Southampton Dock Charges . — -In consequence of the disputes between the public and the Southampton Dock Company about the charges of the latter for passengers and their baggage , the company has revised its tariff , and simplified it in such a manner that every passenger landing or embarking at the docks can ascertain easily the precise amount he ought to pay . . Three Cases of Sudden Death have occurred during the week . Mr . Thomas Ellis , who had for some
years been connected with the British Museum Library , was discovered dead in his arm-chair on Tuesday last , at his residence , Bloomsbury- street , Bedford-square . — -Mr . George Lindsay , chairman of the Russia Company , died suddenly on Wednesday at a meeting of the companyand on Thursday evening , a Mr . Lord , while in the act of speaking at the National Schoolroom , Putney , became tremulous , and said he felt quite overpowered . He was taken oat , and died almost immediately . .
sort of combination . As an instance of the wonderful extent of its powers , we may state that it can furnish in a few seconds products amounting' to 999 , 999 , 999 , 999 , 999 , 999 , 999 , 999 , 999 , 999 . The Romance ov the Castle . —" Lord Ellenborougu , " says a letter from Cannes in the Union , " has purchased for 10 , 0002 . the chateau , in the Gothic style , of M . " Wolfid , at this place . Curious circumstances preceded / this purchase . M . Wolfid , who is , it is known , a distinguished amateur in architectural art , drew tip himself the plans of the chateau , and superintended its construction . In visiting the Highlands , M . Wolfid was much struck by a gothic castle , magnificently situated on the banks of Ben Lomond ; and , taking a sketch of it , he determined to erect one exactly like it at Cannes , on the picturesque heights which dominate the Brougham ,
Temple-Leader , Ormesson , and Borington villas . The execution was promptly proceeded to , and for eighteen months past the high towers and battlements of the new edifice , which rise majestically , can he seen from a great distance at sea . Lord Ellenborougli , who arrived at Cannes a few days ago , was astonished at seeing before him , three hundred leagues from his own country , the old mansion of his ancestors in which he had passed his infancy . He immediately proposed , by force of guineas , to drive out the owner . His resolution was carried into effect in the course of a few hours . The noble lord has caused his armorial hearings to be put up everywhere , and he now resides there ; but , instead of being enveloped in the fogs of Ben Lomond , its towers , donj (» n-keej > , and battlements are reflected in the azured crystal of the Mediterranean waters . "
The Tine Disease . — -Some interesting particulars with reference to the state of the -vines in France and Germany are contained in the circular of Messrs . Lightly and Simon , who say that the condition of the crops is again very unfavourable . " Prices have in consequence considerably advanced , and stocks of old wines are » o reduced in the hands of both growers and the trade throughout the two countries , that unless the vintage of 1857 is abundant , not only in France and Germany , but throughout the other -wine-producing countries of Europe , it is difficult to predict what may be the result , or . to what price wine may attain . We have been at some pains to collect correct data as to the oidium , and it would certainly appear that in France the disease is
rather on the decline , for although its ravages have been extensiye , it hasniostly confined itself to those districts where it had shown itself in previous years . With regard to the use of sulphur in the vineyards , our friends in the south of France wiite that it has again been attended with so much success in modifying the disease , that next year it -will be universally applied to the vines in that part of the country . ( We may also mention that in Sicily its use has been found rnost beneficial . ) The total yield of the French vineyards cannot be estimated at more than one-fifth of an average crop , but so far as at present can be judged , the quality will be superior to last year's produce . In the German vineyards the yield is not much more favourable , and the quality will not compensate for the deficiency . "
The Wellington Memorial . —In answer to some queries addressed by the secretary of the Sculptors' Institute to Sir Benjamin Hall with reference to the Wellington Monument , the following reply has been made by one of Sir Benjamin ' s secretaries : — l . With regard to your first query , I am to inform you that the directions as to the size that the model shall bear in proportion to the monument ar e set forth most clearly in the specifications , and competitors must not depart from them . 2 .
No further information can be given on the subject of your second enquiry [ as to whether the designs are to be publicly exhibited before the decision of the judges ] than that afforded by the specifications . 3 . The names of the judges cannot be given , as the selection has not yet been made , and will not be made for some time . 4 . There is nothing in the specifications to bind the Government to employ the author of the best design to execute the work and no positive obligation can be incurred . "
Tbactabian Defeat at Oxford . —The election of an Hebdomadal Councillor , oa Tuesday afternoon , in the room of the late Professor Hussey , has been the cause of the Tractarians suffering a defeat . The candidates -were Dr . Macbride , of Magdalen Hall , and 3 if r . Wall , of Balhol College ; the former was the candidate of the Evangelical party , and the latter that of the Tractarian party . Nearly all the heads of houses and professors recorded their votes , and the polling , which lasted an hour , was kept up with much vigour . At the close , the Vice-Chancellor and Proctor gave out the numbers as follows : —For Dr- Macbride , 87 ; Mr . Wall , 69 ; majority , 18 . A New Catoulating Machine . —M . Thomas , of Colinar ( says the Moniteur ) has lately made his finishing improvements in the calculating machine , called the arithmometer , at which he has been working for upvrarda of thirty years . This machine may bo used ¦« ntb . out . the least trouble or possibility of error , not only lor addition , subtraction , multiplication , and division , but also for much more complex operations , such as the extraction of the square root , involution , the resolution of triangles , < fcc . A multiplication of eight figures by eight others is made nciglxtoen seconds ; a division of sixteen figures by eight figures in twenty-four eeconds ; and in ope minuto and a quarter one can extract the equare root o sixteen figures , and also prove the accuracy of the calculation .. The arithmometer aaapta itself to evorv
