The British Iron Company, by whom the Mines are now worked, and who are Lessees of considerable Mineral Property beyond the same, have most judiciously expended a large capital in extensive Iron Works near this Estate, which must become a most important auxiliary to their property affording a large and constant supply of superior Coal and Iron Stone to the Furnaces of the Company, and also a Drainage (of essential importance) to other Mines leased to them, and au Outlet for the passage and conveyance of the produce of such il! ines to the Works.

.-0.- FOREIGN. -=- BREDA, MAKCII 7.The latest accounts from the district of Zealand say, that the Belgians are strengthening their positions near or upon the territory hitherto considered by both parties-as neutral, near to the sluice Isabella, and at all points where an attack from our side might be made. The commanders of our troops in that quarter likewise do every thing to strengthen the positions they occupy, and at those points where the enemy increase their means of de- fence adopt measures to defeat their plans. It is said that considerable reinforcements are to be sent to that quarter, either from the army or some other point. The works of Flushing continue to be strengthened, and the fortress is to be palisaded on the land side. Accounts from Oporto to the 18th February represent the condition of the liberating army to be more and more desperate. The stormy weather had prevented ships from crossing the bar with supplies, and provisions of all kinds had consequently become scarce. To add to their distress the discontents among the English troops were increasing from the want of pay and deficiency of food. These dis- contents were partially appeased on the 14th, when a por- tion of their arrears was paid. The cholera also appeared to be making ravages within the walls of Oporto, as well as in the open country; and the state of privation to which the inhabitants were reduced from the want of proper nou- rishment, contributed to the spread of the disease. In the midst of this distress it is gratifying to find that a fund has been established for affording relief to the poor, who are daily supplied with soup and rice. The most discouraging part of these accounts, however, is the representation they give of the gradual advance of the works of the beseigers. A fort has been erected which will render the communica- tion between the besieged and the vessels bringing supplies more difficult than ever, and it is stated than unless some successful attempt be shortly made to open the communi- cations with the shore, the army will be completely block- aded.—Don Miguel's troops on the south side are stated to be well clad and completely equipped, and the accounts of their destitute condition which have been previously re- ceived are said to be much exaggerated. The French Chamber of Peers has decreed the admission of freemen of colour in all their colonies to the full rights of citizenship, by a great majority. The Paris papers are full of discussions on the position of the Duchess de Berri. The French Ministry had experi- enced several defeats in the Chamber of Deputies. The following article appears in several of the papers:- BLAYE, MARCH 2.—Sir,—Yesterday, Drs. Gintrac, Grateloup, Canihac, Bourges, and Meyniers, met at the citadel by superior orders to see Madame, whose health gives us just and great un- easiness. After the most attentive and conscientious examination of every thing that could produce in their minds entire conviction they entered into a consultation. The first question was relative to the state of Madame's lungs, and it was answered in a man- ner which leaves no doubt of the imminent danger of exposing the Princess any longer to the atmosphere of our country. Pro- ceeding to the second question—that of pregnancy—the physi- cians declared that they refrained from giving an opinion for want of conviction. These two decisions were unanimous. It is af- firmed that Madame insisted, however, that the fact should be confirmed by their report, assuring them that it really exists but her entreaties were vain. She did not conceal her chagrin, or rather her despair, at being so confined. "Above all things I need liberty—my native air." Madame again assured the phy- sicians, when she left them, that she was married and pregnant, and requested them to say so, in order to prevent collisions, which would again be a most cruel torment to her. Tell my friends too," she added, with that warmth of expression for which she is remarkable, "tell them that, they may be easy on s, account, and that they will have no cause to blush at a n all the circumstances of which they will be made acquainted with im- mediately on my arrival in Italy." The Constitutionnel says, "Of all the inventions to which the Legitimatists, in their despair and confusion, have given themselves up, the following is the most recent:—In the saloons of the noble inhabitants of the Faubourg St. Ger- main, it is now circulated that the secret husband of the Duchess of Berry is Louis XVII., who, according to the most incontrovertible evidence, has survived all the vicissi- tudes of his infancy. Consequently, the Duchess is not only Regent, but actually Queen of France." A letter of the 17th ult., from Algiers, says :—" On the 11th instant, two Chiefs, convicted of having been leaders of the revolt at Belida, were executed here. They met their death with the utmost coolness. The mode of execution is similar to that of the ancient Romans. The criminal, with his hands tied behind his back, kneels before the execu- tioner, who holds him by the air of the head, and decapitates him with his yatagan, never failing to complete his task at one stroke.
DOMESTIC.
DOMESTIC. REGISTRATION UNDER THE REFORM BILL.-The Revis- ing Barristers have not yet received the fees due for their labours in registering voters; but a return has been printed, by order of the House, of the whole amount of the expence, particularising the sums claimed by each individual barris- ter, the number of days he was employed, and the sums due for salary, and charged on account of travelling expences. It would appear, that there was a pretty considerable lati- tude for favouritism in the selection of the districts for the demands graduate from four hundred and fifty pounds, down to twenty-one. The highest in the list is that of John Halcomb, Esq., one of the Registrars for Dorset and its bo- roughs, who was employed forty-three days, and whose tra- velling expenses are charged at £ 229. 12s 4d—salary, f2 25. 15s-tota1, £ 455. 7s 4d. The next is that of Thos. Flower Ellis, Esq., for Northumberland, (Southern Division). He was out 40 days. Salary, £ 210—expences, £ 172. 12s lid —total, £ 382. 12s lid. The third is Charles Edward Dodd, Esq., for the West Riding of York. Out 30 days— salary, £ 157. 10s—expences, £ 183. 19s—total, £ 341. 9s. The lowest on the list is that of James Parker, Esq., for the county of Rutland. Out two days—salary, .£10. 10s—tra- velling expences, £ 10.13s 7d—total, £ 21. 3s 7d. The next are Andrew Amos, and J. Hildyard, in the borough of Bir- mingham. Mr. Hildyard was out three days, and his de- mand is £ 28. 12s 6d. Mr. Amos was out five, and he claims £52. 9s 6d. The whole of the estimate, clear of fees and deductions, is .£30,500. The total debts of the East India Company amount to £ 30,774,092; of which £ 22,913,990 is held by Europeans, and £ 7,860,102 by Natives. Lord Milton has been elected for the northern division of Northamptonshire, in place of his father, who has been called to the House of Peers. We can contradict, in the most direct and positive terms, and from the best authority, all the assertions of resignations and dissensions in the Cabinet. There is not one word of truth in the absurd and impudent inventions.— Globe. We understand that the new regulations for County Com- missions of Bankrupts, founded on Lord Brougham's late act, will be immediately brought into operation, and that ap- pointments are being generally made for such purpose, re- specting which the several judges, have, for the last two circuits, been directed to make the necessary inquiries in 17C each county, in order to make their returns of fit professional, gentlemen, barristers, and solicitors, to hold the appoint- ments in the permanent local lists of Commissioners, to whom hereafter all bankruptcy commissions will be directed, instead, of, as formerly, to such barristers and solicitors as were paid, or indiscriminately fixed on, by the attorney for the petitioning creditor. The Lord Bishop of Gloucester has stated to his clerical brethren, that the tenth part of the gross income of the see shall be annually given towards the improvement of small benefices and' that the clergy shall be made acquainted each year with the manner in which this appropriation has been made." POOR LAWS.—It is said that the inquiries of the commis- sioners have disclosed so much malversation and imposition in the disposal of parish rates, that they have satisfactorily proved that the total expenditure for the poor may be re- duced at least one third, and the poor be better treated, and the progress of pauperism be checkec1.-Poth Journal. EnBBaas&s3aaeEE<Bss*<- • POOH LAWS FOR iiti r — ced o the notice-book of the House of Commons, an intimation, that on May 2, he will move for a select committee to in- quire into the expediency of levying a rate on all income arising from property in Ireland, for the relief of the sick and helpless poor in the respective parishes in Ireland, and for raising a fund to employ those who are completely des- titute of employment. The Marquis of Anglesea has dismissed the Earl of Mil- town from the commission of the peace for the counties of Wicklow and Ri'daie. in consequence of his joining the Volunteer Society. A plan is in contemplation to produce a considerable saving by the consolidation of the Boards of Excise and Customs. The duties of the Excise will be discharged by the officers of the Customs, and the Excise Board is to be done away. Officers actually employed will be continued in the Customs, and others above a certain age receive a super- annuation allowance. By this the government calculate on ultimately saving a million per armum.-Morning Paper. The Welsh Charity School connected with the Society of Ancient Britous, has received and wholly maintained 1,542 boys and 355 girls. The collections and donations to this charity after the dinner of the society on St. David's day, amounted to upwards offloco. BOROUGH REFORM.—The Corporation of Sudbury, for nearly twenty years, have required from every man who has opened a shop in the borough, the sum of thirty-six pounds fifteen shillings, for the purchase of the freedom of the town, and in default of payment have exacted a tine of three shil- lings per week. About nine months since, Mr. John Purr commenced business as an ironmonger in the town he re- sisted the payment, and submitted to have his goods re- pealedly distrained for the fine. At length he commenced an action against the officers of the corporation, for trespass All sorts of threats and intimidations have been held out to induce the plaintiff to give up his action. The corporation pleas, in justification of their right, filled 58 sheets of paper. It was heid out, that the expenses to the plaintiff would be £ 4000, and that he would he ruined by his resistance. The cause was to have come to trial at the ensuing assizes. but as the hour of Lial approached, the defendants became satisfied of the illegality of their demand, and obtained a judge's order to stay proceedings in the action, upon pay- ment of the plaintiff 's cost, and upon a promise So restore the goods they had unlawfully taken from his shop.— Tps- tvich Journal. Mr. Portman, M.P., has signified his intention to retire from the representation of Maryltbetie, for the reason that his health will not allow him constantly to attend the sittings of the house, and he expresses his belief that constant at- tendance can alone give effect to the exertions of a member of the House of Commons." The Hon. Charles Murray has started as a candidate for Marylebone, on the libera! and reforming interest, to succeed Mr. Portman. Mr. Murray is a young man of considerable tact, intelligence, e and activity. Sir ii. Parnell, Messrs. Smith, and Mr. Cur- rie, the bankers, have declined—Mr. G. A. Yourg, M. Henry Guhagen, and Colonel James Johnston, have also offered themselves. The Tories have started Mr. Hope. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 9.—Captain Sir R. Spencer, R.N. is to be sent, it is said, to King George's Sound, in Western Australia, as Governor, with a salary of £100 per annum, in addition to his half pay. About 150 royal marines are forthwith to be sent to Miiford, in Wales, where a party will permanently be kept to guard the convicts and dock- yard. Colonel Hornby, it is presumed, will command the detachment. Arrived this morning, the Anthony, a Dutch ship, from China, for Rotterdam, detained by the Conway frigate. Rumours have been circulated during the week that six sail of the line and six frigates are to be immediately fitted at Portsmouth, to proceed to the Dardanelles against the Russians. Although no order of the kind has been re- ceived, it is well known that several ships are quite ready, and might be instantly sent to sea on any emergency.— Hampshire Telegraph. The Eden is ordered to be taken to pieces at this yard. We mention this chiefly to draw the attention of our readers to an interesting experiment which was made on this ship. With a view to the preservation of our navy, it has lately been the practice to soak timber used for ship building in salt water, where it remains some years. In order to de- monstrate the efficacy of this principle on a iar^e scale, the Admiralty ordered a ship to be sunk in salt water, selecting the Eden for this purpose, which was sunk about seventeen years ago at Plymouth. Wre hope to be able to state the result of the experiment, when she shall be broken up and examined.—Fortsmouth HeraId. THE EnrN STEAM PACKET.—We find that (he statement of the arrival of the Erin steam-packet, at Milford, is, un- happily, without foundatiou. It is too true, we fear, that this unfortunate ship is gone to the bottom, as nothing has been heard of her since the 21st ult., when she was seen near Lundy Island, in great distress, between four and five o'clock in the afternoon, by the City of Waterford, four hours after by the Victory steamer, her sails dragging in the water, and her crew in the rigging, where they were making signals, and uttering loud cries for help. Five doors, painted and varnished, have been washed on shore near B]de!ord and a brass rail and a ladder belonging to a steamer have been picked up at Miiford, for which port she was making when last seen. It is understood, there were above thirty passengers on board, fifteen of whom embarked at this port. -Plymouth Chronicle. The Rev. Walter Blunt, of Nether Wallop, Hants, has adopted the plan of letting portions of garden-land to la- bourers in his neighbourhood, at a rent of fourpence per perch (free from rates and tithes.) Only spade husbandry is permitted after the first year. Persons guilty of dishonesty, drunkenness, or working in the garden on the Lord's-day, are to forfeit their garden for a year; and if their conduct be of an aggravated nature, to forfeit it for ever. Not more than two-thirds of the garden to be cropped with potatoes. If the occupier of a garden die, it shall be cultivated to the end of the year for the benefit of his family. Prizes are given to those who cultivate a garden in the best manner; who keep a cottage in the neatest manner; and bring up the largest family in a well-regulated manner, and receive the least assistance from the parish. UNWHOLESOME FOOD.— M. Chevalier, of Paris, lately met with an instance in which six persons, in two different families, after having partaken of sausages, were seized with alarming symptoms, such as long continued vomiting, acute pain in the bowels, and severe purging. Suspicion of poi- soning having arisen, the fuod was subjected to a chymicai analysis, but without leading to the detection of any delete- rious agent. The mischief, therefore, is supposed to have arisen from the spontaneous changes which such articles undergo, if badly prepared, or kept too long. M. Labar- racque saw the same effects result last summer, from eating a pâté, which had been purchased at a cook-shop, and kept only four days after. Minute examination led. to the detec- tion of no copper or other mineral poison. A still more re- markable illustration of the bad effects of certain kinds of food, which have undergone certain changes not yet well explained, is related by Dr. Paulus, of Sulz. Seven persons who ate some Italian cheese were taken ill with violent dis- order of the .stomach and bowels three of them died.— Medical Gazette.
