Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap 51ying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases. l'ublishod.by tho Author, and may be had of Kent and Richards, )2, Paternostet -row; Hammy, 63, Oxford-street; Starie, Tichborne street, Haymarket; Mean, 39, Comhill ; Gordon, 146, Leaden hall-street, London ; or, free by post for torty-two stamps, from the Authoes Residence, 37. iledforc . .-square London.

He had not been in the room many minutes before he was alarmed by the report of an explosion immediately be neath him; on re-entering the furnace-room to ascertain the cause of the 110i9 , , he found the place in limey, which he made an ineffectual effort to extinguish by P' turirs' several pails of water over. _them. Ho was nearly suff?cated by the smoke, and was removed in a state of insensibility by some persons who fortunately came to the spot. The alarm bing given, and messen gers dispatched to the the-offices, aid was speedily procured. The engine hose was carried round the church from Fleet-street, and the flames after some difficulty extinguished. A great pant the flooring of the chorister? room was, however, burnt, but fortu nately the sacred edifice escaped without injury, and Di vine service: in the morning was performed as usual; immediately after the service Sir G. Rose, Sir B. Cum ming, and other benchers, visited the place, and insti tuted an inquiry for the purpose of learning the cause of the outbreak. The result showed that for some time past the man in charge of the furnace-room bal been in the habit of piling bundles of wood over the boiler o f the furnace to dry. On Saturday last a great quantity was placed there, and yesterday morning, shortly after the fires were lighted, the heat of the boiler set the whole of the wood 'in flames. The explosion was , no doubt, caused by the bursting of the slate roof from the action of the fire. In order to prevent the possibility of another outbreak two firemen were left in charge of the church during the whole of Sunday night. THE PROTECTION MOVEMENT IN SOSSEX.—PET WORTH, JAN. 19.—A Protectionist meeting took place here this morning, in a large tent erected in the Markeb square, adjoining the Town-hall. One peculiarity of this meeting was that the chairman, as well as the movers and seconders of the resolutions, were all tenant-farmers and tradesmen. The resolutions were of the usual kind, demanding the reinstatetnet t of protection and the dis solution of Parliament. Mr. Townley' Mitford,. formerly high sheriff of the county, who avowed himself a Pro- I tectionist, attended to oppose the objects of the mee tine, `on the ground that f ree trade ' not yet ernbad a fir trial.

The sub-committee appointed to report upon the most advisable mode of insuring to female emi grants a proper reception on reaching the ports of their destination in our colonies have deemed it ex pedient to include in their report the information which, in the course of their inquiries, they have col lected on several other points connected with the pre sent undertaking. They accordingly propose to divide their report into the following heads :- 1. The proper selection of emigrants. 2. The most effectual mode of protecting the emi grants during their transit to the colonies. 3. The aid and protection to be insured to them on landing. 4. The cost of their outfit and passage. L THE PROPER SELECTION OF EMIGRANTS. The sub-committee, after having examined care fully the reports of the emigration agents in our colonies, and having acquired much valuable infor mation from her Majesty's Emigration Commissioners in London, as well as from other parties practically conversant with the subject, have come to the con elusion that it is of vital importance to the success of the present undertaking that those persons only should be selected for emigration whose. characters for morality and industrial habits will bear the strictest scrutiny. The evils occasioned by the admission of even one bad character into an emigrant ship are incalculable, not only on account of the moral contamination to which the remainder of the females-ow-board tee-ex posed during the voyage, but also in consequence of the suspicions which the known misconduct of indi dividuals engenders in the minds of the colonists against the whole party, by which they are liable to be deprived, on their arrival, of all chance of ob taining respectable situations, and to be exposed to dangers and temptations from which they can scarcely escape. . _ . The poor and friendless females of this country will thus be stimulated to more active exertions for the preservation of their good characters, and for the ac quirement of the qualifications which will render them eligible subjects for emigration, whilst the colo nies will receive indisputable benefits from the supe rior description of immigrants, by which the gradual adjustment of the disproportion of the sexes under which they now labour will be effected. The following are the recommendations which the sub committee offer under this head:— 1. The candidates for emigration should not exceed 35 years of age. 2. They should be entirely free from any mental or bodily defect likely to impair their usefulness as settlers. 3. They should have had the smallpox or have been vaccinated. 4. Their characters for industry and morality should be satisfactory and it is desirable that they should read and write. 5. They should have been accustomed to washing and cooking, or have had some experience in domestic service, as housemaids or nurses.* In order that the character and the habits of the candidates for emigration may undergo a still further test, the sub-committee recommend the establishment of a probationary-house, capable. of accommodating about 50 females, wherein they might reside for a short period prior to their embarkation. An ar rangement of this nature would afford the surest means of ascertaining the real value of the testi monials and recommendations which had induced the committee to select the. inmates of the' probationary house as emigrants. During their sojourn there they may be advantageously employed in preparing their outfit, and in the acquisition of any elementary instruction in domestic economy of which they may appear in need. • The eligibility of applicants for admission into the P - rohationary-house should be decided upon by a sub committee, assisted by a matron conversant with colonial life and its requirements, and by a surgeon. The general management of this establishment should be regulated by rules and orders, to be determined upon by the said sub-committee. 2. THE MOST EFFECTUAL MODE OF PROTECTING TUE EMIGRANTS DURING THEIR TRANSIT TO THE COLO- NIES. The experience of those engaged in emigration has led the sub-committee to the conclusion that the best description of protection which can be afforded to young females during their passage to the colonies is that which they enjoy on board the Government emigration ships, in which the strictest discipline is maintained, and where the emigrants are generally benefited by the surveillance of a clergyman or a schoolmaster. Yv Tbe sub-committee trust that when the Colonial Land and Emigration CommissiOners become satisfied as to the charocter of the emigration which the com mittee proposes to direct to our colonies, they will see no reason for withholding from their emigrants the se advantages, which it would scarcely be in the power of the committee otherwise to insure to them. Should, however, any difficulty occur in obtaining for their emigrants passages in Government vessels, the sub-committee would advise that they should be sent out in small parties on board free emigrant ships, with a view of securing to them that protection which the presence of married couples and families, inte rested in the maintenance of order and decency, would, to a certain degree, afford. And they would further advise that, where opportunity offers, the advantage of similar religious instruction to that usually given in the Government ships should be secured for them. The sub-committee have received from all quarters the most decided testimony as to the inexpediency of freighting vessels entirely, or even chiefly, with female emigrants, experience having proved the impossibility of preserving good order and discipline under such circumstances. It was also proposed and carried,—" That the sub committee be re-appointed to carry out the recom mendations of this report, so far as relates to the dispatch of emigrants" Further, it was propos e d an d carried; onlbe mo tion of the Earl of S. Germane,—"That a com mittee of selection be forthwith appointed, with in structions to prepare ,a list of fifty candidates for emigration." SIDNEY HERBERT, Chairman. * The sub-committee have drawn up forms of appli eaf ion and blank certifitates of character, which the car.- didates fur (migration will be required to fill up. • (Prom the Times.) In the midst of the splendour and abundance .of this country there is so appalling ae amount of tlqualor and destitution, that the imagination almost recoils from conjuring up before it the alternate pictures that would convey a faithful idea of the social condi tion of one of our great cities. It would be easy enough to dwell upon.the contrast between the ex tremes of human fortune presented to the eye of the observer as he passes along the Landon streets, and yet how faint are its outward signs, in comparison with the inward agony of extreme destitution in the midst of civilization. The presence of the evil and its enormous amount are well ascertained facts. Not only is there no dispute thus far, but we • are all agreed as to the necessity of checking the spread of " pauperism," and administering relief to those who, whether by circumstankes beyond their control, or more directly by their own faults, have been worsted in the game of life. Now, there is no use in de ceiving ourselves as to the effect of i n di v id ua l e ff or t s or of gusts of passing benevolence. It may be easy enough to minister to the necessities of A and B; but C and D are crouching against the wall a little further on, their penury as extreme, their abasement as deep, as that of the persons who may haie been snatched from a fate otherwise inevitable by the hazard of fortuitous chaiity. The impulse to give relief to the afflicted is implanted in us at our birth, and the attempt to stamp it out of our hearts by a steady course of syllogisms is but an endeavour to degrade human nature. :But mere almsgiving, how ever well intentioned, will never attain any great permanent end, or pioduee• any general effect worthy of mention. The mixture of feelings with which we contem plate the humane effort that is in course of opera tion in behalf of the dtstressed needlevvomen may be gathered from the above brief remarks. That any considerable number of young person t in so trying a situation should. he assisted to emigrate to our distant colonies, under a proper system of c h ec k s and restraint s , in ord4r that the fund be not perverted to the benefit 'of undeserving objects, will no doubt prove of the utmost advantage to the persons so assisted. That iNny young women who would have pined itialy in wl'etched garrets at home with wan cheeks and broken health, and that others who would have been reserved for a still worse fate, will in those remote dependencies of the British empire become happy wives and mother, we have no manner of doubt., Those who are disposed to contribute their " don4tion," or their " mite" to the fund for promoting male Emigration may d o so in a cheerful spirit an with a quiet consci ence . Every shilling so contrib ed will buy off a full l shil ling's worth of misery fr in a class of persons who have, unfortunately, but too few opportunities of ex tricating themselves from the tideway of evil fortune. A man fairly thrown upon .his beam ends may do a thousand things—but what can a woman do ? She may go for a governess, ora companion, if she can ob tain employment. She may paint fans, or, if she have a turn for the plastic arils, and the market be not overstocked, she may try her hand at wax flowers. Beyond these and two or three other similar resources a woman is only .separated from - the union, or from w ou o s m an e d n d th e e a r t e h f s o , re by is l n ie e r oe n as e a e r d i l l e y . death in the streets, or from a degradation worse o th f a n n ee a dle th - a large c one sl a s . The central reservoir of &stitution in London is fed by innumerable rills of poverty from every class of English society. The shirt one wears m a y no t im probably he the result of ii long vigil by the daughter or widow of a member of one of the learned profess sions who has been suddenly called away, of a West Indian merchant or an Irish, landlord. 'Whoever she might have been, educated with whatever pains, reared. in whatever luxury,' that long vigil and weary task-will but entitle the weary workwoman to a few pence—a pittance searcel7 . sufficient to procure so much sustenance as will strengthen her poor fingers for the discharge of another task of the like nature. Not only are the ordinary reasons for contributing to a charity potential in such a case, but where the object is to relieve the distress of women in so help less and forlorn a condition as these, we should hope that the principles of every Christian and the impulses of every gentleman will be found enlisted on the same side. We must, however, at this point, again protest against the eupposition that persons who have con tributed to this praiseworthy object can be permitted to salve their consciences over with the supposition that enough has been done. We have no doubt that beiere any long time has elapsed the organization of a continuous of emig ra ti on w ill b e one o f th e mostuseful, system asitc certainly will be one of the most ra tional, developments of the poor-law. A license of this sort has already been granted to the guardians of i en It m p w u a csietl ofoe o r c e b lnrodanytgi lastnbge a a e n ,v,e i pn m , p ltia r p o e v rp e ,a rn , e oa n cbh t oiu i a n tl unions, and although it has not as yet b een extens i vely t. actedatfrhuoitsmhor union to union th roughout the country, and maintaining him es a perennial inmate of some workhouse or other, that it would be more advan tageous to pass him on once for all to a d i m s a wills one parish where he will b e a b le to make his own won and will trouble th e b oard no more. The system doubt, is require pe eu l g i a r r e l a y t discretion lisble to abuse, unless its wor ki ng b e watched with the most jealous ey e . I n such a case as this, ste no in how ever, we may relieve ourselves with the reflection that boards of guardians have hitherto steered very clear of the sin of over prodigality. They are as unwilling to pay down a round sum to free themselves from a disagreeable claimant as an indifferent whist player is to part with his honours. It was in the course of the investigation of the lamentable affair at the late Mr. Drouet'e, if we remember right, that the calcala tion was accurately put forth of the comparative ex pense of rearing a pauper child in pauperism or of dispatching an emigrant out to Australia. There is but little occasion to add that the balance was found to be heavily in favour of the emigration scheme. Now, if we use this result, within reasonable limits, in a con sideration of the policy o f our present poor. law, we cannot but foresee that emigration, upon an extensive and organized scheme, must soon be engrafted upon the old method of administering the law. If the boards of guardians will not see the necessity of availing themselves of so excellent a subsidiary means of keep ing down the pauperism of the country and of re lieving the tension upon the overstrained rates, we are not without a remedy. The matter is now ripe for di cussion in the Houses, and no doubt the ques tion will be entertained with an attention commensu rate with its importance. Having thus earnestly repudiated the idea that any mere scheme of benevolence, however laudable it itself, will ever operate in any permanent or efficient way upon the aggregate distress, even of one class of sufferers, such as the distressed needlewomen, we return again with pleasure to the sub ject of this charitable scheme. The sub committee appointed to establish the conditions under which the objects of the charity shall become entitled to its benefits has published a report, which will be found elsewhere ; most of the restrictions and rules laid down appear rational enough, some, per haps, a little arbitrary, but where there is so much of misery under every category, no doubt any moderate restriction will not defeat the objects of the donors to the charity. It may relieve the minds of those who are still hesitating as to whether they shall contribute to the fund, to know than no young woman but such as can give good guarantees of previous character will be admitted to a participation in its benefits. The greatest care will be taken that on the outward voyage the young emigrants shall not be ex posed to any deleterious or contaminating in , . fluences. Measures have also been concerted with the Colonial Land and Emigration Commis sioners, who have placed at the disposal of the com mittee the machinery established in the colonies " for securing to the new comers the same protection, aid, and guidance, which they are in the habit of affording to parties who emigrate under their own direction." There is to be a Probationary House, capable of ac commodating about fifty women, in which they will be retained for some time previous to their embarca tion, in order that their characters and pa s t li ves may in the meanwhile be subjected to satisfactory tests. The sub committee, in short, appears to have set earnestly to work in the task of removing the most natural and plausible objections to this benevolent project. Ur der such protest as the one we have just entered, the scheme may be safely recommended to the generous consideration of the public. I tiSEI IloasEs.—Tne straw-ship Ajax, arrived in the river from C.)rk, has brought eleven horses, the produce of Ireland, as part of a large general cargo. MR. H. DEMPSTER AND THE H. E. I. COMPANY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,—For the honour and credit of nautical science, so long as I had means of my own, or could be sup plied by any relatives and friend 4, it never once oe, curred to me to exhibit my nautical improvements (now pretty well known to the public) for money, thieking that some one or other would have picked me up before getting altogether on the brink of despair. Latterly, since coming ,to London (June 16, 1849), I have been obliged to solicit some help to assist me on with my experiments. The success I have met with, my present position and future pros pects, may be gleaned from what follows : Oa applying to the H. I. Company, they gave me 51. Sir Charles Forbes, Bart... gave 12/. ; Sir James Duke, Bart. (then Lord Mayor), 11.; Sir John Pirie, 11. , James . Mstheson, Dq., M.P., U.; A. Anderson, Dq., M.P., 1/.; Captain A. Forbes, 1/.; A. Jardine, Esq., 1/ ; Sir Charles Mslcohn, R.N., Sir Baldwin Wake Walker, R.N., Captain Hamilton, R N., Lieutenant-Colonel Sykes, J. P. Muspratt, Esq., J. C. Whiteman, Esq., Mason, Eaq., Herbert, Esq., J. G. S. Lefevre, Esq., G. R. Porter, Esq., Nayes, Esq., E. Speer, Esq., T. C. Harrison, Esq , H. and T.

Bonnsr, Galbraith, Eaq., Pollock, V , q., Carni F fron, Esq., --Martin, tsq., J. Macgregor, Esq , M.P., P. Fenings, Esq., and, a, few others individually vivo . smaller sums. The greatest part of amount received in this form having been expended disseminating information on my nautical improvements, and finding a difficulty to increase the number of my patrons, and thinking that the Hon. East India Company, as a body, might again come to the rescue, with a distant hope that - they ultimately may feel: inclined to adopt me as a protege of theirs, as the nautical improvements originated with me whilst in the Bombay pilot ser vice, I again applied. All my correspondence for improvements that ever I gave to the public I always. directed copies to the Hon. East India Company, and were I not certain that my services have been of much greater value to the public generally. since I left my situation at Bom bay than-they would have been had I remained in the pilot service there until this time, which would have entitled me to a pension, I would not now presume in the attempt to show that I consider myself to have a slight claim upon their sympathies. The following answer to my application for a little aid to help me through, and my-succeeding letter, will show exactly my present position, and where I consider any slight claim I can establish rests : • ".East India House, January 3, 1850. Sir,—With reference to the letters you addressed to th# Court`of Directors of the East India Company, under date the 10th November, 27th December, and Ist instant, on the declining state of the deep sea fisheries, the discontinuance of welled smacks hereto fore in use in ced-fishing, and the defects in the fish ing department, suggesting improvements in the berthing of . the fishing-smacks off Billingsgate market, whilst unloading, and praying relief, I am directed to inform you that the East India Company have no concern with the cod-fishery or with Bil lingsgate-market, and that the Court of Directors de cline to grant to you any further pecuniary assist ance.—l am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, "JAMES C. MELVILL. " Mr. H. Dempster." Having received the above poser, it caused me to set my wits to work. The Hon. East India Com pany being constantly in my mind was the mainstay I would have to trust to in the event of being taken aback. I wrote as follows : " TO THE HONOURABLE THE DIRECTORS OF THE HON. EAST INDIA COMPANY. " Jan. 7, 1850. " Gentlemen,—Respectfally acknowledging the re ceipt of your letter, dated the 3d instant, in answer to my communications on the subject of the declining state of the deep sea fisheries, fishing smacks and Thllingsgate•market, &c., together with the decision the Hon. Court of Directors had come to, declininv to render me any further pecuniary assistance, I humbly trust to be excused for giving further trouble on the same subject. I entirely concur with your Hon. Board, that as a body the improvements neces sary to be made on the cod-fisheries of Great Britain is not at all a subject likely to be connected with the duties of your Court, nor did I, when forwarding my inf.rrnation, expect it was a subject likely to be re sponded to as one that commanded your attention. My chief views were, as it is a suhjedt of general public utility, and as your Hon. Board are, perhaps, equally (if not better) acquainted with the extent of my labours for many ;years back, whilst endeavour ing to promote, not only improvements in the fishery department, but general improvements in the art of nautical science, my present position and how circumstanced, &c. I hoped your Honourable Board might have sympathised a little farther with me, until I can get the proper parties fairly inter ested in the matter. It is possible your Honourable Court may be of opinion that I have no legal claim to solicit assistance from the Honourable East India Company to promote my objects in view, any more than I have a claim upon others, and that if the mem bers of every board who must necessarily reap ad vantages from my labours were to act as generously towards me as your Honourable Court (lid on a former occasion, that I might get on very well ; so I might, if other parties to whom I have applied had tendered to me a moiety of their patronage ; un luckily for me at the present time, however, such has not been the case. I have laboured hard, trying my skill at several quarters, but with the exception of receiving short evasive answers, not at all entering either into the merits or demerits of the question. I have received but little ; in fact, my attempts to get mozey for my labours have as yet been completely discomfited. When I call on parties to whom I have forwarded my information, as soon as my circumstances and the object of my visit is under stooJ, if I am not politely requested to retire, a broad enough hint is given that it is high time to go away. Unless the sinews of war are supplied no war can be carried on, any more than considerable im provements can be brought forward without the aid of capital. One way to prevent an invader from en tering a territory is by cutting off his means of transit and supplies if possible, thereby starving the aggressors into submission. Such are the tactics it would appear many would employ against me. My improvements are considered intrusive innovations; otherwise how is it, that although they have already been practically and satisfactorily shown upon a small scale to be improvements, still there is no one will adopt them upon a larger scale, so that they may be rendered of greater advantage to the public ? There are few persons seen inclined to offer me pecuniary assistance that I may go on progressing; there are none who have ever attempted to confute any of my arguments advanced as improvements, and perhaps that is the moat satisfactory part fur consolation. What are scientific societies constituted for when such practical instruments as my improved trawling apparatus, for instance, is allowed to re main both unconfuted and unadopted. One or the other courses should be attended to by men professors of practical science. The improved trawl is calculated to become of univer sal commercial value, and as such I have stated it to be. No man should be allowed to palm inventions upon the public unless they be correct in practice as welt as theory. The great bulk of the public may be considered as unreflecting. There are many who give themselves little concern about anything be yond their own individual interests. The following will show that latterly I have experienced a pretty severe proof of the fact. " June the 16th, 1849, I arrived in London; was well clothed, and had a few pounds in my pocket. With it, and some pecuniary- resources I received in a friendly manner from your Hon. Board and a number of other gentlemen privately, I speculated with lite rary productions. I thought that with written argu ments the discriminating public would reward me for the considerable sacrifices made, and much exertions employed to promote works of public interest. The result of my literary speculations up to this date has been to extract all my funds, gear worn out, and my property all gone. " Instead of acting upon the more common method of publishing my literary productions on sale, I forwarded them to parties, trusting of course that their merits would have been appreciated, and I would have been rewarded accordingly when calling for an opinion, &c. That experiment, however, has been en tirely discouraged. It might do well enough for men of means to present their information and ideas in such a form, but not for such as expect remuneration for their literary efforts. There is scarcely one out of every fifty called upon who will respond with what may be termed a patriotic spirit. Natural prejudices are against innovations. Many men have got plans and hobbies of their own, from which they are de• sirous to obtain a name. Being disappointed on calling, it sometimes occurs to ask fur the property sent to be returned—that also is of no use. It cannot ha found ; it was not ordered ; why was it sent ? and who cares about it ? are the answers to be ex pected if it be asked for. "With respect to any claim I may have upon the lion East India Company more than others in the * Put in commission last night. Captain T. M. C. Symondv, 1841, 3 THE AID AND PROTECTION TO BE INSURED TO THE EMIGRANTS ON LANDING. The anxiety of the sub-committee on this point has been greatly relieved by the communications which they have had with the Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners, who have most readily placed at the disposal of the committee the macinery already established in our colonies for securing to the new comers the same protection, aid, and guidance which they are in the habit of affording to parties who emigrate under their own direction. On reaching the colonies, the emigrants will be received by Government officers, who will be in structed to give them all the assistance and advice they may require, as to the rate of wages, the places where employment may be most readily obtained, and other similar points. They will also be received in barracks and rationed fur a limited period, should any delay inevitably occur in securing employment for them. Committees of ladies already exist in Sydney and Melbourne for the purpose of addressing female im migrants to suitable situations; and it may reasonably be expected that the interests of the communities of which they become members will induce the colonial Legislatures to co-operate actively with the com mittee in providing promptly and carefully for the emigrants consigned to them. THE COST OF THEIR OUTFIT AND PASSAGE. Assuming that the sojourn of each emigrant in the probationary-house may average a fortnight, the sub committee conceives, from examination, of the ac counts of similar establishments, that the total outlay thereby incurred will not exceed Bs. per week per head. The cost of passage may be estimated at from 121. to 141. per head, and the sum of money to be given to each emigrant on landing by the emigration agent in the colony should not exceed 105. The sub-committee would further suggest, in order to diminish the expenses and extend the operations of the committee— _ _ _ ..... 1. That the district committees should ascertain whether applicants for emigration, or their friends, have any means of contributing a portion of their passage-money ; and that in every case in which such means are found to exist assisted passages only should be granted. • 2. That in every case the emigrant should be re quired to furnish her own outfit, as specified by the committee. In cases where the emigrants have ac tually no means of procuring such outfit, the parishes cn which they have a claim for support may reason ably be expected to provide it. It might be also advisable that the committee should consider whether, at some future period, it would not be well to make known throughout the colonies that assisted passages would be granted by them to females whose friends, having already emi grated, are desirous of sending home for them, but do not possess the means of defraying the cost un aided. Were the committee to defray one-half of the ex pense of their passage, the other half being previously lodged in the h ands _of the Government agent by their friends in the colony, all anxiety i as•to their future fate would be dispelled, whilst the aid and protection thus affarded to women desirous of joining their friends abroad would prove an incalculable 'eenefit to them and to the communities which ti,fy join. This report having been considered, it was prc po;ed and carried,—" That the same be received and adopted." -- - ) . 4 '" - - 2-" • 4 gi b -V • kit.; , Z.--C- / -1" ,-..- --A_e.--7 , -- ~ --7 - r --;--1-1, ."----- i - ,- - -- „ ...r. z sy , , _ , 4 , ../ „ 4. , I& _ , re,..- - f ,„ . _ 1 i• if (5 ~ I .; . ,- , • / . &-L, ‘ ....,,,, ,, -4 '''' -----,---- -1 -i• t 1 i ' Z ~,,,, <,,0:4,1•.:1,;,-.i5,,,,,,,..4,-,,-,,,., , 3, . . ----. 5 41 E , , f t ', ..., i,.. , 1 7 , - ;,, -,, .r - s-,-t.", ..._, 7 , - :.“,. . , 7.... /1.401' . • , : , 4 11, , a 4f.,*(41 ! 4,, , t ~ , , . . _ ~. ~,,,, ( 4C., Nr Vi, .4-,,,i,,, _,„...„:- _____,Ls,,, ';v ---;,-.-_, ~.____ ~ x v.' „ -,e2 - -...:_. 4 4.1 `,. • 18,50 [PRICE 6D. I time of adversity, unless the statement that follows I entitle me to establish a cleim, I have no other to offer. Just now I have no papers to guide me as to dates ; I will endeavour, however, from recol lection, to state as correctly as possible. About twenty-four years ago my relations obtained for me a free mariner's indenture for your Hon. Company's territory. After having expended a considerable sum (1 money for the fees of indenture, outfit, passage money, and other preliminaries, I arrived at Calcutta. On my arrival there I found the indenture in my possession was not to me worth the value of the paper it was written upon. It was no recommendation to a situation, and as there were a number of officers lying on their ears at Calcutta, waiting for berths that had been promised them, although they were not inden • tured men, plainly showine: to me the utter futility of the indenture at all. Since the opening of free trade, of course it hes become altogether useless. It was some time afterwards I entered the Hon. East India Company's marine service, with a view of get ting on to be a pilot of Bombay Harbour. I ulti mately did so. During the year 1834, whilst a pilot of Bombay Harbour, the idea to.build and rig sailing vessels upon an entirely novel principle originated with me. All the money I had made in India was spent there, practically showing the merits of that novel invention in the first place. The idea having been considered better adapted fur yachts than any other class of vessels, and there being but few yachters at Bombay then, it was considered that England was a better field for bringing my inventions forward. I ultimately gave up my situation at Bombay, with the express object that I might be enabled to make the inhabitants of Britain's Isle acquainted with my new nautical improvements. Since coming home, which is now about eleven years ago, my mind, my time, and a property left me by my father, at Kinghorn, have all been expended endeavouring to promote the object I had in view when I left my place at Bombay. Since coming home I have always made it my duty to send copies of my correspondence to the public on the subject to the address of your Honourable Board. " Gentlemen, the foregoing statement being all that I can offer as a claim, together with the efforts I have made in Scotland and England to promote improve ments in the fishery department, I hope they may be considered sufficient to enable your Honourable Board to reconsider your last decision, I at present being much in need of pecuniary aid. Gentlemen, I have the honour to be Nour most obedient and humble servant, e•ees " H. DEMPSTER. " 14, Cannon-row, Westminster." • To the above letter I am told no answer can be given, I must try some other channel to bring for ward my inventions. With my improved model yacht now lying at Shields I can make her perform twelve manoeuvres more than any other built or rigged sailing-vessel afloat; one of them being that she will go over a rock whilst sailing at the rate of seven knots, where there is one and a half feet less water than her draught in centre, without sustaining damage—something like a horse going over a five barred gate. But the rock that stands in the channel of prejudice is not so easily to be got over. On one occasion, during a very heavy gale of wind, the model yacht was driven over rocks off North Berwick, where there was three feet less water than she drew in centre, and sustained little or no damage. Let then the press get up a gale in favour of making the experiment at London, as it was made at Bombay, Canton, Leith, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Newcastle, and Shields, and I'll be bound (if all goes well) the little vessel alluded to (which is twenty feet in length and sii fer-t beam) will be seen floating and manceuvring about on the Serpentine River, Hyde park, in the year 1851.—1 am, Sir, &c., 11. DEMPSTER. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, JAN. 12.—The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ripon, with the Indian mail, due to-day, has not made her appearance. The French steamer from the Levant has arrived, and will proceed to Marseilles this afternoon. Yesterday her Majesty's brig Racer, from Athens, Suds, and Syracuse, came in. Except the receiving ship, she is the only vessel of war in port. The Spitfire steamer, with the crew of the Oberon, has left this place for Leghorn, to relieve the Porcu pine, which vessel is hourly expected, and will be dis patched to the eastward to Sir W. Parker's squadron. A melancholy accident has happened to an officer in the Odin steam-frigate, Lieutenant H. W. Dawson, late of the Thetis. It would seem that he had been out shooting, and, on returning, had incautiously placed a loaded gun between his legs, when, accident ally touching the trigger, the gun was discharged and the contents were lodged in the heart of the un fortunate young man, who almost immediately ex pired. The accident has thrown a deep gloom over the ship, for be was a general favourite. Mr. Winstanley, of the Medina, has been invalided to England for change of air. He has been tempo rarily relieved in his duties by Mr. Sainthill, a clerk of the Volage, surveying ship, until a successor to the Medina shall be appointed. Lieutenant-Colonel Ward has arrived in Malta, to relieve Colonel Whitty, in command of the Artillery. He will assume command on the 20th. The corps was yesterday reviewed by General Ellice, who ex pressed his extreme satisfaction at the state of effici ency in which he found them. The General in the evening gave a magnificent ball. The members of the new Council of Government were sworn in on Tuesday last, at the palace. The Council was afterwards prorogued till the 15th inst. The arrival of the Locust steamer from Naples, on the 9th instant, brought the agreeable information that the quarantine imposed on arrivals from Malta had been taken taken oft _ P. P.S. r.m.—The India mail is tele grated. Tne Medina will leave this evening at eight, P.M. News has been to-day received from Constantinople of the death of Mr. Rizo, Greek Minister at the Porte. The fleet is about to leave Macronissi for Malta. This may be considered positive, on the strength of letters to-day received. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The following ships are reported as ordered fur commission : The Trafalgar, 120 guns, to be commissioned at Sheerness. .A.mphion, 30 guns, 300-horse power, Sheerness. Albion, 92 guns, Devonport. Arethusa*, 50 guns, Devonport. Vulture, first class steam-frigate, 470-horse power, Devonport. Ajax, screw, 60 guns, 450-horse power, Portsmouth. Fox, under repair, 42 guns, Portsmouth. The Terrible steam-frigate, 21, Captain Hope, C.B , left Spithead this afternoon for Devonport, whence, after being paid wages there, she will start, in com pany with the Indefatigable, 50, Captain Smart, for Lisbon, to try the experiment of steamer v. sailer; the farmer not to use her coals if she has fair wind, and always to keep a forward course. Captain W. F. Austen (1846), nephew of Rear- Admiral C. J. Austen, appointed Commander-in- Chief of the India and China station, is reported to be the Flag• Captain to that officer; Lieutenant G. T. M. Purvis (1841) to be Flag-Lieutenant; and Mr. Price, at present in the Hastings, in China, late secretary to Sir Francis Collier, will be continued as secretary. The Phaeton, 50, Captain G. Elliot, when ready fur sea, is ordered to Devonport, to receive advance for her crew. The Madeira packet Eclipse passed this port for London last night, and sent in passengers by a pilot boat, who landed at the Quebec Hotel. Her dates were the 2d inst. The only news of consequence is the re-imposition of the odious quarantine for five days, which was operating most prejudicially to the interests of Madeira. TIM SQUADRON OF EXERCISE IN THE TAGUS. —The Hogue, 56, Captain Macdougal ; the Leander, 50, Captain Dacres; the Arrogant, 46, Captain Fitzroy; the Thetis, 40, Captain Codring ton ; the Encounter, 14, Captain Gordon ; the Con flict, 8, Commander Drake ; and the Scourge steam sloop, 6, Commander Lord Frederick H. Kerr, were off Lisbon on the 19th instant, sii%Titing. the arrival of the Commodore (Captain Martin, of the Prince Regent, 92), to proceed on another. pgenal trial of had recently sailing and steaming.

'When the squadron is a ugmenttd (as it is reported it will speedily be) by the new trigates Indefatigable, Phaeton, and Arethusa, all 50's, and the Terrible steam-ship, the squadron will be one of the most powerful and efficient ever at sea, and will doubtless develop some val ua bl e d ata for ship-building, both sailing and steam. The Phaeton is by White, of Cowes ; the Indefatigable by Edye, of Devonport dock-yard ; the Arrogant by Fincham, of Portsmouth-yard ; the Arethusa by Captain Sir William Symonds ; the Leander, by Blake ; the Thetis, by the Scholars of the ex• School of Naval G~ ~~~L ~~ Architecture; the Terrible, by Lang, of Woolwich yard ; the Encounter, by Fincham ; and the Conflict by the Navy-office designers. Such competition ,cerfiiot fail of proving of benefit to the country and -the naval service. It is possible that the Nankin, 50, by Mr. La ng , J un ., b u ildi ng a t W oo l w i c h , an d t h e Ajax, GO, fitting at Portsmouth, may be got ready to join the above squadron, and try their merits with the rest. A NEW DESCRIPTION Or STEAM-VESSEL.--FOT some days past great excitement has prevailed at Marseilles by the arrival in that port of au entirely new description of steamer, and which, if successful, will cause a complete revolution in the present plans of building steam- vessels. The vessel is named the Port de Marseilles, and was built by a M. Lieutieur. It has not the sligtest appearance of masts or funnel ; in fact, there is nothing to show whether she be pro pelled by wind, or steam, or oar. She glides through the water as if propelled by some invisible agency. The propelling power is by a sitrpe lever of sufficient power.—La Marine. The French Admiralty have issued an order to the eff.ct that the officers End seamen of the French navy, as well as the employes connected with the c i v il de partment of the navy, are not to wear thes e 6' orna oioustaee n h c e o arid r imperi a l..

Marryat, as a writer of narratives t f naval aiventure. is, we underbtand, about to *pi ear, in the person of a naval officer of high rank, well known as having command( d at the blockade of A!esandria in 1840. This dis- tinguished officer intends, it is ►a'd, to embody in a s, r;e► of naval storied the tenths cf his career of active service in various parts of the world. his first literary enterprise is announced under the title of " The Putrek" and its appearance will no doubt be hailed with welena L e by the reading public in general, as well as by the author's professional brethren. COUhTRY QUARTERS, A NoyEL, By THE COUATESS OF 131.EssiNGTON.—" This novel it one of the liveliest and most natural of all Lady Blessington's productions. There is a rapid, quick, light, and easy style; a e dom of narrative, a niceness t f obssrvation, and a mi nuteness e f description, with an agree a bl e sa ti re , w hi ch please as, while they excite our admiration. It is a quiet narrative, flowing principally through ball-rooms, drawing-roams, mess-rooms, and the other resorts of the gay and fashionable world. Numbers of gentle freely officers, with numerous light-laughing maidens, and staid demure young damsel?, enter and play th, it parts in this simple lifelike drama, which is full of natural scenes, painted in every detail from nature, and evincing that great power of observa tion for which Lady Blessington was eelebreted among writers of fiction."—Sunday Times. [ADVERTISEMENT.) THE ATEAPILATORT, OR LIQUID Hex DYE.—The only dye that really answers fur al colours, and does not require re-doing but as the hair grow?, as it never fades or acquires that unnatural red or purple tint common to all ether dyes. Ross and Sons can, with the greatest confidence, recommend the above dye as infallible; and ladies and gentlemen re quiring it are requested, if convenient, to have it done the first thee at their establishment, which will enable them to use it afterwards themselves without the chance of failure. They thick it necessary to add that, by at tending strictly to the instructions given with the dye, numerous patties have succeeded equally well without coming to them.—Address, Ross and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-strect, London. EXHUMATION OF HUMAN RRMAINS.—OH Wed nesday John Orwell, of Redcliff-street, railway labourer, while employed in digging out the ground for the new terminus of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, and at about a few yards from the Bath-road at Totterdown, at the depth a about a foot from the surface, discovered first a skull, and afterwards the rea cinder of the bones of a human body, and then of another beneath tl e first, He afterwards discovered, about a y and from the former, the bones of another body. The two first found appeared to be doubled up, and the c ther lying straight. He found no clothes or buttons, or anything but bones; one skeleton appeared to be full grown, the others not so; the bones were but very little broken. The earth in which they lay was dark, but about the bodies yellowish. He carried all the bones carefully to the other aide of the line, where they remain. The earth had not been sunk deeper in the place. About a month ago he found two skulls in the earth about six feet from the same spot. The skeleton of a horse lay close by. An inquest has been held by Mr. Grindon on these remains, and Orwell having given evidence to the above effect, the jury returned a verdict of "Found dead." The expla nation ef these seeming marvels may probably be found in the fact that a gallows formerly stood at this place, under which criminals after their execution were some times interred.—Bristol Mirror. ADVENTURES OF A 51.M0TE.--A short time since, a lady residing at East Ham called upon the Rev. W. Streatfich 4 , the vicar of that pariah, and in the course of conversation asked the Reverend Gentleman the amount of money collected at the church on the General Thanks. giving Day. The sum was mentioned, which the lady observed was rather less than she expected, as her hus band had put a 5/. note into the plate. Upon this the vicar remarked there must be some mistake, al no such thing had been returned in the collection, and he there upon communicated the circumstance to Mr. T. Mat thews, by whom the plate was carried round. Mr. Mattheae, a highly respectable farmer, had not seen anything of the kind, and waited upon the gentleman re ferred to us the donor, who explained that he had the note in his hand some little time previously to dropping it into the plate, and had rolled it up in a very small compass. It at once occurred to Mr. Matthews that the note might have fallen out of the plate, and, upon making iuquiry cf tho sexton where he was in the habit of throwing the dirt, the place was pointed out, and, after a minute starch by Mr. Matthews and the vicar, the missing note was found in the long grass of the churchyard. It had been almost destroyed by the wet, but sufficient was recovered (when pasted on a piece of paper) to satisfy , the bank authorities, who have since paid the amount. The affair has thus ended to the satisfaction of all parties.—Essex Standard. THE BIRMINGHAM MAGISTRATES.—BIRMINGHAM , SATURDAY.—The deputation appointed to wait upon Government with respect to the recent appointment of magistrates on the nomination cf Messrs. (3each__ and Thornton had an interview with Lord John Russell and Sir George Grey in Downing-street, one Friday last. The Premier and Home Secretary declined to interfere, and questioned the po wer of town councils to nominate b oroug h magi• . strita p. They referred the deputation to theL ,rd Chancel lor. After an interview of some length with the Noble Lord the deputation was induced to hope, if not believe, that the recent commission will be super seded. SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY, JAN. 20.—The Penin sular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Intim, Captain J. Soy, took her departure this morning, with the East India, Chi na , an d M ed i terranean mails, in charge of Lieutenant Tancock, R.N. She had about 120 passengers, and a large general cargo. The Ripon, with the heavy portion of the homeward East India mail, is txpected here on Thursday next. RUSSIAN ASSISTANCE IN SEARCHING FOR SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.—II having been suggested (by the late com mittee of Arctic officers) that a memorandum, stating what had been done, and what is now being done, to re lease Franklin, should •be translated into the Russian language, and plentifully circulated along the northern coats ,it ziineria and throughout his Imperial Majesty's American dominions, 200 or 300 copies printed, and at tached to each copy should be an order from the Russian Minister in London, enjoining all Russian subjects, in the Emperor's name, to carry out the objects therein niaded. His Excellency Baron Brunow, on Monday last, assured the British Government " that every step will be !aken to second the measures taken by the Admiralty for the discovery of the expedition under Sir John Frank ,lin."— United ervice ..Gazette PARLIAMENTARY BANQUET.—Lord Stanley has issued cards of invitation for a grand dinner on the 30th inst., at his mansion in St. James's-square, to an influen tial circle of his political friends in the House of Peers.
