THE WILD SPORTS OF THE PRAIRIES.
This Day is published, post Bye. 65.,
TRAVELS in MEXICO, with ADVENTURES
among the WILD TRIBES and ANIMALS of the PRAIRIES
and ROCKY MOUNTAINS. By G. F. BUXTON, Esq.
" Mr. Buxton's work is crowded with the wildest adventures, that,
from the epening page to the close, rivet the attention. It has that
reality which makes Melville's Types and South Sea Adventures'
so charming and fresh. It has none of the homeliness of Robinson
Crusoe, but the adventures are as startling."—Economist.

lIIAMOND OIL LAMP.-NEW LIGHT.
./ The Diamond Lamp is the best light in the werld—is used in
all the palaces in Europe—is free from all the imperfections of ordi-
nary oil lamps—so simple it cannot be mismanaged—no cleaning re-
quired for years—costs less in burning than any common oil lamp—
gives double the light of candle lamps, at one-half the expense—this
is beyond doubt. Designs suited to every taste—the Diamond Lamp
is perfection in Light—the public will have none other—it can be
IU-ea to any person's lamp pillar.

Company, RICHARD CLARK, Resident Manager, 447, West Strand.

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 made for the pre-
servation of life and property either at Sea or on Land.

AT SEA
numerous ships it has already sated, and the captains gratefully ac-
knowledge the glerioas results. Two testimonial extracts shall
sufilee 7

" Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, states that the Feentain
Pump being fitted in the Caroline, its great power was the means of
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 oat
at sea,' and soon after her common pump cheaked and became use-
less. • Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foun-
tain Pimp, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was in ac-
tion without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely in London,
with a think God for the Fountain Pump."

ON LAND
the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service than e.
fire brigade. They act instantaneously at the outbreak if a fire.

" eve are delighted with the invention—it is a great boo' to so-
ciety."—Editors Liverpool Mail.
The New Portable Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of
Norwich from destruction, fbr out of eighteen different properties on
fire 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. Hortea's dyery, and 12,0001. worth of consigned pro-
perty; Stoke mustard, starch, and flour mills, and Messrs. Butcher's
grocery warehouses, jast in time to prevent a large quantity of gun-
powder therein from exploding, which must have spread areand de-
straction and death.

" North Walstam.—lt this dre the Portable Engine was of great
ser►ice, and by having one of them ready, there is no doubt but half
the property now destroyed might hare been saved."—Norfolk Chro-
nicle, August 22, 1846.
At a Norwich fire Jane 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 largo engines present
proved useless.

Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozen atme-
spheres.
Now the fast is this, all former Force Pumps, Lift-farce 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 Matteis, with many other eminent experimenters, lamented
thus :—The quantity of water actually raised by any snacking seldom
exceecs half the power consumed, after overcoming friction and
leakage ; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world hid
tried in vain for twe thousand years to abate these palpable defects
in hydraulic machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is won, and
won for ever ; for ftiction and leakage are now both annihilated by
the new rolling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented from
twelve to twenty (sr about seventy per cent.), and frequently with-
out mere outlay.
Most men can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 40 seconds, bit
some men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric-
tion Pump an active sounthwinded young man of 140 lbs. weight can
raiae'lo,9oo`lbs. 'of /titer one (dot high hi h minute, and with a Foun-
tain Pump 9;005 lbs: in -half a minute. 'This a continual and most
extraordinary, lucrative advantage Is gained ever perpetual and uni-
versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power.
Menton _Roberts, Esq., in, his popular work, No. 1,110, did
well in placing Gosset's French Pump Abortion (that slaps the water
upward) Ude by side with the Fountain Pump, which upset a good
deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump-
maker, Mr. Baddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr.
Ewbank, America; an igiorant pump book-maker, asserted that the
two ptunps were identical. But the, Yankee out-fooled John Bull'
and Paddy in No. I,IN, and in Islo. 496, Book-maker Millington's
remarks are preposterous. However, on the other hand, Dr. Birk-
beck, Abirdour, Haj",-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-
able character:—The Fountain Pump is the most important improve-
ment in the art of raising water that has appeared within the last two
thousand years—the greatest advaicennnt in the useful arts in
modern times. _ • . .

The Consummation Fountain rumps-ire successfully carried out
for private and publle lees, at lifts below and above 100 tet altitude,
for 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 competition ridiculous, wlailst their durability is guaranteed
at leas cost tkan common pumps.

are continually resorted to. This breach of the law 12 acquiesced ix
by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im-
possibility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue witk
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 nes been iuvented. This
invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which
by means of elastic springs contreets 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 supplied at intervals with
universal spring joints, capable of taming even a right angle
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 mato most
perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated
by tke fact, that it is 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 anneal con-
tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well
as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prespeetasee
may be obtained, and a werking model of the machine seen, at the

Numberless and well-authenieated cases whieh hitherto had been
considered as incurable by the Faculty, and which in a short time
have given way under this treatment, are most unequivocal proofs of
its superiority over every other means as yet employed. t was for
a long period of time a desideratum to discover a mode of cure
adapted to all constitutions, and which should be free from the bane-
ful effects of mercury. Ws are now arrived it. tho solution of this
problem by the discovery of a mode of treatment at once simple and
easy, and which, without any degree of exaggeration, we can affirm
to be infallible is the cure of all secret maladies, however inveterate
or of long standing. The method of sure, according to Dr. Albert, is
economical aid easy, .either at home or on a journey, causing not tho
slightest derangement to the general health, and safe in all seasons

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and tts true source in every instance disclosed, ia how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications aid their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
die nature and conseqnence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
arc productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
4.natoray and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, aid
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what intbic-ct can
be of more impertance than the preservation of tlie health,
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habitd, whether acquired
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 cllscAnsination In ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
rne,ical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal
qualification; that he is entitled to esteem aid respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost coifideace should be extended. Dr.
LAME LIT has obtained the highest mediae' honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

DUBLIN, JAN. 17.—The Poor-law Commissioners
have forwarded to Mr. nugh Morgan Tuite, of Tonna,
Westmeath, the following important communication
in reply to a letter from bim, objecting to stone-
breaking as a test for the able-bodied paupers receiving
out-dcor relief. The Commissioners adhere to the
principle of their regulation, but only as a test at the
outset, promising to sanction more useful labour if
circumstances should render a modification necessary,
but positively refusing, in any event, to permit pauper
labour on private farms :
" Poor-law Commission Office,
Dublin, Jan. 13, 1848.
" Sir,—The Commissioners for administering the
laws for relief of the poor in Ireland have had under
consideration your communication of the 6th instant,
in which you state objections to the employment of
paupers receiving out-door relief in theMullingarUnion
in stone-breaking, and you suggest that it would be
more preferable to employ them in useful and remu-
nerative works, such as repairing roads, and in
fencing, trenching, and draining land, whereby you
state that the labourers would not be congregated
together in large numbers (which you deem objec-
tionable), but would be scattered over the country in
small numbers, under the superintendence of persons
interested in the welfare of the country, and of the
works in progress, thereby avoiding the great expense
of superintendents.
"In reference thereto the Commissioners desire to
state, that in recommending stone breaking as the
him! of employment which should be offered to the
destitute able-bodied poor in the first instance, the
Commissioners did not contemplate the permanent
employment of many thousands of individuals in
nothing else but stone-breaking. The view which
the Commissioners have taken of the subject has been,
That whereas all experience has shown that the
granting relief to able-bodied men, without some
rigid test, is liable to 'great —abuses, and whereas
stone-breaking is less attractive and more capable of
effectual superintendence than any other kind of out-
door labour on a large scale, it is advisable for
guardians to begin by offering stone-breaking to
applicants, when there is no longer any vacant
workhouse accommodation' in the union.

" With reference to the expense in paying
overseers of work, the Commissioners have to express
their entire conviction that efficient superintendents
of labour would save the union far more than the
amount of their own salaries, by preventing imposi-
tion and fraud. Similar objections were raised in
England, in 1834, to the expense of workhouses, but
notwithstanding the immediate expense arising from
the building of workhouses, and the salaries to work-
house officers, the total reduction of expense in the
first year was, in some unions, 20, 30, and even 50
per cent. In fact, it is to be borne in mind that, if
any system of relief is attractive, one of the chief
sources of expense arises from the great number of
improper objects to whom such relief is administered,
and hence arrangements by which the abuse is
checked are found, in the long run, to be really
economical, although the system of arrangement may
be apparently expensive.
" The commissioners, therefore, trust that a fair
trial will be given to the experiment of stone break-
ing, as a test of destitution in Mulingar union; and
if the number of able-bodied men on the relief lists
still remain the same as before, the commissioners
will endeavour to forward the views of the guardians
in reference to the completion of the unfinished
roads.

" The 'commissioners have only to add, that they
would not, under any circumstances or consideration,
deem themselves justified in permitting the employ-
ment of paupers on private farms. It is an essential
principle in sny sound system of poor-law adminis-
tered, that relief and wages should be kept totally-
distinct, and that a destitute able-bodied man should
either be'relieved wholly by the union, or employed
wholly by the,party for whomile works.
"The commissioners are convinced that the in--
fringement of this principle would lead to pernicious
consequences, and by making employers of labour
suppose that they had a pecuniary interest in intro—
ducing a system of, out-door relief to the-able-bodied.
men, it would eventually entail - an enormous burden
on the poor-rates, which the property of the_union
would be wholly unable to support.
By order of the commissioners,

same occurs every day. While undergoing the term
of their sentences they will get food, but what will
become of them afterwards."

The Corkßeporter gives a statement of increasing
destitution in various parts of the county, and of
some deaths from starvation.
STATE OF CRIME.
There are not many new outrages, but the pro-
ceedings of the Quarter Sessions Courts, as well as
the special commission, exhibit a fearful array of
crime.
At the Tralee Quarter Sessions, last week, a con-
siderable number of prisoners were sentenced to
transportation, chiefly for the stealing of cattle. Ten
persons pleaded guilty .to a charge of riot, in oppos-
ing the collection of the poor-rite, which, however,
they had subsequently paid. They were sentenced
to various terms of imprisonment. The assistant-
barrister, Mr. M‘Dermott, remarked that the persons
concerned in plundering cattle by wholesale in the
county of Kerry, belonged to the better class of the
peasantry, and were far removed from a state of desti-
tution.
The Tipperary Constitution gives the following as
an illustration of the good effects of the conviction of
Frewen, at the Limerick Special Commission for har-
murderer
bourieg a Already has the conviction
of Frewen, sentenced to transportation for life, for
sheltering the murderer Ryan (Puck), at the Special
Commission in Limerick, been attended with the
most salutary result ; and we are happy to state that
those results have originated within a few miles
of our town. Some time since we gave an account
of the capture of two brothers named Cody,
charged with the murder of a man named
Madden, near Glesbower—and, upon that occasion,
we detailed the difficulty with which their capture
was effected. Since that period a third brother,
charged with the same offence, has been on his
and of course,keeping,' must have received shelter
from the neighbours. However, when the conviction
of Frewen was noised abroad, it caused a general
panic amongst the shelterers, and all determined to
avoid the risk of a similar sentence. The result has
been—that every door has been closed in the face of
the third Cody, and on Wednesday he came into
town and surrendered himself."
Hionwat ROBBERY OF A PAY CLmtK.—On the
Bth instant Mr. Brunker, of Ardee, whilst on his way
to Wilkinstown, wasaY persons employed by the
Board of Works, attacked by two fellows, one
of whom presented a pistolj at him, whilst the other,
after a desperate struggle, made off, with his cash-box
containing 271. The robbers have been apprehended,
and commited to Trim goal.
ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—On Friday night last a
man of Mr. Parker's, near Portroe, within a few miles
of Nenagh, was fired at, but fortunately the shots did
not take effect. Two persons have been arrested for
the offence, and it is stated that they have been fully
identified. They are tenants of Mr. Parker.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION,
The weekly meeting of the association was held
this day in Conciliation Hall. Joseph H. Dunne,
Esq., presided. The chairman commenced the pro-
ceedings by a speech in condemnation of the conduct
of the recently-elected Lord Mayor (Mr. Jeremiah
Dunne), because that functionary, at his inaugural
dinner, omitted to include amongst the toasts, " The
memory of O'Connell." Mr. John O'Connell also
referred to the subject. Having acquitted the Lord
Mayor of any wilful design to cast slight or disre-
spect on the memory of his father, the Hon. Gentle-
man referred to an article in the Dublin Evening
Post, in reference to the manner in which the Lord-
Lieutenant had been received at the Lord Mayor's
dinner by the citizens of Dublin, who thereby, it was said
had expressel their approval of the policy he has
adopted. Now he (Mr. O'Connell) denied that the
citizens :of Dublin had expressed any approbation
whatever of the policy of her Majesty's Government.
In fact, the cheers given were only to be considered
as a compliment to the official personage, and had no
reference to the policy he pursued.—
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. John O'Connell had to hand in several contri-
butions from tile Catholic clergy, mainly of the west
of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) Through Dean Burke,
of Westport,county MaYO, he had received 2, 1. ; from
