CASES SUFFICIENT.

Thirty Fountain Pumps, that cost above 1,000/., have net cost
21 per year for all the connectors, though twenty-four of them,
from fifteen to one hundred feet long, are used to water the
public roads from Wymandham to Aylsham, and at Yarmouth.
A Treble-acting Fountain Pump at Diss brewery (horse
power), the connectors lasted five years, lift one hundred feet.
N.B. It is the packing that scrapes up the water in the old
Pump that wears out. And it is the connector that rolls up
the water in the New Pump that wears out.
Dark the next two eases, both Pumps having done the same
work.

A Single-acting Fountain Pump at Messrs. Horton's, dyers,
Norwich (manual power). Here the connectors of the New
Pump last four .t►mes as long as did the packing of the old
Pump it superseded.
A Double-acting Fountain Pump at Messrs. Stark's, dyers,
Norwich (steam power). Here also the packing of their old
Treble-acting Pump (superseded) used to last about three
months, now the connectors of their new pump last above six-
teen months. This noble machine has not cost Bs. a year for
connectors, though constantly at work, and delivers eight im-
perial barrels of water per minute, PRACTICALLY PROV-
ING THAT IN SKILFUL HANDS THE NEW NUN-
CIPLE IS DECIDEDLY THE MOST DURABLE.

The Seven Road Fountain Pumps, fixed early in ISA be-
tween Norwich and Aylsham, have not cost a shilling, nor
varied in effect.

The Ten Friction Pumps (alias Pumplings) mixed with
them, have often been repaired, and the other day not one of
them would answer the helm—so much for comparative frailty.

EFFECT.

At the many fair trials made by man, horse, and steam
power, the rolling principle beat the sliding principle, upon an
average, nearly eighty per cent., in raising water, 10, 2.0, 30,
45, and 70 feet high, and volumes of testimonials, by land and
sea, certify similar results.
But, whereas there are still many novices striving bard to
perpetuate ignorance and the Athenian spurious Pomp in pre-
ference to the New English genuine Pump and common sense,
pretending that they can make miraculous friction Pumps with-
out friction,

herefore, let us at once come to deeds to try the ques-
tion. and shame the fool who first cries " Hold, enough."

CONDITIONS OF PROPOSED TRIALS AGAINST
TIME.

Take four Pumps of the Old Plan, and four Pumps of the
New Plan, with mechanical parts alike, and so adjusted that a
man of ordinary strength may exert his full force, and raise with-
out stopping Mug imperial barrels of water five feet high, three
barrels fifteen feet, one barrel fifty feet, and nine imperial gallons
of water 200 feet high, or over the London Monument.

The number of seconds required with one pump less than
with the other, will be its gain in time and labour.

The competitors should find the pumps and the public the
pipes, in order to prove that engineers of the old school knew
as much about raising water as sucking monkeys.
Well, after all the stupid, lying, and even destructive oppo-
sition (Nenmarket to wit), the graduated scale of the Foun-
tain Pump is practically and successfully carried out from the
delivering of a single pint of water per stroke to the delivering
of 6,000 imperial gallons of water per minute. •
And now to congratulate all nations upon the complete suc-
cess of an invention of _boundless and undying utility, which
nature bars surpassing, is highly gratifyintr

P:S.—No work is worse done than that of raising water.

Respecting force and resistance both town and country
Pump-makers seem most gloriously ignorant.
I inquired of two men pumping, between London-bridge and
the Tunnel, how long it took them to fill their six-barrel water
cart, lift thirteen feet ?—Answer : About seven minutes, quick
working.
With a No. Six New Plan they could have done the like
work in seventy seconds.

One Fountain Pump would about equal all the Ihreo Cockney
built Friction Pumps at the Queen's Barracks, Norwich.

in which the skill of themedical man is more strictly tested than in
the complete eradication of those deplorable disorders arising from
unrestricted and indiscriminate indulgences, as well as in those

and brneful indulgence of the passions frequently acquired without
the knowledge of the awful consequences resultag therefrom, and
which not only entail on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities
of lid age, but occasion the necessity of renouncing the felicities of

" The History of the World informs us, that opinions are
sealed in the mind, and the mind is not susceptible of change
from that coarse instrument of Government-force. They yield
to lenity, to reason, to experience."—Page 275, Watson,

" Blaspheming Socialists !" " The rise and spread of this
sect afford a striking illustration of the pernicious effects at-
tending the introduction of false principles into philo-
sophy. The remedy, however, is at hand ; false knowledge
must be counteracted by real knowledge ; the people must be
instructed instead of being perverted ; philosophy must be made
to undo the work of sophistry. And for this Government is
responsible."—Sunday limes, April 5, 1840.

" There can be no doubt in the estimation of these gentle.
men Socialists ! ' that theocracy, or any government which
takes for its basis the laws and precepts of the Bible, does not
appear to be the best of all possible Governments. But if these
objectors were to read the Bible in order to know the truth,
they would find that when, in the phrase of Scripture, the
Lord was with the Judge, and they lived according to the pre-
cepts of morality contained in the Divine code, tlweroviderice
of God was with thorn; and thus -.hey were delivdiWout of the
hands of their enemies all the days of the Judge. But these
deliverinel were but temporary relief, for the people became
anarchist's.' Truly so; but it should be remembered that
when this was the ease they had forsaken the worship of God,
and had become, like these writers, worshippers of an imaginary
pt:antom, which they called Nature; every man doing that
which was right in his own oyes.
Those who explain this holy book, not only assert, but
prove, that the Bible is an unerring rule of faith and manners."
When they look at the visible creation, they are constrained
to believe that it could not create itself; and therefore they
admire those expiessions in this holy book," which assert the
eternal Power and Godhead of the Creator. The heavens de-
clare the glory of God, and the firmament sheweth his handy
work ; and thus they believe that the Bible is an unerring rule
of faith, that it declares the existence of God the Creator. In
the beginning God created the heavens and the earth ; and that
