The HIEpARcHIcAL DEsporIsM.-This is the
title of the published lectures of Rev. Mr. Cheever
on the Mixture of Civil and Ecclesiastical Power
in the Middle Ages. These lectures were called
forth by an address of Bishop Hughes on the
same subject. We cannot give any idea of their
scope in short notice and only say they are
written with all the erudition and thorough know
ledge of his subject which characteristics the
writings of Mr.. Cheever. Mr.. Cheever stands
prominent among the clergy of our City as

Floating ALARM WHISTLE TO GIVE MARINERS
NoTrcE ON SHOALS AND RocKs.-Amongst Mr..
Hobbs numerous inventions for the preservation
of life and property at sea, is a floating alarm
whistle, of such power as to be heard distance
OF many miles 1t is somewhat similar to a
large barrel organ, with downward projection
in the centre, and moored with a check chain to
the bottom of the sea, TO prevent heavy sea
from upsetting it. The repeated motion OF the
waves gives q continual see,saw motlon-and
there is an arrangement of valves, by which, at
eyerv depression, the water could be earned
through the bottom from the centre to the end OF
the shaft, driving out the air which had entered
at its previous rising, up q chimney. The whistle
is composed of nine powerful! tongues on the &C
Gordon principle-and there is an arrangement
by which nine more powerful tongues act, but
only in very rough weather, thus increasing the
sound during the farther raging OF the storm. A
sounding beacon is also among his valuable IN
ventions, for fixing on rocks, and which, always
turning It's mouth to the wind, would, In small
current, make powerful noise. London paper.
