The Grand Ducal Government of Tuscany haN given
notice, that the light of the port of Leghorn (Levorno),
in lat. 40 d. 30 m. 41 s. N., and long. 10 d. 17 in. k E.,
which has hitherto been a fixed light, will appest-, from
the 15th of next December, as an intermitting light. al-
ternately red and white, each for an interval of 40
seconds, and with intervening eclipses. The Wight of
the light being 154 feet above the sea, will retailer it
visible at the distance of 20 miles, and, during the
eclipses, a faint light may be seen within. the dist:xnee of
nine miles, the total darkness not being complete i yund
that distance.

BREAD AND BARRACKS.--NOt more. dist-
pleasing to the Parisians is the fortification of Paris,
than must be the efforts now making to erect more bar-
racks in Lancashire and the surrounding parts. Ashton
and Derby are already thus favoured, and proposaks have
been made from the Home-office and the Horse Guards
to have Bolton thus fortified. Truly Sir James Ceraham
is very considerate ! If bread be wanting, balls, it seems,
can be had in plenty. On IVednesday week, a meeting
of the inhabitants of Bolton was held to take the ahoy,
proposal into consideration. Much to the credit. of the
patriotic and Constitution-loving people of Bolton, the
proposal was rejected. The assembly was composed al.
• most exclusively of those who pay the highest rates, and
they declared they would rather trust the" protection of
their property to their townsmen than to the military ;
nay, further than this, the measure was denounced as an
attempt to place the community under a complete mili-
tary despotism. We are glad that this feeler has failed,
which we trust will be the case wherever similaipropo.
sals may be made. Indeed, indeed, this is not the sivei

A NEW TORY MAGISTRATE.---Amongst the
six new Tory Magistrates just introduced into the Com-
mission of the Peace for this city, we find the name of
Matthew Pierpoint, Esq., who, on Monday, the 26th of
June, at the close of a speech which he made, or rather
roared, to the people from the Hop-pole Inn, shouted
" Down with the
and with gestures
which answered well to the Words,
out at the highest pitch of his voice,
b_y Whigs," three times consecutive!,
Is his pre-
sent appointment a reward for the active part he took at
the lost election, and amongst his other notable doings,
for this coarse and furious denunciation of the Whigs ?
The putting such a man upon a commission charged with
the preservation of the peace would lead us to infer that
we have no peace—nothing but partizanship to expect
