A Letter was read from Captain Andersen, of the Cunard 

 steamer Canada^ from Liverpool to New York, accompanying 

 specimens of the soundings taken during his last voyage across 

 the Atlantic. Captain Andersen was kind enough to send 

 the soundings by post from Queenstown, by which means 

 they arrived just before the meeting. 



Mr. W. H. Heys, of Hazel Grove, exhibited his newly 

 invented Kaloscope, by means of which he obtains refracted 

 and reflected light of different colours at the same time upon 

 objects under the microscope, producing beautiful effects in 

 some cases.
