The PEARL C A.NDLE LAMP is the perfection of Candle Lights, and must succeed ; its simplicly myriads will admire. To sell the ordi nary Candle Lamps is now impossible—the public hays long enough been psstered with such rubbish. The DIAMOND CARCEL OIL LAMP is the best oil light in the world. The Cared Lamp is used in all the Palaces in Europe; this is sufficient guarantee for all—it never will be out-done. The STARLIGHT NIGHT LIGHT is a beautiful little light to illumine the bedchamber. An other night lights will be used no more ; its economy and simplicity all will admire, for what can be desired more than perfection? To what conclusion cam we come? Certain, henceforward the only lights will be—the Sun, the mighty gem of Heaven by day ; the Pearl and Diamond Lights at evening ; and the Star at night, to illumine the British territory. These splendid Lights burning continually at CLARK'S, the immense LAMP DEPOT, 447, West Strand, ten doors from Low ther Arcade. ON THE CONCEALED CAUSE.

EpAmss' PULMONIC CIGARETTES.-Phy: sicians have long discovered that in diseases of the lungs and air passages, a remedy to be really efficacious must come in direct contact with the diseased organ, and this cannot take place unless it be administered ander the form of vapour or smoke. The diseases in which the Cigarettes have been found so beneficial are, difficulty of breathing, tightness of the chest, spas:nodie asthma, catarrhs, hoarseness, sore throats, aphony (loss of voice), car-aches, rheuma tism of the jaws, tooth-ache, neuralgia, &c. In the first stage of consumption their beneficial effects are surprising, and in the ad vanced stages they relieve the cough, lessen the expectoration, check the night perspiration, and produce calm and refreshing sleep.

The pulse varied much in force, regularity, and frequency. Before the inhalation of the vapour it counted 120, during the height of the operation it was 160 irregular and inter mitting, and ufter the removal of the leg it subsided to 100, and became soft and tranquil. After the wound had been dressed, and previous to the removal to bed, she rapidly recovered her consciousness, and the ex pression of her face became beautifully serene and calm. She said she had not felt the slightest pain, and in a childish, affectionate, and joyous manner, threw her arms round the neck of the operator and kissed him. When carried to her bed she showed surprise and de light, and declared to the nurse she could not believe the leg had been amputated, for she had been so utterly un conscious of what had taken place; she even passed her hand down in search of her foot, before she could be convinced of the fact. In a few minutes afterwards she rea fast asleep, and has not experienced a single unfa vourable symptom since the operation. Tte numerous scientific and professional visitors were delighted, that a child so much debilitated by long-continued disease, should have borne the shock of so important a surgical process with such entire absence of the nervous distur bance and agitation which have always hitherto accom panied amputations, and capital operations in general, and warmly congratulated Mr. 'Thomson upon the complete and signill success which had crowned his efforts.

Feb. 18,1847. r iIHE COMMITTEE for CONDUCTING th e JL, ELECTION of the EARL OF POWIS to the Chancellorship of the University of Cambridge beg to submit the following STATE MENT to the Members of the Senate:— When by the lamented death of the late Chancellor it became ne cessary to consider the appointment of a successor, it was deemed desirable to bring forward such a candidate as might be sapposed to be most acceptable to the general body of the Senate, and to repre sent the opinions of the majority of its members. The interest which the Earl of Fowls had uniformly displayed in all that concerns the University, and the acquaintance which by his education and subsequent connexion with it he had maintained with our academic institutions—the independence of his character and Position—the seal and energy which he has exhibited in forwarding the interests of the Church, and his able and effectual support of her clatms, naturally directed the attention of many members of the Uni versity to this nobleman, and steps were immediately taken to obtain his Lordship's consent to be put in nomination for the high °Mee of Chancellor. The Earl of Fowls at once acceded to the request, and the flivour able manner in which his Lordship's name has been received assures this ccmmittoe that the same considerations which led to the first in vitation to Lord Fowia will secure the warm and hearty support of all who feel how important it is to the University that their Chancel lor should poss ess th ose qualities for which the Earl of Fowls Is se aatketkpalanesaa.irneathide :anaemte s ili t that The The CEonLEimCiTttlooONtr: eminently distinguished.

The following elucidation of the Drainage Act is co pied from a recent number of the Gardener's Chronicle and Agricultural Gazette. It will be found of very great utility both to landlords and tenants. ! 1. So much misapprehension seems to prevail, both with respect to the advantages resulting from borrow ing money under the provisions of the Land Drainage Act, and also as to the proportion of the annual pay • ments towards the extinction of such debts, which proprietors and their tenants ought respectively to con tribute, that the succeeding observations may possibly be acceptable to those of your readers who aro inte rested in the subject. 2.—As everybody knows, the Drainage Commissioners, in return for each 1001. ad vanced by them, are to receive an annual payment of 6/. 10s. fur 22 years, on the expiry of which period the debt is cancelled. Of this sum 6L 103., one half may be regarded as simple interest at 3 per cent, while the other moiety, if suffered to accumulate with compound interest also at the rate of 31 per cent., will, immediately after the 22d payment, amount to 1091. 3s. lid., and thus somewhat more than extinguish the debt. (3.) The Act being intended as a boon to the agricultural interest generally, and by way of compensation for a measure which the majority of that bed) looked upon as injurious to them, its projectors unquestionably designed that all concerned, both proprietors and tenants, should partici pate equally in the benefits resulting from it. These benefits are of two kinds—first, such as arise from the increased productiveness of the land; and, 2dly, those consequent on the low rate of interest charged by the Government for its loan. It is evident that the advantages which the former class will ulti mately confer on proprietors, whose interest in the soil is permanent, must be greater than those derivable from them by tenants, during their tem porary occupancy of their farms; but as this result is not peculiar to improvements effected by means of the Government loan, it:is unnecessary to make any further allusion to it in this place, and I shall, there fore, confine myself to pecuniary matters. (4.) A pro prietor can at present, on the security of his estate, and without the aid of Government, borrow money at 4 per cent , and, very generally, charges his tenant 1 per cent. more than he himself pays. Part of this addi tional per tentage is necessarily expended in stamps and legal documents ; but in order to make the ease appear as favourable as possible to the proprietor, I shall as sume that he reaps the whole benefit arising from the superfluous impost. Under these circumstances, his account for each 100/. borrowed will, at the end of 22 years, stand thus:— Sums borrowed £lOO 0 0 Value of an annuity of IL for 22 years at 3i per cent. paid by the tenant, and therefore to be deducted from the above SUM 32 6 7 Balance still due by proprietor £67 13 5 If the annuity had been calculated at 4 per cent., the unliquidated balance would have been 651. 15s. Cid. (5.) Compared with the details of the preceding system, the advantage which accrues to the proprietor, and the profit or loss to the tenant on each 1004 borrowed from Go vernment, varying as they necessarily do, with the share of the annual payments which the parties severally con tribute, will appear from the following statements. As an apology for the introduction of the first three cases, I must mention that some proprietors have refused to apply for a share of the loan, unless their tenants agree to provide the whole of the annual payments. Case IV is understood to be the one prescribed for the benefit 01 his Scotch tenants by the Duke of Richmond. CASE I.—The tenant rated at 61 per cent. At 31 percent.—Gain to the proprietor by the extinction of the balance duo on each 1001. as above (4) ... £67 13 5 Value of an annuity of 41. for 22 years gained by the proprietor in consequence of the tenant paying the whole interest on the sum bor rowed, and, therefore, to be added to the above.. 129 6 4 Total gain to the proprietor Loss to the tenant by pa) ing 61 per cent. instead of 5 per cent, for 22 years, equal to an annuity of 1/.'los, for that period At 4 per cent.—The proprietor's gain cal culated as before, would have been 202 14 10 The tenant's loss would have been CASE IL—The proprietor rated at 4 per cent., and the tenant at 6 per cent.

As in this case, the tenant pays the same rate of in terest which is demanded from him under the ordinary system of borrowing money (4), he is, of course, neither benefited nor otherwise by the Land Drainage Act.

At 31 per cent.—The proprietor's gain is .L132 6 7 The tenant's gain, in paying 4i instead of 5 per cent., for 22 years, equal to an annuity of 10s. for that period 16 3 3i Excess of proprietor's gain ... 116 3 3 At 4 per cent.—The proprietor's gain is... 134 4 11 Tenant's gain, calculated as above... 17 2 6 Excess of proprietor's gain ll7 25i CASE Vl.—The proprietor rated at 2i per cent., the tenant at 4 per cent.

(G.) In determining the share of the an nual payments which a proprietor may, in justice, de mand from a tenant, it must be observed that the ques tion is not whether the latter can afford to pay si per RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

WRECK of the BRECHIN CASTLE. SWANSEA, MONDAY NIGHT.—Early on Sunday morning last a feeling of the deepest regret pervaded the whole town on the announcement of a most distressing shipwreck having occurred in the course of the previous night on the coast west ward of Mumbles Head. The unfortunate vessel proved to be the Brechin Castle, 400 tons burden, homeward bound to this port from Port Adelaide, with the Australian mail on beard. The catastrophe was discovered by one of the coast guard, who was returning from his duty at daybreak along the beach, when his attention was drawn to a quantity of broken bulwarks, and other fragments of wreck, just abreast of Mumbles Head light. He immediately hastened to his superior officer, who lost no time in dispatching a body of his men to collect what property might be washed ashore on other parts of the coast. From the fact of both the ship's boats being subsequently picked up dashed to atoms, no doubt was entertained that every soul belonging to her bad met with a watery grave. Every exertion was made to collect all the information on the subject by closely examining the rocks for papers and documents, and several were found, which led to the identification of the unfortunate ship and the names of the crew and the passengers. It appeared she was laden with copper ore, and commanded by Mr. J. R. Baxter, with a crew of 15 hands. The last place she was known to touch at was the Cape of Good Hope whence she sailed on the 23d of December last, and had arrived within fifteen miles of her destination when the deplorable event occurred. There has been a light-ship recently placed on the Helwicks, a dan gerous shoal, to the westward of the Mumbles, and of Port Eynon, and the general belief among the pilots and others capable of judging is, that this was mistaken for the Mumbles light at the entrance of the bay, and hence arose the distress ing accident. So sudden was it that the momont she struck the rocks she went to pieces. During Sunday part of the ship's hull was got off and towed ashore, about half a mile to westward of the lighthouse, by several dredging oyster boats. In the afternoon som e Australian newspapers, dated Adelaide, October 17, were picked up in Laingland Bay, supposed to come from the wreck. The names of the crew and passengers drowned are described in the list handed to us by the agents to be as follows : Mr. J. 11. Baxter, commander; Mr. Nichols, first mate; Mr. John Adamson, second mate; Robert Robertson, ship's carpenter; Daniel Lettess, steward; John Payne, able sea man ; 'William Mills, ditto ; Andrew Nelson, ditto ; Steward Mars, ditto ; John Gow, ditto ; Daniel Myles, ditto ; Daniel Fullis, ditto; David Reed, ditto; J. Pack, ditto; James Scott, ditto. Passenger's names : Mr. Winterbottom, Mrs. Winterbottom, and her child ; Mr. Fairborn, Mrs. Fairborn, and her child. Four others, names not exactly known. The only bodies yet washed ashore have been those of two sailors; one was found at Cliff, six miles distant, on Sunday evening, and the other to-day. The latter had a life-buoy secured to it. A large leather bag was found this morning, with a brass plate attached to it, addressed to the Postmaster. General, London. It proved to be the mail-bag, containing the Port Adelaide pa pers and letters. It was immediately London.

THE PERFECT APPLICABILITY OF ETHER TO SURGICAL OPERATIONS UPON DELICATE FEMALES AND CHIL- I )REN. An emaciated young female, about thirteen years of age, who had been reduced to extreme danger from a painful scrofulous disease, was subjected to an amputa tion of her leg on Wednesday, the 24th instant, at the Westminster Hospital, in the presence of an unusual assemblage of medical men and distinguished cultivators of science. The patient was placed under the ethereal influence by means of the ingenious apparatus of Mr. Robinson, of Gower -street. The poor child became etherized in about three minutes, when the eminent senior surgeon of the hospital, Mr. Hale Thomson, very dexterou sl y and speedily amputated her leg below the knee. Three arteries were taken up and tied, and an admirable cushion was formed. The characteristic circumstances which mark the effect of the ether were fully apparent. The face became • suffused with red, the pupils of the eyes dilated, and the breathing slow and loudly audible. This case exhibited some modifi cation of the usual symptoms. There was more of the involuntary telex rniticular action than is commQoy No. 16,986.

THE DISTRESS. DUBLIN, FEB. 23.—The accounts from Cork are becoming more and more gloomy, getting, in truth, from bad to worse. The following passage from the l e tt er o f a Roman Catholi c c l ergyman ( the Rev. Mr. Mulcahy) will serve as a sample of the state to which districts in that county have been reduced:— " To give you some idea, and it is a very faint one, of the sacrifice of human lire that has taken place in the district of Castlehaven and Myross, I state with con fidence and sorrow that in one fishing hamlet, called Carrigillihi, out of a population of 472 individuals who were alive on the Ist of January, 1847, not less than 87 of that number have been since carried off by starvation. This is a fact I am ready to attest on the solemnity of my oath, before any tribunal in the realm." The state of the Cork Workhouse fur the week just ended is as follows: Total admitted during the week, 452; births, 5; num ber at the end of lasCweek, 5,295—t0ta1, 5,752. Dis charged, 292; died, 146 ; on pass, 8 ; deserted, 5 —451. Total remaining, 5,301. Number in hospital, 627 ; ex tern patients 1:329. Died yesterday (Sunday), 28. MIL O'CONNELL'S HEALTH. Private reports to-day speak unfavourably of the pro gress of Mr. O'Connell's indisposition. A letter ad dressed to Mr. Hackett, of Cork, by the Hon. Gentle man's intimate friend, Mr. P. V. Fitzpatrick, for many years secretary to the trustees of the tribute, gives a far less hopeful account of his general state of health than the public were led to believe from the speech delivered yesterday by Mr. Thomas Steele. Mr. Fitzpatrick thus writes:— " Dublin, Feb. 18, 1847. 44 My dear Hackett,—l deplore to write that the Liberator has been very ill, and unceasingly so, since Le left, the shores of Ireland. " More than one consultation has been held by his physicians in London, and. although they consider that there is nothing imminent, nor perhaps very serious, in his cast', his letters to me prove that his own misgivings are such as to be likely to aggravate any bad symptoms. " The redundant vitality' with which, in conjunction with other distinguishing qualities, he was naturally blessed, has perhaps rendered him nervous on expe riencing a reduction of his physical powers and the access of ailments almost inseparable from the period of life he has attained. "Some efforts must be made by change of scene and climate, or such cour,e as the medical men shall advise, on the opening of the season, to restore him to his usual health, and qualify him to work as heretofore for his country and friends—who are known to be the friends of Ireland likewise. For myself, Cam quite sanguine, that by judicious management his invaluable existence may be, with the blessing of God, prolonged for years to come . . " In great haste, most truly yours, " P. V. FITZPATRICK. " William llack , At, E q." MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK. DREADFUL SUFFERINGS OF THE CREW. (From the Edinburgh Register.) The following account of the loss of the brig Mar wood is abstracted from the journal of one of the sur vivors. The letter communicating the intelligence is dated Wick, 10th instant:— On the 13th January one of the hands died through cold and hunger; the ship driving northward, without a !udder, tossed on the billows, and altogether ungovern able. •n the 17th January saw land, supposed to be the Shetland Islands. On the 18th, found ourselves to leeward of the laud; ship making much water; all hands very weak. No provisions, and the ship ungo vernable; thought it prudent to endeavour to save our lives by abandoning her. Launched the boat, took a few clothes, and endeavoured to reach the land, but the sea ran so high that we were obliged to throw everything out of the boat to lighten her. One man died in the boat. We thought it prudent to return to the ship. We managed to get the boat in, but could not, from fatigue, bury the dead man until late the following day. Our provisions were then nearly out; our allowance was one wine-glass of rice and palm-oil per day, and one wine-glass of water per day. The cold was intense. On the morning of the 21st, we found ourselves close to an island of rock, ascending to the very clouds, covered with snow and ice, and almost perpendicular. The sea was foaming and lash ing the rocks; a strong current running; the sea boil ing with whirlpools and eddy winds. We endeavoured to run the vessel up to what we thought was a bay; but, owing to the eddy winds and currents, the vessel was ungovernable. We cut away the masts, as the sea was running high, and the ship riding very heavily. We were then starving. We ate leather, palm-oil, dried monkey skins, buttons, tobacco pouches, or anything we could get our hands on. We could not land : we made signals, but were not answered. Some of us drank salt water, some their urine, and when a heavy dew or light rain fell, we licked about the rails and deck of the ship until the blood oozed from our lips and tongue. On the 22d, another man died from hunger ; his corpse lay_ among us ; we could not bury it, we were so wea t k s . tate lt lay twenty-four hours, when, 0 my God !

We found ourselves on the island of Videroe, one of the Ferro° islands ; and the place we brought up with the ship was the island of Fulow, close to each other. The inhabitants are the most kind people, and live amicably together. We afterwards learned that we should not get off the island before the latter end of March, and we should then have to go to Copenhagen before wo could proceed to E ng l and; but by chance a small Norwegian sloop w as at Trosound and she agreed to take us to Shetland. We left Trosound on the 4th of February, but owing to it blowing a gale of wind, we could not get to Shetland, but succeeded in landing here, after having been a second time nearly shipwrecked. "The Marwoxl is a total wreck. She sank at her moorings. We saved nothing but what was on our backs. A few casks of the cargo have been picked up about the Ferroo Islands. FATAL ACCIDENT AT BLAcxwALL.—Yesterday afternoon an inquest was taken before Mr. W. Baker, Co roner, at the George the Fourth, High-street, Poplar, on the body of Daniel Joiner, aged 13 years, a glass polisher. The deceased was in the employ of the Thames Plate Glass Com pany at Blackwell. On Wednesday morning last he was at work as usual in polishing a quantity of glass by means of machinery. He had placed several cloths or " laps," under the bench, for the purpose of keeping the glass from view, when the rollers caught his head, and jammed it with great force against the bench, which was in motion. The poor fallow was instantly released, but life was quite extinct.

The preceding data show that the latter interrogatory must be answered in the negative, and fur ther, that were there no expenses attending the realisa tion and application of the loan, the arrangement specified in case X. ought to be adopted. As, how ever, advertisements, inspections, reports, and super intendence cannot be had for nothing, I believe that case IX. is the more equitable one for both parties —the excess of grain which accrues to him being more than sufficient to enable the proprietor to meet all de - - mands for the services mentioned ; while the tenant will cheerfully pay his contribution of 3 per cent. (7). The preceding calculations, being founded on the assumption that a proprietor can borrow money at 4 per cent., are of course, only applica!ile to the owners and tenants of alienable estates. No one, under ordinary circumstance?, will advance capital for the purpose of improving en tailed properti es except at a r a t e o f i n t erest w hi c h pre cludes the possibility of borrowing with profit ; and yet, by the provisions of the Land Drainage Act the possessors of such territories are placed (so fir as the facility of procuring the ase of money is concerned) in. as favourable a position as those whose lands are un fettered. The measure in question has, therefore, been justly regarded as an especial bowl to the holders of en tailed estates ; but I appre'eend, that, in rnany cases, pru dential considerations will interfere to prevent landlords so circumstanced from availing themselves of the ad vantages which it was intended to confer on the in. In illustration of this conjecture, let it be supposed that the possessor of an entailed estate, whose age is such, th at ,. according to the average va l ue o f life, he is likely to survive for fifteen years, is requested by a tenant hold ing a lease, the unexpired term of which also extends to fifteen years, to apply fur a share of the Gus em inent . loan, in order to improve lands occupied by the latte r. It is evidently improbable that under suchecircumstances the landlord will live to reap any benefit from the in crease of rent to be anticipated on a renewal of the leas, , while (in contributing what has been assumed as his fair share of the annual payments to Government, viz., 31 per cent.), be will in fif.cen years have paid (cone- , pitting the annuity at 31 per cent.), 671. 10s. 811; or, , (tf at 4 per evil.), 70L ls. 7ide f'or each' 1001. borrowed, either of the sums being such as only the • suc cessor to the estate, to the exclusion of all the other heirs, can profit by. Oa the other hand, a tenant whose farm is likely to be greatly ameliorated by . drain- age, may, if a considerable portion of his lease is yet to [ run, find it advantageous to pay the whole e/ percent., rather than let his fields remain in their present condition. A careful consideration of all such matters cm alone enable the owners and occupiers of entailed lands to judge how far a share of the funds, available under the Land Drainage Act, are likely to be mutually or individually beneficial to them, and, by the opinion thus formed, arrange the scale of their respective pay ments. (8.) In conclusion, I may remark that, as the certain consequences of such improvements as the Go vernment advances are intended to effect will, on the ter mination of existing engagements, be a rise of rent, in most cases greatly exceeding the amount of the annual payments demanded in return for the loan, the advan tage to proprietors will be greater in proportion to the shortness of the leases, while, of course, the reverse holds good with respect to Tenant.—A. R. P.S.—Although, in order more fully to illustrate the several cases, the results of the annuites both at 31 per cent. and 4 per cents., have been inserted in the preced ing paper, it will be seen that the general consequences are not materially affected by the difference of the rates
