'A few weeks since a meeting,' called for the

a committee of ' fire, consisting off President

With instructions to devise a working plan. 'A

chosen to petition the Legislature
fOr a charter. A petition and a draft of a

make application 'to'the municipal; authorities
'for the' transfer to the hew corporation of the

antique ; 'another as a central repository tbr all
collections of art treasures in possession of
public and private institutions and individuals
in Boston and vicinity that the ownets may be'
disposed to exhibit publicly in the museum.
.—PATINA OF BRONZE.---The % derin " pa
tina" is used to designate a beautiful greenish ,
coating which forms flannelly upon the sur
face' of bronze, especially that of copper . and
.tin, under the influence of the air and mois
ture ; consisting in most cases of a. carbonate
of copper which adheres very closely, and not
' only imparts a beautiful appearance to the
metal, but also protects it from further oxida
tion. The formation of this patina pro-,
weds with varying degrees' of rapidity in
different localities. In some places, espe
cially in large cities, where coal is burned
in considerable quantity, it does not de
velop.
~itself, the metal assuming , the ap
pearance, rather, of a dirty cast iron. The
difference in. this respect has received the
attention of a scientific body in Prussia., under
the direetion of which numerous experiments
have been made; and it bas been. ascertained
that the formation of a good patina was not
dependent upon' the composition of 'the bronze,
although the time required for this develop
meet may have something to do with the per
centage of the' different ingredients. It was
furthermore—discovered that by occasionally
lwashing articles of bronze, exposed to the at
.
InOspliere, applying' oil, and after Wards rub
bing off with a soft rag all of this that could be
removed, in the course of a few years a patina
of the finest quality is developed irrespective of
the location ; and in this way the desired result
can be, and actually has been produced on ob
jects that bad long refused to put on this ex
terior.
IL!hysko=tomy of Luggage
A writer in All the Year Round says
"standing on the 'wooden pier at Folkestone,
watching the sole dramatic show of the place,
the departing packet, there is no mone ut so
exciting for the jaded voluptuaries of the place
as when the three : or four great vans are seen
-ralling.down along the rads. Theseluge trains
bold the baggage of the great caravan,and each
is baited by a yawning cavity hi the pier, down
which slopes, at an easy angle, a sort of nni
tAgne.Russe. Open fly the wagon-doors, sailors
and porters swami round like bees at a hive's
mouth, and fling themselves on the baggage
'warehoused within. This rattles on the ground
'with hollow thump and sharp clash of hasps
.and handles, while a skilful arm laUnches each
•on a headlong flight down the smooth inclined
gilane. There the philosepher, curious in the
studies . just alluded to, will see a most curious
:}panorama, and discover with wonder in how
many shapes the human soul will fashion for
itself an abstract ideal of the notion-trunk.
"Something that will conveniently and
securely hold the articles you bring with you ;
that is the.aim. Yet the world seems to have .
hut riot in fanciful devices. Mere varieties of
siael would be intelligible—seine requiring
larger, some smaller - space, according to the
amount of their property; but the vagaries and
devices that go flying down in wild chase of
each , other seem incomprehensible.
"So characteristic are these marks and
.tokens that, after a few weeks' training, the
Atidiserver.ceuld almost sort them oil; each to its

trunks and cases, bright and dandified, bran
new, tail, gay ; 'ladies' trunks, covered like the

eases, and naine in white letters; charming
bags, with more ,strappings ; and clean
bat-cases. We look to the deck of the
Tessel, and see a tall, fat, gray father, iu a
white coat, surrounded by happy daughters,
who are smiling 'on every one, looking out
with delight on the sea, impatient to be off;
And we know that this, is their first voyage to
foreign parts. In three months those brilliant
lambs will return bruised, battered, smirched
veterans of the campaign. The family have

" 4 ' .4 " Ladies are terrible offenders, as
hundreds' of husbands, brothers, and-fathers,
can testify. The leading principle they lay
down is , •to, take all their worldly efiects with
them; every abatement which , they tuake tO
the force of necessity , is so much gracious and
generous concession. Abroad, say at some
pleasant IthinPStatitei; the truck Piled with the
luggage of the traveling flintily,' watched over
by ' the'rean; is . a : sight to see. The 'mon
strous,, and heavy chests, some five or six;
papa'Sand.George's modest portmanteaus, the
. dozen small square boxes,- which - ' do• not
count,'' and contain, Heaven knows what! the
dressing-cAses, the parcels, the , half-dozen
dresSing-bags, each holding as Much as, and far
heavier than, a.earpet-bag ; the three or '.fotir
bundles of cleaks, shawls, great-Coats, oil'-skin
waterproofs, with, finally, the lictors' fasces of
sticks, umbrellas, parasols, alpenstocks, firmly
bound tegetherthis mass of effects' is be
wilderhe,'-, not to say disheartening, and must
einbitterthe pleasures of traveling. •
"The mere getting such things to am-hotel,
the distribution through rooms,- the unpacking
and packing, the nervous duty of keeping them
' all together and losing nothing, must make the,
west delightful of pleasures a most disagreeable
task . . And, it may be said, there is a great art
in packing, or in the distribution of things.
For the true secret of happiness, in baggage, is
to put immediate necessaries apart in a small
and handy receptacle;' so that the g reat case
may he dealt with as a reserve, and leftin sulky
majesty at the .railway depot, while the 'light
arid •handy case . goes MI gaily to' the hotel. The
inconvi nience.of dragging these great Chests to
hotels fora night, or half a., - daY, is not to ,he
conceived. They become at last as, odious .as
.the monster was to Frankenstein. • • But the
skilled traveler knows all these. moves._ . • •
"For the gentletuantraveler• there is noth.:
ing in the wide world so handy Or 'convenient
as the old valise, of an expanding !sort, and
chosen with great nicety as to its size; not too
large, or it becomes a portmanteau- in all but
name ; not too small, or .it becomes a sort Of
hand-bag. In the happy menu lies the .art.. if
your choice be good, it is a vast blessing. It
never separates from - you ' .it goes in, the same
carriage with you every where. It should have
u spt lug lock, so as to opeu quickly, and shut
smat tly. Custom-house officers give You the
pi tier ence,: while the other victims are wait
ing for their great chestS to be set in order,
ou leave the station triumphantly, a porter
carrying the modest equipage; and you are
the better for the little walk.
But here a voice is' heard pleading for what
has these advantages to 'an infinitely greater
degree, the knapsack. ItS owner too is not de
la} cd, and hoists it on his shoulder. But there
is a sacrifice of respect in it, there 'is some
thing shabby and even mean; every knapsack
tearivi unless the most - case-hardened, has a --
qualm as he walks, or skulks up, with his poor
kit, to the good hotel in the large town. They
are shy of him and of .his fellows, and of that
queer uniform he wears, that plaited thing
with a belt, which he is so proud of. Where
there is room, they give it to him grudgingly ;
When thdre is competition for room he and his
wallet have no chance. Not so with the owner
of the genteel blaCk valise, which the owner
does not carry on his baek.
"After all, the American SyStem might be
wortka trial here, modified, of course; for in
that country they have great lengths of railway,
rather than the coufusei.l network of lines that
is among us. It is always pleasant, when, by
some lucky chance,- you arrive at au-hotel to
find your trunks awaiting yOU with an air of
.welcome. how much More agreeable if this
were reduced to i systein !"

The new Revue at the Chitfelet is a spectalle
of great magnificence. Its subject is a visit to
earth Made by M. and Madame Satan; the
former aceompanied, by Mephistophiles, the
latter by.Medor, who, it appears, is Chancellor
of the Exchequer, t,r, at least, . money-keeper
for the infernal regions. MM., Siraudin
Clair
ville and Busnach are the authors. What in
terest the piece
,possesses depends, however,
upon scenery, costume and ballet. The close of
the first act represents the terminus of the Che
min-de-fer de l'Ouest,with a real locomotive is
suing from a tunnel, crossing the stage,ttuning
half-way round during its progress, and drw
-ing after it live full-sized carriages, frOm which
foity passengers descended. A second act,
which is entirely ballet, represents entertain
ments which ate supposed to be given at the
Isthmus of Suez. Two English dancers, an-
nounced as Mr. and Miss Magilton, obtained
considerable success. The Revue at the De
lassements; ;nit Baisqß' qui recommit

How They are Bubbled in Naples...A
Financial Crash at Hand.
A speculative mania is in full swing at
Naples, under a ;form which is remarkable for
its simplicity and attractiveness, as well as for
the universal ruin which the bursting of the
bubble is sure
,to cause. Some years ago,
iyhen gold was at a preiniuni of eighteen per
cent,,:_ a Certain fast living nobleman, of the
name of Ituffo , Who ILA run
through his patrimony, hit upon the device
of offering to pay in gold at par in
twenty days for all loans made to him in paper.
'There was at oncea rush of lenders eager to,
press•advances upon hini at a rate of interest
which was really equivalent to above 200 per
tent. per annum, and the continuing supply
enabled him duly.to keep his word. When gold
:fell to a premium of 5 per cent. he enlarged the
tizn for repayment to a month, but the crowd
of lenders still continued. The civil authorities:
grew alarmed, and applied to Scilly for informa-'
tion as to the principle of his operations. He;
replied that he fulfilled his obligationa punc
tually, and therefbre was not subjeet' to auy
interference of the, law, and declined to accede'
to the reqnest for further explanation. The
Cardinal .Archbishop next menaced him with
excommunication unless he desisted. But he'
retorted that he was guilty of no religions any
more than any civil offence. A large propor
• tion of his clients consisted of religious
persons and corporations, who were rapidly
enriched by the process, and he condescended
to explain that it was by Bourse speculations
lie made the money by which he was enabled
to carry, on a ; system profitable to himself and
his,creditors. The Archbishop reported the'
.niatter to. the congregation of the holy office,
and that body by ,tescript declared Signor,
Scilla'a proceedings legitimate, and authorimd :
all ecclesiastical 'persons to lend their money on
the terms he (dieted. --This sanction gave a

quickly sprang qp. One Costa offered 25 per;
cent. per mouth to all who would, entrust him ,
With their money. Other establishments have
been opened offering still 'higher rates, and as
yet all have kept their engagements. The
lenders; of course, have Made immense for
tunes, and this:sPectacle draws more and more
eager crowds, consisting of every class of so.
ciety, into the vortex. Of course the obli
gations. incurred are only , made good . out of
the• fresh deposits that come in,. but every one

race. 'The Liberal papers in vain warn all

its reference to. Committee of the'.Whole,and
that it be wade the special order for Thursday,

the bill was amendatory, and not a general re
vision.. Mr. Allison,- of lowa, a member of the
'Co'mmittee, suggested a postponement
far at least two weeks, to allow a
'proper examination of the bill, and
declared that it was in the interest of manu
factures, not of consumers: Mr. Schenck said
that the committee had ..endeavored to .keep
in mind revenue, protection and Consitmp
tion. Mr. Brooks quoted from the bill to
show that reductions had been made in mere
revenue articles, such as tea, coffee, sugar,
liquors, etc., in order to have an- excuse for
raising the ' duty on ken, steel, jute, carpet
ing, and • eVen - obi type; - while, the
objectionable duties stood •on coal, salt,
lead, lumber,. hides, etc. Mr. Schenck said a
reductiOn on pig iron had been reported, and
while tanners and dealers in hides • favored
their being put upon the free list, there were
other interests to be consulted. After further
discussion the bill was ordered to be printed,
