THE HYDRo.oxYGEN MIcRoscoPE.-We were YES.
terday admitted at SANKEY'S rooms, No. 81, Old Bond
street, TO a private view Of one of the most extraordinary
exhibitions we ever remember: it is denominated the
hydro-oXygen microscope, and is an apple alton of the
light employed by Lieut.. Drummond on the trigonometri.
cal survey to microscopic purposes. A stream of oxvoen
gas, ana another oil hydrogen gas, Che chief constituents
oil water) are brought into union, and projected in an jp-
nited state upon a mass of lime, producing a light of in.
tense briilancy' which, passing through a lens, throws
the images OF objects m~agnifed from 10, ZOO, to SOC. 600
umes, In The manner OF a solar microscope, upon a disk of
IL feet diameter. The inanimate objects consisted Of frag.
inents OF insects wings, OF Juci, sea-weed, woods, hair,
&c; all The minute external properties of which were
shown upon an exaggerated scale. A few hairs of an in
liant appeared like tubes two inches in diameter, A small
portion oil the human Pericd.dium exhibited the courses
OF the arteries and veins. The penetrating nature of the
light revealed the interior conformation OF the 0eas and
spiders in the object-elssses. The sting of a bee was !
monsirous barbed weapon, four feet long. The Iancets
oil The horse.hy were ssbres about two feet in length. The
next curious part Of the exhibition consisted of ihe small
anlmalculG In n drop OF water, some of which r seen
preying upon each other. Some skeleton Iarvm were
RON lhelr dlaPhanous texture, beautifully developed, ex.
ilblling even the vesicle Of air which enables them TO rise
or descend IN The water; and some OF the worms found in
stagnant bitches, the natural size of which is that of n
thread, appeared like the largest sized boa constructor. fl
w., IN short, an exhibition worthy TO engage the attention
OF natural philosophers OF the highest class, as well as of
the merely curious. The instrument is constructed I'm.
der the superintcndence Of Mr.. Cooper, professor OF civ.
misty, and Mr.. Cary, the optician. The former gentle.
man attends and explains, very clearly and scientifically
the different objects. The exhibition was crowded with
company including persons Of rank aud science, Lord
Professor B%uckand, Times.
The famous Madame vestris-manaeer Of the Landau
Olympic Theatre-seems to be never at a los. for new
means Of acquiring noioriely. Her last notion was IN
take leave OF her patrons, at the close Of a season. with a
parody on the king'ssPeeeb p%roroguiDg parliament.-Th
newspaper give this report Of her parting address on the
3Oih Of March:
My lords, ladies', and gentlemen-I have como 10 NEE,

Wrought out in marble with your country's tears

Lod by your teachings and your prayers to COP.
