TO CIVIL ENGINEERS.

THE situation of ENGINEER to the
Commissioners for the Improvement of the River
Wear and Port and Haven of Sunderland, in the County
Palatine of Durham, being vacant in consequence of the
gentleman lately elected to that office having accepted a
situation el.etvhere (hut which was not known at the
time of his election), the Commissioners, therefore, 'rake
known to such Candidates as may not have already sent
testimonials of their qualification, that they may send the
same to Mr. Davidson, solicitor, the Clerk.to the Commis-
sioners, at his office, in 'Villiers-street, Bishopwearmouth
(postage and carriage paid), on or before the 18th day of
April instant, after which time none can be duly consi-
dered, the Election being appointed to take place on the
25th day of the same month, at the Comtnission-room, in
the Exchange-buildin,:at, Sunderland, at Twelve o'clock.
The situation in question being of very great impor-
tance, it is expected that the successful Candidate will
reside constantly at the Commissioners' house, on Sunder-
land Pier, and will devote his whole attention to the duties
of his office. And it is requested that none may offer
themselves as Candidates, but persons of sobriety and
strict integrity, who have been regularly brought up to the
Profession of an Engineer, and come recommended by
known and eminent Engineers, and who have studied the
theory and operation of the tides, and of sea and land
floods on navigable rivers ; they must also be well ac-
quainted with building under water, the construction of
piers and piles and otherwise, the management of ma-
chines for dredging by steam and hopper ves,els, the con-
struction of lighthouses, crane-work, and every other ope-
ration connected with the improvement of a sea-port
An active young or middle-aged man would be preferred,
and the salary will he 300/. a year, with a d
house, coals and candles provided, and taxes paid by the
Commissioners.
All those who were Candidates, and personally appeared
at the election on the 7th day of March last, are not
required again to attend the Commissioners; but it is
necessary that they shall give notice to Mr. Davidson at
least three days previously to the day of Election, of their
intention of accepting the office, if elected, and of imme-
diately entering upon the duties thereof.

At Stourbridge Great Horse Fair last week,
the show of horses was considered to be below the usual
average, both in number and quality. Those of the inferior
description
of course greatly preponderated, at which buyers
purchasers, were not to be fonnd at scarcely any terms- There were ready
however, for the few of the superior class of nags
exhibited, and

The Ministers in the House of Commons
have been harassed and frightened of late by
their own radical friends. They dare not face
these Bill-supporters as antagonists, and when
notice is given by any of them of an untoward
motion, they evade it by taking care that " no
House" shall be made. In this way they have
twice choked Col. Torrens, and have baffled Mr.
Robinson, and have thrown poor Alderman
Waithman overboard. All of these gentlemen,
their steady Reform adherents, have given no-
tice of motions which our gifted Ministers are
not well able to grapple with. On Friday last a
new assailant was to have presented himself.
Mr. Cutlar Fergusson announced his intention
of putting a question relating to Poland on the
motion for going into the Committee of Supply.
This was quite enough to make the govern-
ment determine not to go into the Com-
mittee of Supply on that night. In good truth
there will he some difficulty for these Ministers
in this question about Poland. The case stands
thus :--13‘; the first article of the Treaty of Vi-
enna (9th June, 1815) it is provided--

That the Duchy of Warsaw is united to the Russian
empire, to which it shall be irrevocably attached by its
Constitution, and be possessed by his Majesty the Emperor
of all the Russias and his successors in perpetuity. His
Imperial Majesty reserves to himself to give to this State,
enjoying a distinct administration, the interior improve-
ment which he shall think proper. He shall assume, with
his other titles, that of Catr, King of Poland, agreeably to
the form established for the titles attached to his other
possessions. The Poles, who are respective subjects of
Russia, Austria, and Prussia, shall obtain a representative
and national institution, regulated according to the degree
of political consideration that each of the Governments
to which they belong shall judge expedient and proper to
grant them."

It will probably be contended by Mr. Fer-
,usson that under this treaty, to which all the
Great Powers in Europe are parties, there is a
positive and unconditional engagement to grant
a representative and national institution to the
Poles, whatever may be the power reserved to
their rulers of regulating or modifying the insti-
tutions so to be conceded ; and we presume that
our Government will be urged to interfere in
order to compel the execution of this part of the
treaty. We will not anticipate the reply of Lord
Talleyrand Palmerston ; but we think that the
Emperor of Russia will have something to al-
lege on his part on the score of having been com-
pelled to make war upon these Poles, and to
reduce them by an expensive and sanguinary
conquest to their present state of submission.
But we look forward with much curiosity to the
discussion on Mr. Fergusson's motion, if it be
not smothered in good time.—Morning Post.
