We have heard that at the present moment Lord Broughant
has no intention of visiting Scotland this year, and- we.he

dine with those who call themselves, on the present ocea-
sion, " the Radicals of Glasgow."—Scotsman.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MO.NDAY, AL-9. W.--
The market has been but thinly attended to-clay; and busi-
ness rather more languid. The low and middlinrquhlitiee
of flannels were the goods chiefly inquired after4-while finer
descriptions have met with a heavy sale. The're is no Chaiige
in the priers either of wool or flannels to-clay. ,r

Our fair equestrians, whom her Majesty's dailf•eittirrple
has so much increased- in number, will perhaps be :interested
in learning that her Majesty avails herself of a newly,dis-
covered cloth, which, while it is impervious-to I rain, idlOws
the escape of that perspiration which-is theneccessary effect
of all,healthy exercise.—Observer.
IRON STEAMERS.—The iron steam-vessel, Toador, his, we
understand, arrived at Pernambuco after a passage of actual
steaming of only four and a half days from Maranharn.
Sailing vessels are generally, we believe, twenty to thirty
days .making this passage, and a fait-sailing 'vessel` atrivea
at 'Pernambuco. two days before the Vnador,.that had.heen
forty-five days on the voyage from Maranham. This proves
the great advantage to be derived from theintrotfuCfibri of
steam-vessels on a coast where, the current.and ,vitatiVevail
so as to prevent sailing vessels accomplishing their passage
in a reasonable time, and Must' shortly lead tp-theirdolition
of steam-vessels both on ,the east, and.,west ,cuast uf, out
America.

VENTILATION AND LIGHTING OF THEIIOUSE OF COMMONS
—A return of the expenses incurred by the recent experi-
ments in ventilating and lighting the 71-lousellof Cominoto
bas just been printed, from' which it appears the ventilating
and warming experiments cost £6545- 9s, experi-
ment in lighting with gas cost £lOl3 17s. JOO., and the cart'
die lighting experiments amounted to. £514 iBS. Bd. The,
improved mode of lighting by candles, which was. continue°,
to the end of the session, causes an increased. expense o'
£2 15s. lid. per night, the number of candles employed be;
ing 276, whilst in the old plan, of 'lighting the titimlik used
pet...night was 150. The amount paid to Dr. Reid; for.his at'
tendance and expenses, including a gratuity of £50(1 for the
application of his system of• vent-Retied 'anificenstics,
£1012155.
