however, proved, that if she had harbottied such an
intention, it had deserted her ; fey after engaging•
pleasure-bort to take her to Worthingood having
proceeded as far as Hove, she changed htter- mind,
and would be set on shore near 'that pTace, from

The following circumstance, which happened at
Manchester. on Sunday morning last, has excited
much interest in that place :—A young man of the
name of 3—, forinerly of Slieffielel, who has
been patronized by the house of WORTHINGTON
aad Co. and whose warehouse was only divided from
their's by a thin partition, was alt Sunday morn-
ing detected in stealing goods, which he had
found means to convey to his own rooms, to the
amount. it is said of 10001. A rider belonging to
the concern happened to have left his pattern-book
in the warehouse on Saturday, and being to leave
Manchester at an early hour on blenday morning,
detested Mr. J. in the fact, and immediately securing
the private entrance, by the assistance of the po-

The tine body of volunteers, called "The Craven
Legion," under the command of that veteran com-
mander, Colonel Lord Ittsatesoate, have volun-
teered to verse in the Local Militia. A short time
since his Lordship mustered the whole corps, and
propoied to them to volunteer into the Local Mi-
litia ; and it being known that it Win the wish of
his Lordship, they all, to a man, turned out. His.
• Lordship communicated it to the Secretary of
State, who returned for answer, that the services of
the infantry were accepted, but those of the enrol',
were rejected, there being no cavalry in the militia.
The cavalry being his Lordship's part iculKftrourite
regiment, and as he prides himself much in hiving
nosed inch a tine body of men, a considreinbiecoo-
respondence passed between his Lordship' lend the
Secretary of State, who persisted in Mel* the
services of the cavalry ; upon which his Lordship
wrote that the whole legion would continue volun-
teers. Upon this the Secretary gave up the
etiinette, and the whole of their services are ac-
cepted. They are to furnish 1,500 effective men.
There is so much military zeal in the legion, that
they have forty-three more than are wanted, and
the difficulty to determine is, who the forty-three
are to be that art sot is turn out.
