JAMES WATT.

James Watt, the fourth child of Mr. Watt, of
Greenock, son of the " old mathematician" and of
Agnes Muirhead, " a braw, braw woman—none
now to be seen like her," was born on the 19th of
January, 1736. Of weak health and precocious
talent, at six years of age it was no uncommon
thing to see him draw mathematical lines and
circles, " marking in letters and figures the result
of some calculations he was carrying on." At
fourteen his conversation was found too in-

tellectually exciting foi a friend and contem-
porary of his mother's. At fifteen he was scolded
by his aunt Muirhead for idleness in watching
and experimentalising on the steam rising from a
tea-pot ; while at about the same age, •' he made
himself a small electrical machine, and sometimes
startled his young friends by given them sudden
shocks from it." Few scientific men have been
more variously capable than Watt. It seemed as
if he might have succeeded in any branch of
science, speculative, mechanical, or experimental,
to which he had chosen to devote himself. He
was an excellent carpenter, as good a chemist and
physiologist as the times and his profession
allowed, a working mechanic of extraordinary
ability, an engineer, mathematician, musical in
strument maker, mathematical instrument maker,
a geometrician, astronomer, and one of the greatest
inventors the world has ever seen. For though his
name has been usually associated only with his
famous improvements in the steam-engine—" that
giant with one idea," as Coleridge called it—he
either sketched out or more vaguely foresaw very
many of the more modern inventions and disco-
veries which have revolutionised society quite
as much as this has done. Of these a copying
machine, the screw propeller, a machine for drying
linen, the consumption of smoke, heating rooms
by steam, the theory of the compound character
of water, a proposed uniformity in weights and
measures based on the decimal system, pneumatic
medicines or the treatment of lung disease by in-
halation, a machine for copying and reducing
sculpture, with others of minor importance, were
sketched or imagined by him. Some were put
into crude action, others only prophesied of as
possible; and to be turned up in the future track
of science. He also introduced into England tend
extensively carried out Berthollet's invention of
bleaching linen by chlorine, to which we now owe .
so much of textile beauty. But his great dis-
coveries were the various improvements he effected
in the steam-engine. This was " the weak side
of nature which he found out and took advantage
of ;" as he said every one might do if they chose.—

DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING.
MADAME LOLA MONTEZ.

The news of this day is all about Lola Montez.
Nothing else is spoken of. She has created quite
a furore here. Last night she effected a triumph,
as they say in the theatrical world. A few pre-
liminary notices in the newspapers that the
" Countess of Lansfeld" would deliver a lecture
a

the Rotunda sufficed to attract the largest
audience which has appeared in the great room of
that building for many years. It is capable of
accommodating about 1,600 persons comfortably ;
but there was little room left for comfort last night.
Every available spot was packed. The lecture was
announced to commence at 8 o'clock, but long pre-
viously the doors were shut against the incoming
throng, the ticket-takers hallooing out, "Full, full."
The platform, which was set apart for the holders
of "reserved" tickets, which by the way cost 3s.
each, was just as densely packed as the body of the
room, to which access was obtained for half the
money. There were but very few ladies present ;
in fact, it was nearly altogether a " gentlemens'
party." At half-past 8 o'clock Madame Montez
made her way to the platform, and after a round
of applause proceeded to deliver her lecture " On
America and its People." She was listened to
throughout with marked attention. The composi-
tion was not without interest, and many passages
called forth laughter and applause. In the
course of her lecture she insisted on the folly of
native Americans trying to ignore the power of the
stranger, and cited official records to show that in
the public employment the foreign element was
establishing its power. The lecture was chiefly
directed to showing her views of the social condi-
tion of the native and the immigrant races, and to
defining, by illustrations of life in America, the
distinction between political and social equality.
Her delivery is animated, distinct, and pleasing.

MURDER IN KILKENNY.
The local papers of Kilkenny report the follow-
ing :

We regret to state, on the authority of a well-
informed correspondent, that a horrible murder was
committed on Monday morning in Urlingford, the
result, it is stated, of a family difference, and the
fatal wound being inflicted, as is supposed, by a near
relative. The unfortunate victim was an old man
named Glenn, who resided with his daughter and son-
ill andwas in the employment of Mr. P. Coyne,
Urlingford. It would seem that the son-in-law, before
his marriage with Glenn's daughter, had had a child
by some other woman, which was sent home to him
shortly after the wedding, the result of which was
a continuous scene of family bickerings. 'On Mon-
day morning the old man went home to his break-
fast from work, and shortly after an alarm was given
and he was found by the neighbours to be in a dying
state, from violence inflicted on his person, sup-
posed to have been the result of the quarrel with
his son-in-law. It is stated that the man ex-
pired before the Roman Catholic clergyman
could reach the house although he was imme-
diately sent for. The supposed murderer is, we
believe, in custody ; but as an inquest was to be
held yesterday by W. J. Maher, Esq., county
coroner, we reserve the further details which our
correspondent has supplied till they are authenti-
eat ed."

told by Sir Frederick Abbott that you have corn-.eted successfully with those who are members of

Lord STANLEY then addressed the cadets to the
following effect—Gentlerae a Cadets :—I feel myself
highly gratified, as all must who have an interest
in this college, at the very satisfactory report we
have received of this institution. I have, in com-
pliance with an old custom of this time and place, to
address a few words of counsel and good will to
those who are about to enter on their career of
service in India. It is a task which I willingly
undertake, and yet one which at the present moment
may seem almost superfluous, for to those who have
eyes to see and ears to hear, the events of the last
tv o years have spoken, and will speak, with far
more force than any words of mine. I do not refer
to the political or social causes of the insurrection
which has taken place : with that we have nothing
to do. What I mean is this—that the great lesson
we have received must impress on thoughtful
minds more strongly than ever was impressed
before the peculiarities of the position which an
Englishman, and especially an Englishman in
military or civil employ, now occupied in the East.
Everything in Asia—public safety, national
honour, personal reputation—rests on the force of
individual character. In Europe law and routine
are the limits of personal action, for society is
stronger than any man in it. , In India, in military
life, particularly, incompetency is never perma-
nently safe from detection ; and valour, with
perseverance, need never despair of an opportunity.
You have lately had a memorable instance of what I
say in General Havelock, who, when the insurrec-
tion broke out, was a man of advanced years—his
life had been in services duly and strictly performed
but comparatively obscure ; and two years ago,
neither himself nor his friends could have antici-
pated that he would take a place in history.
(Cheers). He sought only to do the work that lay
before him. Distinction was long delayed—it came
unsought for, but it came at last. (Renewed cheer-
ing.) Somewhat similar was the career of Sir W.
Nott, the able general who retrieved English hon-
our in Affghanistan. He was for thirty years en-
gaged in ordinary service, in which military genius
found no scope, but late in life he was selected for
the command of the army in Affghanistan, and you
know the result. I dwell on this, because I know
that in the life of those who serve the State abroad
there are apt to be moments of despondency, per-
haps caused by exile and climate, when exertion
seems vain and success hopeless, and when even
active and enterprising men shrink from the labour
of qualifying themselves for a position in which
they may never be placed. If it should chance that
in such moments—for to you such may tome—any
word that I now utter should recur to your minds,
remember this, that you are only passing through
the trial which is common to all who encounter
the hazards of your profesdon, whether abroad or
at home. Remember that that most valuable pub-
lic servant, Lord Metcalfe, who reached the highest
posts of Indian and colcnial administration, once
wrote back from India entreating to be allowed to
Five up the service for which he felt no taste, and
in which lie had no hope of success. Remember
that, if common report be not unfounded, the most
illustrious soldier of English history, the Duke of
Wellington himself, in the early period of his life,
contemplated abandoning the profession in which
he despaired of advancement, and seeking employ-
ment of a different kind. And bear in mind that
when the time of trial arrives—as arrive it will to
those who can work and wait—a few months, a
few weeks, even a few days may suffice to build up
the edifice of fame and success for which the whole
of your previous life has been training. (Loud
cheers.) But such chances occur only for thole who
can turn them to account, and for the highest suc-
cess even of a military life a merely military train-
ing is a very insufficient qualification. (cheers.)
No man, I believe, can be a really efficient general,
far less an efficient administrator, who does not
carefully study the human machinery with which
he is to work, the people of the country in which
he lives and acts. (Cheers.) Do not imagine that
your work is more than begun when you have
acquired the necessary qualification of ha)guage.
Examine the native habits, examine native ideas,
examine native characters, and
least this, even if you wain you will gain at
will avoid that 4" nothing else, that you
all tho- 'norant And unwise contempt for
As Asiatic, which personally and politically
noes Englishmen so much harm in the East.
(Cheers.) You cannot live, however you may
attempt, in a state of indifference to those who
surround you. If you do not bear them good will,
you will bear them ill will ; and as it seems the
law of nature between different ram pf men, that

until they get acquainted, a certain repugnance
shall exist, so it is equally certain that by better
knowledge will that repugnance be dispelled.
(Cheers.) Were I addressing you this time last year,
I should have addressed a word of caution against
the popular absurdity—for it is no less--of imput-
ing to one hundred and fifty millions of mankind
a participation in the atrocities of a few criminals
and fanatics. But that sort of feeling is over in
England—it has almost come to an end ;we are
free from the influence of passion, and we have
learnt to recognise in men like Scindia, like the
Rajah of Puttealch, like the Nizam and his minis-
ter of Salais, like Jung Bahadoer—aye, and like
the gallant native recruits who have fought side by
side with the Europeans, with no unequal courage,
against rebels and mutineers, the possession of
manly qualities that may make us well content to
recognise them as fripds and supporters of British
power. (Loud cheers.) I have spoken to you as
men who aspire to, and all are prepared to struggle
for, the highest prize of life, and I hold it needless
to warn you against the vulgar temptation of indo-
lence, or extravagance, or pleasure. Others will
tell you, and I believe it will not be in vain, how
the brightest prospects may be clouded, and the
most vigorous energies impaired by debts hastily
contracted, and not for long years shaken off.
Others will warn you that you are one of the few.
among the many, and I think you will take the
warning that in a climate not naturally congenial
to Englishmen the connection between even a slight
violation of temperance and disease of body and
mind is far more invariable and certain than at
home. I a-'.d only this : Remember (though to
some of you it may have a startling sound) that for
an European in India there is, strictly speaking,
no private life ; he is one of the ruling race—the
few among the many—one of a population some
ten thousand strong among more than one
hundred millions. There are, little as he may
know or care about it, quick eyes to watch his
conduct, and envious tongues ready enough to
disparage his nation and his race. This is not
merely a personal matter. A single officer who
forgets that he is an officer and a gentleman, does
more harm to the moral influence of this country
than ten men of blameless life can do good. To
you, therefore, in more senses than one, the honour
of England is committed ; you are the representa-
tives not only of our military strength, but also of
our national character. You go forth from a col-
lege which has trained through a long series of
years many of the ablest public servants whom
the empire has ever produced. I hope that its per-
manence and its prosperity may be equal to its
deserts ; that you, its latest representatives, may
be worthy of those who have gone before, and that
among the names of those whom I address, some
names, at least, may live in the records, not only
of this college, but of the country, connected with
honourable exploits of war, or with the glory of
skilful and successful administration. I wish you
God speed, and I believe that whatever may hap-
pen you will do your duty. The noble lord sat
down amidst loud cheering.
The company then proceeded to inspect the
models and drawings, which were of the usua-
character.

Lord Stanley and the visitors afterwards retired
to the official residence of the Lieutenant-Governor,
Major-General Abbott, where luncheon was pro-
vided. The day's proceeding appeared to give
general satisfaction.

THE SECRET SOCIETIES-ARRESTS IN
BANTRY AND SKIBBEREEN.

(From the Cork Examiner Of Friday.)
Those towns were, on Tuesday and Wednesday,
made the scene of considerable excitement, arrests
having been made of several respectable parties for
an alleged connection with some secret political or-
ganisation. A correspondent in Bantry informs
us that on Tuesday night a mounted policeman
arrived in that town from Skibbereen, at about
8 o'clock, when, immediately after, all the police
who are not laid up from over duty, turned out,
with fixed bayonets, and proceeded to the rooms
occupied by the Young Men's Society. Two young
men named M`Carthy and Cullinane, who were
reading in the room, were then arrested. The
police then proceeded to the house of a widow
Sullivan' and, it is stated, refusing -to assign any
reason for their conduct, arrested her eldest son.
On Wednesday morning the parties were sent off
at daybreak to Cork Gaol, escorted by a large force
of armed police. All these young men, who are
about twenty years of age, are exceedingly respect-
able in their line of life as shopkeepers, and bear
most unexceptionable characters. Our correspon-
dent refers to some smashing of glass and burning
of a small quantity of hay in that town, and gives
an explanation which throws rather a ludicrous
light upon the importance assigned. However, as
the matter is likely to become the subject of legal
investigation, we should prefer not entering further
into it for the present.

Another correspondent sends us the following in
reference to the same subject :

SUPPOSED SECRET SOCIETIES IN BANTRY-TIIE
GOVERNMENT PROCLAMATION---.ITS FRUIT-

ARRISI'S.

BANTRY, Tuesday Night, Dec. 7.—The truth of
your judicious and truly excellent recent articles,
on the results of secret. organisations, has been fully
and painfully illustrated to-night in this peaceable
little town, by the unexpected arrest of three re-
spectable young men—boys I should rather say, as
the oldest cannot have attained his twentieth year.
They have been arrested on sworn informations
made, it would appear, by some fellow, who is
stated to be at present in safe keeping in Cork.
The parties arrested are—Messrs. Denis Sulli-
van, Jeremiah Cullinane, and Timothy M'Carthy,
all members of respectable families of the town,
who have been thrown into a state of the greatest
terror and affliction by a proceeding so summary
and unexpected.
Report is that fourteen other arrests of a similar
nature were to-day made in Skibbereen also.
It appears that all will be removed early to-
morrow to Cork to undergo examination there in
the course of a week, before some tribunal or au-
thorities constituted for this special purpose. It is
said they will be detained in Cork Gaol (bail being
refused) until the assizes.
It is to be hoped that the suddenness and unpre-
paredness of the measures adopted will not be un-
fairly availed of, to their prejudice, by depriving
them of the advantage of competent 4egal assistance.
Of their guilt their nearest friends here, it appears,
are unaware, and utterly disbelieve that they have
in aught committed themselves in any manner to
justify these proceedings.
I enclose my name, in confidence, and remain,
dear sir, your obedient servant, " A BANTRY MAN.
Wednesday Morning.—l open this letter to say
that the parties were sent off to Cork at a very
early hour this morning. .
SKIBBEREEN.

From Skibbereen we have tb. following :
SKIBBEREEN, Dec. 8, 1858.—Our town this
morning presented an unusual appearance indeed.
Numbers of our respectable fellow-townsmen and
women may be seen with hurried steps and palpi-
tating hearts running to the police barracks, several
arrests having been made during the night; 12
were arrested in their beds—all young, respectable,
though misguided men. They have been forwarded
on three coaches to Cork Gaol, under a strong police
force under the command of Sub-Inspector Potter.
They were arrested on warrants signed by Mr.
Fitzmaurice, It.M., on, it appears, an information
sworn by a man named Sullivan, from Kenmare,
son to a person, it is said, in W. S. Trench's em-
ployment, and sent specially to become a member
of the society to enable him to betray his associates.
As far as I can learn, the parties arrested are
Dan M'Cartie, jun., Jeremiah Donovan (Itossa),
John Stack, jun., M. Moynahane, Patrick Down-
ing, Eugene M'Carthy, M. Downing, Jerh. Driscoll,
John: Shea, and others whose names I did not learn.
Immense crowds gathered round the coaohcs as
they left, and, strange, they were loudly cheered
by the people, men and women, until out of sight,
the prisoners themselves joining in the cheer.
No one here believed in any serious conspiracy,
nor do many yet: Your articles on the subject
were very good.
There is to be a further examination of the pri-
soners in Cork on the 14th.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.
(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.)
Yesterday fifteen young men, twelve from Skib-
bereen and three from Bantry, were handed over
to the Governor of the Cork County Gao], on a
charge of being connected with an illegal society
called the " Phoenix Club." Their names are :
Morty Downing, Jeremiah Donovan, Morty
Moynahane, Daniel M'Carthy, Jeremiah Dris.
coil, Eugene M'Carthy, Denis Downing, Timothy
Duggan, Patrick Downing, James Stack, Thomas
O'Shea, William O'Brien, Jeremiah Cullinane,
Denis Sullivan, and Timothy M'Carthy. Three
of them were, at the time of their arrest, clerks
to a well-known solicitor of high standing in
Skibbereen, another was a national school teacher

in Skibbereen, another had been a clerk in .a
brewery, at a salary of £lOO a year, but had been
discharged some time before, in consequence of
his employers becoming aware of his connection
with the society. Another, Marty Downing, had
been in the police force, but had lately kept a public-
house in Skibbercen,and was deprived by the magi-
strates of his licence last October, for being a
member of the society. The others are all young
men of about the same class in life, namely, well-
educated, respectable, and intelligent, and much
above the rank of the common peasantry. What
the nature of the evidence against them is has not
transpired, but it seems they were examined before
the Stipendiary Magistrate of the district, who
committed them, after a strictly private investiga-
tion, to the County Gaol, and in addition to being
charged as members of an illegal society, they are
and,
also accused of having been illegally drilling with
pikes, gnns, and other weapons. They arrived at
