INTIMIDATION AGAIN i--EDGEHILL, FRIDAY.--A respectable
firm in the Irish trade in this town, has received a note, of whicif
the following is a copy :—"Warning is hereby given, that
you dare to exert your influence against either Thorne/Y. a

CONSECRATION FEES.—The lord bishop of this diocese col!v2Ase"
crated a new burial-ground in the parish of Eccles, on the
ult. The usual. fee having. been forwarded to his lordshil?
the churchwardens, it was immediately returned, with an Inj
motion from the chancellor of the diocese that his lordship h
relinquished the fees which were generally due to him for this
service.—Manchester Herald.

DALE-STREET.—Numerous complaints have been made d,
the almost impassable state of Dale-street, for a Io perito. e
These, it must be admitted, are too well founded. When
Commissioners commenced the mode of pavement which 'lt
been adopted in Dale-street, they. were led to believe that d.
would have been completed in six months. We understal
however, that the Commissioners have given directions that we
least
remaining portion of the street shall be finished with the le%)
possible delay. The expense incurred in the experiment
Dale-street, we are informed, will be little short of £5,000!
SILK TRADE.—The silk-weaving in the neighbouring 019,
round Manehester is moderately brisk; fancy weavers, Parei,
cularly, are very much inquired for; very, few of the come
sarcenet weavers have to wait for work, although wages are
commonly low. The sarcenet weaver cannot earn, on all Dilre
y
rage, more than Bs. per week; the fancy weaver may Baasabout 12s. No doubt but the turn-out of the silk weavers.f.l
Macclesfield has had a tendency to make work more plent)j
here. Last winter above two-thirds of the weavers in ti
neighbourhood were entirely without work.—Bolton Chronici e•

DINNER TO MR. HOPE.—We have seen a gentleman Ir
was present at the dinner given to Mr. Hope in Manchester, op
Tuesday, and he describes it as one of the most splendid thi°ro
of the kind ever witnessed. The theatre was tastefully fitted
with blue and white draperies, and different devices. Cpwari,-,
of 700 gentlemen, comprising the most influential persons n'
the town, sat down to dinner, and there was, also, present 1.
the upper tiers, between four and five hundred ladies full dre.s.„;
ed. Much enthusiasm prevailed, but it is impossible to iraas'lPo-f
the burst of feeling that arose on the health of the Duke
Wellington being proposed. The company did not begio,,,t
break up till one. The original price of a ticket was 155.,
at last five guineas were offered.
