The Prussian Stale Gazelle mentions a highly im-
portant discovery, which Dr. Seebeck has communi-
cated to the Academy of Sciences in Berlin, in three
different sittings. It was on the magnetic propertieS
inherent in all metals and many earths (and not in
iron only as was supposed), according to the difference
of the degrees of heat. This discovery, it is added,
opens an entirely new field in this department of na-
tural philo,ophy, which may lead to interesting re-
sults with respect to hot springs, connected with the
observations made by the Inspector of Mines (M. Vim
Tiebra) and others, relative to the ptogiessive in-
crease of warmth in mines in proportion to their,
depths. According to M. Von Trebra's observations,•'
the heat at the depth of 150 feet below.the sin face of
the earth is one degree; at )(X) feet deep, two- de-
grees; at 600 feet tour degrees, &c.—Philosophical.

Old Scroggy tnok his Behr& at the Fives Nett yesterday, and
• as it proof tbat•br is vot yet out of date wlttrette Peary, it wags
a inimper. AU the " big ones" rallied roand this once great fa=
votirite of the licize-tiitg, and thesport, in consequence of the
rivalry exhibited, wks excellent.
The blood-like Dick 6tetis *tato with one of his old nppo.
items, the athletic little LensteDi it Was worth looking at, and;
tin:withstanding Curtis 'hewed his superior qualities as a boxer,
it was übserved by many " good judges," that Lenney is very
far from being done will yet.
This bout was suecerthil by Mate and Edes, *ho meuflted
the stage amidst loud applause; it was light, elegant. and in.,
terestitig ; and although there PAS no stuck/Attached to it, yet
It was a line specimen of the art of self-detence ; the parrying;
quick hitting and return, of these accomplished sparrers, were
the admiration of all the amateurs present. Belcher still retains
all his fire, and teaks is not a jut behind him In activity.
The Gibfef Pp was served up as a task for Spencer (the
butcher), and it was adniitted there were lots of elating up b!•
twerp them ; there were fie oieetito required, it Was all t,iev and
take with a hearty Welcome.
The mall of colour, Sutton, ethibited ffor the first time these
two years) with Bitten ; It was a good bout, no gammon, arid
decorated with tine science. The man of colour is fast recover,
ing from his aeVere indisposition, and there is little doubt but he
will he ready to take the field In the sprint ; he Will eertlinly be
an *gist customer for anybody.
The mild champion, Cribb, and his boy, Taus Spring, were re+
ceived with great marks of approbation. Cribb, although bulky;
displayed more activity than might hare been expected, yet
" bellows to mend" could not he hid from the spectators ; and,
making some allowance for both of these " big ones" (poblieans)
being a little " nut of repair," it was a tidy combat. Alen who
are often tried at the Bur, may boatt more of being in spirits than
condition, when put on their defence, as to Wanting wind.
Sheliwt and the Gas-light Mutt made their appearance on the
stage, and every meatus's Was paid to their effor►s. Hickman is
still as terrific in his action and hitting as ever; he does not ap.
pear to have lust a single grain of his confidence. It was a manly
set-to--bang-up on both sides—excellent skill, and hard bitting.
The sports of the day were closed by hat and &rvgirte. They
did their best to amuse the audienee, and their efforts were well
received. Scroggins returned thanks in a short speech.
Young lielasco uoer.tl to fight Lenney for £so.—.3uch a fine
day% spurt has not been witnessed for a long time ; all the " big
ones" feeling anxious not only to support Netreggins, but to give
satisfaction to their patrons; who appeared to leave the Court
unusually well pleased. -
