PATENT PARAGON CAMPIIINE LAMPS.

- -
The perfection of these Lamps over the Vesta has been
happily attained by the invention of two parallel fiat rings—a larger
and a smaller fofming a cone round the margin of the wick, which
cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus condensing
every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell,
having perfect combustion, and in frill action, emits a light equal to
wax candies.
C. Watson's Wareheaaes, 41 and 42, Harbicatt. and 16, Norton
Folgate, will contain, throughout the season, all the most elegant
recherche and new patterns, comprising Or-molu, China, Glass, and
Opal.
Old Oil Lamps fitted with the Paragon Head for 21a. And the
Paragon Apparatus applied to the Vesta for 6s. The Spirit analysed
and recommended by Dr. tre, is delivered in screw cans by C.
Watson's carts, at 4a, Per

a new tariff of duties.

the dwelling and out-buildings of M. Von Vlotle,

boo and wood, the fire spread so rapidly that nothing
could be saved. The mills, the warehouses, and their
contents, happily escaped.
There was also a fire in the capital of Socracartas

bringing to Public Notice the most beautiful Article ever yet offered ;
possessing all the richness of Silver In appearance, with all its dura-
bility and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in nse, undergoing, as
it does, a Chemical I'rocese, by which, all that is nauseous In mixed

wishes It to be tested, and from the daily increasing eulogiums he re-
ceives, he is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming an
article of universal wear.

PATIZNT PARAGON C.A.MPIILSE LAMTS,
The perfection of these Lamps over the Vesta has been
happily attained by the invention of two parallel flat rings—a larger
and a smaller forming a cone round the margin of the wick, which
cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus condensing
every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell,
having perfect combustion, and In dill action, emits a light equal to
16 wax candles.

C. Watson's Warehouses, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton
Folgate, will contain, throughout the season, all the most elegant
recherche and new patterns, comprising Or-molu, China, Glass, and
Opal.

-
ISLAND OF HERM, OPPOSITE GUERNSEY.
The following letter contains particulars of some in'
terest to the shipping interest .
Guernsey, Nov. 18, 1844.
Sir,—The proprietor of the Island of Herm, whi!h
lays immediately opposite the town, complains that din°
culties are placed in the way of vessels proceedil
there to load stone, while none exist in respect
vessels going to St. Sampson's, although, he contenuet
the cases are precisely similar. I understand that Ilerr,
has been considered as no port, and therefore vessel
are not warranted in laying there to take in cargo, 1111
also, that as Herm is a small islet, separated from
Guernsey, that going there may :be considered 1;
a deviation, the consequence of which difficulty is, till
many vessels refuse to proceed there, and others
only go on payment of sixpence per ton extra freight
which upon stone is a very serious difference. Now,
harbour of Herm is inclosed by a jetty of about th""
hundred feet long, and vessels are in safety ; theref d
I think it can scarcely be considered as no port ; 6'4
as regards a deviation vitiating the insurance, I
that as Herm is only a small islet, absolutely depecue%
on Guernsey, and within two miles and a half of 11
island, and as near St. Peter's port as St. Sampson
I cannot understand why a difference should be 031,‘
The proprietor is prepared to buoy off tho entracv;
to the harbour, and to perform such other forraslitl,
as may be requisite to remove these differences. The',
are pilots living on the island.—l remain, &c.

Lord-Lieutenant, at the Vice-Regal-lodge, Phoenix-park.
The deputation on the part of the Society consisted of
Sir I:obert Shaw, Bart., Henry Kemmis, Esq., and Sir
William Bothatn, Vice-Presidents of the Society ; Isaac
Weld and L. E. Foot, Esqs., Honorary Secretaries ; the
lion. Thomas Yesey, M.P. ; Lieutenant-Colonel Colomb,
and Robert Wybrants, Esq.
The address having been read, his Excellency gave
the following answer :
" Gentlemen, Vice-Presidents, Council, and Members
of the Royal Dublin Society—
" I receive with great satisfaction the congratulations
you are pleased to address to me upon my arrival in this
country.
" I had the pleasure of visiting your Institution very
shortly after I had been installed in the high office her
Most Gracious Majesty has been pleased to confide to
me, and of examining, in detail, the various interesting
collections which it contains ; and I was convinced, by
all that came under my observation, that its reputation
was in no way exaggerated, but that it was an establish-
ment conferring equal honour on those entrusted with
its management as on the nation by which it was en-
couraged and maintained,
't The liberality with which admissions to your
valuable library are granted to the public, and the deli-
very of lectures, by which every one so disposed may

profit, are proofs of your anxiety to disseminate as
widely as possible the advantages of instruction, and by
a more general diffusion of knowledge to contr,bute to
the development of the industry and resources of the
country.
" I feel honoured, Gentlemen, by your choice of me
as President of your Society—an honour which I grate-
fully accept. Whatever protection and encouragement
the situation I hold enables me to offer will be always at
your disposal.
" I trust, Gentlemen, you will never have reason to
believe that I feel less interest in the success and pros-
perity of your Institution than was felt by the distin-
guished nobleman who preceded me in my present office."

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

Douglas Jerrold's domestic drama of The Rent Day
was produced here last night, both as regards the cast
of the principal characters and the getting up, in a
very complete manner. Mr. J. Wallack's impersona-
tion of Martin Heywood is well known, and is, in
fact, inseparable from the reputation of the play itself.
It is now some time since he has appeared in London
in characters of this nature; but, however he may
aspire to the higher walk of the drama, we do not
think he can ever suffer from these humbler assump-
tions. He displays in the part of Martin Heywood
a rough energy and a flow of passionate feeling,
which, while it is in the highest degree effective as,
regards the stage, preserves all the simple nature
which the author has thrown into this and the other
characters grouped immediately about him. Mrs.
Stirling as Rachel Heywood, though perhaps lacking
strong passion, made a profound impression by her
thorough earnestness and amiable simplicity of man-
ner. Walter Lacy's Silver Jack, as well known as
Wallack's Martin Heywood, was as effective as ever.
Granby made as much of Crumbs as could be, but it
is an incongruous character, which is exceedingly
difficult to deal with, as, between his present villany
and his former wrongs, the interest is perplexed.
With regard to Mr. Compton's Bullfrog, it appeared
that he was desirous to give an uniform colouring to
the drama, and consequently gave the part a melan-
choly tune, which we do not, however, think was the
author's intention. The tableaux were all admirably
arranged, and drew down immense applause, as, in-
deed, did the piece throughout, and it will doubtless
prove of service for many future " off-nights."

PATENT PARAGON CAMPRINE LAMPS.

The perfection of these Lamps over the Vesta has been
happily attained by the invention of two parallel flat rings—a larger
and a smaller forming a cone round the margin of the wick, which
cause a rapid reverberation. of air against the flame—thus condensing
every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell,
having perfect combustion, and In full action, emits a light equal to
16 wax candles.

FRASER'S MAGAZINE.

Not withstanding its Toryism, which is notoriously of
an inveterate character, this Magazine speaks out on the
subject of " Lord Ellenborough and the Affairs of
India" with a boldness, and even fierceness, that
could scarcely be exceeded by the sourest member; of
that unhappy party whose hard lot it is to sit shivering
on the Opposition side of the House, •uncheered in
this, their v-ason of gloom, by the slightest prospect
of again basking in the sunny paradise of office. Not
only is his Lordship accused of a " bad temper,"
" haughty disposition," and " insufferable self-con-
ceit," but Fraser deliberately adds that, " by the pe-
culiar constitution of his mind, he is quite unfit to be
entrusted with the chief management of the affairs of
India !" His proceedings in Sinde and elsewhere are
then canvassed in a strict, minute spirit of inittiri,

SUMMARY OF %E.

AND

Ditnton,

" Who runs may read."

~'3REZGN.

The,King. of the French, accompanied by General Du-
rosnel, Colonel de Chabannes, and the Marquis de Strada,
went to St. Cloud on Tuesday afternoon, and returned to the
Tuileries to dinner. In the evening their Majesties received
Lord Cowley, the Minister of the Grand Duchy of Hesse,
General Changarnier and Baron Deponthon, the Duke and
Duchess de Reggio, the Marquis de Dalmatie,_ Count Sdgur,
Count and Countess Serrurier, the Prefet of the Loiret, and
M. de Lahaye Jousselin.
The funeral obsequies of Count d'Ambrugeac, Peer of
France, took place on Wednesday at the church of St.
Thomas d'Aquin. The cords of the pall were held by the
Duke Decazes, the Marquis de Lauriston, Viscount Dode,
and a friend of the family. The grand deputation of the
Chamber of Peers was composed of twenty-five Members,
but several other Peers were also present.
The great subject of conversation in the offices of the Mi-
nister of the Marine, says the commerce, is a magnificent
steamer now being built at Brest, and finishing in a style of
splendour as to accommodations, gilding, and painting, fer
the purpose of conveying the Royal Family to England.
The Copenhagen official journal publishes an ordonnance
of the King of Denmark, for ameliorating the condition of
the slaves in the Danish West India islands of St. Croix. In
the preamble to the ordonnance, the King expresses his sa-
tisfaction at the readiness with-which the planters in all the
three islands have made sacrifices in order to enable the Go-
vernment to adopt the above provisions.
A grand ball will be given by the President of the Cham-
ber of Deputies, after Easter, at the Palais Bourbon. In
addition to the vast saloons of that building, a large room
will be constructed of wood in the garden for the occasion.
The 31oniteur .states that the following proposition has
been made to the Government by a Company for the execu-
tion of a railroad from Paris to Strasburg : Ist, a lease of 46
years and 324 days ; 2d, to share the profits with the State
after 10 per cent. ; 3d, the gratuitous surrender of the road
at the expiration of the concession.
The same journal publishes the Customs' Bill, which has
been prevented to the Chamber of Deputies by the Minister
of Commerce. It is of great length, occupying nearly eleven
columns of the Illonitcur, and is for a great part a recapitula-
tion of official documents which have been already published.
Three deputies, Messrs. Maguin, Lasalle, and Teeters, have
introduced a bill for the purpose of preventing the adultera-
tion of wine, and for the more effectually punishing those
guilty of committing it. The principal conditions of the bill
are :—To increase the amount of penalties, or to make the
cases punishable by the correctional tribunals ; to forbid the
manufacture of vinegar at Paris; to organise an extensive
service of inspectors ; and to limit mid regulate the making
of wines. It is proved that in ten years the loss of the re-
venue, in Paris alone, by the adulteration of wines, has
amounted to 80,000,000 of francs.
