THZ GLASGOW HARBOUR. rinerznaL

The Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock, Lord Wersley is
the chair, when the evidence on behalf of this scheme was pro-
ceeded with.

Captain Washington, one of the Royal Tidal Commmissioners,
was called and examined—He had been engaged some time ago in
making investigations into the state of Glasgow harbour. Last year
a great number of witnesses of the first respectability, merchants,
manufacturers, engineers, and magistrates were examined, and they
all bore out the fact of the great pressure of shipping and the want
of accommodation. He considered that even the proposed docks at
Stob•croes would not give all the accommodation required. It was
most important that the general traffic and the minerals should be
separated as far as possible. The point selected by the General Ter-
minus Company was decidedly objectionable, as it was opposite to
the steam-boat quay, and if eight or nine tiers of colliers lay there,
as he expected should that scheme be carried out, the large Liver-
pool steamers would not be able to turn in the river. Looking
at the map, and oalculating the almost certain increase of
trade down the river, and the extension of the quays,
he considered the Harbour Mineral scheme better than the other
two. He took no exception to the tidal basin except that it was
too small. Still it would do something towards relieving the pres-
sure of the shipping in the river. Indepentent of the idea et a rail
was this place had been pointed out some time ago as a good pleat
for a dock or tidal basin. It would also have another advantage ; the
vessels would not be liable to suffer from floods and high tides as
they were in the river. Others had confirmed the evidence he gave
in a similar question last year before a Select Committee, that it
was highly objectionable to lay down rails along such crowded quays
as those of Glasgow.
In the cross-examination to which the witness was subjected, the
witness reiterated substantially all the points he maintained in his
examination in chief. He most emphatically dissented from any plan
to bring themineral traffic up the quays to interfere with the general
traffic.

Lord BEAUMONT then presented a petition from
the high sheriff and gentry of the county of Mayo, in
favour of the above-mentioned undertaking.
Viscount CANNING said that in pursuance of a
notice he had given on Monday last, he now moved for
he second reading of the Metropolitan Buildings
Bill. The House would remember that the sessions
before last en Act was passed, the effect of which was
to repeal the old Building Act of 1774, which had been
found very insufficient, and to establish a well digested
and well regulated code of rules for the purpose of se-
curing to the community at large as much safety and
accommodation in houses as was dependent on a well
ordered and well regulated system of building. The
Bill passed the session before last, and of which the
country might be said now to have had the experience of
more than a year was now to be agitated. He admitted that
in some parts the defects of the Bill became apparent, and
it would be the duty of her Majesty's Government to
find some remedy for them. It was not to be expected
that it could be otherwise with a measure so minute in
its details, and affecting so many conflicting interests
of so many various kinds. The consequence was that
many recommendations of different sorts had been
addressed to Government, stating the real or supposed
difticulties of the measure, and many suggestions had
b een made (some of them ridiculous enough) from
various
t,t quarters, pointing out what would
e
most proper and the safest course
which the Government could pursue.—(Hear.)
The Government had taken this matter into considera-
tion. with a view to make certain corrections, in order to
obviate mistakes in future •and Lt, would be' his deity too
bring those corrections under'

.notice of the House
on a future day. In the Act
eprnpuowneriiitii the year 1844,
certain clauses were passed point-
molt of district surveyors and referees, agritoe theap latter
all matters of dispute were to be referred. Another
clause warranted the appointment of a registrar, who was
to be a barrister, and his duty would be to mike de-
cisions and awards in all disputed matters;
in fact, he
was to act as a sort of legal assessor. But the expe-
rience of this working of the Act had shown thatand u many
questions had arisen of great importance, pon
hich the referees could not be got to come to one
opinion ; and on which it would, be difficult for the
registrar to say which party was right.—(Hear.)The object of the Bill was to appoint _a. third referee,
t being already appointed, but the third would
give
ha opportunity of coming to a decision upon the matters,
brought before them, This appointment would, hots_

THE UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER.
30 to 50 per Cent. Saved!
The Patentees beg to 'call public attention to the following facts,
fhe advantages resulting from the invention are various and
striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per ceht„ the com-
bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced. superior to any light
hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns
steadily for any period ; and such is its purity, that it neither affects
or soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have
made to the introduction of gas in dwellin:Aouses, to the expense of
fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, &c. ;
these are entirely obviated by the "PATENT 'UNIVERSAL GAS
MILNER." As the cost of laying on gas is muck lower than is com-
monly supposed, it is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for
club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the
small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum
immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of
waste or trouble.

The merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing
every other known light, are shown by the annexed authentic
opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER.
Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers,
Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, Sir Joini RSNNIE, Prealdent, in the Chair.
" A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited.
The principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the
centre of the flame by a hollow button hi the middle of the burner.
The air passing up through the hollow stein of the button, was
heated, and passed out by two series of flrc-hol es around the periphery,
and Impinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards
in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with
the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion,
The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady,
as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution,
where these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption
of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying
the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a
better light, with a saving of rather more than one-third."

IRELAND.

OBSERVATIONS RELATING TO THE VERY IMPORT-
ANT ESTATES AT PRESENT ADVERTISED FOR
SALE BY AUCTION AS ABOVE.

MR. W. W. SIMPSON, for obvious reasons,
has recommended the proprietors of Irish Estates who
have honoured him with their confidence, to postpone those sales,
which were advertised to be sold by Auction in April and June last
to the autumn of this year. In reference to the copy of the
Treasury Minute, dated the 31st August, Mr. Simpson considers
himself justified in stating that the present Government are going
to work in good earnest to facilitate the employment of the labour.
ing poor of distressed districts in Ireland, and in other respects to
carry out such comprehensive and ameliorating measures as will
ensure order, industry, and the increased prosperity of the country.
The confidence created by the contemplation of these measures has
already caused applications from English and Irish capitalists for
particulars of estates at present advertised : and an offer already
received by Mr. Simpson for an estate in the county of Donegal
(consisting of 4,100 acres, and advertitied for sale by auction) of
within a small sum of the amount which would be accepted, con.
firms the correctness of the foregoing conclusions. These ob-
servations apply also to mortgages. Mr. Simpson cannot help
thinking that the all.wise and omnipotent Disposer of human
events has visited Ireland with the potato scourge for the purpose
of stimulating the Government and landed proprietary to form
plans, and make such advances as will improve the condition
of millions of the Irish small and other tenants : and that, in.
stead of cultivating and feeding solely on a vegetable yielding
only twenty.five per cent. of food nutritious to the human
g, does not exhaust the
power
does, the
cropping,
obtainable from the potato
i,
frame, they will thereby be enabled to grow for consump-
tionli conversion of the straw
moreover
white straw and green crops in all their variety, produce
which,
plant. Under the measures of a wise Government the unbounded
resources of Ireland will be developed, and in a few years, instead
of a large portion of the population subsisting entirely on their
ounderf the
yielding aland
propert aen tenfold the
coursel d potato
the manure o f
miserably sub-divided and sub-let land, factories will spring up,
and the extraordinary water power of the country will be most
profitably applied ; the population will also reap that reward which
will sweeten their labour, by enabling them to withdraw their de-
pendence on that plant which from the test and result of two years,
was clearly never intended by Providence to be essentially thefood
of man Mr. Simpson, with great deference, submits that it would
be presumptuous to attempt the cultivation of the potato to any
great extent in the ensuing szason.

LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1846,

The hurried departure of the Governor-General of
Bombay for England, in consequence of his alarm-
ing indisposition, has been productive of the extra-
ordinary express from India published in another
portion of The Sun. By the resignation of Sir
GEORGE ARTHUR—a resignation which, from his
protracted illness, has been long anticipated—the
government of Bombay is temporarily placed under
the direction of the Honourable Mr. REID, senior
member of the Council. Whoever may be selected
to succeed the late Governor-General will be wel-
comed with enthusiasm by the colonists, if he only
possess a decided character for activity, lenity, and
liberality, some inconvenience having resulted from
the unfortunate state of debility into which the con-
stitution of Sir GEORGE ARTHUR had latterly fallen,
and the consequent dilatoriness superinduced in
the movements of his administration. Whenever
the principal magistrate of any territory is enervated
by disease, the actions of his magistracy are necessa-
rily effete and sluggish. Sir G. CLERK is generally
regarded as the most probable candidate for the ap-
pointment; but a short time will disclose whether an
office so lucrative and influential will be awarded to
him or to Sir HENRY POTTINGER. The latter ,;,/ouid,
undoubtedly, carry with him a vast PredP;minating
prestige, which might augur well for the, future cf-
mercial and political prosperity of Borabay. I
Calamitous accounts are convved

BREWERY, WITH PUBLIC-HOUSES, &c.
R. W. W. SIMPSON is instructed to SELL
a most eligible Brewery C mcern in the country, with
Malthouses, and Thirty-four Freehold and Copyhold Inns and Pablic-
houses, to which there is a capital spirit trade attached. The Free
Public-house trade is also considerable. The present ,proprietor,
who has carried on this business for the last twenty-five years with
great success, is desirous of retiring from declining health only ; he
is therefore willing to leave two-thirds of the Purchase Money on
the Estate at 4 per cent. The Brewery and Premises are situate on,
and immediately joining, a navigable river, and a wharf from which
beer can be sent to any part of the kingdom at a very small expense.
References of the highest respectability will be required antece-
dently to any particulars being furnished by Mr. W. W. Simpson,

On the 4th, at 10 A. 31., there being a commanding
breeze from the northward, signal was made to weigh.
The Gorgon, leading past the batteries, and closely fol-
lowed by the Fulton and Alecto, anchored in a flanking
position 2,000 yards below the principal battery. and 800
yards from the field pieces on the cliffs. The Firebrand
and Gassendi at the same time took up their appointed
stations above the upper batteries and field pieces. The
enemy were well prepared, and received us with a brisk
discharge of round, grape, and musketry; the former
only doing any damage.
The first shot from the Gorgon was the moment se-
lected for our rocket battery to open fire. The enemy,
at the principal battery, not yet being within reach, and
anxious to see the fun with the upper battery, had
jumped on the parapet, and were shouting, " Viva la
Con federacion Argentina," &c., at a great rate, when the
rockets from the island drove them down much faster
than they mounted.

At 101. 40m. A.M. the action was general. The
firing from the steamers was beautiful, nearly every
shell bursting at the muzzles of the field pieces, or over
the. batteries. Occasionally one would pitch into the
cliff; and, bursting, send tons of earth into the river, and
a column of dust into the air.
At 12h. 50m. P.M. all the convoy had passed down,
except an English barque, the Caledonia, and two
schooners, which had grounded on the point of an island
about u mile and a half below the principal battery,
owing to their having kept too far over to avoid the
enemy's shot. The Alecto and Lizard were ordered to
their assistance, and afterwards the Firebrand. The
vessels were broadside on to the point, the barque on the
top of all, and lying over on her broadside. Finding it
impos:sible to get them off, the crews were received on
board, tcld the vessels set fire to, to prevent their falling
into the ha..
7ds of the enemy.
The steamers then all passed down after the convoy,
and that night anchored four miles below the town of
Rosario. We way well pleased to find that no one had
been, killed in any of the vessels, although all the

HAVERHILL, SUFFOLK,

FREEHOLD PROPERTY of a most valuable description, being
chiefly situate In and immediately adjoining the populous market
and manufacturing town of Haverhill, and which is let to a re-

spectable tenantry, at a rental of nearly 800/. per annum.
R. W. W. SIMPSON has received instructions
from the Proprietor to OFFER for SALE by AUCTION,
at the Bell Inn, Haverhill, on Thump/ix, Sept. 24, at ten for Eleven
precisely, in thirty-eight lots, . _

A most favourable FREEHOLD ESTATE (a small portion only
copyhold), the arable and pasture lands of which, with few excep-

tions, are of a high class quality. A Farm of eighty-seven acres,
forming a portion of the property, lying adjacent to the town, is let
to Mr. Louis Arthur Harrison, a highly respectable tenant, and
partakes more or less of the character of accommodation lands to
the town of Haverhill. It will be sold with the other portions of the
estate, about one mile distant from the town, in fields, and such lots
as will adapt themselves and be most desirable for local purchasers.
The estate, including the land, malthouse, residences, shops, cottages,
&c., will be divided into 38 lots. The thirst for the possession of
lands adjoining the town of Haverhill is such, that in small portions
near the town 'they let at rents which, although apparently high,
are, from the accommodation afforded to the inhabitants, rendered
permanent.

Particulars, with plans annexed, may be obtained of William
Burleigh, Esq., solicitor, Haverhill; J. R. Chidley, Esq., solicitor,
6, Guilphall-chambers, Basinghall-street; and of Mr. W. W. Simpson,

FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE NEW HOUSES Or
PARLIAMENT.—Yesterday after noon between three and
four o'clock an accident of a fearful character occurred
at the new Houses of Parliament. It appears that
whilst one of the large hods filled with bricks was being
hoisted by means of some machinery used for that pur...-
pose, the rope either broke or became disarranged, se
that the hod and its contents fell to the ground with tt
tremendous crash, the whole mass fulling upon the
bodies of two of the workmen, one named Richard
Shannon and the other John Brown, a young man aged
29, of Holland-street, Westminster. As soon as possible
the men were extricated, when a most dreadful scene
presented itself. The poor fellow Brown, was found
with his head and face frightfully mangled and dis-
figured, the blood was issuing from the temples, and the
eyes were nearly forced from the sockets. The men
.wero removed to Westminster Hospital, when it was as,
certained that with the exception of a few severe contu-
sions Shannon had escaped uninjured. Brown was placed
under the care of the surgeon, but notwithstanding that
everything was dono for him he never rallied, and death.
in the space of one hour terminated his sufferings, The,
