THE WEATHER. Since our last, the weather has been faMiss Beulah Colthurst, whereby, of course, they became her vourahle, with very slight exceptions, for the labours of the field, property. Upon leaving Tranmere, a house was taken in Pem- as well as for gardening and other rural operations. The weabroke-place, the furniture, said to be Miss Colforth's, being the ther was dry, and the land after the previous frosts (succeeded furniture with which the house was furnished. Subsequently, by a fine thaw) is in prime order for ploughing, which may now another house was taken in s'. James's-walk, in the name of be said to be nearly, if not wholly completed in this county and Crowther, and an arrangement was entered into that the house Cheshire. The wheats had begun to look rather sickly, from should be kept as a boarding-house by Miss Colthurst, whose the rather strong and biting easterly winds that had prevailed; property was used to furnish the house, and she continued to but rain set in on Saturday evening, and has given the whole a Mae purchases of household property. In 1814, Crowther healthy and promising appearance. In the neighbourhood of being in reduced circumstances, a house was taken in Berry- I OrrelSkirk,Ntih eshiCe districts) h ie,have w See bseno,(aenrvded%egrdeoaut batzrnioctuletulsrear iemrestreet, and all the property of Miss Colthurst taken there. In throughout 1846,-Miss Colthurst was desirous of transferring her property pro fencing, road repairing, extension of arable surface by•ldraining provements of recent achievement, in ploughing, planting, to her sister s. Crowther, and a conveyance was drawn up for that pur inserthp plaintiff being trustee for Alice Crowther and levelling, ditches, old ponds, &C. The same is observable under the instrument during life, and afterwards for her chil- in many parts' of Cheshire. We never before, indeed, saw so dreg. many ploughs, harrows, spades, &c., at work within a given In cross-examination by Mr. KNOWLES, Miss Colthurst, to space. The spring corn is nearly all sown, and the planting of explain how she had become possessed of the money with early potatoes—great care having generally been taken with the which she bad repurchased the goods of her brother-in-law, shoots—is briskly going on, where not already finished. The said that her mother, previous to her death, had left in trust growing field crops generally give good promise, and the same for her, with her sister, Mrs. Crowther, .t'so and some little may be said'of garden produce. The fruit trees are already furniture, and the reason, she supposed, why the furniture was I assuming a delightful virgin verdure, and appear to be perfectly left to her rather than to her elder sister was, that her mother healthy. We had on Sunday night a rather chilling wind from had been married twice, and she ( Miss Colthurst) was the only the northeast, which continued nearly throughout yesterday, daughter by the second marriage. A few months back, pre- on the morning of which ice of considerable thickness appeared vious to Crowther's second bankruptcy, she made a transfer of in the neighbourhood. This, it is to be hoped, will be but a her property to the trust of the plaintiff for the benefit of her- temporary and slight check to vegetation. Last night there self during life, and after that for the benefit of her childrerhed was a little rain, with a milder atmosphere.
