LESIASTiCA PROSOCTIONS.
In the Sean of Monday last, we inserted an account of the pro.
motion of the Rev.' Dr. Bull, of Christ Church, Oxford, to the
Archdeaconry of Cornwall. This promotion took place in ont,e-
quence of the resignation of Archdeacon Short, and not, as lotattd is
our Paper, his decease.

Letters From the Havnnah, written by American
merchants, and which have lately been received at
Madrid, state that the plague rages in a dreailril
manner in Venezuela; and that it has alrea fy carried
0ff9,000 persons. This terrible scourge spares neither
quadrupeds nor even birds.
The letters from Leipsic say that the fair is
worse than usual; there are but few buyers or sell.•rs.
Ordinary cliths and linens had an indifferent sal! ; silks
atone were in demand. _ _

As a proof of the growing prosper ity7of Scotland, we
may state, that the revenue of the Post OtEce for the
year ended the .sth instant, has exceeded that f any
previous year by a considerable sum. The revenue i f
Edinburgh alone amounts, we understand, to nearly
.44,0001. for the last ear, and the gross revenge of
Scotland to considerably above 200,0001 .
During the course of the last meek, the petitions for
the repeal of the Corn Lows, and the Abolition. of
Slavery, have lain at the Town 114, N stringhass, for
&features. The former has beis signed by about
14,000 in Nottingham, and 5,000 t, in the villages;
making I total of 19.000; the: latter . boa been signed
by about 5,600. ;
The Chinese fresnestly form, packthread 'from'slips
of piper twitted; and packets at times come to' this
country boan.d,round with this sort of string. The
toughness of their. paper adapts it in a peculiar. malaria
for this.. use. and makes it surpass any-similar article
that we could. ptoduce. Perhaps, homever, it may hot
be uninteresting to suggest. that the .common whited-
brown. paper, cut into slips .anti twi?tid, makes a mode-
rately strong.tuine, whict; would ful51;• in the absence
