Althorp's liberal sire, the Earl Spencer, is the Lay Impro-
priator of the Manor of Wimbledon, held on lease, under the
Dean and Chapter of Worcester, at a very low rental. Now,
there are three parish churches in the manor, namely, Putney,
Wimbledon, and Mortlake—besides chapels; and although, as
we are informed, Earl Spencer derives nearly £5OOO per annum
from the tithes, &c. of the manor of Wimbledon, will it be cre-
dited that this modern church reformer—this cess and ;vestry
abolitionist—meanly allows to the three perpetual curates (there
are no vicars) only L,IO a year each—leaving a balance in
favour of the lay impropriator of about £4BBO per 'annum i Let
my Lord Althorp answer this if he can.

NEW LANTERNS FOR SKIPS.—Captain de Coninct, of the
Danish navy, has invented a new kinj of signal-lantern, found
to be of reat utility in the navy, the light of which is much
more brilliant than that at present in use. It is obtained on
the argand principle, without the use of glass, by conveying
a current of air through the lantern. The lamp will contain
sufficient oil to last several hours, and, by the construction of
the lantern, not to be liable to the effects of bad weather. It
is said to have been tried with complete success in a gale of
wind. The above officer has also applied the same principles
to the construction of deck lanterns, eight or ten of which,
when placed midships, are sufficient to give light to the guns
on deck of the largest man of war. The light is so well
secured from external effects, that it withstands the coneusssion
produced by the firing of guns, which so frequently extinguishes
the light of the common lanterns. The efficacy of this inven-
tion has been put to a severe test on board two Danish frigates.
For this purpose the lantern was suspended from the muzzle
of-the gun, which was fired with the lantern in that position,
A common laqtern placed by the gun was immediately ex-
tinguished by the concussion of the first discharge, while
the new lantern remained steady during 14 successive dis-
charges, when it was extinguished by the united effect of the
concussion and the great vibratory motion it obtained.--Re-
pertory of Patents.
