A great variety of atrial machines are exhibited in
the gallery, over the wtstern entrance, some of them of
the most singular apps a'auce. Mr. Gilbert. of Ealing,
has a csr dras.n by kites, Mr. Potter, of Hastings, an
apt aratus fur navizatiriga balloon by means of an Archi-
median screw; while Mes4s.Huntley,of New Broad-street.

In Class 9. consitilixl of Agricultural Implements,
Mr. We-lcs, horticulturbit, of Chelsea, exhibits some
v..ry useful apparatus competed with his own °coupe-
th.n—a stove with movable bars; also an improved
plan for ventilating horfkitiliural buildings, which espe-
cially a tracted the nom. of her Majesty and Prince
Albert on their visit of SEturday last. Mr. Weeks was
present, ai,d had the honour of explaining to them the
details of the plan.
Near this is a Swedish ventilving stove, by L,,akes,
of Great Russell street, the alvantages of which are
said to be—a far greater amount of heat, and the heat
ing surface being composed of pure fire-loam, the air
is not d. composed. The heat, as compared with an)
other atuve, to tNree times greater ; 70 feet of hew-
ing surface being contained in a stove of this descrip-
tion, two feet squire and three feet high; whereas other
stoves ~f similar dimensions contain only 23 feet. The
heat being obtained through a constant current of pure
air passing in contact with stofsces which do nut decom-
pose it, maintains in the apartru• nt the most perfect
Vivien arid healthy change tt air. The stove is farther
slid to be more econom eel it fuel than any other, and
tit ctdedly less expensiv in tt.e first cost.

AWFULLY MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A SOLICITOR.
—CURLS DaY. ) —At ten o'clock on Tuesday night the po-
lice-constable on duty found in the garden of Mr Heal's
house, 62, Euston-square, a gentleman lying in a state of
insanity, having on his person a gold watch and a large
amount of property. Near him also lay his carpet bag.
The police without delay conveyed the unfortunate gentle-
man to the St. Pancras workhouse, where Mr. Eaton, the
master, ha him placed in a comfortable bed in the infirmary,
and attended to him until the senior and junior hoive-sur-
geons arrived, who exerted all their skill to save his life.'
But he died in a state of insanity at four o'clock this morn.
ing. Unon examining his papers and upon further inquiry
by Mr. Eaton, it appeared that he unfor unate deceased is

ACCIDENT TO THE MARQUIS OF ANGLESEY.—We
regret exceedingly to announce that an accident, which
might have bean attended with very serious consequences,
occurred yesterday afternoon to this gallant veteran. Lord
Anglesey was riding down Grosvenor-street at a sharp pace,
when, on arriving at the turning into Park-lane, the pole of
art omnibus was driven with considerable force against his
Lordship's horse. The concussion caused the animal to rear
up and fall back. Lord Angleser, of course, lost his seat,
but fortunately disengaged himself from the stirrups and rose
unhurt—a circumstance the more happy, from the fact that I
the left leg worn by his Lordship was always attached to the I
stirrup- ir n by a small chain, which the force and weight of
the fall providentially broke. The Noble Marquis rode to
Uxbridge House in a friend's carriage; and in answer to in-
quiries last evening. was described as a good deal shaken,
but not seriously injured by the accident.

The Queen has presented 1001. in aid of the Sailors'
Home at Portsmouth.

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East India House, when Lieutenant-General Sir Richard
Armstrong, C. 8., was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the.
CgmEsny's Forces on the Fart et. George Establishment.

Letters from Rome, of the 31, in the Corriere
Mercantile, states that on the Ist some French sol-
diers, of the garrison or Castello, had a brawl with
some Italian soldiers, which ended in a serious con-
flict, in which many wounds were inflicted, and se-
veral lives lost on both sides. It is nut said whether
the offenders have been punished or not.
A letter from Bolugna of the 3.1, in the Costitu,
zionale of Florence, states that notwithstanding the
late decree of Count NOBILI against persons attempt-
ing to prevent others from smoking, the sale of
tobacco and cigars has considerably diminished, thus
causing a great. loss to the revenue; that eight young
men of good fami,ies are now in prison at Bologna
ror having recommended people not to smoke; and
that a young man had been wounded with a stiletto
for having sin( .ced in the streets.

RAMBLES in the CRYSTAL PALACE.
(THIS DAY.)
The beautiful weather has tempted numbers to •isit
the Crystal Palace, and at 11 o'clock the building pre-
at-nted a❑ animatEd appearance. The proceeds of yes-
terday amounted to more than 2,5001. We have no
doubt that they will be found equally satisfactory this
day.
_ _ _

Her Majesty's tour of inspection yesterday was con-
fined to the north side of the Briti,h Department, and
more particularly the Fine Arts Court. To day is the
first day of the extended hours, and as seven o'clock is
by no means a late hour for sight seers at this time
of the year, we may Expect that this hour will still fur-
ther be enlarged.
This morning the following objects more particularly
attracted our attention:—

In the Furniture Det;tirtment, Mr. Nye, of Tunbridge,
exhibits two tables, a tidy's work-box, and a book stand.
All these are mosaics. One of the tables is composed
of 110.800 pieces of nsive and foreign wood ; the other
is composed of 129,540 pieces. The book-stand is inlaid
with ►wo butte, flies, ore, a mossic, consisting of 11.000
pieces of wood, in their natural colours, found in some
parts of Africa and India; and the other butterfly is a
mosaic, of 13 000 pieces of wood, from Amboyna. On
the work-box is the reiresentation of part of the remains
if Bay ham tibbey. 'NS also is a mosaic, of 13,000
pieces of wood, in their natural colours. The workman-
ship in all of these is of the most exquisite description,
and great taste has elidentiy been displayed in the
execution.
