This Company is formed for Paving the Metropolis, and
e 4 .enty miles round. Specimens of the principle have been
7 down at Whitehall, Buckingham Palace, and Oxford-street,
ere 2,00 yards more are commenced. The principle is a
,fl
""C section of the cube. The Blocks are cut across the grain,
" an angle of 63 degrees 26 mir.-..`es 5 seconds and 8-10ths of a
~Zond, which causes the diagon. ijoining of the obtuse angles of
e two parallelopipedes to fall in a perpendicular straight line,
;lid], laid down obliquely, gives to a surface, perpetually, even,
' the strength of an arch.
The streets of London alone comprise 6,000,000 square
/1111 s and are kept in repair at an annual expense of 300,000/.
~,,
profits of the Company will be derived from the original
)trig down of the Pavement, each million of square yards
• 'Cing 150,0001. profit—and also from keeping their pave-
fret in repair, which on a moders.te calculation will amount
60,000/. per annum—at the same time effecting a saving of
"4
-half of the Paving-rates to the several parishes. The pre-
stet orders received by the Company amount to 30,0001. Ne-
Mations are pending for other works to a great extent.
,io.ltieetings have been held at Liverpool and Manchester, at
mich, after the principles of the Wood Pavement were ex-
Pia' h• ied, Resolutions were unanimously passed, approving of
scientific principle adopted by the Metropolitan Patent
0041 Pavement Company, and strongly recommending its ge-
neral use.
c APplication has since been made to the Inventor for permit-
:°4 to lay dowio a quarter of a mile in length at Manchester,
-4 the work win commence forthwith.

CASE OF THE LATE DAVID JONES
OF LL ANON.
About twis years since David Jones, who resided at Llanon,
▪ wales, was elected to the office of Churchwarden. When the
~Itrishioners worts called together for the purpose of making a
•,`..t,el, the majority of them viewing Church-rates as an odious
unjust impost, refused to grant a rate. Not succeeding in
;Oa., ming a rate, David Jones was unable to provide the Bread
4q Wine for the approaching Service, and was cast into gaol,
the suit of the Rev. Ebenezer Morris, in one of the Spiritual
`-•ourts, where he remained a prisoner seven months.
n. 131 a successful application on his behalf to the Court of
Nueen's Bench, an order was sent down to liberate him in
41tequence of some informality—which decision gave him the
willt of action against Mr. Morris for false imprisonment, of
Tell, however, he did not avail himself.
the Last February. although about 18 months had elapsed since
iforegoing proceedings took place, he was utterly astounded
e.! receiving an epplication from Mr. John Williams, a Proctor,
'r payment of abs-mt 40/. costs, in the suit against him in the
!40elesiastical Court, and shortly after, being informed of the
'preach of the officers to arrest him, he left his home, in a
14te of the greatest anguish and excitement of mind, and after
o silting a few miles across country, was taken dreadfully
1, and died in a short time !belle has left behind him a family
7a an aged and destitute widow, who have claims upon the
h:tends of Civil and Religious Liberty, which it is hoped will
beponaptly and cheerfully met.
