The western section was well adapted for: agricultural
operations. All kinds of grain could he produced in abun—
dance,.and pears, apples, and all kinds "of vegetable, ;Town
in England succeeded admirably. - The undulating surface
of the hills was well wooded, bearing trees of verious kinds.
The eastern section was favourably spoken of ; and in
course of his remarks upon the Frazer River Dr. Shaw
stated that it abounded in fish, as also did the- other rivers
in the district. Geese, ducks, and waterfowl. were plenti-
ful in the spring and summer. In the western section of
the country wild animals of various kinds were met with in
great numbers. _ .

Sir RODERICK MURCHISON said that he thought the

subject of Dr. Shaw's paper was of great importance, espe—
cially as very valuable auriferous deposits had lately been
discovered along the chain of mountains connecting British
North America with Russian America. With respect to
tho physical geography of the district, they would, no doubt,
receive additional information from Sir John Richardson,
the companion of Franklin, with whose presenbe they were
favoured, and Lord Goderich would probably advert to the
briportatice of this region to Great Britain. ; -
Sir JoHN Ricnannsox said that the facts given in Dr.
Shaw's paper had evidently been collected with great care,
but he thought that justice had scarcely been done to the
Hudson's Bay Company. In speaking of the credit due to
the Hudson's Bay Company he (Sir John) alluded particu-
larly to their treatment of the natives throughout Canada.
Nowhere in North America was the red man to be found
except in-that portion of the country which was under the
management of- the Hudson's Bay Company. They had
treated the Indians kindly, and had encouraged missiona-
ries to go among them, by whose instrumentality the
greater portion of the natives had become Christians,
and were springing up as a Christian. Community. He
feared that the discovery of gold in the vicinity of the
Frazer River would tend. to sweep the 'lndians from the
face of the earth, as had been the general result of the influx
of the white man into 'the territories of the red man. Un-
less the gold seekers conducted themselves orderly a long
time would not &apt e before theywould war with the
native,), Sir John Richardson mentioned one or two facts
in reference to the climate of the country; and
Lord •GODERICII next made some observations on the sub-
ject of the paper. He said he fully believed that that por-
tion of the British possessions which had been referred to
was of great-political and national importance: He thought
that a very considerable-portien of it was perfectly avail-
able for the purposes of colonisation, and might be culti-
vated with advantage. A committee of the House of Com-
mons, of which lie was a member, came to the conclusion,
about 18 months ago, that the country on both aides of the
Rocky Mountains, particularly westward of them, might
be made in a short time available for colonisation. How to
deal with the Indians was a very difficult question. No
doubt, hitherto, wherever the red race had come into com-
munication with the white it had gradually diminished and
disappeared, but he did not think that fact ought to debar
the population of this country from colonising so large a
portion of her possessions as was comprised in the territory
under the government of the Hudson's Bay Company.
The discovery of gold, however, had decided the question
of colonisation. Many of the English people had already
entered the country, and as it appeared from the highest
authorities that the district was likely to yield a large
supply of gold, no doubt the number of emigrants
thither would largely increase, and a considerable
population would . before long permanently settle
there, and that country, which had been recently
called British Columbia, would soon become a flourishing
colony. His lordship said that the favourable situation of
the country was increased from its contiguity to the United
States, and he observed that some attention had been di-
rected to the practicability of constructing a line of railway
through the whole of the British possessions in that part of
the world, from Canada, over or through the Rocky Moun-
tains, to the Pacific. It was most important that the atten-
tion of the public should be directed to British Columbia,
and that the best course should be taken to colonise it and
develope its resources. He believed it was destined to be a
very important part of our colonial empire.
Professor TENNANT alluded to the difference in the value
of the gold obtained in Australia and California and that
which had been found in British Columbia. He said that
Australian gold was -worth X-1 an ounce, Californian £3155.,
and that got from the Frazer River district £3 Ils. Ha
strongly urged that attention should be directed to the im-
portance of procuring other metals besides gold, such as
copper, tin, silver, which were frequently to be found
in the ore from which gold was obtained, and which would
prove equally as remunerative as what was generally con-
sidered the more precious metal. (Hear, hear.)
Lieut.-Col. JAMES,' the superintendent of the Ordnance
survey, gave an interesting statement of the steps which
have been taken by the Government for the exploration
of the new colony of Columbia. He expressed a belief
that the men who were making that survey, by uniting the
qualifications of the soldier aid the artificer, would be
enabled to preserve order in the country, and also to assis
in providing the necessary appliances for the establishmen
of a new colony. (Hear, hear.)
The discussion was closed by the CHAIRMAN observing
that lie hoped that public attention would be aroused to the
importance of the subject, and intimating that the question
of a railway communication through the British territories
in North America would form the subject of a paper to be
read at a future meeting of the section.
Mr. CLEMENTS R. Maiticilasi' secretary of the Royal
Hakluyt Society, then read to a diminished auditory a paper
"On the Navigation of the Ucayalt, an affluent of the
Amazon." The President, in thanking Mr. Markham for
his contribution, remarked that it„was the result of that
gentleman's own experience and observation rather than a
reproduction of the writings of others.
In Section F, which was for the consideration of subjects
classed under the " Economic Science and Statistical" after
an opening address from the President, Mr. E. Baines, of
Leeds.
Dr. J. STRANG, of Glasgow, read a paper " On the Water
Supply to Great Towns—its extent, cost, uses, and abuses."
Mr. T. BAZLEY, of Manchester, read an interesting
paper entitled, "Trade and Commerce, the Auxiliaries of
Civilisation and Comfort." •

Mr. W. NEW MARCH of London, addressed the section
"On the History of Prices of 18.57 and 1858." He said
that at the meeting of the British Association in Dublin
last year a paper was read by him on a subject some-
what analogous to the paper he had to submit to the pre-
sent meeting. On that paper a discussion arose, and many
of the opinions he had advanced were somewhat vehe-
mently contested. One of the statements he made a Dublin
last year, and the statement probably which obtained the
least amount of adhesion at that time, was to the effect
that the high range of prices which was prevailing last
year, as regarded nearly all classes of commodities, was a
range of prices which had not been occasioned and which
did not prevail in consequence of the large numerical addi-
tion made since 1848 to the quantity of the circulating me-
dium in the world, meaning by "circulating medium"
metallic money, but was to be attributed in the largest de- ;
gree and in the greatest number of instances to an excessive,
and, he ventured to say at that time, a vicious application
of capital and credit to speculation in commodities. (Hear,
hear.) Since that statement was made events had taken
place to winch he need not in the town of Leeds refer.
Down to the present time there had been added from the
new sources of supply—California and Australia—at least
£230,000,000 sterling to the former stock, so that the addi-
tion was something like 40 per cent, It appeared to be a
very startling doctrine to lay down at the end of seven
years, during which an addition had been made of some-
thing like 40 or 50 per cent. to the amount of metallic
money, prices were somewhat lower. These facts struck
very much at the root of those doctrines which had been
assumed as almost axiomatic as to the relation of the
gold discoveries to the price of commodities. He should be.
asked where this £230,000,000 of new gold had gone. It
had been absorbed in increasing incomes, in increasing ex-
penditure, in increasing wages, in increasing commodities,
and in increasing dealings. The effect of the new gold had
been to apply a stimulus, of which he believed it was im-
possible to estimate the force, to all industrial enterprise,
and the truth was that those enormous additions had little
more than sufficed to meet the increased demand for
metallic money on the part of the civilized portiion of the
world. The results developed in this country and elsewhere
by the crisis of last year resolved themselves into five con-
clusions ;—First, That throughout the United Kingdom,
America, and the North of Europe, and throughout the
great seats of commerce, there had been an excessive
speculation in commodities, and likewise an excessive
application of capital and credit to deal in those commodi-
ties, which were held by parties with a view to making a
profit by resale within short periods. Second, That there
had been excessive credit. Third, That there had been ex-
cessive advances by banks. Fourth, That there had been
an excessive accumulation of deposits in banks. And it
appeared in the fifth place, that one very striking feature in
the crisis, not only in this. country but in America, had been
the very high rate of interest allowed by banks upon money
deposited with them on various conditions. He was dis-
posed to think that principally at the root of the
mischief was the excessive application, through the
medium of banks ,of quantitics'of floating- capital in the
manner he had mentioned—nameTy, the dealing backwards
and forwards in large quantities of commodities under the
expectation of making a profit by the resale at short periods.
He might be asked whether, after the gold discoveries
which had taken place in 'Vancouver's Island and the un-
diminished amount of gold we were receiving from Aus-
tralia and California, it was not now certain that the time
had come when fixed incomes would be affected? He was
very much disposed to believe that taking the impetus
which had been imparted already to the industrial organisa-
tion of the great commercial countries of the world—taking
that in connexion with the strides that were making every
day in the application of science, it would be found during
the next few years, as it had been found during the last six
or seven years, that the apprehensions of those persons
who believed that fixed incomes would be affected would
not be realised.
Professor CAIRNES objected to some of the facts and to
the principle of comparison adopted by Mr. Newmarch.
Mr. R.M. Milnes and Mr. Nussey also made a few ob-
servations upon the paper.
Mr. F. G. P. NEISON7 of London, read an able paper en-
titled " An examination of
i they infiu.ence of overcrowding
and density of population, n poducpig phthisis and dis-
eases
some
questionso f the re s pato r r organs, applied to the solution of
discussed
in the recent Report on the Sani-
tary Commission of the Army."
In Section G, which was for the consideration of me-
chanical science.
The PRESIDENT (Mr. W. Fairbairn, of Manchester) re-
viewed the progress of mechanical science in an elaborate
address. In mechanical science and general engineering
this country continues to maintain its high position. Mal-
leable iron, now applied to the construction of bridges, was
capable of great development, and there was no span within
the limit of 1,000 feet which might not be compassed by the
hollow girder bridge. With respect to steam navigation
much remained to be done, with the object of giving uni-
forinity of strength and security of construction. The
Leviathan, with all her misfortunes, was a magnificent
specimen of naval arohitecture the cellular system so judi-
ciously introduced by Mr. Brunel being her great source of
strength. He was so persuaded of the security of the prin-
ciple upon which she had been constructed that he had no
doubt she would stand the test of being suspended upon the
two extreme points of stem and stern with all her machi-
nery on board, or she might be poised upon a point in the
middle, like a scale beam, without fracture or injury to the
material of which she is composed. He expressed the hope
that the necessary funds would be forthcoming to complete
her equipment, and we should then see her dashing aside
the surge of the Atlantic at a speed of 18 to 20 knots an
. hour. In this country we have now 9,500 miles of rail-
; way, and, taking at a rough calculation, one locomotive
engine with a force of 200 horse power to every three

.of ,and asgttming each.;::, to -run 120
miles per day, we might thence calculate• the distance
travelled over by trains to be equal to 380,000 miles per
day, .or 138,000,000 miles per annum. To transport
these trains required a force equivalent to 200,000 horses in
constant 'operation throughout the year. Referring to
manufactures, he nttribUted the depression existing in many
branches to the disturbed state of India and China, and,
with these exceptions, believed that the manufactures of
this country were never in• a more flourishing condition.
The iron trade, which had been similarly depressed, had
witnessed many improvements, such as the improved pro-
cess by which malleable iron and steel were now produced,
and the manufacture of steel bars and plates without the
intervention of an intermediate and tedious process. A
reference to the improved machinery now demanded for
purposes of agriculture, and--to thee constimmation of tele-
graphic communication betwe€ri 'the-Old and'Neit World,
terminated the address. -

Mr. JAMES OLDHAM; C:E.; -Pull, read a paper elucula-
tory of a buoy, ealleta."GYeshamlbuov," which Iva stniended
to record disasters at sea. During the last 15 years, ending
with 18.57, there were wrecked, burnt, or missing 8,998
sailing vessels and 175 steam vessels, giving alofal of 9,173
vessels, or an average of 611 ships per annum. In 1857
there were 37,014 British registered vessels, of wliicfi 662
were lost, or at the rate of 1.78 per. cent. Ti remedy, in
some measure, the dreadful suspense into wltichtoultitucles
are thrown by ships missing, a gentleman Mr. _Gresham
—proposed that every vessel should be -prdvlded with
one or more copper buoys bearing her name and the
port to which she belongs ' • that these buoys should
also have an Admiralty mark and a Board of Trade num-
ber, and that each should be provided with a chamber with
a small spring valve made to open outwards, and capable of
resisting any pressure which should be used, for receiving
letters, or even treasures, so that. if thh -ship were hist-the
buoy would float off in safety, and the infOrznatiorLit con-
tained would be communicated to the parties interested by
any ship which might pick it up. The buoy was intended
to be made of strong copper, painted in bright red and white
stripes; and to be fitted with a small bell and flag on the
upper part.
Mr. JOSEPH GLYNN, F.R.S., C.E., read a paper on the
economy of water-power. He advocated the use of the
horizontal wheels, in which the water drove round a fan
with curved vanes having a vertical itti4, and revolving in
an iron ease—the water escaping at the centre. This adap-
tation economised water, and gave power equal to that of
an overshot wheel.

Professor RANKIN expressed his opinion that horizontal
water-wheels might be more largely, used, and
Mr. ROBERTS and the President of the Section concurred.
Mr. G. RENNIE, C.E., read an interesting paper on the
construction of floating and fixed batteries. The essay was
illustrated by models.

Captain FISHBOURNE was of opinion that with such an
extreme weight of iron it would be impracticable to build
seagoing ships. The rapidity of the motion of the Aga-
memnon, when she had the cable on board, had the effect
of nearly disintegrating the ship, and she must have had an
enormous strain upon her when she suffered in the way that
had been already publicly described. The principle advo-
cated by Mr. Rennie could only, he was afraid, be used in
exceptional cases.
Captain BLARELEY expressed a similar opinion.
Mr. Smmr, C.E., thought that if wood or some other
similar substance could be built over the iron shell of the
vessel it would preserve the ship from guns of ordinary
construction.

Mr. SCOTT RUSSELL said the question before the section
was one of some difficulty. The French Government were
carrying on a series of experiments, as were also the English
Engnliosthat Government lir at prew were

adopting a very wise and judicious course ; they were
making their experiments now before they built their ships.
ntoature comm of
tu
The point with which, as mechanical men, they had to do,
was, whether wooden vessels of war were equal to the work
of iron vessels. If the English Government found that war
ships would be more advantageously constructed with shot-
proof sides and otherwise protected with iron, then he had
no doubt that engineers and shipbuilders would be found
who would both get the material and construct the vessel
in a proper manner. (Hear, hear.) And he was also of
opinion that it was possible to make ships with shot-proof
sides which would have also good weatherly qualities.
After some further discussion the CHAIRMAN, in sum-
ming up, said that the Admiralty, some 15 years ago, had
decided against iron ships in consequence of the experiments
they then made.
An excellent paper " On the Performance of Steamves-
sels the Functions of the Screw, and the Relation of its
Diameter mid Pitch to the Form of the Vessel," by Vice-
Admiral Moorsom, was next read by the secretary, Mr.
Wright, in the absence of the gallant admiral. The memo-
randum was one of a purely technical character, and as the
subject has been referred to a committee of the association,
on which are Mr. Scott Russell, Mr. Napier, Professor
Rankin, and other eminent authorities, there is no doubt
that it will receive that careful and particular consideration
to which its importance entitles it.
Mr. C. F. Witirwonrii illustrated his recent improve-
ments in railway signals by two very pretty models. One
of those represented a line of rails in the neighbourhood of
a station with the distant signal. By slightly inclining a
particular pair of rails, and fixing a communication between
them and the signals, the train announces itself as soon as
it passes over the permanent way, and the signal, exhibited
for the information of succeeding engine drivers, announces
that a train has just passed, and that it would be dangerous
for them to continue their journey until the obstruction
is removed. Mr. Whitworth also exhibited a model of a
railway signal intended to be attended by an ordinary sig-
nal man. The new principle in it was the use of a wheel
instead of a lever. This wheel, like the wheel of a vessel,
moved the arms of the signal, and registered the fact of its
having done so, by ringing a bell both at the station and at
the wheel itself. In misty weather, consequently, the sig-
nal man would be perfectly aware when he had discharged
his duty and when the proper signal was displayed.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO PRINCE GHIKA AT PARIS.
—On Wednesday evening the Wallachian Prince Ghika,
who has been staying at Paris lately, was thrown out of his
phaeton at the Rond Point, in the Champ Elysees, the
horses having started off in a fright, and fell upon his head.
li • was carried into an apothecary's shop, and promptly
attended to, but he died almost immediately.
