QUICK PASSAGE.—We have just seen a letter re-
ceived by a gentleman in town, from Bhaugulpore, three hun-
dred miles up the Ganges, acknowledging the receipt, on the
3d September, of a packet despatched from this place on the
29th of June. It must therefore have gone in the short space
of sixty-six days 1 We understand that three months is con-
sidered a fair passage.—Scolsman.

The wing of -St. James's Palace overlooking the
stable-yard, lately tenanted by the late Lady Barnard, is
undergoing a course of repair and improvement. The wing
of St. James's Palace, known by the name of the Queen's
house, and at present occupied by some of the establishment
of the Queen Dowager, will, it is said, be ultimately assigned
as a residence for her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta,
whose present apartments will, it is expected, be pulled down.
The Lord Lieutenant visited the Dublin theatre in
State on Thursday evening last, when the house was crowded
to excess in every part. So great indeed was the anxiety to
gain admission, that hundreds who could not procure scats
were admitted behind the scenes. Mr. Kean performed Sir
Edward Mortimer, in the Iron Chest, on this occasion, and
on the following day had the honour of dining at the Castle.
During this gentleman's engagement the theatre has been
nightly thronged, and an interest excited unknown since his
father's day.
The Observateur of Brussels announces the death
in that city of Lord Nairne, a Baron of Scotland, and states
that his funeral took place on Wednesday, being attended by
several persons of distinction.
PRESERVATION OF JETHER, &C.—We perceive
by an advertisement, in another part of our paper, that Messrs.
Mordan have succeeded in making such an improvement in
glass stopperitig, that rather and other volatile liquids can be pre-
served without the inconvenience of double stoppering, and in
greater strength.
PATENT MOULD-CANDLE MACHINE.— Mr.
Morgan's patent machine for making mould-candles, in use
at Mr. Tebbutt's, Deansgate, Manchester, is most ingeniously
contrived to simplify the various processes, and to bring each
its succession under the hand of the workman with the least
possible delay. This is effected by a series of connected rail-
ways which present the frames of moulds iii regular succession,
while other contrivances facilitate the cottoning, the fins..' of
the moulds, and the discharge of the finished candles. We
understand that by this improved process, One man. can do more
work than three could do under the old process, and it appears to
us that the candles are superior it, neatness and finish. Till we
saw this machine we were not aware of the possibility of effect-
ing so good n'change in a process which seemed to be almost
incapable of further improvement—Manchester Times.
