.3, gemous invention, "entitled JORDANS
for Metropolis,
Machine, which has been displayed in
Metropolis, and which has hitherto acquired
its author more fame than money—solely, as
we liderstanci, from his inability to purchase a pa-
tent. It is the general misfortune of genius that the
" rld is too often prevented, either from poverty
or Motives of delicacy, from being made really
acquainted with the merits of cases peculiarly
leserving its attention and encouragement. In
the present instance, we understand, that
great
C' iistress prevents the author of a most useful
I, Invention from making it generally serviceable—
NI consequently of most extensive benefit, as
t' II to those who patronize as to the object of
hr kindness. So compact is the machine that ,

Otter we are inclined to believe correct. At all
cents, if these accounts be true, they present a
fri,ghtful picture of the present state of the Con-
stitutional cause, and give rise to much alarm
in that quarter. At present the statement ap-
pears to be received with some caution by per-
sons well versed in Portuguese polities, and we
shall indeed rejoice at being able to give an
early and unqualified negative to the truth of the
sport, and its probable results if so. We
deem it, however, right to state that other re-
Ports add, the Constitutional troops have shown
hlo disposition to support with energy the cause,
Which may now be considered as at a low ebb.
It is added, intrigue has been also busy in the
Yanks of the latter. We have heard, from a
quarter we can rely upon, that the Constitutional
army had sufficient baggage with them for
30,000 men :

OPORTO, JUNE :30.
We are in a little alarm, for the operations of the armies
are now only three leagues off, at Grijo. Saldanha, Villa
llor, and the Marquis of Palrnella, have gone to the army.
General Stubbs remains in Oporto as General of the North.
Oporto will be the scene of a battle if the enemy force
through the position our troops have taken.
The carnage has been dreadful, all yesterday the wounded
soldiers were entering.
The British vessels are dropped down the river below
the convent of St. Antonio.

Berlin Papers of the 4th inst. have been re-
ceived thi: morning, but they do not contain and•
warlike news. The account of the late hail
storm in Hanover is still more appalling than
that previously received :

ST. PETERSBURGH, JUNE 24.
The Journal of St. Petersburyls contains news from
the head-quarters before Brailow, of the 3d and 10th
of June, which merely gives some details of the progress
• of the siege, and the determined resistance of the garrison,
Whose fire is stated to have been very well supported.
The arrival of the head-quarters at Babadagh, on the 15th
of June, is mentioned.
An account of the farther proceedings at Anapa, subse-
quent to the 30th of May, and of an attack made on the
d9th of June by the mountaineers upon the Russians,
aring which the garrison made a sally, and which ended
the defeat of the enemy, coincides with the state-
.ln, "its previously received. " After sinking three of the
avessels at anchor under the guns of the place,
lAdmiral Greig wished to take the others, and in the
ght of the let June detached some armed vessels with
_.,(1 boats for the purpose. But the rising moon having
"covered this movement to the enemy, the detachment
Was received with a brisk fire of musketry and artillery,
notwithstanding which our seamen boldly cut the cables
'of three of the vessels, and towed them to the fleet in the
Said. They were hindered from taking the others by
heir being defended by pallisades."
IiAN'OVItE, JUNE 28.
We have received the following particulars of the dread-
ful storm, which did so much damage here on the 21st
instant
For several days we had had very hot weather,
which became quite oppressive on the 21st. At half-
past two iu the afternoon a storm came up from the
Rest, and at ten minutes past three a dreadful tor-
rent of hail poured down, such as never was known
in this country. 'The frozen masses rushed down
with a rattling noise, that alarmed all the inhabitants.
These masses, in the shape of a turnip (not round but
pointed) weighed on an average three or four ounces each.
The noise which they made in striking on the rocks and
the pavements of the streets was astounding. This ter-
rible phenomenon lasted, it is true, only four minutes, but
the damage done was immense. All the windows in the
city and suburbs were dashed to pieces; the streets were
covered with lumps of ice to the depth of half a foot,
the fruit beaten off the trees, the branches broken, the birds
in the air killed, all the neighbouring gardens and fields"laid
waste, many persons wounded, and cattle killed; in short,
the damage is innnerise. Of a flock of 500 geese only '75
moped alive. At this moment it cannot be estimated how
great the injury may be in the adjacent country. But the
damage done to the windows and lamps in the city is esti-
-loated at 50 or 60,000 dollars (six dollars to 11. sterling).
The injury to the gardens and fields probably much ex-
ceeds that sum.

IfANOVER, JULY 1.
Their Royal Iliglinmses, the Duke and Duchess of Cam-
"ridge, have opened a subscription fur the relief of the
"offerers by the storm of June 21, and have themselves
tttributed 65 Louis d'ors. For the relief of the poorer
classes the Magistrates have purchased a great quantity of
",inclow-glass, which is delivered to those who need it, at
13641 e cost, without any charge for carriage, &c. The less
the
householders, and farmers of ground belonging to
'"e city, are to have an abatement on their taxes and

On the 24th of June, there was another disaster near
Ritiorer. Twenty-eight dwellings in the village of Burg-
'7etle.l, inhabited by fiy failies, consis
16° persons, having beenft destroyed by fireting of nearly.

Dutch Papers of Wednesday last confirm the

Pieces of cannon, besides provisions, and a great
quantity of gunpowder. It appears that with
the first fine weather the Russians arc going

frigates into the Mediterranean. If this be so,
Our Government must look about them. It

it can be carried in the pocket, and may be had

To those who) value pure water, it would be
useless to say another word in favour of the
inventor of this Machine. The following is a
prospectus issued by sonic real friends of genius,
whose names arc inscribed at the bottom :

JORDAN'S FILTERING MACHINE.
Edward Jordan, of Norwich, the inventor of a filtering_
machine, which has been exhibited before most of the
public boards, scientific bodies, and eminent persons in
London, and acknowledged by them to be the most rapid
and effectual purifier of water ever yet produced, is now,
through long detention in town, and the disappointment
of his hopes of obtaining some public remuneration for a
discovery so generally useful, reduced to great pecuniary
distress, and is totally unable to incur the expence of
taking out a patent.
It has, in consequence, been proposed by some indivi-
duals, who think highly of Mr. Jordan's invention, to
raise such a sum, by sub!cripton, as may relieve his iiame-
diate wants, and enable him to secure the necessary patents.
The nltering-machine, for general household use, will
cost two guineas, and any amount, now generously con-
tributed by anticipation, will be faithfully repaid, in
machines, by Jordan, as soon as they con be brought before
the public under the sanction of a patent.
Subscriptions will be received by Messrs Hatchard and
Son, 187, Piccadilly ; Messrs. J. and W. hlortlock, 250,
Oxford-street ; Messrs. Joseph Hume and Son, 108, Long-
acre ; and Mr. J. M. Richardson, 23, Gornhill.
The following Gentlemen have constituted themselves a
Coinmittee for the purpose of directing the disposal of the
sums that may be kindly advanced —John Knowles, Esq.,
Navy Board; J. A. Paria, M.D., Dever-street, Piccadilly;
and Robert Scott, Esq., Great Winchester-street.

It is understood that the Ch ANCELLoR of
the EXCHEQUER means this evening to bring
forward the Budget, if he can screw up his
courage to the sticking point. The Finance
Committee are to be passed over in silence, like
many other stubborn facts.

A meeting of merchants connected with Por-
tugal, and more particularly Oporto, has taken
place this afternoon, the result of which, on com-
paring the intelligence by various letters received

this morning, is by no means of the desponding
and gloomy character which a letter inserted in
our Paper gives rise to.
