This Company is formed for Paving the Metropolis, and
twenty miles round. Specimens of the principle have been
laid down at Whitehall, Buckingham Palace, and Oxford-street,
'where 2,000 yards more are commenced. The principle is a
mew_ section of the cube. The Blocks are cut across the grain,
at an angle of 63 degrees 26 minutes 5 seconds and 8-10ths of a
leavid, which causes the diagon.ljoining of the obtuse angles of
the ,two parallelopipedes to fall in a perpendicular straight line,
which, laid down obliquely, gives to a surface, perpetually even,
all the strength of an arch.
The streets of London alone comprise 6,000,000 square
yards, and are kept in repair at an annual expense of 300,0001.
The profits of the Company will be derived from the original
/vin; down of the Pavement, each million of square yards
3teking 150,0001. profit—and also from keeping their pave-
anent in repair, which on a moderae calculation will amount
to 60,0004 per annum—at the same time effecting a saving of
-half of the Paving-rates to the several parishes. The pre-
adnf- orders received by the Company amount to 30,000/. Ne-
gotiations are pending for other works to a great extent.
Meettinge have been held at Liverpool and Manchester, at
Which, ,after the principles of the Wood Pavement were ex-
plained,' _Restitutions were unanimously passed, approving of
.the scientific principle adopted by the Metropolitan Patent
Wood Pavement Company, and strongly recommending its ge-
neral use.
Application has ,Nince been made to the Inventor for permis-
ton to lay down a qi;arter of a mile in length at Manchester,
and the work will comoence forthwith.

NEW LABEL.

TN consequence of the great variety of Counter-
feit Wrappers of " ROWLAND'S MACASSA R OIL,"
stow in circulation, and which so nearly resemble the original
as frequently to deceive the unwary, the Proprietors, acting
under a sense of duty, and regardless of expense in the attain-
ment of their object, the protection of the public from fraud
and imposition, have employed those celebrated Artists,
Messrs. Perkins and Bacon, who have succeeded in producing
" A NEW LABEL" from steel, of so complicated and intri-
cate a nature, and of such excessive difficulty of execution, as
to amount to an impossibility of imitation, and to be considered
by connoisseurs a masterpiece in the art of engraving.
The label forms a combination of beautiful designs, a portion
encircling a BUST of her Majesty the " Queen," which sur-
mounts the words, in two linos,

ROWLAND'S
AIACASSAR OIL,
(the ground work is composed of the most elaborate arid chaste
patterns of lace-work.) Under which are the Signature and
Address of the Proprietors in Red,
A. ROWLAND and SON, 20, Hatton-garden, London.
Counter-signed, ALEX. ROWLAND.

The Label is backed by a design so exquisite and minute as
to defy competition ; it comprises the words " Rowland's
Macassar Oil," written nearly 1,500 times, and containing
29,028 letters.
20, Hatton-garden, London, January 1, 1840.
The Lowest Price is 3s. 6d. ; the next 7s. ; or Family
Bottles (containing four small) at 10s. 6d. ; and Double that
size, 1/. Is.
Some Impostors cat their trash the " Genuine Macassar
Oil," and sign it " A. Rowland Son," omitting the " & " offer-
ing it for sale under the lute of " cheapness."
Be sure to ask for " Rowland's Macassar Oil."
Sold by all respectable Chemists and Perfumers."

POST.—There was not much business doing at the
Stock Exchange today. Some sales of Reduced Three
per Cent. Stock were effected in the course of the
morning, but for what particular purpose did not tran-
spire, It was rather supposed that reinvestments
iu City bonds and other securities offering a higher
rate of interest were again the object of the parties
selling. It is possible, however, that the unfortunate
affair of yesterday may have produced some timidity
on the part of the dealers. For the present a decline
of only about a quarter per cent, has occurred in the
English market, Consols being, for the Account, 91i,
(sellers) in the early part of the day, but from which
they eventually improved to 91-f: Exchequer I3ills
remain steady at 249. to 265. prem.

SUN.—The Funds were affected in some degree by
the attempt on her Majesty's life, Consols for the
opening receding to 91i ex dividend ; Bank Stock
to 176 i, and the Reduced Three-and-a-Half per
Cents. 994 a ; Exchequer Bills were 245. to 265. pre-
mium ; and India Bonds at 3s. premium.
The Market for Spanish Bonds is again exceedingly
heavy. The Actives left off this afternoon at 26-i only,
and Deferred at l2i ; Portuguese New Five per Cents.
were heavy at 354 ; and Mexican Bonds at 31:1; ;
Brazil Stock rallied to 76i ; and Dutch Two-and-Half
per Cents. to 5.1; a.
A large amount of business was done in all the Rail-
way Shares, and there was a general improvement in
prices, as will be seen on reference to our list of
quotations.

The object of this Company is the working of certain patents
obtained, and nos in force, for rolling and compressing iron by
machinery, thus producing in an immeasurably shorter time,
and at a greatly diminished cost, a variety of articles proved to
be very superior to those resulting from manual labour.
The articles to which these patents apply consist of bolts,
rivets, railway pins, and others too numerous to particularize,
of which the consumption is unlimited, and which are indis-
pensable in the construction of railways, steam boilers, and
gasometers, ship building, architectural, agricultural, and a
variety of other very useful purposes.
The patent railway pins have for some time past been used
on the railroads throughout England, and their superiority is
established, not merely by the certificates of some of the first
engineers, but practically by the repeated orders of contractors
and American agents (some executed and others in course of
execution), the whole of which may be seen on applicati on to
the Secretary, whO will show specimens of the articles pro-
duced, and afford any further information relative to the un-
dertaking generally.
Application for shares to be made to the Secretary, at the
Company's Offices.
In consequence of the demand for Shares from the country
having much exceeded the number calculated on, applications
cannot be entertained after the 15th inst.!

L--1 OR the greatest ameliorations of civilized life,
AL we are indebted to the modern division of attention and
labour in the various pursuits of society, and in none have its be-
nefits been so manifest as in the healing art. Early convinced of
this great truth, MESSRS. GOSS and Co , Members of the Royal
College of Surgeons in London, have for twenty-five years confined
their attention to the successful treatment of a few prevalent com-
plaints, viz., the general and local debilities of both the sexes, whe-
ther arising from the solitary indalgence which a too highly inflamed
imagination brings like a destroying fiend over the constitution, the
mind, and the attbctions of youth ; or from a long residence in hot cli-
mates, excessive drinking, or any other baneful indulgence; and from
their daily experience they can with confidence offer a restoration
of the debilitated to vigorous health. Married females of a pure and
allectionate disposition, whose " fondest hope" has been painfully
deferred, may learn with consolation that perseverance in a proper
remedial course, will renovate general health, and remove hidden
impediments to maternal happiness.
An insidious disorder, however inveterate, as also Gonorrhoea,
sleet, and Stricture, may be removed without material restraint
in diet or exercise.
MESSRS. GOSS and Co. are to be consulted every day at their
resi ience; and Patients tn the remotest parts of the country can
be treated mccessfully on transmitting their report, which will be
immediately answered; their letters must minutely describe the
we, and contain a remittat,ce for Advice and Medicine, which
can be forwarded to any part of the world, however distant. No
difficulty can occur, as the Medicines wilt be securely packed, and
and CO. (M. R. C. Surgeons),
carefully protected from obsezaotsnosna.

(From the courier.)

One of the suggestions of Sir Robert Peel, which most
requires, as we:doubt not it will receive, the anxious attention
of Ministers, relates to some change in the franchise, or in
the machinery of exercising it, by which the mercantile in-
terests of Lower Canada would be more adequately repre-
sented in the Legislature. " He fairly owned to the Noble
Lord that he thought the majority of the Representatives in
the new Assembly influenced by British feelings and into-
terests and in favour of British connexion would be a very
narrow one. He did not think that the mercantile commu-
nity and interests would be sufficiently represented under
this Bill, and it would be a very great improvement
if, IA ithout doing injustice to any party, or disturbing the
territorial settlement, a full representation could be secured
to the mercantile population connected with the trade to
the mother country." We have at various times hereto
fore endeavoured to impress the same views, but unless the
elective franchise itself be materially altered and elevated
in respect of the qualification, we cannot see how the ob-
ject can be adequately accomplished. The mere admission
of the rights of copartners to separate votes, where a suffi-
cient value exists in the premises to cover the legal claim
which each would have from separate occupation of tene-
ments of the amount of value entitling, will go a very
little way to remedy the evil complained of.

THE, 31A-AKETS-(THJS DAY.)

CORN EXCIIANGE.
Last week's arrivals were small of English Grain, good of
Flour, and considerable of Foreign Wheat. The quantity of
Wheat fresh up was rather more than last Monday, of other
Corn the supplies were very moderate. The millers and. spe-
culators took off the best runs of Wheat at ls. to 2s. per ,quar-
ter advance on last Monday's terms, and other descriptions sus-
ta ned their former rates. Barley slow- in sale, at no variation
in valise. Beans have met a heavy trade, and scarcely sup-
port their former terms. Oats firm in value, with a moderate
demand. The Flour trade very heavy.
London, England, 1840-06-15

POTATOES.

The supply continues small, and prices rule high. York
red, 118 s. to 120 s. ; Devonshire potatoes, 1205., and Scotch
reds, 110 s. per ton.

HOPS.

Not much demand for hops, notwithstanding the accounts
from Worcester and many other districts arc very unfavour-
able, They state that the vine is covered with vermin, but in
consequence of the fine growing weather it does not look un-
healthy. Some of the letters, however, mention, that should
there be a succession of drought, it is possible that much in-
jury will be done to the plant.
TEA MARKET.
At the monthly public sales there was a good muster of the
trade, but not the least spirit was manifested in the biddings,
and very few lots were sold, the remainder being bought in by
the proprietors, who were not inclined to accept the reduced
prices offered. The proportion which was sold brought about
previous rates.
London, England, 1840-04-27

UNION-HALL.

John Mason, a poor, half-famished looking young
man, blind of one eye, was charged with wilfully break-
ing a gas-lamp, for the purpose of obtaining shelter in
the station-house.

On the previous night the defendant applied at the
station•house for shelter, and was told that he could not
be provided for there unless he committed some offence.
Acting on this information, he immediately went into
the road, and, picking up a stone, threw it at the gas
lamp over the station-house door, and smashed it in
pieces. This act on the part of the defendant had the
effect intended, and he was accordingly taken into
custody.
On being questioned by the Magistrate, the defen-
dant said he was a native of Scotland, and had not a
" baubee," and that he had been without victuals and
lodgings for the last two days and two nights ; that
being fairly worn out, and being refused admission into
the station-house, he certainly did break a lamp to get
shelter there ; his object was to get back to Scotland.
The Magistrate said that the defendant was not like the
generality of his countrymen, who when they once came
south were very loath to go back again. The offence
with which he was charged was becoming very preva-
lent, and, to teach the defendant that he could not com-
mit sucli acts with impunity, he should commit him for
twenty-one days to the treadmill, before he was started
off for the north.

BIRD-NESTING EXTRAORDINARY.—OR Sun-
day last, three lads, living in North James's-street, were en-
gaged in the not very laudable pursuit of searching for birds'
nests at Comely Bank. Having descried a sparrow come out
,
from the bottom rf a chimney belonging to one of the half-
finished edifices at that place, one of the lads was poking to
find its nest, and in a hole he fell in with a small paper parcel
which on opening he found, to his great surprise, to contain
eighteen sovereigns. There is little doubt that this money,
which has thus so singularly come to light, had been placed
there by some burglar for security.—Edinburyh Paper.

BO ULOGNE, APRIL 25.

(PROM A CORRESPONDENT.) .
The weather here is the most extraordi!lary that'll°
been seen for many' years. As in London, there I'o
been no rein for two months, n-- n

the climate, .of midsummer, but in all other resP,f,els

sadly different. There is scarcely any vegetation. e
wheat and other crops are stunted and backivard, fully
two weeks behind the south of England ; and the ye' •
getable market, which here is generally so fine, the
most poverty-stricken appearance. This is market

crop of was excellent, and affords great. relief
to the lower classes, who, highly to their honour, arc as
gay and cheerful as ever, and as kind-hearted and cha-
ritable to one another as if the laud flowed with Milk
and honey. It is impossible to witness the ,kindly
tcrcourse among all classes here, andaho.teelissg..theY

the national character. They form, in fact, one great
family—they mix together, master and servant, -rich'

more?cr;
politeness and respect than in aristocratical ~-
land. Tile great revolution, while it lestAl

130 W-STREET.

Cornelius Domus, driver of one of the Newbury
waggons, was charged with having, through careless-
ness, caused the death of a man who got into the wag-
gon, near Maidenhead, but who, as it appeared, was
run over facing St. Martin's Church, while the driver
was at the head of the leading► horse ; the Magistrate,
therefore, discharged the prisoner, whom be did not
consider to be at all implicated, at the same time stating
that the man would doubtless give his evidence at the
inquest. By papers found on the deceased it appeared
he was an Irishman, who had kept a public-house at
Bantry in Ireland.

GUILDHALL.

Hester Kernpson, a young woman, was charged with
the following cruel robbery. Mrs. Hutchinson, the
wife of a city policeman, stated that a fortnight after
she was confined the prisoner called on her, and saying
that she had just been discharged from her place, asked if
she might stay and nurse her for a few days as her nurse
was gone. The prisoner was taken into the house, and
at the end of a fortnight she wished her to get a place,
and the prisoner left the house each day for that pur-
pose. Yesterday she found that a gold ring and a five
pound note had been stolen from out of her box, and the
prisoner confessed to have taken it. When she was
asked how she had spent it, she stated that she took
her sweetheart, who is a common soldier, down to
Greenwich fair, where she treated him, and bought
him a guard-chain and some clothes. The ring bad
been pawned at Knightsbridge, and was produced by the
pawnbroker and identified. The Alderman, hearing
that no promise had been made to the woman to induce
her to make the confession, said that he should send
her for trial at the Central Criminal Court.

Country Orders promptly attended to.

WILKINSON'S ANTI-CORROSION PAINT.
REMOVED from 63, Upper Thames-street, to
54, WATLING-STREET, near Queen-street,
Cheapside.—J. R. W. particularly recommends his Paint to
the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, wbo wish to paint their
houses of Roman cement, stucco, or brick walls, as a preven-
tive to damp or sea spray in exposed situations ; it will not
blister or peel off as common paint. On tiling, to represent
slating, iron hurdles, roofs, conservatories, hot-houses, fences,
farm, or any out-buildings, it will last four times as long as
common paint. It is so simple in its use, that any labourer
can lay it on. To ship-owners for their decks, bottoms of ves..
eels, &c., it will be shown, as well as to the public, to be supe-
rior to any paint in use, by testimonials of its lasting fourteen
years on wood and houses, twenty years on iron (see the South-
wark-bridge). The public are particularly guarded in giving
their orders for Wilkinson's Anti-Corrosion Paint, that no
ether colour may be imposed upon them for his. A liberal
allowance to the trade.

MARY LEBONE.

Eliza Fitzgerald, a well-dressed woman, and the wife
of a tradesman in Tottenham-court-road, was charged
with being drunk and creating a disturbance in Nor-
ton-street, between one and two o'clock in the morning,
she refused to go home, and was then fore taken to the
station-house. The prisoner begged the Magistrate to look
over her offence, on account of the misery she had suf-
fered while in the dungeons by rats, hundreds of
which, as soon as she laid down to enjoy a comfortable
nap, crawled over her face and bosom, while others of.
the detestable creatures began gnawing her new pru-
nella shoes, which she had bought only a few hours pre-
viously at a very nice shop in Oxford-street. The in-
spector said there were not any rats in the place. The
prisoner assured the Magistrate that though, as there was
neither candle, gas, or day light in the place, she had
not seen them, yet she caught hold of the tail of one,
which, however, slipped out of her fingers, though she
pinched it as tightly as she could. She was ordered to
find bail for her bettor behavioUr fur the next six
months.

Q UEEN- SQ UARE.

Mr. George Martin, Inspector of the A division of
police, with the six constables who are specially ap-
pointed to do duty at the House of Lords, appeared by
order of the Commissioners to answer a charge made
against them by the Earl of Galloway, of 37, Grosve-
nor-square, for neglect of duty. Much of the Magistrate's
time was occupied by the hearing over again of what
was very properly called the foolery of " colting" his
Lordship's stupid footman, who must have known,
had he been no farther initiated into the mysteries of
servitude than Mary Stedman, of mutton-chop celebrity,
that he could not hope alone to overthrow a custom, how-
ever ridiculous, which had existed for a century, and to
which all the 'servants of the peerage had subscribed.
That some of the police witnessed parts of the occurrence
there can be no doubt ; that they acted wisely, in winking
at what was in truth but a little fun may be questioned ;
that they were so culpable as to call for all the parade
and fuss which the lacquey, inflated by wearing the livery
of a peer, has brought about, few will believe ; even the
Magistrates stated that there was not sufficient to war-
rant him in enforcing against the men then present the
highly penal statute which applied to the case ; so far as
he was concerned,he said, the men were entitled to their
dismissal, though general negligence was certainly appa-
rent. The Inspoctor respectfully observed that he and
the six men had to do the duty outside and inside the
House of Lords ; four of the men were outside at the
time, And he, with the others, was then in the House,
on leaving which he first heard of the occurrence.

PRESENTATION TO CATHOLIC LIVINGS.
On all sides contests are arisiii t among the English Catholics
shunt the right of building Chapels and presenting to.
tthern_
them,
some of the Bishops claiming all pswef in these points t
solves. As the whole debate is about '. !emporals," it is ex-
pected to come before the English Courts. Among other cases
that of Dodding Green, near Kendal, is not the least inte-
resting. An excellent living was established there above a
century ago, and continued under its trustees to be employed
according to the founder's invention, until the Vicar Apos-
tolic, between thirty arid forty years ago, seized the place,
kept it vacant, employed the revenue as he ',leased, and
allowed ti.r premises to fall into a state of absolute decay.
After many complaints on the part of the trustees, Mr. Rid-
dell, of Cheesburn, in Northumberland, and Fairhurst, in this
i t
county, now the sole trustee, presented the Rev. Mr. Rutter
' the
it a few years ago, and Dr. Penswic, then Bishop, granted
neeessary induction. On Mr. flutter's death, Dr. Briggs,
claimed a legal right in himself as bishop. After allowing Dr.
mitts time to prosecute his claims lir. Riddell presented the
Rev. Charles Brigham, and Dr. Briggs' not only refused induc-
tion, but forbade Mr. Bri,tham, even pending the cause, to ex-
ercise facu'ties, even that of catechising. Such is the present
