RELIGIOUS. “fateresting Services Westerday in New York City, Brooklyn, New Jersey and Buffalo--Lecture on Ritral’sm by Dr. "Rogers, of New York, in tie Cathedral at Buffalo— ‘Camp Meeting, Dedi- tion Services, &. WORTH DUTCH CHURCH. Sunday with an Old Landmark. ‘The time-biistered, sombre-brown old edifice at the (gorner of Falton and William streets was reopened yesterday for religious services by the Rev. Mr. MoNarr, missionary, and will be open from this date for the usual twelve o’clock prayer meeting on week days. The building, a relic of 1767, has been closed for repairs occasioned by the cutting off of a portion of the rear to be converted to business purposes, and ol@- 2=ditues who re-entered it yesterday found the interior considerably metamorphosed. So high ‘ids business, in fact, for all eligible down town locations, that New Yorkers may expect to see the strange old creation of the last century disappear uly, as did its confrere and counterpart in Beekman street a year or more since; as must the old John street Methodist, where Whitield thun- dered: as must its more magnificent counterpart—like it, though grander—St. Paul’s, on Broadway, by and by; as must Trinity at last; for Business must have room, and whatever stands in the way of the crawl of the monster must yield to the inevitable. Be- Bides, the decreasing resident population of the southern wards of the city year by year renders the congregations of these old landmarks thinner and thinner, until at last the necessity of their existence Must depart altogether, é ‘The old building at the corner of Fulton and William streets has maintained since 1807 a certain peculiar interest in the sustaining of datly noon prayer meet- fogs, which at the ss a jargelv attended, but which latterly have been somewhat neg- lected. When panics occur New York takes to prayers as @ counter-irritant; when the money market is easy again the prayers become @ secondary consideration, The refitting of the interior occasioned by alterations has been done as nearly in harmony with the quaintness of the original interior as possible, and it is now roposed to reopen for week day services 80 long as he old landmark. shall be permitted to last. The Sunday services will consist regularly of Sunday school at nine o’clock in the morning, services at hall-past_ten and evening services at half-past seven. The dally ncon prayer meeting will be con- tinued, beginning with to-day, when tue littie white signboard may be seen swinging over the wicker- ‘work iron gate, and annonncing:—“Prayer meeting &t twelve o'clock this day.” Externally, the yard is still encumbered with con- aiderable rubbish. ‘The services yesterday morning did not attract a 7 large congregation. A few dropped in, and at hali-past ten the house was perhaps half full of a sort of guerilla congregation. The Sunday school Was not put in organization @t all, and at two o’clock in the afternoon some pupils were hanging about to find ont when an organization might be ex- poctea. ‘The superintending missionary conducted he services, and delivered a brief sermon after the usual prayer and devotional singing. Similar ser- Vices were held in the evening, sheogh the congre- gation was very smal. In fact, the Old North now Yanks a8-simply a mission, its éclat having departed With the hegira up town, which has occupied half a century. Habdiiués of the dally prayer meetings— ‘and they have been many—will be glad to leara, however, that the old house is open again to-day, and that the usual combination of one hour's prayer with om ‘hours’ business can be eflected from this date. The prayer meetings are under the control of the Board of Missions and Board of Publication, located m Fulton street, the Rev. Mr. McNair being acting missionary. FREE METHODISTS. The large hali at the corner of Eighth avenue and Eighteenth street, used at present by a congregation Calling themselves Free Metbodista, was filled by a large audience last evening, the occasion being the discourse of the Rev. J. C. Damon, of lowa, who selected for his text II. Corinthians xvit., 17—“"Where- fore come out from among them and be ye separate.” In opening his discourse he said that the Church of the present day was in a terribly demoralized condition. The ministers and! their flocks do not seem to have that love of truth and sincerity in their haracterized the Church twenty There had been tatroduced in various lorms Protestant churches the rites of the Catholic Church, which bad @ tendency to create dissension. He prayed that God im his Mighteousness would in some manner open the eyes of the péople to their condition. ac jan cannot be the companion of saints and ang and at the same time be in open com- munion with devils, God and mammon were two and distinct. The people of God were a special ie from the days of the wanderings of the aelites to the present time. Their mark isin their foreheads. The Jews despised the heathens, and ‘they in turn hated the Jews. This had its lesson to ail. The state of society and the utter disregard for ‘the marriage vows in high and low life wasseverely rebuked by the preacher. “If you love the world ge hate God.” One of the greatest crimes against iis laws was adultery and its consequences, and the numerous secret societies who, under the cloak of religion, despise and trample upon His authority. THE LONG ISLAND CAMP MEETING. Tho Camp at Night—Thousands of Fervent Worshippers in Attendance—Sunday in the Camp and Those Who Went There. Yeaterday the Long Island camp meeting at Mer- mick reached e culmination in point of the num. bers present and the fervor and interest manifested by the assembled thousands in the religious services of the occasion, But for the rain, which fell heavily during the preceding night, and the threatening as- pect of the cloud-covered aky on Sunday morning the numbers in attendance would doubtless have been very much greater; but even as it was there ‘could not have been fewer than 5,000 people present uring the day. When the eamp meeting opened on Tuesday last the arrangements for the accommodation of a large number of regular attendants nad not been com- pleted. By Saturday, however, the camp had been placed in perfect order, and presented, as the writer approached it on Saturday evening, a very striking and picturesque appearance. As one entered Se- mon’s grove, tents, some of them of wood and canvas, met the view to the right and lelt. Passing ‘Up a long, winding pathway in the woods, a biaze of laght suddenly burst on the view; the visitor found himself tn 4 broad avenue lined with tents on each side, and before proceeding far the attention was arrested by a tent different from the rest, inasmuch as it was richly and profusely decorated and festooned with flowers, and presented a very handsome appearance. This was the police tent. There were eight poiice offcers from Brooklyn, under the command of Sergeant T. J. Corneil, of the Forty-first precinct, present. The Sergeant and his meen Were without exception courteous and efficient in the discharge of their important duties. Ata Ritle distance beyond the police tent the visitor found himself in a large square space, lined on all aides with tents and having at the further end the Preacher’s desk, while the space itself was filled ‘With six long rows of benches for the accommoda- tion of worshippers.

Sylvester Malone, its old and revered pastor, to take part In the twenty-fifth anntversary of his ordination and pastorate, the one having fol- lowed the other within a few days. The day was algo the Feast of the Assumption, and the two events were celebrated, with all the grandeur of ceremonial known to the Catholic world, Hayan’s Third Masa was selected for the occasion. Professor Scheiner presided at the grand organ, and @ double quartet Choir was aided by aa orchestra of superior artists, "The mass was celebrated by Father Malone, assisted by Rey.

Dr. McGlynn delivered a learned and appropriate sermon thereon, He closed with a glow- ing tribute co the virtues of Father Malone, charac+ terizing lim as @ true priest, a revered and much beloved pastor, @ father, guide and friend. At the conclusion of the services Father Malone briefly ad- dressed the large congregation, in a voice tremulous with emotion, substantially as follows:—‘The sceue within this sanctuary makes me happy and joyous to-day, and you, my brethren, may also feel happy, as we—people and pastor—haye worked together so long and so harmoniously, I have also to thank the clergymen present for visiting us on this occasion. When we came together in tus pariaty @ quarter ot a century ago we were not worth a cent financially, We had no lands, no edifices; but God has prospered us and we have now a flourishing parish, and sur- rounding us are eleven other churches, Of myself I have very little to say; but I know of no ber- sonal enelny in this district, Catholic or Protestant. This may possibly be accounted for from the fact that the first sermon I ever preached was on the subject of Christian — charity, a subject that I have never forgotten and which, my brethren, always remember, And while Lhave yet te call. to mind any dimculty be- tween myself and any citizen I declare to you that in my offcial and public life I never feared to ex- press the belief that is in me before any man, woman orchild, living or dead.” ‘The services im the church concluded, a large num- ber of clergymen and Ihy friends of Father Malone were invited by him toa sumptuous dinner prepared by the Wall House caterer, Thomas Browne. They feast was worthy of the occasion. The honored host sat at tue head of the table and did the honors with as much humility as when he feasts the suifering poror in their humble tenements. Beside him sat the Right Rev. Bishop Loughlin, and among the guests were Father Shea, president of st.

As it had been announced that Bishop Loughtn would perform the ceremony of dedicating the new Catholic church at Hunter's Point yesterday, the whole Catholic population was on the move and in holiday attire from an early hour in the morning. ‘St. Mary’s church ts situated on West Fifth street, Hunter's Point, between Jackson and Central ave- nuves, and is @ neat one story wooden edifice, ita architecture having pretensions to the Gothic, and ig sixty feet wide by 116 long. The roof is sur. mounted by @ wooden spire, which bears a large gilt cross, The external decorations are confined to the limited adornment the carpenter and painter are ca- pable of giving. Inside the effect is different; the walls are washed with @ light gray tint, not at all trying to weak eyes, and the benches, capable of seating 1,400 persons, are hard, eres and uninviting, but the adornments render it.as pretty @ little church as coutd be had for the amount invested—some $20, The windows are diamond formed, and. have colored glass adornments. The columns, though of wood, are well while the altar, which flowers, is as modest a triumph of adornment ecclesiasta as possessed by many Catholic churches in this country of far ter pretensions. The.statues have been executed by an artist, whose will not here go down to pos- verity, from the le fact Mat it cannot be given, lecent specimens of ant indeed, a praiseworthy Christ on the cross, above which are the words “Gloria tn Brcelsis Deo.” The sacristy is commo- dious and plainly furnished. sued ata lant Rmuratag clartreae te be half. past ten ey folloy pot Senet ig sent in the chureh:—The Right Rev.

The procession entered the church from the sacristy, and, viewed irom the organ gallery, Was. imposing, the Bishop, in full robes, bearing his crozier, brought up the rear, and, pro- ceeding to the front of the altar, marched towards the porch down the nave, the appropriate lessons for the occasion being read by the officiating pricsts, Arrived at the porch the procession made such a tour of the church as was practicable, and, returning the Bishop rapped atthe door with hia symbol o1 Office, exclaiming, “Open unto us the gates of the Lord.” The procession then went to the altar, where the lessons of the day were given, the choir mean- while singing the Litany of the Blessed Virgin, the organist being Miss Gillett. The ceremony of asperg- ing the wails of the church was then performed, and was the most imposing part of the Realeation: ‘The rest of the ceremony Was devoid of general in- terest, and consisted in gpectal prayers for the occa- sion, The ceremony concluded, the Bishop and priests retired to the sacristy while the tapers on the altar were lit, an@ preparations made for the celebration of the grand mass which followed, the officiating priests being the Rev. Father Poilard, Master of Ceremonies; the Rev. Father Bridgeman’ Celebrant; the Rev: ‘Father Louis Jouin, Deacon’ and the Rey.

Outside the church the scene was ammated. The local Temperance Societies and Ancient Order of Hibernians from New York and Brooklyn were ex- pected at the commencement of the celebration, but it was past eleven before the former, which was com- posed of some two thousand members, arrived. ‘The pastor, the Rev, Father Crimmm, had no small amount Of labor allotted to bim to receive the donations of the crowa, dnd seeing that at least nine thousand people were present, who gave from five cents to five dollars each, and that the church was full of spectators at one dollar each, no mean sum must have been coliectea, LAYING A CORNER STONE, The New Catholic Church at Hudson City. Yesterday afternoon the corner stone of the new building in process of erection on South street, near Bergen avenue, Hudson City, N, J., was laid with the imposing ceremony peculiar to the Roman Catholic Church, At an early hour in the afternoon crowds of people from Hoboken, Jersey City and all the styrounding districts gradually assembled around the edifice to witness the scene, The Father Matthew ‘Temperance societies of West Hoboken and eat ea 2 marched in procession to the music of brass bands which accompanied them, and halted in South street, where they were welcomed by some of the Passionist Fathers. ‘The charge for admiasion to the interior of the structure was fifty cents, and the a, was thronged notwithstanding.

The tecture ror ym of the Harlem Universalist Mis- sion, corner of 124th street amd Third avenue, was Blled with @ la'yge audience yesterday afternoon to listen to the discourse of the Rey, Richard Fisk, President of St, Lawrence College, Canton, N. Y. The subject Cf his discourse was “The Will in Rell- gion and Ri sligion in the Will,” in which he por- trayed the } power of the human will whether for evil or for good,, He said:—“The effects of will power in the soc’ jety of mankind involving activity in life is oftener found in those of stronger temperament than in w eaker. The determined will and the iimid— one fight ® until an obstacle ylelds, and the other recoils. Religion 18 a subject too little considered by Christla ns nowadays. Men are found whling and regdy t »devote their time and talents on the vanities of this world, but the sudject of religion is never once tr ought of. ‘The word religion is not to grow obsole' se; it i9 a fact of numan life not to be eradi- cated. Philosophy can never supplant it. Philoso- phy and science may produce modifications iB theol ogy, but will not materially detract from 1i pow er. Let theology be ranked as a science and the Wor id will apprehend that it is not a fixture, that tt 13 Cmpable of development in the growth of the hurpan mind and is not a fossil. The Christian Ch arch will disappear only when humanity needs no, more guidance and spiritual quickening.

He had no Teara of Jesus veing superseded by Mill, Parker, Renan, Strauss, or Andrew Jacksdn Davis; for all that he saw spiritual in them he saw still more com- plete in Christ Jesus. In religion the Cbristian character has not to be plucked out, but quickened and vitalized. The Providential aim of liberal Christianity was not, as some would think, to destroy religion, not to show that we have no need of prayer or ‘Christian worship, or of repentance, but to put new hfe ana higher interpretation upon ail these, to correct the theology and opinions of the world. We should show that spiritual powers are not things of the past and are not indigenous to Palestine and the Jewish race, but that they ever move onward and reach the soul of the mao. Divine leadership waa shown by the ways and doings of God, and now that there is in reaiity an influence of the Spirit of the Maker of the universe, tending to lift up man from his sinfulness and degradation and cloth him with the mantle of immortality, man should arouse himself and aim at the salvation of his soul. YORKVILLE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, * Sermon by the Rev. John McNaughton. Yesterday morning the services in the Yorkville Presbyterian church were conducted by the pastor, the Rey. John McNaughton. After the usual devo- tional exercises, which were greatly aided by the use of @ powerful organ and a well-selected choir, the reverend gentleman announced as the text 1. John ti, 16, 17—"‘Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His hfe for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren,” &¢. Nature, he gaia, is the revelation {of God’s love. ‘There is a sublimely benevolent purpose ranning through the length and breadth of God’s world, dis- coverable every where, even in the commonest faets which the daily movements of nature bring before us. Yetnotto earth, or sky, or alr, but to the sim- ple fact of the cpess, does the apostle point us for the manifestation of love. God’slove is seen in this, that He lays down His life for us. The love of God is not a natural belief, instructive and universal. Even Greece, with all ite refinements and culture and philosophy, never attained to this conviction, Never in human history was there an idol that re- ceived the moral love of its votaries. The men of old gave their gods their wealth, thelr bodies, and even weélr lives, but never gore them their hearts. The Greeks had th temples wrought up to the highest pitch of beauty, other nations made offerings to their deities that cost them everything, but never did the Greeks or others conceive of a God who demanded their love. in the Bible is this fact discovered and persist- ently and consistently maintained. And oe this revelation has been welcomed by man as the only fact that can meet and satisfy his need. Man craves for @ god the archotype of tymself. There has ever been latent in man the conviction that divinity is but the ideal side of Leeper Hence the pbilo- sophical abstractions of heathendom hawe never satisfied the instincts of man’s nature. Anomunipo- tence, an infallible eye, an all ping hand, an infinite intellect, an inexorable fate, set up asthe god to whom men must bow, has ever been produc- tive of unrest and discontent. The heart not go out to infinite wisdom or infinite power; it sighs for sympathy. If God were just tl what would we do with these human hearts? re would be nothing to fill them up in their heights and depths of feeling, nothing to meet them at their points of contract. We want one who can come to us, who is warm with emotion, whe can fill our hearts, and in whose heart we can make our home. ‘That God is such a Kee Me a be seen tn the fact that he has tuid down his life for us.

God did not send a message of words, ‘‘but laid down his life for us.’ “God was in Ohrist,’’ testifying his own love. The sacrifice, that has re- deemed the world ia not something that God accepts merely. He himself made the sacrifice and did so because he loved. It 1s the expression and manner of his love.

Kill, yesterday morning, the church-going people of the vicinity having gathered together for another purpose than that of performing their customary devotions—viz., to hear the beautifal sermon, en- titlea “Nothing but Leaves,” read by the popular lecturer, Stephen ©, Masset, The sermon, which was written by the Rey. 8, Attwood, of the South Congregational church, Salem, Mass., has been “Nothing baa China first voyage from San ‘ancisco to Yoko- hama.

In this sermon the learned poet orator of land advanced the theory that the canon of Sortpture was unknown fo the Christian Okarch for several hundred years after the birth of our Lord; and as Protestantism has staked unconsciously its very existencg on this canon the moment it became doubtful Protestantism fell. While the Catholic Church, a living gouty, growing up from Christ, of His very flesh and bone and spirit, never rested on any book, but in fact had collected together the scat. ‘tered enti of the Apostles for the edification of ber children long after she had subdued the Paganism of the Roman empire, Rationalism had ly @x- torted thus much, Dr. Rogers argued, from the reatest Oxford divines, and no ohe but the most ignorant would have maintained the contrary. Asa consequenve of thts thoughtful men had either gone at once over to the Catholic Church or maintained that their own society was the more legitimate buc- cessor to that visible Church which lived and breathed without @ Bible. Of these latter were Dr. Coxe, of Buifalo, and Dr, Dix, of New York. Of the former were Drs. Newman, Manning, Wilberforce, Faver, &c., who had renounced splendid benefices in England, and the speaker beligyed that the- good common sense of England and America would soon decide with the latter. The above issue being once fairly made, both these nations wauld return speedily to the Catholic faith. The Doctor then proceeded to prove that this sue must be made sooner or later; that the old rotestant theory of God’s having given a book out of the skies for men to fashion new ehurches was already savallowed up by infidelity, and the only question to be discussed was whether the Catholic Church, with 200,000,000, was the new Church, or the handful of respectable Episcopalians in England and this country, who are tearing each others’ eyes out in Chicago on the question (settled 1,800 ao ago by the Catholio Church) whether one bishop could invade the diocese of another. That in this same diocese Rey. Mr. Cheney and his bishop were at variance on a fundamental doctrine, 4. e., “How can a man be born again?” Will not infidels smile at this teacher of the blind? will not angels weep? Whatever disturbances may arise from time to time in the Catholic Church they are never on their fundamenta! principles, and when they did come up In the first age she settled them forever, THE G00D ENOUGH CLUB. Yachting, Clam Baking and Clam Eating. About fifty jolly souls, many of whom hold promi- nent public positions and are wealthy men, even in this prominent and wealthy metropolis, are banded together for purposes of social and physical recrea- tion under the suggestive “firm name ana style” of the “Good Enough Club.” About twenty miles from New York “as the crow files”? up Long Island Sound there is a geographica) indentation known to vulgar minds as Cow Bay, though its primitive and distinctive Indian appella- tion was Manhasset; but “Cow” is easier to “han. dle,” and therefore more popular than the aboriginal title, whatever may be said ag to the poetry of the matter. On the margin of Cow Bay, land-locked and forest- sheltered, stands the Club House, the summer resort of the above mentioned jolly half hundred ana their ten thousand friends, and three miles northward 1s situated the village of Port Washington, a very an- tiquated specimen of a fishing hamiet, Port Washington comprises @ post office, three stores, tavern, two flour mills, the wheels of which are turned by the ebb tides, and a hundred houses perched on bluf, lowland and shore, indiscriminately and sporadically. rincipal exports of the place are clams rd armen, ana the principal occupations of the inhabitante are cultivating, catching and selling the succulent bivalvutar edibles. The shell fish have a very high reputation, and the people thereabouts snould neve sino, $08 they are industrious, hospit- ‘The oysters found at Cow Bay are of two kinds, those found in the water’being known as Cow Bay oysters, while the second variety, found at the Gab louse, are of the kind so highly esteemed by Mr. Caudle—to wit, ‘‘rolicsome oysters.” Nearly everybody at Port Washington is acquainted with the peculmr characteristics of the last men- tioned class of “oyster,” and are by no means chary in expressing, thelr belief that they are “Good Enou Rs under all circumstances, ‘On Saturday last a sailing match on a grand scale had been arranged between the fishermen, and it was @: ted that about forty yachts, fishing smacks and pleasure boats would enter. The en- trance fee was @ bushel of clams, and the aggre- gate fees were to pw through the oer ation of paked eaten on the Ifalf-shell by the gallant contesting yachtmen, their wives, sweet- hearts and daughters. This looked like such a fat oc- casion that the frolicsome oysters of the Good Enough Club thought oy would hike to join in, and their acht, the Good Enough, was accordingly entered. he day was agala aay in Port Washington; for there were personal and professional reputations to be achieved and thirty-five bushels of baked clams be eaten. About half-past one o'clock they nm te form in line, the clams were piaced “under fire” on a bluit overlooking the “Port," and the contest commenced, The race was for the championship of Cow Bay, from the pier to a stakeboat off Plum Beach, and return, to be sailed over th: times, making a dis- tance of about fifteen miles, Thirty-five vessels came to the scratch, and were classed as follows:— “Catboats,” first class; sloops, frat, second and third classes. The various classes got away well together, but las! as they moved toward the middle of the bay “what a fal off was there |" No one went.over- board exactly, but the wind dropped away and left the armada of clippers as lifeless as a lot offpunts. Only one vessel, the Forrest, succeeded in getting around the stakeboat once, so the race was declared no race, the vessels were recalled and all hands iled for the hill where the bake was going on. nis was about four o'clock; the edibles were in ex- cellent trim and everybody's motto addressed to the “roast” was ‘Shell but.” Imprompta groups were formed on the grass under the trees, and for about three hours the scene was decidedly picturesque and rural—a veritable séte champetre. And thus the great sailing regatta of Cow Bay terminated. Soon after- ‘wards a yacnt ioad of ‘frolicsome oysters,” filled with clams and lager, were on board the Good Enough, in company with a few city folks they picked.up on the pier, and who had just landed from the steamer. They were on their way to the Club House, and all along the shore could be seen the white dresses and fluttering ribbons of the fishermen’s daughters, as they too wended their way homeward after @ cele- bration of more marked and unusual interest than a fall grown “Fourth of July.” The race, same eu- trance fee, will be attempted again next Saturday probably. FOREIGN SCIENTIFIC ITEMS. ‘The Viceroy of Egypt has just presented a marble bust of himself to the Hotel de Ville in Paris, Prince Napoleon’s Pompelian palace, on the ave- nue Montaigne, in Paris, is about to be purchased by the municipality of that city and opened ag a scien- tific Institute, #4 ‘The Prince of Wales has consented to unveil the statae of Mr. George Peabody, in London, onthe site near the Royal Exchange, during the prosent month. The statue, which 1s0f bronze, is the work of Mr. Story, the American sculptor. A discovery was made recently at Herculaneum of two gold brooches, of moderate size, still fastened to two pieces of stuff. any robably served as the clasp for apeblum, A ‘aun was also found, an indifferent copy of @ very Valuable original, the recent researches of Professor Dareste, ‘aris, upon the production of monstrosities in chickens, !t is found that by varying the application ofthe heat to the egg every form of known mon- Strosity can be produced at will. M. Ferdinand de Lesseps, after having connected two seas, is now proposing to create Anew one. It appears that some at ing explorers of Central Africa have put forward the opinion that the Sabara is the bed of an old sea displaced by @ convulsion of nature, On the faith of that assertion M. de Lesse, & little time ago sent some engineers to examine the configuration of the soil, and the resuit of their labors has become convinced that the desert in ques- tion was at its nearest limit elghty-eight feet below the level of the Ked Sea, and that the depression went on increasing towards the interior. He 1s, | therefore, of opinion that a canal seventy-five miles In length would suMce to put the Red Sea and the Sahara nm communication, restore to the latter its original destinauion’ and an easy method of Intercourse with Central Africa by means of these artificial oceans, Should such an operation be se riously taken in hand it isto be hoped that due no- true fruit of the Gospel, The clusters ripened by tice will be given Wo al) points from which the varl+ or negatively, at pleasure. Tbe ‘variations were in- dicated by a horizonte} needle, situated in the ee of the poles. ‘There was, further, @ series of ron lates, which could be separately applied to each ig the laminw. Before tacking any of latter the electric current was driven paratus for a few minutes and whereby the magnet acquired its first degree of saturation, marked by a certain de- viation of the needle. One of the tron plates (usually called contacts) was then put on, and it sapporine a wagnt of 140 kilogrammes. A second trial was now made; and the current having passed through again tor a few seconds, it was found that the horse shoo would support ty kilogrammes instead of 140, The number of contacts being now increased to five, which together in the natural state supported 120 kilogrammes, 1t was found after the passage of the curre® that they could support the enormous weight of 680 kilogrammes, which they did for the space of a full week. No sooner, however, were the contacts taken Off than the horseshoe returned to its usual Rrpea strength of 140 kilogrammes. This leads to show that thagnetism may be condensed, luke electricity, for a short period. * A strange geological phenomenon caused some excitement recently at Murat, a village situated be- tween the valley of Mont Dore and that of St. James, in France. A civil engineer had caused a rectangu- lar well to be sunk to a depth of fifty-three metres thro} a@stratum of hard tufa, which covers the primitive formation in that district. At this depth, which is insignificant compared to the shaft of a mine, the heat, nevertheless, became so intense that the workmen had to be relieved at short inter- vals, Their wooden shoes soon got intole- rably warm, and they could not lie down to rest themselves on the hot ground. On the other hand the appearance of the tufa denoted that the well had nearly reached the granite. The engineer, on leaving the spot for awhile, had recommended his men to be very careful during his absence, and to content themselves with removing the rubble without going further down. One of them, how- ever, in throwing the last shovelful into the skip, took it into his head to remove with his pickaxe a, place of tufa, about thirty inches in circumference; ut no sooner had Ife done this than he saw the bot- tom of the hole he had made swell up. time a loud rumbling noise was heard, The men, in @ fright, jumped into the cage, and’ called to bepulled up; but they had barely got to a height of a dozen metres when @ thick column of hot water, preceded by a violent At the same wards. The water in falling scalded the men griev- ously. The jet diminished, and the well filled rap- idly, the poor fellows succeeding, however, in get- ting out in time. In the course of ten hours the well got quite full, and from'that time a rivulet of ther- mal water has been flowing from the spot into the Dordogne. The liquid, on arriving there, swll re- tains a Jermperanars of forty degrees Centigr. Upon analysis, it has been found to contain upwards of twenty milligms, (nearly half a grain), 0! of potash per litre, a proportion unheard of before. The Minister of Public Works has sent a commission of engineers to the spot for further investigation. SHIPPING NEWS.
