IRISH PEAT CHARC OAL.

THE IRISH. AMELIORATION SOCIETY,
Established by a Royal Charter of Incorporation, dated
Jan,ary 26th, 1519, which limits the responsibility of Subscribers to
the amount of their respective Subscriptions.

The LORD DE MAULEY, Chairman to the Court of Directors.
MAJOR-GENERAL MACLEOD (late Chief Engineer in Bengal),
Chairman of the Committee of Works.
Chief Office, 9, Waterloo-pla e, London.
Capital Stock, 500,0 01., divided into Shares of 101. each, to be
paid up, in pursuance of the previsions contained in the Charter and
Deed of Settlement, by a deposit of 10s. a Share, and Calls not ex-
ceeding 104. each, nor to be made within less than three months
time after the payment of any previous Call.
Twenty-one Days' Notice of every Can is to be given to each
Shareholder, by letter from the Secretary.
The First Call was payable on the 25th September, 1849.
. .

Thls Society was formed for the purpose of beneficially employ-
ing the Irish peasantry in the manufacture of Peat Fuel and Peat
Charcoal from the Peat Bogs of Ireland, and, in the gradual, but
permanent, reclamation of the Bog Lands.

- The teat Charcoal thus produced le an article of cotviderale
commercial value for many purposes ; and it hat been shown by
recent public exhibitions, and any person who doubts may satisfy
himself privately, that it is of ine,thnable value as a deodorizer and
disinfector of night soil, which immediately on being mixed with
the charcoal bee,om to a dry inolorous powder, c Table of being
handled without inconvenience and packed ha bags and transmitted
by railway or any other conveyance.
The manure thus produced is deemed by scientific men to be equal
if not superior in quality to Guano, and may be purchased at one-
fourth of the cost of that well- known manure.
The Directors have established these facts at their own risk,
having for some months past had an experimental Station at work
at Derrymullea, in the county of Kildare, where, in addition to
having satisfied thems:lves that they can make Peat Charcoal
and sell it in London with a satisfactory profit at front 40s. to 50s. a
ton, their operations have proved that if duly sup torte Iby the
public, they will be able to employ constaatly and most beneficially
thousands of the half-starved end half-naked Irish peasantry.
The system adopted and proposed to be acted upon by the Society
in the employment of the labourers is task worth, wills a far remu-
neration in money; and the Directors feel bound to state, that so
far as th3y have been enable .1 to carry out this system, they have
experienced froos the labourers a degree of industry, alacrity, and
docility, for which they were totally unprepared. The people em-
ployed have by severe labour clothed themselves and their ilunilies,
cultivated their patches of land previously lying waste for
want of seed, aid in so•ne cases have purchased pies ; and they say
all they want to make them happy is constant employment.
The Directors earnestly ap?eal to the pubic for support : to those
desirous of promoting the permanent welfare of Ireland, the oppor-
tunity is offered, by contributing to the funds of thi Society, of open
ing up in that country a new field of useful and profitable labour, to
Which a limit can scarcely be assigned.
Those who feel interested in removing from the densely popu-
lated towns of England the cause of pestilence and death, may fur-
ther that object in the only rational, because the only natural way,
by assisting to provide the antidote.
The aid of Agriculturists is looked for, because the labours of this
Society promise to render available to them millions of tons annually
of the most valuable manure, now worse than wasted.
And though this Society was formed rather on philanthropic than
on commercial principles, the Directors assure Capitalists who may
feel inclined to invest in the Stock of this °ociety, that they will
receive a quick and satisfactory return for any capital they may so
employ.

ANOVELTY for the approaching season is in
preparation to which a distinguishing name has not yet been
given, but which the inventors, Messrs. NICOLL, can recommend
as one of the most useful, warm, comfortable, and graceful articles
of gentlemanly attire ever produced. Specimens can be seen at 114,
116, and 120, Regent street, and 22, Comilla, as also TIIE TREBLE
Garment, or PALETOT, called TIIE NICOLL, which retains all the
characteristics of the famed Paletot (registered 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65)
le its exterior, and has the additional advantages of being convertible
from a warm to a light Overcoat, or versa, at the pleasure of
tke wearer, or as the mild or cold nature of the weather may re-
quire. This garment must be seen and worn to be properly appre-
ciated ; it will be found, perhaps, the best preservative of health in
this variable climate. THE NICOLL has been secured by Royal
Letters Patent in ENGLAND, IRELAND, SCOTL iND, and the
COLONIES ; it can, therefore, only be purchased in the country, or
abroad, of Messrs NICOLL'S (the patentees) recognised AGENT. 4,

FLOODING OF THE DON AND THE DERWENT.—
DONCASTER, OCT. 11.—One of the most destructive
floods that has visited this neighbourhood for some time,
happened in the early part of the week, and occasioned
a great destruction of property, and even loss of life.
The recent heavy rains were noticed to have the effect
of gradually swelling the river Don, and on Monday the
flood overflowed its banks, and laid the surrounding coun-
try completely under water. That portion of the Great
Northern Railway which extends from the station of
this town across the Bently and Marsh Ings, attracted
much anxiety for its security, The filling up the Chis-
wold had the effect of contributing to the overflowing of
the adjoining lands and the western side of the embank-
ment was flooded to a great depth. Some idea may
be formed of the extent of the inundation when it i•
known that the down lino was completely undermined,
and the chairs, sleepers, &c., exposed to view. In
the vicinity of the town much mischief has been caused.
Many dwellings were inundated. A promising lad, son
of Mr. Harrop, of this town, was carried away by the
current, near the wooden bridge on the course. In the
vicinity of Rotherham the flood proved very destructive.
The rain commenced on Saturday, just before midnight,
and continued without intermission for nearly twenty-
four hours. The Rother and l)on were swollen to an
alarming extent, the water overflowed their banks, trees
were torn up, houses flooded, and, indeed, the most
serious consequences were threatened. The bridge to
Masborough was only reached by carts, and up the river
four vessels which had been raised over the banks were
left on the grass when the fl md subsided. At Sheffield
somewhat similar devastating consequences were ex•
perienced. Accounts have also reached here of the
overflowing of the Derwent on Monday, and the occa-
sioning of a melancholy loss of life.

At the Middlesex Sessions yesterday the consi-

licensing the Hall of Rom.,, Windmill-street, was with.

DESTRUCTION OF A MOUNTAIN BRIDGE.—The
Vedette des Alpes states on the night of the Ist of Oc-
tober, during a violent gale of wind, preceded by a
thunder storm, the suspension bridge of Savines, in the
ILutes-Alpes, was carried away. This deplorable event
has plunged the inhabitants of the district into conster-
nation. The accident is attributed to the force of the
wind, although some think that the lightning affected the
cast-iron work of the bridge.

to non-commissioned officers and soldiers, may com-
mence from the first of next month.

provisions of this order, will strictly confine that grant to
the proportion of officers herein specified.

Wellington, Commander-in Chief,
" JOHN MACDONALD, Adjutant-General."

Guards stating that some of the barracks in England
and Ireland are at present lighted with gas, and that
the Board of Ordnance contemplate extending the
system to other stations, when arrangements can
be advantageously made for that purpose ; but that
the lamps must be lighted, extinguished, and kept in
repair by the troops; and that the corporal of Pioneers,
or some other non commissioned officer acting under
the direction of the quarter-master, and assisted, if
necessary, by fatigue men, is to be responsible for
the due performance of the duty. The non-commis-
sioned officer is to report to the subaltern of the day,
who, in order to prevent accidents, and to see that
the duty is, regularly performed, is to make his round
of the barracks to see that the lamps are properly
