The-Directors have secured Lv purchase, for the purposes of this Company, the exclusive use a an "Improved Patent Steam Boiler," the invention of which bas in itself cleated such an im mense alteration in Use Capabilities of Steam Navigation, con ferring power to overcome the difficulties hitherto fielieved.to be insurmountable, that no doubt can exist of the perfect feasibility and consistency of the enterprise. The principal advantages tif these Boilers may be.thus briefly stated:— 1. A reduction of wore than one-half in bulk and weight. 2. A sAving of ahout_so per cent. in the consumption of fuel 3. THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF BURSTING 4. The peculiar roost' uction of the boiler, any portions of which, if damaged, c...sit be readily taken asunder, and in►medi ately replaCifd by new• parts in workirg-order. 5. The internal arrangements prevent any incrustations or settlement of salty or earthy matter ; and ensure most satisfac- torily the efficacy . and du-•ability of the The Company's ships'will be so constructed and rigged as to pOssesi both sailing and steaming powers. This grand desider atum is effected by an ingenious method of raising and lowering the paddle-wheels. It is the _intention of the Directors to build six or more vessels, each of 1200 tons register, carrying 1700 tous, with engines of 32t) horse power; so that voyages may be performed twelve times out awl twelve times home, in each year, calling only at the fuel station, viz. Saldanha Bay, adjoiningthe Ciqie of Good Hope. The Directory have every reason to believe, that the voya4le from Plymouth to the Point de Galle may be performed IN FIFTY na`its; each steam-ship will perfornt her four passages (twice to India and twice to Europe) in two hundred days. There will, therefore, remain one hundred and sixty-five days of each year to he divided between England and India, for re pairs and the shipment of cargo, fuel, and passengers, or forty une days at each port. • The estimates of the profits, which will be seen by reference to the Prospectus to be considerable, are, in the opinion of the Directors, so well foanded, that they have determined to defer any remuneration to themselves in respect of the management of the Company's affairs until after the Shareholders shall have received a dividend of five per cent. on the paid up capital. According to Parliamentary documents, nine millions sterling form the ann u a l amount of trade to the three Presidencies of Calcutta, Madras, and . Bombay. an d f our m illi ons more to t h e Cape, Mauritius, and China. This Company's vessels will each - be destined to carry six hundred tens of cargo,,besides passen gers, &c. &c.;, and when we consider how vastly important it is to merchants hat their goods should appear iu the markets, accompanied by their iespective correspondence, in the shot space of lifty-four days, there can be little dank that the limited tonnage of this company (7,200) will he in request at a high rate tit' remuneration. di sullies of Red Sea Li ne w ill b e lo this s,o ) a g e the many avoided. Tile property of the'Company will consist uoiy of large steam ships. impollance of this undertaking justifies the Directors in announcing their intention of applying to Parliament for an act t) facilitate the objects of this Company, and instructions have beets given accordingly. The capital of the Company will he divided in shares of £5O each, on which a deposit of £3 will he required as the first in stalment. Two months' notice will be given of every further call. It is proposed to subscribe the additional sum of £250,000 iu India, subject to special arrangethents.

This latter is. rather the characteristic of the commonest Soda Water, for the obvious reason that the air is disengaged. whereas, by the peculiar principle of SciiwEPPE's process, the Carbonic Acid does not escape with the cork, but, being thoroughly amalgamated with the water, remains as a valuable medicinal feature in their manufacture.

It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the ve nereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that de idly poison, Mercury, ruin the constitution, - and when the great Doctor Swednur 'hecame ProfesSor at Ley den University, he conferred en invalqable benefit upon man kind by the discovery of his grand , Panacea, for the cure of this deplorable complaint. Never did a discovery excite a greater sensation, it was simeht after with avidity, and used with the undeviating success in the most minute and intricate cases of the delicate complaint, for the cure of which they have been so long celebrated, The fame of these - Pills throughout Germany, caused their speedy introduction into almost every country. 'Die certainty with which they were continually administered can be attested by many thousands. In fact, during the long conti nental war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infec tion was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The Hyge ian Herb Pills root out every particle of insidious poison, puri- • fying in their progress the whole mass Gf fluids. They not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the different functions of the body expelling the grosser humours, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to • convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers. The neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery—they require Oa restraint of diet, loss of time,. or hindrance of business, but effect a complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse to the Hygeian Herb Pills, for when taken before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly. The deplorable state in which many persons have been when visiting the proprietor, from the use of mercury, renders it im peratively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous mineral when injudiciously administered. These Pills should form a portion of all Medicine Chests, by sea and land, and ought never to be omitted by any person going a long voyage or journey, their properties are such that neither heat nor cold will injure their quality, or prevent the due effects on the constitution.

BRITISH GUIANA.—We have been favoured with copies of the Guiana Chronicle up to the 7th ult. From these papers we learn that the Governor, Sir James Carmi chael Smyth, Bart:, died on the 4th ult. The following is the account of this melancholy event given in the Guiana Chronicle of March sth : " Ere the eye of a single reader has rested on these lines, the mortal remains of our Governor and Ruler, Sir James Car michael Smyth, Bart. will have been gathered, amid the regret of sorrowing hundreds, to their kindred dust. Sir James de parted this life at Camp House yesterday afternoon, at 10 mi nutes past six o'clock, after a brief illness of but three days. "In recording this melancholy event, that Journal which has so often, from conscientious motives, opposed the late governor in his policy, not only now and for ever forgets all former points of difference, but also steps forward to bear a willing testimony to the many good qualities of the deceased. Let his epitaph, as we could inscribe it, bear record alone of his virtues and his good acts—be his failing (and who are free from fault ?) for gotten as the earth closes over his mortal career. " It cannot be denied that to our late Governor this colon• is indebted for vet y many highly beneficial measures. In the first place, whatever may have been, and indeed still are, the differ ences of opinion respecting his Excellency's policy on the eventful change i❑ this Colony in August 1834, it is at least certain that he succeeded'to an eminent degree in successfully carrying through this measure, with as little of popular com motion and human suffering as the most sanguine could have anticipated. That a course of great energy at that trying and critical time would have been more politic, is still our opinion, and, we think, would have been attended with even more satis factory results, than ensued from the measures his late Excel lency then deemed it adviseable to pursue; the result, however, if not as satisfactory as it was possible to have rendered it, was at least sufficiently so to claim fur his Excellency from this colony, as it has already elicited from the Imperial Government, a warm and lasting gratitude, shedding a halo over his memory, and gilding his name on his cenotaph as a benefactor of his kind. " Another favourable point in his late Excellency's public career in administering the government of this colony, shOuld not be forgotten at this moment. lie infused into the councils of his administration a degree of energy and a spirit of reform, which could alone have arisen from a strong mina and an able head like his own. He struck at corruption wherever he met with it with ❑ncompromising determination—he reformed our civil list in a spirit of rigid, but fair economy—and he abolished various sinecure offices which had hitherto existed but as sources of corrupt patronage. These acts of benefit did his late Excel lency perform to this colony,—and though we duly recorded them when they occurred, yet it is now, at this sad moment, a source of melancholy gratification to us again to dwell upon these good deeds of departed greatness. And truly with what a feeling of satisfaction may we not remember that the closing act of his public career was one of pure benevolence and chris tian charity, and that when last in the Council Chamber of his Government, he ordered relief to be granted to the widowed and the desolate—he gave shelter to the orphans, and poured the balm of charity upon the bruised spirit of the mourner. We need not further particularize the instance we above allude to, than refer to the report of the colonial legislative proceedings, where will be seen recorded the case of a poor widow, in arrears for taxes, to whom his late Excellency ordered relief out of the extraordinaries. It was a trait of benevolence in his late Ex cellency's character never to be forgotten. Party prejudice, or political bias might have led him into errors of judgment and of action, and for these the bent of education—the consequences of peculiar associations, or the chapter of accidents alone are liable, but here was an act of spxuttaneous benevolence entirely arising from a good heart and a charitable spirit. " lye.ve hitherto confined our imperfect remarks on the public' career of his late Excellency to that period of his life in which he governed here—and we need' scarce extend them further, as the annals of this country speak the rest :—they tell of a brave and sagacious soldier, who closed his active life of Military renown and honour on the same field that gave to Eu rope-freedom, and to despotism a grave—the Plains of Watet leo :—iu which engagement we believe his late Excellency was in command of the Engineers, a corps in which, if we are rightly informed, he originally entered the service. " We touch not the relations of private life save but to.cpm mend. The sorrows there felt for such a loss are too sacred to cause aught but the deepest sympathy and the sincerest com miseration. The veil that shrouds the now desolate hearth of the departed one is raised but for one moment tell the reader how blameless he was in private life, and therefore how fit an example for him to imitate. " Peace be to his manes—may his virtues and his greatness be recorded by abler pens than ours—no commendation, how evet, is so sincere as that which is willingly rendered to departed worth by one who never flattered it when living. " H is Excellency's remains were this afternoon accompanied to their tomb by almost every respectable inhabitant of the town and its neighbourhood. He was, of course, buried with military honours, as became a man who had lived and died a soldier, and the thunders of those guns the departed knew so well how to direct against the enemies of his country, peeled an appropriate requiem over his grave. Every house of business in town has been . this day closed. Respecting the successor of the worthy baronet we find the following in the Guiana Chronicle of March 7th : This forenoon, about half-past eleven o'clock, the Honoura ble the Court of Policy held an extraordinary meeting for the purrose of swearing in Major William Nesbitt Orange, of her Majesty's 67th regiment of foot, to the temporary governorship of that colony—he being the senior military officer in garrison here at the demise of his late Excellency Sir James Carmichael Smyth, Bart. The customary oaths were administered by the Chief Justice, with the usual solemnities, and amid the cus tomary military honours from the troops stationed outside. It is su► wised by many that Sir Stamford Whittingham, the commander of the forces on this station, will, on the receipt of the intelligence of the death of our late governor, hasten here to relieve Major Orange from his charge. Others again have stated that Colonel Bunbury, having been superseded in his temporary government of St. Lucia, by the return of the go vernor of that island, Sir Dudley Hill, is speedily to be expected here to assume the reigns of government. These are points of mere conjecture, and are of comparative trifling consequence, as during the period from the present time till the appointment of a governor from home, it is not probable that many acts of importance will be passed by our local legislature, it being the custom, ou such occasions, to confine the public business to mere matters of routine and of imperative necessity. Immediately after the performance of the ceremony above described, the following publication was issued, to inform the community generally of what had been done : PUBLICATION By His Excellency Major William Nesbitt Orange, Command ing Her Majesty's Troops, Acting Governor; and the Ho- nourable the Court of Policy of British Guiana. Unto all to whom these presents may or shall concern, Greeting ! be it known : Whereas, by the lamented death of His Excellency the late Major-General Sir James Carmichael Smyth, Baronet, the Administration of the Government of British Guiana hath de volved upon Major William Nesbitt Orange, of the 67th Regt. of loot; who did this day take the usual Oaths of Office; we have thought fit to issue this our Publication, in order that the said event may be promulgated for general information. Thus done at our Extraordinary Assembly, held at the Hall of the Honourable the Court or Policy, at Guiana Public Buildings, this 7th day of March, 1838, and published the same day. By Command of the Court, U. E. F. YOUNG, Secretary. The following extract records the death, by accident, of two most estimable young gentlemen : (From the Guiana Chronicle, March 7th.) One of those melancholy and appalling accidents which ever and anon take place, reminding us of the insecure tenure of our mortal existence, occurred last evening. The Hampton Court Schooner, iu coming up to town, was upset by a sudden squall when nearly opposite the red buoy, at about 9 o'clock last evening, whereby the lives of two highly respectable members of this community were lost—Joseph Wilson and J. G. Brand, Esqrs., thus met with violent and untimely deaths. It is stated that the squall struck the vessel su suddenly, that she went down bows foremost and almost instantaneously, all hands being on deck except a little boy, who also perished. The unfortunate gentlemen clung on to the vessel till 1 o'clock this morning, iu vain and desperate efforts to save those lives which it had been mysteriously willed by the Divine Power should'then and for ever close. Amid a large circle of relatives and friends, the deaths of Messrs. Wilson and Brand will cause deep and deserved regrets; while society in general has to deplore the loss of two young gentlemen of unimpeachable character, moral rectitude, and industrious habits, so suddenly and so awfully taken fro►n among its ranks, where their blameless and honourable career afforded fitting examples for others to imitate. THE CORONATION.-It appears that the superlatively shabby set, who now constitute what is called " the mi nistry," have determined upon celebrating the corona tion of Queen Victoria without any of the accustomed splendour. Whatever objection might exist to a young lady in private life assuming the presidency over a public dinner, we are sure that such an objection can never hold good in the case of so distinguished a personage as the Queen of these realms. Indeed, the circumstance of her Majesty's having dined at the splendid banquet given by the Lord Mayor of London, at Guildhall, af fordi a strong presumptive proof that she, at least, has had nothing to do with the arrangements prescribed for the approaching coronation. The whole business smacks strongly of the characteristic meanness of the Whig- Radical Ministry. A contemporary, the Sussex Express, in reference to this subject, observes,— " Her Majesty dined with the Lord Mayor in Guildhall which she reached in public procession, and her matchless grace and unruffled composure of manner o❑ that day was the theme of universal admiration ; why should she not then dine in the noblest hall in Europe, in be: own Palace, where so many of her royal progenitors, Kings, aye and Queens too, have banquetted before her, in the sight of their happy sub jects and in company with all that is most noble, and most venerable, and most chivalrous in the laud? Alas, because of spinning jennies that land mourneth, the age of chivalry is gone, and we are tauntingly asked of what use is the repetition of the childish display of a crested champion throwing down a gauntlet .on the pavement in defiance of imaginary foes ? In an utilitarian point of view no doubt a steam gun under the guidance of not more skill than directs the passage of a train along a rail-road would afford ampler protection to Queen Victoria and deal wider 'destruction among her enemies, than Bayard and his steel clad charger ; but are all old associations to be broken, all time honoured institutions to be despised, is life—royal life, to be divested of all its pomp and garniture, to be stripped rudely bare, to be weighed in the scales or guaged by the rule of a cold economy ? Forbid it, gallant men, forbid it, cavaliers."— - It may, perhaps, occur to some of our readers that, there must be a stronger motive than that arising from considerations of mere economy to urge our present mi nisters to denude the coronation of its wonted splendour. There is, undoubtedly. We are told that after the co ronation it is the intention of Lord Melbourne and his associates to have a " royal progress" through her Ma jesty's dominions, with a view of courting that popula rity which they are conscious of having forfeited. The money spared in the ceremony of the coronation is to be laid out for this selfish purpose. But we tell Lord Mel bourne that it will not answer his ends. THE NEW PEERS.—We learn from the London papers that in the batch of projected coronation peerages the following will be included:— Peers to be raised to dukedoms. Marquis of Lansdowne, Marquis of Westminster, Marquis of In addition to these, several promotions will take place in the present peerage. Commons to be raised to the peerage. Sir John Wrottesley, Sir Jacob Astley, Sir John Hobhouse, Mr. Paul Methuen, Mr. Hanbury _Tracy, • Mr. Spring Rice, Sir F. Lawley, Sir C. Lemon, And about eight others. We only find three members of the House of Commons enumerated in this list, viz., Mr. Spring Rice, Sir John Hobhouse, and Sir Chat les Lemon. How many of the remaining eight are members, we, of course, cannot pre tend to say. But whatever vacancies may take place among the representatives of the people, we have ho doubt that the conservat►ves of the several ,constituencies will hold themselves iu readiness to use their best exer tions to provide successors of constitutional principles. Five or six vacancies in England may seal the fate of the ministry. It is said that the whole number of : British and Irish creations which are expected to take place will be about twenty six. These will be exclusive of proMetions from one rank to another within the peerage. Of course, all the Irish peerages are to be placed at the disposal of Daniel O'Connell. We learn that one Irish dukedom is to be created in favour of the Marquis of Sligo. How will " Ireland's solitary Duke," his Grace of * Leinster , like this promotion ? The daughter of the Earl of Liverpool is to be created a peeress in her own right. Manage matters as lie will, we feel confident that Lord Melbourne will lose by the approaching creations. The honours'he has to confer are not adequate to tile demands of his expectant adherents. THE " GRAB ALL" MlNlSTRY.—Evidence of the grasping and monopolising character of Lord Melbourne and his associates multiplies upon us in all directions. Nothing, in fact, is safe from their clutches. It is all one to them whether the revenues of the church or - any other tangible property be concerned. To please their needy followers they will lay violent hands upon any thing and every thing that comes within their reach:' We have been led to these remarks by a circumstance which has recently transpired. It appears that the Whig-Radical ministry have laid claim " to all the un inclosed lands in the Principality of Wales." A meet ing of the Welsh members of Parliament and others in terested in resisting this measure was lately held in Lon don. Respecting the object of this meeting we find the following judicious remarks in the Chester Gazette ;-- " The meeting was attended by numbers of the first noble men and gentry connected with the Principality, and the spirit and temper in which the business was conducted-the profound legal knowledge displayed by , some of the speakers in reference to the question in hand—and the firmly -expressed determination of all to make a stand against the merciless demands of the government—portends every thing that could be wished as to the ultimate success of their good cause. The busy functionaries of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, it appears, are not content with merely laying claim to lands which anciently be longed to the Crown, but are actually makin g a genera l cr ab at almost all the common lands in the Principality, though it is evident, from the opinions given by the highest legal.authori ties, that the Crown had no feudal rights in parts of Wales, and that there is not in the Principality any property which cannot be explained without having recourse to the feudal laws. In the very face of these facts, however, what is the vexatious course pursued by the agents of the Crown ? Why, they have not only laid claim to all uninclosed lands; but haVe asserted their determination to appoint gamekeepers, to lease minerals, and to exercise all other manorial rights. Though these evils, so far as we have noticed, are great, as it respects the trespasses that are designed to be carried into effect, in rending from the rich lands which for centuries have been in their or their eines tors' possession, yet the blow will he far more tremendous as it regards the poor; for, as the lion. chaii man of the meeting just ly said, alluding to what had taken place, "rhe vexatious and ruinous treatment that had been inflicted by the agents of the Crown upon a number of poor industrious cottagets, who, after many years' laborious cultivation and uninterrupted enjoyment, had either been expelled from their homes, or forced, through expensive litigation, to purchase at exorbitant rates what they or their predecessors had saved from extreme barrenness by the sweat of their brow at, times which their health and strength re-, quired for relaxation. Another subject of complaint was the distressing and unjust wanner in which the Crown rents had been demanded and exacted. In many cases, after a series of years had been permitted to go by without inquiry, the age nts made a demand in the aggregate for the entire period. This course involved a double calamity, for the amount, besides tie ing overwhelming, was frequently demanded from an occupier who had recently come into possession in the well-founded hope of proceeding in the same unmolested career of his predecessors.' This picture of the misery inflicted upon the hard-striving poor by men drest iu a little brief authority,' is enough to harrow up the soul of every feeling individual; and we trust it Wilt have its due effect in arousing every person possessing the least influence, from lethargy, and engaging him, heart awl hand, in this common cause—the cause of justice to all who hold com mon lands and other property,. which is now so unjustly at tempted to be wrested from them. The first men connected with the Principality are doing their duty with noble disiuter estedness,—iet the whole population follow their example, en d then the nefarious attempts to deprive them of their rights will be defeated." We sincerely trust that this iniquitous and oppressive measure will be successfully resisted, and that the poor cottagers in the wilds of Cambria may yet have no oc casion to know by experience the tyranny of a Whig.. Radical administration. THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.-It is scarcely necessary to remind our readers that, after the most praiseworthy exertions in building additional places of worship, the clergy of the Church of Scotland had recourse to the expedient of applying to the government for a small en dowment, by which they might be able permanently to support the ministers appointed to such churches, and thereby provide suitable accommodation for those whose circumstances did not permit them to pay for sittings. As the towns were chiefly in want of such extraneous aid, the attention of the clergy was principally directed to the necessity of making some efficient provision for the spiri tual wants of the more populous districts. In apparent compliance with the expressed wishes of the clergy, Lord Melbourne issued a commission—the usual resource or our present temporising ministry—for the purpose of in stituting the necessary inquiries into the claims made on behalf of the Scottish population. Of course, the real motive for appointing the commissioners was, to meet the craving demands of certain hungry hangers-on of the Whig-Radical ministry, to whom such a job as the Scottish Church Commission might afford the means of temporary subsistence. These commissioners, after spending nearly as much money in fruitless inquiries- - inquiries having relation to other objects than those • urged upon the attention of government by the Scottish • clergy—drew up a scut of report, in which they recom mended that some sort of assistance should be extended • to the Highlands, in aid of church extension, but that none whatever should be given to the populous towns, in Which the spiritual destitution was greatest. The rea son which determined the Whig-Radical commissioners, • acting in obedience to instructions from head quarters, to close their labours with such an extraordinary recom mendation may be readily conceived. in the Highlands there are few Dissenters, whereas, in the large towns they constitute a considerable proportion of the popula tion. Now, it is scarcely necessary for us to remind our readers that the Dissenters have, both in Scotland as. well as in England, rendered themselves conspicuous by their active interference as political partizans of the pre sent government. It would have been, therefore, obvi" ously impolitic on the part of the ministry and their sub servient creatures, the commissioners, to give any cause - - • of offence to their dissenting allies. In order to avoid 5 G disagreeable an alternative it was deemed best to o.o t overboard the interests of the Scottish Church, involvf ing as those interests do the spiritual benefit of the poof 4r classes throughout Scotland. We are by no MeaDs...sur -, - prised to find our present ministers thus acting. Tb ei f conduct in reference to the Church of England, mad tnOr• e • - particularly with regard to the Church of Ireland, been characterised by the same deference to the 40 40 ' of the political Dissenters of the day, and the-sarae,in'' . difference, or, rather, hostility to the interests attic. tablished Church. We are glad, however, that the clergy of the Cbt" a6. of Scotland have been, at length, convinced, of the , utte r hopelessness of expecting any assistance from Lola Ale l i bourne, and that th e y h ave come tc. M e resolution of making a general appeal to the sympathy of the public. With this view we understand that a deputation, con-. sisting of the Rev. Dr. Alton, of Dolphinton, the Re s '' Dr. Anderson, of Newburgh, the Rev. Dr. Murray, o f Abbotshall, and the Rev. Mr. Christison, of Bigg ar ' have arrived in Liverpool, for the purpose of advocating the General Assembly's church extension scheme, and of obtaining subscriptions in aid of that object. `re believe that it is in contemplation to visit most of the large towns in England with the same view, and that public meeting will be held in this town on the return of the deputation from London, whither they proceed to promote the objects of their mission. We need not enlarge on the fact that great spiritual destitution exists in various part s. o f Scotland, In t"
