ELECTION FOR LONDON.

For the first time in our history we have a Govern-
ment which is seeking to increase the revenue by " un-
chaining the industry of the community," and " light-
ening its burdens."

The Queen has taken up her position where the mo-
narch of a free nation in such a struggle as this ought
always to be found—with the people, and has emphati-
cally asked their decision in " matters which so deeply
concern their welfare."

The great majority of the electors of the ward of
Cripplegate Without will, it is confidently believed,
manifest by their suffrages on the morning of Tuesday
next, and not less by the zeal and promptitude with which
they tender them, that they are not insensible to the
appeal which, on behalf of their starving fellow-country-
men, her Majesty has made to them, nor unmindful of
their own interests, as dependent on the trade and com-
merce of the united kingdom.
Never has a canvass in this ward afforded brighter
promise, and the committee rejoice in the confidence,
that whatever inconvenience there may be to sustain,
difficulties to encounter, or apparent sacrifices to make
on. the part of individual voters, it will be found that high
principle, always consistent (but especially so in this
case) with the soundest policy, will triumph over all, and
that the promises given to the Four Reform and Free
Trade Candidates will be all, without exception, realized.
—Address of the Cripplegate Without District Committee,
signed by John Dillon, Chair Man.

COMPRESSED AIR LOCOMOTIVES.—We last
week gave an account of a French projeCt for driving
locomotives on railways and common roads by -means of
reservoirs of compressed air. We have been since in-
formed by a friend that the same thing has been tried
with locomotives on common roads, and failed from a
singular but very natural circumstance. Compressed
airs, if allowed to expand, absorb from all the surround-
ing bodies a quantity of heat, in proportion to their pre-
vious-compression.. This has been found to act so power-
fully on the machinery, as to freeze and destroy all the
lubricating materials, and of course considerably to inter-
fere with the performance, wear and tear, and efficient
properties •f the locomotives.—Railway Times.
The Institute of Missions in Berlin has received
tidings of the celebrated German Missionary, Gutilaff,
dated from Pekin, the 20th of November last. At that
period he was aided in his apostolic labours by seventeen
Chinese (to whom six others were shortly about to be
added), who, having learned Christianity from him, and
embraced its tenets, were serving their noviciate as mis-
sionaries. Two of his pupils, of Japan origin, were teach-
ing Christianity to their fellow-countrymen and to the
Chinese, at Macao; and his two nieces, resident also in
the latter place, had converted upwards of 140 Chinese
women, all belonging to the higher classes. Here Gutzl.aff
has addressed to the Missionaries' Institute 38 volumes
in the Chinese tongue, containing works relatin to the
Christian worship, printed at Pekin, Canton, and other
cities of China:—and the Royal Library of ";serlin has re-
ceived from him manuscript copies of nine very rare Chi-
nese works, giving the description of a great number of
monuments anciently existing in 0.,0 Celestial Empire,
but of which few or no traces novi remain.—Athena um.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester
has been for some time suffering under the effects of a
severe hereditary and dropsical affliction, which formerly
placed this amiable lady in an alarming position. We
are happy to perceive that her Royal Highness, since
Wednesday, is so far improved, that she has been able
to pay carriage visits. The inquiries at Gloucester
House, Park-lane, in the early part of the week, were I
numerous.—Observer.

SALUBRITY AND LONGEVITY.—There are
now living in the parish of Bishop's Hull, near Taun-
ton, thirty persons, whose united ages amount to 2,473
years, giving an average of 82 years and upwards to each
cram
