Families wishing to try any of the above are recommended to
order them through their own tradesmen, taking notice, however,
that these being the London Cash Prices, the Country Dealer must
charge higher to cover his expenses of carriage. Where no dealer
can be found willing to sell them, Edward Price and Co. will supply
quantities of not less than 5/. worth, direct from their manufactory,
at Belmont, Vauxhall. On receiving a Post-office order for this
amount, they will forward Candles and 011 in the proportions that
may he directed ; or, to parties wishing for samples and unable to
obtain them, they will, on receiving a 1/. Post-oftice order, forward a
box containing 31bs of each of the four sorts of Candles, and a
gallon of the Oil. They fix the price of the sample bex so high, to
avoid all suspicion of their wishing to interfere with the retail trade
of the-Country Dealers.
The trade may obtain the above Candles and Oil wholesale, in
London, from Edward Price and Co., Belmont, Vauxhall ; Palmer
and Co., Sutton-st,cet, Clerkenwell ; and W. Marchant, 253, Regent-

HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL RIVER
YACHT FAIRY.
This beautiful little vessel, built of iron in the strongest manner,
by Ditcliburn and Mare, 145 feet in length and 21 feet breadth of
beam, and 25t1 tons hurthen, fitted with oscillating engines, by
John Penn and Son, was tried down the river yesterday for the
fourth time. The Fairy left Deptford about nine o'clock A.M.,
under the ch rge of Commander Smith of the Woolwich Dockyard,
with an officer and crew of the Black Eagle, asid the Royal Marines
of the William and Mary yacht. Slr. John Penn, engineer, and his
assistants, went on board at Deptford, and Mr. Lloyd, chief engineer
at Woolwich Dockyard, embarked at that port to ascertain the speed
of the vessel and the working of the machinery. This handsome
vessel, which distanced all the other steamers on the progress down
the river, is propelled with an astonishing degree of speed de-
cidedly far exceeding the greatest ever previously obtained by the
screw propeller, with which she had been fitted on Mr. F. P.
Smith's plan. The great speed of this vessel has been obtained by
a very ingenious adaptation of the double slides to Mr. John
Penn and Son's engines, which renders them more eligible than
any other description of engines for screw propellers. When op.
posite the measured nautical mile in Long Reach, the speed of the
royal river yacht Fairy was calculated by Mr. Lloyd, and found to
be, after ten trials, above thirteen knots on the average reckoning,
and against wind and with the tide, upwards of fifteen statute
miles per hour. The vessel rides in the water remarkably easy,
notwithstanding her great velocity, and is so stiff and upright in a
breeze, or when the whole have moved to one side, as to show
scarcely any perceptible difference in her perpendicular position.
The engines, by Messrs. John Penn and Son, are two of 64-horse
power, each making 48 strokes per minute, and causing, by the aid
of the cog-wheel attached to them, 248 revolutions of the screw
propeller in the same period o' time. The engines are very com-
pact, and, owing to their oscillating movements, only occupy a very
small space in the vessel, 14 feet by 4 feet ten inches, and the
connecting axle of the screw is entirely under the cabin floor,
near the keel of the vessel. The beauty of the workmanship, and
perfect adaptation of every part of the engines to each other, was
clearly shown during the trial, as not the slightest degree of heat.
ing took place, but every part worked with the greatest smoothness.
It is expec•ed the vessel will be completed in a few weeks, and ex.
ceed in speed the fastest paddle-wheel steamer in any service.
When opposite Charlton pier en her return, the Fairy allowed No.
L I Waterman, fast boat, to get ahead, and, putting on her speed,
distanced that vessel before she got to Blackwell. The draught of
the Fairy is 4 feet 4 itu forward, and 5 feet 4 inches aft, and
the height of the principal cabin, 6 feet 2 inches, and altogether
very commodious and suitable for the purpose for which she has
been built.

FORTUNATE RECovERY OF 4001.—Thursday an
elderly gentleman, named Hamilton, arrived by one of the trains
at the terminus of the Great Western Railroad, at Paddington, from
Bristol, and on his arrival he hired a cab to convey him and his
baggage to Guildford-street, Russell.square, where he alighted, and
the luggage was removed into the house. In about ten minutes
afterwards Mr. Hamilton discovered that he had left his pocket-
book in the c_ b, containing Bank of England notes to the amount
of 4001: Mr. Hamilton accompanied by his friend, immediately
started off in pursuit of the cabman, and for that purpose proceeded
to the nearest cabstand in Gray's-Inn-lane, when to their grati-
fication they found the cab and driver. On opening the door the
book was found in a corner of the seat where Mr. Hamilton had
Tb' cotes and the bille ~,ere all We.
