The NExr TURN to present a CLERK to the VI CARAGE of CHEW MAGNA, in the County of Somerset, with the Chapelry of Dundry annexed. The - Parish of Chew Magna, according to a recent survey made by the au thority of the Tithe Commissioners, contains 4,797 acres, the Tithes upon which payable to the Vicar have been commuted at 430/. 19s. The glebe consists of 106 acres of Pasture Land, and there are also a sabstintial Parsonage-house, and sundry other dwellings and tenements belonging to the Vi carage of the estimated annual value of 901. The Parish of Dundrv, according to a survey made thereof, contains 2,400 acres, and the glebe consists of five acres. The annual value of the Vicarage and Chapelry taken together after deducting all rayments to which the incumbent will be liable, is estimated at 1,0001. or thereabouts. The inewnlynt will, in addition to such annual income have the privilege of granting leases for lives of certain estates belonging to the Vicarage, the annual value whereof to be let exceeds 6007., and although the reserved or quit rents are small in amount, the tines payable on the renewal of the lives, which are arbitrary, and the option to renew or not by the in cumbent, render this part of the property extremely valuable. The present incumbent has attained the age of eighty-three, and has filled the Church for upwards of fifty-two years. Chew Magna is situate midway between Bath and Wells, about 115 miles from London, and in one of the most delight ful parts of the county of Somerset.

OFFICES -20, John-street, Adelphi. This Company is formed for Paving the Metropolis, and twenty miles round. Specimens of the principle have been laid down at Whitehall, Buckingham Palace, and Oxford-street, where 2,000 yard s more are commenced. The principle is a new section of the cube. The Blocks are cut across the grain, at an angle of 63 degrees 26 mir.ltes 5 seconds and 8-Ioths of a second, which causes the diagona 1 joining of the obtuse angles of the two parallelopipedes to fall in a perpendicular straight line, which, laid down obliquely, gives to a surface, perpetually even, all the strongth of an arch. The streets of- London alone comprise 6,000,000 square yards, and are kept in repair at an annual expense of 300,0001. The profits of the Company will be derived from the original laying down of the Pavement, each million of square yards yie!ding 150,000/. profit—and also from keeping their pave ment in-repair, which on a moder.te calculation will amount to 60,000/_ per annum---ct•the same time effecting a 'saving of one-half of the Paving -rates to the several parishes. The pre- • sent orders received by the Company amount to 39,0001. Ne gotiations are pending for other works to a great extent. Meetings have been held at Liverpool and Manchester, at which, after the principles of. the Wood Pavement were ex plained, Resolutions were unanimously passed, approving of the scientific principle, adopted by the Metropolitan Patent Wood Pavement Comoilly -alad strongly recommending its ge neral use. THE " ARCHNEDES" STEAM VESSEL. It was at first apprehended, that the necessity for the very rapid revolution of the screw would produce a de trimental, and, perhaps, irremediable amount of friction, and consequent tear and wear of the shaft, bearers, &c. These apprehensions have been by no means realized. The screw being under water, and consequently in a constantly cold medium, which, itself, serves to lubri cate the sockets like oil, the wear by friction is asto nishingly small —not, indeed, worthy of notice. We have seen one of the bearers, which has been in use for many months, and it appears, for every practical pur pose, as perfect as when it was first put in. The engine (none of the best, we think) works at the rate of about twenty-five strokes per minute, and as each turn of the shaft is multiplied upon the screw by about it fol lows that the revolutions of the revolving scull wheel (for such it is) are about 133 per minute—the peri pbery being 5 feet 9 inches. The vessel has steamed 3,000 miles within the last six weeks. - .

In our last publication we gave a hasty and necessa rily imperfect account of the first experimental cruize of the " screw ship" Archimedes on the waters of the Mersey. Before noticing her second trip, we feel anxious to submit a few further particulars, for the in ,scrtion of which, being then almost on the eve of publi cation, we had not adequate time or disposable space. We may premise that, in making what we must cer tainly admit to be " favourable" notice of Mr. Smith's new plan for the propulsion of steam ships, we by no means wish to derogate from the merits of the highly scientific men, and enterprising proprietors of steam vessels, who have, for years past, devoted their talents, their individual exertions, and their means, to the im provement of steam navigation, whether as regards the machinery for propulsion, or the splendid fittings and equipments of vessels, both for home and foreign traffic. On the contrary, we deem them worthy of the highest commendation ; we believe that they have rendered an essential service to their country, and that whatever degree of perfection steam navigation may yet attain by subsequent appliances, its success is mainly attributable to their endeavours, and the public encouragement which it has so meritedly elicited.

One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding years is divided between the pol.cy-holders and shareholders ; three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen contingencies. The first division of Plats took place on the 13th of May, 1840, when a reduction of 60 per cent. vas declared on the annual premiums of all those policies entitled to participation.

It is, however, to a certain extent, a sure mode. and, though clumsy, is found—abundance ofsteatn-powcr been supplied—to work well, particularly in smooth water. It evidently, however, involves a great waste of steam, much of the power required to maintain a given speed being expended, not in propelling the vessel, but in thrashing down and afterwards in lifting up the water, in, to an inexperienced eye, a very trium phant—but certainly (we think) a very unprofitable manner. We shall not attempt to define precisely the average loss of steam thus occasioned ; but we will venture to say that it amounts to nearly one-half of that indicated in horses' power. It cannot reasonably be supposed that any mode of propulsion or traction of a vessel on so subtle an element as water, even in a quiescent state, can give the same velocity that may he acquired by steam agency on shore, where the f. lerusn, or hold of the propelling medium is on terra firma. The most that can be accomplished is to find the best principle of action in water which mechanical agency can supply, and which combines with speedy pro pulsion, strength, safety, and continuous application in all weathers. No one will suppose that it would require a traction anything like 460-horse power to drag the Liverpool steam-ship, for instance, at a rate of ten or elesen miles an hour, provided it could be, and were, properly applied. We will venture to say that one third that power, exerted upon a cable to pull her along, by a locomotive engine upon a bank, would bring her to the highest possible navigable speed, if, indeed, it did not (as the sailor would say) tear the bows out of her." From this prcposition, and 'knowing too that water presents a strong fulcrum (though not equal to land) for the propulsion of bodies insinuatingly formed pass through what may be called its superstratum, and that the finny inhabitants of the deep swim through it at great depths, where the resistance must be stronger, by a mere twirl of the tail or a twitter of the fin ; knowing this, we cannot shut out from our conviction the impression that vast improvement in steam, and in ked in general navigation, may yet be achieved, and that another century may produce novelties as wonder ful as those which have even at this early period of the science astonished .the mechanical philosophers of the day. It were futile to place limits on the inventive ad vancement of the human mind, and the simple fact that the application of steam to ships is scarcely of twenty years' standing, is almost enough to Warrant us in as- ' ;tning that it is yet in its infancys . With these opinions we hail every new mode of em ploying so mighty an agent which is atten d e d w ith practical success, though but to a certain extent, as furnishing a new datum, at least, by which we may proceed nearer to the point of perfection, if that can not be attained ; and of therefore advancing the ge neral welfare of mankind. We have no fear, more ever, that the general adoption of the present plan will be so stubbornly adhered to as to present the introduc tion of others that promise obvious advantages. Truth, in science as well as in morals, must ultimately prevail ; and we feel assured that the practical demonstration of the applicability of the water-screw to steam-vessels supplied by the Archimedes, will soon lead to a fair and unprejudiced trial of its efficacy on a more extend e d scale, with such imprOvements as experience and new There are several advantages of the screw principle , over the paddle-wheel which we have not before noticed, and which we shall now briefly enumerate. The water through which a vessel passes propelled byahe screw is not torn up and undulated by its action, to the endangerment of open boats, as in the commo tion frequently caused by paddle-wheels. One great feature in the screw is, that it renders steam navigation available in merchant ships on long voyages in times of need, at a small expenditure of fuel. Making steam the resort in such cases, sails being the general mode of propulsion, an engine that would on this principle pro pel a vessel even at the rate of from three to fire miles an heur, against a head wind, or in a dead calm, would accomplish a great desideratum. Many a fine and valuably-laden vessel from distant countries is delayed in our channels by contrary winds, after a fine voyage, for many days, to the great loss of the merchant ; for there is no denying that " despatch is the soul of busi ness." 'We have an instar.ce on record within the last six months of a fine ship, after a :run of fourteen or fifteen days from New York to the south of Ire land, having been battered about in the Channel for nearly as long a period, before she could reach this her port of destination. The de tension of vessels in calms, and particularly in what ! are termed " the horse latitudes " is also well known, and exceedingly costly and vexatious. In both cases the screw engine, even on a small scale, would be higlily beneficial. For a 'West India voyage we cannot cenceive anything more applicable than that combina tion of " sail and screw" which this application admits. If adverse winds prevail on starting amongst what are called "variables," the use Of the screw in addition to the sails, or per se it' requisite, and a speedy run south to the latitude in which the trade winds prevail, would inevitably ensure a short passage to any of the An tilles, without the further aid of steam. When the trade wind was met with, studding-sails might be set oelow and aloft, and the steam dispensed with. One of the most striking features of Mr. Smith's ap plication of the Archimedean screw is its undeniable simplicity. When a principle is simple, and to a great extent effective, we may entertain greater hopes of final perfectability (admitting that to be attainable) then if it were hedged round with complication. From simplicity we can proceed to additional mechanical gains ; from complicacy, unless by a reversion to simpli city, every addition gives but increased friction and de- Creased power. The screw, whether applied as a medium of moderate propulsion to a heavy vessel on emergencies, or in equal combination with sails, requires no unwieldy erection on the top sides of the ship, and may be applied in all weathers. The vessel may be thrown by the lee by a press of sail, and the propelling principle, being under water, is unaffected. In the construction of the Archi. 'necks, it was some time before the' projectors could make up their minds whether she should be modelled and built more as a steam or a sailing vessel, or a corn. bination, as nearly as possible, of both. They decided upon the last distinction. She is a yacht as well as a steamer. Had she been built with a lighter draft of water, for steam only, or principally, as our ordinary steam-boats, she would, no doubt, h.ve "steamed" with greater speed. As it is, she has, as an experimental vessel, done wonders. We have seen some extracts from the log-book of the Archimedes, while on six successive trips between Dover, Calais, and Ostend, in April last. On most of these occasions she beat H.M. packets Arid and Bearer, by some minutes. On the 6th day, Captain Chappell, R.N. (now with the vessel) and Mr. Lloyd, engineer, from her Majesty's Dock-yard, Woolwich, commenced the superintendence of the trials, by direction of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. In the voyage across, the Widgeon beat the Archimedes in the first trip, by 51 minutes. In returning, by 10 minutes, no sail being set. The Widgeon is the fastest of the Dover packets, is ten tons less than the Archimedes, has ten horse power more, is not so broad by five feet, and draws 41 feet less water. In a subsequent trial, in a dead calm, the Widgeon heat the Archimedes by only 31 minutes in going, and 4 in returning—the time occu pied being respectively 2 hours 9 minutes, and 2 hours 11 minutes. The Widgeon was, however, subsequently beaten by the Archimedes, as appears from the following extract from the log;-- " On the Ist of May, the Widgeon and Archimedes started together for Calais, with a fresh breeze, both car rying sail and steaming. Archimedes performed the dis tance to Calais Roads in 2h. lm., beating Widgeon by 9 minutes. In returning to Dover, she beat the Widgeon by 5 minutes, making the distance in 1h.53m. —the fastest passage ever made' between France and England by 14 minutes.' The Archimedes has since been beaten in our river by the Duchess of Lancaster, but so triflingly, and under such comparative circumstances, that the fact is noticed merely as a candid admission, but is of little or no weight , as affecting the "principle" of the screw, which is yet young in application on Mr. Smith's plan, and may doubtless be rendered much more efficient. It might be supposed that the propelling gear, being so near to the stern-post, the vessel would be difficult to steer. The contrary is, however, the fact. She takes her helm most readily, and will turn within an unusually small space. The propulsion being right on end, and under water, (rives her a decided advantage over vessels worked by paddle -wheels, one of which may pull more or less at her side according to its immersion or abstrac tion from the water, particularly in a sea-way. So little tendency has the screw to give an unsteady direction to the vessel, that when she was put head to wind she steamed on in a straight course without a hand at the helm for some minutes together. On a lee shore a small screw engine would doubtless be effectual when other means had failed in preserving life and property in merchani-ships. The Archimedes is provided with4a steam-whistle, like those of ra•lway locomotives, a useful contrivance, to warn vessels of her being near during fogs, &c. In noticing thus favourably Mr. Smith's screw pro peller, we have no object to serve but to bring it fairly before the public, who must be the final arbiters as re gards its merits. We may possibly over-rate its present practicable efficiency, and its probable improvements ; but we incline to think that its introduction will at no distant period be general, and that it may give rise to a new era in steam navigation. For ourselves, if the feel ing of en% y belonged to our nature we should envy Mr. Smith. NVe had rather be the author of this simple but wonderful " Essay on Ocean," than of Pope's " Essay on Man," for this admirable application of the screw of the great mechanical philosopher of Syracuse may do more good for humanity than all the fine perceptions of the poet, however adorned by the graces of language. But we must proceed to a short notice of TIIE TRIP ON WEDNESDAY. At twelve o'clock about seventy or eighty gentlemen of the first respectability embarked in the Archimedes, on her second experimental trip. The day was, as before, remarkably propitious, and the attention of Captain Chappell and the worthy inventor in offering every explanation with respect to the vessel and its mechanism was unremitting. As we have already given so minute a description of the steamer and de tailed fully the principle of its propelling power, we consider it. only necessary to add one or two additional particulars, more especially as the route taken was precisely similar to that adopted• on the previous day. We may premise, however, in passing, that her second trip has only tended to confirm our former favourably expressed opinion of this novel application. Shortly before reaching the Crosby Light-ship, the Duchess of Lancaster steamship was perceived making directly for the port, and as she was known to be a remarkably fast sailer, and Mr. Smith being desirous of proving the capabilities of the Archimedes, immediately " put about,"and awaited the arrival of the former vessel. On coming up. the screw was immediately put in motion, and the two vessels went admirably together for some distance, though we are hound in fairness to state that the Duchess had a ' very slight advantage in respect of speed, owing, as will be seen from the subjoined comparison, to her propor tions as to power, draught, &c., being better adapted for quick sailing. The Archimedes had also the full strength of the tide to contend with, whilst her com petitor ran the whole distance in the eddy. This is the first time the Archimedes has been beaten, with the slight exceptions above noticed. ARCHIMEDES. I DUCHESS OF LANCASTER. Diameter of cylinder 37 in. Diameter of cylinder ... 40 in.

We may also add that the Archinzedes had that morning taken in a four day's supply of coals, whilst the Duchess may fairly be presumed, on the termina tion of her voyage, to have had a very small quantity on board. It was the decided conviction of the whole company, that had the vessels been on equal terms the result would have been the reverse. The company were landed about half past four, all equally delighted with their gratifying excursion. As there was a feeling on board relativ e t o th e s lip or loss of power from th screw, the lollorving explana tion will doubtless be satisfactory :—The screw, being 8 feet pitch, would, if working in a solid, advance 8 feet for each revolution ; but, working in a fluid, the relati‘e difft-rence between the speed of the screw and the vessel appears, at first sight, to be considerable, from the supposed oblique action of the propeller. The following mode of calculating the speed of both will show that the dlfference is barely one-sixth, which is considerably less than that of ordinary paddle-wheels. The number of revolutions of the engine per minute is 26, which, multiplied by the spur wheels 51 times, gives that number of turns to the screw for one of the 26 revolutions of the engine per minute. 5! multiple. 138 revolutions of the screw per minute. 8 feet pitch of the screw. 1,104 .feet travelled per minute. 20 being lof 60, to bring it into 22,080 yards per hour. which, divided by 1,760 (the number of yards in a sta tute mile), gives us 12 miles 160 yards per hour as the speed of the screw. Speed of the vessel for 26 strokes per minute, 10 . 10-25 miles per hour by the log. As we remarked at the commencement, we must leave our readers to judge from the facts we have stated as to the general adoption of this mode of propulsion ; but there seems to be only one opinion as to its supe riority to that now in use amongst all the scientific and practical gentlemen with whom we have conversed. We feel assured that all who have witnessed tbe qua lifications of the Archimedes will testify that none of our statements are exaggerated. We can only add, in closing our remarks, an earnest hope that Mr. Smith's success may be commensurate with his talents, perse verance, and outlay of capital, and in the words of a gallant old Admiral, " May his screw be long, and long may he screw."

TRAFALGAR-SQUARE. Return of the Arrangements entered into between the Commissioners of Woods and Forests and the Com mittee for.erceting the Nelson Monument in Trafalgar.. square ; and also a Statement of the Ran approved and sanctioned by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests for laying out the Vacant Space in front of the National Gallery, whether it will be all or in part open to the Public. The Lords Commissioners of her Majeily's Treasury haying approved of the designs submitted te them for the Nelson Monument, and of the appropriation of a portion of Trafalgar-square as a site for the same, the Commi,s sioners of Woods, &c., were authorized by Treasury Letter, bearing date the 27th January, 1840, to deliver over such site to the Committee. The whole of the ar rangements between the Commissioners of Woods and the Committee for the erection of the Monument up to the present time have been limited to the delivery of the site. The plans submitted to the Commissioners of Woods. &c., in 1837, by the late Mr. Wilkins, contemplated an architectural appropriation of the square in accordance with, and intended to increase the effect of, the National Gailety. The Commissioners of Woods have adhered to the principle of the plan suggested to them by Mr. N 1 ;I kins ; but, in consequence of his death, and the subserir.cnt selection of the present design for the Nelson Monument, the Chief Commissioner of Woods, &c., has committed the laying out of the square to Mr. Barry. According to the plan which he has suggested (and which, as regards the excavation of the ground originally proposed by Mr. Wilkins, is now in progress) the whole of the space in front of the National Gallery, with the ex ception of the roadways forming its respective bounda ries, will be lowered, from south to north, to the level of the footway leading from Cockspur_street to the Strand. The roadway in front of the National Gallery, and con sequently the whole of that building, will, by this ar rangement, stand upon a terrace from eight to ten feet in elevation. The access to the square from this roadway will be by a terrace-lauding and flight of steps opposite to, and of the width of the portico of the building. The steps and the sustaining walls, by which it is intended, upon three sides, to inclose the square, will be of granite ; the posts with which it is intended to surround the square are also to be of granite, and connected with a bar of iron r as a protection to the respective roadways. The squareAscill be accessible on the north by the steps already mentioned, and on the south by openings to be left between the posts, in front of the Nelson Monument. The whole of the awe of the squire not occupied by that monument is to be either flagged with stone or laid down with asplalts% and will be open to and traversable by tie public e . r),..11 hours of the day.

DEFENCE OF COURVOISIER, It having been reported that during the course of the speech for the defence, on Saturday, Mr. C. Phillips had stated his belief that Courvoisier was innce-mt, we can distinctly state that such was not the fact. We were present the whole time, and from first to last Mr. C. Philips never made use of any expression. which would bear such a construction. CONDUCT OF COURVOISIER SINCE HIS CONVICTION. On being taken to the condemned cell on Saturday night, after the Jury had delivered their verctlet, the con. vict appeared sullen and reserved, and endeavoured to choke himself by cramming a towel down his throat, but his object was frustrated by th,t vigilance L, f the officer in whose charge he remained. Before Courvoisier's conviction a French clergyman visited him, and administered to his spiritual comfort, but since then the culprit has directed that his visits shou:d be discontinued, alleging that he has made up his mind, and is quite prepared to die. Yesterday it was understood he made a full confession of tie atrocious crime, of which he has been found guilty, to the Governor of Newgatc, and the statement has been reduced to writing and signed by the prisoner, but the authorities otject at present to its publication. In addi tion to what luis alrealy appeared the prisoner said he was dressed when he committed the deed ; that he turned up the sleeves of his coat before using the knife, and that all the movement which Lord William Russell made, upon the fatal wound being inflicted, was a slight trembling of the right hand. He laid; a napkin over the wound and then went down into the kitchen and cleaned the knife as has been stated. He did not return to see if his Lordship was dead, but went up stairs, and having taken off his coat threw himself upon his bed. In the course of yesterday and Sunday the criminal repeatedly expressed a wish that his fellow-servants might be exculpated from the slightest blame; and be declares that the whole of their statements against him were founded in truth. There is one remarkable fact connected with the trial of the prisOner ; and, if the mistake had not been cor rected, in all probability the ends of justice would have been defeated. The Lord Chief Justice, it appears, fixed. Wednesday as the day on which the prisoner was to be tried ; but his Lordship afterwards found that that was the last day of term, and, in consequence of the Judges being unable to attend, the trial was postponed until Thursday. Now, if this had not been the case, as one of the authorities observed to the reporter, the additional evidence of Madame Piolaine would not have been in time. The criminal has a father and mother living in Switzer land, and he has also a bister residing in Paris. No com munications have, it is said, passed between them since his confinement in Nessgate ; but, subsequent to his con viction, he has expressed a strong desire to see his uncle. who is in the service of Sir George Beaumont. Monday, the 6th of next month, is fixed fer the execution of Courvoisier ; and upon the same day the next sitting of the Criminal Court will commence. CATHOLIC LOYALTY. ALTON T0WER.5.......
