ROYAL POLYTECHNIC
INSTITUTION.

The chemical lecturer to this establishment, Dr. Ryan,
has been engaged during the past week in delivering a
course of lectures on the application of chemistry to the
various arts and manufactures, such as glass.making, &c.
In one of these lectures the Doctor illustrated a method
of cutting and boring glass by common iron instruments,
emplojing, however, a solution of camphor and tur-
pentine, instead of the usual preparations, such as emery,
sulphate of copper, &c. By keeping the instrument
milstened with the camphorated turpentine the Doctor
showed that glass might be cut and bored as readily as
any of the metals. This is a secret well worth know-
ing, and we cannot avoid expressing our thanks to the
learned lecturer, who thus prominently has explained to
the world a matter of such moment. This Institution,
we are exceedingly sorry to hear, experienced great
damage ft orn the late thunder storm. The expense of
repairs, we hear, exceeded a hundred pounds,

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—The Ethiopian Serenaders
took their benefit last night, at this house, after an engage-
ment of seven months. After the performances Mr. Mitchell
was presented, by the party, with a very valuable gold
watch, as a slight token of esteem.
THE LORD MAYOR'S VISIT TO OXFORD.—OXFORD,
WEDNESDAY EVENING.—The Lord Mayor reached Oxford by
special train soon after 11 o'clock this morning, and imme-
diately proceeded to the residence of the Mayor of this city,
Alderman John Thory, and invited his Worship and the
town clerk to dine with him in the evening at the Star
Hotel. The Lord Mayor and his friends have spent
the day in visiting the chief attractions of this city and
neighbourhood; and as it appeared to be his Lordship's
wish that his visit should be as private and unosten-
tatious as possible, there was nothing beyond a little
addi-
tional bustle to denote that we were honoure Hisdwtth the
company of the ruling powers of the great metropolis.
