that there is an increase in the balance of bad or doubt-

plain, does not arise from any new transactions, but has
been occasioned by the colonial managers having now re-
p rted as doubtful and bad sundry old debts which they
had hitherto returned as good. A comparison of the re-
ports on bad and doubtful debts down to 31st December,

The Directors regret that, under the circumstances
exhibited in the above statements, they find themselves
again obliged to recommend the Proprietors to persevere
in abstaining from a dividend, and to permit the
amount of profit made during the half-year end-
ing December 31, 1844, after deducting all current ex-
penses, viz.
Less half-yearly proportion of prelimi-

nary expenses - 1,000 0 0

£9,776 12 8
to be carried to the credit of bad and doubtful debt ac-
count, which will reduce the balance to 66,4061. 6s. 10d.

The Directors had flattered themselves they would
have been enabled on the present occasion to re-
port an increased amount of profit as compared
with that of the previous half-year ; but the
sudden termination of the crop in many of the colonies
at an unusually early period, by an unlooked for acces-
sion of bad weather, and its consequent diminution, had
the effect of materially checking the bank's operations,
and )f..decreasing its profits, even to a slight degree be-
low those of the preceding six months. On a comparison,
however, of the prufits made daring the entire year
1844 with those of the preceding year, they will be
found better by upwards of 2,200/.
With reerence to had and doubtful debts, the balance
of that account will have been reduced by nearly 50,000/.
compared with that stated to the Proprietors at the half-
yearly meeting held in January, 1244.
It affords the Directors satisfaction to be able to state
that since the commencement of the present year the
operations of the bank in the colonies have ken steadily
increasing, and, they trust, without undue risk, as the
transactions appear to be of a sound and satisfactory
character. They consequently expect, at the next half-
yearly meeting, to have an improved statement to
submit to the Proprietors, as the accounts of the half
year just ended., which are thus far in their possession,
exhibit an increase of profit arising from the extension
of busihess. On the whole, the Directors are of opinion
the prospects of the bank are improving, and with an
appearance of steadiness which leads them to hope that,
with a little further exercise of that forbearance which
the Proprietors have hitherto displayed, the corpora-
tion will surmount the effects of those adverse circum-
stances under which it has laboured for some time past,
and will eventually reward the Proprietors, and, at the
same time, fulfil the expectations of its founders.

SERIOUS AFFRAY in LIVERPOOL

Yesterday afternoon the inhabitants of the lower end of
Dale-street, Byrom-street, Great Crosshall-street, Lace- at' eet,
Fontenoy-street, and the various other streets which inters cot
that densely-populated locality, were kept in a state of great
commotion by a mob which had assembled and attacked a body
of Orangemen. It appears that Orangemen to the number of
150 had been walking in procession at the funeral of a deceased
brother. The funeral proceeded from New Bird-street, Tox-
teth-park, the residence of the deceased, to St. Mary's Ceme-
tery ; and, after the deceased had been interred, the procession
was returning to the Park by Scotland-road, Byrom-street,
and, we believe, Dale-street. The Orangemen composing' it
wore black sashes, tied, in some instances, at the ends with
orange ribbons. When they had reached the end of Great
Crosshall-street, the crowd which had been accompanying them
down Scotland-road was considerably reinforced by the Irish-
men resident in Lace-street and other low streets in that
neighbourhood. The Irishmen appear to have been the ag-
gressive party, exasperated, no doubt, by the display of orange
ribbons. A stone was thrown, and then a volley of stones fol-
lowed. The Orangemen, who were walking two deep, and were
only accompanied by about 16 policemen, immediately halted
and made an attempt to repel their assailants. In this they
were, to a certain extent, successful, for they drove them up
some of the adjacent streets, with the assistance of the
police. The uproar, however, drew large bodies of other Irish-
men to the spot, and the mob, having in this way regained
strength and courage, made the Orangemen, after a vigorous
resistance, fly before them. We have been assured by the
policemen and others who witnessed the melee, that stones and
brickbats were flying about as thick as hail during the greater
part of the affray. Happily no life was lost on the occasion,
and the injuries so far as we could ascertain, were very few.
Mr. Superintendent M'Donald received a very severe blow of
a stone on the leg, and had to be conveyed home in a ear. In-
spector Bibby was struck on the jaw, and two or three of the
force were wounded slightly in the upper part of the head.
When the affray had lasted about half an hour, the Orangemen
were induced quietly to make the best of their way home
through some of the by-streets leading towards London-road;
and Mr. Dowling, and very shortly after Superintendent Le-
verett, having come up with strong detachments of the police
force from the neighbourhood of the docks, the mob were over-
awed, and all active disturbances was from this moment at an
end. Besides the injuries already mentioned, several panes of
glass were broken, and part of a shop sign was carried away by
the force with which the stones were thrown. Mr. Dowling
continued until about half-past eight in the evening to peram-
bulate a large section of the constabulary force in the streets in
the vicinity, which were densely crowded by the lower classes;
but about that hour a heavy shower of rain fell, which dispersed
them to their homes without much trouble or delay. We
should not omit to mention that three Roman Catholic clergy-
men also remained in the neighbourhood during the evening,
and used their exertions to allay the excited feelings of the
people.— Liverpool Albion.

THE PRESERVATION OF LIFE,
(From George Cruikshank's Table-Book. No. VII.
When walking the streets of a great city, nothing has
struck us so forcibly as the general neglect of means for
the preservation of li;e from the ravages of fire. There
is scarcely a street in London but has given frightful
testimony to the horrors of death by burning ; and yet
there seems to be such universal apathy upon the sub-
ject, that nowhere can you find that any earnest, perse-
vering endeavours have been made to secure the co- ope •
ration of neighbours for mutual preservation. The Le-
gislature has interfered for the protection of propel ty from
lire, and made the erection of party-walls compulsory. It
has done nothing fur the protection of life from the same
fearful destroyer.
The stret is have been tunnelled from one end to the
other of this great metropolis, to ensure the comfort of
the in-dwellers—it was a gigantic thought to drain such a
mighty city !
Water has been brought from distant places, and
conveyed through conduits and pipes to the dwellings of
the most humble. Earth had to be delved, and rocks
blasted, to effect this tremendous work !

Gas, subtle and tr,aeherous as it is, is brought safely
to our doors, even into our houses.

We walk as it were upon a mine; but such has been
the perseverance of man, such the triumph of know-
ledge, that the mighty power is made subservient to his
will, to be used as a blessing and a security.* But the
subjugation of gas was the labour of nearly 200 years!
And the conquest was worth the sti uggle!
When such vast things have been done by co opera
tion for the comfort• of the cominu,,ity, is it not wonder-
ful that nothing worthy the name of exertion has been
tried for the preservation of life from fire, when the
means must be so insignificant in point of cost and diffi-
culty, although so greatly conducive to the security from
that most horrible of deaths—death by fire ?
We feel that in devoting- the pages of the Table-Book
to the consideration of this subject, we are discharging a
duty we owe to our fellow-crt at ures, and, therefore, offer
no apology for the plans which we here put forward for
the remedy of the evil of which we complain. Our designs
may be imperfect or objectionable, but they may suggest
to others better and more pfacticable modes of escape
from the horrors of conflagration. The simplest and
surest escape is a continuous balcony erected in frant si
the upper windows of every house. This is so obvious,
that it is unnecessary to advance one word in favour of
the plan. We shall confine ourselves simply to the ob-
jections that may be urged against it.
Ist. The facility that balconies are sail to give to
robbery.
To us nothing can be more futile than this objection.
Stronger fastenings to the windows would as effectually
secure the second or third-floor windows as locks
and bolts do the street-door. Even were this
objection tenable, we consider that less is to
be apprehended from the burglar who filches
the contents of a jewel-case or a drawer, than
from that fierce assailant that devours a man's sub-
stance, and suffocates him with reekings of the feast.
The destroyer which bursts into the chamber, and curl.,
about the bed and breathes its smoke into the nostrils,
until the head grows dizzy, and the heart faint, leaving
the wretch, thus made conscious of its desolating pre-
sence, scarcely time or thought for flight. Bewildered
as he is, he knows not where to seek a refuge ; his mind,
unaccustomed to revel t to any means for safety in such
an emergency, has to joint its plans, and not to will the
execution of those often considered and relied on. Were
the balcony understood by the household to be the escape
from fire, impulse and the instinctive love of life would
generally guide the inmates of a burning house to their
place of refuge.
The plan which we annex seems to remedy the ob-
jection as originally stated, and to render fire ladders
unnect ssary.
The sketch represents a balcony extending in the front
of the upper windows of a house, and having two move
able ends, secured by a latch, and attached to a spring
which communicates with a bell. In the case of fire, the
end, being unfastened, falls to the edge of the adjoining
balcony, and at the same time rings a bell. The end
being released falls inwards, and thus opens a communi-
cation with the adjoining house. The bell would pre-
vent any improper use bing made of the balcony, and
if so constructed, would serve as an alarum.
2d. The formation of a continuous balcony would be
impracticable where houses were of different altitudes.
In such case we would propose the erection of " Fire
Galleries," made in the form of a balcony, but having
iron shutters between each window, in orcer that persons
seeking refuge might be protected from danger, should
any flames issue from the adjoining windows. Ten or
twelve persons might remain uninjured for a length of
time in one of these fire-galleries, or until such • time as
the fire-ladders could be brought to their rescue.
A ladder of iron placed in the front of the house, and
so constructed that a person might descend between
and the wall, would also afford a safe mode of escape.
We repeat that we do not put forward these plans as
pre-eminently ad, isable, but the Legislature that compels
the formation of party-walls and sewers, ought to make
the erection of some such simple and effective escape
compulsory upon the landlord of every house in the
metropolis.
As we are upon this subject, we shall not hesitate to
speak of another matter of gross neglect, where the life
of woman is inure particularly at stake. We allude to
the construction of fenders. How often is the public
heart wrung by statements of some glad and lovely
creature being reduced to a mass of hideousness by the
ignition of the dress which was to have lent adornment
to her beauty, even by the unexpected opening of a door!
Could not the frequency of such calamities be diminished
by adopting some other form of construction for the
fender? We would suggest the introduction of a perpen-
dicular ornament rising from the centre.

We will now add an extract from a letter which
we have received from our worthy friend, " The Old
Sailor :"

4‘ It is a fearful thing in a dismal and dreary night,
when the gale is howling above, and the breakers are
roaring below, to be lashed helpless to some cleat or
mist, or shroud, whilst the wild waves beat over the
sufferers, whose hopes have been driven away by the
threatened death that appears inevitable. Dreadful are
the feelings as the ship writhes upon the rocks which
grind her stout timbers to mere powder—horrible to
witness the raging of the ocean as it seems to deride in
mockery the cries of the despairing crew and passengers.

Alas ! from thence ihere's—no retreating.'
The ship must be their coffin, and the bilbiwy ocean
their watery grave. Those who have not experienced
such visitations, can never form an adequate idea of, the
horrdrg That rush out of the blackness of darkness to
torture the spirits of the afflicted, as they behold first
one, and then another, washed away, and, for a few
seconds, struggling iu the white foam of the sea against
the destruction that ensues. Even should the weather
be fine when a wreck takes place—it may be after a
storm—or, striking on the rocks that the leak may still
overwhelm the sinking craft in smooth water—the keen
agony is the same—and, oh ! to hear the piercing shriek
as the last death-pang separates time from eternity, its
thrilling sounds are never to be forgotten.
" Now, much of this might be prevented, and that, too,
by the simplest means. The Chinese are far before us
in this matter. When their large junks go to sea, each
passenger takes his own merchandise under his imme-
diate care ; and it is rarely, if ever known, that they
neglect to carry with them three piees of stout bamboo,
formed into a kind of triangular seat ; sometimes they
have four pieces fixed in a square. These being
hollow, will not only float, but will also sustain.
great weight ; and a fri, nd assurel us that he was
eye-witne3s to the wreck cf one of these large
junks, when crew and passengers clapped these pieces of
bamboo round their bodies under their arms, and threw
themselves into the fickle waves. The burning rays of
the sun came down with fierce intensity,t but John
Chinaman was prepared even for that. Like P:,ul Pty,
the everlasting umbrella was at hand—it was promptly
hoisted, and away tney went for :he sh.)re, con v, ring
as freely as the noise would admit; and truly ludicrous
was their appearance, resembling a fleet of gigantic
mushrooms broke adrift from their moorings,—but all
were saved.

" And what does this simple contrivance suggest?
The facility of preserving life. Let every article on
board our ships bi- made of a therout.thly floating nature:
chairs, stools, tables, mattresses, at. d boats. Nay, more
—every individual, male and female, should fuialish
themselves, the men with waterproof waistcoats, the
ladit s with pelerines, which may be blown and distended
by the breath. We have seen some of this kind covered
with black satin, that look quite handsome; and, when
their uses are taken into consideration, invaluable in
the time of peril. When we hear of the melancholy
occurrences that have taken place- in steam boats, we
would ask, why are they not all constructed in com-
partments with double bottoms, and especially at the
most probable point of collision—the bows ? It is, in-
deed, a matter for serious contemplation."
We trust that none of our readers will consider the
small space which , we have devoted to this subject as
misapplied—imperfectly as we feel we have executed the
task thus voluntarily undertaken : but having the ad-
vintaevs of illustration at command, we have preferred
the risk of disappointing a few of our good friends, who
look to our pages for mirthful sentences alone, to incur-
ring the self-reproach of having maintained silence upon
a subject which we feel to be importancas aff•cting the
good of Many of our fellow-creatures, and which could
not have been so clearly put forward without the eluci-
dation of our per Mil.

MEMOIRS OF SOPHIA DOROTHEA, CONSORT OF
GEORGE :1.-With the exception 6f Mary, Queen of
Scots, no illustrious personage has excited so much in-
terest and sympathy as the subject of this memoir. Her
whole life, as related in these pages, is a perfect romance.
The dreadful hatred of the Countess Platen towards her
Royal Highness, the devilish acts with which she pur-
sued her to ruin, and the cold-blooded and cruel murder
of Count Konigsmark by the same fiendish hand, makes
us believe we are reading some recital of the cruelty of a
female Borgia, rather than those of a German lady of
the last century. The true features of the drama are
now for the first time published, gathered from various
German documents, and from the diary of the unfor-
tunate Princess herself, written during her long confine-
ment in the fortress of Ahlden. Independently of the
interest these memoirs must excite on account of the
ill-starred Princess, whose persecution they set forth, a
vast number of contemporary portraits are given, which
add great value to its pages The politic, yet week-
minded Elector of Hanover ; the Platens, tit-Jae devil. in
human shape ; the corrupt Bernet orf ; Madame Schu.
lenburg, and others of the ugly harem of George the
First ' • Frederick Augustus, the Sardanapa]us of the
North ; and last, not least, the handsome and notorious
Count Konigsmark, figure most prominently in this in-
Westing history.— Weekly Chronicle.

LOCOMOTIVE STEAM-ENGINES{
The paper read at the last meeting of the InstitutionEe.,
Civil Engineers was by Mr. J. G. Bodmer, M. Intit• C. re
" On the advantages of working engines with higil-Pro-d
steam expansively and et great velocities." The author b
his observations upon the principle of a cousiderable .are
a;
piston being essential for taking advantage of the initts
impulse of highly elastic steam, in contradistinction to the do,
of its percussive action, which had some time ago found a .
cates. In order, therefore, to take advantage
and be enabled to cut off the steam at an early period eitailog
stroke, the piston, at short intervals, and consequently m
over
a great number of strokes within a given time, must travel
a limited distance, that as little as possible of the heat, Bode
sequently of the elasticity, should be lost. short
It has been generally acknowledged that the action of as
crank and rapid stroke is very disadvantageous to the ftaraT,D,
and foundations of ordinary engines. Mr. Bodmer has, in s°o-0
strutting his compensating engines, concentrated the at!`t`o,
of this acilv‘be
and confined the strain to the crank, connecting rod, and 145,1,0
rod. By this circumstance, he has beta enabled to carry
expansive principle to such an extent as to deliver the st.e:in
into the condenser almost in a state of mere vapour, or
three pounds of a vacuum. The saving of fuel must, t
able
fcre, be in proportion, and must be a very consider
reduction of the actual weight of the machinery and of 1,
coals on board steam-vessels on long voyages. The pal-
considered at great length the reasonings upon these pal-
considered
ciples, and in tabular forms gave the comparative result's of
this and the ordinary engines. The peculiar constructiono

and detailed drawings, shooing the peculiar action of the The

yes
;,rcat difficulty encountered appeared to have been in the 'tio
of the air pump, which were destroyed by the extreme rarulgir;
of the action ; this was provided for by constructing an su
pump without valves. By a peculiar arrangement
and a ater passages, it became practicable to substitute for r.ae,
ordinary cover a piston travelling through a very limitedalloll
and for the air-pump bucket a solid piston travelling the, d
length of stroke. The valves were thus done away with, and
the action of the engine became complete. This constritetl,4
has been adopted with great success on several stationary se;
locomotive engines, and is now being applied to marine, jpe
gines, to which it is peculiarly applicable, as it is of grel" ro.
portance to be enabled to work the Archimedian screw P

Mr. J. Woods exhibited and explained the action of ,of

of the the
consequence of its inability to adjust the valve to the al je.
circumstances of the lead of the engine, Mr. Siemens ent
vented the chronometric governor. The new iltstruni••
was stated to have been at work successfully for some
at Carpenter's corn-mills, Shad Thames. It consists ch.rs
of a heavy pendulum, which is allowed to move t°,‘

it is connected with the horizontal pinion above, is;
therefore moves in union with it ; an endless screw it

drawn by a constant weight in a horizontal direction; and
therefore a tendency to produce a revolution of the pin° iso
pendulum. This horizontal screw must be turned by then engest
at the exact velocity necessary to insure its running loa
with the pinion, driven at the constant velocity, dependld is
the length of pendulum ; and should the engine sucte:
turning the screw at the proper velocity no horizontal

tioned, continues a constant driving power, independent odtb,

friction of the pendulum. If the load, or the supply (r.,:, ivy
varies, a tendency to alter the speed of the horizontal shaft,
mediately commences, and it takes up a new position, by Itaiot
travelled faster, or slower, than the pendulum and its polo
and it retains this altered position, and consequently thetist
justment of the valve, by means of appropriate connecoi
levers, until the conditions of equilibrium of load and P°

The action of this governor is so sensitive, that no Ora
of the speed of an engine, when 40 per cent. of its
thrown off, can be observed, for the entire change is roil
formed in one-fiftieth of the revolution of the fly-wheel Leo.
change absorbs or adds a portion of the momentum of the Vicb
