THINGS "PALKID 0!’ IN LONDON‘ An art I85 . ’ “ Je m’ennuyais {said the traveller, when asked what he did with himself during. a" rainy week at Potsdam ; and multitudes of our metropolitan lieges say the same of the past few weeks, especially such asare of a migratory lialsit- People gvow weary of the Jrotracted session, and liken themselves to eriana in the moated grunge :'the end of the present month will, however, find them all dispersed, the brief respite accord- ed to the grouse will be over, and London will be lefl to the sighing simpathies of a .‘last man’ or two’ and the regrets of retail- dealers. The time was not altogether lost with our legislators, for they did some things, and talked about others. They recommend- ed, for example, through a committee, that the decimal system should be adopted in our currency, the ound to be taken as the integer, divisible into I000 frnctions- A capital recommendation-—one that does lion- our to the collective wisdom ; and may it be speedily realised ! They did something towards promoting education, with it side- glence at the removal of abuses in endowed schools, and they mean to try in earnest what can be done in the way of reforming juvenile offenders. Of these, the number under seventeen years of age brought before the bar of justice in one year is 13,000, all recruits for the great army of crime, unless. prompt and effectual means can be taken to direct their ingenuity into worthy courses. What these means shall be, will per-he be decided next session ; meenwhilethe mes pithily remarks, that a rest outlay for ex- pensive buildings need rom no part of them. ‘Truly, our children ask, says the writer, ‘if not for bread, for that which isrbettcr than bread, and we give them bricks and’ mortar ;’ and he adds, that great care should be taken not to make the condition of the culprit, during the reformetory pro- cess, preferable to that of the honest and hard-working labourer outside. If these things are really to be carried into efibot, no one will ret that they stand over-till next session, or in such measures there Ought so Isa sin -siasgfi-,_ All who can are ' taking holidays: the Archaeological Association and Institute have been eating lunches and dinners, and studying antiquities in Kent and Sussex. Some of our most diatin ished men of sci- ence have crossed the .5liimnel to compare notes‘ with the sevens of Paris; and others, with knapsack on shoulder, are wandering about Switzerland, invigorating themselves for new studies. Now and then a whisper is heard, that we shall surelyheai-. some- thing of Sir John Franklin before winter comes a in: Dr Vogel writes from 'I‘rI- li, that he is on his way to meet Dr Eflh, and to cross Africa to the Indian Ocean; and there is talk of another explo- ration of the interior of North Australia. Some of our learned men are now inclined to believe, that the great desert said to exist in the interior of that rest country is only imiginary. The ofilcie. s of the British Association are hard at work prepari for the meeting which is to take place .et. , ull; early in September; and it is believed that. meteorological science will have a word to say for itself, especially as a metrelogical congress is to be held’at Brussels during the present month. Government is not allowed to forget its promise of a great oceanic survey. in conjunction with the United States: the ships of Sweden are now totalin- part in it; and besides this, if the Treasury-= will not he‘ miserly, it is to-«be called on to find funds for the establishment of a large reflecting telescope in the southern hemis- h

city, and work the despittcbes without con- tbslon, remains to be proved. ot less so, the French experiment of sending two mes- sages at once along the same wire——it will be a triumph of ingenuity if the respective individunlitien can indeed be preserved.

Balloon-ships are again talked about; Mr Poesche of Philadelphia says, that now we are about to encircle thelwliole earth with telegraph wires, ‘ aerial navigation becomes a logical necessity.’ He proposes to build a fiat-bottomed boat, long and narrow on low wheels, and with a screw. propeller, which being made to rotate, the wheels are set in motion, and the vessel moves over the ground. ‘For the purpose of ascension,’ we are told, ‘the ship is furnished at its sides with large inclined planes of double-glued canvas, stretched upon iron frames, which act like the plane ofa boy's kite. These lanes turn upon lrori axes, which are adjusted under the heavy beam of the deck: let them be fixed at an en la of 45 degrees, and the vessel be propelle rapidly by means of the screw, and the air, compressed by their resistance, will lift the ship.’ Mr Poosche nialies his views public, in order that they may be canvassed, as no doubt they will, by those who are expert enough to see the fallacy of his reasonings. ‘M ship,’he concludes, ‘most nearly resembles the flying-fish, which progress by means ofthe spiral action of the tail, while its extended fins support it for it time in the air. ’

Our engineers are findin something to say about the tunnel under the Alps, which, ifit can be made, is to comics! the Pied- montese railways with those of France, passing right through the mountains from Suse. and Bardoneche to Modana in Savoy, by is line ten miles shorter than over Mont Cenis. The tunnel is to be eight miles in length, and a mile below the surface ofthe pass; the estimated cost a million and a half sterling- Chevalier Mnus, the engineer, has contrived anlexcavating machine, which, by the backward and forward motion of a number of a large chisels, makes deep grooves in the rock, and the masses are

The chevalisr hopes to have the mountain pierced inlive years, and the barrier which separates - Piedmont from her neighbours will be virtually-removed; but lovers of the picturesque will still refer to travel over thehtiountain rather t an under it.

The ranch government is about to establish a system of meteorological obser- vations throughout Algeria, with } view to ascertain the real nature of the climate of that country, as efforts are being made to

row sugar-cane, in igo, and cotton. hue efforts are perhaps prompted by the ambition to show that France can oolonise successfully as well as other countries; at all events, there will accrue some data, of

Apropos of Al er-in, it is a- note- ' worthy fact that 20, Spaniards have re- cently emigrated to that country frdm the ‘barren and ugly province of Murcia; and here we have another commingling of popu- ilutions, which, at some future day, will sore- lysna the i ennity of etbnologists to ac- -count tbs-.' at if the Moors should take a fancy to revisit Spain, and try whether the keys of the cities once held by them, which they religiously keep, still til the locks! lt would be something quite new in the annals of emigration.

Certainly the last Yankee hit upon the

As many of onaircaders as take an interest in our oodfislnllsputes with our transatlantic cou- sins'wlll"ho doubt remember that the case ‘tilde ‘otll 'ln favour of the United States’ ' claims in not what the lawyers would call a cleaa one.

h'5 leglllmflte space to a corpulent fellow- traveller, rather than have a disturbance. This is well enough; but, on all grounds of dipliviiiiscy or international law, the United States hshci-nien have as much right to cast their nets in the waters in dispute as they would have to angle in the Serpentine. Now, not content with their actual position, and doing that which would appear the ob. vious course under the circumstances, our friends in the States are, it is said, about to turn their plea of good vicinege into one of strict legal right. They have introduced upon the scene the Perkin Warbeck of cod- fish, in the shape ofa sham Earl of Stirling. This individual, it will be remembered, en- deavouredto make out his right to the title to the satisfaction of the House of Peers, but sigiinlly failed. Like it longheaded Scotcbmen, as he no doubt is, he appears next to have asked liinisr-lf in what portiuii oi the world his mockery title would be likely to stand him in best slcnd. No one could for B. moment doubt that the States are the most favourable market for aristo- cratic pretensions. Ifa tnuii with it handle l_° l“5 "W119, as the vulgar phi-use runs, leels tliatlhe does not get so strong a dose of adulation in Europe as his heart would desire, let him spend ll few months among the citizens of the great Republic, and he “fill come back to Europe prepared to sub- side into plain John Sriiitli for the term of his natural life. But the Earl of Stirling ias a double claim to American respect. Not only is he is nobleman, or at least claims to be one, but he carries in his pock- et grants ofall the codfish that ever swam, or will swim in the sees, in one pocket, and probably it grant of all the egg-sauce in the world in the other. He buses his claim on his hercditar rights by virtue of four charters, granted in l62l, i695‘ I627, and I698, to his ancestor, Sir Williiim Alexander, ofMenstrie, Scotland, Viscount of Canada, Viscount and Earl of Sterling, and Earl ofDovnn. There is it fine coit- ciulenulion of names to tickle the imagina- tion ofa Republican diploinatist! \’\'t.- can only say, ifour American friends _.'.’ti[lill..‘ 5’ .',?lZfé‘n§a"...”.T, $35? .l'aii'i.‘.i'TiiZ -l°y ""'°"gh°'“ "“ liiohlands and the low- lands ofrugged Scotia.

VVhen pseudo claims are held to be market- able ware, it great fillip will be administered to the ingenuit of dealers in such commer- cial articles. ow perfectly the thing can be accomplished is proved by the collec- tion of memoirs which were given to the world from the Paris press, when public curiosity desired such food. Why should not our American friends make it hold stroke of it at once, and buy up the grants given by the Pope to the Crowns of Spam and Portugal just about Columbus's time? We ourselves have it claim to sovereignty over broad France; to be sure, some idle persons might say that we had formally given it up, but we are not indisposed to treat with the Cabinet of W'asliington for its sale. It will always be competent to them to treat the renunciation as it nnll_ity;‘ —indeed, a go many fine things might be said upon that side of the question. ‘Of course, the difiiculty remains as to taking possession, but that is it purchaser’s ques- tion. The Emperor of Austria lately was, and may be still, for aught we know, King ofJerusalcm. A bid for the Holy Places just now might be is keen stroke of busi- ness. Just so with the Fisheries. Has not the Earl of Stirling parchments to show? Besides, has not Mr. Robert J. Walker lately visited England and Scotland, and has he not come to an opinion upon the Earl of Stirling’s legal rightsdinmetrically opposed to that of the English House of Peers? Of course this is conclusive upon the subject. Mr. . J. Walker, in his pro- per persou, constitutes the proper tribunal to try disputed questions relating to the English Peerage. He is what one may call a court of competent authority. Back- ed by his cuquatur, the fishing indeed be invaluable. The English en- thorities burn to acknowledge theirvalidity.

What is most ridiculous'as ct do these provinces present to the wor d ! Here are fi"° °“l‘°"' 3 three entirely iunseparsted by water and the other two lying no-,nQQr that a _regulsr communication is easily main- tamed--the inhabitants of -all bein similar in manners and pursuits-—all ape iing the same language, with slight excep us,‘l all llllljecl to the government of Great If tnin, and yet, with so many causes for uni- on the have. scarcely more unity of action than I their inhabitants were barbarians to finch other. But whenever ‘Colonial Union Is propoundcd by one of its few advocates up starts some non-progressive spirit and asks, how such is union ‘is to be effected. Such an enquiry, we were about to any, should be treated with inefiii scout. Vl hat ! are none of our Colonial Stateamen, of whosetalents we hearso much, advquate to the simple task of framing is obmrnon constitution for the benefit of all the CH0.- mesy leaving each the management of its own alluirs? We must believe that many ol them are fully competent ; but, their ac- cursed party squabbles and contentions for lhv peoples’ money leave them no time to attend to this important subject.

How the measure is to be effected is not the province of the public Journalist to show ; ‘ll belongs rather to the Statesman or Legullntoi-' It is enough for us to know thst it is necessary to the full and perfect developement of all our Colonial resources, and for the protection of our interests, that such a scheme is necessary.
