6 SECOND EDI'T'ION. Standard-office, 'lwo o'clock. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. Tuts DAY. Upon a change of wild since Frilly, the arrivals for this d'ay's maiket, contain a moderate quantity of Oats, Malt, and Flour, Coastwise and from Ireland, but of other produce from those directions the present supplies are extremely light : whilst from abroad we have to note a fair import of Wheat, with several parcels of Barley and Ind'an Corn, iicludiog, what is very unusual, a little Wheat. and Flour from Pert Adelaide, Australia. After a further copious ruin during Saturday night and Sunday rnoroing, the season at length assumes all the ap pearance of fine growing i.eather ; which, although ac counts from some distant counties eastward still complain of the Wheat crop, the decline in London yesterday has effectually checked any lively proceedings at our Corn Exchange this morning. In Wheat of every description transactions have been very limited, and Irish has receded ld. to 2d. per 701 b.; but in the value of English or free Foreign we have no decided change to note. Fur Flour there was some disposition to purchase, but the buyers offering rather lower than the sellers were willing to accept, nothing extensive was done, and we may therefore quote prices the turn lower. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease were in slow request, on the terms of last week. Oats met some little inquiry, but hardly maintainedour last quotations. Oatmeal was in moderate request, at a small decline in value. ARRIVALS OF CORN. • From the 28th May to the 2nd June, inclusive IRE- COAST- , COLO- TO- I TOTAL. LAND. WISE. j aIAL. REIGN. I . Wheat ..

THE MAYNOOTH QUESTION PLAINLY STATED.—This people is called upon, by their representatives, to pay so much money a year, to pay so many men to teach lies to so many young citizens, that they, after a certain number of years learning how they are best to effect this, may go forth, in the name of the government and people of Eng land, and teach lies to eLht millions of our brethren. Now, that is just the long and short of the matter. If you talk till doomsday, von will make no more of it as to the fact; nor can the wit or sop , iistry of man, or the in genuity or malice of the devil, even if it were his policy to do so—which it is not, (Rev. xii. 10 )—make less of it.—Pamphlet. INTERESTING TO PICTURE BUYERS.—As long as a worthy merchant of Liverpool or calico-printer of Man chester can persuade hiu.self that his walls are hung with canvas that can be at any time exchanged for gold—and a time for making the exchange never comes—the copies are, perhaps, just as good as wontd be the originals; but. let him bequeath his " valuable" acquisitions to his heirs, and the £20,000 of " property" may bring as many pence. We not long ago attended et the sale of a small collec tion; it had, to our knowledge, cost the collector £5,000. It brought. clear of the auctioneer's charges and the duty, just £125 103. Cases of the kind might be multiplied so as to fill columns of our journal.—Art. Union. A MODERN RAILWAY PROSPFCTUS.—It was beaded, " Prospectus of the Grand Union Biggleswade, Puddock_ field, and Pedlineton Railway, in 50,001) shares of £2O each. Deposit £1 on each share." If the line bad run through the garden of Eden, supposing that place to have furnished a large passenger traffic besides agricultural pro duce, with London at one terminus and Pekin at the other, the description could not have been more flattering than that which I perused. Nature seemed to have la vished all her blessings upon Biggleswade, Puddockfield, and the country thereunto adjacent; in short, I never re collect so flattering a picture, with one solitary exception drawn by my friend Frizzle, who had stuck twenty pounds into some railway in a mineral district. " When we re collect," said Bob, in a burst of poetical frenzy, " the enormous population of the district, the sottness and ge niality of the climate, and the fairy aspect of its scenery —when we think of the varied traffic which now chokes up the ordinary avenues of industry—when we estimate the inexhaustible beds of ore and mineral•, absolutely heaving themselves from the ground, as though to entreat the aid of man in adapting them to their proper destina; tion ;—when we consider all these things, I say, and finally combine them together, fancy closes her astonished eyes, and even imagination swoons?" I will not say that the writer of the Biggleswade prospectus was as soaring a genius as Bob ; but he was quite enough of a Claude to seduce the investigating public. I forgot what amount of return he promised, but it was something hitherto unheard of, and my mouth watered as I read. " That's the spec !" said my uncle Dodger. " Sit down and write me an order for your thousand." " Every sixpence. There—that will do," and Mr. Dodger disappeared with the cheque.— Blackwood. PROTESTANT CONVERSION AND THE MAYNOOTH ENDOWMENT.—It is now, we think, clearly established, that a strong disposition exists in various parts of this country, amongst the Roman Catholic population, to leave the Church of Rome. Upon this subject, two views.pre sent themselves. Either tt - e Romish priests are to be en couraged and strengthened in resisting this tendency of their own people to break from the spiritual bondage in which they have been sn long bound ; or the missionaries are to be aided arid protected in the work of conversion. The first is the view which would seem to be taken by Sir Robert Peel and the present ministers. They propose a large augmentation of the grants for extending and esta blishing the Romish superstition. They call upon Eng land to furnish the funds by which a religion, pronounced by the legislalature to be idolatrous, may be maintained and extended, at a time when, if left to its own resources, it must speedily vanish from the land. The second is the view taken by the religious community in general, and the Irish society in particular, by whose instrumentality so much good has been already effected, and who may be said to be the precursors of those moral and religious movements which are so cheering to the heart of the scrip tural Christian. Can the man who is really acquainted with the actual position of popery in this country, describe the Maynooth project of ministers as anything better than an attempt to crutch up a tottering superstition against the causes which are operating its rapid decay, in order that the difficulties m .y be augmented which have been found so seriously to militate against the spiritual eman cipation of the people? Ireland is ripe for conversion. This the Romish clergy well know. This is no age in which a mass performed in an unknown tongue can be re garded by any class of people as a reasonabl- service. The qu=stion, then, is, shall government lend its aid to an un scriptural priesthood, by largely endowing them at the public experse, at a time when a spirit of inquiry is per vading the masses over whom they preside, and dissipat ing the delusion upon which their authority is founded ? Never, never was there a more unfounded hypothesis than that their domination is destined to endure. We cannot cast our eyes upon any part of the country, without seeing unequivocal symptoms that there are multitudes within the bosom of their church to whom their spiritual tyranny is distasteful ; and it iv against those multitudes their hands will be strengthened by anti project, such as that of Sir Robert Peel, by which their temporal circumstances may be improved. And what do we require ? Simply that government should s t an d per f ectly neutral between the parties who are at pres ent conten di ng for and against the papal pretensions. Is this too much to be expected? Is it too much to expect that Ro m i s h pr i ests should be confined, in their contests with a P rotestant m i nister, to what are legitimate instruments of controversy, and not be permitted to wield those terrors by which physical vio lence is substituted for moral conviction ? And is the de mand utterly unreasonable on the part of the poor perse cuted converts from popery, that they may be taken under the protection of the law? But, above all things, again and again, we implore the people of E ng l an d to distin guish between popery as a sect, and popery as a party in Ireland ; and to be well convinced, that the pa r t y never will be propitiated by any concession made to the sect, while the sect may be continued by concessions made to the party; and that the effect of the Maynooth endow ment b,ll, and all other similar measures, by which a fac tion is sought to be conciliated at the expense of the Pro testant interest in Ireland, will be to convert agitation from an annual into a perennittl plant, and to make the system of discord, which at present depends upon the ac cidents of character and circumstances, as universal as na tionality, and as permanent and unchangeable as social institutions. —Dublin University Magazine. SCRIPTURE READERS ASSOCIATION. A meeting of the friends of this association, which was established about twelve months ago, for providing scrip ture readers in connexio n w ith the Church of England, was held on Monday. Amongst the ladies present were Lady Frances Egerton, Lady Georgiana Bathurst, and Lady Charlotte Greville. Amongst the gentlemen were the following—The Bishop cf Winchester, the Marquis of Westminster, NlarquisCholmondely, Lord Robert Gros venor, Lord Badstock, the Earl of Effingham, Lord Ashley, M.P., Lord Sandon, M.P., the hon. W.F. Cow per, M.P., Rev. H. Montagu Villiers, the her. Richard Burgess, the Rev. W. W. Ellis, the Venerable Archdea con Sinclair (Middlesex), the Venerable Archdeacon Dealtry (Surrey), and the Dean of Salisbury. The Bishop of London, after noticing the spiritual des titution of the metropolis, remarked on the plan and ob jects of the society in the following terms. It had been considered by many laymen that the Church would be wholly inadequate to answer all the demands made upon it; and that something might therefore be done through the instrumentality of laymen employed as scripture readers, to bring a portion of that great multitude from the darkness of spiritual destitution within the precepts and divine illumination of God's holy Church. He knew that that plan had been, and still was, objected to, on the ground that it encouraged laymen to take upon them selves duties that properly belonged to the ministerial func tion of the ordained clergymen. He did not mean to say that there was not weight in the objection. Indeed he at one time felt its weight so strongly as to hesitate giving his sanction to the plan. But when, as the chief pastor of the diocese, he looked around him and beheld a great moral wilderness, without tit^ power of sending duly com missioned labourers to cultivate it, he did think he should no longer withhold his sanction from a plan, which, al though it might be beyond the letter of the Church's rules, was yet so hedged in by wise and salutary regula tions, that it did not, as far as be could observe. trench in the least degree upon the fundamental principles of the Church. The question in his opinion amounted to this—were they to suffer thousands and tens of thou sands to die in an unilluminated and unholy state be cause they had not at their command a sufficient number of regularly educated clergymen to send amongst and dis tribute to them the blessings of spiritual instruction I He quite admitted that if they could send out a sufficient number of regularly commissioned instructors, they would be doing better than at present; but without entering into details to show, he would content himself by saying that that was impossible. They must therefore have rec atrse to other instruments. Of the regulations of that society he wished to observe, that scripture readers could not intrude themselves into any parish without the consent he might almost say unless at the request, of the clergy man of the parish. No one was sent for to undertake the work of scripture reading who had not been previ ously examined by a person appointed by the Bishop of the diocese, and who should report to him the qualifica tions of the candidate. Neither was it in the power of a scripture reader to remain long in the parish to which he was sent, than the satisfactory discharge of his duties warranted or rendered advisable. Under these and other restrictions be did feel that it would be for the interest of Christ's Church, and that it would add to the useful ness of the clergy to sanction and aive his cordial assist ance to the object of the association as far as the metro polis was concerned—presenting as it did a vast spiritual wilderness over which was spread a multitude of lost sheep, whom it was their duty to endeavour by every means to bring into the fold and under the care of the proper shepherds, who might lead them to God's word, and induce them to become worthy partakers of the sa crament. He, and the clergy over who m h e was p l ace d , felt a deep debt of gratitude to those laymen of whom the committee was composed for having so readily adopted the regulations they had suggested, and thus obviated some of the objections which a portion of the clergy enter tained to the plan of association. At present he was happy to say that experience was all upon their side. He had it in evidence from those of his own clergymen who had availed themselves of the assistance of some of the 33 gentlemen who had been sent forth by the society as auxiliaries to the regular instructors of the people, that so far from having reason to regret Tile establishment of the society, they had cause to be thankful to God for put ting it into the hearts of his servants to tender them as sistance, which had been of great value to them in the discharge of duties which it would have been far beyond their power to discharge had not the way been prepared for them by their lay fellow-labourers. He had also learned from a valued friend of his who was now at the head of a diocese which had been under his cure for some years, that great advantage had already been derived from the association in various manufacturing towns in Lanca shire and Cheshire. In conclusion, the Right Rev. Pre late expressed an anxious wish for the prosperity of the association, whose efforts he sincerely hoped would be crowned with success ; while he as ardently hoped to see the objections to it, which still existed in the minds of many pious and zealous members of the Church, give way, one by one, to the most satisfactory of all argu ments—viz., continued and increasing success in the operations of the system. The following are the " reader's" duties. " The reader is placed solely under the control of the clergyman of the district, whose directions he is implicitly to obey; the only stipulation of the committee being that he is not to be employed less than six hours a-day in visit ing and reading the scriptures from house to house within the district to which he is assigned. " The readers are furnished by the committee with journals, in which to record all their proceedings, and with report papers, which they are directed to transmit to the clergy every week, and which are framed to show, in a tabular form, the character and results of each day's and week's proceedings. They have also to report to the clergy the cases - of any sick persons requiring to be visited ; of any individuals needing spiritual advice and consola tion ; and as they are looked upon as useful pioneers of a District Visiting Society, they are also enjoined to re port, for the information of the district visiters, any cases which may come to their knowledge of temporal relief required by the poor." THE AMERICAN ICE TRADE. (From the London Mercantile Gazette.) In America, where the extreme cold of the winter fur nishes the ice in great abundance and perfection, and the excessive heat of summer renders the necessity for its use proportionately great, the trade in it has acquired an im portance which, not long since, would have seemed im possible. In different districts of the country, large and pure lakes have almost the value which here attaches to mines ; and companies with large capital are formed, who purchase them as one might purchase a coal-mine, to rob them periodically of their crystal treasures, for the sum mer supply of the public. One of the lakes which has been purchased for this object, is situated so near the sea board, that its proprietors have, within the last few years, hit upon the novel plan of making the product of their lake an article of export, for the supply of those regions where the heat of a tropical summer makes its cooling pro perties not only acceptable and refreshing, but highly sa lubrious. Thousands of tons of this arctic crystal are now annually shipped from Boston (United States) to our East Indies, to the West Indian Archipelago, and to the continent of South America. Not content with these ex tended fields of consumption, the indomitable persever ance of these Yankee trespassers on the dominions of King Frost, has induced them to throw their merchandise into the English market; and after one or two indivi dual, and but partially successful attempts to introduce it here of late years, " The Wenham Lake Ice Company " have taken up the matter in earnest—erected extensive ice-houses here and at Liverpool, and arranged for the transportation to this country of thousands of tons of ice. One surprising circumstance connected with the trade is the fact that their ice, though transported to this coun try in the heat of summer, is not reduced in bulk. Those engaged in the trade we find, account for this by the fact that the masses of ice are so large, that they expose a very small surface to the atmospheric action in proportion to their weight, and therefore do not suffer from their expo sure to it, as the smaller and thinner fragments do, which are obtained in our own or other warmer climates. It appears, also, that ice frozen upon very deep water, is more hard and solid than ice of the same thickness ob tained from shallow water; and even when an equal sur face is exposed, melts more slowly. The Wenharo Lake occupies a very elevated position, arid lies embosomed in hills of majestic height and bold rugged character. The lake has no inlet whatever ; but is fed solely by the springs which issue from the rocks at its bottom, a depth of 200 feet from its surface. This vast depth readily explains the great solidity of the ice formed upon the lake. The ice-house is built of wood, with double walls all around; the space between which is filled with sawdust ; thus interposing a medium, that is a non-conductor of beat, between the ice and the external air; the conse quence of which is, that the ice is entirely unaffected by any condition or temperature of the external atmosphere ; and can be preserved without waste for an indefinite time. The machinery employed for cutting the ice is very curious, and is worked by men and horses in the follow - - ing manner :—From the time when the ice first forms, it is carefully keet free from snow until it is thick enough to be cut ; that process commences when the ice is a foot thick. A surface of some two acres is tben selected, which at that thickness will furnish about 2000 tons ; and a straight line is then drawn through its centre from side to side each way. A small hand-plough is pushed along one of these lines, until the groove is about three inches deep, and a quarter of an i nc h i n width, when the " Marker " is introduced. This implement is drawn by two horses, and makes two new grooves parallell with the first, 21 inches apart, the guage remaining in the original groove. The marker is then shifted to the outside groove, rnd makes two more. Having drawn these lines over the whole surface in one direction, the s ame process is re peated in a transverse direction, marking a ll th e i ce out into squares of 21 inches. In the meantime the " plough" drawn by a single horse, is following in these grooves, cutting the ice to a depth of six inches. One entire range of blocks is then sawn out, and the remainder are split off toward the opening thus made with an iron bar. This bar is shaped like a spade and of a wedge-like firm. When it is dropped i n t o th e groove, the block splits off; a very slight blow being sufficient to produce that effect, especially in very co ld weat h er. The labour of " splitting . is light or otherwise, accord ing to the temperature of the atmosphere. " Platforms," or low tables of frame-work, are placed near the op en i ng made in the ice, with iron sides extending into the water, and a man stands on each side of this slide, armed with an ice-book. With this hook the ice is caught and by a sudden jerk thrown up the " slide" on to the "platform." In a cold day everything is speedily covered with ice by the freezing of the water on the platforms, slides, &c , and the ecormous blocks of ice, weighing some of them more than two cwt., are burled along these slippery sur faces, as if they were without weight. Forty men and twelve horses will cut and stow away 400 tons a day ! in favourable weather 100 men are some times employed at once. When a thaw or a fall of rain occurs, it entirely unfits the ice for market, by rendering it opaque and porous, and occasionally snow is immedi ately followed by rain, and that again by frost, forming snow-ice, which is valueless, and must be removed by the "plane." The operation of planing is similar to that of cutting. _ . In addition to filling their ice-houses at the lake and in the large towns, the company fill a large number of private ice-houses during the winter—all the ice for these pur poses being transported by railway. It will easily be be lieved, that the expense of providing tools, buildieg houses, furnishing labour, and constructing and keeping up the railway, is very great; but the traffic is so exten sive, and the management of the trade so good, that the ice can be furnished, even in England, at a very trifling cost. People in this country, have, however, yet to learn the various uses to which ice may be applied, as well as the best methods of preserving it. In America every family has a " Refrigerator," or portable ice-house. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. CLEARANCE IN ROSS-SHIRE. The clearances which thirty years ago were effected in Sutherlandshire are about to he revived in Ross-shire. Then, however, they were silently carried ; now the Times has its "own Correspondent" to supervise the operation, and to tell the public what they really are. The parish of Kincardine is the scene of the present clearance. "It is," says the Times' reporter, " divided into two districts, each of great extent; one is called the parliamentary district of Croick. The length of this district is about twenty miles, with a breadth of from ten to fifteen miles. It extends amongst the most remote and unfrequented parts of the country, consisting chiefly of hills of heather and rock, peopled only in a few straths and glens. This district was formerly thickly peopled ; but one of these clearances.' many years ago, nearly swept away the population, and now the whole number of its inhabitants amounts to only 370 souls. These are divided into three straths or glens, and live in a strath called Amatnatua, another strath called Greenyard, and in Glen Calvie. It is the inhabitants of Glen Calvie, in number ninety people, whose turn it is now to be driven out of their homes, all at once—the aged and the helpless as well as the young and strong; nearly the whole of them without a hope or a prospect for the future. The pro prietor of this glen is Major Charles Robertson, of Kin deace, who is at present out with his regiment in Austra lia ; and his factor, or steward, who acts for him in his absence, is Mr. James Gillanders." The land of Glen Calvie is wretched, and thoegh not more than fifteen or twenty acres, yields the incredible rent of £55 10s. ; eighteen families have a cottage in it, and they have punctually paid their rents. On Mr. Gillanders assuming the management of the property he determined to convert it into a sheep-walk. In spite of their offers to pay a higher rent than any one else these poor people were to be " weeded out" on the 25th ; and only three are to be provided for elsewhere. The rest are hopeless and helpless. "Two or three of the men told me they had been round to every factor and proprietor in the neighbourhood, and they could obtain no place and nothing to do, and they did not know where to go, or what to do to lite." " And for what," asks " our own Correspondent," " are all these people to be reduced from comfort to beggary ? For what is this virtuous and con tented community to be scattered and driven into destitu tion ? I confess I can find no answer. It is said, that the factors would rather have one tenant than many, as it saves them trouble. But so long as the rent is punctually paid, as this has been, it is contrary to all experience to suppose that one large tenant will pay more rent than many small ones, or that a sheep-walk can pay more rent than cultivated land. Now, no doubt there is an object in driving off the people—namely, fear of the New Scotch Poor-law compelling the heritors to pay towards the sup port of those who cannot support themselves. How they have hitherto performed this obli g ation, and why they should be afraid of the New Scot c h Poor-law, must form the subject of another letter. In the meantime, let me add, that so far from the clearance' at Glen Calvie being a solitary instance in this neighbourhood, it is one of many. The tenants of Newmore, near Tain, who, lam told, amount to sixteen families, are to be weeded' out, as they express it here, on the 25th, by the same Mr. Gillanders. The same factor manages the Strathconnan estate, about thirty miles from Newmore, from which, during the last four years, some hundreds of families have been ' weeded.' The government church of that district, built eighteen years ago to meet the necessities of the population, is now almost unnecessary, from the want of population. At Blackisle, near Dingwall, the same agent is pursuing the same course ; and so strong is the feeling of the poor H ighlanders at these outrageous proceedings, so far as they are concerned wholly unwarranted from any cause whatever, that I am informed on the best authority, and by those who go amongst them and hear what they say, that it is owing to the influence of religion alone that they refrain from breaking out into open and turbulent resistance of the law." .E BRITISH ARMY, JUNE, 1841.

The mare, we understand, w as so ld on Thursday to his lordship, but on a hint that she might possibly be above the proper age, her mouth was ex amined, and found to be a very suspicious one ; his lord ship, therefore, not only refused to ratify the purchase, but immediately objected to her starting.

England. a horse e n te r ed f or th e D er b y, a b out the con duct of Mr. Hargreaves, who, whilst the current betting against the horse was 20 to 1, had been betting largely at 25 and 30 to 1, and on Friday and Saturday had laid £12,000 to £lOO against him. Mr. Gully inferred that some foul play against the horse was intended, and en tered into statements, to the effect that William Day, a you'h, son of Mr. John Day, the trainer, had been tam pered with by Mr. Bloodsworth and Mr. Stebbing, and induced to lay £35,000 to £l,OOO against the horse. Mr. Hargreaves admitted that he had betted largely, but con tended that he did so from his own knowledge of the merits of the horse, and a conviction that he could not win, denying that he had had any communication what ever with Day, or any of the family, and that he had any connexion whatever with Bloodsworth or Stebbing. At the call of Mr. Gully, he staked the amount of his bets against the horse, and offered then to lay £2,500 to £lOO Against Old England, which was immediately taken by Mr. Gully, and booked to Mr. Haggarty, of Manchester. The matter was to be laid formally before the stewards. ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—As the season progresses, and the weather becomes milder, the spectators at the galas at these gracefully-laid -out gardens continue to in crease. Indeed the persons who have availed themselves of the numerous pleasures afforded have been numerically greater up to this time than in any previous season—a circumstance that argues much for the appreciation of the labours of the various artistes of the establishment. The eruption of Mount Heels gives universal satisfaction. The addition of several aquatic displays of the pyrotech nic art, and the more rapid succession of firing than on the opening nights, greatly heightens the effect. There is no month in the year in which the gardens look better than in June. LIVERPOOL A TYPE OF THE METROPOLIS has been the spirit-moving title of a talented article that has re cently appeared in the metropolitan press on the magni ficent extension of business premises in Liverpool, and we are fully satisfied that every day tends to establish more fully our claim to be the second town in the universe. Among other proofs is the immense extension of:the premises of Mr. Keys, mache warerooms, Bold-street. Papier mache which has been held in the highest estima for the last fifteen years in London—to which city its manufacture was solely confined—was a few years since introduced into th e nort h ern counties by the establish ment of an agency in Liverpool, but so rapid has been its adopti on , an d so great the satisfaction it has given, that it was found necessary to establish a manufactory here, and to give full scope for the display of the orna ments produced a splendid room for displaying framed engravings, fire-screens. &c., has been constructed be hind the present shop. It is lighted from the roof, and papered in rich crimson, a colour that contrasted well with various richly gilt and grand front pier-glasses, and screen frames, with which it is decorated. We Cannot TO MR. PROUT, 229, STRAND, LONDON. Doncaster, September 26th, 1844. SlR,—The following particulars have been handed to us with a request that they might be forwarded to you, with permission for their publication, if you should deem them worthy of such. J. BROOKE and Co., Doncaster. " ELIZABETH BREARLEY, residing in Duke-street, Doncaster, aged between forty and fifty, was severely afflicted with Rheumatism, and confined to her bed for a period of nearly two months, with scarcely the power to lift her arm ; she was signally benefitted after taking two doses of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, and after finishing two boxes was quite recovered." The above recent testimonial is a further proof of the great efficacy of this valuable medicine, which is the most effective remedy for Gout, Rheumatism, Sciatica, Lum bago, Tic Doloreux, Pains in the Head and Face often mistaken for tooth-ache, and for all Gouty and Rheumatic Tendencies.

Until the invention of Milners' Fire-resisting Safety. Boxes, the mercantile community, professional persons, &c., had no means of perfect safety for their books and papers from the casualty of fire. The invention was tested in the Cattle-Market, in this city, on Monday last, by permission of the Mayor, in the presence of H. Ricketts, Esq., J. Breillett, Esq., Engineer to the Bristol Gas Co. ; Lieut. Fisher, and a considerable numoer of scien tific and other influential gentlemen. The fires were made from 40 cwt. of coals and wood with several loads of shavings and faggots. At a quarter past eleven, they were lighted, and in the midst were placed two safes, first, Milners' No. 1, new patent, and with it a common iron safe of equal dimensions, purchased for the express purpose of showing their comparative qualities. Both were filled with papers, books, &c., and locked down by Geo. Wright, Esq. After being buried in the burning mass for 3. 1 ,- hours they were taken out and opened ; the Patent Safe presenting all within unsinged ; the Iron Safe a mass of Blackened tinder; thus evidently proving that the common " safe " presents no security in cases of fire. In the second fire, at the same time, was placed a round magazine, with 111 double chamber, in which were in closed a gold watch belonging to Mr. Wendon (the active and intelligent representative of the patentees), a casket of jewels, a flask of gunpowder, several trinkets, cards, &c., with four silk handkerchiefs, the property of gentle. men present. After 6 hours severe burning in the most intense fire, it was opened, and to the utter astonishment of all, the inside was scarcely warmed ; the watch had not varied a moment, and every deposit was as safe and per fect as though it had been in a drawing-room cabinet. At 4, p.m., two smaller boxes, one Milners' patent (siz4 letter E.) with one purchased for the purpose, also sold as fire-proof, and such as we now see too general in the offices of professional gentlemen, were subjected to a similar trial as the above for 1 hour and 12 minutes ' • the result was that Mil ners ' b ox triumphantly presented all within it in perfect safety, while the other had yielded to the power of its contending enemy, not an atom of its contents being unconsumed ; the result in each case was most gratifying and satisfactory. A testimonial of the above facts has already been signed ; and we doubt not hut this excellent invention will soon be so firmly esta blished in the public opinion, as to lead to its general adoption, and prove of incalculable advantage to the com munity. Mr. Wendon will afford all the information in his power as to the merits of the invention, on applica tion to him at his offices, No. 39, Queen-square.—Bristol Journal. attempt a description of the many chaste designs dis played; but, as the public are admitted gratuitously, it is not to be lamented. The ceiling of the shop is now divided into four compartments, in order to show the ap plicability of the material to roof and room-cornice de corations. The following from the Literary World of April will illustrate the effect of these decorations : Ceilings, especially, are wholly within the mastery of the manufacturer : those at the Pantheon, in Oxford-street, Grocers' Hall, near the General Post Office, in London ; the vice-regal state-rooms of Dublin Castle, and others, which may be referred to, display, in some measure, what may be achieved in papier mache : yet these, superior as they are in general effect, are specimens of but trifling significance in comparison with the powers and capabilities of the material in the gorgeous details of the magnificent ceilings of the age of Louis Quatorze, which can be fully and permanently executed ; and as there is established evi dence of the durability of papier mache in the open air, it of course follows that in all interior decorations its inde structible quality may be still more implicitly relied on. Many pier glass frames and decorated chim ney pieces, constructed of papier mache, by the old method, nearly a century since, in the mansions of the nobility, are yet in perfectly sound condition ; and some recent examinations of the old Papier-Macho work at Chesterfield House, and in various residences of the nobility and gentry, in London and in the coun t ry, afford undoubted proofs of its almost incalcu lable duration; the component parts being, in fact, such as to render Papier-Mache less likely to decay than the laths or wood-work to which it may be attached; nor, in any instance that has fallen within the ob servation of the writer, has there been the least indica tion of injury by worms in papier-mache, one of the ingredients employed in its production being considered obnoxious to them." The shop, which has also been considerably enlarged, is now devoted to the display of window cornices and enrichments. CONTINENTAL RAILWAY SHARES.

WESTALL, DENTIST, 16, Great George street, Liverpool, (Pupil and late Assistant to Mr. Hair, Dentist by appointment to H.R.H. the Duchess of Kent, Bruton -street, Berkeley-square, London.) DECAYED TEETH.—Mr. W. respectfully invites attention to his method of filling decayed Teeth with the American Gold Leaf, the superiority of which preparation for stopping is so universally acknowledged by the Pro fession.

AYRES, PROFESSOR OF CHEMISTRY, respect fully announces to the Medical Profession and the Public generally, that he may be consulted in all the va rious changes of which the Hair is susceptible, and more especially those cases arising from indisposition, over study, and anxiety of mind, producing discolouration, a falling off. baldness, and sometimes its entire loss. Mr. AYRES also desires to call especial attention to the change the bulb of the Hair invariably undergoes at certain pe riods of life, before its effect becomes apparent to the eye, and to recommend a method by which that change may be averted, and all subsequent falling off and grayness pre vented. His mode of treatment, which has received the highest testimonials from the press, is never to prescribe until he has tested the Hair by analytical examination, which secures a recipe agreeably to the exact analysis, and by which it may be preserved in perfect colour, glossiness, and beauty to an advanced period of life. Persons who have experienced disappointment in the use of Dyes for the Hair, are requested to send the shade they require, as the process recommended will prevent that red and pur ple tinge, and produce a soft and glossy appearance, and a fixed and equal colour. All personal attendance can be dispensed with by enclosing a small piece of Hair, which, when examined, the prescription, with every necessary in formation, will be transmitted according to the direction received.

CAUTION. --To protect the Public from Fraud, the Government Stamp, (as on the " Kalydor,") is affixed on each box. IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Unprincipled Shopkeepers, for the sake of gaining a trifle more profit, vend the most spurious Compounds under the same names ; (and under the implied sanction of Royalty) they copy the label, advertisements, and tes timonials (fictitious names and addresses being substituted for the real) of the original preparations, and use either the word "Genuine" or a feigned name in the place of " Rowlands." It is therefore highly necessary to see that the word " Rowland's" is on the Wrapper of each article. *** All others are Fraudulent Imitations. The genuine Articles are sold by the Proprietors as above, and by Chemists and Perfumers. June 3, 184.5.
