Diffidence, or a ; sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em- . bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea, of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an-1 COM prosin harry ; but .the" truth Iles deeper. Physical Incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness! and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice denaand tkat health should form an item in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Marriage requires the ftfifilmont of several conditions. in order that it may be really . .he canoe of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and Its true source in every instance disclosed, Ir. how many could It be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap anintments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the Prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less Injury to the constitutional an , . :hal powers. The part , cular excesses. of .he nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the of the ReproductiveOi•gans, and o. t it h r e ta ir tom re y lat a iy u e d conditions Pisgyilo in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, fir what subject can be of more importance than the preserTation 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 vi,:ions habits, whether acrinired In early life or from the follies ef advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consegnemees, 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 or assistance where alone it can he procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination. n ascertaining the causes of diseat.e, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelliout and practical physician. and to the medloal man Who can show by his posse-sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confleience should be extended.

PROTECTION OF TRADE. An extraordinary general meeting of the Society of Guardians for the Protection of Trade, established upwards of seventy years ago, " for the protection of traders against swindlers and sharpers," was held on Tuesday, at •the offices, 1.3, St. Swithin'a-lane, City, to ballot for proposed new members, and to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament for an amend ment of the laws respecting the lending of goods on hire ; and also as to the appointment of a public pro secutor, and the lessening of expenses in criminal proceedings. Mr. Alderman Farehrother presided. The first business proceeded with was the election of members. Mr. LEEKS, the secretary, in bringing forward the next' matter for consideration, namely, "The propriety of petitioning Parliament for an amendment of the laws respecting the lending of goods on hire," re marked that the society had received a letter from Messrs. Collard and Collard , on the subject. These gentlemen complained in bitter terms of the present law of landlord and tenant, and stated that, in some cases, landlords allowed rent to accumulate before they seized, when there was property in the house, although that property did not belong to the tenant, but had been hired from other parties. Messrs. Collard suggested that an early meeting should be called in order to form a deputation to Lord John Russell. Front Mr. Chappell, of Old Bond street, a letter had also been received. That gentleman stated that, during the last 17 years, he had been in the habit of lending out harps and other musical in struments on hire. In cases where he could not get his instruments back, his only remedy was to com mence an action of trover, but the law expenses would amount to more than double the value of the Instrument. Mr. RIDGWAY contended that the existing law acted very prejudicially en -the interests of many who ought to be able to look to it for protection. A case had come under his own notice which would illustrate that point. A tailor in New Bond-street had in his house a large quantity of goods belonging to other persons, who were abroad ; the second floor in his house was let to a milliner; and the upper portion of the house to another person. When the tailor died the rent had accumulated to 335/. On the day the man was buried the landlord put an execution into the house, and not content with taking the goods of the tailor, and the whole of the property of Captain Grey, of the 17th Dragoons, who happened to be there, but the whole of the stock of the milliner was seized, because she had not walked out the day the man died. It was the landlord's fault that the rent had been allowed to accumulate, and no blame could attach to those whose property was forfeited. He thought the society ought to protect such persons. Alderman FAREDROTHER—Suppose a deputation went up to Lord J. Russell to speak to him on the point, the very next day a deputation would go up from the landlords, praying that they might be pro tected from persons sending in goods without a proper consideration. He might say that tradesmen had no right to send out these things to enable persons to make a deceptive appearance. He had no hesitation in saying that if Mr. Collard or another person had applied to him in his magisterial capacity for a sum mons, ordering property to be immediately delivered up, he should have granted it. Mr. BARBER (of the firm of Barber, Howes, and Co., St. Paul's Churchyard) said that during the last few years he had been actively engaged in bringing to light swindling transactions, and in handing over to justice their perpetrators. The number and ex tent of these transactions in the city . of London were incredible, and so they would continue to be until the Legislature directed its attention to the matter. From information which we had received, he found that the most cunning persons might be taken in by those swindlers. The only way in which they could put a stop to their malpractices would be the amendment of the law, making it a transportable offence, and the appointment of a public prosecutor. In France and Germany there was a public prose cutor, but in England there was nothing of the kind. —(llean) If the threat of transportation were held out to such fellows as those by whom Mr. Gray was victimised, there would not be so many of them infest ing that and other cities. Mr. BREWSTER suggested, that as Lord Brougham had intimated his intention of bringing in a Bill on the subject of the criminal law, the matter should be referred to him. Mr. BARBER moved the following resolution : "That on the suggestion of several influential mem bers of the Society of Guardians for the Protection of Trade, a public meeting of traders he called, for the purpose of considering the necessity for an amendment of the law respecting the lending of goods on hire; the appointment of a public prose cutor, the lessening of expenses in criminal cases, and the:more effectual punishment of swindlers and bill-stealers." Mr. COLLARD seconded the motion. After a lengthened discussion, in which several gentlemen joined, the resolution was carried. A vote of thanks to the Chairman closed the pro ceedings. THE IRON TRADE. The position of this trade remains unaltered, except that several additional furnaces have been put out of blast The spirit of infatuation still prevails among the workmen, and they continue to absent themselves from the works, while the unabated stagnation of business affords no prospect that the masters will be enabled to give way to their demands. The colliers and miners are also partially on the strike, and a few disturbances hare taken place in the neighbourhood of Kingswinford and Dudley, by the exhibition of violence on the part of the unemployed against the more reasonable of their companions who have returned to werk. From the evident intention to commit outrage, it was judged expedient, in one instance, to send for the aid of the military, but the mob having accomplished their ends of intimidation, quietly dispersed. We begin, however, to feel some apprehensions for the prospects of our labouring population. The few iron masters who hold stocks of wrought iron are unwilling to part with them at the reduced rates, while the general merchant and other orders are of a nature scarcely justifying the manufacturing con sumers in purchasing at the former prices, although their warehouses prove, as we predicted, quite desti tute of iron ; hence their workmen are daily being thrown out of employment for want of materials. Among the nail makers, especially, the deplorable wretchedness that must ensue is fearful to contem plate. A respectable dealer informs us, that in col letting his small accounts through one district he found in several houses the whole family huddled to gether without food or fire, their spirits completely broken; and, instead of asking for his money, he was constrained to offer his mite towards alleviating their distress. It therefore becomes a consideration of moral re sponsibility to each individual concerned, to lend his assistance towards alla3 ing the confusion that results in so much wretchedness to his fellow-creatures; and not to allow either pride or avaricious selfishness to obscure his perception that the interests of the trade, of which his own are part and parcel, hare a claim upon hi.; cordial co-operation. The propriety of taking the most stringent mea sures has been canvassed, and unless a speedy inti mation of some intention to resume their employment by the paddlers, forgemen, colliers, and others, is ap parent, we should not be at all surprised to hear of a resolution to blow out simultaneously the whole of the furnaces in the district.—Birmingham Gazette. THE GREAT SNOW STORM OF 1620.—The snow fell Turing thirteen days and nights with very little in termission, accompanied with great cold and a keen biting wind. About the fifth and sixth days the young sheep fell into a torpid state and died, and about the ninth and tenth days the shepherds began to build up large semi-circular walla of the dead, in order to afford some shelter for the living; but the protection was of little service. Impelled by hunger, the sheep were fre quently seen tearing at one another's wool with their teeth. On the fourteenth day there was, on many a high lying farm, not a survivor of extensive flocks to be Large missharen walls of dead surrounding a small prostrate group, likewise dead, and stiffly frozen in th r t :,he eye of the forlorn shepherd and h's i a ,„ st „ r. o f uvw „ rds „f 20,!,00 sheep maititaind in the extensive pastoral district of Eskdale Moor, only about of Nature. forty-five were left alive.—Gallery Sir,—For some years past our Indian Governors, though they may have got measured for their coats, have been forced to put on their wars ready made. Let us hope that, in this respect at least, Lord Dal housie will have been treated less scurvily than his predecessors; and that on taking charge of the im portant countries committed to him he may have found a tranquil field open to his abilities. Where so much is to be done, it is fortunate that there should be so much to do it with. For the present we seem to have got out of our scrape :in the Punjaub much better than we had any right to expect ; and upon this we should hardly have had to plume ourselves, as we now may, but for the energy and talent which have been displayed in such ample measure, and with such steady perseverance, as we have lately seen. We have little now to fear from our advance beyond the Sutlej, but that it takes us so much nearer to the Affghans, who may still prove no less dangerous as neighbours than we have already found them vigorous as enemies. While Runjeet Singh lived, and while the Seikh soldiers retained their French officers, they, too, were a formidable people to deal with ; and even since they lost their ruler and their leaders, they have offered a resistance, both for courage and activity, such as we had not before en countered in India. But left to themselves the Seikhs are physically no better than our own Sepoys. They belong, in fact, to the same race ; and having once been put down effectually, the probability is that they will remain down. If it be asked why they were not put down sooner, like all previous Indian armies composed of similar materials, I can only say that I think it was the consequence, not of any superior courage in the men, but o, the isugression left upon them by their French officers.ra — Coniznanders of Indian soldiers, and generally as implements of Indian warfare, there seems to be this remarkable distinction between the English and the French,—the English make the best leaders ; the French are good leaders too, and they are comrades into the bargain. When the Sepoys lose their English officers they lose their all ; much as they can do with their officers they can do nothing without them. But when the Sepoys lose their French officers, though they lose a great deal, still they retain something. The English officers never descend from their position ; they are offi• cers off the parade as well as on it. The French officers, on the contrary, associate with their soldiers, both Indian and European. In Europe they have many, if not most of them, risen from the ranks; and, therefore, it is easy for them both to go down towards their men, and to draw their men up towards them. They meet half-way, and have an acquaint ance, an intimacy, beyond and independent of their military relation. I have been told by a friend who served through the greater part of the last war in Europe, that he had seen French officers playing at billiards with their men. The French officers and privates are " hail fellow well met." With the Eng lish it is different. The energy and dogged resolu tion of the Englishman will always rouse and carry on his nen when they see him in their front, but the familiarity and flexibility of the French character make a deeper and leave a longer impression than the reserve and stiffness of the English. The beggars at Hyderabad, in asking charity of an European, still used, in my time, to call him Bussy, after the officer who had commanded the Nizam's French corps be fore we were any of us born ; and as late as 1820 M. Raymond's tomb there was still periodically illumi nated, though he had been dead, I think, since 1797, and, for aught I know, it is so still. lam aware that they were both of them men of eminent ability; but we too have had no want of men of equal eminence ; and yet where is the English name, or the English monument in India, that is remembered in this way ? For ourselves, therefore, and for those of our Indian neighbours who, though now our allies, may some day become our enimies, I need hardly say that in this respect no change from our present circum stances could be for the better. Let but our Sepoys continue to have the same officers to lead them as have led them hitherto, and they will go anywhere; but the French Sepoys, even when their officers are no longer with them, for a time at least, prove the better soldiers of the two. Yet even this distinction has its limits. The French are no longer conciliatory when they are no longer dependent. They are spoiled by power ; and, strange as it may seem they lose instead of gaining influence by elevation. I remember to have heard it said by Meer Allum, who, measured by our standard, was, out and out, the ablest man I met with among the natives of India, and wto would, indeed, have been an extraordinary man in any coun try in which he had been placed—l remember to have heard him say, after ample experience of them both, that the French made the better servants and the English the better masters of the two. Let us take what pains we can to retain that lofty position, to which it seems, therefore, that we are properly suited. I am concerned to see that the resistance in Goom soor is still continued. In itself, it can be of no ul terior consequence ; but, as an example, every in stance of successful rebellion i s t o b e d e p reca ted. We ought, in all cases, to avert res i stance as l ong as we can ; and when it does o ccur we ought to suppress it as soon as we can. ...._. While we are watching, however, with solicitude the influence which the intelligence from India may have upon our interests at home, we must not be negligent of what we are ourselves doing, or suffer ing to be done, to impair or improve our prospects abroad. I regret to see the attempts which are still beiqg made to interfere indiscreetly with the religion, or call it the superstition, of our Indian subjects. I say indiscreetly, because I am persuaded that, be our design as good as it may, the way in which we are going to work is calculated rather to obstruct than to promote it. For the same reason I regret the recal of our contributio n to the Indian temples. As to any influence which that contribution may be thought to have upon their support, we may be as sured that it will have none. They will not stand one s i n gle day longer with the help of our contribu tion, nor fall one single day sooner for the want of it. But by what we are now doing we shall excite sus picion of our purpose, and provoke, where we ought to appease, resistance. The sacrifice of human life into which the Ilindoos are betrayed is earnestly to b e d eprecate d . B ut i t i s not in Pagan rites alone that th a t sacr ifi ce h as b een wantonly and prodig a ll y made. There always have ben, and there still are, fanatics in every creed and every country. Even we ourselves have not been exempt from the contagion. Can we have for gotten what happened in our own crusades, or how whole provinces, both in Europe and in Asia, were strewn with the carcases of Christian victims ? And, as far as sanctity of purpose is concerned, in what respect are the infatuated Hindoos t o b e d enounce d for l very that same w e holdde vo t to o have consecra t e d t h e en thusiasts n, much as it i s t o b e de plored, among ourselves ? W e have grown wiser since those days , and the Ilindoos w ill grow w i ser t e h d e , too as they advance as we have done, and as know ledge and reflection acquire dominion over them. Let us pause, therefore, before we incur the risk of retarding or averting that consummation by a pre cipitancy which can only defeat our endeavours to advance it. Even if it be denied that any of the votaries of a wrong creed are ever led right, at least it will be admitted that many of those of the right creed are often led wrong. What reason is there for our shrinking from the Pagans of India more now than ever we have done before ? In what respect are either the Alahometans or the Ilindoos inferior to ? the p ro f essors of any other creed besides our own . Or in w h at particular do they lose in the comparison ? Neither the Ma hometaas nor the Ilindoos ever saw or heard of Christ, or were brought within the influence of His example. They neither depreciated nor rejected Him. On the contrary, the Mahometans still recog nize the divinity of His mission ; only they deny that it was a final one. They hold that it had been announced in previous missions, and that it was corn- P' lete I in that of Mahomet. Whe never they do speak of our Saviour, they speak of him reverentially, as Hazrut Esau, the Lord Jesus. And as to the Ilindoos it was not that ha vin g a choice to make, they made a wrong one ; they had no choice, and they made none. There was no option. The truth was never revealed to them. If they are still in the dark, it is because they never were admitted to the light. What they still are, they already were before our Saviour's mission was vouchsafed to us ; and we must not revile them because they have not received what was never offered, and because, having been born and bred where they have been and as they have been, they arc slow to abandon the ancient faith of their fathers. Let it be remembered, too, that we are ourselves both foreigner and intruders in that country, where the Mahometans and the Ilindoos, at far as time can give a title, may hold themselves to be at home. Are we not entitled to expect that the sun will again appear in the East as it rose there ? and may we not content ourselves in waiting for the appointed time ? Whenever it may be decreed that t'he truth [ shall be shed upon our brethren in India, they will discern it more calmly, mere profitably, and, what chiefly concerns us, more peaceabiy if they discern it by the spontaneous exertion of their own faculties. They are already in the hands of One who will en lighten them when He shall see fit; and we cannot do better, either for them or for ourselves, than leave them to His good pleasure. For the present, whether we contemplate the certainty of the end or the safety of the means, it will be wise in us to trust to educa tion to work its own way, and to wait for it to pro duce its own result. As far as we presume to specu late on that result, though I hope and believe that the inhabitants of India will all become Christians in the end, it will still be a long while first, and we shall ardly be allowed to remain there to witness the com pletion of the change. Even if we should enact the part of lookers-on, it is not likely that we should have any share in the ceremony. I may probably be rebuked for fancying, because see differently from other and perhaps better men, that therefore I see farther than they do. But I can not help fearing that I see more accurately when I dread that without greater caution our projects, with whatever good intentions they may be meditated, besides defeating their own end, will lead in•the re sult to disastrous consequences; and we may as well, therefore, while there is still time, calmly contem plate the distinction between the ground on which we .shall in that case stand ourselves, and that on which we shall place the Indians—the distinction, in fact, between the attempt to impose religion and the attempt to defend it. Sir J. Mackintosh says, in his History of England, that " wars to impose religion by force are the most execrable violations of the rights of mankind; but that wars to defend it are the most sacred exercise of those rights."—l am, sir, your obedient servant, Jan. 24. CIVIS. FUNERAL OF THE REV. GEORGE CLARK. Yesterday the remains of this Rev. Gentleman were consigned to their last resting place, in St. Luke's burial-ground, Chelsea, with all the pomp and circumstance of military honours. For the past 44 years the Rev. Gentleman has been Chaplain to the Royal Military Asylum at Chelsea, and during the whole of that long period of service, he was highly appreciated for the exertions he made in behalf of the interests of the institution by all who had its welfare at heart. By none was he more esteemed and respected than by the boys connected with the asylum ; and from his long period of service, and from the number of those who had been placed under his care, it may be said, that in all parts of the world where a British regi ment is stationed, the name of Mr. Clark is no un familiar one, as there is scarcely a regiment in the service that does not contain several of those who, in their youthful years, had been placed under his tuition, and who still retain a high sense of his kindness, and recollect with feelings of gratitude the useful lessons he has imparted to them. His whole soul was bound up in the asylum; so much so, that in the month of April last, when he felt that his mortal career could not in the course of nature be much longer continued, he expressed a wish that he should be buried in the ground set apart for the children of the institution, stating that, as he had so long lived amongst them, he should like to be buried amongst them. Yesterday, on the occasion of his funeral, a large number of the respectable inhabitants of the place attended the funeral, as a token of respect to the deceased. The funeral procession started from the Asylum at one o'clock, and consisted of; besides the family and relations of the deceased, the students of the normal school, amounting to forty in number, the boys of the model school to the amount of three hundred, all the sergeants connected with the insti tution, together with the private friends of the de ceased. Mr. W. Cousens, the Quarter-master, and Colonel Brown, the Commandant of the Hospital, also joining in the procession. The boys' band con • nected with the Asylum headed the procession, and delighted all who witnessed by the admirable manner they performed the pieces of music assigned thorn. The funeral service was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Dusatory, in the presence of a crowded assemblage, who seemed to be impressed with a deep feeling of respect for the reverend gentleman. LAMENTABLE SUICIDE AT WINDSOR. WINDSOR, TUESDAY EVENING. - Considerable excitement was created throughout the town yesterday morning, in consequence of a report that Mr. Thomas Hyde, a highly respectable inhabitant, about 60 years of age, who had carried on an extensive business for several years past as a wholesale and retail bacon factor, in Thames street, had committed suicide, by first cutting his throat on the banks of the Thames close to the town, and afterwards throwing himself into the river. The report unfortunately proved correct. The body was taken out by two watermen and conveyed to the King's Arms, and afterwards to the residence of the deceased. The unfortunate man expired the same night. An inquest was held upon the body this afternoon, at the Town hall, before J. IV. ➢lachin, Esq., the coroner, when the following evidence was adduced : Charles Hicks, a waterman, who was standing on indsor-bridge shortly after seven o'clock yesterday morning, saw the body, on its side, floating down the stream, and he, with another man, got it into a punt and pulled the body on shore. On taking it to the King's Arms public-house, close by, and unbuttoning the shirt collar, he found the throat cut, and the wound still bleeding. There were not the least signs of life. He went to the house of deceased to acquaint the shopman, when he was told his master had only left the house at seven o'clock that morning. The deceased had no shoes or hat on. George Brown, another waterman, who assisted th last witness to take the body ou t o f th e r i ver , g a v e e similar testimony. Edwin S. Collins, assistant to Mr. Alderman Soley, surgeon, deposed that he attended deceased, who was in a state of suspended animation, shortly after he was taken out of the water. There was a bleeding wound under the chin. After some time animation was restored by the usual means. Deceased was then conveyed to his own house, in Thames-street, and afterwards attended by his own family doctor. Mr. Edward Andrews, surgeon, who had attended Mr. Hyde's family during the past seven years, stated that, for the last three weeks, the deceased had been suffering under a general derangement of health oc casioned by lowness of spirits. From his knowledge of him, he had no doubt he had been liable to attacks of insanity during the preceding fortnight. His death, which took place the same evening, was in consequence of the effects of immersion in the water. The jury returned a verdict of Temporary Insanity. THE LIVERPOOL BANKING COMPANY. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, HALF-PAST FOUR, P.M.—This afternoon a public meeting of the deposi tors in this company,:which suspended payment in October last, was held at the Clarendon Rooms, to devise the best means of getting a prompt settlement of their accounts. The meeting was very nume rously attended, the large room being quite crowded. Mr. John Bennett was called to the chair. The CIL% IRIIAN said that a statement had been made proposing to pay the depositors by promissory notes, one-third on the Ist of April, one-third on the Ist of August, one-third on the Ist of December, and on the Ist February, 1849, the interest at 5 per cent. That morning he had called upon the manager, and told him that he would not agree to the interest remaining over until February 1849, but hare it paid along with the instalments. This proposition was agreed to, and he now recommended the depositors to accept it. An exceedingly long and warm discussion here arose on the proposition. The complaints were gene ral respecting the deposits not having been returned, and it was contended that they ought to have been paid at once out of the 21. per share call lately made upon the shareholders. Mr. JONES said he held a bill endorsed by the bank, and could not get the money, in consequence of which he was suing another person for it. Mr. ATKINS said he objected to the proposition altogether. Mr. PRIEST complained of the inconvenience to which the depositors had been put, and said that if necessary, another 21. per share should ho made to pay the depositors. Mr. SHORTHOUSE would reverse their position. If they had been debtors instead of creditors to the bank, 1 and had offered such terms, the bank would have treated it with contempt.—(Hear.) resolution was passed appointing a committee to wait upon the directors to-morrow (this day), and the meeting was adjourned to Friday next. PROSECUTIONS.—The several Police-courts in the metropolis have received the following directions on the subject of prosecutions for all serious offences within their respective districts:—" Whitehall, Dec. 30, 1847. Geetirrnen,—Soine instances having recently occurred of prisoners charged with serious offences being committed for trial, and of public inconvenience experienced from want of directions to counsel to prosecute, I am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to desire that for the future, in MI serious cases of committals, when the party irjured is not bound over, or is unable to prose cute, you will transmit as early as possible, for the in formation of the Secretary of State, copies of all depo sitions ta k en by von therein, that the sam e ma y be con sidered, and directions given for prosecutions.—l am, &c., S. M. Pinuans." The following extracts from a recent American paper, present a description of the enormous cost already incurred by the United States' invasion of Mexico , The President's Message states, that " On the Ist of the present month the amount of the public debt actually incurred, including Treasury notes, was 45,659,659 dollars ; and on the 4th of March, 1845, including Treasury notes, the public debt was 17,788,794 dollars ; and consequently the addition made to the public debt since that time is 27,870,859 dollars." Thus the President, without positively asserting it, evidently wishes to convey the impression that the actual cost of the war with Mexico up to the Ist instant, is less than 28,000,000 dollars. To coun teract this false impression of the cost of the unneces • sary and unjustifiable war with Mexico, into which the nation was plunged by the act o f the Executive, we present a few facts and figures, availing ourselves of the statements in an able article in the New Orleans Commercial Bulletin.

A singular instance of maternal affection, and me lancholy misery, occurred in this city a few days since. A widow, who unfortunately for them, was the mother of six children, found refuge in a dilapidated dwelling in one of the lanes. The youngest of her children fell ill and died. The whole family were in a state of the utmost destitution, and the disease rapidly mastered the young orphan's energies. A coffin was begged. Coffin and corpse would have been borne, perhaps without the mother's assistance, to some graveyard near. But she had lived at a dis tance of many miles from this city, and in the burial ground of her native place her friends were interred. The distance was far, and as few would consent to carry a coffin containing a stranger so far i unneces sarily, the poor mother resolved to bear t herself. She actually did so. She had it placed on her hack, and slowly and wearily she bore it away, reached the graves of her kindred, scratched a trench, we have heard, with her hands, and thus consigned to the earth where she wished they should rest the remains of her offspring. She returned to her orphans. A second took sick, died quickly, like the other ; like the other was placed in a charity coffin, and conveyed in the same way, by the unfortunate mother, to the same place of burial, and buried in like manner by her own bands. She returned again. A third child 'took sick, died speedily also, was stretched in a coffin procured from the charitable, borne away as before by the sorrowing mother, and interred near to the other two by the hapless poor creature's almost excoriated hands. She returned a third time. A fourth child was ill ; fell a victim as quickly as each of the others, was coffined by charity, and carried off and laid by the mother beside her three other children. She came back to her wretched apartment. A fifth child was seised by the malady, a fifth coffin procured, a fifth wearisome journey made alone by the mother, and a fifth body consigned to the earth, there, at all events, no longer to feel the pangs of disease, or the slow wasting pro gress of unalleviated hu n ger." Limerick Examiner EXTENSIVE SHIPWRECKS IN ZTLAIi D. The following (says the John O'Groars Journal) are the d: tails of shipwrecks and loss of life, during the gales which burst with such terrible fury along these northern coasts in the course of the past and the beginning of the present month. By the list which we subjoin, it will be seen that six large vessels have suffered shipwreck, and that five of these are total wrecks. The barque Harmonie, Hansen, of and from Ber gen, for Venice and Trieste, with a cargo of stock fish, struck on the south point of the Ness of Quien, east side of the island of Yell, on the 15th ultimo, at midnight, and in ten minutes was reduced to splin ters. The crew, twelve in number, were saved, and were to be forwarded by the ship Vigilantia, %Verge, for Stathelle. A watch was set to guard any portion of the wreck that might come on shore, but not withstanding this precaution, everything was car ried off. The schooner Humber, Frankish, of Hull, for Go thenburg, with a general and very valuable cargo, was driven ashore at ten A.M. on the 18th ult. at Housebiater, about two miles from the Church of Nesting. Part of cargo and materials have been saved in a damaged state. A great deal of plunder is reported to have taken place. The crew, six in num ber, arrived at Lerwick on the 22d ult. The schooner Oscar, Gray, of Hull, reported from Got . ienburg, with a cargo of sleepers, struck a reef off Scaw Ting, island of Whalsay, at two P.M., on the 19th ult. and immediately broke up ; crew lost. From a part of the log found, it appears that she left Gothenburg on the 30th of November, put into Arendal on the 4th of December, and sailed again the 7th. The last entry was made on the 13th, when she appears to have been under three reefed mainsail, a single reefed foresail, going with the wind at south, from four to two miles per hour. The brig Amelia, Douglas, of Kirkaldy, from Cronstadt ‘1 ith a cargo of flax and hemp, struck on a reef off Stava Ness. Nesting, at two P.M. on the 19th ult. and still remains ; the cargo is discharging, and vessel dismantling. Should the weather con tinue fine, it is probable she may be got off. The ship Clarendon, Macfarlane, of Leith, from Miramichi, with a cargo of timber, was wrecked at Tresta, island of Fetlar, on the 19th ult. ; crew — twenty in number—and one passenger saved, together with the cargo. The mate, and eight of the crew, and the passenger, arrived at Lerwick on the 25th,to take passage in the Matchless. 'The cargo saved is much damaged. The Clarendon lost her rudder in Sumburgh Roust, two days previous. Th. ship Fortuna, from the Baltic, laden with deals, was totally lost at midnight on the 2d instant on the Island of IVhalsay ; master and nine men saved, and eight of her crew drowned. WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY EveninG.---Lord John Russell arrived at the Castle to-day, from Richmond Park, accompanied by his lady. The Viscountess Pal merstcn also joined the Noble Viscount, who is staying at the Castle on a visit to her Majesty. Earl Spencer (the Lord Steward) was also amongst the arrivals to day. his Royal highness the Prince Consort had pro posed Fa shooting party in the orest for to day ; b u t i n consequence of the intense cold of the morning, th e s p ort The King and Queen of the Belgians went in one of the royal carriages to Frogmore again to-day, , to her Royal Highne ss th e D uc h ess of Kent. `Their Majesties returned to the Castle within an hour. WRECK OF THE SHIP IDALIA, AND MELANCHOLY Loss of LIFE,--Letters received yesterday from Ruyan, dated the 18th instant, communi ca t e t h e me l anc h o l y l oss of the British ship Idalia, (int:in Keith, of London, on the night previous, on the Coubre Point, at the entrance of the Gironde, with the greater portion of her unfortu nate crew, fourteen in number. The vessel was bound to Bordeaux, from Hartlepool, which port she left on the 12th. She encountered the gale on the 17th, and, it is presumed, that in a tt em p t i ng to run i nto th e Gi ron d e , she was driven on the rocks at the Point within a short distance of Coubre Lighthouse. Her boats being washed away, the crew took to the rigging, but in a few hours the vessel was totally demolished, and the whole of the poor creatures (with the exception of three seamen) found a tomb in the deep. The marine authorities have taken charge of the remains of the wreck and cargo that have been washed up. It is not known if the vessel is insured. We have much pleasure in stating that a Mr. Bown, from Birmingham, who is connected with the management of a Sunday-school belonging to S t. George's Church, in that town, did, on his jJurneys. as a commercial traveller solicit contributions of one shilling each from his fellow-travellers, and in about eight months received 281. 7s. 6d., which ho paid over on the 31st Dec. last, as a donation from that body, for the use of these schools. It is understood Mr. B. intends pro ceeding with this subscription until he has collected 501. Much to the credit of the commercial travellers, the re fusels have not been more than one in a hundred.

She is, however, looked for in the, course of to-night, or to-morrow morning. The weather here has set in intensely cold, with severe frost, but in consequence of much wind the water in the ponds has not yet frozen. The ice merchants, of whom there are three or four extensive ones in Southampton, for supplying the shipping with this article of luxury for summer use, are conse quently almost inactive. . UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, JAR. 26.—THE BISIIOF OF MAN• CHBSTRR.—There was no congregation holden to-day for the purpose of sanctioning a grace to authorise the conferring the degree of D.D. upon the above mentioned reverend prelate, as it had been previously stated there would, on the authority of the Vice- Chancellor's notice. It would appear, that at the time the notice was issued the fact of the consecration of the bishop was unknown to the University autho rities. This ceremony having been performed, the bishop is entitled (ander an interpretation made R May 31, 1786), , to proceed to the degree which was *bout to be of conferr edanother on Right him ht " a Reverend of tion. Th e Vi ce -Ch ance ll or, act i ng w i th the con currence ter pre d ia is t t, e itc- a mutual friend of the parties, consequently withdrew his notice, and intimation of this fact having been circulated, the officers whose presence is necessary to the constitution of a congregation did not se , se mble.

An admirable contrivance for speedily extinguish ing fires has been adopted by Mr. Alexander Annan dale, at his large paper- mill at Polton, near Edinburgh. The following is an account of this ingenious appara tus : —The apparatus may be said to combine, in itself, a complete fire-brigade. It consists of two pumps, with capacious air -vessels, one of these pumps being worked by a steam-engine, the other by a water-wheel. These being the movers of the machinery of the mill, are consequently in con stant action and always ready for the accident of fire. The original objects of these pumps was to raise water from the river into a reservoir for the supply of the mill; hut, by the addition of a valve, the desired results are effected. On the orifice of the pipes connected with the pumps, where it delivers the water into the reservoir, is placed the valve, which is equal in diameter to the pipe. It has the ordinary lever which is generally attached to the safety-valves of steam boilers, and indeed resembles them in every h re y spe t c n t e . vin T g his th l e - alv w -e eig ca h n t b e e lee l g oad t e h d e to any . e b x u t t enf s , regulated emp s e r e s o that subjected i t will t e open sh b a efor s e trai th n e p a i s pe m a . a n; endanger i their bursting. Attached to the pipes from the pumps (and in such a situation as may command with ease every portion of the works}, are the means of fixing a number of leather hose-pipes, with their conductors. In one situa tion in front of the building six of these hose. , pipes can be attached. On lifting a wooden cover, which is level with the ground, we find the six nozzles, with water-tight caps screwed upon them, which are removed to give place to one or more of the hose-pipes, when wanted. A slide-cock admits the water at once to all those nozzles from the main pump pipe. Two of these leather hose being brought out and fixed upon this pipe, the weight drawn along the lever of the valve and the slide-cock opened, an unbroken jet of water from each of the nozzles is projected over the highest part of the building, equal in inter)- , city, and superior in steadiness, to that of any two Of the best fire-engines. But this is not all ; at the same time the other four hose-pipes can be attached and brought to act in the same manner, and with the like efficiency, and the mill ryiety be thus reciily deluged, The whole operation doss not occupy two men five minutes. Had such an ap paratus been in existence two years ago, the whole: Of this valuable property, ,which was then burnt to the ground, might have been saved. In many places, advantage has been taken of the water-supply pipes, as a means of extinguishing fires, and where a competent head ,of water can be obtained, and the pipes are of sufficient capacity, and laid for that purpose alone, nothing more need be desired ; but this cannot always be obtained but at an immense expense, and in some situations not at all. The finest feature of the Polton Mill apparatus is its applicability to towns as well as mills; for any desired pressure may be given to water without resorting to the expense of having elevated reservoirs. Take for example the city of Edin burgh, which has many sources of water in its neigh bourhood, which might be made available for the cleans ing of sewers, streets, closes, and other sanitary pur poses, as well as for the extinction of fire. An engine placed at the canal basin, and a train of pipes laid through the principal streets, with the necessary means of attaching leather hose-pipes, might be used for these objects. The engine could be made to work a number of pumps, discharging water into one large air vessel, the safety-valve as it may be termed, ar g series of valves, to be placed, not at the remote ex tremity of the pipe, but at the pumps under the control of the engineer. Supposing the whole train of pipes filled, and the pumps discharging a small portion of their water through the satety-valve, which may be loaded to such an extent as may be equivalent to a head of water, limited only by the power of the engine and the strength of the material, it is evident that such pressure and such quantity of water as the pumps can deliver will be transmitted through the whole train of pipes, subject pipe,on only to andthat the deduction th e l arisingload n e thefrom the enginef friction t w lin in the always be equal to the load on the valve and the quantity of water delivered; and this need never be more than what is necessary for the purpose in hand. To any one at all conversant with the principles of hydraulics all this will be evident. To render the whole arrangement complete for a large city, might not the electric telegraph or some concerted signal be introduced to transmit intelligence from any distant locality to the engineer at the engine, when instantly the pumps could be set in motion. The system has already been adopted at th e Li verpoo l D oc k s, w h ere nine miles of pipe f or fi re ex ti nct i on a l one h ave b een laid. It is even projected to carry such pipes through the whole streets, with a hose connexion at every lamp-post.—Scotsman. REVIVAL OF GREAT GRIMSBY PORT.—In the reign of Edward the Third the port of Great Grimsby my plied eleven vessels for the armament against Calais) but it gradually sank into extreme insignificance until a railway was projected to it. The mere prospective advent of :the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, which will be opened to 'Great Grimsby in the present spring, has been to raise the Customs revenue from 3,9291. in 1843,.t0 70,0731. in the last year, 1847. ANOTHER VICTIM TO TUB GAME-LAWS.—In the last month, John Heiman, of the parish of Colaton Ra leigh, a most quiet, harmless, and inoffensive old man, set a rat-gin without any bait, but lightly covered over with earth, in a rabbit run in his own field, and to his great surprise, on visiting the gin, he beheld a pheasant th caught by the head. The keepers were ed watching the e where he rat trap; it was enough, they pounc ed upon h im,o l d man Colaton, case was heard before the Woobury Bench, the poor old d m i a ili n n w n as me co u rn da n 3 ! , i l t a ted st. tolithisethceougnetnyerbarlidheelwiee and all the surrounding parishes, that the pheasant was placed in the gin, because no bait was there, and had it been taken in the act o f runnin g or diggin g , it certainl y must have been caug ht b y the le g s.— It Ti mes . A ludicrous scene occurred, not very long ago, i n a certain small chapel, situated in one of those romantic and secluded valleys for which West Cumberland is so celebrated. Th e minister, who was a man by no means usual juvenile e s ite n , p ortion , ,ii ha t i of )f th his y aver se to the enjoyment of the good things of thi s world, I%ivtawk, s a nd e ngaged on in puttingcatechising the the question name?" to the girl who stood highest, a strapping wench of thirteen, the only d aug h ter o f t h e v ill age B on ifice, received no reply. " Wh at i s t h y name ?" sa id th e minister in a more peremptory manner. Girl—' Nin o' yer fun, parson ; ye kna me neamo varra weel. Duont ye say, when ye're at our house on a neet, ' Bet, bring in another pint o'yell !' " It is needless to say that notwithstanding the sacred nature of the place in which they were assembled, the congregation was on a broad grin. his reverence looked daggers.—Lancaster Guardian. _ _ _ ENNISIC IMFIN 7 JAN. 21.—The Rev.
