This breach o the law is acquiesced in by a large portion of the pohlic, from a conviction of the utter im possicility In innunieratOe cases of cieausihg a chimney or fide with the old machine. For tie laudable purpose of furthering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge nious and effective Itaiiioneur machine has been invented. This Invention consists of four brushes formins it tqaaro head. which by means of e'astic strings contracts or expands, according to the small 07 extended space ;n which the machine moves, thereby creatirg an even pressure oa all tour sides of a chithrey. The rods attached to this head or brush are supplind at intervals with Universal epring joints, capable o" taming even a right angle and the wattle is su-inounted with a doab'e revolving bait, having also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with ce7tainty past every argle, and into every co-ner, cleansing .ts route most perfectly. Tho capabilities of this machine are 1 sat demonstrated by the fact, that it is aLclusively used to the Government and numerous public offices, while tie patrollage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry In cohtinuing their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well on of the philanthropic views of the projector— Detailed prospectuses May be obtaiued, and a u orkins model of the machlre seen, at the offices o: the solicitor, F, Dolman E - q , 39, Jermyn-street, St. James's ; a.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., P, BEDFORD-STREET, BEDFORD•SQUARE, LONDON. 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 requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order r that it may be really the cause of mutual happinese. Coul t veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every Instance disclosed, in how meny could it be traced to phy s ical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation to 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 she nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the 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 , a nd of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what snoject can be Of more importance than the preservation of the health, est of the physical capabilities of Witch every man should b e 7.o6sessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim cif excessive indulgence and vicious habits, - whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for aseistanee 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 lila posse-sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost esafidenee should 133 extended. Dr. LA'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.

RAISING WATER discovered by the FOUN TAIN PUMPS, which roll the water upwards, without either friction or faltering, therefore eau never be surpassed ; conse queitly this is the 'nest important discovery ever made for the pre set valid' •flife and property either at Sea or on Lam'. . . AT SEA numerous ships it has already saved, and the captains grateffilly ac knowledge the glorious results. Two testimonial extracts shall sellice : " Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountain Pump being fitted ii the Caroline, its great power was the means of saving the ship and 230 souls on board, two seams in the bottom being partly lett wlth,nt calking." " The Argus brig, front Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days out at sea, and soon after her common pump cheaked and became use less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foun tain Primp, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was in ac tion without a minute's respite, when ail arrived safely in Loudon, with a thank God for the Fountain Pump." ON LAND the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service than a fire brigade. They act instantaneously at the outbreak of a tire. " We are delighted with the invention—it is a great boon to so elety."—Editors Liverpool Mail. The New Portable Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on tire in and near the city, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly, including ii the seven the Qtteen's Cavalry Barracks ; and In the eleven, Meson. Horton's dyery, and 12,0001. worth of consigned pro perty; Stoke mustard, starch, and lour mills, and Messrs. Butcher's grocery warehouses, just in time to prevent a large quantity of gun powder tFercin from exploding, which must have spread around de struction and death: _ . " North Walsham —At this fire the Portable Engine was of great service, and by having one of them ready, there 13 no doubt but half the property now destroyed might have been saved."—Norfolk Chro nicle, August 22, 1846. At a Norwich fire June 2, 1647, the two Portable Engines were the pets of the public. The cry was, feed the little engines and they Rill do the work, which proved true. The feu* large engines present proved u3eless. Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozen atmo spheres. Now the fact is this, all former Force Pnrnps, Lift-force Panms, Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines : they rub, grub, and scrape the water upwards by friction, which wastes two-fifths of the power aced, and pi ogressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young and Hatter). with many other eleinent experimenters. lamented thus :—Tice quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom exceejs half the power consumed, after overcoming friction and leakage ; and notw:thstanding the be - t engineers in the world had tried in vain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects in hydranlie machines, nevertheless, at last the victory 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 from twelve to twenty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with out more outlay. Most plea can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 41 seconds, but some men drop at isinu;.e tin-c. With sheet new heavy working Fric tion Pamp en aotive soard-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can raise 10,000 lbs. of water one foot high iu a minute. and with a Foun taM Pump 9,000 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power. John Clenton Roberts, Esq., in bls popular work, No. 1,110, did well iu placing Gorset's French t'nmp Abortion (t! - ,at slaps the water upward) side by side with the Founimn Pump. which upset a good deal of Folly. Beceuse Mr. Mullett, Dublin, r. thorough-bred pump maker, Mr. liaddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr. Ewbunk, America, an ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the two pumps were hieotical. But the Yankee out-fooled John 801 l and Paddy in No. 1.183, and in No. 496, Book-maker Millington's remarks are prefosterous. However, on the other hand, Dr. Birk beck, Iherdeur, Hay, Parkington, Rith many other discerning men, after witnessing tho peri'ect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the rolling principle, gave the invention the folio wing true and susta:n als!e character:—The Fountain Pumd is the most important improve trent in the art of ratting water the t has appeared within the last two thousand years—the greatest advancement ix the useful ails in modern times. The Consummation Fountain Pumps are snccessfully carried oat for private rnd public uses, at lifts below and above 160 feet altitude, for man, hone, and steam power; deliv,ring from half a pint per str.-ke 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 pimps.

He tried a number of medioal mai, - but their medicines afforded him no re lief. He then had recourse to Holloway's Pills, which invaluable remedy soon restored him to excellent health. These pills act so immediately upon the seat of disease, that they, are considered the most popular specific for bile, sick headaches, deranged stomachs, disordered liver, flatulency, and similar complaints, and as a family me dicine, Holloway's Pills cannot be excelled.—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establishment, 244, Strand, London. TUE GAS MOVEMENT.—Yeaterday a very numerous and highly influential meeting of the parochial commit tee of ratepayers of Marylebone, took place at the Westmoreland Rooms, George-street, Manchester-square, tor the purpose of i eceiving the report of the sub committee, appointed to watch the proceedings of the Marylebone ves.try, in reference to the admission of the New Western Gas Cmpany to compete with the Ina- I pelial Gas Company in the supply of gas to this im mense district of the metropolis. Mr. T. E. Garnett, of Wigwore-street, was called to the chair. The report having been adopted, it was agreed that the deputations wait this day on the vestry to urge the confirmation of the roport of the Gas Committee. The meeting then separated.

The usual half-yearly general meeting of the pro prietors of the Kiikenny and Great Southern and Western Railway was held yesterday afternoon, at the offices of the Company in belahay-street, Westmin ster. Mr. Wyse, the late Member for Waterford, in the chair. After the seal had been fixed, The SECRETARY read the report, which stated that repeated attemp!s had been made to hold meetings of the company in the years 1847 and 1848, but, owing to the non-attendance of the proprietors, they fell to the ground. The directors did not recommend the adoption of any active measures at present, and had applied to the Commissioners of Railways for an ex tension of time. The expenses had been reduced, within their utmost limits, and the liabilities were of such an amount us to necessitate a call for 103. per share. The balance-sheet showed that the deposits re ceived on 11,250 shares had been 16,8751. ; the law expenses paid were 6,2251.; and the balance in hand, 3221. 4s. Bd. The report was unani mously adopted. In the course of a conversation, it was illicited that the law expenses amounted to upwards of 10 . 375/., and that the liabilities had been increased that morn ing by a claim for 1,000., which had been sent in, and could not be procured earlier. The retiring directors were re-elected, and after a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors the meeting separated. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. tFrom the London New Price Current of Feb. 4.) Susan,—To-day there was a falling off in the demand for all kinds of Raw Sugar, and for all purposes. This event is to be ascribed to Government being disinclined to interfere with the duties. Oa the part of merchants there is yet firmness, and they supply the market with caution. The purchases made in West India were limited, and only 140 hogsheads, Sec., were sold, E id former rates are sustained; this, however, would not have been the case, had holders pressed sales. At auction 273 hhds, 34 barrels, and 13 tierces of Tobago were taken in, good and fine yellow 42s to 445, middling 408 to 41s 6d, and 28 hhds of St Vincent's, middling yellow 41s per cwt. The total sales for the week are 1,700 hhds and trcs. REFINED.—To-day refined goods met with less at tention from the home trade, and prices are not so firm, lumps to pass the standard selling at 55s 6d per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is wanted at former rates. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the proceedings in the private market were of little moment, and none was offered at public sale. Holders, however, were not dii- posed to take lower rates. EAST Isui&.—The demand further increased for all kinds of Bengal Sugar, and by private treaty the large quantity of 6,000 bags found purchasers at prices 6d per cwt above those previously current. The parcels sub mitted to public sale were all sold, a❑d amounted to 5,1.54 bags. Madras is wanted, the supply of all sorts is less plentiful, and the progress of prices is yet upwards. FOREIGN.—To day there was less activity in the market for Foreign Sugar, but prices underwent no variation. The private sales are only 1,200 bags of brown Pernambuco at 38s per cwt. None was offered at public sale. 31oLassEs.—To-day a good business was done in West India, and rather higher rates were paid ; low to fine quality fetching from 16s to 19s per cwt. Cocos.—The market is still improving for all de scriptions of West India, and the supply is diminishing, whilst the consumption is larger. None has been sub mitted to public sale this week, but privately several purchases have been made, and at further reduced rates, Trinidad red selling at 488 to 525, grey 46s to 495, and Grenada 45s to 475. In Foreign the operations are upon a more extended scale, and at stiffer rates. COFFEE.—This afternoon a public sahs of 29 bags, and 63 casks of Plantation Ceylon Coffee went off briskly at 2s per cwt advance, good bold colory fetched 65s to 68s, good middling 60s to 635, middling 55s to 59s 6d, low middling 525, fine fine ordinary 44s to 475, fine ordinary 40s, good ordinary 35s to 38s, and damaged 32s to 425. Of Native 359 bags were taken in at 34s Gd for ordinary, and at 17s to 18s for triage, being above the value. 149 bags of Dutch Company's at 505 for fine bold yellow. TE.A..—Prices cannot be quoted higher for black, as the market is more freely supplied, but a good demand has been experienced for all descriptions, and the rates paid are fully equal to those previously current. The demand is brisk for all kinds of green, and previous improved prices are well sustained, whilst on the part of holders there is confidence; indeed in some cases stiffer rates are obtained. Pekoe Teas are more in re quest, and former quotations are well sustained. The quantity of Tea disposed of this week is far greater than in the previous one. The public sales of 26,540 pkgs have been well attended, and 15,000 pkgs were disposed of out of 25,000 pkgs passed. Ricis.—To-day there was no public sale of Rice, and the purchases made by private: treaty were of little moment in all sorts. For auction 4,000 bales and 2,530 pckts of Bengal are declared, and 3,000 bags of Madras. FRUIT.—The demand generally has considerably im proved this week. In Currants a large business has been done at the quotations; at present the importers are firmer in their demand; good and fine Valentias are scarce and wanted; there are two or three cargoes here being held for higher prices. Muscatels in layers are much inquired after; there are none left on hand. Denias in baskets—some large sales have been made this week at 31s to 325, and about 4,000 cases old Chesme Raisins at 31s to 325. SPicEs.—For Nutmegs the demand is not so good this week, and we have to announce a fall in prices of Id to 2d. At auction 45 packages were chiefly sold. The supply this week mostly consisted of the lower sorts. Mace cannot be quoted higher, but the sales con cluded privately are upon a more extended scale. For Pimento the demand privately has been good, and previous improved rates ore well sustained, whilst the supply is less plentiful. On the part of holders of Cloves there is firmness, but the sales made are of little moment privately. Holders of Black Pepper have con fidence, and the supply continues to decrease, whilst the demand is on the increase. SPIRITS.—There has been much inquiry after all de scriptions Of Jamaica Rum this week, but in consequence of the advanced rates insisted:upou, purchases of moment have been prevented. In Leeward Island purchases are prevented by the reluctance of holders to sell. Prices continue on the advance, and the sales continue to 200 puns at Is 10i to is 10d proof. East India is wanted at Is 9,1 to Is 9ld, proof with certificate, but few sellers arc to be met with. The stiff rates that are required in Demerara caused the sales to be of little moment, and 3s 2d to 3s Gd is the value of strong. There is firmness on the part of holders of Brandy, and the demand keeps good, whilst the stock is on the de crease. In the value of Geneva there is no variation to make known this week; the supply is small. To day the Rum market had a quiet appearance in consequence of Government not proposing any change in the duties, and former rates w ere not to be obtained for any sort. INDIGO.—The quarterly sale of East India will com mence on Tuesday, and the quantity declared is 10,133 chests. On the part of holders there is firmness, and a fair demand exists, whilst the rates paid exhibit an ad vance on those of the last quarterly sale of from 2d to 4d per lb. For Spanish former prices are well sus tained. — TunrENTINli.— Prices are still on the advance for Spirits, whilst the demand is animated, and the supply is falling off. Rough is in much better request, and fetches 8s 6d, indeed some parties will not sell at that rate, and there is only a moderate supply. Of Swedish Tar the stock is light, and the demand being good, buyers are compelled to pay 20a to 21s per barrel. OlLS.—This afternoon Cocoa Nut was in limited de mand, and 56 tons of fine Cochin at auction were all withdrawn ; 21 casks of Palm all sold at 32s 3d to 32s Gd for fine ; 25 tuns of southern 291 lOs to 311. TALLow.—Tl.is afternoon the public sales went off with spirit, and at high rates ; G 25 pkgs of South American were sold—fine quality at 49s 9d to 505 9d, good 48s to 49s GI, low and middling 43s 9d to 4Gs 9d er cwt.

MYSTERIOUS DEATHS IN RAT- CLIFFE. Yesterday forenoon, Mr. W. Baker, Coroner for East Middlesex, resumed the inquiry he hat opened a few days since, at the Queen Catherine public house, Brook-street, Ratcliffe, respecting the deaths of Mr. Andrew Witham, an engineer, aged 68, and his wife, Ann Witham, aged 58, who died within a few hours of each other under somewhat remarkable circumstances, at their roidence in Caroline-street, in the above neighbourhood. Mr. Fearnley, a solicitor, attended to watch the evidence on behalf of the relatives of the deceased• Mr. Doune, an attorney, was also present to watch his own and other parEes' interests. The male deceased, at the period of his demise, was possessed of 1,0001. in household property, the whole of which he made over in a will to Elizabeth Taylor, an elderly female, who acted as nurse to him, two or three days before his dissolution. Ile died on Tues day, the 25th ult., and his wife on the Sunday pre vious. No medical man was called in to attend them, but Mr. Buchanan, a surgeon, having occasion to call at the residence on the 22d, saw their state, and prescribed some medicine for them. Their deaths taking place, and reports being circulated that poison had been administered to them, the contents of their stomachs were handed over to Dr. Letheby, the pro fessor of chemistry at the London Hospital, for ana lysation. In the stomach of Andrew Witham there was about half an ounce of a thick brownish-green matter. It had a peculiar odour, strongly resembling that from mice. It was examined by six persons conversant with the odour of medicines, and they all agreed that it was strictly identical with that from hemlocii and its preparations. Dr. Letheby could not state positively that the deceased had died from the influence of poison, but he entertained strong suspi cion of the existence of hemlock. The stomach of the female also had the same odour. Mary Anne Paine said that for the last six weeks she had acted as a kind of under nurse to the deceased. Mr. Witham was troubled with violent retchings, and us.e3 to throw up great " filth" from his stomach. He was confined to his bed the whole of the six weeks, and was obliged to be lifted out and into his bed. His wife was somewhat similarly affected. Mrs. Taylor, the chief nurse, gave them their medicine. Mrs. Witham had taken some medicine composed of laudanum, distilled vinegar, treacle, and honey, being recommended to her by a man of the name of Pocock. CORONER—Did you ever hear Mr. Witham say anything about his will ? Witness—He used to tell Mrs. Taylor day after day to get herself righted, and get his will made out in her favour, for he did not know any one more deserving it, as she had behaved to him like a sister. His relatives never visited him. His brother, however, from Nottingham, came to see him on the Saturday before his death, but he scarcely spoke to him. (CORONER—When was the will made out ? ness—On the Wednesday before his demise. Mr. Donne, a solicitor, was sent for, who drew out the will. The property Was to go to the wife should she survive him, and then to Elizabeth Taylor, the nurse. It was read ever to him, and he seemed perfectly to understand it. Fr o i s e t l r r ee, Green,tstated that h e h a d been accustomed a hairdresser, living at No. 53, Ca to shave Mr. Witham f or t h e l ast e i g h teen mon th s . He was called in as a witne ss t o the. making of the will. Mr. Doune read it over to the deceased, but he could not say if his mind was in that sound state rleiduee r as to enable him to understand it. Mr. Doune put questions to him, and he merely replied " Yes." He believed that he was not in a sound state of mind at all times. He complained of a weakness in the head and a shortness of memory, Charles Collins, a labouring man, also spoke to being seat for to act as a witness to the will. He could not say that ,the deceased really understood it when it was read over to Lim. Mr. Francis Thomas Donne, a solicitor living at No. 1, Princes-street, Spitaltields, said that on the 3d of September, 1846, he made out a w ill f or th e de ceased, by which he left the whole of his property to his wife. On the 18th of last month Mrs Taylor, the nurse, called upon him and required his assistance, stating that Mr. Witham wished the property to be left to her. He advised her to have a legacy and be done with it, but it was not acted upon. On the fol lowing day he called at the deceased's residence, and received his instructions. It was difficult to get answers from him, but he gleaned the necessary in formation in the course of conversation. Mrs. Taylor was present, and explained that it was Mr. Witham's desire to leave his property to her after his wife's death. On the 20th he visited the house, and read the will over to the deceased. He explained it to him, ' and he nodded assent. Mr Fearnley--1 believe you held the pen for him to put his name to the document? Witness—l did. Being very weak, Mrs. Taylor presented him the pen, but I told her she must not assist; I therefore held it, and she touched the top and moved it. Mr. Fearnley—Now, you say Mrs. Taylor called upon you, and intimated that the deceased wished to leave her his pi-s-Terty. The next day you called and got your instructions, explain a little more how you gleaned information from the deceased ? Witness— Why, I heard what he desired, rtrld then I put ques tions to him ; as I before stated, it was difficult to get answers from him, but all that transpired left the con viction on my mind that he wished to leave Mrs. Taylor his property. Mr. Fearnley—But he was very imbecile ? Wit ness— He might be as rega'rds his health, but not with his mind. Two constables of the K division stated that they had been to the several chemists and herbaldists in ISSUB DirI,BTICENT. 2.
