NEW. CONSERVATIVE NEWSPAPER.

THE BRITANIsIIA.
On SATURDAY, the 20th of April, will positively be
published, the First Number of the New Conservative Weekly
Newspaper, THE BRITANNIA.
The flag that's braved a thousand years,
The battle and the breeze."
The Britannia will be beautifully printed on fine clear paper,
will be nearly the size of the double " Times," and the price will
be only Fivepence. It will be conducted on sound constitutional
principles : and while opposing changes which are brought for-
ward merely for the sake of change, and would be unlikely to be
attended with any beneficial results, it will prove itself the faith-
ful advocate of all real improvement, the zealous supporter of all
schemes likely to advance the political and social well-being of
the community, and the uncompromising enemy of every abuse.
In addition to the usual Domestic, Foreign, anti Miscellaneous
latelligence common to a newspaper, which will be most care-
fully condensed, and arranged on an entirely new system, the
Britannia will contain Literary Contributions by imaginative au-
thors of the first eminence. The Proprietors are resolved to
spare no expense or exertion to render it superior to any Weekly
Newspaper ever yet published, both as regards the talent of its
original articles, and the variety and arrangement of its general
news. Town subscribers are respectfully requested to give their
orders to a newsman without delay ; and persons resident in the
country should either give their orders to the nearest agent or
send a letter direct to the Britannia Office, containing a reference
for the first quarter's payment.
Office, corner of Bride-lane, Fleet-street, where all adver-
tisements and communications (post paid), must be addressed.

TO ADVERTISERS.—From 'he large cir-
culation which has been already secured to the First
Numbers of the BRITANNIA, both in Town and Country,
and from its being eminently calculated to obtain an extensive
permanent sale amongst every doss of the community, it will
be found an exceedingly desirable medium for Advertisements
of every description.
The •scale of charges, as well as prospectuses of the Paper,
may be had on application at the Office, corner of Bride-lane,
Fleet-street, where all Advertisements and Communications,
post paid, must be addressed.

Mr. Wyld, of Charing-cross, has just published
an excellent sketch of the North-cast Boundary, in dis-
pute between Great Britain and the United States. The
district in question is of a triangular shape, and in extent
about 120 miles by SO. The boundaries claimed by Great
Britain and the United States, with the boundary awarded
by the King of Holland, are marked on the map. Mr.
Wyld deserves great credit for the rapidity and correctness
with which he publishes sketches of this description.
OLD-STREET-ROAD.—The Board of Trustees
of the parish of St. Luke's have given directions that the
extensive line of road called Old-street-road, shall be paved
with stone. The expense of the undertaking, it is said,
will exceed 7,0001. The paviors are already employed in
placing the pavement, which in many parts will be six feet
wide. When finished the alteration will prove a great
ornament to that part of the metropolis.

On Friday 7th December, a deputation from the
inhabitants of Graaff Reinet waited upon Mr. Lloyd, our

ants of Graaff Reinet, as a token of esteem, and in appro-
bation of his administration as Special Justice of that(its-
trict."—Graltam's Town Journal, Dec. 13, 1838.
