RISE IN THE VALUE or HIGHLAND
PROPERTY. —The smill estate of Kinhaird, near Moulin.
exteodin4 to a.,out eighteen acres, was sold by puldie
roup it Dunkeld last week, and, after keen competition,
brought upwards of 50 years' purchase of the gross
rental.—Perth Co. rier.

At the last Drawing-room there were two
more fashionable debutantes of distinction, Z. e. the Lady
Rosa NUGENT, only daughter of the Marquis of WEST-
MEATH, niece to the Marquis of SALISBURY, and grand
daughier of the Dowager Marchioness ; and Lady MARY
GERALDINE TALBOT, daughter and coheiress of the Earl
of SHREWSBURY, premier Earl of the empire.
LIVERPOOL. THE INFLUENZA. This
curious disorder, which has been raging in London for
some weeks, attacking, like love, " both high and low,
great people and the small," suspending the dinner parth
of the Duchess of KENT. driving Lord ALTHORY, and
even Mr. HUME, from their posts—giving the thieves at
the Old Bailey a chance of escape, by pouncing upon the
RECORDER-putting an end to the pirouettes at the Opera,
and the legitimate drama at Drury-lane and Covent-gar-
den—and more than decimating the new police—has
travelled as far north as Liverpool, where it is now firmly
established. It seems to be .(pally unceremonious here,
running through whole families, and attacking man,
worn in, and child. Happily it does not appear to be at all
dangerous, though we can bear witness, fi urn our own
experience, that the head-aches, p ibis in the back and
limbs, soreness in the throat, and other symptoms of the
disease, are extremely disagreeable. Coining, however,
after the epidemic of last year, it seems nothing ; and, as
the man with the gout, thanked Heaven that he had the
gout and not the stone, so we may feel equally thankful
that we have got the influenza, aud not the cholera.—

STEAM-OMNIBUS.—Monday afternoon an
omnibus worked by steam, on a new and ingenious prin-
ciple, was tried on the Paddington-road. The inventor
is Mr. WALTER HANCOCK, of Stratford-le-Bow, who has
obtained a patent for his very useful discovery. The ma-
chine altogether does not exceed the space which an
ordinary omnibus with horses attached would occupy, end
the appearance is peculiarly neat. The body is capable of
accommodating fourteen persons, the engine dividing that
from the furnace in the rear. The passengers experience
no inconvenience from hear, and coke being the fuel
employ, d there is no annoyance by smoke. The engine
works on a crank, not on the axle, and the propelling
power is applied to the wheels by means of iron clia,n,
The chief recommendation, that which timid persons will
consider most, is that there can be no possibility of explo-
sion. The propelling power is equal to from fifteen to
tweiry miles an hour, but even when the steam is raised
to its very highest pressure there is no risk, the water be-
ing deposited in several ;inn pipes, or what are termed
chamber boilers, with a valve to carry off the superfluous
steam. The guide, who sits in front, has complete con-
trol of the vehicle, and can arrest its progress instantane-
ously. It left the Patent Steam Coach Company's yard,
in Charles-street, City-road, at four o'clock, with a full
complement of passengers, chiefly ladies, guided in this
instance by Mc. Ilmicocx, the patentee. At first it
proceeded at a pace of about six miles an hour; but
having cleared the crowd, who assembled in large num-
bers to witness the exhibition, the velocity was increated
to the rate of ten miles an hour. It is intended to ply
regularly from Paddington to the Bank.
