right to-make a servile copy of it, Which appeared
to have been done, for in pages together a single
letter was not altered. !With respect to the affidavit
of Mr. Benning, stating tf•at the plaitrtiffs had sub-
scribed for 25 copies of the work as long back as
the 7th of November, and therefore they must have
been acquainted with the contents a long time before
making this application, he did not think that was
by any means clear, for it could not he supposed
that a bookseller was immediately to become ac-
quainted with the contents of all the books that
passed through his hand. Under all the circum-
stances he felt no hesitation in granting the motion.
—lnjuaction granted.
Several other motions were disposed of during the
morning, none of which possessed any public in-
terest.

A large silk factory is in the course of erection
at Ashton-under-Lyne, in the connection of a most re•

spectable establishment in the silk trade at Manchester.—

The Small Pox is, we are sorry to hear,
fatally prevalent in this town.—Nottingham Review.

The body of a male infant was on Sunday dis-
covered in the river Soar, at Quorndon. From the ap-
pearance of the body, it is evident that it had been Antic.
dered before it had been consigned to the stream.--Not-
tingham Review.

THE HOSIERY TRADE.—At a meeting of
he hosiers of Leicester, held last week, at which abuut 60

attended, it was determined to cease manufacturing goods

For one month to come. The cause for this measure, we

understand, is the want of demand in the market. —Co-
ventry Herald.

DISTRESS AMONG THE WEAVERS.-
The dreadful distress among the weavers in and around
Glasgow is still on the increase; and the Magistrates of
that town, with all their experience and resources, find it
no easy matter to provide out-door work, and keep the
excitement of the starring multitude within bounds. A
general meeting of delegates was held on Saturday, at
which a Committee was appointed to consult Professor
Davinson, or some other eminent lawyer, on the nature
and extent of the Scotch Poor Laws, preparatory to tak-
ing legal measures to obtain parochial assistance--
Scotsman.

A correspondent writes, " The Sadlerites of
Newark are almost frantic with joy at the speech of their
representative, many of them in the heat of their zeal,
declare that it deserves to be printed in letters of gold.
The speech has I een reprinted and hawked about among
the reds, as the finest piece of eloquence that has been
heard in the walls of St. Stephen since the days of PITT ;
we believe one half that was printed in this pamphlet was
never spoken by Mr. SADLEll.."—Nottingham Review.

RARA Avis.—A very singular bird, of the
partridge kind, has for some months been seen on the Fox-
hill farm, near this town. In size, it is somewhat smaller
than the generality of the species, and front its peculiar
formation, it is supposed to be a bird of passage. It has
latterly become quite domiciliated, enters the house, and
feeds from the bands of the inmates, without the least ap-
parent fear or apprehension.—Nuttingham Review.
BON-MOT OF THE CHEVALIER GATTI.—
The Chevalier Garrz, himself a skilful physician, once
said to the Grand Duke of TUSCANY, " When a person is
sick, it is a dispute between the patient and the disease :
a physician is called in ; and he comes with a great stick
in his hand to decide the quarrel : if it should fall upon
the disease, he cures the patient; if upon the patient, it
kills hire.

HULL JUNCTION DOCK.—An accident of
an unpleasant nature occurred a few days ago, which wi 1
retard the completion of this 'great undertaking, by a
leakage of water issuing from under the old wall adjoin-
ing the coffer dani, on the Whitefriarsgate side. The town
of Hull is now completely surrounded with water.—Don-
raster Gazette.

Our Assizes comruence this day (Saturday)
before Lord Chief Justice BEST, and Sir J. BURROUGH,
Knt. The Calendar proves a heavy one, there being 65
prisoners in the county list, the particulars of which, with
the sentences of those passed, we will give in our next.—
Leicester Journal.
At the Assizes for this county, the business
of which will commence at Thetford, on Monday next,
(before Mr. Baron VAUGHAN), there are nearly eighty
prisoners for trial, viz, three for highway robberies, four
for horse-stealing, two for sacrilege, three for setting fire
to hay-ricks, six for poaching, and the rest for burglaries,
sheep-stealing, fowl-stealing, and other felenies.—Notfo/k
Chronicle.

Under the old laws of Egypt, ROLLIN in-
forms us that a man who brought a litigious action
against another, on its failure was obliged to undergo the
same consequences that he would have entailed upon his
opponent.

DAVID HUNTER, who has been confined in
the Tolbooth of the City upwards of twenty-eight years,
having been convicted of murdering a woman near Liber-
ton, but who had his sentence commuted on account of
insanity, died on Wednesday morning. fie was about 70
years of.age, and had not left his cell for several years.—
Edinburgh Evening Courant.
A short time ago, Mr. SMITH'S men, of
Rose Cottage, near Ashbourne, turned up a rabbit's nest
with the plough, containing four young ones. Being too
young to stand the least chance of surviving in their ex-
posed situation, they took them home as a treat for a grey-
hound bitch that is now suckling a litter of six puppies.—
To their surprise, instead of greedily devouring the rab-
bits as they expected, she carried them tenderly and care-
fully in her mouth to her nest, and seemed to consider
them a most welcome addition to her family, bestowing
upon them the same fondling care,ses, and offering
them a share of the same support which nature had
furnished for her own offspring. This the poor rab-
bits did not refuse, and there appeared to be no doubt of
their doing well. Unfortunately, hoWever, they were
doomed to suffer death from their young companions,
thougk not exactly in the manner that greyhounds gene-
rally kill rabbits. One after another got overlaid by its
rude and robust foster-brother and sister, and the poor
mother, with evident reluctance and regret, saw them car-
Tied awa.y, and did not part with them, even when dead,
without remonstrating against it as much as she durst.—
Nottingham Review.
