13R•DFORD.—MUNIFICENT Girr.—John Hardy,
Esq., late Member for Bradford, has presented to the
Bev. Dr. Burnet, vicar of that parish, the sum of 6,000/.,
for the purpose of church building and endowment.
ROYAL ARTILLEIR T.—An order has just been issued
reducing the height at which young men will be enlisted
for the artillery service from 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet
8 inches, their age being between 18 and 22.
CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.—We have
learned from authority that this line will positively be
opened for public traffic on Monday, the Ist of May.
All possible exertions are made by the contractors to
complete and clear the line of all the " working mate-
rials," &c., for the approaching event. The line (we
are told) is in excellent working condition, so far as the
Conway embankment; and the stations are in a very
forward state, and, it is fully expected, will be completed
by the appointed day. Heavy trains have traversed the
line from Chester to Conway, almost daily, since the
month of January last. Two locomotives and tenders
passed down the line to Conway, and having been taken
to pieces, and conveyed over the suspension. bridge, are
now traversing the line from Conway to the Bangor sta-
tion. Other locomotives are already placed on the line
through the Isle of Anglesea. The " monster tube" over
the Conway was, this week, successfully raised, and is
now suspended to the enormous beams connected with
the hydraulic engines, fifteen inches above its perma-
nent level, to make room for the masons to build the
stone pier, on which it is to rest, and a great number of
hands are employed

PRESERVATION OF 0RDER......1t has been suggested
that shoutoldbatrhreacCkhLartist agitation continue gentlemen
edini.eli:ngcoln's Inn, who have been sworn in special con-
stables, should volunteer their services as an armed
company, disposable by the Government. It is pro-
posed that each of the gentlemen of that society, wil-
ling to serve (of whom more than four hundred mus-
tered as special constables last Monday in the garden),
should, after providing himself with a plain forage cap
and dark frock and trousers of a uniform colour, apply
to the proper military authority for a supply of arms
and accoutrements similar to those furnished to the
outpensioners. The Learned and Gallant Bencher who
acts as commander of the special constables of this
society would, doubtless, afford his services as chief of
such a corps.
