The object of this Association Is totally to abolish the use of climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those employing them aro subjeeted by the 3d 'tad 4th Victoria, cap. SS, are continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im possibility in innameraiole cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with the old machine. For the latidaVie purpose of furthering the objects of tile law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the Inge alias and elective Ranseneur machine has been invented. This inventioa consists of four brushes forming a square head, which by means of elastic springs centraets oc expands, according to the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby creating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The rods attached to this head •r brash are supplied at intervals with universal spring joints, capable if taming even a right angle and the whole i surmounted with a double revolviag ball, haying also a universal s spring jetzt, which leads the brush with certainty put every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its mate most perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated by the fact, that it is exclusively used in the Government and amorous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry in continuing their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors.

Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. In order that it may be really the cause if mutual happiness. Could the yell, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, is how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always isjurions ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, incenses, when abused, the prolific source of mischief. and of greater or less injury is tba constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses. on ,he nature and cOnsequee, , , s „,, to ciliate. are productive of greater severity of misery te the human iramie, than any ether to which it is Subject. This work contains au accurate and complete account of tie anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and if their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest atteation and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities •f which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim if excessive indulgence and 'vicious habits, whether acquired In early life or hem the follies of advanced age, wills tittering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a wailed physician fir relief. Shame and the dread se frequeatly, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict hint and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone It can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, lava riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and te the medical max who can skew by his posse•=sien of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled te esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas as and the great extent of his practice for many years is m a guarantee for his professional experienee, which has reference airiest solely te the treatment of these diseases.

The statute of Henry was restored in the reign of Queen Elizabeth ; but the construction placed on that statute, on which the Crown relies, by the legislators of Edward VI., seems conclusive : it runs thus :—that, " whereas the said elections be ix very deed no elections, but only by a writ of conge d'elire, have colours, shadows, or pretences, of elections, serving, nevertheless to no purpose, and seeming also derogatory an d prejudicial to the King's prerogative-royal, to whom alone appertaineth the collation and gift of Archbishops, Bishops, &c., it is enacted that henceforth no conge d'llire be granted, nor election by the Dean and Chapter be made, but the King, by his letters patent, may collate, Sm." You know that this is done as to Irish Bishops still ; and, in case of refractory Deans and Chapters, may be resorted to in this country. On the whole, there is not a shadow of fear, that the Tractarian movement can be productive, in this matter, of anything but disturbance, which is their object.—Church and State Gazette. Tan ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. --It is proposed by Messrs. Brett, of Hanover-square, to establish an inter national communication, vii Dover and Calais, by their Printing Eleetrio Telegraph; the English and French Governments have conceded grants to the projectors, and it is understood that the French Minister of the In terior, M. Duchatel, expressed an ardent desire for the fulfilment of the undertaking, and liberally promised to give it his cordial support. The experiments made with this Printing Electric Telegraph on land hare been at a distance of 146 miles between the points of communi cation, and are said to have been performed with the same rapidity and certainty as at a distance of only a few feet. SUPPOSED MURDER REAR SumrroLD.—Great sensation has prevailed in Sheffield during the former part of this week, in consequence of the death of George Marsden, blacksmith, between 60 and 7 0 years of age, whose body was found on Monday morning last, at the bottom of a coal-pit, called the Deep Pit, at the " Intake," about two miles from Sheffield, belonging to the Sheffield Coal Company. He was supposed to have been first robbed of his money and watch, and afterwards thrown into the pit. He left the New Inn, Shales Meor ; a little after one o'clock oa Sunday morning 1 this is said to be the last place at which he was seen alive. On Sunday morning a man and boy went down the pit, to see if all was right, as usual, and stumbled over the body. His head was literally crushed to pieces, and in deed every part of his body presented a most frightful spectacle, which it naturally would do, considering that the pit is 101 yards deep. An inquest was commenced on Tuesday, and adjourned. INTERESTING DISCOVERY OP ANTIQUE RELICS IN THE ClTY.—Yesterday as the workmen were engaged in excavating in Tower-street, at the corner of Rood lane, for the purpose of making a new sewer, after penetrating to the depth of about eight feet, they came suddenly upon some human remains. There was no vestige of coffin of any kind. Close to the bones an an cient vase was discovered, similar to those exhumed at Pompeii and Herculaneum, but which unfortunately was broken by the pickaxe, and so complete was its demoli tion that it would be ♦ery difficult to reconstruct it. Several pieces of copper or brass were likewise found. It is not improbable, as these remains lay at so great a depth below the surface, that some Roman was here in the line of the ancient Watling-street committed to the earth. HEALTH OF TOWNE IMPROTEILENT.—A public meeting of the inhabitants of Worcester was held in the Guildhall yesterday afternoon. Many of the clergy and medical gentlemen of the city were among those present. The object of the meeting was to support the intro duction of any measures of sanitary reform which might be brought before the Legislature. Several resolutions to this effect were passed. Prince Louis Napoleon has arrived in town froze► visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry at L Wynyard Park.

Till last year, the eve of such an event was as merry os the eve of Christmas or New Year. There was always a treat in store, the only question 'being a choice of agreeables. Sir Robert, like a benevo lent grandpapa, or rather like Will Honycomb, sur rounded by a posse of holiday folks, presided over the Christmas tree, and alternately soothed and tantalized the youthful expectants. 'ift7 voices exclaimed, " What am I to have ?" " Wait, wait," cried out the distributor of blessings. " All in good time." 'To the simpler sort he said, " Open your mouths and shut your eyes ;" and, accordingly, a bonbon or a plum rewarded their amiable confidence. For the elder juveniles, and particularly where a little penchant was confessed, more substantial compliments were prepared. Will Honycomb had his favourites. When he played at blindmah's buff, and was in vested in his turn with one at least of the attributes of justice, it somehow or other always came to pass that his equitable fingers pounced on a certain laughing young damsel, herself not more likely to be caught than the rest of ,the crowd. Sir Robert also had his clue through the devious mazes of the game. The light step and joyous giggle of free trade be trayed that coy nymph to a sagacious and per severing suitor. So at each'. new budget we all knew pretty well the general character of what was to come. But, alas 1 those days, " the days when we went gipsying," are kone. There is a tide in taxation, as in all other human affairs. We are now at the ebb. The turn was last year, when there was neither remission nor imposition of taxes. This year, if we are to practice common prudence, and set an example worthy ok a great commercial nation, we must begin to lay on. But how to lay on is the question. It is A - matter of great soientifio ' interest to the statesman, and of no less practical im portance to the public. We have to consider not merely how much the public Can manage to pay— how much it can bear without sinking to the earth or throwing off its burden altogether, but how much it can carry with the least possible hinderance to its activity and power. A strong man has bten made to stand upright with 2,0001 b. judiciously distributed over his frame ; but then he could not move. Once disturb the equilibrium, and he would instantly have been crushed under:his manifold incumbrancea. In like manner the public is not a row of Caryatides standing under a ponderous architrave. As the turnpike man said of John Gilpin— "He rides a race, be carries weight, 'Tis for a thousand pound." The great secret of judicious taxation is to lay it en without hampering the strain of the muscle and the play of the limb. Half a century of rather severe experiments has served to enlighten us on this point. Relieving as much as possible the industry of the country, the materials of trade, and the prime neces saries of life, we have transferred the burden to the broad shoulders of property. Luxury meanwhile we have left under its wholesome and profitable incum brances. The labourer can just exist without either direct or evident contribution to the national fund; but if he aspires to his glass of ale and his pipe, or his wife to her coffee or tea, they pay no inconsiderable quota to the Treasury. Eschewing the usual divi sion of taxes into direct and indirect, we have just indicated three subjects of taxation. L The raw materials of life or manufacture. 2. Luxuries and comforts. 3. Property. The first of these we have renounced altogether. No one out of Bedlam would propose again to enhance the food of millions or clog the operations of trade. As for luxuries, the present condition of our working classes is not such as to warrant any tax which should put their few comforts not only out of reach, but almost beyond hope. Nor is commerce itself se prosperous as to bear heavier tolls. Speaking of superfluities, whether exotic or domestic, in the general, and without reference to exceptional cases, if any can be shown, we must say that the great body of the British people have not yet their share. Pro perty and the luxuries of the wealthier classes are the third alternative of taxation. It is evident that they ere the most capable of bearing an accession of bur den. But an income tax is a war tax. It can only he justified on the greatest emergencies, and can only be borne with the hope of speedy remission. So we have often said, and so we still say. When the tax was laid on six years sinee we well knew the Old Man of the Sea the nation was taking on its shoulders. Three years since we could only .+ +ha amomnoement of another lease for that period. It has now become customary and inveterate. Moreover there is no choice. This is a time of war. We have had war with the elements, and been terribly worsted. Eight millions fought with famine. We had to ransack the earth for the means of resistance. A commissariat of 12,000 men provisioned the host and directed the operations. Enormous debt and difficulty were incurred. A hundred thousand werfleft dead on the field of that bloodless but awful conflict, and a quarter of a million fugitives disappeared. This is war. If ever there was a case for levying direct contributions on pro perty, there is now. Unhappily, war in its more literal sense is not yet obsolete. If the lapse of a generation has effaced Waterloo from the plastic memory of England, that untoward incident is not altogether forgotten elsewhere. A great nation before very long will be released from the spell of its Prospero, aid if it does not threaten the malice of Caliban its forbearance is at least net to be answered for. Unwelcome prudence suggests, that though we may not absolutely augment our defences, we should at all events make them really equal to their reputed and nominal complement. To be only as strong as we profess to be, we must submit to some increase of expenditure. Again, under the pressure of the times and the financial reductions of our late and present Ministers, we are suffering " deficiency." There is no mincing or disguising the matter. Famine, pes tilence, defalcation, and war constitute no ordinary crisis. We must admit the necessity, and can hardly repudiate the title, of a war tax. The difficult and almost inexplicate question of Property versus In come, the infinite gradations of alienable and inalien able possessions, fee simple and life interests, we pass at present all the more readily because public curiosity appears to have taken another direction. The problem of the day is, " How to tax a house ?" We can only state the conditions of the inquiry. Find a house tax which shall not offer a premium to gratuitous discom fort and unhealthiness by making light and air costly ; that shall not encourage imprudence ; that shall not be sometimes a virtual impost on trade. The first is the evil of the window tax. The second of the duty on insurance. The third would be the result o f an ad valorem house tax. There are no practical difficulties in the way of the last, and it would pro bably be a palatable substitute for the two former. The valuations arid machinery of collection exist. The great drawback is one of imagination rather than fact, but it is not an inconsiderable one. It is a repealed tax, and in this progressive country we particularly object to being revisited by the ghosts of old annoy ances. It is, indeed, generally thought that had the choice between the house .and the window tax been fairly propounded, and had it not been fully expected one was sure to follow the o th er, t h e coun t ry wou ld hare preferred the house to the window tax. This, however, but little affects that English prejudice against revival of taxation which not even the ex ample of the income tax can soften. There is the difficulty, which it is easi er t o state than remove. CHRONICLE. —The Government a n d the people of France are both in a strange quandary what to do with A.bd•el-Kader. They find, with a certain amaze• ment, tkat there is one subject on which, notwithstand ing all their bickerings, they are pretty much of one would, at:the present moment, so accord. gratify both Government and Nothing people as the Arab making - up his mind to chieftain's good-humou.redly remnant of his days in spend the /a belle France. A voluntary offer on his part to ad opt t h at reso l u ti on wo uld save them a world of anxiety. The dilemma the Government are in is actually a hideous one. If they let Abd•el-I(ader go, their r oya l mas t er w ill never forgive them for what he will regard as a most contemptible wea kness on their p ar t . If, on the ot h er hand, they forcibly detain him, they make light of the authority, and throw a stain upon the honour, of the Due d'Aumale, which it is i mposs ibl e t h a t h e should not resent. One of the —ring' s sons h as a l rea d y resigned the command with which he was in vested, from a pique, as it is cre dibl y asser t e d. The discontent of the Due d'Auniale may vent itself in the same manner; the more readily from his not perceiving any other method of cleari ng hi mse lf f ro m vo unrily all stain of having participated in the deceit to which be has been made accessory. And the motives to this line of conduct will be the more dou , bt but it was Abd-el- Kader'surgent, as there can be reliance on the Dukes Power, as the King's against all int er f erence t h e p l e d ge son, to make good ag ain which he soleinnly gave, that induced him to sur render himself. At the time of the Prince's appoint ment, one of the principal justific a ti ons a ll ege d i n it s favour 14 the Dibats was the inexpressible reverence which the Arabs entertain for the kingly name and blood of power. We ridiculed at the time the pomp ous parade our contemporary made of such a motive for so grave an act as we considerev,l that appointment to b e . sw e acknowledge, however, that our contem porary was better informed than we were as to the policy which the French Government intended to pursue in Africa. We admit our sagacity failed us. It would never have entered our heads to suspect, until the event developed itself, what it was that a prince of the blood was wanted in Africa for. Now all the world knows it. The French Ministry has indeed to deal with a third difficulty, scarcely less menacing than. the . other two. Should they brave the father's anger, save the son's honour, and let their captive—we beg pardon —their guest depart, they will be liable, at any future period, to the severest censure for not taking proper precautions for the eureeillance of their fallen foe, wherever he may take up his abode. Whether they will not be censured also for leaving the Disc d'Aumale full liberty of action as regarded a contingency which was sufficiently probable to be provided for beforehand, we do not undertake to foretell. There can be no doubt but the Duke con sidered he was fully empowered to make the promise he did. Nor have the Ministry, or their supporters, dared as yet to allege that he was not. The dilemma of the French people is scarcely less embarrassing than that of their Government. They share, perhaps, the error of the Ministry, in not perceiving how utterly worn out and wasted are the sources of that national resistance on the part of the Arabs which, so long as they remained to him, Abd-el-Kader com bined and headed with such incomparable skill and resolution. Though, we take it, the hero's submission is in itself the strong est proof that he considered that is Algeria all was lost to the cause of which he had been so long the forlorn hope. But the French people have seen so much blood and treasure lavished for the sake of what they fondly call the " union of France and Africa," that whether they keep Abd-el-Kader under lock and key themselves, or make Mehemet Ali deputy , gaoler they will never be easy in their minds so long as he lives. They are, therefore, naturally anxious to keep him sure and quiet under their own eyes. But then, to do the French people justice, they do not wish to purchase the comfortable knowledge that Abd-el-Kader is under lock and key with any glaring sacrifice of the national honour, which of course the Due d'Aumale pledged in the fullest sense, at the moment that he pledged his own. Even were the national honour not in question, we doubt if they would like to see the worthy young Prince's self respect and integrity thus trampled on. We render our sincere testimony to the force and dignity of the remonstrances which the most independent of the French press have ad dressed to the Government, both as regards their hesitation to keep faith with Abd-el-Kader, and for their ignominious treatment of him since he has set foot on the shores of France. Still if M. Guizot could succeed in intimidating Abd-el-Kader into an apparently voluntary surrender of the promise made him, though the Minister would got little thanks or credit for it, it would be welcomed as a fortunate solution of a difficulty which presses heavily upon the national heart. The hollowness and heartlessness of such an arrangement, if it could be come to, would no doubt be acutely felt, and sternly reprobated by individuals peculiarly sensitive to the national honour. But the mass of the nation would take a different view of it, and good-naturedly attribute the change in Abd-el-Kader's intentions to precisely the last motive that would be likely to influence him. And this brings us to a trait of the French people, of which the simplicity and bonhommie might indeed disarm the most rigid criticism. They account for the solicitude of the Government to get Abd-el-Kader to Paris in a way which appears to them the most natural possible. They say—their journals literally say for them:—" Only get him to Paris, and the difficulty will settle itself. Once in Paris, Abd -el. Kader will know what France is, and never wish to live any where else. Once bring this Arab of the desert within sight of the terrestial paradise and our most deadly foe will become our firmest friend, or at least our voluntary and contented guest." Was there ever such a touching simplicity ? The Neapolitan proverb is, " See Naples, and then die." The French version of it ought to be—" See Paris, and then, if you can, endure to live anywhere else." The hallu cinations, to this time, which are at present busy in millions of French heads, may be taken as setting at rest one question much debated of late. A people who believe that the enmity of a man and a hero like Abd-el-Kader could be mollified by a certain quan tum of Parisian amenities—to whom it seems quite plausible that he should of his own accord prefer to spend the rest of his life among those to whom he and his eov , e owe their ruin —are obviously qu ite ignoram, um. -.I ‘• Lord Ellesmere must have been wholly mistaken in attributing to them any feelings of national jealousy and hereditary hate and revenge, either towards the English, or towards any other people. FIRE ON BOARD THE VICEROY STEAMER, AND GALLANT CONDUCT OF TWO OF HER MEN. Extract of a letter dated Stranraer, Jan. 19, 1848, received at Lloyd's : " The steamer reported so hurriedly last night as being on fire, was the Viceroy, from Glasgow to Dublin with goods and passengers. When abreast of Cornwall, the ceiling of the cabin got ignited from the over. heating of the stove pipe, and in an inconceivably short time, the whole cabin was in flames, and before it was got under, all abaft the aftermast bulkhead was totally consumed With the cabin furniture of all sorts, and a good deal of the passengers' luggage ; indeed, some of them lost all that they had. The passengers are all of opinion, that they owe their safety to the gallant conduct of two brave fellows who stuck to the wheel in the midst of the flames, until they were severely burnt. I trust such heroism and devotion to duty will not go unrewarded, as was the case of the helmsman of the Clydesdale,* who wag crippled for life in a similar state, and who ultimately died a beggar in the streets of Glasgow, to the ever lasting disgrace of Scotchmen. " The captain; and all hands are represented as having done their duty well, in which they were ably assisted by the gentlemen cabin passengers, includ ing all on board except some few half-starved Irish deck passengers, who refused to do anything. " The Viceroy has left for the Clyde. The day is very fine, and no doubt she will arrive safe. Had she not been an iron vessel, all would have been over with her, and probably many of the passengers would have gone with her. The late regulation as to boats is a mere farce—they have no doubt the stipulate" number, but what is their size ? This vessel had not boats to carry, with any safety, one-half of the crew and passengers on board." * The act of self• devotion, above briefly alluded to by the writer, was one of surpassing gallantry, forti tude, and self-sacrifice. The person spoken of was, we believe, a Clyde pilot, who, half-burnt to a cinder in several parts of his person, his eye-sight almost gone, yet nobly risked his own life to save the lives of those on board. This he effected, but was maimed for life. A subscription in his behalf was got up by some persons in Scotland, who appreciated his bravery and lamented the sacrifice, but it met with but partial success, and the amount was insufficient to maintain him with the com mon necessaries of life. Jiwisu FORBEARANCL—In 1569, Don Joseph, who held a prominent employment at the Court of Con stantinople, denounced one of his co-religionists, who had robbed aid betrayed him. The culprit fled, but the community outlawed him, and the synod of Rabbins ex communicated him. Some years afterwards the outcast, a prey to repentance, sought Don Joseph, who pardoned him ; but the religious tribunal would not revoke the interdict, nor sanction his return to the synagogue. He then addressed himself to Rabbi Judah Algasy, whose talents and character commanded universal respect. This worthy Rabbi thus wrote to the Beth-din (religious tribinal):—" My dear brethren;a contrite and repentant sinner claims my support and influence with you; and I hasten to grant it to him, for it is painful to think that the condemned must remain all his life riveted to the chains of banishment. It is indeed too cruel to say to this man that his plague is incurable, and that his suffer ings can only cease with his life. Besides, this would be excluding from the repentant all hope of return, and constraining sinners :to persevere in the path of evil. Ministers of a merciful God weep for those who fall into the abyss of sin, and are there engulphed; and we should never refuse a hand to those who seek to escape. Re pentance is a second innocence, which is entitled to the acceptance of man, and meets the pardon of God." The members of the sacred synod understood the noble lesson embodied in these words, and annull ed their decree. — Bee Levi's 7'ales. THB DETACHED FORTS FOR THE CONTROL OF PARIS.—The Courrier de la &Ohs contains the follow ing on the armament of the forts of Par is :— " The forts of Charenton, Nogent , an d St. Denis have directly received their materiel of artillery , from Rennes, and no portion of it has been conveyed to Bourges. A few days ago, four waggons laden with gun carriages and wheels, for the fortification of Paris, passed through our town. The National de P Ouest positively affirms that the guns, hitherto intended for the defence of the Atlantic coast, had been carried to Paris. The northern journals have likewise denounced the remova l to Paris of numerous pieces of artillery cast at Douai. There is not a single direction of artillery, to our knowledge, that has not sup plied its contingent for the armament of the fortifications of Paris, and, in presence of those facts of public noto riety, when there does not exist a single piece at Bourges, a general officer, who had become popular by his fidelity to Napoleon in exile, has presumed to declare, from the tribune of the Chamber of Peers, that the law re specting the armament of the Parisian citadels has been executed." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 21.—A squadron of armed steam-vessels, to consist of twelve of various sizes and power, is ordered to be assembled at Portsmouth and kept ready for service. They are each to have two engineers, six stokers, and ten seamen, with the usual warrant officers, on hoard. An inspector of steam machinery afloat is to be appointed to kee p the engines, &c., in order, and it is expected that Com mander Starmer, who brought ,the llecla to England from the Mediterranean, will be the naval officer placed in charge of them, and will communicate with the Commander in-Chief and other official persons as to what may be required to keep them in efficient order. It appears these twelve steamers are to be sent round from Woolwich and Sheerness, and are in ad dition to the Centaur, Cyclops, Gorgon, Retribution, and others, now in the port. Her Majesty's brigs Sappho and Orestes are to be got ready for service. They will be completed by the dockyard artificers in a few days, and join the other experimental vessels to be commissioned in February. The Prin ce R egen t, 90, C a pt a i n W. F.

She has received a mizenmast, but, as she is but a small vessel, and no alteration has been made in the disposition of her mainmast, the effect is the extreme of unsightliness. The Sharpshooter, iron screw steam-vessel of 200 horse power, built on the design of Mr. Fincham, the master shipwright of this dockyard, is alongside the Pitt hulk, ready rigged as a brigantine, and apparently only in want of officers and men to be ready for a commissioned trial. The Leander, 50, just finished building on the design of Mr. Blake, late master shipwright of this dockyard, is now ready for floating out of dock. The third building slip under the galvanized iron roofing is now ready for use, and the dock adjoining is progressing very fairly towards completion. The Plumper, auxiliary screw-sloop, is very rapidly proceeding towards readiness for launching. The Arrogant, 46, auxiliary screw-frigate, remains alongside the above in stain quo. The Princess Royal, 90, is again assuming the ap pearance of an intended ship. Her midship frame timbers are up again, and she is otherwise getting on, evidently with an intention of perfecting her this time. The Royal Frederick, 110, alongside of the above, appears ready for launching. In Harbour—The' Victory, 104, flagship of Ad miral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., Commander-in-Chief, in want of a few hands • the Excellent, gunnery-ship, Captain Chads, C.B , also in want of men ; the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.C.8.; the Prince Regent, 90, Capt.

In Dock—The Ajax, 56, steam-guardship, re ceiving her machinery, and fitting for commission ; the Leander, 50, finished building; the Orestes, 18, refitting; the Sappho, 16, ditto; the Fairy, royal yacht, to receive new boilers, &c. ; the Undine, to receive new tubes to her boilers, new funnel, new composition on her bottom, &c.; and the Dee, stu dents' steam-vessel, for sundry improvements. In the Basin—The Britannia, 120, to be rigged ; the Retribution, steam-frigate, of 800 horse-power, to be rigged as an advanced steamer, ready for service on short notice ; the Kite, steam-vessel, Acting Master Commander Balliston, being fitted as a tug for service at Bermuda dockyard; the Swallow and Rocket, steamers.

It is proposed to make some alterations forward. Her figure-head is removed. The Sealark, 10 guns, Commander Monypenny, was to have sailed on the 24th inst., but, owing to some alterations required, she will remain some days longer at this port: The Hercules, store-ship, is ready to go out of dock; her bottom has been newly coppered, and the coppering was completed yesterday. The Hermes, steam-sloop, is completed in every department, and she is quite ready for being commis sioned. The Goodwill, Pledge master, sailed on the 20th instant, with stores for the Woolwich and Deptford yards. A court-martial has been held on board the Poic tiers, ordinary guard-ship, at this port, of which Cap tain-Superintendent Price, of the Ganges, was presi dent, and ➢ir. George Essell, solicitor, of Rochester, deputy judge-advocate, for the trial of Henry Buck stad, an able seaman belonging to the Ocean, for desertion ; and, evidence having been given of a former desertion against the prisoner, the Court found him guilty, and sentenced him to twelve weeks im prisonment with hard labour, the two last weeks to be solitary. ____ --..- 2 2- - c %Z--, s j , t -,*--". • . , "N ; DIA Cli AND FLAN iRS M.

SOCIALISM IN BELGIU3Ii.--An association of the followers of Fourrier has just been established at Brussels, under the patronage of persons velio are well known, and several of whom are invesied with an official character. Lists of persons wishin g ' to promote this plan are in circulation, and have alreae h r been signed by hundreds of persons. The object it to establish a regular Phalanstere in Flanders or La Cutnpine this summer. About twenty French per sons, and as many Americans, intend to join our ultra-progressionists, to form a nalansterienne com munity of 1,000 to 1,400 individuals of both sexes in our provinces. The names of the leading- parties are already made known. The most remarkable feature in this movement is, that the names of several magis• trates and public functionaries appear on the sub scription lists. The following is the project of law laid before the Senate, as the effective of the land army of Greece :- Ist, Tetrarchies of the phalanx, 389 men; ,2d, in fantry, 3,489 ; 3d, cavalry, 224 ;;4th, artillery; and arsenal, 482 ; sth, engineering, 51 ; Gth, mounted gensdarmes, 165;, gensdarmes, 1,224; 7th, troops of the frontier, 2,650 ; Bth, commandants, 80 ; 9th, military school hospitals, 24; 10th, military schools, 41 ; 11th, commissioners of military economy; 12th, tribunals of war, 9 ; 13th, companies of invalids, 157—total, 9,160. GRAND Ducur or HESSE.—The subscritions for the erection of a Hall of Commerce is going on most encouragingly. Shares of five florins (to be repaid), and voluntary donations and annual subscriptions, in the course of twelve days only, amount to 7,500 florins. [PRICE 3D. HAMBURGEL—CUXHAVEN, JAN. 15.—This after noon six vessels appeared in sight, and the steamer Harriet, has been dispatched to tow them into har bour, as the harbour is:now free from ice ;:the ice in:the Channel is drifting northward, and these vessels will be able to enter safely this evening. Wind S. BREMERHAVEN, JAN. 15.—The galley which we reported in sight, in our last number, is now blocked up by the ice at Hohervreg, and aid was sent to her yesterday. At Oelplate a ship without masts is hemmed in by the ice. There is still a good deal of ice in the channel. Wind S.W. The ice at Kohl , brand is so firm and strong, that a luggage waggon belonging to the railway, laden with, goods, and drawn by six horses, passed over the ice from Hamburgh to Harhurgh a few days ago. • ST. PETERSBURGII, JAN. 6.—The weather to-day is only 9 degrees, although for several days it has been at 20 degrees. COPENHAGEN, JAN. 10.—The wind has beenlE. and N. to-day. The thermometer is from 2 deg. and 4 deg. The ice covers the river from Lollbunde to the Torheck Reef as far as we can see. The chan nel appears to be still navigable. No ships had ar rived here for some days, and sledges have com menced running from the interior to the battery of Fesconer. GOTIIENBURGII, JAN. 7.—The brig Humber, from Hull, laden with cotton, has been wrecked off the Orkneys, and the greater part of the cargo destroyed. —Jan. 8.

THE MODEL MAID-OF-ALL-WORK Her age is fourteen. Her arms are bare, and her feet slipshod. Her curls are rarely out of paper] She sports a clean apron on the Sunday, about tea time. It is a mystery where she sleeps ; some say the kitchen, in one of the large drawers ; and others declare she has a turn-up bed in the hall-clock ; but it is not known, for positive whether she ever goes to bed at all. She has a wonderful affection for the cat. Everything that is missed, or lost, or broken, or not eaten, she gives unhesitatingly to him. She is not fond of the drawing-room, but has a good-natured partiality of the garret, who sings funny songs, and gives her occasionally an order for the play. She takes her dinner whilst washing the dishes, and never gets her breakfast till all the floors have done with the one teapot. She tries very hard to answer five ' bells at once, and in despair answers none. She always forgets the mustard, and prefers blowing the fire with her mouth instead of the bellows. Her hands will not bear minute inspection ; and no wonder, for she is cleaning boots, or washing, or cooking dinners, all day long. She carries coals in a. dustpan, hands bread on a fork, and wipes plates with her apron. She is abused by everybody, and never gets a holiday. She only knows it is Sunday by the lodgers stopping in bed later than usual, and having twice as many dinners to cook. She is never allowed to go out, excepting to fetch beer or tobacco. She hears complaints without a murmur, and listens_ is to jokes without a smile. She gets 61. year, n expected to wait on about tw ent y persons, d . o the to d work of five servants, to love all the children n the house, a nd to be honest f or the mone y . It is not known ' what becomes of the model maid-of-all-work in her old age. It is believed, however, that she sinks into the charwoman at the age of twenty. Land ladies, be gentle to her !—Punch. MARINE SOCIETY .—A general quarterly meeting of this society, established for the equipment, main tenance, and instruction of distressed boys for the Royal Navy, Indian navy, merchant service, and the fisheries, was held yesterday, at the office of the institution, Bishopagate-street ; Sir C. Malcolm in the chair. There were present, Lord 11. Cholmondeley, General Caulfield, Admiral Hope, Mr. Ricardo, &c. By lithe Secretary's 1 report it appeared that the income for the quarter ending Dec. 31, 1847, was 2,2331. The expenditure less by a balance of 921. During the past quarter 84 boys had been sent to sea in the Royal Naval, merchant, and East India services, making, with the number sent out in the previous quarter, a total of 183. The Secretary begged to read a letter rom Lord Auckland, First Lord of the Admiralty, stating that though he avoided as much as possible presiding at public dinners, still, approving as he did of the objects of that society, ho would willingly take the chair at the annual dinner which was to bo given for the augmentation of its funds. Thanks haying been voted to the Gallant Chairman, the meeting separated. The Suisse of Berne, of the 15th, has the follow ing :—" According to a letter from Friburg, th Council has adopted the proposition of3l. Glaae Grand son, by which the authors and abettors of the Sonderbund, e mbers of the o a mongst whom are the bishop and t thorn ° a nother forced clergy, are to have imposed up on ho The m convents which loan of 1,600,000 Swiss firms. have not a fixed mission are to be secularized. The clergy are to be placed under the of T th h e e their State, which is to administer p e p) . y ten forced The p ear ro t which the State w ill p a y 3 p the convents is to be devoted to the support of schools, hospitals, and other objects of public utility. It is added that, according to M. Glasson's proposition, the principal authors of the separate league are to be exiled tor two years, after which they will bo permitted to return on applying for pardon." From a postscript to this letter, however, it would appear that the Grand Council had not adopted the whole of M. Glasson's proposition. The Suisse promises to give the details of the division which had been come to. THE LAST AND THE BEST.—A correspondent of the New York Spirit of the Times has the following:— A chap, walking out, came across " Old Mose" sitting in the broiling sun, fishing. " Well, Mose," says he, " what in the world are you doing there?" " Puffin." " What?" " Fiffin." " Fishing! well, what's the rea soa you can't talk ? what's in your month ?" " Oh, nuffin but wums for bait!" Mr. T. CooKE.—We regret to state that this emi nent musician has been a long time ill, but rejoice to hear that he is much better, and pronounced by his me; dical attendants out of danger. TEA DUTIES. We regret to learn that Lord John Russell has announced in a letter to our representative, Mr. Cardwell, that the Government will not or catpla reduce the exorbitant duty on tea at the Tfesent time. The following is a copy of a communication addressed to the Mayor, by Mr. Cardwell, on the subject : " Whitehall Gardens, Jan. 19th, 1848. "My dear Sir,—l have this morning received a reply from Lord John Russell to my note, requesting an appointment for the Liverpool deputation upon the subject of the duty on tea. " His Lordship expresses his readiness to see the deputation, if it is generally wished ; but goes on to observe, that there has been already more than one deputation on the subject, and that he has been in formed of all the prominent points of the casw; and adds, however willing he might be to reduce that duty, the state of the revenue will not permit it in the present year. " His Lordship concludes by expressing his wish that I would suggest to the gentlemen of the depu tation that no advantage can result from their in terview. "Believe me, my dear " E Sir, DW. very f CARDWaithfully yNoursLL, . " The Mayor, Liverpool." The deputation waited on Lord John Russell on Wednesday (as we have already stated), when the reduction of the duty was enforced by several gentle men, after which Lord John Russell answered in substance, that the G o vernment would very be g l a d to reduce the duty on tea, but that it was a question of revenue. It should have the consideration of her Majesty's Ministers. Liverpool Times. STOURBRIDGE.—THE MINING DISTRICTS. —We regret to state that a large proportion of the colliers and men employed at the furnaces and iron works of the dis trict are still out. Almost daily blast furnaces are blown out for want of mine and coal. At several works at tempts at compromise have been made. The original notices were for a reduction of twenty per cent., but, in most cases. the masters have offered to accept a re duction of ten per cent. The offer has not in any case (that we are aware of) been accepted; and, were it not for the collieries worked by. Lord Ward being at work, the supply of coals even for household purposes could not be obtained. The agents of Lord Ward have not given notice of a reduction, and consequently are at work, and contribute to the support of the men out on strike. This, in addition to the funds belonging to the union, will in all probability, enable the men to hold out for some time. At a meeting of the coal trade held yesterday (Tuesday), at the Talbot Inn, Stourbridge, it was unanimously agreed that a reduction of ls. per ton upon coal, and 6d. per ton on all slack, except fine, which remains as before, should take place f rom the Ist of January. 1848.
