LORD KIMBERLEY ON ENGLAND'S POSITION ON THE CONTINENT.

Spectator

་

A Government which could not vid itself of Me. Baneroit Davis's preposterous abortion, the indireot claims, candot be expected to es cape from the merely annoying infliction of Mr. Cushing's unrnly pen. In this connection, we may remark that Mr. Ousbing, in bis eager. nesa to flagellate his English antagonist, en- tirely misses the opportunity of explaining how or from whenos the indirect claims got into the American" case," Had heldone that, it would have boun a service to the country of far more worth than even the refutation of Sir Alexander Cockburn's warranted viewa; which Mr. Cushing undertook, and how so signally failed in.

As some of those trees would be some. wind older than the frat tree, while others would have annived it, he wonsidered that it would be possible, so to say, to pieco oat the information obtained from dos tree by means of the others; and that, after examining a weat nanbor of trees, his record of warm and cold | seops might be extended at both ends almost indefinitely. The above is a good specimen of the disjointed information which one obtained from him. Indeed, it was from odda and ends of thie sort that one had to form an impression of what he had been, just sa from a few broken. pieces of pottery an archæalogist dmwa à- pic-: we of the original rase. A ret more oarious instance of the same kind may be given in re gard to the views he expressed about the capa- cities of valculating orchines. Not nerdy did he think that such machines could work ont sams, but even that they might be an construct- ed as to perform the most complex processes of mathematics. Ho went so far as to any that, they might give the proofs of mathematical theorems. Without expresine any point, I Tany indicate how very much bin atatement involves.

Mr. Babbage also held that a machine might be made which would play games of skill, such as chess. He of course did hot men that by this merely thus it could perform the part of the antoniston, and register the moves of an unseen player, but he held that it might take the place of the player, and fad bat porfect play by itself. On my showing signs of incredulity, he added that he could prove this to be the case in res.) pect of a simple game, such as tit-sal-to; and between fit-tat-toandebees the difference would bo one only of degree. If a comparatirely simply shine could discover perfect-play. and therefore provide against the possible toves of an adversary, in the easier game, was there anything alaard in the opposition that a far more complicated moline might take into account the immenso variety of the mannvros at ebene? It is appears that, according to Mr. Babbage, machtaes might be made to point out perfect play at chess, though the united laboura of so toy generations of pluyors hare 46 yet failed to discover it.
