HEALTH OF TOWNS BILL.—Mr. I%lackinnon has ,--
poned the further progress of this bill to the 6th of July
The government are not prepared to support it in all its de
tails, hence it is probable that it will not be pressed further
luring the present session. -
'he annual entertainment given by the Messrs. Chain-
if Edinburgh, to the hands in their large establish-
, it was stated by Mr. William Chambers, that of the
.nformation for the People," brought to a close during the
Aot year, no fewer than 7,000,000 sheets had befit disposed
Jf, and scattered over the United Kingdom and
colonies.
The advancement rna'cing, and al -ealy made, in t le Volta d
States, through the aid of steam, ootn in inland navigat oa
and land locomotion, is wonderful. As a proof of this fact,
it may be noticed that from the city of New York to the
city of Buffalo in the same state, being a di:taace of 500
in-
miles, the journey is now performed in 34 hours.
s During the thunder storm on Monday week, the sth
ant, four oxen were killed by the electric fluid, on the targ
of Cefncrewil, in, the parish of Llangadock. A crow, which

truck dead and scorched by the same element. at hole in

ArrouNiKg AND SoLicrrons.—The legal profession -
this neighbourhood are perhaps not aware that a bill bas per
sPd the house of Lords, and through a committee of t
flouse of Commons, entitled " A Bill for consolidating and
amending several of the Laws relating to Attornies and Soli-
citors practising in England and Wales," which.
);Peed, will seriously affect the practitioners in the Courts of
it is be-
Pleas at Durham and Lancaster. The profession in Lanca
ter have caught the alarm, and are exerting themselves to
procure the insertion of clauses retaining the same facilities
i.l now exist for the admission of attornies and solicitors into
the palatine courts ; and if the profession in this county are
desirous of protecting themselves and assisting their bre-
thren of Lancaster, it will be necessary that they exert them
and
-
selves without delay. The report is not yet brought up,
;-,enediate exertion may, therefore, yet prove successful.—

EXTRAORDINARY HAIL-STORM.—A letter receo,•e dbY
gentleman at Washington City from Tampa Bay, dated
li g hteid
sth inst., says :—" It has rained, thundered,
and
and about
more severely than I ever saw it before in my life; halt au
three o'clock it began to hail, and continued for over b
and bad it
hour, sending down hailstones as large as my fist;
not been for a small sail we had to protect us, I really believe
some of us would have had our brains knocked out. Oue
man picked up ten doves and other birds killed, and it ac-
tually killed fish in shoal water near the shore.—New York
