We observe that, by an union of the interests of two
of the Shipping Companies trading between London
and Leith, an important improvement is immediately
to-take place in the conveyance between these Ports,
as the Smacks belonging to the New Company will
now sail nearly every other day from London and
Leith. We understand that the small sized Smacks
formerly employed by those Companies are to be put
in the trade between Greenock and Belfast, from
which Ports they are to sail, on fixed days, with the
same punctuality as the London Smacks now do, by
which means they will greatly improve the convey-
ance for passengers and goods between the West of
Scotland and North of Ireland.—See Advertisement.
The if akffield Journal states, as a proof that the.
times are getting bctter, that a clothier, of Ossett,.
ten miles from thence, of the name of William Smith,. •
.?sold three pieces of cloth, in the Cloth-hall, at Leeds,
on the 11th of August, 1818, since which time he has
attended the market twice a week till the 15th April,
1820, on which day, and not before, he sold two
other pieces of cloth to a merchant in Leeds, which
cost him ten-pence a yard more than he sold them
for ; so that he has travelled to and from market, in
the accomplishment of this profitable business, no less
than 3,500 miles. This, we fear, is not an untom-
mon case.—Leeds Mercury.
GLASGOW, Mnr-27.—1t is particularly gratifying
to be able to state that the trade of this town conti-
nues in progressive improvement. Commercial men
are gradually extending their business; and are daily
getting fairer prospects and better spirits. Weavers
for every kind of fine plain work, are in considerable
request. The wages of weaving are a little higher.
DOVER, MAY 28.—Besides the eleven smugglers
released in the late riot, there were 13 other prisoners
in jail, two of whom escaped, but one of them, a
smu*gler, returned voluntarily, after seeing his wife,
to Ins confinement. The jail is a very old and in-
secure building; a new jail, under plans of eminent
surveyors, is commencing building, on ground pur-
chased by the Magistrates, adjoining the old build-
It is a fortunate circumstance, the Magistrates
did not authorize the military to fire, for had they so
done, great slaughter must have ensued, their being
amongst the crowd numbers of women and children.
ten of whom, it is said, were the distracted wives of,
the unfortunate smugglers, with forty children, all
belonging to Folkstone. •
