RAISING WATER discovered by the FOUN TAIN PUMPS, which roll tke water upwards, without either friction or faltering, therefore can never be surpassed ; coise quently this is the most important discovery ever node for the pre servation of life and property either at Sea or on Laid. AT SEA numerous ships it has already saved, and the captains gratefully ac knowledge the glorious results. Two testimonial extracts shall slake : " Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountalu Pump being fitted in the Caroline, its great power was the means of saving the ship and 230 souls on board, two seams in the bottom being partly left without calking." " The Argas brig, from Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days oat at sea, and soon after her common pump cheaked and became use less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foun tain Pinup, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was in ac tion without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely in London. with a thank God for Le Fountain Pump." ON LIND the New Portable Fire-engines are if infinitely better service than a ire brigade. They act instantaneously at the outbreak of a Are. " We are delighted with the invention—it is a great boil to so clety."—Rditors Liverpool Mail. The New Portable Fire-engines have preserved a large portion •f Norwich iron destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on ire In aid near the city, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly, including in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and In the eleven, Messrs. Herten's dyery, and 12,0001. worth of consigned pre perty ; Stoke mustard, starch, and lour mills, and Messrs. Butcher's grocery warehouses, just in time to prevent a large quantity of gun powder therein from exploding, which must have spread &mud de struction and death. " North Waltham.—lt this fire the Portable Engine was of great service, and by having one of them ready, there is no doubt bat half the property now destroyed might have been saved."—Norfolk Chro nicle, August 22, 1846. At a Norwich fire June 2, 1847, the two Portable Engines were the pets of the public. The cry was, feed the little engines and they will do the work, which proved true. The four large engines present proved useless. Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozen atmo spheres. Now the fast is this, all former Force Pumps, Lift-force Pumps, Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines they rub, grub, and scrape the water upwards by friction, which wastes two-tiftlis of the power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young and Hutton, with many other eminent experimenters, lamented thus —The quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom exceeCs half the power consumed, after overcoming friction and leakage ; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world had tried in vain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects in hydraulic machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is won, and won for ever ; for friction and leakage are low both annihilated by the new rolling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented from twelve to twenty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with out more outlay. Most risen can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 40 seeonds,:but some men drop at minute time. With a best now heavy working Fric tion Pump an active sound-winded young man if 140 lbs. weight can raise 10,000 lbs. of water ono foot high in a minute, and with a Foun tain rump 9,008 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continued and most extraordinary literally, advantage is gained over perpetual and anl versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power. John Clenton Roberts, Esq., in his popular work, No. 1,110, did well in placing Gosset's French Pump Abortion (that slaps the water upward) side by side with the Fountain Pump, which upset a good deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump maker, Mr. liaddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr. Ewbank, America, an ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the two pumps were identical. But the Yankee out-fooled John Bull and Paddy iu No. 1,183, and in No. 496, Book-maker Millington's remarks are preposterous. However, on the other hand, Dr. Birk beck, Aberdour, Hay, Parkington, with many other discerning men, after witnessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the rolling principle, gave the invention the following true and sustain able character:—The Fountain Pump is the most important Improve ment in the art of raising water that has appeared within the last two thousand years—the greatest advancement in the useful arts in modern times. The Consammation Fountain Pumps are successfully carried out for private and plane uses, at lifts below and above 100 feet altitude, for man, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per stroke to 105 barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed at less cost than common pumps.

They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will never change col iur or decay, and will be found ♦ery superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operatic., and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible.

" I have sew for thirteen years conducted the Exeter Hygeian Dis pensary, wherein the poor of Exeter and its neighbourhood have been treated gratuitously with Mr. Morison's purely Vegetable Medicine if the British College of Health, and I am still more confirmed in my opinion (from practical experience, not in one or two cases, but in hundreds), that the Hygeian system Is founded in truth. The cases which have been cured by that excellent medicine have not been ei a common character, being, as I may say, the incurables of the hos pitals at Exeter, it being only after trying all sorts of treatment that patients have recourse, as a last resort, to the Hygeian medicines.

The operationi of this Society will be regulated by Tables prepared expressly for that purpose by two eminent actuaries. The leading principles of this Society are 1. Perfect equality of benefit between all the Members, whether borrowers or not. 2. Certainty in the amount of advance to which each Member wishing to anticipate his Shares will be eatitled at any given period of the Society's existence, with the means of ascertaining precisely at any date the amount payable to retiring Members, and the value of the Sharet of continuing Members. Members may pay up the whole or any portion of their subscrip tions fir the ten years, in advance, and discount, after the rate of 41. per Cent. per annum, will be allowed for the sums so paid. Members wishing to withdraw their Subscriptions may do so after the first year, without fine ; and subsequently to that period com pound interest at the rate of W. per Cont,per annum will be allowed upon the swag - withdrawn. Shares may be transferred free estArnp duties. Ity the plan adopted in this Society sew Members entering at any period, and all Members taking up additional Shares, may have oars advanced to them without paying up arrears of Subscriptions ; and the precise amounts that will be advanced either to old or new Members, are set forth in the Tables, a copy of whicll will be sup plied to every Member. This is manifestly far prefers.* to the un equal and objeetioaable system usually adopted of putting the shares ep to auction, and advancing the money to those who submit to the largest diseottnt ; by which 'le ans the object of the Legislature, which contemplated that each Member should derive precisely the some advantage, is entirely frustrated. The monthly subscription, both to the borrowing and non-borrow ing Members, is precisely the same, and continues the same to the end of the Society; borrowers are, therefore, relieved from the heavy monthly " redemption fee," and the mutual principle is car ried into full operation. No Member has any responsibility beyOnd the payment of his own subscriptions. Prospectuses and copies of Rules may be obtained at the office of the Society, 16, Old Broad-street.

PLYMOUTH, FEB. 2 5.--Her"Majesty's sloop Per sian, 16, Commander Henry Coryton, which sailed from Bermuea on the Bth inst., arrived here last evening. Dispatches for the Admiralty were imme diately landed from her at Plymouth, and conveyed to Port Admiral Sir John West, at Devonport. The Persian has brought no passengers, but some of the crew of the convict ship Medway, stationed at Ber muda, have come home in her. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Growler was at Ber muda, and has just completed a quarantine of six weeks ; her newly appointed captain, Commander Hall, who has been ill of the fever, was recovered. The new schooner Bermuda, building on the island, was not yet off the slips. The. Persian is bound to Portsmouth. On the 14th inst.

Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. . . . . _ Marriage reqeires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could itbe traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap sointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on -he nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to tie human frame, than any ether to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and if their relative conditions la health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more Importance than the preservation of the health, and if the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the auhappy victim of excessive indulgeles and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or trona the follies of advanced age, while sal:tering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but eireneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach if art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, aid, above all, secrecy, lava risbly characterise the intelligent aid practical physician, and ti the inedical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LI'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

FORCIBLE ENTRY INTO A HOUSE BY ARMED MEN.—At about tan o'clock last night, a man named Henry Hoskisson, butcher, of this town, arrived on horseback, at the police-station, Avenham-street, with particulars of an outrage which had been committed at Broughton, last night. Hoskisson states that at about eight o'clock in the evening, five men, apparently i nays es, with their faces blackened, and armed with fire arms, entered the farm-house of Mr. Richard Cottam, Crow-hall, near I3roughton, and demanded money. Mr. Cottarn and a party of friends were playing a game at the time the men entered his house. Hoskisson also states that a gun was fired by one of the robbers, but cannot say whether any party was shot, or whether any money or property was taken. Two of the men were tall and dressed as navvies; a third party wore a suit .1 cut fustiqn; and another wore a suit of uncut fustian. The fifth was a short man, wearing a jacket. Af ter leaving Mr. Cottam's premises the ruffians took ft e road towards Lancaster. We understand that Walters, superintendent of the county constabulary, and some of the county force were promptly dispatched on horseback to the scene of outrage. — Preston Chronicle.

MADEIRA —Her Majesty's steamer sloop Acheron, Captain John Lort Stokes, commissioned for survey _ing-service, arrived at Madeira frriu'Rnghuul on the 30th of January, and landed di patches hier Majesty the Queen Dowager. She sailed on the 3d inst. for New Zealand. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Hydra, Commander Grey Skipwith, arrived at the island of Madeira on the 31st ultimo from England, and was refitting on the 6th instant, prior to sailing for the south-east coast of America, to place herself under the orders of Commodore Herbert. Her Majesty's brigantine Bonetta, Lieutenant E. Forbes, arrived at Madeira from St. Michael's, on the 3d instant, on her way to the western coast of Africa. Her Majesty's steamer Jackal, Lieutenant George Western, arrived at Madeira, with dispatches from Lisbon for the Queen Dowager, on the 6th inst. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.--Her Majesty's steam sloop Rosamond, Commander John Foote, sailed from Simon's Bay for Algoa Bay, with the Governor- General Sir Harry Smith, on the 11th of December, and returned, after landing him, on the 14th. Her Majesty's ship President, 50 guns, Admiral Dacres, returned to Simon's Bay from the Mauri tius and the Mozambique Channel, on the 15th of December. The boats of this frigate and of the Eurydice, 26 guns, have had an encounter with the natives off the town of Angorha, in which nine men were wounded. Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, Bart., G.C.8., Commander-in Chief in the Mediterranean, has de tained the steamers Flamer, Meteor, and Volcano, which vessels were ordered home to be paid off, the Admiral deeming their services of importance during the Sicilian movement. CHINA.—Her Majesty's steam-ship Daedalus, 20 guns, Columbine, 16, and Vulture steamer, were at Hong-Kong on Dec. 30th. The 'Vernon, 50 guns, Rear-Admiral Inglefield, arrived at Madras, Dec. 31st, from Singapore ; the Fox, 42, and Acorn, 18, were also at Madras at that date ' • the Ringdove,l6, was at Singapore, J anuary 7. The Medea steam-sloop sailed thence on the 18th of December for Lebuan. The Melampus, 44 guns, and Royalist, brig, were on their way to Canton from Singapore on the 30th Dec., having suddenly left the latter place in con sequence of dispatches received from Sir John Davis, demanding of the Admiral additional strength in that quarter, a necessity for which he contemplated might arise out of a refusal on the part of the Chinese autho rities to afford that redress for the murder of six Englishmen which Sir John had determined to en force. Her Majesty's sloop Scout, 12 guns, and the Hon. East India Company's steamer Pluto were at Amoy on the 30th of December. These vessels had suc cessfully engaged a fleet of Chinese pirates in that neighbourhood; a great number were killed and wounded, and several prisoners captured. The affair was a gallant one. The pirates attacked the Scout in the most daring manner. THE COASTDEFENCES.-It is , proposed to main tain at each of the principal ports, four steam-sloops, ready armed and equipped for immediate use in case of need. These steamers will not be commissioned, but after taking their guns and stores on board, will be placed in ordinary, where they will remain, so as to he ready to act on the defensive at a few days' no tice, and in cases of great emergency, in a few hours. It is also proposed to keep at each of the same ports the armament and equipment for twenty-two ships of war and steamers. This number will include armaments for all those likely to be fitted in the year at each port. There is nothing going on at the home ports which needs mention at length. The measles have broken out in the Java freight ship, having 630 of the 16th Regiment on board for Corfu. She has been detained at Spithead by gales and foul winds since Monday last. It is expected now the troops must be landed at hospital or put in quarantine. The dock which broke in at Portsmouth about a fortnight ago was pumped nearly dry, but the deluges of rain which have been daily and nightly falling have increased the difficulty of keeping the dock dry very much. We understand there is something wrong in the proceedings of the new steam basin at Plymouth. Captain Dairo Price, Superintendent of Sheerness D oc kyard, and all the other officers who were ap -84 guns, a t th a t por t, h ave pointed to the Ganges , been transferred to the Wellington, 72 guns, which will be fitted as the depot-ship for Sheerness.

S 1 17 N 7 PP.:BR tiARY '2 8 , 1848. AMERICAN NEWS. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY MORNING. By the royal mail steam-ship Acadia, Captain Stone, we have advices from New York to the 11th, Boston to the 12th, and Halifax to the 15th inst., re• spectively. The Acadia has brought about 9,0001. in specie on freight. The steam-ship Hibernia and the screw steam-ship Sarah Sands had arrived out. Our political advices by this arrival are totally de void of interest. In Congress the Ten Regiments Bill was still undecided. A resolution for providing a portion of the expenditure called for by the war by direct taxation was rejected. The proposed loan had been reduced from eighteen and a half to sixteen million of dollars. Our Mexican advices are unchanged. The rumours of peace had received no official confirmation. Our dates from the city of Mexico are to the 13th ult., at which time Mr. Trist was still there, waiting, it is probable, until the •Mexican Congress sitting at Queretaro should come to some definite result as to the recent negotiations. It was rumoured that a body of 10,000 Mexican troops, under the command of General Bustameute, were marching upon Saltillo. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, FEB. 11.—The last advices by the Acadia bad the effect of depressing the prices of all our produce. The crop of the United States last year, of which the official estimates by the Patent office at Washington have just been given to the public, show an enormous produce. The news brought by the Sarah Sands produced very little effect upon the markets. Private accounts, it was said, gave more favourable statements of the prices of breintst - nft - -than,those coptained in the English papers. While the latter left the inference of a decline, the former represented an advance in Indian corn and meal, while flour and cotton remained about the same. There continued to be a good domestic demand for fair to good Western brands of flour, and sales were made, chiefly for supplying eastern orders, in separate lots, at prices about the same as those current before the news. Sales of Genesee wheat were made before the news on terms stated below. Sales of corn were moderate, and on terms which indicated no material change in prices. Sales of rye were made on terms somewhat in favour of buyers. Oats remained about the same. Sales of meal were made pretty freely, without change of moment in prices. Ashes Sales of some 80 barrels pearls were made at 8 dolls. 25c., and 25 barrels of pots at 5 dolls. 87ic. to 6 dolls. Breadstuffs.—Flour—Common Genesee was pretty freely offered at 6 dolls. Before the news 100 barrels sold at that price. Sales of about 1,000 barrels were also made, chiefly for filling eastern orders, including strait brands of Michigan, Genesee, &c., at 6 dolls. Some small lots of pure Genesee were made at 6 dolls. 25c. to 6 dolls. 37 -c. Small lots of Ohio, in all about 200 barrels, were made, including fair brands, at 6 dolls. ; and fancy ditto, at 6 dolls. 50c. Wheat— Sales of 3,000 bushels of Genesee NJ ere made, before the news, at 1 doll. 33c. Corn—Sales of 2,000 bushels of yellow were made on private terms; 3,000 ditto of handsome yellow, at 62ic. ; and 2,000 Northern mixed, a little out of order, at 59c. Meal—Sales. of 600 barrels of Brandywine were made at 2 . i3/15. 87ic. ; and 300 ditto New Jersey were reported sold at '2 dolls. 75c. Rye—Sales were reported at 88c.; and . some 2,000 bushels of Canal oats at 50c. • Cotton—The market exhibited a chill 'and declining aspect. The few sales made to-day were to manu facturers, and were not made under circumstances to show the effect of the news by the Sarah Sands, being withal inconsiderable in amount. Provisions—Sales of 300 barrels new mess pork were made on private terms, and 75 barrels ditto were reported sold (it was said on rather forced terms) at 9 dolls. 50c. Dealers generally demanded 10 dolls., while there appeared no buyers above 9 dolls. sc. ; 6 dolls. 75c. was offered for new prime. Lard was quiet at previous rates. There was no change in beef. Cheese—Sales of 40,000 lbs. common Western were made at sc. to 6c. There was no change in butter. Rice—The market was quiet, and no sales of ":„mo ment were reported. Salt—A small sale by auction of 50 sacks Liverpool at 1 doll. 4.5 c. -Freights—Small - engagements were made for Li verpool at ls. 6d. ; for grain 6d. continued to be asked, and 3 16d. for cotton. Rates to the Continent con tinued inactive. The ship Thomas Wright was char tered by the Government for Vera Cruz, to carry out 400 soldiers and 10 officers. 1 O'CLOCK, P.m. The sales at the Stock Exchange this morning were to about the usual extent. State Stocks and Government Securities were firm. Treasury notes, 99i. United States Sixes of '67, 101. Exchange on England firm at 1101. Cotton—Since the arrival of the Acadia the sales have not been to sufficient extent to test the market, which appears to be heavy at quotations. Flour—The demand for Western Canal is confined to the wants of the city trade and the eastern mar kets, for which moderate sales are made at 5 dolls. 87Ic. to 6 dolls. Prime Genesee and Southern flour is held at 6 dolls. nic. to 6 dolls. 181 c. Corn continues in fair request at 58c. to 621 c. Ashes are firm—pots, 6 dolls., and pearls, 8 dolls. 25c. per 100. Exchange on England is tending upwards, and best city bills may now be quoted at from 10i to 104; other bills, however, equally good perhaps, but less known, may be had at or under 10. While the rate is under 101, coin cannot be shipped to advantage; but if the cotton shipments shall still be held back and little other produce goes forward, bills will be scarce, rates will advance, and then again shipments of coin may recommence. Exchanges on London, 110 to 1101 ; ditto on Paris, 5 26i to 5.27#; ditto on Amsterdam, 40i to 40k; ditto on Hamburgb, 351 to 3* ditto on Bremen, 774 to 78k. [PR ICE bl. ear; Macon, 43,000 against 22,000 last year; Co lumbus, 28,000 against 19,000 last year; Montgo mery, Alabama, 23,000 against 15,000 last year. On Monday and Tuesday, the two business days following the departure of the Cambria, the market remained dull and inanimate, with sales of about 400 bales for the home trade, with the exception that late on Tuesday afternoon a list of 700 bales Texas cotton was negotiated for the Liverpool market, in expecta tion of an advance by the Acadia. A general feeling of disappointment was apparent the next day on the receipt of her intelligence, since which, up to Tuesday the Bth inst., the transactions have been of the most limited description, exporters having withdrawn en tirely from market, and the few parcels daily disposed of, exhibited a drooping market; on that day a few buyers appeared, and took about 3,300 bales, about 2,500 of which were for Liverpool, supposed to be on American account, and the residue for France, nearly all of which was Charleston cotton, and at prices a full quarter cent lower on good middlings, and one eighth lower on fair, than rates ruling previous to the arrival of th e Acadia. The next day, the market exhibited the same fiat appearance, the sales net ex ceeding 800 bales. The Sarah Sands arrived yester day with the Liverpool market to the 21st ult. The additional decline of oae-eighth by her has added to the dulness of our market, which closed heavily, with small sales to the home trade. •OVERNMEIT SECURITIES. Offered. Asked.

The advices from England up to the 15th ultimo, received by the Acadia on Wednesday morning, the 2d instant, are by no means encouraging for our staple. The decline of one-eighth on the better grades quoted in the Liverpool circulars is, perhaps, 'not quite so tangible and well defined, yet, on the other hand, there are a variety of circumstances in connexion which render the accounts in ques tion decidedly unfavourable, and as they were dif ferent from the expectation of operators here, a dull and declining market has been the result. It continues to be evident that holders there have to depend exclusively on the demand from the trade, who have no inclination and little means of purchasing beyond their actual wants; and; impressed with the convic tion of an ample supply, importers have offered their receipts of the new crop freely, and rather pressed them upon the market, bringing the range of prices within a narrow compass. The small advance which had been realised at Liverpool in the operations of the preceding two weeks had at once the effect of checking sales at Manchester, and general trade there, which had showed such bright symptoms of revival, had again relapsed into inactivity. The stock of bullion and the reserve of unemployed notes in the Bank of England continued to increase, and public securities were advancing daily in value, thus showing abundance of money; but mercantile credit has received such a shock that a comparatively small portion is allowed to flow into commercial channels. Each successive arrival from India also brings ac counts of improving markets for British manufac tures, but the length of time required in operations with such distant customers puts it out of the poweriof merchants and manufacturers, in the present state of credit, to avail themselves of the favourable opening. In the present posture of affairs in England, the crop question must necessarily excite less than its usual attention. A crop of 100,000 or 200,000 bales, more or less, will Make but little difference, for it is a fixed fact, that it is not only an abundant one, but far more than adequate to the consumption, and the later accounts from the various south-western ports advise that planters are commencing to exhibit less reluc tance to meet the views of buyers, being:pretty well satisfied that the range of prices this season will be on a low scale. Factors, however, do not appear to be pressing their stocks on the market, but go on steadily selling at fully current rates. The proba bility is, that the crop will soon come into market freely, and that but little will be held over fcr another season. The discrepancy between the re ceipts of the last two seasons is gradually disappear. ing ; the difference now stands at 70,000 bales. The stock at numerous new depots in South Carolina and Georgia is larger than usual, and only waits satisfactory prices to be thrown rapidly into the ports. At the following old depots, with which the trade abroad is familiar, the comparison stands thus : Augusta and Hamburgh, 64,000 against 37,000 last CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. We have received files of papers front the Cape to the 23d of December. The report brought by the last overland mail that the Kafir war was over, on the authority of dates from the Cape to the 18th, is not confirmed. We extract tho following from the Zuid African of the 22d of December : FRONTIER ArFAIRS. TheAtews by yesterday's t, as far as the war question is concerned, is of Hine impoitance. Hopes were again entertained that ',Pato would surrender himself, and the probable time for so doing is conjec tured to be when Sir Harry Smith, whom he well knows, shall approach his whereabouts.' " His Excellency reached Graham's Town on the 17th inst., and bad met with a similar cordial recep tion from the inhabitants there, as had marked his arrival at Port Elizabeth. Addresses, salutes, bon fires, and illuminations were the order of the day, and nothing appears to have been wanting to testify the participation of the men of the east in the just display of respect entertained towards the Hero of Aliwal by the colony at large. " We regret that want of space should prevent us from giving all the details of the most splendid recep tion —it will suffice to say that it was in every respect complete, and indeed honourable to the inhabitants. " One of the first acts of his Excellency, after his arrival, was the publication of a proclamation fixing the Keiskamma River as the future boundary of the colony, and the release of Sandilla, who was sent to the Gaika Chiefs with the following message : Tell them,' said his Excellency, ' that within a few days Smith will be at King William's Town, where they are to appear with all their guns ; that he expects to be obeyed, and that they will neglect to comply at their peril." From Port Natal we have advises to the 3d of December. We extract the following from a local paper : " The following brief extract from a letter dated Pietermaritzburg, 3d December, will give a just idea of the critical situation into which the inhabitants are plunged. We have obtained it from one of the best sources : " ' Extract from a private letter, dated Pieter maritzburg, December 3, 1847. "` The Bushmen have stolen 63 horses. The Klip River farmers have refused to take the oath of allegiance, and left their farms with very promising crops, to ,proceed beyond the Drakenberg. The civilians of this place have met to devise plans of safety, in case Pandah's hosts should make their ap pearance, under pretence of getting deserters and cattle stolen from his Majesty. " Capt. Campbell, of the Cape Corps, has la it with 30 men, accompanied by Dr. Best, to recon noitre and report, and, if necessary, to assist the farmers who have assembled in lagers.' " AFFAIRS OF THE DUTCH EAST INDIES. AMSTERDAM, FEB. 23.—The overland mail from Java, up to the 29th of December last, has arrived. The news is unimportant. The Governor-General has ordered, by ♦arious resolutions :- 1. That the new codes for the East Indies shall assume the force of law from the Ist of May, 1848. As you will remember, I gave you last year some ex tracts from these very curious codes. 2. That paddy and rice, during the year 1848, may be imported into all the Dutch East Indies free of all duties, no matter from what place, or under what flag. 3. That from January 1, 1848, the duty on the sale of salt in the residence of Batavia and Buitenzorg shall no longer be adjudicated, but that the said sale shall be effected in those localities (as everywhere else) in parcels. 4. That the port of Tjilatjaj (residence of Bangoe m aur) shall be opened to the small trade of Java. In honour of the ex-General Cochius, the inhabi tants of Batavia gave a grand ball on the 27th of December in the rooms of the Society La Harmonie; and the Governor-General gave him a grand enter tainment on the 20th of December. The earthquakes, the sad details of which were conveyed by the last mail, have not been repeated, with the exception of a few slight shocks, accom panied by heavy rains. From Canton we have advices to the 25th of De cember, to the effect that on the Ist of that month a dreadful fire broke out in the city, which lasted for two days, and utterly destroyed 200 houses. The factories ran the most imminent risk, but, thank God, they were spared. The English inhabitants had for some time been in the greatest consternation, on account of the assassi nation of six English gentlemen by the satellites of a secret league of the Chinese. The Government of Sir J. Davis immediately summoned two war steamers from Hong Kong, and demanded signal satisfaction. It is said that Governor Davis has requested instruc tions from his government. The Direction of the Dutch Commercial Society has announced its intention to sell, at Amsterdsm, on the 30th of March next, 36,471 crangangs (?) of Java sugar, 20,234 at Rotterdam, 3,483 at Middle burg, and 3,126 at Dordrecht.—Times. LONDON PROTIDENT INSTITUTION.—The annual general meeting of the president, vice-presidents, trustees, and managers of the above institution was held on Fi iday, Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P., and vice-president, in the chair, when the superintending committee made their 31st annual report for the year ending the 20th of November last, from which it appeared that the general pressure Curing the year 1847 had been felt by the depo sitors in that savings bank, as well as by other classes of persons, and the number of accounts had decreased 397, and the aggregate balance 117,1651. 1 Is. 4d., the actual payments, in number 23,357, having amounted to 344,9021. 16s. 10d., exclusive of the expenses; while the receipts, 45,617 in number, had amounted to 204,3501. 145., (=elusive of the interest received from Government- The total number of' transactions was much the same as in the previous year, while the sums withdrawn above 100/. were nearly doubled. These e ithdrawals had rrduced the aggregate average of the depositors between 2/. and 31. each account. Th . • only previous year which exceeded this in the relative pro portion of decrease , was the memorable year of 1826. The Committee stared that although they could not but regret the withdraw& of such large sums, yet it must be gratifying to reflect upon the benefits conferred upon the depositors by having:their little savings in an institutio n where they could be obtained with certainty at a short notice. Since the bank re-opened in December, espe cially during the levier part of the period, the receipts and payments have nearly . balanced each o th er; t h e aggregate balance, due at this time to 41,132 depositors, amounts t o 753,044/. 17s. 4d., exclusive of the accruing interest. A!ter the usual complimentary votes to the President, Sir Thom as Baring, and the chairman of the day, the meeting sep crated. RAILWAY LAND.6uP.—Early yesterday morning, owing, it is presumed., to the recent rains having loosened the soil, a land-slip o P part of the embankment near the east end of the Falki rk t unne l, on th e Edi n b urg h an d Glasgow Railway, to place, by which both lines of rails were covered 1 vith earth. When the goods and cattle train, which I‘ tft Edinburgh, at two in the morn ing, reached that portion of the line—it being dark at the time--the engine came in contact with the obstacle, and was thrown off th e ra il s , along with four trucks containing cattle, and three of the animals were killed. Fortunately neither t'tte engine driver nor stoker were hurt. As it was f ou ad impossible to clear the line in time for the passenger trains of the same morning, the passengers at seven, eight, and ten o'clock from each end exchanged trains„ those from Edinburgh leaving their own trains, and wa lking over the earth to get into the train from Glasgow , and the same as respects those from an opposite direction, so that but little delay or in terruption to the traffic: occurred. By the time of the arrival of the eleven f) 'clock train from both ends one hue of rails was clear, which allowed the trains to pro ceed es usual.—Cale ton ian Mercury.

On Saturday last the anniversary festival of the hilanthropic Society, St. George's-fields, was held et the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, under the residency of the Right Hon. Viscount Morpeth, The Noble Chairman was supported on his by Lord Kinnaird, and on his right by Mr. Sheriff Cubitt. Amongst the other distinguished guests in the vicinity of the chair were observed Mr. Monckton Miles, M.l'., Mr. C. W. Grenfell, M.P., Mr. Sheriff Hill, Right Hon. Sir E. Ryan, the Hon. G. Rice Trevor, M.P., Mr. Charl es Pearson, M.P., Sir Charles Aldis, Captain Maconochie, E. Penrhyn, Esq., J. G. Fry, Esq., J. G. Catley, Esq., A. Majen die, IL sq , Matthew Davenport Hill, Esq., Q.C., Col. Colquhoun, R.A., Colin Mackenzie, Esq , Wm. Gladstone, Esq., Rev. Thomas Jackson, David Wm. Wire, Esq &c. The depressing events of last year had prevented the committee from holding the usual annual festival, but on this occasion a determined rally had been made by a few zealous and indefatigable advocates of the institution, and the consequence was an unusually large and influential attendance of members. The dinner and wine comprised the choicest varieties, and were placed on the table with peculiar taste and the greatest attention to the comfort of the guests. A corps of distinguished vocalists, under the management of Mr. Hobbs, was in attend ance, and contributed materially to the enjoyment of the evening. The gallery was devoted to the accom modation of the fair sex. Mr. Higgs efficiently per formed the duties of toast-master. The cloth having been removed, The Noble CHAIRMAN proposed the usual loyal toasts with his accustomed good taste and impressive.. ness. The " Health of her Majesty " (who was stated to have contributed a donation of 100 guineas to the funds of the institution) was received with signal manifestation of loyalty and attachment, which had marked reference to the occurrences taking place in a neighbouring State. The health of "The Queen Dowager," and of "Prince Albert and the rest of the Royal Family," were honoured in a similar manner. " The Army and Navy." Colonel COLQUHOUN and Captain Mscortoclizz severally returned thanks. The Noble CHAIRMAN next proposed " The Church," in connexion with the health of the clergy who had advocated the cause of the institution, and passed a high eulogium on the character and services of the Rev. Mr. Jackson, who had been one of its most useful and efficient advocataa. The Rev. Mr. ..T.scusorr returned thanks. A number of the boys belonging to the institution were then introduced and paraded round the room. They presented a fine, manly appearance, and be trayed no symptoms of juvenile depravity. Our readers are aware that the objects of the institution are to unite the religious and general education of the child with his practical instruction in some useful branch of industry, which will enable him to main tain himself in after life by his own honest exertions, and that the objects received into th• institution are exclusively of one description, namely, boys who have been charged with or convicted of crime. From the want of space, however, for their healthful exercise and accommodation, the society resolved on forming a school of industry at some distance from the metropolis, in which the children who the society receives and shelters may not only have the benefits of moral and religious instruction, and be taught tailoring, shoe making, &c., but be trained also to gardening and field labour, and such active out of door employments as are connected with farm service ; by which such of them as are fitted by age and other circumstances to emigrate may be prepared to gain an honest and comfortable livelihood in British colonies. The children having sung a hymn retired, and The Noble CHAIRMAN then proceeded, in an elo quent and forcible appeal, to advocate the cause of the charity and its claims to public support ; but we regret that the pressure of our space precludes the possibility of giving it at any length. He stated that the institution had received, and would continue to receive, the countenance of the Government, Sir George Grey having recommended a large number of the children for admission. The effect of his Lordship's appeal may be best judged of by the fact that after the resident chaplain, the Rev. Sydney Turner, had read the report, the subscriptions were announced to amount to upwards of 2,0001. Amongst the subscribers to the Model Farm School of Industry were some of the first banking and mer cantile firms of the city of London. The following are a few of the leading names as they were an nounced :—Baring, brothers, 100 guineas ; Roths child and sons, 100 guineas ; William Gladstone, Esq., treasurer, 100 guineas ; Smith, Payne, and Smith, 60 guineas; Gurney and Co., 50 guineas ; Barnet, Hoare, and Co., 50 guineas ; 13osanquet and Co., 50 guineas; Samuel Jones Loyd and Co., 50 guineas ; Messrs. Hoare and Co., 50 guineas ; Messrs. Coutts, 50 guineas; Glyn and Hallifax, 50 guineas ; Messrs. Hankey, 50 guineas ; R. S. Holford, SOL, &c. Mr. Mogcl:roN MILNIIB, M.P., proposed the health of the chairman, who returned thanks. Mr. CIIARLES PEARSON addressed the company at considerable length in support of the institution, and concluded by proposing the health of Lord Kinnaird. Lord KINIcAIRD returned thanks, and proposed the health of the treasurer, William Gladstone, Esq., who briefly expressed his acknowledgments. M. Matthew Davenport Hill, Q.C., Mr. Cattley, Mr. Charles Cochrane, Mr. Benjamin Rotch, and several other gentlemen who take a warm interest in the success of this and similar institutions, subse quently addressed the company. The health of the resident chaplain, the Rev. Sydney Turner, was proposed by Lord Morpeth, and concluded the proceedings, which did not terminate until near midnight. FATAL WAGER.—Saturday Mr. Bedford held an inquest at St. George's Hospital on the body of Frede rick Douglas, aged 26, a coalheaver, whose death was occasioned under the following circumstances ap peared that on Wednesday afternoon last the deceased, who lived at Richmond, was with some companions, when the conversation turned upon the feats they could individually perform. Several were attempted, but none of a very wonderful nature, till the deceased said, that for a wager of half a gallon of beer he would put the end of the poker when red-hot into his mouth, and in that way carry it once up and down the room. The challenge was accepted, the wager made, and the poker put into the fire, where it remained till it was heated through. Deceased then took it up, and opening his mouth, placed the fiery end between his teeth, and with it in that position he had nearly reached the top of the room, when, from some cause he slipped forward, and the handle of the poker coming in contact with the wainscot it was thrust into his throat. The screams of the unfortunate man betokened the greatest anguish, and every assistance was rendered him by those present, who immediately conveyed him a cart to the above hospital. It was there found that all the arteries within the mouth and of the throat wore destroyed, and every effort was made to alleviate his sufferings, but he rapidly sunk and died on Thursday, in the most excru ciating ugony. The Coroner and Jury having remarked upon the folly and danger of such performances, a ver dict was returned of " Accidental Death." NEwsrAreas.—Most people think the selection of suitable matter for a newspaper the easiest part of the business. How great an error ! It is by all means the most difficult. To look over and over hundreds of ex change papers every week, from which to select enough for one, especially when the question is, not what shall, but what shall noL be selecttd, is no easy task. If every person who reads a newspaper could have edited it, we should hear less complaints, Not untrequently is it the case that an editor looks over all his exchange papers for something interesting, and cam absolutely find nothing. Every paper is drier than a contribution box; and yet something must be had; his paper must come out with something in it, and he does the best he can. To an editor who has the least care about whet be selects, the writing is the easiest part of his labour. A paper, when completed, should be one that the editor should be willing to read aloud to his wife, his mother, his sister, or his daughter; and if he do that, it he get out such a paper, he will find his labour a most difficult one. Every subscriber thinks the paper is printed for his special benefit; and if there is nothing in it that suits him, it must be stopped —it is good for nothing. Some people look over the deaths and marriages, and actually complain of the editor, if but few people, in his vicinity, have been so fortunate as to at married the previous week, or so unfortunate as to die ! An editor should have these things in his paper whether they occur or not. Just as many subscribers as an editor may have, so many different tastes has he to consult. One wants stories and poetry; another abhors all this. The politician wants nothing but politics. One must have something smart, another something sound. One likes anecdotes, fun, and frolics, and the next door neighbour wonders that a man of sense will put such stuff in a paper. We only wish that every man, woman, and child, who reads the p a p er were compelled, but one single month, teoyedaitmoanttee.r asT htheyeywsouuplpdosteh.eLa quite so as find that is not Liverpool Mercury.

DIN EFFICACY OF THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH," The electric telegraph just put in operation upon the Birmingham and Gloucester line has been used to day to some purpose, A bankrupt named Best having set out this morning from Birmingham with some packages of silkmercery goods which belonged to his creditors, a description of his person, and of the packages, was for warded to Spetchley. Mr. Skinner, the superintendent of that station, immediately recollected that such a party had gone to Worcester, and though the omnibus had started twenty minutes, he jumped into a fly, and over taking it, conveyed the parcels back again to the station. It is said that 3,0001. worth of the bankrupt's goods are missing.— Worcester Herald.
