tinue the prospects of business for the latter part of the year
are of a gloomy chaiacter—B/ackburn Standard.

the third, Lyon Levy, a diamond merchant, January 17th,
1810.

works have generously made an allowance to each of the

ing out of the accident. The wages of the men were not 14s.
or 15s. per week, as was recently stated, but from 255. to
28s. per week.—Times.
TRADE AT CLITHEROE.—In the town of Clitheroe the
staple trade seems to be in a flourishing condition. The cot-
ton mills, we are informed, have been working full time dur-
ing the late depression, and the masters are now increasing
their establishments. The prospects in the calico printing
business, too, are very cheering, and it is the general opinion
that there will be full work for all hands during the ensuing
winter.—Blackburn Standard.

connected with the depot of the 14th regiment, at present
stationed here :—Ensign Hamilton, appointed on the 30th

SIVE REAPING.—In North Kyme the farmers are paying
30s. an acre for reaping their corn. What makes the matter
more strange is, that the reapers are up to their knees in wa-
ter, and the corn is taken away in boats, and laid upon the
grass to dry, before it can be stacked.—Lincoln Chronicle."
—How curious, that in North Kyme all the cornlands should
be knee deep under water while all the grass is perfectly dry,
•
IRON TRADE.—A correspondent of the Midland Coun-
ties Herald says " So far from any decline having taken
place, a resolution was passed at the late quarterly meeting of
iron-masters, and signed by all those present, to the effect
that the price for the ensuing quarter should be the same as
during the last." As far as relates to our own immediate
neighbourhood, we have reason to know that there is no
scarcity of orders ; though we understand them to be only
maintaining their average, not making any considerable ad-
vance.—Glamorgan Gazette.
MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAILWAY.—RESIGNATION
OF THREE DIRECTORS.—In consequence of the recent de-
cision of this company, in a general meeting of the proprie-
tors, as to the partial opening of the *line on Sundays, three
of the directors have sent in their resignation,—Messrs.
James Wood, James Heald, and John Barton. it is stated,
that they had partially assented to Sunday travelling,—that
is, so far as to agree to there being a morning and evening
train on Sunday ; but further they were not disposed to go,
and their resignation is the consequence.—Manchester
Guardian.
NEW ZEALAND.—On Saturday the new settlers, destined
to found the British' colony in New Zealand, signed articles
for the constitution of the government of that colony, on
board the Oriental, the Adelaide, and the Aurora, now lying
at Gravesend. They seemed in admirable spirits, and cer-
tainly no pains have been spared by the company to ensure
proper comfort and accommodation on the voyage. The
number of emigrants is 850, of whom 150 are capitalists, and
the rest operatives.—Whig Paper.
The magnificent fete intended to be given by Sir Robert
and Lady Peel on Friday next at Drayton-house is postponed,
owing to the measles having broken out among the children.
All the necessary arrangements were to have commenced to-
day. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge and Princess Augusta were expected to arrive on
Thursday. The grand saloon has been superbly fitted up for
the occasion, and in the banquetting-room 300 persons were
to have sat down to a hot supper of a very superior descrip-
tion.—Times.

THE SCHOOLMASTER AGAIN.—The following is a verbatim
et literatim copy of a note received from a lady of the haut
ton by her milliner, not a hundred miles from Bradford.
" Miss I have sent you a Bonet with I desire you to
halter, bleeche hand turn and make into a nice cottage ass it

&c. &c.

THE LATE LORD RENDLESHAM.—This highly respected
nobleman, whose death has been already announced by a
provincial contemporary to have taken place at noon on Fri-
day last, at Rendlesham Hall, Suffolk, was born on the 6th
of January, 1798, and was consequently at the time of his
death in the 42d year of his age. The late lord, who suc-
ceeded to the title the 3d of July, 1832, mas married the 10th
of January, 1826, to Miss Lucy Pratt, daughter of Mr. E.
R. Pratt. The deceased was Baron Rendlesham, of Rendle-
sham, in the peerage of Ireland, and was in holy orders. The
Hon. Fred. Thelluson, a twin brother of the late lord, born
the 7th of January, 1798, succeeds to the family honours.

THE WRECK OF THE " ROYAL GEORGE."—Had the
weather been favourable, Colonel Pasley would have made
another effort to-day (Saturday) to explode a cylinder, con-
taining 2,6001 b. of powder, for the purpose of blowing up the
Royal George ; but the strong wind that prevailed obliged
him to abandon the attempt till a more favourable oppor-
tunity. Various pieces of timber, which were torn from the
wreck by the successions of small explosions this week, have
been secured by the divers, brought up, and deposited in
the dock-yard. Attached to a beam by the mud was found a
guinea (now in the possession of Colonel Pasley) in as per-
fect a condition as when the ship went,down. The cook's
iron soup-ladle has also been brought up in perfect preserva-
tion.—Hampshire Telegraph.
