In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, sececy,

The object of this Association is totally to abolish tits use of
climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those
employing them are subjected by the ad and 4th Victoria, cap. 85,
are continually reserted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in
by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im-
poseibility in innumerable oases of cleansing a chimney or time with
the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects
of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge-.
Mows 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 four sides of a chimney. The
rods attached to this head or brush are sppplied at intervals with
universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angle
and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having
also a universal spring jolat, 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 demenstrated
by the fact, that it is exclusively used in the Goveniment and
eutnerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large
'amber of the nobility and gentry in continuing their animal con-
tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well
as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prospectuses
may bo obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the
offices of the solicitor, F, Dolman, Esq., if, Jennyn-street, it.

RAISING WATER discoYered by the FOUN-

either friction or faltering, therefore can never b• surpassed ; conse-
quently this is the most important discovery ever made for the pre-
servation of life and property either at Sea or ou Land.
AT SEA

numerous ships it has already saved, and 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 et
saving the ship and 230 souls on beard, two seams in the bottom
being partly left without calking."
" The Argus brig, from Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days out
at sea, and soon after her common pump choaked and became use-
less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foun-
tain Pump, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was is ac-
tion without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely in London,
with a thank God for the Fountain Pump."

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
SIR CHARLES NAPIER'S SQUADRON.
PORTSMOUTH, PRIDAT.—The Jupiter packet has
put us in possession of letters from our friends in the
squadron, which enable us to continue our details of
the movements of the ships :
" December 22.—The St. Vincent, Queen, Ca-
nopus, Albion, Dragon, and Scourge put to sea for a
cruise, the object being a last trial of the Albion, 90,
in competition with the other ships. The Scourge
parted company outside the bar.
" 23d.—The ships shortened all sail, and remained
for an hour to try rolling, when the signal was made,
that the St. Vincent rolled from 14 degrees to lee-
ward to 4 degrees to windward ; the Albion rolled 15
degrees to leeward and 11 degrees to windward ;
Queen, 14 degrees to leeward and 11 to windward ;
Canopus, 15 degrees to windward, 9 to leeward. The
Albion rolled 480 times in one hour ; Canopus, 212
times in 52 minutes; Queen, 268 times in one hour
and twenty minutes ; St. Vincent, 60 times in one
hour. The Albion took in six 68-pounders from the
Howe before leaving, which were put on her lower
deck. The St. Vincent's upper deck guns are on
shore. After the rolling, the ships were formed in
columns and sailed under double-reefed topsails,
courses, topgallant-sails, jib, and spanker, when the
Canopus, as usual, beat all, sparing topgallantsails;
Queen was next ; then Albion and St. Vincent. The
Dragon steam- frigate kept her station well.
"24th.—Tried rate of sailing, single reefs, topgal-
lant sails, courses, jib, and spanker, for six hours.
The result was the Albion beat the St. Vincent one
mile ; the Queen beat the St. Vincent three miles ;
the Canopus beat the St. Vincent three and a half
miles; Albion rolling a good deal; when in the
swell her motion is very quick.
"25th.—Light winds ; little done, but the swell
from the late northerly wind gave us another proof of
the Albion's rolling propensities.
" 26th.—The Scourge steam-sloop joined with the
mail, and the Albion was dispatched to England.
-P.M.—Squadron made sail towards Lisbon.
" 27th.—The Scourge took the St. Vincent in
tow, and the Dragon took the Queen, but cast off
outside the bar, when the ship made sail for the
night.
" 28th.—At daylight off the rock cf Lisbon; at
noon the Dragon took the St. Vincent in tow, the
Scourge took the Queen. Just as the St. Vincent
was nearing the bar both hawsers parted, when she
made sail with the wind N.E , and worked up the
river ; one of the Queen's hawsers parted, but the
`scourge took her up to the anchorage.
" 29th.—The squadron all in their former places.
The Amphion screw frigate is here with the step of
her mainmast adrift, &c. The Alert brig is refitting
prior to going to the coast of Africa.
" 30th.—Weather very unsettled ; the packet which
ought to have been here from Gibraltar on the 27th
only arrived to-day.
4131st.—The packet sails to-day for England.
Squadron all well."
Our letters again speak of the insufficiency of the
anchors supplied to her Majesty's ships now in the
Tagus. It was about a month or six weeks since our
attention was called to the fact of most of the ships
comprising the squadron under Sir Charles Napier
having carried away or broken their anchors, owing
to faulty construction or some other cause, and that,
too, comparatively, during the fair weather season ;
and now that we may reasonably expect squalls and
foul weather it is hoped we may not have to record
some serious calamity, arising either from the want
of strength or holding powers in the anchors usually
supplied to our ships of war, though occasionally other
and improved anchors than that of the Admiralty plan
find their way on board a flag-ship, as in the case of
the St. Vincent, which the following fact will illus-
trate :—On the 18th ult. the St. Vincent was
moored with an Admiralty anchor to the E N.E.,
and to the W.S.W. by an anchor known as
Porter's ; this latter held the three-decker
during violent squalls from the westward and a
rapid flood-tide, hut, strange to say, on the ebb-tide
making, the strain necessarily came then on the
anchor to the eastward, and the ship continued to
drag until checked by Porter's anchor to the west-
ward, which continued to hold her again in saftety.
The crew of this fine ship was consequently em-
ployed the whole of Sunday to get her into a berth,
or moor her according to the regulations of the ser-
vice ; or otherwise we do not see the necessity of
" mooring" if one anchor will hold mere effectually
than two, as proved in the above instance, against a
rapid flood-tide running six or seven knots, and
violent squalls of wind at the same time.

The Earl of Auckland, First Lord of the Admi-
ralty, left his official seat this day for a week's ab-
sence, it is reported on a visit to her Majesty.
Captain the Hon. M. F. F. Berkeley, M.P., Second
Naval Lord of the Admiralty, also left the board
this afternoon, on a visit to his son-in-law, Lord
Giffard, residing near this port. Captain Berkeley
will resume his official duties on Monday.
Captain Herringham (not Sherringham) is ap-
pointed to the Havannah heavy corvette of 22 guns
at Sheerness for service at New Zealand.
The Bonetta brigantine, Lieutenant- Commander
Forbes, arrived this morning from Chatham. She is
bound to the coast of Africa.
The Terrible steam-frigate, Captain Ramsay, is
under orders to leave Spithead to-morrow morning as
soon as possible after daylight for Lisbon, with dis-
patches and supernumeraries. She proceeds first to
Cork to embark Mrs. and Miss Napier. The following
personages and officers go out in her :—Mr. Norton,
as Attache to Sir Hamilton Seymour, the British
Minister at Lisbon ; Lieutenant J. B. Rowles, Mr.
Tucker, master; Messrs. R. Mansell, N. F. Ruxton,
and F. P. Staples, midshipmen; and H. J. Marshall,
naval cadet, to join the Queen ; Lieutenant J. H.
Howard and Mr. W. W. Evans, clerk, to join the
Howe ; Messrs. John Irving and T. D. Pratt,
naval cadets, to join the St. Vincent ; Richard
Sturges, second master, to join the flag-ship
Crocodile at Cork ; Mr. Capron Bridges, naval
cadet, to join the Amphion ; Mr. Charles
O'Ferrall, second master, to join the Avenger; also
Captain I corporal, 11 privates, and 2 gunners
4:lfthe ERolyl•iaot,
l Marine Artillery, and 20 second class
boys for the disposal of Sir Charles Napier in his
squadron. The Terrible is only six men short of her
complement. It is expected she will, although start-
ing a day later, and having to put into Cork, beat the
packet which left Southampton this morning.
The Fire Queen steam-yacht, under the temporary
command of Mr. Allen, with the crew of the Undine
(the latter being under repair, with her masts and
funnel out, alongside the dockyard) sails this evening
for Plymouth with two deserters belonging to the
