SHALDERS' PATENT PUMP.
At a Vestry Meeting held at St. Michael's at Plea, Nor-
ieb, Ap,-il 28th, 1842, the Parishioners unanimou.ly con-
ratulated Nr. Shalders upon having, last May, fitted the
parish up with an efficient, permanent, economical, and in-
variable Pump (6(I feet in length). It was rightly remarked,
that although the water delivered by the former Pump was corn.
lkoaly cloudy, that delivered by the present one• has been uni-
formly clear, and raised with half the labour.

REMARKS OF THE EDITOR OF THE "NORFOLK
CHRONICLE," ON VIEWING THE PREMISES
AFTER THE FIRE:—
" About half-past one o'clock on Wednesday morning

premises of Mr. Butcher, grocer, Bank-plain, were disd

Mr. Butcher up. It was at first difficult to discover in the
dark what part of the premises was on fire. Mr. Butcher
thought that it originated at his neighbour's house, hut going
up to the top of his premises be perceived where it was ; when
he came down and opened the door of his store-room over the
hack part of his shop, the fire and smoke but st forth so violently
that he could scarcely Stand on his feet. It appears that the
fire bad originated in this store-room directly over a paper loft,
but how, it is impossible to tell. Mr. Shalders, from over the
/ray, immediately brought two of his engines, by means of
Which Mr. Butcher attributes his house bein save ; and per-
haps the whole street, for there being a good al of gun-
powder en the premises, had this ignited the consequences
would have been awful. Notwithstanding the natural agita
Con occasioned by the near prospect of danger from fire. Mr.
,Butcher himself removed the gunpowder from the premises,
and most of the goods from the warehouse and shop were
brought out and deposited for safety in St. Michael's at Plea
Church. he engine from the Guildhall was on the spot
within a few minutes of the first alarm being given, but it

slightest doubt that this fire would have been attended with a
great loss had it not been for the fountain pump, and it was
entirely by that and tho exertions of Mr. Shalders that the fire
was so promptly extingui-hed, it being an hour and ten minutes
before the engines could be got into play ; and at the time the
fire was discovered the whole store-room was in flames, for on
