TIIE ESCAPE FROM NOTTINGHAM GAOL.--We
learn from the police, just as we are going to press, that one
of the escaped convicts, or a person supposed to be one, has
been apprehended at a distance from Nottingham of nearly
two hundred miles. Whitworth, the constable, has been dis-
patched to prove the man's identity. It is supposed to be Smith.
—Nottingham Review.

"Junius" s .ys, "'The balance equally prepon-
derates, whether you take from one scale or add
to the other." Now what I would suggest would
be, not as Mr. Aiwa:: would do, take, frotra
scale, viz„ dockia7 off one-third of the silver from
a shilling', but I woald adapt a new itrtpc -
rial pint, the capacity of which should be one-
third larger than the present one, and that
there should be the same number of pints as in
the present imperial bushel, it is very clear that
the new bushel would be one-thh.d larger than
the present one; now, according to Mr. Muntz,
a little shilling is as good as a large shilliug ; time
only thing necessary being that it shall be a
shilling by name—no matte: about its pondero-
sity. Now, my new measure will still be
a! bushel; and as it will still be a bushel,
no matter as to its capacity, this very simple
alteration I feel perfectly satisfied will insure the
corn-grower 7s, Gd. per bushel for his wlreat, even
against all free trade in corn, Leaguers and else.
Both coins and bushels are measures—the
former of ponderosity, the latter of capacity ;
therefore, if there be any truth the assertion
of " Junius," it matters not ‘vhether we take one-
third from the coin or add orne-third to the
bushel. Don't hint one word about. my having an
intention to make a spec. before4l..and in thee pur-
chase of tithe-rent charges—neitber does Mr.
Muntz say one word that his proposition amounts
to paving off all old debts at 13s. Id. in the
pound.
No one scarcely thinks now-a-days for him-
self as to what are the common principles and
operations 'of money; therefiwe, they are the
more easily gulled. People little think that the
alteration in the weight of coins would make no
difference whatever in regard to all contracts
made and entered after the issue of a new light
coin, as all agreements would be made on time
foot of the new measure of the coin; but when old
contracts are to be discharged its the tale of the
new light coin, it amounts neither more.norless
than to a diabolical robbery.—Yours.
GORDIUS.

NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH

IN LAMBETH.

This builcing, which is ,ituated in the Westminster-read,
near the Blind Asylum and Ilethlehem Hospital, is rapidly
approaching completion. The foundation-stone was laid in
April, 1840. It is the largest ecclesiastical edifice devoted to
the Roman Catholic worship that has been constructed since
the Reformation, when Henry VIII. destroyed and reduced
the majority of the Catholic establishments. Its external
dimensions ale 250 long, by 84 feet wide. The height of the
tower at the west end at present is 60 feet, but when com-
pleted its extreme elevation will be 331) feet above the ground
level. The tower is most substantially built of Caen
stone, its walls averaging nine feet in thickness.
The tower will be surmounted by a steeple, built after the
pattern of the spire of Salisbury Cathedral, and will be termi-
nated by a large cross. The interior height of the church, from
floor to ceiling. is 57 feet. The length of the nave in the clear
is 160 feet, by 72 feet broad ; the chancel is 40 feet long by 25
feet broad. The chancel window is very large, measuring
31) feet. by 18 feet ; the mullior,s are of oak, with rich foliage ;

he interstices will be filled with stained glass of various colours,
containing an emblematical representatioei of the history and
passion of our Lord. It is the gift of the :Earl of Shrewsbury,
and will cost 5001. The church contains, in all, 28 win-
dows. The roof is constructed of carved, stained tim-
ber, which will be stencilled in various colours and devices.
It is supported by two rows of fluted stone pillars, consisting
of eight in each row. The pillars are eighteen ilset in height,
and will be finished by capitals elaborately wrooglit in fine
stone, carved in rich foliage, and connected one w;th another
by small intereolumniat ions, in the form of arches, rising from
the capitals to the rafters. The floor of the nave and aisles will
be covered with red and blue Staffordshire tiles, each the
measuring six inches in the square. The interior of the
Church is not obstructed by galleries ; the only projections are•
the organ-loft and two sting galleries for the choir over the
two side doorways at the east. end. No pews or closed seats
will be allowed, but open benches will be placed down the
aisles, constructed with low backs, so as to afford an unobstructed
view of the interior. The seats will yield ample at:commode-
tien fer boo persons. The bare cost of erecting the cathedral
will be 40,000/., but it is expected that a sum of 100,0001, will
be necessary to complete all the contemplated embellishments
and improvi ments.
At the east end of the church is a large sacristy, and adjoin-
ing, at the north-east corner, are cloisters, which connect the
edifice with a presbytery, containing a spacious dining-room,
and affording accommodation for several priests. Abutting on
this is a convent for the Sisters of Mercy, and a school for 300
children. The convent is tilted up with kitchens, refectory,
dormitories, a small chapel with a belfry, and will furnish an
abode for thirteen Sisters of Mercy, whose charity and kind
offices will be distributed indiscriminately among the members
of all religious denominations who may need assistance. The
convent, with its accompanying buildings, will cost 7,0001.
The entire ed.fice is built from the design of Mr. Pugin,
under the superintendence of Mr. Myers, who, during the
last ten years, has been engsged in the construction of 37
churches. The cathedral will lie consecrated and opened
for public worship in the autumn of the present year ; but a
considerable time must necessarily elapse before the great
tower and spire shall be completed. The subscriptions to-
wards this great undertaking- have, for the most part, been
raised in the provinces through the exertions of the Rev,.
rend Mr. Doyle, who is the principal offiziating priest. The
Earl of Shrewsbury and the late Mr. Benjamin George
Hodges have been the principal contributors. A considerable
gum has also been subscribed by the poorer classes inhabiting
the parish of St. George. The names of the King of Snrdinia,
the King of Bohemia, and other foreign Potentates, also figure
largely in the list of contributors. A liberal donation is ex-
pected from Louis Philippe, the King of the French, who,
during his stay in •England, was a resident of St. George's
parish. The cathedral is the largest structure in Great Bri-
tain that has been erected by voluntary subscriptions.
