BARNSLEY LINEN Tnine.—We are hippy to find that ,
the poor weavers who remained so long in this place out of
work are now not only become employed, but that a great
ntinther of those who were c ttttt riled by the then existing
circumstances to seek work in distant places have returned
home and retained their labours. On a market day the
town rt:ain begins to have somewhat of its wonted ap-
pearance of briskness and activity.—(Slicffield Indepencl-
cat.)
CAMBERWELL F.ttn.—This mart of toys and ginteer-
bread is exempt from the fate of the other resorts of the idle
sea worthless, which have lately been suppressed in the
neighboarlmad of the nietropoli.. On Monday, therefore,
A numerous gain of London pickpockets assembled there,
acd committed the nt•wit audacious attaeks on the persons
and property of other visitors. Among those taken into
custody was a daring young thief. only II years old, named
Samuel Goddard, who was clutch', while very dexterously
uritieing a handkerchief from the neck of a child, who was
being, led by an infirm told lady. He tied- that be, and a
little boy named Bill Joie s, a playmate of his, had come
to the fair, with many others, to pick pockets ; that they
ha I stolen ten or a dozen handkerchiefs, but Bill Jones
hid them all in his hat. They tried to get several gentle-
men's watches, but only succeeded in get:ing one, which
Bill Jones had also go:. It was agreed that heshould stand
at a certain place, and whenever any of the gang made
(stole) any thing, they were to take it to him, who deposited
it in a 1144. Here he gave a description of Bill Jones, but
the of I:iled in tracing him out. The prisoner was
j committed by the bench of Magistrates for re-examine-
. thin, to give the officers an opportunity of catching Bill
. Junes.
...Grouse sheering commenced in ereat style on Tuesday.—
The. weather in some respects was not prooitioos, but as
the high wind made the birds lie close, the slaughter was
immense. The number of sportsmen from the south is great
beyond all precedent. For some days before, innumerable
dog-carts and carriages of all descriptions passing north-
wards --coddles and noddies piled to " the creek of doom,"
with baskets and other implements of war, " gare dreadful
note of preparation ;" and the loaded packages that are
every hour returning from the land of brown leather, show
how fatally " each heart it set on bloody coins's," and the
" spirit of the first born Cain reigns in all bosoms." The
game is not so plentiful as last year, but it is sufficiently so
to afford excellent sport, and is in fine condition.—(Pertls-
. shire Courier.)
• An incident occurred on Friday last, on Eden Quay,
which is worthy of remaik, as being highly characteristic
of the careless enterprise of the Irish. Two country
men met accidentally, when the •following dialogue en.

Oh! the devil a use in complaining—l've nothing to do,
and that's the reason I'm going over to Liverpool. Al.!
what suppose you come—have you any money ?
(Putting his hand in the pocket of what appeared to have
been originally a pair of breeches).—Whv, I've tour teupen•
nies—but what would I do for sea-store?
Oh ! come along man, I'll engage we'll make it mit.
liy my soul, then, here goes !
And off Paddy and Jack set on the iostent for Liverpool.
