tation of metals, has succeeded in bringing is public notice the
issost beautiful article ever yet offered : possessing all the rich-
ness of Silver in appearance—with its durability and hardness
--with its perfect sweetness in use—undergoing, as it does, a
chemleal pew:lea by which all that is nauseous in mixedmetals is

C. Watson Isegs the Public will understand that this metal
is peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from
Geld, than bis metal is from all others ; the Public will there-
fore have no difficulty in discovering the animus which directs
the virulent attacks made against him, by a party whe is daliy
suffering from the unparalleled success which has marked the
Progress of His New Plate since its introduction. C. W.,
Unlike this party, courts comparison, feeling confident that the
result will establish its pre-eminence.

ACCIDENT TO THE ISLE OF
THANET STEAMER.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
The Isle of Thanet steamer left Ramsgate on
Mcndaylnorningat ten o'clock for London Bridge,
with about '2OO passengers, I being one among
the number. Upon reaching the pier at Mar-
gate, we took in above 100 more passengers.
We left the harbour at the same time as the
Royal Adelaide. The Duchess of Kent was
ahead of us off Margate. When off the Itecul-
vers, we were alarmed by the sudden escape of
the steam from a pipe near the chimney, ac-
companied with a tremendous noise, not un-
like that which occurs in blowing off the
steam, but much louder, and the stop-
page of the vessel. The Duchess of Kent, which
was still ahead, instantly turned round, came
alongside of us, and tendered assistance. The
Royal Adelaide came on the other side; she,
however, not only offered no assistance, but,
from some circumstance or another, ran against
our paddle-box. Several passengers on board
our vessel shouted " Shame ! shame 1" The
Captain of the Isle of Thanet having stated to
us that the escape of the steam was owing
to a phi", having been forced out of one of
the cylinders, and that the accident would be
speedily rectified, we were satisfied ; and, after
a dole delay, the steam was got up again, and we
proceeded on our voyage ; but just as we passed
the Isle of Sheppy, another arid a loud explosion
of sleam took place, which produced the utmost
consternation. The women and children screamed
and the male passengers insisted upon hailinc,
the Duchess of Kent, which was not far behind':
our Captain at the same time vociferating that
there was " no danger." The Duchess of Kent was
happily soon alongside. I with several others
jumped on board the latter vessel, and many
others wished to follow, but the Isle of Thanet
got away by the command of the Captain. We
proceeded onward, leaving the Thanet behind,
but after the lapse of half an hour we found her
gaining upon us; she soon passed us, and was
'I vout of sight. Some of us shortly
“jeki m
afterwards retired into the saloon, from
whence we were summoned on deck to witness
the condition of the Thanet. There she
was, about two miles below Gravesend, with her
flag flying half-mast high as a signal of distress,
and her anchor down. We instantly went along-
wide, and found that the " concentric wheel," con-
nected with the paddle-wheels, had broken, and
consequently the latter could no longer re-
volve. The scene here was indescribably
painful, from the intense anxiety of all to
get on board tin 4 Duchess of Kent. The
Captain of the Thanet offered Captain Jones, of
the Duchess of Kent, 201. to take lii4 passengers,

SPLIT IN THE TOIL/ TOWN COUNCIL OF COL-
C lIESTE R.-Mr. S. G. Cooke, who recently served the
officetrnj of Mayor of Colchester,
is universally re-
spected by all parties in the town for his straight-
forward and upright conduct, yesterday resigned the
office of Alderman, in disgust at certain proceedings of
that exclusively Tory body, in connection with the
proposed er,-Ttion of a new town-hall for the borough.
The step taken by Mr. Cooke is, we are informed,
likely to be falowed by a few others, who value pri-
vate character more than corporation honours, when

THE BRITISH FARMER'S MAGAZINE..
The promotion of agriculture by the establish-
ment of societies professedly instituted to foster
and tend it, together with the liberal encourage-
ment afforded by them in the shape of prizes and
premiums, has greatly advanced the interest of
the science, which no Magazine better upholds
as its representative than the British Farmers.
The late discoveries of Liebig have, of course,
afforded it additional field and scope for new
views and classes of experiments.

THE BRITISH MAGAZINE.
The state of the Romanist party in the times of
Edward and Elizabeth is noticed in continuation
in the present Number, and the struggles of the
Cameronians reviewed. The acts and devotion of
the Covenanters constitute one of the finest pages
of history, and furnish as high traits of aposto-
lic zeal and sufferance for religion as any sect on
record. The extracts from the anti-Papal preach-
ers of the time are curious. One inveighs in
parti-
cular against a certain species of " Popish Night-
owl," who tn the shape of schoolmasters, " un-
der pretence of teaching gentlemen's children the
Latin tongue, do secretly and privily nuzzle
them in the principles of Papistry."

NORTH OF ENGLAND MAGAZINE.

ture, science, and art, and is conducted with

LITERARY NEWS.
(From the Publisher's circular.)
The beneficial operation of the New Copy
right Act is already sensibly felt in this country,
and will continue to be more and more per-
-mived ; for its provisions are so
ystringent, and its
penalties so severe, against
piracy, that those
who have hitherto trafficked in it with impunity,
now pause and tremble. Circulating libraries in
all parts of the country are compelled to dis-
continue purchasing (even had they

mere hazy possession,
ticketed and
marked as a library book, exposes them to the
101. penalty. The immediate consequence is,
that the libraries are forced to purchase legiti-
mate copies of English works. But a remoter
and far more important consequence may be
perceived : this effect of the new laW will tend to

is time been
But while this good effect produced at home,
we trust it will extend to the Colonies, to which
the Act is expressly extended, and where it is
of the utmost importance that it should be vigo-
rously and faithfully carried out. At present,
they purchase almost exclusively these pirated
American and French copies of English books,
both for libraries and individuals. The publish-
ing and export houses at home have only to put
their foreign agents on the qui vice, and we shall
soon have to report the same beneficial effects in
our colonial possessions, whi▪
ch, with gratitude6to
the Legislature, we now announce that we are
experiencing at home.
" A Continuation of Rot teck's Universal His-
tory" has been publishedin German, by K. H.
Hermes, under the title of " Geschichte der
Letzten 25 Jahre" (History of the last Twenty-
five Years), in two volumes. It is written in a
truly liberal spirit, and a plain, unpretending.
style; and receives a certain• kind of unity fromits commencing with the formation of the Holy
Alliance, and then pursuing the events in the
Ilight of the ideas which actuated the Sovereigns
who formed that celebrated alliance. Accord-
ing to the author's opinion, the spell with which
they had nearly succeeded in binding the conti-
nental nations was first broken by the late Mr.
