With the view of obtaining further information on the Bubject of this invention , mj- Lords have directed Colonel Toll and , one of their inspecting officers , to inspect it and to report to them th « reou , when his other engagements will permit . " ' This letter was dated May 15 , 1 S 55 : but , . as yet , the invention lias not been inspected by Colonel Yolland , or any other officer from the Board of Trade .

      annum , aud a sum of £ 400 , 000 in the funds to his widow , for her own absolute use . He leaves to his two aiaters , both of whom are advanced in years , . £ 200 , 000 each . To all his servants £ 50 a-year for evcM-, and a further sum of £ 500 to such as had been long in his . service . To every labourer on the estate he has left £ 5 , independently of other minor legacies . About two months before hid death , he distributed the largo sum of £ 85 , 400 among some of his personal friends , adopting the plan of gifts in order to evade the legacy duty , to the payment of which hes had very great rcpuguauco . His charitable performances were in accordance with his prodigious wealth . Some fow

      Addlteratiou of Beer . —Several beerhouse keepers were summoned at the West Bromwich Petty Sessions on Sattirday last , for using grains of paradise in their brewing . They were fined in the mitigated penalty in each case of £ 50 . Samuel Maiden was also summoned for having in his possession certain colouring matter—a mixture of burnt sugar and sulphuric acid —for mixing with the beer , to give it a deep colour and an appearance of strength . He alleged that it was a mixture of ti-eacle and vinegar only , prepared for the use of an invalid son ; but the bench convicted Mr . Maiden , and fined him also 5 n the mitigated penalty of £ 50 . usual

      Soiree to Messrs . Gibson and Bright . —The annual soiree to the rnenibers for Manchester is to be held in the Corn Exchange in that city , on the eve of the meeting of Parliament . The preliminaries were agreed to at a private meeting in Newall ' s-buildings , on Saturday evening . Papal Domination in- Ireland . —The Papal bull appointing a successor to the late Dr . Haly in the Roman Catholic See of Leighlin and Ferns has given great dissatisfaction among the more independent of the Irish Papists . The diocese had elected by twentyone votes the Very Rev . Dr . Walsh as the successor of Dr . Haly ; but it is stated that the bull consecrates a clergyman who was never even put in nomination —the Rev . Dr . Miley , President of the Irish College at Paris . This manifestly infringes to a most serious extent on the freedom of the Irish Catholic Church .

Musurus , the Minister Plenipotentiary from the Sublime Porte to England , has been ¦ elevateuto the higher rank of Ambassador Extraordinary . A London-Night ' s Entertainment . —For an uncle

      to see F . uch sights , his name should hi Plato , not Plappington , he should come from the groves of Academe—not Cogglesbiir ^ ' ; then might be found a nephew to give him a rare night's roving ; to show him the sorrows aixl the shames , the stony-hearted horrors of the streets , the dead secrets of the river , the unutterable misei-ies of the hovels in the city that is paved with pure gold . To stand by tho hospital-door where the sick go iu—to stand at the hospital railings where the corpses come out—to baths oneself in tho ruby glare from the cheap doctor ' s shop—to listen to the never-ending clang of the pawnbroker ' s bos-doors ( private boxes , and tho Inferno performed every night ) —to hear tho oaths of tho wan carpenter in the garret , when he finds his tipwy wifo haR pawned his Sunday coat—and 1 the cries of tlie wan woman in the cellar as

      the drunken cobbler boatfj her head in with Iuh lapstone—to see how the Leys aro thieves at eiglit , and the girln lo .-st at twelve , and all of them raggcil and starved at any age ; ami then , presto , to luo away to new springs and pastures , to broad , open . squares and Bpaoious Htreeta , clean , well-paved , and frosh-Miuelliug , there to see tlio coronetod carriages roll , the proud horses champing at groat mcn ' n door * , the nplendid footmen handing up tho foaming tankard or the fogdofying drop of short to culy-wiggod concheo on the box ; the comely housemaid * darting out
