      10 BD BOSSE'S GIGANTIC TELESCOPE . At-the clow of ibe -meeting of the British Assoelationj Dr . Robinson , the eminent astronomer , gave the folio-wing Interesting account of the gigantic telescope ^ i tb soz feet speculum , preparing by the Earl of jtosss . The processes employed 'bj hia JiorfiEDJp liaTe jjeea described before , but not eo clearly . . Tfes expected results are splendid , as the reader irDl see by glancing attbelast sentence but one of the article . The ^ powers of the six feet speculnm when finished ought to be four times as great as those of the three feet one , -which suffice , it seems ^ to render an object in the moon no iaggsr&sa a dmreh risible to us : —

      - " ¦ Theeye fails to "percsrve distant objects for two Te ? 3 ons—their apparent minuteness , and their faiatjjess- Both these are obviated by the telescope ; its object glass , or mirror , forms a highly illuminated pictnre , as in tie camera obscura ; and this can bs magni-Sed by the eye-piece xa proportion to its brightness , proportion depending on that "which the objective paifc tears on the pupil of the eye . Therefore , with instal ments equally perfect in execution the power depends cm the diameter , and all improvements ultituately relate to that . Now , in the refracting telescope , when the objective part is of glass , we very soon reach a limit , from the impossibility of obtaining this snhstasce is large masses sufficiently perfect for optical purposes . There is not in existence an object glass . of sixteen

      Inches aperture , nor we believe four of twelve ; and iheir cost might be estimated from the fact , that a disc of nnwronght flint glsss web now offered for sale , eight inches diameter and . one inch thick , at the price of eighty guineas . "We are therefore © 'bliged beyond these Emits to avail ourselves « f the principle of idbciion ; but here also we meet with difficulties that seem scarcely sormonntable . The material of specula is easily procured , but it is perhaps the most untrsctable with which » workman ever meddles ; harder than sted , but so brittle that a slight blow win shiver a large rock of it to fragments , and & slight trUuration grind it to dost , It can scarcely be . shaped by the-com mon process of the founder , and a very small warmth incautiously applied will split a large mirror . And the

      delicacy of the necessary for perfect action , is scarcely to be conceived ; quantities of space , which would elude all other measurement , are in this way made evident , so that the precision of the operation must be almost infinite . Up to the sfza of six , or perhaps jnlne incfrFs diameter , the difficulties are overcome by skilful workmen ; but very few have ventured beyond the latter limit , and still fewer have succeeded so that in that afield Lord Bosse stands alone . Even Sir William Herschel himself is so exception ; his twenty . feet telescopes , of sixteen inches aperture , being compara tively diminutive ; and the ferty-feet , of four feet aperture , however honourable to the astronomers and the Sing who constructed it , nnut be regarded &a a failure .

      " The improvements made by Lord Bosse might be described as lour , including a multitude of minor points , of which it might be said that none were the result of accident ; they flowed from a series of experimental inductions , perfect in then- kind , bat which tfrnn -wSl not permit him to detail . The first Tras in casting the ipecnla . From what he said before of-their materiel , it would easily be conceived , that without especial precautions it w » uld infallibly crack in cooling . Of the three attempts by Sir Wp . Herschel to east the four feet speculum , two failed , though it was far below ths tr&e standard of f oar ehRimciri equivalents of copper to one of tin . Others wh * h&Ye . operated an it nave sot teen more fortunate ; it either cracks in the mould , or has a dull and porous surface , which

      makes it useless . Lord Bosse forms that surface of the mould which give the reflecting face of iron hoops , packed os edge , and toned to ths spheric figure of the speculum— -bo clou that they retain the liquid metal , BO porous tbftl th . B aii which ft unfonglMf p » n escape . It f > i ni « and tplifijfl ft * sX once a small depth of the bee ; the side * of the mould , which are ef sand , cool it more slowly , and the ultimate and dangerous contraction acts only on the back , which is . cart open . The arrangement seems excessively simple , but it sever fail * . OI course , the speculum , -which ia tough at a ftigh temperature , is transferred before it comes to an yiTmVUng furnace , nd gradually cooled . The second change is in the position of the speculum ; all other opticians , as far as Dr . Robinson knew , had it above

      the polisher . By reierting it , Lord Bosse gained many important advantages—lie could examine its figure as ihe polishing proceeded without removing it to the telescope—do trifling job , when it i » near a-ton weight —by placing it in a cistern of water kept at the mean temperature , be made the process free from the nncertainty caused by the friction , heating , and softening the pitch of the polisher ; and by-supporting the speculum on the Identical levers which were to bear it when acting in the telescope , be avoided all change of figure . TFere a mirror accurately figTired with-it * face dowa-Ward , the mere act ef reversing will unqoesttansbly injure its performance , for it bends by la own weight The slightest local pressure will turn a well-defined star into a blot or a comet ; and - this absolute

      Identity of sopport in the two cues is of wtentiitl seceisiry , thoogh saver before thought o& The third is the machine which give * the movements requisite fco obtain the parbolic figure , It ii a remarkable f * ft , ' and as evidence of ti » correctnea of the result that De . 4 ktou , a native of this city , should have been led by his ¦ experiments to the same combinations . They consist , according to Lord Bosse , of—1 st , & stroke which carries the polisher one-third of the diameter of the mirror : 3 d , a transverse stroke 21 times slower and 0 . 28 of Ihe same iliameter of the minor ; 3 d , a rotation of &e ipecnlnm , performed in the time of S 7 of the first strokes ; and 4 th , a rotation of ihe polisher in the same direction , about 16 times slower ; and if those proportions be observed the machine will do the Jest ; it

      scarcely requires to be watched , and if it be only arrested when the polisher csvers the surface , it is found that whether that be six inehet diameter , or three feet , the figure is true . But as the curvature of the surface is not uniform , the shape of the polisher must change while it is produced . This instrument is made of east iron covered with pitch , and coated with peroxide of iron . The change can only occur by the lateral spreading of the pitch , and to allow of this it had been usual to cut it in grooves regulated by the experience of the optician , and-renewed u they fill up . TnrtWHl of tW » arbitrary plan , Lord Bosse has grooved the polisher itself , jo as to break it into isolated and definite portions , and thus he reduces every part of the operation to precise conditions

      Dr . Bobinson apologised foe such an imperfect sketch or those inventions , but he regretted still more that he could sot venture to detain his iiesrers by tsniog them of the wonders they had unfolded , and of the three-feet telescope actually employedgjjt- ^ Arson town , the most powerful that has yet been -pointed to the sky—of the light which it has already thrown on some of the mysterious objects in the heavens ; Never , wherever directed , had he looked into it without m £ fog its field crowded with stars ; those wondCSHU ciniten , when a whole universe is converted into a speck , become in truth a ' heaven of heavens ; ' and the dim ana problematic sebu ' s break up into stars , asd show indented and irregular outline * which even the Herschels , with their until now unmatched instru ments , had failed to perceive . The moon must be seen

      With this telescope to conceive its power ; the spectacle could aot be described ; bat be hoped that some of the great 3 &oj ? olists before whom be spoke would avail themselves of the opportunity of studying in our satellite some of the works of that mighty agent whose workings in our own planet have been less powerf uDy manifested , and marked by other influences . The counsel might seem strange to acme ; tat it would cease to surprise when he told them that with this telescope a building the slza of the one in which they were now assembled would , under favourable drenmstanees , be easOj visible on the lunar surface . Ee had hoped to be able to announce to them still more remarkable results from the six-feet telescope , but unfortonately it is not yet completed ; that pleasure , however , be tnuted was reserved for him at York .

The object of this new coffin is . to-prevent the terrible brzird of burying a person alive ; and for this purpose the coffin ii fitted with springs and levers inside , which , on the slightest motion of tie person within , will instantly throw up the coffin lid . [ What tuewiu this be ,-wbeothe « . ffin is buried ? Will tbe lid rise then ? Or if it be consigned to a vault : is tbe " lid" to " open" jost to import to the imprisoned one a knowledge of the nature of bis priaoo ? Is not this " contrivance" science and art" r an mad ? 3

      CoypxxiSG Shim 3 T GjivjjasM—A patent has recently been granted for applying the ^ leetrotype process to coppering ihipi . The inventor proposes to float tbe vessel in a dock containing a saturated solution of anlphate of copper , and by means of a powerful voltaic battery to deport * coating of copper on the wood , which mast be previously robbed over with plumbago , to eause the metal to adhere .

It was pronounced to be a manufactured article , and so it was : bat by the hand of Nature . This substance ,-when handled , is harsh to the touch , although composed of finest threads . To the naked eye it present * no character by -which it may be known from any coarse and l » osely -woven cloth . The microscope reveals its nature . It ii then found to eensut of myriads of joined threads , whose joints , are compressed-alternately sideways and

      vertically : they are cere and there transparent , but for the most part op&qne , and rough pa the eye . The water flannel is composed of jointed threads , secreting carbonate of lime on their surface , and forming seeds composed of starch -within them . And -when we consider that the joints are smaller than the eye can detect , while each contains from SO to 100 seeds , it may easily be conceived with what rapidity such a plant is multiplied : and , as their contents consist to a great extent of starch , tbe mort readily organiuble of all vegetable materials , the means of growth with which the plant is provided are far more ample than any thing we know of in tbe higher orders of the vegetable kingdom .

      LivERPoot Cobn Market , Friday , Dec . 8 . —The duties continues ] without alteration on all sorts of foreign Grain , except Bye , reduced to 10 s . 6 d ., and Colonial Rye to ( 2 a . 6 d . per quarter . We have an average supply of Wheat and Flour fresh in from Ireland , but only a moderate quantity of other articles thence and coastwise , the arrival of Oatmeal being less liberal than usual ; while a few parcels of Canadian Wheat Peas and Flour , jform almost the only imports from abroad during the : past three days . There has been no aotivity observable in any branch of the trade since Tuesday , bat upon a retail demand generally prices bave remained tolerably steady . At this morning ' s market , which was tbtuJ ** attended by either local or country millers , considerable duloess prevailed , the

      few buyers of Wheat taking only sufficient for immediate purposes , with , however , scarcely a variation from the currency of our last circular . The Flour trade was ai 30 without animation , and we quote the same prices for all descriptions of British as well as Foreign . Ne English malting Barleyremalningunsold , thefirstanivals will command a ready sale and full prices , there being no Irish or Scotch of a quality suitable to supply the deficiency . Malt , ! Beans and P « as , in slow request ; , but unaltered in value . We had little country demand for Oata to-day , but the moderate quantity offering prevents any present depression in prices . Choice new Oatmeal still reaches 21 s . to 21 s . 6 d ., and we have a moderate sale for good old-parcels at 20 s . pet 250 lb * . No bonded transactions are reported , besides a few parcels of Egyptian Beans at 16 s . per 480 lbs .

      Liverpool Cattle Market , Monday , Dec . 11 . — We have bad rather a smaller supply of CUttle at market to-day thia last week , which met with dull sale , at a shade of advance in price from last week's quotations .

Manchester , Cobn Market , Saturday , Dec . 9 . — The Flour trade during the week has remained in precisely the same state as we have bad occasion to notice for several weeks past , the dealers and bakers merely purchasing for their present wants , Whilst factors have evinced no disposition to press sales , and

      prices were consequently unchanged . For Oatmeal an improved inquiry was experienced from cdnBumers , and rather higher rates were ia sorae' instances realised . But few transactions occurred in Wheat at our market this morning , and except for good dry samples the previous currency was barely snstained . The demand for Flour was extremely larignld , bot no alteratloo in the value of choice descHptiona can be noted : inferior and , low qualities were unsaleabto , Oate met a tolerably steady sale , at former prices . With a fair inquiry for Oatmeal , an advance of 3 d to 6 d pet load was generally demanded ! and obtained on the sales effected-In the value of ( Beaug or otbsx atttclea noobange can be noted . i

      YoRiiCoHN Market . Dec . 9 . —We nava . a good supply of Grain to-.. ay . Wheat is dull sale , at tort week ' s prices , but not lower . Fine Barley is scarcely so well sold , and inferior qualities are bad to quit , at a decline of is per quarter . Lonpon Corn Exchange , Monday , Dec n . Since this day fortnight the arrivals of English Wheat have been tolerably extensive , while an increase has taken plac © in those « f most other kinds of gfain of home produce . The stands were well supplied with samples of wheat from our own coasts , yet its quafity was somewhat beneath an average . The attendance of buyers was , on the whole , numerous , and selected qualities of Red and White English Wheat were taken off steadilyat prices fully equal to those obtaiaed . ott

      , Monday last In the middling and out-of-conation pacels , very little business was trariBacied , and in some instances the rates had a downward tendency , witucut a clearance being effected . In free Foreign Wheat the saos were limited , but we have no alteration to nocica in the quotations . Bonded grain was a mere drug . Notwithstanding we had a good show of Barley samples ; the demand for that artioie—especially malting descriptions—was active , at an advanee of Is . pet tfuarter , and nearly the whole of the receipts found buyers . The sale for Malt was rather languid , but prices were supported . Of Oats we had not a large supply on offer , yet as most of the dealers are well in stock , the Oat trade was elow , at late ratea Bsuna , Peas , audFlour moved off slowly ,-at previous

      currencies . London , Smithfield Cattle Market , moxday DECEMBER 11 The great Christmas show having been appointed to be held here te-day , the market exhibited a degree of animation and bustle seldom , or never , before witnessed in this or any other similar place of business in tbe United Kingdom . Not only was the attendance of London aud country butchers large , but the market was crowded throughout the day by agricultural and other visitors , who expressed themselves highly gratified with the Btock brought forward . In particularising the stock we shall commence wi _ tn the Beasts , as is our usual , custom . In taking a comparative review of it ve may safely venture to inUtunta that a finer , more symmetrical , a heavier , or

      betterconditioned supply of those animals was never wit * neasedby ' the oldest grazier living . In many respects , it -was decidedly superior to that exhibited at the corresponding period in 1842 ; . while , if we take its average quality , we must give on * opinion in favour of this day ' s show . For a series of years the Hereford breeds have bt « id the first position on these interesting occasions ; and we nave to observe that that position wa 3 nev ^ r be fore ao marked as to-day ; in fac t , without detracting from some of the Hereforda shown in the yard at Baker-street , and which canted off prizes , we cannot but express our surprise and regret that some of these beasts shoud not have entered the lists for competition at the Smithfield Club ' s Show . Take , for instance , the twenty-five puie Hetefords and Sussex beasts

      brought to this morning ' s market by Mr . Senior , of Brouehton House , near Aylesbury . These wonderful creatures , five years old , were estimated to weigh , on the average , two hundred and fifty stones each . For weight of fat and symmetry these , we unhesitatingly affirm , were never before excelled by any grazver in the kingdom ; hence worthy of our special notice . Even these , however , we did not consider tbe prod'gi « 3 of the ahowr , as yte accord that honour to Mr . Terry ' a seven Hereford Steers , bred and fed by that gentleman on his farm near Aylesbury . These beasts were wonderful , indeed , —showing , in our judgment , the greatest weight in the same compass ever observed in any similar kind in the ¦ woTld . And this , by tixo way , i 3 nor saying too much for them ; therefore , we place them as the

      first and most valuable beasts—in other wordB , » s the wonder of the market . The next , in point of exc = Hence , we consider the twenty superior Devons shown by Mr . Chanelin . The twenty-six Bevons , the property of Mr . John SomeiB , of Saltmore House , Bridgwater . were very wonderfnl animals , as will be perceived wsen we observe that their weight waa from one buudtudt and forty to one hundred and seventy stones each , and that some of them found purchasers at £ 36 per bead . Mr . H . Brown , of Stawell , near Bridgewater , had also some remarkably good Devons , bred by Mr . John Bitch , of Bridford , near Taunton , and by Mr . Thomas Danger . . o ( TrunstiU , neat Bridgewater , which , elicited tnuca tvpptafeatlon . We have also to notice favourably the tweatysix Devons shown by Mr . W . Bond , of Bishop Lydiard ,

      near Taunton , Somersetshire ; as also some by Mr . E . Bond , of Oak Fatm , near Taunton , and which r .- fteated the highest credit upon those gentlemen ' s skill ea breeders . The 20 Davona exhibited by Mr . Hurman , of Barrow , near BridgewaUr , were ¦ well made-up be-as * - ? , theugh not such heavy weighers as those above noticed , Mr . Gurrier had also an extraordinary fine show of Heteforda , Davons , rants , and Scots ; while Mr . Collins had two of the best short horns ( bred and fed by Mr . Simpson , near Cambridge ) we ever saw , they exceeding In weight 170 stone each . Tbe 10 HerefordB , the property of Mr . Layton , of Thomey ,, near Petersborougb , and offered for sale by Mr . Collins , were first-rate snimals , Mr . Robert Morgan bad also 20 very superior short-homed and Hereford oxen , grazed by William

      Qoodall , Esq ., of Market Deeping , Lmcolnsbiie . Theee beasts were greatly admired by the butchers , and allowed by judges to be the twenty best beasts sho ^ a in London of any one ' gentleman's feeding . Mr . aiorgan had likewise some very good oxen on Bale , the property of W- Wleman , E ? q . of Moulta Ganget , and om « ,. _« aauvitablQ fine Scots , belonging to G . Hay , Esq ., of Aberdeen ( N . B . ) The sbWhorris ana Herefoids last referred to weighed quite 200 stonei each . Mr . Voriey had on show 14 Herefofds , sent by Mr . B . Simpkins , of Qby , Leicestershire , and which were justly admired by all present . Having new given our readers a faithful statement of the quality and condition of the bullock supply , which , as we bava before observed , were never before excelled , we shall now refer

      to the aggregate numbers and general demand . With respect to the former , they were quite as large as those brought forward on any similar occasion , during the last aix years ; but we certainly consider there was more weight of flesh , both lean and fat , than we before recollected . It is true , we did not see quite so many good Scots as formerly , the best in the market being those shown by Mr . Maidwell , of Leatherhead ; but this comparative deficiency was more than made good by the Herefoids and Devons , not forgetting some unusually fine pure Stirbams . Such being the state of the bullock supply , we could have wished to report equally favourable of the beef trade . Notwithstanding the large attendance of buyers , it ruled heavy , and the prices realised were certainly beneath those that could

      be considered remunerative . Fox instance , though a few of the primest Scots , Devons , Herefords , and Durhasia were disposed of at 4 b 6 d pez 8 lbs ; the highest general figure for Beef did not exceed 4 s 4 d per 81 bs . The trade with the best qualities—and tor which scarcely any comparative advance in value was realised , considering their extraordinary excellence—waa by no means brisk , yet a good clearance of meat we a effected . For the middling and inferior kinds of Beef—of the latter of which scarcely any was on offer —the sale was likewise slow , yet their currencies bad au upward tendency . In comparing tbe rates of Beef obtained to-day with those at tbe same market in the year 1842 , a present decline in value must be observed of nearly sixpence per Slbs , some of the Scots

      and Hereford * last year producing as much as 5-j per 81 bs ., and that , too , at a period * when the supply w&a not , token as a whole , so good as tbat shown tbia morning . Although the epidemic is b « 11 complained of , we did not observe sca » 6 ely a single instance to-day in which it bad committed any serious ravages , the stock being mostly well on its legs . The arrivals of Beasts from Lincolnshire , Leicestershire , Northamptonshire , &c . consisted of about 3 . 000 sbort-horna , itc ; from the Western and Midland districts * 60 (> Herefoids , Devona , Durhams , &a were received ; while from other parts ol England the nnmbera were rather over 800 ; those from Scotland amounting to 125 Scots , by steamers . We now come to the Sheep j in which , with some exceptions , to which we shall presently allude , there was a slight falling off in quality , but not in numbers { the latter being about tfcs average of tao . » shown on thia taken

      occasion ) . Prime old Downs , being scarce , were off somewhat finely , at currencies fully equal to those obtained on tblB day se ' nnight , or from 4 a to 4 s 4 d per Slbs . ; but with polled and other breeds , the trade was in a very depressed state at barely stationary price * . In glancing through the supply of aneep , we perceived some unusually fine creatures amongst it . Mr . Weal having on offer 16 polled sheep , the property of E . F . Whittingstall , Esq ., of Langley Berry , Herefordshire , as also 20 remarkably fine downs bred by the same gentleman . Some of the former produced £ 6 per head . Mr . Weal likewise shewed two wonderful downs , sen ! by Mr . Addams , ol Wan , Herts , and which were justly admired . There were shewn by other salesmen some remarkably fine downs , bred and fed by Mr . Tuckwell , of Signett ; five polled aheep , bred and fed by Mr . C ' Large , ef Broadwell , and some exceedingly fine downs belonging to Mr . Faulkner , of Berry Barns , wbieh

      were certainly the prodigies « f the supply : of sheep . Tbe number of calves was seasonably good , yet the sale for them was tolerably steady , and the late improvement In their quotations was well supported . The show of Pigs was good , bat not quite equal to that of rome former years . Ne ° t small Porkers sold freely other kinds of Pi g * slowly * at : late rates . There was no foreign stock on offer to-day , while no imports jof consequence have taken place since Monday lasV / . . . . . ¦ ¦ ,..

      TO THE JOURNEYMEN TAILORS . ¦ nA ^ ° O XHE EDITo a QV THE NORTHERS STAB . ¦ DaAlt Sir , —in your report of tbe exposure Of the system olISweaiing before Sir Peter Laarie , I am made to say that Mr . Eaye , of Alderagate-street , has his waistcoais as well made for Is 6 d , as Stultz for 7 s . As this has , to the Trade , an appearance of exaggeration , I am desirous of setting myself right . What I said was , that I had seen trousers aa well made at Kaye ' s for Is fid , as I had received 7 s for at the West ^ nd ; the fact being that Kaye ' s highest price for waistcoats is 7 d , wellm » dei and double breasted , his prices varying from 4 d ; treuserafrom lOd per pair . Thei miatake , as regards the word waistcoat is trifling in itself ; but the statement has a bad effect upon the trade . i trust you will receive this as an apology for troubling you . A word to the Journeymen Tailors of the United Kingdom , in answer to a letter of mine , in a former number of the Star . I have received communications from Somersetshire , Leeds , Biahopwearmoutn , and Dund&e , expressing a desire to co-operate in the proposed National Delegate Meeting of the trade , &o . ; and as the tailors of lK > ndon , in a public meeting of between two and three thousand persons , have unanimously agreed to the proposition , the central committee of the Metropolitan Tailors ' Trade Protection Society respectfully Bolicit their brethren in other towns to forward their opinions en the matter , as soon as convenient , as no steps can be taken unless they feel themselves authorised to do so . There can be but one opinion as to the necessity of a general Union of the Trade , both in town and country , for the purpose of protecting out labour against the capitalists , who are the authors of our present degraded and impoverished condition , through theix awful and calamitottB system of competition . I am , yours respectfully , J . W . Parkeb . Suffolk Coffee House , Old Bailey , Dec . nth , 1843 .
