Among the number of patents recently ta ken out in Kiiglaml is one by K. W hide, for a candle lamp of very novel character. The lamp has a dial or clock face, aud, as the candle burns, the hands mark thc hour sand minutes correet'y, and a hammer strikes the time. Asa chamber-light for a sick room, it marks the time, ami can be set to strike at any given periods, when the patient re quires attention. As a night light, it marks the time on a transparent dial, and rings an alarm at any stated period, and iu ten min utes afterward extinguishes the candle, or will continue to strike every second until the party gets out of bed and stops it; and if a very heavy sleeper requires to bo rous ed, it will fire off a percussion cap. As a table lamp it marks the time ami strikes thi hours and has a regulator and index, by which may be ascertained the amount of light and economy of consumption of the various caudles of different makers.

On the w hole, ; however, it must be acknowledged that a! very good selection bus been made. Alter all, no one point can be named on which there exists any real diib rent e of opinion between the members of the Ad ministration. We shall have a good, work ing, improving Government, and there is not a man in it who is not anxious to give ' it that character, as well from sheer self'-in- terest as on public rrmiiids.

Circumstances, however, had induced Her Maiesty to rtuuest his advice in bo mill an uilTo st,:, tion, and the Callnt now being complete, he would proceed to lay before the House a sketch of its policy. With regard to foreign powers, it would adhere to the principle which had been pur sued lor the last .m years, ami w iiii-n con sisted in respecting the rights of all itulc- p ndent States, iu abstaining from interf'i-r- ence in their internal affairs, w hile nt the same time we asserted our own rights and interests, and above all, in an earnest desire to secure the general peace of Kurope.

In commencing, he remarked that in treat ing of the Sea, and the Circulation of iu Wa ters, he did not expect to have time to em brace the whole subject as that would be too great a demand upon the patience of his audience. And furthermore, were ho to attempt it. be should fine himself iu the; rivt-r-i and the clouds, with which the sea was intimately connected.

Atiplause And the Bible informs us that ''all rivers run into the sea," c,. liut he (the lecturer) did not propose to go into the Livers, or treat especially of the Gulf Streams, or of those very large iulf Currents which exercise such a con trolling influence upon Navigation Jiut ln proposed to go into another subject, which that there was as much regulation in tlm circulation of the waters of the sea as there is in the circulation of the blood or the movements of the planets in the heavens. If we take a drop of water from the Si a, and another drop from the Fiver, and ana lyze them, we shall find that they are near ly alike; and this provi s that, water in one part of the ocean to-day will be found in another mil far di-taut part to-morrow. '1 his must be carried by these Currents. 'I key in u in tain lim order and picsorva the harmony which characterizes every depart ment ot God's handiwoi k. Kvcn drop of water in the sea is as obedient to Law and Order as are the star ju the heavens; fur vheti the morning stars sang t-'gethcr the waves r-l' thL. sea aNo lifted up their voice ; of the ocean is iu harmony with the music f the spheres. Applause We cannot doubt this for up ui the lied Sea there is never any rain while upon the Mediterran can there are rains and many rivers emp tied into it. et, when we conn; to analyze the waters of each, they are found to be'al-ino-t iudeutical. Upon this evidence we f riii the supposition of a teneial system of Circulation by which water from one part of the sea is conveyed into a most remote part. 'J he chief motive power concerned in Marine Current- has been generally as cribed Vji't.it. Until has been found to be thought the instrumentality of the n inils ami pit'itln ami titsr. ts ulul tjie force of the sea. These agents unv the sea great dyn amic force. From this point the lecturer went on to argue that the same seen t causes which produce an under-current from the Mediter rant an and the Head Sea into the Ocean should also produce an under current from the North Sea into the Polar regions; ami iu corroboration of this idea, he cited the experience ot Lieutenant Haven, nf the I i rinnell expedition who, when he was fro zen up in the ice, o-ojug. toward iiie South a large iceberg came drftiug up toward the North and was out of -,;.,(, t in a day. And he .-aid tnat it w :s to the mini and geiithi influence of the suits of the sea, brought through by an under-current, that Franklin and his companions owe their lives, if tlny have been able to find the means of subsistence iu that cold aud barren region. Here, then, lie said, i the office which the sea performs iu the economy of the Universe. The dews, the rains, and the rivers are con tinually dissolving certain minerals of the earth, and carrying theiil off to the sea. -V, '. T. ti'in.f.
