gentleman who has been induced to expend so large an
amount of money as 3,0001. or 4,0001., which it will ulti-
mately cost, for a place wherein to dwell. The centre of
the building consists of two specious rooms—a dining and
drawing-room, 22 feet by 16; the right wing of two bed
rooms 16 feet by 14, a dressing-room 12 feet square, and a
library 16 feet square; and the left wing of a bed-room
16 feet by 14, a dressing-room 12 feet square, nursery
16 feet by 12, and two bedrooms in connexion with the
nursery 16 feet by 8, with pantries in the angl,,e. The whole

nected by a spacious corridor 50 feet by 6, in the centre of
which is to be fixed a handsome illuminated clock. The
walls are composed of frame-work, covered with boarding
on both sides, and dry sand is intended to he used to regu-
late the temperature. There will be French windows to
the whole of the rooms, Venetian shutters to the principal
windows ; and in the centre there will be an arcade. The
building will be covered with zinc. The extent of ground
which it now covers is 88 feet by 60. About three months
have elapsed sines it was commenced, but it is now nearly
completed, and will, we understand, be shipped in the
Jenny (freighted for that special purpose) about the end of
the present month. Carpets and similar articles will also
be taken out.—Earters Counties Herald.
NEW PASSENGERS ACT.—On the 20th ult. an
act was passed to amend the Passengers Act of 1852, so far
as relates to the passages of natives of Asia or Africa, and
also passages between the Wand of Ceylon and certain parts
of the East Indies. By the Passengers Act it is provided
that no ship shall convey a greater number of passengers
than after the rats of one passenger :to every 15 superficial
feet of the passenger deck, if such ship be intended to pass
within the tropics. The object of this act is to alter the
provision referred to with regard to the natives of Asia Or
Africa. The governors of Her Majesty's possessions abroad
are empowered to alter the rate for the coravi yam* of
such passengers. The act exempts from the operation of
the Passengers Act, vessels carrying passengers between
Ceylon and certain parts of the East Indies.
