Little Dorrit. No. XIV. By Charles Dickens.
Throughout the whole of the three chapters con-
stituting this fourteenth number of " Little Dor-
rit," there winds and twists with sinuous sluggish-
ness the turbid but auriferous streain of what may
be called the Merdle Interest Floating upon ita
surface—Now the whole wonderful race of the Bar-
nacles and Stiltstalkings, including both Mr. Tiie
and Lord Decirnus, attended on one hand by Bar,
with his double eyeglass and his jury droop, and on
the other by Bishop, with his seven league dress
shoes, and his crisp and refreshing innocence !
Floating—Now honest Pancks, stale from the
coals, and snorting, as only Tug can snort, sur-
rounded by the chief defaulting tenants of Bleed-
ing Heart-yard, led off by Mrs. Plornish, with
all her rare Italian accomplishments, and by Mr.
Plornish, her spouse, clad in his lime-splashed
flannel jacket, and by simple-hearted old Mr.
J. E. Nandy, chirruping his favourite ditties
about Chloe and Strephon—his grey nondescript
Union Coat, to the contrary, nevertheless,
notwithstanding ! Floating—Now dear little
Amy Dorrit herself, shyly wondering still in the
midst of her Venetian splendours, and illy her aids
Fanny the frivolous, with Mr. Sparkler (next door
to an Idiot) dangling at her heels, secretly des-
pised, and yet, as it proves, a great deal more
than openly tolerated ! Floating slowly past us
on the muddy golden current of the Merdle
Interest—all these miscellanebus characters (and
with them a good many others incidentally intro-
duced) attract our attention either one by one, or
in picturesque clusters, in the new number of

" Little Do;rit" for the present month of January.
Chapter xii., "In which a great Patriotic Confer-
ence is Holden," recounts a dinner of more than
usual splendour, given at the Great House of
the Great Merdle to the Great Political
Swells of the Hour—the Barnacles. A Dinner
described with marvellous touches of Fun
Satire such as Mr. Dickens alone, with the mere
nib of a goosequiil, could bring out thus vividly to
view in spite of theirall but microscopic minuteness !
Notwithstanding Mr. Merdle's solitary position in
London during the absence of the Bosom. and of
Sparkler upon their continental wanderings—we
are told :

" The Chief Butler, the Avenging-Spirit of this great
man's life, relaxed nothing of his Severity. He luoked on
at these dinners when the bes9m was not there, as he
looked on at other dinners when the bosom was there ; and
his eye was a basilisk to Mr. Merdle. He was a hard man,
and would never bate an ounce of plate or a bottle of
wine. He would not allow a dinner to be given, unless it
was up to his mark. He set forth the table for his own
dignity. If the guests chose to partake of what was
served, he saw no objection ; but it was served for the
maintenance of his rank. As he stood by the sideboard he
seemed to announce, have accepted office to look at this
which is new before me, and to look at nothing less than
this.' If he missed the presiding bosom, it was as a part
of his own state of which he was, from unavoidable cir-
cumstances, temporarily deprived. Just as he might have
missed a centre-piece, or a choice wine-cooler, which had
been sent to the banker's."

An especial occasion for this wonderful creature
the Chief Butler (and, parenthetically b.) it said,
also for that dull and vulgar victim of dyspepsia,
his master, the millionnaire), is the Grand Dinner
of which this inimitable chapter is so very admi-
rably descriptive. It is as Bar calls it (with his
jury droop to the engaging young Barnacle, Fer-
dinand by name)—a sort of a sitting in Banco for
a special argument ! To wit the securing the whole
of the grand and covetted Merdle Interest to the
Barnacles—(in regard to whom, saith our historian
drily, " if the adherence of the immortal Enemy
of Mankind could but have been secured by a job,
the Barnacles would have jobbed him—for the good
of the country, for the good of the country")—
upon the one condition of Mr. Sparkler, eyeglass
and all, being taken up and provided for
.by Go-
vernment ! Ail which is, of course, most satisfactc-
rily accomplished in the end, only, however, after
the most preposterously elaborated negotiations.
The general toad-eating to Lord Decimus Tite
Barnacle, in the midst of these auspicious convivi-
alities will be found—here, there, and everywhere
throughout the chapter—deliciously delineated.
From the almost awful collapse in his presence of
the Bashful Young Member in the Lower House
(" the last fish but one caught by the Barnacles,
and invited on this occasion to commemorate his
capture")—to the more self-possessed wielder of the
double eyeglass and drooper of the jury droop
(" who has a bit of one eye and a bit of his double
eyeglass for every one who comes in at the door,
and who gets at them all by some skilful means
without being seen to get at them, and touches each
individual gentleman of the jury on his own indi-
vidual favourite spot') and of whom we read—
" Bar, who felt that he had got all the rest of the jury
and must now lay hold of the Foreman, soon came sliding
up, eye-glass in hand. Bar tendered the weather, as a
subject neatly aloof from official reserve, for the Foreman's
consideration. Bar said that he was told (al everybody
always is told, though who tells them, and why, will for
ever remain a mystery), that there was to be no wall-fruit
this year. Lord Decimus had not heard anything amiss of
his peaches, but rather believed, if his people were gor-
rect, he was to have no apples. No apples? Bar was lost
iu astonishment and concern. It would have been all one
to him, in reality, if there had not been a pippin on the
surface of the earth, but his show of interest in this apple
question was positively painful. Now, to what, Lord De-
cimus—for we troublesome lawyers loved to gather infor-
mation, and could never tell how useful it might prove to
us—to what, Lord Decimus, was this to be attributed ?
Lord Decimus could not undertake to propound any theory
about it. This might have stopped another man ; but
Bar, sticking to him fresh as ever, said, " As to pears,
now ?"

We don't wonder, when we find it added to this,
" Long after Bar got made Attorney-General, this
was told of him as a master-stroke"—particularly
when we have listened, in company with Bar, to
every tedious detail in the one inevitable, inexor-
able, unavoidable, everlasting "reminiscence about
a pear-tree," which is the single joke of Lord De-
chnus's life, and the single glory of Decimus's con-
versation. Chapter xiii. is principally remark-
able for revealing to us—at last !—Mr. Baptist,
otherwise Signor Cavaletto, affrighted by the pass-
ing apparition of the dreaded and abhor red Rigaud,
otherwise Monsieur Blandois, of the descending
noio and the ascending moustache ! Principally
remarkable for this, but remarkable also in another
way, for its revealing Pancks to us and to Arthur
Cleunam—as having embarked his "little in
the vast, infectious, absorbing, alluring, irresistible
maelstrom of the Merdle Speculations 1 Nothing,
by the way, call be more thoroughly delightful
than the preposterous manner in which Mrs. Plor-
nish, in the midst of Mr. Baptist's fright goes to
the rescue of him (in the explanations arising there-
from) with her famouslingual accomplishments. Mr.
Baptist by this time understanding English per-
fectly, and talking it almost as well as his gifted
interpreter ! Alluding to Mr. Pancks, who is
standing by at the time, "E ask know,' says rs.

The thing is altogether delicious—we can barely

RE-CONSTRUCTIVE oF THE GOVERN-

MENT'.

The hitch as to the re-construction of the Cabi-
net continues ; but the hinge to the hitch is, we
regret to say, still available.
The " Peelites" are, of course, available at any
time—as we have already mentioned—" Coalition"
being the meaning of the phrase "connection with
any Government."
The leader of the Peelite party, the late Premier,
Lord Aberdeen, will (D.V.) dine at the official
party of the President of the Council on the day
before the opening of Parliament, and will thus
accord with the doctrines to be propounded in the
ministerial Speech.
What matters in relation to this convivial ar-
rangement may occur to-day, or in the meantime,
we have already placed before our readers ; but
still there is the hitch !
A few hours may enable us to pronounce all the
facts connected. with the attempted or possibly-
cemented Coalition.—Morning Herald.

Monsieur Elie de Beaumont has received a letter from
Rome, dated Jan. 8, in which the writer, M. Seccbi,
gives a description of a new construction of barometer,
'ihich possesses the advantages of not being able to be
broken, of giving the readings exact, which Aneroids
and others do not, and of recording those readings by
self-acting mechanism. The writer says that all improve-
ments hitherto have been limited to the employment of
large tubes to avoid the evils of capillary attraction, and
to the obtaining of greater exactitude in the readings.
All attempts to make the instrument graphic—that is
to say, self-acting to record the different variations, and
to make the indications more minute—have not yet been
successful. The principle on which the new barometer
is constructed will be understood by the following
statement :—Suppose the cuvette of a barometer to be
placed on a table and the glass tube so arrange I as to
admit of its being lifted by hand. The force that will be
required to lift the tube will be equal to the weight
of mercury in the tube, or, in other words, to the
amount of atmospheric pressure exercised on the mercury
of the instrument. We shall therefore be able to really
weigh the pressury of the atmosphere by attaching the
barometer (the tube only) to one end of a balance, and
weights to the other ; for it is evident that at every
change in atmospheric pressure a corresponding increase
or decrease in weight will have to be made at the other
end of the balance to maintain equilibrium. To ascertain
the value of absolute pressure on a unity of surface, iterdl
be necessary to take into consideration the weight of the
tabe, and also of the weight of that portion thereof which
is immersed in the mercury contained in the corvette,
and especially the internal sectional area. The knowledge
of the latter, so far from being an obstacle, is a positive
advantage in construction; for, by increasing the sectional
area, the force that actuates the instrument will also be
increased, and will consequently permitof more exact and
more minute readings. If the sectional area be 10 square
centimetres, and the pressure varies by centimetres in
height, the weight to be plaoed at the other end of the balance will be that of 19 cubical centimetres of tier-
cury, or 135 grammes ; while, it the sectional area had
been equal to 1 square centimetre only, the weight would
have been but 13.5 grammes. Starting from these ob-
servations, M. Secchi adopted the following construe ion
for his barometer, which has been made and used in the
observatory at Rome. The barometrical tube is attached
to one end of a steelyard or balanced lever, which carries
at the other end a counterbalance weight and a pointer,
15 millimetres or i of an inch in diameter, which ie
relected in a mirror. The mirror alse reflects a graduated
scale, so that the variation of 1-10th of a line of the
pointer is indicated by a movement of six lines on the
reflected image. The writer enumerates the following
,advantages peculiar to his invention :-1. As the atmo
spheric pressure is weighed, and not indicated by the
height of the column of mercury, the tube may be
constructed of any non-fragile material, such as iron,
which does not amalgamate with the mercury, provided
the bore is of equal diameter throughout. 2. By
increasing the sectional area of the tube, the additional
weight will give sufficient motive power to a pencil at-
tached to the other end of the lever to mark the varia-
tions of atmospheric pressure (after the fashion I presume
of the indicator diagrams of steam-engines). 3. By
the interveutioas of suitable gearing, the scale of obser-
vations may be augmented without inconvenience or
danger of exactness of the instrument. 4. The new
construction is independent of the form of the ininiscus,
of the purity of the mercury, of its specific gravity, and
of the temperature and difference of gravity peculiar to
different latitudes, for all these qualities exercise influ-
ence upon the volume of mercury, and on the height of
the column of mercury in the tube, which has to be
measured to obtain the weight of atmospheric pressure,
whereas, with the new instrument the weight is given
at once. Another advantage of employing iron for
barometrical tubes is, that there is no danger to fear
from the adhesion of air or moisture, and that the mer.
cury may be boiled without fear of bursting. Iron baro-
metrical tubes will likewise permit of other fluids being
employed, and probably advantageously, instead of
mercury. The writer further states that he invariably
found his new barometer indicate variations of atmo
spheric pressure before ordinary barometers did so, and
that by avoiding loss from friction, most exact instru-
ments; may be produced. The perusal of the description
of this ingenious invention has suggested its application
to some practical purposes, which I beg to submit to 1
the attention of your engineering and scientific readers.
The suggestion has for its object to construct--
Audible or Danger-Signalising Barometers, which, if
placed on beard a ship, would tell the captain and whole
crew of the approach of storms ; or which, if placed in
mines, would warn tniners and inspectors of the presence
of fire-lamp,as well as indicate its precise locality. For
this purpose it would be only necessary to employ a
weighing barometer, the painter of which was com-
posed of sonic suitable cetiducting material, but insu•
lased from the rest of the instrument. The pointer
should be in communication with one of the poles of
an electro-magnetic battery. The vial, over the
face of which the pointer would have to travel, should he
composed of glass, or other suitable non-conducting ma-
terial, with the metallic points inverted at those grade-
thine which indicate dangerous variations of atmospheric
pressure. The; points would have to be placed in tom

The recent experiments at Woolwich for, the
purpose of testing the power of resistance of timber
lined with 4-inch iron plates, of the same thickness
and strength as the floating batteries, proved that
the ordinary service guns would be of but little
use against these batteries. Let us not, however,
forget the tremendous effects of the monster
wrought-iron gun when tried, under the superin-
tendence of a Government officer, against a similar
target at Liverpool. The difference in the results

It will be observed that the defendant did not apply
specifically for beer, biscuits, or flour, but only for a con-
tribution either in food or money towards the dinner.
It appears that, in consequence of those letters, certain
contributions, consisting of beer, biscuits, and flour,
were sent by several benevolent individuals to the insti•
tution, and it is clear upon the evidence, and from the
defendant's own letters, that such contributions were
received, as also that the donors intended those commo-
dities to be distributed to the poor people on Christmas-
day. It has been proved beyond doubt that a dinner
eras provided for the poer at the institution on Christ-
mas-day, 1855 ; but it was equally clear, from the
evidence of the witnesses for the prosecution, that no
beer or biscuits were distributed to the poor at that
place on Christmas-day. The flour, or the greater por-
tion of it, may or may not have been used by the defen-
dant for the purposes of this dinner. On the other
hand, the defendant has produced witnesses who have
s ,orn that they did receive beer on that occasion ; that
a mug was placed before every man, woman, and child
present at the dinner, and that some biscuits were
exhibited rather as ornaments than otherwise. There
is not a doubt that a class of witnesses have been
called for the prosecution, as well as on behalf of
the defendant, upon whose testimony little or no
reliance can be placed. I am, however, impressed with
the fact, that five police constal:res belonging to the
City and Metropolitan forces, who can have no interest
but to speak the truth, swear most distinctly that no
beer or biscuits wire given to the poor on that occasion,
and that they never saw a mug on the table during the
day. I cannot help observing that no official of the
institution, or any one of the committee, or any of the
visitors who are proved to have been present at this
dinner, except, indeed, Mr. Langridge, the [missionary,
whose evidence does not appear at ad satisfactory to me,
have been called for the defence. They must have seen
whether beer or biscuits were distributed or not. The
conclusion I have formed from the evidence on this part
of the case is, that no beer or biscuits were given to the
poor people at this institution on Christmas-day, 1855,
and to that extent the intentions of the donors have not
been carried out by the defendant. The finance com-
mittee of this institution consists of ten gentlemea, and
I cannot lose sight of the circumstance that until to-day
only one of them has taken any interest in the proceed.
ings ; Lut sufficient has probably transpired during this
investigation to warrant them furnishing a full financial
statement to the subscribers. Indeed, from what ap-
pears before me. Mr. Barber seems to be the only official
connected with the institution, excepting perhaps Mr.
Horsley, who appeared before me in the first instance as
representing the institution, and having performed Isis
duties in that respect, he next appears as advocate for
Mr. Barber, showing no ordinary seal for his client,
after which he was called as a witness by Mr. Barber's
counsel. Neither Mr. Horsley nor the other gentlemen
who had been called to-day could give any information
as to what took place at the institution ou Christmas-
day, 1855. In considerier; this case, I cannot fail to
observe that Mr. Potter, the gentleman who instituted
these proceedings, has taken no personal interest in the
matter. The course he has taken, no doubt with the
best intentions, was with the view of directing public
attention to this institution ; and whatever may be the
result of this inquiry, the investigation will have this
beneficial effect that it will direct the attention of sub-
scribers to public charities in general, and to this insti-
tution in particular, to the mode in which their con
tributions are distributed. To that extent I consider
Mr. Potter is deserving of great praise, and he will,
no doubt, receive the thanks of the public. It appears
to me, also, somewhat important and fortunate for time
defendant that in the course of this case the parties from

BRUSSELS, JAN. 21.
On Monday, the 19th, a numerous deputation of the
English residents at Brussels, naval, military, and civi-
lian, waited upon the Prince de Ligne at his hotel in the
Rue Royale, to declare their reprobation of the personal
vulgarities uttered by Sir R. Peel against the Prince in
his disreputable speech at Birmingham. The deputation
expres,ed a hope that the offence would be judged by
him to be—as it was, in fact—an isolated ebullition of
low breeding, highly displeasing to the English of all
parties, and which the unanimous censure of the Angli-
can press had placed in its true light—as unbecoming a
gentleman. A deep regret was also signified that the
nobleman selected by the King of the Belgians to be his
special ambassador at the coronation of the Queen 0:
England in 1838, and lately deputed in the same capa
city to the Emperor of Russia, should have met with an
insult from an Englishman, utterly unprovoked, and
couched in terms unknown to the language and to the
sentiments of honourable.

The Prince de Ligne, in warm terms, acknowledged
the compliments paid him by the deputation, and ob-
served--

"Gentlemen, believe me that I am most grateful for
thisa my
euerpl
y spontaneous
sensible o actof
th eof
generous
kindnessa d
that ; and
I has
prompted you thus to repel the vulgar aggresion un-
warrantably made upon me by Sir Robert Peel. I con-
jure you to be persuaded that I do not suffer the dis.
pleasure I may experience at this low-bred indigiry to
affect for one instant the high respect and sincere regard
long and cordially entertained by me for England and
the English. The coarse verbiage adopted by Sir R.
Peel to revile me belongs only to a sot (ivrogne) and a
blackguard (gamin), and as such I regard it with proper
contempt ; but, without seeking that personage, should
chance ever place me in unpalatable contact with him, I
shall not hesitate to say that his conduct towards me
bas been that of an underbred good-for-nothing (mal
eleve et vaurien). And now, gentlemen, on my part, I
have to express my sorrow and extreme displeasure that
any countryinee of mine, and without toy authority,
should have used this untoward circumstance as a reaPon
to offer you the incivility of refusing your admission to the bal noble. Such conduct on their part appertains to
that category of social offences which a • have had occa
sion to deplore. I have been greatly pained at such
inbred and unworthy conduct. Allow me, gentlemen,
to say that out of this unpleasant, occurrence I have, at
any rate, derived the pleasure of your personal acgriair-
rning you my hearty
traasafnedr yoofurbecionngsidaebriae,teinattreentttlion, publicly to testify'
my constant and ardent
ions." for your country, its
inhabitants, and its institutions."

Great activity has been lately shown in exploring and
developing the mineral and metalliferous deposits of the
Island of Luzon, one of this group—Mr. W. Eathorne
Gill, who has acquired considerable experience in Cali-
fornia being the engineer-in-chief of an association
formed in Madrid, denominated La Exploradora Phil-
pina Compania. The auriferous veins are situated at
Monte Malagit, near Paracale, and have long been
worked by the native Indians. A shaft has been
sunk about 4tl varas, and the edit level has been
driven a considerable length. The lode is quartz, in-
tersected with ferruginous veins ; the oountry is gneiss,
with dykes of syenite, and beds of steatite. Eight
stamps are erected, and Mr. Gilt was daily in expecta-
tion of receiving the grates to affix to them. It is
not the intention to employ amalgamation, but merely
to crush the ore and wash it, and the estimates are
that $2 per ton will cover all expenses. In contradis•
tinction to this, in his report, Mr. Gill states that the
cost to the Noveau Monde Company at Mount Ophir,
furnished by Mr. Phillips, was $17.50 ; by the same
gentleman at the Pine Tree works, $23.50; while Mr.
Atwood's expenses at Gras Valley were $8.29. It is,
however, to be remembered that in California the aver-
age daily wages of a labourer were $4, while in Luzon
they are $4, and this is partly paid in rations. The
'Alan miners, though unskilled, are very tractable, and
have been accustomed to mining from their infancy.
The profits to be realised on a ton of quartz are calcu-
lated at $lO, and the limit to the revenue can cnly be
fixed according to the means adopted for raising the
quartz. Occasionally, mica is found in the veins for
several fathoms in length. In other localities, no great
distance from the works of the association, magnetic
iron ore has been found, and in the neighbouring moun-
tain large specimens of native copper have been disco
vered ; while there is a tradition among the Indians
that white gold has been extracted, this, from its de-
scription, being evidently plating. Mr. Gill
it is
opi-
nion that the district is highly mineralised ; l3 well
wooded, and merely requires good management and
economy to afford brilliant results. From that gentle-
man's acknowledged experience, there. is every. promise

In one of our Courts, lately, a man who was called on
to appear as a witness could not be found. On the judge
asking where be was, a grave elderly gentleman rose up,
and, with much emphasis, said, "Your lordship, he's
gone." " Gone ! gone !" said the judge,, " where is he
gone 1" " That I cannot inform you,' replied the com•
municative gentleman, "but be is dead. This is oon-
sidered tbe most guarded answer on record.
