'RAISING WATER discovered by the FOUN TAIN PUMPS, 'which roll the water upwavie, without either friction or faltering, therefore can never be surpassed ; conse tuntly this is the mast important discovery ever made for the pre eervatien of life and property either at Sea or on Land. AT SEA. numerous ships it has already saved, and the captains gratefally ac knowledge the glerioas results. Two testimonial extracts shall litlffiee " Captain Greig, from Quebec to Londe', states that the Fountain pump being fitted in the Caroline, its great power was tke means •t saving the ship and 230 mule on board, two seams in the bottom being partly left without calking." " The Argus brig, from Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days out a t 55 5, and goon after her common pump cheaked and became use less. Captain Rutherford states all tken depended upon her Foun taM Pump, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was ie ac tien without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely in Lindell, With a thanit God for the Fountain Pump." 011 t LAND _the IC ew Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service than a fire brigade. They act instantaneously at the outbreak of a fire. "We are delighted with the invention—it is a great Wei to 50- oiety."--Editors Liverpool hail. The New Portable Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on lire in and near the city, they saved eleven :-olely and seven mainly, including in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and in the eleven, Messrs. Horton's dyery, and 12,0001. worth of consigned pro perty; Stoke mustard, starch, and flour mils, aid Messrs. Butcher's grocery warehouses, just infante to prevent a large quantity of gen powder therein from exploding, which must have spread around de struction and death. " North Walsham.—At this fire the Portable Bngine was of great service, and by having one of them ready, there is no doubt but half the property now destroyed might have been saved."—Norfolk Clue niche, August 22, 1846. At a Norwich fire June 2, 1847, 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 fact is this, all former Force ramps, Lift-force Pumps, Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines: they rub, grub, and scrape the water apwards by friction, which wastes two-fifths of the power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young and Mittel, with many other eminent experimenters, lamented thus. :—The quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom exceeCs half the power consumed, after overcoming friction and leakage ; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world had tried in vain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects in hydraulic machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is won, and won for ever ; for friction and leakage are now both annihilated by the new rolling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented from twelve to twenty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with out more outlay. Most men can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 40 seconds, but some men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric tion Pump an active sound-winded young Eaan of 140 lbs. weight can raise 141,600 lbs. of water ono foot high in a minute, and with a Foun tain Pump 9,0011 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni versai ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power. John Clentou Roberts, Bei., in his popular work, No. 1,110, did well in placing Gosnet's French Pump Abortion (that slaps the water inward) side by side with the Fountain Pump, which upset a good deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pueap maker, Mr. Raddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr. Ewbank, America, an ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the two pumps were identical. But the Yankee out-fooled John Bull and Paddy in No. 1,183, and in No. 496, Book-maker Millington's remarks are preposterous. However, on the other hand, Dr. Birk beck, Aberdour, Hay, Parkington, with many other discerning men, after witnessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the rolling principle, gave the invoation the following true and sustain able character:—The Fountain Pump is the most important improve ment in the art of raising water that has appeared within the last two thousand years—the greatest advancement in the aeeful arta in modern times. The Consummation Fountain Pumps are successfully carried out for private and public ages, at lifts helve and above 100 het altitude, for man, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per choke to 100 barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed at less cost tha n common pum ps., W.

This breach of the law is acquiesced in bY a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im- Possibility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with the Aid machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge ntou and effective Ramoneur 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 (treating 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 joint, which leads the brush with certainty Past every angle, and into every comer, cleansing its route most Perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated by the fact, that it is exclusively used in the Government and numerous publie offices, while the patronage beAtowesi by a large number of the nobility and gentry in continuing their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter tke latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social context. The dowry should not he the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand tkat health should form ax item in the compact; it alone dignities the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

The first meeting of the session was held on Tues day evening, when a paper was read descriptive of Mr. Frederick Ransome's process for making artificial stone. The modus operandi appeared to be very simple. Broken pieces of silica (common flint), being subjected for a time to the action of caustic alkali, boiling under pressure in a close vessel, formed a transparent silicated solution, which was evaporated to a specefic gravity of 1,600 (distilled water being 1,000); and was then intimately mixed with given proportions of well-washed sand, broken granite, or other materials of different degrees of hardness. The paste thus constituted, after being pressed into moulds from which the most delicate impressions were readily received, was subjected to a red heat, in a stove or kiln, by which operation the free or uncombined :silica of the raw materials united with the excess of alkali existing in the solution, thus forming a semi-vitreous compound, and rendering the artificial stone perfectly insoluble. This production must evidently be adaptable to a comprehensive range of objects—for decorative art and for architectural purposes ; busts, vases, flooring, tiles, steps, balustrades, mouldings, capitals, shafts, and bases of columns, &c. Even grinding stones and whetstones for scythes have been made, and in fact, from the beauty and variety of the specimens exhi bited, there would appear to be a vast field opening for such a production. It was stated to be already extensively manufactured at Ipswich, and it was allowed to admit of extensive application where elaborately carved stone would be too expensive. Mr. Richmond (of Bow) exhibited and explained an engine counter manufactured i by him on an im proved principle. The counters n ordinary use were described as either somewhat inefficient machines, liable to error, or of too expensive construction to be generally employed. This counter differed from others chiefly in its simplicity and its accuracy, whilst at the same time its low price of seven pounds brought it within the reach of every one. With this machine the number of strokes made by the engine or other machine could be read off at one view with ot h u e t e c n a i t? r u e l a c t i i r o c n u . m f T e r h e e n c l e e a o d f i Tang e o l r a r u g ni t ed h a l a , n a d n d t r t a h v o e s r e s ed of the three small dials revolved in the same direction. The first motion was described as being given by a sliding bar and fixed spring, instead of a double pallet, so that the first wheel could not be thrown more than one tooth by one stroke of the engine. The hands were all moved by a train of whe e ls a nd m pinions, without skip wheels, so that the m o ti on was r e gular and parog,reinssitvhee. w ere discussion upon upon the admitted machine, o li be , ie a it a s v m an erit gsesaP and, to be shown very decidedly. It was announced that the annual general meeting for the election of president, council, and officers of the institution would be held on Tuesday, Jan. 18, and that the paper to be read on Tuesday, Feb. 1, would be " On the drainage and sewage of Bristol," by Mr. James Green, M. Inst. C. E. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER.—The flatness which prevailed in the market at the close of the last week still continues, and the amount of business done today was very limited. There is still a demand for cloth suitable for the Levant, and some inquiry foryrinting cloth, both 27-inch and 40-inch, but in other fabrics very little business has been done. There have, indeed, been rather extensive inquiries for skirtings and other goods for shipment to India and one or two other important markets, but the disinclination, a nd per haps, in some cases, the i na bility, to afford the usual terms of credit with the present restriction of banking accommodation, have prevented any transactions of magnitude ; and, until there is some revival of con fidence, the business must necessarily be very limited. In the yarn market there has been exceedingly little business done, and prices again show a tendency to decline. On the whole, there is very little encourage ment to spinners a n d manufacturers to extend pro duction. Indeed, without some change in the aspect of the market, it is to be feared that the hours of labour must be again reduced. We hoar from various quar ters that reductions of wages are quietly taking place, the workpeople seeing the utter inutility of struggling to resist them at a time when, even at the reduced rates proposed, ' their employers are losing money by everything they produce. From the official return, prepared under; the direction of Captain Willis, showing the state of employment of the who% of the operative classes, within the borough of Man chester, who are employed in the various descrip tions of mills and works specified, made up to yes terday, we find, on comparison with the return for the previous week, that there are seven more cotton mills working full time, with a full complement of hands; four less working full time, with a portion only of the hands employed ; two more are working short time, and five fewer are wholly stopped. There are 1,457 more employed full time, and 102 more employed on short time, who were previously wholly out of employment. Of the total works, fourteen more are now working full time, with a full com plement of hands; one fewer is working full time, with a portion only of the hands employed; one more is working short time, and fourteen fewer are wholly stopped. There are altogether 1,904 more operatives working full time, and 1,047 more work ing short time, who were previously out of employ ment. Altogether, the return evidences a most decided improvement in the condition of the working classes of this city. WARRINGTON.—The Cockhedge Factory, which is in the hands of Messrs. Hadfield and Frost, com menced working on Monday morning last ; all the rest remain idle at present. ROCHDALE.—There was a good attendance of buyers present, and a decided improvement in the demand for flannels. More goods were sold than on any previous Monday for some time back. The late failure of Mr. Jesse Barns, of Milnrow, continues to be the general topic of conversation amongst mer cantile men. Every woolstapler in Rochdale is said to be a creditor, either to a greater or less amount. 'The bankrupt has absconded, and the numerous bills afloat, accepted by him, will press hard upon the improvement n although there drawers. There was some slight improvem en t i n t h e wool market, but not much change in prices.

Another failure has been announced to-day, but it is understood that the liabilities are not to any large amount. BLACILBURN.—On Friday last notices were posted in all the mills, of the town apprising the hands that their wages would be reduced (generally 10 per cent.) at the expiration of a month after date. In a few instances the reduction will be 10 percent. on the spinners' and weavers' wages, and 7i per cent. on the wages of the cardroom hands; but in the majority of instances it will be uniform.

We had occasion to notice in laudatory ter ma, the able manner in which this excellent periodir, ta i con cluded the past year. It commences the new one with equal ability, and the present number effort Is a favourable augury of what its readers may hope f er in the forthcoming volume. The first article is are view of a work well worthy of so high a complime at— " Madden's Revelations of Ireland." The reviewer enters con amore into the feelings of the tales ited author, and several spirited extracts are given fi !oin the volume. " The Irish Bar" necessarily, corn( :gin for an abundant share of notice—who, indeed, c( attempt to depict the manners, the incidents of the sister kingdom in the beginning of the present (iota tury, and overlook the many remarkable persons belonging to that distinguished holy — a body sti 11 deserving of the high consideration which was no universally accorded to it in bygone days. " Keller" " Grady" (author of " The Nosegay"), " Pleasant Ned Lysaght," "Unfortunate Norcott," " Peter Burrowes," and Frank M'Carthy, whose ready wit and convivial powers rendered hien tso much sought for, and afforded so high e, pro mise of future distinction, a promise which was not realised owing to his untimely and lament' t d d eath, are the parties referred to in the present P' apex; and the very names will be sufficient to in? Aicate how great a treat is served up to the reade We had almost omitted the greatest name of all, "O'Connell," . is but we regret to say that full justice not done to the " Irish Liberator." Neither is tlae Church :for gotten. Dean Kirwan, the celeb rated pulpit ora t or of the Established Church, and r,,ia surviving relative, Dr. Kirwan, the Roman Catholic President of the Galway College, are both. introduced to the reader. We cannot refrain from 'transcribing a short anecdote of the now extinct Popery laws :—" The Macmahon estates in the ce,unt of Clare, now h e ld b y M r. Co ppinger, of Barry's Court, were once in great jeopardy —as the Macmahons had reason to fear a discoverer. A very spirited, though ancier,t, spinster, a Miss. Macmahon, resolved to extricates her family by becoming a Protestant. Before doing so, she consulted a friar upon the proprie', l --- of her inten aons. He very frankly told her, 'let if, for the sake of lucre, she changed her treed, she would peril her soul. " Here 'goes then,' she cried, 'better at any time that the soul of an old maid should go to the devil, than the property of the Macmahons of Clare should go to the Protestants.' She conformed, and saved the property." And these were the good old times, and such were the restric tions imposed on the liberty of conscience, the penalties to which those who worshipped their Creator in the manner which they conceived most fitting were subjected, when the Atheist was tolerated, but the Roman Catholic persecuted with the most stringent enactments. " Gunhild, or the Phantom Ship," a very beautiful translation from the Danish, by Edward Kenealy, follows. Indeed the number is unusually rich in poetical contributions, for we have, in addition to that to which we have just alluded, the fourth number of " Lays of Many Lands," in which Man gan maintains his well-established reputation ; and " The Voyage of St. Brendan," in which one of the legends of that saint is narrated in a very agreeable manner. " The Fatal Bride," a second contribution from the reminiscences of a Bachelor, although it merely relates to natural events, and has not the wild and supernatural interest which the former paper possessed, is a touching narrative of earthly passion, and of the fatal results that too often attend a departure from principle. " The Apothecary's Wife," the first part of a Russian story, by Count Sallagur, is also very] pleasingly written, and well 'worthy of perusal. " New Books on Rome" conduets us to the Eternal City, under the auspices of a Protestaut clergyman and a Benedictine monk, and the lights and shadows of Roman life, as depicted by the Rev. Mr. Vicary and Don Jeremy Savano zala, our own highly-prized and well-beloved Father Prout. There is a good dissertation on the seventh and concluding volume of Southey's last work, "The Doctor." On opening the 67th Number of " Our Portrait Gallery," we are startled by a speaking likeness of the independent, the honest, the talented, and the unpurchaseable Robert Holmes. No one who had ever seen that intellectual countenance could for a moment be mistaken, although the fac-simile of his autograph had not been at tached to the pinto ; and we are bound to say that as fair and impartial a memoir of the distinguished subject is attached, notwithstanding the wide line of deinarca tion that exists between the political principles advo cated in the pages of the Dublin University Magazine and those which have been so consistently maintained for, the greater portion of a centiuß . that learned depicted in the engraving than are his mental qualities in the letter-press accompaniment. There is no Irish man, of any class or creed, whether he is so fortunate as to have the honour of Mr. Holmes's acquaintance or has merely heard or read of some of the incidents of his honoured and eventful career, who will not heartily join in the aspiration of the writer, and de sire " that there may be repeated opportunities of drinking to the health of Father Holmes of the North-East Bar." The political article, which con cludes the number, touches on many topics of deep and stirring interest in the present criticat posi tion of Ireland. A paper relating to such ques tions as the tenant-right, repeal, the poor laws, and the dangers and duties of the Conservative party, and landed interest in Ireland, from 1• so influential a quarter must excite considerable attention. Although we do not agree with the writer in many of his conclusions, we cannot deny him the credit to which he is entitled for the zeal and ability with which he has put forward his views on these momentous questions. We heartily wish our Con temporary a long continuance of that success which the energy and talent with which it is conducted so richly deserves. £29,917 9 4 S. s. d. 937 0 0 1,172 6 6 2,818 13 1 1,420 12 9 357 6 11 713 0 3 21 11 6 500 0 0 75 0 0 230 0 0 302 10 0 8,568 1 0 374 1 8 dcithiftseec.daltsiwsfnie d ay s .

The present number contains many pleasing nar ratives of stirring adventures by flood and field, and also some able professional papers. Of the latter, " Observations on the Amendments in the Naval Articles of War," by Tristram ; " Remarks on Kafirland," "The Russian War in the Caucasus," "On Military Colonies," by Lieutenant Colonel Wilkie, and "Captain Johnson and the Mariner's Compass," are well worthy of attention. The " Cruise in the est Indies" is concluded. " The Happiest Hour" is a pleasingly written poetical sketch of a well-known incident in the life of the celebrated Lord Exmouth, strongly illustrative of the character of a British sailor. We have also the fourth and last number of the " Recollections of Waterloo." " The Shots from an Old Six-pounder" will be cordially welcomed. The same agreeable gossiping style is maintained. The observations on gambling should be carefully trea sured by every officer. How many youths of high promise, with every prospect of a fortunate career, have sacrificed everything, and fallen victims to an indulgence in that fascinating vice. There is great truth in the following remarks:— "A word on gambling and the turf, at the risk of being thought slow. I consider playing even for the smallest stake a departure from right principle. I do not moan to say there is any actual harm in playing for a small stake, or the stakes usually played for in gene ral society. I merely speak as to the principle of the thing. Don't tell me that the risk is equal, or of such humbug as playing on the square. The risk never is equal. The value of money to every individual varies. It depends on this or that individual's position and cir cumstances; and as a parity of circumstances and posi tions is next to impossible, or, at all events, can but very rarely occur, it follows that the risk must necessarily, as a general rule, be unequal. The loss which beggars Captain B— causes no inconvenience to the Duke of D--. The latter gives his cheque—the Captain shoots himself. Besides, when is there a parity in temper, skill, experience, to say nothing of principle and fair dealing? Playing upon the square, indeed! Bah!" " Recollections of a Voyage to India," " A Remi niscence" and " Reminiscences of the late War of Succession in Portugal" will also well repay a perusal. The number also contains general corre spondence and editorial remarks of the usual cha racter. UP- THE BANKER'S MAGAZINE AND S PLEMEIVT. This excellent periodical continues its able ar ticles on monetary affairs. The number opens - with a " Review on the Currency Debate," in which the unsound arguments and speci ou s fallacies put forward in the course Of the discussion are well exposed. Amongst others, the assertion t hat the. crisis had been produced by the conduct of our merchants and manu facturers. In answer to this, no le ss than fifty-si x large failures are referre d to, in which number there are scarcely half a dozen that can be considered bad ones, while there are at least double that number who will pay twent y s hillings in the pound, and h ave a su rplus even a fter the sacrifice of their prop er ty by forced sales at panic prices, and a still lar ger num b er who, even under present circumstances, will pay more than fifteen shillings in. .the pound, and who would have satisfied every liability, and had a balance left, if not obliged to throw their stock up on th e m arker, to sell for whatever it would bring. The Bank Charter Act is proved not only to have materially aggravated, but to have, to a great extent, occasioned the commercial disasters of the past autumn. There is also a variety of valuable information respecting the suspended houses and mercantile affairs gene rally, and a good article on the law and practice of foreign attachment in the city of London. The " Suppleinent" contains an accurate and copious re port of the recent debate on the Bank Charter Act, and the discussion on the appointment of the Com mittqe to inquire into the causes of the recent com mercial distress.

SEA-BRACH BREEZES.—Amongst other matters our author (Mr. Hosking, in his new " Guide") points out the injury done to visitors at watering-places by the discharge of the town drainage upon the much-fre quented sea-beach. "Ladies, with books or with needle work, and nurses with their charges, are apt to resort:to the propped-up and clean-looking round iron pipes for the convenience they offer as seats; and as they sit, they, and the children who play about them, inhale the poisonous gases which the soilage of the town emits, and many a family returns inland from the sea-side fevered with the stench at the sea-beach, rather than invigorated by the sea-breeses." The illness of all his own children, on one occasion, was thus caused.—Builder. BATAS AND WASHBOUSES FOR THE LABOURING CLASSES.—Yestorday a general meeting of the com mittee and subscribers to the above establishment was held at the Institution, in George-street, Euston-square. Lord Southampton in the chair. The report congratu lated the subscribers on the gratifying . results which had at t e nded the gl progress of the undertaking since the opening of the establishment on August 3,1846. The di rec tors of the New River Comp any , i n th e most liberal manne r, gratuitously gave the society the land for the present building, and for the first fourteen months gave the necessary supply of water, and for the succeeding twelvemonth have offered to continue it for 1001., and have, moreover, extended their grant of laud for the en largement of the establishment. There are forty-nine single baths for men, and thirteen for women ; eight vapour, and two swimming baths. Yet further accom modation is requisite, as on an average, in the warm weather, 800 daily bathe, and 200 or 300 are frequently refused admission from want of accommodation. Since the 3d of August, 1846, the bathers were 154,221 males and 15,206 females. The poor women who have washed, dried, ironed, and mangled the clothes of themselves and families were 45,124. The charge to a poor man or woman for a cold bath is one penny, and for a warm one, including use of towel, twopence, and for the washing department one penny per hour for the use of the drying closet, irons, and mangles, four hours for threepence. The balance sheet showed the donations and subscrip tions to amount to 5,0221. 3s. 6d. ; receipts from bathers, 2,887 I Is. Bd. ; expenses of the bui ldin g and incidentals left a balance of 161., which leaves a debt of 8741. I Is. for loan and liabilities. When the debt is entirely paid off, and the building completed it will n ot only be self supporting, but also self -extending- THE LATE ROBBERY BY A MAN OF PROPERTY A T BATH . — BATH, JAN. 11.--Alfred Buchanan, the gentleman shoplifter, who was found guilty at the city sessions on Friday, for stealing a purse and scent bottle ut the value of 6s. ad., the property of Frederick James Hamper, was brought up yesterday for judgment. The Recorder (Mr. Jardine) sentenced him to three months' g imprisonment with hard labour ed A, letter from the barony of Longford, in the county of Galway, says :-- i " • On Monday, the 10th of January, Mr. G. • Fitz gerald held his • first court as , licensing officer, at Lai t rencetown, when about eighty. persons applied for lice a ses, of whom twenty-three received licenses to carry • arms for their protection out of their houses. At p resent all persons are allowed to keep arms, i n their houses, without any license whatever. The inantity of arms in the possession of the peasantry in th a bdrony of Longford is immense, especially in those townlands along the rivers Shannon and Suck. On t he 11th inst. the licensing officer will attend at Eyre court to grant licenses. There is great difficulty in tl ie collection of poor -rates in parts of the Bali naslc .e union.

At twelve o'ciock the Master of the Rolls entered the Court of Chnocery, and sat for the purpose of adjourning the court to Thursday next, and it stands adjourned to that day. The Master of the Rolls sat at one o'clock, and proceeded to hear motions. At one o'clock Judge Crampton took his seat on the bench, and grand juries feor the county and city of Dublin having been sworn, His LORDSHIP briefly addressed each, saying, he would not detain them from the duties they had to discharge, as there was not any case on the calendar to which it was necessary for him to direct their attention. The Learned Judge was shortly after joined by his brethren, Judge Perrin and Judge Moore, who, on the present occasion, for the first time, ascended the judgment-seat. The COURT proceeded to hear motions, none of which possessed material interest for the general public. MURDERS AT CASTLETOWNROCHE. H E rr The Cork Examiner gives the following version of this tragic affair : " Information has reached the police of this city confirming the rumours of a horrible murder having been perpetrated in the village of Castletownroche. The deed was committed on the night of the 4th inst., though it was not discovered until two days later. It appears that the victims were two women, named Catherine M'Carthy and Mary Reynolds, aunt and niece. They kept a small lodging-house, and it was supposed that the aunt had accumulated a large sum of money. Some surprise was excited among the inhabitants to find that the house was shut for two days, and when no answer was given from the inside it was determined to break open the door. The in habitants were then found to have been both stran gled, and had been dead for a considerable time. A large quantity of property, consisting of blankets, sheeting, and some pieces of freize, was missed at the same time, and everything appeared in a state of con fusion. Suspicion of the crime fell upon two men who lodged there on the night of the 4th, and who it was thought had murdered the women, forming the whole household, in order to -get possession of the money the aunt was reputed to have. Active measure have since been taken for the deteetiou of the parties." THE POPE'S LAST LETTER TO ARCIIBISIIOP APIIALE. FRATRI REVERENDISSIMO AECIIILP. TVAM. PIVB rt. IX.

ASTRONOMICAL DISCOTERY.—It is announced that the astronomers of Pulkova have ascertained the exist ence of a third satellite of the planet Uranus. Herschel, the discoverer of this planet, thought to have perceived as many as six satellites revolving round the parent lu minary ; but astronomers had only succeeded in deter mining the orbit of two amongst them, and it may eves be doubted whether a trace of the others had ever been discovered. The discovery of a satellite which only oc cupies 94 hours in effecting its revolution round Uranus confirms a remarkable fact—amongst the four planes nearest the sun, the earth is the only one that yossesse: a satellite, whil st , the most remote several.
