CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST A SCHOOLMASTER.—
Evan Claytor, a schoolmaster at Liscard, was charged, at
the petty sessions there, with cruelly beating one of his pu-
pils, a little boy, son of Mr. Leicester, butcher, at ;:eacombe.
From the statement of Mr. Ellis, surgeon, and the appear-
ance of the boy, it appeased that he had been very severely
beaten with a cane, and had had a narrow escape of being
lamed for life. The magistrates, after expressing their opi-
nion that the conviction of the defendant would materially
injure the defendant in his profession, and therefore it was

not necessary to inflict :1 heavy penalty, .ordered him to pay
a fine of 10s., the expenses of the medical attendant 155.,

THE \% st.vrn E tt.—The weather has now undergone a most
beneficial change, and we entertain the hope that it is at lengt h
decidedly settled. Aithu' up to Tuesday fires had been used
by most persons in their sitting rooms, we are glad to say
that they are now generally discontinued ; indeed yesterday
and on Wednesday the sun shone brilliantly, and the two
days possessed all the characteristics of midsummer. We
perceive, however, that the weather is very different in the
south ; in London, on Tuesday the rain poured down in tor-
rents the whole day, and Wednesday according to the me-
tropolitan papers was a cold, damp, " sloppy" day. The
weather has, however, undergone generally throughout the
country a "blessed and seasonable" change.

the election of a representative for
this ward in the Town Council took place on Tuesday,before
the alderman (Mr. Turner) and the two assessors of the ward,
at the Horse and Jockey Tavern, Seel-street. The polling •
booth opened exactly at 9 o'clock, and a few minutes after-
wards, Mr. John Smith (the late member for West Derby
Ward) tendered the first vote for Mr.. John Stewart, the
gentleman put in nomination by the Conservatives. Several
other votes were afterwards received, but no other candidate
was proposed. At twenty minutes past ten o'clock, no vote
having been tendered for an hour, the alderman declared the
election closed, and that Mr. Stewart had been duly returned.

MR. ADDAMS'S LECTURES AT THE COLLEGIATE INsTr-
rrloN.—On Tuesday evening, Mr. Addams delivered, at

the theatre of the institution, the, concluding lecture of his
series of seven, on voltaic and magnetic electricity, before a
highly-gratified audience, amongst ►which were many ladies.
He commenced by stating, that he had now to submit an
interesting portion of his subject, namely, Thermo-tnagnetic
Electricity, which implied that heat had an influence in pro-
ducing electric currents; and thence he would deduce the
fact that currents of electricity must be passing over the
earth itself from east to west—the sun being a primary cause,
anti the motion of the earth another—and these currents

The magnetism of

a bar of steel was effectually destroyed by submitting it to a
red heat, as in that state it lost its power of maintaining the
order of electric currents, and this alone proved that heat
prevailed over electricity. Air. Barlow and others had com-
pared the influence of heat upon the magnetic condition of
various kinds of iron, and found this fact. The magnetic

iron, was very different. Cold beaten iron posses

at its maximum when the iron had cook(

heat in directing electricity in metals, he produced a small
quadrangle or square, resembling a picture-frame, two of the
opposite sides of which were of bismuth and the two others
of antimony, mitred together and soldered at the corners.
The electricity in either metal had no particular direc-

tion. But by heating one of the metals at one of the
corners or joints, and leaving the. rest in a cold state,
the electricity began to circulate. He placed a small and

delicate magnetic needle within the frame, and applying
the flame of a small lamp under one of the joints, the electric
current passed from the bismuth into the copper, and moved
the needle round in one direction : hut when he heated the
opposite corner (of the other metal) the effect was reversed,
and it turned in the opposite direction. So long

tempreature of the joint was greater than the reet of the
metal, there would* be a current of electricity: When the
frame contained a number of elements the power would be
increased, but there was a limit to this, for if they were in-
creased in proportionate size to the frame, nothing was
gamed. The same effect was shown by a great nuinner of
metals, and tables of them, in the order in which they stood
as conductors of electricity (as we understood him), bad
been arranged. Be called attention to these, the first of
which was in the following order:—bismuth, platinum, tin,
lead, brass, copper, zinc, iron, antimony. Electricity set
out from the bismoth down. The copper was here the
recipient from the bismuth, and the deliverer of it back. He
then showed a very beautiful thermo-electric experiment, by
means of a very small but sensitive instrument, which, fin
being but breathed upon at one end, had, through two pieces
of copper wire, so great an effect upon a fine magnetic
needle within a glass case that it drew it in a different direc-
tion, and when slightly heated in a like manner at the other
end produced a reverse motion. By thus beating a piece of
metal more in one place than another a sort of telegraph
could be made, or it !night be indicated

the one metal communicating with the other at the ends by.
copper wires. After showing some further experiments, he
explained voltaic electric induction or the effects of currents
of electricity coming against eacli other. Metals had an
electric effect if moved to and fro, or in any direction. He
showed that by putting a small plate of zinc and another of

copper into acid and water, and applyins: them to a fine magnet,
the direct km of the electric current could be ascertained. One

a nmenet placed on each side, but rof touching it. If the wheel
be placed with its axis east and west, and turned round, the
earth's magnetism will act upon it, and occasion currents of
electricity to run from the circumferences into the axis, and
vice versa according as it is rotated, one way or the other, as
was manifested by the galvanometer. This was an import-
ant experiment, for the wheel being of matter riot ordinarily
magnetized it might he considered an epitome of the rotation
of the earth itself. B

tricky came out of its equator, and entered its poles. By
ey turning it as the earth turns the elec-
tricity
it in the contrary direction, that is from east to
wes
the electricity would come out. of the axis of the wheel andt
enter the equator. Here the current of electricity was very
rreat in quantity, as he would show by another similar appa-
ratus, used in a difFerent mode. He took a circular copper-
plate, placed on a vertical axis, and which might be turned
round by a wheel connected with it. All iron was avoided in
its construction. Ile suspended a bar of iron about an inch
over the wheel, by a thread and a little stirrup of paper, and
the wheel being rapidly turned the magnet also turned round
rapidly, in either direction, though not touching. it ; but a
bar of iron, not magnetized, placed in the same position, re-
mained quiescent, however quickly the wheel was turned.
He next showed a magnet revolving on its own axis, and
afterwards the extraordinary, but only momentary, electric
effect of suddenly thrusting a bar magnet into a wooden cylin, der, wrapped round with a coil of copper wire, and communi-
cating by wires with a fine needle. The instant it was put in
with the poles in one direction the needle moved round, and
when put in on the other it moved in the opposite direction.
This apppeared to be caused by an instantaneous wave or
shock, which as instantly died away. The lecturer then
showed some beautiful experiments with a magneto-electric
machine, working with a wheel, the construction and action
of which he fully explained. It was, however, ton complex
(in large magnets, &c.) to be described here. By this a con-
tinuity of electric sparks was kept up, similar to those pro.
duced by an electrical machine, and capable of giving electric
shocks, sufficiently powerful even for those of mother strong
nerves. By this he ignited paper dipped in spirits of wine,
and other combustibles, and also warmed wire to a visibly
red heat. It showed, too, the influence, by means of
coils of wire one within the other, of one current of electri-
city upon another, and the wonderful effect (demonstrated by
the sparks) of making and breaking their conduction. 'He
also decomposed water by the apparatus. Towards the close
he adverted to the various sources from which we might ad.
duce the magnetism of the earth and its
motion, one-half
heated ata time, and the other not; the minor influence of light
upon it ; its stratification and components of rocks, granite,
slate, and the water lodged in its cavities, operating as plates
of a voltaic pile, and so producing electricity. It was be. sides to be observed that the veins of metal found in this
country run from east to west, and that was the direction in
which the currents of electricity themselves went round the
globe. These things would have a tendency to move the
earth on its axis, and there was reason therefore to believe
that electricity was one of those mighty agencies, fundamen-
tally beyond human comprehension, by which the Divine
Architect regulated the revolving world of matter, the motion
of which being made upon its axis ceeal he perpetuated even
though it had to pass through a reef-tiny medium. He had
now brought the subject to a close, and included every im-
portant illustration available within the limits of these lec-
tures, and thereby redeemed the promise be had made in the
outset. He cordially thanked his auditors for the marked
attention with which they had listened to his instructions,
and the kind feeling manifested throughout amongst them.
And he could not retire without expressing the great plea-
sure he had felt in addressing so highly respectable a body in
that magnificent institution, and the gratification he should
feel, if they, on a future occasion, required his services in ex-
plaining that branch of science to which he had addressed
himself.—He was loudly applauded in his several interesting
experiments, and was repeatedly cheered front all parts of

agreeable hour or two than in attending to such expositions
and illustrations, which blend solidiliformation with amuse-
