taining acts of parliament for carrying the objects.

to Carlisle, with a branch therefrom. <A plan and 
section of a proposed bridge over the river Tyne, at 
or near Scotswood, and of the proposed roads, 
avenues, or approaclies thereto, with certain 
branches therefrom. A plan of part of Morpeth, 
shewing the proposed site fora new bridge, and 
approaches, A plan of an intended ferry by 
steam or other boats, between North and South 
Shields, and of the roads, avenues, ways, and 
passages thereto. A plan of that part of a pro- 
posed road between Edinburgh and Neweastle, 
whieh lies in the county of Northumberland. A

On the Ist of December, a beautiful specimen 
of that uncommonly rare British bird, the fork- 
tailed petrel, was shot near Benwell boat-house, 
on the river Tyne, Itisthe smallest of all web-

the new harbour at Seaham was laid by the Mar- 
quess of Londonderry, amidst an immense con» 
course of people. The same day Lord Seaham 
laid also the foundation of the first house of the 
new town of Seaham. The expense of the har- 
bour will considerably exceed the origina] esti- 
mation of £80,000; it is to consist of an inner 
and outer harbour. The business part of the new 
town is to form a crescent, with inclined planes at 
each extremity, down to the harbour, forming a 
beautiful object from the sea,

been for some time in the course of erection, is 
now finished, and adds much to the beauty of that 
edifice.
