FLUES SHOULD BE ABOLISHED.
ANOTHER AND SAFER MODE OF WARMING

APARTMENTS SUGGESTED.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—lnconnexion with the subject of my two former let-
ters, permit me to subjoin a third, relating to flues. The mode
of warming apartments by flues is objectionable on two
grounds. First, the degree of heat which they give out is va-
riable—too much or too little ; in the next place they are al-
ways unsafe. But there is another and a safer mode by which
rooms of the largest dimensions may be heated. I mean by
hot water conveyed through iron or copper-pipes, of a diame-
ter porportional to the size of the rooms. The degree of heat
thus produced may be regulated to any tt mperature, and the
way in which the heat is produced is unattended with risk. It
may be added that this mode of communicating heat has been
resorted to with the best success in green houses .and hot
houses. And it will indeed be a most remarkable instance of
prejudice, I should rather say infatuation, if it be not generally
adopted. Z•
Birmingham, Nov. 7, 1834.

HALF-YEARLY PUBLIC EXAMINATION AT
SANDHURST.—The usual half-yearly public examinations of
the officers and gentlemen cadets studying at the Royal Mili-
tary College took place on Wednesday and Thursday, the sth
and 6th inst. At the close of the examination the following
officers were presented with certificates of qualification :
Captain F. D. George, 22d Regiment, Lieutenant J. J. Best,
34th Regiment. In consequence of the very superior talents
and acquirements displayed by Lieutenant Best in the highest
branches of mathematical science, a special honorary addition
was made to that officer's certificate ; and the following gen-
tlemen cadets, who had completed their qualifications for com-
missions, were recommended to the General Commanding-in-
Chief for appointment to ensigncies in the line without pur-
chase:—Peter J. Bathurst, Thomas R. Crawley, Hon. Wel-
lington P. M. Talbot, George H. D'Oyly, and John R. Hea-
ton. By the result of the examination, above 40 other young
gentlemen were declared to have made various steps towards
qualifying themselves for commissions in those branches of the
mathematics which are applicable to military purposes; in
permanent and field fortifications, and the attack and defence
of places ; in Latin and in general history ; and in the modern
languages ; and 15 had also during. the half-year completed
the course of professional education in military surveying, and
13 in the actual construction of intrenchments and saps in the
field, pontooning, &c.
Fires were simultaneously lighted on Saturday night
last all through the county. They were blazing at the same
time at Berehaven, Mallow, and Youghal. A similar thing
occurred on the previous Wednesday night —Cork Consti-
tution.

Extract of a letter from Folkingham, Lincolnshire,
Nov. 5 :—" I am sorry to say we have had several fires
within the last week. Last night we could discover two
between Grantham and Stamford. We had a dreadful incen-
diary fire last Saturday, at a house in Deeping Fen. Bee, an
honest inoffensive man, had every thing destroyed—ricks,
barns, live and dead stock, dwelling-house' &c., to the value
of 1,000/. He had insused 5001. in the County. The evil
spirit is reviving with a vengeance, as the labourers have got
it into their heads that there is to be no more hanging for
burning. The minor punishments they do not care for."
