NUISANCES NEAR TO ST. GEORGE'S HALL.-At the
Police-court, on Thursday, Mr. McGowan, clerk to the
health committee, preferred a complaint against Mr.
Mitchell, the owner of a piece of land adjoining the Queen's
Hotel, Lime-street, under a clause in the improvemerit
act, which rendered him liable to a penalty of £2. Mr.
M`Gowan handed to the bench a plan of the property, and
stated that Mr. Curchod, the proprietor of the Queen's
Hotel, had embarked some six or seven thousand pounds,
and it was to him a very serious matter, for a family re-
cently residing with him had left and gone to a rival house
in consequence of the nuisance which existed. A few
weeks ago their attention had been called to some ground
on the opposite side of the hotel belonging to Mr. Alder-
man Bennett, and that gentleman had since come forward
in the most liberal manner and built a wall round it, to
comply with the wishes of the authorities. Mr. Mitchell,
the proprietor of this ground, the subject of the present
complaint, had been repeatedly applied to, but up to this
time nothing had been done. In the year 1846 the cor-
poration sold this piece of land to Mr. Mitchell, upon the
agreement that he should build upon it within three
years ; this he had also failed to comply with. He then
called Mr. Fresh and Mr. Curchod to substantiate the
statement he had advanced. For the defendant, it was
stated that part of the land had been let to a Mr. Hope,
who had been to the court that morning, and had pro-
mised to build a wall eight feet high to the satisfaction of
the authorities. The bench, upon this, adjourned the case

for a week

AUSTRALIAN SHIPPING.—During the week, five vessels
of a tonnage of 3,923 tons have sailed for Australia, in-
cluding a small steamer of 101 tons which sailed for Mel-

e for the

Australian ports, registering 26,119 tons. The fine ship
Herald of the Morning, belonging to Messrs. Millers and
Thompson's Golden Line, sailed on Wednesday for Mel-

, with 250 passengers and a full cargo, consisting
ly 1,600 tons of general merchandise. The next
ached by this line is the celebrated ship

and a large and general cargo. She was towed out a little
beyond Bardsey, and when left by the steamer was making
good way under an ample spread of canvas. The Arabian
will be followed by the first-rate new ship Sultana, one of
the finest conveyances which has ever been provided in
Liverpool for passengers to Australia. The ship is filling
rapidly, nearly one-half of her being already engaged. She
is to sail early in September. The following notices of
Australian emigrants from Liverpool, spoken at sea, were
posted in the Exchange newsroom on Wednesday :—July

TRIAL TRIP OF THE NIIBIA.—On Wednesday, a number
of gentlemen embarked in the magnificent new steamer
Nubia, built by Mr. Laird, for the Peninsular and Oriental
Company, in order to test her speed, and to see that her
engines were in order and all smooth for working, and
therefore there was no marking of particular time, but it
was admitted on all hands that her performance was
beyond even what was expected, and there can be no doubt
that she will prove a fine and very fast sea-boat. Her
trip was north about and home by the Lightship, a dis-
tance of over 50 miles, and everything passed off with
great satisfaction to all parties concerned. The Nubia is
commanded by Captain Harris, an able and experienced
seaman. She left on Thursday for Southampton, from
whence she will be despatched on her first voyage for
Alexandria and after that it is said she will be put on the
Indian station of the company. When the vessel arrived
back in the river there was an elegant dinner served up in
the saloon,.to which the party who had gone on the trip,
consisting of about 50 gentlemen, sat down. Capt. Harris
was in the chair ;
and, after spending an agreeable even-
ing, the party returned to town about six o'clock by a
tug steamer, having first given three hearty cheers for the
Nubia, and wished her captain and herself every success.
On her voyage to Southampton on Thursday she was left
by the pilot in Holyhead Bay at half-past three the same
afternoon, having accomplished. the distance against a
