The resHlt ia such a combination of circles eutting each other in all qnarters , and throwing so many districts of tke city nnder Sre , as is certaialv unrivalled in the history of popular protection .

      Htdro-Electbic Machine . —A new machine , called the hytiro-ekctrio , invented by Mr . Armstrong , and -which is said to be of greater power than any elecirieal machine befere constructed , was exhibited on Thursday evemHg at the PolywchBie lnstitniion . The experiments performed were very brilliant , and went far to prove the assertion made respecting it . A shaving of wood was ignited by the electric Bparfe , asd an immense battery was charged by it in the short space of eleven seconds . The principle on which this machine is constructed is simple . It consists of a common tubular boiler , isolated by means of glass sopporters , and a telescope chimney , capable of being lifted off . The steam is

      let off by means of curved tubes , opening upon a box filed with a row of iron spikes , on which the steam is condensed . The steam , on being let loose carries away the positive electricity from the boiler , leaving it in a negative state . The equilibrium is then restored to the boiler by means of a conductor brought near to it , and the electric spark is elicited . A novel kind of microscope , invented by Mr . Longbottom , was also exhibited . It r < fleeted the objects upon a white ground , brisging out all the colours most perfectly . Several medallions were exhibited by it , and tbe effect was tolerable tood ; but the arrangements , as we understood , were in an imperfect state—A ihtuceum .

      The MAKEPACruBES of VieiiTU . —Cotton weaving , is carried on extensively in "Vienna ; but the yarn is imported from ILngland , the native spiDners not b ^ ing able to co mpete with tho ? e of Manch ester , who possess far greater advantages . To mention one only ; the Manchester spinners have & railroad to Liverpool , which enables them to purchase the cotton in saaller quantities , as they may want it . They may aee it np to-day to the last thread , and send to-morrow to Liverpool for a new supply . It is therefore easy to follow every variation of price , buy Email quantities when it ib dear , and larger when it is cheap ; whereis thaBpianers of Vienna , whether they will or not , most lake large QBaEtities at any price , lest their work shoald come altogether to s stand-still .

      Pbopertt m Cincikhatt . —Some idea of the rapid rise of property , in Cincinnati , may be formed from the following fact stated in ^ the Enquirer . Forty years ago the ^ Presbyterian Society of that city purchased an entire block situated on the corner of Foartli and Walnut-streets , for sixteen dollars . A few days sinca a twenty-second part of the original block , composing a lot of ninety-nine feet waB rented for 841 dollars per annum , which , at six p * r cent , interest is eqnal to a value of U . 025 : dollars . If the entire block is calculated at the same rateand this ninety-ninei feet is not more value than the average of the property—if now in market , and divested of the improvements made upon it . it would not be worth less than 314 , 550 , or almoBt 20 , 000 timeB its original cost . :

      The Ferocity op the Royal Bengal Tiger . — In June last during the rain ? , as a native boatman was paddling in hiB " dinghte" off the shore , near the estate of Mr . Broa&bead , in tbe Snnderbunda , he espied a royal Bengal tiger fast making up to him . He immediately redoubled his speed , but finding his adversary rapidly gaining upon him , he became alarmed for his safety , and abandoning his canoe , plunged into the water . The sanguinary brute , nothing disappointed , still continued to pursue his natant quarry , the man diving the instant he found bis enemy approaching him . As the poor fugiof

      tive rose to the surface , f or the ^ nrpose venting , he was capable of distinguishing the relative position between himself and the tiger , and contrived by that means to keep at a safe distance from his pursuer , nntil the latter , completely worn out and exhausted , and finally foiled in his sangninary object , tnrned back towards the jungle whence he proceeded . Had the boatman remained in his "dinghee ' he would , most certainly , have been carried off , as it is a very common occurrence for the " dandees " ( l alive boatmen ) to ba " pHkerowed" by tigers whilst in the act of paddling : their canoes in the various rivers and " nullahs" of the Sunderbund * . —Bombay

      paper . Death in thb Queen's Pbison . —An inquest was holden on Monday in the Queen ' s Prison before Mr . Payne , city coroner , respecting th ^ deatSi of Mesheok Rowley , aged 44 , an inmate of the prison , who liad died , it was alleged , from the want of the common necessaries of life . When the jury had returned from viewing the body , the Coroner said , it had been intimated to him that some of the prisoners wished to be present during the inquiry . Such aa desired it were at liberty to come into the conn , and , perhaps , some one among them would be able to throw Borne light upon the matter . Several of the inmates of the prison then entered the court , including among them Mr . R . Oastler . Sarah Hines , of 12 , Bermondsey New-road , was first examined She stated that she knew the deceased , and had worked for him for the last ttre years . He had been in prison a much longer time than that . He had been ill for the last twelve months . He received

      medical attention , but he continued to get worse until twelve o ' clock on Saturday , when he died . She knew that he had often been without food , and had frequently offered him things , bat he always declined to accept them . Sometimes he was in want of victuals , and had not the means of getting any . He was occasionally without food during the winter , and he always refused what she offered him . Mr . W . Rowiev , of Union-street , Newingtou Causeway , said he was cousin to the deceased . He frequently used to visit deceased formerly , but had not done so recently . Deceased had been incarcerated in the prison upwards of ten years , and for the lastmue months witness had not seen him . Mr . Richard Oastler Dext stated , that abont ten days or a

      fortnight ago two gentlemen came into his apartments in the prison and informed him that deceased was in want of food , and was literally nothing more than skin and bone . After consulting together as to tbe best course to purBue , they decided upon waiting on Captain Hudson , the Marshal , and reprinting the case to him . They were most courteously received by that gentleman , and he ( Mr . Oastler ) believed that Captain Hudson had since done all that could bedone for the deceased . Wine had been ordered , and everything that was wanted by deceased was supplied to him . Mr . Oastler further said , that the prisoners confined in that prison desired to make known to an intelligent jury , such as was then present , that there were many persons confined there whose feelings

      were most bitterly stung . There were also several who were so proud that they would not submit to the degradation of swearing they were not wonh £ 10 . They would rather die than be subjected to be termed a pauper prisoner . It ought to be made known to the world , that if their creditors were determined to keep them there , they ( the creditors ) ought to be obliged to furnish them with food and ether necessaries . Major William Willan , an inmate of tbe prison , said that deceased bad been for a longtime without a bed to He upon , so destitute was fce . Witness had often relieved him . The original illness he ( the witness ) had no doubt was brought on from want . Captain Hudson deposed , that deceased had been in the receipt of 9 a per week for a considerable time , and besides that be ( the

      marshal ) had given him money , and he had also received different snms from other quarters . Aa soon as his condition became known , a comfortable bed was provided for him , and other comfortB and necessaries . Included ia the 9 s was the coun < y allowan e . Mr . Jacobs , late M . P . for Dungarvan , said that there was an odium cast upon-the prisoners who received county money , on account of being obliged to take tbe oath , and being cast in the rear of the building . Mr . Jacobs said he knew a man at present confined in the prison who had not Bat down to a meal tor a month , because ho would not take the oath . After some further observations from one or two of the inmate ? , the coroner summed up the evidence , and the jury returned a verdict of " Natural death . "

      Machineey a > d Hakd Labovr . — The population [ of Sheffield ] differs in several important respects from that ot many other manufacturing districts . The labouring classes aie higher in intelligence , morality , and physical condition , than where machinery is extensivrly osed , as in Manchester , Leeds , Nottingham , and jstoekport . The middle classeB are a greater proportion of the population than in these towns . The merchants and manufacturers among us are not men of large capital , exercising immense influence . They are very far from treading . on the heels of the aristocracy . These striking differences may be traced to the degree in which machinery is employed in tho several important branches of manufacture . In this town , jio improvements . can

      supersede , to any great extent , the necessity for adult manual labour , as in the cotton , the woollen , and the silk departments ; consequently we perceive less misery , destitution , aud itnorance amonsi the arinns , and also less « f the other extreme—opulence , and its extravagance—than in eima-tions where the machine cheapens to the starving point the labour of the industrious mechanic . Many facts will be adduced in tbe subsequent pages in confirmation of these assertions . * * . * The artizans have usually an entire house for themselves , and tho cases are indeed rare in which two families are found under the same roof . In Manchester nearly twelve per cent , of the population live in collars ; and in the

      borough of Liverpool there is the immense number of 7 , 862 inhabited cellars . In this town we do not know of one , and we are informed by the intelligent superintendent of the police that there is not an inhabited cellar . This is somowuat lemarkable . It would naturally bu supoosed , that where the largest fortunes were accumulated—where w ? al h , in fact , most abounded , the concHon of the labouring classes would be the most independent and comtbna »» le . Such , however , appear / a not to be the case . We have no heshat on in asserting , that the artizans here , as a body , are vaprly superior in inrelligeuce , independenetf , " aid in the command of the nscessaries and luxuries of life , to the same claBs in the above-mtntioued towns . — Vital Statistics cfShtj ? eh *

A companion shot one of tke auimaL—t : ie other fl .-d . The buffalo , or mountain elk , C-tijs M . Audubmi ) , is nothing in comparison to ti : ? s animal , in tho scale of worcn . It sits on its hind It-gs- '; its front k ^ s or arms are shorf , but armed wi'h shurt claws , and they bound

      or jamp wiih their hind legs . They have a tail somewhat iifee that of a sheep , about ten inches long ; and round the middle of the tody they have a ring of flesh about twelve inches wide and eight inches thick in the middle or centre , which produces a large quantity of oil . On their headBthey have two horns very similar to the horns of the deer , but not more than eighteen inches long ; the head is shaped aiso very lske that of the deer , and haB the same kiud of teeth ; but what is more remarkable than all the rest , their coat is of the most beautiful fur I ever beheld , of a dark brown colour . Tho proportions of the one we killed were very great ; it weighed , to the best of oar calculation , upwards of COOlbs ., and it measured from the top of the head to the end of the tail nine feet four inches , which appears to be their fall grown sixe . We had no sooner killed this one of the

      than some Indians , attracted by the report rifle , joined ns . Oar interpreter conversed with them : they said that in these woodlands these animals were in great abundance . They called it is their tongue the ke-ko-ka-ki , or jumper : they fed ¦ Brass , herbs , and foliage . TJpbn observing ob take off the ikin , the Indians expressed a desire t » have tome of its fleah , which we gave them . We cooksd Bomerf the same , and found it delioious ; it was very white and tender , and tasted Very Bimilar to veal ; bnt the ring on the body was nearly all oil , and the whole npper part will produce a great quantity . The Indians took as to their huts or village , wbioh consisted but of six families : . there we saw no less than six of these auimals domesticated , ( two young ones , male and femak ) whicb I bartered some beads for and inuad to send down to the fort the first . opportunity .

      Entertainment to the Sons of Burns—The visit of Colonel William Nicol Barns , second son of tho poet , to his aunt , Mra . Begga , at JMdgehousecoUage , on . Wednesday last , has jjivea rise to a proposal , originating , we believe , with some of the Edinburgh admirers of the bard , that as the three surviving sons of Burns are all at present ia Scotland , they ought to be invited to a public entertaiameat on the banks of the Doon , at as early a period as the necessary preparations will admit . If a meeting of this kind could bo accomplished—if the sohb of Burns accept the invitation , and were the arrangements properly gone about—we venture to say that the banquet would be one of the most magnifloient and nunv-rously attended ever witnessed in this country—Ayr Observer .

" " Why marm , you perceive than when the nocturnal hour is so far procrastinated by a superabundant application of the oleaginous , acidulous , piporine , mustardifio , oviparous components of a crustaecio-piscatory salad , and its vinous and alcoholic accidents , an undue expansion of the stomachic integuments ensues , which in the progress of its constipating iiiflueacea , stigmatises the cerebral functions , confuses the nervo-oi > tio system and gives a ' scope' to the'horrors .

      A New Mode of Extorting Monet . —A . correspondent states , that an extensive gang of swindlers have eraployed a number of young women , in this town and neighbourhood , who borrow children , and call on clerks at the offices of their employers , to extort money for alleged children , and often from parties who have never seen theia before : and innocent young men , rather than have tho suspicion rsised by their employers , have become their dupes . Tney also call at private houses when the men are absent , and allege that they have been keeping a child for the owner . Some person of nerve should detect and expose these vagabonds . —Liverpool Mercury .

      Ancient Coins . —A singular discovery of ancient silver took place a few days since at Lower Cumberland Villa , ilear Bristol , tho residence of Robert Smart , Esq . A man whilst employed in digging in . the garden attached to this villa , was very suddenly arrested iu his labours by the implement which he was using coming in contact with a hard and heavy substance . On separating the particles eomposing it a quantity of silver coins was discovered , some portion of them much discoloured , and the

      surface of them considerulby roughened , presenting , in fact , the appearance assumed by metals after having been submitted to the action of fire . The mottoes of some of the coins are still legible , and three of them present on the obverse the bust of good Queen Bess , although considerably effaced ; on tbo reverse of these sre , the royal arms and the datoa 1571 , 72 and 95 . There are also coins of the reigns of Edward 6 th , Charles 2 nd , and of other sovereigns of England . How and when these treasures were secreted may long remain a mystery .

      generally understood that R . B . Maoleod , younger , of Cadboll , intended to revisit his paternal roof on Tuesday last , after a long absence , the spirited inhabitants of Invergordon resolved to meet him in procession , and greet him with a suitable address . Unfortunately , however , Church pblitios ( which it might have been better to lay aside on such an occasion ) prevailed , and divided the procession into two unfriendly parties , each furnished with an address , eager to present it . On meeting the carriage , a highly respectable gentleman ( Mr . Gregor , banker ) , of moderate Cburch politios , essayed to read an address , which was speedily snatched out of his hands , aad tors to pieces . A non-intrusionist made a similar attempt , attended with a like result , when a row commenced , which ended ia a manner fatal to several eo&t'tails and hats .

      Fires in the Metropolis . —Oa Friday night ( Sept . 22 ud ) , several fires occurred . One at Mr , Webber ' s , coaohmaker , Lambeth . The fire originated iu the workshop attached to Mr . Webber ' s residence , and , from the combustible nature of the materials which were deposited in it , it soon fell a victim to the devastating element . The flames ascended to a great height , and illumined the sky for mai > y mile 3 round ; in consequence , several fireeutiues , and great crowds of persons were immediately on tho spot . It was early ascertained , however , that it would be futile to attempt to save the workshop ; but as the supply of water was plentiful , and a constant stream vras kept up , tho house attached and adjoining premises sustained little

      damage . Just as the firemeu had sacceeded in getting this fire somewhat under , information was received ihat a destructive ouo had broken out in the Waterloo-road ,- whither several of the engines at this time , then about to return home to their respective stations , immediately proceeded , and on the first arriving ( which was chat belonging to tho Watlirii ? -street station ) , it was found to be raging on the premises of Mr . Harvey , cabinetmaker , and uphols tercr , situate on the tast side of the above road , within a few doors of St . John ' s Church . There being a ready supply of water the first engine was immediately got to work , Mr . Braidwood having directed tho hoso to bo conducted through the adioining houses on to the roofa , so as to enable thf .

      firemen to have a better command of the devouring element . In the moaatiino ovher of the brigade < -ngine * had come up , and not a moment was lost in getting them into play , but it was evident to tlirm all that the destruction of the premises was almost inevitable , as the flames were rushing out with great violence from almost every aperture in the building . Tho brigademen exerted themselves , however , to their utmost , adopting every practicable boheme which would ; end to check the ravages of iho five , and after three quarters of an hour of hard toil , they so far fuccee ten in their purpose a 3 to confine the fire to the premises ia which it originated , although tht-y are all but destroyed . The inmates , it is understood , escaped without receiving the

      slightest injury , but iho loss of property must be considerable , and wlieihcr it is msured or not , owing to the great confusion , could n ^ t be ascertained . Another alarming coufhgration broke out ou the premises of Mr ^ Li » g , work-ing eutler , Jewin-sireet , Aldersgate , the upper floor of whose house is occupied as a workshop . His men left theyr work at the usual hour last evening , when the lights were extinguished and everything left apparently safe . The alarm was given almost simultaneously about halfpast nine o ' e-ock , by a resident iu the lower part of the house , who perceived a strong smell of fire , and by a policeman , who observed the glare of light through the factory windows , and so completely had the destructive element worked its way , that before the first engine arrived the fUmea had penetrated

      the roof and threatened the eutire destruction of the premises . . Before ten o ' olook , however , several engines were got to work , and by the judicious use of » copious Eupply of water , the fire was confined to the upper Btories of the house . At one period the n flection of the flamea was visible in all parts of the metropolis ; and it is a most fortunate circumstance that the fire originated in the upper floor , asunder other circumstances the consequences would necessarily have been much more serious . The workshop contained several large iron vices and other heavy machinery , which it was feared even after the fire was sot unc / cr , wou ! d carry the floors wich them . Tho loss sustained byjiMr . L'n * must'be very serious , though t-lio propevty was undeistood to bo partly insured .

After removing a large mass of ear h of a tumular form , and a large stone beneath it , a tomb was discovered in perfect preservation . It jwas formed of slabs cemented together with a wax ; like substance , which , on exposure to the air . acquired the hardness of stone . In the tomb were found a massive gold chain about nineteen feet in length , the link * of which were round , and six in numbjer ; six small arrows , formed of transparent flim ; ithree lance heads , one of which was of solid silver , about eighteen inchea in length , and a sword .

      London Corn Exchange , Moxdat , Sept . 25 . — During the past week , as well as fresh up for market , coastwise and by land carriage , a fair average time of year supply of English Wheat has been received . As the quality of tho new Wheat was by no means firs : rate , and the supply of old vary small , the former sold ut prices fully equal to those obtained on this day se ' nnight , while old parcels were 1 * per qr . dearer , with a , fair inquiry , and scarcely anything remained over unsold .

      Notwithstanding the show of fine Foreign Wheat was larger , that article met an active demand , and in some instances higher prices , say 1 ? per qr . There was very little English Barley on show , bat the supply of Foreign being good caused the trade to rule heavy , and the rates suffered an abatement of la per qr . The Malt trade again ruled dull , nevertheless we can notice no alteration in prices . In Beans not much was doing , at late rates . Grey Peas were scarce , and the turn higher . The Flour trade ruled slow , at previous quotations .

Still , however , they were fully equal to meet the wants of the buyers . Although the general quality of the bullock s apply was very inferior , as regards its weighing qu ilities , scarcely any cases of the prevailing epidemic was observed " amoBgst it . Owing to the number of really prime beasts being small , the demand for them was ou tho whole steady , at prices fult 7 equal to those obtained oa Friday last , or from 31 8 J to 33 lOd . per 8 ibs ; but otherwise the beef trade , wag in a depressed state , aad previous rates with difficulty supported . The supply of Sheep amounted to a fair average , but their Quality was

      by no means first rate . The Mutton trade was decidedly healthy , but we oan notice no improvement in last week ' s currencies , those of the best old Downs ruling at from 4 s to 4 s 4 dper 81 bs , at which a good clearance was made . As the lamb season may now bo considered aa rapidly drawing to ft close , this is the last time we shall make any distinction between the prices of Lamb and Mutton . Oa Friday Lambs sold briskly at an advance of front 2 J to 4 i per 81 bs , but to-day the trade was exoessivoly heavy , and a depression of quite 4 d per 8 lbs was submitted to in figures , the very highest not exceeding 4- 81 per 8 ibs .

By the love ye bear each other , By the knowledge yon obtain , Ones unite as friend sad brother—This -srOl freedom ' s battle gain . Seen your children -will be taken From the lil ^ consusaisg mill , And voor shoots of joy awakes Every poise to rapture's ttiriU . At the sieklv loom no longer Toa win toU for felon fere ; TFhen the people prove the stronger , Kature *» biesangs all "will share .

      Then for you the earth its treasure In abund&ace "will bestow ; IdfeTrilJ flroB be crown'd with pleasure , And each heart with joy o ' exnVir . Brighter than the dsira "when breaking O ' er the "wild unfettered sea , "Will be the hour when ^ dl awaking Shall determine to be free . I * edi Davjd Boss .
