THE SCREW AS AN AUXILIARY.

(From the Liverpool Albion.)
The screw, both as a principal and as an auxiliary
propelling power, is now being rapidly adopted ; and,
whi.e the success which has attended its adoption into
the steam-ship Great Britain, as demonstrated by her
recent voyage to New York, will undoubtedly remove all
Prejudice which may still exist against it, and lead the
ItN,/, as we believe it will, to its almost universal use in
Place of the paddle-wheel, the information we are now
about to lay before our readers sufficiently attests its
progress as an auxiliary.
We have previously noted its adoption in this latter
Capacity into the new line of communication about to be
opened between this port awl Constantinople ; and we
are now enabled to state, that not only is it contem-
•Pfattd to adopt it, between Liverpool and the
east, but that within a short period it will be in
extensive use in packet lines between this port and
various parts of the continent of America. No less
than three iron vessels' to all of which it will be fitted,
are now being built by Messrs. James Hodgson and Co ,
iron shipbuilders, of this town ; one an iron ship, of
twelve hundred tons burthen, with engines of one hun-
dred and eighty horse-power, the first of a new line of
steamers to ply between Liverpool and New York ; the
second, one of six hundred tons burthen, with engines of
one hundred horse-power, the first of a new line of seven
steamers destined to run between Rio de Janeiro and the
Mersey ; and the third one for Buenos Ayres. All these
are to be fitted with the screw propeller and Grantham's
patent direct action engines. Nor must we omit to point
especial attention to the fact that all these vessels are
constructed of iron.
In addition to these, a steam-packet ship has lately
been constructed at Boston, in the United States, and,
being advertised to leave New York on the 6th instant,
she may be expected to arrive in the Mersey towards
the 26th instant. This vessel is intended as a pioneer of
4 regular line of steam packet-ships ; and her steam
Power is intended for use during calms or to make way
against head winds—in fact, whenever advantageous
The motive power may be described as follows :—A
Condensing engine of 170 horse-power, consisting of two
Cylinders, of twenty-five inches diameter and three feet
tteake, working at right angles ; two boilers, with two
Itriaces each, fourteen feet long by seven wide and nine
nigh ; blowing-engine and blowers, so arranged as to be
°llt of the way, and to be only used occasionally to raise
the Steam quickly ; one heater ; and a propeller of nine-
and. a•half feet extreme diameter, constructed entirely of
wir
clight copper and composition metal, which revolves
4441 Ft the rudder, the main shaft coining out close by the
Rem
th -s-" Post, and supported by a stout' brace attached to
by eine. The propeller can be shipped or unshipped
the aid of a shaft coming out of the ship above the
main shaft, and is entirely within the control of the en-
gineer in the engine-room. The mechanism within first
11uships or rigs in the lower shaft from the hub of the
Pre,Peller, then, by turning the upper shaft, the pro •
eller is brought up to the flat of the stern, entirely out
vthe water, and in a few minutes the ship assumes the
't('seter of a packet-ship, without anything to drag
t,4t her. The engine-room is floored with cast-iron ;
11,Q1 protection is given to the woodwork near the
and ; and the chimney comes up through the pump

AN ACT FOR THE PROTNCTION
OF MERCHANT StiAMEN.
A most important measure, aT,cting the wel'are of
that numerous and useful body of rapt), the sailors of the
merchant service, received the royal assent on th . last
day of the !ess'on. It Will to doubt elevate the charac-
ter,. improve the habits, and better the condition of sea-
isaen—all objects of the highest importance to the mari-
time profession. The crimps, lodging house-keepers,

inueln of their bard-earned wages. The baneful traffic

BOOKSELLERS' PROVIDENT
RETREAT.

A very numerously and fashionably attended dejeuner a la
fourehette took place yesterday, at Abbot's Langley, on the
occasion of laying the first stone of a building intended to be
devoted to the purpose of forming a comfortable asylum for
annuitants of the Booksellers' Provident Institution. This
institution was establised in 11+37, and recently its prosperity
has been such as to induce the Committee to form the design
of establishing a residence in the neighbourhood of London,
where the annuitants of the society might enjoy those comforts
and that quiet retirement so desirable to secure for those de-
serving members of the bookselling trade and their widows
who may be rendered incapable, at an advanced age, of pro-
viding for themselves.
This intention they have been at length enabled to carry
into execution, owing to the munificent kindness of Mr.
Dickenson, who gave the intitution, for that purpose, a
beautifully-situated piece of land, opposite the King's Lang-
ley station of the Birmingham Railway. A more delightful
site could not be selected for the projected building, lying as it
does in a highly cultivated and picturesque district, and pos-
ses•iing the advantage of being so near London, almost within a
few yards of one of the termini of the great northern artery of
communication, the frequent passing of the trains on which, in
such a rural district, will rather serve to remind the inmates of
the asylum of the busy and anxious bustle from which they
shall have escaped, than to unpleasantly interfere with the calm
and quiet retirement of this asylum.
The building will be a very handsome specimen of the Tudor
architecture, from a design by Mr. H. Cooper, and the cost of
its erection will be defrayed by a fund especially contributed
for that purpose by the members of the trade and by many
other persons favourable to the object ; and as the fund in-
creases, additions will be made from time to time of other
buildings, in such order as they may be required.
The inmates of the Retreat will be selected from the Bnok-
sellers' Provident Institution, and every member of the Asso-
ciation will be entitled to vote at their election, the manage-
ment of their affairs being entirely placed under a Committee
annually chosen from amongst the members.
The day was peculiarly favourable for the performance of the
ceremonial, and a very numerous party, graced by the presence
of many of the fair sex, evidently enjoyed the rich and varied
scenery in the neighbourhood.
At one o'clock a procession of the stewards was formed, who
accompanied the Earl of Clarendon to the spot fixed on for the
deposition of the foundation stone, which was surrounded by a
tasteful canopy for the accommodation of the ladies, where, as
old Chaucer would say :
" Neither Phcebus' beams could to them thronge,
Nor Eolus' sharpe blasts could works them anie wrongs."
At two o'clock the stone, which contained in a hollow space

specimens of the various coins of the present reign, was placed
in its position, and mortar applied with a silver trowel, in a
most workmanlike manner, amidst deafening cheers, by Lord
Clarendon, after which a prayer was read by the vicar of the
parish, and the party proceeded to a spacious marquee, where
a sumptuous repast was provided for them.
The Earl of CLARENDON presiding. The Noble Chairman
proposed, in eloquent terms, the usual toasts which the loyalty
and patriotism of Englishmen claim precedence for on ail public
occasions ; after which he again called for a bumper, and said
that he was about to propose to the assembly a toast which he
felt confident would receive the warmest approbation of every
. .

individual present, connected as it was so intimately with the
purposes of the Booksellers' Provident Institution.—(Chiers.)
That excellent institution was established in 1837, for the pur-
pose of affording pecuniary relief to members of the trade, or
their widows, who were overtaken by age or infirmity, without

the means of providing sufficient comfort under such circum-
stances ; and that institution had been since conducted in a
manner which was so perfectly in accordance with the intentions
of the founders, that it had attained a very deserved and high
degree of prosperity.—( Cheers.) There had been no appeal in
the newspapers in its favour, nor had its meetings been presided
over by persons of high rank, yet, notwithstanding, it had
been successful to such an extent as to obtain four or five hun-
dred members, and a corresponding amount of subsuriptions.—
(Cheers. ) The society felt the great advantage which they
could confer if, in addition to pecuniary relief, they were also
enabled to grant the comfort of a quiet retreat in the neighbour-
hood of London, where members of the society who received
assistance might also have an asylum in their old days, in which
they might enjoy those comforts and that quiet so essential to
their condition, and that design was most benevolently assisted
and encouraged by Mr. Dickenson—(Cheers)—who gave for
ever the piece of land on which they were then assembled, for
the purpose of affording facilities for the erection of such an
asylum, and it was now placed in the hands of trustees for that
object The building would be proceeded with at once, and he
was happy to be able to state that it was to be in a style of
architecture which, having in view the purposes for which it
was de-igned, must be pronounced most appropriate and well-
judged, and reflected great credit on the good taste and
judgment of the architect, Mr. Cooper. It was to consist
of seven houses of four rooms each, with every suitable con-
venience, so that each member would have a separate and in-
dependent dwelling; and there were also two larger rooms
in the plan, one to be devoted to the purpose of a committee-
room, and another a ball for the assembly of the inmates,
which hall was, he was happy to say, to be fitted up as a
library.—( Hear). It was unnecessary to detain them with
a description of the more minute arrangements, but they
were all to be in strict accordance with proper economy and
a due regard to the comfort of the inmates. The objects
contemplated in this retreat were such as ought to com-
mand the sympathy, not only of those connected with the
bookselling business, but of every class in life ; for that trade
was almost sui generis, and possessed the strongest claims
on all, from the highest to the lowest in the land. When
persons enjoyed the advantages that were derived from the
extensive diffusion of enlightenment and civilization, they
seldom thought of the great enterprise and risk which were
required in order to produce that diffusion of knowledge—they
seldom thought of the cost and anxiety which were required
to carry it into effect—they seldom considered what a lottery
was the business of publishing.—( Hear, hear.) They seldom
considered how difficult it was to discover beforehand the intel-
lectual taste of the public, or what might be called, perhaps,
the caprices of public opinion, against the decision of which
it was hopeless to appeal.—( Hear, hear.) He felt that the
interests of the booksellers were identical with those of the
public, and therefore he felt that in aiding to confer this benefit
on them the public were conferring a benefit on themselves.—
( Cheers.) They ought to recollect that the booksellers was
the medium through which the principles of religion and
patriotism were spread abroad. They ought not to forget
that through their exertions knowledge was diffused amongst
all classes, and their morals improved, whilst their enlighten-
ment was increased.—( Cheers.) He should, therefore, with-
out further preface, give " Prosperity to the Booksellers' Pro-
vident Retreat."--(Loud applause.)
The health of the Noble Chairman was then drank, after
which the health of Mr. Dickenson was most warmly received,
and several other toasts having been proposed, the company
separated, very much delighted, not only with the benevolent
purpose which had called them together, but with the
agreeable manner in which the day was spent. A sum of
6001. towards the fund for erecting the building was subscribed
before the party separated.

RESCINDING OF THE RULES AND
ORDERS FOR THE DISTRICT ASYLUMS.

It appears by the follOwinf, document sent by the Poor-law
Commissioners to the Churchwardens, Overseers, and other
parochial authorities of the parishes of the " Western Metropo-
litan Asylum District," that the hostile demonstrations against
the recent orders for forming the district asylums for the house-
less poor, have induced the Commissioners to rescind them.

" To the Board of Management of the South-western Me-
tropolitan District Asylum : To the churchwardens and

divisions in which the said district and parishes respectively are
situate ; and to all others whom it may concern.
Whereas by an order bearing date the 30th day of July last,
the Poor-law Commissioners did order and declare that the

wark ; St. Mary, Lambeth, and St. Mary, Newington,
in the county of Surrey, which said several divisions

EFFECTS OF THE STORMS IN FRANCE.—At Ma-
rolette, a little village near Mamers, in the department of the
Maine-et-Loire, several houses were unroofed, a la Asmodeus,
by the violence of the hurricane of the 19th uh. ; and the
electric fluid, after having consumed the greatest portion of the
furniture and melted all the metal in one of them, struck two
persons, who remained for several hours in a cataleptic condi-
tion. At the farm of Butte, near the source of the river,
several lofty trees were torn up by the roots, and almost en-
tirely stripped of their bark and branches. A sow in the farm-
yard was dreadfully burnt, and lay the next moment a heap of
cinders. On the Balton road a person employed in the fields
during the time when the tempest was raging most furiously
saw several trees torn up and hurled to a great distance, and
his companion was lifted from the ground, and thrown into the
midst of a thorny hedge. The poor wretch was fearfully
bruised and pricked by the thorns, and could only be extricated
from the hedge with the assistance of some peasants, who were
compelled to make use of their billhooks to cut out a passage for
his body.

NEW LINES OF STEAM-VESSELS.—New lines of
steamers from this country to distant parts of the world are
constantly forming. On Wednesday last the Novelty sailed
from Liverpool for Constantinople, as the first of a monthly
line of steamers between this port and the Turkish capital. We
see by the Times that steamers have just begun to run between
London and Leghorn, and in a short time the line from Liver-
pool to Rio and the River Plate will commence operations.
British enterprise has now established steam communication
with the following countries :—To Russia, Sweden, and Den-
mark, by the Hull line; to St. Petersburg; to North Ger-
many, by the Hull and London lines to Hamburg; to Holland,
Belgium, and France, by the General Steam Company's ves-
sels; to the north and south of Spain and to Portugal, by the
Peninsular Company's vessels ; to Italy, by the new line from
London to Leghorn ; to Malta, the Levant, and Constanti-
nople, by the new line from Liverpool ; to Egypt, Arabia,
Ceylon, India, Sineapore, and China, by the Oriental Steam
Company's vessels ; to British America and the United States,
by the Cunard and GI eat Western lines from Liverpool ; to the
West Indies, Mexico, and the north coast of South America,
by the West India line ; to Peru and Chili by the West Coast
line. To Brazil and the River Plate by the line now building
in Liverpool. The only British colonies of any importance
which have not now the advantage of steam communication
with the mother country are the Cape, the Mauritius, and
Australian colonies.--Liverpool Times.
