anal beauty of • the church is also much increased
Iness of its site, and by the exquisitely appropriate
stone of which it has been built, and which is pro-
)y almost all who have seen it to be the most
hich could possibly have been selected for the

flounced I

purpose

The spire is of light and elegant proportions, and is a most
conspicuous object from almost every part of the surrounding

country

The interior is perfectly open and unobstructed by galleries,
excepting a very small organ gallery projecting slightly beyond
the toner arch. The nave is fitted up with open sittings with
carved stall ends, and the chancel is left entirely free from
any fixed seats. The nave has a simple but elegant grained
roof, with a good clere-story. The most striking features,
however, in the interior are the tile paving, and the ceiling
and painted windows of the chancel. The paving throughout
is of encaustic tiles, made at Mr. Minton's manufactory,
in imitation of those used at cathedrals and ancient churches,
consisting of symbolical, ornamental, and heraldic devices;
and for beauty of execution and arrangement, and for variety
and richness of pattern, exceed, it is said, anything of the
kind which has yet been executed. Those in the chancel
have a rich orange enamel upon the inlayed patterns.
The ceiling of the chancel is of a multangular form, divided
by wooden mouldings into panels, which are fitted in by tiles
of a rich blue, studded with stars of gold, in imitation of the
decorated ceilings of some early churches, and when seen in
combination with the enamelled floor and the stained win-
dows, presents a richness of effect seldom attained in modern,
buildings. The windows in the chancel, five in nuniber, are
entirely filled with stained glass. The general patterns are
of a simply ornamented kind, in accordance with old windows
of a corresponding date, but the tracery contains symbolical
devices, those in the eastern window bearing reference to the
Holy Divinity, and those in the side windows to the four
evangelists. These windows have been executed by Mr.
Ward, of London, and may he considered to be amongst the
most successful attempts at the restoration of this beautiful
art.

The pulpit and font are stone, and are very ornamental in
their design ; the former is attached to the chancel pier, and
the latter is placed near the south porch entrance. The altar
table will be of stone, inlaid with rich Mosaic; and an organ
is now being built by Messrs. Bewsher and Fleetwood, of
Liverpool. A commodious and appropriate parsonage house
has been erected. on an adjoining site, which groups in a very
agreeable manner with the church.

The church was consecrated on the 7th October, by the
Lord Bishop of Hereford.

The purchase-money of the Cowdray estate, which has
been recently bought by the Earl of Egmont, was upwards
of £309,000.

EASTER

UNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY.--The ad-
'journed general meeting of the proprietors was held on Friday
last at the Shoreditch station. Mr. Henry Bosanquet having
taken the chair, after some general observations on the state
of the undertaking, proceeded to give an outline of the pro-
gressive increase of the traffic on the 171 miles of the line now
open to the public. In 1840, for 15 weeks, the receipts were
£10,455, for the same period, £14,990 ; and in 1842, £17,455.
The report states that the revised estimates of 1841 would be
exceeded by the sum of £200,000, arising from slips on the
line, land, compensation, &c. The receipts for the half year
had increased 25 per cent. over those of last year, leaving a
balance of £11,208, applicable to a dividend of 4s. per share.
The traffic for the half year amounted to £22,924; the dis-
bursements to £12,058, The increase of expenditure in the
line between Brentwood and Colchester was £46,000. Satis-
factory arrangements have been made with the Northern and
Eastern Company relative to the toll upon goods, and the
short passenger traffic. The directors had thought fit to op-
pose the construction of the Norwich and Yarmouth line in
Parliament, as it was proposed to run through a district into
which the Eastern Counties Company were entitled to extend
their line. The chairman, in reply to a variety of questions,
stated that the directors had no data before them to lead them
to the conclusion that the revised estimates would be mate-
rially exceeded. Mr. Braithwaite, the engineer, in reply to
inquiries from several of the shareholders, stated that, with
fine weather, the line Might be opened with a single line of
rails, for goods' traffic only, in three weeks from the present
time, and entirely opened for passenger traffic before the ex-
piration of three months. After considerable discussion on
the general prosOcts of the undertaking, a vote of thanks
was passed to the chair, and the meeting, which was a full
one, dispersed.

SALE OF BREAD.—The public are now fully aware of the
existing law in reference to this important subject, and it is
to be feared that in consequence of their ignorance, or their
not availing themselves of the simple but ample mode of pro-
tection conferred on them, they are frequently severe suf-
ferers. By the act 6 and 7, William IV. cap. 37 (1836), all
the old and conflicting laws are set aside, and one uniform
law is now made for the whole empire. The following is the
outline of the leading provisions of the statute, which it is
right the public should know and observe

1. Bread may be made and sold of such weight and size as
the bakers or sellers shall think fit. But,
2. Bread shall be sold by weight only under the penalty of
40s. for eN ery offence. (Thus, peck loaves and other measure
loaves, are prohibited.) But fancy bread and rolls are ex-
empted from the necessity of being weighed.
3. The weight shall be only according to the avoirdupois
standard of 16 ounces to the pound, and the several gradations
of a pound for any less quantity than a pound • and for every
deviation from such uniform weight, the offender is liable in
a penalty of X 5.

4. Every baker and seller of bread must have on or near
the counter a heath and scales, with proper weights, in order
that all bread sold by weight in the presence of the purchaser,
under tae penalty of £5 for each offence.
5. All bread carts are to have the like weighing apparatus,
under the like penalty.
6. All adultration of bread is punished with a penalty of
£lO, and all loaves not made wholly of wheat must be marked
with the letter M, under a penalty of £lO for each pound
weight offered for &Ile.

Any person may prosecute for the penalties. It is thus
seen that the public ought to purchase bread in the same
manner as beef or any other commodity, by seeing each loaf
weighed when purchaed, and that the weight be actually what
it is represented, according to the imperial pound or its pro..
portions, and none other.

RAORDINARY AT CHELTENHAM.—Sotre in-
genious but mischievous wag played off a well matured and
too successful trick upon a great number of the principal
tradesmen of this town, on Wednesday morning last. Let-
ters were received by that morning's post, requesting a large
assortment of the various articles in which the different par-
ties deal to be sent to Springfield House and East Court,
at Charlton Kings, on the London-road, about two miles
from Cheltenham. Accordingly all was bustle and activity,
and each outvied his neighbour in endeavouring to make the
best display before this new patron, and, as they all no
doubt imagined, wealthy and aristocratic customer. Wealthy
he must be, from the largeness of his favours, and aristocrat
was plainly to be deciphered in the style of his writing, and
the perfect nonchalance exhibited in requesting " the best
articles to be sent to my mansion." Forgetting " that all
is nut gold that glitters," and that " wise men look before
they leap," they, good easy men, punctually attended to
their written orders ; and loading porters, carts, and flys,
with all that mortals can require for their temporal neces-
sities, despatched them to the " mansion of Mr. Crump,"
on arriving at which they found that Springfield was not ca-
pable of containing the goods they intended to stow within
it ; and that East Court was not the court where they were
wanted—in fact, they found they had been hoaxed. One
tradesman had an order for some guns ; he, however, wisely
studied the benefit of his health by quietly walking, unen-
cumbered by those deadly weapons, up to enquire what kind
of guns were wanted, when he found, as he expected, that
none were required ; the lady of the house telling him that
the place had been like a fair all the day. One tradesman
took a fly filled with hats, for which, on his arrival he found
no heads. Another took his best pair of horses, but no
riders awaited their arrival. One sent two barrels of oil;
another several dozens of wine, which no one came forth to'
pay for or drink. Loads of china, linen drapery, grocery,
and in fact almost every other description of goods were sent
up, the road being literally thronged with trucks, carts, and
porters. The most strange part of the affair is that a
stretcher for the dead and a hearse were also ordered ; the
latter duly appeared, waving its sable plumes, before the
gate. All is vain conjecture as to the originator of this suc-
cessful and novel kind of hoax; but if he ever is discovered,
he will require the hide of a rhinoceros to escape harmless
from the rage of his dupes.

LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET,

NOVEMBER 3, 1842

A succession of boisterous and adverse winds has been the means
of keeping vessels with Potatoes from reaching port, so that the
quantity in dock for the past few days. has been barely sufficient to
supply our town retail trade, this coupled with the late seasonable
rains, has kept our neighbouring farmers busily engaged in pre-
paring their land for winter seed, thereby preventing them also
from bringing their usual supplies of any description of produce to
our local markets, which has enabled sellers of Potatoes at the
quays to realize an advance of 2d to 3d per measure, since this day
week. The best'destription sof Niani and Scotch Cups are now
ready sale at Is 5d to Is 6d per 901 b.
This morning our local markets were better supplied with pro-
duce than has been the case for some days past. Business closed
heavy, and late prices barely sustained.
