amongst the wild scenes and wilder characters of the Rocky Moun-
tains,' and has no higher aim than to give an idea of the difficulties

to draw a faint picture of the lives of those hardy pioneers ofeivilisa-

RAISING WATER discovered by the FOUN-
TAIN PUMPS, which roll the water upwards, without
either friction or faltering, therefore can never be surpassed ; conse-
quently this is the most important discovery ever made for the pre-
servation of life and property either at Sea or on Land.

AT SEA
numerous ships it has already saved, and the captains gratefully ac-
knowledge the glorious result's. Two testimonial extracts shall
suttee :

" Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountain
Pump being fitted in the Caroline, its great power was the means of
saying the ship and 230 souls on board, two seams in the bottom
being partly left without calking."
" The Argus brig, from Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days out
at sea, and soon after her common pump chocked and became use-
less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foun-
tain Pump, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was in ac-
tion without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely in London,
with a thank God for the Fountain Pump."

ON LAND
the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service than a
fire brigade. They act instantaneously at the outbreak of a fire.
" 'We are delighted with the invention—it is a great boon to so-
ciety."—Editors Liverpool Mail.
The New Portable Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of
Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on
fire in and near the city, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly,
including in the sevea the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and in the
eleven, Messrs. Horton's dyery, and 12,000/. worth of tonsigned pro-
perty ; Stoke mustard, starch, and flour mills, and lilessrs. Butcher's
grocery warehouses, just in time to prevent a large quantity of gun-
powder therein from exploding, which must have spread around de-
struction and death.

" North Walsham.—At this fire the Portable Engine was of great
service, and by having one of them ready, there is no doubt but half
the preperty- now destroyed might have been saved."—Norfolk Chro-
nicle, August 22, 1846.
At a Norwich fire Juno 2, 1847, the two Portable Engines were
the pets of the public. The cry was, feed the little engines and they
will do the work, which proved true. The four large engines present
proved useless.
Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozen atmo-
spheres.
Now the fast is this, all former Force Pumps, Lift-force Pumps,
Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines: they rub, grub, and
scrape the water upwards by friction, which wastes two-fifths of the
power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which I)rs. Young
and Hutton, with many other eminent experimenters, lamented
thus :—The quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom
exceeis half the power consumed, after overcoming friction and
leakage ; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world had
triad in vain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects
in hydraulic machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is won, and
won fer ever ; for friction and leakage are now both annihilated by
the new rolling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented from
twelve to twenty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with-
out more outlay.
Most men can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 40 seconds, but
some men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric-
tion Pump an active sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can
raise 10,000 lbs. of water one foot high in a minute, and with a Foun-
tain Pump 9,000 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most
extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni-
versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge Is Power.
John Clentou Roberts, Esq., in his popular work, No. 1,110, did
well in placing Gosset's French Pump Abortion (that slaps the water
upward) side by side with the Fountain Pump, which upset a good
deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump-
maker, Mr. 11 addley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr.
Ewbank, America, an ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the
two pumps were identical. But the Yankee out-fooled John Bull
and Paddy in No. 1,183, arid in No. 496, Book-maker 3dillington's
remarks are preposterous. However, on the other hand, Dr. Birk-
beck, Aberdour, Hay, Parkington, with many other discerning men,
after witnessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the
rolling principle, gave the invention the following true and susta'n-
able character:—The Fountain Pump is the most important improve-
ment in the art of raising water that has appeared within the last two
thousand years—the greatest advancement in the useful arts in
modern times.
The Consummation Fountain Pumps are successfully carried out
for private and public uses, at lifts below and above 100 feet altitude,
for man, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per
stroke to 100 barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair
trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed
at less cost than common pumps. .

BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, New-
road, London.—The principles of the Ilygeian theory are con-
tained in the following propositions :-1. The vital principle is con-
tained in the blood. 2. Everything in the body is derived from the
blood. 3. All constitutions are radically the same. 4. All diseases
arise from the impurity of the bluod, or, in other words, from acri-
monious humours lodged in the body. 5. This humour, which de-
generates the blood, has three sources—the maternine, the conta-
gions, and the personal. 6. Disease and pain have the same origin,
and may therefore be considered synonymous terms. 7. Purgation
by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effectuual mode of eradi-
cating disease. 8. Experience of upwards of twenty years has amply
proved MORISON'S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE to
be such proper vegetable purgative. 9. From the intimate connexion
subsisting between the mind and the body, the health of the one must
conduce, to the serenity of the other. Hygeism—The science of health.
Hygeist —A promoter of health. Hygeian—Pertaining to the science
of health. These terms have not been adopted through an affecta-
tion of singularity, but merely for the sake of drawing a salliciontly
broad line of demarcation between the old and new schools.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order
that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,'
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many oould
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when
used In moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the prolific source of mischief; and of greater or less Injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
.he nature and COIIIIkAUCIICe of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the Yuman frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Plaplology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly

from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear if ap-

forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes' of

IRELAND.
STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
DunLIN, DEC. C. - Again is town inundated with
rumours of murders, which, upon closer inquiry, turn
out to have no better foundation than had those which
had gained currency at the close of the last week.
Meanwhile, and although there is no actual case of
assassination to record, there are warnings abroad which
clearly indicate that the trade of the murderer is only
suspended, not paralyzed. Among the last batch of
victims marked out for immolation figures the name of
a dio'nitary of the Established Church—not rale of the
highflying " Tory " class, but the Whig and ultra-
Liberal Dean Hoare, of Achonry, a clergyman whose
efforts to relieve the distresses of the poor during the
recent season of calamity cannot bo yet obliterated
from the memory of the public. Here is tho return
he has met with, es given in his own words :
" I have received a threatening notice of a most
alarming character, posted at Elpin (dated Strokes-
town), threatening me with the fate of Major Mahon.
It is signed Molly Maguire,' and calls me to account for
all the money which I had received for the relief of the
poor !—accuses me of selling turnips at too high a
price (though I sold lower than the market)—and alludes
to a disappointment, by a man in this neighbourhood, of
a situation under the poor law guardians, which he and
his friends attribute to my interference. We are here
within thirty miles of Strokestown, and I fear the spirit
of Roscommon smd Leitrim is spreading towards us.
Same day that tht letter reached me by post, a friendly
notice was left in,my yard, warning me not to return by
the same road I had gone to Tubbercurry, and not to be
on the roads withaut a policeman. It may providentially
have saved my 114, as I took a different road back from
the petty sessio,.. my steward having sent the notice
to me while I w," sitting on the bench—and I took
two armed polio •ri with me in my car. Since then I
have two police, , in my offices every night ; and even
going to and church (at foot of the lawn, and
within four him .red yards) I am obliged to have their
protection ; and, when going lately to Sligo in my car-
ri.ige, I was obliged to take an armed policeman on the
box, changing escort at each police station on my way
there and back."

Subjoined is a more correct account than any that has
been yet published of the murder of the Rev. Joha
Lloyd. It is furnished by a correspondent of the Even-
ing Mail:—
"None of the accounts which have appeared of the
murder of the late Rev. John Lloyd being strictly cor-
rect, I think it may be acceptable to you to send a state-
ment collected from the immediate relations and friends
of the lamented deceased. As to the assertions of a
paper which is notoriously a panderer to the savage
,
was not a man of
tastes oef
athlteogmeuthrdeerrfearlsseo. of tAr.
hiecoLulnoytrdy I can assure you
extreme views or opinions—nor was he of the councils
of the late Major Mahon. On the contrary, he was very
moderate iu politics and was by no means on confiden-
tial terms with the unfortunate Major Mahon. It is
notoriously false that Mr. Lloyd had incurred much
unpopularity during the
'period of destitution, and also
as a poor-law guardian, for he was not a poor-law
guardian ; and during the severe trials of last winter he
devoted himself with unparalleled benevolence to the
relief of the poor. He was never to be missed from
the relief committee ; and, besides, was liberal in
the extreme in providing for the sick and starving
people around from his own private means. Nor had
he, as has been stated, ejected any tenant or tenants in
the county of Leitrim. On the contrary, about two years
ago he voluntarily lowered the rents on his small pro-
perty there by 1001. a year. The circumstances of the
atrocious act were these:—Mr. Lloyd was returning in
his gig, accompanied by a boy, from the church of Au-
ghrim, where he had officiated, and had reached within
an English mile of his home, when he stopped, as his
custom was, to give his horse some water. Two men
came up and asked what he was going to do? he said,
To water his horse.' They said, You shall not do
that;' to which he replied, ' Why not?' In the mean
time one had taken hold of the horse, and the other had
ordered the servant to come out of the gig. When poor
Mr. Lloyd asked, Why not?' the man replied, Because
we are going to shoot you. Well,' said their victim,
fire; lam ready to die.' One of the ruffians, who ha.l
steadied his pistol on the dashboard of the gig, fired,
and poor Mr. Lloyd fell dead; one slug (as appeared on
after examination), having gone through his heart, and
another lodged in his spine. The men were dressed
better than the generality of the peasantry of this coun-
try. After the bloody deed, they quietly walked away,
and though at once a large crowd collected, no one
attempted to follow or trace the murderers. The terror
that prevails is extreme. Every gentleman I have seen
carries arms ; some are constantly accompanied by po-
lice. At poor Mr. Lloyd's funeral, which was attended
by all the gentry of the neighbourhood, all the gentle-
men present were armed, and some carried their arms
from their carriages into the churchyard. There has
been a large attendance of magistrates to investigate
this horrible case every day since it occurred; but it
would be unwise to publish at present what have been
the results of their labours."

Another correspondent states, " There are reasons to
believe that the murderers of Mr. Lloyd are in custody.
A policeman happening to pass, a short time after the
murder, picked up the wadding of the gun with which
the deed was perpetrated. It was composed of a piece
of paper, with waiting on it. A search was made, and
a book found, Iron which a leaf had been torn. On
comparing the writing on the wadding, it was found to
correspond with the writing in the book. Two men
are in custody, and little doubt is entertained as to their
identity."

EXTRAORDINARY DEPRESSION
OF THE BAROMETER.
On Monday evening last the barometer exhibited a
most unusual depression; not, however,
as supposed by
many, the lowest unknown. The lowest point reached,
which was about six o'clock P.m., was 28.10; it eon-
tinned stationary for a time;but towards eight
o'clock it had again risen to 98.25. It was, however,
subjected to a second depression, and about midnight
Manchester not having any wind of extra
was again down to 28'10. This depression indicates
a very severe storm in some localities, though we have
escaped it in
ordinary severity- The letter of our Liverpool corre-
-
spondent, and also the electric telegraph from Liverpool,
give accounts of a number of disasters at sea, and it
seems that the storm, was exceedingly severe to the
westward. The barometer, on Monday night, indi-
cated the lowest point of atmospheric pressure since
the storm of Friday, the 13th January, 1843, when
the barometer stood, at six at 28.0, and at
eleven A.M. had fallen to 27'90. Since then the lowest
point reached, prior to Monday last, was 28'50, on the
26th February, 1844, and again on the 20th December,
1845, on both which occasions much rain fell and high
winds prevailed. On the 13th January, 1843, nine-
tenths of an inch of rain fell; but that was exceeded by
the fall on Sunday last
which
