attention of their Friends to their srLut: DID AND EX-
TENSIVE STOCK OF JEWELLERY, constantly replenished
with the moat elegant Novelties from the first Manufacturers
in London, and the production of THEIR OWN MANUFAC-
TORY, ON THE Raumisits, and forming an unrivalled Collec-
tion of Ornaments, to the selection of which their exertions
are unremittingly devoted.
The kind patronage conferred upon them since they com-
menced the manufacture of WATCHES ha u induce-
ment to still greater efforts, and they e succeeded, both
in price and quality, in distancing a competitors, being
enabled to offer advantages hitherto unprecedented.
The increased demand for the ELECTRO-PLATE af-
fording proof of the high estimation in which it is held, P.
and H. solicit the favour of an examination of their Stock,
being convinced that the superiority of the manufacture will
at once be evident.
The most prompt attention paid to the execution of orders,

HAVE BEEN PLATED UPON THE FORMER SYSTEM.

FALL OF A ROCK-SALT PIT NEAR NORTRWICH.-It will
be in the recollection of many of our readers, that about
three years ago several lives were lost in consequence of the
falling in of the top mine of a rock-salt pit belonging to
Messrs. Ashton, of Dunkirk, near Northwich. A few weeks
ago, indications were given that a second fall might be ex-
pected, and it has since taken place, owing, as it is conjec-
tured, to some rock-salt pillars, in the bottom mine, having
given way. In this fall, however, no lives have been sacri-
ficed as in the former melancholy instance, but the loss of
property to several respectable proprietors is very great, in-
volvinc, considerable loss to the rock-getters and their fami-
lies, who regularly worked in the mines, which are now
flooded to the height of five feet deep by the water, which had
collected in the enormous cavity which the former calamity
had occasioned, and which has now found its way into three
neighbouring pits, and threatened to enter as many more.
It is said that the men who are now unemployed, are amusing
themselves occasionally by sailing on the water in a cock-
boat from one pit into another in which it had entered, at a
depth from the surface of the earth of a hundred and twelve
yards.—Macclesfield Courier.

EXPERIMENTS ON THE ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY.—
During the past week a series of experiments on the atmos-
pheric principle name tauen place on mar purtion or tne West
London Railway, at Wormwood Scrubbs, which is construct-
ed on the atmospheric system. Among the scientific gentle-
men present were his Excellency the French ambassador,
M. Tesserene, of the French commission; Major Luttermann,
of the Hanoverian commission •, Professor Vignoles, C. E. ;
and several gentlemen of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway.
The experiments were undertaken by Messrs. Saniuda, the
patentees, at the request of the French ambassador, to afford
the gentlemen representing the French and Hanoverian
powers an opportunity of judging of the practicability of the
system. Owing to the line not having been worked for the
last four months it was in a very uneven state, but the velo-
city attained was from 30 to 40 miles an hour. It is under-
stood that the result of the trial of this system on the Dublin
and Kingstown Railway, for which a grant has already been
made by Government, will
.determine the steps to be taken
e rasn, and
iss°htoa 'pBs
by foreign powers on the subject.
