CERTIFICATE.

" In a series of experiments made upon Clark, Ms Niell, and Co.'s
Patent Universal Gas Burner, its superiority was satisfactorily esta-
blished in economy and the quality of the light. Tested against
argand burners, Nos. 4 (12 holes), and 6 (15 holes), it afforded a
saving of at least 25 per cent., and against three fish-tail burners,
No. 4, 48 per cent. The colour and brilliancy of the flame is supe-
rior to any ether burner."

T. W. KEATES, Consulting Chemist,
J. D. PALMER, Mechanical Inspector.
The UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER is used nightly at the Poly-
technic Institution, and may be had and seen Prom 11 till 4, at the
Patentees, 60, St. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross ; and of all Gas Fitters.

DISCOVERY OF A GOLD MINE.

The existence of the most precious of all the metals
in this province has often been asserted in this journal.
not only on the assurance of the scientific and disin-
terested Mr. Meng4, who has been thought to intend that
his knowledge of the veins of auriferous bdolah should
die with him, but from other talented information, as
well as the known existence here of very remarkable
facts in mineralogical analogy. But it was only seven
days ago that surmise and hypothesis gave place to
certainty, and the demonstrative fact that we may rank
gold amongst our mineral riches—existing too, as re-
peated essays and analyses have subsequently shown, in
a state of native purity unsurpassable, if not unequalled.
To Captain Tyrrell, of the North Montacute mine,
belongs the honour of this discovery, which was brought
to light by him out of a shaft undertaken for the dis-
covery of copper ore under his directions, for " The
Victoria Mining Company," in section No. 5,597, not
far from the celebrated Montacute Copper Mine.
The auriferous vein, which is described as " abouttwo
inches big," is composed of a rich ochreous gossan,
more or less intermingled with native gold, in various
forms, and of the utmost imaginable purity, some speci-
mens having the appearance of what is called " dead
gold," and many portions possessing a high degree of
brilliancy.
As may be supposed, this '• crowning " discovery has
been the engrossing topic of the week, and the di-
rectors of the Victoria Mining Company, as elsewhere
named, after having instituted the necessary measures
to protect the property, and " guard the approaches,"
seem to have betaken themselves to the study of that
part of the royal statute entitled 5 William and Mary,
c. 6, sec. 2, in respect of which interpretations unfavour-
able to the undisturbed possession of this treasure by the
associated proprietors have rather authoritatively gone
forth. Shares in the mine have been greatly in request,
and really as well as nominally at very high premium,
but until the relative position of the proprietors with re-
spect to this newly-discovered as well as unexpected
wealth is ascertained, no rational quotation for our min-
ing share market can be propounded.
At all events our fellow-colonists now have some-
thing more to contend for, and an increased value ought
to attach to those privileges and exemptions which dis-
tinguished their royal charter of colonial initiation, and
of which the British Minister of the day has endea-
voured to deprive us, by one of the grossest instances of
political fraud and scandalous hypocritical contravention
upon record.—Adelaide Observer.

THE WELL
THINGTODAY.) STATUE.
(IS N
A large number of workmen and labourers, under the
superintendence of Mr. Wyatt and Jr.' Ellis, have been
engaged since six o'clock this morning in making pre-
parations fur the elevation of this colossal figure to its
destination at the top cf the triumphal arch on Con-
stitution-hill.
We observed Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Lord
Strangford, Colonel Angelo, Sir Frederick Tret;eh,
Colonel Montague, and several other persons of dis-
tinction, who appeared to take the greatest interest in
the description which was given by Mr. Wyatt of the
mode in which the figure was to be elevated.
The Queen Dowager and her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Gloucester intimated to Mr. Wyatt, through
Lord Strangford, their intention to be present at Apsley
House during the time that the figure is elevating.
It is not yet known at what time the elevation will
take place, but every exertion is making to forward the
preparations as quickly as possible.

RELATING TO THE SOUTHESK.
A dispatch was received at Lloyd's this morning from the
Foreign Office, enclosing a copy of a dispatch from her Ma-
jesty's Consul at Stockholm, reporting the wreck of the
schooner Southesk, particulars of which were give some time

PUGILISM.

JAMES SCULLEY AND JOSEPH ISPGEE.—These sprigs
of Southwark and Pimlico met yesterday, near Horley,
on the Brighton line, to decide their claim to fifty sove-
reigns, duly deposited, and the laurel of victory. A
shift took place, at the recommendation of a landowner,
who desired them to choose a more retired ground, and
and this was readily complied with—a proof of the order
and good behaviour which characterised the motley
assemblage. After a long mile of tramping across
ploughed fields and winter turnips, a commodious piece
of waste land presented itself, and here the commissary
pro tem. pitched his materiel, and at a little before one
o'clock the men were in position. A brid notice of the
battle must suffice. I.l‘Gee, who looked alt his friends
could wish, fought wilily and without precision, while
his antagonist, with superior game and steadiness, met
hia hasty and ill•jedged onslaughts, and after punishing
his rashness, stood erect at the close of almost every
round. bit Gee, on the contrary, when foiled in his
rush, dropped repeatedly, and several times in a manner
so questionable, as to call for a public caution from the
referee. Finally, in the G4th round, his getting down
from a mere feint of Sculley's right (which had just
before rudely visited his ribs) was so palpable that it was
declared "foul," and Sculley adjudged to have won the
fight. Time, 1 hour and 38 minutes.

AQUATICS..

The scullers' contest-between W. Bromley, of the
Lower Watergate, Deptford, and H. Cox, of the Upper
Watergate, took place yesterday. The race, which was
for 10/. aside, and the honorary distinction of champion
of Deptford, has been the theme of conversation in the
neighbourhood for some time past, and was looked for-
ward to with some anxiety by those who speculated upon
the result. The distance selected to test the powers of
the men, although not uncommon in below-bridge
matches, is certainly most unusual in those above, ex-
tending from the Halfway House up to the Dreadnought,
a course of something like eleven miles. Betting had
been almost even, Cox slightly in some circles having
the call. The Flirt steamer, which had been chartered
to accompany the race, was filled with respectable com-
pany, and several cutters and other boats were also out.
The preliminaries having been adjusted, the men ap-
peared at the station a few minutes before four o'clock.
It was a capital start, both being away at the same mo-
ment, and at a very dashing pace. In the course of a
few strokes Cox took the lead, closely followed by his
opponent. Mile after mile they were rowing at great
speed with but little difference between them, and as they
passed the lower part of Woolwich Arsenal Bromley
gradually drew up to his opponent, and some very fine
plucky rowing on both sides resulted in Bromley shortly
passing 'him. Cox made a smart spurt to regain his
place, but Bromley went stroke by stroke further away
from him, and won by 80 or 100 yards.

THE SUN, LONDON, :WEDNESDA Y EVENING, 8 EPTEMI3 ER 30, 1846.

Africa ought to have a fair chance of raising herself in
the scale of the civilised world.—A few years since Mr.
Clarkson was presented with the freedom of the City of
London.

Although the accumulated weight of upwards of four
score years pressed heavily upon the shattered ener-
gies of Mr. Clarkson, so long as life and being lasted his
great anxiety was do good. It was indeed a noble sight
to enter his apartment, and see this venerable man with
sight impaired, and his once fine frame bowed down by
the exertions of added years, still engaged, under much
physical suffering, in efforts to lessen the sorrows of the
human race. Within the last few months of his death,
the cause of the sailor occupied much of his attention ;
the wrongs under which this useful class is suffering
deeply moved his heart, and induced him to write a
pamphlet and take other steps in their behalf. Indeed,
the tones of human misery never fell upon his ear with
out painfully affecting his soul, which could not rest
satisfied until.
That oil which lubricates the heart
When frictionized by care.
had soothed the sorrows of the distressed. There aro
feelings of affectionate veneration connected with the
memory of this distinguished man, which will be shared
in by all who have heard of Slavery and Clarkson, but
which will peculiarly affect those who were privileged to
have a personal knowledge of the deceased. The spirit
of the last and most distinguished member of as noble a
knot of men as ever banded together in the sacred cause
of philanthropy has, at length, passed awayito ganother
world; and, notwithstanding the bright home to which
that spirit has been gathered, the lover of his kind feels
a melancholy feeling stealing over him as he says—
Thomas Clarkson is no more! On taking a review of
his life we may say,
Well for the world, the love of Heav'n

Finds not its limit ihere;
Its symphonies are sometimes caught,
And sweetly echoed here.
Clarkson was one of those rare characters, who, in the
course of every two or three centuries, are called by Pro-
vidence from obscurity, to work some stupendous moral
change upon the history of an empire, or the human race
at large; and who can believe nothing impossible, be-
cause the work which they have to do appears an impos-
sibility. Our readers will no doubt call to mind the
masterly sketch of Clarkson's character by Lord
Brougham in the preface to his Lordship's speeches on
the slave trade ; but perhaps the noblest epitaph upon
his tomb would be—" Here lies the man who excited
Wilberforce to labour fdr the abolition of the Slave
Trade." Granville Sharpe and Wilberforce have been
honoured with monuments in Westminster Abbey ; and
it is not too much to anticipate that a similar tribute of
national gratitude will be bestowed on the memory of
one greater than either, who laboured more abundantly
than all others, by a Ministry, under the auspices of
some of whose members the slaves in our West India
Colonies were legally disenthralled.

THE STELLENBOSCH BURGHERS.

It is satisfactory to state that the Stellenbosch contin-
gent are appointed to defend and maintain some of the
most important positions on this immediate frontier.
These are statio❑s lying on some of the great thorough-
fat ei, and immediately contiguous to several of the most
frequented Kafir passes into the colony. 'This contin-
gent, too, it should be observed, is composed of a re-
markably fine body of men—young, active, zealous, and
well appointed. Their commandant enjoys their fullest
esteem and confidence.

A DISAPPOINTED BRlDE.—Yesterday morning a
fresh instance of the truth of the old saw, that " the
course of true love never did run smooth," occurred at
the parish church at West Hackney. Tho bride ex-
pectant, Miss Y—, the daughter of a respectable
tradesman residing in the parish, was there, with friends
invited on the occasion, in two carriages, at the appointed
hour, the rev, incumbent of a neighbouring district
church going with the party to solemnise the ceremony,
but after waiting the full tune allowed by the canonical
law no bridegroom made his appearance, nor was any
apology sent for this abrupt termination of the promised
match. The absent Lothario was seen at an early hour
of the morning making a hasty exit from the district as
fast as his legs would carry him.
A CAUTION TO OMNIBUS TRAVELLERS BY NIGHT.—
An old trick of the omnibus conductors has lately come
in vogue respecting the change which they give. A
number of instances hare occurred where a party has,
on leaving an omnibus at the West-end (coming from
the Elephant and Castle), handed the conductor half-a-
crown, upon which he immediately takes a coin from
two different pockets, hands it to the pass roger, jumps
up on the monkey-hoa,d, end cries " All right; go on."
On the party looking to see it they have the rglit
change, they sometimes find, to their cost, that they
only received a shilling and a farthing. The principal
victims are females.

shift took place, at the recommendation of a landowner,
who desired them to choose a more retired ground, and
and this was readily complied with—a proof of the order
and good behaviour which characterised the motley
assemblage. After a long mile of tramping across
ploughed fields and winter turnips, a commodious piece
of waste land presented itself, and here the commissary
pro tem. pitched his materiel, and at a little before one
o'clock the men were in position. A brief notice of the
battle must suffice. M`Gee, who looked all his friends
could wish, fought wildly and without precision, while
his antagonist, with superior game and steadiness, met
his hasty and ill-judged onslaughts, and after punishing
his rashness, stood erect at the close of almost every
round. M'Gee, on the contrary, when foiled in his
rush, dropped repeatedly, and several times in a manner
so questionable, as to call for a public caution from the
referee. Finally, in the 64th round, his getting down
from a mere feint of Sculley's right (which had just
before rudely visited his ribs) was so palpable that it was
declared " foul," and Sculley adjudged to have won the
fight. Time, 1 hour and 38 minutes.

lAMBETH.

Yesterday the revislonoFdelists for this borough
was gone into before J. Deedes,:Esq., the Barrister, at
the Sessions House, Newington.
In St. Giles, Camberwell, there were but a few claims
or technical objections. In St. Mary, Lambeth, there
were 35 claims and no objections.
Mr. Sinclair, of Kennington-lane, claimed to have his
name inserted on the register, it having been omitted for
non-payment of the poor-rates.
Mr. Sinclair, in support of the claim, said that on the
20th of July he had called three times at the house of
Mr. Spencer, who he always considered was the collec-
tor, but he had had some dispute with the parochial au-
thorities, and he heard he was then suspended, but he
had the collecting books. He could not see Mr.

amount ?

M. r. Sinclair replied that he did not ; he had 31. or
41. in his hand. A subsequent application had been
made to him for it, but then he was 160 miles from town,
and it was not paid now.
The BARRISTER said it appeared a hard case, for
there was a difficulty as to who was the collector at the
time.

The present collector stated that he could not have
given a receipt on the 20th of July.
The BARRISTER observed that it would have been
better to have tendered the exact amount, and the rate
must now be paid. He should allow the claim. The
Learned Gentleman, however, upon referring to
the Act, considered that the tender of the money was
only good in cases of claims to bo rated. The difficulty
was that the rate was not now paid, and it had not been
tendered to any other officer.
Mr. Sinclair submitted that the tender having been
made on the 20th of July, it was of no consequence when
it was in fact paid.
The BARRISTER said the section made no reference to
a tender. It expressly stated that no person shall be
entitled to be on the register "unless he shall have paid,
on or before the 20th of July, all assessed and other taxes
up to the 6th of April." The 30th section had the
word " tender," but that was in reference to a claim to
be rated. Where parties left the payment of the
rates to Le last moment a difficulty was liable to occur
as, for instance, if the collector should die on that day.
Collectors were appointed for the convenience of the
parish.
Mr. Sinclair said—lf this were done, half Lambeth
would be disfranchised, for no one would know what they
had to pay.
The Learned BARRISTER observed that the rate-book
could be seen.

The claim was disallowed.
Of the whole claims 61 were allowed, and 4 disallowed.
In St. Mary, Newington, there were 34 claims, which
were allowed. There was no case of any interest, and
this parish concluded the revision.

the produce to every part, and which is held under a lease for
twenty-one years, renewable on application. It is about seven miles
from the thriving town of Carnarvon, with. the advantage of a rail
or tram-road, which goes through the lower part of the quarry, an d,
thence to that town. The quality of the slate, which is of a most
beautiful blue, cannot be surpassed; it is to be found in vast
abundance, and capable of being manufactured to any size that may
be required, A considerable part on the top has been worked,
evincing ample proof of the superiority of the produce. A short
level can easily he made, so as to have a depth of twenty-two yards
over the whole of the quarry. The length of the vein Is about 300
yards, and the breadth about 130. There is every convenience and
advantage for conducting the working successfully ; and there cad
be no question a large amount of annual profit may be safely relieu
upon by tha employment of only a moderate capital.
Mr. Thomas Richardson, of South Penralit, will show the quarry
of whom full particulars may be had ; also at Mr, George Robins's
'Aces, Coventlardeu.

EAST SURREY.

The Revising Barrister sat again yesterday at the
workhouse, Russell-street,Bermondsey, to revise the list
of voters in the only remaining parish, that of St. George,
Southwark.

Forty-eight claims were sent in by the members of
a building society, in respect of four houses. They were
supported by Mr. Russell, the free-trade agent, and the
whole of the claimants were placed upon the list.
On Tuesday an application was made to the Revising
Barrister by Mr. Drummond, the Conservative agent
for the Croydon district, to grant him a case for the
Common Pleas in reference to his decision, with regard
to the cases of several clergymen whose tithes had been
commuted to a rent charge, and whom he had held to be
disqualified on account of thero not sending in a fresh
claim upon the altered qualification.
The Revising Barrister refused to grant a case.
The following is a return of the result of the revision,
as given by the free trade agents:—

SOUTHWARK.

William Ford, an engineer, was placed at the bar,
before Mr. Secker, charged with endeavouring to force
his way into the Victoria Theatre, and assaulting Mur-
ray, the officer.
The latter stated that about 9 o'clock on Tuesday even-
ingithe prisoner came into the box entrance, and tried to
force his way up the staircase. When asked for his
money, he knocked the check-taker down, and had
ascended to the top of the stairs when he (witness) met
him. The prisoner endeavoured to serve him in the
same way as he had done the cheek-taker, but he was
too powerful for him; and after considerable difficulty
he held him until the arrival of other constables, who
carried him to the station-house.
The prisoner, who stated that he was much intoxi-
cated at the time, was fined 105., or seven days' impri-
sonment.

THAMES.
Isaac Chapman, a mulatto, Daniel Bennett, and
Thomas Morris were brought up on remand, charged
with being concerned in plundering Mr. Tessin, of the
Anchor and Hope Tavern, East Smithfield, of wine, to
an extent which, from the largeness of his stock, he
could not possibly calculate, but, from the admission of
one of the parties, the depredation must have been of a

wholesale character, as the wine was taken away in
dozens. It appeared the fellows contrived to carry out
their system of plunder by taking up a plank in the tap-
room, which is just over the cellar, and by that means
obtained unrestricted access.

Chapman and Bennett were again remanded, but the
other prisoner was set at large, as it is expected he
will give imrortant testimony, which will lead to the
apprehension of the principal offender, who is not yet in
custody.
