THE SOCIETY OF ARTS.

. . .
The Council of the Society of Arts has just issued
a list of subjects for papers upon which Premiums
will be Offered during the sessions 1858-59 and
1859.410. The circular accompanying the list says :
" The council; in issuing the subjoined list of
desiderata, would urge upon the members of the
society generally, and others, the importance of
communicating detailed accounts of new processes I
in arts or methods of manufacture, of any modifica-
tions by which these may be' simplified, or labour
saved, and of any novel application of raw materials,
whether previously- known or not, to useful pur-
poses. It is quite. possible that some of the things
set down as to be done may have been already
accomplished; but in such cases the knowledge of
them is limited. One of the objects of this society
is to elicit discussion on the subjects with which it
deals, to see that nothing is concealed which may
in any way tend, to promote the good of all, and to
record facts and opinions. The weekly meetings,
and the Journal of the Society of -Arts, afford the
requisite facilities for effecting this; and the council
earnestly hope that the opportunities thus given
may be taken advantage
.of. Patented inventions
are not excluded from receiving the society's rewards.
The society is willing to receive communications on
subjects not included in the list, but in all cases
expressly' "reserves
_the power -rewarding any
communication according to its merit or of, with-
holding the premium altogether. The degree of ori-
ginality and extent of suggestions for improvements
will have material influence on the adjudication
of the award. 'All communications must be accorn-
Panied. by such drawings, models, or specimens as
may be necessary to illustrate the subject. In
regard to colonial produce of all kinds, it is abso-
lutely necessary that a certificate from the governor,
or qualified persons,- should accompany the samples
sent to the .society, certifying-that they really are
the produce ,of the particular district referred to.
The samples should .be sufficient in quantity to
enable experiments to be made, and an opinion to
be formed of their quality ; and it is desirable that
the-cost price in the district from which they are
forwarded should be.given. In every instance the
probable extent of supply, with the average yield,
if cultivated, and whether_ similar articles have
hitherto been exported from the colony or not, and
in what quantities, should be stated. All commu-
nications and articles intended for competition
must be delivered, addressed to the secretary, at
the society's house, free of expense, either on or
before the 31st of March, 1859, or. on or before the
31st of March, 1860. In the first case they will 'be
considered during the_ session 1858-59, in the second
case during"the , session 1859-60. This restriction
as to the date of receipt does . not apply to articles
of colonial produce in respect of which this list is
valid until 31st December, 1860. Any communica-
tion rewarded by the society, or any paper read at
an ordinary meeting,- will be considered as the
property of the society. Should the council delay
its publication beyond twelve months after the date
of its being rewarded or read, the author will be
permitted to take a copy of the same, and to pub•
lish it in any way he thinks fit."
The following special -prizes are at the head of
the premium list ::•—•
" Under the will of Dr. Swiuey, a silver goblet,
of the value of £lOO. sterling, containing gold coin
to the same amount, is presented on every fifth
anniversary of Dr.. Swiney's death to the author of
the best published treatise on jurisprudence. The
next award of this prize will be made on the 20th
clay of January, 1859. . _
"-A donation by Benjamin Oliveira, Esq., having
been placed at• tile disposal ,of the council, to.be
awarded as a special premium, they haVe decided
to offer the-society's gold medal for the-discovery of
a substitute for cotton, to be produced in such
quantities. and at such cost as will render it avail-
able for commercial and manufacturin purposes.
" A gold medal is offered in conformity with the
will of the late Dr. Fothergill for the production
of an incombustible paper, so as to render the
ledgers of commercial men; bankers, &c., indestruc-
tible by fire.
" A silver medallion is offered, in conformity with
the will of the late John Stock, for a design for an
institute, comprising a hall-for lectures and music,
two or three class-rooms, a reading-room, and a
library which must be in one, or in communication,
offices, and apartments for the librarian. The
principal rooms should be so arranged that they
may be easily used together for the purposes of ex-
hibition. The plan must be suited for an institu-
tions having 200 members, and be capable of exten-
sion so as to meet the wants of institutions having
1,000 members. Provision must be made for light-
ing and ventilating the whole of the building."
The general list comprises 149 subjects for com-
munication upon which 'the society's gold and
silver medals will be awarded. The following are
from this list :

"4. No cause is to be called on for hearing or trial
; until after the expiration of 10 days from the day

ATTEMPT TO MURDER OX BOARD
SHIP.

Captain John Binnett, of the barque Express,
now lying at Queenstown, has been charged with
firing a loaded pistol at Joseph Worthington, car-
penter of the vessel, against whom there is a cross
charge of insubordination. The charge against
Worthington was first proceeded with. From the
captain's evidence it appeared that, on the evening
of the 23d Dec., Worthington quarrelled with hint
and the steward, and was grossly impertinent and
insubordinate, saying that he had supreme autho-
rity in the ship, and refusing to leave the cabin
when directed to do so. The captain then took a
four-barrelled revolver, belonging to a passenger,
and said he certainly would use it, if necessary, for
his own protection. While in that position, with
the pistol in his hand, Worthington knocked him.
down, took the pistol away, presented it at him and
pulled the trigger, but it missed fire. He then went
out of the cabin, and the captain heard three shots
fired successively, one after another. Then, when
the captain was sitting in his cabin, some person
whom he did not see, but whom he suspected to bo
Worthington, fired a shot into the cabin. He pro-
duced the steward and a boy to support his state-
ment, but their evidence was not substantially cor-
roborative of it. The charge against the captain of
firing a loaded pistol at Worthington with
intent
to murder him was then gone into. The evidence
re
d
to sustain it was, that when the disputeocfcurorm former
t
between the captain and Worthington,
took up the pistol, and threatimed
out of
to b. the
low the lat-
ter's ran brains out. Worthington on this
the cabin to the forward part of the vessel,.t crying
out to the men that the captain was going to shoot
him. One, of the seamen, named Rules, hear-
ing" Captain, what
him, said, " No one shall shoot anyone here,"
and ran into the cabin and said,
do P" " going to blow tho
are you going to .
• Worthington
carpenters brains out,"
then went into the cabinand
made a rush at the
w. as tile reply
captain to take the pistol from hini. Hines ran
between them and caught them. both bthe collar,
holding them as far apart as possible. While doing
this the captain fired the pistol, and the shot passed
throughre tc hj ong
Tines' waistcoat, which, owing to bia
s
keep
the parties asunder, was
partly
pen, and lodged in the bulkhead at the
stretching back to
height of four feet and a half from the floor.
Worthington then ran over and knocked the captain
down, taking the revolver from him. Hines said
to him, " W orthington, give me the pistol." " I
will not," said he. " Well," said Rines, "go and
fire it over the bulwarks." To this he assented,
and fired the shots into the river, keeping pos ession
of the pistol. The steward, who we s very drunk,
ran out then and made a blow of a knife at Wm th-
in4ton, and Rines stopped him. Hines afterwards
asked the captain if he had any more weapons, and
on receiving a reply in the negative, said, " Go to
your berth, and I'll take care no one shall insult
you." This the captain did, and Rines locked vp
the steward, thus putting an end to the disturbance;
The bench .decided on dismissing the charge against
Worthington, and took information; against the
captain, returnable to quarter sessions, but dn. ectei
that he should be allowed out on bail on giving twa.
sureties in £25 each, and himself in £lOO. ,
