S T A GE-COACH DUTY-

the fact is, that coaches not licenS'4l:, ifcit more than
ten passengers could before the Act came into ppera-
tion carry the same quantity of passengers for the same
amount of duty as they will be able to do when the
new Act comes into force. A four-inside coach can,
under the present Act, carry sixteen passengers, which
is the most you are allowed to license it for, at the rate
of nd. per mile ; therefore it is not, as stated in The
Sun, a reduction of one-half of the present duty, but
an uniform duty of lid. per mile' instead of the old
sliding scale. By stating the above, which you will
find to be true, as per Act, you will oblige,

EXPERIMENTS AT WOOLWICH.

SEPT. 28.—At half-past one o'clock, P.M., to-day,
Colonel Turner, C. 8., Colonel R. Jones, Colonel J.
E. Jones, Major Wood, Major Sandilands, Major
Hope, Captain Grant, and a number of officers of the
Royal Artillery, and Major Aldrich, of the Royal
Engineers, assembled at the mortar and howitzer bat-
tery, at the south-west end of the RoyalArtiller)
Barracks, to witness experiments of equally* singular
description as they were important in their results.
On several former occasions details have been given
of the result of experiments made by order of the
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, with a com-
position invented by Mr. Jeffrey, and now named
" marine glue," the object being to test its adhesive
qualities and strength, as it was shown to be insoluble
in water, and consequently invaluable if proved of a
strong binding nature when used for marine purposes,
or in any of the naval departments.
The experiments to-day were conducted under the
immediate superintendence of Major Sandilands, in
the presence of several scientific men, amongst whom
were Sir Isambert Brunel, the projector of the Thames
Tunnel, who appeared deeply interested, and after
witnessing the first four shots remarked, " It was for•
tunate for him that he had finished the tunnel before
Mr. Jeffrey's invention was made public as he should
have been obliged to use it, and the credit would then
have been awirded to Mr. Jeffrey."
Severe tests had been formerly applied to the in-
vention, but those made to-day were of such a de-
scription as to place its value beyond a doubt, and as
they were made openly, without the slightest reser-
vation or concealment, every person present appeared
fully satisfied.
The first experiment consisted in charging an eight-
inch mortar with four ounces of powder, and after-
wards adding a ball of hard wood weighing about
811bs., formed of two solid pieces, having the appear-
ance of half-moons before they were joined together
in the form of a globe by means of the marine glue.
On the mortar being fired at an angle of 45 degrees
of elevation, the wooden ball was projected into the
air, and fell to the ground with great force at a dis-
tance of 260 yards, rebounding to a considerable
height, without the least symptom, on its being closely
examined, of having yielded or showed a tendency to
separate by the violence of the concussion.
The second shot was fired with a charge of eight
ounces of powder, and reached a much higher alti-
tude than the first, and fell to the ground at a dis-
tance of 518 yards, rebounding several times, and on
being examined did not appear to have yielded in the
slightest degree.
The third shot was fired with a charge of 15 ounces
of powder, and attained a still higher altitude than
the former falling to the ground with tremendous
force at a distance of '760 yards, but it did not re-
bound so much as the two first, owing to the depth it
entered the ground when it fell. On examining the
wooden ball it appeared quite sound, and had not
yielded in the least in the joining, although the wood
appeared shaken in one or two places.
The fourth shot was fired with 15 ounces of powder,
the same as the third, but the wooden ball in this in-
stance presented the peculiarity of the two halves be-
ing joined together with the composition on the spot
before all the parties. The operation was quite
simile, merely bringing the marine glue, used the same
as common glue through the medium of boiling
water, or, as in this instance, by direct application to
a fire lighted in the mortar battery for the purpose.
The wooden ball was immediately afterwards im-
mersed in a bucket of water, where it remained about
15 minutes, and, in exactly 16 minutes from the time
of its being joined, was fired from the mortar, and fell
to the ground at a distance of 750 yards without the
slightest appearance of the joining having given way,
although so recently formed. It was after the result
of this shot Sir I. Brunel expressed his astonishment
to witness the immense adhesive power of the marine
glue used openly in his presence. . .

PRACTICAL OBSERVATIONS on NER-
VOUS DISEASES, and Disorders produced by Tro-

" This is a clever as well as useful work. It contains much

all martyrs to indigestion and other bodily ills, as they may
derive many useful, not to say invaluable hints."—The Times,
14th of May.
London : John Churchill, Princes-street, Soho.

- The first four shots were fired with the solid end of
the wooden balls next the powder, but, in order still
further to test the powers of the marine glue, the
mortar was again charged with 201bs. weight of pow-
der, and the first fired wooden ball placed with the
joined part next the powder, and the mortar elevated
from 45 to 75 degrees, as in the event of the parts of
the wooden ball not being separated by that severe test
it would prove invaluable. On being fired the wooden
ball went such a height as to be invisible, although
its course could be traced until it appeared not larger
than a marble, and it fell at a considerable distance on
the common, about 900 yards from the spot from
whence it was projected.
At the conclusion of these experiments Major San-
dilands asked Mr. Jeffrey if be had any objections to
fire one of the wooden balls from an eight-inch
howitzer against the ground at a short distance, and,
on being answered that he had not the slightest ob-
jection, a charge of two ounces and a half of powder
was used, and the wooden ball fired in the usual
manner, when it struck the ground at about 200 yards
distance, and rebounded numerous times over a further
distance of nearly 500 yards, without having any
effect whatever upon it. The same wooden ball was
fired a second time from the howitzer with a similar
result.

A powerful sledge-hammer was afterwards, applied
to one of the wooden balls for some time to endeavoui
to separate the parts, but without any visible effect,
only shattering the solid wood. The result of these
experiments made to-day appear to have been alto-
gether so satifactory as to render it probable that no
others will be made unless the marine glue is found
useful for other purposes not yet contemplated.

SEVERE THUNDER STORM.—On Wednesday, the
21st inst., a severe thunder storm visited various di-
visions of Galloway and Annandale, from Moffat
water to Lochryan Bay, a line of country embracing
in distance considerably more than a hundred miles.
Around Kirkcudbright, in Borgue and Twynholm,
the storm raged with appalling violence, as we learn
from the following particulars kindly transmitted by
an eye-witness :—" Many of the sheep and cattle were
congregated in groups, or moved about irregularly,
quaking with fear. About a mile to the west of
Kirkcudbright, on the farm of Bishopton, a draught
mare was struck dead in the stable. Two young
men, one within and the other without the building,
were slightly injured—one on the head, the other
on the arm ; but they are both recovering. Three
water-spouts were seen in the vicinity of Kirkcud-
bright ; and their irregular twirling in the air attracted
a good deal of attention. Soon after one o'clock it be-
gan to rain; and there were also some heavy showers
of hail which continued nearly two hours. In part
of Twynholm, and also in Borgue, the hail was
large; and it fell in such quantities that bushels of ii
might have been gathered in a few minutes. The
horses which draw the two coaches that lily between
Dumfries and Kirkcudbright were so much hampered;
while approaching the latter town, that the drivers
were obliged to proceed very slowly and with great
caution. Anwoth and Kirkmabreck hills were griz-
zled as if it had been December ; and even next fore-
n there were, in some parts of Borgue, consider-
able quantities of half-melted hail. In many places
the turnip shaws are perforated as if they had been
shot at
e peas ; in others the potatoes are

TORNADO.—On Tuesday morning, betwixt four
and five o'clock, and after an uncommonly beautiful
moonlight evening, one of the heaviest showers of
rain ever remembered came over Dundee. Although
m; thunder rolled, it had every appearance of a thun-
der storm. In the western suburbs some houses were
flooded to so great an extent that the furniture
flonted about. In Reform-street, Mr. Graham An-
derson's tailor's shop was inundated, and several ar
ticks damaged. We are informed that the storm
ranged within a narrow compass, and that,
from town, the morning was fair and mild. It con-
tinued to rain partially till about ten o'clock, when it
turned out a fine sunny day, like those which have
six miles
been enjoyed during the whole of autumn.
