On Sunday se'nnight the news of the Leith Dock Bill

pressed by the whole of itwinhabitants. The ships in the
harbour and docks had all their flags and streamers flying,
and in the evcnitig the streets were illuminated with bon-
fires. Several meetings have also been held to express the
public satisfaction, at which the town Magistrates have
presided.
FINE Woot..—When it is considered that twenty-two
million pounds of wool were imported into this country
during the last year, any efforts to increase in our own do-
minions the quantity, and more especially the quality, of
so important a supply for our principal manufacture, must
be received with interest, and no part of the British posses-
sions afford at this time so much expectation as our settle-
ments in Australia. It is acknowledged the best Merino
wools they have already furnished are superior to the
formerly unrivalled Spanish fleeces; and two hundred
young Saxon sheep, procured from the purest flocks in the
Electorate, have just been landed from a Hamburgh vessel,
for ultimate transmission to New South Wales, by a
Treasury permission, granted to Mr. Riley, many years a
resident in the territory. It is calculated they will coat 20!.
per head when disembarked at Port Jackson. Two vessels
are also on the point of sailing for the Colony, fully
freighted by the Australian Agricultural Company, with
chosen sheep, collected from the most distinguished holders
on the Continent, and with a desirable selection of our best
breeds of horned cattle and blood horses. Much difficulty
has attended procuring the sheep, the better-informed
German flock masters being disinclined to place in our
hands the means of competing with them in our market;
but if the valuable animals arrive in the favoured climate
to which they are destined, the extensive results tnay be
anticipated in reflecting, that the present fine wool flocks
in New South Wales were originated by Mr. Macarthur's
attention to, we believe, less than a dozen Spanish sheep,
as accidentally as fortunately for the interests of thc cou n try,
obtained at the Cape of Good Hope after the surrender of
that settlement to the British forces.
RICHMAN'S 15YROFOGE, OR COMPLETE AND CERTAIN
FIRE EScAPL—F. Richman respectfully begs lease to inform his
friends and tile public in general, that he has invented, and obtained
his Majesty's Letters Patent for, • Fire Escape Machine, the only
one ever yet Invented to effect a safe, ready, and complete escape
from a house when on fire, without the aid of persons from the
street, with other machines. lathier., &e. which seldom arrive In
time. The instantaneous and magical production of this machine
can only be properly understood by being seen, as a child may pro- 1
duce an escape for the whole family in an instant. The apparatus
may he seen daily, from eleven to four, at the house of the patentee,
36, Cheat Pulteney.street, Bolden-square. Whoever will take the
trouble to inspect the above machine will confess that it is complete
in every respect s will henceforward no person need apprehend
danger from fire pherfeer it is erected.
