Cutuusrman Iloa rt cu LT U RAL SocraTT.—On Tues-
day, the Ranunculus Show was held at the Shire Hall.
The room WU elegantly decorated with flowers and ever-
g: cens. The tables displayed, amongst other choice plants
from amateurs, two fine specimens of the Cactus Speciocis.
and the Iloya Carnosa, from the grounds of Peter
Wegitt, Esq. of Hatfield Priory.
Oa Wednesday last, a grand dinner took place at the
Three Cups Inn, Colchester, in honor of Col. Tyre% The
arrangements were well. planned and admirably executed.
In:the great room there were three tables parallel to each
other, headed by one which was placed across the whole
width. It having been ascertained that the number of gcn-
demi) who could intend would be greater than at first was
anticipated, an adjoining room, capable of holding about 30
persons, was also.prepared. Both rooms were decorated with
" Banners of Blue," evergreens and flowers.
The increasing population of the parish of Barking had
long rendered it matter of complaint that there was not suf.
fieieut chnrch-rootn, more particularly for the poor. This
complaint has now been removed, a neat and elegant chapel
having been meted within a distance of about lalf a mile
from the town, and in the ward of Ilford. The number of
persons whom the chapel will accommodate is as follows :
In the paws on the ground f100r.... 132

The expense of building the Chapel was something under
40001-3000 L of which was given by the Commissioners;
the remainder, excepting 3001. was contributed byalr. Dare,
and it did not cost the parish collectively a single sixpence.
Tile ceremony of consecrating the Chapel being tend.
rutted, another gratifying scene, though of a different nature,
presented itself. Ids. Dare, of Cranbrooke House. who had
so largely contributed to the spiritual wants of the poor,
most handsomely provided fur his personal friends, his
tradesmen, and neighbours, an entertainment on a very Übe.

BLACKBURN GAZETTE, JUNE 15.
Tnz Wzainza.—An epidemic, which is attributed by
the faculty to the influence of the peculiar weather we have
had for some time past, is at this time existing in this town.
The disorder is a sort of catarrh, of an inflammatory nature,
and manifests itself in lightness of the head, head-ache, vio-
lent discharge from the nostrils, slight cough, soreness of the
chest, pain in the limbs, and general langour. A similar
epidemic has been felt in Scotland and elsewhere.—Pi eston

YORK AND BOLTON IVA/L.A branch mail coach COM.
menced running on the Ist instant, between Rochdale and
Bolton. It starts from the former place every morning im-
mediately on the arrival of the York mail. By this arrange-
ment letters and parcels from Yorkshire will be received in
Bolton at the sante time as previous to the alteration in the
York and Liverpool mail, and the inconvenience and delay
occasioned by the route through Blanchester will be obviated.
BOLTON AND LEIGH RAILWAY.ThC public arc no
doubt aware that the Bolton and Leigh Railway, which corn.
municatcs with the Manchester and Liverpool railway at
Kenyon, has been in operation a considerable time for the
conveyance of merchandize to and from Liverpool, and in
supplying Bolton with coal from the different collieries
through which it pasties. We understand arrangements are
row completed for a regular cobveyance of passengers. twice
each way daily between Bolton and Liverpool. On Thum-
day. the 241 inst. a party of gentlemen went from Bolton to
Newton races, in one of the coaches built for this road;
they were conveyed by ilia a Union" locomotive steam-
engine, constructed by Messrs. Bothwell, Hick, and Co. at a
speed of travelling, which to some of the party who had not
before had an opportunity of experiencing this delightful
mode of conveyance, was perfectly astonishing ; passing
over some parts of the road at a rate of upwards of 35 miles
per hour.

EXTR AOlllll TI Alt Y AT TA H P4ENT.-At Hutton Park,
there is, at this time, a cat that is renting n brood of young
turkeys. They are ten in number, besides a chicken. The
cat shows as much affection for them as she would to a litter
of kittens, and they in return manifest the warmest attach.
meta to her. She follows and watches them whilst they are
feeding, and calls them to their nest when they have finished.
When there, the cat is exceedingly anxious rot to hurt them,
which is plainly seen by the care she takes not to step upon
them. If she is absent for a few moments, which is seldom
the case, the young birds instamly begin to chirp, and con-
tinue to do 60 until her return, when they nestle under her
in the saute manner as they would do under a hen of their
own species.—Dolton Chronicle.

PUBLIC MEITING.OII Monday evening last, a meet.
ing of the labouring classes of this town and neighbourhood
was held at the New Inn to " take into consideration the
propriety of seeding a deputy to London, to meet other de.
puties from different parts of the kingdom, for the purpose
of obtaining an extention of the elective franchise to the

ton trade is at present in a profitless condition. To those
who arc merely spinners, the prospect is bad ; fur we are
confidently assured, that yarns, which in the market will

rate of wages of 1829-30, 11t1.—Stockport Advertiser.

DR. WARWICK'S LECTURES.•OiI IA: evenings of Fri-
day and Monday last, Dr. Warwick dzliveral his first and
second lectures on chemistry, in the Music Hall, in this
town, to very respectable auditoties. It affords us much
pleasure in adding our testintory of Dr. W.'s merits as a
public lecturer, to the many expressions of approbation which
-the press have bestowed upon him : he explains his subjects
with much force and perspicuity, and the various experi-
ments by which they are illustrated are so Interesting, and
many of them so curious, as to render the course highly
amusing and instructive.

SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION.-011 Wednesday evening
last, the first of a Course of Lectures, from the pen of
J. Barlow, Esq. on " the utility of contemplating the
works of the Creator, at displayed in the structure, '
economy, and harmony of the animal and vegetable
creation," was read in the Music Hall, in this town,
to the Members of the above Society, and a respect-
able auditory, by the Reverend Jackson Porter, 31. A.
COACH ACCIDENT..-011 Wednesday morning last, the
Highflyer coach, which runs between this town and Man.
chester,..was upset in taking the sharp turn on entering Has.
lingdsn ; and the outside passengenr—twelve in nember, of
whom the greater part were femules,—were precipitated to
the ground. Many of them were draulfully bruised, and
all more or less injured; but it is a remarkable and most
providential circumstance, that no lives were lost or limbs
broken. A gentkman of this town, and three or four fe.
males were much injured, but we are glad to say they are
in a fair way of recovery, though the former is still
sufrering severely. The coachman, in jumping from the
box, had one of his °odes dislocated, and the other severely
sprained ; but, notwithstanding, he was able to drive the
coach through to Manchester. The conduct of the driver of
this coach having for some time been the subject of general
complaint, we have been anxious to ascertain the real cause
of the accident ; and, from the information we have obtained,
we cannot hold that individual as exonerated from blame.
His horses were in a gallop but a few minutes before the ac.
cident occurred, and when it did take plea, he was driving
at a very improper speed, and withoui that degree of eau-
' don which the nature of die turn rendered necessary.
