PATRONISED BY THE lIONOURA DIX THE NAVY

CHUBB'S PA.T ENT DET ECTOIt LOCK.
THE Hon. Sir GEO. GREY, Bart., K.C.B '9
(the Commissioner), and the Principal Officers Of His
Majesty's Dock Yard, Portsmouth, have given the Patentee
permission to publish the following Statement of Facts relative
to his PATENT. DETECTOR LOCK; namely, That hav-
ing, by order of the Honoutable Navy Board, lately supplied
a considerable number of his Patent Detector Locks for the
use of the Portsmouth Dock Yard, and being informed that
there was a Convict on board one of the prison-ships at this
port, who was notorious fOr picking Locks, (being by profes-
sion a Lock ilaker, and who has, till recently, far several
years been chiefly employed in picking and repairing Locks in
London), the Patentee requested the favour of Commissioner
the Honourable Sir George Grey to send for this man, that lie
Might exercise his skill in attempting to pick his Lock ; and
the Commissioner having "been pleased to acquiesce in this re-
quest, the man was sent for accordingly, and one of Chubb's Pa-
tent Locks was submitted to his inspection, attire Storekeeper's
Office, in the presence of several of the Principal Officers ; When,
after a careful examination, lie said, " lie thought he could
pick or open it with falseinstruments." He was therefore fur-
nished with files, and all the tools he stated to be necessary to
prepare the instruments for, itis purpose ; and was directed to
give notice to the Storekeeper when he should be ready to
make the trial, for the •promotion of which a Itewiird of
Five Pounds was promised him if he succeeded. In about
three weeks after this time, he sent to say that he was
ready; and, a time being fixed on for the purpose he com-
menced his operations in endeavouring to pick Me of tittr Locks,
in the presence of the -Principal Officers of the Dock-yard ;
but he could not succeed. Ile then stated, " that his failure
was in consequence of his instruments not exactly fitting the
Lock." To remove this impediment, the Patentee offered to
supply him with some blank keys, which should fit two of the
Locks, in order to his making another trial ; these were fur-
nished accordingly, together with a Lock exactly the same in
principle arid in kind as those he had been trying, so that he
might examine its construction, and make himself master of
its principle. Shortly after he made another attempt to pick
two of the Locks, in the presence of the Ilonourable Sir
George Grey, and the Principal Officers of the Dock-Yard :
his success in this attempt was not better than the first ; but
he overlifted the Detector of each Lock. Sir George Grey then li
asked him, what he,would do in this case, supposing he had
been making an attempt on such a Lock, with an intent to com-
mit a robbery He said, " I would go no more to the Lock,
they would set a watch and catch me. He still drought, how.
ever, that, by a further alteration of the instruments he could
yet succeed more time was therefore given him, and every
facility afforctpci him. Some time afterwards he again repeated
his efforts, In the presence of the same Gentlemen ; but having,
'
in his previous experiments, overlifted the Detectors, lie could
not by any means disengage them ; this was done for him seve-
ral times, with the Keys belonging to the Locks ; but, as often
as they were regulated, on every successive trial he detected
them again ; till at last he gave then, up, saying, " That he
had used his utmost ability in his repeated attempts, and could
not succeed : that these Locks were the most secure he had ever
met with, and that he did not think it possible for any man to
pick or open them with airy false instruments whatever.
The Patentee of the above Lock, in making the following
observations, disclainis any intention of depreciating the merits ,
of other Locks, by describing their defects, or demonstrating
their insecurity; but trusts the Detector Lock will entitle him
to a share in the attention and patronage of tire Public ; as it
possesses, in a much higher degree- than any other, the four
principal requisites of a good Lock ; viz. SECURITY, SIM-
PLICITY, S'I'RENOTII, and DURABILITY. Its SE-
CURITY, particularly, is increased beyond calculation, by an
improvement, which not only renders it impossible to be picked
or opened by any false instruments, but also detects the first
attempt to open it ; thereby preventing those repeated efforts,
to which even the best Locks hitherto invented are exposed. In
these Locks, the combinations admit of so great variety, that
millions of them may be made, and yet one Key shall not pass
any two Locks ,• and the Detector renders that variety infinite ;
fur the instant that one or more of the tumblers are lifted beyond
the place where the bolt is at liberty to pass, it overbite the De.
tector, whiclithen hooks the tail of the bolt, preventing it from
passing, and thus gives incalculable additional Security, Os well
notiee: the tires t time the true key is put into it to
open it, that an attempt has been matte to pick it.,) anti renders
all farther attempts useless; it being impossible to discover die
first combination, to disengage the Detector, or the second, to
remove the bolt; and nothing but the,true key can either re-
lease the Detector from its grasp on the bolt, or open the Lock.
In reference to its DURABILITY, it is not liable to be in.
jured by constant use in any length of time ; this has been as.
certained, by an Iron-rim Lock having been attached to a
Steam-Engine in the Dock-yard, .Portsmouth (to try the effect
of friction), by which it was locked and unlocked upwards of
four hundred and sixty thousand times, without receiving the
'keit injury. The STRENGTH of its parts, and the SIM,
PLICITY of its construction, arc such, that no False Key,
'or other Instrument, intreduced into it for the purpose of open.
ing it, can (without very great violence) injure it.
The Patent Detector Locks, of every size, and for all the
uses to which Locks can be applied, may be had of die Paten-
tee, CHARLES CHUBB, Portsca.

Soon after 12 o'cloCk, the Manor rose, and said, that as the
present was a meeting of the Committee or the Society for Pro-
moting Christian Knowledge, it became him to open the pro.
ceedings with the usual prayers to the Almighty for rte pros.
perity and his protection, His Lordship then read the prayers
in a very impressive manner, all present kneeling; after which
The Bishop of CHESTER. addressed himself to the audience
in words to 'the following purport :—He said, he felt a lively
satisfaction—a.satisfaction which he had not words to express—
to behold before him a meeting so numerous, antisotruly re-
spectable. It was highly gratifying, inasmuch as it convinced
him, that there was abroad, not only a spirit of zeal in support
of our holy religion, but also oflove for the Established Church,
which was the 'beet instrument, under Divine Providence, of
propagating true religion. Assembled as they were with a pare
, tieular object in view, he felt it his duty to offer to their notice
a few observation. He would be as short as he could in ex-
plaining to them his sentiments; firstly, because,' probably, a
egreater part of those he had the honour of addressing were well
acquainted with the-principles of Society; and secondly, be-
cause he disliked from his heart, the ostentation of being pro-
minent in speaking on public occasions. True charity is unobe
trusive and retired ; she courts not public gaze, nor does she
seek public applause, any farther thah may-be requisite to at-
tract the notice, and to conciliate theregatd of those who would
otherwise remain in ignorance of her exertions and deserts; and
he Would therefore confine his remarks within the shortest
'nits which the execution of the task he had undertaken would
permit. Glad was be to observe at the meeting so great a
number of the Clergy of the neighbourhood; but still more re-
joiced was he to see so numerous anti respectable an assemblage
of the Laity, becausa it showed that the support and welfare of'
the Society for
promoting.. Christian Knowledge was not con-
fined to Ministers of the Goipel. He saw around him many
old and valued friends of that venerable Institution, numbers
of whom, no doubt, were• better acquainted with the subject
than himself; but he Would observe, that when he (the
Bishop) took on himself last yeart in the veeyecentraof the
Metropolis, to forward the objects of the Society, he found
hundreds who actually did 'not .know of' its existence! lle was
aweee, some might say, that this ignorance was owing to
the Inertness of the Society, 'but there had been no inert-
ness but what arose from the want of support; and if this had
been the case, it certainly was not so now. That these' had
been a discreditable indifference, he was not prepared to deny ;
and he even found amonget.hisparishionere many warm friends
of the. Church, who, strange to say supposed the Bible was
never distributed by the Society unless it was bound up with
the book of Common Prayer. This error, it was pretty obei-
ous, had originated in the misrepresentation of somaone ; hut
he would not inquire into that. When he sought the contri-
butions of his parishioners, it was fairly stated to them, that
the appropriation of the money would be confined exclusively
to the Society. for promoting Christian Knowledge, which was
strictly in its principles a Church Society ; and he was glad to
say, that although his parish was situated in that part of Lon-
don abounding with seceders from the church, lie found many
of them who gladly contributed towards so good a purpose.
Far from dissembling the fact, we ought to avow with pride
that this is a Church of England Society,. and we should cor-
dially co-operate in order to disseminate the pure principles of
that church of which we profess ourselves members. The So.
ciety first originated in the year 1699—a period when this king-
7doni was threatened on one hand with the danger of Popery.
and with atheism and infidelity on the other. It was formed
to counteract their operation, and was soon afterwards divided
into two branches; the one called the Society for the Propaga-
tion of the Gospel in foreign parts, the other called the. Society
for the Promoting Christian Knowledge. The principal object
of the latter was the foundation de charity
schools,
cconfinedtothe metropolis, and the formation of paroorenerally
can,
chatical libraries; that of the former to sending out Mission-
aries abroad. Let not the splendour of later and more exten-
sive charities so dazzle our eyes, as to make us blind to the
early and effectual labours of this Society. So early as 1740,
there were no less than two thousand charity schools found-
ed by this Society, directly or indirectly ; and at present
the metropolis exhibits to our view the great meeting of
the different charity shools in connexion with the esta-
blishment; holden before this society—a sight the grandest
and most, affecting that could be conceived !.—to behold
from 10,000 to 12,000 children assembled together in the
Temple of die Lord, what could be
,so impressive P—What
-could sooner touch the sensibilities of our nature 1 (His Lord-
ship at this period appeared to feel the importance of the sub-
ject to which he adverted, and was generally cheered.)---He
must apologize for being carried away by his feelings, but he
did hope to.see an annual meeting of the children similarly
educated at Chester, in that Cathedral._(Dear, hear ) Ile
trusted he should be excused trespassing on .their time a little
longer ; and he could not forbear adverting to the lamentable
deficiency of such schools in this city. There was not one
which gave public instruction on the Sabbath-day ; so that,
when children, imperfectly educated, had arrived at an age in
which they could earn something for themselves, they . were
taken away from their present schools, and the consequence
Was, that instead of having a school connected with the extae
blishment to avail themselves of on the Sabbath, they
.were
obliged to take shelter in the seminaries, of weeders ; so that,
in point of fact, we were actually educating children for Dis-
Ise:here From the schools of the church. Did It not, then, be-
come us to establish similar schools ?—(flear!)—At the pre-
sent moment there were upwards of 300,000 children receiving
the blessings of a church education, but that could not be done
(as his Noble and excellent friend, Lord Kenyoo, had just ob-
served) were it not for the assistance of the Society for Promot-
ing Christian Knowledge. This' fact alone would establish its
indefeasible claim to support from the friends of the church.
But the object and influence of the. Society did not end here;
it was always ready to glve. its assistance, and disseminate its
instructive books, not only to children but to adults. The great
increase of schools lutd of course given a great increase of
readers, and ueless the church of England supplied them with
thebooks they required, the Dissenters undoubtedly.would. The
second great object in view bY the Society was the general dice
tribution of the Word of OW. His Lordship wits aware that till
within the last few years, the operatiens at' the Society were

the laboure of its Leafier years. Suffice it, therefore, to say.
that within the East fourteen years, at least fifteen millions of
books have been distributed by the Society, of which a very
great preportion wes-the COmaion Prayer, and the remainder
useful and simple manuals of devotion for the poorest classes.--
A t the present thite, the Canimittee were employed in carefully
revising the general tracts of the SOciety, in order to meet the
errors and wants of the times in, the most ample way necessary,
so'thet, irea short tinie, lie had great pleasure m stating, many

'might be excused saying; and he adverted to it with gratitude to
God, that there never was a time when the work of infidelity'
was, levekbusY and bold than at present; and proud wits be. to
ray, that one great cause of this was owing .to the activity and
influence of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge.-:
(Hear t)—lrastly, another object which the Society had in view'.
was the distribution of the Scripture tesuch unhappy tnenkbers
of the Church, who, straying from the paths of rectitude and
virtue jnto those of vice, offended against the laws of their coon,
try, and were imprisoned ; and not only to prisons were the
beneficent views of the Society directed, but also to those soffere
ing under the hand of' affliction in public hospitals and infir-
maries. Ile was fearful he was trespassing too much on the
time of those who heard him, but he could not refrain from
stating the principle features of the views entertained by the
Society. There was yet 'one point untouched and that was as
to the progress of the Society in foreign parts, and particularly
in the East Indies. The Society for the propagation of the
Gospel had long ago supported Missionaries in the East, as it,
did at present : and he could not but admire the devotion of
those venerable and apostolic men, who would thus voluntarily
forego the blessings and comforts we enjoyed in this highly
favoured land, in order to preach to those who sat in darkeese
the truth as it is in Jesus. Their exertions has recently been
redoubled, and were most materially aided by the introduction'
into the East Indies of an
.episcopal establishment. District
.Committees were there formed, Societies instituted, and large
depote for books were established at Singapore, Calcutta,
Madras, and other places. It was particularly gratifying
to observed hat these books were' called for by the natives
,faiter than they could be supplied ; and it was a most im-
portant fact, that the book of Conmion prayer—that axed,
lent exposition of' the Scriptures—was principally sou ht
for. • In order still further to aid the glorious prospect. each
presented itself in that quarter of the world, a
,pant: had
lately been made by the Society of 6,000/. for the foundation of
a college at Calcutta, under the sanction and patronage of the
Bishop, in order to prepare preachers'of the Gospel according to
the discipline and doctrine of the established church. He (the
Bishop) would forbear to dilate on this interesting subject, but
he must observe, that the avidity with which the scriptures,
translated into the 'remota tongue, were sought fur at Tanjore,
wasenost gratifying. Ile hoped and believed lie should not be
deemed guilty of a breech of confidence in stating, that he had
been favoured with a recent communication from that learned-
'and excellent Prelate (Dr. licher) who now filled the See of
Calcutta, in. which 'rte adverts to the anxiety manifested by the
natives to send their children to the Missionary Schools, which
were partially supported from the funds of the Society for the
Promotion of Christian Knowledge. Before heconclutled, the
Bishop observed, that some years ago,
_ a Branch Committee of '
the Society had been established in Chester, but it•was exclue

clety, who paid their annual guinea. Now in the present
instance he did not mean to propose that such a • quttlificae
thin should be indispensable; on the contrary, the Corn.
mittee would he happy to receive the mites of all those who
were disposed to contribute in aid of a Society formed • for
such really Christian purposes—from the poor as well as
from the rich—in testimony of their good-will towards the holy
-canoe in which they had embarked. Ile would, however; pro.
pose, that none could he Members of' the Committee who did
not contribute lialf-n-guinea annually. He was of opinion also,
that it would be expedient to call occasional meetings, when a,
speech or two might be made in illustration of the progress of
the Society, anti for the information of those unacquainted with
the magnitude of its object; but he was satisfied the views he
entertained 'could not be efficiently supported,' unless by the
individual exertions of' tire Members, and particularly of the•
Clergy, who might personally seek the assistance of their pa.
rishioners; and lie was persuaded no Minister of the Gospel'
could be ashamed of interesting himself in a cause in which
charity was united with Christianity. In his own parish in

Before he sat down he must express his unqualified thanki,
to his Noble and excellent Friend (Lord Kenyoo), who was
always foremost in the cause of charity and religion, for,.
his attendance that day, and who had purposely travelled
a considerable distance at great personal inconvenienae to
himself; nor could lie omit naming another Gentleman,
of great rank and influence in the country .(Sir It. W.

immediate neighbourhood, had nevertheless- attended as
friendly to 'the establishment, and to the new Bishop of the,

ganization of the Medical Corps of the Hospitals

34 articles, divided into four chapters.
NON-OFFICIAL
BAFONNS, SEPT. 28.—A1l that different Jour-
nuts have published relatively to the entrance of
a division of thE.army of reserve into Spain, is,
hitherto at least, destitute of all foundation.
The two companies of artillery, which we
thought had sailed for Cadiz at thelwginning of
Septernber,'could not put to sea till the 24th, the
wind having been constantly unfavourable. Hall
a company of workmen of the artillery left
Bayonne on the 26th for Cadiz.
Two companies of the 7th Regiment of Artil-
lery, in gairison at Rennes, have left that city,
and are expected here on the 4th of October.
Each company consists of 70 men, including the
subaltern officers.
The most profound tranquillity prevails in all
the provinces of the North of Spain.
( From Ihe Etuile of Thursday, Oct. 7.)
PARIN,_ OCT. 6.--By a letter from Frankfort
of the Will or September, we are informed, that
M. Manger, brother to the late Director of the
Police, at Cassel, is reported in the latest ac-
counts from that city, to have Committed suicide.
He was at the head of the Administration of the
Public Pawning Office.
The •Conunamlant of the citadel of Erfurt has
-been degraded from his military rank, and strip-
ped of all his digeities, though the investigation
of his case has not yet been concluded.
An officer of the Danish navy, who commands
a division of the Greek fleet, lately wrote to his
:family a very detailed letter, front which a pub-
lic journal gives the following extract
" A person who is in such a situation as I am, to examine
the state of things on the very theatres of event; cannot but
be profoundly afflicted when he sees how little it would cost
the Christian Powers to stop the effusion of Christian blood in
these unhappy countries. lam sure that two ships of the line
arid fOur frigate::, manned with European seamen, would de-
stroy in a single battle all the fleets of the Sublime Sultan.
The Greeks with such means would triumph with equal case,
there is no doubt, over their barbarous enemies ; bin they have
none but vessels that are too slight to hear the fire of the heavy
artillery, however ill it may be directed.
" The Turks are in all respects the most detestable seamen
in the universe. The ignorance of their Captains of vessels is
such, that they are often seem to make their pilots responsible
fin the changes of the weather. These unfortunate men, mos
of them Grecks, compelled to serve, are liable to be baste
nadoed, if a sudden change of the wind forces the vessel to de.
.viate ever so little from its course.

"The confusion which prevails on a tiny of battle is beyond
•description. These stupid Illusselmen, to whom some Journals
of Germany, and even of France, generously attribute chival-
rous qualities, derive all their courage in the sight of the
eueuty, from an immoderate use of opium.
From the Captain to the meanest sailor or artillery-man,
they are all drunk or rather infuriated. Provided they hear
the cannormake a great noise, and see a thicksmoke, they are
persuaded that all goes on well.
"It is pretty much the same by land. In truth we may ob.
serve, that out of twenty actions in a campaign, the Greeks
will be conquerors in nineteen, though with interior forces. It
is only necessary to fight in very close order, and to lire as near
s possible. The barbarians will never make any impression
On a well exercised battalion ; they will come to be slaughtered
like brute beasts, that is their whole merit; their cavalry,
which is so highly spoken of, has never ventured to make a
single serious charge.
" It is beyond all doubt that negociations have been several
times entered into to obtain a squaclrdn from the United States
in exchange for some island in the Archipelago, that might suit
therm—The inexplicable manner in which the Europeon
Powers abandon these unfortunate Christians, may lead to the
conclusion of a treaty with an ambitious Republic in the New
World, and the Cabinets will lament their fault when it is too
late ; yet history, holds out to them great and salutary lessons."

SUPREME COURT OF BOMBAY.

SATURDAY, MAY B.—We aro happy to
an-
nounce to our readers that the Supreme Court of Judicature at
this Presidency was this day established. A. few minutes after
IP o'clock, Sir Edw. West, with Sir Charles Chambers, entered
the Cour*, and immediately, afterwards the New Charter of
Justice was openly read and proclaimed ; after which Bir Edw.
West took the oaths as Chief-Justice, and Sir Chas. Chambers
as one of the Nimes, Sir Ralph Rice, the other Puisne, was
not arrived. He is not expected here, we believe, for some

months. Upon the publication of the Charter, a royal salute
of 21 guns was Mid. Upon the Chief-Justice being sworn-in,
a salute of 17 guns was given, and Sir Charles Chambers re-
ceived one of 16 upon his taking the oaths.
MONDAY, MAY 10.—The Supreme Court met this morn-
lag, and after the Barristers, Solicitors, and Officers of the Court
had been sworn—

The ADVOCATE-GENERAL rote, and obßerred to the Court,

hat his Majesty had been graciously pleased to grant him his
Letters Patent, giving him precedence over the rest of the Bar
of this Court, and moved that the same might be read, and u
copy filed, and'an order consonant thereto made. The Letters
Patent were accordingly read, and the motion complied with.
A discussion then took place respecting the right of Mr.
Morley to precedence over the other Gentlemen of the Bar,
namely, Mr. Irwin, Mr. Parry, and Mr. Le Mesurier. The
three latter Gentlemen objected to Mr. Morley's right, upon
the ground, that they were Barristers called to an Inn of
Court in England, whereas Mr. Morley had never been so
called, but had merely been permitted to act, as an Advo-
cate, in the Recorder's Court, upon its first institution,
having been originally an Attorney. The question had been
before discussed so far back as the year 18011, between Mr.
Morley and Mr. Macklin, when the Court (Sir James Mac-
kintosh being at that time Recorder) decided in favour of ifr.
Macklin. Upon an appeal by Mr. Morlerfrom this decision, '
the Appellate Court in England refused to interfere at all in the
matter; it being a question, they said, solely for the considers.
tion, and at the discretion of the local Court, at Bombay. Not.
withstanding the decision, Mr. Morley, during the Recorder.
ships of four of Sir James Mackintosh's successors, vlz.—Sir
Alexander Anstruther, Sir George Cowper, Sir Wm. Evans,
and Sir Anthony Buller, had been allowed to take precedence
over three of the Barristers of the Cuurt, viz. Mr. M'Naugten,
Mr. Staveley, and Mr. Irwin.

After an argument of some length, the Court gave it as their
, opinion that Mr. Morley was entitled to the precedence. In
the course of the discussion, Sir C. CitAstamts observed, that
the power which this Court had over its Bar, under the Charter
was similar to that visitorial power which the twelve Judges
in England had over the Barristers there, in respect to their
privileges and conduct, and that the opinion of this Court, there-
tore, upon any of the rights of the Advocates practising in it,
was without appeal. It was a Local Court, and was the most
_ _

proper and fit judge of the merits and qualifications of its ad

vacates. fn the Local Courts in England, and particularly as
he had noticed in the Mayor's Court at Chester, shortly before
Leaving England, persons practising 83 Advocates in those
Courts, though not regularly Barristers, are yet allowed, and
do take rank and precedence over the Advocates, who are
actually Barristers, and have been called to one of the Inns
of Court.
