It is now our firm belief that the Whig-Radical Repealers have expended the whole of their amMuni tion, and that if they continue their attacks upon Mi nisters any longer, it will be a sham battle affair with blank cartridge, to make a noise, and save their credit with the populaCe. The grounds of their assaults upon his Majesty's Ministers have ridiculously failed this devoted party of the Whigs. Their first hie. no tion, after the breaking up of the late Ministry, was that the Duke of Wellington's ad interim acceptance of office was a farce, which wanted nothing but Sir Robert Peel's arrival for the scene to be again shifted, and the suspend e d ac t ors to resume their former cha racters. But Sir Robert Peel arrived, and did actually undertake the management, and bring forward a fresh company, and is about to introduce an improved edi tion of the favourite drama of reform. It was then said that he would not dare to dissolve the former Par liament, or that if he did, the next House of Commons would be still more hostile to him. He did how ever dissolve the then existing Parliament, and the immediate consequence was an increase in that party which more cordially agreed with him in poli• tics—of at least 130 votes. After the meeting of the new parliament, the threats were loud, that the Oppo sition would carry a strong vote against Ministers, of want of confidence, or some especial and formidable censure, What followed ? The motley Opposition could not agree upon any one public principle or opinion as the groundwork of decided assault upon Ministers, or in anticipation of smell future measures on the part of those n would serve for a reasonable recommendation to the Crown to dismiss them.' So they vented their spleen by the fejeeth4 - 1 of an P4PIPpkiTY Spoa•tor, Wi fled nothing beyond the mere eNpression of party rage ; and they followed it up by an amendment to an address, which amounted to a simple declaration that they (the Opposition) would have preferr e d a H ouse of Commons, in whi c they theinselves were compara tively strong, to one in which their numbers were con siderably weakened. Such was the real meaning of that clause of the amendment which stigmatized the late 'dissolution ; it was a clause in which the nation felt and expressed no sympathy—the sense of its value was confined to this coteries of the enfeebled Whigs, When, therefore, nothing could be hoped from a pre mature condemnation of the policy of Ministers, without a Vartielo pr cvidcllee or reason Whereon_ to ground it, • the next mameuvre of the Opposition was to prevail upon the Ministers to lay (themselves) the, foundation of some such preliminary censure, by fhh, ing from them an acknowledgment in ausvier to interrogatories proposed to entrap them, that their measures would not be conformable to those which the majority of the House of Commons or the bulk of the nation called for. Lord J. Russell accordingly gave notice, that be would put his Majesty's Ministers t o " the question ;fl and w h a t did the Noble Lord get by it ? He heard that Ministers would not blink the Reform of the Irish Church, But that they had a Tithe Bill ready for Parliament, and, more over, that with regard to Church temporalities, they were ready to discuss and consider favour ably whatever measures might be recommended upon the report of the Church Commission, saving only the single principle, that ecclesiasti cal property should in no ease be diverted to othe r than ecclesiasti ca l p urposes . I t is nothing to say that such a principle may not have met the concurrence of a former Parliament. We allow that we do not our selves concur with it. We are anxious that any sur plus which might be discovered, over and above- what was necessary to the ordained service •of the church, and to the maintenance of ministers already in posses sion of their incomes, should go to purposes of reli gious education in the doctrines and principles of the Church of England, as the best and surest moans of ex tending the basis of the Protestant establishment, and the community which recognized its tenets. But the admission of a right of inquiry and legislation on sub jects which were formerly withdrawn from their pale, ought to be enough to satisfy the people that the ancient strongholds of Toryism have been quietly evacuated, and that with a reformed Parliament there is no sacred or prohibited ground ; but ever~ thing must and will be brought within the jurisdiction of independent reason ing, and left to be determined by the preponderancy of mere opinion. We know not what more could be de sired. Then, with regard to Corporation reforms. A question was asked by the Noble leader of the Oppo sition, from the reply to which vast benefits were no doubt expected. The Noble Lord was anxious to ascertain what the Government would do upon that important branch of our institutions. He looked, of course, for an evasive answer s --for one which might serve as a peg for a weight of i n d us t r i ous o bl oquy. His Lordship, however, must have been cruelly mor tified by the answer. Sir Robert Peel declared that his eagerness for Corporation reform was not damped by the slightest interest in the perpetuation of abuses, and that his view of the difficulty inhe rent -in the accomplishment of any plan for their removal was not greater than that which was borne on the face of .the report which had been pre sented by the Commissioners —Mr. Abercrombv, the Speaker, • being one of those Commissioners—wberein they touched upon certain inducements to distrust of the proposed remedies, and to hesitation in adopting. them, beyond which Sir Robert P ee l , i n his remarks upon th e subject, showed no disposition to proceed. The two grand cheraux de battaille, therefore, which had been so long pampered and so 'studiously trained by the Whig-Radical faction, for the discomfiture of the Administration, Church Reform, and Corporate Reform,—we mean as instruments for the overthrow of the new Ministry,—have broken down under their riders at the first onset, and become totally unservice able. And so with all the rest. The truth is, that Lord Howick and Sir E. Wilmot have seen the whole game in its true colours. The continuance of the present Ministry is inevitable, because the construc tion of any other would be impracticable, which was not subversive of the monarchy ;. nor is this, we firmly believe in our hearts, to be regretted. We do most conscientiously believe that a larger amount of solid and valuable reform of abuses and redress of griev ances is contemplated and will be completed by Sir Robt. Peel and his colleagues, than could ever be exe cuted by Lord john Russell and his colleagues as it would be possible for him to associate with himself. We , are sure the country sees this vital truth. It is obvious that capital and the public securities are alive to it. The component parts of the Conservative Mi nistry are moved by one spring and, directed to a single object. The component parts of the Opposition are at irreconcileable variance with each other. They clog each other's movements—they menace each other's ex istence. They are actuated by the most deadly in ternal strife. A Government framed out of them would not proceed—it would break itself to pieces, but the tranquillity of ..the country and the consti tutional monarchy itself would perish in the fatal con cussion.— Times. The real business of Parliament we may now con sider as•actually begun. The vote of supply, which was carried without opposition on Monday night, shows how grievously the Whig-Radical Press miscal • ciliated the strength of faction in Parliament, when it predicted a stoppage of the supplies as a final means, if other expedients were not successful, to drive Mi nisters from office, and, of course, to prevent them from ever bein g able to submit th e i r i n t en d e d measures of reform t o the Legislature. When we found that the Oppositi on did not venture to move such an amendment to the Address as they had threatened ; namely, an amendment declaring directly to the Throne that the House of Commons had no confidence in his Majesty's Ministers, we stated that the milk-and water amendment substituted for it was a confession of weakness and a virtual defeat. With the inclination to turn out Ministers, right or wrong, which the leaders of the Opposition evinced, we were quite certain that the very moderate course which they adopted was not the result of voluntary forbearance, but the consequence of having positively ascer tained that if the stronger amendment were moved they would have been signally defeated. Subsequently Mr. flume confirmed this view of the matter, when, upon the bringing up of the report, he read the amendment which he had wished to have moved, and which was one directly expressive of the want of confidence in the King's Ministers. Now we say - twat if that amendment hal been movol and car ried, the ,Ministers might fave reason to conclude that it would be impossible for then to conduct the business of the nation satisfactorily, perhaps, at all, in the present Parliament. Then the question might arise whether, in this extreme case, an extreme remedy was not necessary, and whether the Opposition had not forced the Government on another appeal to the people, in order to ascertain whether the constituents agreed with their representatives iu }pre th.ging and solider: m i no. a Ministers b e f ore t h ey had a " fair *trial," - upon the only legitiinate evidence of . their intentions-- the production , sf their m-asures. We are 'd f g a , or the int erests o f t hi s country, which have been too long sufferin g from political a g itation, that these extreme proceedings have been avoided. The struggle of parties f or p ower i s not viewed with any particular fa vour by the co un t ry , w hil e the proper business of the i nation s thereby pushed aside and neglected, as if it were mere matter of mere secondary consideration. Mr. Hume, who lamented on Friday night that there were differences of opinion among the Members of the OjWosition, which prevented a direct and explicit amendment being moved of want of confidence in his Majesty's Ministers, was very anxious to impress upon the mind Of Sir Robert Peel, on Monday night, that the milk-and-water Amendment, which was carried by a majority of seven, and whieh could not have been carried at all bad it been stronger, was equivalent to a vote of want of ennfilonce, upon which Ministers ought to have resigned. Sir Robert Peel's intellect was, however, too obtuse to understand the luminous reasoning by which ,Mr. Hume supported the para. doxical proposition, that th© :Amendment which the Opposition 'had the courage to move and the:good fostWW toearry, bec ause it was, , as the Globe ex pressed -it, very : " inotTensiye," - was, in. reality, the same as.the Amendment which they did n o t d are to move, bemuse it was - b o th violent r and offensive. It was stated at the same time by the lion. Member for Middlesex, whose boldness of assertion equals his ori einalify of reasoninc , ) that th ree out o f f our of his ow n ri constituents were, opposed to the present Government. This statement Mr. Hume is not ashamed to make, in the teeth of the damnatory fact, that it was with the greatest difficulty, and by an agony of exertion, that •he got into Parliament at the last election by a very small majority -_a majority that formed,a sail contrast with that which had carried him into the HQrtSa e l ri former occasions. At the last election his sentiments were as ‘iolent and factious as at present. If the expression of such sentiments were acceptable to three out of four of his constituents, why did not his place upon the poll testify to his popularity in that proportion ? Why did his constituents all but reject him, and that, too, for a candidate unknown to poli tical fame, . and whose chief recommendation to the constituency was, that he wished the Ministers to have a " fair trial," and that, though prepared to correct the abuses of our national institutions, he was not pre pared to destroy them. Let us look now to the con duct of another Radical Member of the House—ols.e of the supporters of Mr. Abercromhy and bt the amendment,- but one who never stated that h e would vote " black was white" to keep the Wbe' ige in power —or again stated that the " coilduct of'the Whigs was so infamous, that he should not wonder soon to see Sir Robert Pool carried into office triumph antly upon' the shoulders of the people" —one who never advised the people of Canada to throw off the baleful domination of the mother county. We allude to Major Beauclerk, That Hon. Member was returned for East Surrey when the Whig candidate was rejected, and the Conservative by a large majority at the head of the poll. Did that gentleman follow the course chalked out by Mr. Hume for the Oppo sition, or adopt the sentiments which he uttered on Monday evening ? Far from it. He said he " would not adopt any c ourse that might produ ce the effect of forcing - Ministe rs out of office, before they obtained a fair opportunity of developing their line of action. He thought the country did not care for Whig or Tory -that people thought it little or no matter what was the name of the Administration, but looked lather to the measures that might be adopted." Such sentiments are fair and rational enough. We believe the people in general care as little as we ourselves do for the nicknames and selfish struggles of party ; we believe the people—the whole reasonable and reflecting part of- th e country—all wh o are not t h e mere knaves or dupes of faction—are anxious to see the Ministers "go to work"—are anxious to have an opportunity of trying them by their measures, and therefore view with any thing but favour the proceed ings of those who impede public business in order to serve:the objects of their own party ambition. If the Ministers, having had a fair opportunity, of laying their measures before Parliament, do not realise, the pro mises which they have made to the country, let the country resent it. according to the constitutional means which it has in its hands. Measures of sound and Salutary iMprovement are promised —measures cor rective of the abuses of our institutions, without endan gering their security. If Ministers propose and carry . such measures the people will be the gainers. If they forfeit their pledges the Ministers 'will be the losers, for then they will justly forfeit the public confidence ; and, unless the Reform Act be a mere fraud and impo sition, they must, along with that loss of confidence, • lose the power of carrying on the Government. It is for the sake of the country itself that we have asked a fair trial for Ministers, as, whatever patty may be in or out of office, our object is to obtain good government for the people.--Morning Herald. The Standard of last night says—" Again, we con tradict in the most unqualified terms the rumour that the Duke of 'Wellington is - about to retire from the Administration. It is known, indeed, that his Grace is a reluctant Minister e but the same sense of duty which brought the illustrious Duke into the service of his Sovereign and country will retain him in it while he can he useful---that is, until a better Minister of Foreign Affairs can bo lound—a sufficiently long en gagement to ens ure hi s G race ' s cont i nuance in office for many, we hope very many, future years. We stand by what we have already published, and stake our character for authentic, if not early, information upon. the result. The Duke is not so ambitious of office, to do . him justice—and it is our invariable principle to do our opponents justice, in what ever way it may be merited—as some (21 colleagues, the mice of the party, who are in trigumng to turn him out—and we agree with our contemporary, that he will retain office only while he can be useful—but that period is ,but a brief one at most, and, ..unqucstionably, instead of years, does not extend to months. The present Cabinet has been beaten three times—a fourth time it would have been beaten, had it not sUrrendered at discretion—and such is now, notwithstanding the vain boastings of the Tories, the melancholy and hopeless position of Sir R. Peel, that between the possession of power, and resignation, he has only one plea to plead—the adhe sion of the Stanley party, in lieu of the Duke of Wel lington and the high Churchmen. That adhesion he has had virtually. He has had the votes of the party, and all its influence to boot—and yet he has been beaten three times—and actually though not nominally a fourth. In what way then will his strength in the House of Com mons be increased? He has not been able to muster a majority, • even on what his • party has termed personal questions ; and what hope is there, in consequence, that he will command the voice of the House of Com mons in favour of practical measures, less liberal in every respect than those which the late Administration had projected, and was determined to carry into effect ? The expectation is utterly hopeless—and, even if it were to be realized, the disgust of all sound-minded, moral, and honest, men, would soon put an end to it. Take it how he may—let him go on with his present men—let him get rid of the Wellington and high church clique, and get Stanley and the waverets to back him—and yet his position shall not be altered for the better. There is still not only a majority against him, but a feeling throughout the whole country of the immoral concessions which he would be obliged to make, and of the still more immoral compact by which he would attempt to remain in office, which would thunder in his ears; that " time was for him" to have done what he profesSes to do—but that that "time" is past and gone.—Morning Advertiser. The Tory papers affirm, confidently, that there is no truth in the rumour that the Duke of Wellington is about to retire from the Administration. The lan- DEPARTURES.

PARIS, MACH I.—The accounts from Madrid of the 22d of February,.state that the new Ministers hail entered on the i functions, except Valdez. The appointment of Messre. De hesse and Medrano, did not seem to add much to the strength and popularity of the Ministry, which is threatened, besides, with a speedy dissolution by the ill health of the President of the Council. The Cortes are proceeding with activity in their concluding labours. In the Sittings nfthe 19th and 206, the Procuradorea adopted the first 15 articles of the Project of Law on National Property. The Eco del Comercio says, that orders have been given to remove to the Pearl frigate, which is at Corunna, the twenty seven officers taken on board the Isabella Anee, when they came from England to join the rebels, This journal believes, not without some probability, that it is intended to facilitate their escape, and it invites the authoritities of Galicia to be watchful. The journals speak of an engagement, in which Colonel Aspirez has defeated the Cure Merino, who escaped with 30 or 40 horse. The accounts from Bayonne of the 25th of February, bring no important news from the frontier. The troops of the line remaining- in garrison at Barcelona and Figueiras, have gone to Mataro, whence the Captain-General has sent them to the mountains, as well as several detachments of militia. lie himself set out on the 16th in the same direction. It seems that the insurrection gains strength about Berga and Sol sena. Major General Bassa had his head-quarters at Cordova. The levy of the quintas (that is, the periodical recruiting of the army) proceeds rapidly, and is nearly completed in the kingdom of Valencia. An expedition is made in Catalonia, where the recruiting is effected by the payment of a bounty and by voluntary enlistment. • A letter from Perigeux, in which town there are many Spanish fugitives, says :—" We can state, as certain, that the Government has just taken measures for - granting relief in money and monthly support to the Spaniards who take refuge in France in consequence of the civil war which desolates the frontiers."

BOURSE, MONDAY, MARCH 2, 3 O'CLOCK.—This being set tling day, the market has been very boisterous, inclining con stantly to a further rise. The measure adopted by the Caisse de Consignation is of high importance; they will purchase about the value of 12,000 f. 3 per Cents., or other French stock to that value. It is highly reprobated by every body as an illegal measure, as the Caisse de Consignation is merely a depot which ought never to be laid open to any chance of a rise or a fall ; the failure of a great jobber, although not of a • first-rate of solvability, has also contributed to the rise. Yesterday the 3 per Cents. were already done at 79f. 80c., making 801. lOc. for the end of March. This morning the rise continued ; they have been done, at 80f. 35c., and are now at that price. A representation in form of a petition is talked of, to represent to the Chamber all the illegal and quiet mea sures which are taken to encourage the jobbers for the rise, :nd which occasion great losses, confusion, and ruin to thou sands. The Ministers will be impe ac h e d i n thi s . If it w ill meet with many 2iematures is still a matter of doubt.

BRUSSELS, MARco I.—lt is affirmed to be finally decided that there shall be only one class of the Iron Cross. Four Sections have examined the law on Public Instruction ; the Ist and 2d Sections have not yet completed their investi gations. Five Reporters have already been named. It is generally reported that M. Brabant will lay the Report before the Chamber. The labours of the central Section will be long, and it is therefore supposed that only the Articles rela tive to the Universities and the examining Committee can be discussed during the present Session. The Academical Se nate of the University of Louvain has just sent to the Cham bers a memorial, praying for the preservation of that ancient institution. It has placed at the head of the memorial the Address presented to the King on the 16th of August, 1834, on the part of the University. It has been several times stated in the Chambers, that young men married women very much advanced in life, for the sole purpose of being excused from serving in the Militia, but it seems that the instances of exemption are very few. Thus the statistical tables of the Classes of 1832, 1833, and 1834, prove that out of 36,926 young men composing the Class of 1832, only 19 were ex empted as being married ; that of 39,283 of the Class of 1833, 26 were exempted for the same reason ; and of the 39,000 of the Class of 1834, only 14, who had married before the' call= ing out of that Class, were exempted. The steam vessel built at Brussels by M. Cochaux, was tried on Thursday with the greatest success at Boom, in pre sence of a deputation, consisting of the principal members of the municipality. In twenty minutes two boats, each of fifty tons, were filled with earth or mud taken from the bottom of the water. This invention will be of the greatest service to navigators, by clearing the ports and canals which are choaked up, and by removing the sand banks which form bars at the mouths of most rivers, and render the entrance so dangerous. By the aid of this powerful machine, a port may be cleared to the depth of twenty-five or thirty feet, and rendered capa ble of receiving the largest merchantmen and men of war. The English papers of the 27th have not arrived.—Brus sea Papers, March 2. GERMAN PAPERS. ROME, FEB. 17.—The important question in our Adminis tration is the Budget for the current year, which will be much more advantageous than that of last year. Though nothing certain is known, we learn, however, that almost all the ex penses, including last year's deficit of 700,000 scudi are pro. vided for. The Treasury is full, and we hear no more of the want of funds, which was formerly so frequent. All this is owing to the efforts of Mensig Tosti, the Treasurer, who ma nifests the greatest energy, and is not deterred from introduc ing improvements by the clamours raised against him. The great majority of the people do him justice, as they see that he has introduced order in the chaos of our finances, and that the country is already reaping the greatest benefit from it. Public credit is confirmed ; we hear no more of loans ; and a few years' tranquillity will enable us to pay part of our debt, and the Roman State, with its great internal resources, must again become one of the most prosperous countries in Europe. The Pope, as we hear, has testified to the Treasurer his entire sa tisfaction with his Administration, and encouraged him to pro ceed in his arrangements. Mr. Ellice has arrived here from Naples, to proceed with all speed to London, to take hi s seat in Parliament. The Marquis of Anglesea will also leave us ; he is not, however, going to Eneland to take office, as has been affirmed, but intends to consult German physicians respecting his health. ViENNA, FELL 21,—Five per Cent. Metalliques 102 ; Four per Cent., 961 ; Bank Sh ares, I,33l,—Aligemeine Zeitunq, Feb. 26. guare held by Lord Lyndhurst with respect to 0p4,1 corporation s cannot easily be reconciled with that held by Sir Robert Peel ; and the uninitiated may well be pardoned for supposing that so wary a personage as the Chancellor would not contradict the Premier without a- cause. However, sufficient allowance is not, perhaps, made for the difficult position of men who have no other rule to guide them in the opinions they express than convenience. • No one supposes that, be- - cause they have chosen to profess the opinions they incessantly assailed down to the 15th November last, they are sincere converts to their new doctrines. As far as we can understand the Times, the extent of them pressure of a Reformed Parliament is to be the mea sure of the extent of their liberality. But it is obvious that as different individuals may estimate differently the extent of the pressure, without a coreful rehearsal, such, incongruities as the one alluded to will occasion ally occur. So, then, Ministers are agreed, at least. as to the expediency of retaining place as ,long as they can. We trust the House of Commons, which has already condemned them, and evidently reposes no faith in their declarations, will tar e special care to part with as littl e p ower as possik i ,e. Th ere are two ways of proceeding—either to to pass th e M ut i ny B:,Y1, stop the S u ppli es , an d refuse or to vote only so much as will serve to defray einTent expenses, and pass the :Ninthly Bill for a mo7,th or so. The test of the sincerity of Ministerv:rill he their carrying liberal measures through the I-!;,use. of Lords. Sir Robert Peel tells us that he Can move the Lords as he pleases. The people are somewhat sceptical on this point. They suspect that when the money is voted and the Muti Bill assed, the L or d s w ill come into play, not as Reformerps, but in their old character, and they are curious to see in what manner Sir Robert will proceed to make them go through a course of Reform evolitiions. The Lords, at the command of the Duke of Wel lington, did, in 1829, display a great facility in recantation. But till the proof has been afforded of their readiness to repeat the precedent of 1829, the House of Common s cannot be too much on their guard. Would it not be advisable to insist on Minis ters introducing some of their liberal measures in the House of Lords, that the country may not entertain too long an impression injurious to their- Lordships ? How long Ministers may be Reformers, will depend on circumstances. When a cheat finds that he is known, he will sometimes make a merit of frankness. " I own I would deceive you if I could, but here there can be no trick judge for vourrelf--there is no room for im position here." Ministers exclaim in like manner, " Never mind what we may have said before 7 —here are our measures —you can judge yourselves whether they are good or not." The House of Commons will, how ever, do well to secure themselves by what is called in homely language " grip for grip. Morning Chronicle. THE HURRICANE. I During the whole of Monday night anti yesterday it blew a tremendous hurricane, the effects of which have been severely felt on the river Thames, though fortunately we have not yet heard of the loss of a single life... During the night three tiers of shipping off Rotherhithe Platform broke loose from their moorings by the violence of the gale, and' drifted down the river, to the no small consternation of the • sailors and lightermen. The confusion for some time was dreadful, and the worst consequences were dreaded by the crews. The tiers were driven athwart the shipping off Prince's-stairs, and owing to the activity. of the sailors the apprehended mischief was in some measure prevented. Several brigs, however, were more or less damaged ; two lost their bowsprits, and another had her topgallant -mast carried away. The loss of other spars was considerable. Two corn-barges, taking in grain from eno of the ships, were driven on shore right opposite King-stairs, Ro. therhithe, an d as t h ey were in a sinking state it was found ne cessary to get the corn out before high water. At the Tower and Irongate-stairs a great number of watermen's boats and wherrics have been stove-in and stink by the barges whi c h go t adrift run n i ng - among them, and many of the poor fellows have been ruined. Nearly all the - tiers in the Upper and Lower got adrift. During the night, some were entangled with - each other in the middle of the stream, and blocked up the channel for some time, and a few got ashore, with considerable injury to their Lottoms in several instances. Yesterday morning a lug, filled with goods, was driven with great violence against one of the arches of London-bridge, and received so much da mage that she went down off Bermondsey. During the whole of yesterday the river was one scene of confusion, and the boats and lighters became almost unmanageable in the stream, and • were every minute running foul of each other. The Thames police rendered very great assistance, and were the means of preventing many serious accidents. The river was like a sea, and the ebb tide ran so strong that many scullermen, in at tempting to make one plying-place, were compelled to desist, and were driven by the gale to another. Some alarm was felt respecting the steamers; a few were two or three hours later than usual, but all have arrived in safety. Among others, the large , Scotch steam-ship Ro/a/ William, from Edi n b urg h, with go o d s an d passengers, came up the river yesterday after noon, and was safely moored at three o'clock at St. Katha rine's-wharf. She encountered very rough weather on her passage, which she rode, or rather steamed, out in safety. The next arrivals from the coast are expected to be very disastrous. A number of shins, on their way to London, have been obliged to put in at Dovor, Ramsgate, Margate, and other places. THE TELEGRAPHIC LIGHT. On Saturday evening Mr. Coad exhibited his telegraphic light on the river, and, we are happy to say, with the most perfect success. The Egremont passage-boat sailed from the Pierhead at seven o'clock with a portable gasometer on board, and such was the „effulgence of the light produced. objects on either side of the river were distinctly visible when the boat was about mid way. While on this, as well as on the Cheshire side of the Mersey, to whatever point the light was directed by following its rays the persons who were walking could be seen. If the light, which on this occasion consisted of six jets or burners, had been exhibited on an eminence it would no doubt have been seen at a great distance ; indeed its applicability to the purposes of a night telegraph is, we believe, now fully established. In. saying this we are only repeating the, opinions of Mr. Vig. noles, Mr. Stephenson, and a great number of other profes sional and scientific gentlemen who have examined, made themselves masters of the subject, and speak in high terms of the invention. These testimonials, however well deserved or flattering, are not of themselves sufficient to repay the projector for the time and money expended in bringing his light to its state of perfection. That it is capable of further improve ment there is no doubt, and that it may be usefully em ployed as a medium of communication between ships at sea, in distress or otherwise, and the shore is admitted ; therefore, as the prosecution of the work is beyond the means of a single person, we hope those who are interested will now take the thine; seriously in hand, and dO what may be necessary to insure its general adoption.—Liverpool Standard. Exclusive dealing is now strictly enforced by both parties, Conservatives and Roman CathOlies, at Youghal. EXTRAoRDINA itY CASE.—During Monday's pre mendous storm, as a waggon loaded with - coals was passing along the streets in 13rigg, a child-was blown under it, and one of th wheels passed completely over both its legs: strange as it certainly was, the only injury sustained by the child was a rather severe bruise or two. And on the same day, and at the same place, another child was blown into the river Ancholme, but was speedily rescued from its perilous situation by the prompt assistance of a witness to the accident.—Boston Herald. DREADFUL ACCIDENT. —EXTRAORDINARY PRESENCE or MIND.—The following instance of singular presence of mind on the part of a lady, under very dreadful circumstances, has been communicated by a correspondent:— Mrs. Cooper, wife of Mr. T. S. Cooper, the cattle-painter, of 13, Portland-terrace, St. John's-wood, on Thursday even ing last applied some turpentine to the foot of one of the children, who has chilblains, before going to bed. The servant, the only one then in the house, had taken the children up stairs to Led, and Mrs. Cooper was in the act of putting the cork in the bottle, which was on the chimney-piece, when the bottle fell and broke, the contents pouring into :the fire which began to blaze with fearful violence. She im mediately pressed a rug on it, but finding that did no good, she ran into the painting-room for another, which she used in the same way, in doing which her hands be came dreadfully burnt. She screamed for the servant ; finding she did not answer, she ran up stairs; when on the landing, horrid to relate, she found her dress was in flames. She screamed " Fire ! fire !" and rolled on the ground to try to put it out—not succeeding, she came down again to the parlour, which was still burning rapidly, when in a fainting state she took up the poker and struck the wall of the next house, calling " Fire !" Her servant then ran to the next house, No. 12, Mr. Harvey's, whose servant came to her assistance, and put out her burning dress. Mrs. Cooper then went into fits, which, by the providence of God, did not come on before. Medical aid was then found, that rendered her all the assistance possible. Her hands arc frightfully burnt, as also her neck from shoulder to shoulder, to the top of her dress, which, being of woollen, arrested the fire downwards. The poor lady lingered in the greatest agony till Monday evening, when she found some relief from sleep. Her hands have since then presented a more healthy appearance, and she is considered nearly out of danger. Mr. Cooper had only left the house a quarter of an hour before with his brother-in-law, who was going into the country, and returned between ten and eleven. Judge his feelings when lie found the dreadful wreck which had taken place durin g his short absenc e . Mrs. Cooper endeav oure d to extinguish the fire, in her anxiety to preserve her husbznd's sketches and paintings, which were in the next room, although Mr. Cooper had only insured three weeks before.
