showing the actual state of the port, and as affording
the basis for improvements ; but also to be preserved as
documents for reference hereafter, in order to determine
at any future time what changes may have taken place.
Your commission cannot close their report without
expressing, in the strongest terms, their conviction, that
immediate measures for detailed inquiry and local exa•
mination into the state and condition of every port and
navigable river 'of the United Kingdom, are indispensa-
bly necessary, with a view to that thorough superin-
tendence, without which many of the evils already re-
cited are liable to recur.
And when they consider the great want of accessible
harboers along the whole of the coasts of your Majesty's
dominions—more especially when the extended use of
steam navigation points to such great changes in mari-
time affairs, whereby every sheltered creek is likely to
become of value—and when they consider that, by the
improvement of our tidal harbours, your Majesty's
beneficent intentions for the preservation of the 'lives
and property of a large class of your Majesty's subjects
may be best fulfilled, they earnestly trust that no minor
consideration may be allowed to impede the accomplish-
ment of objects of such national importance.
All which we humbly certify to your Majesty.
W. BOWLES, Itear-Aomiral, M.P., Chairman.

October, 9, 1844. _ _ .

Sir,---For the last three or four years lhave been labouring under
a nervous dearness, so much so at times as to be almost incapable Cl
hearing. After trying several very eminent aurists, from whom I de-
rived scarcely any relief, I was induced at the solicitation of a friend,
to try your excellent Eye Snuff. I accordingly procured one of your
4s. 4d. canisters, after taking which I found considerable benefit, so
much so that I sent for two more, which, having used, I found my
hearing completely restored, and I have not been deaf since. I should
mention that the time I commenced taking your Eye Snuff was in
April last, and have continued taking it aincs.—l am, Sir, your obe-
dient servant, W. 11. ADAMS.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—About one o'clock on
Thursday last Mr. Dawson, town-traveller to Mr. Calvert, an
extensive dealer in bandannas, of Ludgate-hill, was robbed of
five parcels, containing a variety of silk goods, to the value of
upwards of 701., in the following manner :—Whilst going to
dine at a tavern in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel,
Dawson left a young man named Edward Wood, who usually
took charge of his parcels, in care of his property at a neigh-
bouring public-house. He was surprised, on returning in
about an hour, to find that Wood was not there. He however
had no apprehension that the lad had absconded, and awaited
his return for a considerable time. At length Mr. Dawson
began to feel alarm for the safety of the property, and hastened
to his employer's, where, after relatingq the circumstance, he
proceeded to the residence of the boy's parents, at Camden-
gardens, Bethnal-green, who had heard nothing of him during
the day. Mr. Dawson then proceeded to Denmark-street
wation-house, St. George's-in-the-East, and lodged informa-
tion against the lad.
13ocking,ham Palace, during the absence of the
Court from town, is to undergo various embellishments and
alt„ations. The grand hall is to be decorated somewhat in
the style of the Royal Pavilion, Buckingham Gardens ; and in
the north wing alterations are to be forthwith made.
BARTHOLOMEW AND BARNET FAIRS.—On Friday
the Lord Mayor ordered the issue of printed proclamations in
the usual form for the establishment and regulation of Barth° •
lomew Fair, including that for the prohibition of gambling, the
appointment of the Court of Pie Pavire, the arrangement of
the stalls, &c. The latter, it is understood, will be even less
numerous than those of last year, so that it is anticipated that
this ancient fair, by so many deemed a nuisance, will ere long
die a natural death.'"l3arnet fair, on the contrary, will this year
be extended, and will also have a larger supply of horses and
cattle than on any preceding year,

To Mr. W. Grimstone
Any quantity of Eye snuff can he forwarded through the General
Post, by sending money orders. A 2s. 4d. canister, with directions.
will cost 35.. and so on in like proportion

RAILWAY BILLS.—RAILWAYS.—On Friday a re-
turn, obtained by Mr. Gibson Craig, was printed of all Bills of
the late sessions for railways, with the amount of the estimates
of the capital stock, and of the sum allowed to be borrowed for
each railway, and the total amount of the estimates, capital
stock, and styes authorised to be borrowed for all such
railways. It appears that the estimated expense of
52 railways set forth in the return is 43,339,325/. The capital
stock is stated at 44.741,2001., and the money authorised to be
borrowed 14,872,326/. Mr. Moffatt, tha new Member for
Dartmouth, has also obtained a return (which was yesterday
issued) of the number of Acts which have passed in the session;
the length of each line ; the number of shares, and the amount
of capital subscribed for each ; the number of new shares that
each line is empowered to create ; and the sum of money each
line is empowered to borrow. The length of the lines are
2,746 m. 6f. and 4c. The number of shares subscribed for
is 723,819 ; the amount of capital subscribed 31,89),4741. ;
the number of shares empowered to be crated, 927,697 ; and
the money empowered to be borrowed 13,678,0381.
A mustachioed Yagabon,i, name,' Arthur Cowling,
was ientencod by Mr. Painter, the Hammersmith magistrate,
to two months' hard labour, for assaulting a little girl, and en-
deavouring to intimidate her into giving him money.
