PRECIPITATION OF RAIN.—An interesting example of the
species of information which an aeronautical acquaintance
with the upper regions of the atmosphere is exclusively cal-
culated to place at our disposal, is to he found in the rela-

tion proved to exist between the formation or precipitation
of rain and the condition of the sky above the clouds which
contain it, and consequently beyond the view of an observer
situated upon the surface of the earth. From this we learn •
the important fact, that whenever, from a skv completely
overcast with clouds, rain should happen- to be falling a
similar range of clouds invariably exists at a certain eleva-
tion above, whereby the rays of the sun are intercepted from
the layer below ; and, on the contrary, whenever with the
same apparent condition of the sky below, rain is altogether
or generally absent, a clear expanse of firmatnent, with a sun
unobstructed by clouds, is sure to. be the.prevailing character
of the space immediately above; thus leaving it a determi-
nate fact, that when vain is pouring from clouds overspread-
ing the earth, the rays of the sun are not operating upon the
clouds in question, while, on the other hand, rain does not
fall from such clouds when the rays of the sun are unob-
structedly acting upon the upper surface.—Polytechnic
Journal.

A SLIM CIIIEF.—Rajah Sooket Sing, or Malek Adhel, as
he was named by the ladies of Sir Henry Fane's camp, is
the brother of the minister, Dbeean Sind. and one of the
handsomest of the Sihk chiefs, who are all eminently good-
looking. He is high in Runjeet's favour, as well as much
respected and admired by all the Sihks,. and about 28 years
of age. His dress was magnificent ; a helmet or scull-cap of
bright polished steel, inlaid with gold, and a deep fringe of
chain mail, of the same material, reaching to his shoulders,
three plumes of black heron's feathers waving on his crest,
and three shawls of lilac, -.white, and scarlet, twisted very
round and tight, interlaced with one another, and gathered
round the edge of the helmet, a chelenk of rubies and dia-
monds on his forehead. Back, breast-plates, and gauntlets
of steel, richly embossed with gold and precious stones, worn
over a rich, thick-quilted jacket of bright yellow silk, with
magnificent armlets of rubies and diamonds on each arm, a
shield of the Polished hide of the rhinocerous, embossed and
ornamented with gold, a jewelled sabre and matchlock, with
his long and glossy black heard and mustachoes, he looked
the very beau ideal of a Sihk chief.—Osborne's Court and
Camp of Runjeet Sing.
INDIA COAL.—To all who look forward with an eye of
hope to the future regeneration of India, the discovery of
this valuable mineral in so many different localities cannot
but prove a source of satisfaction. Dr. Hutchinson, of the
Madras artillery, has drawn up a report on the coal-fields re-
cently discovered in the vicinity of Mergui, b? which it ap-
pears that this coal is easy of access, lyino. at no great depth
beneath the surface, so that shafts may be sunk without dif-
ficulty. For its conveyance there seems to be every facility ;-
the river being adjacent, and a land carriage of one mile only
' being required. It is not stated whether the quality of the
coal has been tested by experiment, but we presume it to be
the same of which Dr. Heifer spoke so highly in his commu-
nications. Steamers will begin to ply between the different
. .

ports in the bay of Bengal ; an d the immediate coal depots,
between the Presidencies and Suez, will be more plentifully
supplied, and at a cheaper rate. The effects these circum-
stances 'will produce on the destinies of India can scarcely be
estimated. The condition of the human race is subject to
constant though gradual change; but the tendency of valuable
disCoveries, such as this, is, in a few years, to bring about
improvements which would otherwise require centuries for
their accomplishment.--East India Magazine.
A BABY AMBASSADOR--Here we met Pertaub Sing, a
boy of seven years of age, son of Sher Sing, and grandson of
the Maharajah. He had been sent by his father to accom-
pany us on our march through his district. Pertaub Sing
was handsomely dressed, armed with a small ornamented
shield. sword, and matchlock, all in miniature, covered with
jewels, and escorted by a small party of Sihk cavalry and
some gtins. His 'Wise was naturally of a white colour, but
died with henna to a deep scarlet. He is one of the most
intelligent boys I ever met with, very good-looking, with
singularly large and expressive eyes. His manners are in
the highest degree attractive, polished, and gentlemanlike,
and totally free from all the mauvaise haute and awkward-
ness so generally found in European children of that age. In
the course of conversation I asked him if his matchlock was
a real one, and if he ever shot with it. He jumped off his
_ _

chair, highly indignant at the question, and Eider rapidly
loading his musket, exclaimed, " Now, what shall I shoot ?"
I replied that I saw nothing in the camp at present it would
be safe to shoot at, and asked him if he thought he could hit
a man at a hundred yards' distance; to which he replied,
without a moment's, hesitation, pointing to the crowd of
Sihk chiefs and soldiers that surrounded the tent, `• These
are all your friends; but show me an enemy to the British
government, and you shall soon see what I can do."—Os-
borne's Court and Camp of .Runfeet Sing.
CONDITIONS OF THE EUROPEANS WHEN AT CANTON.—
In all the other parts of the East, Europeans bear themselves
so haughtily before the natives, and to transcend them in

wealth, luxury, and intellect, that the contrast at Canton is
most striking. Here are generally about3oo foreigners, per-
manently resident, and often more, kept so completely under,
that they may neither bring their- wives, nor take native
ladies, nor build, buy, ride, row, or walk, without restric-
tions wholly forbidden to enter the gates of the city, and
cooped up in a spot which would be cOnsidered in Calcutta or
Madras barely large enough for one good dwelling and com-
pound. The foreign factories, or hongs, -are thirteen in num-
ber; tinder the names of different nations, but occupied some-
what prirmiscuously by themerchants and shopkeepers. They
form a close front along the river, about three hundred yards
in length, with an open space towards the water, which is
here about a quarter of a mite wide." The buildings extend
towards the rear' about two hundred yards.' Each hong is
divided-into ' Several portions; entered by a narrow alleY,
-which passes throngh -to the rear,. aiid is thus made to con-
sist of five or six tenements, generally three stories high.
The heat, -Smoke, noise, and dreariness of the interior of
this mass of buildings, 'with the total absence of female so-
ciety, gives it, in no small degree, the aspect of a prison.
The front-rooms, however, are pleasant, and some of them
have tine promenades on the roof. An open space in front,
about one hundred yards long and fifty wide, serves both as
a wharf and a promenade. But the first of these uses oh-
structslt for the others, to say nothing of barbers, cooks,
pedlars, clothes-menders, coolies, and boatmen,. who crowd
it most of the day.—.lll-alcolm's Travels.
NAPOLEON AND TEES QUEEN OF PRUSSlA.—Napoleon
sent his carriages, horses, equerries, and guards to attend
her (the Queen of Prussia), and conduct her to Tilsit.
" Forgive us," she said, as lie received her; " forgive us
this fatal war • the memory of the great Frederick deceived
us ; we thought ourselves his equals because we are his de-
,seendants ; alas ! we have not proved such!" In a letter to
.Josephine, written at the time, Napoleon says : " The Queen
of Prussia is really a charming woman.. She is fond of co-
quetting with,ree ; but do not be -jealous ; I am like a cere-
cloth, along which everything of this sort slides without
penetratiag. It would cost toe too dear to play the gallant."
. An aneedirte was related in the saloon of Josephine in rela-
tion to this .subject.- It was said that the Queen of Prussia
one day had a beautiful rose in her hand, which the Emperor
asked her to
give him. The Queen hesitated for a few mo-
ments,_ and then presented it to lihn, saying, " Why should
I so readily grant what you request, while you remain deaf
to. allmy,entreatie,i !" She.alluded to Magdeburgh, which
she had earnestly solicitated. It is certain that she did not
succeed in any degree in altering the conditions of the treaty.
—Tyas's History of Napoleon.
THE PHYSIOGNOTYPE.,--The invention of a machine to
which this name has been given for taking most perfect casts
of the living features, must create a total revolution in the
art of re-producing mman likenesses. By the common
mode of taking a cast, the weight and constriction of the
wet plaster not only renders thp progress disagreeable, but
imperfect, especially in representing the features; for the
muscles of the face become rigid, and .the physiognomical
expression of a plaster mask is sullen and painful in conse-
quence. These defects are entirely obviated by the new
machine, which consists of a vertical disc, whose surface is
composed of an almost innumerable quantity of very fine
steel .wires or blunt needles, as close together as the hairs of
a brush, moving in two plates, perforated with a correspon-
ding number of holes, with so much ease that the wires yield
to the slightest pressure : into this surface the face is gently
pushed, and by a most simple and ingenious contrivance the
whole of the wires are in an instant fixed securely, their sur-
face presenting a concave mould of the face. A cast is then
taken in plaster, and as many copies produced as may be
desired. So instantaneous is the operation, anti so delicate
the construction of the mechanism, that the face of a crying
child is taken with all its muscular contortions; and were
any person to keep open his eyes, the eye-ball would not be
injured. By this invention, posterity may, in future, be in
possession of an accurate likeness of all great and eminent
characters.

EASTERN CONSUMPTION or OPIUM.—It is hardly ne-
cessary to apprise the reader, that opium, the extract from
poppy plant, is an article of almost universal use in Turkey,
Persia, Arabia, Sumatra, Java, and the whole of the great
Malayan Archipelago, not merely as a drug, but as a source
of consolation or of misery, as used sparingly, or abused by
excess ; that it is also in very general use in India, more
especially, we may almost say universally, among the Rajpoot
race—and a fine race of men they are ; we understand, also,
that if is served out as a ration to the Malay-troops in Ceylon.
Ond would really suppose, from Mr. Thelwall's lamentations,
that the whole population of China were opium-smokers, a
drunken, depraved, and immoral set of beings, wholly ab-
sorbed in inhaling this deudly poison, destructive both of
body and mind. Nothing can be more incoherent. Sir John
Barrow, who appears to have walked a great part of the way
along the banks of the grand canal, states, that in the whole
distance (about 1,200 miles) he did not see one man in a state
of intoxication ; and, we believe, that this smoking of opium
is, in fact, a very confined and limited practice. The " Re-
sident in China" has made a calculation, the result of which
is, that 40,000 chests a year will just afford a daily whiff to
no more than 166 men, women, and children, out of a popu-
lation of 350,000,000 inhabitants ; that is to say, about
2,110,000 individuals would smoke opium, and the cost to
each person would be something less than a penny a day.—
Quarterly Review.
GOVERNMENT AND NO GOVERNMENT.--1111Sthe Downing-
street Club any claim upon the name of a government in the
management of our Finances? The mere suggestion of such
an idea is enough to raise the unextinguishable laughter of
gods and men. Never surely since Exchequers were created
was there such a Chancellor as Lord Monteagle—invested
with the robes of the peerage for the same reason that Sir De
Lacy Evans was invested with the collar of the Bath—because
he covered himself and his office with ridicule and disgrace.
There is no need of encumbering our page with figures ; it is
quite enough to say that now, in the twenty-fifth year of
peace, with all our establishments, civil, military, and naval,
in all their dedartments shamelessly cut down and reduced
to the very verge of inefficiency, we are falling in our finances
at the rate of from one to two millions a year ; and that in
all probability the deficiency will this year, 1840, nearly reach
three millions ! And yet, in the face of this astounding fact,
ministers, to say nothing of some £30,000 lost by Spring
Rice'S blundering in his loan—the Newport job, converting
a place of £l4OO a year into a nest of places of £s4oo—the
proposed dotation of £50,000 a year to Prince Albert, re-
luctantly reduced to £30,000 when the Prince himself, it is
said, expected what, under the circumstances, would have
been quite-sufficient, £4ooo.—the £70,000 for the Queen's
stables—the £30,000 for the education quackery, which, to
say nothing of other objections to it in any other score, is
already turning out to be a miserable failure. Ministers, we
say, in the face of this unprecedented deficiency, and in the
midst of this wasteful profusion, have had the brazen folly to
reduce the Postoffice duty from eightpence (the average sum
of postage) to one penny—thereby risking at least an annual
million, and that on the eve of engaging us in a war, the
extent or duration of which no man is hardy enough to con-
jecture. This they have done out of no desire to make their
budget look less prosperous ; all Chancellors of the Exche-
quer, whig as well as tory, are anxious that their accounts
should bear as favourable an appearance as possible—out of
no peculiar taint of stupidity afiecting the present ministry
in such matters, for tory financiers have bungled and blun-
dered as well as whigs, but from the one main blight which
plagues them in every thing they undertake—THEY HAVE
NO POWER ! They saw as well as we do, that risking the
Postoffice duty was impolitic ; but it was popular, and as they
must truckle for popularity, the risk was hazarded. They
know as well as we do, that the grant of ..Z70,000 for stables,
and the proposed vote of £50,000 a year to Prince Albert,
were shameful and enormous; but the Court wished for the
money, and as they must truckle to the back-stairs, it was
given in one instance, and asked for in another. They know
as well as we do, that the education vote of £30,000 was
either absolutely useless, or if productive of any effect,
designed to act as " a heavy blow and a vast discouragement"
to the Church of England ; but the Irish papists desired it.
and as the main hold of the ministry is by the Tail, the sum
was voted. In all this we cannot descry any trace of a
government.—Church of England Review.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, APRIL 20.

A little new Butter has arrived, but of indifferent quality, for
which 112 s per cwt has been asked. Real Grass Butter would
readily bring this price, and possibly 2s to 3s more. There is a
scarcity of the finer qualities of :out, which however does not appear
to affect inferior stuff, that being almost immovable at any price.
The market for new Pickled Butter is expected to open at about
102 s for 2nds —Beef and Pork arc in more abundant supply. never-
theless holders continue to require extremely high rates.—The ex-
port trade for these articles is not brisk, the demand being alto-
gether confined to ship stores.—Bacon is less in demand, the late
currency. is however supported. •
