The increasing prosperity of the Society has enabled the Directors at the annual Meeting held on the 12th May, 1847, to declare a tift'o b mus, varying from 35 to 85 per eent. on the premiums paid oa each policy effected on the. profit scale, A A E. .NI One half the worid are desolately smile, and the other Supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense fit 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 comprosin harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, ant broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social context. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should locus an item In the compact ; tt alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, If these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYERWELL'S little MEMOIRS ' On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6cl. each). Let ne imaginatively Paned, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, net* be hindered op misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining theta. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, bnt for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by xnqualifled authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two ether little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by Post Is. 6c1.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribbling& of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate— t 3 do unto others as he would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always on the " gunny side of the way." The above works may be hid of Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row; Carvalho, 147, Fleet street I Mann, n, Cornhill ; Nalson, 457, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other wise) front the author (who may be conferred with personally, Mornings a nt evenings), 10, Argyll-pl ace R egeni-street ; and all Booksellers.

The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 65, are continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in by a large portion of the public, front a conviction of the utter im possitility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with the 01,1 machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge nious and effective ilamoneur machine has been invented. This invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which by means of. elastic, springs contracts or expands, according 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 double revolving ball, having also a universal spring joist, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated by the fact, that it is axclusively used in the Government and numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry in eontinuing their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors.

It un fortunately happens that t he unhappysliould victim of excessive indu l g ence and vicious habits, whether acquiredur in early life or from the follies 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 art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it call be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining, the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, imva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by hi.; posse-lion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pnrsuits, the utmost confidence should be extended.

RAISING WATER discovered by the FOUN TAIN PUMPS, which roll the water upward;, without either friction or faltering, thetefore can never be surpassed ; conse quently this is the most important discovery ever made for the pre servation of life and property either at Sea or on Land. AT SEA numerous ships it has already saved, and the captains gratefully ac knowledge the glorious results. Two testimonial extracts shall suffice : " Captain Greig, from Quebec to Landoll, states that the Fountain rump being fitted in the Caroline, its great power was the means of saving the ship and 230 souls on hoard, two seams in the bottom being partly lett without calking." " The Argue brig, from Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days out at sea, and soon after her common pump choaked and became use less. Captain llytherford states all then depended upon her Foun tain Fump',. which for nineteen daysitnct eighteen nights was in ac tion without a mihute's respite, whoa. 11 arrived safely in London, with a thank Gad for the Fountain FUtnp." . - ON LAND the New Portable .Fire-engines are of infinitely better service than a fire brigade. They act instantaneously at the outbreak of a Are.' " We are delighted with the Invention—it is a great boon to so ciety."—Editors LiverpOol Mall. The New Portable Fire-engine; have preserved a large portion of Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on Are 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. Norton's dyery, and 12,0001. worth of consigned pro perty; Stoke 'mu - staid, starch, a•lct flour mills, and Messrs. Butcher's grocery warehonsea, just in tirn• to prevent a large quantity of gun powder therein from exploding, which must have spread around de struction and death. - " North Walshain.—,-At this fire thn,Portable Engine was of great service, and by having one of them ready, there is no doubt but half the property now Oestroyed might have been saved."—Norfolk Chro nicle, August 22, 1846.' At a Norwich lire 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 Let 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-fitths of the power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young and Hatton. with many other eminent experimenters. lamented thus : —The quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom exceek's half the rower consumed, after overcoming friction and leakage ; and notWithstandiog the Lest engineers in the world had trird in vain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects in hydraulic machines, nevertheless; at last the victory is won, and won for ever t-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 mendrop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric tion Pump an active sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can raise 10,000 lbs. of water one loot 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, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power. John Clenton Roberts, Ess., in his popular work, No. 1,110, did well in placing, Gosset's French. rump Abortion (that slaps the water upward) side by side with the Fountain Pump, which upset a good deal of Folly.. Because . Mr. Mullett, Duldin, a thorough-bred pump maker, Mr. iSaddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr. Ewbank, America, an ignorant pump bookmaker, 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 remarks are preposterous. However, en 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 sustan able character:—Tbe 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.'

The Winchester has a poop, and was last employed as the flag-ship of Rear-Admiral the Hon. J. Percy, on the Cape of Good Hope station, but is not in an advanced , state for commission. The Actaeon, 26, Captain Mansel, having been re lieved on the coast of Africa station by the Amphi trite, 25, Captain Eden, is shortly expected home. She is ordered to be paid off at this port. The Birkenhead steam-frigate, Commander Ingram, will be paid off on Thursday. She has only been fourteen months in commission. It is, however, ex pected she will. be immediately recommissioned, and alilher present officers re-appointed, except one. The Prince Regent, 92, Captain W. F. Martin, has topmasts pointed, and is getting on well with her rigging, considering the few me n she has at present to work, Her rendezvous at Liverpool, Bristol, Yarmouth, and other places, have yielded many good men; 'few have entered for her. here. Commander Fead, ofthe Howe, 120, relieved Commander Caldwell yesterday. Lieutenant' Rodd, late of the Fisgard, is appointed to her as first lieutenant; he has, like Com mander Fead, the reputation of being a very smart and efficient officer. A letter from the Ask, 84, Captain -Stop ford, flag of Rear-Admiral 'Phipps 'Hornby, C.B , the Com mander-in- Chief in the Pacific, dated Plymouth Sound, January 6, 7 a.m., says :—" We are now getting ready for sailing ; we start directly ; we carry out the following officers :—Lieutenants J. B. Bal lard, H. A. Hollingsworth, and F. D'Aguilar ; W. Harvey, naval cadet ; first lieutenant, Fox ; 1 ser geant, 1 corporal, I.fifer, and 19 privates of the Royal larines ; all to join the Raleigh, 50; Commodore Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.8., in the River Plate; also C. H. Johnstone, midshipman, to join the Con stance, 50, in the Pacific ; W. Gilland, master's as sistant, to join the Kestrel brigantine, at Rio. We are all at Madeira, taking out 25 sheep for the Queen Dowager." An accident of a very serious nature, and which nearly cost the lives of three individuals, happened on board the Portsmouth (Admiral Superintendent's) yacht, on Friday, whilst proceeding to Spithead for the purpose of paying advance to the newly entered men and supernumeraries of the Terrible steam- Jrigate, Captain Ramsay. When the yacht was Iwithin a short distance of the Terrible, the wind blowing half a gale at the time, the mainsail suddenly " jibbed," and the main sheet struck two of the crew so violently as to knock them overboard. The poor fellows floated astern, and one of the crew of Captain Ramsay's cutter, which was towing astern (the cap tain having. taken a passage off to the Terrible in the yacht), in his endeavour to save one of them fell over board himself. Not a moment was lost in rendering assistance to the three unfortunate men. The pay barge and cutter were quickly cast adrift, and a boat very promptly put off from the Terrible. By their united efforts the poor fellows were rescued from a watery grave, after being immersed full 15 minutes. The men are all doing well. The Inconstant, 36, Captain Sheppard, at Devon port, is ordered to the Brazil station to augment the squadron under Sir Thomas Herbert. The establishment of convicts at this port is to be increased in the number of felons to the full extent the York and Stirling Castle hulks are capable of accommodating. This does not look like an intended abolition of the convict establishment at this port, as reported for some time past. The Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Lord Ame lius W. Beauclerk, arrived here to-day from Wool wich, and came into harbour. She is ordered to Malta. The Polyphemus steam-sloop, Commander M'Cle verty, left Gibraltar on the 28th ult. for Malaga. The Porcupine steam-sloop, Lieutenant Comman der Roberts, left Gibraltar on the 29th for Malta. The Sampson steam-frigate, Captain Henderson, arrived at Callao, from Valparaiso, and intermediate places, on the 23d of October, and sailed on the 9th of November for Central America. The Grampus, 50, Captain Martin, left Callao Lin the 14th of October for .‘lazatlan. The Calliope, 26, Captain Stanley, arrived at Port Nicholson, New Zealand, on the 6th of August, from Wanganui. The Dido, 20, Captain Maxwell; the Racehorse, 18, Commander Sotheby ; and the Inflexible steam sloop, Commander Hoseason, were at Auckland on the 3d of Seeember ; the latter was ordered to Bom bay t o be docked. The Vixen steam-sloop, Commander Ryder, ar arrived at Vera Cruz on tEe 30th fo November, with the British Minister, Mr. Percy Doyle, and left on the following day for Jamaica. The Imaum, 72, Commodore Lambert, and the Pantaloon, 10, Commander H. J. Douglas, were at Port Royal, Jamaica, on the Bth ult. The Alarm, 26, Captain Loch, sailed from Port Royal on the 30th of November to Bluefields with the King of the Mosquito shore. The Electra, 18, Commander Darley, arrived at Port-au-Prince, from Jamaica, on the '2sth of No vember. The Vesuvius steam sloop, Commander H. G. Austen, arrived at Trinidad from Barbadoes on the 10th ult. The Trincomalee, 25, Captain Warren, arrived at Antigua from Barbadoes on the 7th ult. The Daring, 12, Commander Peel, was at Sacrifi cios on the 12th ult. The Vindictive, 50, flag of Vice-Admiral Sir Francis Austen, K C. 8., and the Persian, 16, Com mander Coryton (on her way home), were at Ber ; muda on the 20th ult. The Herald, 26, Captain Kellet, K.H., and her tender, the Pandora, 6, Lieutenant Wood, on survey ing service, are ordered (say letters dated November 17) immediately to suspend their surveying operations by Sir George Seymour, the Commander-in-Chief in the Pacific, and proceed to Behring's Straits in search of the expedition under Sir J. Franklin, in pursuance of orders sent to the Admiral from -England. The Plover, just started, will join the Herald and Pandora in the above straits. The captain's good service pension, which reverted to the Admiralty on the promotion of Captain Dixon to the rank of Rear-Admiral, haS been conferred on C a ptain James Scott, C.B. (1828), an officer of con siderably meritorious service. The terrible steam-frigate, Captain Ramsay, sailed yesterday for Cork and Lisbon. The General Palmer freight ship arrived here this morning to embark detachments of regiments from Parkhurst barracks, Isle of Wight. Wind, N.E. by E. ; strong breezes ; weather hazy, cold, and frosty. -5 Rear-Admiral Prescott, C. 8., superintendent of . this dockyard , returned from towa on Saturday, morning and resumed his duties, re-hoisting his flag on board the Excellent, gunnery-ship, Captain Chads, C.B.

PROPOSED GREAT FREE-TRADE DEMONSTRATION IN MANCHESTER. —On Friday evening a very numerous and highly respectable meeting was held at the late League Rooms, Newell's- buildings, to take this subject into consideration, when Mr. George Wilson, the chair man, entered into an explanative of the object proposed by it, which, he said, was to celebrate the return of their distinguished friends to Parliament, including Mr. Cob den tor the West Ili ling, Mr. Bright for Manchester, Mr. Henry for South Lancashire, Mr. James Heywood fer the Northern Division, Mr. Kershaw for Stockport, Mr. Fox. Mr. George Thompson, Colonel Thompson, and ethers. He expressed his concurrence in the views of the suggesters of this demonstration, more particularly because as yet there had been no opportunity afforded of bringing representatives and free-traders together, and because a great meeting here on the eve of the ad journed session of Parliament would be most opportune, believing as he did that no progress could be made in the House of Commons unless it was felt that their friends there were backed by a great mass of public opinion. A discussion followed as to whether it should be a dinner, tea-party, or banquet, consisting merely of confections, sandwiches, fruits, and wines. The latter plan was adopted, Mr. Robinson reporting on behalf of a committee, who had considered the matter, that it would be preferable to a dinner, as occupyine less time, and enabling the business to commence at once. It was de...ermined to hold the dinner on the 27th instant, at the Free-trade Hall. and to issue two thousand tickets at 3s. 6d. each to gentlemen, and five hundred for ladies, to the galleries, at 2s. 6d. each.—Manchester Times.

The Hecla steam-vessel, Commander Charles Starrner, was reported yesterday to be at Green hithe. SOUTH AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, JAN. B.—The packet Dean, Captain Dean, arrived this morning from the River Plate, brings accounts from Monte Video to the Ilth of November inclusive. Oribe hail, on the 30th of October, re-opened upon the town with great activity the fire of his bvtteries. Entre Rios accounts state that Urquiza had marched with a large force on Corrientes. Her Majesty's packet, with the September mails hence, _bad arrived from Rio at Monte Video. Busi ness was somewhat more lively than for some time previously. Exchange on England, 41i. Freights were rather lower ; the quotations for hides and tal low were 755. to 765. per ton. The following is an extract from a commercial letter received by this arrival : " Monte Video, Nov. 9. " We have a considerable stir in this market at present, caused by the arrival of several purchasers from the interior provinces of Buenos Ayres, who are all in haste to take advantage of the time allowed them by Rosas to take goods thence ; as you are doubtless aware that Rosas had notified on the 26th ult. to the collector of the Custom-house that no vessel should b® allowed to enter, or be cleared out wards, under 120 tons burden, after the 30th inst., which is tantamount to the closing the ports, so long talked of. But it cannot be supposed that the French will allow him to have all his own way; the object being evidently to cut off the resources of the Go vernment. it is to be hoped that ere this period shall have expired such accounts will arrive from Europe as to cause an annulment of so injurious a step. " The purchasers at present in the market will take their goods by way of the Rosaria, by which means they save considerable ecpense." THE WILL OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK. This will was made only six weeks before his death, and the original was deposited on the 3d instant in the archives of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. The property of his Grace is thus be queathed :—The property be purchased at Culham and Baldon, in Oxfordshire, adjoining to the Nune ham estate, devised to him by the will of the late Earl Harcourt, he devises to such person as may suc ceed to the Nuneham estate and lands,-and to be sub ject to the devise in the will of the late Earl, but to pay out of the Culham property 401. annually for the endowment of a school at Nuneham Coartney. The Earl by his will empowered his Grace to raise 15,0001. for younger children out of the manors, lands, and estates. In pursuance thereof, his Grace appoints 10,0001. to his daughter, Anne Harcourt. To his son George, his successor to the inheritance of Nuneham and Stanton Harcourt, he leaves all his household property, stores, wines, and con sumable articles at Nuneham, and everything belonging to him on the premises (not being heirlooms), he paying 4,0004 to the residuary personal 'estate;His Grace.here observes that, "it hav ing been the particular wish of our joint benefactor, to whom we are indebted for that inheritance, that a deer park should be kept up there, I hope that my successor, from regard to his memory and mine, will continue in the park a small herd of deer, not less , than 200, there being at present about 400." The books and pictures in his mansion at Nuneham are to descend, as heirlooms, with the inheritance. , To ; the library at Nuneham he gives such of his books, maps, prints, and drawings, at Grosvenor-square and Bishopthorpe, of which there may not be duplicates at Nuneham, and the remainder he leaves to his son William. The Harcourt plate (which he describes to be very extensive) and the pictures at Nuneham are heirlooms ; he adds to these the portraits of the Marquis of Stafford and the late Duke of Sutherland, which are at Bishorthorpe. The pictures which his Grace found on entering the palace at Bishopthorpe are heirlooms of the see of York ; and his Grace makes an addition to them of the portrait of his late Majesty King George 111. (by West) and his own portrait. The pecuniary bequests are as 'follows : To his sons Charles, 7,0001. ; Egerton, 6,0001.; William and Frederick, 3,0001. each ; and Henry and Francis, 1,0001. each ; and to his daughter Anne, 7,0001. To his grandchildren, namely—Lady Norreys, the six children of his son William, the seven children of his daughter Louisa, to Jane (the daughter of his son Frederick), and to his own niece, Louisa Boothby, 1,0001. each. To others of his family . his Grace has made equivalent gifts in his lifetime. To his trustees he leaves 10,0001. for Edward, the eldest son of his son William Vernon Harcourt. To the ministers and churchwardens of the respective parishes of Bishopthorpe, Sudbury, and Nuneham, 5001. for each parish, to apply the interest annually at Christmas among the poor. To each of his servants a legacy ; and to his own personal man servant an annuity of 1001., and to his housekeeper 6001. sterling, for their long and faithful services. All legacies to be free of duty. His Grace concludes his will thus :—" Infirmities, always more or less experienced towards the close of a long-pro tracted life, have necessarily connected me more intimately with my dear son Egerton than others of my family, he having been with me on all occasions, and to whom I am indebted for, being-re lieved from various discomfittres to which irsy im portant station in the church, and the highly, responsible duties attached to it, must unavoidably have subjected .me; and he having unceasingly watched my wants, and anticipated my wishes, with an attention my heart fully appreciated, but were I to attempt to give utterance to, I should fail in so doing, I do appoint him my residuary , legatee and sole executor." Dated on the 25th of September, 1847, and signed "E. Ebor." Witnessed by W. Gray, solicitor, York, and one of his clerks. Besides the property in the province of. York, his Grace died possessed of funded and personal property within the province of Canterbury which was estimated for duty at 80,000/. This venerable prelate, in his 91st year, had held the see of York for a period of 40 years, the annual revenue of which by the last returns, is given at 10,0001.; upon his translation thereto from the see of Carlisle, in December, 1807, he was then Dr. Edward Venables Vernon ; but on his subse quently acquiring the Nuneham an d Harcourt pro perty, from the late Earl Harcourt, Viscount Nuneham (which titles are now extinct), he obtained the Royal license to use the name of Harcourt.—Ob server. SCOTCH CHURCH, CROWN-COURT.—Yesterday this place of worship was re-opened by the Rev. Dr. Cum ming, the minister of that place. The chapel was for merly calculated to accommodate nearly 1,000 persons. It is now enlarged so as to contain 400 additional sit tings. The greater part of the building is entirely new. Its interior is an oblong square, the pulpit standing in the centre of one of the longer sides. The gallery runs along the other three sides. The roof is of oak, elabo rately and beautifully executed. There was a very large congregation. The minister took his text from Isc Timothy, chap. 3, verse 15. The discourse was splo.° - priate for the occasion, and of that able and instructive character which might be expected from the celebrity of the preacher. In the course of th e service, the Rev. Gentleman stated that during the temporary occupation of Exeter Hall, by that congregation, they had contr buted 2,0001. towards the expenses of the church, about 1,000/. for the schools, 4001. for their destitute country men at home, and about 1,000/ for other purposes.

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH IN HOLLAND.—The King of the Netherlands has authorised the construction of the electric telegraph from Amsterdam to Helder, and from Rotterdam by 13rouwershoff to Flushing ; he has also acc orded to the directors of the railway from Amsterdam to Rotterdamectrio permission t o pl ace a t th e u s e of the public theelectric already established OU that line. In a recent number we gave a brief notice of a Patent Life Boat, invented by Mr. Andrew Lamb, of Southampton, and Mr. John White, of Cowes. We have since had an opportunity of examining one of these boats, and are so impressed with the import ance of the invention, that we again call the attention of our readers to it. Before entering, however, into a description of this invention, we shall glance at the qualities which should be possessed by a life boat, and then sE-e whether the ordinary life boats fulfil these conditions, The primary and indispensable characteristics of a life boat are buoyancy and stability ; with which should be conjoined strength and tolerable sailing qualities. In all life boats buoyancy is obtained by the employment of air-vessels, or substances, such as cork, which are of less specific gravity than water. In the best boats hitherto made, however, the buoy ancy is subversive of stability, from the injudicious position of the centre of buoyancy, which being beneath the centre of gravity of the boat, gives it a dangerous tendency to tilt over, bottom up wards, especially when the boat is filled with men, whereby the centre of gravity is elevated still further. Besides, the air-vessels, however strongly attached to the boat, do not contribute to the strength of the boat, while they add to its weight and unwiel diness.. In Messrs. Lamb and White's new life boat, the arrangements adopted to ensure buoyancy are, at the same time, conducive to the stability and strength of the boat ; so that with the same weight of mate rials as one of the ordinary life boats, a superior degree of safety and efficiency, with increased accom modation, are at once attained. The air vessels in the new life boat form a trunk round the inside of the boat, rising as high as the gunwale, but only extend ing down on each side as far as the bilge, whereby the eentre of buoyancy is kept so high, that it is im possible to capsize or swamp the boat. The upper part of the air trunk is rounded off inside, to permit the boat to be partially emptied of water as she rolls, and to facilitate the use of the oars; and the trunk is divided by partitions into several water. tight com partments, so that no material injury could accrue from one of them being accidentally stove At either end of the boat, which may be used indifferently as stem or stern, a water-tight compartment is parti tioned off, in which provisions, compasses, signal lights, and other necessaries may be constantly kept, to obviate the risk of their omission or neglect in the confusion arising from any sudien emergency. One of these new life boats was recently tested at I Southampton, before several officers of her Majesty's Navy, and of the East India Company's Service, and gave most satisfactory results. Its dimensions were 30 feet long, 9 feet broad, and 3 feet deep ; it was built of mahogany, and weighed between 17 and 18 cwt., which does not exceed the weight of an ordinary ship's boat of similar dimensions. It was found to possess good sailing qualities, being remarkably stiff under canvass, quick in stays, and easily worked. With 134 men on board, the gunwale was 13 to 14 inches above water; when filled with water, it carried 23 men without any increase of immersion, and was found to possess greater stiffness than when altogether empty. To test its stability, 40 men standing on the gunwale, endeavoured to capsize it, when filled with water, but only succeeded in immersing the gunwale six inches under the water; and from the rounded form of the gunwale inside, the rocking motion cum municated to the boat cleared it of water at every roll. From the various trials that have been made, it has been proved that a life boat of this description, equipped for any emergency, could yet be used for the ordinary purposes of a ship's boat without re quiring alteration; it could be launched when under weigh, or in a heavy sea, even with men on board, without the risk of swamping or capsizing—which in deed, under the most adverse circumstances, would be all but impossible. In the plate which accompanies the present number We give drawings of this invention, which are too explicit to require any lengthened explanation. The merits of this life boat are meeting with a rapid re cognition ; the Lords of the Admiralty have already agreed to its substitution for paddle-box boats in several steamers now in progress ; and we have no doubt that it will be extensively adopted in the royal navy, and in transport and emigrant vessels. In the mercantile marine it is beginning to be introduced, and we have seen advertisements of the sailing of passenger ships, in which the possession of the new life boat was urged as a reason for preference. The validity of this plea, no humane and intelligent per son, cognisant of the risks to which sailing vessels are exposed, will venture to impugn ; and we are con vinced that so soon as the public are fully instructed in the advantages of such a contrivance, they will render its adoption imperative upon passenger ships, by withholding their patronage from all recusants ; unless, indeed, they.. are anticipated by a Government edict compelling every vessel to be so provided.— The Artizan. STEALING A FLOCK OF SHEEP.--A• middle-aged man, having the appearance of a small farmer, named William Lungly, was indicted at the Essex Quarter Sessions, on the 7th inst , for stealing twenty-eight sheep, the flock of Mr. Moss, of Writtle. On the 7th of December the sheep were left in a meadow on the pro secutor's farm, and the next morning they ,were all missing. The same day the prisoner drove the flock to Romford market, which is about eighteen miles distant, and placed them in the hands of Mr. Benson, one of the public salesmen, to dispose of. The sheep having a brand upon them which did not correspond with the name the prisoner gave, the suspicions of the sales man were excited, and he questioned the prisoner re specting them, when he said he had bought them at the sheep fair tight months before. Mr. Katen, a relative of the prosecutor, on his way to the market, had seen the sheep resting at a public house, and knowing them to be Mr. Moss's he con cluded that gentleman was sending them for sale ; and going up to the pens in the market in which they were exposed he got into conversation with Mr. Benson re• specting them, when he found the prisoner was offering them as his own. They had a private mark on them by which Mr. Katen was enabled to identify them as those of his relative. The prisoner, who was near, was then further questioned respecting them, when he still per sisted that they were his own ; but soon after he walked away and endeavoured to escape, on which- a policeman was called, and he was captured. A message was then sent for Mr. Moss, who had been searching for his sheep in the neighbourhood, thinking they had strayed, and ton his arrival he identified them as his property. The • prisoner now offered nothing in his defence, and he was ; found guilty on which the chairman said he 'had sel dom heard of such an open and wholesale robbery ; he could not perceive any mitigating circumstances in the case, and he sentenced him to be transported for fifteen years.

Rifles), 1 Rifle Brigade, 1 Royal Malta Fencible Regi ment, 1 Royal Canadian Rifles, 1 St. Helena Regiment, 3 West India Regiments, and 1 Royal Foot Artillery; Engineers, and Sappers and Miners. The effective mili tary force is 140,000 men, including the Royal Artillery; besides which there are 136 regiments of Militia (the staff of which is only kept up in time of peaCe) in the different counties of England, Wales, Scotland, and Ire land, the embodied Chelsea Out-Pensioners, and Yeo manry Cavalry. The Royal Navy—The naval force of Great Britain consists of 680 ships of war, carrying from 10 to 120 guns each of different calibre, either in commission, in ordinary, or building. Of these 150 are armed steamers, built on the most approved principles for active sea service, of from 100 to 850 horse power each. This immense fleet employs in time of peace 40,000 able-bodied seamen, 2,000 stout lads, and 14,000 Royal Marines, divided as follows in 100 companies:— Chatham, Ist Division, 23 companies; Portsmouth, 2d Division, 28 companies; Plymouth, 3d Division, 24 com panies; Woolwich, 4th Division, _l9 companies— Total, 100; and 10 companies Royal Marine Artillery, head quarters Portsmouth. Besides the above are the en rolled Dockyard Battalions of Deptford, Woolwich, Chatham and Sheerness, Portsmouth, Devonport and , Plymouth, and Pembroke, amounting from 25,000 to 30,000 men, all of whom are instructed in gunnery and coast defence in case of any sudden outbreak with a foreign Power. We hear that Marshal General Soult, Duke de Dalmatie, has been for some days confined to his room by the prevailing influenza. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—About seven o'clock on the morning of yesterday week, a painful accident occurred_ to a young man who was employed at the No . 1 tunnel, called Kitson Wood Tunnel, on the Burnley branch of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, bars odmorden. It appears that the young man was empyas a driver of a horse which conveyed the stones in waggons.from the miners in the tunnel to the "tip" (a distance of at least 400 yards), and on returning at a good speed, he accidentally tumbled :and fell upon the rails, and the wheels of one of the waggons ran over both his legs below the knee. lie was conveyed to his lodging and surgical assistance immediately applied.

The poor of Alexandria have lost a great friend in Moharrem Bey, as none applied to bim for charity in vain, and to such rkpi?iot did he carry his disposition to do good that the -Vice roy deemed it necessary to put a restraint on. 'his expenditure. Moharrem Bey had fitted out. ono' of his largest palaces in the town as a caravansary for .the reception of pilgrims on their may to Mecca, who always found relief and shelter there free of cost. In his youth Moharrem Bey committed great 4,x --eesses, and-during his latter years he suffered much from paralysis. He was a countryman of the,_Vice roy, both bring born in Routnelia, and when Mehemet Ali became ruler of Egypt ,he , invited his friend to join him, gave him in marriage one of his daughters, who died about fifteen years ago, and made him Governor of Alexandria, which post he retained until 'his death. Artin Bey, who has been Minister of Foreign Affairs and Commerce in Egypt since the death of Boghos Bey, in 1844, has just received authority from Mehemet Ali to act entirely according to his own judgment, and without any reference to ttis Highness, in all matters relating to his administra tion, especially with regard to the disposal, of Go vernment produce. This is a mark of great favour and confidence on the part of the Viceroy, as Boghos Bey had this uncontrolled power only during the ' two last years of his life. The quantity of produce coming in to the Government yearly is very small at present, compared to what it was five years ago, as at that time the proprietors of land were obliged.to sell their crops to the Pacha, but since free trade has been introduced the farmers can sell wherever and to whomsoever they please ; moreover, Mehemet Ali has distributed amongst his several sons and favourites a great part of the land which was cultivated in'his name. _ _ _ Mehemet Ali is still at Cairo, and such is the favour the French Consul, M. Al Barrot, has gained with his Highness, that the Viceroy seldom goes , out tor a drive in his carriage without being accompanied by him or by Madame Barrot. The Ariel steamer, with the London mail of the 7th, due here on the 19th, arrived only this morning, owing to bad weather. She returns this afternoon to Malta, with only six passengers from Bombay—viz., Lieutenant. Colonel Hartley, her Majesty's Bth Foot; Lieutenant , Colonel Forbes, 78th Highlanders ; Dr. J. Y. Smith, Bombay Army ; Mr. Price, Mr. M. G. Manse], Mrs.Turquand and child. The steamer that was conveying these persons down the Nile ran with great force on to a sand-bank about 40 miles below Cairo. and was got off only after 36 hours' strenuous exer tions. It was fortunate for these travellers that the steamer from England was behind her time, otherwise they would have lost their passage by her. The Bombay mail of the Ist of December has been lying here since the 19th. A. beautiful Clyde steamer intended for the Nile, _ the Marchioness of Breadalbane, arrived here yes terday from Malta and Candia, having been purchased by the- Peninsular and Oriental Company for Me hemet Ali. Trade continues very dull. Exchange on London has receded to 97A- piastres per pound sterling, owing to the scarcity of - money.

ABD -E -K ADE R. The Moniteur Algerien, of the 29th ult., publishes a long account of the surrender of Abel-Kader, from which we extract the following :—" At six in the evening the Emir arrived with Generals Latno riciere and Cavaignac and Lieutecant-Colonel de Beaufort, and was introduced to the Duke d'Aumale. Conforming himself to his present circumstances, he humbly put off his sandals at the threshold, and stood till the Prince made a sign to him to be seated. After a moment's silence he delivered the following words, which were interpreted by M. Rousseau, the principal interpreter I would have done sooner what I have now done, but I have waited for the hour appointed by God. The General has given me a promise upon which I have relied. I have no fear of its being vio lated by the son of so great a king as the King of the French. I ask his anian for my family and fur myself.' His Royal Highness in a few simple words, confirmed the promise of his lieutenant, and with dignity took leave of Abd-el-Kader ' towards whom henceforth must be suppressed all the passions of the early days of the late long struggle. Tents were raised within the enclosure of the Hospital of Nemours for Abd-O-Kader and his family, into which he and they were conducted. In the morning there was a last ceremony, which must have severely wounded his pride. On the return of his Royal highness from reviewing the cavalry, which was about to return to the camp, the ex-Sultan came forth on horseback, surrounded by his principal chiefs, and alighting at a few steps from the Prince, said to him, I offer you this horse, the last I have ridden, as a testimon of my gratitude, ard I hope it will bring you good fortune.' The Prince replied, I accept it as a homage rendered to France, whose protection will henceforward be your shield, and as a sign of oblivion of the past.' The Emir then saluted the Prince with great dignity, and returned on foot to his tent." LOLA MANTES AGAIN !—A letter from Munich, in the Patrie, but which appears to us very exaggerated, says—" It appears that Lola Montes is increasing in favour at the Court of Bavaria. The Queen has con ferred on her the order of St. Theresa, calls her " My dear Countess,' and admits her into her intimacy. The ladies of the Court, of course, feel it their duty to caress the favourite, and in fact she has all the world at her feet. The style of luxury in which she lives passes all bounds. nothing equal to it having ever been seen at Munich, even at the royal palaces. The whole of her sleeping-chamber, even the walls and ceiling, is hung with guipure lined with rose•colound satin. The man telpiece is of Sevres porcelain, painted by the first artists. The furniture is of the time of Louis XV., en riched with gold and silver. A description of her dining -room would exceed those in the Arabian Nights' Entertainments,' and we .shall, content ourselves with stating that the service is of massive gold,' bearing the arms and coronet of the Countess. To this is joined a revenue of 150,000 f., which is attached to her title, and of whiCh nothing can deprive her." • JENNY LIND.—We learn from Stockholm, that Mdlle.

LAUNCH OF A STEAMSHIP AT BIRKENHEAD.--- On Saturday forenoon, a little before high tide time (half-past eleven o'clock); a splendid new iron steamer, the Cambria, was launched from the building-yard of Mr. John Laird, of Birkenhead. The Cambria has been built for Government, and is intended for the pas sage between Dublin and Holyhead. She is a sister vessel to the St. Columba, launched from the same yard a few months ago. The Cambria is of 700 tons builders' measurement, 193 feet in length, 27 feet beam, with a depth of hold nearly 15 feet. Her engines, which are to be 370 horse-power, are to be fitted up Messrs.
