H ALD E R'S FOUNTAIN PUMPS. Is..j The most powerful in the world, with which a man of ten stone weight can raise an imperial barrel of water forty three feet high in a minute, but with no other Pump yet tried in a minute and a-half. Their practical gain is most extraor dinary, seldom below 70, and mote frequently above 100 per cent., taking the average of the results of every altitude from 1 foot to 100 feet high. This remarkable gain in the art of raising water was effected in the simplest manner possible, being merely by substituting a rolling instead of a sliding prin ciple for l'umps, by which their friction and leakage was abo lished, after the tens of thousands of bootless attempts that had seen made by the ablest mechanics in the world for 2,000 years. For a long time after this immortal invention was publicly introduced, a host of bullying novices insulted society by pre dicting that it would prove - limited and frail, who are now snivellii.g about that their trade would be ruined, because Fountain Pumps prove 300 per cent the most durable, whe ther used by the power of man, horse, or steam, and they are so economical and invariable in their action, that they com monly perform for rnaltsters, brewers, and dyers for years with out the least expense or the slightest variation.. Also, so re markable simple, that smiths, millwrights, wheelwrights, car penters,' &c., as well as hydraulic engineers, successfully un dertake their fixing and reparation, neither are Fountain Pumps retarded, Choked, nor injured by occasionally delivering a few tons of sand, although a very little of that material soon deranges and seriously damages the best Friction Pumps. Slowly indeed, the art of raising water approached perfection 4,000 years ago. The beautiful Miss Rebecca brought up water from a t ell in a pitcher upon her shoulder for her sweetheart's camels. _ Since then appeared the four principles, namely, two limited, and two unlimited principles—two of them sliding principles, one a spiral principle, and one a rolling principle. 1 t. The Chain-pump in action is direct and simple ; but by friction and leakage very defective and dreadfully uncertain, and from its numerous parts highly complicated. The Chain pump is a combination of inefficient expensive lumber—a limited sliding principle. 2d. Archimedes' Screw-rump is founded upon a brilliant idea; but its applicability is very confined—a limited spiral principle. • 3d. Tesibies' Pipe and Poker Pump, or the Athenian Squirt. This is the root and principle of all Piston and Cylinder Pumps, under every Dame and modification. All Pumps upon this plan are of necessity bad beyond remedy, and stupid indeed :Must they be•who expect the contrary, because mostly above 'two-fifths of the labour employed is entirely wasted by their `friction' and leakage, and when accurately tested against the new principle, always prove to be but contemptible machines. Nevertheless these imperfect Pumps stood unrivalled for the last 2,000 years—an unlimited sliding principle. 4th, and last, Shalder's Pump appeared and made laughing stocks of the other three Pumps, and exalted the art of raising water to a science. The Fountain Pump is neither more nor less than the Pump made absolute, because without any dis coverable defect or imperfection it possesses every essential property for the purpose intended in the highest degree. AN UNLIMITED ROLLING PRINCIPLE. Dr. Birkbeck. President of the Mechanics' Institution, Lon . - don, says the Fountain Pump is free from the liabilities and defects of the common Friction Pump, and approaches a perfect • Hydraulie Machine. The Vice-President, Professor John Millington, Esq., F.L. S., published a work in 1830, and therein makes a rash, false, foul, and silly assertion, that the new principle is limited, and although, from its diminished friction it has its advantages in some cases, it cannot the used for great elevations. Never theless, Fountain Pumps prove equally durable for lifts above as below one hundred feet. Millington might surely have known that flexibility was no proof of frailty, nor rigidity of durability. The rigid teeth of mamma and her four sisters were mostly gone, but their flexible tontine 5 remained in full activity when their ages, united with their only brother, exceeded five hun dred years. And the Connectors or (flexible Cones) in Foun tain Pumps prove also not only surpassing durable, but almost indcstructable. 5 5 OFFICE OF ORDNANCE, ArraL 24, 1840.

METROPOLITAN INFIRMARY for the CURE of STRICTURES of the URETHRA, GONORRIHEA, GLEETS, SYPHILIS, &c. This Insti tution is closed, but as the Surgeon of it feels assured that there are hundreds suffering under the diseases, to the cure of which it was especially devoted, who would gladly avail them selves of his professional assistance, rather than place them selves under the charge of chemists, or, worse still, have re course to any of the dangerous and inefficient nostrums daily aitertised, he has made arrangements to see patients at his own residence, at the mere expense to the patient of the neces sary medicine. Thus persons of limited means have now an opportunity of securing for themselves a mode of treatment that, whilst it is based on experience, is regulated by the pecu liarities which their own cases and constitutions may require ; thereby freeing themselves from the absurdities and datie.ers that wait upon the employment of one kind of medicine for all forms of these diseases, without regard to these essential particulars.

THE CUCKOO.—Some of the London papers are paragraphing, as something remarkable, the hea r i ng th e cuc koo last week near Chesterfield. This welcome harbinger of spring has been heard in our fields for the last fortnight, and hi s "two notes" are now heroine so common as scarcely to excite a remark. It is thought by most persons in this neigh bourhood, that an early visit of this feathered favourite is indi cative of an early and plentiful harvest. While on the subject of the cuckoo, we would remind our agricultural friends of the impropriety of shooting or driving away this useful creature. Sparrows are universally considered nuisances, and there is not a more wholesale destroyer of this little rapacious bird than the young cuckoo. The manner in which the young cuckoo destroys the young sparrows, and thus prevents tiiem doing that mischief they would do if allowed to grow up, is not a little singular, and as all our readers may not be acquainted with this remarkable fact in natural history, we beg leave to state it. The old cuckoo deposits its eggs in the sparrow's nest, about the same time that the sparrow herself is laying her own eggs, and it thus happens that the young cuckoo leaves its egg about the same time as the young sparrows leave theirs. Scarcely has the young cuckoo issued from its shell ere it begins turning all the you ng s p arrows out of the nest. With the as sistance of its wings, it con t r i ves t o get t h e bi r d , or egg , u pon its back, a and, clamb er i ng t o th e top o f t h e nest, e j ects i t s load jerk.

B.Beamish, Esq. , 's, from Grenville House, Cork. street, St. James e, VENING EDITION. , T EAM 7 .11 • A .- • 2-1 ~4/' TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. y hope you will do me the favour to give insertion to a few remarks of mine, in reply to a letter in the Times Newspaper of the 24th inst., signed "An Old Volunteer." I should not have thought such a production worthy a reply, were it not that the Editor comments on it, as deserving to be read with attention. In the first place, the writer deems it necessary to inform us that he hardly knows whether the bowsprit be at the head or tail of a vessel. After such an acknowledgment, and so expressed, one would imagine that the Times could not be serious in so strongly recom mending this letter to its readers. The Old Volunteer allows there were many fine ships in the port that were objects of his admira tion, and is much dejected "at not finding immense bustle and stir, as war is so much spoken of ; and his disappointment was beyond conception in not finding some men-of-war actually in commission, with their masts, sails, and ropes in order' What nonsense for the Old Volunteer writing about what he knew nothing of ! How c o uld he tell whether the masts were properly stayed, the ropes in their proper places, or the sails furled as they should be ? And these he states to be -the chief object of his search ! When I read thus far I was in hopes he would have gone ashore fully satisfied that the Board of Admiralty were highly culpable, instead of whieh he perseveres and actually discovers some ships in ordinary, others in dock repairing, and a number of receiving ships and hulks. I should like to have seen his countenance on beholding such extraordi nary objects in Portsmouth harbour ; had he have gone to Plymouth, I should have despaired of his ever returning alive, as he would there have seen also ships in dock repairing, hulks and receiving ships in abundance. The conversation he had with the patriotic boatman must have been interesting and very affecting, particularly in speaking of the good old times when the ships at Spithead were like a moving forest, and the price then paid to a boatman to go there-was ten shillings ; now you may go foss. two. ,He must have shed tears at the recital. I find the - boatman speaks of Admiral Fleming ~by Ilan which, lAm happy to •find • be was usually'styled Charley, he al ways. ma tril self familiar and friendly with his officers and men, and was no tyrant. It would appear that the old boatman had for merly belonged to a man-dr-war, and when he said the Americans had got all our best seamen, he was not very complimentary to himself. 1 am free to confess, that at the close of the late war, and for some five or six years after, very many of our best seamen went to America, and I ant not surprised at it. I could give many reasons for their clomp so ; but that is twenty years ago, and most of those brave and neglected tars have paid the debt of nature, or become too old to be of any real service in the United States, or have returned to their native country, which, experience has taught them, is the best in the world. I have availed myself of opportunities, within these few years, of ascertaining their real sentiments, and they one and all allow that an English man-of-war is the best ship for a sailor.; their treatment is good, their provisions good, their comforts studied ; and, only give them a trifle more advance in pay, and leave now and then to go ashore, where time and circumstances would admit of it; and you might man the whole Navy of England in twelve months. This subject brings me to some remarks on the same Paper on a Pamphlet, which the Times highly approves of, written by Sir Thomas Cochrane. Some of his remarks are well enough, but where he states that a ship, when the prospect of being paid off comes in view, their discipline, gun exercise, &c., began to relax, this surprises me very much, to come from such authority ; and, with all due submission to Sir Thomas, I must confess my doubts ; and, if such want of discipline and neglect did occur, allow me to ask why was it permitted, particularly the want of discipline ? I agree with Sir Thomas that a peace establish ment should be considered as much a preliminary preparation for war as for any other service, and also that the ships employed should he manned with picked men; but I disapprove of breakins , up a ship's com pany where it can be avoided. I think I could suggest something better, and effect a great saving to the country under the head of wear and tear, which, if my calculations be right, amount to one third of the actual expense of the aggregate. I should recommend that every ship now in com mission be not only completed to her lull war com plement of men, but an increase, say from 160 to 180 men in a first-rate, and decreasing the number down to the smallest ship in the service, about one man and a half to a gun. Steamers in proportion to power and armament, with a pro portion of Lieutenants and Midshipmen, by which means this disposable force, all able-bodied seamen, are kept in actual service without the enormous ex pense that would attend the wear and tear of so many more ships, as would be required for them, according to the present system of manning the Navy, as there are at all times a certain uumber of ships of war at the different ports in perfect readi ness to be commissioned, should a case of emer gency arise. The overplus of seamen being all able bodied men, having among them a certain number of petty officers, such as quartermasters, captains ,of the forecastle and tops, boatswain, gunner, and carpenter's mates, &c., &c., &c., would be good materials to lay the foundation for the crews of twelve or sixteen sail-of-the-line, or for the imme diate equipment of eight. These men so distributed in Europe and the West Indies, might be brought to this country in three or four weeks, in consequence of the facilities of steam navigation. The ships of the present day are so much larger than formerly, that any officer who remembers the Victory, Blenheim, Natnur, Bellona, Warrior, and compare them in tonnage, length, and breadth, with the ships of the same rate now afloat will be satisfied that the increase over the full complement can be better accommodated than the complement only at the time I allude to. In conclusion, I cannot agree with Sir Thomas that a sailor ever thought of the drudgery and an• noyance of fitting out, or even the exercise in all its various blanches, as a reason for remaining in or leaving the service. It is true that a Captain may carry the latter to extremes, but at present officers consult the comforts that mer. are entitled to with a proper adherence to discipline. AN OLD OFFICER.

Next in amount and importance to that huge monopoly stands the monopoly eiijoyed by the West Ir,dians on nearly the whole of their produce ; and there can be no question that after the grand struggle to liberate the industrious classes from the avaricious grasp of the landlords has passed, public at tention will be fully directed to the best means of annihi lating the discriminating duties on foreign and colonial ploducc--if, indeed, the state of the Revenue does not, at an earlier period, compel the Chancel:or of the xchequer to propose tha alteration we have for a length of time advocated.
