TOWN-HALL.

Col. bi'Donala, the celebrated wandering piper, complained of
being forced to move on, while performing in the London-road, by
the officers, and requested permission to pursue his present avoca-
tion without molestation in the five parishes of the Borough. He
WAS told that the local regulations were opposed to any thing of the
sort, and no authority could be given him for that purpose. lie
was attended by two well-dressed persons. La.t night he performed
at the Elephant and Castle, on being sent for, it being a stipulation
agreed upon that be shall not enter a public house uuder otlyer cka

We have visited the West London Theatre, in tot.
tenham-street, and were much gratified at the exhibition
of some spirited and well-acted Pieces. :, 4
A steam towing-barge has lately been built and pot
into operation, for the purpose of conveying the large
West Country barges through the Regent's Canal Tun-
nel, which runs under Islington and the New River for
about three quarters of a' mile, thereby obviating the
extreme difficulty experienced by the men in working
their barges through the Tunnel.
The tread mill, which is introduced into the House
of Correction at Cronach, in Bavaria, grinds daily the
flour requisite for the 4.00 persons in the establishment.
Every individual makes 600 steps, and is then relieved
by another, so that he works eight minutes and rests
eight. The physician visits the prisoners once a week,
and when there is any appearance of weakness of the
lungs, some other employment is given them. Every
one works at the mill only half a day, and the number
of steps during that time makes a German mile (about
four miles and a half English). Thus they have a Ger.
man mile to walk up hill, without mountain air, in a
large vaulted room, with constant interruption and
double allowance of food. The appearance looks like
Dante's hell. Concei►e a large vaulted apartment light-
ed by a single lamp, near whieh a sentinel is posted with
his drawn sabre, which glimmers in the gloom; the
prisoners almost without exception well made young
persons, in white linen trousers and shirt sleeves, seen
from behind in constant motion, yet never advancing
till the 600 steps are accomplished a bell then rings,
the workmen let themselves down by iron bars by whic'h
others ascend, so that the wheel never stands still ; SOO

men and 100 women are constantly employed here, and
among them are youth of good education. No sound
of a human voice is heard in the mill-room, or in any
of the otberapartments. All the workmen are obliged
to be silent.
