GOVERNMENT MEASURE FOR THE RELIEF OF SHIP-
WRECKED MARINERS.—It is not generally known, we be-
lieve, that her Majesty's Government purpose carrying, during
an early period of the present session, a Bill for the relief of
merchant seamen, their widows and children, in which will
be embodied a clause, providing that such sum of money as
may be necessary for the conveyance of shipwrecked seamen
to the port to which their ship belonged, and for their main-
tenance in the meantime ;. and such further sum, not ex-
ceeding one pound, towards replacing of the clothes or other
effects which each-shipwrecked mariner may have lost in
consequence Of such be provided from the funds of the
county.—Kentish Mercury, Feb. 21, 1846.
THE PORTLAND VASE.--Mr. Doubleday, of the
British Museum, at a meeting of the Society of Arts
held on Saturday evening, expressed it as his opinion,
that this valuable relic of antiquity was manufactured in
the following manner :—A vessel of fine blue glass of
the shape required was first carefully finished, and then
dipped into a white; semi-transparent_ enamel, which was
subjected to the action of fire until it had assumed a vitreous
hardness. It was then placed in the hands of an artist, who
made his design, and finally handed over to the gem en-
graver, who operated upon it in 'the same manner as on a
cameo. The _ superfluous white enamel was cleared away,
leaving nothing but the original design in bas-relief, on a
polished blue- around. It was stated that Mr. Doubleday
had restored this gem with such •great success that it would
require a very close inspection to detect its former muti-
ation.
EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION IN SAINT GEORGE'S IN
TISE EAST.—Yesterday morning (Sunday), at halfpast two an extensive
conflagration, consuming property valued at many thousands of
pounds, broke .out in _the spacious premises belonging to Messrs.
Grant, Baldwin, and ugar refiners, St. George's-place, Back-
road, ht. George's in the Co.,iast._ The tire was diScovered by a private
watchman on the premises. Before, however, any person bad time
to arrive the flames penetrated the warehouse. Two engines from
Wellelose-square station were_the first to arrive, and were followed
by another from Jeffrey-square, and the one-belonging to the parish
of St. George. With as little delay -as possible these engines were
set to work. By that.period the flames had extended from the base
t the roof of the manufactory. On the roof-giving way, the noise
was most fearful, and resembled an explosion, in Its course carrying
with it the five-floors to the basement, At a later hour the south and
eastern walls fell with great force, but fortunately no accident took.
place. It was ascertained that the premises and contents were in-
sured in the Sun, Imperial, Phoenix, Alliance, and Licensed Vic-
tuallers' Fire Offices, to the extent, it was understood, ofnear 16,000/. ;
but the actual loss will exceed that amount considerably. As to the
origin of the fire nothieg could be learned.
I'AnLiAMENTARY MEETING.—On Saturday last a
large number of the Members of the-House of Comm Ons opposed to
Sir Robert reel's proposed measure for the alteration of the existing, corn-law met at Mr. G:ltankee's residence, in Palace-yard, when the
Hon. Gentleman and several of the "'staunch friends to the farmer"
addressed the meeting. Lord Rendleaham, Brooke, Lord Henry
Lennox, Mr. E. Wodehouse, Mr. Spooner, Mr. Benett, Mr. Stafford
O'Brien, Mr. P.-Miles, Mr. Ireland Blackbarne, &c., were present.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge had a
lengthened interview with Sir E. Peellyesterciay.
THE POTATO DISEASE.—At the ordinary meeting of
the Horticultural Society, held on-Tuesday, Dr. Lindley ex-
hibited some specimens' of new potatoes grown at the gardens
of the society And Lady Rolle at Bicton. •In many the dis-
el se of last autumn was very apparent, and in some cases it
was very extensive.: They, had been produced from sets of
potatoes which had been but slightly affected, but showed
that wherever the vitality had been influenced the disease
would be perpetuated—a fact which could not be too gene-
rally made known amongst growers. In many the brown
and blighted haulm -and the decayed tuber was quite as per-
ceptible as in any of. the old specimens. In the specimens
fresh dug up, no appearance of fungus could be detected by
the most minute microscopical examination, but this was very
apparent in those from the- country, showing that it was a
consequence, and not the cause of the dis6ase.
LAW OF SETTLESIENT.—On the 12th instant, the
Harleston Farmers' Club came- to the- following resolution:— It is
the opinion of this Club_that the increase of machinery has in the
manufacturing districts greatly increased manual labour, but that
the use of agricultural machinery is at preeent quite in its in--
fancy. The Club states, however, with great satisfaction, that,
so far as its experience goes, in every case where it has been
freely applied to land, the capital thus saved has been as freely
employed in manual labour of a more profitable kind. Thia fltallt
however, cannot be always expected wider the existing llitw of Set-
tlement, which necessarily impedes that change of
re-
quired by the immediate operation of All M employment
achinery—the super-
seding of manual labour. -This ital 3, therefore, in expressing
a decided opinion in fart= *S-ic increased aPplication of machinery
to agriculture, adds. 11" •
