TII E UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER.
30 to 50 per Cent. Saved !
To be had at the Patentees, 60., St. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross.
The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts,
Ile advantages resulting fYen 1 the invention are various and
striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the com-
bustion is perfect, and the brill.,arfcy produced superior to any light
hitherto discovered. It emits -neither smell nor smoke, and burns
steadily for any period ; and sucl t is its purity, that it neither affects
or soils the most delicate colour i,r the finest fabric. Objections have
made to the introduction of gas b 1 dwelling-houses, to the expense of
fittings, to its destruction of furn .tore, draperies, gold moulding, Ice. ;
these are entirely obviated boy the. "PATENT UNIVERSAL GAS
BURNER." As the cost of laying on gas is muck lower than is com-
monly supposed, it is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for
club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the
small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum
immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of
waste or trouble.
The merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing
every other known light, ezue shown by the annexed ,authentic
opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER.
Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers,
Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, Sir Jolts RENNIE, President, in the Chair.
" A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited.
The principal novelty was this :introduction of a stream of air to the
centre of the flame by a holl.o, button in the middle of the burner.
The air passing up through • the hollow stem of the button, was
heated, and passed out by two a cries of fire-holes around the periplery,
and impinging with force on. tY ie flame of the gas curved It outwards
in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with
the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion,
The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady,
as was amply demonstrated b:r the excellent light of the Institution,
where these burners have 'beat used. In comparing the consumption
of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying
the power of the two light sby the photometer, the new burner gave a
better ght, with a waving: of rather more than one-third."

THE REGISTRATIONS.
CITY OF LONDON.
The revision of the householders' lists was proceeded
with at ten o'clock on Thursday morning by the Revising
Barrister.
George Henry Wright appeared in the list with the
following description attached to his name :—Place of
abode: 31, Shepperton-cottages, New North-road, Isling-
ton. Nature of qualification : tenant to Mr. Bond, at a
yearly rent of 501. Place where the property is si'uate:
45, Cornhill, being a successive occupation from No. 12,
Moorgate• street, in the parish of —, Coleman-street,
and previously 3, Spread Eagle-court, in the parish of
St. Benet Fink.
Mr. Browne applied to have the name expunged, and
his application was founded on the manner in which the
qualification was described, and which, he submitted, was
not sufficient.
The BARRISTER observed that the qualification as de-
scribed was insufficient ; it looked to him like a county
qualification, and he must expunge the name.

SHIPWRECK.

MORETON BAY, AUG. 13.—This port has again
afforded a place of refuge to a shipwrecked crew, cast
away among the numerous reefs to the northward on the
17th of July last. The particulars of the loss of this
vessel are here subjoined : Schooner Dundee Mer-
chant, Owen Davis master, of and from Hobart Town,
the sth of January last, upon a whaUng voyage, was,
whilst cruising on the east coast of New Holland, set
(before daylight of the morning of the 11th ult.) by the
current upon the extensive reefs stretching out from
New Caledonia. Owing to the chronometer being broken,
and thereby rendered useless, the vessel had, by being
worked by dead reckoning, got nigh upon 200 miles out of
her course ; no indication of the vicinity of danger was
observed the evening before the unfortunate occurrence,
nor was any broken water discovered by the watch pre-
vious to the vessel striking, and it was only upon day-
light breaking they were enabled to discover their true
position. A very short time after the schooner grounded
she bilged, all hopes were therefore at once abandoned
of saving the craft, and instant preparations made to
leave the wreck in the three whale boats. A small
quantity of biscuit, about two cwt., was got into the
boats, with a few breakers of water, with which the
boats shoved off to a small sandy island lying about 12
miles distant, at which place they remained two days,
fitting their little crafts with canvas wash-streaks, to en-
able them to contend against the boisterous waves. Finding
it impossible to get to windward so as to fetch New Cale-
donia, they bore away for New Holland, the Northum-
berland Isles were sighted on the 24th ult., and they were
enabled to land shortly afterwards on this coast, near
Kepple Bay, to procure water ; as usual, te blacs
watched an opportunity to attack the weary marh iners,k at
a moment when they were unfortunately unprepared,
their fire-arms being unloaded, having previously been
fired off at some birds ; upon the men retreating to their
boats, one Poor fellow received a spear wound in
his breast, several others had very narrow escapes,
spears passing through their clothes, and the feet of
those who were very destitute of shoes were much
cut and lacerated with running over the oyster-shells ;
fortunately the whole got into the boats and pushed elf
from this inhospitable shore, leaving behind some of
their water-kegs. After enduring incredible hardships
and privations, by land and sea, they made this
port on the 31 instant, when happily the schooner Wil-
liam was working up to the river; Captain Ereeman
immediately administered to their inclividual wants, and
brought the whole ,q them, 15 in nun:be:r, to L'lisb.tue.

passage to Sydney to the master and mate. with four of

THE HEALTH OF TOWNS ASSO-

Lions were received from Sheffield, and other p'acc s
where branch associations have been formed.
FEVER AT MINCHINHAZIPToN FROM TIIE EXPOSURE OF
HUMAN ReMAINS REMOVED FROM CHURCHYARD.
Dr. SoUTHWOOD SMITH, in moving the appointment
of a select committee to consider and report upon the
provisions of Mr. Mackinnon's Bill, for the prevention of
interments in large towns, said that he had to lay before
the committee some correspondence, developing the
cause of an epidemic fever which had broken out and
ravaged the small town of Minchinhampton. He con-
ceived it most important that this correspondence should
be laid' before the proper authorities and the public,
as it could scarcely fail to establish the conclusion,
that those provisions which it was at present
contemplated to confine to the larger towAs,
should be extended to the smaller towns, and that
to new churches, whether erected in towns, or id the
rural districts, common grave yards should no longer be
attached. The facts contained in the correspondence to
which he wished attention to be given were most im-
portant in relation to the physical question as to grave-
yard emancipations. In his report on the practice of
interments, Mr. Chadwick had adduced evidence de-
monstrative of the conclusion that the emanations from
human remains, in a state of decomposition, were noxious
in their effects on human life. He regarded this corres-
pondence as a striking illustration of this fact, and he
thought it important to give it publicity, because the
public are often more impressed by a single case than
by a volume of evidence. The first letter he had re-
ceived was as follows—(Letter No. 1.) To this ho had
sent the following reply—(No. 2.) The information he
had received in reply afforded further illustration—
(No. 3.) To this he had given the following reply—
(No. 4.) And a further correscondence took place as
follows—(Nos. 5 and 6.) To those who really understood
the subject, there was nothing extraordinary in all this ;
what was extraordinary was, that whets interments in
towns had been prohibited, even in Spain, such facts
should continue to be resisted in this country.
The motion for the appointment of a special com-
mittee was agreed to unanimously, and it was ordered
that the correspondent: should be referred to it, and
that a copy of it should be forwarded to Mr. Chadwick
for his information :

SECOND COURT-MARTIAL AT CHATHAM:A

the same gallant officer has had Captain Bull tried. The
prisoner pleaded not guilty. Major Shadford was the.
principal witness, and izave the same testimony as on the
former trial ; he was cross-examined by the prisoner ;
and after hearing two other officers, who gave corrobo-
rative testimony, the court adjourned to this day, when
Lieutenar t Grant's defence will be entered upon.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

THE BROAD GAUGE

. On Thursday further experimental trips were made
on the Great Western, to test the tractive capacity of the
broad gauge engines with the heaviest goods trains. The
trains were of extraordinary tonnage, and the sped and
power attained remarkable. The down trip train was 200
tons, exclusive of engine and tender, and consisted of
about 28 trucks, weighted to a gross load with coal.
It was drawn by the Hercules, 22 tons weight, with
six wheels all coupled, at. d seven foot driving wheel,
cylinder 16 inches, stroke 18 inches, fire-box
97 square feet, tube 60 feet. The Ixion, late ly use.d
in the experimental passenger train trips, followed in
the rear, also weighted with coal to a gross load of 200
tons, so as to furnish the' Hercules, on if,s return trip to
Paddington with a gross load of 400 tons. The Ixion,
from being overworked in her late trip, broke her piston
rod on the road soon after passing Slough, eind was re-
lieved by the engine Pollux. The down train started
with fair weather and light south-west wind from the
first mile-post at 1011. 27m. 555.. and arrived at Dideot,
52 miles, at lh. sm. ls., making the time occupied in
the down trip 2h. 27m. 6s. ; but deducting the time for
seven stoppages, amounting altogether to 42m. 205., the
trip was accomplished in 54m. 465., being at the rate of
about 27 miles an hour.
The following is a table of the working and mean
practical results:—

FREE TRADE DEMONSTRATION

AT LANCASTER.
On Monday last a public meeting convened by re-
quisition, was held in the Town-hall, to petition Govern-
ment for the immediate removal of all restrictions on
the importation of foreign grain and provisions. Shortly
after twelve o'clock the spacious edifice was filled almost
to suffocation, the audience comprising persons diame-
trically opposed to each •other in general politics, but
unanimous in feeling as regarded the object which had
brought them together. Amongst other gentlemen on
the platform, we noticed T. 11. Bateman, Esq., of Halton-
park; John Armstong, Esq., of Acrelands ; T. H. Hig-
gin, Esq., of Greenfield; James Johnson, Esq., M.D.,

COURT CIRCULAR.

The Queen and Prince Albert drove out in a pony
phaeton on Wednesday afternoon, his Royal Highness
driving. Colonel Bouverie attended on horseback.

Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, Prince
Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, were
taken an airing on Wednesday afternoon.
Yesterday morning her Majesty and her Royal Con-
sort took their accustomed early walk in Claremont
Park. Prince Albert afterwards went out shooting, at-
tended by Mr. Anson, Colonel Bouverie, and Colonel
Bowles.

The Royal Family were all taken airings in Clare-
mont Park yesterday morning.

Baron de Moacorvo, the Portuguese Minister, trans-
acted business yesterday at the Foreign-office.

DERBY MAIL.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
The early mail train from Derby being too late in
Birmingham on Sunday morning last to go forward to
Liverpool, the bags, containing letters, &c., of very great
importance to go by the American packet, were de-
tained in Birmingham until the departure of the day
mail, which arrived in Liverpool about two hours too
late for the packet. This will be a very serious thing
for the merchants of Sheffield, Nottingham, and Derby ;
but, to make bad worse, all these letters &c., are detained
at Liverpool without the knowledge of the writers, and
perhaps will remain there for weeks.

THE SOUTHAMPTON AND ISLE

OF WIGHT MAILS.

CONVES, JAN. B.—The Government have it in contem-
plation to have the mail steamer for Cowes leave this
port at half-past three o'clock in the morning, and leave
Cowes for Southampton at nine o'clock in the evening
instead of at five o'clock, as at present. This will be a
great accommodation to the inhabitants of Ventnor, as
they will have their London letters by eight o'clock, A.M.,
and till nearly seven, P.M., to answer them, which now
must be done before three, P.M. Newport will obtain a
similar accommodation. The inhabitants of Cowes will
only be benefited in the departure of the mail being
four hours later. The mail tram does not leave South-
ampton till two o'clock next morning, and the Isle of
Wight letters are delayed here from half-past six in the
evening till that hour. During the time Sir Robert Peel
.had resigned office, it was necessary to send a royal mes-
senger from Osborne House to London at seven o'clock
in the evening, but the mail steamers had left at five
o'clock, and there was not another steamer to be got ;
the Hero pilot-boat was, therefore, hired to take the dis•
patches, but the wind and tide both being down the
river, they could nut get here, but were obliged to go to
Portsmouth. Iler Majesty's residence at Cowes may.
therefore, have something to do with the proposed alte-
rations. We hope the extra labour which will fall on
the masters of steamers, and all connected with the con-
veyance of the mails, will not be forgotten, but that an
ample remuneration will be paid them. The time at the
Cowes Post-office will be doubled, and nearly lo at the
others, and should be paid for.

MR. WAGEORN'S EXPRESS.—We have been re-
quested to contradict one of the numerous misrepresentations
on this subject. We believe the experiment was made by
Mr. Waghorn at his own expense. He offered to bring the
dispatches for all the morning papers, and he did so. He
certainly was not employed by us, nor paid by us, for the
experiment, or for the carriage of our dispatch. We subse-
quently subscribed to the testimonial on his behalf, but that
subscription was in no way connected with the express, and
only in acknowledgment of the great services he has per-
formed in bringing one of our most important colonies within
a month's journey.—Times, Jan. 9.
