And when they list their lean and flashy songs Grate on their scrannel pipes of wretched straw, The hungry sheep look up, and are not fed, But swoln with wind, and the rank mist they draw, Rot inwardly, and foul contagion spread ; Besides what the grim wolf with privy paw 125 Daily devours apace, and nothing said ; But that two-handed engine at the door Stands ready to smite once, and smite no more.

How can the synod of 1638 be so honourably mentioned on this occasion, which prohibited speaking and writing against its views and resolutions, paved the way for the rebellion, and the murder of the king*, and cursed all toleration.

By the veto law the best clergyman is often the most easily re jected, or converted into a machine , who must preach according to the fancy of his hearers.

The ordinary incandescent light, if worked direct from the dynamo , requires two conducting wires to convey the current, and as illumination is specially required in the working places, it seems improbable that the direct system of lighting as is employed on the surface will ever be used underground.

— Many collieries are now pro vided with the electric light underground, but the system extends only a short distance from the shaft. The ordinary incandescent light, if worked direct from the dynamo , requires two conducting wires to convey the current, and as illumination is specially required in the working places, it seems improbable that the direct system of lighting as is employed on the surface will ever be used underground. The working places are naturally moving day by day, falls of roof are common, and as the space is confined, con ducting wires would be quite out of place there.

Situated as we are in India it is hopeless to expect to be able to use as complete or efficient machinery as the English Government can command.

One of the public journals lately stated that the English Govern ment, before undertaking the Survey of Ireland, employed a special Commission to ascertain the accurate orthography of Irish Geographical Names. Situated as we are in India it is hopeless to expect to be able to use as complete or efficient machinery as the English Government can command. But this con sideration will perhaps tend to excuse blemishes in a work which the great variety of the dialects, and the vast extent of the country, renders at least ten times more difficult ; and which had to be executed by a single officer during such spare hours as he could devote to it, after his regular Government work.

Simple-minded readers, perhaps, are apt to take all this for precision of language and accuracy of thought; and rest contented in the belief that there must be in reality some great discovery, and profound depth of thinking, where there are so many learned words — such a formidable apparatus of Greek derivatives — such manifold classifications — subdivisions — and analyses.

I own that I cannot see what is gained by the new and laborious exposition of terms — or the novel classification and arrangement of the Science with which his Lord ship sets out. Simple-minded readers, perhaps, are apt to take all this for precision of language and accuracy of thought; and rest contented in the belief that there must be in reality some great discovery, and profound depth of thinking, where there are so many learned words — such a formidable apparatus of Greek derivatives — such manifold classifications — subdivisions — and analyses. I am obliged to confess my own inability to perceive what Lord Brougham has gained in point of accuracy, by this curious " psychological" display.

Mr. David Dale's cotton-works at New Lanark, which attracted much attention on account of the system on which they were conducted, were built about the year 1780. They comprised four mills, stocked with spinning • machinery, worked by water-power. By the year 1793, Mr. Dale em ployed 1700 persons, of whom nearly half were children under 13 years of age.

The principles ofthe steam engine depend upon two facts: — first, the conversion of water into steam, and then the conversion of steam into water.

But, probably, the most important application of this principle to practical invention is that which more modern times afford — is that by which space and time are so much reduced, that the ends of the earth may, as it were, be said to be brought into contact, and by which we may hope that the lights of civilization and Christianity will be shed over the wide surface of the universal earth ; this important application of inductive science to practical invention was made by the illustrious James Watt. The principles ofthe steam engine depend upon two facts: — first, the conversion of water into steam, and then the conversion of steam into water. Suppose a tube with a cubic inch of water, having upon it a piston or plug, with a weight attached of fifteen pounds, apply to this a lamp, and put a thermometer into the water, when the water rises to 212 it will begin to boil, and the water to pass into steam, and the piston will begin to rise; still continuing the heat, it is found that the piston will have arisen 140 feet.

No engine will be required to pump water, or wind up minerals, &c. and wherever timber is wanted to prop with underground, abundance of fine oak and other trees blown down by the winds, lie scattered about in all directions, and rot ting for want of use.

Nearly all the upper beds of ore can be got by open quar rying, and is a great advantage, besides which, millions of tons of some of the richest ores, could be picked up by hand from the surface, and all the other parts of the ore and coal can be got by level, as it all lies above the surface of Fifteen Mile creek, and the Potomac. No engine will be required to pump water, or wind up minerals, &c. and wherever timber is wanted to prop with underground, abundance of fine oak and other trees blown down by the winds, lie scattered about in all directions, and rot ting for want of use. The ore, charcoal, and anthracite, could nearly all be sent down hill to the furnaces for smelling, and the utmost distance that would ever be required, would only be four miles.

This last was a spectacle indeed, that Mrs. Storn never wearied of beholding ; there was something in the magical quickness with which the engine was pulled out, and the horses were harnessed to, and the firemen took their places, that suited the hurry and activity of her own nature.
