ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE.
The first general meeting of the members will be held
at the Thatched House Tavern on Seurday the 9th of
May. There are ten candidates to be b3llotted for or,
that day, and arrangements made for the coming season,
which is expected to exceed in attraction any that has pre-
ceded it.

Toe Cornmocl re's yacht is getting ready, and hands are
to be ihi,rped Gn the Ist of May.
Lord C,,rry has taken the I..rge cottage in the West
C.iff. Sir John Cathcart, Bert., Sir David Erskine,
Bart., ,nd many other fashionables, have applied for houses.
It is not true that the Eal of Durham has taken Harriet
Lodge.

About thirty men are cmoloyed repairing the Parade,
near the squadron house. It is expected to be completed
by the end of Juke.
The Dutch galliot Alida, Sweirs, with wine from Bor-
deaux for Dordre, Iv, which Caine into this harbour to
repair damages su,tained by striking on a wreck at sea,
has been hauled on White's patent slip. Her bottom was
cut nearly through for six feet, and there was a large hole
in her larboard bilge through which a man could put his
arm. As this accident occurred on the 2th ult., it is sur-
prising how the crew succeeded in getting her into port.
They escaped most miraculously. Many, unfortunately,
under similar circumstances, have met a watery grave, not
one escaping to tell by what accident the ship was lost.
Rocks and sands are nothing to be compared in their evil
consequences to a drifting wreck at sea.

LORD STANLEY'S " SCORPION"

BILL.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT
It will be seen by the following extract from the
Waleribrd Chronicle, that Lord Stanley may consider-
ably improve his Irish Registration Bill, by adopting
the suggestions of some of the patients for whom he
has prepared this " black draught" as an " excellent
sedative :"

" At a meeting which was recently held at Lismore,
the very Rev. Dr. Fogarty, who presided, suggested
some improvements in Lord Stanley's Bill, amongst
others that the claimant's personal appearance—the
colour of his eyes—the length of his nose—the form of
his mouth—the height—complexion—natural disposi-
tion—expression of countenance, &c., should be set
forth, in order to preclude the remotest possibility of
fraud."

Should a corresponding ingenuity for amending this
measure be evinced in other parts of Ireland, the Bill
may he rendered as efficacious as Morison's pills, and
Stanley become a legislative " Hygeist."

FRENCH RAILWAY BILL.

" Art. 1. The Miuister of Public Works is to be
authorized to take, in the name of the State, any
amount of shares in the Paris and Orleans railroad, not
exceeding two-fifths, but no money is to be paid until
the other three-fifths have been paid up and employed.
Art. 2. The State is to receive no dividend until
the other shareholders shall have received 4 per
cent. Arter this, the State is to have 4
per cent. for its capital ; of the surplus, after this in-
terest, the state is to have one-fourth, and the share-
holders three-fourths. The reserve, which may even-
tually be distributed, is:to be divided between the State
and the shareholders, in proportion to their investments.
Articles 3 to 6 are merely the ordinary details
of execution. Article 7 authorises the Minister to
take three-tenths of the capital of the railroad
from Strasburg to Bale. Article S. No pay-
ment is to be made by the State until M. Kcechlin
shall have expended a sum proportioned to the amount
paid into his hands by the other shareholders. Articles
9, 10, 11, 12, and 13, arc of the same nature as 2,3,
4,5, and 6. Art. 14 authorises the minister to lend
four millions of francs at 4 per cent. interest to the
railway company of Andrezieux to Roanne, as soon as
it shall have been legally constituted. The other
articles stipulate the mode and periods for advancing
th• money.
" Art. 21 authorises the Minister, in the name of
the State, to expend fourteen millions of francs
for the construction of a railway from Montpellier
to Nismes, in communication with the railroad from
Montpellier to Cette, and with that from Alaix
to Nismes and Beaucaire.—By Article 22 the
State is authorised to expend six millions for the
construction of a railroad from Lille to the Belgian
frontiers, and four millions for a railway from Va-
lenciennes to the Belgian frontiers. The other articles
to 26 are details of execution.—Art. 26 authorises 23
millions of the total amount of 56 millions for the dif-
ferent enterprises to be taken on the estimates of 1840
and 1841, as follows :
London, England, 1840-04-13

1 840.

Strasburg to Bala
Andrezieux to Roanne 2,000,000
Montpellier to Nismes 1,000,000
Lille and Valenciennes to tha frontier of
Belgium

Total
1841.

Paris to Orleans
Strasburg to Bal©
Andrezieux to Roanue
Montpelier to Nismes 3,000,000
Lille and Valenciennes to the liNgian frontier 6,000,00 e

Tot al

The Courrier Franpais objects that succour is prof-
fered by the Minister, not in proportion to the wants
of the Companies, but to the importance of the line,
and considers Strasburg not so fairly treated as Or-
leans. It also objects to giving fourteen millions to
a new railroad between Montpellier and Nismes,
when a railroad is so much more wanted between Mar-
seilles and the Rhone. The road between Nismes and
Montpelier is intended to give the coal-mines of Allis
free communication with the ocean ; and M. Jaubert
has announced himself as the representative of the min-
ing interest.
London, England, 1840-04-13

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 nine 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 (Neranarket 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 gratifying

Sept. 21, 1838; and Norwich Mercury, June 28, 1839.
Bank Place Norwich, March 26, 1840.
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 dons the like
work in seventy seconds.
One Fountain Pump would about equal all the three Cockney
built Friction Pumps at the Queen's Barracks, Norwich.

DISTRESS OF THE WORKING CLASSES.—A
manufacturer of Lancaster writes to us—" The opponents of
the contemplated improvements alleged the inability of the
greatest portion of the rate-payers to comply with the demands
upon them. Now I should like to know what is the cause
that has plunged them into this deplorable condition. For if it
be the beneful effect of the Corn-laws, why. do they not, one
and all, come forward and petition for their immediate repeal?
I, for one, solemnly declare it as my opinion, that those ac-
cursed laws are the main and almost the only cause. For
have we not a population in Lancaster almost wholly and bene-
ficially employed, so that there is scarcely one head of a
family who is unable to obtain a day's work ? The high price
of food which the Corn-laws have caused, then, is the reason
why the improvements in the town that are so much required
will be with difficulty accomplished. These laws for the last
‘,4 years have entailed an average loss to the community of
.10,600,0001. a-year, and within the last nine months a loss of,
it is computed, near a hundred millions. Give the labourers
and artisans of this mighty empire a fair chance, and they would
be enabled to pay, riot only the police, but ail local and 6overn
;Tient taxes. With respect to the projected improvement, it is-
el'dent that it is incumbent upon the inhabitants of Lancaster
to make every preparation and accommodation for the increased
and increasing traffic which will pass through the town,
brouKlit here, be it remembered, by the laudable exertions and
sacrifices made by the directors and shareholders of the Lancas-
ter and Preston Railway.—Lancaster Guardian.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Last week's arrival of all descriptions of Grain was moderate,
and the fresh supplies small. The weather being fine, and the
prospect of the merchants paying duty on Foreign Wheat, caused
a dull trade, and prices of English runs were reduced Is. per
quarter, with a similar reduction on Foreign. Barley also sold
heavily, and Is. per quarter lower. Beans and Peas unvaried
from last week's rates. Oats firmly maintained their value with
a moderate demand. The Flour trade dull, and ship parcels
rather cheaper.

CALL OF THE HOUSE.

Mr. GR A.TTAN intimated that on Monday he
should move a call of the House on Lord Stanley's Bill
for Irish Registration.
Sir R. PEEL and Lord J. RUSSELL expressed them-
selves to the effect that this did not rest with the dis-
cretion of individual Members, but an order of the
House must be obtained for the call—not like closing
the Galleries, which any Member could do at pleasure.
The House then adjourned at a Quarter past Four.
London, England, 1840-04-13

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, 20, 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 hard 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,
Therefore, 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
London, England, 1840-04-13

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS, APRIL 11.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool-
sack shortly after Three o'Clock.
PRINTED PAPERS BILL.
The Printed Papers Bill was read a third time and
passed.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH gave notice that imme-
diately after Easter, he should move for the appointment
of a Select Committee to consider what regulations it
was expedient to adopt respecting the publications of
their Lordship's House.
ISLAND OF GUERNSEY.

Lord DENMAN presented a petition from Messrs.
Ladbrook, bankers, London, complaining of the state
of the law in Guernsey and the adjacent islands,
and stating that, owing to the delays in the
courts of law, they had been for a long
time unable to recover the sum of 4001., due
to them from inhabitants of the island of Guernsey
on bills of exchange, and that from the same cause
three years had elapsed in an undefended cause
without their being able to obtain any thing, while the
expenses were most ruinous. His Lordship begged to
call the attention of the Government to the subject.
MEDICAL REFORM.

Lord DENMAN and the Marquis of NORMANBY pre-
sented petitions (the former from physicians and sur-
geons of Nottingham) praying for medical reform.
CORN-LAWS.

Lord SYDNEY and the Earl of CLARENDON
presented petitions for the repeal of the Corn-laws.
The Marquis of NORMA. NBY presented petitions
in favour of Church Extension.
Several Bills on the table were advanced a stage.
The House then adjourned to this day.
London, England, 1840-04-13

CASES SUFFICIENT.

Thirty Fountain Pumps, that cost above 1,0001., have not 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.
Mark the next two cases, 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 times 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 PRIN-
CIPLE IS DECIDEDLY THE MOST DURABLE.
The Seven Road Fountain Pumps, fixed early in 1835, 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.

VINE ARTS.—We have no doubt it will be
_IL: gratifying •_o those connected with the Fine Arts, to
learn that the utmost attention has been given to the manufac-
ture of DRAWING PENCILS in Cedar, by Messrs. S.
MORDAN and CO., whose excellent lead is wcll known in
their Patent Ever-Pointed Pencils. As they supply nothing
but the pure Cumberland Lead, those objections so frequently
complained of ara entirely removed. We have had the grati-
fication of seeing their method of manufacturing the Pencils
from the Native Lead, and can therefore vouch for its
genuineness.

The once was 300 guineas. The lions, which are bought for
