THE LAST SCOURGE. I A Negro Slave sat on thry ground, Lonely and much depressed; His mental pain was too profonud In words to be expressed. A store of vain ha was, and weak, His back by the scourge was gnaw d And tears were rippling down his cheek Like fountains overflowed. The scourge in scatter'd fragments lay, Which he with scorn addressed If Can it be now thy final day? Can'st tlii)tt be now at rest ? II X 0 more shalt thou my soul provoke, Nor on mv flesh be laid; The steel'd heart fiend who wield thy stroke, Has his last tribute paid." Quick as the spark from smitten steel. From nitrous grain the blaze,- A female form came for his weal, She stood before his face. "I will to thee it tale unfold She to the Slave replied "Thou like a beast will't ne'r iv mold, Nor freedom to thee denied. "I come to thee now to declare The Slaves forever freo! Cood tidings beyond compare, My name is LIBERTY." 4i Those in the field of battle stood, Have they bled there for nought; No—Slavery they and with their blood, from Time s llook did blot out." 44 Those in the field for Freedom fell, Gave for thee their bravery- From pole to pole let every bell Rim; their kueil and Slavery."

oitr Tibracit gaMc. Bow BELLS, for March. London: John Dicks, 318, Strand. The proprietors advartise this periodical ItS" the La- dies favourite;" and it is certainly admirably adapted for the work tables of the fair sex, or to give them amusement when they are taking their ease,, and loung- ing away an idle hour in their easy chairs. The two continuous tales of the Home Angel." and One Tree Square," are redolent of incident and interest and there are ten complete tales besides. Picturesque Sketches," "Adventures," the "Portrait Gallery," in which memoirs as well as likenesses of eminent public characters, male and female, are included; article. in "General Literature," "New and Original Music," the Sphinx," U Essays," Poetry," and" the Ladies Pageq,tlie latter devoted exclusively to the-pnrsuits of women,—make up the part. But the "Bow Bells" Literature will please males as well as females; and there is a large amount of really interesting reading in this part now on our table, for both sexes, and all ages. To select an extract is puzzling, amidst so much availa- ble matter but as all our readers have, no doubt, heard of Blondin, whilst many may know nothing of him, ex- cept that he is the most wonderful rope-walker ever heard of, we will give an abstract of the memoir of that celeb. rated Frenchman, which accompanies his portrait. He was a son of a French soldier, who served under Bonaparte; and was born on the 28th of February, ISM: "At a very early age he displayed extraordinary courage and nerve for a child; so much so, that at the puny age of four years, he was placed under the care of they proprietor of L' Ecole de Gymnase, at Lyons; and so ra- pid was the progress made, that he was soon brought forward as the little wonder." His feats of agility, strength, and daring, won for him, in a short time. a ? a gre?it attraction proud position, and he speedily became a great attraction at the various theatres in France." His father's death left him an orphan at nine years of age; and being thus dependent upon himself, he was, probably, stimulated to attempt daring feats at an earlier age than he would have been permitted to do, if his natural guardian had been living. However this may be, he certainly ex- celled his competitors in acrobatics and having attain- ed great fame in France, in 1S55, he determined to cross the Atlantic, and visit America. There he soon ac- quired a name as a gymnastic, and a rope-walker in throwing somersaults, also, no rival could excel, few equal him. While at Niblo's gardens, at New York, the following anecdote is recorded of him. A rehearsal was taking place of what were known as the Bedouin Arab feats,—feats which were highly popular in this country, a few years since. One of these feats was, to take a flying leap over a group of soldiers with fixed bayonets. The principal leaper could not get the num- ber of men he had to leap over in a sufficient compact manner to venture the feat; but Blondin, who was standing by in his ordinary walking dresr, without saying a word, took a few short strides, and with one tremen- dous bound, turned a complete somersault over the whole, the principal leaper included. In an instant he was in his previous cool position, looking on as if nothing had happened. While at the Niagara Falls, in 1858, be conceived the idea of the hitherto unheard of feat, of crossing the rapids on a single rope. He was almost set down as a madman for the bare idea. However, he was not to be daunted. A rope was stretched over the vast chasm, a distance of 1,100 feet, and at an eleva- tion of 170 feet on one bank, and at 160 on the other. He accomplished the feat, and repeated it several times; once in the presence of the Prince of Wales. He soou after came to this country, where his career is supposed to be so well known, that nothing is said about it. "Bow Bells" is profusely illustrated; and besides the wood-cuts introduced into the letter-press, each monthly part contains a coloured portrait of some Euro- pean sovereign, with a view of his principal palace. This month, the Emperor Napoleon," and the Tuileries," are the subjects of these engravings. AMERICA IN THE MmST OF WAR. B. G. A. Sala. London Tinsley, Brothers. This is one of the most readable books the author has published. It is not free from his predominating fault —the over-abundant use of words; but that fault is much less marked than usual; and all his vivid powers of description and narrative are called forth, and most ef- fectively displayed. As most readers of newspapers know, Mr. Sala went to the Federal States as a corres- pondent of the Daily Telegraph; and his letters to that journal were generally read. The present volume- the second title of which is, My Diary in America, in the Midst of War,"—is not a mere reprint of those letters, revised and corrected." It is, almost entirely, an original work and any one who commences at the first page, will eagerly accompany the writer till the word "-Finis," tells him, that they can proceeed no fur- ther together. The Diary," relates to little but the town-life of the old States on the coast. Mr. Sala's avo- cations— and the jealousy displayed towards him, as the war correspondent of the English press,—alike prevented him from making excursions either to the West or to the South. His field of observation was, therefore, limited; and the use he has made of the materiel thus afforded causes us to wish, he may revisit the country, should we live to see peace restored aud give us as vivid and pleasant sketches of the States from which he was excluded,—as he has produced of the places with which his recent residence of about two years in the country rendered him familiar. We will give a brief ex- tract or two from the Diary; taken from the author's sketches of society in the States. Don't run away," he says, with the notion, that, in America, chance acquaintances are easily made. The ex- treme taciturnity of the working classes, I have dwelt upon over and over again. In the cars, or on board steamboats, it is a matter of the extremest rarity for a stranger to speak to you and if you speak to him, quite as rare does he deign to give you a civil answer. You may live for weeks in a hotel, without exchanging a word with any one, save the waiters and the clerks. At the table d'hote there is little miscellaneous conversation. If your neighbour or your next neighbour but one, re- quire the salt-cellar, or the saucer of cold slaugh, or the crystal vase of celery, he extends big arm, points a grissly finger towards the desiderated dish, and, in a se- pulchml tone, utters the monosyllable Say,'—meaning, Give me that.' He generally omits to say Thank you,' when you have handed him what he wants. Thanks, the silly old European adage has it, costs nothing; but in the States they are dearer than diamonds. Our cou- sins seem to fear, than a mere expressional feeling of gratitude might be construed into a confession of inferi- ority on their part; and it is this constant, lurking dread of seeming small in the eyes of a stranger, which is at the bottom of the apparent rudeness and churlishness of the kindest and most obliging people in the world. Had you been properly introduced to the man who points the grissly fingers and mutters' Say,' he would thank you twenty times over for the most trifling service you rendered him and if you wanted anything, would give you salt, celery, and cold slaugh—aye, and green seal,' and smoked Madeira, to wash it down, to last you a life-time." Our next extract, shall take us from the table d'hote to th^ ball-room. Our author tellns, that There are two delightful characteristics in all Ameri- can social gatherings of a saltatoiy nature: everybody dances, and all the ladies can talk. There are no gen- tlemen qui font tapis, erie. or perform the part of wall flowers, lounging against, wainscots or door jambs, og- ling the dancers, and irritating the belles who want partners. Under penalty of ostracism, they must all plunge into the mazy, and foot it. They foot it tripping- ly. Dancing here is dancing indeed. There are as many reverences dropped in a quadrille as in the Minuet de la Cour—that noblest and most delightful of dances to those who have seen Taglioni as the gentleman, and Fanny Eisler as the lady. The chief fiddler calls out the names of the figures, and clapa his hands, and calls out Address'—whatever that may mean—quite in the defunct Yorkshire stingo style. When the gentleman I am speaking of the hops,'—dance, they jump; when the ladies revolve, they make cheeses. You find no line-of-battle ship matrons laid up in ordinaay so to speak, on settees, and covered with the dock-yard paint speak, on c;ettee?,, of the toilet table, be-fannod, be-jewelled, and speech- less- You find no desolate spinsters partnerless, glow- ering through their eye-glasses balefully, and nosing the atmosphere with supercilious sniff. The matrons foot it as tdppiugly as their daughters. The spinsters find partners. In a country where none are fat, all dance. Indulgence in the poetry of motion would not seem to be tabooed by any professional etiquette. Clergymen on active service, and not being shakers, adjure the light fantastic toe; but, as almost every educated person in America who has not been in a dry goods store, or in stock-jobbing, or taught school, or done lawyer s work, or kept a grog-shop, has been, at some period or another a clergyman of some denomination, I will not go so far as to say, are altogether strangers i o the allurements of the niazv. A.s to the military, they are fanatics in their addictedness to the dance—to say nothing of that distinguished Union General in Louisiana, who has been a dancing master. The legal profession would all seem to be disciples of Sir Christopher Hatton; and it is a very beautiful aud edifying speotacle to 100 a Judge ot the United States in a swallow-tailed coat, and a mous- tache quete Napoleouieally spiked, advancing in the c,i,valici- sea' We think we have given sufficient specimens of )1r. Sala's agreeable style, and pieasant information, to in- duce our readers to wish to peruse the work; which they may rely upon it, will not, as they proceed, pall upon the sense." THE DAY OF REST. No. 1.—London 153, Fleet- street. This is the first number of a new weekly periodical, which, were it not for the illustration of the tale of "The Hidden Sin," on the first page, might be taken for All the Year Round," it so nearly resembles that jour- nail in the size of the page, in the appearance of the type, and of the paper. From the title, "Tlie Day of Hest," we were disposed to take it for a new specula- tion in the class of Good Words," "The Sunday at Home," or "TheSunday Magazine but itiikiilite akin to Dieken's work or Chambers' Journal." There is fiction, archeology, narrative, criticism, didactics, gos- sip, and poetry, in the first number; which is a very good specimen; and if future numbers equal it, We think The Day of Rest"' will take a permanent place in our literature. Some of the cleverest men of the day are engaged upon it; and this first number is certainly quite equal to what we have seen of All the Year Round," which sells at double the price of the new ad- venture ill the literary field. We copy from it the fol- lowing tribute to the Quen The Q'ueen, if she has not thoroughly returned to public life, has done so, in, perhaps, the best sense. She- has deputed her son and heir to hold levees, and her daughter-ill-law to hold a drawing-room in her stead; but she herself has received the ambassadors and her nobility, ami hos gone through the less public and osten- tatious, but far more precious, duty of visiting the sick, and of cheering the wretched in hospitals. When we lose this good Queen (and let us hope it will please God long to preserve her) these gentle visits will be remem- bered to her honour, and the voices of men and women will be heard, foudly recounting little humble acts of kindness which court journals cannot publish, because they are now hicMen. In the Consumption Hospital the other day, 210 sack were greatly cheered and touched by the visit of the Qyeeu. Surely the joy of these sick hearts was more precious than that of the five or six hundred who would delight iu being presented in trains, diamonds, stairs, and feathers, at a drawing-room ;or a levee."

THE ROLLS COURT, MARCH 22ND. BOBEIOTS V. EVANS. The defendant in this suit is a gentleman who is ex- tSnsivelv connected in business with the principality, aud, as the judgment of the Master of the Rolls con- tains his full and complete vindication on the merits of the case, we feel a pleasure' in inserting the judgment verbatim. The Master of the RoUs.1 am of opinion that the plaintiff's case in this matter fails in all respects. Iu the first place, it is not a case of which equity can pro- perly take cognisance; and secondly, if it could, the merits of the case are, in my opinion, entirely against the plaintiff. The nature of the case is this:- In the year 1850.a person of the name of Lunt borrowed £ 300 from the plaintiff. The plaintiff's solicitors were the defendant, Mr. David Evmis,.and his son, Mr. Robert Evans, since deceased. The sou was the only person managing the business, and- the security taken for the £ 300 was a reversionary interest and a promissory note. The plaintiff says that the son, Mr. Robert Evans, as- sured him that it was a perfectly good security, and that he, the plaintiff, trusting to. that representation, advanc- ed his money upon the security. Now there is no pre- tence, as the case came before me, that any fraud was committed by the defendant, Robert Evans. A case of fraud is indeed alleged in the bill, but, substantially, no tittle of evidence was adduced in support of it. Fraud is disproved, and it has been abandoned, and, I must say, necessarily abandoned! and unavoidably abandoned, by the counsel of the plaintiff at the bar therefore, it is a case in which there is no species of fraud on the part of the defendant; and if so, it is simply a case of mis- take. If the defendant, or rather Mr. Robert Evans, did apply to the trustee, Mt. Molyneux, and got the same answer from him that the plaintiff himself got in the year 1853, it was very probable, and reasonably likely, that he should be misled in such a case. It is ob- vious that if there were nothing mote, this would have been a case for an action at law; if the case had originally come before me, I confess- that I could not have inter- fered I should have come to the conclusion that there was no proper equity in the matter; that the matterwas a subject for an action of negligence against the solicitor, and that he must bring his action at law. Accordingly this was the adviee the. plaintiff received, and he did bring an action at law. I will state presently some dates which are material. The action at law was brought in November, 18G3, and it ended in an arbitration in which the plaintifffailed. Now, if, even without an action at law, the court would not interfere; if, after the plaintiff has elected to bring an action at law and fails, he then comes- here, simply because he cannot get any relief at law, that is a species of equity which used to be supposed in former times, but which merely tells against the plaintiff. Now, the facts, when they are looked at a little more closely, make the plaintiff's case more hopeless. The transaction took place in 186U. Upon the 3rd September, 1850, Y50 was advanced, and on the 20th of November, 1850, the security was exe- cuted, not merely by the man who received the money, but by the plaintiff who lent it, and who must be con- sidered and assumed to have aknowledge of the contents of the deed which he executed; therefore, he knew, or must be taken to have known, at that time, that it was a reversionary interest upon which he advanced his- money. Upon the day after the 21st of November, 1850, he advanced the remaining .e250, Very little in- terest was paid; and, indeed, as far as I can make out, only £ 20- was paid in the whole upon this advance. In 1853 the plaintiff went to the trustee, Mr Molyneux, and made full inquiry into the nature and value of the security, and it appeared from Mr. Ifolyneux's state- ment that the reversionary interest would amount to about £ 600; and, if so, it might have been worth the value of the C300 advanced upon it. That was the in- formation which be received at that time he learned this in 1853; he therefore knew everything about it in 1853. It was fit and open to him to make any further inquiry of others (which he did) if he thought that was unsatisfactory, or he could not trust to it; but the trustee is ordinarily the person you go to to ascertain the value of the security upon which, under such cir- cumstances, money is advanced. Upon that, he takes no steps whatever for six years afterwards—for more than six years—for this purpose; for on the 19th of August, 1859, Mr. Robert Evans died, and during the whole of these six years, when he knew everything about it, and when, as far as I can make out, Lunt had left the country, but at all events, when he knew he was receiving no money for interest, and when he had gone to the trustee to inquire, he takes no steps whatever against Mr. Robert Evans, but allows the matter to remain, while he was alive during the whole of the time, and could have given every explanation upon the sub- ject. Now, it is alleged by the plaintiff that he knew nothing of the nature or inadequacy of the security un- til October, 1863; but that, from the circumstances I have already stated, is fully disproved; first, by the execution of the deed; secondly, by being put upon inquiry from the non-payment of interest; and thirdly, from the special inquiry made in the year 1853 to Mr. Molyneux. Well, then, in this state of things he brings the action on the 17th of November, 1863. This ends in arbitration, and the arbitrator finds for the defendant. The grounds of the finding I do not know; but if he found that the statute of limitations was a bar to the plaintiff's action, in my opinion he found very properly it was a bar to the action. He may have held that there was not sufficient evidence of false representations, or misrepresentations, or of negligence. I have none given before me further than this—that the property was an inadequate security. Now, a plaintiff who may bring forward a case against another at any time during that man's life, and who delays doing so until after that person dies, for a period of nine years) for it is from 1850 to 1859), and then alleges that a false representation was made to him by a deceased person, which allegation no person can by possibility contradict, aud if upon that foundation he seeks to found an equity, he must then ex- pect to find every presumption of law and of the fact taken against him; that is a necessary consequence. But it is not necessary to resort to that here, because the facts shown by the plaintiff himself clearly show that he has no case at law, and he has no case in equity. Therefore, in my opinion, the bill must be dismissed, and dismissed clearly with costs, because there is a gross charge of fraud which is not attempted to be sub- stantiated.

At Cork assizes, on Saturday, James Carson, a mail guard, was sentenced to 5 years penal servitude for steal- ing a letter containing money. It was a trap letter," as he had been suspected of robbery while sorting letters in "the travelling post-offiee" on the Great Southern and Western Railway.

COBDEN. On Sunday, about the time when Morning Service was beginning in our churches, one of the most remark- able men of our time was breathing his last, and to-day there will be but one voice of lamentation for the loss of Richard Cobdea. Not yet sunk into the vale of years, though worn away by gradually increasing ill- ness, this distinguished man has passed from among us, if not in the full zenith of his influence, at any rate in the full enjoyment of his powers and without any warn- ing of the approaching termination of his career. A generation has arisen which does not remember the old days of Protection, or the momentous struggle which terminated in the liberation of our commerce; but while Mr. Cobden was among us we scarcely felt how far these things have drifted away from the region of contemporary history. His fome, his success, his per- sonal presence, were all so intimately connected with that great struggle that it was hardly possible to see him without going back for twenty years, and forgetting the less brilliant period of his life by which that struggle has been succeeded. Richard Cobden was one of those- men whom the fer- tile soil of freedom never fails to cast up whenever there is a great deed to do, or a great reputation to make. In some respects he might appear at first sight one who was not peculiarly well qualified to conduct a great po- pular agitation. His manners, at least in private life, I' were gwntle and courteous he habitually shunned all occasions of giving offence, and, without deserting his opinions, took no particular delight in supporting them. Nature had given him tastes for both what is correct in design and eiegant in language, but his voice had neither great flexibility nor power, and his matin jr and action were not such as greatly to commend him' to turbulent and mixed assemblies. He probably was more at home in the House of Commons than in those large- meetings twer-wliieb he exercised so great and so decisive an in- fluence. But though he was scantily endowed with the external gifts and graces of oratory, Mr. Cobden had that within which amply compensated for these trifling defects. His delivery was earnest and impressi ve, his language was clear; vernacular, and well chosen, his appeal to the reason of his hearers weighty and well directed, his power of argument singularly sustained, subtle; and elastic. He could impress upon an unculti- vated) audience long aud subtle arguments on matters far removed from ordinary experience, and by the united' power of language, vigour of thought, and home- liness. of illustration, could convince as well as persuade, and win converts white he was overwhelming adver- saries. No man took up the ground he meant to main- tain with more caution; no man saw more clearly the weakness- and difficulty of hh own position, or the as- sailable- points of his adversary. It was his habit to anticipate objections, and to answer argUln mts before they bad' been urged, and so to qualify and limit his positioii7 as to leave as few vulnerable points as possible. His English' was clear, racy, and idiomatic, free from common., andivulgar expressions on the one side, or from exaggerated or inflated periods on the other, He was Nature herself; but Nature straining and bending all her powers to the attainment of a single object, to the establishment of a single pi-jint. He had a mastery over every part of the great Free Trade controversy such as nobody else could pretend to, and in the number of speeches which he made on the same subject he showed a boundless fertility of illustration, and an inexhaustible ingenuityihivarying the arrangeriietiz ind the form of his arguments. Although not exempt from that in- equality which attends even the best public speakers, there is no-orator of the present day who was so sure to bring out the facts, to adduce the arguments, and to. make the- impression that he desired. Such a man could not fail of great success, especially among the hard heads and'shrewd understandings of the North. Year after year-he laboured on in the cause of Free Trade,. and it might be difficnlt to say what amount of progress he had made, when suddenly the whole edifice of Pro- tection crumbled away before him, and he found himself victorious in a struggle which many had considered as almost without hope. At that moment he occupied a position as proud, per- haps, as bes everfallen to the lot of any English subject who, by the mere exercise of energy and talent, has raised himself above his fellow-c:tizens. Just seventy years after the discoveries of Adam Smith were made public the victory was obtained, and the twenty years of Mr. Cobden's life which have succeeded this glorious epoch have witnessed the verification of his ideas and the gradual diffusion of his principles. Mankind begin to see that Protection is the sure cause of poverty to Governments, while Free Trade is a mine of wealth that yields more the more it is worked. Mr. Cobden bad also. the merit of first calling the attention of the country to sound and judicious views withreference to the Colonies. He pointed out the absurdity of supposing that these possessions conferred on the country an advantage at all similar to that which would: arise from an increase of the population or territory from which we draw our taxes,.and the means of defending ourselveg in foreign wars. Mr. Cobden was several time invited to take a part itva Libertl Administration, but always refused to fetter his liberty with the toils of office, even at periods wheu;it might reasonably have been supposed that the possession of an official income would be a considerable object to him. The public has not been unmindful of the benefits it has received; at the hands of this great Reformer. Once and again it has come forward to mark itssause of his services, and to take care that one who has done so much to make these islands richer and hap- pier should not have any reason to repine in the midst of the abundance and prosperity which have followed his exertions. Mr. Cobden was not 61 years of age when he died; and at his years a statesman is in this country still deem- ed young. When the story of his life comes to be writ- ten, there are few things in biography which will be more interesting than the account of his rise from the home of a Sussex yeoman, and from the position of a boy in a London warehouse, to a place in the Senate, where he could command his audience and influence the destiny of nations. Boru in 1804 at Durnford, near Midhurst, he lost his father early, and while still young found a post in a wholesale warehouse in the city. In process of time he became a traveller for this establish- ment, and ultimately settled down with some friends of his own standing as partners in a cotton-printing business in Manchester. He quickly threw himself into local politics, and took an active part in public life. In 1834 he sought a change in travel. In that year he visited Egypt, Greece, and Turkey in the following year he went to America and the fruit of his travels appeared in two well-known pamphlets, as well as in references through many subsequent speeches to the views which he had in these-visits imbibed. In the year 1837, when he was but 33 years of age, he felt strong enough in his position to think of going into Parliament, and he offered himself, though without success, to the borough of Stock- port. It was in the year which followed that he com- menced that great agitation which outside the walls of Parliament until 1841, and as member for Stockport afterwards, ended only in 1846 in the repeal of the Corn Laws. Were it our object to write an indiscriminating panegyric ou Mr. Cobden we should stop here, and pass over in silence the parts which he subsequently took in public affiurs, except, indeed, the- negotiation of the French Treaty. After the repeal of the Corn Laws, however, Mr. Cobden distinguished himself by a succession of speeches directed against our foreign policy, by which he came to be considered as the advocate of what is call- ed Peace at any Price. We will not stop to examine how far this criticism was just; it is certain that for a time, and especially during the days of the Crimean and Chinese wars, these speeches were a great drawback to his well-won popularity. He also took great delight in foretelling events, and as these events very seldom cor- responded with his expectations, his reputation suffered somewhat by the failure of his predictions. We have also remarked with regret that Mr. Cobden's later efforts have been marked by a spirit of intolerance to- wards those who differed from him and an impatience of contradiction which, it is only fair to say, did not mani- fest themselves to the same degree in his earlier days. Perhaps the impatience arising from repeated attacks of illness may be held to excuse these occasional flaws of temper. We only mention them now with the view to make our sketch complete, and not to pass over anything which seems necessary to the comprehension of the man such as he really was. Our own lot has been for many years past to oppose those schemes which Mr. Cobden had nearest at heart! but we do not the less recognize him as a great benefactor to the country, nor regret the loss of a man who, though not exempt from human failings, was pure and disinterested as well as able, and who has left behind him a name which, as Sir Robert Peel in his celebrated eulogium said of him, will be ever remembered by his countrymen when they re- cruit their exhausted strength with abundant and un- taxed food, the sweeter because no longer leavened by a sense of injustice.

Five of the handsomest shops in Tredegar-thoso oc- cupied by Mr. Richards, draper, Mr. Charles, grocer, Mr. Marsden, draper, and the adjoining premises tenan- ted by Mr. William Davies and Mr. Horlick—were tota!. ly destroyed by fire on Friday night. The King of the Belgians has decided on dismantling the fortifications of Ostend, in accord with the municipal council. This decision has been received with great joy by the inhabitants, as it will allow them to extend the town beyond its present confined limits.

CHEMISTRY IN THF, ARTS AND I MANUFACTURES. Another volume of the new edition of "Chemical Technology," by Messrs. Richardson and Watts has just .been issued, and contains tile conclusion of the portion of the work davoted w acids, alkalie3, and salts. The present volume is ccrtaiuly as interesting as any which has yet appeared, containing as it does the history of the manufacture of aluminium and sodium, the in- dustrial application of wolfram, cltromates of potasa and soda, gunpowder, gun cotton, and other subjects in which the readers of the Journal are interested. The chapters in which the readers of the Journal are immediately interested are those ou gunpower and gun- cotton, both of which arc elaborate, and exhaustive of the subjects. After a series of historical notices of gun- powder, the peculiar action of the substance is described, and we are then furnished witil au account of the pro- ducts of decomposition, of the materials used, and the preparation of the mixture, and further operations, A general view of the procoss is thus obtained, and the reader is prepared for the account of the special des- criptions of powder which follows. Davey's blasting powder is honoured witl, the first place, It will be re- collected that in the manufacture of this powder the materials are combined iu a wet state, the paste thus produced beiug first brought into the form; of thread by passing through threads, and, subsequently, granu- late by crushing between wooden rollers. When used in blasting rocks, thio powdei is said to effect a anving of 37 per cent., and at the earae time it produces less smoke, and is altogether less daugcrous, than ordinary powder. Nexi comosan account, of Lannoy's white blasting powder, which possesses tho property of dis- lodging a,rock without much shatteriag.. and without hurling the fragments to a great distance, and which mint, therefore, be of much value to slate qitarryircen especially. De Trots', Atigendre's, ttid Davies*, slid Maine's powders are each described, and we have then accounts of Bucher's aad Phillip's fire aunihiMors, and the cr,uses of their failure. The properties of gunpowder, i and various informations connected, with ii;, are given in the latter part of the chapter, which is altogether of a higMy interesting and instructive character. The material next treated of is gun cotton, which, although hitherto employed to a limited extent only, is, probably, destined at no-distant period tn come into ex- tensive use, though, perhaps, not cutirely to supersede gunpowder. The establisJitacnt and progress of Messrs. Prentice's gml cotton factory, at Sl-owmarket, has been ah eady referred to in the Mining Journal, and an en- graving of the works of this firm is given as the frontis- piece to the volume. The-properties of gun cotton, in connection with blasting operations, are su.!h that its in- troduction for mining purposes may well be regarded as practicable. In connection with this subject the re- marks of Messrs. Richards^u and Watts ate peculiary nf cresting. The fact thai/the action of gun cotton, they ob jo ve, is violent and rat-id in exact proportion to the resistance it cncou.jiers us the secret of its far higher eflicaey in fining thaa-gunpowder. The stronger the rock the less gun cotton comparatively with gun- poll'c: is necessary for the effed so much so that while gun cotton is sponger than powder as 3 to 1 in artillery, it is stronger in the proportion of 6t to 1 in a strong and solid rock, weight for wight, iiud its power of splitting up the material can l'e regulated at will. As it is \10;, liable to be spilt about by the miner, like powder, there is less danger of accidental explosion. The absence of smoke, in it explosion also conduces to ihe. comfort of tho workmen. The entire volume gives evidence of an enormous amount of labour having been, bestowed upon its pro- dueviou, and judging from the subjects the progress of which we especially watch, the-in formation seems to be brought down ut the latest possible period so that the work of which this fo^iis a portion cannot fail to find a plae hI the library of every manufacturer who desires a re-liable work of refeicnee to direct him and enable him tom..ke imoit.vyuieui.s in thrx branch of industry in which he is engaged.—Muiimj JwmwJ.

At low water on Saturday, while the sloop Aid, of Inverkeithing, was on her passage to South Alloa, she struck on a sand-bank opposite AlIo:, Pier. Captain Francis Harrison, who was at the helm at the time, was jerked overboard, and drowned before anything could be done to rescue him. BREAKFAST BEVERAGE.—Homoeopathic Practitioners, and the Medical Profession generally, recommend cocoa as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doctrine of homoeopathy was first introduced into this country, there were to be obtained no preparations of cocoa either attractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach the nut was either supplied in the crude state, or so unskilfully manufactured as. to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London, homoeopathic chemist, was induced in the year 183!) to turn his attention to this subject, and at length succeeded, with the assistance of elaborate ma- chinery, in being the first to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined by the perfect trituration, it receives in the process it passes through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general Lisci Epps's cocoa is distinguished' as an invigorating, grateful breakfast beverage, with a delicious aroma. Dr. Hassall, in his work Food and its Adulterations," s;tyg Cocoa contains a great variety of important nutritious principles; every ingredient necessary to the growth and sustenance of the body." Again, "Asa nutritive, cocoa .stands very much higher than either coffee or tea." Directions -Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a break- fast cup, filled up with boiling water or milk. Secured in tin-lined i-lb., J-lb., and I-lb. labelled packets, and sold at Is. 6d. per lb., by grocers, confectioners, and chemists. It is well known that the Teas imported from China for consumption in this country are artificially coloured, to impart a fictitious appearance of value. This is so gene- rally known that Companies have been formed for the sale of uncolourcd Teas--ii process not dfficult to accom- plish, by means of steam tube and drying pan, thus ren- dering a uniformity of colour and nature never yet.arrived at. This is to be avoided by purchasing Himalaya Tea, which is strong and: invigorating, being free from the poisonous colour put on China Tea. Sold only in packets at 3s. 4d., 4s., and 4s. 4d. per lb.

INTERESTING TO LADIES.—At this season of the year, the important process of bleaching and dressing Laces and Linens for Spring and Summer wear commences, we would particularly call the attention of oar fair read- ers to the Glenfield Starch, an artiele of primary im- portance in the gettiug up of these articles.. The Glen- field Starch is specially manufactured for family use, and such is its excellence that it is now exclusively used in the Hoyal Laundry, and Her Majesty's Laundress pronounces it to be the finest Starch she ever used. Her Majesty's Lace Dresser says it is the best she has tried, and it was awarded two Prize Medals for its supe- riority. The manufacturers have much, pleasure in sta- ting that they have been appointed Starch Purveyors to. H. R. H. the Princess of Wales.

DE JO^GH'S LIGHT-BROWN COD LIVER OIL.—The winter season suggests the necessity of early and prudent precautions --vramst the sudden attacks or insidious advances of affections of the lungs, ch:st, and throat. The most simple and successful preventive- and remedial og.t is this celebrated Oil, which ha> been administered with the greatest benefit in incipient and confirmed Pulmonary COUMUJO-HION, Chronic Bronchitis, Coughs, and other morbid affections of the organs of respiration. The distinguished Physician, Dr. Sebastia- ni, states :—" I have found the Oil most serviceable in cases of hereditary phthisis, where the patients were la- bouring under a susceptibility of the organs of respira- tion, and consequently subject to frequent attacks of cough; in all eioses I have seen the cough lessen, and at last disappear, the susceptibility of (herespiratorYOlgns diminish, the appetite and nutrition improve, thestrcng- h increase, and a most favourable change take place itithe0"e- ner.il system and appearance."

Contracted or Stiff Joints. AH the Medicines in the London dispensaries would barely benefit, much less cure, any chronic cases of con- tracted or stiff jGints whereas if this invaluable Oint- ment be effectually rubbed into such parts twice a day, the effects will be-immense. Paralytic patients even can derive advantages from this fine remedy when other means fail. Scorbutic Humours.—Scald Heads & Skin Diseases. Scorbutic humours arise from an impure state of the blood, and in most cases the liver and stomach are the organs at fault.—The Pills will speelily restore these to a healthy action while the Ointment, if well rubbed in at least twice a day, will soon cure any case of skin dis- ease. Soldiers, sailors, and miners, use this famous Ointment in all parts of the world. Disorder of the Kiiideys, Stone and Gravel. Jn any of the above complaints more benefit may be derived in twenty-four hours by adopting the following imple means than is frequently brought about in six months by any other treatment. In bad cases if the Ointment be rubbed into the small of the back over the region of the kidneys, it will quickly penetrate, and, in most instances, give immediate relief. Six or eight of the Pills should be taken nightly according to circum- stances, Diptheria,.Sore Throats, &c. These maladies are of so serious and dangerous a na- ture that the Ointment would not be recommended unless the Proprietor was sure of its effect. It will cure, when every other means have failed, if applied immediately, and not delayed until the patient is beyond recovery. It is a sovereign remedy for sore throats. Settled coughs or wheezing will be promptly removed by mbbing in this unguent. Mothers should rub it into the chest of their infants whenever there is any hoarseness, tightness, or any other affection of breathing. Bad Legs, Bad Breasts.-Old Wounds, Sores and Ulcers. It is surprising how quickly a sore, ulcer or wound, de- prives the body of strength, and unfits it for the duties of life but it is no less wonderful to watch the effect of Holloway's Healing Ointment, when it is used according to the printed directions, and assisted by a >proprisite doses of the llills. The pain, inflammation, and other morbid manifestations, soon disappear from the affected part, and health and strength return. This treatment creates sound flesh, and therefore makes its euros com- plete. Gout and Rheumatism. Will be cured with the greatest certainty if large quan- tities of the Ointment be well worked into the complain- ing parts. This treatment must be perseveringly followed for some time and duly assisted by powerful doses of Hol- loway's Pills. The essence of these diseases lies in the blood, which has floating through each vessel the pain- giving poison which vitiates and inflames every tissue it comes ill ao itact with, and produces the hot, swollen, elastic enlargement about the joints so characteristic of gouty and rheumatic maladies. Both the Ointment and Pills should be used in the following cases.
