In addition to Assurance; on Healthy Lives, this Society continues to grant Policies on the Lives of Persons subject to tout, asthma rupture, and other diseases, on the payment of a Premium propor tioned to the increased risk. The plan of granting Assurances on Invalid Lives originated with this office in the beginning of 1824. Every description of Assurance may be effected with this Society, and Policies are granted on the lives of persons In any station, and of every age. The Rates of Premium arc Lower than at most other offices. BONUSES. The two first Divisions averaged 221. per cent. on the premiums paid ; the third 261. per cent. Tne foerth bonus, declared Jan. 1847, averaged rather more than 361. per cent., and from the large amount of Profit reserved for future appropriation and ether causes, the Bonuses hereafter are expected to exceed that amount. The Society's Income, which is steadily increasing, is now upwards of 116,0001. per Annum. Tables of Rates (with the last Report), can be obtained of GEO. A.

CAUT I 0 N.-MECHI'S MAGIC STROP. " The Real Magic Strop," " The Double Magic Strop," " The !Ink Strop," are all base imitations of MEC lII'S MAGIC STROP. -.one are genuine without Mechi's name, which imitators dare not put on the spurious strop ; yet, Or:n*4e to say, many perfumers call ing themselves respectable, endeavour to palm this rubbish (they cost frora 3d. to scl. each in Sheffield) on the public, as Mechi's genuine strop, although they possess no sharpening, properties whatever, but he very reverse. The well-known Magic Paste is an invaluable auxiliary to the Strop, and its renovating properties are truly asto nishing. Mechi's Ra zors stand pre-cmirient, as well as his Table Cutlery.

RAISING WATER discovered by the FOUN TAIN PUMPS, which roll the water upwards, without either Motion or faltering, therefore otun never be surpassed ; conse quently this is the most important discovery ever made for the pre servation of life and property oither at Sea or on Land. AT SEA. Immerses skips it has already saved, and the captains gratefully ne knowieige She glorious results. Two testimonial extracts shall suttee : " Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountain Pump being fitted is the Caroline, its great power was the means of saving the ship and 230 souls oa ►oard, two seams in the bottom being partly left without calking." " The Argus brig, (torn Cadiz, sprang a leak when three days out at sea, and soon after her eommen pump choaked and became use less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Fenn- MM Polito, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was in ac tion without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely in London, with a Waal( God for the Fountain rump." ON LAND the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service than a fire brigade. They ant instantaneously at the outbreak of a fire. " We are delighted with the Invention—it is a great boon to so- Mety."—Mditors Liverpool Mail. The New Portable Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of Norwich from e'estrnction, fur out of eighteen different properties on Ire In and 'ear the city, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly, including in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and in the eleven, Messrs. liorton's dycry, and MVO/. worth of consigned pro perty; Stoke mustard, starch, aid flour rail's, and 31essrs. Butcher's grocery warehouses, just in time to prevent a large quantity of gun powder therein from exploding, which must have spread around de striation and death. " North Waishant.—At this Are 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, Angina 22, 1846. At a Norwich tire June 2, 1847, the two Portable Engines were the pets of the public. The cry was, feel the little engines and they will d• the work, which proved true. The four large engines present proved useless. Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozen atm*. spheres. Now the fact is this, all former Force Pumps, Lift-force Pumps, Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines: they rub, grub, and serape the water upwards by friction, which wastes two-fifths of the power need, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young and Hutton, with many other eminent experimenters. lamented thus :—The quantity or water actually raised by any machine seldom excee:s 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 hydranlie machines, nevertheless, at last the ♦ictory is won, and won for ever ; for friction and leakage are now both annihilated by the new rolling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented frenn twelve to twenty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with ent more outlay. Most Teen can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 40 seconds, but some men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric tion ramp an active sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight tan raise 10,000 lbs. of water one feet high in a rainnte, and with a Foun tain Pump 9,000 lbs. he half a minute. Thus a continual and most extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is l'ower. John Ciente* Roberts, Eel., in his popular work, No. 1,110, did well in placing Cosset's French l'ump Abortion (that slaps the water upward) side by side with the Fountain Pump, which upset a good deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mullett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump maker, Mr. Baddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr. Ewbaak, America, an ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the two pumps were identical. But the Yankee out-fooled John Bull and Paddy la No. 1.183, and in No. 496, Book-maker Millingtim's remarks are preposterous. However, on the other hand, Dr. Birk beck, Aberdour, Hay, Parkington, with many ether 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 rasing water that has appeared within the last two thousand years—the greatest advancement in the useful arts in modern times. The Consamreatien Fountain Pumps are successailly carried out for private and public uses, at lifts below and above 100 ltet altitude, Ihr man, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per stroke to 100 barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair trial at competition whilst their durability is guaranteed at less cost than 'cannon pumps.

MuanEa OF A BAILIFF.—CAPITAL CONVICTION. — Terrace Corboy, a young man about twenty-five years of age, was indicted for having, on the 17th of October, 1846, at Gurtnafana, in this county, wilfully and feloniously murdered one Patrick Gleeson, by firing a loaded gun at him, and inflicting a mortal wound on the right side of his body, of which he languished and died on the 221 of the same month. Some of the counts in the indictment alleged that other parties committed the murder, and that the prisoner was present, aiding and abetting. Two members of the Society of Friends were em pannelled on the jury, having taken the usual affirma tion, instead of an oath. The prisoner's agent chal lenged twenty of the jurors called. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL shortly stated the case for the Crown. lie said that the deceased was a man in very humble life, and was acting in the capacity of a bailiff or process-server, when he met with his death by the prisoner's hand, in the presence of a large number of persons. It would be proved that the deceased went to serve ejectments in the neigh bourhood of the murder, and was fired at by the prisoner, who shortly afterwards absconded from the country, and was arrested in Wales, where he passed under the fictitious name of Patrick Ryan. Evidence would be given not only of the positive fact, but of the dying declaration of the deceased, and the state ment of the prisoner, who said, when arrested, to the constable who took him, " that it was all over with him—that a man who was borned to be hanged would never be drowned," alluding to a very rough and dangerous passage he had from Waterford to %Vales. It appeared from the statement of the Attorney- General that the deceased had been in the habit of serving ejectments, &c., for land agents, and that he was employed in serving processes on the tenants on the lands of Gurtnafana, or in the neigh bourhood where he was killed. Some days before he was on the same lands, and received a beating, and the prisoner was heard to say that he would shoot whoever came again to serve law papers on the tenants. Evidence would be produced to show that the fatal shot was fired by the prisoner. Several witnesses were examined to establish the case as stated by the Attorney-General. Mr. ROLLESTON then addressed the jury for the defence, and examined a witness to throw the suspi cion of the crime on a person named Murray. The CHIEF JUSTICE charged the jury, who retired, and in about two minutes found the prisoner Guilty. Ile was then removed. MURDER OF WILLIAM CRAWLEY. CURIOUS CIRCUAISTANCE.—John Hayden was placed at the bar charged with the murder of William Crawley. When asked to plead the prisoner made no reply. The governor of the gaol said the prisoner had not spoken a word since he was fully committed, about three months ago. CHIEF JUSTICE—Explain to him the meaning of this ; ask him to plead to the indictment. The governor then told the prisoner the nature of the proceeding, and asked him whether he was guilty or not guilty; but still he made no reply. There was no one employed for him. CHIEF JUSTICE-Mr. Attorney, what will you do ? ATTORNEY-GENERAL--I have been speaking to the medical gentleman who attends the gaol, and he has told me that he believes all this to be feigned on the part of the prisoner. CHIEF JUSTICE—WeII, you know what the law enables you to do in such a case. ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Yes, my Lord, but as the doctor is of opinion that it would be better to allow some time to examine the matter more fully, I think it would be well to postpone the case till the assizes. The bill of indictment was then quashed. The pri- soner, who is rather a well-looking young man, about twenty-six years of age, was then removed. It is said that when first committed to gaol he spoke, but he has not uttered a word since he was fully committed. RumouttEn ASSASSINATION.— A good deal of anxiety was created here yesterday by a rumour that Mr. Croker, of Ballinagar, foreman of the late grand jury in Limerick, had been shot near his own residence. It was stated that a policeman had brought the intel ligence to this town, and a crowd of persons awaited the arrival of the mail car from Limerick, at half•p.lst five o'clock yesterday evening, to ascertain whether there was any foundation for the report. But on the arrival of the car it was found to be utterly without foundation. Nothing had been heard about it in Limerick up to the departure of the mail. Later ac- counts from Limerick show that the statement was altogether false. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, FEB. 2.

ALISON'S CREDITORS.—OR Mon day a meeting of the creditors of Mr. Alexander Alison, jun., ironmaster, one of the directors of the Ayrshire Iron Company, printer and publisher in Glasgow, and sole proprietor of the North British Mail newspaper, was held is the Black Bull Hotel, Glasgow. Mr. M'Cowan, accountant, the interim factor on the seques trated estate, read a report, from which it appeared that the bankrupt estimated his liabilities in the meantime at about 80,0001., while his assets, exclusive of reversions expected to be recovered from the estate of Pitcon, &c., are about 12,0001. The amount of absolute loss is giyea at 55,0001. ; and amongst the items which make up this sum are 5,4001. lost upo❑ pig iron ; 11,8001. bad debts ; 21,3001. upon newspaper and other publications; 10,4001. upon shares, &c., &c. According to the balance-sheet of Ist December, 1847, it appears that the bankrupt had drawn from the Blair Iron Company 35,3001., and from the Ayrshire Iron Company 14,0001. Mr. M'Cowan was unanimously appointed trustee upon the estate, and instructed to take the necessary steps to secure the interest of the creditors as far as practicable.—Glasgow Herald. A CONSOLATION.—A friend of ours, who is afflicted with temporary deafness, consoles himself by the belief that nothing is going on worth hearing. TIIE LATE FATAL COLLISION ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. COMMITMENT OF THE PRISONERS. Yesterday, at the Lambeth Police-court, William Jones, an e , igine•driver, and Lewis Fleming, a fire• man, in the service of the South:Western Railway Company, who have been in custody since the 15th of the last month on a charge of having caused the death of David Markland, were placed in the dock before Mr. Elliott for final examination. Mr. Dalrymple, one of the solicitors, and several of the officers connected with the company, attended for the prosecution, and Mr. Wolff appeared on behalf of the prisoners. Mr. Dalrymple remarked that the prisoners had beon remanded on a former day for the purpose of producing Fortescue, one of the guards of the goods' train on the night of the accident. By the certifi cate he (Mr. Dalrymple) then produced, it would he seen that Fortescue was not as yet in a fit state to attend. Mr. John Veret Gooch was then sworn, and stated that he was superintendent of the locomotive depart ment of the London andSouth-Western Railway. Ile knew Purbright embankment, in the parish of Woking, and had visited the spot since the accident occurred, for the purpose of makingtahimself ac quainted with the details of the gradien there. He knew the canal wall at the end of Frimley cutting there. The accident happened at the 25th mile post, and the distance from there to the canal wall was as near three miles and a quarter as possible. On getting out of Frimley cutting the country was an open one, and there was an uninterrupted view from there to where the accident happened. The gradi ents between these twe points are slightly varying from lin 285 up to lin 348. This is a fair gra dient, and is not greater near to where the accident happened. He made an experiment last night with a goods' train, consisting of twenty-five waggons ordinarily laden, and corresponding with the one that caused the accident, and starting at the same time of day from Southampton. Before meeting the train he placed a man at the 25th mile post, and desired him to walk GOO yards towards Frimley cutting, and at the end of that distance to stand with a green light, and also to place on the line a deto nating signal ; and, further, to amain there after the train passed, and until Mr. Gooch came to him. Witness then proceeded to Farnborough, where he met the goods' train, and taking charge of the engine proceeded towards town at the rate of about twenty one miles an hour, which was a mile an hour over the average speed of goods' trains. He told the fire man to stand ready with his break to apply it when he desired him. On coming up to the man with the green light, he heard the detonating signal go off, and he instantly reversed the engines without shut ting off the steam, when the whole force of the steam was against the progress of the engine. He also at the same moment sounded the whistle, and both the guards, who were not aware of his object, put on the breaks. 'When the train came to a stand-still he got down and measured the distance to where the man with the green lamp stood, and found it to be 258 yards from the engine. These 258 yards were within the 600 yards from where the accident occurred. The en gine he drove was the Buffalo, one exactly similar in power and construction to the one the prisoners had charge of on the night of the accident. There were two road box-breaks to the trains with which he tried the experiments, but there was only one road box and one break to the train in charge of the pri soners. A road box-break is a great assistance in stopping a train, but the tender-break is the most effectual, and the latter is in charge of the fireman. Engine-drivers calculated principally upon being able to stop the train by the tender-break. On the night the accident happened there were six carriages more than on the train with which he made the experiment on the night before. He (Mr. Gooch) thought the night before was very favourable for stopping a train, for it was a very dry night, and the rails were parti cularly dry; but still he thought that if he had had the additional carriages added to the train, he could have stopped in front seventy to one hundred yards further on. Had the night been unfavourable, the rails wet or greasy, the additional six carriages, and only one road-box and break besides that in the tender, he was decidedly of opinion that he could have stopped the train within the six hundred yards, that being the distance prescribed by the rules. It was the duty of the engineer and firemen to look out for lights, or any other signals of danger, and if the pri soners had been doing so on the night in question he (witness) had no doubt they might hare stopped the train and prevented the accident. Witness, on the night before, saw the green light at a distance of two miles, though it was b u t a hand l am p, an d no t so large by a great deal as those danger lights placed at the end of the train. The light was the same size as that carried by Brownsmith on the night of the accident. Air. Gooch begged to say that he had always con sidered the prisoners to be very steady, careful, and sober men, and was much surprised upon hearing that the accident occurred with them. John Smally, a guard in the company's employ, was examined at considerable length. He was a guard of a luggage train that started from South ampton three hours after that on which the prisoners were employed. He described the night as rather foggy, and said the train received a danger signal from the down mail train, and stopped about three quarters of a mile out of the cutting. They went on at a slow pace for about three-quarters of a mile more, when they saw five red lights in advance, and also a fog signal. The lights were then on the side and tail of the train, as well as two head lamps, and these they saw dis tinctly for a considerable distance ahead, and he made an observation at the time that two of them were the s id e l amps o f th e passenger t ra in. The train which he (witness) was on was two miles from where the accident happened when he saw the danger signals. In reply to the Magistrate —This engine only ap plied the breaks and did not reverse the engine, arid the train was stopped in about half a mile. Mr. Wolff submitted th a t th ere was no thi ng i n th e c h a rge to justify the further detention of the prisoner Fleming, nor would any j ury b e found to f i nd Jones guilty of any offence on the depositions just read. Mr. Elliott, however, committed both the prisoners to take their trial at the next Kingston Assizes on a charge of manslaughter, in causing the death •f David Maryland, an engineer in the company's em ployment, on the night of Friday, the 14th of last month. The court waa much crowded during the investi gation, which occupied a cons i dera b le time, and had no t concluded till a late hour. --- MYSTERIO US DEATH. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Baker, coroner for the eastern division of the county of Middlesex, held an adjourned inquest at the Queen Catherine, Brook• street, Ratelitf, touching the death of Andrew and Anna Witham, the latter having di e d on th e 24th inst., and the former a few hours afterwards. In consequence of the peculiarity of the circum stance, that only a short time had elapsed between the death of both parties, and a will being found of recent date, the greatest excitement prevailed in the neighbourhood. It being understood that a considerable amount of property was left by the deceased, a legal adviser ap peared for each party in the case, Mr. Fearnley for the representatives of the deceas e d, and Mr. Donne for the nurse, there being some dispute as to the will alleged to have been made by the deceased Andrew 1 Witham. Mr. Andrew Buchanan, surgeon, having deposed to knowing both parties, and visitiug them occa sionally in his professional capacity, and also to his having made a post mortem examination of the bodies, stated that, in doing so, he found upon neither of them any marks of violence. He removed the stomachs, and forwarded them to Dr. Letheby, at the London Hospital, in accordance with the instructions of the coroner. Henry Letheby, lecturer on chemi s t ry at the London Hospital, stated that on Saturday last he received from Dr. Buchanan a sealed paper parcel, con t a i n i ng t wo human stomachs, with their contents, which Dr. Buchanan requested him to analyse. Accordingly, on Monday last, he did so. In the case of that of the female he found the stomach very much diseased. It w was affected with cancer, which occup i e d the w h o l e of the upper part of it. It was hard, and inflamed all over. It contained about half an ounce of thick brownish green matter, mixed with some vegetable extract. This smelt strongly of the o d our w hi c h particularly emanates front mice. This odour was distinctly recognised by other gentlemen who are con stantly conversant with such smells. The odour especially reminded them of that of hemlock. Upon being tested with chloride of iron, and with nitric acid, they obtained a greenish black precipitate with the former, and a deep red colour with th e latter, i both of which results were udicati ve of the presence of vegetable matter. lie could not affirm positively that the deceased died under th e i n fl uence of poison ; but he entertained strong suspicions of the existence of hemlock, or some preparation of that kind, in the stomach, when it was sent to him for analysation. With reference to the deceased Andrew , Witham, the general Appearances were the same, and A R R I A U E. I n One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diflidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosiw,, hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness end social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement.

D.)ctor 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 rehires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that it may he really the cause of matual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclogied, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualification* and their attendant disap pointments. 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 the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and cnnsplete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions In health aid disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health, ant of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or front the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariarde consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequeutly, but erroneously entertained that these complaiats are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict hien and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination. n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by posse• Mon of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost ceefidence should be extended. Dr. LA.'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice fur many years is a guarantee for his professional experienee, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

At this stage of the proceedings, The CORONER inquired of the jury whether they were desirous of going on with the case farther at that time ? The Foreman said he thought it was desirable to hear the NI hole of the witnesses with reference to the will which it was said had been recently made in favour of the nurse. The CORONER—Then it will be better for LH now :o adjourn, to allow time to summon the witnesses. All parties having concurred, The CORONER decided that the case should be ad ourned until Friday next. INQUEST ON MRS. SHUTTLE- WORTH. Yesterday forenoon, at ten o'clock, pursuant to a h ( a l j h c i na t a r n n t i s n e o n f t from mar3 t h he on who u were t., jury of the er e a on th that day day e i n n s pannclled before Thomas Wakley, Esq., M.P., the Coroner for West Middlesex, to investigate the death of a lady, late an inmate of York House Lunatic Asy lum, Battersea, and who is described as Mrs. Martha Rhodes, alias Shuttleworth, re-assembled at the Manchester Arms, Baker-street, Portman-square, further to pursue their inquiry. Miss Rhodes, sister of deceased, on being called, expressed her anxiety that the inquiry should be made. She said deceased died on the 6th ofJanuary, and the first information she received of it was on the 11th, after the removal of the body. She last saw deceased on the 10th of November at the asylum, but was so treated, that believing she was not to be permitted to see her sister, she applied to the Metropolitan Lunatic Commis sioners for an order, but was refused. She re ceived information of her sister's death from Mr. Newland, solicitor, and that her body was at Mr. Storking's, undertaker, Pimlico. On the sth of January she received a letter from the solicitor, re questing her to call upon him on important business, but conceiving it to refer to the appointment of a trustee to her sister's property, tc which she had re fused her assent, she did not attend to it. On going to the undertaker's he told her he had orders from the Rev. M. Rowlett, who signed an order for her sisters' confinement, and from Mr. Parkin, one of the asylum doctors, not to deliver up the body, but to bury it, and allow her to attend the funeral. She ap plied to the Rev. Mr. Rowlett, and that gentleman ordered the body to be delivered up to her, and it was brought to her house in Adam-street East on Friday evening, the 14th of January. After hearing this statement, the jury determined to go on with the investigation, and Mr. Findley, having been chosen foreman, the jury were sworn, and viewed the body, at the appearance of which they expressed themselves much shocked. The CORONER remarked that the sores on the body were very bad, and the mortification extensive, but in some cases it could not be prevented. The question was, whether the deceased had been properly treated, and proper means resorted to, to prevent the extensive injury which appeared. He considered that they had better now adjourn, ha order that the body might be examined by a gentleman whom he would appoint, well acquainted with hospital practice. The inquiry was accordingly adjourned till yes• terday, when the jury re assembling, Mr. Hutchings, the Coroner's clerk, said he was instructed by Mr. Wakley to express his great regret that serious and sudden illness prevented the possi bility of his attendance that morning to proceed with the inquiry lie begged to assure the jury that he had just left Mr. Wakley so ill in bed, from the effects of an ulcerated throat, that ha was unable to speak ; and as Mr. Mills, the Deputy Coroner, had gone to hold some inquest out of town, it was necessary again to adjourn the proceedings. The inquiry was then further adjourned. [PRICE SD. EAST INDIA HOUSE. THE LATE RAJA OF SATTARA. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of Yesterday.) Mr. tams seconded the motion in the absence of Mr. Sullivan, who was prevented from attending the Court by severe indisposition. The Honourable Pro prietor, after a few preliminary observations, repeated many of the remarks already made during the dis cussion of this case. He then read some extracts from the recently published letter of Major Carpenter, and he concluded by expreFsing a hope that the directors would no longer hesitate to repair the wrong which they had done to the Raja. Mr. SIVAGE said a few words in favour of the re solution. Mr. WEEDING oprosed the resolution, and in doing so he replied to many of the observations made by Mr. Hume. He denied that any witness had ad mitted that any of the documents exhibited against the Raja were forgeries, or that any important docu ments had been withheld. He defended the Govern ment of Bombay from the charges that had been brought against it, expressed his conviction of the guilt of the ex-Raja, deprecated any further discus sion with refer ence t o hi s case, an d i n suppor t o f hi s opinion read some long extracts from a letter written by Lord Auckland. He hoped the resolution would be met by a motion of adjournment of the Court. Mr. THOMPSON would demonstrate that the state ments of the last speaker as to Colonel Ovans was incorrect. He would show that there was not one iota of truth in the statement of the honesty of the course pursued by Colonel Ovans. Why did Colonel Ovans keep back most of the evidence relative t,ikthe charges against the ex-Raja ? The Hon. Proprietor then repeated the charges he had before made against Colonel Ovans, and openly charged the Colonel with intercepting and keeping back statements and evidence that would have proved the innocence of the deceased Raja. He (Mr. Thompson) claimed for the issue of the deceased Raja the restoration of every title and of every rupee that had been plundered from their progenitor. Mr. PRINCEPS (after a few remarks from Mr. Fielder) rose with reluctance. In the early treaty before September 1807, there was no mention made of keeping up the independence of the Raja. After the rupture of 1817, Mr. Elphinstone submitted to Lord Hastings that these points were argued—the taking of the whole of Sattara into the hands of the Government, or the restoration of the independence of the Raja and his family. After consideration, Sir Lionel Smith was ordered to reduce Sattara, which he did. There was no use in further inquiry. The late Raja's brother sat on the throne of Sattara as an independent prince. Colonel SYKES said the political rights of the late Raja had died with hint. His knowledge of the laws of the Hindoos made him acquainted with this fact. The late Raja had not requested his locale to be changed. The CHAIRMAN would not reply to the terms used by the Member for the Tower Hamlets. He would support the decision of the majority of the Court of Proprietors, as that decision had been confirmed by Parliament and the Board of Control. The Chairman . moved that the Court do now adjourn. Sir JAMES LAW LUSHINGTON (the Deputy Chair man) seconded the motion. Mr. Hulls, in reply, appealed to the Court of Pro prietors, as the responsible governors of India, to vote for the re-opening of the inquiry. In the case of the Raja of Nagpnre, the Government of India and the Court of Directors had reversed, after five deci• sions against the Raja, the case set up. Why, there fore, should not the same course be followed now ? Those who supported the case of the ex-Raja of Sattara were prepared to prove that the deposition was illegal and unjust. The Hon. Proprietor at con siderable length addressed the Court. The Court then divided on the question of ad journment, when there appeared—for it, 63 ; against it,_26. The CHAIRMAN declared that the motion for ad journment was carried; and on the question the Court was declared adjourned. THE WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY EveNlNG.—The Avon steam-ship, Captain Norton, arrived this evening ; at five o'clock, from the West Indies, with the usual fortnightly mails.

She brings advices to the following dates :—Jamaica, 7th January ; Demerara, .sth ; Trinidad, 7th ; Barbadoes, 9th ; Grenada, Bth : St Thomas, 14th The Avon brings on freight 1168,278 dollars, 1,017 oz. gold dust, and 150/. icy British coin, 4 serons of indigo, and a general cargo. The Avon brings the melancholy tidings of the almost total destruction of the town of Chagres by fire, on the night of the Bth December, including, among the few other buildings of any note, the (so-called) " custom-house," which at the time most unfortu nately contained an entire cargo of merchandise just landed from the schooner Desengano, valued at 60,000 dollars, and which it is reported lead been purchased on credit, by two Spanish gentlemen, from merchants in this city. It is with extreme regret that we announce the death of Major-General Lambert, commander of her Majesty's forces in the island of Jamaica. The Avon has about fifty passengers. STATIONS OP ITER MAJESTY'S SHIPS.-At Jamaica, the Imaum ; Alarm and Viper were at Port-au- Prince; the Vixen was at St. Juan de Nicaragua ; the Electra had sailed for Vera Cruz; the Persian on her way to England ; the Vindictive at Trini dad; the Grampus and Juno on the West Coast of Mexico. STATIONS OF TILE COMPANY'S STMAM SHIPS.—The Conway, at Bermuda; Thames, in the Gulf of Mexico; Eagle, at St. Thomas's; Clyde, in the Spa nish Main; Medway, en route for Jamaica; Tay, at St. Thomas's. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—The Firefly steam vessel, Lieutenant-Commanding T. C. Ponsonby, did not sail last night, as expected. She went out of the harbour and anchored at Spithead after sunset, sailing at seven this morning. The mails were put on board her in the harbour yesterday by M. Vandenbergh, the Netherlands Vice-Consul. The crew were paid two months' wages in advance, and sufficient care not having been taken to guard against the admissio❑ of spirits, such a quantity of an infamous deleterious compound under that name obtained entrance, that the crew were in a state of complete disorganization, and eight were obliged to be removed to the flagship quite intoxicated. An attempt was also made to punish the fellows who were the cause, by introducing liquor, of the disturbance, but it failed, from want of evidence. Such liquor as was found on searching the ship was started overboard. The Meander, 44, Captain the Hon. H. Keppel, sailed at seven last evening for the East Indies. The Kite steam. vessel, Mr: Balliston, acting master commanding, was removed also from the basin this morning, and will sail to-morrow for Bermuda. She is trying her compasses to day. The Powerful, 84, Captain Hon. R. S. Dundas, C. 8., was ordered to be docked to-day ; but the only dock available for that purpose being the ens in which the Undine now is, and that vessel not being ready to come out, even temporarily, at present, it was thought best to get the Powerful's masts in to-day, and dock her if possible to-morrow. her fore and main masts will be got in to-day, and the mizen• mast and bowsprit to-morrow, after which she will be taken into the basin, and if the Undine can be got out she will ba docked. The Aid lighter sailed with stores for Plymouth this morning. The Rochester lighter sailed to-day with stores for Sheerness and Chatham. The Sealark, 10, Commander W. B. Monypanny, arrived this afternoon from Chatham. _ _ The Britannia, 120, which was brought down some days since to be rigged in a great hurry by the dock yard hands, but which was never proceeded with further than the first afternoon's work, was taken cut of the basin back to her moorings this morning. The Canopus, 84, Captain Moresby, C. 8., will be the next line-of-battle ship withdrawn from th• Tagus. She will be paid off at this port. Mr. Frederick Cleeve, clerk, R.N. (1840), is ap pointed secretary to Rear-Admiral Mackay, at Cove. Wind—westerly, light airs, 'weather beautifully clear, fine, and warm. PROMOTIONS. Messrs. 11. T. Ellis and G, 11.

DEATH OF SIR JOHN MACLEAN, K.C.B.—This gallant officer, by whose death the colonelcy of the 27th Foot, which he held since Nov. 2, 1842, becomes vacant, died on Monday. Ile commenced his military career in 1794, as ensign in the Ist Regiment of Royal Scots, and was appointed lieutenant in the 100th, afterwards the 92d, with which he served at Gibraltar and Corsica. He was with his regiment as a captain fur one year during the rebellion in Ireland. In 1799 bo accompanied his regiment to Holland, and was present at five actions; in that of Oct. 2, near Alkmar, he was severely wounded in two places. He was appointed on the Quarter-mas ter's staff in March, 1801, and was present at all the actions in Egypt during the campaign of that year. Next year he served in Malta, and, in 1804, obta i ned a majority in the 27th Regiment, the colonelcy of which he held until his death. He subsequently, after holding some staff appointments, took the command in Ireland as lieutenant-colonel, and embarked with it for the Peninsula. He was present at the actions of Busaco, Redinha, Olizenca (where he was severely wounded), at Salamanca, Vittoria, the Pyrenees, and I'ampeluna, where he was wounded when covering the retreat of the 4th division from Roncesvalles, and also had his horse wounded. He was present at the battles of the Nivolle, Bayonne, Orthes, and Toulouse, where he was for the fifth time wounded severely. The date of his last com mission, that of Lieutenant General, was June 28, 1838. CONTRARY WINDS.--The boy—or professor, as he calls himself, who blows the organ . at St. St e ph en ' s Church, Walbrook, has announced hi s intention o f dis continuing that healthy weekly exercise, unless his salary is regularly paid. To use the professor's own em ph a ti c words, he says, "he's blowod if he blows any longer for nuffia at all." There is a complete panic in the loft in consequence. The organ has been sounded by the vestry, who have been endeavouring to play upon it for their own purposes; but it is evident it will not be a tool, much less an instrument, in their hands. It remains passive under i every blow, and will cert a i n ly go altoge ther, if there sno one qualified to stop it. The bellows luckily are quiet.—Punch. GENERAL SIR C. NAPIER. The following address has been presented to Sir C. Napier by the English at Nice, on his arrival there from India : " Lieutenant-General Sir Charles Napier,—On the part of our fellow• countrymen at Nice we most hear tily welcome your arrival amongst us, and we beg to express our very high and grateful sense of your long, arduous, and brilliant services, especially in the two glorious victories of Aleanee and Ilyderabad. Long may you live, Sir Charles, to enjoy your hard won honours; and long may your country rejoice in the health and happiness of one who has served her so well, and whose name (in Lord Hardinge's appro priate language) has been so " gloriously pre-emi nent." To which Sir Charles replied— " Gentlemen,—lt is difficult to express my strong feelings of gratitude at the flattering reception given to me on my arrival from India. To be thus received by such a number of my countrymen, holding various political opinions, and of various professions, would produce in me an unbecoming vanity, were I not conscious of having no claim to your praise, except as the representative of those brave troops who won the victories which you have been pleased to mention so honourably. I have probably bil those excellent sol diers an eternal adieu; but, far as I may be removed from them, I shall always acknowledge that to their bravery I owe everything, including the marked honour which I have this day received from you, and for which, Gentlemen, allow me again to return my sincere thanks." A ball was also given to Sir Charles, at which about 230 persons were present. A balance of 365 f. remaining over and above the expenses incurred was presented by the committee to a charitable institution called "La Societe de St. Vincent de Paule," which donation has been acknowledged in the following note : " La Societe de St. Vincent de Paule, par l'organ de son president, a l'honneur de reconnaitre la recep tion du comae chargé de feter rarrivee Nice du Lieutenant-General Sir Charles Napier, de la somme de 365 f. que le comite a Bien voulu lui faire remettre. " La Societe de St. Vincent de Paule eprouve une sincere satisfaction de ♦oir une charite chretienne et eclairee associer lea pauvres aux justes sympathies qu' existent parmi les sujets de la Grande Bretagne residents a Nice, et la presence du noble chef qui a porte avec gloire le drapeau Anglais dana des regions eloignees, et dont le nom est desormais celebre. " Les membres de la Societe de St. Vincent de Paule, sujets d'un Roi ancien Lillie de la Grande Bre tagne, unissent a leurs renerciments au comite leurs sentiments de respect et de haute consideration envers l'illustre general.

TDB LATE MURDER AT DIINDRY.---ASIITON, WEDNESDAY.—The magistrates this day resumed their incit irf into the murder of the late Mr. Walsingham Hazen, of Dundry. The nephews, Benjamin llazell and James Hasell, were again present in custody, and were defended by Mr. King. No evidence of importance was called. The examination was proceeding when the post left. LONGEVITY.—The Baroness de Geisen has just died at Luxembourg, aged 107, or, according to some ac• counts, ill years. She possessed her intellectual facul ties to the last, and four years ago visited a German watering-place. Madame de Camisfort has also just died i t liusserea (Haut-Rhin), aged 103. L..._--~~ ~ r • PARIS ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. SITTING OF JANUARY 24TH, 1848. Researches on Refractory Substances, and the Results furnished therefrom, for the use of Mineralogy, Geology, and Metallurgy, as well as the Arts of Precision and Sciences of Observation. By M. Gaudin. " Having had entrusted to my care, on different occasions, very powerful blow. pipes, I have submitted to the judgment of the Academy the results which I have obtained by their means, but until the present time I have not discu ss ed th e uses which might be made of the application of these results. " In 1836 I endeavoured to form rubies of all sizes ; my process consisted in submitting to the flame of the oxy-hydrogen bl ow -pip e nmmoniac a l al um , to which had been added a few traces of chromate of potash. I obtained by this means melted globules, composed of alumina and oxide of chrome, having all the characters of oriental rubies. I constructed my crucible with calcined lamp-block, ren dered compact by pressure; my blow-pipe formed a flame which reached from the top to the bottom, in such a way as to heat the gases before they passed out ; in one word, the con struction and dimensions of the blow-pipe were such as to give it the fullest possible amount of power. This blow-pipe, which had cost 100/., weighed almost four pounds and a half. The principal body of the ap paratus was composed of two concentric cylinders, with a common foundation weighing 22 pounds. The exterior cylinder was 2:,- 1 inches in diameter, and 2f inches in height. The other common foundation was formed by a disc screwed to the inner side of the large cylinder. This disc %1 pierced with three holes, one in the centre, and the other two corresponding to each other at the an nular space comprised between the two cylinders. At each of these orifices was adapted a tube of .5i inches in length, drilled into a bar of platinum. These tubes were fitted with such great precision that the apparatus, though of the length of 71- inches, was per fectly connected without a particle of solder; lastly, three platinum tubes, soldered with gold, completed the blow-pipe, and served to suspend it by means of iron-wire. The lower front was pierced with from fifty to sixty holes, as large as the point of a pin, for each gas ; and these holes were pierced obliquely in the same direction, to impress on the flame a move ment tending entirely to displace the matter in fusion. I worked this apparatus only a few times ; the gaso meters were not large enough, as they contained only about five hundred quarts of gas. Nor could I pro cure ivory black sufficiently pure or compact. By the action of the fire the crucible split, and the rubies falling among the broken pieces defied the flame to touch them ; this is the reason why I made at one operation five or six rubies the size of a grain of corn, against one only as large as a pea. In a word, with this apparatus well served, we ought to produce rubies es large as small nuts. When the blow-pipe was in full activity, its body was heated to a bright red; and whilst the rubies were moving to and fro against the dazzling sides of the crucible, so intense was the heat radiated, that the frame of the blue spectacles I wore during the operation, burnt the skin of my face. With a blow-pipe of much less power I had previously obtained a limpid globule as large as a pea, by operating in potash alum without any addition, but this globule once cold, crystallizes, possessing all the characters of alumina, hardness, brilliancy, &c. Mr. Dufrenoy even recog nised the sixtuple change of corundum. I consider, therefore, that I have a right to claim the priority of the production of crystallized precious stones, and of the process of mixing these bodies in the state of salts, whence arises a separation by heat of the volatile matters, and the obtaining the residue in the state of an intimate admixture. On the 19th of June, 1837, I presented to the Academy a note on this process, accompanied with specimens,— some crystallized. the others cut with a diamond in all their facets. The opinion of the lapidary, the re markable analysis of M. Malagute, and especially the report of MM. Brequene and Berthier, pronounced that these rubies possessed all the properties of the natural precious stones, except their limpidity ; and it is precisely this determined crystallization of alumina, which is the great obstacle in preventing the mani festation of this precious prelnerty. During the ex periments of the commission at t:.`e School of Mines, AI. Regnault placed a small piece Cf quartz in our crucible of lamp-black ; we melted it, are I remarked at the time that it was viscous, whilst alurntn) on the contrary, is always very fluid or crystalline ; and I then formed the project to draw out the rock crye't 3l , and after several attempts I succeeded in spinning the rock crystal as readily as a thread of glass. I re marked, also, that it was very volatile—a fact which I. Cordier has found of importance in his geological investigations. " In the memoir which I presented to the Academy in 1841, I described the phenomena of the tempering of the rock crystal, the threading of silex, beryl, garnet, &c. To this present memoir, I subjoin rods of rock crystal and freestone; six lenses of melted rock crystal, of from 60 to 200 diameters, and also rubies, made by means of my small ether blow-pipe. ‘Vith one of these rubies M. Gindrax has formed a pivot-hole for a chronometer, and he declares that it appeared under the diamond as if it were an ordinary ruby. In conclusion, I am happy to announce that it appears to me very practicable to melt rock crystal on a large scale, for optical purposes, as well as rubies, in crucibles of lime, covered with carbon, of which I have already described the fabrication, by two differ ent processes for the melting of platinum and its allays." ef--0 7 , #.,. .-- - (-f . e—„e",, - _ ) / /2 , t , -tt---,_ ALARMING FIRE. This morning, about a quarter past twelve o'clock, the immediate neighbourhood of Holland-street, thackfriars, was thrown into a state of considerable excitement by the sudden issue of dense masses of smoke from the several windows and roof of the ex tensive premises known as the Falcon Glass-works, the property of Apsley Pellet, Esq., situate in the before-mentioned thoroughfare. An instant cry of fire was raised and messengers were dispatched in various directions for the engines. In an almost incredibly brief apace of time the Brigade engine, from Southwark -bridge-road, arrived, followed by the West of England and others from Farringdon street and Aterloo-road. The firemen then found that the flames were furiously raging, apparently in what is termed the cutting shop, immediately over the steam-engine house. The hose of the engines were quickly drawn out, and everything was in readiness for work, but, unfortunately, not a drop of water was flowing from the fire mains in the district. To obtain a sufficient supply the engines were taken down one of tile wharfs, and set to work from the river Thames. This, of neces sity, took up considerable time, and the flames mean while continued to travel, so much so, that the immense pile of buildings appeared doomed to destruction. The moment, however, the engines could be charged with water, they were set to work, arid a powerful stream was scattered into that portion of the premises where the flames appeared to be raging, but without producing any impression upon them. The firemen eventually cut a number of holes in the upper window shutters, and by inserting the hose-pipes through the apertures, they were enabled to reach the fire, but it was not entirely extinguished at two o'clock this morning, although all danger of any farther exten sion was at an end. The origin of the fire, or the extent of the damage, cannot be ascertained. The mischief, however, from the outside of the premises, appears to have been confined to that portion of the building in which it began. VACANCY IN THE REPRESEN TATION OF THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY. The following letter announcing the intention of the Right lion. F. Shaw to vacate his seat for the Dublin University, has been forwarded by the Right Lion. Bart. to his supporters at the last election : " kunmage House, Rathfarnham. 27th January, 1848. "My dear Sir—l feel th.at I ought not longer to delay the announcement of my intention to retire from the representation of the University of Dublin. " I was prevented by ill health from attending the early part ;of the present session ; and I am advised that I could not, without serious risk, now, cr within any reasonable time, again undertake the laborious duties which I have endeavoured to fulfil for the last eighteen years. " During that period, I have not been a day ab sent from the House of Commons while it was sitting —except for the purpose of attending my Court at Dublin. " I entered Parliament unfettered b' any pledge-- I uniformly declared that I must consider the claims of my judicial office paramount to all other ; but I stated my determination to devote the remainder of my time to the Parliamentary interests of my consti tuents. I believe that I have acted in the full spirit of that determination —less could not satisfy my own sense of duty in any times—above all in these, when the concerns of the Church, the University, and the gentry of Ireland so peculiarly demand the unremit ting and vigorous exertions of their representatives. " I shall therefore, upon the re-assembling of Par liament, take the proper measures for vacating my seat. " Pray accept this further acknowledgment of your kind support at 'the last election ; and believe me to be, my dear Sir, your obliged and faithful servant, " FREDERICK SHAW." —Dublin Evening Mail.
