THE NATURE AND STORAGE OF PETROLEUM.

Mr. Francis Sutton, F.C.S., writes explaining the
nature of some of those inflammable liquids which
have lately caused so many accidents. He refutes the
popular notion as to the explosiveness of petroleum
or naptha, explaining that neither they nor spirits of
turpentine, wood and coal naptha, or any other
similar substances are in themselves explosive. Alt
that is necessary is to exclude the air from them.
"A lighted match may be dropped into the bunghole
of a cask of petroleum or any other of the inflammable
liquids mentioned above, so long as the air is
excluded ; but, on the other hand, if the vapour
of any such liquids becomes mixed with the
proper quantity of air required to produce an explo-
sive mixture then explosion will occur." Gunpowder,
gun cotton, or nitro-glycerine, however, are explo-
sive in the strict sense of the term, because they con-
tain within themselves the necessary oxygen to
support their combustion. Mr.-Sutton declares that
there ought to be no difficulty in conveying the first-
mentioned liquids by rail if they are only stored in
such a manner as to prevent any leakage, " and as
little access of air as possible." lie recommends that a
special truck should be used for carrying these materials,
lined with lead and fitted with a tightly-fitting door,
which should never be openedincautiously, nor should
the liquid be interfered with except by daylight.

AMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medic►ne for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or oven lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 141., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the

MR. ROGERS ON SMALL PROPRIETORS.

Mr. James Thorold Rogers, the late Professcr of
Political Economy at Oxford, writes to the .11anehestet
Examiner upon the subject of Lord Stanley's speech
on the land question. Ile points out that " amiable
and kind-hearted men," who—as Lord Stanley said
—were engaged in advocating the benevolent but
retrograde theory of small proprietorships, include
" every economist of eminence, from Adam Smith.
downward, from Ai thur Young to Mr. Laing." The
principle of persant landowners, moreover, is onc—
ae-.:ordin.- to Mr. Rogers—destined to be adopted
presently for Ireland, and eventually for England. Nor
does he think the dangers pointed out by Lord Stanley
to he real ones. Small proprietorships will attract
capital to the soil rather than repel it. Machines,
says Mr. Rogers, may be rented as well as bought.
Surely Lord Stanley has heard of co-operation. Is
it possible that he has never heard of the principle
being applied to agriculture ? They who have made
it their business to study the principle, are ready to
argue that the success of mechanical contrivances
over muscular forces will be rendered vastly more
rapid when small proprietorship is the rule.

WESTMINSTER.

A DISGRACEFUL MOTHER.—Anne Thornton, a woman
about 30 years of age, was charged with being found
drunk and incapable, by which a young infant child, of
which she had been recently confined, was placed in
imminent danger.
Police-constable, 126 B, said that at half-past ten on the
previous night he found the defendant lying in Hendon-
place, near Victoria-station,- nsensibly drunk. With much
difficulty he conveyed her to the police station, and some
time aftor she had been there she owned an Want that
had been brought in.
Police-constable, 77 B, said that when the woman was
taken into custody he found a child lying exposed on the
step of 49, Milton-road, which is a continuation of Hen-
don-street. He took the infant to tho station.
Mr. Arnold asked how far it was from the mother where
the child was found ?

Witness said about 50 yards.
Defendant said she was very sorry. She had recently
been in the workhouse for her confinement, and coming
out with the child had too much to drink. If she had not
the child would have been found with her.

Mr. Arnold remanded her fora week, in default of bar
finding bail.

JACK ROPETARN IN TROUBLE. —A starwart black man,
named Jack Ropeyarn, aged 28 years, was brought up on
remand before Mr. Paget, charged with the unlawful pos-
session of a coat. He was captured a few days ago with
the coat in his possession by a police constable named
Watts, 303 11. Jack Ropeyarn was trying to 5..11 the coat,
and the policeman asked him to give some account of it,
which he was unable to do, and he was taken into custody.
The coat was now identified by a boarding- house keeper,
with whom the prisoner had been lodging.
Mr. Paget asked the prisoner what he had to say, and
where he had obtained the name of Jack Ropeyarn?
The Prisoner said him took de coat; him mother and
father gib him do name of Jack Ropeyarn.
Mr. Paget sentenced him to two m.mtlts' imprisonment
and hard labour.
GERMAN MENDICANTS. Isaac Guvartz, aged 18 years,
and described as an assistant schoolmaster, of No. 13,
Goulston-street, Whitechapel, and Martin Schrate, 13
same address, and having no occupation, wore charged
with mendicancy.
A police-constable named Sheppard, 43 IT, saw the
prisoners, two miserable-looking creatures, begging of
passengers, and took them into custody. They pretended
to be starving, but they had no occasion to starve, for
91d. was found on the elder prisoner and ls. sd. on the
other. One had eight boxes and the other three boxes of
fusees on them, and said they were selling them. This
was only a pretence to ask for alms of passengers.
Mr.
Paget directed inquiries to be made concerning,them,
and remanded them for a week.

TUE PORTADOWN INQUEST.

The inquiry into the cause of the Portadown riots
is being conducted in a most extraordinary manner.
First, the coroner suddenly and without any cause
whatever adjourned it for three weeks, and now that the
jury has reassembled, he does little but wrangle with
them and the lawyers, except it be when making up
his differences with these he joins them in attacking
the local press for criticising his conduct. The inquest
is described as " a succession of scenes in a most absurd
farce." On Monday the coroner wanted to close and
have done with it, refused to take any more evidence,
and proceeded to give his summing up. But the
jurymen protested, and the professional gentlemen
would not have it. So the coroner gave way, and
again the evidence was gone on with. Will ever a
reform be made which will put coroners strong enough
to preserve order at inquests such as this ?

UTILISATION OF SEWAGE.

The Local Board of Leamington are about to dis-
pose of the town sewage to the Earl of War Wick.
Ills lordship undertakes to pay the board £450 per
annum for thirty years, in consideration of the
board supplying, at their own cost, the sewage of the
town to a farm belonging to his lordship, about two
miles from Leamington. The local authorities
e7ipect to lose £l.OOO a year by the bargain ; but
they adopt this course as the only means of getting
rid of the commodity which is so valuable as a fer-
tiliser, but such a nuisance when poured into the
rivers. The fact is that the utilisation of sewage,
like all new ideas, spreads slowly ; and towns arc not
yet able to conclude n-ood bArgaius, though no

The Local Board of Banbury have -tried the plan
of using the sewage for themselves. They rented a
farm about a mile from the town, and poured the
liquid over it. The solid matter is detained in tanks,
mimed with the sweepings of the streets, and with
ashes, and disposed of to canal boatmen, who sell it
to the farmers. The rent of the farm is £616 les.
Thirty-five acres were laid clown with Italian rye-
grass, which is now in its third year. During I:i3
the sales of produce realised upwartls of
the crops as a whole look magnificent this year, " and
excite the astonishment of the neighbouring agri-
culturists." The liquid, after passing over the land,
is poured into the river Cherwell, but no Auisance is
complained of now.

THE ALLEGED CHILD MURDER IN
DRURY-LANE.

-

This morning Edward Pullin, Marie Pullin (his
wife), and Mary Pullin (his daughter), were again
placed at the bar of Bow-street Police-court, on
remand, charged with concealing the birth of a
male child.

The facts of this cane have already been pub-
lished at length, and to-day the prisoners Were
brought to court to hear the evidence of the sur-
geon, who had made a post mortem examination of
the body.

Dr. Bennett said he had made a minute exami-
nation of the body, and he found that only one of
the lungs had been inflated, so he was firmly of
opinion that the child had never lived.

Annie Fredericks again gave some further evi-
dence, and was cross-examined by the male prisoner,
but she still persisted that she heard threats from
her husband and statements from his wife about
disposing of the bodies of children, all which ho
said was untrue.

Sergeant Kerley said he had made some further
examinations of the house, 37, Wyld-street, by
digging in various places, but he had found nothing
but the body of the child which formed the subject
of the present inquiry.
The case was further remanded, in accordance
with the wish of the police.
The three prisoners were then removed. On
being conveyed from the court to the van they
were hissed and hooted by the great crowd of per-
sons assembled in the front of the court.

THE AMSTERDAM CANAL.

The jurors of the International Exhibition at Amster-
dam have inspected the important undertaking of the new
canal. The canal is to extend from Amsterdam to the
North Sea, and the task of construction includes the closing
and reclaiming of that part of theZnyderZee which lies before
the town. The great sandbanks which lie at the mouth of
the Zuyder Zee causes immense loss to the trade of Am-
sterdam and keeps out the water from the town. As the
health and commerce of Amsterdam steadily declined, the
work now progressing was determined on. It is to be
finished in seven years, and will cost, it is believed, about
22,500,000. The canal will be about sixteen miles from
the sea to the town, three and a half miles being cut
through the dunes. Side canals will have to be made to
Zaandam and other towns. A dam and locks are to be
constructed at the Pampas Sandbank, and an immense
breakwater is to be constructed at the North Sea, with
locks by which vessels will be admitted to the canal.
These sluices will never be opened except for this pur-
pose, as the North Sea is the Dutchman's great enemy.
