CUNDY'S PATENT OPEN FIRE
VENTILATING STOVE.
TESTIMONIAL AFTER ONE WINTER'S TRIAL.
29, Chaiter•house-square, Monday, Feb. 17, 1846.
Dear Sir,—The stoves which you have recently erected in my
church have been highly successful, and I have great pleasure in ex-
pressing to you the entire satisfaction which they have given to all
parties. The church, which was notoriously noted for its coldness
and bad ventilation, is now most agreeably warmed andtesti well venti.•
to
lated. I shall he most happy, en any occasion, to bear ony
the excellency of your stoves ; and I will endeavour, to the best of
my power, to make them known, and I will certainly recommend
them to my friends,
I remain, dear Sir, yours faithfully,
Mr. Candy. W. ROGERS, St. Thomas's, Charter-house.
The Stoves to be had of Meesr,. Dowson, 69, Welbeck-street,

-----
THE AMERICAN PRESIDENCY.
There is a greater number of candidates for the Pre-
sidency at present than there ever has been at any former
period. Unless the names be cast into a hat, and a
selection be made at random, we know not how any
satisfactory adjustment of the opposing claims can be
made. A day or two ago we gave the names of a batch
of candidates, but we did not give half the number of
aspirants. We will now give them in tabular form :
Names. States. Polities.
Daniel Webster •.. Massachusets ... Whig.
Lewis Cass ... ... Michigan ... ... Democrat.
Silas Wright .. ... New York... ... Democrat.
John ,I. Clayton ... Delaware ... ... Whig.
John C. Calhoun ... South Carolina ... Democrat.
-amuel Houston ... Texas ... ... ... Democrat.
Henry Clay ... ... Kentucky ... ... Whig.
J. J. Crittenden ... Kentucky .. ... Whig.
John M‘Lane ... Ohio ... ... ... Whig.
Winfield Scott ... U.S.A. ... ... Whig.
Of the two first we have hitherto spoken. Of Silas
:Fright it may be said that his chances were much
treater before the late electhai than now. There is no
,ort of doubt that Mr. Wright possesses talent. It is
m ,st unfortenate for him that he was ever allied with
The faction known by the name of the " Albany Re-
. 4., ney." Thar, faction now hangs like a millstone round
his neck. Could he escape from its influence, his pro-
;;e-cts would perhaps he far better than at present.
John M. Clayton is a man of talent, and would run well
,or the vice presidency. We do not think there is any
.erious id, aof running him for the presidency. Mr.
t lallioun's claims are of no ordinary character. tle has

party, as an available candidate. The old man still
omsesses the affections of the progressive portion of the
Whigs, and should he not decline a nomination, would,
in all probability,. distance all competitors of his own
party. But it

tation, by the spread of a contagious fever. It first ma-
nifested itself about a month ago in a cottager's family,
family, and such has been its rapid and extensive spread
since, that up to Saturday last not fewer than thirty-
two deaths had arisen in consequence, and these out
of a village population of 150. The disease, we re-
tzret to add, is still raging, and such general alarm has
been created from so destructive an enemy, that many of
the villagers have begun to change their dwellings to the
neighbouring downs ; and it is expected, from the re-
movals, which are now pretty generally taking place, that
the village will shortly be deserted. The numbers
of persons who have thus been carried off ate chiefly of
the humble labouring class, some of whom are bewil-
dered in distress from the additional painful circumstance
that the head of a family, who had been its chief support,
tpts been cut off. The cause of this calamity is so clearly
ar.:nifest that the authorities have not deemed it necessary
to institute any inquiry, or to hold an inquest in eith,r
case ; the only Inyntery is that tte contagion should
have shown itself in a situation where the climate is con-
sidered to be so remarkably healthy. The enragement
of the disease is ascribed to the difficulties in procuring
medical attendance at such a desolate place of abode.
We may remark that this infectious disease has so ex-
tended .t,elf as to be vik wed in the district as a second
great plague. The melancholy event has excited much
commisspration for the distressed objects.—Devizes
