circular to the chiefs of the governments of Wi
Kowno, Grodno, Minsk, Rizebsk, and Mohilew
WILNA, Yuly 13. :
"The majority of the farms belon"ging to the Treasury
which are under the direction of the Department of State
Domains are leases to nobles and proprietors of Polish birth.
"Several of these, without considering the advantages
which attach to the possession ot Government property, have
taken an ac,ive part in the insurrection, and apply the
greater part ot their income which they derive from the pro-
perty leased to them to the support of the revolutionary
movement in the country.
"Considering that in order to restore peace and order it
is indispensable to deprive the ill-disposed of all means
which might enable them to continue their subversive acts,
I humbly request your Excellency to order all military chief 8
and sprawnik of districts confided to your administrations
to keep a strict watch on all managers of Treasury farms.
"In case any ot the managers, farmers, or administrators
should take part iu the insurrection by lumishin,g aims.
money, or supplies to the insurgent bands, by hiding insur-
gents from the local authorities and military detachments,
or by concealing their place of retreat, or should any 01
them take a personal part by exciting the peasants, making
enrolments, or propagating revolutionary proclamationsond
generally if their conduct is suspicious, and it they quit their
place of abode, the military chiefs, or sprawnik, upon re-
ceiving
information, will proceed against the guilty parties,
according io paragraphs 9 and 13 ot my instructions for the
organization of a civil and military administration. Atter
having removed them trona their place of abode, the mili-
tary chiefs and sprawniks are obliged, according to para-
graphs 14 and 19 ot the same instructions, to take imme-
diate possession of all produce and other property belonging
to the managers, to sell it, and depo.:4 the proceeds in the
Treasury ot the place.
"The authorities will, moreover, give notice to the State
Domain Department, in order that the latter may resume
possession of the- farms, and intrust them to more trust-
worthy managers.
" In urging your Excellency to see to the strict execu-
tion of this decision, I request you at the same time to
communicate it to the State Domain Department, in order
that it may execute that part which comes within its
province.

undeh,
Newgate-market, across Farringdon-street, under
Chancery -lane, Ltocoln'-inn-fieids. and Covent.
garden, and near Trafalgar-square, capable of ex-
tension towards the east to the Fencnurch-street
station of the Blackwell Railway, and towards the
west to the Marble Arch, Hyde-park. He proposes
to construct the railway with four lines, in order to
insure ample capacity, and the power so to divide flat
trains asto combine safety with the despatchot eight
or ten trains each way every hour of the working
day. He had so arranged the levels of the proposeu
railway as to avoid all the new main sewers, to deg.
with other sewers without injury to the drainage,
and to render it unnecessary to alter the level of
any street except Farringdon-street. terminal
stations of the proposed railway at Waibrook and
at the Circus, Oxford-street, and the intermediate
stations at Chancery-lane and at a point near Trs-
telgar-square for Piccadilly and Charing-cross,

corporation on certain conditions. The Court, on
the recommendation of the committee, accepted the
offer, and, on the motion of Mr. Cnarles Reed,
