'The success attained by the Credit Mobilier of Paris has !recently led to the establishment of somewhat similar insti• 'lotions in London, their introduction meeting with marked success, as is evidenced by the large dividends paid to their shareholders,and increased value of the shares, such increase being from 100 to 200 per cent, on the amount paid. The fact that Scotland, notwithstanding the magnitude and rapid increase of her commerce, has no institution of the kind contemplated, has suggested to the projectors of the present company the formation of an institution founded on similar principles to the Credit Mobilier of Paris, bat em bracing a larger field for its operations. The progress of Scotland has been greater during late years than that attained by any other country in the world. •Staistics of shipbuilding on the Clyde alone, during the year 1863, show that 171 vessels, with an aggregate ton nage of 124,000 tons, were launched, while 3,148 sailing ships, with an aggregate tonnage of 350,956 tons entered the river in the same year; but this number has been ex ceeded by the steamers, which reached the large number of 10,555, having an aggregate tonnage of not less than 1 ,035,982 tons. One of the great advantages of this establishment will be that scotch houses can negotiate their foreign bills through the medium of this establishment, this department being one of the most profitable in banking business. The directors have succeeded in completing arrange ments for the purchase of the well-known, established, and profitable business of Messrs. D. Nathan and Co., of Cornhill, London, bullion and exchange bankers (who take a large responsibility in the company), upon such terms and conditions as will be satisfactory to the shareholders, the paymentof the purchase money being made entirely in shares of the company. Arrangements have also been made for the transfer, upon equally favour able terms, of the business of N. Monteaux et File, Palais Royal, Paris, bullion and exchange bankers, long known as the old es t and most extensive establishment ofe kind in France, and now carried on by Victor Monteaux, their successor, who will retain a considerable share interest in the company. The contracts for the transfers of the above list lie at the ofll , e of the solicitors for inspecqon. These arrangements will constitute a nucleus, and enable the directors at once to commence operations, as they enter upon a valuable connection of many years' standing, and embracing a very large number of foreign correspondents. The objects proposed to be effected by the company are 1. To receive money at call or on deposit for fixed terms, and the ordinary business of bankers. 2. To grant temporary or permanent loans on approved public securities or private undertakings of undoubted merit and known solidity. 3. To make advances on merchandise and dock and other warrants, on title deeds of property in possession or rever sion for any temporary purpose, on contracts for carrying out or the finishing of works, or any other securities where their safety is unquestionable and the benefit to the com pany sufficiently advantageous. 4. The purchase and sale of the precious metals in all their forms. The company will be enabled by its facilities and connexions, to import and export bullion, and to deal in foreign coins and bank notes on an extensive scale. 5. By means of the Paris branch it is proposed to un dertake the shipment of silver to the East via Marseilles, which can be done at a considerable saving of expense and time, 6. The business transacted by the issue of small bills and letters of credit for the convenience of travellers and emi grants is incredible. Remittances from America to Ireland alone amount to several millions sterling per annum. By affording the same facilities to the English, German, and French population of America it is confidently anticipated that most profitable business can be done. 7. To negotiate approved foreign or inland bills, to trans mit funds in specie and in bills or otherwise, to any foreign State, and to arrange purchases or sales of any British or foreign securities at home or abroad. 8. To cash coupons, and to realise or undertake the management of the dividends on loan or other securities. Application for shares to be made to the secretary, at the temporary offices of the company or the brokers.

The Eastern Exchangeßaiiii(iiinlied), is formed to supply a want which has been long felt, and its value will be imme diate y recognised. Although Liverpool enjoys an immense export and import trade, and is the port through which the valuable manufac tures i f Lancashire and Yorkshire pass, it his not a single Bank connected w,th the Mediterranean. the East Indies, China, or Australia. The exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures to the above countries for the year 1863 amounted to about forty millions, and by far the greater portion was shipped from Liverpool, whilst the produce received in return into Liverpool was of a va'ue of upwards of sixty millions, making a total of one hundred millions sterling. Whilst London has upwards of fifty Banks, with branches in different countries, established for the purpose of affording every facility in Exchange transactions, there is no Bank of this description, with 1 s head-quarters in L:verpool, con nected with the East.

Some evidence of the safety and profitable character of the business is afforded by the present values of the undermen tioned Banks, whose chief sources of profits are in coc•neetion with Exchange operations, _ _ _ " The figure of Fame, winged and trumpeted, passing and repgssing through the Magic Fountain, i•s so complete an illusion that it wellnigh ceases to be illuso - y."--Morning Star, Feb. 19. _ Prince Blossom, Miss Townley.

My Lord,—ln answer to your inquiry, I beg to say that having been duly appointed electrical referee by the Bonelli Company, I was present at what should have been the com pe itive trial between the Bonelli and Hughes' instruments. I have no hesi ation in saying that I consider the work done by the Bonelli instrument conclusively proved all that has been stated in its favour. Extraordinary, however, as was the rapidity and precision both of type-setting and trans mission on that day, the public work done on Monday during and after heavy rain was still more satisfactory; the correct nessY, attested by the returns, on Saturday was absolute, and toe large amount of general messages, as well as the steadily increasing business of the c mpany, afford ample evi dence that in this the essential quality of telegrsphy, the ordinary work is not wanting. lam preparing a report of my observations, i n w h ich I shall have occasion to notice rainy other excellent points in th e sys t e m. but I feel bo un d to say thkt I saw none with which I see reason to find fault, the necessity for the use of five wires being, in my opinion, sully compensated by the immense advantages secured.

THE METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.—At th e weekly meeting of this Bo ard yesterday the engi neer (Mr. Bazalgette) reported that, a t th e present time, b a b y ot the one-sixth Northern Outfal l of the an Sealertr m etropolitan the Thames at ebb tide at B arki ng , whence it wa s carr i e d eovrtorks, and discharged into sewage was intercepted to the sea. This sewage, about 14,000,000 gallons in quan tity, was formerly discharged into the river within the me tropolis at low water. The progress made with the main drainage works was thus stated :—On the Main Drainage Middle Level Sewer, work to the amount of £306,000 had been done; on the Western Sewers, 31 miles of sewer had been constructed at the cost of £151,000; at the Northern Outfall Reservoir works had been executed to the estimated cost of 4163,000 ; at the Southern Low Level Sewer, 3 1 miles of work had been completed at the cost of £110,000; at the Southern Outfall works at Crossness, work to the amount of £213,000 had been finished. With respect to the Northern Thames Embankment, the e ngineer reported that the works of the first contract (from 'Westminster-bridge to the east side of Cannon-street) had been much delayed by the diffi culty in obtaining possession of the wharves on the side of the river, and by the necessity there was for making expe riments as to the best form of iron caissons for excluding the tide. Works had been done on this contract to the amount of £30,000, an d on the second contract (between Waterloo-bridge and the eastern side of Temple -gardens) to the value of £12,000. The report was ordered to be entered on the minutes. A deputation from the Marylebone Vestry urged upon the Board that it was desirable to give vestries the power of granting superannuation allowances to aged officers. The subject was referred to a committee. The names of various thoroughfares were altered, and the villas, terraces, crescents, places, rows, cottages, and other subsi diary names in the old thoroughfare known as Lower-road or Lower-street, Islington, were ordered to be abolished, and the whole thoroughfare was re-named Essex -street.

At last, as a favour, Mr. Chalmers per mitted the 300-pounder, with its formidable steel shot and 451 b. of powder to be tried against it, and this went through it, as every one knew it would do, though doing far less injury to the backing than such ponderous missiles: ordinarily it filet. On the svhole, the target was pronounced the most success ful ever tried, though all the officers then present were of opinion at the close of the day that a slight alteration would improve it, by reducing the thick ness of the iron plate between the beam of teak by three-quarters of an inch, anti adding the metal thus gained to the 21in. external plate, so as to bring the latter up to 4ire in thickness. Such a change, it was confidently expected, would, without adding at all to the weight of the target, add nearly 25 or even 30 per cent, to its powers of resistance. At all events, it was then conclusively established that Mr. Chalmers's system of backing armour was one which required to be attentively considered and examined with a view to the construction of future ironclads. It was lighter than the iron frigates now building, it was proved to be stronger, and its inventor claimed that it was nearly 25 per cent. cheaper. The lightness and cheapness are, of course, most im portant considerations, which when superadded to the all-important one of increased strength, spoke loudly in favour of a careful trial of the new plan. The Iron Plate Committee have, we believe, re ported on the success of Mr. Chalmers's system in the strongest terms, but from that day to this the Admiralty have refused to adopt it or allow of its adoption in any way, or even to permit Mr. Chalmers to make a fresh target with the improvements which we have said were suggested by the officers on the ground. They have since admitted the perfect success of the target by paying not the £1,650 they agreed for it—that is, £1,250 for the target, and £4OO to Mr. Chalmers for his time and labour as an engineer in constructing it,—but by paying for the cost of construction, £1,250, and refusing to allow Mr. Chalmers a single shilling for his time and trouble. How they can possibly defend the expenditure of £1,250 on the ground that the target was an im portant public benefit that justified the outlay, and yet maintain that the gentleman who canstructed it deserved so little that they are entitled to break their agreement with him and refuse him payment for his time and labour, we are at a loss to conceive. Such, however, is the fact as the matter now stands. Mr. Chalmers, however, brings a far graver com plaint than this want of payment against the Ad miralty. Since his target was tried, another and a very successful one, called the Bellerophon target, has been made by Mr. Reed, the chief naval con structor. In our notice of the performances of this at Shoebury last autumn we stated at the very out set that its designer had apparently derived some most valuable hints from having seen that made by Mr. Chalmers first. Certainly in the tests to which it was subjected Mr. Reed appeared to be favoured. The 300-pounder was fired three times at the Chalmers' target ; twice with 1501 b. round shot fired with 501 b. of pounder, and once with a 300- pounder steel shot driven by 451 b. of powder. On the contrary, the 300-pounder was only allowed to be fired once at the Bellerophon target, and that with a reduced charge of 351 b. of powder. In short, 3,6001 b. of shot, with a proportionate mass of powder, were discharged throughout a long day at the target of Mr. Chalmers, and only 1,5001 b. of shot, with a proportionate reduction of charge, were allowed to be fired against Mr. Reed's. It was to show how different would have been the re sults had the trials been fairly made between the two that the Chalmers' target was again fired at yesterday with the maximum charges used against Mr. Reed's—namely, a 1501 b. shot and 351 b. of powder. These were spherical cast iron shot, tin d from the 300.-pounder at 200 yards' range. The first shot almost missed, as it struck just on the edge of the lowest plate, and passed under it into the earth. The second struck fairly, and re mained, with its larger half imbedded in the plate to a depth of three inche., at the bottom of which it bad made a crack in the reelal about half an inch wide and four long. It broke two bolts which had been hastily put in without elastic washers (for the whole target had to be roughly rebuilt for the pur poses of the experiment), but it did not penetrate the plate or injure the inner skin. The third shot struck on the edges of two plates near where they had been injured before, but, in spite of this, it failed to penetrate to the backing, and, in fact, its entire mischief was, when compared with the missile, slight beyond all expectation. These three shots were considered so satisfactory to all as to the strength of the target that further trials were thought unnecessary, and it only remained to judge by comparison from this how the positions of the two targets would have been reversed if Mr. Reed's bad been tested so severely as Mr. Chalmers's, or vice versa, Mr. Chalmers's had been only tried with the comparatively light missiles which were chosen for Mr. Reed's. After this trial was over experiments were made with steel shot of various tempers, manufactured from the Bessemer metal by John Brown and Co., against a 51-inch plate, also of John Brown's. It will be sufficient on this occasion to say that all the shots were of excellent manufacture as to toughness and quality of metal, and all gave that enormous increase of penetration over projectiles made from any other material which seems to prove conclu sively that in warfare against iron we must rely on soft steel, and soft steel only, for our missiles. They at least do some mischief, but wrought or cast iron in any shape—round, conical, or flat- headed—are as useless as so much mud. But, good as were the results effected by these shots, which always made a serious indent varying from 3in. to 31in,, they were quite eclipsed by the really wonderful performance of Messrs. Brown and Co.'s armour plate, This was pronounced yesterday to be the finest plate yet fired against. It had been badly battered before the experiments commenced, and had been penetrated through and through in two places by the Armstrong 600 pounder. Yet, though, in addition to these injuries, it received ten more steel shot yesterday in a space of some six feet by three, it never gave even the most trifling indica• tions of cracking, but to the last was as tough and firm and uniform throughout as a slab of copper. Experiments were then tried as to the best mode of fastening on armour plates—whether by rivets, by the improved Warrior bolts, or by a new method proposed by Capt. E. M. Palliser, of the 7th Hus Ears, a young officer whose scientific attainments are well-known in the service. In this competitive trial Capt. Palliser's plan achieved an easy and conspicuous victory, as all the engineers on the ground knew it would from its adherence in principle to the plainest mechanical truths. All the iron bolts in armour plates having been showing, as plain as iron could show, that the reason of their continually breaking was the diminu tion of strength caused by their screw threads being cut into the substance of the bolt. OW' tain Palliser has perfectly remedied this defeat by turning down his bolts so as to leave their screw thread at the end en profi/e—tli,a , t is to say so much thicker than the b olt itself. 1 hus the bolt has a certain thickness, and therefore strength, plus the screw thre ad, instead of minus yesterday all hi s the screw thread as hithe rto. a bolts held firm, and none snappedrd their screw heads, though the 68 pounder was trittriedagainst the plat es they fastened and agin. lhe other three pans for rivetting o r bolting on armour plates all gave way sooner or later, so that in the result of this exPerlment we may record another important step gained towards the complete effi ciency of ou r armour-frigates. The Armstrong and Whit wor th compe ti t i on i s fast approaching its crisis as regards the real prac tical question,, now at issue—the endurance of the G ans. The details of the last week's trials are, however, far too imp or t an t t o b e di sm i sse d at the h close of a long article, and we must therefore defer our weekly resume of these experiments to another uceasion. ~u ~~~-~ PHEASANT REARING for 1864 CHAMBERLIN'S AROMATIC SPANISH MEAL, ARKER RICE, PELLET, 1).

Yesterday the summer season at this highly scien tific place of destruction may be said to have been commenced by the return of the Iron Plate Commit tee, after a rather long absence, to complete their series of experiments on a target which has attracted and deserved more attention than any that has ever been tried at Shoebury—the target of Mr. Chal mers. From the fact of the discussions which have arisen about this target in both Houses of Parlia ment, as well as that other important experiments were to be tried, and that the Armstrong and Whit worth competition was still in progress, the experi- ments yesterday drew a large attendance to Shoe bury, including most of the members of the three committees who have work in hand, and a number of officers of all branches of the service. So much had been said as to the powers of resistance of the Chalmers' target, and so serious a difference of opinion has arisen on this point between the Admi r4lty, who deny its merits, end the officers and scientific gentlemen appointed to conduct these experiments, who uphold them, that it is necessary before refer/kg to the experiments which were made yesterday to state britfly what has already passed in relation to this invention. It is now little more than 12 months since the Chalmers' system of building ironclads was experimented on at Shoebury, and dell the targets that have yet been tried—and there have been a large number constructed at the expense of the nation not worth the value of the powder expended in shaking them to pieces—not one has ever been shown to b 3 so perfectly satis factory as that of Mr. Chalmers. All inventors, when they shake their mechanical theories against the downright matter-of-fact arguments of the guns at Shoebury, find that they have some thing to learn—most of them that they have everything; and even Mr. Chalmers, as yet the most successful of inventors of this kind, was no exception to the former rule. Before the day's firing at his target wasover last year it was admitted to be the most successful in its powers of resistance ever experimented on, though Mr. Chalmers and all on the ground saw at once that, without any in crease in its weight, but merely by a slightly dif ferent arrangement of the ironwork used in its structure, its strength could be increased, perhaps, 30 per cent.—in fact, the target could be rendered almost periect. At the time that this target was tried everything but the Warrior had failed in the most conspicuous and ignominious manner to resist shot, the worst failures as a rule always being the targets of our moat eminent engineers. Mr. Chal mers, however, had made the Admiralty such a liberal offer that they could not but accept it, though they then believed that in the principle of the Warrior target they bad obtained perfection, He offered to make his target entirely at his own expanse for £1,650, on the understanding that Hits principle of construction was of public value, and if it resisted perfectly the artillery ordeal to which the Admiralty would subject it, the Admiralty were to pay for it. If, on the contrary, it was defective in principle or strength Mr. Chalmers was to bear the loss, and their lordships to hear no more about the matter. On this agreement the target was tried in April last at Shoeburyness. The target was 13ft. long by 10ft. broad, faced externally with hammered armour plates 33.-in. thick. Behind these were laid longitudinal teak beams 10in. wide by about sin. deep, a web or flange of wrought iron '4 in. in thick ness passing between each beam, and being rivetted to a plate lain. in thickness at the back. Behind this plate, again, came another pad of teak sin. thick, which rested against the skin of the ship—the same thickness as that of all our ironclads, -:ths of an inch, and behind this were the usual upright beams, or iron ribs of the vessel. Thus it will be seen that, though the target was apparently a light one, from its external plates being only 34in. thick, yet, in reality, it had, after ad, sin. of iron in it, with lain. of teak, exclusive of the longitudinal cellular iron webbing we have mentioned between the teak beams, which, though not nominally called upon to resist the shot, yet, in truth, aided the resistance enormously, by distributing the force of the con cussion and giving great stiffness to the whole structure. The theory of the target was that its peculiar arrangement of a cellular webbing be tween the teak and iron plate would obviate the evils that generally result from a hacking com posed of wood only, such as buckling and penetra tion, and would guard against the equally injurious effects of vibration, which tell with such severity upon the fastening bolts. The plan of its con struction had, therefore, been calculated to disperse over a large area the power or work that existed in the shot at the moment of impact, so as to give a very large surface of resistance by the time the con cussion reached the inner lining of the ship's frame, The trial to which this structure was subjected was precisely similar to that of the Warrior, though, as that of Mr. Chalmers was one-third amaller, it was obviously more severe for the smaller target, as the fire had to be more concentrated. It is sufficient now to say here that the apparently inexhausti ble powers of resistance of this small and compara tively light target perfectly astounded everyone then on the ground. Some three or four of the rivet-heads (which it was admitted were made too email) were jumped off, one of the armour bolts had been dies placed, and the ribs gave signs of distress where the great salvoes bad been concentrated —but this ~«~ C T-3 I IP; TRIAL OF THE CALEDCIIit-4; r, _ rfes.2-.xid • 7'll ,Matirty The iron-cased screw steam frigate. .iste.4L. 1- :74 35 guns, was taken from tho large bas \l4 , llii 3 Qk noes dockyard on Thursday last for a few axileaa run, to test the working cap abilities of the ma chinery previous to her official trial at the measured mile. On Friday the first ofackll trial of the en gines took place off the Maplin &Inds, under the immediate superintendence of Captain W. K. Hall, C,8., chief of the Sheerness Steam Reservo ; Messrs. William Rumble, inspector of machinery afloat at Sheerness ; George Bloxland, chief engine9r of the Sheerness Dockyard, and F: Martin, senior assist ant master shipwright, were in attendance to watch the results of the trial on the part of the Admiralty. The firm of Messrs. Mauchley, Son, and Field, con• tractors for the machinery, were represented by Mr. Telford Field, and the engines were in ehargik of Mr. Henry Warriner. IThe Caledonia i s a t i m b er f rame d vesse l , b u il t at; Woolwich Declryard, and Eke her sister ships. and Royal Oak, is cased in Prince Consort, Ocean, rolled iron armour-plates 41 inches thick, extending• from stem to stern and gun wale to five feet belol v water line, the ship's sides being filled and solid and strengthened with iron to enable them to carry /hie heavy armour, which is secured with through bolds having largewashers and nuts on the inside. Theuppm! deck is constructed of iron beams of the Butterly type, upon which fin. plates are riveted, which gives great strength to this part of the ship. The whole of the work of the ship having been performe d by the artisans employed in a Government Doc}:. yard, the vessel may be favourably contrasted wita others supplied by private contractors. The Cale. donia is rigged, having her three lower masts and bowsprits of iron, and her topmasts, yards, &c., being of wood. The Mauling rigging is of gs l vanised iron-wire rope. The machinery is supplied by the firm of Messrs. Mandsley, Son, and Field, of London, and consists of a pair of horizontal double piston rod engines, which work the screw shaft direct. Each engine has the whole of its starting and regulating levers grouped together within convenient reach of the, engineers. The massive shaft which passes through the stem tube carries the propeller fixed upon it, thus doing away with the well and hoisting app.- ratus, which spoil su many of our noble ships and cramp their steering apparatus. The propeller, which has four blades, variable in pitch from 20ft. to 25ft., and is 20in. long on lino of keel, with a diameter of 21ft., was invented by the Admiralty, and has been found very successful in decreasing the vibration both in the Achilles as well as in this ves sel. The screw can be disconnected from the en gines when the ship is under sail by withdrawing the coupling bolts and allowing the after length of shaft and propeller ti turn round. The vessel is fitted with two auxiliary engines for feeding the boilers; there are also two others for extinguishing fire and pumping out ship. Two steam crabs are also fixed on deck for the purpose of raising ashes and for general purposes. During the trial the Caledonia had a draught of water forward 22ft 4in, and aft 23ft llin. She had on board 245 tons of coal, 200 tons of cables, stores, &c., and about 100 tons of water, crew, &o. Her guns and ordnance stores have not yet been put on board. Six runs were made at full boiler-power on the measured mile with the following results : First run—time, smin 24 secs; speed, 11.111 knots; revolutions of engines, 58; pressure of steam, 20; vacuum, 26. Second ran—time, 3min 58sec ; speed, 15.126 knots; revolutions of engines, 57; pressure of steam, 19; vacuum, 26. Third run—time, smin 31sec ; speed, 10876 knots; revolutions of engines, 58 ; pressure of steam, 19 ; vacuum, 26. Fourth run —time, 3min 57sec ; speed, 15.190 knots; revolutions of engines, 57 ; pressure of steam, 19 ; vacuum, 26. Fifth run—time, smin 40sec ; speed, 10.588 knots; revolutions of engines, 56 ; pressure of steam, 16.5 ; vacuum, 25.5. Sixth run—time, 4min Bsec ; speed, 14.516 knots; revolutions of engines, 56; pressure of steam, 16.5 ; vacuum, 25.5, giving as a first mean 13 . 118, 13001, 13 . 032, 12.889, and 12.552 knots ; and the second means:l3 . os9, 13 . 017, 12 . 961, and 12.720 knots, the true means being 12.939 knots per hour. Naval and Military Intelligence, THE NAVY. The screw steamship Bombay, 67, Capt. Colin A. Campbell, from the eastward, arrived yesterday morning at Plymouth. Rear-Admiral the Hen. Charles G. J. B. Elliot hoisted his flag on board during the forenoon, under the customary salutes. She has been completed with fuel and will embark supernumeraries, and unless there are any defects to make good, will proceed at once for the South American station. Letters rccoived at Plymouth from the screw steam-sloop Icarus, 11, state that she left Malta on the 19th of April, and arrived at Gibraltar on the 28th, when she received orders to proceed home wards immediately. Her officers expect to call at Portsmouth and then go to Sheerness, whore the crew will be paid off. The paddlewheel sloop Gorgon, condemned to be broken at Woolwich, was yesterday towed down to Greenhithe by the Monkey, Master-Commander Smithers, to act as a receiving hulk for the transfer of the officers and crew of the Queen's steam yacht Osborne, Staff Commander Bower, four cases of smallpox having made their appearance on board, The sufferers have been transported to the Naval Infirmary at Woolwich for treatment. The disease commenced with the gunner's mate. On mustering the ship's company for the doctor's inspection, three others were found to have caught the infection, one of whom is now very severely attacked. There are at present 11 cases in the infirmary at Woolwich, seven of whom are men of the Royal Marines. The Osborne was brought op to Greenhithe for the accommodation of the Board of Admiralty in their inspection of the Channel Fleet. The Admiralty yacht Vivid, Staff-Commander Allen, was yesterday ordered to hold in readiness at Woolwich to sail on Monday for Dover, to be in attendance on the fleet now in the Downs. A couple of dockyard lighters, laden with victualling stores for the ships of the squadron, were yesterday despatched from Woolwich in charge of a steams tug. The Admiralty yacht Black Eagle, Staff-Com` Fleet. mender Whillier, has sailed from Woolwich on special service from Heligoland. It is rumoured that the object of her mission is to watch the move ments of the Austrian shipsof ic t e h r e e l m in a e d n e o w ye in te t r h d o a s y e waters.

THE INTOLERABLE BOTHER OF CITY PROPERTY. —At the Auction Mart the other day, during the sale of some property situate in the line of th© street lead ing from Blackfriars Bridge to the Mansion House, the auctioneer stated that the owner of the property could seldom get his breakfast in a morning, without being dis turbed by some one or other who knew he had City pro perty, and wanted to know if any part of it was to be dis posed ef. He had also been applied to by upwards of sixty auctioneers and surveyors to negotiate with the improve went Commissioners the terms of compensation for the pro perty required for the new street, and he found his City property to be such an " intolerable bother," that ho WAS determined to get rid of it altogether,—City Press, ••Z z , / T c.~._ Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., D R.
