RAISING WATER discovered by the FOUN-
TAIN PUMPS, which roll the water upwarda, without
either friction or faltering, therefore can never be surpassed ; conse-
quently this Is the most important discovery ever snade for the pre-
servatioa of life and property either at Sea or on Land.

AT SEA
numerous ships it has already saved, sad the captains gratefully ac-
knowledge the glorious results. Two testimonial extracts shall
suffice :
" Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountain
Pump being fitted in the Caroline, its great power was the means of
saving the ship and 230 souls ou board, two scams in the bottom
being partly left withlnt calking."
" The Argus brig, from Cadiz, sprint _z• a leak when thrz•e days out
t sei, and soon after her common rlmtked and became use-
leos. Captain Ituttiarford states all C.c....cpended upon her Foun-
tain Pump, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was in ac-
tion without a 1.111111ie,l respite, when all arrived safely ill London,
with a thank God for the Fountain Pump."

ON LAND
the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service than a
fire brigade. They act instantaneously at the outbreak of a fire.
" We arc delighted with the invention—it is a great boon to so-
ciety."—Editors Liverpool Mail.
The New rortab'e Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of
Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties oa
fire in and near the city, they saved eleven ,olely and seven mainly,
including in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and In the
eleven, Messrs. Horton's dyory, and 12,01:01. worth of consigned pro-
perty; Stoke mustard, starch, a••.d flour mil's, and Messrs. Butcher's
grocery warehouses, just in time to prevent a large quantity of gun-
powder therein from exploding, which must bave spread around de-
struction and death.
" North Waloham.—At this fire the Portable Engine was of great
service, and by having one of them ready, there is no doubt but half
the property now destroyed might have been saved."—Norfulk Chro-
nicle, August 22, 1840.
At a Norwich fire June 2, 1847, the two Portable Engines were
the pets of the public. The cry was, feel the little engines and they
will do the work, which proved true. The four large engines present
proved useless.
Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozen atme-

spheres.
Now the fist ie this, all former Force rumps, Lift-force Pumps,
Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines: they rub, grub, and
scrape the water upwards by friction, which wastes two-fifths of the
power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young
and Hatton, with many ether eminent experimentere, lamented
thus : —The quantity •t water actually raised by any machine seldom
excee:s half the rower consumed, after overcoming friction and
leakage; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world had
tried in vain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects
in hydraulic machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is won, and
won for ever ; for friction and leakage are now both annihilated by
the new rolling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented from
twelve to twenty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with-
out more outlay.
Most rims can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 4$ seconds, but
some men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric-
tion Pump an se' ive sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can
raise 10,000 lbs. of water one foe high in a minute, and with a Foun-
tain rump 9,0019 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most
extraordinary- lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni-
versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power.
John Clanton Roberts, list., i■ his popular work, No. 1,110, did
well in placing Gusset's e'rench rump Abortion (that slaps the water
upward) side by side with the Fountain rump, which upset a good
deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mallett, Duldin, a thorough-bind pump-
maker, Mr. Beddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr.
Ewbank, Ainer;ea, an ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the
two pumps were bleatical. But the Yankee out-fooled John Bull
and Paddy in No. 1.183, and in No. 495, Book-maker
remarks are prepo,terons. However, en the ether hand, Dr. Birk-
beck, Aberdour, Hey, Parkington, with many oilier discerning 1119/1,
after witnessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the
rolling principle, gave the invention the following true and erreta n.
able character:—The Fountain rump is the most important improve-
ment in the art of raising water that has appeared within the last two
thousand years—the greatest advameeMent in the useful arts in
modern times.
The Consummation Fountain Pumps are successfully carried out
for private end public uses, at lifts below and above 100 feet altitude,
fir man, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per
stroke to IN barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair
trial at eempetitima ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed
at less cost than common pumps.

The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of
ellinbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those
employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 85,
are continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in
by a large portion the public, from a conviction of the utter lm-
possikility in innumeratole cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with
the old inachlne. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects
of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringezyent, the inge-
nious and etTective liamoneur machine has been invented. This
Invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which
by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to
the small or extended space In which the machine moves, thereby
treating an even pressure on all War sides of a chimney. The
rods attached to this head or brush arc supplied at intervals with
universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angle
and the whole is surmounted with a doable revolving ball, having
also it universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty
past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its mute most
perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated
by the -fact, that it is exclusively used In the Government and
immermus public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large
number of the nobility and gentry in continuing their annual con-
tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well
as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prospectuses
may be obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the
offices of the solicitor, F, Dolman, Hag., 39, Jermyn-strect, St.
James's ; at Messrs. Barry and Co.'s, brokers, 7, Itirchin-lane ; at
W. Beath, Esq.'s, Nag's Head-court, Gracechureh-Street; and at the
princivil office, 1, Wellington•street, London-bridge, Borough, where
applications for aharea may be addressed.

many years, been proved an effectual preventative from the
ill effects of the fogs and damp air, which, in the winter season, are so

the stomack Itom the admission of damps, and to relieve those who
suffer train difficulty of breathing.

KING ARTHUR.—The author of " The New Timon,"

rious and impassioned, as well as whimsical, wild, and
humorous ; and to give the reatler a more decided in-
terest in the narrative, he has united the past with the
present, by covert allusions to existing personages.
COURT COSTUME.—The dress worn by the Deputy-
Lieutenants of Counties has become a favourite one at
Court of late, doubtless by reason of the strong opinion
of its elegance expressed so frankly by the most illus-
trious of the realm, and the natural grace it superndds
to " the human form divine." But as no little depends
upon the tasteful combination and the correctness of its
several parts—which until recently had to be obtained by
the wearer from various sources, none of whom were in-
divi4ua.lly responsible for any incongruity in the tout en•
sentble—it is but justice to state that the Messra. Fletcher's,
of I'2B, New Bonsi-street, have made it their study ; and
that the scarlet coatee and epaulettes —the laced trousers
—the cocked hat—the sash and sword, and indeed every
requisite for this costume, is furnished by that house.
at a rate no moderate as to have obtained to them a de-
served preference, almost amounting to monopoly, in this
bra- ch of their business.—Morning Paper.

DOMBEY AND SON. _No. XVII. By Charles

Dickens.
News is at length received of Edith and Carker,
and, as might have been conjectured from the un-
affee!ed morality of everything Mr. Dickens has ever
written—the proud wife ✓ has not fallen. " Dombey
and Son" will not therefore resemble " Falkland"—
that Handbook to Adultery ! James Carker has
succeeded so far in his machinations as to induce
Mrs. Dombey to cross the Channel and repair, ac-
cording to their previous arrangement, to Dijon-
-where he meets her, hut finis to his dismay that
he has " caught a tartar." The scene between the
two runaways, recounted in the last chapter in the
present number, is one of the most powerful and
dramatic scenes Dickens has ever depicted. " The
bald man with the beard" is one of those inimitable
side faces ".13oz" alone can sketch to the life in half 11
dozen syllables. Mr. Carker is true to his character
throughout— "coming with his gleaming teeth through
the dark rooms, like a mouth ;" and so is Edith in her
magnificent pride and audacity. The two preceding
chapters are of inferior interest, though they tend to
prepare the way for the catastrophe; the first being
an interview between good Mrs. Brown, her dauehtrr,
Rob the Grinder, and the merchant; and the seconfi
being an interview between Mr. Perch, John Carker,
Harriet earlier, and the stout stranger, who turns out
to be Mr. Morfin, of Dombey'e. The introduction of
Mr. Perch, the messenger, is so ridiculously comic,
that we give it entire.
" I've stepped over from Ball's Pond at an early
hour,' said Mr. Perch, confidentially looking in at the
room door, and stopping on the mat to wipe his shoes all
round, which had no mud upon them, agreeable to my
instructions last night. They was, to be suro and bring
a note to you, Mr. Carker, before you went out in the
morning. I should have been hero a good hour and a
half ago,' said Mr. Perch, meekly, but for the state of
heti' th of Mrs. P., who I thought I should have lost in the
night, I do assure you, five distinct
" Is your wife so ill ?' asked Herriet.
" Why, yen see,' said Mr. Perch, first turning round
to shut the door carefully, she takes what has happened
in our house so much to heart, Miss. Her nerves is so
very delicate you see, and soon unstrung ! Not but
what the strongest nerves had good need to be shook, I'm
sure. You feel it very much yourself, no doubts.'
" Harriet repressed a sigh, and glanced at her brother.
"' I'm sure I feel it myself, in my humble way,' Mr.
Perch went on to say, with a shake of his head, ' in a
manner I couldn't have believed if I hadn't been called
upon to undergo. It has almost the effect of drink upon
me. I literally feels every morning as if I bad been
taking more than was good for me over night.'
"Mr. Perch's appearance corroborated this recital of
his symptoms. There was an air of feverish lassitude
about, it, that seemed referable to drams ; and which, in
fee', might no doubt have been traced to those numerous
discoveries of himself in the bars of public-houses, being
treated and questioned, which he was in the daily habit
of making.
" "Therefore, I can judge,' said Mr. Perch, shaking his
head again, and speaking in a silvery murmur, of the
feelings of such as is at all peculiarly sitiwated in this
most painful rewelation.'
" Here Mr. Perch waited to be confided in ; and re-
ceiving no confidence coughed behind his band. This
leading to nothing, be coughed behind his hat ; and that
leading to nothing, he put his hat on the ground and
sought in his breast pocket for the letter.
"' P I rightly recollect, there was no answer,' said
Mr. Perch, with an affable smile ; but perhaps you'll be
so good as to cast your eye over it, sir.'
"John Carker broke the seal, which was Mr. Dorn-
bey's, and possessing himself of the contents, which were
very brief, replied, • No. No answer is expected.'
" Then I shall wish you geed morning Miss,' said
Perch, taking a step towards the. door, ' and hoping,
Pm sure, that you'll not permit yourself to be mere
reduced in mind than you can help, by the late painful
rewelati,n. The papers,' said Mr. Perch, taking two
steps back again, and comprehensively addressing both
the brother and sister in a whisper of increased mystery,
is more eager for news of it than you'd suppose pos-
sible. One of the Sunday ones, in a blue cloak and a
white hat, that had previously offered for to bribe me--,
need I say with what success?—was dodging about our
court last night as late as twenty minutes after eight
o'clock. I see him, myself, a ith his eye at the counting-
house keyhole, which being patent is impervious.
Another cne,' said Mr. Perch, ' with mitintary frogs,
is in the parlour of the King's Arms all the blessed
day. I happened, last week, to let a little obserwation
fall there, and next morning, which was Sunday, I see it
worked up in print, in a most surprising manner.'
" Mr. Perch resorted to his breast-pocket, as if to
produce the paragraph, but receiving no encouragement,
pulled out his beaver gloves, picked up his hat, and took
his leave ; and before it was high noun, Mr. Perch had
related to several select audiences at the King's A rms
and elsewhere, how Miss Clicker, busting into tears, had
caught him by both hands, and said, ' Oh! dear, dear,
Perish, the sight of you is all the comfurt I have left
and how Mr. John Carker had said, in an ae ful voice,
• Perot?, I disown him, Never let me hear him men
tioned es a brother more.'"
As to the letter, it proves to be one from the august
John Carker from the
eDsotanbibliesyhmheimnts,elbfec, caliharuscsetgheingvery name he bears has
become hateful. Mr. Dombey, hearing from the
conversation of nob the Grinder with good Mrs.
Brown, that the fugitives have gone to Dijon,

THE COMIC HISTORY OF ENGLAND. Nos.
XIX. and XX. By Gilbat AM tt A'Beckat.
These two numbers bring clown the history to the
death of George the Second, and complete the work
for the present. Mr. A'Beckett, however, !cads us
to hope that he may on some future occasion laugh
us merrily through the reign of George the Third,
and we hope that that future may not be far distant.

DOUGLAS JERROLD.
" Twiddlethumb Town," by the Editor, is con,
ceived and executed in a spirit of genuine Pants
gruelism. The " Voyage to the Isle of Jacks" reads
like a recovered fragment of Rabelais. But although
Rabelais might have written the " Voyage to the Isle
of Jacks," he was not large- hearted enough to have
written the description of the cup of patience—
neither could old John Runyan have written it,
albeit it is somewhat more after his fashion, but he
had not the wit. Edmund Spenser might, perhaps,
but even he would not have done it better than
Douglas Jerrold. Read and judge:—
" Ha, sir; what a goblet! It is set around with dia-
monds from the mines of Elen ' • it is carved by angelic
hands, and filled at the Eternal Fount of goodness. It
is the Cup of Patience. Resolve to take it, and though
you scoop your pauper hand into the brook, you drink
from out the chalice.
" Patience is the strongest of streng drinks—for it kills
the giant Despair. And sweet it is to think there is no
beggar so beggared who may not entertain his cap-
bearer. Beautiful Hebes—dove-eyed, and clothed in
woven light!—who, unseen, minister to the widow and
fatherless; who fill the strengthening cup for stumbling
want ; who glide.threugh prison bars, and solacing the
patriot with
.the draught, put hopeful music even in the
clanking of nis chains.
" Delicious drink! And there have been mon who,
thinking so, have got so drunk upon patience, that the
sweet intoxication has endured for their lives. Unlike
the vinous drunkard, the knocks -:nd bumps they suffer
in the tippling, they never feel. Therefore, doubly
beautiful is the cup of patience, for there is no remorse-
ful morrow at the bottom.
" And then the magic of the drink! What eyes and
ears it gives a man! How bright and how elastic it
makes the spirit! When the fruitful dews of 'sine are
singing in the brain, that seems to break into a purple
light, reflecting all things gloriously ; and when Briareus
only wants a hundred pockets, that he may u
hands at once, tossing up gold and erldsfortril all his
men—
j
why, it may be, the next moment brings the doubtful
thought ; the wine rejoices no longer, but stuns ; and
the all-helping giant lies a snoring carcase.
" But the draughts from the cup of
patience! They
really take the masks and coverings from things; and
sharpening the sight with futurity, andquickening the
ears with sense above the crash and discord of the world,
make the drinker prophet. The deeper his draughts, the
keener his eye, the more delicate his ear. Beneath the
jewelled crown he sees the nak
p.m! al
hat
h ip. holloweyed, It
stares upon him final corn The trumpets
bray, and he thinks of the note _t atin common file shall
call up king and beggar. And. rbe his lot
—he strengthens himself with patience, making his
heart-strings of immortal proof. And thu. he takes his
place, and plays his part:
hi,s reproof of pride, a smile;
his rebuke of wrong, a sign. •
" Editor hunting in Prussia, should be read by all
those admirers of the Prussian regime, and exclaimers
against the licentiousness of the press, who would
,
fain see a something analogous to the Prussian cen-
sorship established in this country. If there ever was
an organized hypocrisy inth world it is the beauro-
cratic Government of Prussia. the censorship of the
press has occasioned the dulness of German news-
papers. If like causes produce like. effects, may we
not conclude that that the censorship of the drama
has occasioned the dulness of English plays ? Certain
it is, that dramatic literature in this country has
been gradually declining ever since the licensin
.
system has been introduced, and . we sugrst to Mr.
Jerrold the propriety of making an endeavour to
procure a free stage as well as a free press. The
other articles are of average quality.
