THE UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER.
30 to 50 per Cent. Saved!
The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts,
the advantages resulting from the invention are various and
striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the com-
bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light
hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns
steadily for any period ; and such is its purity, that it neither affects
or soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have
made to the introduction of gas in dwelling-houses, to the expense of
fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, &c. ;
these are entirely obviated by the "PATENT 'UNIVERSAL GAB
BURNER." As the cost of laying on gas is muck lower than is com-
monly supposed, it is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for
club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the
small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum
immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of
waste or trouble.

The merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing
every other known light, are shown by the annexed authentic
opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER.
Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers,

Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, Sir JOHN RENNIE, President, in the Chair.
" A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited.
The principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the
centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner.
The air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was
heated, and passed out by two series of flre-holes around the periphery,
and impinging with force on the flante of the gas curved it outwards
in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with
the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion,
The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady,
as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution,
where these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption
of these burners with that of the concentric risig burners, and trying
the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a
better light, with a saying of rather more than one-third."

CERTIFICATE.
POLYTECHNIC CHEMICAL SCHOOL.—" In testing Clark, McNiell,
and Co,'s Universal Gas Burner with one of the best shawdowless
burners, it gave a more pure and brilliant light, with a saving of 20
to 25 per cent." GEORGE CRISP, Engineer,

TION.

The Nation of this day-brings to light the following
instructive correspondence which has passed between
two Roman Catholic clergymen and Mr. Secretary Ray.
The weekly organ also publishes a forcible appeal to
the latter functionary from Mr. T. F. Meagher, one of
the great expelled, but its length will probably preclude
the chance of insertion :

" Chapel House, Templederry.
" Sir,—ln reply to your printed circular, announcing
the stoppage of the Nation newspaper, I beg to say:—
"That many of the contributors to the repeal rent
which I sent last February to the Association, were
mainly moved to contribute by the wish to get the
Nation. If, therefore, you break your contract with
them, you are bound to remit their subscriptions.
" That all the contributors of that sum are opposed to
the policy of your present extreme measure, as you may
see by our parish resolutions, published in the Evening
Freeman about a week since, and cannot convince them-
selves either of its justice or its its necessity. They can,
therefore, be no parties to it.
" That you may stop any paper which we would now
select, in a month's time, just as fairly as you now stop
the Nation.
"I beg your committee, therefore, to relieve them-
selves of solicitude, and us from inconvenience and dis-
appointment, by sew ing us the money, that we may
provide ourselves with a paper.
"If you do not choose to do this, I fear I shill be
placed in the necessity of demanding back the entire sub-
scription.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, SEPT. 4.—The market for sugar has
been very dell this week, and the transactions are
limited to small parcels, in some instances at lower
prices. Nothing worthy of notice has been done in silk.
1,000 bales China are announced for sale by auction, in
Liverpool, on the 18th instant. A good demand has
been experienced for cotton this week, and sales to
some extent have been effected, at gradually improving
prices; and the latest transactions establish an advance of
id. to /d. in American descriptions. Sinoe Tuesday
there has been rather less animation in the market, the
advanced rates required having tended to check the de-
mand. Prices, however, are perfectly firm; and, after
the large sales recently made, spinners and manufac-
turers are i❑ a better condition to wait than they were
previously.—Manchester Guardian.
BRADFORD, SEPT. 3.—`'POOL.—There is a full supply
of all kinds of combing wool in the market, but sales
are difficult to effect, prices generally ruling too high to
induce the spinners to buy freely. YARNS.—The de-
mand for yarns continues to improve, both for export
and home consumption. We are glad to learn that
spinners generally are obtaining an advance; spinning,
for many months past, has been a most ruinous trade.
PIECES.—There is a steady business doing in all kinds
of goods suited to the approaching season; manufac-
turers are for the most part making to order. Prices
fully maintained.—Bradford Observer.
NOTTINGHAM, SEPT. 3.—The branches of the hosiery
trade which are carried on in the town and suburbs,
have, with a few exceptions, got considerably worse,
and little is heard amongst the poorest class but want of
work, and want of money by the small tradesmen. The
bobbin-net trade may be considered as considerably im-
proved, particularly in plain nets, most of the German
houses being actively preparing for the ensuing October
Leipsic fair. The cotton warp lace trade keeps gra-
dually improving, the frames being slowly put to work,
while some'are working long hours. The silk branch is
depressed ; the same may be said of the bobbin-net silk
trade, which, on the whole, is very dull.—Nottingham
Journal.

LEICESTER, SEPT. 3.—A healthy business in all
branches continues doing, both by the London and coun-
try houses. Stocks of goods on hand are very low, and
wrought hose extremely scarce, the fine weather still
keeping the hands and seamers out. Yarns and wools
are steady.—Leicester Journal.

LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1846.

As might readily have been anticipated, the ru-
mours in circulation respecting the intended mar-
riage of Queen ISABELLA are of the most conflicting
character. Within the precincts of Madrid, and
throughout several of the Spanish provinces, a general
sentiment of satisfaction is expressed at her MA-
JESTY'S espousal with Don FRANCISCO D'ASSIS : and,
despite several malcontents, whose views were favour-
able to the cause of other and now rejected suitors,
the population generally evince pleasure at the ulti-
mate settlement of this protracted and difficult ques-
tion. According to the Heraldo the illustrious couple
will be united on the approaching 10th of October, a
day rather propitious for the august ceremonial,
seeing that it is the anniversary of ISABELLA SE-
GUNDA'S birth. By this arrangement those in-
dividuals who were disposed to advocate an unna-
tural intermarriage between her MAJESTY and her
MAJESTY'S uncle, the Count TRAPANI, are involved
in paroxysms of disappointment. While others more
inclined to uphold the cause of the younger brother
of the Duke DE CADIZ, the liberal-minded and
courageous Don ENRIQUE, are chagrined at the
selection of the less enlightened Don FRANCISCO.
Circumstances there may be undoubtedly to miti-
gate the pleasure derived from the conclusion of so pre-
carious and harassing a question as this one of the
Spanish marriage—the cause of so many intestinal
contentions and of so much unnecessary diplomacy.
A consort combining more brilliant endowments,
with more generous and independent principles, might
unquestionably have been discovered; the exigencies of
the Spanish nation, and the still greater exigencies of
the nineteenth century, might have been more ad-
vantageously met in the person of a Prince with a
character directly the antithesis of that for which the
fortunate aspirant is said to be so unfortunately ie.

REVIEWS OP TUE WORK.

"The author of this singular and talented work is a legally quali-
fied medical man, who has evidently had considerable experience in
the treatment of the various disorders arising from the follies and
frailties of early indiscretion. The engravings are an invaluable ad-
dition, by demonstrating the consequences of excesses, which must
act as a salutary warning to youth and maturity, and by its perusal
many questions may be satisfactorily replied to, that admit of no ap-
peal, even to the most confidential triend."---Era.

NOTICES Of THE PRESS.

From the Mark-lane Express.—" The work now before ns will be
appreciated by the professional man who is aware of the importance
of distinguishing between `irritative' and ' inflammatory' action in
determining the course of treatment of disease. The author is of
opinion that the symptoms of the former are frequently mistaken for
the latter, sometimes even by experienced practitioners. Mr.
Franks does not content himself with asserting the fact, but pro-
ceeds to show, by argument and demonstration, which appears to us
conclusive, that the position he assumes is correct. Having carefully
perused Mr. Franks's book, we can state with confidence, that it
ought to be read by every man, inasmuch as the information it con-
tains may not only afford relief to the mind upon the appearance of
symptoms which are not really indicative of the disease supposed,
but may be the means of guarding the patient against the practices
of the unskilful and the empiric."
From Bell's Life in London.—" We recommend this little treatise
to those who, suffering under deserved penalties, wish to pay them
off as speedily and safely as possible, without having recourse to the
ruinous banks founded by manslaughtering quacks."
From the London Mercantile Journal.—" Mr. Franks is evidently
an original thinker, and follows not the path of his predecessors in
treating the subject upon which he has written. 'There is a vast
amount of truth in his book. It is ignorance which often causes un-
happiness in the married state, and such a work as this may be the
means of displacing many of those serious heart-burnings and jea-
lousies which sever the peace of families."

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Their Lordships met to-day at Five o'clock.
MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS.
A messenger from the House of Commons brought up
several Bills.
PROTECTION TO AGRICULTURE.
The Earl of STRADBROKE presented several peti-
tions from places in Staffordshire in favour of protection
to agriculture, and against the Government measures.
They complained that the attempt anow made to re-
peal the corn-laws was a breach of faith with the
agricultural interest, as the measure of, 1842 was re-
presented to be a final settlement of the question. They
also complained of the compensation proposed, which
they considered altogether inadequate.
The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from
the hop growers of the county of Sussex, against the
measures proposed by the Government, which the peti-
tioners stated would be ruinous to their interests. The
Noble Duke likewise presented upwards of thirty peti-
tions from the county of Derby, praying that protection
to native industry be not withdrawn. He also pre-
sented petitions to the same effect from different places
in Devonshire.

CHESHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY.
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS IN THE BIRKHNHEAD, LANCA-
SHIRE, AND CHESHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY.
LIVERPOOL, FEB. 24, 1846.
GJOITLNMEN,—As a shareholder in this undertaking. I make no
apology for calling your attention to the following facts, which I
thfnk require your serious consideration. By the engineer's estimate
at the expense of constructing the above railway, and the printed
copy of our Parliamentary Contract deposited in the Private Bill
office of the Hottse of Commons, it appears that the estimate is
1,400,0001.; and the following gentlemen are recognised and ap-
proved of by the subscribers as the previsional directors :—namely,
Josepk Bailey, the younger, of Belgrave-square, in the county of
Middlesex, Esq.; William Potter, John Laird, Marcus Freeman
Brownrigg, and William Laird, all of Birkenhead ; Augustus Rad-
cliffe and William Ballexy, both of Liverpool ; William Wanklyn
and Lot Gardiner, both of Manchester; and Cephas Howard, of
Stockport.

Thire are various ether points connected with this matter to
whin I may call your attention on a future occasion. At present I
beg you to examine the following :
Our directors, John Laird, William Laird, William Wanklyn, and
William Potter, executed the deed at the dates and for the sums
following :—.

John Laird on 28th July last for .......... £81,300
on 4th November last for .... 5,000

--- 86,300
William Laird on 28th July last for ........ 75,000
on 25th September last for.. 1,850
on 22d October last for . . 5O

- 76,900
William Wanklyn on 29th July last f0r.... 10,500
on Bth August last for .. 51,150
on 18th October last for .. 5,000

G 6,650
William Potter on 11th August last f0r...... 79,950
__ _

311,800

This sum of Three Hundred and Eleven Thousand Eight HUndred
Pounds (considerably more than one-fifth of the estimate for the
entire line), Is a pretty fair stake for four individuals to have in this
rail way.
How many relatives of these gentlemen, not of the same surname
(such as " Mary Macgregor, spinster, Birkenhead"), there may be
smongst the general subscribers, I do not know ; but the following
gentlemen, at all events, are some of the nearest relatives of three of
the directors above-named, and they appear to have executed the
deed as follows

(THIS DAY.)

Sub• Committee No. 1.
(C'mtinued from our Afternoon Edition.)
THE EAST AND WEST-nvxma. DOCES, AND
lintmnrrizam JUNCTION.
Thiy.) adjourned case was the next called on.
Ttie CHAIRMAN said that with regard to the allegations,
Vtich had been submitted to the Committee on a former day,
'as to the powers proposed to be taken by the Birmingham
Company to borrow 300,0001. for carrying out the works,
the standing orders had not been complied with, inasmuch
as the promoters had not given proper notice of applying
for such intended power. In another instance, also, where
the sum of 50,000/. was proposed to be raised, the standing
orders had not been complied with on the same grounds.
.Several allegations of an unimportant nature were then sub-
mated, but many of them were overruled and a few sus-
tained.
Another allegation was sustained inasmuch as the section
did not show the lines of rails in junction with the Birming-
ham line at Camden-town, where it stopped short, not show-
ing the building of the existing line at that point-
&wend allegations were abandoned.
The Committee decided that the standing orders had not
been complied with in the instances sustained.
The Committee then adjourned till twelve o'clock to-morrow.

Sub •Committee No. 2.
This Committee met to-day at the usual hour. Present,
Sir J. Y. Buller ; Messrs. Kemble, Bell, and Brametone.
LIVERPOOL AND LEEDS DIRECT.
There were several petitions against this Bill, namely,
from Messrs. Armitage, York, Rudd, I. B. Hollins, three
from certain owners and occupiers of land along the line, and
one from the trustees of the Whitehall turnpike road.
Mr. Parkes appeared in support of the petitions, and Mr.
Pritt on behalf of the promoters of the Bill.
It being half-past three o'clock when the Committee en-
tered upon the consideration of this Bill, there was only
time to enumerate the several petitions, and to proceed with
a portion of the formal evidence.
The object of the Bill was to form a communication from
Liverpool to Leeds ; the length of the line was 33 miles, and
the cost of the undertaking 300,0001.
The Committee adjourned at four o'clock till twelve o'clock
to-morrow.

Sub-Committee No. 6.
London, England, 1846-03-09

LEICESTER. AND BIRMINGHAM.

This was a postponed case from last Thursday.
The object of the Bill is the construction of a line of rail-
way from Leicester to Birmingham. The length of the line
is thirty miles, and the cost 570,0001.
Engineer, C. Vignolles, Esq. ; agents, Messrs. Burke and
Co.; solicitor, L. S. Baxter, Esq., Atherstone.
Standing orders complied with.

SIZEITIELD AND LINCOLNSHIRE EX-

TENSION.

The agent to this Bill applied to the Committee for leave
to tender the evidence of a witness who was obliged to leave
town immediately on important business. The Committee
complied with the request, but the case was not further pro-
ceeded with, inasmuch as it stood lower down on the list.

LORDS' SUMMARY.

The Lonn CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at
Five o'clock.

Various petitions on the subject of the corn-laws were
presented.
In answer to the Marquis of LONDONDERRY on the sub-
ject of the alleged persecution of the nuns of Minsk,
The Earl of ABERDEEN said he had received an official
communication from Russia denying the truth of the
rumours in circulation on the subject, and stating that the
depositions alleged to have been taken at Rome were gross
fabrications.
Lord DENMAN then rase to draw their Lornships' attention
to the amendments which he proposed in the Irish Pacifica-
tion Act. He objected to giving the Lord Lieutenant the

if so convicted, the punishment was left to the discretion of
the judge, besides the being out must take place in a
proclaimed district, which gave to every one going
out warning that he was to provide evideLce that he was out
upon his lawful occasions. He thought there was no great
anomaly in this enactment, and that unless they beli out
the tenor of transportation the Act would fail in effect.
It was contrary to natural justice, and it was to make the
possession of weapons, the baing disguised, or the
being assembled in multitudes, a distinct offence.
The case which the Noble and Learned Lord (Brougham)
who had undertaken the advocacy of this clause, required a
great deal of bolstering up, and he could not congratulate
the Noble and Learned Lord in his success of his advocacy.
The Bill was for three years, but if it did not produce tran-
quility then, it would be their duty to have recourse to more
stringent measures.

WIMSHIP-STREET.

Thomas Brown, a young man, eighteen years of age,
who has been three weeks in custody, was placed at the
bar before Mr. Brought)°, for re examination, upon a
charge of stealing large quantitias of candles, tobacco,
and other goods, belonging to his mother, Mrs. Mary
Ann Brown, a very respectable old widow, who keeps an
oil and pickle warehouse in the Bethnal green-road ;
and Charles Henry Cross, who carries on business as
general dealer, in Coiling wood-street, Bethnal-green,
was placed at the bar eith him, charged with feloniously
receiving the stolen property.
From the evidence given at former examinations, it
appeared that a large parcel of candles, which had been
packed up and p'aced in concealment, ready to be carried
away, was discovered by a younger son of the prom.-
cutrix ; and the prisoner, Thomas Brown, who lived
with his mother, but was not employed in her shop, was
accused, and subsequently acknowledged his guilt.
In consequence of a statement made by Sergeant
Teakle, of the H division, in reference to Crosa
Thomas Brown was discharged from the bar, and was
afterwards placed in the witness box and sworn. He
deposed that about four months back a young mans t.2;10)
was in his uncle's service, first introdue!:,, Lim
prisoner Cross, telling the latter to the
name and 'who he
was, and saying that b had tobacco to dispose of.
Cross said that hP 'would buy it, and pay half •a-crown a
pound for and the witness having about lib. with him
which he had stolen from his mother's, sold it, and re,
ceived 'site half-crown. That was on a Sunday morning-,
..ad he remained at the prisoner's till dinner time; whim
he went home and cleaned himself, and in flit aiteraonti
he returned to the prisoner's. The prisoner asked him
if he could get any more tobacco, or any candles, or
anything else, adding that he would pay 3d. a pound for
candles. In a few days he took another pound of tobacco
to the prisoner, and received half-a-crown for it as before,
and the prisoner at the same time asked him to bring
more, or candles, or anything. About a week after-
wards, he took two dozen pound of candles, for which
the prisoner paid him 65., and the prisoner than asked
him if he could get soap or bees-wax. He replied in
the affirmative, and soon afterwards took eioht bars
of
yellow soap, (31b. each bar), for which the prisoner'
agreed to pay him lid. per pound. When weighed, it
amounted to 55., but the prisoner only gave him 4s.
He continued for four or five weeks carrying candles
two or ta: ee times a-week, one or two dozen pounds at
a time, for which the prisoner paid him sometimes 3d.,
1m sometime only 21 per lb., quntitiee of bees' wax,

PRINCESS'S T HEATRE.

Mr. Charles Mathews and Madame Vestris, after a
lengthened absence from London, made their first ap-
pearance on this stage on Saturday. Madame ap-
peared in a new vaudeville entitled A Speaking Likeness,
and sustained the part of Manette, a country milkmaid,
living somewhere in Brittany, in the neighbourhood of
the chateau of the old Baron de liansy (Mr. Granby)' a
lover of pretty women, and a patron of the arts. Alfred
(sir. J. Vining), a Parisian artist, is on a visit at the
chateau, and he is struck by the likeness, the speaking
likeness, which Manette bears to her whom he had once
loved, but had ma,Tied to another, a dissipated roue, who,
having broken his wife's heart and dissipated her for-
tune, had gone to India to seek his fortune. Ile makes
love to Manette, who, with a delightful mixture of arch-
ness and simplicity, keeps the poor painter in a state of
perpetual torment, by hi a. rustic coquetting. He at last
persuades her to attire herself en grande dame, and set
for her portrait, in order that he may paint and possess
the likeness of her he had once loved. She takes her
seat majestically; and, in order to fix her at-
tention so that he may the better catch her features,
he hands her a newspaper. Scarcely has she
looked at it, when she screams and faints. It is scarcely
necessary to add the denouement. Manette is no other
than the lady-love of Alfred, who, to escape from the
persecution of her husband, had fled to Brittany to seek
the protection of her nurse, and the newspaper contains
an account of that husband's death, so that there is
no longer any obstacle to the happiness of Alfred. Comp-
ton, who acted the part of a stupid rustic, was most ar-
tistically stolid, and at the conclusion shared with
Madame Vestris the honours of a call. Charles Mathews,
who was as effervescent as ever, appeared in his own
two farces, He would be an Actor, and Two o'Clock in
the Morning, and was received with an e,ntbUsiastio w el-
MINN 1 ehpgsel'itta well attended.
