W.'s health has not been for some time such es his

ENT's CANAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL
LOCKS.

We congratulate the friends of science and corn.
'rce on the success of the new Philosophical Locks,
dch are erected on that pert of the Regent's Canal
IA is situated about 40 yards from the Hampstead
id. These Locks, in our opinion, promise great
'vantages to the internal commerce and trade of the
spire. The facility and ease with which a vessel is
)nveted from one level of this Canal to another
;more like the work of enchantment than the
Ie ct of philosophical and mechanical science
skill. We yesterday witnessed with high
tisfaction the working of these Locks, surrounded
a crowd of spectators, whose gratification at this
lightful and grand experiment could only be sur.
: by their astonishment at the facility of its per.
'mance. We understand that the Chairman, Corn.
'tee, and Engineer of the Regent's Canal Com-
l. were assembled to inspect this sublime effort of
)man skill ; and we think we hazard little in pro.
uncing, that those Gentlemen participated in the
light which appeared to fill every eye on that grati.
IN occasion. In the boat that passed several times
tm the upper to the lower, and from the lower to
upper level of the Canal, we perceived Sir Wsa.
touter, the inventor of the Locks, Mr. MAUDS.

AY, the engineer who has erected thews, Mr. Moo-
GAN. engineer to the Canal. with Mr. Benner., sod
several other eminent engineers, all of whom ap-
peared highly gratified with the execution of this
mighty work. Had we time, or did we feel our.
selves capable of doing justice to this ingenious and
useful invention, we should certainly attempt to give
a description of it ; but as we are, for these rea-
sons, inadequate to the task, we must content
ourselves at present by merely giving a faint
notlitte of the plan.—We understand that the
Regent's Canal forms a communication with that
of the Grand Junction at the Basin at Padding.
ton, and from thence it is to take a circuit to Lime-
house, along the northern boundary of the metropolis,
in which course there is a fall of 60 or 70 feet ; and as
the Rtgents's Canal has a very scanty supply of
water, it is obvious that to attempt to navigate in
such a Canal with the ordinary Locks, would occa-
:tioit such a lon of water that it would completely de-
eat the whole undertaking. The primary object of the
Philosophical Locks is to prevent this ruinous loss
f water. This grand end is fully effected by these Locks,

~ . . .
aid they securea perfect navigation under such appal-
ing circumstances as, by the old system, would have de-
eated it. These locks are of great capacity : each lock
as an iron casoon, of 80 feet long, 15 feet wide,
lid seven feet deep; the weight of a casoon, filled
rids water, is full 350 tons : two of these casoons
et together, and are put into a state of equilibriunt
vAn 'equal weight of water in each. The casoons
thus bilenced ate, at any point of altitude from
each other, supported by compressing the air below
ee.o 0t5.,,,,is in the inner locks, and which are ren.
IL-I nl dir tight by .mans of tho curtains of the ca.
!. , n. and the water bet reen the minor walls of
ii:e loner locks, and the main walls of the
bluer; And the air that is discharged by one of
the carrion' descending, h thereby forced through a
pipe into the casoon that is ascending. and thus sup-
ports the equilibrium at any point of their traverse.
The one casoon falling a foot suPplies with air the
casonri rising a foot, and so on during the whole pro-
gress of their work. To this beautiful philosophical
principle, is ingeniously applied the hydro.mechani-
cal principle of the immortal BRAMAii, wiliCh is etll.
pinyed to give an impulse to the casoons, by which
they are made either to ascend or descend as requir-
ed. It teas highly majestic to observe 700 tons of
matter in motion, one half of which weight ascend-
ing, And the other half descending, through a perpendi-
cular distauce of seven feet in a perkdof two or three
minutes, and alter:wifely changing their course. This
Mighty mass was set in motion by the physical power
of one or two men. This great performance, in our
opinion, opens an era worthy of the genius of the
engineers of the present age, and promises far to ex-
cel the long-considered mighty mechanical prodigies
of the ancients, in their most ponderous structures.
This grand and novel work redounds highly to the
credit of all the parties concerned in its erection,
and holds out very splendid advantages to the whole
trade of the empire.

There is no truth in the report, that the late De-
sates in Parliament have been translated into German,
and transmitted to the Continent, for the perusal of
:!er Royal Highness the Duchess of ConocoLawn.
I:uttnto Muanca.-0o Sunday evening, as a
yacitg woman, named Catharine Harris, servant to
Mr. Conner, of Carrygrohate, and her fellow-servant,
A boy, were going home from Cork, they were over-
tacit by two men, about a mile from town, one of
whom took the woman up in his arms, and forcibly
eltrird her into a bye-road, while the other man,
ith stones, kept the boy from entering, and by
rarentening to kill him, terrified him so that he ran
agay. At day-break in the morning, two women
discovered the body lying lii the middle of the bye-
told, quite dead ; her mouth and nose were bloody,
her face and neck quite black, and her cap and cloak
torn orr. An Inquest has been held on the body of
the tilifertunate young woman, which brought in a
of Wilful Murder, against Edmond Walsh
a•,d another person unknown. Walsh, by the exer-
*ions of Mr. Conner and some of the constables, has
been apprehended and fully committed by the Coro-
11^r for trial, and there is every hope that his eompa-
%sill be taken.—(Cork Advertiser, June 29).
We are requested, by the Secretary of the Eagle

nuities are granted and purchased, and every descrip-
tion of Fire and Life Insurance effected on the most
equitable terms.—Allowance of Rent o Premises
