Baeao.—The Bakers in various parts of the me.
tropolis have furnished th►mselves with a weighing
wahine to comply with the Bread Regulation Act,
which requires all bread sold in the shop, with the
exception of fancy bread, to be weighed. The ma.
chine is an open scale, operating as a lever upon a
graduated arch. As this Dew machine may afford
more facilities for fraud than the ordinary scales sad
weights, it has been advised that the Inquest Juries
should not be backward in their visits. The Act will
commence on Saturday.

NORWICH. Serr. 25.—Notwithstanding the united
efforts of t►e Magistracy and the peace•offcers. and
the severe examples made by the Courts of Justice on
offenders, the dreadful practice of machlss•breakieg
has bees again resumed by the deluded populace in
this county. A great canceling of labourers and others
broke in pieces and destroyed a threshing machine at
Attleburgh, on Wednesday last; and, on Thursday,
a number assembled in the street opposite the premises
of Mrs. Pilgrim. of Winfarthiug, and although the
peaco-officers most earnestly intrusted them to desist,
and !pointed ons to them the illegality and danger of
such proceedings, and ►ow determined the Magistrates
were to put the law in force in all its rigour against
offenders, they Immediately proceeded to invest the
premises, and having taken up the outward parts of a
threshing mac►ine there at work. the property of Ro-
bert Copp's& of Dies, mounted it on its carriage, drew
it away with shouts of triumph, and plunged it into a
large pit. in the parish of Sueltanger, leaving it sank
in fourteen feet water. where it still remains.—(ilury

The W►ite Fast is one of the strictest *Hods

those whe are particularly rigid in the observance of
the Jewish rites wear the shrouds in which they iotend
to be belied. As soon as the stars appear, or the ever;
ing closer In, the Hymn of Death is repeated three
times over in a loud voice by the whole congregation ;
the High Priest repeating it first. On Tuesday evening
the service commenced at six o'clock, and ended
at balf•pest ten. The following morning it re-cum-
emoted, at six o'clock, and ended in the evening, at
half-past six. When it was dark, the Hebrews pro-
ceeded to break their fast; for, during these twenty-
four hours, they partook of no food, either wet or dr►.
The synagogue, in Doke•street, Aldgate, was coup
