LOYAL UNITED FRIER:Mi.—On Monday evening
the adjourned meeting of the members of the No. 45
and 46 Gift Fund, to consider the newly-revised articles,
took place in the British Schoolroom, Cowper-street,
City-road. P.S.P. Allen presided on the occasion, and
was supported by, amongst other members of the revising
committee, Friends Burgess, Goold, Meacham, Delivett,
Fawcett, Chulow, Burns, Smart, and Deffee. Secretary
Savage resumed the business by reading the 7th article,
when, after a few words from the Chairman, the same
r.ais adopted by the ineeting. The remaining articles
were submitted to the members, and, after some slight
dizaussion, severally resolved upon. Messrs.• Burgess,
Geoid, Stevens, and Austin were the principal speakers,
and, with the exception of a disposition of attempt to
create confusion by two men of the name of Crew, and
a slight altercation between Friend Cole and the Chair-
man, the business was very peaceably conducted. Five
pounds were voted to the committee for their indefati-
gable exertions (a sum much below what they should
iv° had), and two pounds to Secretary Savage for the
important services he had rendered. After a rote of
thanks to the chairman, the meeting broke up. It is
folly expected that the new rules and regulations of this
flourishing gift; fund, containing nearly 1,400 members,
and having 1,3502 stock, will give great satisfaction; at
least, such was the desire of the committee to effect.
• The earliest indications of the wheat harvest in
this neighbourhood have shown themselves in Low
Farness, where Mr. John Crow, of Leece, and Mr. John
Ashburner, of Gleaston-park, have already cut crops
that
the
carre excellent both in quantity and quality. Indeed
,crops generally in that tine corn district are described
t. be of the most abundant character, and would have
produced more
damage
done than an average yield but for some slight
zaine locality, by the recent tempest. Turnips, in the
yawre said to have made great progress
since the c,lbouevdor
ioeaotkher commenced, and potatoes, upon
the whole
looked better', although the disease has
shown itself in some instances. At Armathwaite,
near Carlisle, ona

King-street, Bolton, on Wednesday mor • 'max, in

seems the premises are occupied as a weaving
factory.
The miscreants, in order to effect their object,
cut a hole
in the panel of the door, through which a tin case, sup.
posed to have contained about 101 b. of gunpowder, was
inserted, connected with a fusee, which was ignited from
the outside. The explosion forced the windows out of
the building, destroyed a number of the looms and a
large quantity of cloth, and otherwise seriously injured
the building and property.
IMPORTATION OP IRON PROM CRINA.—We find
that a ship just arrived in the docks from Canton and
Hong-Kong has brought 2,243 bars of iron as 2 portion
of her cargo.
