CRIME IN PRESTON.—Within the last two months, there
have been more committals for felony from the borough petit
sessions than have ever been previously known in the same
period. We believe up to this day, since last sessions, forty

ber than has ever before been committed for one quarter, and
it yet wants three weeks to the holding of the next sessions.

The accounts which have reached us from the grain-ship-
ping ports up the Baltic, state that the demand for wheat has
become active, mostly on English accounts, and an advance
of from ls. to 2s. per quarter has been obtained in the prices

Stetting ; whilst nearly 100,000 quarters of wheat have been
already collected in the above ports for shipment to this
country about May next.—Farmer's Journal,

A STREET BRIDGE, LONDON..--A plan has been formed

A PREPARATORY STUDY.—Before any man sets out to
invent perpetual motion, we recommend his practising the
trick of getting into a basket, and lifting himself by the
handles. When he succeeds at that, he can go ahead with
perpetual motion with some prospect of success.
It would seem as if the ministers were, at last, determined

a bill for the suppression of mendicancy in Ireland. Do that,
and, " Daniel's occupation is gone."—Kentith Observer.

the only three Lord Mayors in the empire, met at the Levee

SHEEP MEDICINE.—During the present lambing season,
many flock-masters have lost an unusual number of ewes
after lambing. An experienced agriculturist has furnished
the following receipt, which has in a very great number of
instances been found to have almost invariable success. If,
after lambing, the ewe shows symptoms of failing, administer
a table-spoonful of sweet spirit of nitre in a quarter of a
pint of warm water, repeating the dose every twelve hours if
necessary.
