      Htdbo-Flfcteic Mjchi-ne . —A new machine , called the hydro-eleciric , invented by Mr . Armstrong , and which is ^ aid to be of greater power tnaa any tleetrical machine befsre constructed , was exhibited on Thursday evening at the Polytechaic Institution . The experiments performed were very brilliant , and went far to prove the assertion made respecting it . A shaving of wood was ignited -by ihe electric spark , sad an immense battery wag charged by it in the short space of eleven seconds . The principle on which this machine is constructed is Bimple . It consists of a common tubular boiler , isolated by means of glasssBpporters , and a telescope chimney , capable of beiDg lifted off . The steam is

      let off by means of curved tnbes , opening upon a box filled with a row of iron spikes , on which the sieam is condensed . The steam , on being let loose carries away the po = itjve electricity from the boiler , leaving it in a negative state . The equilibrium is then restored to the boiler by means of a conductor fcroDjiht near to it , and the electric spark is elicited . A novel kind of microscope , invented by Mr . Longbottom , was also exhibited . It rfflfcted the objects npon a white ground , briBgipg out ill the coloara must perfectly . Several medallions were exhibited by it , and the tSsct was tolerable good ; but the arrangements , a ? we understood , were in an imp&rfeet state—Aihtnceum .

They may ase it np to-day to the last thread , and send to-moTTOw to Liverpool for t , new supply .

      Pbopertt in Cihctiwatt . —Some idea of the rapid rise of property in Cincinnati , may be formed from the Following fact stated in tbe Enquirer . Forty years ago the Presbyterian Society of that city purchased an entire block situated on the corner of Fourth and Walnut-streets , for sixteen dollars . A few days since a twenty-second part of the original block , composing- a lot of ninety-nine feet was rented for 841 dollars per annum , which , at six pf r cent , interest 1 b equal to a valne of 14 , 025 dollars If the entire block is calculated at the same rateand this ninety-nine feet is not more value than the average of the property—if now in market , and divested of the improvements made upon it . would not be worth leas than 314 , 550 , or almost 20 , 000 times its original cost .

      The Ferocity op the IIotal Bengal Tiger . — In June last during the rains , as a native boatman was paddling in bis " dinghee" off the shore , near the estate of Mr . Broadhead , in the Sunderbunds , he espied a royal Bengal tiger fast making up to him . He immediately redoubled bis 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 bis natant qnarry , the man diving the instant he found bis enemy approaching him . As the poor

      fugitive rose to the surface , for the jnrpose of veniing , be was capable of distinguishing the relative position between himself and the tiger , and contrived by chat msans to keep at a safe distanoo from his pursuer , until the latter , completely worn out and exhausted , and finally foiled in his sanguinary object , turned 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 " ( native boatmen ) to be " pakerowed" by tigers whilst in the act of paddling their canoes in the various rivers and " nullahs" of the Sunderbunds . —Bombay

      paper . Death in thb Qcben ' s Prison . —An inquest was holden on Monday in the Queen ' s Prison before Mr . Payne , city coroner , respecting the deata of Meeheck Rowley , aged 44 , an inmate of the prison , who had died , it was alleged , from tbe want of the common necessaries of life . When the jury had returned from viewing tbe body , the Coroner said , it had been intimated to him that some of the prisoners wished to be present during the inquiry . Such as desired it were at liberty to come into the court , and , perhaps , some one among them would be able to throw some 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 twe 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 be had often been without food , and had frequently ofivred him things , but he always deolined 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 . Rowley , of Union-street , Hewingtou CanBeway , 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 last nine months witness bad not seen him . Mr , Richard Oastler next stated , that about 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 the best oourse to pursue , they decided upon waiting on Captain Hudson , the Marshal , and representing the case to him . They were most courteously received by that gentleman , and he ( Mr . Oastler ) believed that Captain Hudson had since done all thatcould bedone for the deceased . Wine had been ordered , and everything that was wanted by deceased was supplied to him . Mr . Oastler farther said , that the prisoners coufined in that prison desiied 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 Bwearing they were not worth £ 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 determbed 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 the prison , said that deceased had been for a long time without a bed to lie upon , so destitute was he . 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 s per week for a considerable time , and besides that he ( the

      marshal ) had given him money , and he had also received differen * sums from other quarters . As soon as his condition became known , a comfortable bed was provided for him , and other comfortB and necessaries . Included ia the 9 * was the county allowan e . Mr . Jacobs , late M . P . for Dungarvan , said that there wa = an odium cast npon the prisoners who received county money , on account of being obliged to take the 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 sat down to a meal for a month , because he would not take the oath . After some further observations from one or two of the inmates , the coroner summed up the evidence , and the jury returned a verdict of " Natural death . "

      Machtneet and Hand Labopb . —The population [ of Sheffield ] differs in several important respect 9 from ( hat oi many other manufacturing districts . The labouring classes are higher in intelligence , morality , and physical condition , than where machinery is extensivrly used , as in Manchester , Leeds , Nottingham , and atockport . Tho middle classes 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 the several important branches of manufacture . In this town , no 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 peroeive less misery , destitution , and unorance amonu the arizins , and also less ef the other extreme—opulence , and itscxtra . vsgar . ce—than in ruinations whtre the machine cheapens to the starving point the labour of the industrious mechanic . Mfiny facts will be adduced in the subsequent pages in confirmation of these assertions . * * * The artizana have usuaily an eiifire house for themselves , and the case ? are indeed rare in which two families are lound under the 68 me 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 uot an inhabited cellar . This is somewhat xemarkable . It would na-. urally be supposed , that whoro ihe largeat fortunes were accumulated—where weal h , in fact , most abounded , tho condition of the labouring classes would bo the most independent and comiortable . Such , however , appears not to be the case . We have no besiJ . itfon in asserting , that the artiz ^ ns here , as a body , are vastly superior in intelligence , independence , aad iu the command of the necessaries and luxuries of life , to tho same class in the above-nnrntioned towns . — Vital Statistics cf Sheffield ,

      Discoveiiy of a New Quadrupeo . —M . Audur > on , the cecbrated r . aturalist , in a letter of tho 20 th ef June la > t , v . -r t'f ; n HO miles above Fort Union , in latitude 41 . 10 IS ., communicates , ** with a transport of pleasure , " the " discovery of an animal which bids fair lo become not . only a valuable but a domestic one . " He h * d laksn Ttfnz . 6 in a wood during a storm , and saw two enormous beasts at play , aich as ho had never seen or heard of before , but somewhat reseiLb . 'fng a kangaroo . A companion shot one of the animals—the other flid . The buffalo , or mountain tlk , ( .-ays M . Auduboii ) . is nothing in comparison to th's animal , in the scale of wortti . It sits on its hind legs ; its front legs or arms are short , bat armed with short claws , and they bouud

      or jump wi'h their hind less . They have a tail anniowhai like that of a sheep , about ten inches long ; and ronna the middle of the tody they have a ring of flesh about twelve incheswide and eight inches thick in the middle or centre , which produces a large quantity of oil . On their heads they have two horns very fcimiiar to the horns of the deer , but not more than eighteen inches long ; the head ia shaped a ^ so very like that of the deer , and haB the same kind of teeth ; but what is more remarkable than all the rest , their coat is of the most beautiful far I ever beheld , of a dark brown colour . The proportions of the one we killed were very great ; it weighed , to the best of oar calculation , upwards of 6001 bs ., and it measured from the top of the bead to the end of the

      tail nine feet four inches , which appears to be their fall grown sita . We had no 800 fler killed this one than some Indians , attracted by the report of the rifle , joined U 3 . Oar interpreter conversed with them : they said that in these woodlands these animals wars in great abundance . They called it ia their tongue the ke-lo-ka-ki , or Jumper : theyted ou grass , herbs , i and foliage . Upon observing us take off the kin , the Indians expressed a desire to have some of its flesh , which we gave them . We cooked some of the same , and found it delicious ; it was very white and tender , aDd tasted very similar to veal ; but the ring on the body was nearly all oil , and the whole npper part will produce a great quantity . Ths Indians took us to their huts or village , which consisted but of six families : there we saw no less than

      six of these animals domesticated , ( two yenng ones , male and femalt ) which I bartered somo beads for and intend to send duv > n to the fort the first opportunity .

      EATfi » TAJKMENr JO THE SONS OF BURNS—The visit of Colonel William Nicol Burns , second son of the poet , to his aunt , Mrs . Begga , at Bridgehousecottage , on Wednesday last , has given 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 entertainment on the banks of the Doon , at us early a period as the necessary preparations will admit . If a meeting of this ; kind could be accomplished—if the sons of Bums accept the invitation , and were the arrangements properly gone about—we venture to say that the banquet would be one of the most magnifioient and numerously attended ever witnessed in this country—Ayr Observer .

A man whilst employed in digging in the garden attached to this villa , was very suddenly arrested in his labours by the implement which he was using coming in contact with a hard and heavy substauce . On separating the particles composing it a quantity of silver coins was discovered , some portion of them much discoloured , and the surface of them conBidcralby 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 the reverse of these are , the royal arms and the datos 1571 , 72 and 95 . There aro also coins of the reigns of Edward 6 tb , Charles 2 nd , and of other sovereigns of England . How and when these treasures were secreted may long remain a mystery .

      Invbrgordon . —A Singular Scene . —As it was generally understood that R B . Macleod , 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 politics ( 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 respectab ' e gentleman ( Mr . Gregor , banker ) , of moderate Church politics , essayed to read an address , which was speedily snatched out of his hands , and torn to pieces . A non-intrusionist made a similar attempt , attended with a like result , when a row commenced , which ended in a maansr fatal to several coat-tails and hats .

      Fires in , the Metropolis . —On Friday night ( Sept . 22 nd ) , several fires occurred . Oue at Mr . Webber ' s , ccachmaker , La ' mbuth . Tue fire originated in the workshop attached to Mr . Webber's residence , and , from the combustible nature of t he materials which were deposited in it , it soon fell a victim to the devastating element . The Sanies ascended to a great height , and illumined the sky for maiiy miles round ; in consequence , several fireen ^ iiies , and great crowds of persons were immediately on the spot . It was early ascertained , however , that it would be futile to attempt to save the workshop ; but as tho supply of water was plentiful , and a constant stream was kept , up , the house attached and adjoining premises sustained little

      damage . Just as the firemen hud succeeded in getting this fire somewhat under , iniormatioii was received that a destructive oue 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 , aud on the first arriving ( which was that belonging to ihe Watling-street station ) , it was found to be raging on the premises of Mr . Harvey , cabinetmaker and upholsterer , situate on the tast side of the above road , within a few doors of St . John ' s Church . There b « iug a ready supply of water the first engine was immediately got to work , Mr . Braidwood having directed the hose to be conducted through tlie adjoining houses on to the roofs , so as to enable th s .

      firemen to hftve a better command of tho devouring element . In the meantime , other of the brigade engines had pome up , and not a moment was lost in getting them into play , but it was evident to them all that the destruction of the premises was almost inevitable , as the flames were rushing out who great violence from almost every aperture in tho building . The briRademen excited themselves , however , to their utmost , adopting every practicable schema which would end to check the ravages of the fire , and after three-quarters '' of ah hour of hard ' ¦• il , they so far j ucceedea in thoir purpose as to confine tho fire to tho premises in which it originated , aJihougn th&y are all but destroyed . Tho inmates , it is understood , escaped without receiving tho

      slightest iiijtiry , but the loss © f property must be considerable , and whether it is insured or not , owing to the great confusion , could riot be ascertained . Another alarming oouftigrution broke out on the preuiises Of Mr . Ling , working ( taller , Jewin-street , Aldersxate , the upper floor 6 f vvho 9 e house is occupied aa a workshop . His men left their 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'clock , by a resident in 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 flames bad penetrated the roof and threatened the entire destruction of the premises . Before ten o ' olook , however , several engines were got to work , and by the judicious use of a copious supply of water , tho fire was confined to the upper stories of the house . At one period the reflection of the flames was visible in all parts of the metropolis . ; and it is a most fortunate circumstance that the fire originated in the upper floor , as under 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 foared even after the fire was got under , would carry the floors with them . The loss sustained byjMr . Lint ; must be very seriom , though the propeity was understood to bo partly insured .

      Lonijon Corn Exchange , Mondat , Sept . 25 . — During the past week , as wcli as fresh up for market , coastwise and by land carriage , a fair average time of year supply of English Wheat haa been received . As the quality of tho new Wheat was by no means first rate , and the supply of old very small , the former sold at prices fully equal to those obtained on this day se ' unight , while old parcels were U 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 ia some" instances higher prices , say Is 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 Is per qr .

Still , however , they were fally equal to meet the wants of the buyers . Although the general quality of ihe bullock supply was very inferior , as regards its weighing qualities , soarcely any cases of the prevailing epidemic was observed amongst it . Owing to the number of really prime beasts being small , the demand for them vras on the whole steady , at prices fully . equal to those obtained on Friday JasS , or from 3 s 81 to S 3 lOd per 8 ibs ; but otherwise the beef trade was in a depressed state , asd previous rates with difficulty supported .

On Friday Lambs sold bri « k ! y at an advance of front 2 d to 4 i per 81 bs , but to-tfay the trade wag excessively heavy , and a depression of quite 4 d per 81 b 3 was submitted to in figures , the very highest not exceeding 4- 8 J per 8 ! o 9 , Calves were in moderate supply , and fair demand , at last week ' s quotations .
