It is in solid blocks, weighing from one to two hun dred pounds each, and is as clear as crystal ; it can be sent to any distance, with very trifling waste ; and is used for a variety of pur poses that English Ice cannot be applied to. W. L. has imported some PROVISION SAFES from America, for the use and comfort of Private Families — The REFRIGERATOR, or (as sometimes designated) a Miniature Ice-house. This is a new and useful article of furniture, rapidly coming into use in northern and southern climes ; it is designed to keep cool and sweet such dishes in the culinary department as are necessary to be protected from the heat of the weather during the summer season.. The Refrigerator Is now considered an indispensible article in the economy of every good housewife ; the quantity of food it protects from the weather will more than pay the cost of the article in one year. They may be seen in operation, in their various valuable and useful purposes, at the 'Waterloo Hotel, and families can be supplied with them on moderate terms. American Ice, wholesale and retail.

SPII(IT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. GLOBE.—The Vice-Chancellors of Oxford and Cambridge are taken from the Heads of Colleges in certain orders of rotation established by common consent and for convenience. If a new Vice-Chan cellor is to be appointed every year, as in Cambridge, or every fourth year, as is the practice at Oxford, the advantages of such a system and rotation are obviously great. The rule, of course, is not ab solutely binding, and occasions may arise where it ought to be departed from. An academical Alderman Wood or Gibbs would be passed over without at all impairing the force of the rule. But there is an end of the rule altogether if politics or doctrinal controversies are made grounds for depart ing from it. Some years since, Dr. Lamb, the learned and excellent Master of Corpus Christi Col lege, Cambridge, was passed over, when it came to be his turn to be nominated for the Vice-Chancellor• ship, for no other reason than that he was a zealous Liberal politician. The late Government marked their sense of Dr. Lamb's merit, and of the injustice with which the bigot Heads at Cam bridge had treated him, by appointing him to the Deanery of Bristol. Will Sir Robert Peel have the courage to give any similar slap in the face to the rampant Oxford faction which is opposing Dr. Symons because he is an Evangelical (see the Times articles passim), and will, therefore, probably keep Puseyism at bay, as Dr. Wynter has done ? Great pains are taken by the Puseyite agitators to convince the world that they are not opposing Dr. Symons because he is no Puseyite. But the difference between opposing him because he is no Puseyite, and opposing him because, being no Puseyite, he will pro bably do things, as Vice-Chancellor, distasteful to Puseyites, is a difference which none but a Puseyite can be expected to appreciate. Dr. Wynter was an " Evangelical ;" and Dr. Wynter summoned the Board of Heresy to judge Dr. Pusey's ser mon, and vetoed Mr. M'Mullen's Divinity de gree. Dr. Symons is another " Evangelical," and will probably do similar things •in similar circumstances. This is the logic of innu merable correspondents of the Times, honoured always with large type. Has Dr. Wynter done any thing unconstitutional ? The aforementioned large type gentlemen say that he has. But it does not follow that another " Evangelical" Vice-Chancellor will be led by similar views of religion into similar violations of academical law. Similar religious views will of course lead him to similar opinions on Dr. Pusey's sermon and Mr. M‘Mullen's thesis. But then, it is not on account of his religious opinions simply that the Pusey faction are moving heaven and earth to de feat the nomination of Dr. Symons on Tuesday next. Oh no ! It is all very well now to disclaim re- ligious considerations, and rest the opposition to Dr. Symons on the unconstitutional acts of his brother Evangelical predecessor. But did any constitu tional questions enter into the contest for the Poetry chair ? Those who made Puseyism the test for a Professor of Poetry, would not have the sense to prevent them from making it the test for a Vice-Chancellor. But they have, it appears, the cunning to endeavour to conceal their mischievous motives. What we principally care for in this and all the other Puseyite demonstrations at Ox ford, is the evidence furnished of the theolo gical unity and peace which the ,University secures by the compulsory subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles, and the additional notoriety given by each of these outbreaks to the fact of the existence of a large and powerful body of Dissenting Conformists in a Uni versity which will not abate one jot of the Thirty nine Articles, to 'allow honest Non-Conformists a par ticipation in its advantages. Mr. Newman and Mr. Ward enjoy fellowships; but those whom Mr. New man's and Mr. Ward's writings send unto the Church of Rome, have the door of the University closed upon them. We read, only in last week's Oxford Chronicle, of a beneficed clergyman who, having ,been convinced STANDARD.—One of our morning Contem • poraries (many of our agricultural readers will be able to guess which) commences a long leading article this day with the following paragraph : " Among the numberless proofs which every day supplies of the utter prostration of the agricultural interest may be noticed certain proceedings which distinguished the recent meeting of the Vale of Evesham Agricultural Society." Now, so much do the judgments of men vary upon the same representations of the very same facts, that we draw from the proceedings at the Evesham meeting an inference precisely the opposite of that which would describe the agricultural in terest as in a state of " prostration." On the other hand, we see in these proceedings, to our sense, the clearest proof tlsat the agriculturists are now, al most for the first time in our own history, or in the history of any other country, entering upon the course by which they will do justice to themselves. In saying that this course is an untried one, we of course, admit that it is subject to serious difficulties at first, and opposed by many prejudices ; neverthe less, we are confident that in the judgment of reason able persons the principle will carry us to our conclu sion. When the Economists and Leaguers have been clamouring to deprive the agriculturists of that . fair protection which is allowed by law to every other pursuit of industry, our answer has always been that agriculture is a trade and a manufacture, as much as the fabrication of cotton, woollen cloth, earthenware, or hardware ' • a trade and manufacture, however, subject to heavier burdens and more violent vicissitudes than any other, and therefore requiring, to maintain its existence, a higher degree of protection than any other trade or manufacture. We have never found the Economist or Leaguer who could answer this plain proposition, and therefore we hold it to be unanswerable. Now, if it be true, that agri culture is a trade and manufacture in one sense, it is true in all senses—as true when we demand commercial intelligence, enterprise, and activity from the agriculturists, as when we claim protection on their behalf. It is a remarkable fact, however, that while great fortunes have been realised in other branches of industry, and powerful and dis tinguished families founded by successful traders in silk, cotton, earthenware, wood, iron, &c., the example of such successes on the part of agricultu rists are extremely rare, if any such examples are to be found. The seeming reasons for this are suffi ciently numerous and sufficiently obvious to satisfy surperficial inquirers, but they will not bear a close examination, because they all rest on two fallacies ; first, the notion that the produce of the soil is not capable of an infinite augmentation ; secondly, the opinion that the demand for agricul tural produce is, in like manner, limited. Resting upon these two fallacies, landlords have despaired of considerably augmenting their family estates by any outlay of capital, and have, therefore, neglected to save money for the purpose, while farmers have been but too happy to hold their own, and labour from morning till night for a bare subsistence—both have cast anchor in the existing state of things. But ships at anchor bring home no cargoes ; and agriculture has, in consequence, been left far behind in the race to wealth. What would have been the fate of other branches of industry if they, too, had, fifty or sixty years ago, dropped anchor in the status quo Y What would be now the dimensions of Manchester, Birmingham, and Leeds, if the manufacturers of 1780 had said—We cannot employ more labour, for we have no more to employ ; we cannot hope to extend our markets, for we already find it sufficiently difficult to dispose of our goods ? The manufacturers reasoned differently ; they saw that the demand for labour would produce labour—that the abundant supply of markets would augment and multiplymarkets, and they have thriven accordingly. Why, then, did not the agriculturists pursue thu same course? They were as intelligent and industrious as the manufacturers of 1780, and could command much more capital. The reason was the same that operates up to this moment—they wanted, generally, the encourage ment afforded by the example of success in particular instances, the great stimulus in other departments of industry ; and the want of such examples is to be ascribed to one important pecu liarity in agricultural pursuits. i n every other pursuit the same man. commands and applies the amount of capital necessary Car ensuring success, also owns it, and reaps the profit •of its employment, and thus capital is abundantly applied. In agriculture the landlord has, or can command. capital, but has no urgent motive to employ it. The tenant, on the other hand, has every ima ginable motive to employ capital, but, he neither has it in sufficient quantity, nor can command it; capital, accordingly, is not applied to the cul tivation of the soil in anything approaching to its proper amount, and the soil does not produce one half of what, by a small additional outlay, it may be made to produce. But here it will be objected, that a great augmentation of produce would ruin the farmer by exceeding the demand, and by, conse quently, reducing prices. This is a remnant of the old error of Lord Liverpool's day—the error of over-production. It was not, however, too much production that created the distress in the five or six years after the close of the war, but too little money in the market to pay for it. If the farmer, however, pro duce three quarters of wheat where before he pro duced but two, is he a loser, though wheat decline 10 or 20 per cent, upon the quarter ? There is nothing to be feared from the great increase of c exporting Andonnproduction, if m a d e gra d ua ll y, as i n th e na t ure o f things it must b e ma d e. Nay, agr i cu lt ure may be, and probably w ill b e, a more p ro fit a bl e trade long after thi s country shall have become e h should ita cornnot b e exporting om e ancountry.- r soil and climate are not i n f er i or to th e average o f th e co rn exporting countri es o f t h e cont i nent o f E urope. wtryy ? Our Our constitution and laws are better adapted to the protection of every branch of industry than the constitution and laws of any other country. Our people are the most industrious and skilful in whatever pursuit they engage in ; and we have infinitely more capital to give effect to their exer tions. If labour is dearer with us, its dearness is not found to affect other branches of industry ; and there is no reason why we should not send a quarter of wheat to the Continent with as fair :a prospect of underselling rivals, as we can send a bale of cotton. To this we firmly believe it will come, if the Legislature continue to agriculture a fair protection, and if only agriculturists, more particularly landlords (for all depends on them), will but follow the advice given to them at the Evesham meeting. This advice may be shortly described as incorporating the land lord's capital with the tenant's industry and skill —each receiving a due share of the return. Let the landlord, in a word, make all important, expensive, and permanent improvements, and charge the tenant a moderate interest for the outlay. This plan has been adopted with complete success by the Duke of Wellington, by Lord Harrowby, Mr. Barneby, and many other landlords. The land is drained or otherwise improved by the landlord, who charges the tenant, in some of the in stances quoted at Evesham, five per cent., and this five per cent. the tenant most cheerfully pays out of a profit of 10, 15, or even '2O per cent., which he derives from the arrangement. The landlord can, however, obtain money upon his estates, in the present state of the money market, at three per cent. or a little more, leaving him a profit of two per cent., or nearly two per cent., upon a transaction by which otherwise he greatly benefits his property. Such are the pros pects of a branch of industry, which our dolo rous Contemporary describes as in a prostrate state. Nor are the most important class of all, the agricultural labourers, unconcerned in the bright prospect. Whatever gives additional energy to farm ing puts bread into the mouth of the labourer and the labourer's children. It was stated by Lord Sandon, at Evesham, that on two farms, where the number of labourers had previously been no more than nine, forty have been called into employment by the new plan.

[ Chatham Chatham Athlone Isle of Wight FATAL ACCIDENT IN TDB TURNIIAM GREEN - ROLD.—On Friday an inquest was held at St. George's Hospital, before Mr. Iliggs, on the body of William Groves, aged 39, a farmer, of Southall-green, Middlesex. William Shiny said that on the morning of Tuesday, the 24th ultimo, at about two o'clock, he was walking along the Turnham Green road, near the Barley Mow, when he saw a horse and cart standing by the side of the pond, and the deceased, in a state of insensibility and much in jured about the head, lying close by it. Witness endea voured to rouse him, but being unable, he called a police man, and had him conveyed to the hospital. Edwin Earthy, police-constable 103 T, said that he found the deceased lying in a pool of blood in the middle of the road. Since then he had heard that the deceased had been drinking at a public-house in Hammersmith that night, and left it in his cart rather the worse for liquor. Deceased was a man, generally, of sober habits, and was much respected in the neighbourhood. There was not the slightest suspicion, as had been reported, that he had met with any ill usage, and witness thought that he had accidently fallen from the cart whilst going to give his horse some water. Mr. Potter, the house-surgeon, said that the deceased died on Tuesday, from fracture of the skull and laceration of the brain. Verdict—" Accidental death." THE LITTLE B OY , F RANCIS KELLY.—On Wed nesday last, under the head of Bow-street, r.o gave was that report of a case which came before Mr. Jarrdoni ine.his homeit that of a little boy who, having run away a nd isa fellow in Bristol, came up to London on foot, he li tt le - s sleeping in a door-sway in the Strand. without a food, The and re p o with out h- i n / was sent about his business , and told to walk back again to Bristol,hebeing a n te money the o time fi nd him ny. T oltiea farthing Sun has attracted the attention of several at h iw humane persons who have called upon our reporter Bow street. One lady came on Friday to ascertain where t h e boy was to be found, as she would willingly take bins down to Bristol, she being resident there. No ac count, however, was taken of the poor little fellow, but h e was sent about his business without a question beinc , asked as to where his parents lived, and how he in tended to get home. The lady appeared very much dis appointed, and expressed the great regret she felt at the wanner in which the case had been disposed of. (From Simmondr's Colonial Magazine.) Sines the remission of the duty on Canadian flour, combined with the known aptitude and fertility of our Canadian provinces, and their admirabl e a d a pt a ti on to the growth o f the finest wheat, the cessation of the ravages caused by the fly in the extensive fields for merly covered with that grain, in the eastern portions of Canada, and the construction of a ship canal round the rapids of the St. Lawrence, to facilitate its trans port to the ocean, the commerce of the lakes has be come an object of transcendent consequence and the greatest value. 'When the long chain of water com munication, intersecting countries of unbounded fer tility through the whole American continent, from the Gulf of Mexico to th e G u lf of Labrador is being traversed, without interruption, by every description of vessels—ships, brigs, schooners, steamers, steam propellers, barges, and boats—it w ill be admitted' that this branch f commercial enterprise is highly interesting and deserving every attention. Chris topher Colles was one of the first individuals who directed his attention to the inland navigation of the huge waters of the western world, which, at a very early period of American enterprise, naturally riveted the attention of the mariner, the merchant, the me chanic, and the farmer. Jesse llawley wrote many valuable essays, demonstrating the practicability of connecting the lakes with the Hudson river, and, thus, with the Atlantic Ocean. De Witt Clinton, a Governor of the State of New York, was the first who put the plan into execution, amidst every de scription of opposition, ridicule, and reproach. The canal, named after the vast lake which it connected with the ocean, the Erie canal was termed Clinton's ditch. The natural valley of the St. Lawrence, like that of the Mississippi, being the proper outlet and channel for these worlds of waters, was not long before it became the object of attraction, and, not withstanding th e i m p e di men t s t o it s successful explo ration, by the numerous waterfalls and rapids in its course, more especially that hugest and grandest—one of the wonders of the world—the mammoth cataract of Niagara —the vast importance of vanquishing these obstacles of nature became every day more apparent, and ultimately eventuated in the construction of the two canals—the Erie canal from Buffalo, at the eastern extremity of Lake Erie, with the Hudson river, and the 'Welland canal, on the Canadian side of Lake Erie, commencing at Gravelly Bay on that lake, and entering Lake Ontario, at its western ex tremity at Port Robinson; .these canals forming, to gether with the lakes and the river St. Lawrence, an inland water communication of upwards of 2,000 miles. The rapid increase in the value of property along the whole line of the Erie canal, particularly through the beautiful valley of the Mohawk, soon convinced the most sceptical of the forethought, wisdom, and prudence, of De Witt Clinton. The timber of the majestic forests skirting its banks, in stead of being burnt, as the preliminary step to culti vation, was soon borne on its bosoms to those markets on the Atlantic coast where it was in great demand, and of inestimable value. The hydraulic powers, fur nished by the various streams falling into the Mohaw k river, were soon required for manufacturing purposes ; and the gloomy wilderness—the haunt of the savage , and the lair of the beast of prey—becam e the site of cities, towns, hamlets, homesteads, orchard s, fields, gardens, and a large, and happy, and pro s - perous population. From Albany, on the Huds (n river, to Buffalo on Lake Erie, a distance of 3 70 miles, the whole country is now one continued suc cession of farms, with numerous populous towns an d villages intervening; and the Erie canal has been o r. e of the most useful and lucrative public undertaki rgs ever carried into execution. The great value of this gigantic water communication arises from the boun B less fertility of the extensive country it traverses. Our present concern is with those portions pertaining to the British Crown, and in immediate connexion with the river St. Lawrence. The lakes bounding that territory are lakes Superior, Huron, St. Clair, Erie, and Ontario. These majestic lakes were first navigated by the French; and the earliest description given of these vast waters was by one of the enter prising and pious missionaries who accompanied th e spirite La Salle in his first interesting and perilous voyage. During the summer of 1679, a vessel was constructed on the shores of Lake Erie, called the Griffin, commanded by La Salle, having a crew of Frenchmen, and a humble Flemi s h recollect, La Pere Hennepin, the spiritual director of these navigators, and the faithful chronicler of their toils. These lakes never having been traversed before but by the frail barque of the red men of the immense forests that skirted their shores, they sounded as they went. Their first anchorage was contiguous to those beauti ful islands at the western end of Lake Erie, near the entrance of the river Detroit, the scene of warfare between the British troops and the American brigands in 1837 and 1838. Many portions of Canada still bear the names of these early pioneers, Tonti, Charle voix, Marguette, and others. The great Cardinal de Richelieu, whose chalice, vestments, and other per sonal effects, are still treasured up with great care in Lower Canada, was the first statesman whose powerful mind was directed to the commercial importance of the lakes. He devised a system for the collection and shipment of the furs obtained in the north-west regions for France, and established a line of forts from Quebec, through the lakes, to the remotest regions of the west. At the Sault de Saint Marie, Green Bay, Michilimackinac, Detroit, Niagara, Fort Stanwix, and other places on the lakes, trading ports were established by the early French merchants, who acted as agents for the French Government. Within the memory of the present generation, the annual collection of voyageurs assembled at Montreal, in the early summer months, and departed amidst great ceremony and pomp, in their numerous canoes, on the Ottawa, to carry on the North American fur trade. In 1668, the Hudson's Bay Company obtained a charter, and afterwards the north-west Company monopolised the trade In furs. After many conflicts with the Indians and the French, the English became possessed of the north-west re gions, and during the whole progress of the American Revolution, until the declaration of peace in 1795, warfare continually interrupted the settlement of the borders, and arrested the commerce of the lakes. The western posts on the lakes were surrendered in 1796, but it was not until after the contest on the lakes., during the war of 1812, that this important naviga tion may be said to have occupied any real attention. In reality it was not until the introduction of steam into these waters that their trade and commerce may he fairly said to have made much progress. Lake Su perior, the vastest and largest of these inland seas, 1,116 miles in circumference, has yet but one steam boat on it ; but the boundless mineral wealth on its shores will, doubtless, soon give an impetus to the navigation to this great inland sea. From the rapid settlements on the borders of Lake Michigan, and the country beyond it, that lake has many steamers and schooners constantly plying on it. With the excep tion of the steamers that are constantly passing through Lake Huron from Buffalo, and the steam propellers from Oswego, on Lake Ontario, to Chicago, there is but one steam boat on Lake Huron. On Lake Erie there are nearly 100 steamers of various sizes, many of great magnitude, conveying from 1,200 to 1,500 passengers at a time to the settlements on Lake Michigan. On Lake Ontario there are nearly forty steamers, those on the Canadian side carrying the mails between Kingston and Toronto, of great size and power, and commanded by most expe rienced and excellent captains. Those who have once had the pleasure of making a passage with Captain Colclough, the obliging and able commander of the Princess Royal, will soon find an excuse to make a second. It is impossible that anything can surpass the attention and arrangements to be met with in these excellent vessels. There are numerous lighthouses on the lakes, and every assistance has been afforded to their secure navigation. The practice of towing barges, which had been generally and successfully carried on, on the Hudson river, was found impracticable on the lakes, in consequence of the severe storms to which they were frequently subjected ; but since the introduc tion of the screw propeller into schooners and large vessels, the necessity has been ob v i a t e d, an d a vas t deal of merchandise is now carried on by this mode. The celerity, convenience, and safety with which steamers may descend the rapids of the St. Lawrence, has been found to be one of the most useful and suc cessful experiments made in that new application of steam 'power. During the month of June, in this present season, the fine schooner Adventure, the pro perty of the Toronto and St. Lawrence Steam Navi gationer Company, made the quickest direct run ever known between those large and populous c i t i es. T The distance distance is 470 miles, and she wen t t wo fro d m a clays and a to Montreal, laden with ' froieth e t, in entire satisfaction of adaptation of this class of the quarter, Company,det these waters.

The natives have decided that point. The "Battle of Ma - 'menu," has been a murderous one, and it will not have added to the glory of France. It appears that the Otaheitans were the victors ; and when offers of peace were subsequently made by Governor Bruat, the answer returned vas, "Before any propositions would be con sidered, the French Governor must rester, to life their murdered countrymen."—Patriot.
