An addition‘to their wages, at the rate of Id. per shilling,
was paid to all the weavers in town on Saturday lam.—
Mon rose Review.

A few days ago, a beautiful milk-white jay was shot at
Woodlands, near Doncaster, and a rose-coloured thrush was
also killed at Bawtry.

A white grouse was killed last week on the Derbyshire

GOOD SHOT.—Last week, as Robert and Fletcher Men-
zies, Esqs., were returning from grouse-shooting, they ob-
served two strings of wild ducks swimming on the river
Gower, in Perthshire, upon which each fired a single shot

ROCDDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, SEPT. 17.—
There has been a better demand to-day for coarse and mid-
dling sorts of flannels, but no change in prices. The stocks
on band are low, and the weavers are in full employment.
Wool remains steady, and has undergone no change since
last week.

STATE OF TRADE.—The yarn market continues in the de-
pressed state in uhich it has been for several weeks past, and
some descriptions are rather easier to buy than on this day
week. The demand for goods, though not quite so great as
during the greater part of last week, continues to be good,
and fair prices are obtained.—Manchester Gum dian.

It should be made known to all drivers of vehicles on the
public roads, that, from the 7th of October next, under a new
act of parliament, it will be in the power of the magistracy,
upon conviction of carelessness and furious driving, to com-
mit offending patties to the treadmill, instead of.letting them
off with a fine, as under the old law.
FRENCH STEAMERS TO THE UNITED STATES.—We are
informed by gentlemen connected with the French trade,
(says the New York Journal cf Commerce,) that .it has been
determined at Havre to build four steam ships of 1,800 tons
each, to constitute a line between that port and 11,si,ew. York.
The keel of one had been laid, and arrangements were

making to complete them all, as soon as possible.
THE FYLDE.—The fine weather, says our correspondent,
has now made the harvest quite general in the neighbourhuod
of Poulton. Several ileitis of wheat have been cut • add
carried in excellent condition, and the yield will not be near
so deficient as was anticipated. Oats will even prove above
an average.—Preston Chronicle. N
ROCHDALE —During this last week, as the weather has
been extremely favourable, shearing has become very general
in the neighbourhood of Rochdale. Oats are almost the only
grain that is grown in this part of the country, and some-
thing like half the whole.is already cut. Should this week
continue as fine as the preceding, the crops here may be con-
sidered as out or danger.
Nowrti UNION RAILWAY—The works on this railway
every day cowinue to advance step by step, towards their
completion. On Tuesday, the last key-stone was inserted
on the last arch -of the Ribble viaduct, and two engines are
daily plying betwee❑ this town and Leyland, for the con-
veyance of ballast and the removal of earth for the slopes or
embankments. Should the weather continue favourable, no
doubt appears to be entertained but that the entire line will
be opened towards the middle of next month.— Preston Chron.

A disastrous accident happened in Hebden Bridge Lane,
on Thursday, to two men in the employment of Mr. Fienien,
of Todmorden, in consequence of a horse by which they
were being conveyed in a gig to Mytholmroyd, taking fright,
and becoming unmanageable. Tlky were both thrown out,
and suffered considerable injury, one .having his leg severely
fractured, and the other having his head and other parts of
his body severely contused. But little hopes are entertained
of their recovery.—Halifax Express.
EXTE Aoit DIN A ity FACT.— A curious circumstance occurred
last week, which we think can scarcely be paralleled by any
other living person "through the whole length and breadth
of the lane." A ynung woman, named Nancy Lucas, of
Hay Cute, in Cresthwaite, was fetching water front the river
Winster, which runs at a short distance frum the house, when
a large trout, actuated by some unaccountable impulse,
darted into her water-can at the moment she dipped it in the
stream! She brought the fish home, when it was found to
be nearly a pound in weight. We have often heard of birds
Seeking refuge with man from the pursuit of the hawk ; and
as the pike inhabits the Winster, we will leave the ingenious
naturalist to determine whether in this case the aforesaid un-
fortunate trout had no: been ayiug from the attack of this
feta:6°ns fish.— Kendal Mercury.
SHAMEFUL 1-1041 X.—On Tuesday evening last, a drunken
fellow coining front Ormskirk fair, instigated it is suspected
by some unworthy and disreputable pot companions whom
he met, at a public-house, in Penwortham, *ode up to the
Preston lock-up, and feigning great apprehension and ur-
gency, stated that Penwortham factory had taken fire, and
there was every probability of its being burped to the ground.
There being no apparent reason for suspecting the veracity
of this statement, the engines were got out with all possible
promptitude, the fire hell was rums, and the town placed in a
situation of considerable consternation and alarm. When
the engines—followed by hundreds of pedestrians—had pro-
ceeded about half way to the place of the alleged fire, it was
ascertained to be a false alarm. We sincerely hope that the
concoctors of this infamous hoax may be detected and
braught to justice.—Preston Chronicle.
THE Lost DON POST-OFFICE.S.—The Postmaster-general,
according, to intelligence which we have this morning re-
ceived, has decided upon the consolidation of the general and
twopenny post receiving houses in the metropolis; thus
affording a great convenience to the public, by enabling; them
to post letters for the railway morning mail, which is now
limited to the general post-office •and its branch offices: A
still further advantage will be afforded to the public by this
measure, as, in consequence of it, the general anti twopenny
post rates will be the same for all towns within the limit of
the twopenny post In addition, theiefore, to the simplicity
of the arrangement, which will do away with the distinction
that has so long existed between the receiving houses of the
general and twopenny post, the public will receive the bene-
fit of a reduction of the rate of postage. The plan is mani-
festly a considerable improvement, and as far as it extends
is a welcome "reform."—Courier.
LAND TAX ON RAILWAys.—On Tuesday the 4th inst. an
important appeal came on for hearing at 1-1:oo Green, before
the Commissioners of Laud Tax for the Bucklow Hundred;
present W. 'l' Egerton, Esq., M.P., Edward J. Lloyd, and
James 11. Leigh, Esqrs, Mr. Swift, soliciter, Liverpool, on
behalf of the Giand Junction Railway Company, appealed
against the land tax assessed upon the railway, in the townships
of Walton, Duddan, Preston, Moore, Keck wick, Aston, and
Acton, amounting altogether to £142 per anumn. Mr.Thos.
Barker, Northwich, and Mr. Nicholson, of Warrington; ap-
peared on behalf of thetownships, to support the assessments;
and the question to be decided was, the liability, or the non-
liability, of the railway to the land tax at its improved value.
After a long and patient hearing, and perusal of several'acts
of parliament, and opinions of eminent barristers, the chair-
man delivered the opinion of the court, anti declared the rail-
way liable to be assessed to the said land tax at its improved
value.
A laughable incident occurred at a concert given by Mori,
at Southampton, on Thursday fortnight. During the time
that gentleman was giving a fantasia on the violin, a game
cock, which had been hovering about the room all the morn-
ing, had contrived to make his way into the antechamber,
where the sounds of Mr. Mori's instrument reached him, am]
seemingly roused him to einnlation, for he began crowing
most lustily, and would have continued trying his strength
agaitist the violin if he had not been driven from the field.
DISCoVERy OF GOLD AND SILVER MlNEs.—Last week-, in
consequence of some ore being discovered on Monatodda, the
estate of Mr. Saar)! d Palmer, in the parish of Aughancon,
barony of Ballybritt, a scientific gentleman, and one of the
medical profession, repaired thither for the purpose of exa-
mination. After trying; several specimens in various ways;
they were-both of opinion that it was a mixture of gold and
silver, with a trifling portion of copper. We have visited the
newly discovered source of treasure. The vein from which
the ore is extracted is under a stratum of marl, with a moist,
boggy surface; but the pound admits of a fall of twenty-one
feet for the water.—Nenayh Guardian.
While an English family, residing at Boulogne, were a few
(lays ago at breakfast, one of the party, as the ' Moniteur
Parisien' states, on breaking an egg, found within it a black
substance, which was conceived to be the germ of a chicken.
Another egg was brought, in which was distinctly discovered
a horsehair. The first egg was then carefully examined, and
the black substance within it was ascertained to be a ball of
horsehair most curiously interwoven. Beth the eggs have
been deposited in the Boulogne museum; and it is supposed
that the hen which laid them hail been shut up in a stable,
and had picked up and swallowed some of. the hairs from the
horses'
• RUGBY. SEPT. 17.--The directors of the London and Bir-
mingham Railway, in addition to the satisfaction of having
completed their undertaking, had this day the honour or eon-
veving leis R. H. the Duke of Sussex on his way to Newstead
Abbey. His royal highness alighted at the Rugby station,
where several if the young gentlemen at Rugby school were
iinwaiting, in the hope of obtaining a sight of his royal high-
ness. The captain of the school presented himself, and re-
quested his royal highness to intercede with the head master
for a hotyday, which his royal highness, with his usual con-
descension and affability, immediately granted, and was
heartily cheered by the assembled scholars both then and
upon his leaving the station.
ROYAL MUNIFICENCE.—The Queen Dowager has for-
warded through the medium of the Countess of Lichfield, a
variety of fancy articles, in needle-work, and other tasteful
specimens of female ingenuity, towards the fund now raising
for the endowment of a church at Stafford, for which a fancy
bazaar is to be held in that city to-day and to-morrow. The
idea originated with the late Countess of Harrowbv ; and,
from the following distinguished parties, who will hold stalls,
a considerable sum is expected to be realised, viz.!—Her
Gime! the Duchess of Sutherland, Countess of Lichfield and
daughters, and Lady Anson, Lady HathertOn, Countess of
Cavan and Lady Fitzgerald, Lady Sarah Ingestrie, Hon,
Miss Bagot and Lady Frances Sandon, Lady Cheta end,
Lady Macdonald, Mrs. and Miss Sneyd,
COLONIAL Mann( AGEs.—ln the 'Gazette' of Tuesday ap-
pears an order by the Queen in council, dated at. Windsor
on the 7th instant, setting forth certain alterations in the
marriage act to meet the altered state and condition of to-
cjety in her Majesty's colonies and foreign plantations, and
possessions, have been found inappropriate cad inadequate
to the increased desire for- lawful matrimeny. There are
very ample and tolerably clear instructions given for the in-
tended purpose, with the forms •of the certificates to be re-
quired in certain cases, and also the forms of the registries to
be kept of the marriages so contracted,.and the governors of
the respeetive colonies are directed to publish it at length
itnniediately on their receiving it, and it is to take effect and
have the force of law front the date of its publication in the
colony.
PeoposEn. SHIP CAN IL FROM NOTTINGHAM To GAINS-
BoitoCGll.—The idea of making the river Trent navigable
as far as No:tinghatn, for vessels of a larger burden than at
present, has long been the topic of conversation, and has been
considered rather as expedient than as practicable. The river
Trent is in magnitude the third in the kingdom, and carries
to the sea great bodies of water, but it is exceedingly shallow
in some places, which prevents the facility of navigation; the
title flows from the Humber as high as Gainsborough, and
coasters of 120 to 150 tons burden are generally brought up ;
but at low neap tides they will frequently be detained for
some days, and the navigation is not always open for vessels
of a greater capacity thon sloops of SO or 90 tons. Above
Gainsborough, the numerous shallows make the river impas-
sable except for canal barges; and the object of desire has
been, so far to improve the navigation as to bring the Gains-
borough vessels up to Nottingham, without the expense,•
trouble, and hindrance of trans-shipping there. On Tuesday
evening, a highly respectable meeting was held in the Ex-
change Hall, at Nottingham, at which the Mayor presided,
preliminary to an inquiry as to the expediency And practica-
bility of a ship canal. Thomas Wakefield, Esq. stated that
he had' requested the attendance of the gentlemen present,
in consequence of having seen various allusions to the sub-
ject in the local newspapers, and also in consequence of a
communication to Mr. Felkin from Mr. Holmes, engineer,
who estimated the cost of a canal, including parts of the
river Trent, from Nottingham to Gainsborough,at I.:200,000;
he estimated the cost of a ship canal to capable of
bringing vessels of a much larger burden, at £lOO,OOO. Mr.
Felkin stated, that he had communicated to Mr. Holmes,
that he must either take up the matter entirely on his own
responsibility, or that the inhabitants of Nottingham would
adopt it as their oWn measure,. without pledging themselves
to the plans of any individual. After a general conversa-
tion, in which the idea of a ship canal to Hull was considered
by every one as altogether impracticable, but that the im-
provement of the river Trent to Gainsborongli was deserving
of considatatlon, resolutions Were passed, expressing an opi-
nion that such a c.ahat was very desirable, anti uppuipted
