Lords of the Admiralty, Captain Brandreth — , R. E. ENGINEER—WiIIiam Bush, Esq. SECRETARY—John 'F. Tidd, Esq. The beneficial effects arising from the construction of Docks has been amply proved by those already made in the port of London, where the vessel is placed in perfect security, and the property of the merchant is amply protected. The application of steam to merchant vessels has established a new class of shipping requiring peculiar accommodation, such as cannot be obtained in the existing. Docks. The time appears therefore to have arrived, when the great commercial interests of this port and city should be provided with a Dock for the ocean going steam ships which frequent the Thames ; and besides this, the interests of humanity ask for the speedy institution of such measures as shall prevent the awfully numerous accidents to life and property incidental upon the navigation of large steamers in the crowded parts of the river between Deptford and London-bridge. One opinion only can exist as to the necessity and importance of a Steam Dock in the Pert of London ; and •it is matter of surprise, that the Metropolitin Port should not have preceded in a matter of such pre , sing necessity, the other great Ports of the Kingdom, Liverpool, Bristol, and Hull, in constructing Steam Docks. To accomplish the result, the present undertaking has been projected ; which, besides the great and valuable objects it has in view, offers the prospect of a fair dividend upon the outlay to proprietors. To satisfy the public of the secure footing upon which the undertaking is established, it is only necessary to state that. ar rangements have been made between the Company and the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, by which the Public Service will be greatly benefited in the establishment of this Dock, and whereby the Company will derive such advantages as must necessarily have the effect of securing its prosperity ; the particulars of which may be seen at the Office of the Com pany, by application to the Directors, or Secretary. The Commissioners appointed by their Lordships to examine and report upon the undertaking, were Capt. Shirreff, R N., Captain Superintendent of her Majesty's Dock and Victualling Yards at Deptford ; Capt. Beaufort, R.N., Hydrographer to the Board ; and Capt. Brandreth, R.E., Civil Engineer to the Admiralty. According to these arrangements' the works are to be pro ceeded with, and finished with all possible dispatch, agreeably to Plans adopted by, and deposited with, the Board, who have appointed Captain Brandreth, R.E., to inspect the Works during their progress ; and the line of froutage of the proposed Dock is to be subject to the approval of Captain Beaufort, R.N., Hydrographer to the Admiralty. Upon a careful examination of the different sites on either side of the river Thames, suited to the purpose of a dock of this description, there is not one which offers such excellent qualifi cations as that situate between her Majesty's Dock-yard and Deptford Creek. These advantages are,—the depth of water to be obtained close in shore,•—the proximity of the various railways, south of the Thames, for the conveyance of goods and passengers,—and the low value of the property necessary to be taken. These advantages will also be increased by the depth of water at the Lock Entrance and Frontage of the proposed Dock. The Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty having permitted to be adopted an arc founded on a radius of 4,500 feet, commencing at the Royal Dock-yard, and terminat ing at the Greenwich Pier, thus giving an extension of wharfage into the River, which will tend greatly to improve the navigation of that part of the Thames. Amongst the advantages to be derived by the Steam Ship Owner, may be enumerated the saving of wear and tear of en gines —of fuel—of freedom from risk of collision, and conse quent expensive results—safety of the vessel—facility for in spection after long voyages—convenience for fit'ing and refitting —an abundant supply of filtered water always at command— together with a depot of coals within the Dock. A careful and detailed estimate has been made, and the same is to be approved by the Engineer of the Admiralty before the works are commenced. It will not be unimportant to know that the Dock will con tain quay-room for vessels to lay alongside, of about 7,476 feet, and capacity of water-room equal to the accommodation of 100 steamers, besides craft at one and the same time, with ample space for loading and unloading, and landing and embarking passengers. The affairs of the Company will be conducted by a Board of Directors, consisting of not less than eight, nor mere than eigh teen, under a Deed of Settlement, to be approved of by the Counsel of the Company on behalf of all parties, and by an Act of Parliament, so soon as the same can be obtained, to contain all such clauses and conditions as may. by such Counsel be deemed necessary and available for the government of the Company, and the limitation of the Subscribors' responsibility. Application to subscribe for Stock, may be made to the Se cretary, post paid. A deposit of 10 per cent. to be paid upon subscribing, and no further call will be required for six months. Interest at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum will be allowed upon a limited number of subscr ptions for lOW. Stock paid in full at the time of subscribing—to be received half-yearly until the Dock is completed, when the profits will be divided amongst the Proprietors. January, 1841.

REMOVED from 63, Upper Thames-street, to 54, WATLING-STREET, near Queen -street, Cheapside. J. R. WILKINSON particularly recommends his Paint to the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, who wish to paint their houses of Roman cement, stucco, or brick walls, as a preven tive to damp or sea spra . , in exposed situations ; it will not blister or peel off as common paint. On tiling, to represent slating, iron hurdles roofs, conservatories, hot-houses, fences, farm, or any out-buildings, it will last four times as long as lommon paint. It is so simple in its use, that any labourer can lay it on. To ship-owners for their decks, bottoms of yes sels, &c., it will he shown, as well as to the public, to be supe - rior to any paint in use, by testimonials of its lasting fourteen years on wood and houses, twenty years on iron (see the Soutlf wark-bridge). The public are particularly guarded in giving their orders for Wilkinson's Anti-Corrosion Paint, that no other colour may be imposed upon them for his.

Mr. Stanton, it will be remembered, was kidnapped by a party of Chinese while bathing near Macao, and carried up to Canton. His examination by the Chinese authorities, at the head of whom was the redoubted Corn . nussioner Lin, will be read with some interest. The account is taken from the Bombay Courier : Mr. Stanton arrived early on Friday, the 7th, and was delivered into the custody of the Namhoy-yune, and though one would think the capture of a solitary foreigner, unaccused of any crime except that of hie birth, to be an event of very slight importance, great preparations were immediately made for his examination in the public hall of the Viceroy's palace. The prelimi naries for this mighty business were concluded at about one o!elock, and at two the Kwang-chow-feo, the Pwan yune, Namhoy-yune, and four other officers of high rank made their appearance, taking their seats, the Kwang chow-foo in the centre, in a row, on chairs adorned with scarlet cloth, and the tables usual on such occasions be fore them. Behind the chairs of these functionaries was a partition which screene d hi s E xce ll ency Vi ceroy Lin from the looks of the profane. All the Hong mer chants and linguists were in attendance, standing during the whole of the examination, which lasted from two o'clock in the afternoon until past nine at night. A number of lower officers, police runners, lictors, ece.. were also present, whe n M r . S tanton, un d er the charge of two linguists, was brought into court with chains on his bare feet, and dressed only in a shirt and trowscrs, the former somewhat discoloured by the blood from a wound in his shoulder, which though not deep ap peared as if inflicted by some sharp i nstrument ; hi s head and face were also bruised on one side. In spite of his evident exhaustion, be being very pale, Mr. Stanton was made to kneel before this august assembly, which bysitting i n o t n h e the course r of A thelit little e examination, givenh e changed him before the examination began, which was conducted by the Kevang- chow -foo, the linguist Atom acting as inter preter. The first questions put to the prisoner were," Who are you ?" " What is yo ur n ame ? Wh a t yeur nation? To which the reply was, that his name was Stanton, that he resided in Macao, and that he ; was an Englishman. " How can you be an Englishman," replied (he Kwang-chow-foo," when it is well known that all the English have lo ng s i nce been ordered away from Macao, and that we have the assurances from our officers there that they are all gone ?" To which Mr. Stanton answered that so far from his countrymen having all left Macao, there were upwards of a hun drednt.doioenouanlrwt ,noa l d i fs v a i ws n st g ei otenht seen e tth r hom e n . we nnh I sx t i ' pn h te i t s rhi a enfi n jr s uts w hdt ge e answer se emed 3: andhemi sa e rtl d ilhg t eh o otlif create vvisw iadht etige -h a nc eh g pi o o gr o wh.o. d . then on the left, and these again comma duce(' a good deal ofgrave nodding, of shakes of the head, and so on, and the Kwang-chow-foo got up to com mune with his master behind the screen, whence he returned after a short absence. These low whis pers among the judges, and the conferences be tween the Viceroy and Kwaug-chow-foo, were rather frequent, and happened whenever anything appearing to them extraordinary was said by the prisoner. Owing, it is supposed, to the presence near the tsung-tuck of several Chinese who well under stood English, the interpreter was observed to discharge his duty with considerable fidelity, which is a rare occurrence, Chinese interpreters generally preferring to give the story they wish the mandarins to reeeive to giving the real meaning of the deponent. It is on this account chiefly that the mandarins heard several things, which must have astonished them not a little. The Kwang chow-foo then asked Mr. Stanton whether Lc was not aware of the existence of the Proclamations offering rewards for the taking and killing of English men ; which being answered in the affirmative, he was asked why, such being the case, he had been walking about, well knowing he subjected himself to being made a prisoner. To which Mr. Stanton replied that he was walking peaceably towards the beach to bathe, when he was suprised by Chinese, who hurried him into a boat, two of which were at Casilla Bay apparently waiting for him ; but, said Mr. Stanton, though now a prisoner, I ad vise you to liberate me without delay, for I am certain that within three days my countrymen will demand me, and if refused, their ships of war will open their fire upon you. This bold speech occasioned a good deal of surprise, which having subsided, the examination was continued. The prisoner was asked what his business was, and where he lived, to which he replied, he was a teacher, who had come to this country withl/r. Tur ner's sons as their tutor ; that he was in no way con nected with trade, and was then living in Mr. Turner's house. To this it was objected that Mr. Turner was dead, and inquiry made of the present abode of Mrs. Turner, and her sons, the Kwang-chow-foo was told, had re turned to England. He was next asked, how many ships of war had arrived on the coast of China, and how many troops, to which the prisoner answered that about 45 ships had gone to the northward, that five re mainedin Macao ; that there wercs,ooo troops on board, and that an equal number was expected to arrive soon. It was then asked why the English had sent an arma ment to fight the Chinese, to which answer was made that the English had not come to fight the Chinese, but to obtain redress for injuries suffered. It was objected, if they had not come to fight, why they had fired on the forts at Amoy, and why they had taken Chusan. Answer, that at Amoy it was the Chinese who first fired on a boat bearing a flag of truce, and that in consequence of that the English ships destroyed the forts ; that Chusan was taken because the letter which the English wished to have sent to the Emperor of China had been refused ; that the object of the English was to complain of the treatment they had received to the Emperor himself, but that their letter had been every-• where refused ; had it been received and forwarded no hostilities would have ensued ; that the English had only occupied Chusan until a satisfactory answer shall, have been received from the Emperor, when they will . return the island to his government. The Kwang-chow foo also asked, why, if the intentions of the English. were pacific, they had captured so many salt junkse To which it was replied, that the salt junks, beingi considered Government property, had been seized ana would be detained until restitution shall have been made for the property of which the English have been despoiled by the Chinese. These are the principal points in the examination to fill up the seven hours a great many more things were said, which it is unnecessary to repeat. Mr. Stanton now remains in custody of the Nam hoy-yune, but is not shut up, we arc told, in the com mon prison, but in a room in the Namhoy-yune's house. in which generally such prisoners only are confined as can afford to pay handsomely for this indulgence. In the same prison with Mr. Stanton is a Lascar, who, by his own account, was also seized in the neighbour hood of Macao ; we know not who this man may be, not having heard of any missing ; his seizure, however, ha's drawn a poor Chinaman into great trouble, who, when he saw his countrymen approach the Lascar, warned him of his danger, exhorting him to run away. This warning was overheard by the minion of the law, and he was seized, and may possibly lose his life for treasonable practices. Three young men, who gave the names of Grant, Wayler, and Lambourn, were taken before Sir Henry Fletcher, a Magistrate for the County of Surrey, at the Town Hall, Kingston, on Wednesday, upon a charge of being common utterers of counterfeit corn, and with having defrauded a number of tradesman at Kingston and the neighbourhood. Miss Harris, a shopkeeper at King ston, deposed that the prisoner Wayler came to her shop and asked her to give him change for a shilling, and she gave him a sixpence, a four-penuy-piece, and two-pence, and he handed her a shilling which she placed in the till. In a short time lie again came to the shop, and asked for a pennyworth of cotton, and he threw down a, shilling upon the dark part of the counter, and she picked it up - and found that it was counterfeit. She told him so, and he immedi ately snatched it from her, and ran out of the shop. She then looked in the till, and found that the former shilling she had taken was counterfeit, and she immediately marked it, and handed it over to the police. Another shopkeeper at Kings tan, named Wentworth, sp ok e to a similar proce e di ng on the part of Lambourn. This prisoner also succeeded in passing one counter feit shilling , an d made a second attempt, e o wh s e h rl op-k the fraud was di scovered. Mr. Hull bert, a ok eeper, proved that the prisoner Grant came to his shop and purchased some ox-cheek, and paid him with a counterfeit shilling, and he gave him the change. About half an hour afterwards he re turned to the shop, and asked for the same quantity of ox cheek, and he tendered him a shilling, which he dis covered to be a b ad one, a nd told the prisoner so ; and ho replied that hed knelew i th t was a good o ne , a nd took it from him shop. Inf orma ti on ive3 to the poli ce of what had taken instituted an inqu iry, upen searchi ng t h em they found a and took th e pr i soners anft e haying pinlatoc e ct custody, se b tyo e de and great quantity of goo d silver and copper coin. The pri soners, who said they g ot their living by hawking memo randum-books and lucifer-boxes about the country, were remanded, in order to give the police an opportunity to make the necessary inquiries, and to communicate with the Solicitor to the Mint. There is no doubt that the pri soners have laid the whole of the neighbourhood of King ston and Richmond wider contribution, and that several fresh cases will be brought forward against them. A Silesian Chronicle states that the winter of 1740 was so severe in that part of Europe, that whilst the stove in one part of a room was red hot, water placed near the window was frozen, and water thrown from a third floor became ice before it reached the ground 1 It was impossible, says the chronicler, to walk a hundred yards in the open air against the wind without the face being frozen. In Bohemia and Moravia all the ponds were frozen to the bottom, and the fish died ; domestic animals were frozen to death in their stables, as were the birds in the woods and the game in the forests. Three thousand persons are said to have died of cold in Sweden, and 80,000 bead of horned cattle were frozen to death in Hun gary. 1,600 London, with Bronze Ticket ...75gs. sh. 16 1,5 , 10 London University IOU sh. all pd 8 WO King' College lOOl. 1934 MISCELLANEOUS. 10, XI 15s.

A gentleman residing upon his estate, not a hundred miles from Canterbury, lately rode his' own horse to town ; and during his temporary stay in the metropolis, more than once made his appearance in the Park, mounted upon his handsome and gallant steed. On one of these occasions it was his good fortune to be observed by the Prince, who, with his attendants, were riding in the park at the time, and who was so struck with it e beautiful figure of the animal which our friend rode, that his Royal Highness immediately dispatched one of his attendants in the direction is which our friend was then cantering off the ground in fine style, .in order to ascertain whether he would upart with the splendid animal he rode." The servant of his Royal Highness was successful. He presently ov e rtook the gentleman in question ; and, after respectf u lly_o snaking known the nature of the command of would be master, Roya l s . servant's re begged to know whether our frienkwould be pleased t., pan with the horse in questi on Th e reply was a negative one. His joinder was remarkable. 6 _ It . sald he, " you t h e horse was not to be tempted should think proper to sell, the Prince commande,i me to say you have only to name your own price.' The The servantowner re o t f urned to tike Royal party with a negative thus disappoint e d. O ur friend had very answe r to his Royal master's propositi on . P r i nce . A l bert pwraospenroly sentt-tobe his card of address back, which was punc (iet uhe re Pr l i y nc t e o bthyetheffe en m t, e t s h se e n t g t e h r e . ow T n h e e r Princea e r gave esn t o e r d tor t l d ers of the " crack anim a l" h e h a d so much admired, should be written to. A ccor di ng l y on hisreturn home, our friend received received a letter from one Seymour, stating his Royal Highness's anxious desire to possess himself of the "ele gant horse he had seen hiss ride in the Park, &c.," with this very significant peroration—" mention your own figure ; money shall not prevent the Prinee from making a purchase." The gentleman returned for answer he was not disposed to sell. Another letter followed this seconit negative. A second letter from Seymour almost as soon arrived. A third refusal followed on the part of ourfriend. A third communication was ultimately received from the amanuensis of the Queen's Consort. Our friend, as a favour, was requested to consent to sell, and name his price. He did not consent to sell, but sent for answer, that a thousand pounds alone could purchase the said horse. Of course, he determined to adopt this line of conduct, not out of any disrespect to IA Royal Highness, but simply to put an end to further impertuni ties. The reader will he astonished to hear the next post not only brought our friend a reply to his last, from t h e same party, but also a "cheque" for 1,000 pounds! e need not say the horse was delivered— and to whom ? Why, to one 'of the Prince's grooms, who had been sent from Buckingham Palace purposely to take charge of the same, and conduct it safely to London.—Kentish Observer.
