CEMENT-MOST IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE

- -
INVENTION.
P ARCHITECTS,. Engineers, Contractors,
T Bui!ders, Masons,. Plasterers, and the Trade, snd also
to Shippers. THE PATENT STUCCO PAINT CEMENT,
surpassing every article hitherto introduced, possesses the fol-
lowing extraordinary and valuable properties. Remarkable
adhesiveness, fixing most tenaciously to the smoothest surfaces
(even to glass). It is perfectly impervious to wet or damp.
The more it is exposed to the atmosphere, the harder and more
durable it becomes. It is perfectly free from any of the caustic
qualities of lime, and it may therefore be painted upon as soon
as dry, as it is impossible that it can vegetate or change colour,
nor can it be affected by frost or heat, or crack chip, or
peel off. To Merchants and Shippers, it must form a most
important item of commerce, as it will keep for any length of
time, as fresh as delivered from the manufactory ; with regard
to price, it is cheaper than any other Cement, and its lasting
qualities, render it.a fortune to builders and others investing
capital in building speculations.
The Patentees have appointed Messrs. Mann and Co., 5,
Maiden-lane, Queen-street, Cheapside, their sole agents, at
whose warehouses any quantity may be had, specimens may be
seen, and every information afforded.

COURT OF QUEEN BEACH, May 25.

MANDAMUS. - BECKWITH V. THE TOWN COUNCIL OF

NORWICH.
A rule for a mandamus had been granted by the Court to
compel the payment of an amount of compertsation awarded bi
the Lords of the Treasury to thy pl ho was Town-clerk
of Norwich. He was, together with his office of Town-clerk,
employed in the capacity of solicitor to the Charities, arid
visitor .to Lunatic Houses, in the town of Noiwich. In
It3:f6 he was ranoved from the office, and be then sent in a
claim to the Town Council fir compensation, and they aired
3651. a-year. The plaintiff w.is dissatisfied with this, and the
case was beard before the Lords of the Treasury on appeal, acd
they decided that the plaintiff was entitled to compensation to
the amount of .169/. a-year.
The Soucirom-GcNattAL, with whom wa, Mr. Watson,
opposed the rule on the part of the Towo Council.. Although
the plaintiff had been deprived of his oak, a own-clerk. the
parties.ohu had since been appointed trus.ce: t he Charities
had eta; loyed the plaintiff, in his private ca;-a .'ty as a soli-
citor, to conduct the legal business of the Clc.rit ies. He was
not, therefore, entitles to compeination, inasmuch as he had
sustained no actual loss, although be had 1-,,eu ientived
his office.

Ti.e ATTOILNEY •GENEItAL, in reply, c.mtentled that the
rule shuitld u, made ai-i,oltite, a, the employment of the plain-
tiff in his private capacity, as a solicitor, might determine at
a day's notice. Thi, was not a question as to whether coin-
fentation ought to be awarded, as that had ileen decided ; the
unity question was one of amount. The fact of the plaintiff
having been employed in the same office in his private capacity
of solicitor, might be a consideration in awarding the amount
of compensation ; but their Lordships had no reasosi to suppose
that the consideration had not been entered into by the Lords
of the Treasury, in awarding the sum of 496/. t-year.
Air. F. KELLY appeared on the same side, and supported the
rule. _ _

Their LORDSHIPS held that this case was precisely the same
as the 13ricigewater ea,e. The question was altogether a matter
of amount, and 6e Court had therefore nu control over it;
but it was entirely a • matter for the consideration of the Lords
of the Treasury.—Rule made absolute.

IMPROVED STREET PAVING.
A. N. A.SSOCIA.TION has Ution fht•rned in the
PARISH of ST. MARYLEBONE (patronised by a
highly respectable Committee, who number 'amongst their
members Lord, Nugent, Sir George Cayley, Bart., t'ir George
Staunton, Bart., M.P., General Alexander, and Charles
Cochrane, Esq., to the latter of whom has been confided the
Presidency of the same), for the purpose of giving an impulse
to the progressive adoption of the much-approved system of
of wood-paving the carriage-ways of the metropolis.—lt ap-
pears that, notwithstantling the now almost universally acknow-
ledged preference of wood-paved, over Macadamized or stone-
paved, carriage-ways, yet the existing 'interests of street-
paviors and road-makers, and the strong prejudices which are
unfortunately opposed to any change whatever, combine to ac-
count fur the otherwise unaccountable obstructions opposed by
parish and other local bodies to the gradual adoption of the im-
provements suggested in compliance with the popular wish.
The limits of a paragraph will not admit of dilating upon the
details of the Association referred to; it may, however, be
confidently stated, that from what has already transpired with
reference to the acts of the St. Marylebone Vestry, the neces-
sity for an establishment of the sort was imperative ; and it is
to be hoped, that as nothing but good in the way of improving
the streets of the metropolis can be anticipated from it, so the
advantages of such an establishment will speedily be extended
to alt the metropolitan districts.

LIQUID HAlti DYE.—The thousands of individuals who
have had the pleasure of using Spencer's Chinese Liquid Hair Dye,
pronounce it to be the only Dye extant which will effectually change,
in a tea minutes, red or grey hair to a iark brown or black, and it
can be proved incontestibly that it is the safest dye In its use that
ever Was prepared. Red or grey hair, whiskers, eyebrows, MOUS-
!aches &c , are changee. without trouble, by simply using a comb
wetted with the liquid; ona application will produce a t leasing and
apermanent change. The colour it imparts to the hair can never he
discovered to have been eff'scted by dye, it being so perfectly natural,
and neither washing, perspiration, or anything will in the least fade
or affect the colour produced. Hundreds of ladies who wore false
hair, benause their own became grey, wear now their own. Also,
thousands of gentlemen who had grey or red whiskers, which was a
great disfigurement, have become quite dark from the use of
SPENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE. Any lady or gen-
tleman may dye their Hair with ease and secrecy in a few minutes
without trouble. Price 3s. fid., 6a, and 10s. per b

PAISLEY.

Since the month of July in last year the labouring
population of Paisley has been suffering from distress,
caused by the stagnation of trade, and the consequent
failure of a large number of firms in that borough.
This distress continued with great severity through-
out the winter, and the spring has not brought that
increased demand for goods which might have been
expected.
Some of the more skilful weavers have indeed pro-
cured employment,. but a large portion of the popula-
tion still remain dependent on charity.
As many as 1'2,000 persons have been maintained
for several months from the contributions collected in
England and Scotland, and even in India.
The poor-law of Scotland, as now administered,
confers no effectual right to relief upon men who
are able to work, or upon their families ; at present,
therefore, the legal provision for the relief of the
destitute in Scotland is not applicable to this class of
persons, and even if it had been so applicable, the
pressure of so large a number of men without work
must soon have absorbed a considerable proportion of
the property in the borough.
The' subscriptions raised in this country, in the
county of Renfrew, the city of Edinburgh, and other
parts of Scotland, are all expended.
Thus no legal mode of effectually relieving this
mass of destitution exists, and the charitable feelings of
those connected with the place have been taxed to the
utmost.
It may be added that these sufferings have for the
most part fallen on i class of workmen whose general
earnings, even in prosperous times, are insufficient to
allow of any provision for future difficulties, and that
tbey have been borne with patience and fortitude.
