These Engines are carried by hand and placed immediately where they can assail the main source of the fire at close quarters, to the grewest advantages ; when they deliver their whole uniform streams of water directly into the dames with unerring certainty and such surprising impetuosity. that the fires are banged out before the common engines can be brought into action. If the engine lever be worked briskly with one hand, and the delivery pipe pointed at a window 10 feet distance with the other hand, it will show how furiously, steadily, and irre sistibly the little fire destructor combats and conquers the terrific foe. Engines elegant, durable, and complete in Brass 61. 16s. each. N.B. There is not yet in existence a good fire-engine upon a large scale. At Alderman Butcher's fire the Patent Parish Puinp filled 12 large pails with water per minute, deli `.(ring at the rate of 50 and the two Engines 30 barrels per hour. But with the former Parish Pump (which was one of The best brass lift-force pumps of the London made trash) not 1 6 barrels an hour could have been raised, and probably the games would bare gained the ascendancy.

SHALDERS' PATENT PUMP. At a Vestry Meeting held at St. Michael's at Plea, Nor- April 2Etth, 1842, the Parishioners unanimously con rpiatulated Mr. Shalders upon having, last May, fitted the parish up with an efficient, permanent, economical, and in- variable Pump (60 feet in length). It was rightly remarked, that although the water delivered by the former Pump was com. to may !wanly cloudy, th a t d e li vere d b y the present one has been uni clear, and raised with half the labour.

Norwich, Saturday, May 28, 1842. nUTCHER and SON beg to return their most grateful thank s to those friends and neighbours who so kindly and Promptly rendered them their assistance to extinguish the Fire on their Premises on Wednesday last. And the, likewise take this opportunity particularly to re commend Mr. Shalders' Portable Fountain Engine, which was found su efficient in preserving their premises from total de struction. Queen .stritet, May 26- Ti EMARKS OF THE EDITOR OF THE " NORFOLK C HRONICLE," ON VIEWING THE PREMISES AFTER THE FIRE:— "About half-past one o'clock on Wednesday morning the Premises of Mr. Butcher, grocer, Bank-plain, were discovered to b e o n fi re b y t h e n i ght watch, who gave the alarm and called Mr. Butcher up. It was at first difficult to discover in the d ark what part of the premises was on fi re . M r . B u t c he r thought that it originated at his neighbour's house, hut going ;11) to the top of his premises he perceived where it was ; when he came down and opened the door of his store-room over the back part of his shop, the fire and smoke burst forth so violently that he could scarcely stand on his feet. It appears that the ore had originated in this store-room directly over a paper loft, but how, its impossible to tell. Mr. Sheders, from over the '", 4 7, immedi a t e ly b roug ht two o f hi s eng i nes , by means o f which Mr. Butcher attributes his house being saved • and per 'l'o the Whole street, for there being a good dea l of gnn- Powder on the premises, had this ignited the consequences would have been awful. Notwithstanding the natural agita tion Occasioned by the near prospect of danger from fire, Mr. A'ntcher himself removed the gunpowder from the premises, a nd, most of the goods from the warehouse and shop were brought out and deposited for safety in St. Michael's at Plea .."'nrob. The engine from the Guildhall was o n the spot - "'nitt a few minutes of the first alarm being given, but it impossible to bring this into play for some time, as the water was not turned on ; but in the meanwhile Sbalders' engines (Mr. S. working one and his brother t ,.."0 other) were su ppli e d with buckets full of water from t ,r,Pomp near at hand. Mr. M. Yarington and his men ac t ed I; 4 ' much energy and promptitude. Mr. Steel , M r . Plummer, lialdeis, and others of Mr. Butcher's neighbours, were roost zealous in their services. In about an hour and a half all danger was removed. Mr. Butcher is, we understand, insured to the Norwich Equitable Office. The delay which appears to have occurred in furnishing the e ngines with water on the above alarming occasion, impera- P elY demands the immediate attention of the proper authori ties. If the New Mills Company's works are the main public ttarce of supply, some arrangements should be made for the !We sure and speedy turning on the water into the pipes ; or the city will sooner or later rue the consequences.] BY THE EDITOR OF THE "NORWICH MERCURY." On Wednesday morning, about half-past one o'clock, a fire w as discovered in the house of Mr. Butcher, grocer, Bank by the watchman on duty. Mr. B. immediately rose, and after examining his premises found it had taken place in a store-room situated over the warehouse. On the alarm being given, Mr. Shalders attended with his patent fountain engines, and after great exertions the fire was extinguished before any serious consequences had taken place. There is not the 'lightest doubt that this fire would have been attended with a great log had it not been for the fountain pump, and it was e ntirely by that and the exertions of Mr. Shalders that the fire was so promptly extinguished, it being an hour and ten minutes before the engines could be got into play ; and at the time the fi re was discovered the whole store-room was in flames, for on 'IT.

The Premiums are payable Yearly, Half-yearly, or Quarterly, on the sth of January, sth of April, sth of July, and sth of October, either of which several days constitutes the commence ment of the year to MEMBERS. Persons, therefore, desirous of entering the Society, AS MEMBERS, on the sth of October next, should appear at the Office on or before that day. So various are the plans now before the public for effecting Assurance on Life, it may, at first sight, seem difficult to make choice between them. As, however, all prudent offices make a considerably higher charge in the annual premium than experience has hitherto shown to be necessary, but differ in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the following classificition may be made :- Ist. Proprietary Offices, where all the surplus from pre miums and other profits is divided exclusively amongst the Share or Stockholders. 2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions between Share and Stockholders and the assured. - 3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole of the profit is equally distributed amongst the assured only. The Metropolitan, which is of the last_elass, was established in 1835, and although no paid agents for town or country have at any time been employed, nor any expensive system of adver tising resorted to, yet its advantages have been so well appre. dated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed 39,5001. In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's af fairs, the Annual Premiums of Members of Five years' standing have been reduced Forty-two and a Half per cent.

Mr. Chadwick Jones, after having made as careful an examination of the evidence collected as he was enabled to make, recapitulates the chief conclusions which that evidence appears to him to establish, which are given by him as follows :—• First, as to the extent and operation of the evils which are the subject of the inquiry:— That the various forms of epidemic, endemic, and other disease caused, or aggravated, or pro pagated chiefly amongst the labouring classes by atmospheric impurities produced by decom posing animal and vegetahle substances, by . damp and filth, and close and overcrowded dwellings prevail amongst the population in every part of the kingdom, whether dwelling in separate houses, in rural villages, in small towns, in the larger towns—as they have been found to prevail in the lowest districts of the metropolis. That such disease, wherever its attacks are fre quent, is always found in connexion with the physical circumstances above specified, and that where those circumstances are femoved by drain age, proper cleansing, better ventilation, and other means of diMintshing atmospheric impu rity, the frequency and intensity of such disease is abated ; and where the removal of the noxious agencies appears to be complete, such disease almost entirely disappears. That high prosperity in respect to employment and wages, and various and abundant food, have afforded to the labouring classes no exemptions from attacks of epidemic disease, which have been as frequent and as fatal in periods of com mercial and manufacturing prosperity as in any others. That the formation of all habits of cleanliness is obstructed by defective supplies of water. That the annual loss of life from filth and bad ventilation are greater than the loss from death Or wounds in any wars in which the country has been engaged in modern times. That of the 43,090 cases of widowhood, and 1,,000 cases of destitute orphanage relieved from the poor's-rates in England:and - Wales alone, it appears that the greatest proportion of deaths of the heads of families occurred from the above ages were under forty-five years; that is to say, specified and other r e movable causes; that their thirteen years .below the natural probabilities of life as shown by the experience of the whole po pulation of Sweden. That the public loss from the premature deaths of the heads of fainilies is greater than can be re presented by any enumeration of the pecuniary burdens consequent u p on t h e ir sickness and death. • That measuri n g t h e loss o f working ability amongst large c l asses b y the instances of gain, even from incompl ete arrangem ents foe the re moval of noxio us influences from places of work or from abodes, th at th i s loss cann ot be less than eight or ten year s . That the ravag es o f epidemics and other dis eases do not dimi n i s h b ut ten d to increase the pressure of popul a ti on . That in the districts where the mortality is the greatest the births are flat only sufficient to re place the numbers removed by death, but to add to the population. That the younger population, bred up under noxious physical agenc i es, i s i n f er i o r in physical organization and general healt h to a population preserved from the presence of such agencies. That the population so exposed is less suscep tible of moral influences, and thiseffects of edu cation:are more transient than with a healthy population. That these adverse circumstances tend to pro duce an adult population short-lived, improvi dent, reckless, and intemperate, and with ha bitual avidity for sensual gratifications. That these habits lead to the abandonment of all the conveniences and decencies of lite, and especkily lead to the overcrowding of their homes, which is destructive to the morality as well as the health of large classes of both sexes. That defective town cleansing fosters habits of tile most abject degradation, and tends to the de moralization of large numbers of human beings, who subsist by means of what they find amidst the noxious filth accumulated in neglected streets and bye-places. That the expenses of local public works are in general unequally and unfairly assessed, op pressively laid uneconomically collected, by se parate collections, wastefully expended in sepa ieieoxg i isti t n s existing law e e ution, for tile protection of the such as the Courts sepa rate and inefficient operati ons by unskilled and p rac ti c ally irresponsible officers. That l public health and the const i tut i ona l mac hi nery for ca ti :n Leet, have fallen into desuet u d e , and are in the re state indicated by the prevalence:of the evils they were intended to prevent. Secondly, As to the means by which the pre sent sanitary condition of the labouring classes may be improved : The primary and • most important measures, and at the same tune the most practicable, and within the recognised province of public admi nistration, are drainage, the removal of all refuse of habitations, streets, and roads, and the im provement of the supplies of water. That the chief obstacles to the immediate re moval of decomposing refuse of towns and ha bitations have been the expense and annoyance of the hand labour and cartage requisite for the purpose. That this expense may be reduced to one twentieth or to one-thirtieth, or rendered incon- , siderable, by the use of water and self-acting means of removal by improved and cheaper sewers and drains. That refuse when thus held in suspension in water may be most cheaply and innoxiously con veyed to any distance out of towns, and also in the use, best form for productive u iced that the loss and injury by the pollution of natural streams may be avoided. That for all these purposes, as well as for do mestic. use, better supplies of water are abso lutely necessary. That for successful and economical drainage the adoption of geol o gical areas as the basis of operations is requisite.. fic That appropriate -cienta a rrangements for public drainage would Afton _ " . im portant facilities for private laud -drainage, Which is important for the health as well as sustenance of the labouring classes. r. • That the expense of public d ainage, of sup plies of water laid on ill h ou ses , and of means of improved cleansing would be a pecuniary g ain, by diminishing the existing charges attendant on sickness and premature mortality. That for the protedion of the labouring classes and of the ratepayers against inefficiency and waste iii all new structural arrangements for the h l heat, protection of tile public and to ensure public confidence that time expenditure will be benefici a l, securities should be taken that all new local public works are devised and conducted by responsible officers, qualified by the pos sess i on o f the science and skill of civil engineers. That the oppressiveness and Inju st i ce of lev i es for the whole -immediate outlay on such works upon persons who .have only short interests in the benefits, m ay be avoided by care in spread- RAILWAY RETURNS.

That by the combinations of all these arrange ments, it is' probable that the full ensurable pe riod of life indicated by the Swedish tables, that is, an increase of thirteen years at least, may be extended to the whole of the labouring classes. That the attainment of these and the other collateral advantages of reducing existing charges and expenditure are within the power of the Le gislature, and are dependent mainly on the secu rities taken for the application of practical sci ence, skill, and economy, in the direction of local perblie works. And that the removal of noxious physical cir cumstances, and the promotion of civic, house hold, and personal cleanliness, are n•!cessary to the improvement of the moral condition of the po pulation; tbr that sound morality and refinement in manners and health are not long found co existent with filthy habits amongst any class of the community. I beg leave further to suggest, that the prin ciples of amendment deduced from the inquiry will be found as applicable to Scotland as to England; and if so, it may be submitted for at tention whether it might not be represented that the structural arrangements for drainage would be most conveniently carried out in the same form as in England, that is, by commissions, of the nature of commissions of sewers, adapted, as regards jurisdiction to natural or geological areas, and including in them the chief elected officers of municipalities, and other authorities now charged with the care of the streets and roads or connected with local public works. The advantages of uniformity in legislation and in the executive machinery, and of doing the same things in the same way (choosing the best), and calling the same officers, proceedings, and things by the same names, will only be appre ciated by those who have observed the exten sive loss occasioned by the legislation for towns which makes them independent of beneficent, as of what perhaps might have been deemed for merly aggressive legislation. THE METROPOLITAN PARLIA MENTAItY REFORM ASSOCIATION. On Thursday night a• very numerous Conversa tional Meeting of the Radicals of Bermondsey, was held at the Ship Tavern, Long-lane. The meeting was one of a series which have been lately held in different parts of the Metropolis, with great success, for the purpose of producing a good understanding between the various sections of the Suffrage party. Mr. MAYNARD, the Secretary of the National Charter Association, moved a resolution s •ii,xpressing the opinion of the Meeting " that the grievances of both the working and the middle classes can only be redressed by obtaining the Charter, which might soon be done, by a union of the middle and working classes in their pommon cause." A long and animated discussion ensued, which lasted until a late hour, and in which Dr. Black, Messrs. Duncan, Charles Westerton, Morton, Fan child, Ross, Stanwood, Ruffy, Ridley, and Wheeler, took part. The resolution was seconded by Dr. Black, put to the Meeting, and carried unanimously. The best feeling prevailed, and the Meeting seemed cordially to agree with the speakers in the necessity of such a reconciliation as would prevent a continu ance of that system of quarrelling and denunciation which has hitherto kept them separate, and impeded the progress of their common cause. - STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, SEPT. 23. There has been no improvement in this branch of trade during the past week ; few inquiries have been made for anv descriptions of Foreign Wool, and prices are nominally the same. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, SEPT. 23. The transactions in English Wool during the present week have been limited, especially in combing wools, prices of which are barely maintained. In clothing wools there is a moderate demand at late prices. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, SEPT. 23.—We have no alteration in any department of the Wool trade since our last report. Stocks are light, the demand exceedingly languid, and prices without variation. YORK WOOL MARKET, SEPT. 22.—The wool market is drawing fast to a close here, not more than 50 sheets having been shown to-day, and those con sisted of mixed lots of hog and ewe, the prices for which have varied from l ls. 6d. to 12s. 3d.; and Moor wool Cs. to 7s. per stone. TRADE OF LEEDS.—With the exception of fancy cloakings, shawls, and beaver cloths, there' has been very little business done at our Cloth Halls this week. Fine cloths 'still continue exceedingly heavy of sale and tl - e sucks on hand ar . ' i ether consije •able, not-' withstanding that there hr s not been so few made fo many years as during the—last twelve months. Busi ess has been a little better in the warehouses this week than for some time past, but it is still very du , for the season. BRADFORD MARKET, THERSDAY.—The merchants appear to be very active in looking after the job lots which some of the small manufacturers have been,sub miffing in the common or lower description of Pari sian cloths, those chiefly the produce of the dobby, and which have been sold at ruinously low prices. Or leans cloths have been more inquired after, and the stocks.are very light in the hands of the manufac turers. Merinos are hardly as good sale as they were a few weeks past. In other goods no material altera tion, neither in demand nor prices. The Yarn trade is very steady; and an average business doing, and late prices maintained. So little is the alteration.in the Wool market, that we can only refer to last week's report.—Leeds Mewcury. STATE of the MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS. (From the Manchester Guardian.) Nothing has occurred, since our last, to disturb the gradual and progressive resumption of labour by the power-loom weavers in this town, to which we al luded m our last. According to statements collected by the police yesterday, out of a total number of 6,884 weavers usually employed in forty-one mills in the borough of Manchester, 4,873 were at work in the forenoon, and 5,151 in the afternoon of that day. The remainder, being now too few to offer any serious obstruction or annoyance to those who are in employ ment, and being, consequently, deprived of all hope of carrying their point, are rapidly returning to their looms, as is shown by the increase of 278 in the number at work yesterday afternoon, as compared with the morning. We have little doubt, that on Monday next_ the whole of the mills, except where some peculiar circumstances may exist, will be in full work. In the surrounding district there is no change whatever. We believe that, with the single excep • tion of the mills at Bolton, and a few cases where peculiar obstacles prevent a resumption of labour, all are in full operation. With respect to the precise position of the turn-out at Bolton, we are unable to ,speak with any certainty, owing to the failure of our usual communication from thence ; but We have no reason to suppose that the spinners have, as yet, con sented to return to their employment. THE COLLIERS' STRIKE IN MID- LOTHIAN. Although the strike has already continued for fully six weeks, and occasioned a vast amount of pri vation and distress among the misguided persons who have been rash enough to quit their employm ent, we regret to learn that they still express their determina tion to hold out. They have issued a placard, which has been extensively circulated in Mid and East Lothian, in which they say, they " are convinced that the public generally . are in total ignorance of their sufferings, which has induced them to publish the fol lowing statement of wages received by them at the different works under-noted." According to their statement, the variation in the rate of wages at dif ferent collieries is very great; thelighest being Hintlaw and Edgehead, where the average gran .wages are stated to be 225. 6d. and 215., and the ,vorking hours per day 13 and 14 hours respectively Prom these sums are to be deducted the expenses of t nitters, oil, and tools, defrayed by the workmen. I n -he case of Huntlaw, the putter is rated at Bs., oil `2s., and tools 9d., making 10s. 9d. to be deducted from7the ross amount of 225. 6d., and leaving for nett wages 11s. 9d. At Edgehead the expenses are stated at 10s. Id., the free wages being 10s. ltd. The lowest are said to he at Tranent, where, working 14 hours a day, the .iverage weekly wages are se t d own at 10s., subject to a deduction of a putter, Gs., oil and tools Is. 10d., and reducing the average wages to the nett sum of 2s. 2d, per week. In the other collieries, the nett wages are stated at 4s. 2d., ss. 9d., 6s. 9d., and so on up to 12s. 2(1., which is the highest. In putting forth such a statement we cannot help saying that the co.- tiers seem to have been very ill advised, a great part of it carrying absurdity on the very face of it, while other parts have been met by a distinct denial from those parties best enabled to state the truth. To those of our readers who are not conversant with the technicalities of the coal mine it is necessary to ex plain that " putters" are boys and girls employed in conveying the coals from the hands of the collier to the bottom of the shaft. This is generally done in small four-wheeled trucks, or waggons, containing from three to five cwt., and as this part of the work is performed by young persons of either sex, it is not understood to be severe. The wages paid by the col liers to the putters is generally from 10d. to Is. a day; and, in this way, men with three or four children to assist them make a large addition to their earnings. Now, at the Tranent colliery, the average nett wages of the colliers are set down at 2s. 2d. per week, while' Gs. per week is paid to the "putters." if this state ment has any foundation in truth, the colliers chould either turn "putters," or each man should putt his own work. But before we believe that the average nett wa ges of any collier in the kingdom in constant employ ment are only 2s. 2d. per week, we will require strong-or evidence than their printed placard. In fact, Such a sum is not sufficient to sustain life in any man engaged in so laborious an occupation as that of a collier, far less is it sufficient to provide food, clothing, and mainten ance for his family. Their assertion on this point, therefore, must be supported by better evidence than they have yet furnished before it can command belief. The nett wages of men employed at the Newbattle Colliery are set down at 9s. ld., and as this has been met by a pointed denial and a public declaration, " that industrious and sober colliers at Newbattle • works earn from 3s. 6d. to 4s. per diem, clear of all expenses," and an invitation to all " respectable per sons not connected with colliers to inspect the colliery wages book," that they may satisfy themselves on the subject, we • venture to caution the public against allowing their sympathy to be enlisted on behalf of persons who are endeavouring to obtain countenance and support by means the very reverse of creditable. In the meantime the coal-masters are submitting to considerable loss by the falling in of their works and otherwise, and will, no doubt, presently be under the necessity of expelling the colliers from their dwelling houses, which they occupy only on the condition of regular attendance at work.—Caledonian Mercury. SUDDEN REMOVAL OF TIIE SPECIAL COMMISSION. PRESTON, SATURDAY MORNING. The Special Commission appointed far Lancaster has been removed to Liverpool. This is assigned for by the great number of prisoners confined for trial in Salford and Kirkdale gaols. A circular has been, within the last few hours, issued to the Magistracy, relating to the intended removal of the Commission, from the Clerk of the Crown. The following is a copy : " Preston, Sept. 23, 1842. Gentlemen,—l take the earliest opportikity apprising you, for the instruction of the Magistrates, that, according to a letter received yesterday, it is in tended to issue a Special Commission for the purpose of trying prisoners charged with offences connected with the late disturbances only, and that such Com mission will be opened at Liverpool in about fourteen days. I understand that the sittings appointed to be held at Lancaster will not take place, but another post will probably bring the official documents, which may be relied on with certainty. " Your obedient servant, " R. W. IiO . PKINS." 11fuch dissatisfaction has been caused since this cir eular ha.i been received, as the Jury have been sum• mooed for some days past. • SINGULAR ARTICLES. (From the Dispatch.) • . . Three singular articles appeared in succession -ilia Morning Paper of Friday last. We have first, a lead ing article upon a 081 duel, between the Political Chief of Cadiz, and the Editor of a paper s : in which the combatants fired at what the Spaniards call "clothes I liming proximity," and after:.exchanginx more fire than would frighten a company. •of grena diers, we are glad to say, for the honour Oour. trade, craft, vocation, or cloth, that the Editor shot ,the Poli tical Chief. There are very odd modes of revenge, and the Editor.nf the Cadiz Globe being unpopular, the mob, to punish him for killing the Commander-in- Chief, went and destroyed all his type4ranies and presses, burning even his clothes, which was a second point of the Spanish " clothes-burning proximity?' Let the Editor of the London Globe, called The Globe and Traveller, beware of shooting a Commander-in-Chief, either Lord Hill, or the Duke of Wellington,for, if he does, he will have all his types and his wardrobe destroy- • ed; though, what good this could do to anybody, we are at a los, to discover. If we shoot Mr. Iltunptre, ,Sir Andrew Agnew, Colonel Sipthorpe, or the Scoth ,Jreacher that goes by the cant name of living's Ghost; we beseech the Commissioner of Pplice to erotect our types, and all that is in our wardrobes which is typical of gentility. Next follows an ac count of fuur wonderfully beautiful horses, , sent as a - : resent to t er M a j esty, by the Queen . ofSpain, a child of twelve years ('f age, and the tails of which, ,ve are seriously assured, reach to within an inch of tiv ground. What a superb subject to annoy the space of a political journal in such direful times as th e k, Another journal assures us that these tails •tre enormously large tails as compared to English horse-tails. Why were ;n ot these horses sent to Turkey a s a present sto some three-tailed Bashaw ? The Spanish grown , assures her Majesty that these horses are peculiarly large and full with respect to fatness. Ott e only wish that her Majesty could say the same thing o f her own working classes; hut they are very empty, both in pockets, stomachs, and too often in their head s . As England is the greatest, of all countries in the world for breeds of horses, and as Spain has never been tamed but for breed of a;ses, the case of the present to the Queen is much worse than that of sending coals to Newcastle. The Queen rather snubs the present, for immediately she sees these four very' long-tailed horses, ~he gives two of them to Prince Albert. We next come to the third wonder, which occupies the invaluable space- of the Leading Journal, of Europe. A pair of colours has been presented to the . ttlth Regiment, and who was selected to present them, with the accompanying speeehifications? it a surgeon and apothecary, a dentist, a corn-doctor, horse-doctor, or anything of the sort ? - No, the gal lant regiment Would not put up with such inconsis tency. Was it the Attorney-general, the Solicitor- General, or the Solicitor to the Treasury, to the Society for the Suppression of Vice, that presented these colours to the 16th Regiment ? Did any distinguished General present them ? Oh no ; the Colonel selected for the purpose—a what ?—why a clergyman. Could this Colonel Campbell have made a wiser. man of him self had he chosen one of his sergeants-. to preach a visitation sermon instead of selecting a clergyman to .present aset of colours to a regiment? Never was a parson more out of place, and they are the last people in the world that like to be without a - place. What are we to come to next? Shall we come to a state of society in which, as of yore, not a dose of medicine could be delivered out by a 'priest, or with a priest's blessing! It is thoroughly disgraceful to think7of a clergyman presenting colours to a regi .ment. The parson said that the profession of arms and love of God were compatible. When a soldier is .running his sword or bayonet through another man for hire, 'a man who nev er Off en d e d hi m, we suspec t th at he has more love for his pay than for God; or at least his ideas of God are not ours. We have no love for gods of bloodshed. The tom-foolery on this occasion was excessive; the regiment was complimented on its battles under Marlborough, at which period scarcely the great grandfather of a single soldier in it could have had martial existence; and then this very wise man, Col. :Campbell, who certainly is the most superlative speci men of wisdom that modern times has produced, gravely tells the black-surpliced parson, with his flag of many colours, that for more than fifty years the regiment had never fronted an enemy, and that the }est time : the regiment appeared in the field was sixty-thfee 'years ago, when they laid down their -arms, and sur rendered themselves as prisoners on the glacis of Baton-rouge. Really, our officers are themselves either idiots, or they are over-cunning, and trio easily take for granted that their privates are idiotic. The whole •of this proceeding of getting the ilergyman . to present colours to a regiment semis a premedi tated insult, a hoax upon the army. We wonder how the soldiers will like the quiz. The retim*ot has not been in fight for fifty years. It is a pa. son end not a• military man that presents these colours, Loa the day selected for the parson's presenting them with ,. colours is the sixty-third anniversary•of their laying down their arms and surrendering unconditionally to . : the French, after which the regiment has never been' • s, employed, although the intermediate period'has been the most fighting era that Europe ever .saw: When will the clergy cease to expose themselVes, or suffer themselves to be exposed as fools i or as something much worse? The next honour done to the 16th Foot. will be to grant its Colonel (Viieoutit Beres ford), a white feather ; and Lieut.-Colonel Campbell a wooden sword. It is disgusting to see.the'armv so disgraced, and especially by saintism. LOSS OF A RUSSIAIII:LIN,E-OF BATTLE SHIP.: . SUPPOSED LOSS OF 400 arils. LEITH, SEPT. 22.—The following is a translated extract of a letter, dated Christiansand, 15th Septem ber, 1842, addressed to Mr. Dahl, of .the- firm of Ferguson, Davidson, and Co., merchants here (Leith) " The dulne3s here (Christiansand) has been inter rupted by the circumstance of the Russian line-of battle ship the Ingermanland . having, been wrecked, on the night preceding the 12th instant, onthe smalk rock called Groningen, about two English miles off this place. rhUweather was fearful, a severe ga.le blowing from the east, with a heavy sea. About half-past ten o'clock on Sunday morning (the 11th) .We heard uninterrupted ti r i ng of heavy cannon, w hich con tinued till two, a.m., the following day. TNice during the night the Government steam-packet North Cape was sent out to discover the 'cause, as also several pilot -cutters ; but it appeared the ship had got oft the rock, and driven rapidly to •theivestwarcl, so that they did not see her. " On Tuesday morning accounts were received that 'a line-of-battle ship was drifting westward off the Naze, and the Government steam-packet was again • sent out, and, having come up with .her about 3G English miles west of the Naze, she succeeded in saving 150 of the crew. By crafts from lltindahl and Fahrsand, 300 men and several of the qfficers had been previously saved. The-captain of the ship had. been amongst the first to leave the vessel, and in her was his lady, who remained on board f .and Was.subse- quently saved by one of the Mandahl boats.. " The merchants of Mandahl, at theirow.n expense; fitted up and sent off two vessels, which saved as many of the Russians as they could carry, until the steamer arrived and took off i the remainder. It s said the crew consisted of 936 men, of whom about 500 are: dr if t i ng with two • ItH:tihd01:1010Ht: saved ; but this requires c onfirmation.

SUICIDE AT THE CRAIN PIER, 'BRIGHTON.— o'c 13RIGIITON, THURSDAY . —l ast evening, about seven lock, the promenaders at the Chain-pier were thrown into great alarm by a soldier jumping oft' the pier -head into the sea. It appears that the soldier, who was a private in the 19th Foot, was observed-br4a , lady mut tering t o hi mself, shortly afterwards 'ha took off his belt, b ayonet, and cap, and hung them on th e rails, and then got over on to a small parapet. The lady spoke to him, telling him the attendants at the pier would not allow such conduct ;• he imtnediately answered, " I belong to the 19th," and then jumped into the sea. The lady, with great presence of mind, rang the alarm bell, when several of the pier servants came to her assistance, and one of them, named James Barber, notwithstanding he is crippled. lit one hand from tiring a salute, Jumped into the sea, caught hold of the soldier, and hung on by one of the piles with his lame hand, the sea dashing both of them against it. With considerable eficultv, aided by life buoys, Mr. Mathews, the foreman of the works,- and others, got them out, and' the soldier was immediately conveyed to the Sussex County Hospi tal, where Mr. Whitehouse, the house surgeon, and his assistants, perseiered for upwards of two hours endeavouring to resuscitate the deceased, without effect. The deceased was a reeruk about nineteen years of age. It was nearly low water at the time, and the height to the water, from which the deceased jumped, was upwards of thirty feet.. Great praise i s due to B ar b er for the courage displayed by him, as , the sea. was very rough at the time, in iddition to the disadvantage of his beitl -occurred whilst he w as fi r i ng - afsa.ute i) : .handar of the arrival of William and Adelaide at . LIVERPOOL MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY.—The duty upon Colo uial Wheat and 'Flour having again further advanced. is now at the highest point prescribed by the existing Corn Act, viz. ss. per quarter, and 3s. per barrel, re spectively ; upon Foreign Wheat also it is raised to 18s., on Oats to Bs. per quarter, and on Flour to 10s. 10d. per barrel, being a virtual prohibition of their release for home consumption. The general imports of the past three days are ex tremely light; notwithstanding, we have continued to experience a heavy sale for all articles of the trade in the interval from Tuesday last, though at no percepti ble difference from the currency of that day. llaving no lively reports from London or other markets to animate the trade here, and the millers teginning to receive rather better supplies of new Wheat direct from the growers, enable them to pro ceed with a less portion of old. At our Corn Ex change this morning, therefore, all descriptions of Foreign seemed to he nearly without demand, receding in value at least ld. to 2d., and Irish new, 3d. to 4d., in some instanc es Gd. p er 701b s . b e l ow the current rates of Tuesday; whilst English new, although very few samples appeared, was decidedly cheaper. States and Canadian Flour, upon a very limited in quiry, was Gd. per barrel lower; but tiglish and Irish, being scarce, remained at late prices. • Of Malting Barley we have no supply; meantime Grinding qualities continue in slow request,•on the terms last noted. Malt, Beans, and Peas, exceed ingly dull, and each Is. per quarter cheaper. Oats were taken off very sparingly, at our last quotations : and Oatmeal, attended with a slow, lin gering sale, declined Is. p e r 2401bg . COTTON MARKET, THREE o'CLocK.—The dreadful fire, which has devastated more Cotton than any other produce, consuming, it is estimated, fully 50,000 bales, has caused an uneven sort of market to-day, many parties refusing, 'or perhaps being un able, to show their stocks ; notwithstanding, 3,000 bales have been sold at the full prices current during the week, and in some instances a slight advance has been paid. The sales . of the week are again only 12,710 bales, principally taken by the trade. ETON PETTY SESSIONS. At the sessions held on Thursday, before the Rev. W. G.. Cookesley and Mr. Charles Tower, a Working looking man, who had formerly been employed upon the Great Western Railway, was charged by Mr. Col lard, the chief superintendent of the Great Western Railway police, with travelling behind the last carriage, and seated upon the buffer, of the day mail train which left Paddington at a quarter past ten o'clock on the day before, without being provided with either a ticket or any money to pay his fare. It appeared that just after the train had left Paddington the man was seen to jump on the buffer of the hind carriage, but as the train which had proceeded some little distance was not be made aware of the circumstance. di then going at an increasing speed, the engineer could h t e o s l e he was in . train arriving at Slough, the man slipped • otf, and on being challenged there by the officers of the Com. pang with riding without paying his fare, he con fessed that he had ridden from Paddington, that he had no money, and that it was his intention to have walked a little way on the railway from Slough, and again mounted the buffer to have got on to Bristol. He made the same admission before .. the Bench. The the Magis- . most extraordinary part of the . Aim. is, how it Ali , possible, from the construction of the }undermost put of the carriage and the buffer attached . to it, that th.. . costs ; and man was able to . hang on (the train proceeding at the amount, and as in his he was conveyed the same afternoon. 3 inevi tably have been killed.
