The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of
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 acqmieseed in
by a large portion of the public, from a convictiGn of the niter im
po.t,sibility in innumeral4le cases of cleansing a chimney or fine with
the slit 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
treating an even pressure on all four 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 angle
and the whole is surmounted with a dogble revolving ball, having
also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty
past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route mut
perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated
by the fact, that it is exclusively used hi. 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 seen, at the
offices of the solicitor, F, Dolman, Esq., 39, Jermyn-street, St.
James's; at Messrs. Barry and Co.'s, brokers, 7, Itirchin-lane ; at
W. Heath, Esq.'s, Nag's Head-court, Gracechurch-street; and at the
principal office, 1, Wellington-street, London-bridge, Borough, where
applications for shares may be addressed.

RAISING 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 slacte for the pre-
servatioa of life and property- either at Sea or on 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 tho Caroline, its great power was the means *I
saving the ship and 230 souls on board, two seams in the bottom
being partly loft without calking."
" The Argus brig, from Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days ont
at sea, and soon after her common pump choaked rnd became use-
less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foun-
tain Pump, which for nineteen days and eight,-:t nights was In ac-
tio. 'without a ailnutoto r,,amte. when all armved safely In London,
with a thank (lad for the Fountain Pump."

ON LAND
the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely bettor service than a
fire brigade. They net instantaneously at the outbreak of a fire.
" We are delighted with the invention—it is a great boon to so-
clety."—PAltors Liverpool Mail.
The New Portable Fire-engines have preserved a largo portion of
Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on
firs in and near the city, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly,
including in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and in the
eleven, Messrs. liorton's dyery, and 12,000/. worth of consigneli pro-
perty ; Stoke mustard, starch, a:id flour mils, and klessrs. Butcher's
grocery warehouses, just in time to prevent a large quantity of gun-
powder therein from exploding, which must have spread around de-
strnetion and death.
" Nortk Walsham.—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."—Norfylk 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, feed 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 atmo-
spheres.

Now the fact Is this, all former Force rumps, Lift-force Pumps,
Lift Primps, and Chain Pumps are had machines: they rub, grub, and
scrape the water upw ants by friction. which wastes two-fifths of the
power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young
and Hatton, with many other eminent experimenters, lamented
thus ;—The quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom
exceeis half the power 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 men can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 40 seconds, but
some men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric-
tion Pump an active sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can
raise 10,000 lbs. of water one foot high in a minute, anti with a Foun-
tain Pump 9,000 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 Clenton Roberts, Esl., in his popular work, No. 1,110, did
well in placing Gosset's French Pump Abortion (that slaps the water
upward) side by side with the Fountain Pump, which upset a good
deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump-
maker, Mr. iladdley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr.
Ewbank, America, an iguorant pump book-maker, asserted that the
two pumps were Identical. But the Yankee eut-fooled John Bull
and Paddy in No. 1,183, and in No. 496, Book-maker Millington's
remarks aro preposterous. However, en the other hand, Dr. Birk-
beck, Aberdour, Ilay, Parkington, with many other discerning men,
after witnessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the,
rolling principle, gave the invention the following true and sustain.
aide rhas-acter:—The Fountain Pump is the most importaut improve-
ment lit the art of raising water that has a pr:ir,d within the last two
thousand years—the greatest advancement in the useful arts in
modern times.

The Consummation Fountain Pumps are successfully carried out
for private and public uses, at lifts below and above 100 feet altitude,
for man, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per
stroke t• 100 barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair
trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed
at less coot than sommon pumps.

BRITISII COLLEGE OF lIEALTH,
NEW-ROAD, LONDON.
Report of Richard Tothill, Esq., of lleavitree, near Exeter,
M.R.C.S.L., for 1848.
" I have new for thirteen years conducted the Exeter Hygelan Dis-
pensary, wherein the poor of Exeter and its neighbourhood have been
treated gratuitously with Mr. Morison's purely Vegetable Medicine
of the British College of Health, and I am still more confirmed in my
opinion (from practical experience, not in one or two cases, but in
hundreds), that the llygeian system is founded in truth. The cases
which have been cured by that excellent medicine have not been of
a common character, being, as I may say, the incurables of the hos-
pitals at Exeter, it being only after trying all sorts of treatment that
patients have recourse, as a last resort, to the llygeian medicines.
The names of the parties and their addresses are recorded in my
book for the inspection of the public. I have treated upwards of 300
poor patients during the past year, and have now about 150 on the
Dispensary books. In conclusion, I beg to return mt sincere thanks
to the subscribers to the Dispensary.

of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret nn-

and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-

ELOPEMENT.—An affair of this kind has taken
place at Penzance, and has enlivened the dulness of per-
sons young anti old at this gloomy season, by giving
birth to a little gossip. The runaway parties in the pre-
sent case were not a loving young lady and an amorous
swain, but more unhappy, a married woman and a
widower. The husband discovered on Sunday last that
the fickle spouse had deserted her home, with all its
enjoyments, and had run truant with another gentleman,
whose attractions must have been (in the lady's eyes) of
a superior order to his own. But, not liking to be
tricked in this or any other way, he darted off in pursuit,
with much sagacity, struck on the right scent, heard of
the fugitives at ltedruth, accelerated his speed, and at
Truro overtook the object of his pursuit comfortably
riding in a carriage and pair. What passed between the
injured and indignant husband and the guilty paramour
has not been revealed, and therefore cannot be told, but
the indiscreet lady was thenceforth brought back to the
home of her rightful lord and master, who has engaged
to keep her, " for better, for worse," all the days of her
life. This, however, appears to be a difficult matter,
for it is said that she has since escaped a second time,
and embarked on board the steamer for Bristol.—Corn-
wall Paper.
TnE NORTII ESS FISIIING.—The season for sal-
mon has opened rather unfavourably this year. Mr.
Straton's first night's fishin only numbered some half-
a•dozen. Mr. Tayler of ltirktonhill was, we believe,
more fortunate—his men having caught somewhere about
thirty—but, upon the whole, the opening has not been
satisfactory.—Montrose Standard.

LAW INTELLIGENCE•

COURT OF QUEEZYS BENCH, Feb. 8.
(Sittings at Nisi Prim, at Westminster, before Mr.
Justice ERLE, and Common Juries.)
MINISTER V. CHAPPELL.

This was an action brought to recover compensa-
tion in damages for a libel published by the de-
fendant, of, and concerning the plaintiff, under rather
peculiar circumstances, connected with the novel
combination of tailoring and authorship.
Mr. Ilumfrey, Q.C., appeared for the plaintiff;
the defendant's case was conducted by Mr. Sergeant
Shee.

Plaintiff and defendant have achieved a reputation
for themselves as " fashionable tailors," and carry on
their business at that fashionable emporium of Lon-
don, known as the West end. The old adage, "Two
of a trade can never agree," was verified in the pro•
ceedings ; the plaintiff and defendant became rivals,
not, perhaps, so much in their own peculiar business,
as in the more ambitious calling of editors of
rival publications, which they started fur the pur-
pose of giving more e•lat t') their respective houses.
This was carrying on tailoring on classic ground—an
elevated principle, but was an excellent idea, and
original. Defendant was the first to place his name
on the literary rota, and gave to his publication the
title of the Lion; and from 1845, when he started it,
down to 1846, when the plaintiff entered the lists, he
revelled in his work undisturb?d, and wrote up his
business in its various branches, cut and workmanship.
In July, 1846, the plaintiff, who ambitioned to be a
tailor-author, gave to his publication the high sound-
ing and somewhat well-fitted title of the Gazette of
Fashion. The defendant, who certainly deserves the
credit of being the originator of this mode of assisting
to push business, and of giving the public a better idea
of its principles, in order to make his work more at-
, tractive, entered into an arreng!.ment with M. Lefuette,
for continuous supplies of illustrative plates, and de-
fendant, when he brought out his work, borrowing
the hint, also gave an order to M. Lefuette to
execute for him a series of Pari.sian designs. This
gave to his publication a similarity to the plaintiff's,
and was considered, by the latter, to deteriorate the
value of the original /ion, Defendant, however,
went farther, and as if not satisfied with the title first
given by him to his work, of the Gazette of Fashion,
added to it, the words et Le Lion, a clear infringement
of title, which the plaintiff considered himself called
upon to resist. Among other characters in which
the plaintiff held himself out to the world, was that
of " habit-maker to the Queen;" and the defendant
considering this an assumption, cast discredit upon it
in one of the numbers of his Gazette of Fashion et
Le Lion, and described the plaintiff as guilty of a
liberty in stating and describing himself as habit-
maker to his (the defendant's) Sovereign. This
insinuation was contained in a letter purporting to be
from a " Correspondent." and was followed by a
series of publications, in which there were many smart
things said and written, and which finally resulted in
the present action.

The jury considered that the plaintiff was justified
in his proceeding, and gaTc a verdict in his favour—
Damages, 403.

SEDUCTION.-TIDBUR r. BRYANT.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff to re-
cover compensation in damages for the lo:s of the ser-
vices of his daughter-in-law, CarAine Floyd, occa-
sioned by the seduction of the defendant.
Mr. Crowder, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Atherton),
appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Humfrey, Q.C. (with
whom was Mr. Lush), conducted the case for the
defendant.

Mr, CROWDER stated the case, from which it ap-
pe::red that the defendant, who holds a situation in
the Treasury-office of the Temple, formed an inti-
macy with the young woman, Caroline Floyd, which
resulted in her giving birth to a child. It would be
insinuated (the Learned Gentleman said) that the
defendant was not the father of the child ; but he
would satisfy the Court and the jury that the defence
could not be supported. The Learned Gentleman
then called

Caroline Floyd, who deposed that she was the
daughter of the plaintiff's wife by a former husband,
and that she is now 22 years of age, and ever since
the plaintiff's marriage with her mother-in-law, 19
years ago, she lived with them. Plaintiff was for-
merly a horsekeeper at the George Inn, Fulham, but
lives at present near Parson's-green. Witness's
mother is a laundress, and she (witness) attended to
the house for her. The defendant is a clerk in the
Treasury of the Temple, and first became known to
witness in February, 1846. She since kept up an
acquaintance with him, and was employed by him in
March of that year, to make him a set of 3hirts. She
made the shirts at home, Bryant came to see her
nearly every night during the time she was making
them. Her mother was sometimes at home on the
occasions of his visits. Witness became intimate with
him, and in November of the same year discovered she
was in the family= way, and in December she communi-
cated herimpressions to him. He askedher she knew
a Mr. Howard and a Mr. Ford. She amavered, she
knew the former, but not the latter, lat had not
known Mr. Howard since she knew him (the de-
fendant). Witness went to defendant en many
occasions after this, until the month of March last.
He said, in December, he would allow her half a
crown a week when the child was born, but she said
she would not take it unless he would give it to her
from the time she was in the family way. His an-
swer was, that he would allow her as much as the
parish would, and that she might have it weekly,
or quarterly. He further said that he could
a letter to the Lying-in-Hospital, and that
giveniwteo herlul'ltdhc)' cost him three guineas ; and that after her
confinement she could go out to service, and put the
child out to nurse. Upon one occasion defendant told
her in the month of December that " she had better give
the litee devil prussic acid." This was when she was
asking 1-.itn to keep her while she was in her confine-
Defendant, in
ment. presence of witness's mother,
said he could not afford to keep her, but that he would
d ) whatever the law allowed. Witness, in April of
the last year, was delivered of a male child, of which
the defendant was the father. She had been unable
to do any work since the September previous to the
birth of the child, being too ill in consequence of her
pregnancy. The baby-linen was bought for her by
her father and mother. She had medical attendance
for some time prior to her confinement ; and her
mother, in consequence of her (witness's)) state, was
obliged to obtain and prey for assistance in her place
for five weeks, at the rate of 7s. 6(1. a week ; and to
another young woman she was obliged to pay 3s. per
week, for twelve weeks, to assist her. Her father paid
the expenses of her confinement.
Cross-examined—She has neither brother nor
sister. The defendant was not the first man who
had illicit intercourse with her. Mr. Howard, as-
sistant to Mr. Rouse, the surgeon, by whom she was
haattdeniads was for three years in habits of improperd intercourse
with her in that way ; but their intimacy
for six months before she became ac-
quainted with the defendant. She went before a
magistrate in June last to swear the child against
the defendant. The magistrate heard all the de
fendant's counsel and attorney chose to advance
against her, but not the whole of what she had to
state. When she was before the magistrate she said
she had not known Mr. Howard since she had been
lfleincicitanitntercouree with him.
; but she did not say
She did not see Mr. Howard to-day, in the court,
atletagtuasinhetedn\e'v'
but met him at Hammersmith,
iet hr thhaed dei
when on her way
to court. Her mother did not know that she
was improperly intimate with Mr. Howard until
now. Her application at the Hammersmith Police-
court was dismissed. What she had said at that
court was, that she had not had any illicit intercourse
with Mr. Howard since she knew the defendant. The
attorney whom her father employed to conduct her
case, asked her if she had had any familiar intercourse
with Mr. Howard, and she informed him she had not.
She had seen that gentleman about the court this
morning, but had not seen him since he left Mr.
Rouse's until the present occasion. He attended her
baby when he was ill, as the assistant of Mr. Rouse.
The latter gentleman attended her in her confinement,
and when she was laid up Mr. Howard attended her
when Mr. Rouse could not come. She had been
told Mr. Howard was brought to the court by the
defendant as a witness against her. She had seen
Mr. Howard from time to time, for two months, after
her confinement, but he had not been to see her since
his professional attendance ceased. Mr. 'Toward was
her " first love." She had not made any inquiries
as to where he had gone to live, notwithstanding he
was her " first love.' They did not quarrel when
they parted.
Re-examined—Mr. Howard did not come there to
be a witness in her behalf. She had never told any
one that she had had improper intimacy with him
until now, when the statement was for the first timepublicly elicited from her. Defendant had counsel
end attorney at the police court, at Hammersmith ;
but witness had neither, and her case was dismissed.
" She swore that she had not had any improper inter-
course with Howard for six months preceding her
intimacy with the defendant, nor with any other
man. Some weeks before her child was born, Mr.
Rouse had said that he would not attend her in her
confinement unless some other professional man was
with him at the time, because it had been rumoured
that the child had been poisoned while she was bear-
ing it, and when the confinement took place, Mr.
Howard was called in.
