THE ADMIRALTY LORDS.—It is pretty certain, ways
correspondent, that Sir Richard Saunders Dundas will
become first sea lord, and for the first time one of the
new school will occupy that important post. He is ex•
tremely popular with the service, as can be ascertained
from any officer who served under him in the Baltic in
1855, more particularly from those who were not inspired
with quite the same respect for another well-known admi•
ral whose flag floated in those latitudes in the preceding
year. Sir Richard is an excellent officer, and a thorough
gentleman, quiet, good-tempered, and tolerant, without
being weak. The office of junior sea lord will very pro-
bably be filled by Lord C. Paget, who combines the ad-
vantages of being a popular officer who has fairly won his
way, and is popular member of Parliament. 'With S,r C.
Wood, Mr. Osborne, and Mr. Baring in the house, there
is no necessity for a further representation of the Admi-
ratty board in the House of Commons : but a professional
man like Lord Clarence Paget will be found useful in
readily auswaring questions relating to matters less im-
mediately within the province of a lay lord. Withsuch
an accession, the new board will be admirably couoti-
tuted, every member of it being well acquainted with his
department and his duties.
THE SILICWOR.M OF THE CASTOR-PLANT.-111. Isidore
Geoffrey St. Affairs has communicated a report to the
French Aoadenciy of 60101306 e oa the Bombay Cystl2.
or silkworm which feels on the leaves of the Ricinis
Communis, the seeds of which yield castor-nit. This
insect has long been reared in India, where its silk La
in general use ; and it was introduced into Europe
veral years ago through theexertions of Mr. Piddington,
of Calcutta, Sir W. Reid, governor-general of Malta, and
MM. Baruffi add Bergonzi. Mr. Milne Edwards, Mar-
shal Vaillant, MM. Guerine Meneville and Hardy,
communicated several results obtained on a small scale
to the Academy, in 1854, and expressed their opinion
that this insect might be advantageously introduced, not
only in Algeria, but even in the central and northern
departments,of France. M. I. G. St. Hiliare, in the
present instance, accompanied his report, in the name
of the Societ4 d'Acclimation, which specimens of co-
coons, and of the silk obtained from them, through the
exertions of several members of the above society, viz.,
M. Kaufmann of Berlin, M. Sacc, late professor of tho
Faculty ofSciences at Neufchatel, Switzerland, M. Henri
Schlumberger, a manufacturer in Alsatia, and M. John
Lelong, late consul-general of the Oriental republic of
Uruguay. From these specimens it appeared that th
reeling and carding of this kind of silk offer no diffi-
culty whatever. The thread is smooth, of a grayish
white, glossy,strong and supple, and tee results obtained
are satisfactory enough to induce the silk-growers of
Alsatia to rear this insect on k large scale. It is easily
propagated, very hardy, and will accommodate itself to
various kinds of food and climates ; its generations fol-
low each other so rapidly that it will yield six or seven
silk crops a-year. M. Valise, one of the official, of the
Garden of Plants, has found that the kind of thistle
calied teasel or bur is an excellent substitute for the
leaves of the Ricinus. In the course of last month the
same gentleman has been enabled to send upwards of
25,000 eggs of the insect to various parts of France ; he
has at present 2,000 cocoons in reserve, and about as
many worms, which will lay in a very few weeks, and
this large population has been obtained since January
last from only three couples 1 The accounts received
from Algeria by Marshal Vaillant are equally favourable,
and the insect has been introduced into Brazil through
the instrumentality of the Soci6t6 d'Acclimatation.
Among the specimens produced there were some re.
ceived from Pernambuco, and obtained from the eggs
sent from Paris. In conclusion, M. G. St. Hilaire is of
opinion that this new silkworm is likely to prove a meet
precious acquisition to European silk-growers.
