It is a singulat fact, that, upon the completion of
the new- line of road from Glasgow to Carlisle, in
which there is a saving of nine or ten miles, the dis-
tance from Carlisle to Edinburgh and Glasgow will
be equal, namely 94 miles. The distance from Car.
lisle to Liverpool and Manchester is also equal, viz.
120 miles ; thus making from Liverpool to Glasgow
and Edinburgh 214 miles each :—from Manchester
to Glasgow and Edinburgh likewise 214 miles each.
It may be considered, that the road between these
four principal towns, in point of distance, is con
plete, as it is difficult to conceive, from the excellence
of the present lines, any further improvement.
FATAL Oceunarscs—A melancholy event took place at kiln-
hurst, near Rotherham, on Thursday morning, at the Pottery
of JOSEPH HILL end Soxs. John Depledge and Samuel Brad-
shaw had been employed in sinking a well, for the purpose of
putting down a pump for a new dwelling-house; which, being
finished, one of them descended to ascertain the depth of wat2r ;
as he did not return, his companion went down after him ; he,
likewise, did not return ; and, unfortunately, Josi.en Hu.L, the
proprietor, with his four sons, went down the ladder in su:ces-
sion ; the last was seen to drop off, by some persons who were
standing near the mouth of the well, who immediately procured
the assistance of some men from a neighbouring Colliery ; but
it required some precautionary preparations before they coud be
prevailed upon to go down into the well, which they at length
did, and brought up the bodies of the seven men, all dead.
There were, it seems, some old coal pits close by the spot,
which had not been worked for some time, and it is conjectured
that an aperture had been made in digging the well, which ad-1
mitted the fatal damp, and caused the death of those unfortunate'
men in so instantaneous a manner. Mr. HILL, the father, was
a widower, and his four sons were unmarried; but Depledge
and Bradshaw have both left large faloilies to deplore their un-
timely fate,

on diet whichtook place in 1715, He r*liOs that:
during the short continuance of total darkness, lift
observed and counted nearly twenty Stars Awithin
the circumference of the Sun`s body), tiew:zeti the
!Vlooti and the Earth ; that & planets Jupiter,
Venus, and Mercury,,were seenwith the naked eye;
as likewise -the two fixed Stars, Capella and Alde-
baran. In England the Eclipse will not permit the
power of noticing these phenomena. I therefore
trust, throUgh the wide extended sphere of Your
Paper; to draw the attention of learned fovctgners to
the subject, which may plobahly throw a new light
on a great question of Natural Philosophy—that of
the relative distance of the Stars from our earth.

,The ktxo, it seems, intends rtsidingor some dayi
longer, at his delightful' Cottage in Windsor Great
Park. His MAJESTY enjoys excellent , health, an 4
daily rides out, attended by Sir EDMUND NAGLE.
Leamington- Spa is at this time nearly full. of fa-
shionable visitants. The Duchess Dowager of RUT...
LAND is there, and the leader of the gay assemblage.
The balls have assumed their summer brilliancy, and
the other places of amusement are well attended.
Last Week, as the Earl of HA fiEwoon was on the
Yorkshire Moor," firing with a double-barrelled gun
at a bird on the wing. the piece burst in the breech,
and cast off both locks with great violence, and to a
considerable distance; one passing over his Lord-
ship's head, the other taking the direction of the left
shoulder, but without mar king its course.
There is at present a tulip tree in full blossom, at
Pitcaithly House, near Perth, which was planted.
about a century ago, and never carried flowers be;.
fore. The trunk is about four feet and a half in cir-
cumference, and the branches cover a large portiod
of ground.

We understand that a Requisition, signed by up-
wards of SOO Householders of the Parish of St. Mary-
la-bonne, has been presented to the Churchwarden,
requesting him to call a Meeting of the Inhabitant%
to address the QUEEN, which he has refused ; but the
Requisitionists held a Meeting at the Egyptian Rooms,
Welbeck•street, yesterday, when it was deter Mined to
call such Meeting, and that Sir GERARD NOEL, Bart.
and M.P. should be requested to take the Chair, which
he has consented to do. The time and place will bi
fixed this day, of which notice will be given.
