A _ ull volume of hydrogen is veryrarely obtained, and either gas may be obtained in exoessb changing the size of the elec- trodes. lectrodes with a large surface, whether positive or negative, evolve less gas then fine slender wires. one onl of the elements of water is obtained by a’ diuymrnetrical voltamster, - it must be ad- mitted that the one which is not disengaged must combine with the l' uid or become condensed on the plates.‘ inouyd of hy- drogen is produced when hyd it alone is evolved, and the hydro nsted liquid produced on the evolution 0 water p see new properties. a decomposition of’ water never ensues without some change in the terininel wires, slow, but continuous.

Ciiirtrsu Siiors.——Psssing into some genuine Chinese street I came to the con- clusion that, altogether, Canton presented the most extraordinary sight I ever be- held. The streets are very narrow, and hung about in all directions with signs and sdvcrtizements. Every shop has a large upright board on each side of the door, usually painted white,and on it, in red or black letters, is inscribed a list of all the articles sold. Other signs are hung out over the street and some are fixed to poles reaching from one side of the street to the other. Many bore pulling advertisements, such as, ‘ This Old and listablished Shop,’ Q-c. ; ‘ The refulgent sign. Original Ma- ker of the finest Quality of Ca s, ' &.c. ; Canton Security Banking Estab ishment;’ and; No Two Prices was a very common notification. The Chinese writing looks very well in this way; and being generally red letters upon white,-‘black, upon red or yellow, and blue upon white, the array of signs had a "most gaudy and extraordinary effect. In addition to this, the shops are all open infroiit,-and a large ornamented paperlanternis hung over the door. The best llredl.” the Regent Street of Canton, was called Curiosity or Physic street, from the number of curiosity and druggist’s shops in it. The former are very attract- ive, and have some curious collections of old bronze and old chine, which is always very highly prized by the Chinese,who va- lue any thing that is old and strange, and will give higher prices for old china than we sheii d give in England. Jade stories, which look like green opaque glass, carv- ings in bamboo, and innumerable other things ‘are among the wares. The carved rhinoceros horns are very handsome, and look, .wlien fixed in a carved wood stand. like cornucopiss. They are‘ rather expen- sive, fetching £8 or £ l0;but it is dith- cult for a stranger to buy anything realiy good. The best carvings are done in the cities of the interior, .und residents pick them up at the death of mandsrins and rich men, where their effects are generally

sold. {Elwes’s Sketcher’s Tour.]
