UM.— In tho rommunication from S. G. Peiikini, Esq. 

 ihj.'Ct of heuling liot houses by hot water, an error of conso- 

 ccurred, which we noted for correction in last week's paper } 

 lotice was mislaid, or given to the winds by the type-setler. 

 , therefore, once more, attempt to rectify tlie mistitke. In (lie 

 ;e alluded ut, page :*(21, line 21 from the top of the first column, 

 d of a • little after 2 o'clock,' read a little after nine o'clock, 

 listake is important, because it represents the water to have 

 8 hours in heating instead of 3 hours, which was the fact, 

 that time we learn that Mr Perkins has heated the apparatus 

 a hours to the same temperature.
