On SATURDAY, the 2d of May, Mr. COLBURN
will have the honour to publish the FIRST NUMBER
of a NEW WEEKLY PAPER, to be called
THE COURT JOURNAL.

The leading and peculiar Oject of this Publication vs,ll
be, to supply what has long been felt as a desideratum, it,
the Higher Circles of the British Metropolis. Its p-,geo
will furnish a mingled Record and Review of all matters
and events (Political subjects alone excepted) which are
calcUlated to interest that class of readers who come within
what is undeistood by " The Court Circle." Such will
be the peculiar, but by no means the sole object of " The
Court Journal." It will, in fact, embrace every featu're
which favourably distinguished the most approved Literary
Journals of the day. The Conductors deem it unnecessary
to put forth a formal Prospectus. Their work, when it
appears, will speak for itself; and it will do so in a man-
ner which will render it impossible for any one to mistake
the nature of its resources, and the class of patronage
under which it is ushered into the world ; or to doubt
that these are such as were never before possessed by a
Public Journal.

" The Court Journal" will appear every Saturday
Morning, handsomely printed on a quarto sheet of sixteen
pages, containing 48 columns, price Sd., or stamped far
circulation in the Country, free of postage, Is.
Orders received by all Booksellers and Newsvenders, and
by the Clerks of the Roads.
Communications for the Editor may be addressed to the
care of Mr. Colburn.

Advertisements :should be sent to the Office, No. 19,
Catherine-street, Strand.

THE THAMES TUNNEL.

A very numerous meeting of Shareholders in this un-
dertaking- was held at the City of Loudon Tavern, Wm.
SMITH, M P., in the Chair.

The CHAIRMAN said the Pr,prietors had been convened
under rather extraordinary circumstances, viz., to consider
of a proposition submitted to the Directors for completing
the work by contract. He moved that the report which
had been drawn up should be read.
Mr. BUTLER, the clerk, read the report.
The CHAIRMAN alluded to the state of the Company's
finances, but (wherry" that if the 'funnel waa-w iu►u-
pleterl they might never expect to see any return for the
capital advanced.
Mr. WOLLASTON said the estimate made by Lord Al-
thorp to the Duke of Wellington was over-stated, his Lord.
ship having stated that se,OOOL would be required to
complete the tunnel. He entered into some details to
prove that so large a sum would not be wanted. He spoke
strongly against persons being allowed to make experiments
on the tunnel, and was of opinion that the work should be
completed, as it had been begun, and moved a resolution to
that effect.

➢ir. flAwEs (a Director) spoke warmly in favour of
the resolution.

Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON (a Director), and several
other Proprietors, addressed the Meeting.
Mr. SWEET thought that if it were supposed at head-
quarters that another engineer than Mr. Brunel was to ho
employed, the assistance from Government might be with.
held.
It was then resolved to adjourn the Meeting.

It was confidently reported in the Court of
Chancery yesterday that the SoLtaTon-GicalEaAL is to
succeed Sir Wat. Bier, as Chief Justice of the Common
Pleas.

ILLNESS O' MR. KEAN.—For several day&
past this gentleman has been indisposed at the Royal
Hotel, Kingstown, by a continuance of the spasmodic
affection which had prevented his performance in Cork.
He had been a few nights since in so dangerous a state,
that his dissolution was momentarily expected ; and his
son, AIN KEAN, jun., on learning his condition; had to
repair to Kingstown, at midnight, with all possible expe.
dition. We are most happy to learn, that his health Is
now so much improved that he is able to leave- his bed.—
