THE ADELAIDE GALLERY.

There was on Saturday a private exhibition of a new philo-
sophical instrument, of very recent invention, termed the
" Self-acting electro-magnetic machine," which promises,
when its powers shall be more fully developed, important re-
sults to the cause of science. This machine is so arranged
that a current of electricity, induced by the voltaic battery,
causes a spindle to revolve rapidly, producing sparks of elec-
trical light, from metallic points which alternately dip in mer-
cury. At present the principal object that the inventor, Mr.
Saxton, seems to have in view, beyond the exhibition of a
very beautiful philosophical experiment, is the application of
this machine to medical purposes, for which the simplicity of
its construction, and the ease with which it is put in motion,
render it peculiarly fit. By the aid of it, and without an at-
tendant, any person can, at will, avail himself of all the medi-
cinal power of electricity, by passing an electrical current
through any part of his body for as long a time as may be de-
sired. But it is by no means improbable that the principle of
this machine, through its power of producing sudden and rapid
motion, may hereafter be found applicable to still more im-
portant purposes. A gentleman who was present suggested a
trial of this new power on a small boat which floats on the
canal in the great room Gf the Adelaide Gallery, and it is sup-
posed that the vessel may, for so long a time as the action of
the galvanic battery lasts, be impelled by it. The mode of
producing that action, as well as the battery used for this pur-
pose, are extremely simple, requiring only a weak infusion of
vitriolic acid, or common salt in water. The machin e may
also be used for a variety of curious electro-magnetic experi-
ments. Other interesting subjects are preparing for exhi-
bition at the Adelaide Gallery, among which is a glass lens,
four inches thick and three feet in diameter, with a power, it
is said, of condensing the sun's rays so as to fuse gold. The
whole establishment, for the degree in which it combines
amusement with instruction, forms one of the most attractive
places of resort in the metropolis.

DUBLIN.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Mr. Goulburn endeavoured to persuade the House of Com-
mons, in the debate on the Orange Addresses, that the " most
gracious" reception of those effusions, attributed to his Ma-
jesty, was a mere form, and no more than the usual routine ob-
served on all occasions. We might refer to a certain tardy
answer of the Duke of Wellington to the Earl of Durham, who
had transmitted sonic addresses to his Grace while he was the
Cabinet, for a refutation of that attempted defence. The
Duke's letter contained no word or syllable of gracious im
port, from Alpha to Omega. It was stern and repulsive al-
most to personal rudeness. Oh, no, parry it as they will, it is
only the congenial address which elicits the gracious answer;
anl the Orange Lodges were greeted with cordiality, because
at the time that their addresses were sent over, Ministers were
yet under the delusion of re-action, and had hopes of being
able to yule Ireland on Orange principles.
They ►zow know their mistake ; and the Home Secretary
strives, in his own clumsy way, to back them out of it. Be
also is now cc Reformer—save the mark—and demands a fair
trial that he ntay assist in carrying out the designs of the late
Cabinet. Buy this will not pass. As your able correspondent,
Milo, has well observed, they "have been tried." Yea, even
since their return to office they have been tried, and stand ,
self-condemned. 'This is true of theni all; but Goulburn, par
excellence, is convit ted upon the evidence of these very
addresses. The latest trf them, that of the Dublin Aggregate
Meeting of Orange Lodges, at which the Lord Mayor pre-
sided, is enough to seal his Zellers Dimissory to all the Col-
leges in Christendom as an Anti- Reformer in blood and bone.
It is not so much on his general approbation of the senti-
ments expressed in that address that this assertion is founded,
as on the particular passage of it which he selects to make it
the subject of his praise. The document is tolerably lengthy
and comprehends a variety of topics. It dilates learnedly and
largely on the Protestant principles which placed the reigning
family on the throne; glorifies the King for his speech to the
Bishops ; expresses in a short, but pithy phrase, deep-felt gra-
titude for the dismissal of his "late revolutionary Ministers,"
and finally launches out in a fine affectionate prayer for a long
and happy reign, to be passed in the footsteps of George the
Third. Here were many points, interesting to the King's
personal feelings, on which his Majesty might be expected to
derive some gratification ; but the Home Secretary nails the
royal consideration to one only, and that the brief but harsh
allusion to the expulsion of the late Government. Ecce
signum—

" Whitehall, Jan. 21, 1835.
" Sir,-1 have had the honour to lay before the King the loyal
and dutiful address, signed by you and others, on the late change
of Administration; and I have the satisfaction to inform you that
his Majesty was pleased to receive the same in the most gracious
manner. " H. GOULBURN."
' Is this afacon de parley? or is it not rather—
" A close denotement working from the heart,
Which passion cannot rule?"
The Church is cast out of sight, the good old King is left
to " rest in the shade," the expressions of affectionate attach-
ment to his Majesty's person are thought nothing of, while
Mr. Goulburn's most gracious consideration is fastened and
rivetted upon the bugbear so familiar to the thonghts and
tongue of every one who dreads Reform, the revolutionary
charge against the Whigs. To that point alone in the whole
of the address does he direct his commendation of the dutiful
and loyal dispositions of the Dublin Orangemen.
And after all this, he claims credit to himself as a Reformer,
and joins his associates in demanding afair trial !

The printer of the Freeman's Jonrnal, having been
arrested for an alleged libel in that paper on the Established
Church, under the title of " The Parsons," tendered bail to
the magistrates, and was liberated on entering into recogni-
zances to abide his trial at the next commission, himself in
1001., and two sureties of 501. each.

Three sheep were shot on Sunday at Worle, in con-
sequence of their having gone mad. It is supposed that they
were bitten about a month since by a mad dog.—Bristol
Mercury.

THE LEEDS TRADE.---There was not quite so
much business done at the Cloth Halls this week as has been
the casesfor several weeks previous ; there was, nevertheless,
a fair quantity of goods sold : prices remain the same as for
some time past, and the stock of goods in the halls is very
much reduced in quantity since the commencement of the year.
In the warehouses trade has been rather dull this week, there
having been fewer buyers than usual at this season in the
market. The large amount dr finished goods which is adver-
tised for sale by auction next week, is expected to induce
many drapers and
_other buyers to come to market, and the
general expectation is, that there will be an improvement in
business.—Leeds Mercury.

AN ASSAULTING BUTCHER.—CharIes Stratford, a journey-
man butcher, applied upon his petition to be discharged, and
was unopposed.

The insolvent, a beef-eating looking personage, had mixed
among the gay company at last Bartholomew' Fair, and got
into an affray. He gave a friend a slight tap, but made it
up afterwards over some half-and-half. The party, how-
ever, brought an action against him for the assault, and as he
had no money he had suffered judgment to go by default.
The cause was tried before a Sheriff's Jury, where he pleaded
his own case, and in this instance proved he had not a " fool
for his client," as he succeeded by his eloquence in reducing
the damages to " one farthing." The Jury gave a verdict to
that amount, and the costs had been taxed at 91. 103., on
which he had been taken in execution.
Mr. Commissioner Haitats—Well, how long have you been
in prison for the one farthing damages ? The Insolvent—
" Seven weeks to-day, Sir."
Mr. Commissioner HAnnts—l think if you had been in-
dicted you would rot have been in prison so long, perhar:s
not at all.
The insolvent was discharged.
