and the arrogancy of domination, that it has mani-

but to civilized society in general ; ana therefore must
be held as in its nature jacobinical, against which we,
with a necessary wisdom, cherish perpetual enmity.

considering the circumstances in which we stand

respective parishes, on or before the lOzh instant.

The Gazette of last night contains extracts from
the Acts of Parliament against the emigration of ar-
tificers and manufacturers, and notifies that the penal- •
ties will be enforced.
• Captain BROWN, whose letter appears in the Gazette
of last night, containing the particulars of the destruc-
tion of la Mouche privateer, is the officer who lately
distinguished himself for the number of privateers he
took from the enemy, and vessels which he recap-
tured, when he commanded the PitIVER sloop of war ;
for which services Mr. YORKE promoted him to the
rank of Post-Captain, and appointed him to his pre-
sent ship as soon as she was launched. It appears he
is now again actively employed in the protection of
the trade in the Channel.

A new entrance is now breaking through, out of
Newcastle-street, in the Stand, into Lyon's Inn.—
This, when completed, will be a great convenience to
the residents, who have been hitherto obliged to enter
by the gate in Holywell-street, or the dirty passage
from W ych-street.
The Temple-bar Improvement Committe had, in
compliment to their Chairman, Alderman Dosivit.t.r.,
resolved to call the street leading Notth from Pickett-
street by the name of Domville-street ; but that gen-
tleman, with a delicacy not less praiseworthy than un-
common in the present day, has declined the honour
intended him, and, in a letter to the Committee, has
entreated them, as they value his peace of mind, to
rescind their resoluticn, and give some other name to
the street in question ; and we understand they have
complied, not without reluctance, and that the name
which the Surveyor is now directed to put up is
Pickett-place, instead of Domville-street.

KENNET AND vox CANAL—We hare much plea-
sure in informing the public that the Committee of
the Kennet and Avon Canal Company, not having
been able to examine the Canal u hen 'it was opened
from Newbury to Bath in December, assembled at
the former place on '.Vednesday last, and proceeded
along the whole line to Bath. They were much gra- '
tified with the execution of the works in general, but
more especially with the locks and masonry, which
have been executed in a masterly manner, and are
highly creditable to the superintendant and the per-
sons employed under him. We have also the satis-
faction to state that the trade is rapidly increasing,
and that there is a certainty of an ample and abundant
supply of water on th,, whole of the line.—From Bath
the Committee proceeded along the Avon Naviga-
tion to Hanham, where they were met by the Direc-
tors of the Bristol Dock Company in their barge, ac-
companied by the Gentlemen of the Committee of
the Bath and Bristol ;sod Bristol and Taunton Canal
Companies resident in Bristol;and passed down to the
Floating Harbour ; which was seen to great advan•
L tage, from the immense number of shipping of v'
descriptions at present in the port.
