LADY JOHN RussELL,—We are by to h
that the accounts of her Ladyship's health coappntinue ofear a
favourable nature, and it is thought a few weeks will entirely
restore that amiable lady to her general health.
LORD ROSSE'S TELESCOPE.— We are informed by a
Rev. Gentleman who lately visited Birr Castles and expe-
rienced the courteous attention of its noble owner, in being
conducted by his Lordship through his extensive workshops,
and in a minute examination of the " monster" telescope.,,a
stupendous monument of scientific skill and mechanical
contrivance—that the colossal tube, in length above fifty
feet, and in diameter nearly eight feet, is now suspended in
its permanent position, between the two walls of solid
masonry, built to correspond with the architecture of the
castle. It is attached at its lower extremity—where the
speculum, weighing tour tons, is to be placed"—by a massive
universal joint of beautiful workmanship, and weighing
nearly three tons • and its counterpoise, about seven tons
weigh‘ is so skilidully contrived and adjusted that it easily
adapts itself to every alteration in any required elevation or
depression of the instrument. At the time ofour informant's
visit, the speculum was in the actual peocess of being ground,
which, together with the subsequent polishing, would
cupy, perhaps, a fortnight—so that, in about a month AT six
weeks from the present time, the public anxiety will, pro-
bably, be gratified in learning the Zrat ‘vsults, upon which It is impossible to calculate. •,-)T (tu undertaking which, we may
confidently. expeetel l'Pliound no less to our national hg,

The information that a treaty has been at last signed be-
tween this country and Hanover, by which the long-disputed
questions relative to the Stade Duties, have been settled, has
given general satisfaction to mercantile men who are interested
in the matter in this metropolis. It is also to be remarked,
that the duties in future to be imposed upon our, manufac-
tures, &c., are fully as liberal as was anticipated. No doubt,
under the new system, there will be a large commercial inter-
course between this country and Hanover, and through it
with the other large and important mercantile towns on the
Continent. In this way, it is more than probable, that the
restrictive policy which is still upheld, may be ameliorated,
and that the principles of liberalism, which have been com-
menced by us, will be extended among the European codes of
duties.
