SEAHAM HARAVVR:V.
The following is a copy of a NW addrestfd to tfice
Marquis of Londonderry, by the CitieNommissioner cf
Customs:—
" My dear Lord Londonderry,—lt has fallen:to
lot, in my official duties, to visit the ports on the eastrrne
coast of England. I have now seen...Bridlington,
Whitby, Scarborough, Stockton, :Middlesborough', Iftit-
tlepoel, Sunderland, Seaham, Newcastle, and the two
Shields. Of all the places which I have itZiKrealfina r .
strikes me with the greatest_ awe and amazement ;41irfe
I cannot help writing a few lines to you,. its'iiittithr and,
proprietor, to express the great deliglit whicrl expo.=
rierced in seeing the extraordinary work at' that
place. If you were the person to conceive, as it
is well known that you were tl e libeial patron
to execute, the noble works -of that harbour, you
deserve praise for being the boldi.st engineer that ever
undertook to overcome the almost insurmountable ob-
stacles of nature. I gazed with admiration 'inidirurpriee
at the persevering energy which could create a safe and
magnificent harbour out of such-a place; and I cannot
bnt wish you success and reward far your patriotic ex
ertions. The works at Sunderland, both completed and
now in progress, gave me the greatest pleasure, after
your works at Seaham ; and from all that I have wit-
nessed at the places mentioeed, I cannot but express the
great astonishment which I experienced at seeing the
untiring and unlimited exertions of man in this part of
the empire to increase the national wealth.
" Believe me, dear Lord Londonderry, yours most
truly. " G. E. M. DAWSON.

BRETT'S ELECTRIC PRINTING

TELEGRAPH.

An opportunity was afforded us on Saturday of wit-
nessing the practical application of Mr. Brett's electric
printing telegraph, at the office of the company, in Par-
liament-street This telegraph has for some time past
been successfully worked in America, and reports have
reached this country of communications having been
regularly made by it between Philadelphia and Pitts-
burg, a distance of 300 miles, with the most extraordi-
nary accuracy and celerity. It is also stated that the
message of the governor to the Legislature of New
York, delivered in Albany on the 7th of January, con-
sisting of two columns and a half of solid nonpareil
type, was published in the city of New York two hours
after its delivery, having been transmitted sentence by
sentence by the telegraph in questi( n; and that measures
are in the course of progress for the extension of this
wonderful invention throughout the whole of Lon er
and Upper Canada, embracing at the same time Wash •
ington and New Orleans. The apparatus is thus de-
scribed in the prospectus of the company :—" At one
extremity of the line is fixed a small box containing a
row of keys (similar to those ef a pianoforte), and marked
with the letters of the alphabet, which is connected by a
single wire to a printing machine at the other extre-
mity, containing a wheel, having on its circumference
corresponding letters. A sligUt electric power is suffi-
cient to regulate the motion of the whole, and the in-
stant that a key representing any particular letter is
touched at one end of the line, the corresponding letter
of the type wheel prints, and the alarm• bell rings, at the
other. The communications are printed on a scroll of
paper of unlimited length, from which any portion of the
correspondence may be cut off at pleasure." The expe-
riments at which we were present on Saturday were
satisfactory in the extreme ; and proof was given that
between 80 and 90 letters could be impressed with ease
in a single minute upon the recipient paper, while the
consecutive letters of the alphabet were even taken down
in so short a time as eleven seconds ! The appearance
of the typography is clean, but the lines are slightly
irregular. It is, however, beautifully clear and legible,
and whatever defects there may be on the score of sytie
metry may, ro doubt, be easily removed by a little
mechanical consideration. The advantages which this
telegraph enjoys over all others are too obvious to need
mentioning. Correspondence can be transmitted free!,
place to place, no matter the extent of distance, copies et
which may be simultaneously secured' at all the inter-
mediate stations,.and printed news thus fly over the
surface of the land with the incomprehensible velocity of
lightning.
In a letter addressed to Sir Robert Peel, in July, 18459
by Mr. Brett, the attention of the Government was in-
yitod to the folic:mint, proposals:-Ist. The immediate,
communication of orders and dispatches to all parts elf
the empire, and the instant return of answers to the
same from the seats of local government, &c., all deli-
vered in an unerring and printed form. 2d. A general
telegraphic post-office system, uniting the chief and
branch offices in London in connexion with all the offices(
throughout the kingdom, for transmitting messages ni
business, &c., from merchants, brokers, tradesmen, an
private persons. 3d. The application of the apparatus to
police, military, and naval arrangements. That the in'
vendors contains within itself these and other advantages
cannot for a moment be questioned; and it can hardly
be doubted that, before long, the British public will more
or less be in possession of them. Mr. Brett is likewise
;he originator and patentee of an oceanic line upon the
same principle, which he affirms to be equally simple tto
practicable.—Morning Paper.

To THE LADIES.—The high and universal cele'
brity which Rowland's Kalydor continues to maintain, as sit
aelive yet mild and soothing extirpator of ail impurities of the
skin, is, during the period of spring, most pleasingly evinced._
This preparation, eminently balsamic, restorative, and 1101,.
gorating, is equally celebrated for safety in application.l-
unfailing efficacy in removing all impurities and discel:rtf
tions; and imparting a healthy freshness and transparencY__
the skin and complexion. Its universally great demand eco
cites the cupidity of unprincipled shopkeepers, who give t
title of " Kalydor" to compounds of their own manufacture,
of the most deleterious character, containing mineral astrin-
cents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and, by their repel'
lent action, endanger health. It is therefore imperative on
purchasers to see that the words "Rowland's Kalydor" are on
the wrapper. All others are fraudnlent counterfeits.

CANLNE ATTACIIMENT.—A short time ago Mr. .1'
Bell, of Beathwaite-green, sent his man to bring hone
pony which he bed purchased of Mr. James Holine,
the Strickland Arms, Sizergh Fellside. Whom the tn°l:l
was bringing the animal away from his former owner b 0
found that a large dog of the bloodhound breed had aeci
companied him from the Sizergb Arms. The man stoPP.e
on the way for a short time at the Duke of York pub
house, but upon his atterapting to resume his journey 11,'
dog entered a very significant growling protest, whit"
upon the man's persisting in the attempt, deepened iII"
)
rather alarming demonstrations of hostility. AnparentlY
the animal, though he had no objection to his equie,s
companion taking a short journey under his safeguart"
had conceived in his doggish mind a suspicion that things
were now going too far, and that he was really about to
lose him. He became at las,, so furious that nottki°s
would pacify him, until the man was compelled to turo
the pony's head the other way, and take him to his for'
mer owner.— WeAtmoreland Gazette.
