GAS METERS.
TMPORTANT to GAS COMPANIES and CON-
SUMERS of GAS. All the inconveniences arising from
Gas Meters getting out Of action, and ceasing to register (to
the great loss of Gas Companies and serious inconvenience to
Consumers) are prevented by using THOMAS EDGE'S IM-
PROVED METERS, with Patent Lever Valves. These

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
A lighthouse was building on Shortland Bluff, at the
entrance of Port Phillip, and was expected to be lighted
about July last.
CAUTION TO MARINERS- IMPORTANT DIS-
COVERIES.
The Pearl, Burrows, arrived in the Downs from China,
reports on her voyage from Sydney to Manilla, having,
on the 24th September, discovered an island not laid down
in the charts ; it lies in lat. 21, 59 S., lon. (by good chro-
nometers), 168 30 E. ; it is a fine loiiking island, well
onded, with cocoa nut trees close to the beach. At
noon we were within three miles of the east point, which
is in the middle of the island ; off the point a
reef projects about a mile to seaward ; it stretches
in aN.by E. direction 20 to 25 miles, the captain sup-
posing it to be a new discovery, named it Burrows
Island. Two days after we made the Island of Erro-
mange, which proved the chronometers to be correct.
After we got to the northward of the N.E. point, we saw
land stretching a great distance to the N. W.,. it appeared
to be detached from the first island, but night coming on
we could not ascertain. On April 4, in sailing down the
China Sea, we observed the bottom quite plain ; we
sounded in nine fathoms and found the bottom to be
coral. This bank is not laid down in a chart of 1840 ;
the bank is in lat 7 36 N., lon. 111 28 E., by two good
chronometers and lunar taking the day before.
Although we had nine fathoms Water, there may be less
in some parts, and requires a good look out in this part
of the China sea.

RM. SLOOP 211AONET.--Accounts from Sweden state
that the above vessel had been raised from the bottom of
Malmo roads, by means of a diving apparatus, invented
by Count de Wenkerheing. The masts, sails, and rig-
ging. are stated to be in good condition. In the hold
were discovered three skeletons, and
the body of a man
in nearly a perfect state of preservation. The Magnet,
(built of oak,) mounting 18 guns, foundered in the above
the time of her lying

under water a period of 33 years.

Five Hundred
The Committee turned this power to excellent account ;
the Great Yorkshire Handicap and the
Sovereigns Stakes were its immediate fruits, and they
were followed by some judicious alterations in the con-
ditions of the Cup for the folloWing (tire present) year,
and the St. Leger for 1843. The Committee did trot con-
fine their attention. to• the Stakes ; the Earl of
Chesterfield and the late Duke of Cleveland, cheerfully
accepted the Stewardship ; Mr, Clark, " Chief Justice
of the Turf," received the
appointment vacated by Mr.
W. Lockwood ; Mr. P. Perran, of Newmarket, that of
Starter ; and on the death of Mr. J. Lockwood, shortly
after, Mr. Martin that of Clerk of the Course. The
paying and receiving of the stakes were entrusted to
Messrs. Weatherby. The same determination to keep
pace with the times, was conspicuous in the minor ar-
rangements ; the Judge's chair, for the first time, was
removed to a position that enabled him to take a correct
view of the gorses
.as they passed the
post—viz., only
fourteen inches above the ground, instead of six feet six
inches. Additional rails were placed near tire sides of
the inclosure in front of the Stand,
within which police-
men were stationed, to prevent the fradulent transfer of
tickets from those within to those without, a plan that
has been systematically and most extensively practised at
Doncaster and Goodwood for many years. A strong
body of the police were placed, under the orders
of Mr. Etches (successor to the late Mr. Ty-
mins), and Mr, Leadbitter. The telegraph, want-
ing, however, the late improvements, was made
available for the accommodation of the company, and
the usual measures taken for the preservation of order
and the prevention of accidents on the course. To fill
up the evening the theatre is opened under Mr. Ternan's
management, with Mrs. Waylett, Mr. Paul Bedford, Mr.
Wright. and Air. A. Lee, as
"stark" and Weippert's
band is engaged for the balls, The new betting rooms
are opened as usual, and the subscriptions up to this
morning had considerably exceeded those received up to
the same period in 1841. Under these flattering cir-
cumstances the races commenced this afternoon, with
now obsolete Fitzwilliain Stakes, spoilt solely by the
the Yorkshire. Handicap as a welcome substitute for the
nomination of Mr. Orde's ,;elebrated mare, Beeswing.

ADELAIDE GALLERY.

In addition to the other attractions of this delight-
ful lounge, there is a grand Promenade Concert
every evening, supported by some of the best per-
formers of the day, vocal and instrumental. Among
the solo performers we have Mr. Laurent on the cor-
nopean, Mr. Saynor on the flute, young Blagrove on
the concertina, Mr. G. Tyler on the clarionet, and
Mr. Catchpole on the horn ; whilst among the vo-
calists we find Mrs. Wilson, Miss Thornton, Miss
Tyler, Mr. Martin, and Mr. R. F. Smith. The first
of these concerts commenced on Monday evening,
under the able superintendence of Mr. -11. Julian
Adams, who presided at the grand pianoforte. The
performances consisted of a selection of favourite
overtures, quadrilles, and waltzes, with solo parts
for the different instrumentalists, and of quar-

tettes, trios, duets, and solos for the vocalists.
Emanuel's beautiful duet, " The Syren and the Friar,"
was beautifully given by Miss Thornton and Mr. R.
F. Smith. Mr. Smith possesses a magnificent bass
voice, and has paid great attention to its cultivation ;
he is a singer of great promise.. The gem of the even-
ing, however, was the selection from Robert le Diable,
which was admirably performed. Great credit is due
to the gentlemen of the orchestra for the very efficient
way in which this piece was given. After the first
p:lrt of the concert, we had on Monday the exhibition
of the Magical Illusions, and last evening the gas mi.
croscope. After the second part of the concert on
Monday, an Inaugural Essay, paying a high and well
deserved compliment to that real friend to mankind,
the late Dr. Birkbeck, was read; and last evening,
after the conclusion of the concert, the Laughing
Gas was exhibited, the effect of which on the
recipients was ludicrous in the'extreme, producing a
state of complete intoxication, -in which even tee-
totallers might indulge without any violation of their
pledge. The evening's entertainments concluded
with the exhibition of the Biscenascope, and of Mr.
Clarke's beautiful Dissolving 'Views. The different
work-rooms are open as during the morning, and
the artists are all engaged in their usual avocations ;
and in addition to the large and valuable museum of
models, there is a fine . collection of paintings by
British artists. This is one .of those few exhibitions
which instructs while it amuses, and of its spirited
prop tet,or we may, with justice say, "Miscuit utile
(Intel. Spectatorein delectando pariterque monendo."
As the whole of the amitsetnents are over shortly
_

after ten o'clock, the junior branches of families cai;
be indulged in an evening visit to the Ade-
laide Gallery without any. injury to their health,
and certainly to the great improvement of their intel-
lectual faculties, and to the refinement of their taste.
Undoubtedly nothing is of greater inTortance than
to give the youthful mind a taste for refined and in-
tellectual amusements. Such a taste once acquired
can never be wholly lost, and will preserve those who
are fortunate enough to possess it from all temptation
to indulge in those sensual gratifications which to a
refined mind are merely disgusting. We are glad to
see that the exertions of the enterprising proprietor of
this delightful ►'. ace of amusement are appreciated by
the public. The audience was numerous and re-
spectable. On Monday evening there were upwards
of 1,000 persons present, who all seemed highly de-
lighted with the entertainments. The morning
exhibition continues as usual.

TRADESMAN AND OPERATIVE
PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION.
The second annual demonstration of this Associa-
tion came off last night, at Exeter Hall, when a very
large number of persons assembled for the purpose of
hearing the Report read, and a speech from the Rev.
Hugh Stowell. Great pains had been taken, and no
expense spared, to get together a tolerable concourse
on this occasion, and, as far as numbers were con-
cerned, the Society was certainly pretty successful,
but we must observe that the proportion of females to
males was at least in the ratio of twenty to one.
Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Esq. presided.
The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the
night, remarked that it was very pleasing.to observe
so many people now assembled. He then struck
away from the Protestant Association, and observed
that the present Government was the best Government
under Heaven, and he hoped that all before him would
assist that Government in preserving peace and order
at a time of, he might almost say, anarchy and dis-
order, when so many persons stepped out of their own
spheres, and rushed into matters of which they had no
knowledge, for the purpose of disturbing the public
peace.
The Report was read by the Secretary. It did not
speak in very high terms of the flourishing condition
of the Society, or of any increase lately in the
number of its members, or in the amount of its sub-
scriptions. The great gun of the night was the Rev.
Hugh.Stow.ell, ,We did not, indeed, observe any.etber -
eminent man on the platform.
Mr. STOWELL, in an eloquent, though as iniole-
rant a speech as ever we heard, moved a resolution, to
the effect that the increased efforts of the Church of
Rome to re-establish her heretical system in our
land, in defiance of the existing laws of the country,
called for the most strenuous, bold, and energetic
measures from the Protestant Operatives of England,
and all well-wishers to the peace and welfare of their
country.
Several other gentlemen, both reverend and lay-
men, followed ; several resolutions condemnatory of
Popery, &c., were passed, and the meeting broke up
at an early hour.
The enthusiasm of the audience was by no means
so great as we have witnessed on former occasions at
this Hall. Had it not been, indeed, for the exertions
of a number of men stationed throughout the meet-
ing with long staves in their hands who clapped their
hands, stamped with their feet, and thumped with
their sticks when a good thing was said, scarce a clap
or a mark of approbation would have been heard.

CHARTIST MEETINGS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Much indignation and regret has lately been
expressed upon the conduct of the Magistrates and
police, in preventing the public meetings of the
Chartists. I most cordially join in expressing my
regret, that any steps should be taken to prevent the
expression of public opinion ; but the late conduct of
the Chartists at public meetings, has very much dis-
gusted the middle classes, and most respectable
members of society, and made them lukewarm in
their favour.
I am myself one of the middle class, and attended
several Anti-Corn-law meetings, with the sole object
of benefiting the working classes, by opposing the
impolitic, unjust, and iniquitous Corn-laws. Upon
all these occasions, the Chartists most rudely and vio-
lently interrupted the proceedings. They would not
allow any discussion on the subject, and always dis-
turbed the meetings by introducing an amendment,
to, the effect " that they could not expect any re-
dress, or justice, till the Charter became the law of
the land."

The Chartists are now treated in their own way
by the police, who will not allow them to express
their opinions in public ; and I hope the lesson will
not be lost upon them. I detest tyranny of any
kind, but if I must submit to it I. would rather prefer
the tyranny of a Government t(,) that of the Char-
tists. Let us hope they will grow wise by experi-
ence, and in future Illow other persons to express
opinions, though they may not be in accordance with
their own.

The attempt of the Tory papers to connect the late
disturbances in the manufacturing districts with the
Anti-Corn-law League is too ridiculous to require re-
futation, for the great majority of the members of the
League are deeply interested in promoting the or-
derly, good conduct of the workmen. 'The real
authors of the disturbances were the monopolist
landlords, and they, and they only, are responsible for
the consequences. It is dif&ult to say whether their
selfishness exceeds their ignorance, for in making laws
to benefit themselves, to the injury of other classes,
they are not aware that this injury must ultimately
recoil upon themselves, for if the manufacturers cannot
support or employ their workmen the land must.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF NEWS-
PAPERS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sia,—l am much pleased with the intention—so
Far as the writer, perhaps, knew his own intention
—in the composition of the leading article of The
Evening Sun of the 3d of September, as of many of
your leading articles. It has much of the shrewd
remark and good design of most of the offhand
writings of your Paper, with some portion of un-
steady reasoning and needless difficulties. It wishes
present legislators so instructed as most safely and
easily to guide society to the haven which it must
reach, at the very moment it has said that all former
legislators were never so instructed to guide society
to what it is at already—but that it has grown up in
the course of nature, and will most probably in fu-
ture as heretofore. " What is required, therefore,"
it goes on to say, "is to try to make the present
legislation as accordant as possible with the future
state of society." This is a jumble. We must first
know what that future state will be—which is plainly
impossible. It then modestly intimates the unfitness
of English journalists for such a task, and cannot be-
lieve party statesmen equal to it. It concedes the
task to philosophers—the great masters of thought--
though it knows of none such, either at home or
elsewhere. The present state of society is plain
enough; the causes and cure are required, which it
considers as covered with obscurity and difficulty.
Now I think that both causes and cure have been in
your own Paper pointed out very lucidly again and
again. The causes of the prosperity of the country
ana.
almost

inventions..
have. been repeatedly stated in your own Paper, and
with perfect truth, to have been owing, under God,
to the superior skill and industry of the inhabitants
thereof, signally favoured by wonderful local advan-
tages, and by a larger degree of liberty than has been
known elsewhere throughout the old civilised world ;
while the great causes of its all but overbalancing
adversity have been old institutions unrepaired, and
unfitted to modern necessities, and, above all, class
legislation. Thus, Sir, you have been more of a
philosopher and :naster of- deep thought than you re-
collected yourself to be—as I once. knew a good
man, of first-rate genius and capacious memory, ac-
tually forget one of many sermons which he had
written and published, and which had secured the
notice of all the pious reading population of Europe!
But, although you had forgotten, your present reader
had not ; and probably many of your readers bene-
ficially remember what you have written on such
all-important subjects. Let class legislation be de-
stroyed. Let every Englishmen be made free of the
State, and have his voice or vote in the arransroments
of his country. Justice demands this. Equity calls
loudly for it. It is not for us to know the hereafter;
oudor country_
more but we all know what we oughttotoy
We ought to do justly. The man who desires to be
a class legislator, desires to be, and will most surely
.os, defence than cannon and the
be, an unjust legislator. Such a man. may be. pitied
and borne with, but not so his wish. Ills wish
the People's
should be scouted and denied. Equity and justice
