On. Cexs LEcrURE Sabbath afternoon WAS n
continuation of the subject of the preceding Sabbath
--The Unity Of the Human Rdces.
Having in his former Lecture noticed the d,rrsitie,
existing among the same species in the domestic
tribes and having shown that there was every reason
10 believe man would he alike affected by modifying
influences he proceeded to consider the pecularitcs
which distinguish the different races of men, These
he said might be divided into the CoMPLaxioSAL, or
those which pertain to color; the CRANioLoGicAL and
STRUCTURAL, or such MS relate to the shape and size
of the skull trunk and limbs. the PsYcuoLoGicAL, or
those connected with the intellectual and moral npti-
udes and powers. Upon the basis of these differences
paturaists had divided mankind into various groups
or classes. The Considerations Of Blnmenbach, Lin
mans Cuvier Latham. and Prichard, were here given
II was remarked that while there certain char
nceristics distinguishing these several groups from
each other yet that there interval of mere sep
nrnlion between them-that they ran almost impcr-
cep,ibly into one arother-and that often among in-
diyiduals Of The same group were varieties equal to
those distinguishing the groups themselves. This fact
was itself presumptive ofa common origin.
The consideration of The dversies among men
was then more particularly entered upon. Pecu.iarl-
ties of color were first noticed. 1t was shawn that
there was no organic difference the of the
skin between the white and dark races and that the
difference in color due TO the deposition of color
ing matter in the cells of the cpidernis; That dscol-
Grafton often produced through solnr, ntmosphc
rio and other agencies. Numerous Illustrations were
given upon This point exhibiting the greatest variety
of hue among individuals OF the same nation residing
in different ATTITUDES and locations showing that
general thing, men light or dark coored as they
approached TO, or rcceded from equatorial heat.
1t was announced that in the next Lecture other
and more important direrstics would be considered
particularly the peculiarities of the negro race.

EXPLANATION OF THE FORMATION OF AL
LoYs.--An alloy Of nine parts copper and one
part tin is tough, rigid metal, used in brass
ordnance, and called gun-metal it admits
of neither rolling or drawing. By increasing
the proportion Of tin, which is much softer
than copper, the hardness Of the alloy is ao-
tlally increased. Two parts copper and one
part tin produce an alloy so hard that it can
not be cut with steel tools, but crumbles un-
der their action; when struck with a ham
mer, or even suddenly warmed, it flies in
pieces like glass, and exhibits highly crys-
talline structure.
1t has no trace of the red color of copper,
but is quite white, and takes an exquisite
polish, not greatly disposed to tarnish; this
is the speculum metal, used in rejecting tele-
scopes Copper and lead do dot combine so
readily as copper and zinc; for if the molds
be opened before the castings become cold
the lead will ooze out and appear on thesu
face in globules. The same thing happens to
less extent in gun metal. Molds of brass,
on the contrary, may be opened while red
hot .

The dock yard Of Messrs. Laird 4 o., at
Birkenhead, opposite Liverpool Is one Of
the most important and most cOmplete in
existence. II has a river frontsge Of 250
yards ai a'width'of 200; its total area is of
40, 900 square yards, divided into dry-docks,
workshops, store-rooms and courts. II pos
sesses colossal crane, l65 yards long by
thirty yards wide, planted on q turning
plate tWenty-eight yards in diane ter, and
standing on the edge of vast basin where
lie the ships on board of which IL yes TO
hoist the steam engines and boilers. The
dock-yard also contains various other GRAVES
of lesser dimensions, one Of which IL lOc,0-
motive, and is wheeled TO any part Of thSe
establishment where its services are needed;
and two lines Of tran-way, corresponding
with the main line Of the Cheshire railway.
The scale on which this establishment is
worked may be inferred from the fact that
the Messrs. Laird, Ia 1858, had already built
230 ships, whose united capacity was 95, 900
tuns. During the twenty-five months be-
tween January, 1855, and October, 1856,
scventy-fve ships were built by them, IN
clnding several destined for the royal navy,
Of 400 horsepower, and gun-boats of from
200 TO $50 TINS. The two largest vessels
built by the Messrs. Laird are the Nil5ia aud
the Alma, screw stea ners, 200 tuns and
500 horse power. These two steamers were
built for the Penipsular aad Oriental Steam
transports during the Crimean campaign
aad the m1tiny in India. II is said that the
4lmd, on her passage from Cslcutta to Suily,
averaged twelve and three-quarter knots for
a distance of 4,60o miles.
The establishment in question was origi-
nally founded in Liverpool in 1924; it was
removed to Birkenhead in 1856 It employs
1900 workmen for whose welfare and inn
provement various admirable arrangements
have been made. Thus, rear the entrance
is separate building, consisting of aground-

Of this building forms a vast refectory for

room, well supplied with books and papers,
and warmed in winter, where those who

An inquiry took place in this Court touch
ing the mental condition of Gustav Peter,
who was found wandering in the streets
the previous day; that he had been employed
at a Catholic Institute in that vicinity. He
occupied kneeliDg position while in the
Courtroom, and was constantly engaged in
reading from a German prayer book. He
says he is native of Baden and came to
the United States eleven years ago. 1t is
supposed he escaped from the Dayton

of this County, the Court had the facts re-
ported to the County Commissioners, with a

To Ne Editors Of the Daily Press:
1t is stated by the friends of the Oppasi-
tion ticket that its nominees are pledged to
return the shell-bond for the sum of $4,000.
Now this is to be regretted, because the
ndrket-Ualue of the bond has only been
$4,000 at the highest, and it has been offered
at that price, / am informed, time and again;
but the character of the bond is sele depre-
ciating, and no buyers could be found at
this price, and a lower value would have
doubtless been fixed, but for this movement
of the leaders of the Regular ticket party.
1t is rumored that the parties directly in
terested are urging the Regular party to re-
suscitate the question, in the hope of en-
hancing the value of the bond, and it ap-
pears that the leaders of the Regular ticket
party have been stupidity drawn in" sup
posing that they could retrieve their position
before the community by presenting this
dodge; but now as it is clear that they are
in the hands of sharpers, it may be wise for
them to drop the matter and leave it where
judicious management had consigned it.
