THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

Since the reduction of the charge for admission on
Saturdays the barrier of exclusiveness which pre-
viously hemmed in the Crystal Palace on that day
may be said to have been effectually broken down.
The merely fashionable loungers are fled, or nearly
so; and their presence can seldom be detected amidst
the vast body of persons of the well-to-do middle-
class of society who now make so formidable a show.
On Saturday last the number of visitors was very
great, and scarcely to be exceeded by the attendance
on any Saturday for months past. It was evident by
the perseverance with which they traversed the
various avenues that they were there determined to
make the best and the most of their time. Fine
weather and a balmy atmosphere too, combined with
the splendours of the Exhibition, had the effect of in-
ducing more than the ordinary number of invalids to
leave their couches, resort to the glass hive in Bath
chairs, and to the extent of their ability maintain the
industrial character of the scene. Throughout the
day the temperature of the building was exceedingly
agreeable, and the visitors being in no respect
straitened for space, and able to move to and fro
with facility, and without jostling against one another,
the view from the galleries of the transept and nave
wore an unusually animated and pleasing appearance
—animated and pleasing as it is at alt times, even
under the least favourable circumstances.

CrP IN A PIE-DISH.—The custom of placing an
inverted cup in a fruit pie, the cook will inform us, is to con-
tain the juice while the pie is baking in the oven, and pre-
vent its boiling over; and she is the more convinced in her
theory, because when the pie is withdrawn from the oven,
the cup will be found full of juice. When the cup is first
put in the dish it is full of cold air, and when the pie is
placed in the oven this air will expand by the heat and fill
the cup, and drive out all the juice and a portion of the pre-
sent air it contains, in which state it will remain until re-
moved from the oven, when the air in the cup will condense,
and occupy a very small space, leaving the remainder to be
filled with juice; but this does not take place till the danger
of the juice boiling over is past. If a small glass tumbler be
inverted in the pie, its contents can be examined into while
it is in the oven, and it will be found what has been ad-
vanced is correct.—Gower's Scientific Phenomena of Domes-

face of their district, and of the works erected on it.
They then disclose the working beneath the surface.
Their ores are next exhibited, as well as their coal
and their fluxes for smelting the ores. Then come
their furnaces in well-executed working models, the
rough metal produced by those furnaces, and, finally,
the several kinds of refined manufactured iron. In
No. 417 is exhibited another useful iron manufacture
in the shape of tin plates from the Cwm-avon Works
in South '\Vales ; and the housewife who daily boils
her kettle, and scours her saucepan, may here see
the plates from which they are formed by the skill of
the workman. The same Cwm-avon Works exhibit
a book of iron, the leaves of which are as fine as
coarse paper, and also a huge bar, 63 feet long, in the
form of a rail, which has been rolled in one continuous
length to exhibit the capability of the works for roll-
ing, but which, as if in burlesque upon its immobility,
has been placed amid other " machinery in motion."
Rich varieties of iron ore may be seen in the speci•
mens numbered 405 and 420, from the districts bor-
dering on Cumberland ; and in No. 423 we observe
some curious samples of iron lately brought into the
market from the lias formation, which promises to
give an industrial impulse in a part of the country
hitherto available only for agriculture.
The next metallic ore which attracts the attention
is zinc, exibited by the Vieille Montagne Company in
No. 437, and also in a throned statue of her Majesty,
which is placed in the east nave, and is rendered
more conspicuous by its peculiar tint of variegated
green. Zinc is a metal of comparatively recent in-
troduction into the snore common domestic uses in
this country ; but on parts of the continent, more
particularly in Belgium, its use is more extensive
than with us. Its cheapness and resistance against
atmospheric injury are much in its favour, while, on
the other hand, its want of tenacity prevents its appli-
cation to those numerous positions where strength is
required. At a considerable heat this metal will in-
flame by contact with a sufficient draught of air, and
may be made to burn with a brilliant light of bluish
white. The limestone ranges of Derbyshire, Flint-
shire, and Somerset are its principal localities in the
United Kingdom, and the wanderer through the
metropolis has only to cast his eyes up to our roofs
and chimney-tops to see a practical illustration of the
extent and infinite variety of shapes in which this
mineral may be employed in aid of the faulty chim-
ney-flues constructed by our architects and builders.
The ores of copper attract attention by their num-
ber, and the evident care and completeness with
which they have been prepared for exhibition by va-
rious contributors. Cornwall supplies by far the
greater portion of specimens, but Wales has also con-
tributed, although not in proportion to the wealth
and extent of her marketable supply ; and Ireland,
while generally delighting to show that she has gold
in some of her recesses, rather than copper or the
more ordinary metals, has creditably added to the
stores of the Exhibition, through the medium (chiefly)
of the Dublin Society for the Encouragement of Na-
tive Industry.
The Cornish specimens will afford to the visitor
the most comprehensive view of our copper ores, as
affording a beneficial source of national industry.
We may draw attention more particularly to No.
453, supplied by the Redruth local committee. The
ore is exhibited in the states in which it is found by
the miner and picked out by him, and his working
operations in the mines are illustrated by the models
and drawings (451, 452, and 524). The ore in these
rude states may be compared with the lumps of
native copper, Nos. 454, 517, and 518, which the
miner sometimes stumbles upon in the course of his
working. The lumps of rocky ore, when brought to
the surface, are stamped or pounded into small
gravel, and these particles are washed in some cases
by hand, and in others by machinery, in such way
that each process separates the heavier or more metal-
lic particles from those which contain less metal and
by consequence are lighter. The latter rising to the
top are swept off from the bucket or sieve in order to
be again put to the washing test, and eventually (as
seen by the specimens before us) the various degrees
are assorted on the mine floors, which are yards pre-
pared in a convenient position among the mine build-
ings for the purpose. Some of the machinery for
pumping as used in Cornish mines may be seen in
the room with " machinery in motion," but we have
not observed any model which gives us anything like
an illustration of that beehive of activity and industry
to which a Cornish mine may be likened during those
frequently recurring periods when the ores, having
been reduced to the powdered states in which the se-
veral qualities can with some degree of certainty be
ascertained, are being laid out in their respective
" sample heaps."
To this activity and the peculiar management
which leads to it we may hereafter advert, bearing as
it does in an important degree upon the moral and
social position of the Cornish miner. We must,
however, now turn to the Swansea Committee, No.
473, who (literally receiving the ores from Cornwall
for the simple reason that it has been found cheaper
and better to take the ore to the coal, which is in
South Wales, than to bring the coal over to the ore
in Cornwall) show us their process of roasting the
ores and of smelting out the copper into the several
states refined so as to suit the various purposes of the
market. In this place the visitor may advanta-
geously compare the different specimens of ores from
abroad and those from the United Kingdom, which
come alike to be smelted in the coal-bearing districts
of South Wales. A few years ago the restrictive
duties on the admission of ores from abroad con-
fined the operations of the smelter chiefly to ores
purchased in the home market, and the practical
operation of the duty in addition to this limita-
tion also tended to stimulate the erection of
smelting works in other coals bearing districts
abroad. It was foreseen that the British smelter
would receive an advantage if the duty were removed,
but it was also apprehended by many practical men
that this advantage would be gained at the expense
of the British miner, whose ores not only contain a
smaller quantity of metal than many foreign ores in
proportion to the mass, but whose mines are more
nearly worked out and more difficult and expensive to
work than some of the virgin districts abroad. Hap-
pily the advantage has been gained and the fear
proved groundless. The smelting trade has largely
increased, and the British miner was never employed
to greater extent than during the last year or two in
which the change of duty has come into practical
bearing.
The tin trade is also illustrated side by side with
copper in several specimens between Nos. 440 and
469, especially in the processes as shown by Messrs.
Bolitho (440), and in the block shown in No. 468,
which by traditionary lore is supposed to have been
smelted for the ancient trade of the Placenicians.
The Crown receives a duty or Lordship on tin pro-
duced in Cornwall and Devon, and this circumstance
has materially hampered the producer, not only by
rendering it necessary that he shall smelt his ores at
certain spots in Cornwall, sometimes distant from the
sites where the ore is found, but also by compelling
him to comply with certain forms which occasion de-
lay in the execution of orders, and tend to keep the
trade in that position which requires a large capital
for its development. With this explanation the
model of Messrs. Bolitho may be regarded as a partial
representation of smelting-houses erected by them
close to their residences, and coming under the class
of works which the industry of Englishmen has
forced into successful operation notwithstanding the
pressure of fiscal difficulties.
Lead is the next mineral of well-known impor-
tance that is exhibited in the section of minerals
belonging to the United Kingdom, and in the metho-
dical manner by which the principal producers of
this article have endeavoured to illustrate their
works, they are second to none in the Crystal Pa-
lace. The principal lead mines are in Durham and
Cumberland, next comes those of North Wales, and
some in Scotland, and the remainder of our home
supply is furnished by Cornwall, Devon, and Shrop-
shire.
Lead is rarely, if ever, found in a native or pure
state. Its admixture with oxides, carbonates, sul-
phurets, and other extraneous matters, makes it im-
portant that the processes of purification should be
as simple and little expensive as possible, so that the
British producer may be able to vie with his foreign
rival, whose ores are purer. In this light the visitor
may view with interest the illustrations by which
(as in Nos. 483 and 484) are shown the ore as first
raised, the breaking or crushing, and washing of the
ore, so as to assort it in relative degrees of value—
then the roasting and smelting, and, finally the re-
fining and extracting its more valuable co-partner,
silver. The latter process depends upon the
peculiar property of lead when molten and slowly
cooling to consolidate in crystals, while silver re-
tains its fluid state for a longer period. Taking
advantage of this, Mr. Pattinson, some years ago,
introduced the repeated refinery, by separation of the
crystals, leaving a final residuum of lead with a quan-
tity of silver in it of such value as to render the loss
of the lead a matter of little consequence. This lead
is then driven off from the silver by cupellation (a
modeupby fusion in a cup called a
"cope],") ndthe
analysing
remains to enrich the returns
c4:f , aof the lead mine, as exhibited by the Duke of Buc-
i cleuch in No. 509, and by Mr. Sopwith in his massive,
shield-like lump of this precious mineral.
The remainder of the mineral kingdom is less pre.
minently illustrated in the British department than

(From the Times.)
We hear that to-morrow a meeting of the Royal
Commission will be held to settle finally certain mat-
ters on which it is necessary to come to a decision
before the Queen and the Prince leave for Balmoral.
As the public will readily conjecture, the principal
questions thus about to be discussed are, no doubt,
the exact date on which the building should close,
and the manner is which that event should take place.
On the first point, it seems probable that an early day
in October will ba fixed for the purpose, as otherwise
contributors from the north of Europe may have their
goods overtaken by the winter ice; and, under any
circumstances, at that period the pleasure-seeking
season of the year is over. 'We may therefore
fairly take it for granted that the building will close
on some day before the middle of October.
Upon this arise a variety of questions, which it is
necessary that the Commission should dispose of at
once, and the proper solution of which will require
the exercise of much care and discretion. Shall the
Great Exhibitiot terminate as it commenced, with
a State ceremorial, giving solemnity and honour to
the last act of its existence, or shall it go out quietly,
and after the ordinary fashion, without pomp or
show ? That is the first point to settle. Suppose
it is arranged that there shall be a ceremony, then
the question arises what ought to be its character,
so as to render it effective and worthy of the occa-
sion ? It is a natural feeling that would connect
with the closing day a ceremonial in which merit
should be recognised by Royelty, and we believe
that when the scheme of the Great Exhibition was
first started some indirect hopes of such an honour
were held out by Prince Albert. The public, how-
ever, is reasonable, and will not expect in this
matter more than is practicable. Supposing all
other difficulties removed it would be clearly too
much to ask the Queen to present even the great
medals. Such a task would occupy too much
time, and be tedious as a spectacle. It does not,
however, by any means follow that on this account
the Exhibition should be closed quietly, and without
a ceremonial suitable to so remarkable an event. So
lame and impotent a conclusion would, we think,
cause genera: disappointment, and be especially
unpleasing to the large and influential body of men
who, as jurors, exhibitors, or in some other capacity,
have laboured and made many sacrifices for the
success of this great undertaking. It will not do to
behave unhandsomely, or to give scope for grumbling
now that the success of the Exhibition is undeniable,
and no one can doubt that, with patience, good
management, and a generous condescension, the
harmony and goodwill which have hitherto prevailed
need not be disturbed.
As for the prizes, though the names of the successful
competitors will of course be announced at once,
months will no doubt elapse before the medals
commemorative of their triumphs can all be prepared
and distributed. We trust, however, that these
decorations will not be quite so long delayed as those
of our Peninsular veterans. It has been rumoured
for some time, and is generally believed, that every
exhibitor will be presented with a medal as a memorial
of his contributions, though he may not have been
fortunate enough to carry away a prize. This will no
doubt contribute much to heal jealousies and soothe
disappointments.
Proceeding with our examination of the mineral
wealth of the United Kingdom, we find next in order,
as exhibited along the south side of the Crystal Pa-
lace, a most abundant and well-arranged series of
specimens of our staple ores, viz., iron, lead, tin, and
copper, accompanied by maps and working plans and
sections, and models of the mines or strata in which
they lie, and of the modes by which they are ex-
tracted and brought into marketable condition. Our
iron ores are, happily, so associated with our deposits
of coal that to illustrate the extent and position in the
present day of almost any iron-bearing district in
the United Kingdom, except in Devon and Cornwall,
necessarily involves the view of a coal-field, and, ac-
cordingly,in this quarter of the Exhibition are also
grouped a most interesting collection of models
of collieries and specimens of their produce.
We may especially draw attention to No. 273 for
theinstruction of the visitor, but it is impossible to
give too much credit to the numerous individuals—
in many cases " working men"—who have devoted
their time and skill in contributing to the view of
England's invited guests the miniature illustrations
of the basis of England's wealth. No other portions
of the Exhibition, whether colonial or foreign, show
so much skill and attention to illustrate the practical
operations of that large class of our population occu-
pied in producing the coarser species of wealth ; and
no portion of the Exhibition, not even that occupied
by our machinery, with its almost self-creating
powers, can give to the inquirer a better view of the
intimate springs out of which have arisen, and of the
resources upon which rest, the power and stability of
the nation. To obtain a clear insight into the iron
districts of the United Kingdom, we may first exa-
mine the table of Mr. Blackwell, No. 427. Here we
find the several districts in which iron ore occurs
marked out by lines on the table, and their relative
importance is tolerably well indicated by a glance at
the respective extents of these spaces. In this respect
South Wales stands first ; but we must not imagine
that the quality of iron in any one district is con-
comitant with its extent.
The extreme variety to be met with in the quality
of ores is one of those simple means by which Provi-
dence appears to have designed to arouse the intelli-
gence, and at the same time to render more intimate
the connexion of man with his fellows. Thus no one
iron foundry is so perfect in the make of iron from
its own produce as it is enabled to become by
mixing its own ores with those from adjoining
or distant works; and in this way South Wales
forms a useful connexion with Staffordshire, with
the Dean Forest, and even with Lancashire, which
is mutually beneficial to the maker of iron and to
the public who consume his products: Besides the
above districts we have the Shropshire, the North
Wales, the West Cumberland, Northumberland, Der-
byshire, the Yorkshire Has district (which is dim-
tinet from the Great Yorkshire coal and iron field),
and the isolated districts of Devon and Cornwall,
which send to the furnaces a description of ore well
calculated for the production of steel. Oar fore-
fathers were more limited in their choice of ores,
and the small space assigned on Mr. Black well's
table to the Sussex specimens may well illustrate the
comparison of the make of iron in Great Britain 100
years ago, which then amounted to about 30,000
tons, whereas in 1850 the make is supposed to have
amounted to more than SO times that quantity, or
two million and a half tons ! This general review
of the iron-bearing districts of England is surrounded
by particular illustrations of the mineral produced,
and the mode cf turning it to marketable account
in each locality. The Butterley Company exhibits,
in No. 400, the iron of Derbyshire in its various
stages. Staffordshire is ably illustrated in No. 411,
by specimens of the various " makes" of iron, from
the coarsest " pig" to the finest wrought "bars ;"
and No. 416 may be consulted as exhibiting, on one
side, the rough block of ore, and, on the other, its
product worked out by the skill and industry of the
artisan into the form of a highly ornamental drawing-
room grate, with its accompanying fender and fire-
irors
The Ebbw Vale Company have sent from South
Wales perhaps the most complete illustration in the
Crystal Palace of the whole process of working this
voluble mineral. They show ft model of the sur-

marbles of Italy. Excellent freestone is exhibited,
and also gypsum and its crystallised variety called
selenite. Large quantities of this mineral are raised
in this province and exported for manure. Gray
copper-ore and native copper, of fair quality, appear
on this table, and some oxide of manganese. Some
interesting fossils of the carbonaceous series have been
sent by the Central Committee of Nova Scotia, and
one lump of coal of good bituminous quality. But
where are the specimens of the General Mining
Association, which company leases the Crown mi-
nerals reserved by ancient Crown right in Nova
Scotia, and which comprise by far the larger por-
tion of the mineral property of the province ?
Property has its duties as well as its rights, and
we cannot but be surprised that a name so distin-
guished as that of the leader of the Transatlantic
steam navigation should not have been attached to a
copious and well-arranged series of freestones, coals,
iron-ores, and limestones from the basins of Pictou
and Cape Breton, where that gentleman has the prin-
cipal direction of the affairs of the General Mining
Association.

in some of them from abroad. Gold has not been
exhibited by Ireland, although a few fragments are
to be met with amid the older rocks which encircle
the eastern coasts of Wicklow and Wexford, the value
of which, when extracted from the ore, has not yet
paid for the cost of extraction.
Plumbago or black lead, and some of its products,
are well exhibited in the numbers from 64 to 69.
This mineral, while found in Spain, Germany,
Ceylon, and even in Greenland, has been found in
superior quality in England; it usually lies in gneiss,
and mica or transition slate, and so valuable was the
discovery of a large deposit of it in Cumberland a
century ago thought to be, that the proprietors of
the mine suffered severely by robberies both secret
and open, and extraordinary precautions are still
taken to prevent the abstraction of the mineral by the
workmen.
In No. 477 may be seen specimens of platinum,
palladium, iridium, rhodium, uranium ; of these
platinum is the least unknown in public repute, the
Russians having coined part of their currency in it,
and the philosophical installment makers having
brought it into common use for their purposes.
South America and Spain, as well as Russia, pro-
duce this metal, but the chief supply is from the
Dural Mountains, and in all these cases the geo-
logical character of the locality is nearly the
same, namely, auriferous and quartzose sands, su-
perficial in their position. Though platinum is the
heaviest of metals, ranking in this respect before
gold, it is also equally ductile, and may be beaten
out into leaves or films which the breath will blow
away, floating in the air. Palladium is one of the
discoveries of the present century, and is found
combined with platinum, and also in Germany, where
it is combined with selenium (a sort of metallic sul-
phur). Palladium may be familiarly described in its
properties as being a steel-like silver, hard in texture,
and not liable to tarnish in the air ; hence it has
proved a useful ally to the instrument maker, in all
cases where finely graduated lines or marks are re-
quired which must bear exposure to the atmosphere.
iridium, so called from the rainbow colours which it
exhibits in different chemical states, is found but
rarely, and then usually as a companion of platinum ;
it has not yet been applied usefully in the arts.
Rhodium is also a companion of platinum, and derives
its name from the beautiful rose colour which it may
be made to exhibit ; its present use is chiefly confined
to hardening the nibs of metallic pens. Uranium is
found in Cornwall and Germany, but is rare, and has
not yet been applied more successfully than iridium.
Sulphur is exhibited in No. 23, and is a foreign
specimen. The sulphur of the United Kingdom, which
was found chiefly in combination with copper pyrites
(or mundic), has been superseded by the foreign pro-
duct, chiefly from Sicily. In a quarter of a century
the consumption in these kingdoms has increased nine-
fold, and while we cannot emulate the native purity
which the sulphur of Sicily possesses, it is to be hoped
that our industry exerted upon the purer material is
more than compensating us for the loss of our busi-
ness in the raw article. Arsenic, which is so well-
known in glassmaking and dyeing, or printing, is not so
well illustrated as we could wish, especially as our na-
tive science and industry have of late years found a field
in the reduction of this metal from some of the refuse
ores of Cornwall. Arsenic as a metal is too brittle and
soft for use, and is therefore known in commerce
chiefly as an oxide in the form of powder. The
yellow amber-like crystals seen in the refining pot
are extremely beautiful, and we hope this hiatus in
the industrial specimens of the Crystal Palace will
shortly be filled. Nickel, of which specimens are
exhibited in No. 476, is found chiefly in Germany,
but also in Hungary, France, and England. It has
been more generally kcown f late years under the
name of German silver, and is chiefly extracted
from the ores of cobalt. Manganese is exhibited in
No. 505, and is found in considerable quantities in
Devon and Cornwall, and also in Germany and Pied-
mont. In the form of a metal it somewhat re-
sembles cast-iron, but its readiness to combine with
the oxygen of the air renders it difficult to retain in
the metallic form. It is used in bleaching, in the
potteries, in glassmaking, and in some other arts,
and its production gives employment to an industrious
section of our population in the west of England.
In conducting the visitor beyond the precincts of
our island minerals we shall request him to pass
through the western nave, and (before we begin upon
our colonial wealth) observe the gigantic crystalline
masses of alum, which stand nearly behind those
equally gigantic specimens of law—my Lords Eldon
and Stowell. Alum employs an industrial portion of
our population on the north-east coast of Yorkshire
and in Scotland, where it is extracted from the earthy
clay called alumina, combined with sulphur and pot-
ash or ammonia, but is found with a basis of superior
quality in the Papal States and in Syria. It is used
for clarifying liquors, and in dyeing, leatherdressing,
paperhanging, and other arts.
Canada also shows her samples of various ochres,
and of barytes, labradorite (felspar), jasper, peristerite,
and agates; some good whetstones, lithographic-
stones, limestones, marbles (in between 30 and 40
varieties), and gypsum. This mineral, more com-
monly known by us under the name of plaster of
Paris, is a sulphate of lime, and is used in America
to an immense extent for manure, for which purpose
it does not appear to have found favour in this
country; probably the cause of this may be fount
in the circumstance of the larger proportion of car-
bonate of lime contained in the Transatlantic deposits
of this mineral. It is also used in pottery manufac-
factures, and for moulds, and the more common
models and statues, its softness and little tenacity
rendering it too liable to injury to be used for the
more valuable works of the sculptor. Samples of
compact and fine granite appear in this colonial series,
and also of serpentines and slates ; the quality of
which is coarse, but will probably improve as the
quarries become more fully opened. So long as the
settler can find at hand a oovering for his roof of the
" shingles," or wooden tiles, chopped roughly out of
the smaller logs, while the larger logs form the walls
of his house, he will not be disposed to delve beneath
the surface of the soil for building-stone or slates,
but the day is fast coming when the clearing of
the forests in the neighbourhood of Canadian towns
will bring these more enduring materials into us,e,
among the multitude (there are no " middle classes
in North America), and as that day advances in-
dustry will find her sure reward in working upon
these fine mineral stores with which Providence has
studded this colony. 'We may also notice the
pitchstone, soapstone, and fuller's earth which are
exhibited as samples of another useful series of
indigenous minerals. Grains of gold are shown from
the eastern extremity of the colony bordering on the
United States, but we do not advise our Canadian
friends to let any Californian visions divert them from
the steady application of their industry to deve-
lope the less glittering minerals which we have briefly
enumerated.
We see no specimen of coal from Canada, and if
the absence of such correctly leads us to conclude
that no basin of that mineral has yet been discovered
in the province, we may assure the Canadians that
they will some day be made aware of the importance
of connecting themselves more closely with New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia, where this mineral is
abundant. Without cheap fuel of strong quality and
small bulk, the process of smelting, forging, and
raising steam can be carried on only to disadvantage,
and the industry of Canada must be exercised prin-
cipally on raw material, until she puts herself in a
position to command a good supply of the all-powerful
stimulator—coal.
The sister province of New Brunswick has not
been entirely idle amid the general excitement to
contribute to the show of industry of all nations ; but
this is all we can say, inasmuch as the samples of iron
ore, manganese, plumbago, and pitch coal, which com-
pose her entire list of mineral specimens, are most
paltry as an index of the mineral wealth which really
exists in that fine province. New Brunswick is
somewhat larger than Ireland ; the greater part of her
soil is fertile, and is covered with fine forests. Two-
thirds of her boundary line are formed by the sea,
and, as a consequence of these conditions, the energies
of her inhabitants have been absorbed by timber-
cutting and by fisheries. She possesses, boweve,
vast stores of coal, of ore, and of stone,

building and to the arts, and as soon as the fishing

we are that no effort of the Mining Association will

competition with those of all the world beside.
British Guiana has sent some good samples of clay,
which may be turned to account in bricks and pot-
tery when her population presses upon the present
abundant resources of the forest. Trinidad appears
to be rich in some of the most useful minerals. Her
pitch, petroleum, and mineral oil, are specimens of
one of the most extraordinary natural formations in
the world, viz., the Pitch Lake of Trinidad. This
lake is about three miles in circumference, and situ-
ated on high land in the interior of the island. In the
cooler season the surface will bear the human foot,
but in hot weather the surface becomes liquified and
cannot then be walked upon. Deposits of pitch or
asphaltum are almost invariably found in association
with the more recent geological formations, and in
that of Trinidad traces of volcanic agency are abun-
dant in the vicinity of the lake.
The Dead Sea is another remarkable locality
whence asphaltum is obtained ; but there the mineral
flows from springs into the waters of the lake, where-
as in the basin of Trinidad the entire surface of the
lake is asphaltum, and if water be beneath it, of which
there are some indications, the depth of asphaltum is
such that it has not yet been penetrated, so as to
arrive at the supposed underlay of water. Lignite
(coal) and anthracite (coal) are exhibited; also mag-
netic and hematitic iron ores, and slates apparently
from the surface, and therefore coarse, but promising
well for further discoveries. With these elements we
cannot but think that a good mineral survey of Trini-
dad would afford information of a highly valuable
character ; and would probably develope large sup-
plies to be obtained of excellent coal.
Trinidad is admirably situated for giving the benefit
of such supplies to the steam navigation which is now
beginning to connect all the shores and islands in the
eastern seas of Central America ; and we trust that
' the Governor, Lord Harris, who has laudably ex-
erted himself to send for the inspection of the world
such useful beginnings from an island hitherto com-
paratively unknown, will not relax until he shall have
shown that the seat of his government is on the high
road to wealth and prosperity by the aid she will give
to the commerce of Central America in cheap supplies
of mineral fuel.

EXECUTION AT NoRWIc 6.—NoRWICH, SATURDAY.
—The Execution of Henry Groom took place this day at
noon, on th© public scaffold, erected in front of the County
Gaol at Norwich, before au immense concourse of persons.
Groom, it will be remembered, was convicted a
wt the receot
nt
assizes for the wilful murder of John Ayton, was sh
while proceeding to pay some labourers in the employ of the
Earl of Leicester. The culprit since his condemnation has
been very penitent, and paid great attention to the spiritual
instruction of the chaplain of the gaol, who has repeatedly
visited him. His awful situation had evidently affected him
deeply, both physically and mentally, and his outward ap.
pearance underwent a great change for the worse during the
brief period which has elapsed since his conviction. For
some days past he had given up all hope of mercy, and it is
I reported that he made a confession to the chaplain. The
body, after hanging the whit tialef was cut
