proweSS' of the leading counsellor on this cxcit-

As it is well known that moist weather, or
even the moisture arising from the breaths Of a
large audience is very unfavourable to genera
ton OF electricity. by a glass machine. it was
with wonder and no small degree of incredulity,
that the scientific word were called upon to add
NIT, that the most powerful Electrical machine
within the reach of human ingenuity, skill and
enterprise, would be large steam engine bui-
Ter, and it il now conceded that the most power
ful Electrical machine that could be made,
would consist chiefly Of such boiler as is used
in the high pressure boats on our Western
rivers A machine constructed would he
able to charge a larger sized battery, than any
other machine heretofore in use.
The connection between the accumulation of
Electricity, and the condensation of aqueous va
pour, is subject Of the highest interest, and has
long been among the most perpIeXing questions
presented to the mcteorologist. From this con-
nection arise those terrific discharges which
constitute lighting, and which, in another form
produce the hurricane and the tornado. Such
being the case il will be satisfactory to the 10.
vrrs Of science. and the admirers of tie most
brilliant aud sublime phenomena OF nature, that
an opportunity is afforded them of seeing the
enormous power Of steam in producing Eec-
tricity, by the exhibition ofthe steam Electrical

Of the Police first stated to Ronge that he was at

replied, with regard 10 the former question, that
he chose the public place with the consent ofthr

the number Of attendants; and in reference TO tn.
latter question, he returned that he hai used
those words, which, however, could be under.
