LIVERPOOL YOUNG MEN'S CH
—The Rev. Dr. Baylee's second and third lectures on
" The Inspiration of the Bible," were delivered in the
Hope-hall, Hope-street, on Tuesday and Friday last.
They were very fully attended, and have made a deep
impression.
THE PHYSICO-MATHEMATICAL PAPER of our towns-
man, Mr. Matthew Collins, 8.A., "On the Attraction of
Ellipsoids. Geometrically Considered," has been read before
the Royal Society of London, and judged by that society
worthy of publication in their proceedings, whence an
abstract of it has been copied into the London, Edin-
burgh, and Dublin Philosophical Magazine, for this
present month of September.

A NEW COPPER-FIELD has been discovered at the Cape
of Good Hope, in Namaqualand, which promises to equal
the famous mines of South Australia. Several companies
have been already formed to work them, and Mr. D. Pas
has been sent to England for the purpose of obtaining the
machinery required. The whole district appears to be one
mass of copper. . _

DOUBLE-BARREL CA.NNON.—A letter from Berlin, 27th
ult., says :—" The problem of a double-barrel cannon has
just been solved here. One has been constructed, the bar-
rels of which are united at the breech, but are at the same
time moveable, so that they can be pointed in different
directions. They are loaded at the breach. The ordinary
carriages will serve for this new gun with but very slight
modification."

SWITZERLAND.--The affluence of strangers resembles,
we are told, the ancient migrations of nations. At every
step one meets with Englishmen, Americans, and Italians,
besides Frenchmen and Germans without number, The
baths of Baden, a small place in the canton of Argovie,
numbers now nearly G,OOO visitors. His Imperial High-
ness the Prince Peter of Oldenburg, the nephew of Nicholas,
and President of the Senate, passed there on the 21st ult.,
bound homewards.

THE ROYAL DANISH RAILWAY has been completed, and
a direct communication is thus to be opened for passengers
and merchandise from the North Sea to the Baltic. An
experimental trip was made on the 21st ult., and the
official inauguration of the line is expected to take place in
the course of a few weeks. Travellers leaving London on
Saturday evening will then be enabled to breakfast at
Flensburg, a Baltic port, on Monday morning.
THE SPANISH REPITGEES.—Among the passengers by
the Peninsular Mail steamer, Madrid, which arrived at
Southampton on Saturday week, were the sons and
daughters of the duke of Rianzares (Munoz) and Queen
Christina, the Queen-Mother of Spain. They embarked
on board the Madrid at Lisbon incognito. The daughters
are three in number, and grown up ; the sons are two in
number, and are mere boys. They travelled as the children
of a gentleman named Eugene de Oehoas, who was on
board with them, and whom they addressed as papa.
POLYGAMY is introducing a new style of building at
Salt Lake City. A man with half-a-dozen wives builds, if
he can, a long, low building, having six entrances from the
outside ; and when he takes in a new wife, if able to do so,
adds another apartment. The object is to keep the women
and babies as much as possible apart, and prevent those
terrible catfights which sometimes occur, with all the ac-
companiments of Billingsgate, torn caps, and broken broom-
sticks. As the " divine institution" extends, these build-
ings increase, and in a few years the city will look like a
collection of barracks for the accommodation of soldiers.—

PRINTERS' ERRORS.-1

Examiner printers having
amusing misprint in a leader, of "casks" for

that his Majesty George the Fourth had a fit of the goat

brated divine on the Immorality of the Soul, and also the
Lies of the Poets, which should be a very comprehensive
publication. The vicinity of lives and lies is indeed most
dangerous, a single letter more or less making a lie of a
life, or a life of a lie. Glory, too, is liable to the same mis-
chance, the dropping of the liquid making it all gory.

IMPROVEMENT IN TRE MA.NTIFACTIIRE OF IRON AND
;lETALS.-Our attention has, within the last few
a directed to what promises to be of considerable
advantage to our ironfounders, engineers, metal makers,
and glass manufacturers. The improvement we allude to
consists in the application of a new flux, in a liquid form,
to the melted metal in the furnace or cupola, the effect of
which appears to be the more complete purification of the
metal, by removal of the dross, and a consequent increase
of strength in the metal operated upon. As a proof of
this we have examined testimonials received by the
inventor, Mr. B. L. Phillips, of Kennington-lane, London,
from two of the leading engineering establishments of the
town and district, which show that in iron, by the use of
the new flux, a great additional strength is imparted to
the metal; and that this is not an assumption we have
reason to believe, from the demonstrations given upon
paper, signed and attested by gentlemen, whose standing
in their trades and professions, and veracity, we have no
reason to doubt. The tests were those of deflexion and
fracture by active means, in both of which the extra
resistance w 9 ° nrr

as greater than on the same iron cast
without the use of th new flux. A great improvement
in glass, in its crystalline and cohesive properties, is said
to result from the use of the same material, and this on
the authority of one of the largest glass manufacturers in
the town.—Birmingkanz Journal.

GAMBLING ON RAILWAYS.—A London solicitor was
travelling the other day between Edinburgh and Glasgow,
when he was joined at or about the Falkirk station by
three gentlemanly-looking men, who, by-and-by, produced
three cards, and induced the solicitor to take part in the
game. In a very short period he had lost or was done out
of £l2. He had ample cause, therefore, to suspect the
real character of the persons by whom he had so foolishly
been drawn into play, and as they were about to leave at
the Campsie junction he gave information to the guard,
when they were brought back to the train, and hailed
over to the police on their arrival in Glasgow, to whom
they were perfectly well known as fellows who frequent
the railways for gambling purposes, if not something
worse. The act of gambling was not denied, but it was
alleged that the money was fairly won ; and, under the
circumstances, the three fellows were handed over to the
procurator fiscal of Falkirk, within whose bounds the case
had occurred. The fiscal, however, after investigating the
case, was of opinion that there was not sufficient legal
proof to convict them of swindling, and they were accord-
ingly dismissed. When the gamblers were about to de-
mand the £l2 which had been lost by the London solici-
tor, and which, meanwhile, had been retained by the
Glasgow police, they found that Mr. Begg, the minister
at Falkirk, had raised an action before the sheriff, con-
cluding, under an old Scotch act of parliament, for the
half of the money thus won by gambling for behoof of the
poor of the parish. Meanwhile the minister had arrested
the money in the hands of Captain Stuart, the superin-
tendent of our police. The act founded on is, we believe,
that of 1621, c. 14, and it is quite explicit in providing
that where money changes hands by gambling to the
amount of 40s. and upwards, the half of it, on being sued
for, shall be recovered for the poor of the parish in which
the gambling has taken place.—Glasyow Herald.
THE RUSSIAN PILISONERS.—It may be a subject
deserving of consideration on the part of the government,
whether the Russian seamen, who have arrived in England
as prisoners, may not be allowed to enter into the mer-
chant service of the country. It is our opinion that
permission might be safely and advantageously given,
particularly at a time like the present, when it is found
difficult to get seamen to man our ships. Under recent
legislation, Russians, as well as other foreigners, are eligi-
ble to serve in the British merchant navy, and, were we
not at war with Russia, they would not be rejectad by
reason of their nationality. Ought it, therefore, to prove
an objection to them now ? It is probable that among
the Russian prisoners there may be few seafaring men,
and that but a small portion of them are native-born
Russians. We suspect it will be found that they are for
the most part Finlanders, or that they belong to other
countries which have been brought under the Russian
dominion. A great deal of the trade of Russia is carried
on by the ships of Finland and Norway, and even the
ships which sail under the Russian, flag are seldom manned
by native Russians, who have no great inclination to
engage in maritime pursuits. The Finlanders, on the
contrary, are for the most part good seamen, and would,
we think, be Abund very eligible men for ow: merchant
navy.-840pin# ark 4 Ziercantiig Wettoi

AN OLD FOLKS' TEA PARTY.--A venerable matron
of North Adams, 93 years of age, gave an old folks' tea
party-a few days since, and among the guests who were
present were four ladies of the respective ages of 86, 82,
80, 70, and three gentlemen of 85, 80, and 73—making
the united ages of the eight persons (including the hostess)
649 years, an average of 81. Six of these persons own
farms on which they reside, all in one neighbourhood of
less than a mile square, and have been residents of the
town over 50 years.—Boston Traveller.
A HORSE KILLED BY WASPS.—Last week, a valuable
pony, belonging to F. U. Pattisson, Esq., of Chelmsford,
came by its death from the stings of wasps. The pony
was grazing in a field on Mr. Pattisson's farm, when, in
its wanderings, it came in contact with a nest of wasps,
which fastened upon and so severely stung the poor animal,
that death ensued two days afterwards.—Essex Herald.

SITTINGS OF THE HOUSE of COMMONS.—A parlia-
mentary return states that the House of Commons during
the last session sat on 127 days, and that the total dura-
tion of the sittings of the house was 997 hours 16 minutes.
Of this time 911 hours were after midnight. The number
of entries on the votes was 8,857, and the average length
of each sitting was 7 hours 51 minutes 8 seconds.

THE GUNS OF THE TIGER.--A letter dated Vienna,
Sept. 3, says :—" The two Paixhan guns taken from the
Tiger were tried on the 24th of August, at Odessa, in the
presence of the General Governor Annenkoff. At the
fourth shot one of the guns burst, killed one cannoneer,
and wounded several others. Fortunately the pieces of
metal did not take a horizontal direction, or many lives
must have been lost, as there was a great crowd as-
sembled."
RAILWAY PASSENGERS' ASSURANCE COMPANY.—There
was a meeting on Wednesday of this company, at which
the report stated that the receipts of the half-year and
previous balance amounted to £7,627 17s. 4d., and the
disbursements, including a 'sum of £1,802 for compensa-
tion in cases of accident, to £4,769, leaving a balance in
hand of £3,733 Bs. 4d., from which the directors recom-
mend the payment of a half-yearly dividend at the rate of

A YOUNG MISCHIEF MAKEB.—A few days since the
electric telegraph communication from I

inore to

burg was suddenly stopped. On investigation it was
found that the earth which covered the wires had been
dug up in a certain spot and the wires cut, and it was
soon afterwards discovered that the author of the mischief
was a little boy, 12 years of age, who resided in the village
of Apenrade, near which place the line passed. He was
arrested and brought before the Correctional Tribunal,
by which he was sentenced to be whipped three times,
and to receive in all 45 lashes.
SITTINGS OF THE SUPERIOR COURTS.—By the Com-
mon Law Procedure Act an important alteration can be
effected in the sittings of the superior courts after the
present vacation. It is enacted that any one of the judges,
at the request of the Lord Chief Justice or Lord Chief
Baron, may try the causes entered for trial at nisi Arius
in Westminster or London, in either of the courts, on the
same days on which the said Lord Chief Justice or Lord
Chief Baron, or any other judge of the same court, shall
be sitting to try causes at those places respectively, or at
„. . .

either of them, so that the trial of two causes may be pro-
ceeded with at the same time. This provision will mate-
rially lessen the delay of causes and the great expense of
keeping witnesses in attendance for several days.

COMPARISON OF DISPUTED WRITING.-A new feature
is introduced in the New Common Law Procedure Act
with respect to disputed handwriting. It is provided by
the 27th section, that comparison of a disputed writing
with any writing proved to the satisfaction of the judge
to be genuine shall be permitted to be made by witnesses,
and such writings, and the evidence of witnesses respect-
ing the same, may be submitted to the court and jury
as evidence of the genuineness or otherwise of the writing
in dispute.

A NEW SUBSTITUTE FOR THE POTATO.—III the garden
of the Horticultural Society at Chiswick are growing two
plants of a Chinese yam, which is expected to prove an ex-
cellent substitute for the potato. They have been ob-
tained from the Jardin des Plantes at Paris, where they
have been made the subject of experiments that leave no
doubt that it will become a plant of real importance in
cultivation. "If," says M. Decaisne, who has paid much
attention to matters of this kind, " a new plant has a
chance of becoming useful in rural economy, it must fulfil
certain conditions, in the absence of which its cultivation
cannot be profitable. In the first place, it must have been
domesticated in some measure, and must suit the climate ;
moreover, it must in a few months go through all the
stages of development, so as not to interfere with the
ordinary and regular course of cropping; and, finally, its
produce must have a market value in one form or another.
If the plant is intended for the food of man, it is also indis-
pensable that it shall not offend the tastes or the culinary
habits of the persons among whom it is introduced. To
this may be added that almost all the old perennial plants
of the kitchen garden have been abandoned in favour of
annuals, wherever the latter could be found with similar
properties. Thus, lathyrus tuberosus,sedunz telephium,
&c., have given way before potatoes, spinach, and the like.
Now, the Chinese yam satisfies every one of these condi-
tions, It has been domesticated from time immemorial,
it is perfectly hardy in this climate (Paris), its root is
bulky, rich in nutritive matter, eatable when raw, easily
cooked. either by boiling or roasting, and then having no
other taste than that of flour (fe'cide). It is as much a
ready-made bread as the potato, and it is better than the
batatas, or sweet potato. Horticulturists should, there-
fore, provide themselves with the new arrival, and try ex-
periments with it in the different climates and soils of
France. If they bring to their task, which is of great
public importance, the requisite amount of perseverance
and intelligence, I have a firm belief that the potato yam
(igname batatas) will, like its predecessor the potato,
make many a fortune, and more especially alleviate the
distress of the lower classes of the people." Such is M.
Decaisne's account of this new food-plant, which is now in
actual cultivation at Chiswick ; and, judging from the
size of the set from which one of the plants had sprung,
it is evident that the tubers have all the requisites for pro-
fitable cultivation. One has been planted under glass, the
other in the open air, and at present both appear to be
thriving equally well. The species has been called dios-
corea tatas, or the potato yam. It is a climbing plant,
bearing considerable resemblance to our common black
bryony, and, when it is considered how nearly that plant
is related to the yams, the probability of our new corner
becoming naturalised among us receives support. Whe-
ther, however, it realises all that the French say of it or
not, trial of it in this country cannot prove otherwise
than interesting and worthy of the society which has had
the honour of introducing it.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT SHOEBITRYNESS.—On Monday
last week, while Captain Oldfield's company, and the
detachments of Royal Artillery, stationed at Shoeburyness,
were practising with four large guns—one 10-inch gun,
9 feet 4 inches long, of 85 cwt., and one 8-inch gun, 8 feet
long, of 62 cwt., with sphdical shot at targets, the one at
800 yards range and the other at 1,600 yards range, and
with one of Lancaster's 68-pounder oval guns, 9 feet long
and weighing 95 cwt., and one 56-pounder gun, 11 feet
long, weighing 98 cwt.—the latter burst in the act of
firing at 2,800 yards, the object against which both it and
Lancaster's gun were fired with spherical shot being a
flag-staff at that range. The whole of the gunners who
manned the 56-pounder gun escaped unhurt, with the
exception of a slight abrasure on the back of the hand of
one of them ; but a fatal accident took place on the
adjoining platform. The largest piece of the breach of the
burst gun, upwards of a ton in weight, proceeding to the
right, broke down the brickwork in front, and, sweeping
along the platform, jammed Colour-Sergeant Rose between
it and the front elevation, tearing his flesh and breaking
both his thighs, and causing such other injuries that he
died within an hour after the accident took place. The
same mass of metal of the breach, in its progress, struck
Repository-Sergeant Lea, breaking both his thighs, and
inflicting such other injuries, that he died the same after-
noon, after both thighs had been amputated. Pay Com-
pany-Sergeant Williams was also struck by the same
piece of the breach, and had one of his thighs broken,
which was shortly after amputated, and it was hoped he
would recover; but it was found that his left arm was
shattered, and he died shortly afterwards. Capt. Bullock,
R.N., with a party of ladies, and a number of the sea
bathing parties from Southend, were stationed about 30
yards from the spot where the gun burst, to witness the
practice; all escaped without the slightest injury, although
pieces of the gun-carriage, which was torn into a great
number of fragments, and the bolts, screws, and nuts
which held it together, with the displaced bricks, were
thrown with great force in all directions. Two gunners
doing duty at the other guns were hurt, but able to walk
to their barracks, the one having sustained a cut in the
forehead and a severe blow on the cap of the knee, which
made it bleed. All the injury done was on the right side
of the gun. The other half of the breach was broken into
two parts, which were projected to a considerable height.
ESTRANGE CIRCUMSTANCE. _A singular circumstance
occurred several weeks ago in New York, which has thrown
a woman and her family of fine children, and a large circle
of friends, into the greatest excitement. The particulars
are as follows :—Mr. James Christie, tailor, Montrose,
emigrated some years ago to America, where he succeeded
pretty well for a considerable period; after which he sent
home word to his wife (who, with her children, were still
resident at Montrose,) to leave this country for the land
of his adoption. Accordingly, at his request, she imme-
diately set sail, and arrived in safety at her destination in
due time. After rejoining her husband they both travelled
together a good deal, residing now in one place and then
in another, unsettled as to the exact locality where they
might permanently take up their abode. They continued
in this way for some time, when all at once Christie was
seized with what in America is termed the " home sick-
ness," and he determined, consequently, to visit once
more the land of his fathers. Preparations were made
for the journey to New York : and after arriving in that
city passages were secured on board a vessel bound for
Liverpool. The luggage was all stowed away on board,
and everything arranged to the entire satisfaction of all
concerned, Christie remarking to his wife that all was now
right excepting a small quantity of rum, which could
easily be procured on the morrow. The day after making
this observation he left his family, intending to visit the
New York Exhibition before leaving the country, and
since then no trace of him has been found. During the
four days that elapsed between that time and the day of
sailing his wife caused him to be advertised and placarded,
but all was unavailing. Mrs. Christie, however, along
with her family, came with the vessel to Liverpool, arriving
in Montrose on Saturday
afternoon last, children and
luggage all safe. A cloud of mystery seems to hang over
this extraordhvy affidh'.—Montrose Standard.
