POOLE, MAY 11.—Public.an.xiety and curiosity
are strongly excited. here, by the.hourly expectation of the ar-
rival in the harbour of our new peal of eight bells, from the
foundry at Downhant; Norfolk. By the authority-of some his-
torians, it appears; there were formerly a peal of bells in this
town, which were, sold in the reign.of our Sixth EnwAnn, by
order. of the Duke of SomEnsvr, towards defraying the 'ex-
pence of fortifying the place ; since which period; • there have
been only one large bell and a smaller one, commonly Oalled.
the Saint's Bell. The Gentlemen here, aided. by munificent
gifts from the Corporation and our highly-resp,_tted Represen-
tatives, have evinced their accustomed liberality in raising, by
subscription, about £7OO for the bells. Several Societies of
Ringers in the neighbourhood have already applied 'for per-
mission to assist at the opening of the peal,. and it is confidently
expected that a vast concourse of amateurs will visit us on that
interesting occasion. An Sunday tlie6th inst. the annual sermon, ,
for the benefit of the Sunday Schools, was preached at the
new Church, by the. Rev. P. W. Jolliffe, from the 4th chap.
Proverbs, ver. 11: " I lave taught thee in the way of wisdom,
I have led thee in right paths." After which a collection was
made for the benefit of this laudable institution, to the amount
of £ll Is. 4d. The weather was very unfavourable towardsthe
evening, which prevented many from attending who would
otherwise have been present.. On the 'Wednesday following,
being the anniversary, the boys and girls of the school, attended
by the teachers, &c. walked in procession from the town-hall,
through the principal streets of the town, to the church, to at-
tend divine service, at the close of which they again joinedand
returned to the town-ball, where they were rewarded according
to their respective merits, and for good behaviour for the last
year,

We are happy to learn from Lanark, in Upper
Canada, that up to the middle of February affairs
were going on well with the infant settlement.
Our enterprising countrymen found every thing
correspondent to their e.xpectations-; and all ex-
press the greatest gratitude for the kindness
which they have. experienced from Government.
An intelligent writer, whose letter is lying be-
fore us, mentions that seven weeks sufficed to
remove him from, Greenock to Lanarki five' to
Quebeck, and two afterwards. The land abounds

in the sugar maple ; and: they have been inge,
pious enough to find- in the woods a plant that
answers all the .-purposes 'of tea. With good
land, no rent, and nothing that in the mother
country could be called taxes, if they do not
make their bread of it, they will have themselves
to blame-," They wish their relations were around
them. They find the work heavy; but they
have pleasure in it, 'since 64 it is for themselves
and their children." In consequence of the slum-
ber, of new settlers, provisions were higher than
usual, flour being 355. a barrel, or 74d. the quan-
tity necessary for a quarters loaf.; meat 4d. to
6d. But -the higher. the better for them, since
they would all be sellers next autumn. The snow
began in November, and•covered the earth twc
feet deep. The weather was less cold than they
looked for. The unclouded sun, during the day,
had such.an effect that they were perfectly able
to work every day in felling timber, and. gene-
rally without their coats. We observe, from the
orthography, that the provincial prof otinciation
of the name .of the settlement is adopted
Laneric.—(Gldsgoto ehronicle,)

There are at present very great prospects of
our being blessed with ,an abundant harvest, and
a prolific fruit season. The corn in this neigh-
bourhood looks 'particularly healthy, and the
blossom of the fruit trees is well set. The crop
of apples is not expected to be so- general as
other fruit, several large orchards in this neigh-
bourhood being almost destitute of blossoM, but
at some places they are set very thick. The frosty
nights of last week seem not to appearance to have
affected either fruit or corn.--(Maidstone Jour.)
At the Petty Sessions held at Salisbury last Week, a farmer
in the neighbourhood was fined in the mitigated penalty of 51.
and costs, under the provisions of a very wholesome stattit
passed in the late King's reign, for having named out Iris" sheep
in the common fields infested with the mange. •
Last week a female eagle was shot whilst
coming off her nest, which was situated near
the head, of Loa' Fine. It is of uncommon
Size, and said to be one of the true Scottish
tribe. From the bill to the tip rf the tail
it measures 3 feet 11 inches ; between the tips
of the wings 7 feet 3 inches, round the
neck 9 "inches, round the lek 9 inches and a half
even the hind claw. is 2R inches in thickness.
From.the power possessed by this bird it,must '
have been a formidable foe to the Highland
lambs, and possessed sufficient strength and
daring even to carry oil' a child if hard pushed.—
