The Rev. Joseph Camplin Prosser, perpetual
Curate of Newchurch, Monmouthshire, has been instituted by
the Lord Bishop of Llandaff to the Rectory of Itton. Patron,
W. Curre, Esq., of Itton Court, near Chepstow.
The general trade of this district (Newcastle)
has been considerably injured by the last " stick" of the pit-
men, and by their refusing since to work more than six or
seven hours a day. A report of the committee of the coal-
owners has just been published, in which they state, that from
these causes, during the past year, 317,519 chaldrons, or 841,425
tons, less of coals have been wrought than would have been if
no such cessation or restriction of labour had taken place. Cal-
culating these coals at 18s. per ton, they amount to the enor-
mous sum of 757,282/. Assuming the one-third only of this
quantity could have been sold, of which the coal-owners say
there can exist no doubt, from the actual vend and the time the
ships were kept waiting, the loss to the pitmen themselves, and
to others engaged in the general business of the place, appears
greatly to exceed 2:AWOl.—Tyne Mercury.
PAFID GROWTH OF FISH.—" The rapid
growth of some fish is very extraordinary. I saw three pike
taken out of a pond in Staffordshire, belonging to the present
Sir Jervoise Clark Jervoise, two of which weighed 361 b. each,
and the other 351 b. The pond was fished every seven years,
and, supposing that store pike of 61b. or 71b. weight were left in
it, the growth of the pike in question must have been at the
rate of at least 41b. a-year. Salmon, however, grow much
faster. It is now ascertained that grilse, or young salmon,
of from 211 b. to 31b. weight have been sent to the London
markets in the month of May, the spawn from which they
come having only been deposited in the preceding October
or November, and the ova taking three months of the time to
quicken. It has also been ascertained, by experiment, that a
grilse which weighed 61b. :in February, after spawning, has,
on its return from the sea in September, weighed 131 b. ; and a
salmon-fry of April will in June weigh 41b., and in August 61b."

HERTFORD, MARCH 20.—ELOPEMENT.--
About half-past five o'clock on Thursday afternoon a chaise and
four drove up to the Green Man posting-house, Barnet, at a
desperate rate. Inside was a young lady of eighteen or nineteen
years of age, attended by her lady's maid and accompanied by a
gay Lothario, by far her senior in years, who was recognised
by some of Mr. Newman's establishment as an half.pay officer
in the army. To the inquiry of " Horses on, Sir ?" he au.
swered, " We must get you to tell us the way ; we arc of to
Gretna Green." They received the necessary information, and
in a few minutes were again off at full speed, proceeding across
Hadley-common at a rate of not less than sixteen or eighteen
miles an hour. From the postboys who drove the couple to
Barnet nothing more waA learnt than the fact of their coming to
Mr. Newman's yard in Regent-street, and ordering a chaise and
tour to Barnet with all possible celerity. Betwen ten and eleven
o'clock at night the lady was pursued by her father and brother,
attended by a Bow.street officer, who came posting through
Barnet at the same killing pace. The young lady was then
stated to be an only daughter, and the possessor of conside-
rable property on her coming of age. The runaways passed the
Leeds coach at Stamford at five o'clock on ri Fclay morning, and
her father was then about three stages behind.—County Press.
