NELSON'S COXSIVAIN.—On Saturday last this venerable
tar suddenly expired, at his little fishmonger's shop, in
Church-passage, Greenwich. He was upwards of 80 years
of age. Sykes was a most daring fellow, and was with Lord
Nelson during the whole of the time of his glorious deeds.
He most of all distinguished himself at the battle of Trafal-
gar. His bravery deserved greater reward than it received.
Peace to his manes !—Kentish Mercury.

END or A RICA POPE.—Clement V., during his feeble
and profligate reign, amassed enormous riches by the sale of
ecclesiastical benefices, and by other scandalous means. lie
had enriched his relations and his dependents, but he had
not secured their gratitude. The moment that his death was
announced in the papal palace, all its inmates rushed upon
his treasure as if they had been their lawful booty. Amongst

his numerous household, not a single servant remained-to
watch the dead body of their master. The wax candles that
lighted his bed of state fell upon the bed-clothes, and set
them on fire. The flames spread over the whole apartment,
hut the palace and wardrobe were so plundered, that only a
miserable cloth could be found to cover the half-burnt re-

mains of one of the richest popes who had ever governed the
church.—Campbell's Life of Petrarch.
PASSAGE TO BOMBAY.-It may interest some of our read-
ers to learn the actual and requisite expenses of an overland
journey from London to Bombay. _ The items are estimated

from the letter of at field-officer illiccluierracmy.ajepstays•
we can vouch majesty's
Passage mtoy, Alex-
andria,and per steamer, £45. Fee to steward and servants,
£1 los. Living on shore at Gibraltar, and boat-hire there,
£2 3s. Living at Malta, boats and porters there, £1 Os Gd.
Hotel at Alexandria, 10s. Passage up the Nile, including
living, &c.' :£4. At Cairo, £l. Crossing to Suez, £2. Cabin
passage to Bombay, £BO, (i. e. SOO rupees.) Sundries, £2.
Total expended between London and Bombay, £139 9s. Now
it is obvious that this expenditure is fully met by the passage
allowance, of £llO to captains, and £95 to subalterns, if they
are willing to expend their regimental pay during the trip.
The sole advantage to the poor officer in going round the
Cape of Good Hope is, that he obtains his passage and living
for the foregoing sums, but he has to carry against that ad-
vantage the large supply of sea outfit required for a voyage
of four or five months.—Naral and Military Gazette.
DEBCRIPTION OF A THIRTY-TON CRANE, ERUCTED ON
THE QUAY OF EARL GREY'S DOCK, DUNDEE HARBOUR.
By James Leslie, M. Inst. C. E.—The crane is placed on a
stone platform sixteen feet square, raised six feet above the
level of the quay, with its centre seven feet back from the
dock face ; and as the sweep or radius is thirty-five feet to
the perpendicular of the jib-sheave, the load is suspended
twenty-eight or twenty-nine feet over the dock (as the dou-
ble or single purchase sheave is used.) The height of the
sheave above the level of the quay is forty-feet. Instead of
the framing revolving about a fixed post, as is the usual
mode of construction, the post itself is connected with the
framing, and turns with it, so that the strain may be always
in the direction of the greatest strength. To avoid the extra
dimensions of the castings for the post, if it had been com-
posed entirely of cast iron, and for facility in the construc-
tion, the parts of cast and wrought iron are so combined that
the " push" is thrown upon the cast-iron abutting piece
which is placed in front, while the back-part, consisting of
'
wrought-iron bars, bears the " pull." The two rings on
the post are turned on the face and edges, and being bolted
together form a fair surface for the friction rollers, while the
back forms a rest for the tension bars. These back tension
bars arc three inches wide by two and a half inches thick
each, forming au aggregate section of forty-five inches
They were all proved in the bent form in which they aroused,aart
by making fast the ends of each bar to cross heads heldtoni
fromO
by two logs, and suspending a load of twenty-four
calculated
the elbow formed by the bend in the bar ;.

signs and under the direction of the author. Tye eomaiu-
