Whgre may be obtained the only COOKING GRATE in
the kingdom that has stood public test, the manufacturers
of which have sold and fixed over 500 since the opening of
the Dublin Exhibition, and are prepared to prove that not
one has failed, and that they can cook more food with one
fire t'usn any other maker can with five. The following are
a few of the testimonials they are daily receiving. Others
may be seen on application to the Inventors and only Manu-
facturers, Messrs. HARRISON and CO., as above.

FROM SIR JOHN BENSON, ARCHITECT OF THE DUBLIN

EXHIBITION.
MESSRS. HARRISON, RADCLYFFE AND CO.
Gentlemen.—With this I send a bank letter of crelit for
Kitchener. I am l appy to state that the Range Ivis proved
most satisfactory—works remarkably well, and the consump-
'ion of fuel is not half what the old range we had consumed.

•I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant,
Monte-moth, Cork, Mardi 17, 1854.

J. BENSON.

FROM SIR WILLIAM BETHAM.
Dublin, Rookford-house, Blackrock, Oct. 17, 1853.
MESSRS. HARRISON AND CO.
I have had three months' experience of your Kitchener,
and find it, in every respect, answers all you promised. It
is very economical in coal, clean, and cooks admirably ; it
saves greatly in labour, antj roasts without giving any taste
but what ought to be in the meat. t am perfectly satisfiegi
as are my servants. It is decidedly the best arranged a
most perfect I have seen. I have had a Kitchener in opera-
tion for twenty years en a similar principle, which is still
very good, and does the work remarkably well ; but yours
has improvements which greatly enhance its value. I have
satisfaction in bearing testimony to the value of your
Kitchener, which, among other perfections, stands in a
very smadspace.—Your obedient servant, W. BOMAN!.
Dublin, March 7.
TO MESSRS. HARRISON, RADCLYFFE' AND BLUNT.
Gentlemen,—When I bought my Patent Kitchener of you
at the Industrial Exhibition of Ireland, in July last, I
promised at the end of six months to report, if called on,
respecting its qualities. It has been in operation now eight
months, and I must say, it is in every way a most useful and '
excellent Cooking Grate. I have recommended it to many
of my friends, several of whom have adopted it, and I will
continue to do so, being perfectly satisfied that it is a great
improvement in the kitchen department. J. AVMANN,

Flurry-bridge. Oct. 20,-1853.
MESSRS. HARRISON, RADCLYFFE, AND BLUNT.
Sirs,—l beg to enclose a check for amount of your account
for Kitch,n Range. It is quite the thins you described it; it
fully answers the purpose. Both Mrs. Thompson and
myself are greatly pleased. It is the most complete,
economical, satisfactory apparatus for cooking I ever saw.
and very reasonable in price. I can safely reccommend it to
any one who desires an economical, cleanly range. For
small or large families it is equally convenient: a dinner for
two or a dinner for thirty can be cooked with little trouble
and great cleanliness.—l am, &c., H. THOM PSON.
I forgot to mention that it roasts joints most perfectly; the
meat is better flavoured, better done than in the common
Way, and this was the point I was afraid of before I tried it;
but now there is no doubt of the matter—superior in every
respect.

Flurry-park, Rahenny, near Dublin, March 15, 1854.
MESSRS.HARRI,ON, RADCLYFFE, ANDBLUNT. LEAMINGTON.
Sirs.—ln referring to your letter of the 14th instant, I have
much pleasure in certifying to you that the Patent Kitchener
(as shown at the Dublin Exhibition) which was sold to me by
your representative, has given me much satisfaction. It has
been in use now for about six weeks, and, so far as I can
judge from such an experience, I find it efficient, economical,
and simple in its management. 1 think it right to add that
the workmen whom you provided for the fixing of it were
expeditious and well-conducted.—l am, sirs, your obedient
servant, M. BUSH E.
5, Grantham-street, Dublin, March 11, 1854.
TO MESSRS. HARRISON AND CO.

In answer to your request to know as to the Kitchener
I bought of you at the Dublin Exhibition, I would simply
state that it answers remarkably well, as there is nothing
connected with cooking but what it performs with great
cleanliness and precision.—Yours, &c., CHAS. SLATER.

A MEETING of the proprietors of the City of Dublin
Steam-packet Company was held on Monday, at their
offices, Eden-quay, when a dividend of two per cent. for
the half-year, free of income-tax, was declared.
SCARCITY OP LABOURERS. The Waterford News
says :—" Mr. Dargan has advertised for 260 men for the
works at the Kilkenny side of the river. As yet he has
not been able to procure anything like the requisite
number."
DIVORCE.—The case of " Talbot v. Talbot," which has
occupied the Dublin Consistorial Court for the last week
or two, was brought to a close on Tuesday. The Attorney-
General had opened the case, in which the promovent
Mr. Talbot, of Mount Talbot, in the county of Roscommon,'
sued for a divorce from his wife, on the grounds that she
had maintained a criminal intercourse with his groom or
coachman, extending over a period of more than a year.
The Solicitor-General, Mr. Keogh, stated the case for the
respondent, Mrs. Talbot. Dr. Radcliffe, in pronouncing
judgment, in an elaborate review of the evidence and the
circumstances of the case, concluded by saying that the
guilt of this unhappy lady had been conclusively esta-
blished, and that nothing further remained for him to do
but to sign the sentence for a divorce.
Tux RIGIIT HON. SIR JOHN PAKINGT6N, after receiv-
ing a memorial signed by 125 magistrates of Worcester-
shire, requesting him to resume the chairmanship of the
Worcestershire quarter sessions, has acceded to the request.
NEW RAILWAY BILL.—The New Railway and Canal
Traffic Regulation Bill, introduced by Mr. Cardwell and
the Solicitor-general, has been printed. It imposes the
duty on railway companies to make arrangements for re-
ceiving and forwarding traffic, without unreasonable delay,
and without partiality. Parties complaining that reason-
able facilities for forwarding traffic, &c., are withheld, may
apply, by petition, to the superior courts. The judges may
make such regulations as may be necessary for proceeding
under the act.

LIMITED LIABILITY.—A report by the committee has
been made, the substance of which is, that, having exa-
mined commercial men of the highest authority, the
evidence on both sides is so nearly balanced, that is, for
and against limited liability in ordinary partnerships, that
they, the committee, do not at present think it proper to
recommend an alteration in the law. If they did, they
deem it advisable to have a board (another job) to consider
the cases of application in which it should be permitted.
However, there are many great enterprises they report
which could not be carried out without a limited liability.
THE AUSTRALASIAN PACIFIC MAIL STEAM PACKET
COMPANY.-At an extraordinary general meeting of share-
holders, held on Tuesday, at the London Tavern, the
chairman (Mr. Hibberd) stated that nothing had occurred
to alter the determination come to at the last meeting to
dissolve the company. Considerable progress had been
made towards the sale of their ships to the French com-
pany, and he believed that in June next they should be in
a condition to return to the shareholders £5 per share as
a beginning. A resolution dissolving the company was
then carried unanimously, after which the meeting ad-
journed.

WASHINGTON'S WIPE.—A guest at Mount Vernon hap-
pened to sleep in a room next to that occupied by the
president and his jady. Late in the evening, when the
people had retired to their various chambers, he heard the
lady deliver a very animated lecture to her lord and master
upon something Which he had done that she thought
ought to have been done differently. To all this he
listened in the profoundest silence ; and when she too was
silent, he opened his lips .and spoke, "Now, good sleep to
you, my dear." Portraits, and descriptions of her, show
her to have been a pretty ,agreeable, kind, little woman,
from whom it really could :nct` have been so disagreeable
to have a curtain lecture.
