in price and quality, in distancing all competitors, being
enabled to offer advantages hitherto unprecedented.
The increased demand for the ELECTRO-PLATE af-

being convinced that the superiority of the manufacture will
at once be evident.

FALL OF A ROCK-SALT PIT NEAR NORTHWICH.-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-
volving 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 have taken place on that portion of the 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. Teaserene; of the French commission ; Major Luttermann,
of the Hanoverian commission ; Professor Vignoles, C. E. ;
and several gentlemenof the Dublin and Kingstown Railway.
The experiments were undertaken by Messrs. Samuda, the
patentees, et 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 sow uneven state, but the velo-
Alkhour. It is city attained was from 30 t .
teem on the Dublin

Railway, for which a itrautlhas already been
the steps to be taken
and Kingstown .
made by Government, will determine
