BOLTON.—The state of trade in Bolton is depto;
able ; the number of hand-loom weavers out of employment
very considerable, and they are suffering the greatest privs
tions. On Monday they held a meeting at the Britannia lee,
when they agreed to memorialise Government on the subject

We are extremely sorry to hear that the oat croi
p,
and the forest, in the neighbourhood of Retford is looking Yeir
indifferently, owing, in a great measure, to the ravages mal
by the wireworm. Some fields have ;heady been ploughe'
upon again, and several others are so injured, as, ultimately to
take away full one-third of the crop.—Doncaster Gazette. •
An arrangement has. been made by Messrs. Salo-

half-yearly dividend, leaving the holders the opportunity 1:e
disposing of their coupons whenever the rate of exchange
makes them of a higher value than that fixed.

A railroad has been actually commenced in the
neighbourhood of St. Petersburg, which is understood toll
the inception of the great project of connecting that cal

will be continued from Moscow to the sea-ports of Asia, am'
if it were not for the Great Desert, say the Russians even ti
1
China, so as to open a vent for commerce from the Baltic See
to the uttermost East. Nowhere will railroads be made more
available than across the pathless wastes of the Russian dotal'
nions.—Frankfort Paper.
CHANCERY.—There is a something in the Court
of Chancery which sets at defiance all calculations of cost an°
time, and renders the celebrated irony of swift, when be

father had been wholly ruined by the misfortune of having
gained a Chancery suit, with full costs, not only not a.'l ex„eg,,i
geration, but a strictly correct description of the fact.— stir.

An extremely interesting circumstance occurrea
lately at Basford. A cow, belonging to Mr. Ay res,
large with calf, but from the lowness of her physical pleriti
evidently near death, was killed, and a large incision m adc

About twelve months ago, we inserted a paragraP'b.
stating that a machine had been invented in America obit.
could manufacture a ton weight of flour biscuits in an hoar;
This gave rise to much conbersation at the time ; and we oug
confess we were ourselves, though somewhat fond of the mar'
vellous in mechanical powers, amongst those who doubted the
authenticity of the statement. This paragraph, however, *I
not without its effect. Amongst others, it caught the eye°
Mr. Dodgson Carr, of this city, who, being a practical men;
determined to inquire into the real facts of the case. He so%
found that the statement was true in all its parts, and,
likeA
sensible man, he determined to profit by his knowledge.
machine was ordered ; and in a very short time large and ell;
modious premises were erected in Caldewgate ; and in t. •
once neglected part of our city there is now actually at vvollit
machine fully capable of performing the wonders ascribed
in our paragraph. We had the curiosity to visit the Place %II
other day, and must confess that on seeing the ma.c,l'inc'
our doubts vanished. It is fully capable of doing the .s'l4
named, and the ingenuity of the invention is no less stri.kia
than its cleanliness, neatness, and portability. The dough
paste is kneaded by machinery, rolled by machinery, and ;"
into form by machinery ; and by and by it will be baked IV tt
same steam which carries that machinery.—Carlisle Joni's° f
On Thursday morning a young woman, 16 years
ry°
age, named Mary Titmouse, living with her parents, in Mgt/

It appeared that the young woman had lived as a servant la)
very respectable family, where she became acquainted lei tilt,
journeyman cooper named Thwaites, by whom she had ?!,.
promised marriage. The banns for the marriage had UV
put up at Whitechapel church, and they were out-asked ij
Sunday week last. The following day was appointed for to
final ceremony, but her "lover" did not, however, make Pof
appearance. She appeared greatly affected at this makn,
disrespect, and was heard to say if he did not fulfil his Pl.('
mise she could never again be happy. She saw nothing, 110
ever, of him until the night before she attempted the rash A
when he told her that circumstances would not, at prel7o
allow them to make up the match, upon which she told lig,
that if he did not have her she would certainly drown herigeve
Immediately after she had thrown herself into the water •st,
was observed by a waterman, who instantly put off in a t.n°,o,
and with great difficulty succeeded in bringing her as","ce,
She was taken to the house of Mr. Mumford, Hanover-134
