration, which must have gone to
the heart, if he po:sesses such, of the miserable villain
as he sought, from his " bad eminence," to conceal
him-
self from the frenzied eyes of the multitude. The
female was exceedingly terrified at this period; but even
she did not at that time pretend to recognise the Attor-
ney-General's " gentleman," Mr. Dobbin. The car did
not reach the Thurles terminus in time for the half past
four o'clock train, and Dobbin, in charge of Private
Parsons and Mrs. Dobbin,- with Private Hanrahan, pro-
ceeded to the station-house, where Sergeant Hampden
obtained for the miscreant a place of security, sending
the private to the police barracks for constables, who
very soon arrived, and conducted Mr. and Mrs. Dobbin
to a lodging-house, where they remained till morning.
Not venturing to take the train, a special car was pro-
cured for them, on which they went at an early hour to
Templemore, which they left by the ten o'clock train for
Dublin.—Tipperary Vindicator.

As a matter of course,
I drill'd False Dobbin."
Who gave the license ?

With my little byelaw,
I gave the license."
Who paid his wages?

As my pockets are full,
I paid his wages."
Who made him witness ?

FRATERNITY.
Dream of the poet, can it be
That thou art all Fraternity ?
No: from a more than mortal voice,
I hear the accent and rejoice,
And deem the promise as the sun,
When all the nations shall be one.

Before old Time much longer roll
Believe, the Russian and the Pole,
Celt, Saxon, German, and the Dane;
Jews, Moors, and eons of ancient Spain,
Italians, Austrians—all shall be
Linked in thy band Fraternity.

Then hail ! thou universal good,
All hail! thou general brotherhood,
Type of that great and mighty change
When mortals to a wider range
Of thought and feeling soar ou high,
Brothers in one eternity.

PATENTED ELECTRIC LIGHT.
We attended a private exhibition—if a gathering of
nearly 700 persons deserves to have such a term applied
to it—of this wondi rtel invention, at the Ilan iver-
square Rooms, on Monday evening. Mr. W. E. Staite,
the inventor, who was ably assisted by his colleague
(Mr. Petrie) explained at some length, and apparently
with much satisfaction to the meeting, the properties of
his light. The light, it appeat s, is produced oy a vol-
taic battery, containing a great number of improve •
merits upon those used for ordinary electrical purposes.
piey consist in having for their object these important
nos—rendering the bats-,if constant and regular in its
action old exceeding economics.' in its consumption of
the material used. Tile improvement in the light consists
in possessing the prnciple of self-r, gelation by means of
the electrical eu, rent itself, which is made to pass through
a small electromagnetic hel"e or magnet, so that the
dynamical force of the cv-rent ocr'ng upon the escape-
ment causes the electrodes either to approach or recet-?e,
according to the varying power of the current. The
result of the whole is, that a light may be obtained at
the most trifling cost—at not more than the cost of one
penny for a light equal to 100 candles per hour. The
cost is estimated at one-twelfth the price of gas. The
entire quantity of electricity generated in the battery is
made to develop itself in light instead of being allowed
to pass uselessly through the electrodes. The consump-
tion of carbon is about half an inch per hour, and
it cen be supplied for any length of time
by a very simple contrivance, and the light may be
caused or extinguished instantaneously. There is no
fear of combustion, and the heat is yestly dispropor-
tioned to the light emitted. A light was exhibited of
beautiful brilliancy and steadiness, scarcely distinguish-
able from the light of the sun; it was thrown upon some
paintings of Mr. Talton, and the effect was most suc-
cessful. Fabrics, such as green and purple, not easily
distinguishable in artificial light, were clearly visible.
So also were the prismatic rays shown on the wall The
tight in question was stated to be equal to 900 wax
candles, and the heat estimated not to exceed that
of a common argand burner. The current is made to
pass through a coil of wire, or magnet, which actuates
the escapement, attached to the electrode, which causes
the electrode to move up and down according to the
strength of the current, thereby altogether maintaining
the same distance between the two electrodes, and making
the light equable. The light is a pure white, much whiter
than camphine, and the one we witnessed, which brll-
Handy illuminated the whole room, cast the wax candied
in the chandeliers completely into the shade. The light
seems peculiarly suited to all the purposes to which gas
and o:1 are now applied. The patentees say
It will be eminently valuable for lighthouses, rail-
way stations, signal lights, dock-) ards, theatres,
iic

buildings, churches, clubs, exhibition-rooms,
galleries, &c., &c. ; for large shops, where the exposure
of delicate coloured fabrics is essential ; together with
its application for the lighting of private house!, as it

safety. For light-houses it deserves to be separately
noticed, on account of the immense benefit of its pene-
trating and powerful character, the remarkable economy
of its adoption, arid the facility of working such a light
by submarine wires from any station that may be
selected, without the necessity of erecting a building
exactly at the spot where the beacon may be required to
be set up."
In small lights for rooms, &c., the inventors state that
they would dispense with the use of carbon altogether ,
using another material not yet apecified,which w ill enable
them to dispense with the electro-magnetic regulation
altogether, by means of which a light of from one candle
up to Chit ty or forty can be placed upon a drawing-room
table. The manipulator was much cheered, and, alto-
gether, we have seldom seen any invention meet with
such general approbation. The time, we imagine, is not
far distant when lamps of this kind will be in copa-
l/11On use.

We noticed amongst the company the following:—
Admiral Sir E. Cod►ington; Captein Yollor, Royal En-
gineers; Mr. Clegg, engineer; Mr. Napier, of Glasgow;
Professor Faraday; several Lords of the Adm;ralty and
the Ordnance Office ; Mr. George French Brockenden;
some members of the Trinity House; Dr. Reid and Dr.
Clrticy.

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY, EXETER-HALL.,--•
The first concert for the season of he Sacred Harmonic
Society took place last evening at Exeter-hall, on which
occasion Mr. Costa appeared for the first time as the
conductor. The orchestra hrs undergone many im-
provements, not the least of which is the remove' of the
unsightly wooden box in which formerly the conductor
was ensconced; his seat is now placed at the edge of the
front of the orchestra, this enabling hies to overlook
each ;ndividusl of this immerse mass of musicisos, and
placing the principal singers in full view of him. The
performance consisted of Mendelssohn's chef a macre,
Eiijah, which Wl's never more effecr;.vtly given than it
was last evening by the Misses Birch, Dolby, A.
Williems, and Duvei, and by Messrs. H. Phillips and
Lockey. The chorus and orchestra were admirably
conducted by Costa, who was much applauded. The
Hall was crowded.
