EARL GREY'S VISIT TO GLASGOW AND
PAISLET.—We have heard on pretty good authority that. Earl
Grey, when in Edinburgh, will take advantage of his.proximity
to pay a visit to Glasgow and Paisley. The Noble Earl may
stay a day or two in order to-visit the public works and nume-
rous manufactories in either place. While in Glasgow he
will probably avail himself of the hospitable roof of our Lord
Provost, Mr. Grahame, of Whitehill; and the same distinction
he will, in all likelihood, extend to Wm. Hardie, Esq., the'
Lord Mayor of Paisley. By both Gentlemen, we dare say,
he will be most heartily welcomed, and entertained -in a style
befitting his rank and their high municipal office.—Glasgow
Courier.

THE LORD CHANCELLOR.---GLASGOW, AUG.
30.—This exalted functionary arrived in town yesterday after-
noon from Hamilton Palace in an open carriage ; and having
changed horses at the Eagle Inn set off for Taymouth Castle,
by way of Lochlomond. His Lordship was accompanied by
Miss Spalding, his step-daughter, Mr.. Courtenay, and his
Secretary, Mr. Edmonds. Messrs. Muir and Lumsden, two
of the Magistrates, had been in waiting at the George Hotel,
and did not reach the Eagle Inn till his Lordship had departed.

—Glasgow Courier.
The Lord Chancellor, accompanied by his brother
and his brother's bride, passed through this city on Wednesday
last, on their way to Scotland. Whilst changing horses at the
Coffee-house, the Chancellor remained in his carriage, and
attracted a great crowd of eager spectators. The Lord Bishop
of Carlisle happening to pass by at the time, tvon recognizing
the Chancellor, stopped, and their Lordships cordially shook
hands, and conversed together freely for a few minutes., The
Chancellor made particular inquiries of the landlord, Mr.
Gray, about several of the attorneys here, who, he observed,
were old clients of his, and to some of whom he desired Mr.
Gray to present his compliments. Before the Noble and
Learned Lord and his party drove off the crowd had much in-
creased.—Carlisle Patriot.

FREEDOM OF THE CITY TO LORD BROUGH-
AM.—SPECIAL MEETING OF THE TOWN COUNCIL, 28th Au-
gust, 1834—Provost BLAIKIE in the Chair.—The Provost
stated that as it was understood that the Right Honourable
HENRY LORD BROUGHAM and VAux, Lord High Chancellor
of Great Britain, would visit Aberdeen early next month, he
had called the Council together, to suggest the propriety of
embracing that opportunity of presenting him with the free-
dom of this City, in testimony of their great respect for his
Lordship, and of the high sense they entertain of his eminent
public services ; which suggestion was unanimously approved
of by the Council, and the Provost was instructed to commu-
nicate their resolution to his Lordship, and to transmit the let-
ter to Dunrobin Castle (where he was believed to be at pre-
sent,) by a special messenger, with a respectful request that
he would name the day on which it will be convenient for him
to be in Aberdeen.—Aberdeen Herald.
- -

Neither the Earl of Rosslyn nor the- Earl of Lau-
derdale signed the requisition to Earl Grey to dine with the
citizens of Edinburgh.
The Master of the Rolls, Sir John Leech, passed
through. Inverness on Tuesday, on his way to Dunrobin Castle.
The company at this ancient baronial residence is expected
this season to be unusually brilliant. The Lord Chancellor,
the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, Lord and Lady Har-
rowby, and Chief Justice Doherty, are to be of the number.—
Edinburgh Courant.

--- -
Sir Oswald Mosley has presented . an eligible and
valuable plot of ground near Bradford-street, Ancoats, Man-
chester, to the Wesleyan Methodists, on which to erect a
chapel and Sunday-school.
The Rev. J. B. M'Crea declares that there are now
thirty Independent Churches, with .five thousand members of
congregations in Ireland, five hundred of which are attached
to the Ebenezer Chapel.—Cork Herald.

SOUTHAMPTON GRAND MASONIC MEETING.-
THE DUKE OF SUSSEX.—On Tuesday last an immense con-
course of spectators assembled in the High-street in this town,
to witness the procession of the Provincial Grand Lodge of
Hampshire. In the course of the business of the Grand Lodge
a letter was read from hisßoyal Highness the Duke of Sussex,
Grand Master of the Fraternity of England (at present residing
at the mansion of T. Thistlethwayte, Esq., of Southwick Park,
in this county), expressive of his deep regret at being prevented
from attending the meeting by severe indisposition. The en-
tertainment passed off with the utmost harmony and satisfaction
to the numerous party assembled, who left the lodge a little
before twelve o'clock.

HULL MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—,The preparations
for the approaching celebration in this town, continue to be
made with unabated activity. At the Public Rooms, the de-
corating and completing of the Music Hall is in rapid pro-
gress. At the Holy Trinity the splendid patrons' gallery is
nearly completed, and the erection of the orchestra has com-
menced. The " bill of fare" for the several oratorios and
concerts has been fixed upon, and is in the printers' hand. The
music of the choruses is in full course of practice in this town,
and amongst the choristers of the West-Riding, &c., whose
valuable services have been secured. Mr. Ward is occupied
in fitting up the finger movement to the organ, and in com-
pleting the additions to that noble instrument. The gilding
of the statue of King William, in the market-place, is nearly
completed. In fact, every preliminary, through the activity
of the several cornmittees, and of the parties employed to •
perfect their arrangements, is in •.a forward state. Added to
all this, we are happy' to learn *fit there is every reason to
expect the Festival will attract an inflimof wealthy and influ-
ential visitors to the town, to the full extent of the most san-
guine anticipations.—Hull Pacht. • .
Captain Medwin's " Angler in Wales" is the only
work extant which treats at large of fishing in the principa-
lity. The Welsh solitudes are not often fully explored by
English travellers, who usually confine themselves to the
beaten tracks, and consequently little is known here of the
character and manners of the secluded mountaineers of ancient
Britain. Our piscatory tourist has, however, now penetrated,
into the remote fastnesses of St. David's people, and has given
us many curious descriptions of that worthy race, and of the
noble scenery among which they dwell ; these are fresher, and
even newer, than the eternal sketches of the Continent, and
will claim more lively attention.
A very fine eagle; about two years old, which was
taken when young from among the wild and beautiful scenery
of Glengariff, in the west of that county has been presented
by Mrs. Gillebrand, sister of Sir George Goold, Bart. of Old-
court, to the' Royal Cork Institution.

POWER OP MACHINERY IN GREAT BRITAIN.
—Mr. W. Pares, at a public meeting, lately at Birmingham,
stated, in proof of the increase of the powers of production, by
the improvement of machinery—that in 1792, the machinery
in existence was equal to the labour of ten millions of labourers
—in 1827, to 200 millions—and 1833, to 409. millions. In
the Cotton trade, spindles that used to revolve 50 times in 'a
minute, now revolve in some cases 8000 times in a minute. At
one mill at Manchester there are 136,000 spindles at work,
spinning one million two hundred .thousand miles of cotton

thread per week. Mr. Owen, at New Lanark, with 2,600
people, daily produces as much cotton yarn, as will go rolind
the earth twice and a half. The total machinery in the king-
dom is calculated now to be equal to the work of 400 millionth,
and might be increased to an incalculable extent under proper,
arrangements. —Birmingham Journal.
There is, at the present time, an apple tree in luxu..
riant blossom on the farm of, Mr...Pope,,Kingswood, Martley.
Within the last fortnight large. numbers of smpes
have appeared in this county, and last week several flocks
of fieldfares were seen, a circumstance.rather unusual in Au-
gust.—Hereford Journal.

At the annual licensing of .public-houses in Wolver-
hampton, on Friday, upwards of one hundred applications were
made, principally by keepers of beer-hkees. They were' re-
fused in Coto. ~

A magistrate of the territory (Ntw South \Voice);
whose wool produces him considerably uPviards of 5001. a-year,
told me lately that there are gentlemen in theicolony who al-
ready derive an income of -from 1,5001. to 4,000/. a-year from

their wool alone, independently of the annual increase of their
flocks ; but a few estates yield a still higher income.—Dr.

Lang's New South Wales.

GINGHAM TRADE.—The Gingham trade at Man-
chester and the neighbouring towns has dwindled away almost
to nothing ; some of the principal manufacturers bare entirely
given up the manufacture. It is believed that the repeal of th©
duty on cotton prints, which made prints so cheap, has been
the means of thus greatly lessening the demand for ginghams.
CONSOLATION TO DRAMATISTS.--"The Rivals"
" Three Weeks after Marriage" (then called " What we must
all come to") ; " Fontainbleau," " Castle of Andalusia" (first
called " Banditti of the Forest") " Blue Devils," and that
_

subsequently successful extravaganza " Life in London," were
all dammed the first night.—Mirror.

WHISKY DUTIES.—A return just published gives
the duties chargeable on Distillers for deficiency of attenuation.
From this it appears, that forty-three Irish Distillers are in-
debted to the Excise in the sum of 23,0981., which was due
and unpaid on the sth April last. The sum due by Scots
Distillers was 01. 3s. 4d., by one Distiller at Aberdeen 1 The
duties en spirits are evidently much more, laxly collected hi
Ireland than in this country.—.44n4/54.80,eintnt.

on its way to Sheffield, was overturned at a smanamlet called •
Wharnelin Side, above five miles from Sheffield. We regret
to state-that Thomas Roberts, the coachman, who was like- • •
wise a proprietor, was killed' on the Spot. The coach was •
upset, but the passengers, four in number, and a child, re-
ceived no material injury.—Doncaster Gazette.

Howisox's " COLONIES."—The design of-this
very interesting book is to acquaint the reader with the aspect
of nature, and the condition of savage and civilized man in all
parts of the world, particularly with reference to colonization.
This is a scheme which embraces infinite variety of detail, -riot •
alone connected with geography, zoology, and botany, but with
records of human adventure by sea and land in the gorgeous
.ountries of the East, in the burning clime of Africa, in the
primeval forests, and on the vast rivers of America, in the
West India Islands, and among the icebergs in the desolate
Arctic regions. The author has personally visited most of
the colonies described, and has brought down the information
connected with them to the present time.

Trade is as brisk as ever at Hawick. A half of one
of the spinning-mills sold there on Friday last at 2,500/.
Kelso Mail.

CHOLERA AT ARMAGH.—We' were yesterday
favoured with the perusal of a letter dated the 27th inst. and -
written by a respectable gentlemen in Armagh,, who gives an
alarming statement of the progress of cholera in that city.—
When the letter was written, the official report for that day
had not been jaublished ; but up to the time of writing, there
had been in all 62 cases, amongst which were 30 deaths,:l6
recoveries, and the remainder still under treatment• in the
Hospital. Amongst the deaths were those of Dr. Byrne,
the Parish Priest, his Curate, the Rev. Mr. Corry, Mrs.
Quin, wife of Mr. J. Quin, Attorney, &c. A number of per-
sons in the upper ranks are still dangerously ill, and some of
them are not expected to recover.—elfast News Letter.
To suppose, as some of our contemporaries have
done, that certain late paragraphs in the Times have been -
prompted by hostility to the repeal of the* newspaper duty, '2
appears quite ridiculous. The conductors of that journal are
not such fools as to object to what will add immeasurably toy
their power and influence. Under the projected state of -the -
press, we have not a-doubt that the circulation of the Times,
great as it now is, will be increased in at least a tenfold pro-
portion. The reduction of the duty will not benefit papers of
limited circulation at the expense of their more successful
rivals. Our position with respect to each other will be the
same after it is repealed as at this moment. There is no
reason why the journals now in advance should not keep their
position : the chances, indeed, are 10 to 1 that they will shoot
still further a-head of the others.—goining Paper.
TORPOINT STEAM BRIDGE.—Such is the con-
fidenea now placed in this mode of conveyance across the Ta-
mar, from the regularity with which it is conducted, and the
favourable report of the surveyors appointed by _the General
Post-office, that the Cornwall mail now crosses in it daily,'
without being subjected to the inconvenience of removing tho
horses.- • This--arrangement commenced on Monday evening
last, and has been continued daily during the week with" the
greatest regularity. As soon as the second bridge is built,
an alteration is to be made in the time of starting. the Western
mail, which will leave this town about half-past eight in the
evening, and arrive here in the morning in time for the Lon-
don mail. The Bath and Bristol mail, which hitherto arrived
here at half-past 12 at night, will reach this town for the first
time this evening, at five minutes after ten, completing the
journey of 135 miles in :13 hours. The public are princi-
pally indebted to Mr. Elliott, of the Royal Hotel, for this
additional accommodation. The Tavistock post will leave
at a quarter before six to-morrow evening, instead of a quarter
before seven.—This post takes all the Cornish bags, as well as
those for the North of Devon.—Devonport Telegraph.
LITTLE HAMPTON, AUG. 30.—At half-past ten
o'clock on Thursday evening _we experienced the shock of 'an
earthquake, which was very sensibly felt by all the inhabitants.
It shook all the houses in the village, and lasted for the space
of two or three seconds. Those who were in the open air at
the time, describe a rumbling` noise to have been heard, re.
sembling a very high wind. This is the first-time that we have
felt anything of the sort in this place, although at Chichester,
where this shock was also experienced still more sensibly, it is
the fourth time this summer that such a phenomenon has oc-
curred. Those on board the ships in the harbour here were
also sensible of it. The heron yacht, W. Delafeld, Esq.,
who has been here on a visit to Mr. and Lady Cecil Delafeld
on the Beach-terrace, left this harbour on Thum:lay last, for
the Earl of Cavan's seat on the coast of Hampshire. The
Arundel, belonging to the Duke of Norfolk, is expected' here
next week, to be laid up for the season. His Grace is about
to reside for a time at his princely seat, Arundel Castle, where
the usual hospitalities will doubtless be displayed.-
, The number of bricklayers, together with the la-
bourers who attend on them, out of employment in consequence
of their having struck, is computed to be about 15,000:

POTATOES.—This crop, which is reported as a
failure in several districts, looks exceedingly well in Liddes-
dale, and also in the Hawick district ; but notwithstanding of
this, and of 'the low price of meal, they have been selling: at
public sales, much higher than former seasons. About Hawick
the potatoes have sold readily at from 13Lto 181. per acre, and
they yet appear much in demand.—Kelso Mail.
We regret to learn that this year the prices given
for new wheat are -much lower .than have been known for
many years before. A good deal of the wheat brought to
market is in very bad condition, being full of bunts.; &c.—.
Boston Herald.
'THE HARVEST.—The harvest in the line south
of York, Bridlington, and Leeds, is all finished. In the
North Riding it is also advanced, and much of thi coin, par-
ticularly wheat, is housed.

TIIE WEAvEns.--rDirreteq niFetings have been
held in this city during Tasi from which it appears
that an attempt has been Maly,ViNEF9inirt of several-of the
manufacturers, to reduce 'the pgati6f Weaving. This reduc-
tion is opposed by the weavers; and it appears that, our most
considerable manufacturers also think it unnecessary. It is
not for us to take any part in a question of this sort ; but we
know the weavers did anything but earn too much when in
full work, and paid by the list, which is sought to be destroyed.
The ribbon trade of Coventry has for a long period been ex-
ceedingly bad, and it is greatly to the honour of the weavers,
that, under such severe privations, they should have been
able and disposed to avoid relief from -the parish.—Coventry
Herald.
TILE HARVEST.—In the central parts of Scotland
the present harvest will be finished by the time when it usually
commences, and, if the weather continues favourable, it will
be stacked in the finest condition. It is remarkable that the
crops on the hills are almost as far advanced as those in tha
low grounds, a circumstance attributable, perhaps,. to, the
dryness of the season, and the abundance of sunshine_;. far
there is reason to think, that it is not the trifling difference of
temperature caused by the elevation which keeps back the
corn in high districts,. but the larger quantity of moisture
which falls there, 'and the greater frequency of a cloudy at..
mosphere. A friend of ours saw excellent crops of oats on
Fala .Hill, near Middleton, and on various other bills alon
the course of the Gala two days ago, at the height of 1,100 or
1,200 feet abase the sea, and some ©f them unitl,pr the sickle.
Our English neighbours are probably not aware that oats and
barley in good years like_this,.aot only groin, but thrive, at
such elevations. The average,: height of the flat country of
the three Lothians may be. estimated -at-200 feet, Which ire
