EFFECT OF OXYGEN ON GLOW-WORMS.

It i 3 an interesting experiment (says Mr. Parkes) to
place a glow-worm within a jar of oxygen gas in a dark
room. The insect vtill shine with much greater bril-
liancy than it does in atmospheric air. As the luminous
appearance depends on the will of the animal, this ex-
prriment probably affords an instance of the stimulus
which this gas gives to the animal system.

APPLE-BREAD.

A very light, pleasant bread is made in France by a
mixture of apples and flour, in the proportion of one
of the former to two of the latter. The usual quantity
Of yeast is employed as in making common bread, ;and
is beat with flour and warm pulp of the apples after
they have boiled, and the dough is then considered as
set: it ib then put in a proper vessel, and allowed to
rise for eight or twelve hours, and then baked in long
loaves. Very little water is requisite ; none, generally,
if the apj.les are very fresh.—lbid.

AfEXICO.

By way of New York we have received the Mexican
paper called El Sol, containing accounts to the 11th of
July, three days later in date than the last series of
Journals, which extended only down to , the B,h. It is
well known to those acquainted with the position and
resources of the immense territory subject to the' Mexican
Government, that though its Eastern and We,tern fron-
tier stretches along the two great Oceans to a great ex-
tent, it has on either side few good parts. Vera Cruz,
Tampico, Alvarado, and Sota la Marina, are the only
places on its Atlantic coast into which a vessel of any
size could enter. On the side of the Pacific, it is sup-
plied chiefly with the better ports of Acapulco and San
Blas. The Government of Mexico, therefore, being
apprehensive of the arrival of the ex-Emperor as an
usurper, had oNly to place a force nn which they could
rely, on a few points of its maritime frontier. That
the friends of Iturbide in Guadalaxara intended to re-
serve for him a place of landing on the West is evident,
from the fact, that in opposition to the remonstrance of
the General Executive, the Governor of that State ap-
pointe.l Garcia Commander of the port of San Bias. It
was the advancement of so suspicious an individual—a
relative of the ex-Emperor—to a place of such trust,
that first excited the jealousy of the Mexican Executive,
and led to the expedition of General Bravo against the
factious authorities of Guadalaxara. That expedition
ended in the deposition of the Governor and military
Commander of that State, and in the overthrow of the
small rebel force headed by Garcia and Baron Rosen).

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS-THIS DAY.

These Sessions commenced this morning at the Justice Hall, in
the Old Bailey, before Mr. Justice Lirrtroatx, Mr. Justice Out-
ten, the Loan Marisa RECoanza, Aldermen, &c.—There are in
all 350 prisoners for trial.
Datil Morgan, alias lifasut, and James Seniors:, alias Sisson, were
put to the bar on an Indictment, charging them with stealing in the
dwelling-house of Edward Vizier, of Bond-street a valuable watch,
his property. There were two other distinct Charges against the
prisoners, preferred by Charles M'Phail, and Isaac Leplastrier.
The circumstances of this case were as follow: On the 7th of
June, the prisoners, as alleged, went into the shop of the prose-
cutor, and pretended to want a wrch. They were accordingly
*hewn one, and after some conversation as to the price, they left
the shop, and the watch in question was missed. The prisoners of
course did not return, but were subsequently recognised at Lam-
beth-street Polieti-ollice, where they were in custody on one of the
other charges.
In the course of the examination of the witnesses for the pro-
secution, it turned out that the watch was not complete, as it
wanted the dial plate, hands, and part of the interior of the works.
Mr. Law, who defended the prisoners' accordingly objected to
the case proceeding, as the indictment charged them with stealing
a watch, while this was merely, an incomplete article.
The Juoces allowed the objection—the prisoners were acquitted.

111.11tY-1..-1-BONNE.

A Roman Catholic Priest, who stated himself to be the Rev.
Michael Goegliagen, was charged with a robbery of a very trilling
nature, which he admitted. On searching his pockets, the con-
etable found a printed paper, and several letters couched and written
in an elegant style, front the prisoner to the Nobility, soliciting
their aid for the purpose of finishing a chapel and school-house, in
the parish of lldlyslarens, Ireland. lie had testimonials from the
Rev. I'. Walder, Bishop of Killala, Ballina, &c. and the Rev. Pa•
trick Reilley, the Rector-General, which certified that he was a
Clergyman, of " tried prudence and integrity," and declaring that
the chapel, &c. was partly commenced, but from the want of
means, could not be finished, therefore an appeal was made to the
known liberality of the British nation. Added to these, was the'
following :
" We have received a letter from a highly respectable friend of
ours in Dublin, with a copy of the annexed printed document, re-
commending the Rev. Mr. Goughagan, the bearer, and requesting
us to forward the object of his journey here, which, we believe, to
be most deserving of encouragement.
(Signed) " Viscount DILLON; Nerot's
" Dowager Viscousness DILLON, Fitzroy-square.
" Dated July 24, 1824."
In addition to this, was a similar certificate, strongly recom-
mending such a subscription, from Owen Galaher, Esq. of Red
Lion-square, and 3lartin Flowers, Esq. of Eagle-street.
The defendant stood leaning on his arm in the bar, evidently la-
bouring under great agitation. On being required by Mr. Gate-
Pints to account for his conduct, he, with a sigh, exclaimed, in
Latin," Oh, LORD ! make haste to help me !" and continuing, said,
he had an illness in his head, and when he committed the crime, he
was reduced to the extreme of poverty; but he was sorry for
what he had done, 4nd if his repentant prayers were refused, he
was shut out from society.
He was also charged with stealing anothsr man's hat, but he
said he intended making a reparation, when he had pawned the
goods.—Mr. Garrerrus said, that he mast act upon the facts before
him, and commit him for trial _ _

The p►isoner said be was sorry for ft, but as little mercy was
shewn to the unfortunate on this earth, he hoped to receive it here-
after from the most Moo Jumr, before whom all will stand.
Hurley and Lowry, the constables, said he was prevented from
officiating as a Clergyman, being excommunicated for drunkenness.
On the clerk calling on some of the witnesses to enter into the
recognizance, to prosecute, the Irish character forcibly presented
i:self, as Lowry exclaimed, " Me prosecute ! by the HoLv FAMES
I will not prosecute a Priest," and ran out of the office. However,
the othtrs were bound over.

SINGULAR 2FFAIR.

• .
The ehrilersation of the fashionable coteries at Brighton for the
ls,t few days has been entirely engrossed by the affair between the
Earl of and, a Mr. 'lsw—sn—N, the latter Gentleman
having unceremoniously 'posted his Lordship, at Lucombe's Li-
brary, and other public places. The following particulars we have
gathered from report: The Gentlemen abovementioned agreed (as
it is asserted by Mr. T.) some years back, that .€2oco should he
paid to the other by the individual who should first succeed to his
expected estates.
His Lordship having obtained possession of great property by a
recent death, the sum as stated was demanded by Mr. T. His Lord-
ship. however, denied ever having entered into the contract alleged,
:aid consequently refused paying the money ; on which Mr. T. is
said to have offered to produce a third gentleman, who was present
'at the time of the agreement being made, and who doubtless could
:speak to the fact. It is stated by the friends of his Lordship, and
we have nut beard it contradicted, that this Gentleman on
'being called on, had no remembrance of the alleged contract.—
Mr. T. however insisted, and again reiterated his demand ; and on
his Lordship again refusing payment, sent a challenge by a friend,
a Mr. li—sts—a, which his Lordship refused to accept. The con-
sequence of which was, the determination of Mr. T. to post his
lAtsiship, wh!ch he immediately did.. Deposition on oath having
'been made by Mr. A—a, before Sir IS Sears, that a challenge had
been sent, and that certain valuable lives were thereby endange red,
'warrants were instantly issued for the apprehension of all the parties.
—His Lordship was taken at the York lintel, late on Friday even-
ing, and entered into heavy recognisances to preserve the peace.
Every effort to discover the opposite parties has hitherto proved in-
effectual; it is reported they have left Brighton. We further learn
that his Lordship has submitted the case to Counsel, who have ad-
vised ulterior proceedings, which, we are further informed, are in
active progress.—We st Susses Advertiser.

EDECTRICITY BY WATER FREEZING.

When water is frozen rapidly in a Leyden jar, the
outside coating not being insulated, the jar receives a
feeble charge, the inside being positive and
the outside ilega:ive. If this ice be rapidly thawed, an
inverse result is obtained; the inside bec.nses negative
and the outside positive.

ASTRONOMY.
M.L. Huzarche has lately invented an equinoctial.
astronomical dial, which tells the hour in all parts of
the world. By the mobility of its gnomon, and its cir-
cular construction, every observation can be made with
it, connected with solar and lunar astronomy.-7-News of
Literature, 4c.
TO BREATHE FIRE.
Isolate electrically a large shallow dish, and then
electriry the water strongly. If while this is going on,
a person, having wetted his month, breathes towards
the water, standing about a foot from it, he will, to the
spectators, have the appearance of breathing fire, and
may, if he be so disposed, play the devil Zarnicl, in the
Freysehutz, or persuade the credulous that he is a ma-
gician —Vie Ckentist.

NEW YELLOW DYE.
A chemist of Copenhagen has discovered a brilliant
yellow matter for dying in potatoe•tops. The mode of
obtaining it is by cutting the top when ►t ►s in flower,
and braising and pressing ►t, to extract the juice. Linen
or woollen imbibed imthis liquor 48 hours take a fine,
solid, and permanent yellow colour. If the cloth be
nfierwards plunged in a blue dye, it then acquires a
beautiful permanent green colour.—The Mirror.

The following accounts have reached us to-day from
Bayonne:

BAYONNE, MARCH 9.

The Papers from Madrid of the lth, bring us the
King's decree authorising Navarre to convoke its
Cones annually, for the purpose of repahing the injury
done by the war and the revolution, and of offering a
voluntary gift to the crown, which is indispensably ne-
cessary in the present state of its finances. This gift
is fixed at 12,000,000 of reals. The articles of this de•
cree which will restore to Biscay and Navarre their
ancient immunities, will be advantageous to the trade
of Bayonne, and of all the province of Hearn.
The Vielich column, which had been sent to Segovia,
has returned to Madrid, which it immediately left again
io return to its santonments, It is now known that the
disbanding of the corps of Merinb bas ken effected
pretty quietly, the Government not having beer. able
to refuse the just demand which he made, that it should
3ecure a provision for men to whom the success of the
Royal cause was partly owing. Merino himself has ar-
ived at Madrid with a battalion of the `22d. It is said that
Fiench AmbaSsador is on the eve of his departure•
Others say, that his Excellency finds himself continually
counteracted by the measures of the King's Govern-
ment; that his philanthropic views are not approved,
and, in short, that all his efforts to make affairs take a
less tortuous course are in vain. It seems that he will
not make a long stay at Madrid, but will go to London
cr to St. Petersburgh. The Provinces art:: pretty tran-
quil, but wade is entirely at a stand, aad the greatest

ALLIANCE ASSURANCF COMPANY.

The shares in this new Institution, to which we have before al-
luded, are now distributed ;monk the different persons who had
made application to beCome Shareholders, and bear a regular price
in the market among the different securities, for the investment of
capital. As the magnitude of the undertaking, and the extensive
chanziels through which its objects are proposed to he attained, se-
parate it widely from any similar ore which before existed, and give
to the project a certain degree of public importance, a sketch of
the plan, as far as it has hitherto transpired, may not prove gene-
rally uninteresting. The capital of the Comp:lny is .4'5,000,000
sterling, to be divided into 50,000 shares of .ClOO each ; and tts con-
cerns are to be conducted by five Presidents and sixteen Directors,
who will unitedly form the Board of Direction. These persons are
selected front the principal mercantile and bunking firms of the City.
—ln addition to the usual objects of such Institutions, namely,
Fire and Life Assurances, it is intended that tins Company shall
also grant life annuities, endowments for infants, and b:nefit poli-
cies, in all cases connected with life contingencies; T.ciilier will
these trans-actions be confined to Great Britain alone, but through
the connectibns with the Continent of those merchants with whom
the plan has originated, will' be gradually extended over the whole
of Europe, in the greater part of which the advantages arising from
Societies of this nature are entirely unknown. The :shareholders
have been called upon for a deposit of 101. on each share, and it is
further intimated, that in all probability no other demand will be
made ;slot in order to excite the proper exertion on the part of the
shareholders in promoting the g..neral prosperitrof the concern, it
is stipulated that each of them'sball effect an insurance equal to the
amount of his subscription. No individual, with the exception of
the Presidents, Directors, and Auditors, is permitted to hold more
than fifty shares, until after the 25th of March, 1825.
The annual profits, it is proposed, after payment to the Proprie-
tors of not less than three or more than five per cent. per annum,
by way of Interest on their deposits, shall be applied in the following
manner, viz.—a sum equal to five per cent. thereon shall be laid
out in the purchase or redemption of shares, provided they can be
purchased or redeemed at or below a premium of 901. a share ; and
a further suns equal to fifteen per cent. thereon, in paying up the
remaining 90 per cent. on the shares, until the whole capital shall be
realized: the remaining 80 per cent. to be invested in public secu-
rities in the names of trustees, and divided every five years between
the proprietors and the holders of policies. •
The Gentlemen with whom this plan originated are, we understand,
Mr. N. M. Rothschild, and his brother-in-law, Mr. M. Niontefiore.

period, rather Matt of the genius of the author, arid;
belongs more to his view of the subject than to the
powers which governed his pencil. •
" It would afford a curious topic to the historian of
manners, to investigate the sources of that remarkable
suavity which, pervading the opinions and feelings and
manners of the gentry of this country, during the first
thirty years of the late reign, superseded the more spi-
rited gallantry and gayer humour of a long preceding,
period, and ultimately disappeared in the eager con-
, troversies to which subsequent political events gave rise.
But, from whatever causes it may have sprung, there'
can be no doubt that it influenced and modified the li-
terature of that period, as much as it affected the reci-
procities of social life; and we may trace it in the clas-
sical dignity of the Johnsonian school, as well as in the
guarded simplicity of Mr. Mackenzie. Nothing was
then hazarded ; authorities were consulted, not only for
examples to ascertain how men felt and acted, but it
was almost assumed as a maxim, that books alone con-
tained the true principles by which men ought to bare-
presented in writing, as acting and feding. The thorn.
less criticism of Blair. affords an elegant specimen of
the well-bred temper of the literary spirit of that pe-
riod, and no small degree of lustre is reflected on his
contemporary, the author of The Man of Feeling, by
the consideration, that, although educated to revere
propriety of taste almost as highly as original talent, he
should yet have had the boldness to select for his ex-
periment the desct iption and developement of sentiments
.so nearly allied to natural passion, as to he deemed
either the effects of its morbid excess or tveafiness—
topics which, from the days of Pope and Chester field,
were equally banished from literature And inner-.
Before hisptimi the French had undoubtedlysi veil splendid
specimens of the sentimental-tale, but the purity 01 Aft.
Mackenzie's conceptions place his works in a different
class from theirs, and we think in one so much- higher
as al-most to rank with that of ethic."

A Meeting of the Proprietors of this Stock was this morning con-

The CHAISMAN, after adverting to the state of the Company's
Funds, proposed a dividend for the half-year now ending, of four
per cent.
Mr. HARRIS proposed, as an amendment, a dividend of 5 per cent.
A long debate then ensued about the withholding of papers by
the Directors, in which Mr. GUMMY, Mr. YocNo, 31r. Pwrxe,

The amendment, on being put to the vote, was negatived by a

rest on their oars for 4:tinse.- .As friends of humanity,
they cannot wish to increase the miseries of the objects of
their sympathy. There ate great difficulties to be got
over, of which not they, but the colonists themselves,
must bear the mfrs. These difficulties the Government
alone can grapple, With any chance of success. But the
friends of the abolition, powerful as they are in this
country, ma) exert themselves in distinguishing those
colonies a hich have come into their humane views. Men
401 sordid ideas must be ruled by the influence of gain.
Could a preference be given in the home market, for
example, to the productions of those colonies that had
adopted the measures recommended, it would do more
in the way of enforcing them than all the humane 19-
tcrs and recommendations of the abolitionists could ef-
fect for a century. Slave-holders cannot be acted upon
like the members of more civilized communities. The
air of slavery is fatal to the milder sympathies of our
nature. As the abolitionists. then, cannot wish to see
the removal of one evil effected by the operation of ano-
ther, they must, we repeat it, do nothing more just at
present in the shape of active proceeding—they must
wait until peace among the negroes be completely re-
stored. But let them never lose sight of their objects,
the moral instruction of the negro, and his preparation
for a better social state, if it be only in those islands
where the colonists will tolerate it. Tken if negro
freedom should never be achieved by the efforts of the
British nation, and continue to be-thwarted by the co-
lonists, hut should ultiniately be effected by those na.
tto al but terrible causes which in process of time will
inevitably operve to bring it about, they will have
done infinite good, by lessening the intensity of the re-
action and the force of the convulsion. The crown of
ptaisewol thy exertion always comes at last, and is not less
brilliant and glorious for'being procrastinated.
