ARRIVAL OF A VERY;-EXTENSIVE IMPOR-

TATION,
DIRECT FROM HIS OWN MANUFACTORY AT PARIS.

L. HAUSBURG has much pleasure in announcing
• the arrival of the above, forming his most recent
selection of Models, in which he has ayailea....himself of
his connexion with the most cetebrefed Modellers of the
present day, and he is enabjedlo submit to his Friends a
most splendid Collection-6f CLOCKS, chaste, classical,
and elegant in desigr(in Ormolu, China, Bronze, Mar-
quetterie, &c. ; and, whether considered with regard to
extent, variety, or beauty, he feels assured that the assort-
ment will be pronounced unequalled by any which has yet
been offered to public notice.
F. L. H. flatters himself that it would be unnecessary
to make any comment upon the quality, the high position
he is justified in assuming in this respect being confirmed
by the general and unqualified approval of his patrons.
By the reduction in the duties upon Foreign Glass, an
additional facility is afforded for the importation of
Clocks, the expense of the Shades forming an important
item in the cost; F. L. H. is gratified in offering ma-
terial advantages in the prices. He respectfully solicits
an early inspection. He also begs to direct attention to
his last importation of

ALABASTER,
in Groups, Figures, Vases, Ewers, &c., from the most re-
nowned Statues, modern and antique, exquisitely sculp-
tured, among which will he found Copies from Canova,
Thorwaldsen, Bartolini, Baruzzi Tinerani, &c., and an
examination of which will prove replete with interest to
the Lover of the Arts and the Connoisseur.

THE MAYNOOTH GRANT.

The Rev. Hugh M`Neile has published the following
letter to Lord Bandon, which the reverend gentleman has
addressed to his lordship in consequence of bis lordship's
reply to the resolutions of the Orange body, deprecating
an increased grant to the College of Maynooth.

Liverpool, 14th March, 1845

" MY LORII3,—I have just seen in the public papers a
letter from your lordship. addressed to some of your con-
stituents in this town, on the-subject of the proposed ad-
ditional grant of public motiey for the support and en-
largement of the Roman Catholic College of Maynooth.
After expressing your regret to find yourself at variance
on such a subject with a most respectable body of your
constituents, you say, in justification of that•variance, that
you feel " the institution is ore the support of which can-
not, under all the circumstances, be abandoned by the
state." Comparing this with the report of your lordship's
speech on the subject in the I'ouse of Commons, at the
commencement of the present session, I am led to the
conclusion that, in . your lordship's deliberate judgment,
the state is pledged by some contract to the continued
maintenance of that seminary. These circumstances—
their importance, and their direct bearing on the religious
character of the country will, I trust, render further apo-
logy unnecessary for this public address from one of your
lordship's clerical constituents.

In the present state of my information on the subject,-I
fed that opposition to the proposed measure (however
practically insignificant that opposition may be) is a duty
of so sacred a character as to outweigh both my earnest
desire to be quiet in my own sphere of action, and my sin-
cere repugnance to do or say anything against an admi-
nistration to which the country is in temporal things (so
far as I am capable of forming an opinion) so• singularly
indebted.
But when I reflect upon the vastly superior opportuni-

ties for accurate information in detail,

possessed by your

)rdship,

feel that what I now consider a sacred duty
may possibly be a mistake ; and therefore 1 take the liberty
(which I trust you %sill kindly excuse) to request, with all
respectful earnestness, that you will have the goodness to
inform me when the public faith this matter was pledged,
and where an authentic record of it may be found.

strong tidal current both in its upward and downward flow, tend greatly to accumulate sand and silt
in their wake, and thus injure the navigation to a great extent (it might be) along the sea-wall—while
the great desideratum for many years has been to deepen rather than to shallow ; for if the water
were deep enough at ebb of flood tides for steamers drawing six to seven feet to get along :side the wall,
the difficulty now sought to be overcome would be removed, nothing being then required for easy
landing but gently inclined planes. We are not, therefore, much surprised that the Dock Committee
have been unable to satisfy themselves as to which of the plans presented—no fewer than 286—t0
select ; or, in other words, that they find themselves puzzled. We are of opinion that the question
can only be properly decided for the public, who are mainly interested, by a board or committee of
engineers and nautical men, who have fully acquainted themselves with the nature and circumstances

WEST INDIES.-DESTRUCTIVE FIRE

The Royal Mail steam-ship Tay arrived at Southamp-
ton, on Tuesday, with the West Indian mail.
A most destructive fire has destroyed the principal por-
tion of the town of Bridetown, in Barbadoes. It broke
out, it appears, on the morning of the 4th or sth, in the
house of a Jew storekeeper, and was caused by a little
gill, about nine years of age, playing with limiter matches.
It commenced in the part of the town principally devoted
to commerce, and where the stores and houses ate thickly
studded. The buildings being built principally of wood,
old and worm-eaten, it may be readily imagined that the
fire spread with the greatest rapidity, and defied all human
efforts to suppress it. The fire having been observed by
Admiral Sir Charles Adam, he immediately landed the
whole of his officers and sailors, together with the fire-
engines on board. Sir Charles himself was most inde-
fatigable, and directed his men with untiring energy.
The fire, notwithstanding such powerful aid, continued
to burn with great fury for three days, and was, in short,
smouldering when the packet left on the 9th. The ne-
groes stood by, and looked on with the greatest apathy,
and could not be induced to assist cheerfully. Their con-
duct resembled that at the great fire in Kings:on about
two years since.
The Barbadians assert that their loss will exceed half a
million of money. The Post-office is amongst the public
buildings destroyed ; and so is Caroline Lee's Hotel.
The house of Moore Brothers and Co. are -offerers to the
amount o' 40,000 dollars ; and there is a house connected
with the Irish trade in Cork who are also great sufferers.
Nearly all the principal stores, being in the locality of the
fire, are of course destroyed. The fire caused a great
rise in the price of wood, shingles, &c., at Martinique.
Santa Anna was caught by a small party of Indians,
who captured and made him prisoner. He was shortly
afterwards removed to the castle of Perote. The general
impression is, that he will be shortly put upon his trial,
afterwards banished the country, and the whole of his
property confiscated to the state. General Bravo, it is
supposed will be the new President. The country is now
tranquil.
The commander of the Tay reports that he experienced
very bad weather in the Gulph, and was obliged to stand
off Tampico in a heavy " norther," in which a sloop
upset, and all hands perished. Her name could not be
ascertained. He also experienced another heavy norther
off Vera Cruz. A fine American schooner went ashore
there, and soon became a total wreck. The crew were,
however, saved. The Tay bad a heavy gale all the passage
home.

andA clause was introduced into the last act of parliament affecting the convenience of the passenger
4,, other traffic between our town and the opposite Cheshire shore, requiring that the Dock Trustees
within a given time, construct two flights of steps and a slip on an improved principle or
rts'uoiples, at George's Pier—the utmost incline of the slip being specified. Advertisements were (as
tiogenerally known) put forth by the Dock Committee offering rewards—X2oo and £loo—for the
otlst approved plans—the two considered the best, and the second best—and inviting engineers and
a:lteir3B to compete, and affording a greater latitude than that prescribed,—the stage described in the
tho eing deemed inadequate. Though the notice was short, the ingenuity of many individuals was
eo„B.elicited—some sending in models (many of them costly) with descriptions, some plans, and a
peetslderable number both. Many of these were very ingenious in their way, some, as might be ex-
eat ed, feeble in conception, and others, though clever, so complicated in construction and mechani-
iti;werhing as to be inapplicable. It must be admitted that, from the nature of the site where the
peetnvement in landing places is purposed, many difficulties present themselves ; that we have a
ext:uar shore or sand bank to contend with, upon which encroachment can proceed only to a limited
(a at ; that the rise of tide (at springs) is comparatively great ; and that unless the Public Baths
8
°lnewhat unprofitable building, about 40 feet only from the sea-wall,) be removed or thrown back,
basreat indenture can be made inland. The strand is left dry to a considerable distance from the
tito ;_(d' the wall at low water of spring tides, and as these tides rise 33 feet any permanent projec-
textudo the bed of the river in the shape of solid stone slips or piers (as on the Cheshire side) is
t 0 impracticable, as such would interrupt the navigation—vessels having occasion to come close
to
belm and others to approach the wall in landing and receiving passengers, or in entering or leaving
ks at that quarter, at all times when they have sufficient water. Such erections would, indeed,
ti:oBt equal to carrying out the whole line of sea-wall skirting our docks to deep water, at all
woulesl or in other words to reach a depth of, say, seven feet for steamers, to attain which 100 feet
vess , have to be taken in ; for isolated piers, where there is much shipping to pass, would subject
eable's to constant difficulties : they would be liable to get against or upon them if they parted their
or were otherwise thrown near them, this side being generally the lee shore during heavy gales.
uther objection to solid projecting piers is that they would, in all probability, by interrupting the
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1845-03-18

We have privately seen only a few of the Plans and Models, but have had others described to us.
The probability is that few or none of them are applicable in all their details, though if a really good
principle be shown, it may be improved upon and adopted. With the opinions expressed we are not
a little surprised to learn that one only out of the whole 286 has been selected as alone worthy of
being sent up to the Parliamentary Committee for their sanction or rejection, though that one is not
only " not adopted," but is stated to be at variance with the act. Is this meant as a specimen of
the whole batch, or is the Committee above to be left to infer that not one of the rest is worthy of the
slightest consideration ? The proceeding is somewhat strange. Of the favoured one we have obtained
the principle or outline, and we apprehend that if it should be finally fixed upon, the result will prove
either that we are under mistake in our premises, and have over-rated the difficulties which we have
assumed to exist, or that the science of the country to meet them effectually has not yet reached the
conquering point. We, however, premise in behalf so far of the Plan, which comprises piling, that
we do not think it possible, in the peculiar locality in question—and which from its central position
is the only eligible site—to form a convenient and safe landing place, that shall not seriously obstruct
the navigation and tide way, and be available at all times and all weathers, without some projection
or outward erection, in part or in whole permanent.
