GUNPOWDER MANUFACTORY IN SCOTLAND TO LET. T O be LET, for such a number of years as may be agreed on, possession immediately, the AIARFIELD GUNPOWDER MANUFACTORY, duly licensed, in terms of the Act of Parliament. The ground npea, which this Manufactory is erected consists of about Nineteen acres, is commodiously situated on the River North Esk, only twelve miles from Edinburgh, and four from the market town of•Pennycuick. The buildings are 'erected on the mo s t a p prove d p l an, an d may b e considera- Hy extended. The machinery goes by water, which renders this work much safer than similar works in Eng land where the machinery is propelled by steam. The manufacture of gunpowder is known to be very lucrative, and there are only two ether works of the kind in Scot land, a country abounding in Quarries, which consume a great dfal of that article; to supply which, there is a re lular importation of Gunpowder from England, to the ex tent of many thousand pounds sterling annually. And it mow being time of peace, there is free exportation of the commodity to all quarters of the globe. 'Workmen's •wages are also much lower in Scotland than in England. - There is abundance of coal and lime in the vicinity, and freestone on the premises : also a dwelling-house for the manager, as well as houses for the workmen. Prom the extent of the ground, there is besides room sufficient for a 131cachfield, For particulars apply to Andrew Clason, Writer to the Signet, 57, Queen-street, Edinburgh. AMBETH DION BRIDGE OF SUS ALA PENSION, proposed to be erected ACROSS the THAMES, from the Horseferry-road, Westminster, to , the Ptlace at Lambeth ; designed by Captain Samuel &own, R.N. From the great increase of the population on both sides of the River, in the line of the proposed Bridge, and the important improvements already completed, and others - which are in progress, it is admitted. that the erection of a Bridge in this situation would not only prove an essential adkontage to the whole of these populous districts, but a gltat convenience to the public at large. The utility of the proposed undertaking has been ren dared still more apparent from the ample discussion which took place at a Vestry Meeting held at Lambeth, on Fri day, the 25th instant, which was attended by many of the principal and most int e lli gen t gen tl emen , i n h a bi tan t s o f t h e parish, for the purpose of ascertaining the sense of the in habitants, respecting the proposed Bridge. Two plans scare submitted; one for building a Bridge of stone piers, and cast iron arches, similar to the Vauxhall Bridge—the .other fur the above-mentioned BRIDGE of SUSPEN SION ; when the following Resolution was unanimously adopted : " Resolved—That in the opinion of the Vestry, the erection of the intended Bridge across the Thames, from the Palace at Lambeth to the Horseferry at Westminster, will be highly beneficial to this parish." Whatever may have been the extent of the improve ments, or the advantage which the public has derived from the Bridges of ARCHES, which have been erected in the Metropolis of late years, it is well known, that while they have served to perpetuate the memory of the architect, and added to our national grandeur, they have, in every instance, from their enormous cost, involved the individuals by whose means they have been raised in loss and disap pointinent. The Vauxhall Bridge, notwithstanding some extraneous exPenees, which were incurred in the early stage of the proceedings, i s st ill t h e c h eapest o f the mo d ern Bridges. It may therefore be properly mentioned, as a criterion for forming a judgment of the comparative advantages of a of Arches, and one on the principle of Suspnsion. Bridge The Vauxhall Bridge was begun in the year 1809, a e nd was finished in 1 816, and cost, including the Roads and Ap proaches, 263 ,000/. The proposed Bridge of Arches at theß ;00 Horseferry,.._ where th e Ri ver i s d eeper an d w id er, from 1 Bank, i s estimated, with the Approaches, at 200/. The entire expenc e of erecting and completing the pro r d Bridge of Suspension, posed all purchases of property, and co _ including the Approaches and co mpensations, plans, sur veys, and engineer's expences,, will be warranted not to exceed 60,0001. ; and time of executing the work, and opening it to the public, would not be more than e ight een months fro m it s commencement . The Bridge of Suspension is therefore proposed in pre ference t o a B r id ge of Arc h es, for the f o ll owing reasons: an improve- Fir st—Because it would occasion as great ment to the districts generally, and to all the . property in the more i mmediate vicinity of the Bridge ; it would afford, in all respects, as great a convenience to the public; and it would facilitate and promote the intercourse between the inhabitants on both sides, as much as the other. than half lesst l Secondly—Th at it would be built for considerable than half the expellee, and a gr eat deal less time; the e mo l uments of the Proprietors would be more than doubl e; while they would receive a much more s p eedy return for their capital; and Lutly—As an object of magnificence, i t would I I stand in ferior to none. The Plans of this Bridge, and of the adjacent streets on both sides, together with an improved line of road recently surveyed, have been deposited with the Clerk of the Peace ; a nd all other necessary steps have been taken, that an ap plication may be made to Parliament for leave to bring in a Big in the present session, for the erection of the Bridge, and for continuing the road to Pimlico, should it be ulti mately deemed expedient Subscriptions for raisin g the capital before-mentioned, in 1,200 Shares of 60/. share i s t o b e paid each, on w hi c h a d eposit of 21. 101. per , w ill ived th Baking Houses of Sir Scrope B.

The novelty of fact exhibited will command wonder, —only to be explained by the circumstances which haVe given the author access to public as well as private archives hitherto a fountain shot up,' and a book sealed.' The chaste and nervous elegance of the style, and the liberal and truly philosophical cast of thought and sentiment, are what no one need be surprised with, who has read some of his previous writings; but this performance is every way a more elaborate one than any of those, and of higher pre tensions,—pretensions which we have no doubt the worl,l will pronounce to be justified in the result. fo throw an air of total novelty on a theme of ancient interest,—to write a history, where previously there had been only memoire:: pour servir,'—such has been itAmerican countryman's proud attempt ; and with un gled pleasure do we con template the fruit of his long and arduous labours."—Lite rary Gazette, Feb. 2.

Printed for John Murray, Albemarle-street. The Rev. HENRY GRAYSTER, Rector of Fleetham; and one of the burgesses of the borough, rose and proposed Sir Robert Harry Inglis, Bart. as a fit and proper person to represent _that borough in Parliament. After expressing his regret - that thi borough had been deprived of the services ,of the late excellent representative, Sir Lancelot §hadwell—a regret, however, which was diminished by the cause which had led to his elevation to one of the highest judicial stations in the kingdom, and expressing his hopes that he would be placed still higher on the ladder of fame—the Rev. Gentleman adverted to the immediate business of the day, which was to supply the vacancy thus occasioned. He should propose to them Sir Robert Harry Inglis, who, though personally unknown to most ; probably to all of them, was a man in every respect deserving of their confidence. He was not only a gentleman of independent fortune and of sound constitutional prin ciples, but came recommended to them from a quarter which could not fail to predispose them ill his favour, and he had no doubt that he would fully come up to their wishes in his parliamentary con duct. His prinCiples and views were also in strict accordance with those which had always been held by the burgesses of that borough, which had always been distinguished for its loyalty; and he was con vinced that in the hands of such a guardian their rights and privileges would neither be endangered nor impaired.

Mr:Alderman TERRY—I second the nomination of Sir Robert Harry Inglis, as a fit and proper per son to represent this borough in Parliament, and I hope that it will meet with your unanimous and cordial approbation. A show of hands was called for, when some twenty hands were held up. Proclamation was tben made for any person who could show any cause why Sir Robert Harry Inglis should not be declared duly elected, or who wished to demand a poll, to COW( forward.

AN EARLY PUFFER.--Sir WALTER RA- Ltron was one of the earliest as well as one of the most eminent puffers of the English school. Serjeant KITE, though a portly gentleman and six feet high to boot, and therefore, as he said, born to be a great man, was no thing to him. Even the renowned CACIQUE of Poyais, famous as a pretty hand at outlandish description, sinks in comparison with the adventurer of El Dorado, as the reader shall immediately see: When Sir WALTER was beating up for recruits for his second expedition to South America, he thus unfolds his golden enticements :—" The common soldier shall here fight for gold, and pay him self, instead of pence, with plates of half a foot broad, whereas he breaks his bones in other wars for provant and penury. Those commanders and chieftains that shoot at honour and abundance, shall find here more rich and beautiful cities, more temples adorned with gol den images, more sepulchres filled with treasure, than either CORTE.% found in Mexico or PIZARRO in Peru."—The gudgeons as usual snapped at the golden bait, and this earliest of South Atuerican schemes succeeded no better than those which have followed in later days.— RALEIGH, however, though an adventnrer and a puffer, was really a man of courage and ability. After his con demnation, he gave Gon thanks that "he had never fear ed death, and much less then; for it was but an opinion and an imagination ; and the manner of death, though to others it might seem grievous, yet he had rather die so than of a burning fever."—We cannot mention RALEIGH, however, without calling to mind his noble conduct at his execution. When on the scaffold, he asked for the axe, and, feeling 'the edge, observed with a smile that it was a sharp medicine, but a physician for all diseases. He then laid his head on the block and gave the signal; but the slowness of the executioner provoked him to exclaim, " Why dose thou not strike? Strike, man !" At the se cond blow his head was severed from his body.—Edin burgh Evening Courant. •
