Whole uniform streams of water directly into the flames with
unerring certainty and such surprising impetuosity, that the

REMARKS BY EMINENT MEN UPON THE IN-

'Pets and liabilities of the Friction Pump, and approaches a

to choke."—Hay, Civil Engineer.--" This is THE Pump."

• JOINTLY.—" The Fountain Pump is the most important
anprovement in the art of raising water, that has appeared
Within the last 2,000 years. It is the greatest advancement in
the useful arts in modern times, and cannot fail to act in the
preservation of life and property front fire and water to an ex-
tent beyond calculation."

SH ALDERS' PATENT PUMP.
At a Vestry Meeting held at St. Michael's at Plea, Nor-
April 213th, 1842, the Parishioners unanimously con-
tratulated Mr. Shalders upon having, last May, fitted the
parish up with an efficient, permanent, economical, and in-
variable Pump (60 feet in length). It was rightly remarked,
that although the water delivered by the former Pump was com.
*only cloudy, that delivered by the present one has been uni-
formly clear, and raised with half the labour.

thanks to those friends and neighbours who so kindly and
Promptly rendered them their assistance to extinguish the Fir*

And the, likewise take this opportunity particularly to re-

found so efficient in preserving their premises from total de-
struction.

REMARKS OF THE EDITOR OF THE "NORFOLK
CHRONICLE," ON VIEWING THE PREMISES

AFTER THE FIRE :
" About half-past one o'clock on Wednesday morning the
Premises of Mr. Butcher, grocer, Bank-plain, were discovered
to be on fire by the night watch, who gave the alarm and called
h fr. 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, but going
!ip to the top of his premises he perceived where it was ; when
site came down and opened the door of his store-room over the
back part of his shop, the fire and smoke burst forth so violently
that he could scarcely stand on his feet. It appears that the
fire had originated is this store-room directly over a paper loft,
but how, it is impossible to tell. Mr. Shalders, from over the
may, immediately brought two of his engines, by means of
Which Mr. Butcher attributes his house being saved ; and per-
haps the whole street, for there being a good deal of gun-
Powder en the premises, had this ignited the consequences
Would have been awful. Notwithstanding the natural agita-
tion occasioned by the near prospect of danger from fire, 111 r.
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. The engine from the Guildhall was on the spot
'within a few minutes of the first alarm being given, but it
vas impossible to bring this into play for some time, as
the water was not turned on ; but in the meanwhile
Mr. Shalders' engines (Mr. S. working one and his brother
the other) were supplied with buckets full of water from
the pump near at hand. Mr. M. Yarington and his men acted
'with much energy and promptitude. Mr. Steel, Mr. Plummer,
Shalders, and others of Mr. Butcher's neighbours, were
racist zealous in their services. In about an hour and a half all
danger was removed. Mr. Butcher is, we understand, insured
lb the Norwich Equitable Office.
[The delay which appears to have occurred in furnishing the
tt.egines with water on the above alarming occasion, impera-
tively demands the immediate attention of the proper authori-
ties. If the New Niills Company's works are the main public
!source of supply, some arrangements should be made for the
More sure and speedy turning on the water into the pipes ; or
the city will sooner or later rue the consequences.

tY THE EDITOR OF THE " NORWICH MERCURY."
On Wednesday morning, about half-past one o'clock, a fire
*as discovered in the house of Mr. Butcher, grocer, Rank-
Plain, by the watchman on duty. Mr. B. immediately rose,
And after examining hi- premises found it had taken place in a
store-room situated over the warehouse. On the alarm being
given, Mr. Shalders attended with his patent fountain engines,
and after great exertions the fire was extinguished before any
Serious consequences had taken place. There is not the
slightest doubt that this fire would have been attended with a
treat loss had it not been for the fountain pump, and it was
entirely by that and the exertions of Mr. Shalders that the fire
wa% so promptly extinguished. 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 wa4 in flames, for on
Alt. Butcher opening the door he was twice knocked d wn by
the smoke and fla,-,.0a. but furtuna,ely received no injury.
