the fiew Portable Fire-onginee are of inflaitely better service that a
Ire brigade. They net huktantnneously at the outbreak of a fire.
" We are delighted with the inventiea—it is a great boil to so-
elety."—Editon Liverpool Mail.
The New Bortable fire-engines have preserved a large portion of
Norwich front dettrnetion, for out of eighteen difftrent prepertise en
Ire In and near the 'pity, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly,
including is the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and in the
eleven, Years. 11/atom's dyery, and 12,6091. worth of consigned pro-
perty ; Stoke mustard, starch, acid lour mills, and Messrs. Butcher's
grocery warehouses, just is time to prevent a large quantity of gun-
powder therein from exploding, which mast have spread around de-
strautim and death.

North IValskam.—At this Ire the Portable Engine was of great
service, and by having one of them ready, there is no doubt bat half
the property mew destroyed might have been saved."—Nerfulk Chro-
nic:4e, ♦ugust 22, 1546.
At a Norwich fire June 2, 1247, 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 melee,
Portable Engines speedily prove steam-bellers to a done' &tree-
spher..
Now the fact Is this, all former Force Paws, Lift-force Plumps,
Lilt Pumps, and Chain Pumps are had machines: they rub, grub, and
'crape the water apwardo by frietien, which wastes two-fifths of the
power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young
aid Hatton, with many ether eminent experimenters, lamented
thus :—The quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom
excee:s half the power consumed, after overcoming frictien and
leakage ; and notwithstanding the be,t engineers in the world had
tried In vain for twe thousand veers to abate these palpable defects
in bydretttlio mactilnee, nevertheless, at last the sect'', is woe, anti
won for ever ; for friction and leakage are now both annihilated by
the new rolling principle is pumps, and their effect augmented from
twelve to twenty (er aboat seventy per cent.), and frequently with-
out more outlay.
Most men can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 48 seoends, but
some teen drop at minute time. With a best new heavy workiug Fric-
tion Pump an arive sound-winded young Mal of 14e lbs. weight con
raise 11,100 lbs. of water one feet high in a celeste, and with a Feen-
tain•Psinp 6,000 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and meet
extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and ani-
versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power.
John Ciento& Roberts, Etri., in his popular work, io. 1,112, did
well in placing Goeeet'e French Pump Abortion (that slaps the water
u►ward) side by side with the Fountain Pump, which upset a good
deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump-
maker, Mr. iistddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr.
Ewhaak, America, an ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the
two pumps were identical. But the Yankee out-reeled John Bull
and Paddy in No. 1353, and in No. 496, Book-raaker Millington's
remarks are preposterous. However, ea the ether hand, Dr. Birk-
beck, Aberdeur, Hay, Parkington, with many other discerning men,
atter witneiesing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the
railing principle, gave the invention the following true and sustain-
a►le churseter i—Tbe Fountain rump is the 'nest important improve-
ment is the art of raising water that has appeared within the last two
thoaeasid years—the greatest advancement is the aseful arts in
modern tines. .

The Conoarureation Poantain Pumps aro suceessfully carried ont
for private and public uses, at lifts below and above 100 feet altitude,
Mr mail, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per
stroke to 100 barrels of water per rainate, and rendering *very fair
trial at competition ridiculous, svhllat thoir durability is guaranteed
at loss east thee coatzten pumps.

The object of this Association is totally to abolish the its* of
climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those
employing them are subjected by the Li and Ath -Victoria, cap. 85,
are esatinually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced its
by a large portion of the public, froze a eonvictioi of the utter im-
possibility in isaamerahle oases of cleansing a chimney or flute with
the ell machine. Neu the laudable purpose of fhrthering the objects
of the law by avoiding all seemeity for its infringement, the inge-
aloes and effective Zanteneur machine has been invented. This
laveatioa ministate of four brushes firming a square head, which
by meows of 'Matte springs contracts or expands, according to
the small or extended epees in which the machine moves, thereby
Greeting an even pressure on all four sides of • chimney. The
rode attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with
aniversal spring joints, capable of turning evEt a right angle
and the whole is eirmouated with a deatde revolving ball, keying
also a universal spring joist, which leads the brush with certainty
past every angle, and late every corner, cleaning its route meet
perfectly. The capabilities of this amain, are best demonstrated
hy the fact, that it is azoluslively LlOllll LA the Government and
Numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large
number of the nobility and gantry is oontinulag their 1 eon-

M One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, sr a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hoping era-
litter the latter. The solitary one nattY shield himself elide: the plea
pf eaatien and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
oomproslag hurry ; but the troth lies deeper. Physiz.al incapacity,
and broken health-, are the great hindrances to dolnestle happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice densami that heal ai should form an Item
