THE PIER AT DOVER.

Among the many works which it was the inten-
tion of the late Earl of Liverpool to have promoted,
Whereby the country might have been benefited,
there was one which (if his valuable life had been
for a few years prolonged) might have remained for
ages a monument to his great and patriotic mind.
The Noble Eall, froth the nature of his office, as
Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, was often led to
contemplate the state of our coast on the Kentish
side, and it was not without great concern that he
viewed the inroads of the sea in various parts ; but
that which attracted his notice, and of which we
were about to speak, was the pier at Dover; it was
his intention to have procured an Act for removing
the present miserable structure, and to have erected
°,312' its site a pier somewhat more worthy of a place
Jsuchimportance and traffic. The pier was to have
been built with Deeble's metallic caissons, and an
esplanade of the same materials would have been
'44 at the base of the cliffs. The late falling in of
a Portion of those noble cliffs, reminds us that the
art of man must be speedily resorted to, or those
fine fortresses, the work of many years, must bow
(0 .the reckless wave.

Arno
, ng the various and singularly-interesting contents of
the Court Journal of this day will be found a second
1351)er of considerabla length, containing the details of a
visit to Lord BTROS in Italy and written by a Lady. It
Will include the history of the famous skull drinking cup,
and the order of the skull that was founded thereon ;
also an account of the young ledy (Miss G.) who acted as
page to Lord 13vaox for many months, with her extraor-
dinary death, &c. The same number will also comprise
the continuation of an article (from a high quarter) enti-
tled, " A Dream of Fashionable Life."

DOVER, APRIL 16.—Lady COWLEY and
fsmily, accompanied by the Hon. and Rev. GERARD
WIILLEsLF,Y, embarked yesterday for Calais, on their road
to Vienna. Among the arrivals at this season of the year,
thou of the German broom-girls, and Italian minstrels
444 Plasterers, are very numerous,-466 of the former,
and 114 of the latter, having landed since the Ist of Ja-
t4srY ; and the fashionable season for these wanderers
b"i"g only just commenced, it may be presumed that
f n"ing it England is a good speculation, judging merely
rn tbelniint of the emigration of this kind every year.
ERIGH/ON APRIL 16.—That monument
a• _
;agrace to the town of Brighton, the blacksmith's shop
r t d
he entrance to the Pavilion, is at length about to beem oved by the. Commissioners. The High Sheriff of the
"funty of Sussex held a Court this day fur the purpose
assessing the value of the property, which has been es-
, mated at 2.2001. The property on the site of the en-
oat
nye, which is to be formed from East-street to the New
ark
et and Town-hall, has also:been valued. 'f he im-
Povennents in that neighbourhood have already corn-
s/tenets'
-Various as the reports have been with regard
to Roaster, who is now under sentence of death for the
Murder of Joasr TUILNEU, certainly no confession has
escaped him up to this period : he still persists in his inno-
cence. The circumstance of his having asked the ques-
tion relative to the salvation of a murderer hereafter, be
states originated from a discussion on two sermons which
Were preached on the Sunday subsequently to the murder ;
t,c of which affirmed that no murderer could be saved,
While the other enforced that there was hope, even unto
the eleventh hour, for one who sincerely repented. The
strongest evidence against him appears to be that of the
set'faut, who stated that a fire was seen in his house the
Whole night. This he positively asserts to be false. He
sayss Where he has nothing to confess there can he no need
tt a confesaion, and that the whole is a collusion against
u"--Slierborka Mercury.
h °n Thursday night the wife of Mr. ELLis,
at'lnatm.acturer in White-street, Borough, swallowed a
100%711,,tYi.,°: laudanum,' under the effects of which she is
onlyufsr at Guy's hospital. She is a young woman
20 years of age; her husband, too, is young; and
they have been married 15 months, during which time
7.nsitierable hickerings existed between them, arising out
'wit* Wife's jealousy. On Wednesday Mr. Eems went
Ito some frien.le to Greenwich ; and, the evening turn-
fing out as-et he was detained ; which circumstance, un-
timately to the already excited mind of his wife, was
Prof lieu' as holy writ, and was the immediate cause
of that act, the fatal effects of which, however, Mr.
7tall, we trust, returned in time on Thursday to avert,
eloet
no time iu applying the proper remedies.
