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

AT SEA
numerous ships it has already saved, and the captains gratefully ac-
kncreledge the glorious results. Two testimonial extracts shall
auffiee :
" Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountain
Pump being fitted in the Caroline, its great power was tke means of
saving the ship and 230 seals on board, two seams in the bottom
being partly lett without 'calking."
" The Argos brig, from Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days out
at sea, and soon after her common pump ohoaked and became use-
less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foult-
tain Pump, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was in ac-
tion without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely in London,
with a thank God for the Fountain Pump."

The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use oi
climbing 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 of the public, from a conviction of the utter im-
possibility in innumerable cases of cleansing a cliiinney or flue with
the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects
of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge-
nious and effective Ramoneur 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
creating an even pressure on all tour sides of a chimney. The
rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with
universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angl,.
and the whole Is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having
also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty
past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most
perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated
by the fact, that it to exclusively used in the Government and
numerous 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 sees, at the
offices of the solicitor, F, Delman, Esq., 39, Jermyn-street, St.
James's ; at Messrs. Barry and Co.'s. brokers, 7, Itirchin-lane ; at

THE GREEK QUESTION.

LORD PALMERSTON TO THE BRITISH
MINISTER AT ATHENS, SIR EDMUND
LYONS.
Foreign-office, Oct. 30.
Sir,—l have received your dispatch of the 4th
of October, No. 154, containing a copy of the,
letter from the Minister for Foreign Affairs, in
which M. Glarakis renews the complaints of
the Greek Government, which reproaches Mr.
Saunders, the Consul of her Britannic Majesty at
Previsa, with having done wrong in protecting Ge-
neral Grivas. I desire you to inform M. Glarakis,
that according to the information received by her
Britannic Majesty's Government, the Greek Govern •
meat has no right to complain of the conduct of Mr.
Saunders in that affair; and that there is not the least
foundation for the assertion of M. Glarakis, that
General Grivas, whilst at Previsa, prepared for a
fresh attack against the Greek King and Govern-
ment. The fact is, General Grivas took no such
measures during his stay at Previsa, and no part of his
conduct indicated that such was his intention On the
contrary, the motives which prolonged his stay in that
city were the negotiations he had with the Turkish
authorities to decide in what city of the interion of the
Ottoman empire he and his companions would retire to;
when this was decided he left for Janina. M. Glarakis
would do well to abstain from accusations without
foundation against the Government of her Britannic
Majesty and its agents. He ought to be, aware that
by such means it is impossible to render the relations
between the English and. Greek Governments more
satisfactory tor the Cabinet of Athens. As to Gene-
ral
Grivas, his preceding conduct and his political
opinions are far from recommending him to the favour
of the Government of her Majesty the Queen ; and if
the British Government has shown him any spark of
sympathy, it is solely because he has been the victim
of tyranny and injustice. In speaking of the unfortu-
nate events of Greece and its revolts, Mr. Glarakis
says, that the Hellenic Government has acted rightly,
and intends to pursue precisely the same course. Her
,Majesty's Government has heard this declaration with
profound regret. The system which the Greek Go-
vernment has for some time pursued, and which he
asserts it intends to follow out, is a system of illega-
lity, violence, and corruption, of injustice and tyranny,
which disgusts and irritates the Greek nation, and
wherever its agents have caused it to be felt, its natu-
ral consequences have been to produce a revolt. It
is remarkable that these revolts have been effected
by men, who were not of the opposition party, but
who were till very lately the supporters and the
favouritfs of ministers, and employed by them as
the instruments of an iniquitous misgovernment. But
when those men began to experience the bitterness of
the oppressive system by virtue of which the Go-
vernment, with their aid, oppressed their fellow-
citizens, they took up arms to oppose a tyranny which
was insupportable. His Majesty's Government hoped
that this impious system would have ceased with the
life of the Minister, who, as the chief actor, was
generally considered as the author. But as M.
Glarakis now declares that he shall not deviate from
it, it is clear that this system has its source and is
actually preserved by other influences, equally hos-
tile to the welfare of Greece, and contrary to the
real interests of the King; it is, therefore, evident
that M. Glarakis is but a voluntary instrument
employed by those influences to set their disastrous
politics in motion to obtain their end. If the
Greek Government wishes to prevent insurrection,
maintain order and tranquility, and encourage in-
dustry in the kingdom, it certainly cannot be done
by arbitrary imprisonments, by the pillage and de-
solation of entire provinces, such as recently occurred
in Eubea. To maintain tranquillity in Greece, the
development and prosperity of the country can only
be secured by a different method than that pursued
latterly by the Greek Government. The law should
be honestly and impartially applied; the judges ought
to be independent of the caprices and the corruptlpar-
tiality of the Ministers of the Crown." Justice should
be promptly and equally dispensed between citizen
and citizen, and between the Sovereign and his sub-
jects. The taxes should be equitably levied and
honestly expended. The public revenues should be
administered with integrity and economy for the
public service, and for the public service only. The
press should not be shackled by illegal prosecutions ;
the elections for the municipalities, and the Members
of Parliament, ought to be free ; the Chamber of
Deputies ought not to call upon itself the ridicule of
the legislative assembly, by expelling all men who
are not disposed to blindly obey the orders of the
Ministers of the Clown. If the Greek Govern-
ment admitted that the Constitution was a reality,
if it respected the laws and compelled others to
do the same, if it guaranteed the safety of persons
and property, if it also encouraged industry, and
secured to every one the fruit of his labours and the pro-
duce of his capital—if, in a word, it administered
the affairs of Greece in the same manner in which
the Ministers of a constitutional king ought to fulfil
their high and important functions, free from foreign
and disastrous influences, and acting only for the
good of the country—the Greek Government would
soon see that there was no need to suppress insurrec-
tions in the interior, nor to follow, isy diplomatic
communications with foreign Powers, the Greek fugi-
tives who have sought in another country an asylum
against the injustice and oppression which they had
suffered in their own. You will present M. Glarakis
' officially with a copy of this.

PALMERSTON.

To Sir Edmund Lyons, Athens.
This letter was delivered to M. Glarakis on the
ifith November; the following day Sir Edmund
Lyons received the following :
Athens, Nov. 17, 1847.
Sir,—l have laid before his Majesty and the
Government the letter of the Chief Secretary of
State of her Britannic Majesty, in reply to the
three representations you have done me the honour
to communicate. By that letter Lord Palmerston
is not justified in refusing a complaint and a request.
His Lordship brings against the Greek Government
most serious accusations, as hard in form as unjust in
fact. It is not by one only of these accusations
which has its answer in the facts, in the actual con-
ditions of the works followed by the government of
his Majesty, but by numerous efforts, sincere and un-
fruitful, which have only proved the discussi . was
at least useless. In this sad conviction his Majesty
the King has resolved to appeal, by an official com-
munication, to the evidence of Governments who are
not less exactly, nor faithfully informed than that of
her Britannic Majesty. In respect to the sympathy
which Lord Palmerston believes due to men whose
evil designs have forced them to seek a refuge in a
foreign country, it is an encouragement which the
rebels will not lose sight of, when giving reasons for
their revolt, as to the protection that they enjoy. It
promise to their accom-

as dangerous for the government of his Hellenic
Majesty.—l have the honour, &c.,

DINNER to COL. MATHESON, M.P.
A ibrilliant festival was given at Ashburton on
Thursday night, in honour of the Liberal Member
Col. Matheson. There being no apartment in the
town large enough to contain one-tenth part of the
Hon. and Gallant Momberiariends, two parties were
formed. Abut one loundred dined at the London
Inn, and near twice that number at the. Golden Lion.
At the London -Inn Col. Matheson presided at the
dinner.

COLoMATIIESON, M.P., in returning thanks, said,
during the short time Parliament had been asseinbled
since his election, he had endeavoured faithfully and
diligently to discharge the duties he undertook. He
had been constant and regular in his attepdance in
the House of Commons, endeavouring in the first
place to make himself master of those 'forms and
modes of proceeding which it was often Very difficult
for a new Member to make himself acquainted with.
He had also given his best considtratiOn to the
measures proposed, and supported Aim as his
judgment dictated. The subjects that had occupied
the attention of Parliament had been chiefly, two.
The state of Ireland was a subject, the interest of which
was not peculiarly confined to this country, but deeply
affected the empire at large. In fact, so long as Ire-
land continued in its degraded and distressed condi-
tion, it must be a serious drawback on the prosperity
of the working classes of this country —(Hear, hear).
There could not be a more importaht subject to oc-
cupy the attention of Parliament.. A great deal had-.
been said by persons calling theniselves ihe7friend;
of Ireland about the necessity of introducing.remedial
'measures at the same time. with what:they were
pleased to call "4 Coercion ,Bill."—(Hear' hear.)
i!All that might be true; hufstruoli. him that the
first thing to be done. was to give security to life and
property.—(Hear, hear.) In Ireland it had been
clearly traced that it was impossible to carry out im-
provements in agriculture or manufactures, or any-
!thing else, so long as when any new persons were
,brought to instruct the natives in any improved
'process, they were viewed with such extreme hos-
tility by the old residents, that their lives became quite
insecure.—(Heat.) He looked on that as one of the
'greatest drawbacks to the improvement of the
country, and the measures introduced _hey ahe ,Gal-
trernment, to give security to life, niteleprcperty,
were as mild and interfered as little as possible'
With the rights of any person. He did not co.aceive)
it was possible that any well-disposed lie..zSoti cold
feel himself subject to any hardship by tbetri.—
(Hear, hear.) The other.aTtlestion which hatraliefly
occupied the attentiian of Parliament was the state
of the country as to financial concern:` He felt it
was-a 'very grave subject, and one which it became
him, from his previous habits of life, to approach
with very great caution ; but though it was more
becoming in him to listen and bear what other indi-
viduals who had devoted great attention to it had to
say on the subject, he found among the highest au-
thorities a great diversity of opinion, and thought he
could not do better than sanction the proposal of her
Majesty's Ministers, and refer the whole subject to a
Committee. It was true they had had a great many
inquiries, and it was likely this committee in the end
might not come forward with any specific measure ;
but a great deal of valuable information might be
brought out.—(Hear.) They had new lights on the
subject every day ; and collecting all these to- •
gether they would arrive at something bene-
ficial at last. A great deal had been said
about this (Bank) Act of 1844, and many
experienced, sensible, and able men had unequivocally
condemned it. He confessed, so far as he could see,
the bias of his own mind was not against that Act. It
was true it had not been able to protect us from a
severe pressure, almost, he believed, without parallel,
but he doubted whether under the old system, before
this law was passed, the pressure would not have been
equally severe : and from his recollection of the years
1825 and 1826, he thought if there had not been some
law.to restrain the issue of bank notes, the effects of
the pressure would be felt' by the humbler class of so-
ciety, much more than on the present occasion ; when
no doubt they had suffered in common with the rest
of the community, and could not have escaped. He
could only say that it was a grave and difficult
subject, which it became every man to study with a
mind unbiassed and unprejudiced. He had not come
to any decided conclusion, except that it was the most
wise measure to have some security for the converti-
bility of the bank note. And it struck him that secu-
rity should be in bullion--gold, as far as he could find.
They might see also in recent commercial failures that
many houses of great wealth and reputation for the con-
duct of their business had been obliged to suspend their
proceedings, because they had invested their money in
a fixed capital—land and houses which were not
readily convertible when the pressure came.—
(Hear.) Then he thought that the issue of bank notes
and the proceedings of merchants should not be based
on a fixed inconvertible capital, like land and houses.
—(Cheers.) He might be very wrong in all this, and
it might be very presu:nptuous in him to speak on
these abstruse subjects ; but as far as he could go,
these were his views, on which he should act.—
(Hear.) Another subject was brought forward a few
days before the prorogation of Parliament—a Bill to
relieve her Majesty's Jewish subjects from certain
disabilities which bore against them. To that Bill
he gave his support—(Cheers)—and he did not doubt
that in so doing he acted in full accordance with the
wishes and opinions of his constituents.—(Cheers.)
There was also, during the short period Parliament
sat, a Bill brought in to remove certain disabilities
still affecting their Roman Catholic brethren. To
that he certainly should have given a general
support : he was not present at the division by
accident ; but at the sane time, there were some points
connected with that subject on which he was open to
conviction and hearing further argument—as to the
encouragement of the monastic orders in this
country.—(Hear, hear.) Ile thought it was a doubt-
ful thing.—
(Hear.) They were all entitled to free-
dom of conscience, but he was doubtful as to the ex-
pediency of encouraging those bodies of men who
were set apart from the business of the world, and
lived in idleness, upon the fruits of other men's in-
dustry, he supposed—(gear, hear)—and had nothing
to do but to busy themselves in other men's affairs,
and who, in a certain way, insinuated themselves into
the family concerns of other people, and who had
done a great deal of mischief in the world.—(" The
Jesuits.") These were the principal topics that had
occupied his attention since he had been their repre-
sentative, and he had explained the views by which
he was aetuated. He had only to repeat that he
should, to the best of his humble ability, devote him-
self to their service, and act on those principles which
he had professed when first he sought their support
and approbation—the principles of civil and religious
liberty ; through the medium of which he looked on
every subject that was brought forward.—(Great
cheering—three hearty rounds.)
James Matheson,
Esq., M.P., brother to the
Gallant Colonel, presided at the dinner, at the Golden
Lion.—Abridged from the Western Times.

THE ACTOR, AND THE CRITIC.-Mr. Barry, the
present manager of the Park Theatre, New York, when
quite a young man, was an actor at the Dublin Theatre.
one night. not being in the bill, he took a seat in a pri-
vate box for the purpose of witnessing the performance
of Othello. Shortly after the rising of the curtain a
stranger entered the box and took a seat by his side, and
both gentlemen sat out the whole performance. The next
morning Mr. Barry had the satisfaction of reading a long
critique in one of the newspapers on the performance of'
Othello, in which he (Barry) was set down as the lago
of the night, and most decidedly damned. The writer
declared his conception of the character ridiculous in the
extreme, and his delineation as "most villanous." Poor
Barry was of course astonished—he was enraged—and
immediately applied at the office of the paper for the
name of the writer. The critic was pointed out to him,
and, lo and behold! it was no other than the very man
who sat by his side in the private box on the previous
, night. This circumstance was, of Course mentioned
and the " gentleman of the press" admitted that he had
made a slight mistake—adding, however, in a rich
brogue,
„ Faith! it's a matter of no consequence at all,
at all, Mr. Barry; for what I wrote last night about the
gentleman who did play logo is exactly what I should
say about you if you had played the part." Barry
thought this a "foregone conclusion" with a vengeance;
but the critic would give him no further satisfaction.—

ZOOLOGICAL RECREATIONS. By
W. J. Broderip,
Esq., F.R.S., &c.,
vol.—The new number of the Quar-
terly Review contains an elaborate article, in which we are
glad to see dee justice done to the merits of this charming
volume. " Mr. Broderip (says the Review), favourably
known in the literature of his own profession, and very ge-
nerally esteemed as an upright, intelligent and humane ma-
gistrate, tells us that these essays were sketched as a re-
lief from more severe studies and duties,' and that their
present appearance is duo to Prefessor Owen, to whom the
work is dedicated, and to other scientific friends, who
under impression that
urged their republication,
they might form a hand book which might cherish or
awaken a love for natural historyv! 'We believe we do
not exaggerate in sayin that since the publieeticei of
g
Gilbert White's Natural llistory of Selborne, and of the
Introduction to Entomology, by Kirby and Spence, no
work in our language is better calculated to fulfil the
aim of its author than the Zoological Recreations. Mr.
13roderip's volume has taught or agreeably reminded us
of many zoological fects and generalizations of much
interest ; and being simply written, enlivened by the
stories of a rich and varied erudition, and pervaded with
gleams of humour, we feel assuvd that it will prove to
old and young readers a source of real reoreation."^
