is worked at a trifling cast, conveyed on a tram road (formed by the
late proprietor at a vast expense), and shipped from a wharf to
the neighbouring ports, where it is In great demand. As a fishing
station, also, the estate affords every facility for the capture of
large quantities of salmon, sewin, cod, soles, &c , a certain source
of income hitherto undeveloped. The farms are let to yearly
tenants, at low rents, and the annual value of the estate approaches

4,000 d.

THE LATE WILLIAM COI3BETT, M.P., in
his Register for Juno, 1832, there depicted the sufferings he
had endured for 22 years, from the want of a perfect TRUSS ; and,
having obta lied one from Mr. COLES, was instrumental in inAutng
thousands of persons of rank and fortune to apply to him for relief—
whose patent has baffled every attempt to improve them for 27
years past.
*** " COLES'S rATENT, 3, CHARING-CROSS," is marked
upon all his Trusses.

COLONEL FItANCKLIN informs those who
have ruptures, that he has been wearing TRUSSES 30 years,
and he never met with but one individual who was master of the
complaint. Ile has likewise an elder brother, a Colonel in the Hon.
East India Company's Service, who has worn a similar kind of truss
for many years, who can say the same. Mr. COLES, of CHARING-
CROSS, is the individual alluded to.
Blackheath Vale, July 16, 1832.
*s* The Colonel was likewise cured of Rheumatism by Mr. Coles's
MEDICATED GALVANIC BANDS, and gave hint an excellent
testimonial to that effect.

THE SOCTR DBMS LINE.-ATMOSPHERIC TRAC.-
nox.—During the last few days various trials have been
made on the South Devon line, to test the capabilities of the
atmospheric mode of traction, and in every instance the
result has been most satisfactory. These experiments
have aroused much curiosity—indeed, the " Atmospheric"
presents rather a novel appearance; and in the minds of
many who have been unable to think of a train unless
accompanied by a locomotive engine, with the curling
mass of steam and smoke marking its progress, it has excited
no little wonder and surprise. To the spectator it seems to
glide on without any apparent motive power; and the speed
to which it attains is already very considerable, more than
a mile having been done, in some instances, in one minute.
It must be recollected, however, that these experi-
ments are now only preparatory, and no criterion as
to what will be achieved when the extensive ma-
chinery is brought into good working condition. It is
generally thought by scientific men that when the Atmo-
spheric is carried below Newton (where it is understood the
pipes will be larger) a speed will be obtained, averaging
eighty miles per hour. The determined perseverance of the
board of directors merits approbation for thus endeavouring

to carry out, in spite of every difficulty, a system which in
truth seems at present to comprehend what the public re-
quires—a mode of travelling which combines economy with
♦elocity and safety.—Devonport Independent.
REMOVAL OF THE WOOD PAVEMENT IN THE CITY.

—At the meeting of the Commissioners of Sewers yesterday,
a motion was made that the whole of the wood pavement at
present extending from Bow Church, Cheapside, to the
Poultry, should be forthwith removed, and that the con-
tractor, Mr. Chadwick, be instructed to lay down imme-
diately the new three-inch granite pavement. The resolu-
tion was unanimously agreed to, and orders were given to
the men to commence taking up the present wood pavement
to-day.
THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH TERMINI.—At . a
_

meeting of the Commissioners of Sewers, held on Tuesday, the
secretary of the Electric Telegraph Company applied for
permission to lay down the wires of communication through
the City, from the various electric telegraphs, to unite in one
centre in Lothbury. The secretary said that the Company
intended to bring the electric telegraph into the City by the
way of London-bridge, King William• street, and Princes-
street, into Lothbury, where the terminus of the Company
would be, and from thence they intend to proceed along
Moorgate-street into Finsbury. The object of the Company
was to bring the electric line of the South-Western and
Dover Railways by the above line into the City; and from
the terminus at Lothbury to unite them with the Eastern
Counties, the London and Birmingham, and the Great
western lines, so as to form one general communication with
the different railways throughout the kingdom. The Com-
pany proposed to lay down the pipes alongside of the kerb,
and in a line with the gas pipes, so as to prevent any nuisance
or stoppage arising to the traffic, or annoyance to the foot
er The question that the Company he empowered
pastolsgs;
lay the wires of the electric telegraph was carried
unanimously.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.
On Tuesday a Court was held for the dispatch of public
business.
The Loan MAYOR laid before the Court the opinion de-
livered by Mr. Wilde, of the Bar, on the question of the pri-
vileges of the Court of Aldermen, and the resolution to which
that Court had come—that :et committee of the Aldermen
would readily meet a deputation from the Court of Com.
mon Council on the subject%,.." (Hear, hear.)
The Recorder was abode to read the opinion of the
Learned Gentleman to wheim the case had been referred,
when
Mr. WIRE rose to object to such a course as calculated to
prejudice the Court of Common Council. The case ought,
in all fairness, to accompany their opinion.—( Hear, hear.)
Alderman Witsox said the case certainly ought not to be
made public, but both case and opinion should be submitted
to a select committee. The pUblication of both might pre-
judice the whole Corporation. •
Mr. Asituttst said his reason for objecting to the reading
of the opinion was, that he suspected the case had not been
fully and fairly stated, and therefore the opinion could not
operate as a guide or an index to public opinion.—(Hears)
Mr. BINNOCH did not see what Injury could result from a
candid statement of facts, and wished that case and opinion
should be read at once:
It was intimated that there was no mention of the casein
the communications made from the other Court.
Mr. WIRE—I have no doubt the case was drawn up in such
a manner as to render the opinion of no value whatever to
the Corporation.—CA laugh.)
Alderman WILSON thought it rather extraordinary that a
member who conl4,not have seen the case should at once
decide upon its defects.
Doctor Lvercir asked why the e should be any mystery
about the business. Why were ecst the case and the opinion
at once laid before the Court? V.!eat impression was such
mystery calculated to make upon the public.—(Hear, hear.)
The opinion certainly ought not to be read without the case
and if both were read the Court would be able to decide be-
tween the different opinions entertained by Mr. Wire and
Alderman Wilson.
Some members suggested that the case and opinion should
be read within closed doors, but that suggestion waa gene-
rally condemned, and the Court resolved to refer the opinion
and question as to holding a conference with the committee
of Aldermen to a committee of the whole Court.
The RECORDER requested to be allowed to represent in a
few words, the position in which he stood with respect to
the privileges of the corporation. He had received
from the City so;icitor a copy of the questions sub-
mitted by the committee of the whole Court for
counsel's opinion. These questions appeared to him to
involve matters of paramount importance connected with
the ancient municipal constitution of the city of London,
and were so comprehensive and at the same time so
vague, that to give an opinion upon them without a case,
would be a matter of insuperable difficulty. To send such
questions to a professional gentleman, without accompany-
ing them with a case, was without a precedent in the history
of legal practice. The Court might as well require from them
a statement of all that had occurred from the days of Richard
the First, to the days of Victoria the First.—(Hear, hear.)
He seriously advised the Court, that it would not be for
the interest of the Court, that he who occasionally sat
as a City Judge should be called upon to define any matter of
the kind, and he certainly considered that opinions given
upon such loose interrogations, would not be worth a single
farthing.
Mr. WIRE immediately moved that the Recorder be ex-
proposed by the
cured from giving answers to the questions
Court.
Mr. Asnunsr thought the Recorder's object was to choke
off the other officers.
The RECORDER said the questions had been propounded by
the City Solicitor, his inferior officer.
"
Several Members—(" No, by the Court.)
Mr. ASHURST admitted that the questions had been drawn
up by the City Solicitor, but that Learned Gentleman had
exercised no other authority in performing that duty than
he would have exercised in making the draft of a Bill.—
(llear, hear.)
The RECORDER denied that it was by any means profes-
sional to lay questions before a barrister without a case, and
said, that however such a practice might entangle the Cor-
poration, it certainly was not calculated to clear up any
any doubt or remove any difficulties.
Mr. T.ll. HALL did not think the Recorder was justified
in declining to answer questions which the Corporation found
were necessary to be solved preparatory to the great measdaure
of Reform. The Learned Gentleman, by such refusal -
maged the cause of his clients, who had put the points in a
manner best calculated, in their opinion,to suit the necessity
of the case.—(llear, hear.)
The motion that the Recorder be excused from giving an-
swers to the question was then agreed to.
The Town CLERK wished to address a few words to the
Court on the same subject. The strong feeling which he
entertained on the subject was, he assured the Court, not
the feeling of that day. It existed from the moment the
questions tied been put into his hands. Possessed, as he
was, of all the means of information in the matters pro-
pounded, he knew the extreme danger of answering such
questions; and it was solely by his anxiety for the welfare
of the Corporation he was induced to say that he could not
conscientiously enter upon so perillous a task.—(Hear, hear.)
If the Court required him to answer, he would, of course,
comply ; but he begged that they would not call upon him,
or any other officer, to do that which he was convinced
would be attended with mischievous consequences. At
all events, he trusted that, if they persevered in calling
for the opinions of the officers, they would call for their
conjoint opinions.—(bear, hear, and cries of " No, no.")
Nothing, he submitted, could result from the expression of
different opinions but confusion, supposing that a difference
of opinion existed; and there would be no such thing as see-
ing to the end of the vista of discordant impediments which
would necessarily obtrude themselves. He submitted, feo,
that there was no precedent fur including the Town-clerk in
the list of those who were engaged as the legal advisers of
the Corporation.—(Hear.)
Alderman Huateitsity moved that the Tow n-clerk be ex-
cused from answering the questions.
Mr. KING seconded the motion.
Mr. L. TAYLOR said lie was decidedly of opinion that any
officer who was not competent to answer the questions pro-
pounded was no longer fit to fill the office lie held.
Mr. Asnortsr said the Court had set a bad example in
excusing the Recorder.—( Hear, hear.) Ile altogether dis-
approved of the project of obtaining the conjoint opinion ion of
the officers. The Court wished to see a Ilnal terminat to
the mystery in which those privileges were involved, and
they lied now the opportunity of getting at the truth by
availing themselves of the separate opinions of those who
ought to be best acquainted with their municipal constitu-
tion.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") It was the rule in
consultations for the senior to lead all the juniors. Ile did
not wish for the adoption of a point of courtesy on the im-
portant matter in which they were engaged. He wanted se-
parate independent opinions, together with the reasons for
entertaining those opinions.--(Hear, hear.)
Mr. Cora was persuaded that the officers w
suc oulda
q bueste juion,
sti-
fied in refusing to give their opinion upon h
and expressed much surprise that any one of them could be
found involving his brother officers in such embarrassments.
—(Murmurs of dissent.)
Mr. W. JoNEs; said the Court ought certsinly to have the
opinion of the Town Clerk, and represented that it would be
extremely injudicious to excuse that Learned Gentleman.
Mr. R. TAYLOR said the question as to the opinions of the
officers of the Corporation, was as analogous to that, as the
opinions of the Judges as required by the House of Lords.
The Judges delivered their opinions seriatim, and what
would be thought of them, if, when called upon to deliver
their opinions, they said, "Oh, do not call upon us to give
any opinion. It would be dangerons."--(
Alderman CorELAND said that when the Judges were

called upon in the llouse of Lords, it was after counsel was
heard. There did not appear to hire to be any analogy be-
tween the cases.
Mr. T. H. HAIL said he did not wonder at the wish to go
to Parliament entertained by several members of t t Court,
when he witnessed such reluctance upon the part

leges.—(Loud cries of " Hear.") Themome they asked
the professional men, who ought to be able to sive them the
necessary information, what the nature of
their constitution

any one of which he could not comprehend.—ear.)
What could the Court do at all under such circumstances?
Mr. GODSON was decidedly in favour of excusing
ecti the Tow

answer questions, which he was convinced the bulk of his
fellow-citizens would not sanction.

A POOR-LAIV FOR IRELAND.
Doctor LYNCH gave notice of a motion to petition Parlia-
ment to grant a poor-law to Ireland, as the only means of
alleviating the dreadful distress of that unfortunate country.

Alderman COPELAND said that, as his sincerity had also
been called in question, he felt bound to declare it was his
firm opinion that, without the interference of Parliament,
the differences between the two Courts could not be at all ac-
conamodated.—(Hear, hear. )
Alderman Wuesox said that he likewise was considered to
be insincere. Ile was never more surprised than he was at
finding that Sir Peter Laurie had made
so extraordinary a

HAMBURGH MAIL.
lIAMBURGII MARCH 14.—There is again much floating ice
at Stade and Shulan, and the two:light-ships have again been
obliged to leave their stations. Below Shulan more than
forty vessels have been brought to anchor; on the south side
several large vessels, among them the Victoria, Captain
Meyer, the Edmund, Captain Smith, Jenny, Captain Pooy-
sen, &c. &c. Up here at the city there has been a great
accumulating of ice since yesterday ; :the steamers William
and Marshall have been obliged to remain in the harbour.
The latter attempted to start this morning, but was compel-
led to return. Indeed several ships which sailed a few days
ago have been compelled to return in consequence of the
quantity of drift ice.
IDotnunGn, MARCH 12.—The llarburg steamer came in
this morning, but all navigation is now suspended in conse-
quence of the great accumulation of ice. At Shulan and
Blankenesa there is a great quantity of firm ice—more
southward there is still a little clear water. The London
mail of the 9th has not yet arrived.
COLOGNE, MARCH B.—During the last week there has
been a hostile encounter between some of our citizens and
three of the military. The latter it appears were insulted,
and were obliged in self defence to resort to their arms.
They, however, had the worst of the fray, and were obliged
to retreat, leaving their military caps, a sword, and some
other articles in the hands of their assailants. Order is now
restored.
1~ host THE Gaericraie FRONTIERS.—The Breslau Gazette
states that the Russians are at this moment erecting a fortress
in the vicinity of Brady, which leads from the village of
Liurnik, and is manifestly directed towards the Austrian
frontier. On the side of Austria it is in contemplation to
erect a fortress at Solticze, sear Czernewitz, and several
officers are going thither to examine the site which is to be
selected for the fortress.
MUNICH, MARCH 6.—A few days ago our populace
honoured the bishops with a procession by torchlight. The
King inquired whether there had been a good many torches,
and on being answered in the affirmative, exclaimed, that's
well, that's well ; they want light, they make darkness
enough
CASSEL, MARCH s.—ln the night of the Ist and 2d of this
month, several very traitorous papers, containing threats and
calumny, were affixed to the walls of the Ducal Palace and
the Mass-house of the Roman Catholic Church ; and before
they were discovered by the police, and taken down, many
passers by read their; and thus they became public. A death's
head was on this placard, beneath it were daggers sprinkled
with blood, with the inscription, "Down with the tyrant,
liberty shall triumph." The vigilance of the police and
gendarmes has, in consequence, been redoubled, but the per-
petrator has not been discovered.
LEirste.—The unaccountable arrangements of the heads
of the University, by which the young men are to be placed
under the most, stringent rules, has given rise to the most
painful excesses; what could not be effected by any
society, any civic interest, any coercive effort, has
been effected by this ordinance—harmony among the
students of all classes and opinions : all hold together, a high
school; hence a regulation of this nature, which is imprac-
ticable and unworthy of any high school, was therefore par-
ticularly inapplicable here; hence it has called forth the
directly opposite to what it was intended. From the date of
the regulation, licentiousness indeed appeared among our
students. Between two and three hundred of them now sit
together drinking till an early hour in the morning, and a
command to the host to give no more beer alter ten
o'clock has been rendered wholly ineffectual till the
hour stipulated, and after that resort to the vessels
of liquor which they had purchased before ten
o'clock. The parents of these young men will hardly thank
the rector of the University for his wisdom, in endeavouring
by so unseasonable an effort again to make schoolboys of
their sons, to ruin their health anti morals, and to exceed
their allowances to an enormous extent. Nightly frays with
watchmen, and other scandals of a similar nature, may be in-
ferred, as a matter of course, and yet, notwithstanding all
this forced disorder of the students, it is impossible to with-
hold altogether the testimony of their manly and honourable
conduct.
We are happy to be able to state that the building of St.
Peter's Church, at Ilamburgh,lias not been interrupted during
the winter, notwithstanding the severity of the weather, and
it is confidently honed that the church will be roofed in on
the ith of May. On this interesting occasion it is proposed
that, as all the funds are exhausted, and there seems to be no
immediate prcepeet of obtaining a further grant from the
city, to call upon the benevolence of the citizens, and thus to
be enabled to finish this splendid undertaking. Various con-
tributions and subscriptions have been received towards the
erection of this church, as also that of St. Nicholas.—Hain-
burgh Paper, March 12. •
