Here the numerous skilful and in telligent ass'stantx attend to such orders with which they may be intrusted, and with an equal amount of respect and civility to all, however small the purchase may be—indeed an inspection of the beautiful fabrics exhibited in these Wareroame, is courted by the above Iqrrn, without necessarily expecting the purchase of any ardel , , with regard to whi7.ll the public have long since ascertained, that to be really cheap, it should be really good.

'the original moderate price of these Garments is retained, viz., ONE and TWO GUINEAS, aotwith standing all the recent improvements, snaking them not only the most gentlemanly, but also the most durable and inexpensive articles of dress extant.

PARENTS. and GUARDIANS are respectfully invited to Inspect the cost of the several garments here submitted, and con. sidered necessary for the Universities, Public and Private Schools, &e. In this branch clever and efficient persons a-e employed by Messrs. NICOLL, as in all other departments, the result being the production of a more graceful and elegant appearance in Youths' Clothing than has hitherto been approached ; while, at the same time, their durability and general excellence will be as strongly cluracterised as in NICOLL'S I'ALETOT. CAUTION.—Many hare of late used the word " Paletot," but 11. J. and D. NICOLL are the sole Proprietors of both design and material. TIJE CITY.-22, CORNHILL, (opposite the Royal Exchange,) is the addreTs of Messrs. NICOLL'S CITY ESTABLISHMENT, where the PAL ETOT with materials and skill •as in Regent-street are suhmitted for inspection and use, and at the REAL in CHANGE-ALLEY is the SHIPPING BRANCH.

Warwick-street is immediately at the rear of tne Paletot Ware rooms, 114, 116, 118, and 120, Regent-street, London. THE RACES.—KHOREE is a NEW IMPOR TATION by the Messrs. NICOLL, through their Agent In INDIA. It is a Cloth exceedingly well adapted, whenlormed into a PALETOT, for the races, the sea-side, or any place of public amusement during the approaching warm weather. It has the pecu liarity of resisting,"or counteracting, in a most remarkable manner, the intense heat of the con's rays, and is so light (weighing but six ounces) that it can be conveniently WORN OVER ANOTHER COAT, which it thus effectually preserves from dust; and as it oc cupies, when folded, no more space than a pocket-handerchief, it may be concealed in the same manner when not wanted. It, more over, conveys a most gentlemanly appearance, is very durable, and when soiled, becomes new again by the simple process of washing. The price is but ONE GUINEA AND A HALF. The adavatien of this article to the manufacture of .Paletots or Overcoats is PA TENTED by 11. d. and D. NICOLL, 111, 116, 116, 120, REGENT STREET, and 22, CORNHILL, LONDON.

Although this advanced its charatter, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, F.sq., to hr.

This immobi lity and unchangeableness—this stand-still and stag nant system—is one of the greatest 'vices of ecclesias ticaloAm e s their eo e t i p n r e e e d e e t o e s b s o e r . s h rl a h v e e t r b a e d e i i egopvoeprensmeonftß. s o t the tions of the past are for the Popes and Cardinals, and for the ropes and Cardinals only, the law of the future. Open Muratori and Giannoni at any page—read of the proceedings of Pope or Conclave where you will, and the history is not very different from that which is occurring under our own eyes now-a-days. The Pio None of 1850 seeks to aggran dise and monopolise power—seeks to be an abaolute Sovereign, bound by no laws—seeks as much to go vern according to his own will and pleasure as the Most despotical and domineering of his predecessors. Pius IX. ie before all and above all a Roman Church man, and whenever the privileges of his order or his religion are concerned be will be as much of an In quisitor as Torquemada himself. Though the ordi nary judjees of the Pontiff may occasionally pay in common, civil, or criminal cases, some slight deference to Justinian or the Pandects, yet in anything con cerning the Papal prerogative or Government the Pontiff's will is the supreme law. His decrees are alone conclusive. He may alter or annul whatever he pleases. He is bound to the observance of no written laws, and he may supersede written laws by his own supreme and absolute authority. His decrees are absolute in the form of rescripts, which conclude with a general supersessory clause, contrariis quibus cunque non obstantibus. No tribunal in Rome can ex amine or take cognisance of a matter which has been the subject of a Papal rescript. In criminal cases, the Pope can alter the punishment or pardon the delinquent; and so absolute is the power of his Holiness, that by a private billet to the Governor of Rome, he may order an individual to be arrested and sent to the gallies without mentioning the crime, only saying in general terms, "causis nobis nous." A sacerdotal Sovereign enjoying such an unlimited, such a terrible power as this, is not very likely to show any reverence for the customary law and comity of nations, or to understand those diplomatic usages which are practised by other states; it was, therefore, without surprise that we learned of a flagrant viola tion of the respect which is due to the British flag and arms in the Pontifical States. Within the last twelve or fourteen days, the domicile of Signor Ercole, the Secretary to the British Consulate at Rome, - was invaded and forcibly entered by sbirri, in spite of the most energetic remostrances of his wife and family. The British Consul at Rome, as our readers are aware, is Mr. John Freeborn, formerly, and we believe at present, carrying on the business of a banker at Rome, and who to our own knowledge has for more than twenty years been domiciled in the • States of the Church. Mr. Freeborn, during the last two years or more has been placed in circumstances of very great difficulty and responsibility, and we believe all are agreed that in a trying time, and under very peculiar circumstances, he exercised his unpaid jurisdiction with very great humanity, at the risk of his personal ease and comfort. Of Mr. Free born, in his official capacity, Signor Ercole was the cancelliere, or first clerk. As such, on several oc casions during the absence of the Consul, he has acted as pro-consul, and has been acknowledged by the authorities. On one particular occasion he was re ceived by the Pontiff himself, so that it is the idlest of all idle things to suppose that his character and functions were not known. Indeed, during the late disturbances, Signor Ercole caused the British arms to be placed over his residence, and his diploma as cancelliere to be hung up in his hall. On the 17th of this month, however, notwithstanding these facts —when Signor Ercole was absent from home—a police agene, with four carabiniers, knocked at the door, and, notwithstanding the protestation of the wife and daughter, that the domicile violated was that of the cancelliere of the British consulate, forcibly en tered, stating that they did so by order of the Papal Government. The Capo sbirro and his officers re mained in the house all night, and at five in the morn ing the Judge Mariani, one of the Cardinal Vicar's lieutenants, made his appearance with ten sbirri, armed with bludgeons and pistols, and proceeded to examine the premises. The drawers, presses, and cupboards were all searched, but the myrmidons of his Holiness not finding any Bibles manifested great disap pointment. Summoned to appear before the Cardinal Vicar on the 18th, Signor Ercole declined to do so, as he conceived this would be an acknowledgment of the Vicar's jurisdiction. Oa the 19th Mr. Freeborn, who had drawn up a statement of the facts, dispatched a note to the Cardinal Secretary, requiring an expla nation, and inquiring whetber the conduct o police was approved by the Papal Government 9 • To this letter, however, no answer had been returned on the 20th, the day of the latest letters from with the Rome. Papal perquisitions did not, it appears , end with British consulate. The premises of the En g lish Chapel Committee at Rome, as well as the house of Signor Sartori, castode of he chapel and 'keeper of pew-rents, were also searched, and some of his books and papers confiscated. It appears that Mr. Petre, the English Roman Catholic unauthorised diplomatic agent at Rome, when applied to to interfere, declined on the ground that Signor Sartori was a Roman subject, though it is well known that he was residing, and that the perquisitions were actually made, in the house of Mr. flay, late Secretary fo r th e Colonial Department, some of whose books were confiscated. This is one of the inconveniences of having R om an Catholic em ployes in states in which the religion is Roman Ca tholic. We have lately seen the conduct of Mr. More °Terrell at Malta, and the conduct of Me. Pare at Rome forms a worthy pendant to it. The reaJer will have collected from our statement that the objet; of these Papal perquisitions was merely to obtain Pro testant Bibles. With the free circulation of the Bible the Papacy is an impossibility, and therefore the Pope, his cardinals, and his sbirri are determined to make the book a sealed book as long as they can. But, notwithstanding all their efforts, truth is pene trating, and the day of darkness drawing to a close. We do not deny the right of the Papal Govern ment or police to enter a consulate to obtain proofs of a conspiracy, or to apprehend conspirators. But it is new to us that Papal sbirri have the right of violating a British functionary's domicile to seize the book containing the Word of God. It may be conceded that the Pontifical dogana has the right to seize or to refuse entry to Protestant Bibles into Rome as an article of commerce or of sale. But widely different from this right is the violating domi cile to seize a book which every Englishman consi ders a part of himself and of his household. We shall be curious to see the manner in which Viscount Palmerston will take up this question. We know from St. Real how Louis XIV. avenged the indig nity offered to his Crown and nation by.lnnocent IX. sending sbirri into the Palazzo Farnese, the residence of the Duke d'Estrees, ambassador of France. Whe ther the author of the "New Whig Guide" will in dignantly send such an armed cortege to the Vatican as was sent by the order of the Grand M onarque , headed by Beaumanoir, Marquis de Lavardin, re mains to be proved. Beaumanoir was accompanied by 400 gardes de la marine, all armed to the teeth. But, though we may send no marines, we trust a sharp missive may wend its way to Rome, anything that the statutes of Prcemunire may say to the con trary. We can directly Communicate with Mr. Petre and the Embassy at Florence, if we cannot communicate directly, by law, with the Pope or his Government. CHRONICLE.—Lord Ashley has given notice that he will this evening bring before the House of Commons " the question of the total cessation of Sun day Labour in the Post-offices of the United King dom." We hope that he has well thought out this somewhat difficult subject, both in its principles and in its practical details, and that he is thoroughly pre pared to do justice to his own views respecting it. For, although we suspect that the agitation which has lately been going on with reference to this mat ter is to some extent factitious and " got up," there can be no doubt that it is also, to a considerable de gree, the genuine expression of feelings that are en titled to sincere respect; and it is consequently very desirable that it should find a judicious and effi cient Parliamentary, exponent—that it should lose nothing for want of advocacy—and that it should be met and defeated exclusively on its real merits. We are the more solicitous on this point because the object of Lerd Ashley's motion is other wise in extreme danger of being fatally damaged by considerations altogether extrinsic to its actual purport. The present movement for applying the ultra-Sabbatarian principle to the organization of our Post-office system had, it must be owned, a somewhat 1 nestionable commencement. There is no denying lat it originated in a blunder, and that it has to a large extent been sustained and fostered by misrepresenta tions, of which charity compels us to hope that they were not wilful. It dtttes from the onowicement o: those new Post-office regulations of last autumn which were so erroneously and perversely described as an attempt on the part of the Government to "in troduce" Sunday labour into that department of the public service ; the fact being, in' the first place, that it had been "introduces" long before, and in the next, that both the intent and the result of the changes recently made have been to effect a great and permanent diminution in the official work performed on the Sunday, at the expense of an inconsiderable and temporary increase in . the number of functionaries employed on that day in St. Martin's-le-Grand. Confessedly, the regulations in question hive worked most satisfae • torily—completely negativing the apprehensions of those who so hotly opposed them ; and it is but fair to presume that, as the present agitation is, in point of fact the offspring of a false alarm, we should never have heard of it if its promoters were as clear-headed as they doubtless are sincere. Still, we would not lay undue stress on this circumstance, which is, after all, foreign to the merits of the question. The pro posal of a " total cessation of Sunday labour in the Post-offices of the United Kingdom," , is logically, though not historically, entirely distinct from the agitation against the recent arrangements for dimi nishing that description of labour; and we much prefer discussing the principle of this motion to criticising the mistakes of its advocates. The most obvious objection that presents itself to this project is, that without some ex!ensive change in our Post-office arrangements, it will involve, practically speaking, not one " blank" day 'in every week, but two—an extremely awk ward consequence which seems to have hitherto attracted very little attention. As the existing re gulations respecting the observance of the Sunday in the metropolitan Post-office deprive every country town of a Saturday evening's dispatch and a Mon day'e morning delivery of London letters, the effect of enforcing similar regulations on provincial offices would, of course, be to deprive the Londoner of his Saturday evening's dispatch and his Monday morn ing's delivery of country letters. There would thus be two consecutive days in each week—or 104 days out of the 365—during which the postal communica tions of every town would be completely stopped up. As an example of the working of such a system—a letter for London, posted in Manchester, Bristol, or Hull, on the Friday afternoon, could not bring an answer until the Monday evening following. Or, in the case of towns having only one London mail in the twenty-four hours, a Londoner, having urgent occasion after post time on Friday to communicate with a country correspondent, would not be able to get his letter off before the evening of the ensuing Monday. To propose this would simply be to pro pose that the whole business of the United Kingdom shall be thrown into confusion ; and though we have heard a good deal said in this controversy about some "principle" which is to supersede all regard for what is contemptuously called "expediency," we will ven ture to say that nine-tenths of the signers of Sabba tarian petitions really mean nothing of the sort, and would stand aghast at such an application of their doctrine. Either they have never seriously consi dered the obvious consequences of their own proposal, or they contemplate some ingenious re-arrangement of the mails by which this intolerable inconvenience would be obviated. Such a scheme has, in fact, been hinted at in various quarters, and perhaps we shall this evening hear it fortnally, explained and advocated by Lord Ashley. It is a favourite notion with some, that the duty of abstaining from all secular pursuits on the Sunday ought to be construed with that rigid and narrow literality with which ordinary minds love to interpret obligations which they feel to be disagree able.' Accordingly they would have the suspension of Post-office labour to take effect for the precise twenty-four hours intervening between midnight and midnight—no more and no less. Mails are to be made up (if we understand the plan rightly) the very last thing on Saturday, and to be dispatched the very first thing on Monday. In other words, Post office clerks, sorters, and other functionaries are to work up to twelve o'clock on Saturday night, and to be ready to begin again the moment the clock strikes twelve on Sunday night. In this way, it is imagined, all very serious mischief may be pre vented—as letters posted in London before midnight on Saturday would reach their destination (say) in Liverpool before the commencement of business hours on Monday, and vice versa ; and thus the Sunday might be made an absolute dies non throughout the Post-offices of the United Kingdom, without any further inconvenience than that loss of one day per week to which habit has long since familiarized Lon doners. It strikes us, however, that this device is more ingenious than satisfactory, even in a mere theo logical point of view. Passing over the practical objections to such an arrangement which will at once occur to practical men, on the grounds of increased cost and compleiity, we content ourselves with re reality to the very form, Saturdayo yrm r a ournulins h hi shortening c rcut a tl etheuenrel night, ngsagsh n t at appearance htnad e,ne dwl Sacred sorters cb r l re marking that we should still be as far as ever from anything like a genuine and earnest observance of the Sunday. • A more complete sacrifice of the spirit to the letter, and of the o l or t e eeenordbsft be Do a u Mondaypi very ymae make baennygi eg o drgg ' l m, s c oni .s i hno l oc o gadhr c ashnTe k w ngtima,hanv o s pieogeernnkr duties.anmen dtowardswe g bemtwtsf howuo i uaroe n tnennrhm e nitnd d tvhi ae . n would late —and eveninggt a, o n td t o i therapegsduca thit again they t b ehe e me d i yni on nw n tor t ui the ques tion would be merely a device for taking two nights out of the one period of twenty-four hours—a mode of honouring the Day of Rest which savours much more of pious fraud than of a rational Christian piety. The truth is, as we have had occasion to re mark more than once already in this controversy, the whole question of suspending the machinery of civil and secular life on the Sunday is, and must be, one not of dogma and abstract principle, but of degree, circumstance, and compromise. It is treated as such, practically and theoretically, by the ultra Sabbatarians themselves. Even they draw the line at " necessity" and " mercy"—words which every man must interpret for himself according to the best of his own judgment and conscience, and which no two men will at all times construe exactly " Principle" there neither is nor can be in such a matter, if by " principle" you mean a rigid, unbending rule. The only principle really appli cablese is a sincere and habitual desire religious, social, and moral bene fitotsroeafltiostehtehaell cu the weekly Christian festival by a judi cious and discriminating retrenchment of all labour that can be dispensed with. This is the principle on which society is, in this country, more and more dis posed to act ; and we earnestly trust that the whole some reform which is taking place in this respect among all classes will not he checked by the reaction which, as all experience shows, ensues on exagge rated and fantastic attempts to overstrain the lines of religious and moral obligation. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. - - --- MALTA, MAY 22.—The last week has been singu larly barren of intelligence. On Saturday last her Majesty's ships Vengeance and Howe were towed out of harbour by the Terrible steam-frigate and sailed on their route for England, the crews of the ships in port cheering them as they left, and bidding them a hearty " God speed," which was cordially responded to by their homeward-bound friends. The men of the 44th and 69th Regiments, who availed themselves of the amalgamation of the reserve with the Ist bat talion, or were dismissed the service, went home in the ships of the line. The Terrible afterwards returned to port, and towed into an offing the Tunisian brig-of-war Naser, which arrived on the 12th instant with the unfortu nate Hungarian and Polish refugees, who were wrecked off the Galabia bank on their passage to Belgium. Her Majesty's ship Superb, Captain Purcell, reached port in safety on the 12th instant. The Antelope steamer arrived on the 17th instant from Palermo and Leghorn. The Bosphorus screw-steamer left port on Mon day for London. She had on board Major Sir E. Thomas, 69th, who has lately sent in his papers to sell out. The homeward India mail is expected to-morrow. A few days ago, whilst carousing on shore, Wil liam Knight, a marine, belonging to her Majesty's ship Powerful, was arrested on a charge of having deserted seven years ago from the 44th Regiment. Yesterday he was brought to a court-martial, Lieu tenant. Colonel Paxton, 69th, president, and found guilty on most conclusive evidence. The sentence has not been promulgated up to this moment, post hour. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY. The Odin steam frigate, 12, Captain the Hon. F. T. Pelham, arrived at Spithead this morning from the Mediterranean, and saluted the Commander-in-Chief, She sailed from Athens May 1 ; Malta, Bth ; Algiers, 12th ; Gibraltar, 17th; Tangiers, 17th r.m. ; and Lisbon, 25th. Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker's squadron arrived at Malta on the 11th instant. The Dragon steam-frigate, Captain Hall, arrived at Lisbon at the same time as the Odin, bound also for England ; but Commodore Martin detained her, to return to Gib raltar for provisions for his squadron of evolution. The Odin brought 123 invalids and supernumeraries from both squadrons, Lieutenant St. Jan, of the [PRIOR SD. 0 60th Rifles, invalided from India, and Lieutenant Tyler, of the Scourge, passengers. She was inspected this afternoon by the Commander-in-Chief, and will come into harbour to-morrow to be paid off, all standing, to join the steam reserve at this port. An Admiralty order has arrived at Portsmouth to have a butt constructed of old boiler-plates, of the thickness and strength of the Simoom's side, on pur pose for the Excellent, gunnery-ship, to practice at, to test the effect of shot end shell on the iron plates and rivets. We, however, incline to think there will be but little good or information derived from this practice. A real vessel would be the. proper test ; for we imagine that the opposite side of the ship from 'that fired at would be the worst injured. A half spent ball passing out would do a vast deal more in ' jury to the iron plates than the side on which the shot entered. Such a vessel as the iron brig Recruit, sold out of the service fur a mere song, would have been just the vessel to have experimented on. The Fire Queen, a useless vessel, might be put to that use; but her plates and sides are scarcely strong enough for the purpose. However, the present trial, as ordered, will be scarcely any test as to the effect of shot on steam-vessels.—Herald. The Blonde, old 42, is ordered to be fitted as a re ceiving hulk, similar to the Topaze, in this harbour. The new steam-frigate Termagant, 24, bent sails yesterday, and hoisted the pendant this morning for her trial in the Channel. She will sail on Friday. APPETITE AND DIGESTION IMPROVED.

Yesterday, on the re-assembling of this Committee, Mr. Cardwell in the chair, Mr. Talbot, Q.C. in a speech of some hours' duration on b e half o f th e ex isting City gas companies, proceeded to animadvert on the vast amount of artificial excitement that had been occasioned in the City by what he designated as the elaborate and skilful agitation of a new and em pirical imposture, promoted in the name of economy, and under the disguise of a cry for cheap gas, while, in reality, the promoters proposed nothing more than what was now done by the established companies. Practically speaking, and on their own showing, the promoters of the measure had asserted their inde pendence of Parliament, and were, in reality, doing that which they asked Parliament to enable them to do. They had incorporated themselves by registra tion, had constructed their share list, and constructed their works, had purchased land, and got the consent of the Commissioners of Sewers to lay down their mains and pipes, and were nearly in a working con dition for the manufacture of gas, the supply of which might be said to be impending. All they wanted, and which alone an Act of Parliament could give them, was compulsory power over property and limited responsibility, though this latter had been provided for in the company's deed of settlement. 'What was the financial con dition of the proposed company ? The ac tual amount paid up out of the 150,0001., and half of which was called up, was only 34,0001. Out of the 8,900 shares, between 2,000 and 3,000 consisted of contractors' and contingent shares, and though the last call was due on the 28th instant, nothing had been said as to the net receipt that had accrued from it. He believed that the Bill was introduced with the view of making an union with the old City com panies. In the case of the City gas companies it was a striking fact that they had reduced their original charge of 15s. per 1,000 cubic feet, successively, to 7s , 65., 55., and now to 4s. They had never at tempted to raise it, and he was now instructed, on the part of the old companies, to proffer that the price should be reduced to 45., 3s. Gd., and 35., when their profits enabled them to pay a dividend of ten per cent. Besides this, there existed checks and securities for a continuance of their good behaviour. On the expiration of the contract for lighting the public lights it was in the power of the Commissioners of Sewers to lay down pipes, and let other companies in bor dering on the City. The existence, moreover, of the City of London Gaslight Company expired altogether in 1863, and as they would have to come to Parlia ment for a renewal of their powers, it was not likely they would forfeit their pledge. He concluded by calling on the Committee to negative the preamble of the Bill. The Committee then adjourned. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE AT MORECAMBE BAY. Several families resident in Manchester been thrown into great distress by the tidings of a most painful and fatal occurrence at Morecambe Bay. The whole of the details have not yet reached the relatives of the sufferers, but the following general particulars may be relied upon :—A large party of ladies and gentlemen had left Manchester to spend the Whitsun tide holidays at a watering place in the neighbourhood of Morecambe Bay; and on Friday morning a boat ing party was formed to cross the water from Silver dale to Grange, consisting of five gentlemen, fi ve ladies, and two men servants. The name of the ladies I have not ascertained ; but the gentlemen were Mr. John Morris, solicitor, Manchester; Mr. North, land and building agent, and Mr. North, jun., his son ; Mr. Alfred Coates (son of Mr. Coates, late cotton merchant, and now resident in Plymouth-grove), and Mr. Porter, also of Manchester. In the afternoon, Mr. Morris and Mr. North, sen., returned with the ladies to Sit= verdale, crossing the sands at low water in a car, but the gentlemen determined to wait till the tide served in the evening, and recross the bay in the boat. It would be high water at eleven o'clock, and it is sup posed that the gentlemen attempted to cross the water at that time. Their friends, however, at Silverdale remained in painful suspense till the following morn ing, without tidings of them, and at daylight intelli gence was brought them of the boat having been found capsized on the, sands, with the dead bodies of Mr. Coates, Mr. North, jun., and Mr. Porter lying near it. It is said there were also two other bodies found. , MILITAUY SAVINGS BANKS.—^ID total amount of the fund for Military Savings Beaks, up to 14th March, 1850, for cavif.ry, infantry, and crdnance corps, was 99,6664 The number of depoaiters,, on the 31g Alarch, 1849, yme 6,747.

The Tweed and Cormorant sailed from Rio on March 27, to cruise for slavers. The Spider sailed for the River Plate, with the mails, on March 23 ; and the Kestrel arrived thence on the 4th, and sailed on a cruise to keep her crew in health. Yellow fever is reported to have still raged vio lently at Rio ; it was computed that from the com mencement at least 12,000 persons had perished through its ravages. Several vessels lying there had lost two-thirds of their crews, and many their masters. The slave-trade appears to be on the in crease, the value of slaves having been greatly enhanced by the many deaths which had occurred. Traffic was generally suspended, and many of the stores were shut up and the merchants had left with their families for the mountains to avoid fever. Part of the French expedition to the River Plate arrived at Rio on their way thither on April 1. At Bahia the fever was much better, and the little that remained was chiefly among the shipping. Little business doing. At Pernambuco the fever had been raging vio lently—about 4,000 deaths, but was on the decrease. The Aden, Barker master, has arrived off here from Port Philip, and landed a mail. The Argentyn, Sanstrom, has arrived this morning, from Buenos Ayres, March 18. No political news. DEPARTURE OF THE STEAM-SHIP ATLANTIC FOR NEW YORK. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. -- The United States mail steam-ship Atlantic, under the command of Captain 'West, sailed for New York this forenoon. She takes out about 70 passengers, but the mail by her is light in the extreme. As it was the first return trip of this noble ship, and her presence in the Mersey had excited considerable interest, immense numbers flocked to all parts of the piers to witness her departure, as she steamed down the river. About half-past eleven her anchors wero weighed, steam applied to her engines, and off this splendid floating palace w en t . No sooner did she begin to move, than the British and North American Royal! Mail steam-ship Canada hoisted the stars and str i p es at her foremast h ead.

She was saluted in gallant style by the Canada, and an immense qua ntit y of p o wder was consumed, each steamer firing about t h irty rounds. The steam tender Satellite, belonging to the British and No r th fore, The American line of boats, steamed up the river and round the Atlantic, firing two salutes as she passed, which were returned by the Atlantic. The Atlantic by this time was opposite the Albert Docks, moving on at a moderate rate down the river, and when she arrived opposite Seacombe two salutes were fired from the shore. An immense concourse of people bad by this time crowded on the Prince's pier. . Having passed along the whole line of docks, the Atlantic then took the course of the Formby Chan nel, and in a short time was lost sight of, leaving all the spectators who viewed her departure to indulge in speculations as to the probable length of time she will take to make the voyage to New York. Bets have been made that she will land the mail 'and passen gers at New 'York by noon . on Monday, the 10th proximo. Time alone will tell, but it is expected that the Canada's news, which will leave this on Sa turday forenoon, will, by means of the telegraph from Halifax, be first published at New York. - - ---- [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Extraord inary Cure of Rheu matichas appointed his mar shallun- derstand Fever by Holloway's Pills in Van Diemen's Land. — Margaret M'Connigan, nineteen years of age, residing at New town, had been suffering from a violent rheumatic fever for vested in the senior judge upwards of two months, which hAwenaiLdi.Eesnctirießlycuderrpriedwheer of the use of her limbs.

TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUY. SlR,—The powerful aid of the Press has beeen al. ready invoked to aid the up se t o f a m o nop o ly which maintains the present price of beer, so affecting the interests of the labouring class, especially anchor smiths, coal porters, navvies, and labourers. Beer is as essential to the labouring man as bread ; it is not even a luxury to him, but, next to bread and meat, when he can get it, is his stable sustenance. The present price, combined with reduced wages, prevents him from procuring even that quantity which is essential to his support, while the incentive to adulteration h e ld ou t t o t h e pu b l i cans, by high prices, deteriorates the quality even "of that which he bath." Th e quest i on of the " ability of brewers and plant (which they resist) to contribute towards the relief of the poor," whether properly or im properly, contended for by Mr. Paine, as surveyor, matters little ; but, whether by design or accident, as this contest has been the means of bringing the subjcct about, I most unhesitatingly assert that "real ability to contribute" is best shown by the prices of malt being reduced from 87s. to .50s. per quarter. Some firms brew 115,000 quarters of malt in the year, while the best actual contribution to wards " the relief of the poor" would be to let the poor participate, by a correspondin g re d uct i on of that commodity, which is the prcduce of, and actual "sweat of their brow," and not, by the maintenance of present prices, virtually infringe on the old maxim, and to continue to " Rob the poor man of his beer." Present price is, I know, fortified by heavy mono poly; those who sustain it in the keep, say of 120 horses, must also find an item of profit of consider able amount, arising from the present price of corn and hay. The monopolists are, generally, both brewers, bankers, and Quakers, in short, Nark-lane and Lombard-street combined. Publicans, in conse quence of the accommodation system, are, in general, under their thumb, and dare not speak, and so la bour, as the slave of old, is held in bondage ; and, in the words of the immortal Cowper, their op pressors " Share in the plunder, so pity the man." Without your co-operation and support we feel, Sir, that our cause is in jeopardy ; therefore, in sup plication, we implore your all-controlling influence on our behalf, to maintain the relative proportion of prices among all other things, but especially for, Sir, your, at present oppressed, " SWEETWORT." 27th May, 1850.

Army and Navv Club, May 27, 1850. PROFESSOR FARADAY'S LEC TURES ON DOMESTIC CHEMISTRY. The subject of Professor Faraday's lecture at the Royal Institution, on Saturday, was the philosophy of a kettle. lle said, that having in the last lecture noticed the circulation of the air produced by the heat of a fire, it must be borne in mind that the same expansion by heat takes place in liquid bodies. To make this perceptible he heated a portion of liquid in a glass vessel, the lower part of the liquid being coloured to distinguish it, when the coloured fluid was seen to rise in a connecting tube. On applying the flame of a spirit lamp to the bottom of a glass vessel con taining water, minute bubbles were quickly seen to rise, which, after expanding for the height of an inch or two, contracted by means of the lower temperature of the upper stratum of water, and the bubble that rose to the top was scarcely perceptible. By the continued application of heat, however, the steam of which the lower bubbles are composed became less and less condensed, and when the temperature had been raised to the boiling point, the elastic vapour reached the top in a continued succession of large bubbles, producing the phenomenon of boiling. Even when water that is only warm is placed under the exhausted receiver oc an air-pump, the removal of the pressure of the atmosphere gives the steam such additional elasticity that the fluid will boil. This experiment was exhibited ; also the phenomenon of ebullition in a less violent degree, when water perfectly cold is employed ; the bubbles, however, in the latter me are net those of steam, but of the air which all water contains. The " singing" of a kettle is to be attri buted to the evolution of these bubbles of air. The great importance of the constant presence of air in water was forcibly pointed out. The bubbles of air operate, as Professor Faraday described it, like minute wedges in separating the particles of water from each other, so! herwise the mass of fluid would adhere, and could not be separated without a much higher degree of heat than is requisite for boiling in ordinary circumstances. It has been sscertainis', indeed, by recent researches on the Con tinent that water from which air has been carefully abstracted may be heated to a temperature of 270 degrees, without boiling, but when it has been h ea t e d above that point it explodes with great violence. A. bent tube containing water from which the air had been extracted was exhibited to show the adhesion of the fluid. The water in this case did not find its level, for when the tube was inverted one arm of it remained full whilst the other was nearly empty, and it required a smart blow on the table to bring the water in the two tubes to a level. By carefully abstracting air from mercury, it may be made in the same manner to stand in a perpen dicular tube far above the height that it can be supported by the pressure of the atmosphere alone. When a smooth metallic vessel is strongly heated, water and other liquids poured into them assume a spheroidal shape, and do not touch the heated vessel ; consequently they do not become so hot as when poured on to a metallic body less highly heated. This fact was illustrated in a remarkable manner by several experiments. A small rod of heated silver was immersed in a glass of water without in the first instance producing any ebullition, and it was not till the silver had become partially cooled that steam issued. In another illustration of the same phenomenon water and iodine were placed in sepa rate highly-heated platinum dishes, and so long as the heat was maintained the water and the iodine were seen to have assumed a spheroidal form, and danced about without emitting any visible steam or vapour, but as soon as the heat was diminished the water flashed into steam and the iodine was dissipated in violet-coloured vapour. Professor Faraday stated that we are indebted to M. Boutigny, the French chemist, for these curious illustrations of the effects of bodies assuming a spheroidal form, and he had suc ceeded by a different modification of the experiment in freezing water and even mercury in a red hot vessel. There were on the lecture table numerous specimens of the encrustation or " fur" on kettles and boilers. In one example of the encrustation of a steam-boiler the deposit was one or two inches thick. The effect of such a lining is to obstruct the passage of heat, consequently to increase the quantity of coal requisite for working the engine. In the case of one of her Majesty's steam-ships, the boilers were so foul that all the coal for the voyage had been consumed, and the engineers were obliged to use the ship's spars, and all available timber, to bring the vessel up the river. The crust formed arises in most cases from the deposition of lime from the water, and aln ingenious pl an h as b een di s covered for readily removing it. By putting muriate or ° boiler, the f ammo nia (sal ammoniac) into the kettle muriatic acid enters into combination compound, and with the car bonate of lime, and forms a soluble by this means the foulest boiler cr kettle may be rendered perfectly free from enc rustation. Profes sor Faraday said he should , in his next lecture, conclude the present course with the appropriate sulject of 0 PICTURES B OUGHT DT ART-UNION OF LONDON...-.
