On Thursday night, when the mayor of Newcastle
Archbold, Esq., was entertaining his friends in the

sembly Room-9,

" The health of the Lord Mayor and

Corporation of the City of lork " was drunk a little be'

fore ten o'clock, and a message sent over to the Gates.‘
head Station to communicate the fact by telegraph to his

lordship, who at the same time had a large par y at the
Mansion tious-! at York ; and in about an hour, despite
the interposing snow, an answer was received in the As.
sembly Rooms at Newcastle, to the effect that the civility
had been reciprocated, and the health of " The Mayor
and Corporation of Newcastle" been drunk by his lord:

ship and his guests.
ITALIAN Boys.—A. correspondent of the Morning

Chronicle states, that in a steamer which brow;

ht him

from Boulogne there were eighteen Italian boys in the
most pitiable state, some with hardly rags enough to

cover them, and at such an inclement season, and otheri
without shoes, and one poor boy, about twelve years old;

with Ws feet and anc

were being imported into England for the purpose of ex—
citing charity, and for the benefit, no doubt, of two merit
who had them in charge. So dreadful were the suffering*
of the poor and almost naked boy alluded to, that wbeti
dragged up (as was literally the case) from the fore cable
he was quite unable to stand, and obliged to be carried ott
shore on the back of one of these traffickers in white
slaves.

It is remarkable that while in Ireland the people rely
not on their own efforts, but on the money expending
and to be expended by Government, in Scotland the
principle of self-reliance is not onlv.carried out by tan&
lords, farmers, and the working classes, but on the sub-
ject of aiding the poor without asking money from the
National Treasury there is no difference or intolerance
between the Free Church and the Established Church,
nor with any other religious denomination, The collec-
tion made by the Free Church, up to the beginning of
last week, for the relief of the destitute poor, amounted
to £7,900, and more will be collected. This the mete,
bers of the Free Kirk have offered to be thrown into
General Relief Fund, as soon as an Association for its
honest distribution among the destitute—whether Romio
Catholics or Protestants—is in Scotland formed.
Mn. ALISON'S " HISTORY OF EUROPE."—We have
much pleasure in extracting from the Times of the 17th
inst the following notice of this important work At
the time when this great work appeared in successive vo-
lumes, we noticed it at such length that any detailed re-
petition of its merits would be superfluous. In spite of
the defects which may appear in isolated parts—and how
could a work of such magnitude be without them r—it ig
unrivalled as a Thesaurus of information, during one of
the most important periods of the world's history ; and
at the same time, a monument of industry and eloquence.
Having passed through six editions in its original octavo
form, a seventh has now commenced in a more portable
shape. The size adapts it to the pocket, while the beauty
of its appearance qualifies it for a place in the library of

th 6 most fastidious."
IRISH POOR AND ENGLISH RATEPAYERS. —The
Guardians of the Howden Union, Yorkshire, have una-
nimously adopted a petition to parliament to the follow-
ing effect ,—That we deem it neither just nor legal that
we and the other ratepayers in this union should, in ad-
dition to our present heavy burthens, be called upon to
support, in whole or in part, the poor of Ireland.—That
no law, human or divine, can justify the leaving a large
portion of the population of any country to the miseries
of starvation and death, such population having a naturtil
and inalienable right to existence from the soil and wealth
of the land which gave them birth. We, therefore, hub-
bly pray that such a poor law may be forthwith passed' as
may be found adequate to the destitution of the Irish
people—as may save us from being made unfairly contd.
butory towards their support—as may give to life and
property the safeguards of civilization and law—and will&
may protect the poor labourers of England from such a
demoralizing competition with their fellow-laboureri. of
Ireland, as can only end in sinking both into the- same
abyss of universal wretchedness.

COMMITTAL OP A CHIROPODIST.—A person repre-
senting himself as Dr. J. Wolff, a chiropodist, Oupil of
the celebrated F. R. La Granche, patronised by the King
of the Belgians, and displaying certificates from several
physicians in Derby, Nottingham, and Birmingham, ems
lately committed to Beccles Gaol, Suffolk, charged wish
obtaining money under false pretences. It would appear
his plan was to open each corn, and to pretend to take
from it small homey substances, which he described as
being thrown out from the bone. From one patient" he
pretended to extract, in about an hour, from only four
apparent corns, no less than twenty-five of these small
substances, which he called corns, for which he made a
charge of £6 65., and received £6. He was.equally suc-
cessful in other cases. Dr. Wake, a medical practitioner,
in Beccles, and a borough magistrate, having conceived a
suspicion of imposture, watched his proceedint4 nartekiri,
and soon became convinced that the small horny stitr-
stances be exhibited were never taken from the human
subject, but that, by dexterous management, Dr. Wolf!:
while pretending to extract corns, only.produced those lie
had brought ready prepared with him, which it was stit-
trised he had manufactured out of the parings of horses'
hoofs.

INCRUSTATION OF STEAM BOILERS.—The incrustation
of steam-engine boilers, both on land and at sea, has been
a fertile source of fatal accidents—the oxidation of the
metal weakening the plates, and rendering them incapable,
in a short period, of sustaining the neergsary pressure.
The sudden removal of large portions of the incrustation,
when the metal expands, is frequently atten2.ed with fatal
abruption. The attempts of scientific men to avoid this
danger have hitherto been of dubious success; but about
two years ago Dr. Ritterbandt turned his 'attention to the
subject, and has succeeded in discovering a -process which
is deemed an efficient remedy by scientific men.. Hic•prin-
ciple is based on the chemical action which the muriateof
amonia exerts upon the carbonate of lime, the incru+•ting
materiel. The muriate prevents its deposta", and .is
equally applicable to fresh and salt water. The soundness
of the experiment has already stood the test of experience.
It has been tried successfully in statieniry and in twine
engines, having kept the boilers clear of deposit, and even
disintegrating that which bad formed previous
.to its• BP-
plication. It has been tried for nearly twelve months
upon the boilers of the engines printing the London Timer,
working, on an average, 17 hours per diem, and the
boilers have been kept perfectly clean. The Time: states
that neither the boilers nor any part of the machinery has
been in any, even in the slightest degree, acted upon or
injured by the action of the remedy in question.

HALSTON, SALOP.
In the ensuing month, unless previously disposed of by private

contract,
THE important and truly desirable ESTATE OF
HALSTON.

The Estate is situate midway between Oswestry and Elles-
mere, within sixteen miles of Shrewsbury, and contains nearly
TWO THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED ACRES,
within a Ring Fence, and all Freehold ; as to Tithe all reasona-
bly commuted ; and as to Parochial Assessments and cirmun-
stances,_all moderate and most desirable. _,...- -

The Mansion inclines to the Eliz ian character; it con-
tains a spacious Entrance Hall rary, Nursery, elegant Sa-
loon, Boudoir, and handso ining-room on the principal
floor, with all suitable D estic Offices under this suite, and
numerous Bed-rooms ith appropriate Dressing-rooms over
the same.
The accessories to the Mansion are perfect ; the Out Offices

are commodious ; a Flower Garden in front rims down to fer-
tile meadows, through which there flows a Lake of considerable
extent, bounded by the little Church of Holston, once a sanc-
tuary of the Knights' Templars of Jerusalem ; and on either
side of the house are large Woods, whilst the approach is

through a magnificently timbered Lawn.
The Farms are in the hands of a most respectable tenantry -
the Buildings are principally new, and the Lands are cultivated
•

Acres exparoctuar and the adjacent Farms are in the township
of Whittington, ilindford, Berghill, Francton, and Ridge, in
the parish of Whittington, except about 27 acres, which are in
the parish of Ellesmere.

The Woods, thriving Plantations, and Waters, exceed 250
Acres, and the residue are rich Meadows and productive Arable
Land. The River Perry (a well-known trout stream) passes
through the Estate. The Ellesmere and Chester Canal, with a
wharf, (at Maestvevn.) nn the Estate_ ruin. 4hrnm.l,

mity of it, and the gh;ew sbury and hes er Railway (now in
progress) will also pass through the opposite extremity of the
Estate, bringing it within a few hours of the Metropolis.
But it is not within the limits of an advertisement to state
the value of Ralston; it must seen to be
_appreciated—the
neighbourhood is everything a
Sport

ing incomparable.
The hlansion and Estate may be viewed by applying to Mr.
JACKSON, the Bailiff, on the Premises, and for further particu-
lars apply to Mr. ROBINSON, Solicitor, Wolverhampton, at
whose Offices a Lithographic Plan of the Estate, with all other
detrils, may be obtained.
