PREVENTION or Loss OF LIFE BY DROWNING.—
Woomvicii, Jutiell.—Sonie experiments were made to-day
before Colonel Campbell, Captain Anderson, Captain Faddy,
Lieutenant Rowley and several other officers, with the view
of testing the efficiency of Messrs. Silver and Co.'s appliances,
ac patented by Lawrie, for preventing loss of life by drown-
ing, and which are to be seen in the Exhibition. The prin-
cipal of these consist of belts for the person, of floats to pre-
vent the sinking of boats, and of floatable articles of deck and
cabin requisites, ,tich as deck seats or cushions, mattresses,
and a portmanteau. The distinguishing feature of the belt
and boat float is that, consistently with portability, it is a
cylinder of stout but ordinary duck, extended over disks of
light wood which divide it into compartments, so that in the
event of one or two being punctured by rails, splinters, or
otherwise, the safety of the wearer or boat would still be se-
cure. None of the articles were tested to the utmost of their
buoyancy, notwithstanding which, one boat-float buoyed up
weights to the amount of 981bs. The cabin mattress, 6 feet
by 2 feet, formed of 12 compartments, not purposely inflated,
but stuffed so as to prevent the escape of air or the percola-
tion of water, easily floated 1821b5., sufficient to support
a number of persons, if wrecked, for an indefinite
time. A mattrass, consisting of four compartments. buoyed
up 981b5.; a horse-hair pillow, eBlbs. ; a small deck seat or
cushion, 141bs. Great interest was excited by one of the
assistants of Messrs. Silver, of Cornhill, getting into a port-
manteau, which, though of the ordinary size, is so fitted np
as to allow of the bottom shifting, and the legs, protected by
mackintosh, protruding, with a similar protection enclosing
the waist. In this novel boat the exhibitor floated about at
the
his ease. A boat mattress was also tested, and elicitedltconsists
surprise and admiration of the company present.
of two thin mattresses joined together so as to form a canoe
or boat. One of the assistants, and subsequently Captain

in tho water without the least tendency of the vessel cap-
sizing, which, indeed, is rendered almost an impossibility by
two wings, or weather boards, if we

I The officers present expressVill,it is hoped, be the means of
their high sense of the utility
of these inventions, whltel
saving many a valuable life, and diminishing the number of
those fatal accidents, by wrecks and drowning, which have
of late desolated families and harrowed up the feelings of the
public.
L ATION OF Kossuxn.—On Tueaiay evening
IDER
A public meeting of the inhabitants of Glasgow was held in
the cits,..hall, called. by the Lord Provost, in consequence of
a requis-ition sent him for the purpose, to memorialize the
Government to interpose its influence, to procure the
British . . -
liberation of the illustrious Kossuth and his brave com-
panions, and their restoration to all the rights and privi-
leges of free citizens of the world. The following re-
solutions were unanimously agreed to :—" That this meet-
' ing deeply sympathise with all such as are the victims of
civil and ecclesiastical despotism throughout the world, but
in the meantime feel specially called upon to extend a becom-
ing amount of hospitality to those exiles who have taken an
active part in the late struggle for independence in Hungary,
and who of their own free choice have sought a home and
an honest means of living in this land, so famous for the
shelter it has afforded alike to the oppressor and the op-
pressed of the various nations on the face of the globe."
" That this meeting of the citizens of Glasgow present a re-
spectful memorial to Lord Palmerston, her Majesty's Secre-
tary of State for Foreign Affairs, in the hope that he may
be still further induced to use such efforts as are con-
sistentie with his high office, in endeavouring to procure
vti.,
unconditional freedom of the illustrious Kossuth, ala,n,ff,n` the
his other compatriots now confined at Kuttayab, "L"
Turkish territory." A committee was then appointed,w to
the meeting
carry out the views here expressed.

garians, of whom there were five on the pi_ tt a hearty
shake of the hand, that some confusion and delay took place
before the hall was cleared.
OCRET.—A cut-purse, or
TIIE KING AND THE PICHF
pickpocket, with as much effronteryloCini on the King's birth-
day, of face as dexterity of
finger, had got into the dtriaelivni ng,

King taking a gold

pocket. The rogue, who saw his sovereign's eye upon hien,
put his finger to his nose, and made a sign to the King wieh
the wink to say nothing.
.With a like presence of mind the
King took thehint, and watching the earl, enjoyed his feel-
ing first in one pocket and then in another for his missing
Ibox. The King now
,called the nobleman to him : " Toe.

my lord, your box is gone; e am myself an accomplice: I
could not help it, I was made a eoufidant.".—Gentlenian.'s
