The beneficial effects arising from the construction of Docks
has been amply proved by those already made in the port of
London, where the vessel is placed in perfect security, and the
property of the merchant is amply protected. The application
of steam to merchant vessels has established a new class of
shipping requiring peculiar accommodation, such as cannot be
obtained in the existing. Docks. The time appears therefore
to have arrived, when the great commercial interests of this
port and city should be provided with a Dock for the ocean-
going steam ships which frequent the Thames ; and besides
this, the interests of humanity ask for the speedy institution of
such measures as shall prevent the awfully numerous accidents
to life and property incidental upon the navigation of large
steamers in the crowded parts of the river between Deptford
and London-bridge.
One opinion only can exist as to the necessity and importance
of a Steam Dock in the Pert of London ; and •it is matter of
surprise, that the Metropolitin Port should not have preceded
in a matter of such pre,sing necessity, the other great Ports of
the Kingdom, Liverpool, Bristol, and Hull, in constructing
Steam Docks.

To accomplish the result, the present undertaking has been
projected ; which, besides the great and valuable objects it has
in view, offers the prospect of a fair dividend upon the outlay to
proprietors.
To satisfy the public of the secure footing upon which the
undertaking is established, it is only necessary to state that. ar-
rangements have been made between the Company and the
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, by which the Public
Service will be greatly benefited in the establishment of this
Dock, and whereby the Company will derive such advantages
as must necessarily have the effect of securing its prosperity ;
the particulars of which may be seen at the Office of the Com-
pany, by application to the Directors, or Secretary.
The Commissioners appointed by their Lordships to examine
and report upon the undertaking, were Capt. Shirreff, R N.,
Captain Superintendent of her Majesty's Dock and Victualling
Yards at Deptford ; Capt. Beaufort, R.N., Hydrographer to
the Board ; and Capt. Brandreth, R.E., Civil Engineer to the
Admiralty.
According to these arrangements' the works are to be pro-
ceeded with, and finished with all possible dispatch, agreeably
to Plans adopted by, and deposited with, the Board, who have
appointed Captain Brandreth, R.E., to inspect the Works
during their progress ; and the line of froutage of the proposed
Dock is to be subject to the approval of Captain Beaufort,
R.N., Hydrographer to the Admiralty.
Upon a careful examination of the different sites on either
side of the river Thames, suited to the purpose of a dock of this
description, there is not one which offers such excellent qualifi-
cations as that situate between her Majesty's Dock-yard and
Deptford Creek. These advantages are,—the depth of water
to be obtained close in shore,•—the proximity of the various
railways, south of the Thames, for the conveyance of goods
and passengers,—and the low value of the property necessary to
be taken.

These advantages will also be increased by the depth of water
at the Lock Entrance and Frontage of the proposed Dock. The
Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty
having permitted to be adopted an arc founded on a radius of
4,500 feet, commencing at the Royal Dock-yard, and terminat-
ing at the Greenwich Pier, thus giving an extension of
wharfage into the River, which will tend greatly to improve the
navigation of that part of the Thames.
Amongst the advantages to be derived by the Steam Ship
Owner, may be enumerated the saving of wear and tear of en-
gines—of fuel—of freedom from risk of collision, and conse-
quent expensive results—safety of the vessel—facility for in-
spection after long voyages—convenience for fit'ing and refitting
—an abundant supply of filtered water always at command—
together with a depot of coals within the Dock.
A careful and detailed estimate has been made, and the same
is to be approved by the Engineer of the Admiralty before the
works are commenced.

It will not be unimportant to know that the Dock will con-
tain quay-room for vessels to lay alongside, of about 7,476 feet,

CHEAP PLATE-GLASS, cai!ed SHEET
PLATE-GLASS. •

The Sheet Plate-glass, made by a newly-invented Patera
process, is an article quite as good in quaiity as the British
Plate-glass, with the important advantage of being consider-
ably cheaper; affording the facility of glazing dwelling-housas
and public buildings with Plate-glass at a moderate cast. It is
also particularly well-suited for Drawings and Engravings.
Sold, wholesale and retail, by CLAUDET and HOUGH-
TON, at their Glass Warehouse, 89, HIGH HOLBORN;
where printed lists of prices may be had.

WILKINSON'S ANTI- CORROSION
PAINT.

REMOVED from 63, Upper Thames-street, to
54, WATLING-STREET, near Queen-street, Cheapside.
J. R. WILKINSON particularly recommends his Paint to
the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, who wish to paint their
houses of Roman cement, stucco, or brick walls, as a preven-
tive to damp or sea spra., 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
lommon paint. It is so simple in its use, that any labourer
can lay it on. To ship-owners for their decks, bottoms of yes-
sels, &c., it will he 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 Soutlf-
wark-bridge). The public are particularly guarded in giving
their orders for Wilkinson's Anti-Corrosion Paint, that no
other colour may be imposed upon them for his. A liberal
allowance to the trade.

QIGHT AND HEARING. - TESTI=
MONIALS on the Messrs. S. and 13. SOLOMONS'
newly-invented SPECTACLE LENSES and INVISIBLE
OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR for Deaf Persons.

" We, the undersigned, have been for some time making
use of Messrs. Solomons' newly-invented Spectacle Lenses;
the astonishing relief they afford to imperfect vision gives
them the decided preference to every other kind of Leni
—the clearness of the transparency brings every object very
distinct, and enables individuals to view the most minute par-
ticle with perfect accuracy. They are particularly pleasant
by candle light, as they appear cooling to the sight, and soften
bright and brilliant lights :

In placing the above list of Testimonials before the public,
the Messrs. Solomons, Opticians and Aurists, state that their
INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR, by
which thousands of Deaf Persons have been greatly benefited,
is not larger than a seven-shilling-piece, and when fixed into
the cavity of the ear is soft and easy, and not more uncomfort-
able nor perceptible than having a piece of wool in its place.
By its use the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard
wit' distinctness.
These important new inventions axe patronized by their Ma-
jesties the King and Queen of Hanover and their Royal ffigls-
nesses the Princesses Augusta and. Sophia, her Serene High-
ness the Princess Esterhszy, the Princesses Mary and Rosa,
nor Grace the Duchess Dowager of Bedford. and their Graces
the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Dukes of Devonshire and
Manchester, &c. &c.

Mr. Stanton, it will be remembered, was kidnapped
by a party of Chinese while bathing near Macao, and
carried up to Canton. His examination by the Chinese
authorities, at the head of whom was the redoubted Corn-
. nussioner Lin, will be read with some interest. The
account is taken from the Bombay Courier :
Mr. Stanton arrived early on Friday, the 7th, and
was delivered into the custody of the Namhoy-yune,
and though one would think the capture of a solitary
foreigner, unaccused of any crime except that of hie
birth, to be an event of very slight importance, great
preparations were immediately made for his examination
in the public hall of the Viceroy's palace. The prelimi-
naries for this mighty business were concluded at about
one o!elock, and at two the Kwang-chow-feo, the Pwan-
yune, Namhoy-yune, and four other officers of high rank
made their appearance, taking their seats, the Kwang-
chow-foo in the centre, in a row, on chairs adorned with
scarlet cloth, and the tables usual on such occasions be-
fore them. Behind the chairs of these functionaries was
a partition which screened his Excellency Viceroy
Lin from the looks of the profane. All the Hong mer-
chants and linguists were in attendance, standing during
the whole of the examination, which lasted from two
o'clock in the afternoon until past nine at night.
A number of lower officers, police runners, lictors, ece..
were also present, when Mr. Stanton, under the charge
of two linguists, was brought into court with chains on
his bare feet, and dressed only in a shirt and trowscrs,
the former somewhat discoloured by the blood from a
wound in his shoulder, which though not deep ap-
peared as if inflicted by some sharp instrument ; his
head and face were also bruised on one side. In spite
of his evident exhaustion, be being very pale, Mr.
Stanton was made to kneel before this august assembly,
which

him before the examination began, which was conducted
by the Kevang-chow-foo, the linguist Atom acting as inter-
preter. The first questions put to the prisoner were," Who
are you ?" " What is your name? What yeur nation? To
which the reply was, that his name was Stanton,
that he resided in Macao, and that he ;was an
Englishman. " How can you be an Englishman,"
replied (he Kwang-chow-foo," when it is well known
that all the English have long since been ordered away
from Macao, and that we have the assurances from
our officers there that they are all gone ?" To which
Mr. Stanton answered that so far from his countrymen
having all left Macao, there were upwards of a hun-

then on the left, and these again comma-
duce(' a good deal ofgrave nodding, of shakes of the head,
and so on, and the Kwang-chow-foo got up to com-
mune with his master behind the screen, whence he
returned after a short absence. These low whis-
pers among the judges, and the conferences be-
tween the Viceroy and Kwaug-chow-foo, were rather
frequent, and happened whenever anything appearing
to them extraordinary was said by the prisoner.
Owing, it is supposed, to the presence near the
tsung-tuck of several Chinese who well under-
stood English, the interpreter was observed to discharge
his duty with considerable fidelity, which is a rare
occurrence, Chinese interpreters generally preferring
to give the story they wish the mandarins to reeeive to
giving the real meaning of the deponent. It is on this
account chiefly that the mandarins heard several things,
which must have astonished them not a little. The
Kwang chow-foo then asked Mr. Stanton whether Lc
was not aware of the existence of the Proclamations
offering rewards for the taking and killing of English-
men ; which being answered in the affirmative, he was
asked why, such being the case, he had been walking
about, well knowing he subjected himself to being made
a prisoner. To which Mr. Stanton replied that he was
walking peaceably towards the beach to bathe, when he
was suprised by Chinese, who hurried him into a boat,
two of which were at Casilla Bay apparently waiting for
him ; but, said Mr. Stanton, though now a prisoner, I ad-
vise you to liberate me without delay, for I am certain
that within three days my countrymen will demand
me, and if refused, their ships of war will open their
fire upon you. This bold speech occasioned a good deal
of surprise, which having subsided, the examination was
continued. The prisoner was asked what his business
was, and where he lived, to which he replied, he was
a teacher, who had come to this country withl/r. Tur-
ner's sons as their tutor ; that he was in no way con-
nected with trade, and was then living in Mr. Turner's
house. To this it was objected that Mr. Turner was dead,
and inquiry made of the present abode of Mrs. Turner,
and her sons, the Kwang-chow-foo was told, had re-
turned to England. He was next asked, how many
ships of war had arrived on the coast of China, and how
many troops, to which the prisoner answered that about
45 ships had gone to the northward, that five re-
mainedin Macao ; that there wercs,ooo troops on board,
and that an equal number was expected to arrive soon.
It was then asked why the English had sent an arma-
ment to fight the Chinese, to which answer was made
that the English had not come to fight the Chinese, but
to obtain redress for injuries suffered. It was objected,
if they had not come to fight, why they had fired
on the forts at Amoy, and why they had taken
Chusan. Answer, that at Amoy it was the Chinese
who first fired on a boat bearing a flag of truce, and that
in consequence of that the English ships destroyed
the forts ; that Chusan was taken because the letter
which the English wished to have sent to the Emperor of
China had been refused ; that the object of the English
was to complain of the treatment they had received to the
Emperor himself, but that their letter had been every-•
where refused ; had it been received and forwarded no
hostilities would have ensued ; that the English had
only occupied Chusan until a satisfactory answer shall,
have been received from the Emperor, when they will.
return the island to his government. The Kwang-chow-
foo also asked, why, if the intentions of the English.
were pacific, they had captured so many salt junkse
To which it was replied, that the salt junks, beingi
considered Government property, had been seized ana
would be detained until restitution shall have been-
made for the property of which the English have been
despoiled by the Chinese.
These are the principal points in the examination
to fill up the seven hours a great many more things
were said, which it is unnecessary to repeat.
Mr. Stanton now remains in custody of the Nam-
hoy-yune, but is not shut up, we arc told, in the com-
mon prison, but in a room in the Namhoy-yune's house.
in which generally such prisoners only are confined as
can afford to pay handsomely for this indulgence.
In the same prison with Mr. Stanton is a Lascar, who,
by his own account, was also seized in the neighbour-
hood of Macao ; we know not who this man may be,
not having heard of any missing ; his seizure, however,
ha's drawn a poor Chinaman into great trouble, who,
when he saw his countrymen approach the Lascar,
warned him of his danger, exhorting him to run away.
This warning was overheard by the minion of the law,
and he was seized, and may possibly lose his life for
treasonable practices.

Three young men, who gave the names of
Grant, Wayler, and Lambourn, were taken before Sir
Henry Fletcher, a Magistrate for the County of Surrey, at
the Town Hall, Kingston, on Wednesday, upon a charge
of being common utterers of counterfeit corn, and with
having defrauded a number of tradesman at Kingston and
the neighbourhood. Miss Harris, a shopkeeper at King-
ston, deposed that the prisoner Wayler came to her shop
and asked her to give him change for a shilling, and she
gave him a sixpence, a four-penuy-piece, and two-pence,
and he handed her a shilling which she placed in the till.
In a short time lie again came to the shop, and asked for
a pennyworth of cotton, and he threw down a, shilling upon
the dark part of the counter, and she picked it up-and found
that it was counterfeit. She told him so, and he immedi-
ately snatched it from her, and ran out of the shop. She then
looked in the till, and found that the former shilling she had
taken was counterfeit, and she immediately marked it, and
handed it over to the police. Another shopkeeper at Kings-
tan, named Wentworth, spoke to a similar proceeding on
the part of Lambourn. This prisoner also succeeded
in passing one counterfeit shilling, and made a
second
attempt,
e owhsehrlop-k
the fraud was discovered. Mr. Hull-
bert, a ok eeper, proved that the prisoner Grant
came to his shop and purchased some ox-cheek, and
paid him with a counterfeit shilling, and he gave
him the change. About half an hour afterwards he re-
turned to the shop, and asked for the same quantity of
ox cheek, and he tendered him a shilling, which he dis-
covered to be a bad one, and told the prisoner so ;
and ho replied that hed
knelew ith t was a good one, and
took it from him shop. Information

great quantity of good silver and copper coin. The
pri-
soners, who said they got their living by hawking memo-
randum-books and lucifer-boxes about the country, were
remanded, in order to give the police an opportunity to
make the necessary inquiries, and to communicate with the
Solicitor to the Mint. There is no doubt that the pri-
soners have laid the whole of the neighbourhood of King-
ston and Richmond wider contribution, and that several
fresh cases will be brought forward against them.
A Silesian Chronicle states that the winter of
1740 was so severe in that part of Europe, that whilst the
stove in one part of a room was red hot, water placed near
the window was frozen, and water thrown from a third
floor became ice before it reached the ground 1 It was
impossible, says the chronicler, to walk a hundred yards
in the open air against the wind without the face being
frozen. In Bohemia and Moravia all the ponds were
frozen to the bottom, and the fish died ; domestic animals
were frozen to death in their stables, as were the birds in
the woods and the game in the forests. Three thousand
persons are said to have died of cold in Sweden, and
80,000 bead of horned cattle were frozen to death in Hun-
gary.

PRINCE ALBERT'S MUNIFICENCE,
OR A THOUSAND POUNDS FOR A FIFTY-
GUINEA HORSE.

A gentleman residing upon his estate, not a hundred
miles from Canterbury, lately rode his' own horse to
town ; and during his temporary stay in the metropolis,
more than once made his appearance in the Park,
mounted upon his handsome and gallant steed. On one
of these occasions it was his good fortune to be observed
by the Prince, who, with his attendants, were riding in
the park at the time, and who was so struck with it e
beautiful figure of the animal which our friend rode,
that his Royal Highness immediately dispatched one
of his attendants in the direction is which our friend
was then cantering off the ground in fine style,
.in
order to ascertain whether he would
upart with
the splendid animal he rode." The servant of his Royal
Highness was successful. He presently overtook the
gentleman in question ; and, after respectfully_o snaking
known the nature of the command of
would be
master,
Royal s. servant's re-
begged to know whether our frienkwould be pleased t.,
pan with the horse in question The reply was a
negative one. His
joinder was remarkable. 6_ It
.sald he, " you
the horse was not to be tempted
should think proper to sell, the Prince commande,i
me to say you have only to name your own price.'
The The servantowner reotfurned to tike Royal party with a negative
thus disappointed. Our friend had very
answer to his Royal master's proposition. Prince. Albert
pwraospenroly sentt-tobe his card of address back, which was punc-

of the " crack animal" he had so much admired, should
be written to. Accordingly on hisreturn home, our friend-
received
received a letter from one Seymour, stating his Royal
Highness's anxious desire to possess himself of the "ele-
gant horse he had seen hiss ride in the Park, &c.," with
this very significant peroration—" mention your own
figure ; money shall not prevent the Prinee from making
a purchase." The gentleman returned for answer he was
not disposed to sell. Another letter followed this seconit
negative. A second letter from Seymour almost as soon
arrived. A third refusal followed on the part of ourfriend.
A third communication was ultimately received from the
amanuensis of the Queen's Consort. Our friend, as
a favour, was requested to consent to sell, and name
his price. He did not consent to sell, but sent for
answer, that a thousand pounds alone could purchase
the said horse. Of course, he determined to adopt this
line of conduct, not out of any disrespect to IA Royal
Highness, but simply to put an end to further impertuni-
ties. The reader will he astonished to hear the next
post not only brought our friend a reply to his last,
from the same party, but also a "cheque" for 1,000
pounds! e need not say the horse was delivered—
and to whom ? Why, to one 'of the Prince's grooms,
who had been sent from Buckingham Palace purposely
to take charge of the same, and conduct it safely to
London.—Kentish Observer.
