This town was inundated last week by a horde of wild men
from the mountains, all sent a journey of fifty miles by their
careful Pastor to " get tickets:from the Doctor" for hearing
the Bible read ! The poor people had resolutely refused to
give up listening to the Word of God until their infallible
guide succeeded in convincing them that " the Bible was
composed by Luther ! !"—Kerry Post.
The miners engaged in sinking a shaft on the land of T. J.
Trafford, Esq. near Patricroft, have at length, after a labour
of nearly three years, found a vein of coal at the extraordi-
nary depth of 1,350 feet from the surface of the earth.
We are authorised to contradict a statement that has ap-
peared in this and several other papers, that Lord Cardigan
had assigned over his property, and paid heavy charges
respecting it, such statement being wholly devoid of truth,
and without foundation.—Morning Post.
The re-appointment of the select committee of last year
has caused some stir among the banking interest. Delegates
from the various banks, consequently, are expected in town,
and head-quarters have been engaged, where deliberations
may take place, and unity of action be secured.—Times.

LIFE INSURANCES, &c.—Mr. Godson has just placed on
the notice books of the House of Commons, intimation of
his intention to promote a very useful inquiry, namely, to
propose the appointment of a select committee to investi-
gate " the present state of the companies for effecting as-
surances on lives and for granting annuities ;"—a measure
imperatively called for, by the gross frauds and heartless in-
fliction to which certain companies have recently made so
many victims.

THE CONSERVATIVE FitEss.—The malignity with which
the Conservative press is pursued by the " Liberals" cannot
be better exemplified than in the recent attempt to crush
ourselves and the Shropshire Conservative. In four ,years
no fewer than seven criminal informations have been intended
for us by one party, whilst in the case of our above-named
Tory contemporary. ANOTIIER application would have been
made to the court on Friday se'nnight, had not the first been
refused, the party applying for it, having publicly declared
that he had FIVE others which he should also endeavour to
obtain rules for. If this does not prove the extent to which
the " Liberals" (I) would go, in their love for their political
opponents, nothing will.—Stockport Advertiser.
CENSUS OF 1841.—The comissioners for taking the census
are actively engaged in their preparatory arrangements for
this important inquiry, It will be taken throughout the Uni-
ted Kingdom in one day, viz., on the first July. The plan '
to divide the poor-law unions of England into enume-
districts, which are required to be clearly defined •
cide with boundaries already known,
exceed 200 houses. In thinly populated parts less
houses will form a district : so that an active man may visit
every house, between sunrise and sunset on a summer's day.
For each of these districts an enumerator will be appointed,
who will act under the direction of a district registrar ofe
births and deaths ; the whole to be superintended by the
superintendent registrar of the union. It appears by tn
act, that none of the registrars can act as enumerators,em otheren
duties being assigned to them. From these arrarf.
mach
it is evident that the census is intended to be takteen
