PATENT MACHINERY 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 i❑
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-
loek-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 expense, 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 together 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, &c., !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 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 Vico-Chancellore 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-
tership 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. Swanston'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 le3l, and has had consi-
derable practice at the Chancery bar, where he represents
the Crown in charity cases for the Attorney-General. lie
has also had an extensive practice on the South Wales circuit,
and is understood to be related by marriage to the present
Master of the Rolls.—Herald.
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 contactors for the works of the
Great Northern Railway had been successful in their de-
mands on Monday, than a general strike took place amongst
the large body of bricklayers and labourers in the employ of
Mr. Myers, the contractors for the erection of the New City
et London Hospital at Victoria Park. It is stated that a de-
putation from the East-end men 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. 13,
Lincoln's Inn-fields, for the purpose of electing five annul.
tents, and for other business. The report stated that since
the foundation festival, celebrated in June, 1850, there had
been two elections, at which nine annuitants had been
elected, each of whom is now receiving an annuity of 3ul.
per annum by monthly instalments. The council had also
the gratification of announcing that the institution isn and 150
w
graced by the support of fifty ladies as patronesses, a(I
noblemen and entlemen as vice-presidents, besides about
400 governors,who are annual subscribers of one guinea and
upwards. From the balance-sheet appended to the report, it
appeared that the total receipts from all sources had amounted
to 1,187/. 195.. and after all the necessary expenses had been
paid, there was left a balance in the hands of the bankers of
2701.2 x. 10d. The chairman having opened the business,
the meeting proceeded to the election of five annuitants
from a list of thirty-eight candidates, which concluded tie
proceedings.

Newcastle, were accordingly given into custody, but they
refused to give any accoant of themselves, and professed to

landlord, or of any shopkeeper or publican there. They said
they had no money, but on being searched 121. I Os. was
found upon Gorham, and 11. 7s. upon Miller. The prisoner
