THE. PLANET SATURN.-The Leipsie Gazette announces that
the new number of Schumacher's Astronomical Notes contains
a discovery made by •Dr. Encke, profesor of astronOmy.ut Ber-.
lin, that the planet Saturn has three rings, instead of only two,
as hitherto believed.

CllATswouTut.—The Duke of Devonshire is tit Chatsworth,
superintending the completion of his new conservatory, which,
when finished will be unequalled in Europe, for its extent and
variety of appropriateness. One' portion of it will form an
aviary, in which bads of evety country and climate will be de-
posited for the purposes r breeding. Plants, Shrubs, and
flowers, collected and brought at great expense from the north,
the south, and east of the habitable world, are intended to be
cultivated in this' magnificent conservatory.-31anchester
Guardian.

LADY SKATERS.—The ornamental water in the Regent's-
park was crowded (luring the day, the ice being very good.
Among the assemblage were several persons of rank and
fashion, but the principal attraction were six. ladies, habited a
la Russe, with silver skates suspended from their necks,.who
.skated in a most scientific manner, from eleven until fonr
o'clock.—Courier of Saturday.

PAVED AND MACADAMISED ROADS.-It appears that Black-
friars-bridge requires for keeping it in a proper state of repair
£lOOO. per annum, when macadamised; but it was kept in res
pair, as a paved road way, for an annual average sum of £l2O-
- a return rresented to the House of Commons (1837) it ap-.
pears that the first cost of converting one mile two hundred and
fifty yards from a London pavement into a broken stone road,
was .£12,9-12; the annual expense of maintaining which road
hes been £.1003. or ls. 2d. per superficial yard square.—ltail-
way Magazine. _

TEA URNS.—In the ruins of Pompeii an urn was found con-
taining an hollow metallic cylinder, for the insertion of a hot
iron, by which water or other substances might be kept warm.
Tea urns, therefore. are not entitled to the appellation of modern
invention.

TRANSMISSION OP NEWSPAPERS.—From the frequent re-
presentations madelo the Postmaster-general, the Earl of Lich-
field, of the abstraction of newspapers from their envelopes
during their transit, his lordship has issued an order permitting
the name and address of the party to whom a newspaper is
directed to he written on the newspaper itself, as well as on the
wrapper. This arrangement is of great importance to'newspa-
per.proprietors, as well as their readers, fur. in future no plea
can' he set up of the wrapper having been defaced or accideni-
aiiy torn fa so as to prevent the paper reaching its destination.
Lord King has been distributing. his bounty to the poorer
classes on his extensive estates in Surrey. His lordship eru•
plus the whole of the labouring classes in the vicinity of Oak-
haw in improving his park, and has distributed to each man
warm clothing, and 200 mope of beef among the necessitous
poor of the parish.

SMITHFIELD MARKET,- LONDON; JAk, 15.'
Owing to the weather'heing exceedingly severe, the pastures very
bare of winter herbage, and the prices of dry fodder very high. many
farmers and graziers have sent hither this morning a large quantity of
steer stork, which formed a large portion of the bullock supply, The
supply of Beasts in this day's market was, for the time of year great,
on account of which the trade with beef was exceedingly dull, and
a depression of full 2d per 81hs was submitted to, it being with much
difficulty that 4s 4d per 81bs could he realized for thievery finest Scots.
There was likewise a great number of Sheep offering, amounting to
31010, the general quality of which was tolerably prime. The sale
of mutton was very Heavy, hut no variation in prices was noticed.
We have had a small supply of Calves on sale whilst the sale was
tolerably steady, at enhanced tates. All kinds of Pork, the supply of
which was good, went off brigkiy, it au advance of 2d per Blbs,
