WASHING WITHOUT LABOUR.
WARMOLL and Co.'s celebrated PURIFIED
SOAP, for Washing Linen. This valuable article is
particularly recommended to the Public as decidedly pre-
ferable to every other soap, possessing the invaluable
quality of eradicating grease, dirt, and stains from Linen,
white or coloured, with one fourth the labour required by
the use of common Soap, rendering the linen beautifully
white and clear. It is extremely harmless in its compo-
sition, so much so, it is used for washing children of the
most tender age. The unpleasant and hurtful effects of
wet linen being long on hand is obviated by the use of this
desirable article, likewise the things from being torn by
excessive rubbing, as they have only once to be rubbed,
agreeable to directions on each packet. The Directions
must be strictly at'ended to. Originals of Testimonials of
the First Families and Public Institutions, also from ex-
tensive laundresses, may be seen at the Factory. Large
Consumers may have a person from the establishment
to superintend a trial, and fully prove its merit..
The manufacturers are determined to afford the
Public every satisfactory demonstration. (No Family
ought to be without it ) It is excellent for exportation.
Superior to any fur washing in salt water. Sold by most

MR. LODGE'S PEERAGE.—Were we re-
quired to cite an example of what long practice and a
combination of industry and talent can effect in bringing a
publication as nearly as possible to the s'andard of per-
fection, this should be the book. Persons who pride them-
selves upon a knowledge of heraldry and genealogical re-
search, have pronounced it to be nearly errorless.

MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES.—A meeting
of the Middlesex Magistrates was held on Friday for the
election of a chairman and for other business. Mr.
Rotch was chosen as chairman until the county day of
next September sessions. A memorial was presented
from the parish of Whitecbapel, complaining that the new
system of removing Irish and Scotch vagrants would he
productive of an additional expense of 5501. a-year to
that parish alone, and that the increase of expense to the
county generally was already enormous. A motion for
adding 100/. a-year to the salary of the Rev. J. Ousley,
chaplain of the House of Correction, was, after some op-
position, agreed to. Other business of no public interest
was transacted, and the Court adjourned, leaving much
still undisposetl of.
A DEAR SEAL.—A short time ago, a re-
spectable gentleman farmer from the neighbourhood of
Melton had occasion to address a letter to Mr. Kitching,
the surveyor of taxes, who resides at Clifton, near York,
and was about to secure it with a wafer, when it occurred
to him that a little wax would he more genteel. He ac-
cordingly bed recourse thereto, and happened, at the
same time, to use an old silver seal, which had been
found in ploughing a field, and had been for some
time in his possession, which seal, most unfortunately,
had upon it some armorial bearing or other. Our
readers may judge of the surprise of the writer,
when, in answer to his, as he thought, harmless
epistle, he received from Mr. Kitching a surcharge of
2/. Ss. for using armorial bearings. This was unbear-
able; and the party rode over to York, and explained the
circumst tures to the surveyor. He was, however, inex-
orable, and the law imperative; and the only consolation
he could obtain was the intimation that he might attend
on the appeal day; consequently the person took another
journey to York on Wednesday week, where he was met,
before the Commissioners of Assessed Taxes, at the White
Horse Inn, Bootham, by the surveyor, armed with the
Act of Parliament, and the proof of his infringing its
provisions in the shape of his unlucky letter. The Com
missioners had no option— all they could do was to miti-
gate the surcharge to IL 45., which was paid.—Doncaster
Gazette.

The Half-yearly Meeting of the Proprietors
of the General Seam Navigation Company was held yes.
terday, Thursday, at the office of the Company, 69, Lom
bard-street, Wolverley Attwood, Esq., in the chair, and
was very numerously and respectably attended. A report
from the Directors, upon the operations of the Company
during the past year, and on the present et rte and future
prospect, was read, and appeared to give very great and
general satisfaction. It was stated that the London Mer-
chant steano-boat, bad been purchased by the_ Company,
and that a new steam-boat, of the first class, wi,s being
built, and would be shortly launched. The extremely
boisterous weather of 1833 had occasioned a very consi.
derahle diminution in the number of travellers to the Con-
tinent, and consequently in the passengers by the steam-
boats of the Company, which had, however, contended
successfully with the storms of the last autumn and wit)_
ter, and had continued running upon the stations during
the whole of the season. The position and prospects of
the Company were represented to be satisfactory, and the
dividend was declared for the half year ending 31st De-
cember, 1833 ; and after voting the cordial thanks of the
proprietors to the chairman and directors, the meeting
separated.
SINGULAR FATALITY AND REMARKABLE
COINCIDENCE.-0a the night of Thursday week, Richard
James, hostler at the Pack Horse Inn, in Mickl.gate, in
this city, when going up stairs to bed, accidentally set his
foot upon some children's clothes, and a pin that was in
them penetrated his foot, near the ankle. He took no
particular notice of it at the time, but afterwards his foot
became inflamed, and the means used to cure it proved of
no avail; he continued to get worse and worse, until a
period was put to his sufferings, on Tuesday night, when
he died raving mad. It is very remarkable, that his
brother, William James, was bestler at the same inn for
14 y: are before him, and that four years ago, on the very
day of the month on which the above accident occurred,
he had the misfortune to break his leg, which also brought
him to his end, in a similar manner, on the same day of
the month on which Richard died.— York Herald.

PORTABLE HOUSE.—A very convenient
and handsome dwelling, made entirely of wood, double
roofed, and containing two sitting-rooms, two lied-room,,
and a kitchen, with a front entrance, and passage down
the middle, has been built for the residence of Mr. Pres•
ton's son while he is executing such works as require Lis
continwince in one place for some time. Alter the road
is completed at Casterton, near Stamford, he is going to
the lower hill at Leadenham, whither the house is to be
removed ; it is at present at Sleaford. It can be taken
into three parts. Tiler ooms are all handsomely furnished
and papered, and the kitchen has every requisite for a
small f amily.—Lincolnshire Chronicle.

On Thursday his Majesty's brig Gannet, 10, Com-
mander J. B. Maxwell, arrived from the West India sta-
tion. She left Barbadoes on the 15th ult., and next
yoke the Wasp, 18, Commander J. Burney, returning
from a cruise, on which she had been sent by Commo•
(lore Pell, as a remedy for cholera, prevailing among the
crew. Commander B. reported that he had only two cases,
the crew having been for some time previously healthy.
The Gannet left the Forte, 44 (Commodore Pell), and
Sapphire, in Carlisle Bay. The Vestal, 28, Captain W.
Jones, sailed on the 15th oh. for Jamaica, to join the
Commander-in-Chief (Sir. G. Cockburn). The Despatch
16, Commander Daniell, had captured a Spanish schooner,
with slaves on board, on her passage to Maranham and
Para. The only death on the station since Commander
Agar was Mr. Crane, Purser of the Sapphire, who also
died of the yellow fever. The packet was to sail from
St. Thomas's on the 16th ult. for England. Lieutenant-
Colonel Hon. H. W. Molyneux, 96th Highlanders, and
Messrs. Norman, Laurel', and Hoisten, R. N., came
passengers. The Gannet sailed yesterday for Sheerness to
be paid off.
His Excellency the Marquis of Sligo and family em-
barked yesterday on board his Majesty's ship Blonde, 46,
Commodore Francis Mason, C. 8., and that ship sailed
in the afternoon for Jamaica, Rio Janeiro, and the Pa-
cific. The Sparrowhawk, 18, Commander C. Pearson,
sailed on Thursday also for the South American station,
taking despatches for Sir Michael Seymour, Bart.,
K.O 8., the Commander.in.Chief.

From light and baffling fair winds, which changed to
strong S.S.W. gales, the Upton Castle, Captain Duggan,
which put back on Wednesday, did not finally get away
until Thursday, when she sailed with the wind N.N.W.,
having Sir John Keane and suite on board, for Bombay.
The James Pattison, for the Cape and Swan River, saikd
on Sunday with Sir James and Lady Stirling and family,
and about ninety settlers. The Ernaad, for Madras and
Bengal, sailed yesterday.
At Spithead—Tbe Neapolitan corvette Zephyr.
In the Harbour—Victory, Royal George, Edinburgh,
Excellent, Belvidera, Rainbow, Tyne, Charybdis, Espoir,
Nautilus, and Sparrow cutter.
The Right Hon. Lord and Lady Vernon embarked on
Sunday on board his Lordship's yacht the Harlequin, and
sailed on a visit to the most interesting parts of the Medi.
terranean.

The Romney troop ship, which sailed from Plymouth
on Sunday, with the depot companies of the 51st and 94th
Regiments, reached Kinsale Head on Tuesday evening
list, too late to get into Cork harbour; during the night,
whilst standing off and on, the wind blowing very fresh,
she was suddenly taken aback, and carried away her main-
yaid and wizen ; she was compelled to bear up for Milford,
where she arrived on Wednesday afternoon, and will remain
there to be refitted.
The United Kingdom, Robinson, from Galway to Lon-
don, after beating about in the Atlantic during the late
gales, bore up for the Shannon, and anchored in Mulberry
13 iy ; subsequently, during a heavy sea, she lost an
anchor, then beat off her rudder, and the sea making a
breach over her, she was abandoned ; but more favourable
weather succeeding, her cargo was discharged.
The Rover, IS, Commander Sir G. Young, Bart.,
sailed from Sheerness on the 6th instant, direct for Malta,
to join the new Commander-in-Chief.
That fine new frigate the President, 52, will be com-
missioned at this port in a few days by Captain J.
M'Kerle (1813). The complement is 413 men and
eight boys. The Tyne, 28, Captain Lord Viscount In-
gestre, was on Thursday taken into dock. The Firebrand
(which was commissioned as a steamer-yacht for the
Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland) was paid off on Wednesday
by Lieut. Buchannan ; she will be re-commissioned when
re-fitted. The Undaunted, 46, is paid off.
The brave officer who is to commission the President,
Capt. M'Kerlie, was brought forward in the service by.
that genuine discriminator of professional talent, the late
Lord Exmouth, under whom he lost his arm in the Inde-
fatigable frigate, when she, with the Atethusa, drove the
Droits Homme, of SO guns, ashore. He was made
Commander for his services as First Lieutenant of the
Spartiate, at Trafalgar, and Post Captain for capturing
two 20-gun corvettes, in the Calliope sloop of war, as•
sisred by some gun boats, in the Weser River.

We have much gratification in hearing that it has been
determined to increase the half-pay of Pursers of the
Royal Navy to 55., 65., and 7. per diem, instead of Sc.,
45., and 51., as at present. The increase will not be-
come a chaige upon the Navy Estimates, as it is intended
to reduce the allowance made to Pursers in commission,
for the care of provisions, from an eighth to a tenth ; by
which regulation, in a line of-battle ship, where eighths
amount to 500/. a-year, it will be only 4001. a-year. It
is also intended, as we are informed, to reduce the entire
list of Pursers to an effective list; by which all those who
hold or have held civil employments, and all those inca-
pable of further servitude, from infirmities, will continue
to receive their present modicum of half-pay only. It is
als,) said that the titular term " Purser' will be ex-
changed for that of " Accountant."
By the present establishment of brigs and smaller ves-
sels they are allowed but one of the first class of working
petty offleeis—a Quartermaster, Boatswain, Gunner,
and Carpenter's-AI ste, the pay of the first three of which
is 95., and the last one I Is. per month less than that of
the same class of petty officers who serve in large ships,
whick, at the end of three years, is a loss of 171. 10s. to
the toper, and of 191. 16s. to the latter ; and probably
the} hunt axife and family to keep out of their pay.
The consequence is, that the best qualified men for these
stations (and small vessels should especially have such)
will not serve in small vessels, as they know they shall
have more severe duty to discharge in them than they
would in larger ships, especially on home stitions, in the
winter months, and must, therefore, yet further diminish
their earnings, by being forced to take up more slops
front their clothes being sooner worn out.

PLYMOUTH, FEE. 18.-We had not the complete satis-
faction of seeing the departure of all the outward-bound
until Saturday last, when the George Shaw, for Bombay,
the Simnel Robertson, for New York, Woorltnancote,
with troops fir Jamaica, and about twenty sail, proceeded
with the wind at north. Lord and Lady Napier, and two
daughtev, Captain and Mrs. Elliott, and the Secretary
and Surgeon of the establishment at Macao, with Com-
mander E. Younge, to join the Melville, embarked in the
Andromache, 28, Capt. H. D. Chat's, C. 8., on Friday,
and she sailed for China and the Etst India station. She
will touch at Rio and the Cape. The Thunderer, 84,
Captain W. F. Wise, C. 8., is ordered to take a battalion
of 400 Marines, including Colonel Parke's Marine Artil-
lery, to Malta. It may be easily conjectured that these
gallant men are at present intended only as a " Conserva-
tive " corps, with a view prospectively to more active ser-
vices. Arrived the Salamander, with troops, from Chat-
ham ; Dee, with Marines, from Spike Island ; and the
Hope transport, with troops, from Chatham, which latter
hare been transhipped to the Athol. Sailed (on Friday)
the Lynx, Lieutenant Huntley, for the coast of Africa ;
Jupiter, troop-ship, having embarked troops here, for
Cork and Malta. The Nimrod, 20, Commander J.
M'Dougall, will sail to-morrow for the Mediterranean.
Toe Mary, High, of Perth, from London for Donegal,
was totally dismasted yesterday morning a few miles west
