Sunderland is 27 miles from orpeth by NeWeastle, at present the . only . road, but by way of North Shields, where there is now tin excellent turnpike, the distance would be reduced to 13 tittles. The distance from South Shields to Morpeth, through Newcastle, is n miles, but by North Shields it would not exceed 17 miles of good and level turnpike-road. In each vase, the hills and pavement, from the Barras Bridge at New- I castle to the head of Gateithead (an inconvenience much corn 'kilned of, and whiCh does more injury to cattle than driving 'theM 6*or 7 miles upon an ordinary turnpike) would be avoid- arid the expence and delay of keeping the cattle upon the. road . ctio trifling consideration) would be saved. The Resident in North Shields would have a conVeyance from his own door directly southward, whilst those of South ShieldS and Sunderland would find a similar advantage in pro ceeding northward. The increasing populous towns of Blyth and Ilaitley, (of great consequence from their connection with collieries which are multiplying in their neighbourhood) the former - distant from North Shields ten miles, the latter six miles, both situated on the sea coast, will receive the greatest benefit from the Bridge in their communication with the south, through sea- I Port towns with which they have considerable and important intercourse ; and they will also partake of the general improve ment of North and South Shields. The persons interested in Sunderland Bridge and in the toads from South Shields to Durham and Stockton, from North Shields to, Newcastle, and from Shields to Morpeth , must r eap great . advantage from the increase of passage which the iaridge will promote. • , project will bear consideration not only as a mere matter of 44 ,1,importance, but in a national point of view, as regards the advantage Government will derive from the facility which will 1 ? gtven to the passage of troops, ordnance, and stores from . Nnrth to South Shields. Tynemouth Castle has been long used as a depot for military stores ; but the want of a ready c ommunication- 'with the southern bank of the river, was con - !tautly felt during the late war, when a bridge of barges and aat bottomed boats was constructed at enormous expence to little purpose. It i s understood that the distance from North Shields to Edin tgh, t/ a coast road, is shorter than front Newcastle to that city, by foe or six miles, and by a more level road ; and that a savin g of six of seven miles can be made in the distance from York to South Shields. It follows, then that, by a Bridge over the Tyne at Shields, the distance is shortened, between York and Edinburgh, twelve or thirteen miles, which will deserve the attention and suppor t of hi s Lordship the Postmaster Gene ral An alteration is about to be made in the running of the mail, to Pass from S un d er l an d to Newcastle, missing South - Shie lds ; y et Ithe inhabitants, s , is certain thi s measure , so serious an evil to only resorted to for want of the projected Bridge.

TRADE WITH THE NORTH-WEST COAST OF AM EAICA. ST. PETERSitURGII, SEPT.. 4, _lB2l.—Cotisider-: ing that it appears from the reports which have been submitted to us, that the commercial relations of our subjects with the - Alentian Isles, and in the Russian establishments on the North West Coasts of America, are exposed to all sorts of diSad vantages and vexations by the smuggling practices there car ried on ; Considering moreover, that the principal cause of these inconveniences arises from the dective arrangement of the limits of the navigation along those shores, and the want of fixed forms for the government of commercial relations, as well atithe said places as'on the Eastern shore of Siberia, we have judged it necessary to determine these relations by the follow ing decree I. It is permitted to the subjects of Russia alone to engage in the commerce, the whale and other fisheries, and in every branch of industry whatever, carried on in the isles, ports, gulfs; and, generally, along the North-west coast of America, to commence at Behring's Straits,, and extending to 51.

N. latitude.. "2. It is, in consequence, forbidden to all foreign vessels to land at the Russian establishments above designated, or to approach within the distance of one hundred Italian miles of the same. All ships contravening thiS order, shall forfeit their cargoes. " 3. Vessels are exeepted from the above, who, by storms or failure of provisions, are obliged to seek the coast.

It the weather permits, a pilot shall be sent to . foreign merchant vessels, in order to assign a proper anchorage to that description of shipping. Every Captain contravening this or der shall pay a tine of 100 piastres. " 6. All row boats from the merchant vessels must proceed to a place pointed out, where there' will he hoisted, during the day, a white flag, anal a lantern by night. An inspector will watch there to see that no merchandise- gUes out, or is secreted.

CLERK l rri jE ov i e li d Er the D f O •ur C tl iC ie S r co ß n l s L id L er . ation of h of the Leith .Docks Bill. t e report Lord A. HAMILTON that said from the great importance of this measure, and owing to not the pecun iary t inter es t i nvp l ve d r it, it requi re d th e mos t serious'consid aion. Many of th e inha bitants both of Edinb urg h a nd L e i t h ' were opposed to th e Bill. For his own p a rt, a l t h ou gh h e would, move for the rejection of the Bill, as he had not read the evidenc e connected with it, if such_ a motion were made he would support it. The port of Leith, which ma be fairly egerded as aport of Edinbu rg h, h a d been put u p to sa l e of .l( t•Stock Company, and it hap pened that many of them Were buy ers and sellers, being Members of the Corporation, who sold the Such a s be would contend, was most of Company that purchased it. Besides, there was large improper and illegal. debt upon the Dock. An action now depending to decide this de bt , was amounting to ' contended for one party and denied 2"'"°l.as to be so much by the lt was therefore most other. improper t for the House of Commons to interfere before that hoped the Lord acl" was decided.—(llear, hear !)—He he was afriendAdvocate w as a friend to the law of the land, . al t h ough e. to this Btll • and he would undertake to.eay, that the I earn 1 ford would not say that the sale un der""the circuinsta , ..175i0C,h1EVoteited againsit tne untairnees of making him personally responsible for this Bill. It was not his Bill ;lle had, with other Scotch Members, attended the evi dence, and merely moved the Bill as a private not a public Bill. The Noble Lord had not read the evidence ; he had not attended the COmmittee: in short, lie acknowledged he knew nothing about it. except what he had heard from report. Lord A. HAM lI.TON explained. Mr. HUME was desirous of knowing how far Ministers were responsible for their patronage of this Bill : he regarded it as one of the most shameful jobs brought into this House. If the Ministers were in the (louse, he would be glad to know dis tinctly whether Lord Melville had not promised the support of Government to this measure ? On the part of several boroughs Which he represented, lie was instructed to oppose this Bill, and on the part of the whole community of. Scotland he protested against the further progress of the Bill, as injurious to the trade of Scotland, by the imposition of a new and heavy duty. He 'contended that the trustees had violated their trust ,by the sale of the chick to e theinselves, and he was satisfied that the Lord Chancellor would confirm that opinion. Instead. of borrowing the money they , wanted at 3i per cent., they had . seCured to themselves 6i per cent. for ever.—(Cries of " No, no F)—Sorne Persons had sold their shares at a premium of 15 per cent. He was sure, if it "calm before him, the -Lord Chancellor would 1 vitiate the whole proceeding. The two principal grounds on which lie would oppose the Bill were, first, because he Was un willing to consent to an imposition of a new duty on the. trade of any part of Scotland ; and ; secondly, because he thought it highly objectionable, whilst the • aniount of the debt was yet un ascertained, and an action was depending to determine jt. The proceeding had already caused much mischief, and he hoped that his Hon. Friend would take the sense of the House, and give every opposition to it. Sir G. CLERK thought the charges brought against ,the, Corporation of Edinburgh, by the two' IlOn. Members, very unfair and unjust, as neither or them had attended the Com mittee upon the bill. Some years ago the COrporation of Edin burgh had contracted a debt of 265,000/. for certain improve ments of the peel of Leith. The Corporation would have been threatened with bankruptcy ifan immediate demand for payment of this suni was made. From the evnbairassment in which the Corporation was placed, they proposed the sale of their interest in the dOcks to a joint stock company. The plan did not ori ginate with the Corporation Of Edinburgh, but was the sug gestion of a merchant of Leith. The plan had been proposed for several months before it was sanctioned or taken up by the Corporation of Edinburgh. It was not until'the 9th October that the shares were taken up, owing to the favourable state of the public funds. The merchants of Leith released themselves from an obligation into which they had entered to take any of the shares, which quickly rose to a premium of 15 percent.— The high rate' of tip per cent. was objected to as too high a rate of interest, but if that was the largest amount of interest that could accrue to the members of the company, lie thought it was not too much. considering the risk that attended the specula tion. Re denied that this measure was, as had been asserted, a Government rirenSere, taken up by Government with a view of overwhelming all opposition. It was unfair to have such a measure of general utility opposed by Hon. Illenibers who had neither read the evidence, nor attended t he Committee on the Bill. mr. .1. P. GRANT said the Bill did not rest upon the Vornmittee, but upon t he broad principles, of law. The Ma gistrates, as Trustees of the port of Leith, sold the trust to themselves . , and afterwards disposed of the shares at a premium of 15 per coif. Such a proceeding he was sure would be declared illegal in the Conn of Chancery. The trustee had' taken the 'shares upon speculation of an Act of Parliament, and by so doing brought theineelvei within the Bubble Act. The Corporation had sold" the property without an 'advertise ment. The Community of Leith petitioned against the Bill. and every town on die Leith coast trading with that port had followed the exaniple. Ile called upon the House, therefore, as it valued the law and the interest of the community of Leith, who were unttpresented in that House, to reject this unjust measure. , Mr. W. DUN DAS briefly supported the Bill. Lord (I LENORCII protested ap;ainst the manner in which those Senteli j(ibtf were managed in the Committee up stall's, which Committee was principally composed of Scotchnien. said the Bill wa He a most imp or t an t Mr. ABERCROMB V sai s one, and involved m an y interests. o jected .to transferring the management of those Docks :nirresponsibl e p ar ty — _ to a Joint stock Company , to pe'rsofis nr . t.h aving a n y i nterest i n the concern : they had no i nterest but tha t of receiving th e i r , divi dends.
