One of the most improving and extensive FEE-SIMPLE ES TATES in the United Kingdom, containing 50,000 Acres, the greater part situate in the manufacturing district of the county. Nr R. W. W. SIMPSON has the honour to an -1 nounce that he has surveyed, by order of the Noble Pro. prietor, and intends to OFFER for SALE by AUCTION, at the Royal Hotel, in Belfast, The G ALGOR NI or GLENAHGERTY, the BRAID, and KELLS ESTATES, in the county of Antrim. A large portion of these estates is rich and very productive land, lying in the valleys of the River Main, and the Braid and Kells waters. The Galgorm Estate includes the fine mansion of Galgorm Castle, on which a considerable sum has been recently expended in valuable improve. ments. Attached to the castle is a demesne of about 150 acres of superior land, in hand. On the property, which embraces a great volume of water-power, there are many extensive bleach greens, beetling and corn mills, in the occupation of wealthy and respect able manufacturers ; and several of the tenantry are engaged in, or connected with, the various branches of the linen trade; the ma jority are Protestants, and, in the highly favoured province of Ulster, are remarkable for their industry and intelligence. The bogs attached to the estates are very valuable, and there are exten sive tracts of pasturable and easily reclaimed mountain lands, abundantly stocked with game. The property is in the immediate neighbourhood of Ballymena, and approaches within a quarter of a mile of this, the largest inland town in the county, and is only 20 miles distant from Belfast. The entire of the estates includes a surface of about 50,000 acres. The Belfast and Ballymena Rail way, the works of which are contracted for, passes through the pro perty, as will also two other railways in contemplation. Particulars are in preparation, and may, in due time, be ob. tabled of Messrs. J. W. Sherlock and Sons, 4, Beresford-place.

Mr. Simpson, while drawing the attention of capitalists to the above valuable estates, wishes to state that a third edition of his pamphlet has been published, on which the "Times" news paper made the following review :—" Mr. W. W. Simpson, the well known and deservedly respected auctioneer and land valuator, has recently published a pamphlet, entitled A Defence of the Land lords of Ireland, with Remarks on the Relation between Landlord and Tenant.' The' Dublin Evening Packet,' in reviewing this work, gives the following character of its author:—' Mr. Simpson, we scarcely need remind our readers, is an Englishman, •f vast ex. perience in matters relating to the improvement and value of land in his own country. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most com prehensive views, and possesses an understanding naturally strong, and a stock of practical knowledge and sterling sense which falls to the lot of very few persons in his 'own or any other rank of life. With the social condition of Ireland he has made it his business, almost as a matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly ac quainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed as much, either b interest kuit o Is partiality. perhaps, as any man in his t ime to improve her reso urces , by en couraging the investment of B ritish ca p ital in ev ery department of Irish industry. Such a witness as this we therefore hold to be beyond the r H ea i c s h tes of tim su o s u p suspicion, s Abe the score regarded m invalua ble, e unquestionably unimpeachable.'

GOLD, SILVER, DIAMONDS, PEARLS, and all the most precious and costly gems, are imitated to such perfection, that but very few uninitiated persons can positively tell a paste brooch or a ring from a diamond, the real pearl from the imitation, or German Silver from the genuine ; but put them into the hands of the connoisseur, how soon the delusion vanishes when he affirms they are but vile and base imitations. So it is with the most valuable inventions as well as stones and metals. None but the inimitable in value are imitated in appearance, and as soon as the consumer (the best connoisseur) attempts to use them, how soon he finds out their utter uselessness. Thus it is with the most valuable of all inventions ; the celebrated METALLIC RAZOR TABLET of GEORGE SAUNDERS has been the target for imitation for the last thirty years.

Sir JOHN RENNIE, President, in the chair. The paper was read by Mr. Fairbairn, of Manchester, "On the Defects in the Principle and Construction of Fireproof Buildings." It commenced by insisting strongly on the dangerous consequences of making use of cast iron beams of large span, without intermediate support, unless the dimension of the beams were very large, and pointing out the treacherous nature of a chrystalline metallic body, such as cast iron, when ap plied to support heavy weights in the construction of buildings. After some further remarks upon the importance of a thorough knowledge of the laws which govern the use and application of cast iron as a material for building under the various strains to which it may be subjected, the author proceeded to investigate the circumstances connected with the fail of Messrs. Gray's cotton-mill, at Manchester. This building was stated to be about 40 feet long and 31 feet 8 inches wide, and to consist of two stories in height, containing the boilers below and the machinery above, over which, instead of a root; was a water cistern, covering the whole extent of the building. The first floor was composed of large iron beams, of 31 feet 8 inches span, without intermediate support ; on these I beams brick arches were turned, sustaining the whole weight of the upper part of the building. The author then demonstrated that these large large beams were totally inadequate to support the weight of the superiacumbent mass. especially as the whole pressure was upon the centre of the beams, which were of a form ill calculated to bear the pres sure, added to which the wrought-iron trussing was so badly applied, that the breaking strain was arrived at before the trusarods were brought into a state of tension. The consequence of this was, that one of the lower beams broke in the centre under a less weight than it had previously supported, both under preliminary trial and when the cistern was fuller than at the time of the accident. The paper closed with some remarks on the delicate and invidious duty of reporting on such ac cidents as those in which the reputation of gentlemen of high professional acquirements may be involved, and the author expressed his reluctance in condemning the con.-_ struction of the building in question. In the discussion which ensued, it was argued, that if proper proportions of material had been observed, the accident ought not to have occurred. It appeared evident that the wrought iron trusarods bad been so put on, that they allowed more than the breaking strain of the cast iron to be arrived at before they came into operation. The instances of the trussed beam bridges, so extensively used by Mr. Stephenson and other engineers on railways, were quoted to show that by a judicious employment or wrought iron trusses upon cast iron beams, large spans might be crossed with safety; and even in some cases where, from unseen detects in the metal, a beam had fractured, the truss rods had sufficed to support the structure, and enabled the traffic to be continued across the bridge until the repairs could be effected. In all cases a strength of not less than four to one should be employed, and for such uses as the iron beams of pump ing engines, which were exposed to great vibration and sudden shocks, from the sudden influx of steam below the piston, or the accidental breaking of a pump rod. the proportions of seven or eight to one should be ob• served. The paper announced to be read at the meeting on Tuesday, April 27, was "On the Laws of Isochtonisni of the Balance Spring of Watches and Chronometers." by Mr. C. Frodsharo, ASSOC. Inst. C.E. MILITARY INTRLLIGENCR...—.CHATHAM, APRIL 29. —This morning three detachments from the provisional battalion assembled at 10 o'clock on the General Parade Ground, consisting of 88 men of the 51st King's Own Light Infantry, 82 men of the 84th, and 30 men of the 94th Regi ments, and were inspected by the Commandant of the Gar rison, Colonel James Simpson.

GRAND CELTIC BALL.-.--We are glad to learn that upwards of 4001. has been realised from this charitable effort, and that Lord John Russell has kindly undertaken its .distri bution amongst the mo s t necessitous in the Highland!' and islands of Scotland, to whom it has accordingly been trans mitted by Captain Lamont, honorary treasurer' `, THE NANIGA.TION The Select Conunittte appc.intxd by the Bona 6 Commons to inquire into the operation of the-Navigation Laws met on Thursday, in the Chnamittee-roona No. 2. There - :were present Mr..Milher Gibson, chairman. Hon. Mr. Liddell, Sir Ilowerd Douglas, Sir George'Ciark. Admiral Dundas, Mr. Bright, Ur. Lyall, and Sir Robert Peel. The first witness called to-day was Mr. George Hough ton, who, in the absence of Mr. Ricardo from lamp salon, was examined by the Chairman. He was a merchant trading with the Canary Islands, where he .bad an establishment. The principal exports nf;the Canary Isl an d s to England were wine and cochineal. There was formerly an export of b ar il la , b ut o f l a t e years it had almost altogether ceased. There was also a considerable tr a d e f rom these islands to America, the principal exports to th at country being wine and barilla. The Navigation Laws o f t hi s country interrupted the trade i n cochineal very m uc h i n d eed—excessively so. Up to a recent period the cochineal trade had not been of very great importance, but it Lad increased, till it was at present of very great extent. Last year they bad:ex ported from 1,:;00 to 2,000 sorons, winch weighed front 120 lbs. to 1:50 ibs. tech. The cochint-al wa , an insect that fed upon the cactus plant, and which, as the Com wittee was aware, impartsd a . very brilli a n t die. The trade of :he Canaries in this arttei., began seven or eight, but no ;night menti o n tha t as or perhaps ten, years ago; far back as tinny 3cars smce lie lossl .o been aTlXlvtll to in troduce the cultivation of the it.s..ct sth , e am, ries, but his efforts then were discouraged. The chief supply of cochineal to England was from lionaattits. In scons!- qusnee of the cessation of the barilla traoss between this country and the Canary Isterms there K sr" scarcely any English vessels now arrivitsr there to return direct home, in consequence of which the cochineal was shipped first to Cadiz, from whence it was takeirtsl-.M.ar seilles. Latterly the witness had endeavour , to tsrmg some of it to England from Cadiz, but it was seized in consequence of this being in contravention of that pro vision in the Navigation Laws which piuvided that the produce of Asia, Africa, and America, could not be brought from any port in EuroTE to this country in any ship whatever. He made many representations to the Board of Trad e res p ect i ng t h e i n j ur i ous nature o f this regulation, but it was all in vain; he was not allowed to bring it from Cadiz to this country, except in bond, for purposes of re-exportati on . I n h is representat i ons an d memorials to the Board o f T ra d e h e urge d upon t h e i r consideration the tact that virtually the Callers Islands were a port of Spain, and that the trade between them and Cadiz was as much in the nature of a coasting trade as was the trade between this country and Ireland; bat his representations had no effect, the rigid nature of the expressions in the law were- too strong for him. The increased importation of cochineal into France bad led to a greatly increased trade between France and the Canary Islands. With regard to the barilla trade with America, the American Navigation Laws prevented the barilla from being carried to the United States; and the witness had therefore been compelled to have Swedish, Russian, Prussian, American, and one or two Sardinian vessels to export barilla to New York; and, as a neces sary consequence of this exportation of barilla, the trade of America with the Canary Islands had very much increased. The Chairman—Bet are not the American Navigation Laws the same a 6 our own? Mr. lioughton—As nearly as possible. The Chairman—Tien how are the ships you mention permitted to enter the American ports with goods not the produce of their own countries ? _ _ _ Mr. Houghton, in answer to this, handed in a copy of the American tariff, from which it appeared that ships of the nations he specified had the privilege, by treaty, of entering the American ports as free as Ame rican ships themselves. Examination continued There was still a good deal of cochineal imported into England. The duties that were levied by Spain on goods brought-into the Canary Islands by English vessels were very heavy. The consequence of which was that scarcely any English vessels now went there ; while, on the other hand, cochineal, though a valuable cargo, yet went into so small a compass that it was not worth the while of a Spanish ship to come here with it; and this raised the freight very much, which averaged from 555. to 60s. per ton. When it was brought direct to this country it was brought by those Spanish vessels that arrived here to go back with a cargo of English goods. He was aware that there had been an exclusive privilege granted to the importation of cochineal about tw. toy )ears ago, when the trade was very small; but teat was altogether with drawn now. He had never received any relief from the Treasury, though he had often tried hard for it. This year he had been a sufferer from these restrictions to a very great extent. He held 300 or 400 bags of that article, which he could only sell for what it would fetch; and, perhaps, the Committee would allow him to add that the Canary Island article was very superior indeed. Sir G. Clerk—What is the proportion of the whole amount 01 cochineal imported into this country that is re-exported? Mr. Houghton—Oh, a considerable proportion; per haps to the extent of one-half. Sir G. Clerk--then, how are you injured by being obliged to reexport yours? Mr. Houghton—Why, as you know, there are secrets in all trades, and I can only say that the restrictions make a difference to me of from 4d. to 6d. per lb. Mr. Liddell —But it seems to me that the inconve niences of which you complain arise from the anomalous position of the Canary blends, that geographically they are in Africa, while politically they are in Spain? Mr. Boughton—Yes. Admiral Dundas—Do the duties imposed by Spain on goods brought in British bottoms interfere with your trade? 31r. Houghton—Yes, to a considerable extent. Admiral Dundas— What is the amount of those duties? Mr. Houghton—The duties on British manufactures t _ . when brought in B r iti s h sess‘ l s , amount t o 25 pes.cilr - Admiral Dundas—And what are the duties • same gool!s when brought in Spanish vessels? Mr. Houghton-12i per cent. Admiral Dundes—Thin how do the English ships go that export the wine? Mr. Houghton—They go there chiefly in ballast. Mr. Boughton—Then, if you had the power of bring ing your cochineal from Cadiz to England in an English ship— Mr. Houghton—That is all we want. Admiral Dundas—How much cochineal may there be produced in the whole of the Canary Islands ? Mr. Houghton—oh, not much, as it goes into such a small compass ; the whole produce would not load one ship in the course of the year. Admiral Dundas—Could you not send a ship for cochineal and fill up the rest with wine ? Mr. Houghton expressed his dissent. Admiral Dundas—l don't think you have much reason to complain. Mr. Houghton—Ab, that is because you do not stand •in my shoes. Admiral Dundas—You have good shoes, I think. By the Chairman —The trade between Cadiz and Marseilles had very much increased in consequence of this trade in cochineal. The French had given the trade every encouragement; they had not th' same restrictions as the Navigation Laws of Engl...l,4u posed, for they allowed the cochineal to be imported from Cadiz to Marseilles in French vessels, as they had Wel,- reduced the duties upon the article. Cochineal was con sidered an article of first-rate importance in the French manufactures ; it stood next in importance to indigo. He considered that the allowil g the importation of cochineal into France and restricting its importation into England tended to give a direct encouragement to French manufactures in preference to our own. Sir G. Clerk—But how can that be when we already import double what we consume, and the halt of 35 311 re-exported again ? Mr. Houghton—lt is a fact for all that. A* I said before, thereaare secrets in all trades, and I may add, that very little of the cochineal imported from o uter pla ehcwesarisroeu-sshes of the importers, ippoddirectlya whilst our broad.ltisfirat oo t h it e , l T the , imported from the Canary Islands is not permitted to come to our warehouses, but re exported' directly from the bond. _ Sir G. Clerk (laughing)—Oh, now I understand. By the Chairman.-If that part of the Navigation Laws were repealed which prohibits the produce of Asia, Africa, and America being brought to this country by any ship, the profits of the English shipowner would be much increased. Ile' had been a nurchant for many years, and that was the conclusion he had come to after much experience in the trade and deep reflection. Sir Howard Douglas—What are the duties levied in this country upon the Canary wines? Mr. Houghton—They are very heavy duties--800 per cknt.—and the consequence is, that the wines are not brought to England, but are sent to the East and West Mr. Liddell—What would be the consequence if these duties were lowered ? Mr. Houghton—That would increase the demand of our manufacturers, and would multiply the happiness of the human race. Mr. Liddell—And also, I suppose, enable you to im port your cochineal direc t ?—(A lau g h). Mr. Sir g a o doubt sT he of it. n the inco nven i ence of which you complain might be remedied with ou t any Houghton—No o o y a h r t d o - O N u alteration of the Navigations Laws ? Mr. Houghton—Certainly. M M r r ll ßright—Arc ought °u y I o h u a a v es hbeen w n to er a ? great extent, and also A d a m n i o r w a ine D r uonfdSa_v Spanish ct ish,ships. you prefer E ng li s h to foreign ves se l s f or the shipment o f f your goods.? M and v, r. ,0 r u l l o d ug p h r t e o fe n r — a Y n es i n l g a li ni sh a to a foreign v e ssel a t an y thorough Englishman, time, even though there was a difference of freight. Admiral Dundas—Then you do not think_English sailors worse than others? _ Mr. Houghton--They are better than they were. They are particularly improved in the article of sobriety. Admiral Dundas—Have you heard any complaints of their general conduct? 6lr. Houghton—l have seen them in a French prison, and a very wild, reckless set they were. Admiral Dundas—ln a French prison—yes, but did you ever see them afloat? Mr. Houghton—Yes, I have ; and I have witnessed & good deal of impropriety and want of talent on board. Admiral Dundas—Then you would approve of a plan for examining masters and mates ? Mr. Houghton—l highly approve of such a plan, it I think a compulsory plan would not be practicable; and I am aware that the Americans, who have some very good captains, do not practise it, By the Chairman—He considered that the restrictions imposed on the importation of cochineal amounted in fact to a tax levied upon the use of that article to the amount of front 4d. to 6,1. per lb. There being no other witness , s present, the Coati mittee adjourned till Tuesday next, at cne o'clock. LEEDS, APRIL 30.

FALMOUTH, APRIL 28.—The weather here for the last two days has been extremely boisterous, at times chilly, cold, and otherwise unseasonable. Yesterday it blew a com plete gale at west, with occasional showers; and to-day it has veered to south-west , sti ll blowing a smart gale, with lit tle or no rain ; sunshine more frequent. This morning has put in, from:stress of weather, the French frigate Bayonnaise, of 28 guns, Captain De la Graviere, from Cherbourg; and outside the port has anchored her Majesty's frigate Thetis, Captain Codringion, from Portsmouth. Both these vessels are bound to Lisbon , and h ave found it impracticable to get out of the Channel. They worked down from the Dodman this morning together; but a marked difference was observ able in their qualities, favourable to the latter ship, whi c h , it must be admitted, however, is of larger tonnag e . S ome grain vessels are again arriving from the southward, and many are expected. DEATH OF HUSSEIN BEY.—Prince Hussein Bev, one of the youngest sons of Mehemet Ali, died on Tuesday evenirg in Paris.
