This very superior and important Freehold Estate presents a
most desirable opportunity to capitalists and others, either for
occupation or investment, the land being of a valuable descrip-
tion, in a highly-respectable neighbourhood, haring the advan-
tage of good roads, and adjoins the estates of Lord Carrington,
Wm. Morris, Esq., George Mountford, Esq., and others. The
tithes have been commuted, the outgoings are exceedingly mo-
derate, and absolute possession of the entire property may be
had at Lady-day next.
Printed and otherparticulars 'ill shortly appear; and maps,
descriptive of the lots, may be seen at the office of Messrs.
Edye and Farmer, Solicitors, Montgomery ; and for any other
information respecting the est-ite apply to James Wakeman,
Esq., Solicitor, Woicester, who is authorised to allow greater
part of the purchase-money to remain on mortgage, at a re-
duced rate of interest.

IILVE It SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
►►xJ and injurious metals called Nickel and German Silver
supplanted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless
ALIIATA PL kTE. C. WATSON Cate ALDERAI AN)
41 and 42, Barbican, aided by a person of science in the amal-
gation of metals, has succeeded in bringing to public notice the
most beautiful article ever yet offered : possessing all the rich-
ness of Silver in appearance—with its durability and hardness
—with its perfect (weetness in use—undergoing, as it does, a
chem'cal process, by which all that is.naseous in mixedmetals is
entirely extracted—resist ng all acid;, may be cleaned as Silver,
and is manufactured into every article for the Table and Side-
board.

C. Watson begs the Public will understand that this metal
is peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from
Gold, than his metal is from all others ; on its intrinsic merits
alone he wishes it to be tested. And from the daily increasing
eulogiums he receives, he is convinced that nothing can prevcnt
its becoming an article of universul wear.

MEETING OF JOURNEYMEN
CURRIERS.

At a MEETING, held on Friday night, at the CROWN
and ANCHOR, King's Head-court, Shoe-lane, Fleet-street, of
the JOURNEYME•N CURRIERS in LONDON, to take into
c-msideration the measures proposed by Sir Robert Peel, it was
resolved unanimousty,-
1. That this Meeting views, with deep regret, the tariff pro-
posed by Sir Robert Peel, as any reduction of the duty on
foreign curried leather will be most injurious to the Journeymen
Carriers of this country.
2. That this Meeting considers that the reduction of any of
the duty en foreign-made boots and shoes,_ will have a direct
tendency to injure the interests of both the Master and Jour-
neymen Curriers.
3. That it is the opinion of this Meeting, that if the tariff be
carried into effect, as propose d by Sir R. Peel, it wou'd para-
lyse the commercial and trading interests of this country, and
ruin thousands of the middle classes; and throw hundreds of
thousands of working men out of employment. As these facts
have been admitted by Sir It. Peel, in one of his speeches-' and
not a single word said about how the persons thus ruined and
thrown out of work shall be provided for, this Meeting further
resolves—

That it has no confidence in the Minister that would attempt
such dangerous and visionary experiments, and tamper with the
best interests of the country, while them are so many easier
and better methods of making up the deficiency of the revenue.
4. That this Meeting get up a Petition to Parliament found-
ed on the foregoing Resolutions.

BRIGHTON.

APRIL 2.—ln opoing the case before the Bench of
Brighton MagistrateS; on Friday, Mr. S. W. Bennett, a
solicitor at Brighton," niore than once applied the term
"coward" to Captain Macleod, for kicking the bailiff
when, his back being turned, he was not in a situation
to defend himself. Captain Adams, another officer of.
the Greys, delivered a letter this day, of which the fol-
lowing is a copy, to Mr. Bennett :
" Brighton, April 2, 1842, One P.M.
Sir,—You applied to my conduct in a case of assault,
tried before the Bench of Magistrates yesterday the term
cowardly,' and declared that in committing the said as-
sault I had shown myself a coward. In this assertion
you persisted, in spite of a reprimand from the Magii.
mates, thereby taking the responsibility of that language
upon yourself. I therefore demand a written retracta-
tion of the same, or, that you will arrange with my
friend, Captain Adams; the means of giving me satisfac-
tion. "I am Sir, your obedient servant,
" D. J. MACLEOD.

" To Bennett, Esq., Middle-street."
" Mr. Bennett immediately applied to Major Allen,
one of the Brighton Magistrates, for warrants against
Captain Macleod and his friend Captain Adams, and an
officer has been this moment (half-past four) despatched
to the barracks with a warrant for their apprehension."

WEST INDIA MAIL.

FALMOUTH, APRIL I.—The Tagus steamer anived this
morning, with Peninsula mails. Her dates of leaving are from
Gibraltar 24th, Cadiz 25th, Lisbon 28th, and Oporto and Vigo
29th ult. The Crane (sailing) packet, Lieut. John Hill com-
mander, has also arrived this afternoon from Mexico, having
left Vera Cruz 15th Feb., 'fampico 23d, and Havannah Bth
March. She has on freight about 635,000 dollars, all of which,
with the exception of about 20,000, were shipped at Tampico.
There is no political news by this vessel. The Republic was
quiet, but Santa Anna was very unpopular, and not at
all likely to maintain supreme authority. The ex-
President, Bustamente, was reported to have embarked
for France. The Solway steamer had arrived at Vera
Cruz 6th February, from Havannah, and left again on the 7th
for Tampico, to collect letters in the Gulf for king,and, but up
to the 23d following, when the Crane sailed, she had never
made her appearance at that port. The Crane brings no in-
formation respecting the Medina steamer, so long due, and has
only fallen in with one of the Company's vessels on her voy-
age, viz., the Forth, which had reached the Havannah
from Vera Crus the - day the Crane sailed therefrom.
The Tweed steamer was considered a missing vessel. Her
Majesty's ship hydra brought the Jamaica mails to the
Havannah owing to some irregularity of the Royal Steam-
Packet Company, and left again the Bth following for Jamaica.
Iler Majesty's slips Electra and Charybdis were at Jamaica
I st ult., and her Majesty's ship Tweed had arrived at Havannah
Bth ult., from Vera Cruz and Tampico, having on board
560,000 dollars for the Commissariat Department at Jamaica.
The Mexican Government had purchased the City of Dublin
steamer at Vera Cruz on the I Ith of February for I I,too/.
The Spanish brig of war Cuba had captured off that island on
the 3d of. March a slave schooner, with 320 people on board,
which she brought into the Havannah. The passeng,rs by the
Crane packet are Messrs. Stokes, Watson, and Stanley

Advices from Bombay to the Ist inst. mention that the
British troops, under a convention with Ukhbar Khan,
Chief of the rebels; quitted their encampment on the 60:of
Jan., and immediately after were engaged by the rebels,
their rear being first attacked. In the course of three or four
days, in which communications were carried on with the
Chief, and the ladies given up, as well as several officers
as hostages, the troops were fiercely engaged, the Chief
pretending that he could not restrain them. Finally
the sepoys succumbed, then her Majesty's 44th. All
ranks rushed towards Jellalabad, but only one European
reached that city.
TI e news from Jellalabad is more cheering. General
Sale's position had not been attacked. They have pro-
visions enough till April. Reinforcements are expected
to arrive in February.
Report says that the new Governor of India has ar-

THE NAVY.

Some incorrect accounts having obtained publicity re-
specting the ships intended to be built, we place before
our readers the true state of matters, as correctly as WC'
can ascertain.

The name of Prince Albert, 90, now building at Ports-
mouth, has been changed to Princess Royal ; and a ship.
of 120 guns, to be named after his Royal Highness, Is
ordered to be built at Woolwich on a plan submitted to
the Admiralty by Mr. Lang, and under the immediate
superintendence of that gentleman, who is master-ship-
wright of Woolwich dockyard. An 80-gun ship, to be
called Hannibal, on the plan of the late Admiral Hayes,
will also be laid down at Woolwich as soon as Boscawen
is launched.; and Mr. Fincham is ordered to build a 50-
gun frigate at Chatham, to be called Raleigh.
A first-rate of 110 guns, as Queen, is ordered to be
built at Portsmouth, to be called Prince of Wales.
The following ships will be launched this year, and
orders have been received to expedite the Albion, 90, at
Plymouth, N% hick ship will be commissioned as soon as
poss►ble After launching, in order to test her merits
against a vessel of her class. The Albion will have an
entire battery of 68-pounders on her lower deck, and
32-pounders of 55 cwt. on her other decks—being the
heaviest broadside of any ship hitherto built :
At Woolwich—Boscawen, 70 guns ; Chichester, 50 ;
Ainpliion, 36. At Deptford—Worcester, 50. At Chat-
haw—Goliath, 80 ; Cumberland, 70. At Plymouth—

addressed to the Moderator, making the acknowledgment that
he had been guilty of the sin of fornication. He was aware of
the consequences of this admission ; but he felt still more
deeply than these the scandal he had been the means of bring-
ing upon the nan eof religion. He trusted that God had given
him grace to repent of his sin, and he threw himself upon the
Presbytery. This gave rise to a very affecting scene. The
letter was read by the clerk in a solemn and almost inau-
dible voice, and was followed by a dead silence in the Pres-
bytery for some minutes. Mr. Balfour then rose, and
though every sound but that of his own voice was hushed,
we could only hear indistinct sentences, intimating
that from all he had seen, and from what he had heard, he be-
lieved Mr. Hay to be deeply penitent—nevertheless, the Pres-
bytery had no alternative but to proceed, in accordance with
the rules t f the Church, to depose him from the office of the
holy ministry. A silence of a still longer interval ensued,
broken only by the occasional whisper of one member to an-
other. Atter the lapse of several minutes, the Moderator (Mr.
Bennie) addressed the Presbytery—" Fathers and brethren, is it
your pleasure to proceed with this bitterly painful case, or to
delay it?" No one spoke ; and, after a pause, he added, "if
we must proceed, it is usual in such cases to begin with devo•
tional exercises; and I have to request our Rev. Father, Dr.
Brunton, to engage in prayer." Dr. Brunton offered up a fer-
vent and impressive prayer, after whieh the Moderator pro-
nounced the solemn sentence of deposition.

before, he now stated it at 35,000/. Owing to these dis-
crepancies, he was given a month to clear up.

USER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
I►`Y and injurious metals called Nickel and German Silver
supplanted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless
ALLIATA PLATE. C. WATSON (late ALDERMAN)
41 and 42, Barbican, aided by a person of science in the amal-
gation of metals, has succeeded in bringing to public notice the
most beautiful article ever yet offered : possessing all the rich-
ness of Silver in appearance—with its durability and hardness
—with its perfect sweetness in use—undergoing, as it does, a
ehem'eal process, by which all that is:naseous in mixedmetals is
entirely extracted—resist ng al acids, may be cleaned as Silver,
and is manufactured into every article for the Table and Side-
board.

Gold, than his metal is from all others ; on its intrinsic merits
alone he wishes it to be tested. And from the daily increasing
eulogiums he receives, he is convinced that nothing can prevent
its becoming an article of universul wear.

LIGHT FOR ALL NATIONS.

We are much gratified to learn, by the following
communications, that there is no truth in the report
of the Caisson having burst since its successful de-
posit on the Goodwin Sands. We have witnessed it
ourselves a day or two ago, and its position seems ad-
mirably adapted for the humane purpose in contem-
plation. We Ate induced to believe, from several
opinions expressed by promiscuous individuals, that
the success hitherto of Mr. Bush's laudable and very
patriotic endeavours in his periluus adventure, has sti-
mulated the envy of those who were busy in prognos-
ticating his failure.

Let Mr. Bush, however, persevere, regardless of
such people, and his success will redound more to his
credit, for
" Envy will follow merit as its shade,
But, like the shadow, prove the substance true."

There was nothing ever great or novel yet achieved,
that did not oxcite the spleen of those who had not
genius enough to conceive its possibility, or genero-
sity to applaud the undertaking, and honour its
accomplishment. The following are the letters to
the Editor of The Sun.

57, Lincoln's Inn-fields, Aug. 5, 1842.
Sir,—l herewith beg to forward the inclosed letter,
just received from Deal. It will convey authentic in-
formation of the state of the Caisson, up to such date ;
and the favour of your insertion will tend materially to
remove the erroneous impression created in the mind of
the public, by the unfounded statement which appeared
in the early part of the week.
I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
JOHN D. PAINE.
Caisson, Goodwin Sands, August 4, 1842.
Dear Sir,— Referring to the statement made by me, in
contradiction of the report of the bursting of the Cais-
son, I beg to inform you that the works in connexion
with the adaptation of the machine for obtaining a foun-
dation for the new lighthouse, are in rapid progress, in-
cluding the air-pumps, guages, valves, and apparatus.
The Caisson has already advanced some considerable
distance through the sand, and there is every reason to
conjecture, from the appearance of the water and other
indications, that it is already approaching a chalky 'stra-
tum, as was this day observed by Lieut. Batt, R.N. Mr.
Bush intends to proceed with the excavation of the sand
within the Caisson the moment the Government steam-
vessel arrives, and she is hourly expected ; reports of
the progress of such works shall be forwarded to you in
due course. One or two of the outer plates were cracked
during the gale of last Friday, the repairs of which we
are proceeding with, though such has by no means de-
layed our operations. I am happy to add that the air-
chamber and columnal cylinder remain as perfect and
immovable as they were before the Caisson was launched
from the Deal beach.—l remain, dear Sir, yours truly,
For WILLIAM Busts, C.E.,
GEO. QUIDDINGTON.
