THE NEW NOVEL, RAVE N SCLIFFE,
By the Author of
" Emilia Wyndham," "/Two Old Men's Tales," &a.
" Ravensclitle contains scenes not surpassed in power and beauty
by those in the Admiral's Daughter,' which announced an addition
to the phalanx of English authoresses so remarkable as that of 'The
Two Old Men.' No reader can bear the heroine company without
feeling in some degree the same sense of powerlessness to cope with
the fascinations of a dark destiny which is conveyed by the stories of
Richardson's Clarissa,' and Scott's ' Lucy Ashton. This is praise •
enough—yet not too much."—Athenreum.
" A story of remarkable power and beauty."—Post.

The want of a wholesome and efficient water supply is more se-
verely felt south of the Thames than in any other part of the metro-
polis. The Sanitary Commissioners say the present supply there is
" wholly unfit for use, and is highly dangerotts to the health of the
persons who drink it."
The Company has for its object the supply of pure water at con-
stant and high service, and WO received the most cordial support
from the proprietors, ratepayers, and inhabitants in general of this
large district, evidenced by tlYeir numerous petitions and by the re-
solutions of public bodies, such as the Quarter Sessions, .the District
Board of Health, tee.
It has long been known that the Wandle water is the purest of any
within practicable distance of the Metropolis (seethe public evidence
taken before the Committees of the House of Commons.) From this
source a minimum supply of 27,000,000 of gallons daily can be ob-
tained *ithout injury to any one. The present supply of Thames
water is abort 9,000,009.
The Company, either through the instrumentality of the existing
Companies, or by parochial or other public bodies, or their own
means, will beablo to send "pnintermittent streams of cool, fresh
lucid waterrepoxkling and pure, up every eipart end alley, and to the
very garrets of the meanest houses, at a very low rate of charge."
And these essentials they.can guarantee ; because, besides the ad-
mitted superiority of the Wandlo water. which in its natural state
possesses a greater " freedom from putrescible organic matter," and
-from " discoloration," as well as greater " brightness, clearness,
softness. and coolness," than any others, this Company's plan com-
prises a complete system of intercepting drainage to carry off the
impurities of mills and houses—an original and perfect Method of
nitration (invented by Mr. F. P. Thompson, the. Engineer to the
Company), to be* applied' in the grand reservoir itself), 160 feet
above Trinity high water mark, whence it will flow in Uninterrupted
distribution by mere gravity to the thousands of buildings in the
district, in a state as cool and limpid as any well water—and lastly,
because the Company apply by their Bill for a compulsory limitation
of profits, so that the abuse of high charges will here be an impos-
sibility, whilst there will be sarcient profit to afford a liberal remu-
neration to the shareholders.
The Thames water throughout contains sulphates and chlorides of
some sort, and the watt: at Dittos, besides these, is impregnated
with the sewerage of Hampton-court and other districts, compre-
hending a population of three-quarters of a million. "No amount
of boiling can separate the sulphates and chlorides"—they will re-
main and constitute a permanent hardness. In the Wandle water
there is no sulphate or chloride of any sort; but there is present the
carbonate of soda, which renders it admirable for all domestic pur-
poses, and to such " water M. Soyer gives a preference for tea-
making, even over distilled water."

'Sheppard and Sons, 28, Threadneedle-street, City, and to the Secre-
tary, at the Temporary Offices, 15, Tokenhouse-yard, Lothbury,

WEST WHEAL ALINING COMPANY.
A meeting of the shareholders of this company was
held yesterday at the office, 57, Broad-street, fur the pur-
pose of dissolving the company. James Hearne, Esq.,
presided.
The requisition convening the meeting was read by
the Secretary, and it appeared that the meeting was
called in consequence of a resolution passed on the 17th
of last month, and which was unanimously agreed to, to
the effect that a meeting should be called to dissolve the
company.
Mr. MACKEY asked the Secretary to inform them of
the number of shares that were represented at the meet-
ing alluded to.
The SECRETARY said that the number was 1,310, the
total number of shares being 3;755; and of these 2,801
had sent in their proxies, whil the deed only required
that there should be 2,787 represented as the necessary
number to dissolve the company.
After this explanation,'
Mr. CUMBERLAND moved a resolution to the effect,
that the company or association called the West Wheal
Copper and Tin Mining Association, as established by
deed of settlement dated the 18th of October, 1838,
should be dissolved; and the motion having been seconded
was agreed to.
It appeared, however, that according to the deed of
settlement another meeting must be called to confirm the
above resolution before it can be deemed final.

N.B. Every Policy ranks in the allocation of prollts according to
the year of entry; but no Additions are payable where a claim
emerges by Death, within Five Tears from the date of the Policy.

A MEXICAN DUEL.
The San Francisco Herald of the 10th, says,
" The
dead body of a man was found yesterday morning within
a few hundred yards of the prison brig, on the road
winding round the hill near the north beach. It was
horribly cut and gashed with a knife in 18 or 20 places,
seven or eight of the wounds being mortal.,
The body
was lying in a natural position, with the head resting on
the arm, and in the vicinity there were no marks of a
struggle and no traces of blood. Mr. Gray, the city
sexton, Lid an inquest in the afternoon. The name of
the murdered man proved to bo San Miguel—the author
of this horrible deed a Mexican, named Mancelito, now
in the city. It appears that on Wednesday night he
and the deceased were in ono of the Wretched dens in
Cat or Murderer's'alleY, kept by a Mexican woman, and
that a quarrel took place between them, which it was
agreed to settle by mortal combat, after the fashion of
Mexican duels. The twu parties stated out together,
unaccompanied by friends or witnesses, and fought by
moonlight. The result was as above stated. The usual
manner of fighting among the Mexicans is to wrap their
folds round their left arm, thus forming a
or shield, and, dagger in hand, strike with
liktheirneudrPiogifthigtm.uaarnldny the present instance, judging from the
multitude of mortal wounds, some of them must have
been given after the deceased was vanguished, perhaps
dead. a

them and search made for him. Ho had not been ar-

ing about without his aerap, apparently having no idea
of flying."
