This valuable article is particularly recommended to the Public as decidedly pre ferable to every other soap, possessing the invaluable quality of eradicating grease, dirt, and stains from Linen, white or coloured, with one fourth the labour required by the use of common Soap, rendering the linen beautifully white and clear. It is extremely harmless in its compo sition, so much so, it is used for washing children of the most tender age. The unpleasant and hurtful effects of wet linen being long on hand is obviated by the use of this desirable article, likewise the things from being torn by excessive rubbing, as they have only once to be rubbed, agreeable to directions on each packet. The Directions must be strictly at'ended to. Originals of Testimonials of the First Families and Public Institutions, also from ex tensive laundresses, may be seen at the Factory. Large Consumers may have a person from the establishment to superintend a trial, and fully prove its merit.. The manufacturers are determined to afford the Public every satisfactory demonstration. (No Family ought to be without it ) It is excellent for exportation. Superior to any fur washing in salt water.

LODGE'S PEERAGE.—Were we re quired to cite an example of what long practice and a combination of industry and talent can effect in bringing a publication as nearly as possible to the s'andard of per fection, this should be the book. Persons who pride them selves upon a knowledge of heraldry and genealogical re search, have pronounced it to be nearly errorless. MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES.—A meeting of the Middlesex Magistrates was held on Friday for the election of a chairman and for other business. Mr. Rotch was chosen as chairman until the county day of next September sessions. A memorial was presented from the parish of Whitecbapel, complaining that the new system of removing Irish and Scotch vagrants would he productive of an additional expense of 5501. a-year to that parish alone, and that the increase of expense to the county generally was already enormous. A motion for adding 100/. a-year to the salary of the Rev. J. Ousley, chaplain of the House of Correction, was, after some op position, agreed to. Other business of no public interest was transacted, and the Court adjourned, leaving much still undisposetl of. A DEAR SEAL.—A short time ago, a re spectable gentleman farmer from the neighbourhood of Melton had occasion to address a letter to Mr. Kitching, the surveyor of taxes, who resides at Clifton, near York, and was about to secure it with a wafer, when it occurred to him that a little wax would he more genteel. He ac cordingly bed recourse thereto, and happened, at the same time, to use an old silver seal, which had been found in ploughing a field, and had been for some time in his possession, which seal, most unfortunately, had upon it some armorial bearing or other. Our readers may judge of the surprise of the writer, when, in answer to his, as he thought, harmless epistle, he received from Mr. Kitching a surcharge of 2/. Ss. for using armorial bearings. This was unbear able; and the party rode over to York, and explained the circumst tures to the surveyor. He was, however, inex orable, and the law imperative; and the only consolation he could obtain was the intimation that he might attend on the appeal day; consequently the person took another journey to York on Wednesday week, where he was met, before the Commissioners of Assessed Taxes, at the White Horse Inn, Bootham, by the surveyor, armed with the Act of Parliament, and the proof of his infringing its provisions in the shape of his unlucky letter. The Com missioners had no option— all they could do was to miti gate the surcharge to IL 45., which was paid.—Doncaster Gazette. The Half-yearly Meeting of the Proprietors of the General Seam Navigation Company was held yes. terday, Thursday, at the office of the Company, 69, Lom bard-street, Wolverley Attwood, Esq., in the chair, and was very numerously and respectably attended. A report from the Directors, upon the operations of the Company during the past year, and on the present et rte and future prospect, was read, and appeared to give very great and general satisfaction. It was stated that the London Mer chant steano-boat, bad been purchased by the_ Company, and that a new steam-boat, of the first class, wi,s being built, and would be shortly launched. The extremely boisterous weather of 1833 had occasioned a very consi. derahle diminution in the number of travellers to the Con tinent, and consequently in the passengers by the steam boats of the Company, which had, however, contended successfully with the storms of the last autumn and wit)_ ter, and had continued running upon the stations during the whole of the season. The position and prospects of the Company were represented to be satisfactory, and the dividend was declared for the half year ending 31st De cember, 1833 ; and after voting the cordial thanks of the proprietors to the chairman and directors, the meeting separated. SINGULAR FATALITY AND REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE.-0a the night of Thursday week, Richard James, hostler at the Pack Horse Inn, in Mickl.gate, in this city, when going up stairs to bed, accidentally set his foot upon some children's clothes, and a pin that was in them penetrated his foot, near the ankle. He took no particular notice of it at the time, but afterwards his foot became inflamed, and the means used to cure it proved of no avail; he continued to get worse and worse, until a period was put to his sufferings, on Tuesday night, when he died raving mad. It is very remarkable, that his brother, William James, was bestler at the same inn for 14 y: are before him, and that four years ago, on the very day of the month on which the above accident occurred, he had the misfortune to break his leg, which also brought him to his end, in a similar manner, on the same day of the month on which Richard died.— York Herald. PORTABLE HOUSE.—A very convenient and handsome dwelling, made entirely of wood, double roofed, and containing two sitting-rooms, two lied-room,, and a kitchen, with a front entrance, and passage down the middle, has been built for the residence of Mr. Pres• ton's son while he is executing such works as require Lis continwince in one place for some time.

On Thursday his Majesty's brig Gannet, 10, Com mander J. B. Maxwell, arrived from the West India sta tion. She left Barbadoes on the 15th ult., and next yoke the Wasp, 18, Commander J. Burney, returning from a cruise, on which she had been sent by Commo• (lore Pell, as a remedy for cholera, prevailing among the crew. Commander B. reported that he had only two cases, the crew having been for some time previously healthy. The Gannet left the Forte, 44 (Commodore Pell), and Sapphire, in Carlisle Bay. The Vestal, 28, Captain W. Jones, sailed on the 15th oh. for Jamaica, to join the Commander-in-Chief (Sir. G. Cockburn). The Despatch 16, Commander Daniell, had captured a Spanish schooner, with slaves on board, on her passage to Maranham and Para. The only death on the station since Commander Agar was Mr. Crane, Purser of the Sapphire, who also died of the yellow fever. The packet was to sail from St. Thomas's on the 16th ult. for England. Lieutenant- Colonel Hon. H. W. Molyneux, 96th Highlanders, and Messrs. Norman, Laurel', and Hoisten, R. N., came passengers. The Gannet sailed yesterday for Sheerness to be paid off. His Excellency the Marquis of Sligo and family em barked yesterday on board his Majesty's ship Blonde, 46, Commodore Francis Mason, C. 8., and that ship sailed in the afternoon for Jamaica, Rio Janeiro, and the Pa cific. The Sparrowhawk, 18, Commander C. Pearson, sailed on Thursday also for the South American station, taking despatches for Sir Michael Seymour, Bart., K.O 8., the Commander.in.Chief. From light and baffling fair winds, which changed to strong S.S.W. gales, the Upton Castle, Captain Duggan, which put back on Wednesday, did not finally get away until Thursday, when she sailed with the wind N.N.W., having Sir John Keane and suite on board, for Bombay. The James Pattison, for the Cape and Swan River, saikd on Sunday with Sir James and Lady Stirling and family, and about ninety settlers. The Ernaad, for Madras and Bengal, sailed yesterday. At Spithead—Tbe Neapolitan corvette Zephyr. In the Harbour—Victory, Royal George, Edinburgh, Excellent, Belvidera, Rainbow, Tyne, Charybdis, Espoir, Nautilus, and Sparrow cutter. The Right Hon. Lord and Lady Vernon embarked on Sunday on board his Lordship's yacht the Harlequin, and sailed on a visit to the most interesting parts of the Medi. terranean. The Romney troop ship, which sailed from Plymouth on Sunday, with the depot companies of the 51st and 94th Regiments, reached Kinsale Head on Tuesday evening list, too late to get into Cork harbour; during the night, whilst standing off and on, the wind blowing very fresh, she was suddenly taken aback, and carried away her main yaid and wizen ; she was compelled to bear up for Milford, where she arrived on Wednesday afternoon, and will remain there to be refitted. The United Kingdom, Robinson, from Galway to Lon don, after beating about in the Atlantic during the late gales, bore up for the Shannon, and anchored in Mulberry 13 iy ; subsequently, during a heavy sea, she lost an anchor, then beat off her rudder, and the sea making a breach over her, she was abandoned ; but more favourable weather succeeding, her cargo was discharged. The Rover, IS, Commander Sir G. Young, Bart., sailed from Sheerness on the 6th instant, direct for Malta, to join the new Commander-in-Chief. That fine new frigate the President, 52, will be com missioned at this port in a few days by Captain J. M'Kerle (1813). The complement is 413 men and eight boys. The Tyne, 28, Captain Lord Viscount In gestre, was on Thursday taken into dock. The Firebrand (which was commissioned as a steamer-yacht for the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland) was paid off on Wednesday by Lieut. Buchannan ; she will be re-commissioned when re-fitted. The Undaunted, 46, is paid off. The brave officer who is to commission the President, Capt. M'Kerlie, was brought forward in the service by. that genuine discriminator of professional talent, the late Lord Exmouth, under whom he lost his arm in the Inde fatigable frigate, when she, with the Atethusa, drove the Droits Homme, of SO guns, ashore. He was made Commander for his services as First Lieutenant of the Spartiate, at Trafalgar, and Post Captain for capturing two 20-gun corvettes, in the Calliope sloop of war, as• sisred by some gun boats, in the Weser River. . . _ We have much gratification in hearing that it has been determined to increase the half-pay of Pursers of the Royal Navy to 55., 65., and 7. per diem, instead of Sc., 45., and 51., as at present. The increase will not be come a chaige upon the Navy Estimates, as it is intended to reduce the allowance made to Pursers in commission, for the care of provisions, from an eighth to a tenth ; by which regulation, in a line of-battle ship, where eighths amount to 500/. a-year, it will be only 4001. a-year. It is also intended, as we are informed, to reduce the entire list of Pursers to an effective list; by which all those who hold or have held civil employments, and all those inca pable of further servitude, from infirmities, will continue to receive their present modicum of half-pay only. It is als,) said that the titular term " Purser' will be ex changed for that of " Accountant." By the present establishment of brigs and smaller ves sels they are allowed but one of the first class of working petty offleeis—a Quartermaster, Boatswain, Gunner, and Carpenter's-AI ste, the pay of the first three of which is 95., and the last one I Is. per month less than that of the same class of petty officers who serve in large ships, whick, at the end of three years, is a loss of 171. 10s. to the toper, and of 191. 16s. to the latter ; and probably the} hunt axife and family to keep out of their pay. The consequence is, that the best qualified men for these stations (and small vessels should especially have such) will not serve in small vessels, as they know they shall have more severe duty to discharge in them than they would in larger ships, especially on home stitions, in the winter months, and must, therefore, yet further diminish their earnings, by being forced to take up more slops front their clothes being sooner worn out.

PLYMOUTH, FEE. 18.-We had not the complete satis faction of seeing the departure of all the outward-bound until Saturday last, when the George Shaw, for Bombay, the Simnel Robertson, for New York, Woorltnancote, with troops fir Jamaica, and about twenty sail, proceeded with the wind at north. Lord and Lady Napier, and two daughtev, Captain and Mrs. Elliott, and the Secretary and Surgeon of the establishment at Macao, with Com mander E. Younge, to join the Melville, embarked in the Andromache, 28, Capt. H. D. Chat's, C. 8., on Friday, and she sailed for China and the Etst India station. She will touch at Rio and the Cape. The Thunderer, 84, Captain W. F. Wise, C. 8., is ordered to take a battalion of 400 Marines, including Colonel Parke's Marine Artil lery, to Malta. It may be easily conjectured that these gallant men are at present intended only as a " Conserva tive " corps, with a view prospectively to more active ser vices. Arrived the Salamander, with troops, from Chat ham ; Dee, with Marines, from Spike Island ; and the Hope transport, with troops, from Chatham, which latter hare been transhipped to the Athol. Sailed (on Friday) the Lynx, Lieutenant Huntley, for the coast of Africa ; Jupiter, troop-ship, having embarked troops here, for Cork and Malta. The Nimrod, 20, Commander J. M'Dougall, will sail to-morrow for the Mediterranean. Toe Mary, High, of Perth, from London for Donegal, was totally dismasted yesterday morning a few miles west DUTCH PAPERS. AMSTERDAM, FEB. 12.—We are requested positively to declare, that what was communicated to us by our London correspondent as a report of the sly, and to which the rise of the Cortes bonds at London was said to be attributed — namely, that the house of Hope and Co., in this city, would contract a loan with the Queen of Spain—is wholly destitute of foundation, that house being neither about to conclude a loan with Spain, nor inclined to do so.— Allegemeine Ilandelsblad.

The Government has pur chased 800,000 chetwerts of corn in foreign countries, which are expected as soon as the navigation opens. Privy Councillor Prince Sergens Golitzen has, with the Emperor's permission, cora uted ten great estates of the government of Moscow into majors' or perpetual en tail, to be the property of the eldest male of the Prince's family, which can neither be charged with debts nor suld. This is the first example in this empire, and if imitated by others, as it doubtless will bS, must be of very great advantage to maßy illustriotrs families, add secure them from ever falling into poverty and decay.—Prussian State Gazette. SOMETHING MARVELLOUS.—A sort of Maria Martin story has recently been imported into Bury. Thus the story runs :—Two men going home in a cart from Bury market on Wednesday, about 7 o'clock in the morn ing, observed a light gleaming from Pakenham.wood. Prompted by curiosity, they made to the spot, and as they approached the light saw a man engaged digging a grave. The grave-digger ran off at their approach, leaving behind him a great coat, his spade, and mattock. The parties then returned to the cart, and proceeded on their journey. They had advanced but a few yards before they came up with a young woman going in the direction of the wood. On being questioned, she stated that she was going to meet a man there by appointment, hut for what purpose has not transpired. —B ury Herald. ST. MARYLEBONE BANK FOR SAVINGS. — The fourth annual general meeting of this institution was held on Tuesday last at the new office, 76, W'elbeck-street, Cavendish-square, the Rev. Dr. Spry in the chair. It appeared, from the reports read to the meeting, that the progress of this bank is of the most rapid and satisfactory description : no less than 1,852 accounts have been opened in the last year. 3,471 deposits' accounts re mained open on the 20th of November last; and upwards of 45,0001. was then invested with the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt : this amount has since risen to nearly 51,0001. The Dukes of Richmond and Newcastle having kindly consented to allow their names to be added to the list of trustees, the vacancies which had occurred during the year were filled up by the appoint !tient of the two Noble Dukes and William Colborne Towers, Esq. The other customary business of the day having been transacted, the meeting broke up. Dear Sir,—ln your reply to our memorial you have not shown how you could (unless trade were universally free) either begin to work your system without immediate loss, or continue to work it without ultimate ruin ; by ruin I mean the destruction of all the funds embarked in the ex. p. riment. Neither have you attempted to refute any one of our arguments. You merely repeat your former asser tion, " that our misery is prolonged, if not caused, by competition." Now, we believe and feel that competition exists by a law of God, as certainly as the planets are k-pt in their courses by another of his laws. We know not what might happen if you or the landowners could dethrone or destroy the Almighty, but we know too well what happens when short-sighted men attempt to subvert his laws, as our landowners have been doing for 18 years ; and we fearlessly assert, that our miseries are not caused or prolonged by competition, but, verily, by that ,uncom petitive system which you advocate, and which, for nearly a quarter of a century, has been in full and fatal operation here. If you will open your eyes, you will see the un holy consequences of that system all around you. It has already, as you and your advocates acknowledge, con verted the steam-engine itself into a curse; but believe me, Sir, there are other nations who will not only adopt the steam-engine, but take good care that it shall not be a curse to them. The agriculturists of England have no competi • tors; and our competing cotton spinners are wretched, because our wretched though uncompeting agriculturists, ignorant of their true interests, have not yet learned to kick the backsides of their oppressors, and teach them at once common honesty and common sense. I know a farmer who gained ss. net profit per acre by his farm in 1793, when his tent was 101. per acre, and the duty on imported wheat 6d. per quarter. The produce of his land sells for no more now than it did then (not quite so much), but his rent is doubled, and his taxes are in creased ; consequently be loses at least ss. per acre by farming, and has his family to keep out of his capital. Yet be is one of those men whom sagacious Nimrod delighteth to set astride on a military saddle, with two horse-pistols in it ! What further proof can you require of the evil tendency of the uncompetitive system than its present consequences? And what are they ? National robbery, national beggary, almost national despair. The final result will too probably be national bankruptcy, the gratuitous subversion of the state; or, perhaps, the subju gation of this country by a foreign Power,—if it be true, as Machiavel asserted centuries ago, that no fully peopled country can long maintain its independence, unless it utterly untax its commercial capital, industry, and skill. If you would know more particularly what have been, and are, the blessed works of your uncompetitive system, read a pamphlet by William Ibbotson, of this neighbour hood, farmer, entitled " Thoughts on the Corn Laws," proving that they impoverish farmers, by beggaring tradesmen ; and, without raising the price of corn here, lower it abroad !" and, of course, give our trade to foreigners. Or inquire of Mr. Woollen, of Rivilin near Sheffield, who will show you from his books, that in 1790 and 1793 lie got rather more for his flour than ha now gets. If you then come to me, I will show you that corn was then at the same price at Hull as at Ham burg, and that it is now one-third cheaper at Hamburg than at Hull ! Hew can our farmers live, with double rents, and manufacturing rivals at half price, destroying their only customers? Unless the price of bread be equalized throughout Europe, by a speedy and utter aboli tion of our corn laws, will not capital inevitably quit this country, and go where bread is cheapest? You may answer, that Mr. Fielden's mills will not take wing, and fly across the Channel. True, they will nut, because they cannot, but other capital can, and will, because it must ; other mills will be erected elsewhere ; and Mr. Fielden's mills, overgrown with moss and weeds, will remain—magnificent, but mournful, monuments of the wis.lom of land-jobbing legislation, and the uncampetiti , • system in all its glory ! Give us free and fair competi tion, and we shall soon have neither poor-laws nor debt, —neither tread-mills nor Trades' Unions,—roither palaced beggars nor victims of palaced robbers. Ts it ntt enough that the consequences of the blessed unco tetitive system are already seen and felt to) plainly, in .he slow silent agonies, the sunken eyes, the downcast looks, the broken hearts, of British misery and unavailing toil ? Would you have them written in blood and fire over every foot of land between John o'Groat's and Penzance ? No, we believe you would not ; we do not suspect you of such cruelty. But we do suspect that you are the poet, avd that the corn law rhymer is the proser. "nhappily for you, the common sense of mankind has outgrown the cradle, and all its lullabies. Write prose, write prose ; any prose is better than bad blank verse. Your excellent grandsire, perhaps, believed in Jack the Giant Killer ; and, perhaps, the good old man has a descendant, whose poetical ph losophy is even more romantic than the feats of giant-killing Jack; but, depend upon it, Sir, the stern eyes ar mod us, glaring with famine, and rage, and de spair, not to be tneekened by tales from the nursery, or which the nursery would pity or despise. Do not suspect hf u e s n o , f b w r is ea h t ing t o speak hin g a thick k atmosphere, scornfully. are Per t h n a n p s se dull v to noderstan li d ke y w our meaning.

We assure you we have carefully read your papers, although, like all your compositions, and those of all your advocates, they want brevity. It is in vain, however, that you or they tell us through a cloud of syllables how productive are the powers of the soil, and what virtue there is in potatoes! Our friends, the Whigs or Tories, with whom we do not yet class you, have told us all that a thousand times, We believe there is a spit it in potatoes, perhaps brandy; but, would it pay for distillation ? The true meaning of the advice you give us, whether you know your own meaning or not, really is neither less nor more than that we should voluntarily, and by agreement, come down to the lowea food that will support life. The trades' unions, if they are wise, will prevent this c itastrophe ; consequently, they will not be wise if they follow your advice. There i s nothing at the end of your system but potatoes ; ths,s can be nothing else ; unless, by giving away our trade foreigners, you can make chaff and chopped straw destrabl ck articles of food for man in this country. You cannot & for you shall not ! The Charles-street gang, whateve they may think, and however they m a y t r y to hid e t h e ir I stratagems, will find no allies among their victims, excep t such as Sampson found when he brought down the roof of the temple on himself and his enemies. I thank you for the two opportunities you bare given me of striking two fresh blows at the sll-b<ggaring bread , . tax. I hope you will' tumid) me with many more such opportunities. Tap, tap, tap, will go, at lass, through the heart of stone. Ido not think you are quite a Na poleon, but you will remember that there was a pet son so called, and that on the 16th day of June, 1815, near a village called Waterloo, he went whithersoever he was ordered to go by a man immeasurably _inferior ta.hicoself. First be knocked his head against Hougomont, then he knocked it against La Haye Sainte, and lastly, (and still obeying the sergeant) he rushed madly up a slope, that he might have the infinite satisfaction of scampering down again, with a ringing in his ears not exactly like the kick of a jacitass. I am, dear Sir, yours very truly, kBENEER 'ELLIOTT. • Steill, publisher, London, On Friday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, a young woman, named Sarah Atkir. i o n , servant in the family of Mr. Benjamin Crackles, of Grafton street, Fitzroy-square, in clearing out a wardrobe press, which had for many years been in disuse, threw a number of pieces of paper, which she found crumpled up togeth er , behind the fire; one of these, it seems, contained, un. known to any of the family, a large quantity of gun powder, which in a few minutes exploded with a tre mendous report, shaking the house to its very foundation. The other of the inmates immediately rushed up stairs, to ascertain what had occurred, and on entering the room (the back room on the second floor) where the accident transpired, they found it so densely filled with smoke that they were for some time unable to distinguish any object before them, th? floor was covered with flakes of burning soot, which had been blown down the chimney, the fire grate was also in pieces, the whole o the plastering of the ceiling shaken down, and the window sash, with the greater portion of the frame, torn from its fastenings, and hurled into the farther part of the back area, smashing every pane of glass. The servant girl was found lying at some distance from the fire-place in a state i of ins e ns i bili ty , w i t h h er c l ot h es b urn i ng i n spar k s n many places. Surgical assistance was procured for her, when it was discovered that she had sustained very severe and dangero us i n j ur y, her left arm being broken, as it is mpposed, by the fall, and one side of her person, from the waist upwards , most dreadfully scorched ; her ee lashes most and the greater portion of the hair on the front of her head are completely singed off, and fears are entertained that her sight isi materially affected, it not entirely de. stroyed.
