TO THE NOBILITY, GENTRY, AND CLERGY. AND TO THE SHIPPING, MANUFACTURING, AND TRADING POPULA- - • ,g duo, i o s nt tho wk e ; lopul ole it trs, b at i va tio o leen 911 ,5 lure, j main e 1 tho 4 , ,11y TION OF ,ENGLAND. It is well known to those acquainted with the Eastern coast of Norfolk. that; during heavy gales, the immediate vicinity of Yarmouth Roads is one of the most dangerous parts of the entire coast of England: The number of wrecks which occur on the Barber, Cross, Corton, and especially the Scroby Sands, has long ago induced a hardy, brave, and intrepid race of men to devote their entire lives to the saving of property and life along the coast. A number of boats called yawls, measuring from 50 to 80 feet long, and from 30 to 50 tons burden, have, at an expense of from 3001. to 4001. each, been built by the joint contributions of the Beachmen, who have f rmed themselves into companies Tor that ptiniose. With these they often leave the shore at the most imminent risk of their lives, not only when the chance of saving property holds out to them the hope of a large reward in the shape of salvage, but with no less earnestness and intrepidity when the only satisfaction they have in prospect is rescuing front a watery grave some of their fellow creatures. • On no occasion is it remembered that this noble and disinterested daring.was more magnanimously displayed than in Sunday, the 26th of January, 1845, on which day, during a'veryheaVY gale from N. W. and by •W. no less than five brigs Were in distress, four upon the Scroby Sand and one upon the Barber. In no one of, these cases - was there, at the me of their condition being alseovered, the slightest probabi lity of saving anything like property. Nothing, therefore, but the warm ,promptings of humanity couhl offer .any inducement to the Beachmen to man their boats : yet they hesitated not a single mo ment, but at once launched their gallant barks and set forward to the rescue. Happily their efforts, in four instances, were successful in saving all the crews. The Caister Beachmen, with their yawl, Storm, succeeded in saving the crew of the Elizabeth, of Scarborough, nine in number. The Holkham Company, in their Yawl, the Red Rover, 38 tons, went off to the brig Jane, of Whitby, from which, although the yawl sustained considerable damage, they succeeded in rescuing the crew, nine in number.

The prominent advantages of this sy.tem of Atmospheric traction, are, that the continuous valve is dispensed with ; roads are crossed u, on a level without interruption of main ; one atmospheric railway can be intersected by another, thus saving bridges, approaches, and leakage ; and a stationary engine every ten miles is sufficient. ' The system combines extreme simplicity with extreme efficiency, and that obtained with a small comparative expense in working and construction. It is estimated that a saving altogether upon the other plans of Atmospheric Railways (having the continuous valve) will be nearly 3,0001. per mile; two or lines can, on this plan, be laid down for little more than the cost of one, upon the other plan. Increased safety is insured, also obstruction and destruction by weather and other sources are placed beyond probability by the mains being buried, &c. The objects of the Company are to purchase the Patentee's right for the United Kingdom, to grant licences to Railway and Canal Companies to use the invention, or lay down the works under con tracts with the different Companies ; and, in the first place, to pro cure an experimental line in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, if found desirable. The source of income is unlimited, and the expenses, with the ex ception of the purchase of the Patents, and laying down the experi mental line, must necessarily be merely nominal. A Model, upon a scale of one inch to the foot, may be seen at work on Wednesdays and Thursdays,• between twelve and three o'clock, at the Company's offices, by application to the Secretary or Officers of tile Company.

I certainly think you have very good reason To be quite out of patience with Winter's long season. But, Gentlemen, much brighter days are at hand, When a beautiful Spring will encircle the laud. You asked me, you know, Messrs. MOSES and SON, To speak with the Winter, and this I have done. I inquired how long he intended to stay, And I said you were all in a terrible way. I told him that-btrdk mere all waiting to sing, And that you had prepared your new stock for the Spring. I explained that the dresses of MOSES and SON Could never be worn till the Winter is done. And when I had talked with the King for a while, I succeeded in making his Majesty smile ; And, Sirs, he assured me, before I had done, • That he'd not disappoint Messrs. MOSES and SON. From this I conclude that your opportune rhyme, Will produce its effect in a very short time. And now, in the hope that you'll long trade together, I remain, yours sincerely, THE " CLERK OF THE WEATHER." A new work, entitled " THE LEVIATHAN OF TRADE," with full directions for Self-Measurement, may be had on application, or forwarded post-free. X s. d.

MOSES and SON, Tailors, Wholesale and Retail Woollen Drapers, Outfitters, anodeneral Warehousemen, 154, Mino ries, and 86, Aldgate, City, opp the Church. C UTION.—E. Moses and Son are obliged to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesmanlike hood of bring connected with them, or it's the same concern, has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons. They •tve no connexion whatever with any other establishment, in or out of London, and those who desire genuine Cheap Clothn should (to pi•Aent disappointment, &c.) call or send to 154, M i n g ories, or 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church. N.B. No business transacted at this Establishment from sunset on Friday till penumet Saturday when %ulnas is maimed till twelve READY MADE. The Young Company, with their yawl, the Sailor's Friend, of 48 tons, succeeded, at very considerable risk, in taking off the crew of the brig Choice, of Newcastle, also nine in number. The Star Company, in their yawl, Phcenix, went off to the Ann, of Sunderland, from which, after splitting the stem and carrying away the mast of the yawl, they rescued and safely landed the crew of nine men. Having thus far been enabled to record the meritorious and suc cessful conduct of these gallant men, who, in addition to the immi nent risk of their lives, have suffered considerably .in the injury done to their property—for which no remuneration eats be anticipated but from the benevolence of a British public, it remains to relate the me lancholy catastrophe which forms the climax to this statement. The Beachmen of the " Phoenix" having safely landed the crew of the " Ann," and being themselves much exhausted, a fresh crew of the same Company re-manned the yawl, and immediately proceeded to another vessel lying in distress on the Scroby ; the wind was then blowing a hurricane. On nearing the vessel, they found the sea running over her, and made an unsuccessful attempt to reach her; failing to do so, they let go their anchor and veered down ; unfortu nately the force of the sea drove the yawl upon the brig and dashed her to pieces ; when the Beaclunen—with the exception of one man (named Abraham Wetherell), who sank with the yawl—got on board the brig, which was now drifting, and every sea breaking with tre mendous violence over her bull. • The accident being witnessed from the shore several men belonging to the different Companies manned the life-boat and flew to their as sistance. The danger of all was extreme, and those on shore trembled alike for the poor fellows on the brig and those in the life-boat. Hap pily she reached the brig though too late for many, some of whom were carried overboard by the falling of the brig's masts, and some drowned on the wreck. Six only of the " Phoenix's crew were saved:; and of the brig's crew, who were in a state of exhaustion when the " Phoenix" first reached ber, the whole perished. Thus in the noble attempt to save the lives of their fellow-men, seven of our gallant beachmen found a watery grave, leaving behind them four widows and fourteen children (ten'of whom are under twelve years of age) totally unprovided for, as well as the aged mothers of the three single men. Their names were Abraham. Wetherell (leaving a widow and nine children), James Shreeve (widow and three children), Ganham (alias James) Hilling (widow and two children), James Boulton (widow), William Warner, Ueorge Points, and James George, single men, but upon whom their widowed mothers, or aged parents, depended for subsistence. • To provide a fund to relieve the necessities of the bereaved—to re ward the noble fellows who so gallantly risked their lives for others— to assist in replacing the serious loss suffered by the boatmen—and to form a nucleus for a permanent fund for the relief of sufferers under similar calamities in future—is the object of the present appeal. Subscriptions will be received at the banks of Messrs. Barclay and Co., and Sir R. C. Qlynn and Co., Loudon; and at any of the banking houses in Norfolk and Suffolk. Signed on behalf of the Committee, W. HURRY PALMER, Mayor of Great Yarmouth, Chairman. • Committee-room, Town -hall, Feb. 24, 1845. CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.—DRY GAS METERS. DEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully stood the tests six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use, they have been adopted by the official authorities of the Houses of Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office, Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other Club-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of gas have passed through some of these meters without regula tion or repair, and which are still working to the entire satisfaction of the gas company and consumers. All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from the use of Denies's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his meters. Testimonials nom the most eminent and scientific men and large consumers can be had on application (or will be f‘ rwarded dont), free of expense, at the Manufactory, 67, St. 3lartin's-lane, Lo Warranted to keep correct in all weathers. BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES. Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, London, JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The gene ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following cautions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, the genuine," but without name or address : some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies," and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they trope will prevent many disappointments. BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom mended as a most useful and convenient sauce; will keep good in all climates.

CLARK'S NEW BRILLIANT LIGHT. Have you seen it ? The nobility, scientific men, and all who have, admit its positive superiority, and admire its simplicity. This light causes no smoke, cannot emit blacks, breaks no chimneys, creates no smell, requires no cleaning, and in its construction is so simple, that any person can trim it. It is so economical that, while producing the light of two argand oil lamps, or the light of twenty candles, it costs no more than two candles. This perfect lamp fitted to persons' own pedestals, for 23 shillings, all complete. To be seen burning at Clark's Lamp Depot, 447, West Strand (op posite Warren's Blacking Manufactory). Clark and Co. have also an improved Oil Lamp used by the 'Trinity House, and all the great light houses in the world, and only just now introduced to public notice. N.B.

Families wishing to try any of the above are recommended to order them through their own tradesmen, taking notice, however, that these being the London Cas h Prices, the Country Dealer must charge higher to cover his expenses of carriage. Where no dealer can be found willing to sell them, Edward Price and Co. will supply quantities of not less than 5/. worth, direct from their manufactory, at Belmont, Vauxhall. On receiving a Post-office order for this amount, they will forward Candles and Oil in the proportions that may be directed; or, to parties wishing for samples and unable to obtain them, they will, on receiving a 1/. Post-office order, forward a box containing 31bs of each of the four sorts of Candles, and a gallon of the Oil. They flx the price of the sample box so high, to avoid all suspicion of their wishing to interfere with the retail trade of the Country Dealers. The trade may obtain the above Candles and Oil wholesale, in London, from Edward Price and Co., Belmont, Vauxhall; Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell ; and W.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sire—Believing you to be really disposed to promote the happiness and enjoyment of the poorer classes of the community, I have been induced to ask your permission to say a few words on the subject of your remarks, your paper of March 18, on the endea vours now making to prevail on the IA gislature to enforce the closing of gin-shops and beer-shops on Sundays. If I thought this would really diminish the rational and healthy en joyments of the poor, I should oppose it as warmly as yourself; but believing that it would be greatly for their benefit, in every point of view, I hope you will allow me to state the reasons for this opinion. I am one of those who have always thought the la bourers of this country—agricultural, manufacturing, and every other class—over-worked, under-paid, under. fed, under-clad, under-educated, and most unjustly de prived of many enjoyments to which their claims, as human beings, as fairly entitle them as those of the highest in the land :—that the green fields, bright flowers, and pure air of heaven, were as much designed for their gratification as for that of the noblest or the wealthiest; and that any restrictions which impede their enjoyment of these blessings ought, if possible, to be re- , moved. I agree with you, therefore, entirely, in the feeling which induced you to say in the article alluded to, "If a labouring man is not allowed to take refresh ment on a Sunday—if he is not to visit his friends, to spend the only day he has to himself in rational enjoy n ent and amusement, what is he to do?" Now the closing up the public-houses on Sunday will not deprive any man of the pleasures you here enume rate. His truest and best refreshments are in the whole some and abundant meals which his own dwelling affords him; and his highest enjoyment of these will be when he is surrounded by his wife and children, or his rela tives and friends. These, indeed, will help to recruit his strength, to increase and purify his blood, to give energy to his body and cheerfulness to his mind. But will gin, and beer, and tobacco, or any other of the intoxicating drinks and substances furnished by the public-houses, and for which alone he can desire to frequent them give. him health, strength, o r t rue p l easure ? Five millions of people in Ireland, and three millions in England and Scotland are ready to answer, after years of practical ex perience, that these destroy health, diminish strength, and, instead of enduring pleasure, produce only a tem porary excitement, which almost invariably ends in nausea, head-ache, fever, loss of appetite, irritability of temper, and every variety of disgust and pain. Besides which, the money spent by the poorest person who fre quents the gin-shop and the beer-shop on the Sunday, when their possession of their week's wages, and com mand of leisure, induce them to sit for hours at a time over the gill, the tankard, and the pipe, would maintain their families in comfort for several days in succession; and thus the wives and children are deprived of their proper share of the comfort and enjoyment which they have a right to ask at their husband's and father's hands. If persons are travelling, and require food and re freshment on the road, or if persons are living at inns and hotels, as inmates of the house, no one desires that any restrictions should be placed on their supplies; but the gin-shops, beer-shops, and taverns, into which so many thousands who have homes of their own, congre gate on the Sundays, are not necessary for such refresh ment, and may therefore fairly be put on the same foot ing as all other shops where provisions, goods, or wares are sold. And then, as to the " innocent amusements and only recreations of the poor," as you call them in one sen tepee, and the " rational employment and amusement," as you call them in another part of the same article, can anything be less deserving these terms than the scenes which the gin-shops and beer-shops continually display? That they are not so " innocent" as ycu up pear to believe, the annals of crime too fearfully prove; since there is hardly a day in which some cases are not brought before the police-courts, which show that drink ing is the origin of more than half the offences and crimes committed in England: and this i s no new opinion. Lord Bacon and Sir Matthew Hale, no mean authorities as judges, gave it as their deliberate opinion that drunkenness was the principal source of all the crimes known to them in their day, now two centuries ago ; and the judges of the present period of 1845 have all borne testimony to the same melancholy truth, in their several charges from the judicial bench ; while the k ee p ers of gaols, the superintendents of huks, the surgeons or lunatic asylums, the coroners of counties and cities, and the guardians of the poor, nearly all concur in tracing the various forms of crime, disease, and misery, with which they have to deal, to the habits of intoxica tion which the gin-shops and beer-shops so fearfully generate ; and especially on Sundays, as the annals of the police-courts in every town of the kingdom, show more than treble the cases of drunkenness on Sun days brought up for examination on Monday mornings than occur on any other day in the week. They are, therefore, not places of " innocent amuse ments," as you suppose ; neither are they places of " ra tional enjoyment or recreation." That only is rational which cultivates, strengthens, and delights the reasoning faculties of men—gin, beer, and tobacco weaken, con fuse, and at last obscure those faculties entirely, in va rious degrees, from being unreasonably and obsti nately " fuddled" to becoming " dead drunk. " And as to re-crearlion, or the making a man anew by reviving his dormant energies into new life, it makes the strongest men helpless as infants, the cleverest men drivelling fools, and the more prudent men ungovernably mad. In truth, ofall the single evils that afflict this country, there is not one that is half so prolific of misery as this habit of using intoxicating drinks. Upwards of fifty millions of money are annually wasted in their con sumption—as much wasted as if thrown into the sea. In addition to which, more property is destroyed by sea and lands, in wrecks and fires—more sudden deaths occasioned by brawls and accidents—more disease en gendered, from dropsy to delirium tremens —more luna cies occasioned by over-excitement of the animal passions —more poverty occasioned by loss of time, unsteady work, and waste of wages— through the excessive drink ing which gin-shops, beer-shops, and taverns engender, than by all other causes put together. Lastly, what shall be said of this monstrous incon sistency? If a baker, a butcher, a cheesemonger, or a grocer keep his shop open on Sunday, he not only offends tho law, but he shocks public opinion. If a hatter, or bootmaker, or a tailor, were seen with all his men in full employment, in an open and large shop on a Sunday, it would be thought a scandal. Now, these might be excused on the ground of their trades being " innocent," and their supplies being really " necessar i es of life." But these are all closed by law and custom, while the most pernicious trade that was ever carried on—the traffic by which millions are impoverished, diseased, and otherwise injured, claims for itself especial exemption from all restraints of days or laws, and demands to be free to vend its poisons and make its drunkards especially on the day set apart by all other trades to rest, recreation, and devotion. If you contend that the Legislature should not inter fere in such matters at all—the plea comes too late—it might have been good a thousand years ago, when our ancestors were little better than the Red Indians of America ; and if we wish to see the effects of unli censed and unrestrained sale of spirituous drinks among a people, Mr. Catlin will tell us of the ravages which the " fire-water" has made among that gradually sinking people. But we live in a civilised community, under a dominion of law, and with a general acquiesence in the principle that " prevention is better than remedy." Hence we have a preventive police—hence lights in our streets and highways—hence bolts and bars on our doors. For this reason gunpowder may not be manufactured in a city lest it should explode—hence carriages and omnibuses are restricted to a certain number of passengers, steam boats to certain rates of speed in crowded rivers, and hence, indeed, the many other rules and regulations which prevent every man from " doing what he will" even " with his own." Upon this principle all public. houses are already licensed, on certain condi. tions, and without such licence none can be lawfully opened at all. Nay, more, they are already obliged to be closed during the hours of public worship every. where ; and have lately been compelled, in London, to remain closed on Sundays from daybreak till one o'clock, from which recent curtailment of their hours the greatest good has already arisen. Let the remaining half of the Sunday be as much respected by the law as the first half, and gin-shops and beer-shops be closed to all on that day, while hotels and taverns, which furnish bed and board as well as drink, are open only to tra vellers and inmates. If this were done, the poor themselves would be the first to feel its benefit, and the muddled dreams of intoxicating drinks, and the suffocating fumes of tobacco must be exchanged for wholesome food and raiment, green-fields, and fresh sir, in which husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, parents and children could all participate together, and for a much less sum than it generally costs the toper and the sot for his only single and selfish gratification. I hope I have said enough to show you that there are at least some grounds for the proceedings you condemn ; and I have sufficient confidence in your genuine English spirit to be assured you will not deny me a hearing, be cause our opinions may differ on a subject which all men are not likely to view through the same medium.—l am, your obedient servant, J.
