POLY TECHNIC INSTITUTION.
The lectures of this institution during the week have
been more than usually interesting, and we are happy to
say; the attendance of the company, has been propor-
tionately numerous. Dr. Ba,:hoffner s lectures on natural
philosophy e.re most interesting, and are admirably
given. The lectures of that very eminent man, Dr. John
Ryan, have disclosed a variefy of important facts in con-
nexion with steam-boilers, and the cause, in most cases,
of explosions. There is, however, a model of a locomo-
tive which deserves particular mention, for the purpose
of propelling up inclines. This apparatus is the inven-
tion of a gentleman named Coleman, who has just
brought it from America. It appears perfectly compe-
tent (as far as we could jndge by so small a model) to
do all chat is required to prevent the 'necessity for
cuttiii;-,, tunnelling, &c., on railways, so irksome
and dangerous on the present system. The gradient
up which this little angioe draws very considerable
weight, is on the scale of 800 feet in the mile, or nearly
one foot in seven, rise. It is provided with an Archi-
midean screw, between the axles of the carriage, which
screws on coming in contact with a series of friction
rollers, placed exactly in the centre of the line, between
the rails, and is made to pull the carriage and train up
the inelirie without stoppage of any kind to attach ap-
paratus, &c. ; a desideratum of the utmost importance
when the country to be traversed is undulating. The
inventor believes that it is perfectly applicable to the
atmospheric railway as an adjunct of very great utility.

SWIMMING MATCH.—On Wednesday, a swimming
match, also a fine display of floating, diving, &c., took place at
the Natio 41 Swimming Baths, High Holborn, for- the benefit
of Messrs Kenworthy, the teachers of swim...slug at these
baths. 'The place was crammed with spec'ators, who evidently
expected to see some extraordinary feats, in which they were not
disappointed. The entertainment was commenced with a Juve-
nile performance, being a match between a number of boys,
which was very well contested. by all parties, arid won amidst
vouch applause by Williams, °Deaf Mr. Kenvrorthy's pupils. This
was followed by a scientific display of swimming, diving,
floating, &c.. by Messrs. Kenworthy and Poulton, who went
through a number of various and difficult evolutions in the
water, which called forth repeated and unanimous bursts
of applause from all sides of the bath. Mr. Kenworthy, in
particular, as might be expected from his elites ience, showed
a great de,.l of skill and sci, nce in his movements. putting
himself in all manner of positions and attitudes with
much apparent ease. Amongst other feats, he chewed
and swallowed a Bath bun and drank off a bottle of
lemonade whilst every portion of his body was comple'ely
immersed in the water. He also smoked a pipe of tobacco
in the same position, nothing appearing above the surface of
the wa!er except the bowl of tne pipe, which contained the
lighted tobacco. This performance caused much amusement,
and elicited several hearty cheers from tne Icor:era on. A race
of speed for sweep• takes then tom( place between a number of
competitors, but there was not much good swimming displayed,
except by Pewter" and Robinson, who easily distanced the rest,
arid came in at the starting-plaice together. This, with several
minor perfornaances. concluded the special entertainment of
the evening, though 'he company were for a long time after
amused by the eccentric movements of the numbers who
aspired to perfect themselves in the mysteries of the art of
swimming, &c.
Baron de Hugel, the Wurttinaberg Minister, has left
town for Dover.
