A few months since several of the inhabitants of
Kensington-gore, Knightsbridge, and Brampton, sign-
ed a memorial to his Majesty, soliciting the privilege
of a gate for foot passengers into Hyde Park—there
being no accommodation of the sort between Hyde
Park-corner and Kensington, except 'through the
Horse Barracks at Knightsbridge, which is on suffer-
ance, and' is both dangerous from restive horses, and
little conducive to the morals of females entrusted with
children. The Memorial was presented by Lord
Morley to Mr. Peel, and submitted by the Right
Honourable Secretary to His Majesty, who was gra-
ciously pleased to accede to the prayer of the pet -
tioners, and orders were forthwith given for its erec-
tion ; and it is now in progress, and no doubt in a
few days will be open ; it is situated opposite Lord
Listowel's.

M. Jourdan, a French Doctor of Laws, and an
advocate of celebrity, who had, at different times, been
sent officially to England, for the purpose of making
professional investigations 'in our criminal jurispru-
deuce, died lately at Deal, whither he had gone on'a
short visit. He contemplated a speedy return to his
native country, when his strength, already much im-
paired by excessive labour, entirely failed him, and
that illness followed which terminated so fatally.
Mr. E. G. WAKEFIELD.—We have beard it ge-
nerally stated, within the last few days, that. it. is tie
intention of Edward Gibbon Wakefield to move for a
writ of habeas corpus to bring up his wife (if Mies
.Turner may be called by that name), to the Court of
King's Bench, in order that she may be delivered up
to him.—Manchester Guardian.
PRACTICABILITY OF A CANAL BETWEEN THE
PACIFIC AND THE ATLANTIC.—The province of
Choco, in the kingdom of New Grenada, contains, in
the opinion of Humboldt, a line of country, of about
eighty leagues, through which a canal could be cut,
but which would not be applicable to vessels of burden,
as the mouth of Arato, or river Darien, has only six
feet over it. This seems the only part of America in
which the chain of the Andes is entirely broken.---

IVIENAI AND CONWAY BRIDGES.--These stu-
pendous national works have been for. some time back,
and still are quite the scenes of attraction. Bangor,
Beaumaris, Conway, &c. and the various hamlets
round about, are now thronged with visitors: theSe
towns generally assume a gay appearance, effected by
the continual passing to and I'm of carriages, in
,a
great and pleasing variety. Oda moderate Calcula-
tion, it is supposed upwards of seventy thousand per-
sons, several from a considerable distance, have, dur-
ing the last six months, gratified their ardent curiosity
by .a view of these magnificent Bridges.—"-Potteq
Mercury.

A NEW ORDER or RESURRECTION MEN.—Last
week a number of dogs entered the Church-yard of
Askeaton, and set about, tearing open the graves of
some persons recently interred ; two bodies were ex-
posed to light, one of a child, which those animals
devoured most voraciously, and the greater part of the
body of a man, whose head was forcibly torn from the
trunk. Some of the inhabitants got alarmed on dis-
covering this dreadful spectacle, and set a watch on the
Church-yard the following night, when the dogs again
returned, but were immediately fired on, and one of
them shot; the others fled with the greatest celerity.—
Dublin Morning Register.
SINGULAR MARRIAGE. On Thursday last, Mi.
James Maddock, of Leek, was married at Prestbury
feetod
church, to Miss Harriet Smith. The bridegroom calls
himself 48 years of age, the public voice proclaims him to
he 54. The bride, who is sister to his first wife, is a
fine-looking woman of 19. The enamoured bride-
groom, who goes upon crutches, is 31 inches in height,
he has two children now living, by his former wife ;
the eldest daughter is an elegant girl, atleast
tall. The party were conveyed to church in a cart,
and Mr. Maddock, by reason of his dwarfish stature,
was accommodated with a seat on his fair lady's lap.—

A LITERARY SIL
EARC— proof of the good
opinion opinion held by the public respecting the lucrative na-
ture of the Literary Gazette, we have to announce
that it's office was tthis morning
broken open by foot,
and robbed of three shillings, pads, being the sum
total of the last week's sale. We had always heard
that the Gazette was a profit bl a e concern ' • but had 0
idea that it was profitable to such an extent. We un-
derstand, moreover, that these burglars
decamped with
a pair of " Odes to Phyllis," two " SoUnets on if
Steam-boat," and " An Elegy on the Moon ;
" all in-
tended for insertion next week.

14ANCtIESTER, TUESDAY, SEPT. S.

(PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
The improvement in our market, which we noticed
in our report of. Saturday last, was fully supported yes-
terday, and is very considerably increased to-day ; and
we have really been much pleased to witness that
bustle and liveliness which, in olden times, we were
wont to experience and to enjoy. We would willingly
persuade ourselves that it is an earnest that our days
of darkness and adversity are 110 W fast drawing to a
close, and that a far brighter and more cheering pros-
pect is about to break upon our vvoe-bestrieken eyes.
Certain, however, it is, that we have had a very good
day. Our printing-houses are most of them fully at
work. Power-loom cloth has gone off at an advance
on Saturday's prices. The Blackburn manufacturers
are literally. holding! back their goods for better prices.
Spinners have obtained an advance on their yarns ;
which we suggested, on Saturday last, as highly pro-
bable. Some extensive orders from different foreign
houses have to-day been rejected ; from the circum-
stance of the limits of their prices being below the cur-
rent prices of our markets, although it is probable that
they were fully eq.ual to them at the time they were first
given.
