EMPLOYMENT OF PAUPERS—CHORLTON UNION.—
Some time ago, the Poor-law guardians of the union of
Chorlton, near Manchester, determined to try the experiment
of employing the able•bodied poor applying for relief in re-
claiming and cultivating a portion of waste laud, by means of
spade husbandry. For this purpose, they applied to Sir
Thomas Joseph de Trafford, of Trafferd Park: for
pet:mission to reclaim a part of the moss, or bog
land on his estate, and he immediately in the most
liberal manner, gave them permission to use for that purpose,
free from rent, a considerable part of Trafford Moss, situate
about a mile from Stretford. It is now upwards of two years
since the experiment was commenced, and in that time nine
statute acres and a half of land have been thoroughly drained,
heavily marled, and worked by the paupers of the Union, and
are at the present time covered with crops of wheat, potatoes,
and turnips, which are not to be surpassed on the best managed
' farms, in the best cultivated county in England.—Leeds Times.

the amount was 20,437,000 rix dollars. In 1821 the
imports were 11,143,000 rix dollars ; and in 1840 they
were 18,308,000 rix-dollars." "The finances of Sweden
are in a most flourishing state."
