It deservedly requires the closest attention and study. for what subject can be of more imeortanee than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and. %lc' • ous habits, whether acquired In early life or from the folliei of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear 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 ad, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination iii ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the int;lliont and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by Ma posse sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should he 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 bis professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

This breach of the law is acquiesced in by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utterim possibility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects of tbelvw by avoldin7 all necessity for its infringement, the inge nious and effective ltamoneur machine has been invented. This invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, ae,ording to the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby creating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angle and the whole is surmounted with a doutle revolving ball, having also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing it• route most perfectly. The capabilities of this machine aro best demonstrated by the fact, that it is exclusively used in the Government and numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry in continuing their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of the philantb: opic views of the projectors.

We proposed at the opening of this inquiry to put forward all the considerations which are opposed to the introduction of a common or general navigation Act for Germany, even when clothed in the form of the oft-mentioned draft of a treaty which is based upon much more liberal principles -th?r , any former proposals. In this, as in all former plans, the diffe rential system forms the nucleus round which are grouped all the other proposed measures. Several of these latter measures are highly de sirable and useful. Such are the proposed regulations (sec. 6) for facilitating on all sides traffic by the inland frontiers of the different states ; further, the benefits to be conferred on the manufacturing inte rests, by mutual concessions as to remission of duties and modifications of transit duties, and particularly the diminishing or abolition of river dues. All these are measures which would be of the greatest service to commerce, would contribute to the prosperity of the country, and would be everywhere hailed with joy; but they stand in no immediate connexion with a system of differential duties affecting navigation in general, and might, the! efore, be introduced quite irrespective of such system. The union (recommended sec. 7) for introducing a uniform system of coinage, weights, and measures, which might perhaps lead to union also for postal arrangements, for the taxing of commercial travellers, &c., would likewise be very desirable, but would be attended with great difficulties, which would, how ever, by no means be obviated by the proposed Navi gation Act. The same may be said of any common agreement as to laws touching quarantine regula tions, stranded goods, &c. (sec. 19.) These and other measures fraught with blessings might indeed be the fruits of the united endeavours of the German states for the prosperity of the com monwealth, if conceived in the spirit of national unity, though quite independent of any union for a common navigation law, such as the one we have de scribed; but there are other measures comprised in the projected treaty, some of which can only be con sidered as the external signs of such a union, and others as the conditions and consequences of it, and can only be taken into consideration as such. The success and utility of these measures, quite inde pendently of their connexion with that system , is very prnhlem2tieal. A aermiau flag wonla not, ',cog nised as such until known to represent a permanent union of all German states in matters relative to navi gation and commercial policy; and even in that - case it would be matter for serious consideration whether it would be advisable to substitute for the Prussian, Bremen, or Hamburgh flag, which have for years been known and respected beyond the seas, and which are in a certain mea,ure favoured either by treaties and laws or by the good opinion of merchants—a symbol which as yet is perfectly unknown, and which will require a long time to acquire for itself similar con sideration. The same may be applied to the Danish flag, regarding which there is the additional diffi culty that it must be given up by some ships which now carry it, while it would be retained by others. Besides, surely not only the interests of the smaller states individually, but the interests of Germany at large, require that we should well consider what would be the result in case of a war, even indepen dent of a war between the confederated states, if the German commercial fleet, united under a common symbol, should be obliged to follow the policy of the more important belligerent ,powers, instead of the smaller states being able, as heretofore, each under its own neutral flag, to carry on the trade of Germany unmolested. Another measure (sec. 5), namely, the framing of uniform regulations as to the requisites of a national ship, with regard to is - s origin, crew, measurement, and papers, must, if it is not to prove injurious, in stead of advantageous, be couched in the most gene. ral terms. The limits which other nations choose to impose upon themselves with regard to these matters ought not to be considered a rule of guidance for us, as experience has proved their unfitness, and will probably soon lead to their being abandoned. No thing could be less advisable than to prevent the purchasing of vessels built in foreign countries, in order to promote ship-building at home, for this would be an indirect burden imposed alike upon ship owners and commerce ; and it would be equally im prudent to restrain the shipowners in their choice of an efficient crew, in order to promote the training of mariners, who are after all not required for man-of war service. The joint appointment of consuls to act for all the different states (sec. 18), would either deprive the Governments of these states of the advantage of re ceiving frequent and direct accounts from foreign commercial places, or would overwhelm the agent with labour, by rendering it necessary for him to write ten or twenty reports instead of one, independent of its placing him in the difficult position of having some times to choose between the interests of his different employers, which cannot possibly always be identical. It is only in exceptional cases, and under very pecu liar circumstances, that several states can be repre sented in a foreign country by a common agent, without inconvenience arising therefrom ; but it is even now the rule, that the subjects of such German states as are not represented in foreign ports are to he protected by the representatives of the other German states. The concerting as to the common adoption of principles of n eutralit y , blockade, &c. (sec. 19) by countries i Powers, and w hi c h are t key which to b e e a n r g e a n g o e t naval n war tog e th er , can on l y b e with a view to concentratin g their efforts towards effecting the un iversal ackno wledgment of the prin ciple " free ship, free goo a principle which, even now, the German states individually, and par ticularly the lianse Towns, do all in their power to promote. Though it may in many cases be very desirable for the German Governments to enter in common into treaties of navigation and commerce with foreign na tions, it is very doubtful if it would be for interest of Germany, if it were to be made a standing rule, that treaties of this kind could only be concluded in common, or at least on the condition that all Ger man states should equally participate in the benefits conferred by the treaty. Such a rule would prevent individual states from securing to themselves by treaties commercial advantages, Which, though they might, in the first place, benefit the subjects of the pan ticular state, could not fail to benefit indirectly the general commerce and indus i try of Germany also, while the omission of the ru.e can injure no one. Experience, indeed, shows that the na v i gat i on treaties hitherto entered into by individual German states, have often been beneficial, and ne ver d etr i mental, to Germany in general. The (sec. 1 7) proposed notice to terminate all these treaties would not only deprive the contracting parties of the advantages secured thereby, but would, by appearing to foreign states as a hostile proceeding, induce them to retaliate against the trade and shipping interests of Germany by measures 1, hich no Navigation Act of ours could ever remedy. Finally, there is an object which has not been dis tinctly named in what has hitherto been said, but which is contemplated throughout the proposals which we are discussing, and which has also been borne in mind by us during the course of our inquiry. The draft of the treaty (sec. 2) proposes as the object of ? the projected union :—" To establish in all matters relative to navigation and trade the principle of the EXAMFLEL.

Two testimonial extracts shall suttee : " Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountain Pump being fitted in the Caroline, 10 great power was the means et saving the ship and 230 souls on board, two seams in the bottom being partly left without calking." " The Argus brig, from Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days out at sea, and soon after her common pump choaked and became use less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foun tain Pump, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was la ac tion without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely in London, with a thank God for the Fountain Parnp." ON LAND the New Portable Fire-engines are better service than a fire brigade. They act instantaneolisly at the outbreak of a lire. " We are delighted with the invention—it is a great boon to so ciety."—Editors Liverpool Mail. The New Portable Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on fire in and near the city, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly, including in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and in the eleven, Messrs. Horton's dyery, and 12,0001. worth of consigned pro perty ; Stoke n:ustard, starch, and flour 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 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 is no doubt bat half the property now destroyed might have been saved."—Norfolk Chro nicle, August 22, 1846. It a Norwich fire June 2, r 847, 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-fifths of the power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young and Hutton, with many other eminent experimenters, lamented thur:—The quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom et:cee,'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 hydraulic machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is won, and won for eve: ; 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 men can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 40 seconds, but some men drop at minute time.- With a best new heavy working Fric tion Pump an active sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can raise 10,600 lbs. of water one foot high in a minute, and with a Foun tain Pump 9,000 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni versal ignorance,lelearly 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. Mullett, 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 in 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 Consummation Fountain Pumps are successfulLy carried out for private and public uses, at lifts below and above 100 feet altitude, for 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 ridiculous, whiLst their durability is guaranteed at less cost than common pumps. _ . _ W.

The latter half of this preposition, to begin with that, has in the present,state of navigation regulations one very practical side. The other maritime states, whose laws are to _be taken into account, in as far as they favour direct navigation from European ports, or rather in as far as they place restrictions on indirect navigation, mean by direct navigation the importation of goods from the country in which they have been produced, and frequently in the ships of that country also ; And as they must in this matter be guided by political geography, German ships and German produce are in conse quence frequently placed in the unfavourable posi tion that, though coming from Germany, they cannot be considered as corning from their own country. This is of practical importance with regard to our commerce with two countries, namely, Great Britain and Portugal. Portugal, as has already:been stated, imposes diffe• rential duties upon imports in all ships which do not belong to her own flag or to the country which has produced the goods : this is frequently rather incon venient, particularly with regard to butter, the prin cipal article of the trade of Hamburgh with Portu gal, because the Hamburgh merchants are obliged to use inferior Portuguese vessels for the transport of their butter, unless they would load a Mecklenburgh ship with a ,fall cargo of Mecklenburgh butter, and supply it with a certificate of origin. With the ex ception of the Hanse Towns, Germany is not, how ever, much concerned in this matter ; and as for the Hanse Towns, they, having hitherto been able to help themselves in other ways, will certainly not consider this point of sufficient importance to render the in troduction of a German navigation-law desirable. With regard to England, the matter is of much greater importance. According to the stringent rules of the old navigation-laws, a Prussian vessel was not allowed to import corn from Hamburgh to England. In virtue of the treaty between Austria and Great Britain concluded in 1838, and of an Act of Par liament occasioned by this treaty, exceptions were made in mitigation of this rule ; the Government was empowered to conclude treaties, acknowledging the principle that foreign ships belonging to foreign states, and coming from ports situated at the mouths of rivers which flow through those states, shall be considered as coming from their own ports. England has since then proved, by voluntary concessions and by treaties, not only that she considers this assimila tion of foreign outports to the ports of the country as harmless with regard to her own interests, but also that she looks upon further mitigations in her restric tive system as quite reconcileable with her own advantage ; and it may be predicted with pretty much certainty, that should the British Navigation Act be repealed, or at least greatly modified, the regulations which we are here alluding to would be the first to fall. But it is a very different matter if the disadvantages under which German ships are suffering are not to be removed, not in virtue of treaties or by the voluntary adoption of more liberal commercial views by foreign states, but by their recognition of the principle of the unity of Germany as a state (Staatliche Einheit Deutschlands). If such recognition is to . be obtained, or in a manner enforced, by coercive measures on our side, and contrary to the inclination of foreign powers, this will, in all probability, lead to discussions from which it will not be easy to exclude appeals to the international laws of Europe and to the treaties based upon these. These laws and treaties, as is well known, recognise in Germany only separate and independent states, and as a whole, only the German Confederation. Of course no one can pre vent the separate states from forming unions among themselves, but on the other hand, it could not surely be made matter of complaint, should foreign states refuse to recognise in such a union the unity of a state. The projected union for navigation and trade is meant to be a union for action upon foreign states, and proposes to consider as foreign states all such (even German states) as have not joined the union. Thus, Austria, Holstein, and Lunenburg, if they should not give in their adherence, would be treated as foreign states, and their trade perhaps be burdened with differential duties. But how can we demand that others should recognise a German unity, if we ourselves do not recognise it, but, on the contrary, treat some of the states of the German Confederation as foreign states. If the union mean to put forward claims to such recognition, it seems to us that it can only be done on the condi tion that it shall comprise all the states of the Con federation, and that the Diet shall form its centre. But as to whether it will be possible, within a given time, to embrace all the states of the Confederation, Austria and Luxembourg, as well as Holstein and Lunenburg, in a common union for navigation and trade, such as the one described, or whether it would be advisable to entrust the direction of such, a union to the Diet at Frankfort; these are questions which we have not at present the means of answering, Other questions also here press upon us, which can not at present be answered. Would a union of Ger man states, ss hich did not embrace all the states of the Confederation, have a right to call the German flag its own ? or would such a union have a right to call the symlipl of its union the German flag? Would foreign states recognise it as such ? Would the con suls chosen to represent the union be German con suls, or only union consuls ? Would a German con sulate or a German flat be able to maintain a digni fied position in distant regions, if not protected by a German fleet ? Would the Confederation, which has been obliged to use great efforts to establish an army (Rundes Armee), be willing to make the still greater efforts ; which it would require to create a German war fleet, and would it be able to surmount the al most unconquerable difficulties which oppose the at tainment of this object ? But, independent of the relations of the union to foreign (non-German) states, it is very doubtful whether the projected system of differential duties would in any way promote, in Germany itself, the principle of national unity which lies at its founda tion. We have at the commencement of this section enumerated several matters which the projected union, in accordance with this principle, desires to see regulated in common by all Germany. It would, probably, however, be most desirable that these mea sures, originating among a small number of united states, should thence spread over the rest of Germany, as, for instance, the adoption of a common western of coinage by the states of the Zollverein has opened the way for the introduction of a uniform system throughout Germany. But when we come to treat of a union for navigation, the true character of which consists in the common adoption of measures which are to be brought to bear against foreign countries, the matter a.ssumes a very different aspect, for here we meet at the very first step the anomaly above alluded to, namely, that Ger man states which do not join the union are to be treated like foreign states, and consequently in many respects like opponents. Why, this would be the very means of destroying in the bosom of Germany herself the! principle of her national unity. Besides, this unity cannot be promoted by a system of cus toms which, as we have endeavoured to prove in the preceding sections, is not advantageous for the ma terial welfare of the country ; which, on the con trary, is prejudicial to trade and industry; which impedes commercial intercourse, instead of promoting it ; which is destructive of the principle of commercial liberty that has hitherto been the basis of the com mercial policy of the German states ; and which, by imposing upon a union of independent states the impracticable task of reconciling, by a series of pro tective measures adopted in common, the interests of the sea-board states, of the general commerce, of the shipping trade, and of the inland countries, will introduce elements of discord into the union, which it will be impossible afterwards to master. The system of differential duties is, like all other protective systems, a system of favouring and pre ference, and is, therefore, in accordance with its nature, more likely to destroy union than to promote it. A system of differential duties affecting naviga tion as it regards foreign states, does, indeed, in: the first instance, only aim at injuring foreign nations. But it is a necessary consequence of such a system, that at home also one branch of business is favoured at the expense of another, and in the end none are benefited. Natural inequalities are to be levelled by artificial means ; and because everything cannot b e raised to the same height, that which has naturally risen above the rest is artificially depressed until it is reduced to the same level. In the same manner as the various branches of industry are differently af fected by the differential system, so are also the dif ferent states and the different towns. If it be desi rable for the south-western states of Germany that the transit through France, Belgium, an d H o ll an d , should be open for their imports, then th e impedi ments caused by differential duties cannot he wel come to them, though they might benefit the commercial ports of North Germany. It is fur ther evident that measures which mi g ht be advan tageous for certain seaports, as , f or i ns t ance , a r i se in the rates of freightage, would, on the contrary,. be detrimental to the inland states, which have no ship , owners. The difference in the interests - of the states [PRICE 3D. on the sea coast and those in the interior, is too ob vious to need further explanation. But even were tho geographical position is the same, as in- the case of the Hanse Towns, the interests may be different, and it is not at all impossible that a system of differen tial duties which would be destructive to the one city might benefit the other, or at least certain important branches of its trade. But nothing is so destructive of union as such advantages bestowed upon one, in preference to another. It is in the peculiar nature of such preferences that the one always calls forth an other. Some one particular interest which is wounded and perhaps injured, by privileges bestowed upon another, claims some o.her privilege fur its own de fence, and also as a means of competing with a third interest, which then also lays claim to legal protec tion ; and all these claims and assertions, and re fusals and accusations, give rise to that struggle of all against.all, which is the very opposite of union and unity. Whether the proposed differential duties „might benefit particular states or particular cities in parti cular instances it has not been our objeht toinquire t e general e u r p a o l ; n into. W e h ave had to consider them only in their effects thetheane ri e s of o d commerce and induStry of Germany in s wehave therefore nsegae n o e s abstained whichsuch from mentioning a measure would have for Hamburgh especially, even were it not in itself quite impossible that Hamburgh could join the union, if all other ports on the Elbe, and particularly Altona, did' not •do the same. We have only then directed particular . attentio n to the commerce of Hamburgh, when the disadvantages accruing to this commerce would affect - the commerce of the whole of Germany. Yet it must be admitted that disadvantages accruing to particular interests, without being compensated for by advantages accruing to the general interests, would in all cases be considered as furnishing a powerful argument against a proposed measure ; but the benefits accruing to some particular state, or some particular city, can never justify the adoption of a system that would be more prejudicial than beneficial to the nation in general. If every seaport town in Germany were to invent a system of customs for Germany, entirely suited to its own particular interests, this system, were it to survive the struggle of conflicting interests, which it would be sure to call forth, even in its very birth- place, would, when spread abroad, be opposed in a hundred ways, and if, nevertheless, carri e d th roug h , wou ld ca ll forth num berless complaints. Only in as far as they are not in opposition to the interests of all, can any individual interests have any claim to general consideration. It is a remarkable sign of the times that in Germany, where the individual states have prospered and eeve loped themselves so rapidly, under the especial guardianship of separate Governments, a voice is nevertheless raised throughout the country to advo cate the general interests of the nation, in conjunction with, and even in :preference to the particular interests of the separate states of the Confedera tion. This voice has been responded to on all sides, also on the German shores of the North Sea and on this side of the frontiers of the Zollverein, and even where it is heard less loudly and less fre quently, the feeling, of which it is the expression, is not therefore wanting. Hamburgh may with truth repel the accusation' of indifference to German interests which has so often been levelled against her. Whenever the cause of the common fatherland has required her services, Hamburgh has never been wanting; she has evinced her German feelings in war as well as in peace ; during the war of liberation she made the greatest sacrifices for the nation, and she has since then fulfilled her duty as a member of the Confederation with zeal and punctuality. In her ' treaties she has never forgotten the commercial interests of Germany, and in her commercial legisla tion she has always had an eye to the interests of German industry ; and the great mission which she has to fulfil, in her character of mediator between the oommerce of Germany and that of the countries beyond the seas, she has acquitted herself of in a manner which we may indicate with just pride, when ever Germany requires a proof of our activity and zeal for the common weal. The free and independent way in which, the trade of the Hanse Towns has developed its peculiar character is the true German way, while all navigation laws and systems of differential duties are plants of foreign growth, which are now for the first time to be transplanted into German soil. The fact of Hamburgh having gradually risen to oe one of the emporiums of the world, must react favourably on the whole of Germany, and it cannot be to the advantage of Germany, nor can it be her intention, to reduce such an emporium to a mere place of export and import for a single country, were it ever so extensive. That which, in addition to our natural love for our native country, forms the great bond between Germany and ourselves, is the protec tion which she affords to the liberty of our city as well as of our commerce, and the advantages which this commerce bestows upon her in return. We also desire national unity; we also desire to see Germany united, powerful and great; but we cannot desire to see a system introduced as a means for this end, which, according to the investigations that we have made, will on the contrary defeat it ; which, though aiming at the promotion of the national welfare, threatens to ir.flict deep wounds on every branch of our interests; which, indicating free trade as its ob ject, commences with placing restrictions upon trade ; and, which, starting from the principle of national unity, leads to discord and to disunion. There is but one system which affords grounds of complaint to no one, because it favours none, and injures none—this is the system of commercial freedom ; and this is our national system. 'There is an English system of navigation laws ; this is the system of prohibitio❑ of imports. Eng land recognises its evils, and will probably discon tinue it. There is a French system of navigation laws; and this is the system of differential duties. These have proved themselves useless in the countries where they have been introduced, except in as far as they are connected with their colonial policy, and have called forth a number of opponents, who will probably ultimately succeed in getting them repealed. But there is also a German system of navigation laws ; and this is the system of free trade, under the protection of which Germany has attained a degree of prosperity greater than that of any other continen tal state, and which will soon be adopted by England, whose example will at a later period be followed by other nations. May it please the Princes of Germany in their wisdom to preserve this jewel for the nation. NEW APPLICATIONS FOR LICENCES.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE AT THE BULL INN, BISHOPS• GATE.—Last evening Mr. Joseph Payne, the Deputy Coroner, held an inquest at the Bull Inn, Bishopsgate, on the body of John Collard, aged 44, a helper at the above inn. From the evidence it appeared that the de ceased had, for several weeks past, been unwell and confined to his bed. Yesterday morning Mrs. Wade, the landlady, on going into his bed-room with some toast and water fir him, was astonished at finding, him hanging to the bedpost. An instant alarm was given, the police were called in, and the deceased was cut down, but life was quite extinct. The deceased had been noticed, of late, to be exceedingly' depressed and low spirited, and it was the opinion of Mrs. Wade that he was not able to earn sufficient to keep himself. .The jury having consulted, they returned a verdict of "Tem porary insanity." A letter of the 27th ult. from Algiers states that the submission of Abd-el-Kader was announced there by salvos of cannon. The city was illuminated at night, and the Central Commissary of Police went to the theatre and made known the important event to the audience, who received the intelligence with enthusias tic cheers. The " Marbeillaise." was called f or - an d su ng on the stage, the whole of the audience joining in the chorus. A correspondent sends us the following :—Sale continued to say he was innocent until ten:o'clock on Sunday night, when he expresses a wish to see the Rev. Ordinary. The Rev. Gentlenian .at Dace proceeded to his cell, when he said, ." He_could, not get God to relieve his wicked soul as he should like," on which the Rev. Gentleman replied—" No i• God will not give peace to the soul of any o ne o f us , un l ess we speak the truth in all things." Saie•paused for a moment, and then said—" I confess I. did do it . .. I struck the blow. What INI`Coy has said-is the.truth. It was agreed that .M`Coy should rob Mr.,: Bell chambers, and, if he made any resistance, I was to knock' him down. I had the bolt with me, which was known to Young, but M'Coy .did not know it at the time." Sale then proceeded to say 'that he' had been guilty of a great many o th er cr i mes b e f ore . Aft er this confession he became exceedingly penitent, and expressed a hope that he should be. forgiven. He then expressed a wish to have one of his handcuffs taken off, on which the Rev. Gentlemen sent for Mr. Cope, and it was agreed that the handcuffs should be removed. At the request of Sale, the Rev. Gentle man write the two letters already alluded te. ' The following letters were written the wretched man's dictation by the Rev. Ordinary " Condemned Cell, Newgate, 20 min. to 11, raw. Jan. 9, 1848. " Dear Father and Mothcr,—Hoping to find you as well as lam at present, considering my unhappy situation, I write this letter to you. I hope my bro ther William and my sisters mill be good children towards you, and comfort you. When my poor bro ther Henry has got his liberty* I hope he will be dear to you. Dear mother, I hope you will protect my poor children. I could earnestly beg your prayers for my wicked soul if it were possible. Had I taken your advice and •my father's I. should not have heen here. I pray that the blessed Lord may receive my guilty soul. I have sent you a lock of my hair; a portion of it for my wife.

B.—For some time past the con duct of the navvies engaged on the Aberdeen Rail way, in the neighbourhood of Stonehaven, has been a source of much anxiety to the peaceable inhabitants of that village, and on Wednesday last there was a serious riot, attended with loss of life. It appears that the navvies were paid their wages by the contractor of the works, and at midnight began to offer insults to some of the villagers, who were then engaged in celebrating Christmas in the old style. Towards morning a good many houses were forcibly entered, and soon after it became evi dent that a premeditated attack was about to be made. The constabulary force were able to hold in check the earlier disturbances, but the Highlandmen, being armed with bludgeons, and perfectly ferocious, every attempt to resist their barbarous onslaught was futile, and the police had to abandon the ground. Houses were now broken into, bakers' and butchers' shops ransacked, spirit cellars in some cases emptied, and one young man was so severely bruised by the blows of a ruffian that he died on Wednesday night; others were more or less bruised, and some of them now lie in a very hopeless condition. • As soon as Mr. Gordon, the sheriff-clerk, was made aware of the riot, he dispatched an express to Aber deen, which arrived about the same time as an express from Captain Barclay, of Ury, near Stonehaven, for a detachment of the military stationed here, and the Lord Lieutenant of Kincardineshire having stated the necessity of the case personally to the com mandant of the depot, two companies were imine d.iately dispatched and arrived in time to restore quiet and apprehend the ringleaders of the riot. (From the North British Mail of Friday) We briefly referred yesterday to a disturbance which occurred on Tuesday among the railway nav vies at West Calder, and of which we have since learned the following narticulers :—Tt annears that on moiluay atm part of Tuesday the whole of the railway labourers employed on the Caledonian Rail way, in the neighbourhood of West Calder, the great majority of whom were Irish, a very few only being Scotch, and some English, were paid off by the contractors, the works on that line of railway being completed. The Irish labourers, to the number, we understand, of 1,000, occupied a temporary vil lage of huts at a place called Cobbinshaw, adjacent to the line of railway, and about a mile and a half from West Calder, which they were ordered to evacuate, as the authorities, anticipating serious disturbances if they were allowed to remain in that part of the country, the villagers and the navvies not being on good terms, determined to destroy the huts, and thereby dislodge them. About four o'clock on Tuesday afternoon a great number of the Irish labourers, amounting, it is said. to upwards of 600, armed with guns, pikes, palings, sticks, and other offensive weapons, one of them being armed with a scythe, entered West Calder and threatened to burn the village, in revenge for the proposed destruction of their huts, and the assistance which the villagers and Scotch and English labourers uniformly rendered to the police in quelling the dis turbances which arose among the Irish on every pay day. The villagers, however, reinforced by the few Scotch and English labourers in the neighbourhood, and ten or twelve constables cf the county police force, though altogether scarcely half the number of their assailants, promptly turned out to meet the rioters, whom they encountered at the entrance of the village. A severe fight ensued, es hich ended in the complete discomfiture and rout of the Irish party, who fled in all directions ; but the police succeeded in apprehending ore man, who was armed with a gun which he had stolen from the house of one of the villagers during the affray. As the defeated navvies threatened to return in the evening, by Which time they expected to receive a reinforcement from a village of huts within a few miles of Cobbinshaw, where seve ral,hundrede of Irish labourers were living, information of the anticipated attack was immediately dispatched l to Mr. List, the superintendent of county police, in Edinburgh, and was received by him about nine o one o'clock in the evening. Application was thereupon made to Major General Riddell, the comma nder-in.- chief, for a cavalry a from nd about p ershil Barracks, which o'clock on Wednes da y mornin g fifty men of the 3d Dragoon Guards left for - West Calder. Th e y were detachment w as at once o f granted, met at the west end of Princes-street by Acting Sheriff Campbell and Mr. List, who accompanied the cavalry to West Calder. "Upon their arrival there everything was found quiet, and the military were billeted in Mid Calder, a few miles distant, where they remained ready for action, should their assist ance be required. O n Wednesday, however, no dis position to riot was shown by the Irishmen, who were evidently awed by the presence of the soldiers. During the whole of the day the police were engaged in • apprehending the principal parties engaged in the riot on the previous day, and they succeeded in capturing three of the ringleaders, who, along with the man taken with the gun in his possession, were sent off to Edinburgh gaol, where they were safely lodged on Wednesday night. In the course of Wednesday the huts of Cobbinshaw were evacuated by the Irishmen, who have spread them selves all over the country, and the only persons now remaining are sick or convalescent, and women and children. They also are to remove as soon as possible, when the huts will be entirely destroyed. Yesterday Mr. List and Acting Sheriff Campbell were to pro ceed to a place called Torphin, about two miles from Cobbinshaw, where a number of Irishmen was in the outrage are and located in huts, for the purpose of searching for rioters, ex that a number of the Irishmen etngeagvilla village of Black burn,to warn the navvies to remove. It edpected also on Tuesday would be aboutfound at h thr e e miles distant Campbell d there yesterday , but up to a late from West in Lin clitabidgeorw;shairoed, Acting Sheriff proposed to proceed county police office in Edinburgh of the proceedin gs of Irishmen, in bands hour last night no infor m ation was received at the yesterday. A great number o f fifty, were seen on Wednesday and yesterday, proceeding to Edinburgh by bye- roa d s , f rom the direction of Cobbinshaw, but no property, so far as w e have heard, in the road of march, has been injured. CAUTION TO HOTEL AND TAVERN-KEEPERS.—At an early hour on Saturday evening a person of gentle manly address, and having the appearance of a fo reigner, entered the Shades wine-rooms, Leicester iquarr, and requested, previously to taking refreshment, that he might he permitted to wash his hands. He was inconsiderately shown into a room where a considerable quantity of plate was deposited, and on the waiter soon after going to look after his anticipated customer, it was discovered that he had contrived to elude observation and had decamped, taking with him seventeen silver table-spoons and other articles of plate. The Sabloniere, and some other hotels in the neighbourhood, have suffered similar depredations, supposed to have been effected by the same individual, who is described as of about the middle height, wearing a black mustache, and speaking with a foieign accent.
