GURNEY, THE INVENTOR OF THE STEAM-CARRIAGE. Mr. Gurney is of 1. very old and respectable Cornish family. After receiving a liberal education at Truro grammar school he was placed with a surgeon at Wadebridge, in the same county, where be early showed evidences of great inechanic.ii ta lent, having invented several ingenious contrivances connected with the practice of his profession. During his school days he more than once spent the vacation with Mr. Andrew Vivian, of Truro, one of the earliest improvers of locomotive steam-machinery, and who at that very time (more than twenty years ago) was experi menting upon a steam carriage to move on rail-roads, which, in connexion with Mr. Trevithick, be soon afterwards brought to nearly the same state of perfection which the present carriages of that class have attained. The chief evidence of Mr. Gurney's ex traordinary mechanical ability during hie youth was the construc tion of a Large finger organ, the whole of which he manufactured and put together with his own hands, and afterwards connected it with a piano -forte, in a most ingenious and entirely novel manner. The circumstance of his finding that these two instruments either agreed together in tone, or disagreed, according to the temperature of the atmosphere at the time of playing them, was the first cause of Mr. Gurney's directing his attention, in a decided manner, to cite study of natural philosophy in general. and of chymistry in par ticular, and which consequently gave the first impulse to that de voted attention tn, and love for, the latter, which has been the leading feature of his character, and the main cause of his present success. Shortly after his arrival in London, Mr. Gurney became ac quainted with a gentleman who was connected with the Surrey Institution, and who, after having had repeated occasions of ob serving the qualities of Mr. Gurney's mind, strenuously advised his becoming a candidate for the office of chymical lecturer to that establishment. This advice Mr. Gurney almost immediately fol hwed, and he delivered a probationary lecture at that institution, which was received with remarkable demonstrations of applause, item the novelty and aptness of the various illustrations which were introduced ; and which lecture occasioned the engagement of Mr. Gurney to deliver a course of lectures on chymical science. These lectures were delivered during the ensuing season, and excited a more marked attention than any similar lectures ha d since the establishment of the institution ; indeed, they so entirely surpassed the expectations of the committee of managers that an additional ,um was voted to Mr. Gurney over and above that which hadbeen agreed to be paid for them. It washy this course of lectures that Mr. Gurney made himself not a few enemies in the pbilsophical world, by pointing out the defects which have since been proved, in the (so called) " safety lamp" of the late Sir Humphrey Davy. In the course of these lectures; too, he first exhibited his oxyhrirogen !low.pipe, an invention of great merit and utility, since it divested A' all danger, and at the same time added to the powers of that, till then must hazardous instrument, the blow-pipe of Dr. Clarke. This blowpipe is now in general use in all chymical laboratories. The same remarkable course of lectures first introduced to the woild several other minor instruments, connected with the prose cutions of scientific inquiry. About this time, too, Mr. Gurney constructed a new and most extraordinary musical instrument, composed chiefly of glass—led to do so by some observations which be had made during his experiments and preparations for the above-named coarse of public instruction. This instrument, which was of the exact form and appearance of a grand upright piano, and played in the same manner, produced the most singular effects on the hearer—uniting all the softness and sweetness of the musical glasses with the full and grand tone of the organ. It was com pleted and placed in the Colosseum, with a view of being heard there, as part of the various attractions of that establishment ; but oa the flight of Rowland Stephenson, and the embarrassments of tLe concern, it was removed, Mr. Gamey not having parted with atiy vortion of his property in it. The sound of this instrument was so affecting that persons of a nervous habit could not bear to bear it touched. It was played, as we have said, in the ordinary way of a piano, by finger keys, but these acted so as to cause the passage of silk ribbons over spherical glasses. Immediately after, aid indeed during, the construction of this extraordinary init.:e metic, Mr. Gurney had given much of his attention to steam ma chinery, with a view to the construction of a locomotive power for carriages on common roads ; and during the last four or five years bi. whole time and thoughts have been devoted exclusively to this one great pursuit—with what ultimate success his late public ex periments have shown. Indeed his entire and unceasing attention to his present pursuit, in the face of such obstacles, difficulties, and ditcouragentents as perhaps never before presented themselves to any one in the prosecution of such an undertaking, have been as remarkable as they are creditable to his character for perseverance and industry. During one period of the late experiments Mr. Gurney resided within the walb of the factory for six months, eight and day—never quitting them for a moment, nor writing a letter, or even seeing a friend, but giving his whole time and soul t o his great work: and this, too, at a period when his effot is were the subject of at best but an empty unbelieving wonder—and, in many cases, of ridicule and laughter—as chimerical and useless, as far as any practical result was concerned. In fact, so far front un steadiness and want of perseverance being imputable to Mr. Gurney, these are precisely the qualities to which he owes his present un looked-for and unhoped success—(unlooked-for and unhoped ex cept by himself)—and to which he will assuredly owe his future fame and fortune.

' il l and 11'ECESSdRY 1 Previous to the " counter-revolution" there were two causes operating to drive the Protestants out of Ireland ; and they were doing their work effectually : these were the persecuting spirit of Popery, and the discouragement' they suffered from land pro. prietors. The former was the natural result of the Popish doc trines ; and, considering the relative numbers of the parties, could only he averted by strict combination, perpetual watchfulness, and much personal peril; or (as peaceful and industrious people would prefer) by seeking other settlements, untainted with religious ran cour, and undisturbed by religious feuds. The second evil was the result of a griping covetousness and a shortsighted policy in landlords unacquainted with their true policy, and ignorantly teaching at the shadow of an income magnified beyond its sub stance by the deceitful medium through which it passed, and the appearance of a domination which was soon to elude their grasp, and leave them powerless. Irish landlords wanted a large rent-roll and a large registry to increase their domestic luxury and to extend their Parliamentary influence ; slaves in mind as well as body were the commodity they sought in exchange for their acres ; and the highest bidder for the rack-rent and the supplest disposer of his vote was the aurest dealer for preferment and preference. The pour Papist, like the hungry Gteek, could do any thing, as long as it se►ved his turn ; and it was his policy to turn out the Protestants who stood in the way of his present purpose and his remote pros pects. The Papist could vegetate on roots—could dwell in a hog -I.ty—could sleep in nastiness, with his four-footed fellow-lodgers— could go ragged or hare, and see his children naked, and his wife in tatters, without any sense of indecency. Ignorant himself, he cued nothing for the education of his family ; and, broken in spirit by the mental tyranny of his Church, he felt no degradation in sending them to beg, to supply the occasional deficiences of his miserable message. Such tenants could well afford a high rent fur their hohl ings—becauseetbey could add to the fah value of the land the amount aburacted from their wants and their cemfons. What in other hand► would naturally or necessarily go to the mason, the shoe-maker, the weaver, the tailor, and schoolasaster, from their's found its way into the landlord's pocket. When. with all this self denial. the demands of the landlord (or, perhaps, more properly speaking, the middleman) exceeded even the power of abstinence and beggary to supply, there remained the vote, the only market commodity of the wretched and servile pauper, and this being long since covered with a premeditated artier (premeditated on both sides), was at the absolute disposal of the master of both soil and slave. Now, the Protestant peasant was and is (thank Gob and the free institutions of Protestantism for it) the reverse of this ab ject and supple boor. The Prot rat knows the just price of his industry, and the share which it entitles him to of the produce which it raises. He knows that if be labour he should live, and that not the mere animal existence of a pack-horse, fed to sustain his life for the purpose of prolonging his toil, but as an intellectual being, ca pable of improving his moral condition and bisworldlycircumstances; and possessing a right, not only to enjoy the current advantages of kis industry, but to advance in the scale of society, if he have the power and the will. The Protestant must, therefore, have a good and a cleanly house, a comfortable table, with an occasional joint of butcher's meat, or poultry. His furniture and bedding must be sufficient and decent. He must be able to clothe himself and his family respectably, according to their station ; and he will have his children educated. These demands must be satisfied 'ere the Protestant can pay rent ; he therefore will not take ground at a rate which, after deducting the landlord's stipulated claim. will not afford these essentials ; nor will be, in the exercise of his constitutional rights, blindly subserve the interests which offend his conscience. 'fa a short-sighted and griping policy such a man was not an acceptable tenant. He could not pay the rack-rent; and, not willing to promise what he could not fulfil, he was driven from the field of competition by his more unscrupulous rival. It was not because the Protestant was a bad tenant that the Papist was preferred, but because the latter could promise, and sometimes contrive to pay, what the former could not. It was not because the Protestant made a bad use of the elective franchise that the freehold was in preference conveyed to a Papist; but because the former claimed a right to think and act for himself, which the latter was known to be incapable of doing. But then no allowance was made in either case for the security of payment or the fidelity of attachment, and it was discovered too late that a high rent-roll produces but a small income, and that the vote which is at ano ther man's bidding may be transferred from one master to another. The Papist was subtle, and supposed to be submissive. The Pro testant was independent, and was called sturdy. He would not be a slave, and was consequently deemed unfit to be a servant. What, therefore, he could not get at home, he determined to seek abroad, and finding neither personal safety from persecution, nor sufficient encouragement for his industry in Ireland, he sought peace and prosperity in a distant land, which will soon bring him an ample return for the intelligence and exertion be expatriated with him. Such was the state of things in this country previous to the passing of the " Inroad Bill." That one of the evils is in creased is evident, from the Increased catalogue of atrocities which oar criminal calendar exhibits. That the other is in some degree diminished by the sense of mutual danger, and perhaps the ex perience alt. fatal consequences, we hope, and are inclined to be lieve. Be that as it may, however, one remedy has been proposed which we think likely to be of the utmost benefit—namely, the system of Protestant colonisation. This will provide not only the means of living comfortably to our neglected Protestant brethren, but will also provide a security against persecution in the mutual aid and co-operation which the inhabitants of them will derive from their situation. A virtuous, intelligent, and en terprising people will be preserved to the community, and peace and increasing prosperity will justify the wisdom of the promoters of this benevolent undertaking.—Dublin Evening Mail. THE RASCALLY CORPORATIONS. We subjoin, from the Dublin Evening Post of Thurs day last, an account of a most characterisdc attempt of tbe Cor poration of Dublin to give a monopoly of the sale of fish to one of their Members; that is, to tax the Citizens of Dublin for the sake of enriching that Member, who will, no doubt, join in the creation of other job. for other Members. " THE CORPORATION AND FISH TRADE. " An effort is about to be made by the Corporation of Dublin, acting by the Lord Mayor, tojai the extensive Fish Market of this City, in favour of a person of the name of Stephens, a Mem ber of the Corporation. With a view to make the reader ac quainted with the extraordinary circumstances attending this effort, we beg that he will attentively peruse a minute of a discus sion, or conversation, or whatever it may be between the Lord Mayor and the persons concerned in the wholesale Bah trade, which conversation occurred at the Mansion-House, on Tuesday last. " Now, on perusal, we think the public will be of opinion with us, that a more monstrous attempt was never made even by the Corporation of Dublin than this—nor one that bears so strongly she marks of gross injustice to a respectable class of our fellow citizens, and of shameless jobbing in favour, if not of the Corpora tion' of a Member of that worshipful body. The Lord Mayor is pleased to consider Pill-lane Fish Market as a nuisance. A fish market does not always consist of the most elegant members of society, and wherever it happens to be, will not be distinguished for harmonious sounds, or odorous perfumes, or for any other Sowers of rhetoric, but those which have bloomed and blossomed for ages in the gardens of Billingsgate. But a fish-market, not withstanding, is not the less important or the less necessary to a great city. To ears police, as well as critical nose., a fish-market must not be mentioned. But the question here is, do the people of Pill-lane complain of the Lb market as a nuisance? We be lieve the answer must be in the negative, because we take it for granted, that if such were the case, we sliduld have heard of it. Of thil, at all events, we are certain, that the public would have heard of the fact through the medium of the Courts. It would be presented as a nuisance by a Grand Jury, and a legal adjudication would take place. "No such thing. The Lord Mayor, from his mere motion and acting upon what he thinks, no doubt, his chatter, is determined at once to suppress a market, which hu existed nearly a century, and to transfer the sale of fish to this Mr. Stephens, who it seems, has built sheds on the speculation. He not only undertakes to turn the Fishmongers out of Pill-lane, but compel them to choose a Corporation-man for a landlord. e have told their Honours long ago, that they are travelling too fist. But as we really wished to think well of the Lord Mayor, we were very much surprised to And that be, upon his own hobby, was galloping the Corporation as madly to destruction as the rest of them. Are they not doing now—have they not been doing enough, any time this twenty years, to disgust all moderate and decent men with their conduct? But the Lord Mayor must come at the twelfth hour, and we will not say for the purpose of putting money in the pocket of a Corporation-man—though the Lord Mayer actually commits himself by saying that it would be cruel not to compensate this Mr. Stephens—but on account, as he avers, of the public convenience, tells the proprietors of a market not only that they must wheel out, but occupy the stalls and sheds of his brother Corporator. " If the citizens of Dublin suffer tids—if they permit themselves thus to be driven about by such a paltry, contemptible, and corrupt set u the Corporation of Dublin, they deserve to be ridden by their shabby Honours to the end of the chapter. - - " But this disgrace will not be endured. It is not a question merely between the Fishmongers and the Corporation of Dublin. It is a question between the Citizens and the Corporation. The latter say they have the right, and will, no doubt, be ready to pro duce their Charter. So they said in the case of tolls, and yet they were deprived of a revenue of seven or eight thousand a you.— So they said with respect to their impost upon coals, and yet they have not attempted to remove the injunction of the King's Bench, er to act in contravention of it. They said they had the right by Act of Parliament, to plunder the city of Dublin, on the pretence of levying a tax for the Metal Main ; and yet they will be obliged, to-morrow or the next day, to disgorge some fifty odd thousands of pounds of the public money. They had a great many rights which they dO not possess now—which they forfeited for iU con duct—on account of the gross and manifold corruptions of which they have been proved guilty. and which rights they can never hope to recover. They discharged, at one time, the duties which the Wide Street Commissioners now omit to discharge—they had the complete mismanagement of the harbour of Dublin until the job was taken cut of their bands and placed under the controul of the ' Ballast Office. They had the management of the Nightly Watch and of the Police, until burglaries and street robberies became so alarming that the power was taken out of their hands—they had the care of the Paving and Lighting of the City until no one could hod his way after dark through the streets, and until the latter became totally impassable. They had great estates, which would be now worth two hundred thousand pounds a-year, until they jobbed them off. In short, they might have been a wealthy and powerful body, like she Corporation of Liverpool, if they had been commonly correct, or even decent. " But that at the approaching nightfall of their reign, they should attempt another outrage upon the patience of the Citizens of Dub lin surpasses in impudence and in dotage anything we could have previously imagined, even of this Body. " Let them show their Charter ••••••• MAIM THEY ♦ CHARM.? " This matter, though comparatively trivial in character. will lead, if we do not grievously miscakulate. to very serious and sa- Wary results. " In the meantime. we advise' the Fishmoogera not to yield a single jot—not to sulk+ thentvelves to be tantid dut of their rights; or to be brow-beaten by , threats of Corporation warrant,. There t ust be law beforethe Lord Mayor can use force. Asd we ite isned that Alaermao Dinky win not lead the Polk, to the Lord )Mayor merely foe the purpose of &flag a questioh of fight, which must be decidedly ultimately in the Courts." LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCT. 20. !IL, P. own. This was an action on a bill of exchange for 2001. drawn and en dorsed by the defendants, and accepted by Lord Audley. The handwriting of Lord Audley was proved, but the Common Sergeant called the attention of Lord Tenterden to the fact, that though the acceptance to the bill, making it payable at Sir James Esdalle's, was in the writing of Lord Audley, yet there was added on the bill, in some other handwriting, " or at 11, Poland-street, Oxford-street." The declaration stated the bill to be made pay able at either place, and was therefore clearly bad, for the accept ance only made it payable at the one place. Mr. Conant. hoped his Lordship would, under a recent Act of Parliament, give him liberty to amend, as it was a cue pre cisely within its meaning, it being merely a mistake of the special pleader who had drawn the declaration. Lord Teo/suns said he was decidedly of opinion that this case did not come within the meaning of the Act of Parliament, for it was clearly the result of negligence, and not a blunder which might have been committed, notwithstanding the greatest care and atten tion. If he was to give liberty to amend in the present cue, it would be nothing less than giving a premium to negligence. The plaintiff then proceeded upon the account stated, in order to recover the amount of 2001. for the marble, purchased by the defendants, through an Agent, for Lord Audley, from the plain tiff, for which marble the defendants had indorsed the acceptance of Lord Audley to Sir James Jelf, the plaintiff. Mr. DENMAN, for the defendant, contended that the person who represented to be the agent of the defendant was not so, but had, in fact, purchased the marble, and subsequently sold it on his own account. _ _ A witness was called. who proved that he purchased the marble from the alleged agent at Messrs. Wigs 's, in Oxford•street, and that the agent then represented the property as his own. Mr. CAMPBELL replied ; and The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages stSlOO. IN EA WY V. COULSEN. This was an action to recover the sum of 121. for work and labour done. The defence was, that the plaintiff, who is a bricklayer, had left his work unfinished, and badly executed that which he had done, and further, that be had already been overpaid. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, Damages, if. THR LING V. CARRINGTON •ND RRAIIMONT. This was an indictment against the defendants for a conspiracy to obtain goods fraude'ntly from the prosecutors, Messrs. Fergu son and Co. Mr. Foxiocx stated the case to the jury. The defendant Car rington took a shop in Bridge-street, Blackfriars,and obtained goods to the amount of 2801. front Messrs. Ferguson and Co. part of which he afterwards sold in his shop for less money than he had given for them. The other ddendant was named Beaumont, and he was in the habit of coming daily to the shop of Carrington, and taking from thence, without invoice or bin, the goods which had been sent in by Carrington's creditors from day to day, which goods Beaumont sold in various places and at various times, for such prices as he could obtain for them. He should prove these facts, and had no doubt but the Learned Judge would tell them that such a practice was a gross fraud ; and that if Beaumont and Carrington had agreed to obtain goods in this way, they were guilty of a gross conspiracy. Mr. Tinss an. here said, that be appeared for Carrington, and no one appeared for Beaumont. Frederick Martin, a partner in the house of Ferguson and Co. deposed, that Carrington came to their house in March last. and bought a quantity of ribands, to the amount of 211. on one month's credit; he continued for two or three months to deal with them, to the extent of 2801. of which he paid no part, though he bad paid other small sums ; witness had heard something of Carrington and Beaumont, and in consequence sent one of his servants to purchase some articles at a retailer's house. The witness here stated the prices for which he bad Geld several pieces of riband to Carrington, which pieces were brought back by the servant be bad sent to pur chase at the retail shop. Lord Timelines asked if such evidence could sustain the in dictment in its present form? Mr. Pomocx said he could go no farther, nor could be prove that the shop was only opened for the purpose of getting credit. Lord TENTERDIN said. however fraudulent such conduct might be, and however much to be reprebended,still such evidence could not sustain the indictment. The Jury accordingly acquitted the defendants. Lord TENTIRDEN said that persons in trade did not do them selves justice in giving credit so very readily as they appeared to have done In this and many other instances. ELLIS IP. WOODMAN. In this case the plaintiff appeared to conduct his own case, and Mr. Gnawer appeared for the defendant. It was an action to recover back ,Cl3O, paid as a deposit on some houses in George-yard, which had been sold at the Auction Mart. The plaintiff was present at the sale, and bid for the houses from the description of the lot in the catalogue. On the inspection of the houses subsequent to the sale, he found so many errors in the description of the lot that he refused to complete the purchase, and now sought to recover back the deposit which be had paid at the sale. The catalogue described the houses as brick-built houses, and it was proved that the upper stories were only partially of brick, the bick part being entirely of wood, which might be seen at a glance. The front was brick to the top, with a parapet wall. Upon this proof, Mr. Guantr said be would, offer no defence. The defendant bad sold as he had bought. Lord Tali:gangs said they were not brick-built houses. Mr. Guiterr—No, my Lord. A verdict was then taken for the plaintiff—Damages, £l3O. This was an action brought by the plaint ff, a livery. stable.keeper, against the defendant, who is a horse-dealer, for publicly imputing to the plaintiff certain acts of dishonesty, a nd applying to him se veral defamatory epithets. Mr. Guatisy conducted the plaintiff's case; Mr. Durmast and Mr. Purr appeared for the defendant. The following witnesses were examined in support of the plaintiff's case. John Angle—h the brother of the plaintiff; recollects the defend ant Alexander coming into his brother's yard, in January last, and asking him did a person of the name of Peers, who was a bankrupt, owe his brother any money? to which he replied, that his brother told him that Peers owed him no money. Defendant said that it was fortunate for him, as he bad a bill of Peers's just returned on him. Some days subsequently, the defendant came again into the yard, and asked him for his brother, when be told him that he was not at home. The defendant then said that his brother was a swindling thief, and was trading upon other people's money, and that he was an insolvent, and not able to pay half-a-crown or one and-sixpence in the pound. Those words were used in the open street, and in the presence of several people ; and in about a week after he was with his brother, when they met the defendant in Coleman-street, who then said," There goes the swindling thief;' and he continued this language up to the last fortnight. Cross-examined by Mr. DENMAN—Though his brother told him that Peers owed him no money, yet his brother proved a debt of 2001. under Peers's commission ; the reason he told the defendant that his brother told him so was, that be did not wish to tell the fact to a man of Alexander's description ; his brother never played the gray pitch and toss—(A laugh). He might have done so. George Britton was present at Peers's examination before the Commissioners, where he saw the plaintiff and defendant. The defendant told the plaintiff that he was a bankrupt-maker, and a false-prover under bankruptcies, and that the bankrupt Peers did not owe him one shilling ; and if it was not for his neighbours, that his house would look very queer. A person of the name of Pledger, the landlord of the Castle Tavern, Moorgate, proved the defendant coming into the coffee room of his house, in January last and there publicly stating that the plaintiff would be a bankrupt in a month, and was not able to pay balf.a-crown in the pound. On his crosrezamination, he ad. mitred ttat his house was a sporting one, and that previous to this ' the plaintiff and the defendant were in the habit of resorting to it, sad were on habits of intimacy. Other witnesses corroborated this witness, when Mr. Duaxan replied, and said that justice would be fully satis fied by giving the lowest possible damages, thereby leaving each party to pay their own costs. The cuter JUSTUS said this was not a case for heavy damages. The Jury consulted for a few minutes, Damages, 501. The repetition of Canova's statue of the Magdalen was made with the marble rut from between the legs of the statue of Napoleon which is now iii the Duke of Wellington's antechamber. A bust of Pius VII. was made froni the marble cut from under the arm. When this statue of Napoleon was embarked on the Tiber, for the purpose of being sent by water to France, it was placed in the vessel on a false moveable platform, in order that it might in three minutes be plunged into the eta, should the English cruisers approach too nearly.—(Stesseiketa Prawns:4a dans Rome) EGYPTIAN ANTlQurriEs.—Letters have been re raut 'ved at Marseilles from- ld.
