NEW COELEOS AT BRUSSEES.—The Philosophical
College at Brussels is expected to open on the thinl Moir
day in October. It appears that the Governtnent spare
neither care nor expense that every thing in this establish-
ment may be answerable to its important destination. It
will be entirely lighted with gas. An immense hall, or'
leeture-roem, in the shape of an amphitheatre, and ca-
pable of containing 1200 persons, is nearly finished. Each
pupil will have his room in the College, which he will find
completely furnished at the expense of the Government.
All the courses of lectures are gratuitous: the expense of
board is only 200 florins; and stipends will be granted to
pupils who are not able to pay so moderate a sum.
STEAM-BOATS AND ENDINES.—We last week inserted
a paragraph from the Newry Paper, which stated that the
number of steam-vessels now building in Liverpool was 44,
from 230 to 500 tons ; and further, that no engineer MI
execute any orders before the end of 1827. We believe
that the number of steam-vessels now building in Liver-
pool does not exceed 14 ; and we can state, with confidence,
that orders for marine engines may be executed by some of
the engineers at Liverpool, for delivery in April next.
A public meeting of the resident clergy and provincial
inhabitants took place at the Guildhall in Beverley, on
Monday the Sib instant, to consider the propriety of esta-
blishing Church of England Sunday Schools in that town.
The Worshipful the Mayor took the chair; the Rev. Mr.
Gilby, Vicar of St. Mary I, proposed a string of resolutions,
acknowledging the necessity of the establishment of Sabbath
Schools for the education of the children of the poor in
the principles of the established Church, which were una-
nimously adopted. One of the resolutions proposes (should
the funds be sufficient) the establishment of Parochial
Lending Libraries in each of the parishes in that town, a
circumstance which cannot be hailed but with delight by
ever) sincere friend to the education of the poor. A li-
beral subscription.

On Thursday the Bth came on to be tried before the
steward of the Idarmoot Court at Ashford, in the Peak,
and a most respectable special jury of miners, a mineral
cause which had excited great interest in the neighbour-
hood, wherein the proprietors of a mine called Magpie,
were plaintiffs, and a company designating themselves the
proprietors of a mine called Maypitta, were defendants.
The question at issue was whether twelve meers of ground,
containing twenty-nine yards to the meer, in a rich vein
called Bole Vein, within the manor and liberty
of Ashford,
belonged to the plaintiff's or the defendants ; and it ap-
peared in evidence that the plaintiffs had at a very consider-
able expense sunk a new engine shaft on the Bole Vein, and
erected a building for a fire-engine, and expended nearly
one thousand pounds to unwater the mine, when the de-
fendants, who had witnessed the progress of the proceed-
ings, laid claim to the vein upon which The engine was
erecting and the shaft actually sunk, and attempted to
make claim through a person of the name of John Naylor,
who it turned out in the investigation of the cause had
worked as a miner for the plaintiffs in this same vein for
nearly five years. The plaintiff made out a clear and sa-
tisfactory title by documentary evidence, which was at-
tempted to be answered by parole evidence by the defend-
ants, and after eight hours' investigation the jury retired
and brought in their verdict for the twelve meers of ground
for the plaintiffs. The Counsel for the plaintiff's were Mr.
Denman, Mr. John Balm • and for the defendants Mr.
Clarke, King's Counsel. The Solicitors who conducted the
cause for the plaintiffs were Mes A-s. Brittlabank and San,
of Oddo, and fer the defendatts Messrs. Bradley and Mac- I
outen, of Bakewell.
