" womans rights :"
most painful scene occurred at HEREFORD on Tues
day. the 18th Toward the close of the proceedings of
the Hertfordshire election just after Sir Edward Bulwer
had concluded his address with fervent tribute of adj
mration to the womanly beauty exhibited in the long
line Of open carriages chaes and vans drawn in front
of the hsngs there unwonted stir in the crowd,
which parted to admit of the passage of hired broug ham
from one of the town inns. The carriage having stop
ped two ladies alighed of them extremely hand
some woman of about fortyfve years of age with fresh
complexion and eyes of dazzling beauty.
The lady, who was evidently laboring under excite
ment which exercised all her powers to control advan
ced as nearly she could through the crowd toward the
hustngs and announced herself the wife of the Right
Hon. Sir f. B. Lytton, stating that she had come ac-
cording to promise made by her to confront her hus
band and expose the wrongs which she said he had
inflicted upon her. and which she had described in her
works and in pamphlet published by her.
1.-The appearance of the lady wasnot unexpected, as
her coming had been announced in bills and placards
but owing to a deception which had been practiced up
on her by some persons the town. who had introduced
themselves to her. she detained in the town while
the election proceeding IN the vicinity. Those in
the secret anticipated that she would not discover the
mistake until the proceedings over, and that her
design would be thus frustrated. 1t was nearly Re
cognized seen her voice was nearly drowned
by the shouts of Sir Edwards supporters but Sir Ed
wards eye caught hers and his face paled He looked
like suddenly attacked by paralysis Those near
/ him say he tremblcd exceedingly. For few moments
he retained his position in front of the hastings, but
turned his back on the unwelcome visitor. Then he
suddenly disappeared below the hustngs platform while
his wife cried Coward :" and he having hastily signed
the usual declaration escaped into the residence of the
gentleman on whose grounds the election took place.
Lady Lyton continued to address the audience as
sembcd for more than quarter OF an hour, repeating
her statements in her pamphlet and asserting her nen
ton to confront her husband on every possible occasion
until she compelled him to redress her wrongs. Her
adyship subsequently made application to the Mayor
for the of the Town Hall for the purpose OF making
public statement; but this being refused her she left
the town early in the afternoon. Lady Lyton arrived
in Hartford at o'clock the morning of the election,
having posted from Taunton, where she resides. 1t is
needless to say that the event described has caused the
greatest possible excitement in Hertfordshire."

PORCELAIN AND EARrHENwARE.-Porcelain is dis
tngushed from common earthenWare by its beautiful
semi transparency as we'll by its greater hardness and
strength Our knowledge of porcelain dates only from
the discovery of the passage to India by the Portuguese
who first brought specimens of this from China
composed of kaon, pure clay drained from the decom
position of fespar and petuntze, the latter quarzose
tespar partly decompOsed The clay alone is able to
produce only white opaque body, like any other sort
OF clay ware but when proper portion of the peuntZe
is Incorporated with it, the tusibe fespar at i'm
parts new properties to the biscuit rendering it semi
transparent and very strong and sonorous Thus por-
Celan differs from common earthenWarc by being some
what assmiated to the nature of glass. The espar
fuses in the heat Of tie furnace owing to the potash
soda it contains, and the fused portion so completely
permcatcs the whole that the clay becomes, it
WERE saturated with glass; until it has the popularity
! semransparency belonging to it. Porcelain is also
distinguished from common carthcnwarc by its glaze
which is formed of pulyerized fcpar and has, therefore
the composition and hardness with the body of the
biscuit This glaze has no lead in its composition and
thus differs III a most important particular from the
glazing of Opaque The latter may be removed
from the body which it by mechanical or chem
cal means and often chips off and cracks no such acc
dent can happen to the porcelain glaze which, owing to
its being of the constitution with the body of the
ware is completely with it, and suffers fracture
from any inequality Of expansion contraction between
the two materials
