LOYAL UNITED FRIENDS.—On Monday evening
the adjourned meeting of the members of the No. 45
and 46 Gift Fund, to consider the nea ly-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, Cloold, Meacham, Delivett,
Fawcett, Chulove, Burns, Smart, and Deff e. Secretary
Savage resumed the business by reading the 7th article,
when, after a few words from the Chairman, the same
was adopted by the meeting. The remaining articles
were submitted to the members, and, after some slight
discussion, severally resolved upon. Messrs. Burgess,
Goold, 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
have had), and two pounds to Secretary Savage for the
important services he had rendered. After a vote of
thanks to the chairman, the meeting broke up. It is
fully expected that the new rules and regulations of this
flourishing gift fund, containing nearly 1,400 members,
and having 1,350/. stock, will give great satisfaction; at
least, such was the desire of the committee to effect.
_ ''he earliest indications of the wheat harvest in
this neighbourhood have shown themselves in Low
As
h Furness,bn r where Mr. John Crow, of Leece, and Mr. John
that are ne'ofGleaston-park, have already cut crops
excellent
both in quantity and quality. Indeed
the crops generally in that fine corn district are described
to be of the most abundant character, and would have
produced more trtan average yield but for some slight
the
damage done by
recent tempest. Turnips, in the
same locality, are said
to have made great progress
since the cloudy weather commenced, and potatoes, upon
the whole, never lookedsoen
better,i although the disease has
shown itself in some
near Carlisle on the 2(lst instances.
