JOHN CASSELL I7HNDS it necesssry to caution the Consumers of his justly-famed COFFF.K against purchasing imitations of his Package' The fact that his Establishment is the largest in the kingdom, and his Cofleemost extensively consumed, has led numerous parties to attempt making up very inferior articles in the same style ot package and some, to induce Tradesmen to substitute their spurious article tor that of JOHN CASSELL, offer a larger amount of profit. This has a tendency to prejudice the public, an ■ lieaee the necessity of thus informing them that no Coffee can be the veritable John Casseli's Cuftee unless his signature is upou each package. Go therefore to the Agent for JOHN CAS-SE, LL's COFFEE, ask for John Cassell's Coffee, and see that it is John Cassell's Coffee which is handed to you, having Ins signature upon the package. Thiiis necessary, for there are numerous imit- tiotis stringent and bitter to the palate, while John Cassell's Coffee is rich and strong, at the same time that it is mellow and delicious' pleastog to the palate, and invigorating to tho system.

MR. CORNELIUS EVANS, Has been honoured with instructions to SELL BY PRIVATE CONTRACT, A ERY desirable PROPERTY, situated in the best part of Henllis Parish, commanding extensive and picturesque views, and on the improvement of which the proprietor has spared neither time nor expense, thus bringing it into a high state of cultivation. The Estate may be treated for in its totality, or in the follow- ing Lots, viz. Lot I-An excellent House, fit for the immediate reception of a respectable family, called The Cwm," with farm buildings, substantially built, and nearly new; every portion of the wood used in the ertrcthw-being h"c,u:t of oak, and the other materials of the best quality; with sixty-six acres offine arable and pasture land attached, well drained, fenced, and with an easy access to the barn and outbuildings. Lot -A comfortable House and Cottage, called Harris and Ty-yn-y-Berllan," or the "House in the Orchard," with thirty-three acres of meadow and arable land, barns and other out-oftices conveniently situated, This compact farm possesses many attractions from situation, and other peculiarities.

Lot 4-A substantial House, cottage, barn buildings, cattle sheds, &c., well built and in complete repair, called Pant- youl together with eighteen acres of excellent meadow and arable land situated near Mr. Hanson's colliery, and offering very desirable and healthy sites for workmen's cottages. The proprietor, who has lived fur a long period on tho pro. perty, has, regardless of expense, omittd nothing calculated to improve the estate, whether as regards draining, proper fencing, manuring after the most improved svstem, the erection of commodious out-offices, beast houses, &e.; or the facility of communication between the high roads and the farms. The lands are well watered by two brooks, which skirt the main parts of the estate. Lime and coal are abundant in the immediate vicinity, and it ha becn observed that the corn is in car earlier on these lands than in other quarters—the aspect being sunny and peculiarly favourable. Quality and advantageous position could not in this instance be too strongly dwelt on.

Satisfactory reasons may be at once ascertained, for the pro- prietor's resolution to sell. Apply to Mr. EVANS, at his Offices, Great Dock Street, Newport.

A capitalist in search of a safe and surely-productive invest- ment, might travel tnr ny counties ore he could fix on a property in every respect so desirable, whether as affording a delightful locality for residence, richly varied scenery, or numerous seats of gentry, known and respected for their traits of hospitality and neighbourly feeling, lying at easy distances, and the com- mercial capital of the county being within an hour's drive.

MINING SCHOOLS.
MINING SCHOOLS. In our last number, we alluded to a memorial in course of signature in this district, urging upon the KovtJrnmcnt of thia country, the establishment of Mining Schools. We find this but a part of a general movement throughout the mining district g of ine kingdom, for the like object. From the noith of England, of ine kingdom, for the like object. From the noith of England, Derbyshire, Lancashire, Staffordshire, &c., memorials of the same character have been presented, or are in progress. Few men can now be found bold, or rather ignoiant, enough to deny same character have been presented, or are in progress. Few men can now be found bold, or rather ignoiant, enough to deny the advantages to be acquired by the application of science to mining pursuits. The old received idea that most of our great discoveries have been made by accident, and without the application of labour and inductive science, is now happily controverted by conclu- been made by accident, and without the application of labour and inductive science, is now happily controverted by conclu- sive facts. It is the progress of education, and the mivauce of science we must look to and depend upon as the means by which we are to continue to hold our proud position as a people,amongst the nations of the world. A paper read the last week at the meeting of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, by Mr. W. Smith, on the condensation of steam in the engines employed in tho South Staffordshire iron districts—led us to reflect upon the importance, ID a national point of view, ot apparently trilling savings. Alr. Smith stales that "The aggregate power of 45 of the largest class mill and forge and blast engines in South Siafford- shire, is nominally 3240 horse power, according to Eoulton and Watts* proportions of the cylinders but, by the calculation of indicator d Iagiamf, the total is 7819 horse-power. The average vacuum obtained iu the present working ot all these ei)gines, is about ûlbs. per inch below the atmosphere throughont the stroke, and the average vacuum obtained in six expansive engines is 10J ibs.per inch below the atmosphere throughout the stroke. The loss of power from the imperfect vacuum in the former engines may, therefore, be taken at the ditfeience between these piessures, of 4. lbs.per in.,whictl amounts to 1930 indicated horse-power upon these 4.* engines or, in other words, 2.5 per cent. increased power may bo obtained from the same expenditure of steam, and consequently of fuel, if the vacuum were improved, so as to be as good as the average of the six expansive engines. The annual loss in money by extra consumption of fuel by these 45 engines, calculating 20 lbs. of slack per hour for one horse-power, at a cost ot ;ls- per ton, will amount to £ IS,()10, or fi'Z 7s. 7d. per horse-power, per annum. The total power of the steam engines employed in the manufacture of iron in this dis- trict, might be computed to be ten times the nominal power above named and the total annual loss to the proprietors from the causes described, may be taken in round numbers, at 1:180,000 per annum. "It lias been generally considered that the improvement of expansive action of bleam was not applicable advantageously to the engines of this district, because of the small cost of the Iud employed but the facts stated show how erroneous this notion is. In addition to the saving in cost of fuel, an important saving would be effected in the tear and wear of tho boilers, which is fully in proportion to the extra fuel burnt under tlieni, and the repairing uf which is invariably attended with serious inconve- nience and expense." The steun power employed in this district exceeds that in Staffordshire. We are curious to know what amount of steam power is expended in this district, in working our collieries, and raising our seven OlllllOns of tons ot coal annually. We hear that the application of the improvement of working steam ex- pansively, is very simple in its character; but that with the exception of a few engines, built lately at the Uskside Iron Works in this town, it is rarely, if at all, used in the colliery engines of this district. This is but one trifling instance of the loss to our national wealth produced by unskilful working of mines. We wish it to be distinctl^understond, that we do not blame the coal masters individually on the contrary, we are confirmed by higii authority in stating, that Renerally our collieiies in this district are worked ns skilfully and elliciently as any in the kingdom. N% e merely this instance to show that we are not yet beyond the reach ot improvement. The memorial will be KivelJ in our noxt publication.

CONFESSIONS or A H ypocnoNDBiAt-.—Mr. liaise, the Medical Galvanist, of 22, Hrunswick Square, London, has for years contended that Galvanism would prevent an attack of paralysis if lesorted to immediately a patient was threatened with it. The talented author of the ",Confetsiciis of a hypochondriac" was, it would appear from pages 27 I and 272, on the eve of a paralysis, when he was recommended by a trierid to immediately go to Mr. Halse and get galvanised. He fortunately took his Iriond's advi(!e, Rnd was quickly under Mr. Hake's galvanic process. The effect was instant/menus. His words are- I hanks to the galvanic exquisite machine, I was so far restored that I became as clear a plodder as ever in a tijea." Mr. Halse is not aware who the author is of the above talented, most amusing, and instructive woik he, however, takes this opportunity of thanking him for the kind manner in which he has introduced his name. Gambling,—This vice has (been practised by the most civilized and enlightened people, as well as by the most barbarous and ignorant. The coronetted Isgislator of tho foremost nation in relinament has been known to sacrifice a princely intcome to this passion. No station is free Iroin its degrading influence. The brutal bull baiter, and the most profound thinker have alike met ruin in its voi tex. An instance of the letter occurred in the caRe of an author of European celebrity, who, in one of his works, said, The gilinegter, if he dies a martyr to his pursuit, is doubly ruined he adds his soul to every other loss, and by the act of suicide renounces earth to forfeit heaven!" The man who wrote that sentence was himself a gambler, and ultimately a suicide Such is the rCllult of this deinoraliring habit, commenced perhaps in a state of dissipated ennui, and continued through a vitiated state of mind, the whole of which might have been picvented, by the occasional uee of that mild aperient, Fiainytoli's Pill of Health. 4_ NKWJPOKT I^>ST TABLE.

THE DEBATES OF THE ADDRESS.
THE DEBATES OF THE ADDRESS. HER MAJESTY'S opposition" have been so signally de- feated in their first movement in the sessional cam- paign, that they cannot but be inwardly bewailing, if not execrating, the hard necessity that drove them to mako the attempt—that necessity being of their own creating; since it was unavoidable for them to do something to shew the sincerity of the hopes of retro- grade legislation, which they had so generally expressed and excited in their followers, during the recess. A ma- jority of 49 in the Upper House, (in the teeth of the Duke of Richmond's insulting declaration, that, when their lordships adopted free trade, not a dozen of them were conscientiously in favour of it,)—is "a great fact;" while the majority of 119 in the Commons is a sufficient answer ( to the numerous rumours of fear and doubt, and tendency I to retrogression in that quarter. Without dwelling, however, upon the exciting ques- tion which formed almost an exclusive topic of these dis- cussions, there arc certain facts stated in tho various speeches which men of all parties will do well to read and study. In there were 1,763 bankruptcies. In 184 i) there were only 1,116; but two-thirds of those in the previous year. This was the first year (or rather eleven months of it), of actual free trade in corn. Now wo do not pretend to ascribe all tho improvement to that measure; hut, in fairness, let not all the misfortunes which may have hap pencil in the same period be ascribed to that source. The same general remarks will apply to some other facts. Thc number of individuals committed for trial in England and Wales, in 1818, was 10,352 in 1St!) it was 9,512 a diminution of 810. In Ireland, notwithstanding the severe suffering which has been felt, the committals for the same period have fallen from. to 2,001, a diminution of no fewer than 1,115 or nearly one-third a fact highly creditable to the people of the Sister Isle. The number of individuals receiving relief under tho poor-law, in 538 unions in England, and 42 unions in Wales, on the 1st of July, 1848, was 892,655 and on the 1st of July, 1849, the number was 837,150 being a diminution, up to that day, of 55,505, or more than seven per cent. Another return shews the statistics for twelve months, up to six months later. The number receiving relief on the 1st of January, 1849, in 560 unions in England, and 42 in Wales, was 987,164, more relief being, when things arc equal required in the winter; and on the 1st of January, 1850, it was 923,167, a decrease of 63,997, or more than six per cent. It is important, however, in connection with the state both of agriculture and trade, to note the relative numbers of able-bodied poor, which indicate the want of employment. The num- ber of such relieved in 590 unions in England and Wales, on January 1, 1849, was 201,6-H; and on January 1, 1850, it was 170,502, being a lessening of 31,142, or more than fifteen per cent. Taking the total number oi pau- pers during the whole of 1848 and 1849, there twenty- eight English counties, which shew a diminution, and fourteen counties which shew an increase during the lat- ter year. Of the fourteen, showing an increase, three, Northumberland, Durham, and Staffordshire, are mineral and manufacturing, as well as agricultural. Of the twenty-eight which shew a decrease, the majority are agricultural. In Monmouthshire, the diminution is 1*2 per cent. In Wales, there was an increase in six coun- ties, and a decrease in six. Taking the able-bodied poor separately, the results are much more favourable. In only seven English counties had the total of those re- lieved increased, and two of those were Northumberland and Durham. Among the thirty-five which shew a de- crease, is Monmouthshire, with a diminution of no less than 29 per cent. The poor relief expenditure for the year ending Lady-day, 1848, was £6,180,76; but for year ending at Lady-day, 1849, it was £5,792.963; A diminution of £;)7,80, or more than six per cent. For the half-year ending Michaelmas, 1849, the accounts (not much to the credit, as seems to us, of the highly-paid auditors) are not yet all audited. The returns, however, from 558 unions, shew that in them the half-year's ex- penditure to Michaelmas, 1848, was £1,750,159; while that to Michachnas, 1819 was £1 ,65;},061, a falling oft. of or more than five per cent. These arc facts, and facts of a gratifying description; upon which columns of exulting comment might be written by him, who, from the beginning, lias conscientiously supported the principle of free trade in the food of our fellow-creature, a measuro, as fraught with sound policy, as with sacred justice; but the brief recapitulation will suffice for every candid man.
THE QUEEN DOWAGER'S SERVANTS.
THE QUEEN DOWAGER'S SERVANTS. WERE it not for the almost countless instances of waste and jobbing which have for ages disgraced the financial administration of public affairs in this country, such a rumour as that of an intention to apply for a portion of the public moneys in the shape of pensions to the late Queen Dowager's servants, might well bo passed unnoticed, aa unworthy of credit. Knowing, however, that there are parties who would not hesitato to make, and parties who would readily support, such an application, we pro- nounce it to be a gross and flagitious job. Their deceased mistress, it is said, has left them no legacies. Well, looking at her amiability and liberality of disposition, this is pretty strong proof that her Majesty considered they needed none. Rut whether they did or not, they have not the slightest claim upon the public exchequer; and to give them a single shilling would bo to rob the industrious people of this country by whom the taxes are paid. These servants lived in luxury, and had excellent wages. One account is, that they were urged to mako A provision for the future, but neglected it. Whether this be so or not, they had ample means for making such pro- vision, and it is their own fault if they did not make those means available. If they ehoso to spend all their income, and have nothing left, they must seek for situa- tions, like many good, or perhaps far better servants, out of place; &nd be thankful that their own folly has not en- tailed upon them any worse consequences than descend- iug from the service of a Queen to that of a peer.
