WOODIVIT Trues.—The following is the petition of the lobs.
blunts, tithe payers of the parish of Woodbury, in the county of
Devon Sheering—
That the said parish contains a population of between 1500 and
9000 inhabitants.
That the great and small tithes of the said parish are of the value of
about 12001. per annum.
That the whole of the said tithes belong to the Vicars Choral of the
Cathedral of Exeter.
That in addition to the tithes, the said Vicars Choral possess pro-
perty in the said parish of the value of upwards of 6001. per annum.
That the said Vicars also demand heavy fees for erecting tombs and
headstones in the church-yard, but refuse to repair the thumb.
That your petitioners understand and believe that the said Vicars
allow their curate, who performs the religious duties of the parish,
only about 501. per annum.
That the said tithes have been, for a great many years past, levied:
with great rigour, the Vicars generally keeping an agent or proctor ir.
the parish, and taking the greatest part In kind, to the manifest in-
jury of agriculture, and bar to the outlay of capital and improvement
of the soli.
That there Is a common in the parish, on the borders of which many
of the poor people, by hard labour, after the close of their day's work,
cultivate small plots for potatoes, paying the lord of the manor 9s. 6d.
per annum rent per acre ; and from these poor men, many of whom
are paupers, the vicars exact either a tenth of their crops, or ss.
per acre.
Thursday se'nnight a highly respectable and numerous party of the
Cidet growers of the South Hams met at the Castle Inn, Tomes, for
the purpose of presenting Geo. Drake, of Ipplepen, Esq. with a piece
of plate, as a mark of their approbation of that gentlemen's conduct in
his strenuous exertions in the Repeal of the Duties on Cider, in the
years 1825 and 1829. The piece of plate is a handsome Tureen.
On Good Friday a fire was discovered at Farwood Farm, in the
parish of Tedbum St. Mary, supposed to be the work of an incendi-
ary. A man called at the farm in the morning, and asked for relief,
A sufficient quantity of meat and drink vu given to him, he then
asked for money, which being refused, he went away. At three o'clock
in the afternoon the fire broke out in a cow.house, where there was a
quantity of straw, and, from the direction of the wind blowing the
flame over the dwelling house, the whole premises, with the exception
of the barn and thrashing-machine, were in a very short time reduced
to ashes; a horse, worth 25 guineas, was also destroyed. It appeared
this man belonged to a gang of nine persons, among whom were two
women, who had come from Creditors, and had been lurking about the
neighbourhood looking Into barns, and their conduct creating much
suspicion.

BOLTON CHRONICLE.

Became Wuvraussain the Chroniek of the 26th ulu it was
stated, that the Bedquilt Weavers had been minpelled to submit to
a reduction of 2d In the shilling from their wages. The list, however,
which has been agreed to, and by which, we believe, their wages are
to be regulated, far exceeds that reduction; and to justify us in this
assertion, we will just give an abstract of it.

—lt is quite evident, from this Hat, that the bed-quilt weavers have
never been so unfairly and unmercifully dealt with since the existence
of the society.
On Good Friday, a great number of persons availed themselves of
the opportunity of travelling by the railway. No less than 1008 per-
sons went in the course of the day from Manchester to Liverpool, and
'1,005 from Liverpool to Manchester. making a total of 2,013 conveyed
along the line in one day! This number does not include those taken
up at the several stopping places on the road, and which may be reck.
oned at from 500 to 700 more. Not the slightest accident, or even de.
lay, was experienced by any of this immense number of travellers. The
Sampson took 203 booked passengers, besides about 20 of the Com-
pany's servants, in one trip on Friday.—Two additional engines were
landed on Fridii at Liverpool, from Mr. Stephenson's manufactory—
soaking a total eighteen engines constantly employed (many of them
night and day) on the line.
