for promoting the observation of phenomena at se::, and
in its last sitting, which was held a few days ago a-
Rotterdam, it was announced that under its auspices
413 nautical instruments had been examined, making ...%
teed of 763 for the two years the society had been esta-
blished ; also, that in the course of the last year it had
received 40 log books kept on Lieutenant Maury's plan,

FRAUD BY A CONTEACTOR.—A letter from Breslau of
the 28th ult., in the Journal de Frankfort, states that a
considerable sensation has been caused there by the
arrest of M. Sch—n, one of the largest manufacturers of
cloth and blankets at Stockereau, and contractor for the
supply of the army. This arrest is connected with some
extensive frauds committed by the military equipment
commission. Between 30 and 40 other persons are impli-
cated in the affair. The military authorities have de-
manded that all the landed property of M. Sch—n,
amounting in value to 600,0001, should be placed un.
der sequestration. The great majority of the clerks em-
ployed by the above corosnission are mixed up in this
fraud, which, it appears, has been going on since 1848.
The loss to the State amounts to nearly2,ooo,oool
