THE LIVER THEATRE.—We last evening had an opportu-
nity of witnessing the surprising feats of sleight of hand and
deception of Mr. Anderson. From having frequently seen
such exhibitions, and being tolerably close observers, it is
very seldom that we have not been able to discover the
modus operandi by which the deception is practised: but we
confess we were frequently completely at fault ; some of the
tricks being so surprising, and apparently so unconnected
from all mechanical contrivance or connection with " the
magician," that we were obliged to merge inquiry in wonder.
Not the least extraordinary of his tricks is " the gun trick,"
in which he allows any individual who chooses to go on the
stage to load a rifle with ball, and fire at him; and after-
wards he shows the ball between his teeth. Those who have
not yet witnessed the performance have an evening's amuse-
ment iu store.

FlRE.—Last night, about 12 o'clock, a file took place in
Warehouse No. 2, in Cook-street, occupied by Messrs.
Chapman, Gregson, & Co., wholesale stationers, and agents
for Settle paper mills. In five minutes after the alarm was
given, two engines with a strong body of fire police were on
the spot. At this time flames burst through the window of
No. 2 warehouse, the second story, and also burnt through
the door, and began running up to the cat-head, and there
was every appearance of a❑ extensive tire. The room in
which the fire had originated was one mass of flame. In
less than three minutes the hose was run off the reels of both
engines; one was carried up the staircase, and the other, by
means of the fire-ladder, to the blazing window. Under the
active superintendence of Mr. Dowling, who was immedi-
ately on the spot, the engines were got into instant play,
and the fire was complelely quenched in an incredibly short
time ; twenty minutes not having elapsed between the first
discovery of the fire and its complete extinguishment. Mr.
Whitty was on the spot as soon as the engines had got into
play, and Hewitt, as usual, was prominently active. We
cannot give too much praise to the great alacrity of the fire
police, who seem to have been taught the need of it by the
recent fire. Had the fire got hold, owing to the narrowness
of the street and the height of the buildings, with a stiff
breeze blowing, there is no telling what damage might have
been done.

The Sultan has forwarded a magnificent present for her
Majesty Queen Victorio, composed of a necklace of diamonds
rubies, and emeralds, said to be of the value of upwards o
£12,000.

The court is expected to leave Windsor for Brighton the
second week in November, for a sojourn of six weeks, and
the Princess Augusta will leave Frogmore for Brighton at
the same period.
GRACE DAHL ING.—We are glad to learn, that, in order to
mark their sense of the heroic conduct of Miss Darling
in the affair of the Forfarshire, the directors of the Glasgow
Humane Society have sent her their honorary silver medal,
bearing the following inscription !—" Presented by the
directors of the Glasgow Humane Society to Miss Grace
Horsley Darling, in admiration of her dauntless and heroic
condnct in saving (along with her father) the lives of nine
persons from the wreck of the Forfarshire steamer, Sep. 6,
18.38."—Glavow paper.

A DRAMA IN ONE ACT.—On Thnrsdav a batch of strolling
players erected a large booth on the 111avIDay Green, Barns-
ley, for the purpose of acting comedies, for the amusement
of the country lads and lasses; but lo! in the midst of their
performances a tremendous gust of wind blew the whole of
their crazy fabric down upon the audience, about 150 in
nntnber. Shrieks and loud bursts of laughter followed the
event, as the auditors rolled about beneath the weight of
canvass and boards, Ladies' bonnets, hats, coats, and
gowns were made shapeless, and a more laughable and lu-
dicrous picture could scarcely be imagined. Fortunately no
damage of moment was done to life or limb.—Leeds

EXPERIMENTAL TRIP FROM LIVERPOOL TO
DUBLIN OF THE STEAM-SHIP LIVERPOOL.

(From the Albion of Yesterday.)
It was intended that the Liverpool should start on her first
trip, as an experiment, on Friday evening, but, as the wea-
ther had been boisterous and unsettled during that and the
previous day, and the commander of the Postoffice packet
that arrived from Dublin reported, that he never saw a worse
sea in the Channel and on the banks, the Directors, wisely
considering that " the better part of valour is discretion,'
decided on not sending her to sea, particularly as the machi-
nery was untried She was, consequently, detained until the
following morning. The party who purposed to proceed with
her, however, consisting of about thirty gentlemen, went on
board the vessel, then lying at anchor in the Sloyne, near
Birkenhead, at half-past eight on Friday evening, arrange-
ments having been made to render them comfortable for the
night. Amongst those present were Sir John Tobin, (by
whom the Liverpool was built, and from she was purchased
by the company,) Mr. Alderman Booth, Mr. Harold Little-
dale, and Mr. Joseph C. Ewart, directors; Mr. J. C. Shaw,
under whose able superintendence the vessel was fitted up;
Mr. Forrester, the builder of the engines; Mr. Humble, of
the firm of Messrs. Humble and Milcrest, the builders of the
vessel; Messrs. Thomas Bold, George Irlam, Edward
Littledale, Robert Horsfall, George Ashton, John Colton ;
Captain Hoxie, of the North America New York line ship;
Capt. Keay, and others, including three gentlemen of the
press. The cabinet-makers, gilders, and decorators, em-
ployed in fitting up the two cabins had scarcely completed
their extensive operations when the guests arrived, and when
these apartments and the numerous state rooms (already de-
scribed) were lighted up, their extraordinary size (one 48
feet and the otber 35Jeet in length) elicited from every one
present an expression of unqualified approbation of the taste
and propriety of the design, and the beauty of the finishing
and the furniture. The company was received by Captain
Favrer, the gallant and experienced commander of the ves-
sel, and Mr. Shaw, who were unceasing, throughout the trip.
in their attention to the comfort and entertainment of their
guests. These gentlemen are well known, and not less es-
teemed in Liverpool; but as this sketch may meet the eyes
of strangers, it may be proper to state, that Mr. Shaw, the
new manager for the Transatlantic Company of that town,
himself a seaman and a scholar, accompanied the Royal
William on her first voyage to New York, by which he made
a valuable addition to the science of ocean steam navigation;
in acknowledgment of which, (and the fact is not generally
known,) his private friends recently presented him with a
service of plate, of the value of two hundred guineas. Capt.
fayrer, it may be said, "has seen a little service," having
been at sea for upwards of thirty years. He served his coun-
try under the gallant Captain Cochrane, and bears on his
person honourable testimony of his gallantry, in several
wounds, one of which has maimed his hand. He sailed, for
many voyages, with large vessels to India from Liverpool,
and has commanded, for the last seven years, the Govern-
ment Steam-packet between Port Patrick and Donaghadee.
It may be added, that the Captain is possessed of an endless
fund of rich comic anecdote, gathered in the course of his
experiences, and that to the firmness of the seaman, he
unites all the suavity of social life.
Every possible arrangement had been made for the com-
fort of the guests on board of the Liverpool, Mr. Horne, of
the Mersey Hotel, (who was himself on board,) having been
deputed to lay in an ample stock of the good things of this
world, which he did in a manner showing him to be an ad-
mirable purveyor of the luxuries of the table. About nine
o'clock, the guests sat down to a cold collation, with wines,
in the after cabin, or dining-room, and conviviality and
good humour prevailed until midnight, when all retired to
their respective state-rooms, and resigned themselves to re-
pose. Towards four in the morning the fires were lighted;
and the vessel might have set steam at five, but the pilot
ruled that an hour's delay would ensure a safer depth of
water. The anchor was, accordingly, weighed a few minutes
before six, and the vessel put in motion. Mr. Hardman
Earle came on board, by a small boat, at this hour, just in
time to save his passage. The sun had not yet risen, butthe
ruddy reflection of his rays, immediately over the town, (the
sky above being dark and lowering,) had the appearance
of a great fire.

At twenty minutes past six, the Liverpool passed opposite
St. Nicholas's Church, the usual place of starting of the Go-
vernment and other out-going steam-boats, and from which,
consequently, she took her " departure." It was, no doubt,
generally thought, that she had sailed on the previous even-
ing, yet parties in the neighbourhood of the docks had
learned the contrary, and a large number of persons had
collected on the piers, particularly at the lower end of the
Prince's Dock, to witness her departure. She was, however,
too distant from the shore to give or to receive a parting
cheer. She had on board 371 tons of fuel, beingthe greatest
portion of the stock required to steam her across the Atlan-
tic; notwithstanding the depression which so large a quan-
tity, in addition to all her stores, necessarily produced, her
speed against the flood was 10 to 101 knots an hour, which
she maintained generally, and sometimes exceeded, through-
out a passage which, on the whole, was stormy, with a heavy
beam sea for the most part, and a heading wind. In twenty
minutes she passed the Rock Lighthouse, the engine giving
about fourteen strokes per minute. We passed several
steamers homeward-bound, and returned their cheers. In
turning into the Rock Channel, we began to feel a swell of a
sea, the result of the previous gales, kept up by a stiff breeze
from the north, which looked black, accompanied by a
shower of rain and sleet. Set the foresail, and, afterwards
the mainsail, close-hauled, the breeze increasing as we pro-
ceeded, accompanied by some hail. During occasional
gleams of sunshine, Hilbre Island and the shores on the
estuary of the Dee looked beautiful. We now observed, that
the hills behind the Ormshea4 were covered with a thin coat-
ing of snow, and the chillness of the wind betokened a pre-
mature visit of winter. Some of the passengers began to
feel the effects of the unaccustomed motion of a sea voyage,
and were obediently mindful of a bard who erewhile sang:
"'Tis sweet to sail upon the Mersey's breast:—
Not when the sluggish wave is lull'd to sleep,
But when it lifts its living snowy crest
To kiss the gentle gales that o'er it sweep:
'Tis sweet on deck, when sail or steam is press'd,
And wings the bark, all foaming, through the deep;
All this is well, till round the Rock you go;—
Then you'll get sea-sick, and must go below."

Most of the gentlemen, so afflicted, soon cleared out," at
the marine custom.house, and came up, with a vigorous ap-
petite, for a share of the good things that courted their re-
gard; but a few disappeared from the deck and the dining-
room, and, nesting themselves in their dormitories, did not
again show their countenances until the good Liverpool got
into the comparatively smooth water of the entrance to Dub-
lin Bay. We passed the Floating Light, the wind blowing
fresh, with a heavy and gathering sea on the beau]. Soon
after, reefed the mainsail, the topmasts being before struck
and all made snug. At eleven o'clock, saw the Calf of Man,
bearing about south, and, at the same time, the high land of
of the Isle of Man, to the westward, white with snow. The
sea rolled heavier and heavier from the north, and so conti-
nued until after we passed the Skerries, when the weather
became more moderate. The ship underwent a fair trial
during the height of the breeze and the swell, and behaved
most admirably, easing, herself in every emergency, and dis-
appointing the saucy waves, that threatened to roll over her,
by rising gently upon her paddles, dashing their tops into
foam behind her. She steered with the greatest facility, one
hand being sufficient to give her safe guidance, even in the
heaviest of the sea, as was proved by Sir John Tobin himself,
who steered her, with all the enthusiasm of an amateur and
the skill of a sailor, for several leagues. It was a glorious
sight to stand near the wheel of this stupendous ship, (two
hundred and thirty-five feet in length) and mark with what
indignant velocity, " like a thing of life," she cut through
the mountainous element that boiled and yawned around her,
and vainly sought to oppose her progress, without once ship-
ping, a sea; propelled by two engines, wonderful in their
might, and in their operation so easy and regular as to con-
vey a perfect dependance upon their strength and durability.
To see this,—to take a long walk, too, upon her spacious
decks; a lounge through her palace-like cabins, feeling as
secure as on terra
,firma; all conveyed to the mind a pecu-
liar, indescribable, but delightful sensation—that of the ac-
complishment of one of the noblest triumphs of human sci-
ence, ingenuity, and enterprise that the world has yet wit-
nessed. Whatever improvements may be hereafter made in
steam navigation, the originators of the present ocean vessels,
thr?ugl!, whose exertions commerce will be extended, and
social intercourse increased throughout the world, are far
more deserving of laurels than those, however fashionable
may be the adulation of ignorant minds, who boast of being
the conquerors of nations.

We remarked, that during the height of the gale, the wea-
ther paddle-wheel was frequently clear out of the water, and
the spray which it threw up, when the sun occasionally looked
out, formed a small, and, we may say, " portable," rainbow.
About noon we passed the town of Amlwch, in Anglesea.
The whole of the hills in the interior were covered with snow,
as were the hills on the east of Beaumaris Bay, including
the lofty Penmanmawr. The Skerries, with the Lighthouse,
and, afterwards, Holyhead were here in sight, and, though
the sea was running very high, and we were in the height of
it, the vessel continued to maintain her speed, at all times
approaching ten knots, and often exceeding it. The North
and South Stack and Lighthouses, and the land forming
Carnarvon Bay, were next visible, and these, rendered con-
spicuous on the horizon by the snow, were visible until we
saw the coast of Ireland right a head. The waves dashed
against the Skerries and the adjacent bold shores, rose in
white foam many feet in height. At two o'clock we passed
the Holyhead mail-boat from Dublin, near her destination,
(having left at nine in the morning) showing considerable
canvas. From this time, or, rather, after passing Point
Lynas, the sea became less heavy, and the wind slightly
abated. Some vessels we met were still hammering away
under reefed topsails. Our speed in smoother water, as a
matter of course, increased, but only in a small degree; and
we felt convinced, that, when the stiffness is worn off the
engines, the Liverpool will head a strong breeze and cor-
responding sea, eleven knots. At three o'clock the South
Stack bore E.S.E., distance about twenty miles.
During the day, refreshments were constantly served to all
the guests who would partake of them. At four o'clock, the
passengers and their entertainers sat down in the main cabin
to a capital dinner, followed by a desert and abundance of
drinkables. " The Liverpool" was, of course, toasted, with
success to her, as well as the health of Sir John Tobin, a
veteran whose affable conduct throughout was a theme of
universal remark.

After dinner the company went on deck, and the coast of
Ireland, the Hill of Howth, Ireland's Eye, the Wicklow
mountains, and other objects gave subject for conversation
and repartee, both topographical and political. The greatest
good-humour, however, prevailed; and forty-five minutes
past eleven, we passed the Bailey Light, having, with a new
boat, new and stiff engines, new hands, strong winds and a
heavy sea, accomplished the trip in twelve hours and twenty-
one minutes.

After passing the Bailey Light darkness had set in, and,
as caution was necessary, the speed of the engines was re-
duced. As we cast anchor in the harbour of Kingstown, and
some rockets announced to the good people of great Dublin,
that the great Liverpool had arr►ved, numerous boats put off
from the shore, and much anxiety was exhibited to examine
her cabins and engines. Some of the passengers went on
shore, and took way to Dublin by the railway; but not a
few of them, including Sir John Tobin, remained on board,
and never left the vessel from the time of her departure until
her return.

The Sheersvuter, Government steamer, which left Liver,
pool at five o'clock on Friday evening, did not reach Kings.
town till half-past eight in the morning, thus making a pas.
sage of 15u hours.

On Sunday multitudes of persons, of all classes, came down
fiorn Dublin, bills announcing the Liverpool's arrival having
been posted over night, with an intimation, that she must be
in Liverpool on Monday morning, as she would sail on the
20th for New York. Tickets of admission were sold, at the
instance of the Company, at a shilling each, the proceeds to
be handed to the Mendicity Society; and the of £l5O
was collected in this manner. Never before did there appear
such crowds of persons on the quays at Kingstown, if the
day of the landing of George the Fourth be excepted. To-
wards sun-down the anchor was weighed, and the vessel
steamed out to the mouth of the bay, where she waited for
some time, it being thought better to delay starting, and ride
at safe anchorage on that side of the water, than run the risk
of making the channel, at Liverpool, in the morning, before
she should have sufficient depth to run up. The interim was,
however, most agreeably employed.
At six o'clock, the tables, which had, during the day, been
most tastefully laid out by Mr. Horne, were replenished with
a. most abundant supply of warm and cold meats, including
fish, soups, fowls, game, confectionary, jellies, grapes, fruit,
and a variety of substautials and delicacies in Mr. Horne's
best style. The plate exhibited, consisting of espergnes,
marked, "The Transatlantic Steam-ship Company," was
most splendid ; and many of the dishes of confectionary
were decorated with little flags and other ornaments of silk
and gold frine marked, "Success to the Liverpool," &c.
The wines are excellent, including champagne. The whole
company sat down to this sumptuous repast. and enjoyed
themselves in the most social and agreeable manner, the gal. a

ant captain presiding with his accustomed frankness, hu-
mour, and attention.
. _

Mr. HA a DMAN EARLE, before the cloth was drawn, said.
he rose to propose a toast, which he was sure would be re-
ceived with approbation by all who were present, and that
was " Prosperity to the Transatlantic Steam Company, and
thanks to them for the handsome entertainment they bad
given them, and the gratification they had afforded to those
who had not an opportunity. of crossing the Atlantic of expe-
riencing the powers and capabilities of the splendid ship Li-
verpool."— (M uch applause.)
Mr. HAROLD LITTLEDALE, in returning thanks, said, that
the Directois felt highly flattered by the manner in which the
toast had been drunk, and still more so, to witness the suc-
cess, so far, of the Liverpool, which, they hoped, would be
found to justify every expectation excited of her superiority.
The undertaking had been commenced under the most fa-
vourable auspices, and all was full of promise as to the future.
He concluded by returning thanks.—(Applause.)
Captain FAYRER then rose to propose the health of a gen-
tleman well known to them all, and without whose exertions
and enterprise they would not that night be enjoying them-
selves on hoard the Liverpool.—(Hear!) Tbat individual
was, perhaps, the most spirited man in Liverpool, and the ac-
tivity of his mind was only equalled by the goodness of bis
heart. He proposed Sir John Tobin's good health.—(Great
and prolonged applause.)
Sia J. ToniN said, he felt much obliged to his friend
Captain Favrer, for the compliment, unmerited as it was,
which he (Capt. F.) had chosen to pay him, Although he
had been concerned in the building of the vessel, he had
along with him the able assistance of Mr. Humble and Mr.
Forrester, in planning the dimensions and build, and, be
might say, that as nothing was done prematurely, or without
long and serious consideration, they had gone to work with
confidence, and they hoped, from what they had already
shown, that their calculations had not been very erroneous.
(Applause.) He had every confidence in the good behaviour
of the Liverpool, and every hope of her future success. But
he disclaimed all the merit that was awarded him, and beg-
ged to say, that nearly all was due to his excellent friends,
Mr. Forrester, and Mr. Humble. He again thanked them
for the kind manner in which they had drunk his health.—
(Much applause.)
Captain FAYRER rose to propose the health of several
gentlemen for whom he entertained the highest respect, and
one of whom was then amongst them—he meant the Ameri-
caa Captains. Several of these gentlemen no sooner learned
that the Liverpool was to be fitted up with all possible ex-
pedition, than they kindly offered their services to expedite
the undertaking, for which he should ever feel grateful.—
( Hear !) He begged to propose "The health of Captain.
Hoxie."

Captain HOXIE said, he felt much obliged to Captain Fay-
rer for the handsome manner in which he had drunk the
health of the American Captains He begged leave to pro-
pose, "England and America: at variance, the resources of
both would be reduced; united, they might bid defiance to
the world!"—(Much approbation.)
Captain FA VEER said, he should now propose the health of
a gentleman who bad acquired distinguished reputation by
the building of many fine vessels, and who was about to make
himself still more celebrated in America: he meant Mr.
Humble.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. H usiats said, he felt grateful for the manner in which
his health had been drunk, but be was much too humble an
individual to take all the merit that was ascribed to him. All
was due to Sir J. Tobin himself, notwithstanding his modest
disavowal.—(Hear!) He (Mr. H.) and his partner only
carried out the plans and suggestions of Sir J. 'robin ; and
be had but to wish, with regard to the Liverpool, that her
voyage might be as short as his (Mr.'s) speech.—(Applause
and laughter.)

Mr. I: irrLimA LE rose, and proposed the good health of
the talented builders of the engines of the Liverpool. These
gentlemen had turned out the swiftest iron boat that had yet
ploughed the ocean, (the Rainbow,) and he had no doubt
but that the engines which had propelled them on the Irish
Sea would be found to be the swiftest in any wooden boat
hitherto built. He proposed the health of Mr. Forrester.
Mr. FORRES•TER, for himself and partner, returned thanks
in a very neat address, concluding, by expressing a hope,
that the engines would be found to work well and speedily
on the Atlantic.

Captain FAYRER proposed the health of a gentleman to
whom much credit was due, for his exertions in the fitting-
up of the vessel in an an almost incredibly short time. " Mr.
Shaw." (Cheers )
Mr. SHAW expressed his grateful acknowledgments, and
said, that he was more than repaid, for any exertion he had
made, by the success, so far, of the Liverpool. There were,
however, other parties who had equally exerted themselves.
For himself, he had certainly gained considerable experience
in steam navigation, during his connexion with the City of
Dublin Company; and he would but add, that be ardently
hoped the Liverpool would realize the expectations excited
by this her first trial. (Cheers.)
Mr. HARDMAN EARLE begged to propose the health of a
gentleman, without whose exertions all the high-promise held
out by the vessel would be unavailing; on whose skill and
activity, indeed, her success mainly depended. He proposed,
" The health of Captain Fayrer.'
Captain FA RRR, in reply, begged to assure them that be
had the interests of the company at heart, and not less so, in
this enterprise, the interests of Liverpool. (Hear.) He
hoped to meet them again, before long, on his return from
America. (Cheers.)

Sir JOHN Torsi's, in proposing the health of Mr. Milcrest,
pronounced a high eulogium on the character of that gentle-
man, both as a nava architect and a man. (Applause.)
Captain FA YRER said, they had been standing too long
upon one tack. They haft been drinking each other's
healths, and forgetting more worthy objects. He proposed,
"Lady Tobin and the Ladies of Liverpool." (Cheers.)
Sir J. TOBIN returned thanks in a feeling manner.
Mr. SHAW proposed, "That mighty power that forwarded
improvement and kept society together,—the Press."
Mr. J. S. WALKER. from the Albion, and afterwards Mr.
ALEXANDER, of the Mail, briefly returned thanks.
The health of Charles W. Williams, Esq., the originator
and promoter of steam navigation to Ireland, was then drunk
with great applause.
Mr. SHAW replied. There was not a more amiable man
in existence than Mr. Williams. He had, indeed, but one
fault, which would be shown were he present, and that was,
that he allowed his modesty to cloak his talents. He (Mr. S.)
felt individually grateful to that gentleman, as all must do
who bad any connexion with him. (Cheers.)
Several other toasts were drunk and responded to, and an
anecdote was told of an Irish boatman, who had that day
visited the Liverpool at Kingstown. Pat, on seeing the two
chimneys, and endeavouring to catch .her great length at a
glance, exclaimed to his companion, " Is it a steam-boat ye
call it ? By my sowl, it's two (oats spliced together!"
At half-past ten o'clock the anchor was weighed, and the
vessel steered out to sea, the wind blowing rather briskly
front W.N.W. At eleven o'clock set the foretopsail and
foresail, which was all the sail carried on the passage. In
crossing the Channel, the engines worked more rapidly than
on the outward trip, making an average of aboutsixteen and
a half strokes per minute, andsailing at eleven and a quarter
miles an hour. It should be remarked, that it was found,
that, on the outward passage, she was overfloated, though
with 370 tons of coal on board, and her paddle-boards were,
consequently, slightly reduced at Kingstown, to expedite the
motion of her engines. A strong breeze prevailed through
the night, accompanied by a heavy sea, which, however,
took little or no effect upon the vessel, which dashed on, in
glorious style, on her course. Soon after three o'clock, the
Stack-lights were left astern, and the Skerries brought almost
abeam. The sett, from this time till dawn ran higher. The
Liverpool, however, proved herself a remarkably easy sea
boat. Some of the passengers retired to their berths: others
remained up the whole night, whiffing their cigars and en-
joying the sail, the wind not being cold, and enlivening
each other by, in nautical parlance, " spinning yarns." At
eight o'clock, passed the Light-ship. On approaching the
Mersey, the scene became animated and interesting. Seve-
ral ships and brigs were steering port ward under close-
reefed topsails. These, the Liverpool, taking in all sail,
readily passed, and in ten hours and a half after leaving Ire-
land was opposite New Brighton. A considerable number
of persons collected on the quays to witness the arrival of
the vessel, and she reached her place of "departure," op.
polite
St. Nicholas's Church, at twelve minutes past nine
o'clock, making the voyage from Kingstown in ten hours
and forty-two minutes. She passed up the river to the
Sloyne, -where the anchor was dropped, and the passengers
went on shore by a steam-boat, all highly delighted with the
trip, whether as regarded the powers of the vessel, under
some disadvantages, or the urbanity and attention paid by
the gentlemen connected with the Company.
Such is a hasty and, necessarily, imperfect sketch of the
first trip of the Liverpool, written, for the most part, on board
of the vessel. The result fairly justifies the conclusion, that,
when all on board is completed, the stiffness of the engines
worn off, and the improvements made which this first voyage
has suggested, she will be one of the most ocean-worthy and
swiftest vessels hitherto built, and become a credit to the
owners and to the port.

CAUTION TO FIREWORK MAKERS.—On Friday evening,
as the son of Jonathan Kippax, of hleltham, and another
boy were employed making fireworks by candle light, a spark
from the candle ignited a quantity of gunpowder which was
laid carelessly on the table, and by the explosion, one of the
boys was so severely burnt, that for some time his life was
in imminent danger.—Leeds Intelligencer.
A monrnful event occurred at Ripley, Indiana, a few weeks
ago. Two brothers were hunting in the woods, when one of
them espied, as he supposed, a deer. He told his brother to
fire. The brother did so, and on repairing to the spot, they
found, instead of a deer, the daughter of one of them in the
agonies of death, the ball having passed through her head.
The Calverley Hotel, at Tunbridge Wells, is said to be
one of the most splendid in England; and the cost of erect-
ing it exceeded £30,000. By way of encouragemeit to a re-
spectable aspirant for fame and fortune, the first year's rent
is to be £2OO only, and the highest that is expected in years
to come, when the profits may arrive at £lo,(Mper annum,
is never to exceed £BOO per annum—surely this must be a
good speculation.
PROROGATION OF PARLIANIENT.—Thursday being the
day to which parliament stood prorogued, the House of
Lords met at two o'clock for the purpose of a further proro-
gation, to Tuesday the 4th of December. The Lords Com-
missioners were the Lord Chancellor, the Earlof Albemarle,
and Lord Falkland; only one other peer was present; and
the House of Commons was represented by Mr. Rickman,
the second clerk. No member of the house was in at-
tendance.

LION-HUNT IN THE COUNTRY OP THE DAICtRAS.--The
people went over the ground at a rapid pace, talking and
making some noise; when, about a mile from the dead bul-
lock, a large male lion started out of a bush, and galloped
off before us, among the trees and underwood. A shout was
immediately raised by the whole body of hunters, who, with
the dogs, unhesitatingly gave chase. We ran down hills,
along valleys, and up acclivities; leaped rocks, and brushed
by thorn bushes. Sometimes we lost sight of the lion; but
again he appeared galloping and trotting on before ns, with
the dogs close at his heels. We ran for an hour, and our
strength was tried to the uttermost with the broken ground.
I was rather inconvenienced by some extra ammunition I
carried for the people, and I thought the lion was never to
be brought to bay, when he began to slacken his pace. Some
of the people of A ramap then ran ahead, cut off an angle,
and the lion seeinc, the people before him, "brought up" in
a large bush. The dogs now surrounded the bush, and barked
in a tone of mingled fear and anger, but dared not go in;
for the monarch of the plains, raising himself, and with mouth
open, mane erected, and his tail lashing the ground like the
flail of a tbresher, growled and roared terrifically. I had
previously told Aramap that only half of the people must fire
at once, and the other half reserve their fire; and the line
was in the act of being hastily formed for a volley, when the
lion again dashed off at right angles to his former course,
with all the dogs after him. The hunters had recovered their
breath for another run, when a noble black dog, foremost in
the pursuit, bit the heel of the lion. Before this, the king of
beasts, flying before his pursuers, looked like a large yellow
mastiff; now he altered in a moment, and with every hairon
end, with teeth displayed, and tail in the air, he wheeled
round, and swelled out apparently to the size of an ox. De-
spising the dogs, his whole attention was bent on the men—
he rushes towards them from a distance of two or three hun-
dred yards--there is a cry of "'glum! 'ynoo!" (sit! sit!)—
for it is of no use standing up against a lion, or running
away from him—almost all are down in a moment; fora lion
is less likely to strike a person standing up than one sitting
or lying, and if he does strike he remains on his victim, so
that the rest have then an opportunity of destroying him.
We made up our minds to one of the party being sacrificed.
The lion dashes through bushes, nothing stops him or turns
him aside, he springs into the air over a rock, and tears off a

carbon for the purposes of smelting and other processes in
the arts from the burning of wood, which, as the charcoal is
merely required, they iguite in large conical masses covered
with earth. In this country, however, where the contrary is
the case and coke can readily be obtained, we seldom ignite
wood except for the purpose of obtaining the pyroligueous
liquors which it contains. The charcoal is to us the least
valuable of the products. Every one is familiar with the
appearance of wood charcoal, which has thus been prepared.
It is soft or hard according to the quality of the wood and
the temperature to which it has been submitted. The char-
coal made in the preparation of vinegar is not well burned,
on account of which it gives out disagreeable acrid fumes when
burned. If we take any organic substances and leave them
to the action of the air and of moisture, they become carbon.
This goes on with great rapidity in districts which are sup-
plied. with abundant quantities of water, where mossy vege-
tables exist closely linked together, and hence the origin of
peat. If we suppose that owing to accidental circumstances
these masses are confined by clay, we shall have an idea of
the mode in which coal has been formed in this country. This
action which is now going on in the hogs and morasses is the
same which went on in former times, so as to present us
with our present supply of coals. We have other sources of
carbon, but amongst these there is only one which specially
•equires our notice. It is the plump go or black lead which
is used in the manufacture of blaer lead pencils. This is
frequently formed artificially, and it sometimes happens
when cast iron has been exposed to the action of the atmos-
phere and water for a considerable time, that the iron is com-
pletely removed from the mass, and a complete cinder re-
mains behind, giving us remarkably pure black lead. It
was for a long time supposed that plumbago was a compound
of carbon and iron, but it has been discovered that the iron
is only mechanically mixed, and that plumbago in a state of
purity is pure carbon. Carbon has an affinity for oxygen,
which upon uniting with it forms a compound called carbonic
acid gas ; and this, combined with lime, generates the
various Species of carbonate of lime, such as chalk, marble,
&c. so abundantly met with in nature. The presence of
carbonic acid is readily shewn by lime water which it renders
completely turbid, carbonate of lime being foamed. By ad-
ding to the mixture a small quantity of any acid, an 4r-
vescence takes place and the whiteness disappears.
When an organic substance is exposed to heat, its elements,
which are generally carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, are ex-
posed to a new set of circumstances : new effects are called
into play. At low temperatures, carbon has a very slight affi-
nity for oxygen ; but at high temperature, it has a very power-.
ful affinity for it. In this way the hydrogen is separated, oue
portion of which combines with the oxygen to form water, and
another with the carbon. Organic substances generally con-
tain carbon to great excess. In some instances, besides one
portion uniting with the hydrogen to form olefiant gas, ano-
ther portion of it unites with the oxygen to form carbonic
oxide. Olefiant gas was discovered by some Dutch chemists,
who, towards the latter end of the last century, had associated
themselves for the purpose of research. The mode in which
it is prepared is very simple. If I take a quantity of spirits
of wine, and pour upon it some vitriol, there is a great heat
evolved. The wine becomes hot, and on applying heat ole-
fiant gas is given off. Oil of vitriol is characterized by its
powerful affinity for water, which it takes from the spirits of
wine, and (defiant gas is set free. It is called olefiant gas
from its singular property of making oil. Spirits of wine
consists of 4 atoms of carbon, 6 of hydrogen, and 2 of oxy-
gen. By the action of sulphuric acid there are formed two
portions of water (2 hydrogen and 2 oxygen), and 4 of hydro-
gen and 4 of carbon unite to form olefiant gas. By the ac-
tion of heat upon wood, olefiant gas is produced. Although,
in the process of the formation of coal from the wood, a great
deal of its hydrogen was lost, still it contains a great deal of
hydrogen. The average of coal contains 80 per cent. of car-
bon, 8 to 9 of hydrogen, and the remainder is made up of
oxygen, with a small quantity of nitrogen. The result is, that
when we heat coal, a small proportion of the hydrogen com-
bines with the oxygen to form water; but the great mass of
it is separated as hydrogen : therefore coal is made use of for
the purposes of procuring flame. Olefiant gas burns with a
remarkably bright light. It is lighter than atmospheric air,
being nine. tenths of its weight. The consequence of this is,
that it can be applied as a means of elevating balloons, al-
though the size of the balloon must be much larger than if
we employed pure hydrogen. The ordinary coal gas is bet-
ter adapted for elevating balloons than pure olefiant,gas,
which is only lighter than atmospheric air in the proportion
of 9 to 10, whilst coal gas is only as 6 or 7 to 10. Chlorine
and olefiant gas unite and form a yellow compound. When
the mixed gases are set fire to, the result is singular, as we
shall find that the chlorine will unite with the hydrogen,
and the carbon is completely separated. Olefiant gas pre-
sents a very singular property. When set fire to, it will
burn with remarkable brilliancy. It is one of those bo-
dies which gives the greatest quantity of heat. Where
it passes over a red hot surfaee, it is decomposed, and in
place of 4 carbon and 4 hydrogen, we have a new gas
generated which consists of 2 of carbon and 4 of hydrogen,
2 of the carbon being set free. The consequence of this is, that
if olefiant gas is passed through a red-hot tube, it will deposit
one-half of its carbon in the state of lamp black. In the flame
of olefiant gas there is separated a large quantity of carbon,
and it is this quantity of carbon upon which the luminous
properties of the flame depend. We can easily analyse
olefiant gas. If we lay wire gauze on the flame of the gas
lamp, the flame cannot pass through, but a great quantity of
black smoke passes through unconsumed, the wire gauze
preventing it from burning, by cooling the flame. When a
small quantity of gas is inflamed it burns blue, because it is
supplied with a large quantity of oxygen, and there is very
little solid matter to be inflamed. If we allow the flame a
larger *supply of gas, it will burn with a bright light, in con-
sequence of a sufficient quantity of carbon being evolved
and burned, but if the flame is supplied with gas beyond a
certain point, the gas-light will smoke, in consequence of
there not being a sufficient quantity of oxygen to supply the
flame.
In order to manufacture coal gas, coal is taken which
contains the greatest quantity of hydrogen. The coal which
is made use of in this theatre is the cannel coal, which is re-
markable for containing the largest quantity of hydrogen of
any coal with which we are acquainted. The manufacture of
the gas consists in heating coal in a series of iron retorts to
redness, the mouths of which are connected wills time gas-
meter by means of pipes. The retorts are capable of con-
taining from 6 to 7 cwt. of coal each. By this process we
get not only the luminous gas and carbonic oxide. but a quan-
tity of gas, containing only one half of the carbon, in conse-
quence of a portion of gas being decomposed by coming
into contact with the red hot sides of the retort. 'the proto-
carurbet of hydrogen thus formed is very light, and by ming-
ling with the luminous gas, renders it still lighter than it
otherwise would be, but, at the same time, less capable
of affording light. If we consider the circumstances un-
der which coal has been formed, we shall find that
wherever basalt or any rocks of an igneous character have
come into contact with coal, the same result has taken place
as that which we find in the retoit of the manufacturer, and
that a large quantity of coke has been formed. The conse-
quence of this is, that a large quantity of the proto-carburet
of hydrogen is set free, which is in fact the " fire damp" of
the miners. In order to shew the effect of the union of the
proto-carburet of hydrogen with oxygen, I have here a small
bladder, in which they are mixed in proper proportions, and
we shall find that upon coming into contact wi:h flame, the
explosion will be as violent as that of oxygen and hydrogen.
[The explosion was awfully violent, and shook the building
to the foundation.]—The result of this explosion is the for-
mation of carbonic acid and water. We can readily imagine
the destruction which results from the formation of such
mixtures in the galleries of mines. We owe to Davy one of
the most remarkable discoveries in science which has been
made, and likewise the most remarkable application of it to
the benefit of humanity. Davy discovered that flame cannot
pass through a metallic tissue, and consequently. though a
metallic tissue may explode on one side in a quantity of gas,
this inflammation cannot be made to pass through it. He
consequently proposed that the lamps of miners should be
completely surrounded with an impenetrable cylinder of
wire gauze, so that if the lamp, when properly arranged, was
carried into an inflammable mixture, we should find that
although the portion of the mixture in the cylinder should
be ignited by the flame of the lamp, yet in consequence of
the intervention of the gauze, the flame could not pass
through; and so the miner might walk through the most
explosive atmosphere in those galleries, without fear of an
explosion. These lamps, like every thing human, will not
in all cases answer their intention; fur when a current of air
passes along the galleries, the flame of the lamp is liable to
be urged against the gauze opposed to it, whereby the atmo-
sphere surrounding the lamp has exploded. It has been
proposed to guard against this by surrounding, the gauze
with a glass cylinder, so as to prevent the action of currents.
Coal is not by any means a pure substance. The majority
of vegetable substances contain nitrogen. The researches
of several continental philosophers have proved that the
proportion or nutrition in vegetable substances depends upon
the quantity of nitrogen which the substance contains, so
that in fact was agricultural chemistry better understood than
it is, upon any foreign substance being introduced it would
be only necessary to submit the separate parts of the plant to
analysis, to determine the quantity of nitrogen which they
contained, in order to discover the relation which they bear
to the plants of our own country. 'Phis I mention as one of
the best examples of the use of analytical chemistry in the
arts and manufactures. Coal contains a quantity of
azote, but not much, as it seldom exceeds 4 to 5 parts in 100,
but it is never less than 1 in 100. This azote causes a very
remarkable alteration of the way in which coal is decom-
posed, and we have two. new substances formed. Nitrogen
has a powerful affinity for hydrogen, and also for carbon. It
has also for oxygen, but at a high temperature this is over-
come. One portion of the nitrogeu unites with the hydrogen
and forms an alkali used in the arts, called ammonia, and time
remaining portion of it unites with the carbon, and forms a
substance which in a pure state is of no practical import-
ance, yet which forms some compounds of the greatest in-
terest. Thus by the introduction of nitrogen into coal, even
in small quantities. we have the formation of two substances,
ammonia and cyanogen. The destruction of coal now pro-
vides us with the ammonia of commerce • but before we were
latiorovided with this means, we used to obtain it by the distil-
n
of animal matters, and its salt was called salts of
hartshorn, and its solution spirits of hartshorn. The smell

acid and spirits of ammonia. When the Erne is put into
combination with sal ammoniac, the lime having a powerful
affinity for meriatic acid, unites with it, and the ammonia is
set free in the form of a colourless gas. Sogreat is its
affinity for water, that we cannotcollect it by that means, but
for the purposes of ordinary experiment we may collect it
under a tall bell glass, as in consequence of its levity it will
rise to the top and displace the air which the vessel contains.
Ammonia has only one-half of the specific gravity of coin-
," air. Ammonia is absorbed by water with great rapidity,
and the solution thus obtained is well known under the name
of water of ammonia. The bleaching of ammonia is fugitive,
whereas that of potash is permanent, for a few drops of acid
will instantly restore the colour which ammonia may have
discharged. If ammoniacal gas and inuriatic acid gas be
mixed together, a white powder ensues, which is sal ammoniac.
Sal ammoniac is prepared from the impure liquor which the
gas manufactures supply. The manufacturer of it adds to
gas liquor a quantity of muriatic acid,. and then evaporates
the mixture, and crystallizes the muriate of ammonia. By
re-dissolving and re-crystallizing it, be gets it nearly pure,
and muriate of ammonia being volatile, he sublimes it in
large iron vessels, and the result is, the fomation of perfectly
pure sal ammoniac. A product of the destructive distilla-
tion of coal which is of importance in several ways, is the
sulphuretted hydrogen. Almost all coal contains a quantity
of sulphuret of iron. There is consequently sulphuretted
hydrogen manufactured; and the greatest difficulty in the
manufacture
The presence of sulphuretted hydrogen is indicated by its
very disagreeable smell, resembling that caused by rotten
eggs. We can easily see, therefore, that if such a smell
accompanied coal gas into our apartments, they would be
rendered uninhabitable. Sulphuretted hydrogen arises from a
combination of sulphur with hydrogen. If we take-a solution
of copper, aneVadd to it a solution of this gas in water, we
get a dark-croloured precipitate. If we take a solution con-
taining quicksilver, and add to it a little of the solution of
sulphuretted hydrogen, we have again a dark coloured pre-
cipitate; in fact sulphuretted hydrogen is the most delicate
test for the presence of a metal which we possess. It is not
only used to detect the presence of any metal, but of a parti-
cular one; for if we take a little of the solution, and add to it
the metal antimony instead of a dark-coloured precipitate,
we obtain one of an orange colour, so that sulphuretted
hydrogen constitutes one of the most important tests we pos-
sess for indicating the presence of antimony. If we take the
animoniacal liquor of the gas works and add to it a little of
the Solution containing quicksilver we have a dark liquor

Next conies the " Police Establishment," to which we call
particular attention. Surely bolts and bars are now of very
little use in this populous borough, whilst the occupation of
'the locksmith must be entirely gone? Under this head there
appears, for salaries alone, £1,967 16s. 5d For fitting up
station-houses, £9,1 Is. 10d. For clothing, £377 Us. 10d. !
For bedsteads and bedding, £123 17s. For "equip-
ments"—viz , truncheons, handcuffs, rattles, armlets, lan-
terns, straps, &c. &r., £76 18s. 6d. For gas-lights for sta-
tion-houses, £27 10s. 9d. For coals for station-houses, £23
2s. 84., and for sundry disbursements under this magnificent
police head, £lB 6s. Od. more, making a grand total of ex-
penditure for police of £2,759 765. Bd.!
Why our intelligent governors could for one moment think
of withholding these important particulars from the know-
ledge of every man, however humble, in the borough, we
cannot even imagine. And particularly as they are a " march
of intellect" corporation. Great sticklers also " for the
spread of knowledge amongst the people." But perhaps the
"knowledge of how the hard earnings of the industrious rate
payers have been expended is not of equal value in the eyes
of whiggery with that sort of knowledge promulgated in the
"Penny Magazine" and other "march of intellect" publi-
cations, wherein the "knowledge" how to abuse the tories is
there shown to be the highest possible attainment, and how
to glorify the whigs is also taught to be the greatest virtue
under heaven.

CIVILIZED AND SAVAGE LIFE.—To give you entire satis-
faction I must, 1 perceive, enter into the discussion of a sub-
ject on which I have often thought. My thoughts were my
own, and being so different from the ideas entertained among
your people, I should certainly have carried theui with me to
the grave, had 1 not received your obliging favour. You ask
me, then, whether in my opinion civilization is favourable to
human happiness? . In answer to the question, it may be an-
swered, that there are degrees of civilization, from Cannibals
to the most polite of EDI opean nations. The question Is not,
then, whether a degree of refinement-is not conducive to hap-
piness; but whether you, Or the natives of this land, have ob-
tained this happy medium. On this subject we are at present,
1 presume, of very different opinions. You will, however,
allow use in souse respects to have had the advantage of you
in forming my sentiments. I was, Sir, born of Indian parents,
and lived while a child among those whom you are pleased
to call savages; I was afterwards sent to live among the
white people, •and educated at one of your schools; since
which period I have been honoured much beyond my deserts,
by an acquaintance with a number of principal characters
both in Europe and America. After all this experience, and
after every exertion to divest myself of prejudice, I am-obliged
to give my opinion in favour of my own people. I will now,
as much as I ant able, collect together, and set before you,
some of the reasons that have influenced my judgment on
the subject now before us. In the government you call civi-
lized, the happiness of the people is constantly sacrificed to
the, splendour of the empire. Hence your codes of criminal
and-civil laws have hail their origin ; hence your dungeons
and prisons. I will not enlarge on an idea so singular in ci-
vilized life, and perhaps disagreeable to you, and will only
observe, that among us we have 710 prisons ; we have no pom-
pous parade of courts; we have no written laws; and yet
judges are as.highly revered amongst us as they are among
von, and their decisions are as much regarded. Property, to
say the least, is as well guarded, and Crimes are as imparti-
ally punished. We have among us no splendid villains above
the control of our laws. Daring wickedness is here never suf-
fered to triumph over helpless innocence. The estates of
widows and orphans are never devoured by enterprising
sharpers. In a word, we have no robbery under the colour
of law. No person among us desires any other reward for
performing a brave and worthy action, but the consciousness
of having served his nation. Our wise men are called Fa-
thers; they truly sustaiu that character. They are always
accessible, I will not say to the meanest of our people, for we
have none mean but such as render themselves so y their
vices. The palaces and prisons among you form a most dread-
ful contrast. Go to the former places, and you will see per-
haps a deformed piece unearth assuming airs that become none
but the Great Spirit above. Go to one of your prisons; here
description utterly fails ! Kill them, if you please; kill them,
too, by
tortures; but let the torture last no longer than a day.
Those you call savages, relent; the most furious of our tor-
'mentors exhausts his rage in a few hours, and dispatches his
unhappy victim with a sudden stroke. Perhaps it is eligible
that incorrigible offenders should sometimes be cut off. Let
it be done in a way that is not degrading to human nature.
Let such unhappy men have art opportunity, by their forti-
tude, of making an atonement in some measure for the crimes
they have committed during their lives. But for what are
many of your prisdners confined?—for debt!—astonishing !
and will you ever again call the Indian nations cruel? Li-
berty, to a rational creature, as much exceeds property as the
-Li4.44,4.-4-6.14-wkia-cl.oerilkst-of the moot-twinkling- star,--Unt von
put them on a level, to the everlasting disgrace of civilization.
I knew, while I lived among the white people, many of the
most amiable contract debts, and I dare say with the best in-
tentione: Both parties at the time of the contract expect to
find their advantage. The debtor, we will suppose, by a train
of unavoidable misfortunes, fails; here is no crime, nor even
a fault; -and yet your laws put it in the power of the creditor
to throw the debtor into prison and confine him there for life !
a punishment infinitely worse than death to a brave man !
And I seriously declare, I had rather die by the roost severe
tortures ever inflicted on this continent, than languish in one
of your prisons for a single year. Great Spirit of the Uni-
verse!—andyou call yourselves Christians? • Does then

religionwhom you call your Saviour, inspire this
nd of ii
leaddo tol these practices? Surely no. It is recorded
of him, that a bruised reed he never broke. Cease, then, to
call yourselves Christians, lest you publish .to the world your
hypocrisy., Cease, too, to call other nations savage, when you
are tenfold more the children of cruelty than they.—Life of

Since this day se'nnight we have had a little increase in the im-
ports of Irish Wheat, Oats, and Oatmeal, but those of Flour have
still been very light. Several parcels of Wheat have also appeared
coastwise. The foreign arrivals consist of upwards of 20,600 quar-
ters of Wheat, 1,600 quarters of Oats, and 7,000 barrels of Flour.
Some portion of the Wheat and Flour has been released at the duty
of 16s. Bd. per Quarter. In the early part of the week there was
little passing in Wheat of any description, but, at yesterday's mar-
ket, the trade for old again assumed a firmer appearance, and a
tolerably fair business was done, ut fully Tuesday's rates :—Ps. 9d.
to Ids. for good runs of foreign red, up to 10s. 6d. to los. 9d. per
701bs. for choice Dantzie. New Wheat has met: a very dull sale ;
latterly, Irish has been offering at Bs. 3d. to 9s. hl. per 701b5., and
several Parcels remain over.—There has not been much done in
Oats, Irish new have brought 3s. 10. to 3i. 3d. per 45Ihs. and old
are worth similar rates. With only a moderate demand, Flour
must be noted Is. per pack. and Oatmeal fully as much per load
cheaper : 50s. to 565. per 28011 m, are the current quotations for
Irish Flour; 265. to 275. for old, and 275. 6d. to 28s. per 2401h5. for
new Meal—One or two small lots of English new Barley have ap-
peared ; a little fine Norfolk has sold at 40s. per quarter.—No

Our readers are pretty well aware that we are by nomeans
admirers of what is called "free trade ;" but in which we
only can recognise a one-sided freedom. Nevertheless, on
this occasion, we must make " free" with the corporation's
sixpenny publication, and offer the whole of it to our readers
at our usual charge of fourpence-halfpenuy ; which, after
abstracting other most interesting intelligence, will at any
rate realise to the purchaser the small profit of twenty-five-
per cent. So much for the dishonest attempt to smother, how
the rates are expended, and the blessing of having a " whig
municipal corporation."
