PATENT 211ACH1NERY for COOPERAGE.
A very important invention, or rather a series of
inventions, for making all sorts of casks and vessels,
employed by brewers, wine-merchants, or used in
the Royal or mercantile navy, has been patented by
a Mr. Rosenborg, and may be seen, in extensive ope-
ration, at the Patent Cooperage works, in ,the Wen-
lock-road, City-road, where, by means of steam
power, and by the manual labour of fourteen or fifteen
men and boys, upwards of two hundred hogsheads
are made every day, at a very great saving of time
and capenss, a hogshead being completely finished,
from the raw material, a piece of American or Memel
oak, in the almost incredible short space of four
minutes. The machinery consists of circular saws,
of a perfectly novel invention, for jointing and
backing the staves ; and of a machine called a trussing
machine, in which the staves, when shaped, are
placed, and compressed, or drawn tog3ther into a
circle, over which staves, when so compressed, the
hoops are immediately placed, and the whole ope-
ration finished. The extreme neatness and accuracy
of the work is extraordinary, every stave and every
cask being as perfect as if cast in a mould. When it
is considered that the great brewing firms of this me-
tropolis, and the exporters of ale,
,Scc., annually
expend in cooperage tens of thousands of pounds, some
idea may be formed of the importance of this inven-
tion, and of the sensation it is likely to make amongst
the " trade." It ought to be seen by every admirer
of the progress of mechanical art, and by all persons
interested in the progress of improvement.

THE NEW NOVELS.—The following interesting
new works of fiction by distinguished writers are just pub-
lished by Messrs. Colburn and Co., and may now be had at
all the libraries ; —l. Mrs. Mathews; or, Family Mysteries,
by Mrs. Trollope. 2. The Livingstones, a Story of Real
Life. 3. Cecile; or, the Pervert, by the Author of "Rock-
ingham." 4, Marian Withers, by Miss Jewsbury. 5. Alban,
a Tale by the Author of "Lady Alice." 6. The Tutor's
Ward, by the Author of " Wayfaring Sketches." 7. Clare
Abbey, by Lady Ponsonby. 8. Arthur Conway, by Captain
Milman. 9. Ralph Rutherford, a Nautical Romance, by
Admiral Fisher. 10. Caleb Field, a Tale, by the Author of
" Margaret Maitland," 1 vol. Also, just ready, a new novel
entitled " Ravenscliffe," by the Author of " Emilia Wynd-
ham," &c.
The Grand Jury of Devonshire, at the late quarter
sessions, presented a written request to the magistrates,
to use their influence to procure the abolition of that institu-
tion, as being of no utility in the administration of justice.
CHANCERY APPOINTMENTS.—The vacancies caused
by the elevation of Vice-Chancellors Sir J. L. Knight Bruce
and Lord Cranworth to the offices of Lords Justices, it will
be seen, have been filled up by the appointment of Master
Kindersley and Mr. James Parker, Q.C. The vacant Mas-
teiship in Chancery, it is believed, will be conferred upon
Mr. Swanston or Mr. W. M. James. The former gentleman
was called to the bar so long ago as 1813, and possesses the
highest reputation as a lawyer and a scholar. The notes to
Mr. Swanseon's Equity Reports have always been cited with
the highest approbation, both on the bench and at the bar.
Mr. James was called to the bar in 1831, and has had consi-
derable practice at the Chancery bar, where he represents
the Crown in charity cases for the Attorney-General. He
has also had an extensive practice on the South Wales circuit,
and is understood to be related by marriage to the Ire,ent
Master of the Rolls.—lierael.
ANOTHER STRIKE.—The example which has been
recently set by the workmen employed under Messrs. Jay,
the contractors for erecting the permanent terminus of the
Great Northern Railway at King's-cross, has, it appears,
extended to other parts of the metropolis from precisely
similar circumstances- No sooner was it known that the
men in the employ of the contractors for the works of the
Great Northern Railway had been successful in their de-
mands on Monday, than a general etrike took place amongst
the large body of bricklayers and labourers iu the employ of
Mr. Myers, the contractors for the erection of the New City
of London Hospital at Victoria Park. It is stated
risen thatade-
de-
putation from the East-end met a number of the Great
Northern workmen on Tuesday evening for the purpose of
bringing the contractors for the City of London hospital
to the same terms which the Great Northern men have suc-
ceeded in obtaining from. the Messrs: Jay and Co.
BRITISH BENEFICENT INSTITUTION.—A special
general meeting of the governors and subscribers to this
useful institution, which was founded for affording perma-
nent incomes of 301. per annum to the widows and unmar-
ried daughters of clergymen and others of a superior sta-
tion in society, was held yesterday at their offices, No. £3,

as the cries were still heard, a search was made, when
female child, which appeared to be ten or twelve days old,
was found wrapped up in a blanket, and the old woman Gor-
ham lying upon it. The child was taken out, but it died at
twelve o'clock. The prisoners, on the arrival of the boat at
Newcastle, were accordingly given into custody, but they
refused to give any account of themselves, and professed to
know neither where they lodged at Hull, the name of their
landlord, or of any shopkeeper or publican there. They said
they had no money, but on being searched 121. 10s. was
found upon Gorham, and 11. 7s. upon Miller. The prisoner
Miller claimed both the children, but there is reason to be-
lieve that she is not the mother of the youngest. They were
brought up at the borough police-court on Monday, and re-
-1 mandeti, in order that a coroner's inquest might be held.
