Dr. Scoresby, of Queen's College, and Vicar of Brad-
ford,
Yorkshire, has been for seine time in the metro-
polis, and we understand that he has made known to the
Royal Institution and the United Service Club, his recent
important discovery in improving magnetical instru-
ments, by which their power will be raised on an average
nearly threefold, besides rendering them almost un-
changeable. So highly have his communications been
esteemed by the latter distinguished body of officers,
that a vote of thanks has been conveyed to Dr. S. from
their Council, accompanied by a diploma conferring the
distinction of honorary member in that Society. During
his stay in London,, Dr. Scoresby had the honour of an
interview with Prince Albert at Buckingham Palace, for
the purpose of communicating to his Royal Highness
these important discoveries.

EMIGRATION TO AMERICA.—The tide of
emigration still flows rapidly to the western world.
Yesterday, the American line-of-packet ship Wel-
lington left the St. Katharine's dock for New
York with upwards of two hundred passengers,
principally agricultural labourers and their fami-
lies, who expect to better their conditiwn in va-
rious parts of America. Among the emigrants there
were several farmers of small capital, and not a few
good mechanics. In the first and second cabins there
were 40 passengers, and in the steerage 160. A consi-
derable number of their friends and acquaintances as-
sembled on the dock head, to witness their departure
for the " far west," and in taking farewell many af-
fecting scenes took place. The Wellington is a fine
ship of 703 tons register, and ou leaving St. Katharine's
Dock was taken in tow by a steam-packet, and instantly
proceeded, against a strong flood tide, down the river.
At Gravesend, the wind being fresh and favourable, she
would set sail for Portsmont!:, from which place she is
to proceed to New York on Sunday next. The Welling-
ton has a full and valuable cargo.
WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—A new organ, of cue-
siderable size and power, is now building for the express
use of Prince Albert, and is nearly completed. It is in-
tended to be placed in the music-room at the Castle.
His Royal Highness, some time since, received lessons
upon this instrument, and the Prince now performs upon
it in a very talented and highly respectable manner.
The Lord Lieutenant has been pleased to ap-
point the following gentlemen to be stipmdiary magis-
trates, viz. :—Edward Gonne Bell, Esq., for the county
of Kerry, in the room of W. N. Roche, Esq., removed to
the county of Clare ; and Nicholson Kelly ' Esq., for the
