iCORTHeSIBERLAND COUNTY Er ervrot:r.--;-Af the close

hers were as follow :

Majority In favour of Mr. I.i.licl
• &zealots Iwremzosxer..—A very TINOICIOUS meeting
of the electors of this borough assembled last evening at the
Bell !nn, fur the purpose of inviting Mr. 'faring to conti-
nue our Representative. Several Resolutions to this effect
•
were proposed by the Chairman (Mr. Burton) and Carried
by a:mlimmition. About 300 voters were present. The
meetipg was adjourned until Tuesday next, to appoint a
Committee. The individuals interested in the silk business
form a large proportion of the Actors of this' borough, and
Ithey seam fully sensible of and greteftil for the strenuous
,exertions made in there behalf in Parhament by Mr. Ba-
ring, pending the late discussions on that important ques-
tion.—Teen fon Courier.
Peonness or SouNn.—ln the bit number of the Revue
Encyclored;que there is an account of a very extraordinary
proposal, via. to communicate vesbal intelligence in a few
moments to vast distances, and this not by symbols, as in
the telegraph, but in distinct articulate sounds uttered by
the bureau voice. This plan originated with an English-
man, 11.. Dick, according to tvliose experiments the human
voice may be made intellilible at the distafice of 45 or Sto
miles. The experiments of the celebrated Biot have as-
certained that sound travels ten times quicker when trans.
mined by solid bodies, or through tubes, than when it passes
through the open air ; at the distance of more than half a
mile the low voice of a man was distinctly heard. At the
latter end of the last century, a clergyman named Gautier
Conceived a plan of transmitting articulate sounds to im-
mense distances ; he proposed te construction of horizon-
tal tunnels, that should widen at the c7nremities, hy means
of which the ticking of a watch might be heard more-dis-
tinctly at the distance of 2,006 feet than when placed close
to the ear: he calculated that a succession of such tun-
nth would transmit a verbal Message 900 miles in an hour.
New SVXAGOGUE.—The Jews in this town hate Com-
menced the eSection of a new synagogue. On Monday last
the first stone • was laid by Mr. S. Myer, for which he
paid 31. 103. The second was laid by Mr. 1. Jacobs, of
Story-street, for which he paid U. 1 la. AL It is, we un-
derstand, a custom with the Jews to take donations of
this sett, in consideration of the honour accruing to them
in thus laying the foundation stones of their Oates of INT-
ship, and presiding at the solemn ceremony. The site of
this (which is to be built by subscription) is in Robinson-
row. The following prayer was composed and read by the
Rev. Samuel Symons on the occasion:—" 0 Lord! to thy
holy and blessed name we begin this day to build a syna-
g neue ; may it be acceptable in thy sight. 0 Lord, out
God,r the God of our fathers ! make thy glory to rest upon
the work of our bands! Hasten the period of our redemp-
tion, and rebuild thy holy city and temple in our days !
Raise a crown of glory unto us, and restore thy kingdom
as it was formerly. Let na and the congregation of Israel
speedily behold the light of thy countenance, for the light
of thy countenance is life unto us. We will glorify, este!.
and adore thee. Let the beauty of the Lord our God bd
upon us, and establish thou the work of our hands upon
us ; yea the work of our hands establish thou it • and may
it be acceptable before thee, that parents and children may
experience thy help in our days. Amen."--:If lin PaeArt.
BREADSALL Breadsall Church, near this
place, is a curiosity that deserves to be noticed. This i° a
large desk placed in the chancel, to which are attached be
chains the following scarce and useful books, all in toles-
able preservation :—" Antiquitates Apostoliere," (published
1691)—" Lives of the Primitive Fathers," by W. Cave.
(1699)—" Erclesiastici," by Cave (1683)--" Burnett's
History of the Reformation.' —" Bishop Jewell's Works,"
(1609)—" Collection of Cases, written to recover I tissenters
to the Communion of' the Church of England," (1695).
These were unquestionably intended by the pious donut
to serve as books of reference and instruction to any of
the parishioners disposed to consult them. It may be re-
marked that when Bibles were less common than they are
at present, each parish watt bound to provide a copy, which
slsould be appended by a chain to some suitable place in
the church, to which the public, at certain hours, were
petmitted to have acccss. Breadsall Church may boast of
another curiosity—the tomb of Dr. Erasmus Darwin. Nor
is the sacred edifice itself devoid of interest, it being a
piece of architectural beauty not often met with in so small
a village.—Derie Mercury.
C 0 1' T v BAN K I n consequence of a delay in the com-
pletion of certain arrangements, Messrs. Tamplin and Ce.
weve unable to re-commence their payments, as they anti-
cipated, on the Ist March. We can, however, state with
certainty, that a few days only will he necessary to the final
settlement, and consequently to the resumption of pay-
ments of that firm. We understand an application has
been made to the Bank of England from this town, to per-
mit the eltablishinent trf a joint-stock bank in Brighton ;
but we do not see what reason there is for supposing such
an application will be favourably listened to, or why a
special exception should be made with.regard to Brighton.
Our two remaining hanks have this week been transacting
business as usual ; the run upon them .having wholly sub-
sided after the first day. Indeed their. stability and re-
