SUBMARINE RESEARCHES.
An experiMent will, on the .23d inst., be made on the
wreck of the Royal George, off Spithead, in the presence
of Admiral Sir Hyde Parker, and other distinguished
naval and scientific gentlemen. by Dr. Payerne, the in-
ventor of an important process of preserving life under
water for an indefinite period of time, without
having any cimmunication with the external air.
The prOceiS consists in supplying a submarine boat with
purified air, without the aid of tubes from the surface of
the Water: The apparatus for effecting this object is
small and simple, can be worked by one man, and supply
the purified air to a considerable number of divers. It
is all worked end contained in the body of a submarine
boat, from the interior of which pliable pipes are affixed,
leading to the head dress of the diver. By means of
the diving-bell only one hundred and twenty feet can
be descended, on account of the immense pres-
sure which the diver has to support ; but by this
submarine boat an unlimited depth can be accomplished.
Until, however this discovery of Dr. Payerne, for supply-
ing so ,great a quantity of pure air, the capabilities of the
boat were unavailable, while with the diving-bell and
diving dress in ordinary use, the workmen were unable
to leave the former, or go beyond the air pipe attached
to thrir habiliments. Now, however, they are enabled
to (Olt fee bolt, and perform their operations, with no
!nor:: cause Fer alarm at the tempest that may rage above
then (luring a calm. They will also be able, by the same
mews, to re-enter the vessel without being obliged to
ascen,.l to the surface.

A irri;on named Villedon, clerk of the police at

prosperous season,
