The Company have great pleasure in announcing to the Public, that since issuing their last Advertisements, they have availed them selves cf the opportunity of testing, by practical operations the utility and applicability of their Apparatus for Manufacturing Gas on the Premises of the Consumer, and they feel great pleasure in stating that it has!been adopted by the Birmingham, North Midland, and Midland Railway Companies, and is now in active use at the following Railway stations:— Tring Station Birmingham Line. Methley Station, North Midland Line. Kegworth Station, Midland Line. At which places it has been used with the utmost success, both as regards the Station and Signal Lights, producing in point of bril liancy and steadiness a most powerful light. The Apparatus has also been used at various Lace Mills and Factories, situate at Nottingham, Derby, and elsewhere, giving the greatest satisfaction. _ _ The full particulars whereof, and the purposes to which the inven tion is applicable, are embodied in the Company's Prospectus, which may be obtained of the Solicitor, and at the Company's Offices. In carrying out this invention, the Company hold out to the Share holders a return upon their capital of about 501. per cent. In stating this return at so large an amount of profit, it will be borne in mind that this Company have not to contend with any of the heavy ex penses to which other Gas Light Companies are subjected, such as large establishments for the manufacture of Gas, the erection and working of furnaces, steam-engines, laying down, taking up and re pairing of pipes, poor-rates, &c. .&e. To bring this valuable patent and profitable invention into opera tion, it is proposed to form a Company by raising the sum 01100,0001. in 5,000 shares of 201. each.

REDUCTION OF DUTY ON FRENCH BRANDY. COGNAC BRANDY, like the wine from which it is obtained, requires age for its perfection ; when old, it is the most wholesome of spirits, but when new it is deficient in its good and medicinal properties ; while, if adulterated with British Brandy, these valuable properties are lost, and, from a generous and invigorating cordial, it is changed into a coarse and inflammatory spirit. The great difficulty of procuring good genuine old Cognac Brandy, and the high duty charged upon it, have hitherto prevented many persons from using it ; but now that a good and genuine article may be obtained, and at a much more moderate rate, it is natural to ex pect a great increase in the consumption. To meet this demand, Mr. L. E. SEIGNETTE has determined to avail himself of his long and intimate acquaintance with the Brandy trade as an importer. He holds the largest stock of Cognac Brandy, pale and brown, in this country, and, in accordance with the wishes and recommendations of his numerous friends, he has taken out a Wholesale Dealer's Foreign License, which enables him to dispose of it in quantities of two gallons upwards, duty paid. lie pledges him self to sell none but the best Old Cognac Brandy, genuine as im ported, and carefully selected. To those who know him, he feels assured that this pledge will be satisfactory. To strangers, who can discriminate the soft and fla grant flavour of pure and matured Cognac from the coarse, ardent, and frequently adulterated spirit until now imposed on the public, he recommends a trial, with reliance on their judgment in favour of the superior quality of his Brandy. Mr. Seignette begs also to offer to the Public the best Hollands' Geneva that can be imported. Prices for Cash on delivery, in quantities not less than two gallons are— 245. per Gallon for best Brown Cognac Brandy. 265. 11, best Pale Ditto. 20s. ~ best Geneva (Ilollands).

While in a state of embryo all animals consist entirely of fluids. 3. It is from and by the fluids that the solids are formed. 4. The fluids contained hi the human body are four timee the weight of the solids. 5. The chief of the fluids is the blood, from which all the others are derived. 6. The blood not only repairs every part of the human machine, but'also carries with it all the rubbish, or decayed parts, to be depo sited in the intestines, previous to being expelled along with the excrement. I. The blood Is the life—the primum mobile—the first agenl i from 9B.l, N % ri e h ea cpthhu allpurity et c o e t honfdeihsuederiveh the purity e h ypu e e i r r , i o g f i t i. uponhe blood. h it T ing free outlets for its decayed particles. 10. Disease is induced by the choking up of these outlets in the bowels, by reason of an accumulation of glary mucous on the inner surface of the intestines, &c. 11. This accumulation is occasioned by anything that weakens the circulation or hurts digestion, but chiefly by the poisonous drugs and bad treatment of the faculty. 12. The impurities thus detained in the blood occasion every spe cies of disease, according to the quality of the humour, or the perri_ cuiar locality in which it is lodged. 13. All diseases proceed from one source, therefore they must all be cured by one medicine. 14. This medicine must be a vegetable purgative, innoxious in it self, yet sufficiently powerful to pervade the whole system, clear away the above-mentioned mucous, and purifyt he blood. 15. The discovery of a vegetable compound, capable of being di gested, and mixing with the blood, so as to impart to it that energy requisite for ridding the body of all superfluous humours was a iisideratum• discovery has been made by James Munson,i the Ilygelst, 16.

ANTHONY KING, an Officer in the Army of the Republic, and twenty-four years a resi dent in La Plata. London: Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans. On and after the Ist of Juno, THE DAILY NEWS, London Morning News• paper, at Twopence Halfpenny. The newspaper is the intellectual life of the nineteenth century. Not to speak of the moral and political safeguards which it affords, it place's all, whatever their varieties of position, on a level as to in formation. Only by its means is the small capitalist enabled to con tend successfully, against his wealthy rival for a knowledge of those changes which affect prices. ' Without the daily newspaper a family might as well be located in the back settlements of Canada as within ten miles of the great centre of European civilisation. These facts are felt—the gain is understood. It Is remarkable, then, that moren,mo than a century since there we re ei g hteen papers published in o daily, or three times a week —while now there are othe nly post and fifteen ! though the population has trebled , a nd, by means of other facilities, the whole kingdom has been brought within the easy range, and under the direct influence, of the London press.. In the city ofNew York more daily papers are published than in all England, Scotland, and Ireland, put toge ther. The circulation of papers in Paris exceeds that of London twenty-fold. Of a fut . So etitrtling, where lies the explanation?—Price 1 That the public know the advantage of haying a belly Paper, is manifest from the thousands who pay 3d. for a paper the day after publication.. What, then, are the causes which maintain the high price? First, the amount of capital required to be invested in a Newspaper speculation. Next, the various talent, knoWledge, and experience which must combine to produce the result. The number 1 4 an greatness of the requirements have , in truth, occasioned some thi very like a monopoly—and monopoly always conunands its own od se ce in all other things, nothing has been attempted, in the direc tion indicated, for the political, social, and intellectual. wants of three great nations; and a Daily Paper still remains a costly , luxury, ill which only the wealthy can indulge. The experiment is now about to be tried of establishing a London Daily Newspaper, on the highest scale of completeness in all its de partments, *high' shall look for support; not to comparatively few readers at a high price, but to many at a low price. Its success de pends upon the Public. i THE DAILY NEWS, From and after the Ist of June, Will be published at TWOPENCE lIALFPENNY. The paper will be of the same size as all other journals were within seven years ; it will be larger than many of the highioriced daily journals are now ; and, in every particular of interest, it will con tain as much information as the most successful amongst its contem poraries. But it will be expansive : and double sheets will be given whenever an important Debate, or a pressure of News or Advertise- 1 ments, seems to require it. • • • 1 The marking features of our scheme are, Ist. We give to the reader, in what we hope will be au improved and more convenient form, all thatibe can find in the most approved of our competitors; enlarging always our surface to embrace whatever of unusual inte rest the times may present. The difference between them and us will be only in that host of Advertisements, which we, too, will be happy 'to give. in 'an amtioaai sheet, whenever the public shall supply us with the occasion. 2ndly. To the reader,who now pays Fivepence for his paper, we offer the same thing at half the price; and to the man who hires his paper, a paper of his oven at about the cost of the hire.' It, then, only remains for the public to justify the experiment ; remembering that their interest in the issue is no less than our own. Let him who would support us In the Resemble attempt subscribe without delay. Every news agent will, we hope, supply the paper at twopence halfpenny, where payment is made in advance; the same propor tionate allowance as with other papers —something more than twenty-four per cent.—being allowed by the proprietors to the trade. When credit is given, it is a matter of private arrangement, with which the proprietors have nothing to do. As, hoWever, in an undertaking so bold and so novel, it is advisable to guard - against possible inconvenience, the proprietors of THE DAILY NEWS will undertake to get all persons supplied who shall forward a post-office order payable to Joseph Smith, Daily News Office, Whitefriars, London. For Three Months • Or any longer period at the same rate. Let all who. are interested in the success of this undertaking-and who is not ?—be active, and success is certain. THE DAILY NEWS will be published in time for the Morning Mails. ... £0 16s. 4d. Elegant pocket edition, price Is., by post Is. 6d. 1111. CULVEItWELL ON MARRIAGE, Its HINDRANCES and OBLIGATIONS.

THE SELF-ACCUSED SELF-ACCUSED THIEF AND MURDERER. -. . At Hammersmith Police-court, on Monday, Henry Norman, the man who recently accused himself of havingd at comitted numero us atrocities too great for belief, was place m the,bar for examination, having been brought up f r om Liverpool, where he was apprehended. The greatest cur iosity was ma nifested to behold him, and the Court was conse q uently crowded. The offence of which he was first accused was the robbe of Mr. Hoof, builder, in whose service the prisoner was as ry clerk when he absconded, about three weeks since, with upwards of 501. The prisoner was most respectably dressed. He is about five feet six inches high, dark hair and eyes, pale thin face, and took his station quite unconcerned at the serious situa tion in which he was placed. A solicitor said he attended on the part of Mr. Hoof, to prze r cut r i n n l. his case. Ho then called clerk to Mr. Roof, Smith, who deposed that he was chief 4 and ic lived in Brown's -buildings, • oo who, up to the 18th of n ir v ' High street, Kensington. Hoof's service. On that day the prisoner, Henry Norman, was also a clerk in Mr. eleven o'clock in the forenoon, the 18th of April), about with gave the prisoner 521. in gold and silver moneys, directions to go, as he had before, with it to the Equitable Company's works, at Stanford -bridge, King's-road, Fulham, 454 i s employ. and with with him the other men in Mr. ' ll a o n o d r. pay fitness the foreman, gold and 71. in -Ive shillings, e t n t nt b e bar, had not seen ness believed he gave the prisoner silver, and he was to pay the foreman twa and jointly with him the other men. the prisOner since, until he then saw him George Arnold deposed that he was foreman ove ITADf's men at the gas factory. On the forenoon of Saturday, the the 18th of April, he saw the prisoner between ten and eleven . ' o'clock. He .saw the prisoner in Mr. Hoof's office at Medeley. House, Kensington, since which time be ha d not d not a tt ain seen him until in that Court. The prisoner on that nay bring witness any money, neither did he pay any of the men at the factory, Mr. Clive, here asked Inspector Havill. if the case was quite complete for the depositions to be taken ? Inspector Havill said, Mr. Hoots case was fully complete, but he had .to apply that-the prisoner might be remanded, as he had reasons to beL'f.lve that, if time were given, other charges of a mat serious' cll.tracter would be brought for ' ward against the prisoner. Mr. Clive asked the prisoner if he wished to say anything • at that stage of the inquiry ? ! The prisoner said he had nothing at present to say on the subject. Mr. Clive then said, sufficient evidence had been taken to warrant him in remanding the prisoner for a week. The prisoner. was then removed from the bar, and accom ▪ panied the gaoler with a smile playing on his countenance. PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY. The nineteenth anniversary festival of this society, than which there is none more worthy, was held on Monday at the Loudon Tavern ; the Right Hon. Lord Dudley C. Stuart in the chair. andT inhefiorbm printers jectoft a bis n er teiehller widows, ntinstitu by granting isgrtaontrinelg pensions ea i g o e n d s of twelve guineas per annum to the men, and eight guineas per annum to the women. The annual subscription to the society is only five shillings, which gives a vote at all elec tions, as does every extra five shillings an additional vote ; two guineas paid at once giving a vote for l i fe , and five guineas three votes for life. The subscribers for the most part belong to the printing business; and the regularity 'of the payments of the journeymen show that they are provi dent and thrifty. The society appears to be in a prospe rous condition, having funded upwards of 4,0001., and having on the books at present fifty-two male and female annuitants. The usual loyal and national toasts having been gone through, The CHAIRMAN proposed the healths of the oint-patrons, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and his Grace the Duke of Northumberland, which Were received with acclamation. The Rev. M. LAIrG next proposed the " Worshipful Com pany- of Stationers," who are large contributors to this clay, to which toast Mr. R. TAYLOR, as , a member of tha t bod y , responded. . The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the toast to honour which they had assembled, "Prosperity to the Printers' Pension Society." He very much regretted that he had not sufficient power of oratory to do justice to this toast, for it involved so many important views and considerations that the most able man could scarcely hope to do it justice. The firstgreat ob ject, however, was that of charity.—(Cheers.) That this was a charity possessing the highest claims could not be doubted when they looked'to its character and the condition of those whom it was intended to serve. It was well known that the life of a printer was that of certain deterioration 'of health and shortness of the duration of existence. The very atmosphere they breathed, the very metal they handled, the alternations of heat and ,cold, the nightly duration of their work, in fact everything connected with their business, was tending' to the grave ; not only that, but at an early period of life they were subject to the certain injury of, to them, that all-import:o sense, sight, often to its destruction. The vast importance of printing—who could venture to embrace it? How could the world at all go on without it?' What class of society was it not a. necessary of life to? The merchant, the professional man, the man of science, the artist ; the rich, the poor, the grave, the gay, the young and the old, were all alike compelled to have recourse to it. It was equally necessary for the dis seminator of the great lights of the Gospel, and of the most trifling business advertisement.—(Cheers.) There w#s no interest in society that it did not embrace, and it therefore behoved all classes of society to support this institution. — (Cheers.) He was proud of the honour of being called upon to preside there that day, and however humble his exertions, no man could feel more warmly for the interests of the so ciety than lie did, and with the same feeling he was sure they would all receive the toast.—(Cheers.) The toast having been received with universal applause, The SEaRITARY read the report of subscriptions for the evening, which amounted to a handsome sum, inclu din g 70 gtindas from the journeymen printers; the Chairman, 10 guineas ; Luke J. llansard, Esq., 501.; 11. Taylor Esq., 5 gui neas; Mr. sergeant Talfourd , 5 g uineas ; Gilbert A. it'Beckett, Esq., 5 guineas, &c. Mr. TAThort rose to propose the "Health of their excellent Chairman," a noblemati Who was as much distinguished for his literary attainments as for his amiable and benevolent disposition ; known all over the world as the friend of humanity, freedom, and charity.—(Cheers.) He (Mr.. Taylor) had an opportunity_ a few evenings ago of seeing how their worthy Chairman was honoured by the presence of the noblest, the best, and the most patriotic and able of the land, who congregated to assist at the presentation of a gift of gratitude to his Lordship for his benevolent and per severing exertions in the cause of the gallant, the oppressed Poles.—(Great• cheering.) He felt the greatest pride in having such a man, so esteemed and so honoured, presiding over them that day, and the least return they could make to 'him was to drink his health with enthusiasm. The toast was indeed received as recommended, with en thusiasm, and The CHAIRMAN, in reply, said that he could a dd but little to what he had already stated scene the value of the press. He did feel great pride at the of which he was the Taylor alluded. It object on Saturday last, to which Mr. was a pride grounded on the consciousness of having done a sacred duty towards an oppressed people, whose; cause was wound round his heart—(Cheers) --but surrounded as wa s on that day by the noble, the wealthy, and the good, he diet not feel more pride in that assemblage than he did in his present position amongst a valuable class of industrious and honest men.—(Cheers.) He recollected that while sitting by the side of the chairman, Lord Morpeth, on Saturday, he said to his Noble Friend, " Proud as I am of this splendid banquet, and of those who attend it to do me honour, there is a man I see there below that it gives me more pride and pleasure to see than all. besides." Who is that ?" asked Lord Morpeth. I replied, "My old friend, Richard Taylor." —(Great cheering.) He th a nked thenmost cordially for the manner in which they had received his health; and, as the subject of the Poles had been mentioned, there were several of those unhappy gentlemen, of great genius, talents, and industry, to employ whom would do credit to any man.—(Cheers.) He believed his friend Mr. Taylor em ployed some in his establishment, and there was one of those unfortunate exiles who had discovered a mode of applying the co:nmon type to the use of the blind—a midst trompnr tant discovery. His Lordship s at down am cheering.

ELECTRIC TELEGRAM—At the sitting of the Aca demy of Sciences in Paris, on the 4th instant, two letters were re ceived on the subject of electrical telegraphs—one from Mr. Morse. of the United States, the other from M. Brcguet. Mr. Morse, who. as well as Mr. Bath, has now before the Academy his plan of tele graphs, which he considers to be superior to that hitherto adopted in France, writes that, in consequence of the success of the experi ments made with his system, he has been charged by tae Govern ment of the United States with the construction of several lines of telegraph, covering a total extent of 300 leagues. lie adds, that the apparatus for signals, which he presen ted to the Academy of S Aences during his stay in Paris, is found to answer admiorablyt'., and performs sixty signs per minute. The chief object f Breguet's letter is to remove all doubt m to the po wer of the electric fluid when its transmission to a g reat distance is required. M. Breguet informs us that, by a co mbination of his thr app leear4us, eshe, has transmitted the fluid over a distance of thirty-t he found the without increasing the power of his battery', and tha circulation as complete as for a shorter distance. Another point in M. Breguet ' s communication relates to the question as substi tution of iron for copper wire. The use of iron wire had been recom mended by way of economy, but an objection had been raised on the as copper, and that supposition that iron was not so g the economy in the first cost woulodobclea conductorore than counterbalanced by wmerful battery than is required the permanent expense of a more for copper wire. M. Breguet's experiments prove, that iron may be used with as much certainty as copper.

PRICE 5D - SOCIETY. The anniversary dinner of the members and friends of this valuable institution was held on Monday evening, at the London Tavern,,the Hon. Baron Platt in the chair. There an unusually large attendance, particularly of the fair sex, and the enthusiasm exhibited during the even ing augurs favourablyfor the prosperity of this society, which has been declining. After the cloth had been removed, . The ,Cumassast proposed the "Health of her Majesty the Queen," who, he stated,had beerigraciously pleased to foivrard a donation of 301., and to direct that the institution should henceforth be designated Royal.—(Cheers.) The toast having been drunk with all the. honours, The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, the " Health of the Queen Dowager," expressed a hope that her Majesty would yet become a subscriber to the society.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN said he had now to propose the " Health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert."—(Hear, and cheers.) That illustrious personage had been a friend to their so ciety when it stood most in need of a friend, and when an appeal had been made on its behalf he was one of the first to come forward and assist in rescuing it from its depressed con dition.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN, in giving the next toast, the "Army and Navy," passed a high eulogium on both, and adverted in glowing terms to the recent achievements in India. The toast having been drunk with all the honours, The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the Royal General Annuity Society." He said, in calling their attention to the society for the pro motion of which they had assembled, it would be his duty to call their attention to its past and present history.—(Hear.) The society was instituted in 1827, and on the first year of its establishment no less than forty individuals became the recipients of its bounty.—( Hear.) 'The success of the society increased, and the next year no less than thirty-eight persons more were added to the list, making, on the second yeas' of its existence, a total of seventy-eight individuals deriving support from its funds.—(Cheers.) T he societ and in y con tinued ued in this prosperous and improving condition, were enabled to admit eight candidates, and thereby to con tribute to the necessities of no less a number than ninety persons.—(Cheers.) Thus far th e societ y bad proceeded, but its subsequent career was not in _conformity with the :promise heldforth the first few years of its existence. It be essentially necessary shortly afterwa rds to diminish duce e4-te- sell a their number, and but six individuals were admitised the following year. From that period down to 1845 no election gelled place, their pension to males to 15s. a week. pe l rt n y lh an is and to support the institution they were cora , - portion of their funded pro philantl l ia arg th e ei to r things a meetingof the society, n was held in that' room on behalf ..opicwho bad the management to persevere induce' t h o se ad public atte e n d lio the result was had at that time dwindlfro a collection sufficiently d st t a o te r rem (Ch rn ee ninety to nineteen pensioners, exertions, and the institution, which of 5601. was has rapidly prospered.— At the meeting, over 250/. were collected, which his friend lUr.

It was to support that institution, with whose nature and utility they were now acquainted, that they had met there that evening, and in doing so they were called on to exercise the highest function that belonged to humanity, namely, to render good to their fellow-man. 'Their institution yielded to none in its peculiar sphere of utility. Its object was to assist those who had once been, perhaps, as well situated as themselves, but who from cir cumstances over which they could exercise _no influence, were hurled from prosperity, and that at a period of life when the energies had been expended, and the time for exertion had passed away. It was to relieve those with whom they had sympathies in common, and who were unable to relieve themselves, that theywere now called upon, and he trusted that that appeal would be cordially responded to. In conclusion, he would give them the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the Royal General Annuity Society." The toast was drunk with all the honours. The SECRETARY then read the report, after which the health of the several officers of the institution and other ap propriate toasts were drunk. con l s n i d t e h r e a cos ble ur fa e s t o e f , thanedetvheenicongmspeavneyraldisdonngots se we p r a e ra s te nn un g w u i l th a late hour.

Bentinck (though no real contest), it is well known, was a " lavish expenditure ;" when we take into account that there was not necessity_for all which his Lordship's partizans did. Add this to the sum subscribed to assist Mr. Hildyard's re turn,-and I think the Duke, by this time, knows that he has " paid the piper."—Yours, &c. A N ELECTOR. I North Nottinghamshire, May 16. THE CORN BlLL.—This Bill, which, as is usual with all Bills that have passed the Commons and are ay afternoon " in waiting on " to the be carried up to the Lords, was lying on Mond Speaker's ori ptaobrtle.,,nacp.p.arTenhtleyanrriot.lattor,ckinrg. G aly no no ( ti t c h e o either by a is o t bulk f the Committees of Ways and Means and Supply), however, and his advance to the table to remove the important measure, at once changed the scone around it. Mr. Greene had scarcely moved from the table towards the bar, when a vast number of Members arose frem all quarters of the House (save that of the Protectionists), ap parently glad of the opportunity of doing honour to the resalt of their own long labours, and to the great principle which it involved. Such a rush towards the door, and by so many Members at once, we do not recollect to have seen since the memorable " going up" of the Reform Bill after it had passed the Commons. —Times. SERIOUS ROBBERY.—On Monday a robbery of very serious amount was committed upon the premises of Mr. Sawyer, a livery-stable •keeper, iu the Curtain-road, Shoreditcle On inquiry, it appeared that yesterday morning he placed a bag containing 691. be bank notes, and 401. in gold and silver, in a cupboara in his counting house, and another bag containing 71. 10s. in a desk, with directions to his foreman to take the larger amount to the banker's in the course of the day. Both cupboard and desk were locked, as was also the counting-house door ; but, about two o'clock in the afternoon, where the foreman went to execute his commission, he discovered that the place had in the m:antime been entered, the desk and cupboard broken open, and the throb ags, containing upwards of 1071., stolen. Information was immediaely given to the police, and the °teers, upon inspection, had no dour;t that the robbery had been committed by some person well acquainted with the premises. lIILL's PRINTING PRESB.—This is a very ingenious Invention; by which, by means of hand labour, and. without the aid of steam power, a hand printer is enabled to produce impressions with a rapidity-far beyond anything that the hand-press, or any press not worked by steam, has hitherto produced. The hand presses hitherto hi use have done comparatively very little to ex pedite the printing and multiplying of copies, and the hand printer has not progressed much beyond the state in which he was placed at a very early period of the art of printing. Those who have made printing, and the machinery by which it is worked their study, affirm, that although within a comparatively few years more than thirty patents have been taken out to secure inventions connected with the machinery of presses, and to enable hand printers to increase the celerity of the process, taiy Pre still, as far as speed is concerned, no nearer the attainment of the object than they would have been had the old German press been still continued in use. For though in the construction and mechanism, and in the machinery and the materials emplored In hand presses, many very great irnproveraents have been made, and many important facilities secured to the wor kmen, yet, in point of quickness in p roducing the work required, very little,if anything has been effected, and the slowness of production hashiboe come the more observable from the extraordinary rapiditywith w o le the steam-press multiplies copies. The small printer _ i o l trn x, e . t; m.. r course, use the steam-Press ; the machinery, from . its D invontion, ' tat and expedite his labours, is plexity, and great ex therefore, which tends to Cecil" e _ his Inquiry and meant. therefore important, and Werth../ r ee o en at his residence, lie, 28', This invention of Mr. Mill is . te: b pew N beyond his means , t 6,1 in such subjects, the - Stamfbrd-street, and to those i copies in the ratio of four to one machine, though lt een e. i s] eneral use, do not exceed those of the over the hand-Presses n /1". p . r . v ti fi piy t nand pleasure.

I ts worked by hadplicity a construction is also a great advan generally in use, for it has neither tage over presses tooth-wheel, rack, or pinions for giving motion, neither baa it the tapes fbr conveying the paper, so that the inconvenience and the trouble of those portions of a press getting mit of order are avoided altogether ; in short, a strong lad can work off from 1,200 to 1,500 impressions per hour with less labour and exertion than is re quired by the common hand-presses to work off 300 impressions. The invention is, of course secured by patents, and the inventors, therefore, make no concealment of their press, but are anxiOW that the public should see it and judge for themselves of its merits. EQUESTRIAN STATUE OF HER MAJESTY.—A private view of Mr. James Wyatt's equestrian statue of her Majesty was afforded on Saturday last to a select circle of the nobility, on the invitation of the artist. We understar.d the same privilege will be afforded to alimited number of visitors o n e ve r y succeeding Wednea day and Saturday prior to the removal of the work. FULDA, MAN 13.—About nine o'clock this evening ii dreadful fire broke out in the Langbruckstraase. At midnight nearly all that part of the ancient town was destroyed. Who the latest accounts left (early iii the morning of the 14th), the fire had not been got under. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. -- The weather during the week has been uniformly fine, and, notwithstanding the prevalence of the east wind, vegetation of liall sorts continues to make a very favourable progress. The young wheat and other grain look potatoes, we have not he ard of any remarkably well, and although , as y ars relative to that crop: e ef t, is known about the Carlisle Patriot. PIGEON-FLYING FROM BRIGHTON.—On Monday • pigeon-flying match took place from Brighton, between Mr. Benjouniix Bates, of Southwark -bridge-road, and Mr. Cope, of Friar-street. Blackfriars-road, for Si. a-side. The birds were thrown about noon, and left the place in excellent style. Mr. Cope's pigeon reached its home in one hour and thirty minutes, while Mr. Bates's bird suc ceeded in acco mplishing the distance in One hour and a quarter. The bird which won the match is one of an extensive stock of half-bred carriers in the possession of Mr. Bates. TERMINATION OF THE MINERS' STRIKE.—The miner* of South Staffordshire, who were out on strike, finding that their employers were indifferent as to their resuming work at present, though willing to re-engage them on former terms, have returned to their bits. The rate of wages paid is about 3s. 9d. a day. .e —Monday " there is ; it is caused by the wind through the cracks yon have ' - NV IL tDISSIPATION AND SUICIDE.—Ori Saturday, Mr. a 'VI M.P., held an inquest at the Elephant and Castle, Virg's-road. tooß AmLLucOhOnNuttAerscinENtTh ascended once more witk his magnificent balloon, the Albion, frost ~eyveien,,in,grephruedr. th C . .

The weather was unpropitious for such an exhibition, and so boisterous during most the evening that the balloon heaved and bounded from side to side at a tearful rate, frequently bowing down to the very ground, and sweeping the heads of the spectators, and then rebounding with such violence as to ma p many of the cords by which it was restrained. Several men, holding the guide lines, were seen with their hands cut and covered with blood. The ascent took place about twenty minutes before eight, when the balloon, bearing the veteran, and his brother, Mr. H. Green, being released, rose in good style, and went off with great velocity towards Hertfordshire. THE CRACKS IN THE DOME OF S. PETER'S AT Rom.—At the last meeting of the Institute chair man,in allusion of Architects, the to the numerous cracks which wore erroneously sup posed to have endangered the edifice, reminded the meeting of art tcdote recorded of one of the later architects connected with the cathedral.
