From the great tender ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con tinued very much swollen and adematous, and I suffered dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which extended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and to the arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—then to adopt sea bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill, who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment, I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next morning I came down stairs without my crutches, and was able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford, I know of no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy. In adding my testimony to Mr. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf ferers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice against everything in the shape of quackery, I should be the last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug. " I am, your obedient servant, " TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon. " Carmocic, near Walsall, Staffordshire. " P. S. At the various consultations held upti my case, the Surgeons and physicians (including myself) were decidedly of opinion that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter minate in lock-jaw, but, as I have before stated, I have not had the slightest symptoms of spasms since the first application of this extraordinary embrocation.—T. H." This justly-celebrated remedy (which is equally efficacious in any of the above afflictions) may be obtained of, or through any respectable wholesale or retail Chemist in Town or Country, at the Depot, corner of Wellington-street, Strand ; or from the Proprietor. Mr. Feaver, 16, Ludgate-hill. London. MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENS.OF FRANCE.--the nouncement of a work bearing the above title, from the pen of the accomplished Mrs. Forbes Bush, has excited considerable attention. A very slight know ledge of French history in the reader will assure him that the Memoirs of the French Queens present fea tures of extraordinary interest. We have only to mention the names of Mary of Anjou, Anne of Brit tany, Mary of England, Mary Stuart, Mary Leckzin sky, and Marie Antoinette, to bring up a host of the most pleasing historical associations ; while others, such as Mary de Valois, Mary de Medicis, Anne of Austria, and Catherine de Medicis, affurd no less striking pictures of the times in which they flourished. With the " Memoirs of the Queens of France," the author has, we understand, introduced notices of the Royal favourites, who were not unfrequently of much greater influence in the State than the contemporary Queens-consort. An allusion to Diana of Poitiers, Agnes Sorelle, Gabrielle d'Estrees, the Marchionesses de Montespan and de Pompadour, the Duchesse de la la Valliere, and Madame de Maintenon, snakes this immediately manifest. The work of Mrs. Bush cannot fail of being a desirable acquisition to every library in the kingdom. COURT OF REVlEW.—Various reports are in circu lation in Westminster-hall respecting the vacant Judgeship of the Court of Review, one of which is that the office will not be filled up, but that the busi ness of that Court will be transferred to the recently appointed Vice-Chancellors, Messrs. Knight Bruce, and Wigram. The most prevalent opinion, however, is, that the office will be continued, and that Mr. Ho race Twiss, who formerly had a considerable practice in the Court of Iteview, will be appointed successor to the late Sir ; John Crow THE NEW POOR-LAW. A Report of the Poor-law Commissioners' opinion on the subject of two orphan children, whose case has excited public sympathy, and which is of importance, :is regards the future disposal of necessitous persons, has been directed to the parish officers of St. Marga ret's and St. John's, Westminster, and to the Board of Guardians of the West London Union. The case which has called for the interference and condemna tion of the Commissioners is as follows :—About a fortnight since a grocer, named Cook, residing in the Vauxhall Bridge-road, found two boys, ten and twelve years of age, named Bastings, sitting on the step of his door crying bitterly. They werevithout home or shelter, and had come to ask assistance of their aunt, a poor old woman, who occupied Cook's kitchen, and who earned a pitiful subsistence by mangling. She was unable to maintain herself, much less to relieve the children, and, under these circumstances, Mr. Cook took them to the parish of St. Margaret's, where they refused to have anything to do with them, and directed that they should be taken to the parish of St. Bride's, Fleet-street, their father and mother, who died in December and January last, having been in the employ of a gentleman in Bolt-court. The children were taken there in the pouring rain, when the relieving officer, who lived in Salis bury-court, Fleet-street, refused to do anything for them, and they were again taken back to St. Marga ret's with a similar result, and again brought into the city, where an officer at the station-house sent them to the workhouse, in which they were received for the night, but turned out in the morning. Three days were exupied in taking the children from St. Margaret's to St. Bride's and back, and they were paraded at the Mansion-house, Guildhall, and Queen-square, at all of which places they were commisserated ; butas the au thorities at either parish refused to relieve them, de claring that they would take the responsibility of refusing, Cook was obliged, as a matter of feel ing, to provide for them, and he, accordingly, by the recommendation of the Magistrates, took them lodg ings in King's Head-court, Shoe-lane. As a dernier resort, he was advised to lay the case before the Poor law Commissioners, and, accordingly, made a written statement of the facts. He was examined at some length before the Assistant-Commissioner last Satur day, and the officers of St. Bride's and St. Margaret's stated their reason for refusal, which amounted to neither more nor less than that the children did not belong to them, the one declaring that the other had a better right to maintain them than the other. The inquiry, after lasting four hours, then closed, Mr. Cook being recommended to still keep the poor or phans until a decision was come to. On Friday the Poor-law Commissioners made a communication to Mr. Pontifex, Clerk to the Guar dians of the West London Union, in which they ex plain the real state of the law in regard to such cases in the following words :—" The Commissioners desire explicitly to state to the West London Board of Guar dians, that the Commissioners are aware of no valid foundation in law for the opinion that a destitute person is entitled to relief from the parish in which he slept the night before, although he may be found destitute in another parish. The real state of the law is, that a destitute person is to be relieved in the parish in which he is found destitute, and the question of where he slept the night before is altogether imma terial. The fact of the boys having been improperly refused relief in St. Margarees, on the Tuesday evening, could not affect the obligation on the re lieving officer of the West London Union to give them relief on the following day, if they were desti tute in any parish in the union, and if the boys apply again, in a state of destitution, for admission into the workhouse of St. Margaret's, or the "West London Union, relief should be given to them, either in the palish of St. Margaret's, or the ', est London Union, accordingly as they happen to be destitute either in the one or the other." AN INTERVIEW WITH THE POPE. The room in which we were received was a small apartment near the library, and nothing could be less magnificent than this little reception room, though in the middle of the richest palace in the world. His Holiness wore a white dress, which, I believe, is that of the monastic order to which he belonged, and also the small white cap with which all portraits (Raphael and Lawrence inclusive) have made us familiar. His countenance is amiable, and expressive of much gentleness, and his stature rather below the common size. We found him standing in front of a small table, which was placed before a canopy, under which, I imagine, he would have sat, had not his politeness to the ladies he expected prevented it. . • • The party, therefore, naturally formed themselves into a semi-circle round him ; and his first words on seeing how extensive that circle was, were, "La stanzae troppo piccola." . .He looked at us all with much good hum our a nd kindness ; but as he did not walk rou n d th e c i rc le, and as the persons forming the circle were no t i ns tructed to pass before him, he rather harangued than conversed with us. But considering the awkwardness of this arrangement, he managed it exceedingly well. He inquired our names from the Hanoverian Minister, in the order in which we stood, and very politely ex pressed regret that he could not address us in our own language. The appearance of the circle was singular enough from the ladies being all dressed in black, and wearing black veils (which is de rigueur), while the gentlemen were as gaily habited as possible ; all being in full dress, chiefly military, and one in the full Highland costume. This last espe of his Holiness—so ful young Chieftain was muchciallv a s t o t , r ae t t h e a d t t t h h e e attention compelled, in some sort, to make a step forward, that his Holiness might have an opportunity of seeing more distinctly the jewelled powder-horn. which appeared particularly to have arrested his at tention, e e h rt loy h aesllee seen mistook isa s for a mull, which he friends co e lov n r reistake, snuff being =very properly a tchman carry, offer ing its verynea n gi d t i the , a ibticuauodrtnal contents more familiar idea to his Holiness than gun powder. He then asked the Minister if there was not a literary lady in the company ; which being answered in the affirmative, and the individual indi cated, his Holiness inquired what species of cm ) and then remarked but that he had n o t read them He then, p th o a si t tio t n h s ere had z eotee many rodhueceekds written in English, apropos of the great advantage of a general ac quaintance with modern languages, spoke to us of the extraordinary acquirements in that line of the Cardinal Mezzofante, and related an anecdote respecting him, in which this remarkable faculty had enabled his Holiness to detect a renegado Christian, who attempted to pass himself as a Turk, desirous of professing the Catholic faith— the " Roman Catholic faith," added his Holiness significantly, correcting himself He told this little story with a good deal of spirit, and altogether got through the audience, which for many reasons must have been an embarrassing one, with a great deal of good-humoured ease. We remained thus standing before him for about twenty minutes, or half aRh oar, and then he bowed us off.—/kirs. Trollope's T ?sit o Italy. STATE OF THE FACTORIES IN SEVEN COUNTIES. In a report addressed to the Secretary for the Home Department, and d ated the 20 th of Ja nuary last, Mr. Horner, the Chief Inspector of Factories, states the results of some inquiries which he caused to be made by the superintendents of facto ries in his district. Mr. Horner 's districutrhcompre hends the whole of the coun ties of Lanc aster, est- N m o o r r l t a h n d, Riding Cum Cumberland, ayildo;kNshOirrteh,llalnnaberaplanadr t t Durham, the West Riding. It appears that in the latter part of 1841, the period of the investigation, the number of cotton mills in the district was 1,164, and of these 887 were in full work, employing 142,063 ; 139 were working less than 69 hours a week, employing 27,764 persons, and 138 were not at work. The total number of woollen and worsted mills in the district was 271, of which 139 were working full time, and employing 8,811 persons; 96 were working less than 69 hours a week, and employing 2,473 per sons ; and 36 were not at work. The total number of flax mills in the district was 78, of which 41 were working full time, and employ ing 5,548 ; 15 were working less than 69 hours a week, and employing 636 persons. The number of silk mills in the district is 28, of which 15 are in full work, employing 4,937 ; nine were working less than 69 hours a-week, employing 1,271 persons, and four were not working at all. The following is a general summary of all the mills in Mr. Horner's district: — At the time of the investigation 1,082 mills were working full time, or 69 hours aweek, and employing 161,359 persons ; 259 were working less than 69 hours a week, and employing 32,144 persons; and 200 were not at work. No less thannl42 gentlemen have applied to be ad mitted attorneys of the Court of Queen s Bench dur ing the present term ; and there are nine notices of application for re-admi4iion Ito pot*. SUPPLY of WATER to NEW YORK. The New York papers of Oct. 14 and 15 con tain:a long description of the ceremony of intro ducing the Croton waters into that city, which took place on the 14th, and of the stupendous works recently completed by which it is con ducted. We shall content ourselves with saying of the ceremony, which they dilate on at great length, tisiit it was a grand civic procession ' at which all the trades and companies of New York were Tresent, and that the houses and streets were crowded with spectators. In the evening there were illuminations and balls. Odes were written, composed, and.sung, and more rejoicings could scarcely have taken place had a great vic tory been obtained over a foreign enemy. The , occasion was, perhaps, more worthy of a great civic rejoicing than would have been a victory, fir a noble work was achieved by which New York will henceforth be amply supplied with water. From the speeches that were delivered on the occasion, and from the description in the New York Herald, we compile the following ac count of the former and present supply of water to that city : Samuel Stevens, Esq., the President of the Board of Water Commissioners, in delivering over the Croton Water and the works on this island to the Mayor and Common Council, said :—The Tea-water Pump, situated near the corner of Pearl and Chatham streets, was for a long period of time, the grand source of all the drinkable water for the lower part of the city. The necessity of a greater and more copious supply, for the extinguishment of fires, appears also to have been early admitted by our whole commu nity. Many of the present generation recollect the long lines of both men and women formed to pass pails and buckets from hand to hand, on the coldest night of winter, with but a faint hope of staying the con flagration of some neighbour's dwelling. In 1774 the Corporation adopted the plan of Christopher Colles, of making a reservoir in Broadway,. between Pearl and 'White-streets to supply the city. The Revolution stayed this work. In 1799, William Weston, a civil engineer, was employed by the Cor poration to examine the Bronx ' and reported that it would furnish a supply. The first innovation on the pail and bucket system appears to have been made in 1801, when two engines, for the extinguishment of fires, were imported, by the Common Council, from London. In 1799, the Manhattan Company was chartered, for the avowed purpose of introducing " pure and wholesome water," and as an additional inducement for the introduction of water, banking pri vileges were bestowed by its charter. This Company mainly satisfied itself by pumping water with a steam engine from _near the old Collect. Their pipes, though they furnished not pure and wholesome water, have nevertheless, in cases of fire, been fre quently highly beneficial to the city. In 1825, an other Company, called " The New York Water Works for the supply of pure and wholesome water," was established, but it was of short existence, and produced no valuable results, except to prove that no ample supply of good water could be found on this island. The Corporation, in addition to the river, Manhattan, and pump supply of water, found it ne cessary to erect public cisterns; these were generally in the streets in front of churches. This practice of building public cisterns continued till 1829, when the Committee on the Fire Department, consisting of Isaac Brown, James Palmer, Samuel Stevens, Benja min M. Brown, and P. W. Engs, reported in favour of abolishing public cisterns and building a tank or reservoir in 13th street. Fifteen hundred dollars was appropriated to the tank, which was to be filled by horse power, and the Corporation on the 16th of March adopted the Report, and agreed to lay down two lines of twelve inch iron pipes, one in Broad way, and the other in the Bowery. The Committee avowed their object to be to fill that tank and those pipes, at no distant date, with water to be introduced from Westchester. The adoption of this Report by this Corporation may be considered the commence ment of the plan for introducing water into the city. The Report declared the subject too important to be entrusted to any private Company, alleging " That such Companies had been more occupied in making money out of their banking privileges than introduc ing water into the city !" The tank in 13th street was that year constructed, and the two lines of pipes laid down. The plan soon found so many friends, that the horse was exchanged for a steam engine. From 1829 this small tank establishment has caused the city great saving, and extinguished many a fire which otherwise would have destroyed much addi tional property. And so highly has it been valued that a few years since, and after the Croton Waterworks were commenced, the Corporation erect ed alongside of it another tank, and each succeeding year the Corporation continued to lay down pipes, until the line is now about 130 miles long. The Corporation, in December, 1822, through their Committee on the Fire Department, consisting of James Palmer ' Charles Henry Hall, 'William Mande ville, Georg e H. Bruce, Peter Titus, and Dennis M`Carty, recommended that Col. De Witt Clinton examine the Croton River and other sources in the vicinity. On the receipt of Col. Clinton's report, and on the recmmendation of the above Committee, the Corporation again decided to introduce water into the City. In February, 1833, the Legislature passed the law appointing Commissioners, to report during the winter following; and in 1834 re-enacted the same law, with additional provisions. Under these laws, Hon. Stephen Allen, Saul Alley, 'William W. Fox, Charles Dusenberry and Benjamin M. Brown were appointed Commissioners; the last named gentle • man was soon succeeded by Thomas T. Woodruff. These Commissioners brought industry, honesty and judgment to the consideration of the import ant subject committed to their charge. They had the duty assigned them of examining and reporting a plan relating to supplying the city of New York with -a sufficient. quantity. of- pure and wholesome water, vvhich the electors -of the , city of' New .York could approve or disapprove. They called to their aid Major D. B. Douglass, previously of the United States Corps of Engineers. They also engaged in their service John Martineau and George W. Cart wright, Esqrs., as engineers. Stephen Allen and his associates had the high and responsible duty of deter mining not only the line of the aqueduct, but of de ciding on all conflicting surveys and sources which, previous to that time, had been considered available for the supply of the city with water, as well as a variety of projects for introducing the water into the city. After rejecting all various plans and adopting the Croton as the source of supply, our predecessors had other important questions to settle. Ought the aqueduct to be of mason work or of iron pipes ? The one carried with it, of necessity, a regular grade, while the other admitted of an undulating line. The most able men up to the period we have referred to, differed on this point. Experience, we think, has shown that the plan of masonry is the best. When the masonry was adopted, the question arose, was it to be an open or an arched or plank covered aqueduct ? Again, experience approved the arched and covered aqueduct. In March, 1840, the work, by a revolution which politics sometimes produce in the State, so far as the duty of Commissioners was concerned, passed into the hands of Samuel Stevens, John D. Ward, Zebedee Ring, Samuel R. Childs, and Benjamin Birdsall, and the work is now, except ing the high bridge over the Harlem river, completed, and you have it. It consists of an artificial reservoir, called the Croton River Lake, 45 miles from the Bat tery, the extreme part of the City ; this lake is formed by an hydraulic stone-masonry dam, with two waste weirs, or aprons, for the over-fall of the water, one of 87 feet and one of 180 feet, these being separated by a gate-house. The height of these waste-weirs is 55 feet above the bed of the river, and 40 feet above the low water level. The dam backs the water five miles, and makes a lake of an area of 400 acres, and of a capacity equal to 500,000,000 of gallons. The water enters a gatehouse, where the quantity is regulated before it enters the aqueduct, which is a stone struc ture lined and arched with brick. The face of the interior of the aqueduct is at the bottom of an inverted arch, width 6 feet 9 inches, height 8 feet 5f inches, area, 53 34-100 square feet, about large enough for an omnibus and four to pass through. The line of the aqueduct being on a regular declivity of 13i inches to the mile down to the Harlem river, a distance of 33 miles, it has a line of tunnelling of 6,841 feet, being sixteen in number, sometimes through earth and sometimes through solid rock ; the deepest cut is 80 feet, and the least 25 feet. In Westchester only, the aqueduct crosses twenty-five streams of water, which are from twenty-five to eighty-three feet below the top of the aqueduct. The grade line of aqueduct across the Harlem river is twenty five feet above tide water, and the top of the water now passes over Harlem river in One pipe of thirty-six inches, placed on the earthern dam made in the con struction of the high bridge. The bridge itself is now about one-third complete& ana will be, when finished, one of the most glIPBlldOlll wo the kind in the world. The rive As u2O feet wide at water line, but the slope of the river banks and an ad ditional distance of 830 feet, in all 1,460 feet. The plan now in progress crosses the river with eight arches of 80 feet span, and on piers of 31 by 44 feet at the base, resting on the bed of the river, and seven arches on pier on the land from the edge of the water up the two banks of the river. The spring of one of the arches is 95 feet above the lowest foundation put down ; the top of the parapet will be 149 feet from the lowest foundation. It is intended that the water shall pass over this bridge in pipes, to have it secure against the possibility of danger. The interesting works at Clendening Valley, being a bridge over a valley of 1,900 feet is breadth, the greatest height of the aqueduct is 50 feet from the bottom of the valley ; beautiful archways are constructed for three streets, 30 feet for the carriage way and ten on each side for side walks. Next in interest is the reservoir at Eighty sixth street, which might well be called the Detain ing or Clarifying Reservoir. It has two divisions, together 32 acres, greatest depth of water 25 feet, containing one hundred and fifty millions of gallons. Two lines of thirty-six inch pipes connect this with the reservoir at JE ortieth-street, which has also two divisions, forming together an area of four acres— depth of water when filled thirty-six feet. From this point four and a half miles to the Battery. Whole length of line from the Battery to the artificial lake, 50 miles. There are in this great work 55,000,000 bricks and 700,000 cubic yards of stone masonry. The water in the aqueduct is regulated at the en trance gate so as not to flow under any pressure—it has not been permitted to flow in the division near the city at a greater depth than two feet, but the works at the Croton dam required a few days back that more water should pass through the first divi sion (the distance between Sing Sing and the Croton River) being eight miles, and it was found to pass seventy-five millions New York gallons in twenty-four hours, and that its velocity was over two miles per hour. The Croton Lake now retains, beyond the daily river supply, in reserve, five hundred millions of gallons, and a small expense would add other immense artificial lakes to hold back an additional supply, but the necessity of this is hardly conceivable. It is estimated that the London supply from all their Companies is but twenty four millions of gallons, and Paris four millions only. The quality of the water is of a pure and transparent character, and has been found already to be a palatable beverage to thousands of individuals who have used the water. It is only remarkable that it has been so generally approved. We of New York have there fore now got the great desideratum, an abundant sup ply of pure and wholesome water, to be sure at a great cost—nine millions of dollars, exclusive of the the main and distributing pipes throughout the city (now laid to the extent of 130 miles), exclusive of the interest accumulating on the cost, being in all twelve millions of dollars. Well, what of that! Does it not belong to the system which Eternal Wisdom has inflicted on the world ?—that the greatest blessings can only be procured at the greatest cost and sacrifice ? What is this water to do for us ? It is to protect our city from the awful con flagrations to which it was subject. We now pay in premiums one million of dollars annually to insure about half the value of our buildings, goods, and chat tels, for we are our own underwriters to the extent of one million more of premiums—here are two millions in premiums paid or risks incurred. If the Croton works give but half security, you save more than will pay the whole interest of the cost. In- two days of December, 1835, our citizens had consumed by fire twenty millions of dollars, principally in warehouses and merchandise. If the twenty millions of property destroyed had consisted of dwelling houses, it would have turned 100,000 of our citizens into the streets. Ido not state an impossible case. I state an event highly probable to have happened, for London—a city built of less wooden materials—had at one fire, in 1666, 13,200 houses burnt, which occupied 436 acres, and embraced 400 streets, 86 churches, and a variety of magnificent buildings. The destruction amounted in value to fifty millions of dollars. The extensive fire at Hamburgh during the past year, and the constant occurrence of fires throughout our coun try, show the danger we were in. Does any indivi dual still say that we cannot afford to pay so much as this great work has cost ? I assert that security against such awful calamities cannot be too dearly bought, if it is bought at the lowest possible price. But does water cost so much ? London, in 1834, was supplied with 34,000,000 of gallons, and paid for it annually 1,380,000 dollars. Paris is supplied with two quarts per day for each individual, at an ex• pense of 750,000 dollars per annum. The Croton would furnish three hogsheads a day to each of our popula tion, at 600,000 dol. per annum. After all, we have followed but at a respectable distance ancient Rome, with her nine aqueducts, some of some were longer than the Croton Aqueduct, and together were capable of supplying 250,000,000 gallons per day. But history does not enable us to say if all of them were in operation at one time; nor do we know all the purposes in which it was applied. The irrigation of the land was, no doubt, among its most extensive uses. Nor do we learn whether these aqueducts supplied one mil lion or four millions of inhabitants, so widely do the accounts of the population of ancient Rome dif fer. The works of Rome were built by soldiers and by slaves. Ours was voted for by freemen, was constructed by freemen : and we make the aspi ration—that in all ages to come it may bless free men, and freemen only ! But we pass to another branch of our subject—it is the value of the water for domestic purposes. By the almost mysterious property of water, the Croton, without steam-power, animal or human labour, descends into the cellar, and again mounts into the garret of the loftiest house, even up into the cupola of the City Hall. The turn ing of a cock fills the tubs and culinary vessels of the kitchen in a moment, and almost as soon, the fifty hogshead boilers of a steamboat. Now the saving in human time and labour in the performance of these operations is incalculable. The weight of the daily water is equal to 250,000 tons, and it goes itself pre cisely where- you-want it. Providence has given- to• water this indescribable property, that by rivers and streams it flows throughout the globe to sustain every living thing. While food has to be carried or trans ported, water of itself moves and travels for the be nefit of all creation. The Deity, not content with giving it this property, evaporates and draws it to the skies, that it may again condense and distribute itself on the leaves and foliage of the whole vegetable king dom. Numerous analyses have shown the water to be remarkably pure, even before it passed through four settling and clarifying departments of the reser voirs. We leave the farther consideration of the security, pecuniary, and practical advantages of this great work, and pass to make one remark on its moral results. Filth and crime, and cleanliness and virtue are near kinsfolks —the more means and conveniences for cleanliness that are furnished our population, the more industri ous and virtuous they will be. The more good water that is conveniently supplied, the more temperate will be our people, because we shall now no longer afford the poor apology for mixing brandy and rum with water—that of making it drinkable ; and we may hope, the temperance cause, with pure Croton water, and a Croton banner floating to the breeze, will, on the pre sent system, so successfullycarry on the warfare in all future times as to make it impossible for them to find subjects to fill up that part of their corps which now “nsists of reformed drunkards. To the firemen of the city of New York, who have, without pay, performed more arduous duty than properly falls to the share of any of our free citizens, we say that the Croton Water Works were made emphatically for them ; for, though other advantages have been given as reasons for its construction, yet none had so powerful and controlling an influence as the universal allegation that the Fire Department, to enable them to prevent the destruction of the city by fire, must have a full and ample supply of water. Firemen, you have now got it, and I think I hear you say, " With the Croton water for fires and for fire -men—we swear the awful conflagration of 1835 shall never be repeated." Excuse me, fellow-citizens, for adverting to one fact, that in all the expenditures which have been made by your agents for this great work, the accounts of which have been regularly set tled—it is not known or believed that one dollar of your money has been lost or dishonestly applied. In handing over to you, Mr. President of the Croton Aqueduct Board and your associated agents of the Corporation of the City of New York, the Croton Water, and the Works of this Island which have been ;tompleted, I cannot but express my full confidence that you and your associates will recommend—and that the Corporation will adopt such principles and arrangements, in reference to this water, which while it will be made to furnish a large proportion of the in terest on the debt—will nevertheless in some flow from supply the inestimable benefit s w hi c h shouldow this ample supply of " Pure and wholsome water" to our whole community. In fine, that you will be just to the rich and liberal to the poor.

All the advantages peculiar to mutual Life Assurance, aris ing from a division amongst the assured of the whole of the mutual Profits, and that security and freedom from responsibi lity which Proprietary Companies can alone afford, are com bined by the constitution of the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Life Assurance Company, which is the only guaranteed Mug ual Society. The rates of premium are somewhat lower than in most of the rautuatoffices, and for the non-participating, and for those who effect assurances for temporary purposes, or debtor and creditor transactions, Tables of Premium have been prepared, by which a less immediate payment is required than by any other plan. By a half premium credit system one-half of the premiums may be retained for the first seven years, anti repaid at the con venience of the assured : and by the Ascending Scale a greatly diminished rate of premium is required for the first twelve years.

This Institution is empowered by a Special Act of Parlia ment, and is so constituted as to afford the benefits of Life As surance, in their fullest extent, to Policy-holders, and to pre sent greater facilities and accommodation than are usually of fered by other Offices. The decided superiority of its plan, and its claim to public preference and support, have been proved incontestably by its extraordinary and unprecedented success. ASSURANCES MAY EITHER BE EFFECTED BY PARTIES ON THEIR OWN LIVES, OR BY PARTIES INTERESTED THEREIN ON THE LIVES OF OTHERS. The effect of an Assurance on a person's own life is to create at once a Property in Reversion, which can by no other means be realised. Take, for instance, the case of a person at the age of thirty, who, by the payment of 51. 3s. 4d. to the Britannia Life Assurance Company, can become at once pos sessed of a bequeathable property, amounting to 1,0001., sub ject only to the condition of his continuing the same payment quarterly during the remainder of his life—a condition which may be fulfilled by the mere saving of EIGHT SHILLINGS weekly in his expenditure. Thus, by the exertion of a very slight degree of economy—such, indeed, as can scarcely be felt as an inconvenience, he may at once realise a capital of 1,0001., which he can bequeath or dispose of in any way he may think proper.

The substitution of iron tanks for casks in ships has enabled double the quantity of water to be stowed in a given space ; and a similar stowage-saving might be effected with salted provisions, by following Capt a i n Cook's plan of removing the bones: from the meat pre viously to salting; by which there would be also an annual saving of at least 6,000 tons of bones for manure, that are now thrown waste into the sea from the ships of our war and mercantile marine. Salt in excess is a scurvy-producer ; whilst it hardens the lean and tends to expel its nutritious :slices, as well as the oleaginous particles of the fat during the heat of boiling. Olives, on this account, are salted previously to hot pressure, in order to force out the oil from the pulp. Sugar, on the contrary, is a scurvy-preven tive, whilst aiding the retention of the nutri tious juices of the lean, and the oleaginous particles of the fat, and thereby counteracting the hardening and shrinking of the meat, by the escape of these from it during the heat of boiling. When I was servin g on the Brazil station, the dry fatless beef there was always found to be inedible in the mess, after being a fortnight in corn, on account of its excessive saltness, hardness, and dryness ; but a ft er sugar was com bi ned with the salt, no fault was found with it at table as long as it lasted. Hence the benefits that would result to the health of our seamen, soldiers, and emigrants, from having a sufficiency of sugar in the cured meats to neutralise the salt's action, so as to make these meats no salter than was agreeable to the palate, thereby assimilating them to the meats that are fresh. Captain Cook, by introducing into ships the English housewifery practices of cleanliness and ventilation for health-preservation, esta blished a new wra in naval hygiene ; but had he adopted also the English housewifery practice of combining sugar with salt in the meat-curing, he would have had less occasion for the various scurvy antidotes he was obliged to employ; and although there has been a great advance in many naval hygiene matters since his time, it is unfortunate that his system of cutting out the bones before meat salting has not been followed up; as the meat nearest to the bone is not only the first to spoil when the salt does not sufficiently take, but eventually becomes the saltest when it does so. Were, indeed, the bone removed and the mixture of sugar with the salt universally adopted in meat-curing, ship's beef would cease to be known among sailors, when long in brine, by the sobriquets of "old horse," " old junk," " mahogany," &c. ; or a ship-carpenter be puzzled to tell " what species of wood it was," on a salt-hardened piece of lean, cut square and polished, being presented for his inspection. Water in ships' casks soon becomes so nauseous to taste and smell as to be a frequent source of disease, owing to the evolution of inflammable noxious gases by the chemical action of the water upon the wood. A table-spoonful of fresh lime well mingled with a butt-full of water, by a stick-agitation through the bung-hole, not only prevents this, but destroys the contained animalcules, and precipitates the dissolved vegetable matter ; thus keeping the water pure, sweet, and wholesome during the longest voyages; a desi deratum so conducive to health and comfort, that the lime-mingling ought to be enforced in every emi grant ship by the Government agents. P. CUNNINGHAM, R.N. THE VIRTUE of RICH and POOR. Cant as we may, and as we shall to the end of all things, it is very much harder for the poor to be virtuous than it is for the rich; and the good that is in them, shines the brighter for it. In many a noble mansion lives a man, the best of husbands and of fathers, whose private worth in both capacities is justly lauded to the skies. But bring him here, upon this crowded deck. Strip from his fair young wife her silken dress and jewels, unbind her braided hair, stamp early wrinkles on her brow, pinch her pale cheek with care and much privation ; array her faded form in coarsely patched attire ; let there be nothing but his love to set her forth or deck her out, and you shall pdt it to the proof indeed. So change his station in the world, that he shall see in those young things who climb about his knees—not records of his wealth and name, but little wrestlers with him for hia daily bread—so many poachers on his scanty meal —so many units to divide his every sum of com fort, and farther to reduce its small ameunt. In lieu of the endearments of childhood in its sweetest aspect, heap upon him all its pains end wants, its sicknesses and ills, its fretfulness, caprice,, and querulous endurance ; let its prattle be, not of engaging infant fancies, but of cold, and thirst, and hunger ; and if his fatherly affection outlive all this, and he be patient, 'watchful, tender ; careful of his children's lives, and mindful always of their joys and sorrows ; then send him back to Parliament, and Pul pit, and to Quarter Sessions, and when he hears fine talk of the depravity of those who live from hand to mouth, and labour hard to do it, let him speak up, as one who knows, and tell those holders forth that they, by parallel with such a class, should be High Angels in their daily lives, and lay but humble siege to heaven at last. Which of us shall say what he would be, if such realities, with small relief or change all through his days, were his! Looking round upon these people; far fro m h ome , houseless, indigent, wandering, weary with travel and hard living; and seeing how patiently they nursed and tended their young children ; how they consulted ever their wants first, then half supplied their own ; what gentle ministers of hope and faith the women were; how the men profited by their ex ample ; and how v-ry, very seldom,- even a moment's petulance or harsh complaint broke out among them ; I felt a stronger love and honour of my kind com e glowing on my heart, and wished to God there had been many Atheists in the better part of human na ture there, to read with me this simple lesson in the book of life.—Dichenx' Notes. MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) POOLE, Nov. 4.—ln the INorth-West Ward three Reformers have been returned. In the South-East Ward the Tories did not dare to show fight, and Messrs. Durant, Lankester, and Mullett were returned without opposition. Our Town Council now consists of 18 Reform Coun cillors, three Reform Aldermen, and three Tory Al dermen, the latter of whom go out of office next year, when there will not be a Tory in the whole Council. At the first municipal election the Tories suc ceeded in this borough, by certain means, which have been inquired into and exposed, both in a Court of Law and before a Committee of the House of Com mons, in returning, and subsequently electing as Al dermen, .17_out of the 24 members of the Council. By a lavish expenditure of money in the paying of the rates - of paupers, &c., the Tories succeeded at sub sequent elections, until every Reformer was out of the Council, when their extravagant :demands upon the pockets of their fellow townsmen, in the shape of borough rates, and the utter recklessness of their con duct as a body, produced that reaction in the public mind which has ended in our finding ourselves with only three Tory Aldermen in the Council out of the 24 members ; and they never attend a Council meet ing in the mean time. Our expenditure, and conse quently, our rates are lessening, and the better-dis posed of our Tory townsmen confess that public matters are now managed as they ought to be, the Council studying the interest of the Many instead of that of the I ew. ---- - ''''—"."---''"----------- , THE WILL OF TILE LATE .r.IARL OF L EIC ESTER. —The 'personal property of the deceased has been sworn under the value of 60,0001., which is prin cipally bequeathed to his widow and children.
