PROVINCIAL OCCURRENCES

IN THE COUNTIES OF ENGLAND, AND IN WALES, SCOTLAND,
AND IRELAND.

BEDFORDSHIRE.

The Duke of Bedford, Grand Visitor of the Bedford Infirmary, has presented a second donation of 100%. to the Chaplaincy fund of that Institution. This fund was opened in 1823, for the purpose of raising a capital of 15007. capable of affording a permanent annual stipend of 507. to a Chaplain. This object has not yet been established, as a sum

of nearly 6007. is still required for the completion of the fund. His Grace having been informed of the deficiency, and that the Rev. Mr. Tattam had been obliged, by reason of illness, to withdraw his gratuitous services as Sunday Chaplain at the house, and that the patients in consequence would be deprived of regular religious instruction, has, with his accustomed regard to the interests of the

Institution and of religion, forwarded this his second benefaction to the Treasurer.

CHESHIRE.

Pursuant to public notice, the third meeting of the Stockport Political Union was lately held at Heaton Norris. The principles of this Union are similar to those of the Birmingham. The members deem triennial parliaments, universal suffrage, and vote by ballot, to be absolutely necessary for regaining and securing the political rights of the British people. At the time appointed about five hundred persons assembled, and Mr. Rayner, of Stockport, was, by acclamation, called to the chair, and after some discussion, resolutions were unanimously adopted, all favourable to radical reform. A general committee was appointed to meet every Wednesday, and district committees chosen to superintend the collections of id. per week from the Members of the Union, to defray the necessary expenses incurred in the furtherance of the objects of the association.

A Roman silver coin of Trajan was lately found in a garden in Boughton. It was struck A.D. 98. On the obverse is a head of Trajan in a fine state of preservation. Legend, Imp. Trajanus, &c. On the reverse, a captive sitting upon a shield. Legend, Cos. V.P.S.P·Q⋅R. Optimo Primo.

CUMBERLAND.

Carlisle and Newcastle Canal.-Workmen have already commenced to excavate the ground at Durran Hill, and one or two other places on the line, and the whole of the work will proceed with the utmost rapidity. In the first instance the road will be brought no farther west than to join the Penrith road at the foot of Botchergate, there being no necessity, until the line be farther extended to the east than Brampton to join the Canal Basin. By thus delaying to carry the line across the Caldew, the expenditure of much money will be saved, and the line to Brampton sooner completed, so as to bring coals to Carlisle as speedily as possible.

DERBYSHIRE.

At a Derbyshire Agricultural Meeting, lately held at Bakewell, several new members were proposed, and the party separated, gratified with the proceedings of the day. J. C. Althorp, Esq. Dinnington Hall, was elected President for the ensuing year, with Woollett Wimot, Esq. Chaddesden, Vice-President; and Mr. Bright, was reelected Secretary.

DEVONSHIRE.

The third exhibition of the South Devon and East Cornwall Horticultural Society was lately held at Plymouth. A most splendid display of fruits, flowers, foreign and indigenous plants, and if not so attractive, still not less useful, vegetables, evinced the growing zeal of contributors; which was only equalled by the very fashionable and crowded attendance of those who support such useful exhibitions, as much by personal patronage, as by their liberal subscriptions. The chair was taken by Lord Morley, who eloquently inculcated the advantages to be derived by the general encouragement of Horticulture, adduced particular reasons why its pursuit should be more attentively followed in the salubrious clime of Devon and Cornwall, and drew a pleasing inference of the

491

continual enlargement of the Society from the increasingly strenuous support which it received. Dr. Hamilton, the secretary, then addressed the company at considerable length, and we are sorry that we cannot devote sufficient space to follow him in the detail of his observations. But we must not omit the expression of our hopes, that his remarks relative to the Pita, a native of Carthagena, of the family of the Pine Apple, may not be lost upon his attentive auditory. The fibre of the Pita is exceedingly tenacious, it is capable of resisting the action of acids and of humidity, and is superior to flax, hemp, and esparto, both in durability and strength. A specimen of the Pita, from the stove of Mr. Pontey, and some of the fibres in a raw state, measuring ten feet in length, and a portion spun into cord, through the kindness of Commissioner Ross, was shown to the company. Dr. Hamilton stated that its culture had already commenced in some of the West India islands, and that there was little doubt of its becoming an important article of commerce to this country. The learned Secretary announced several subscriptions to the society, and amongst them twenty-one guineas from his Grace the Duke of Bedford, ten pounds from the noble President, Lord Morley, and two guineas each, as annual subscriptions from the Hon. Sir G. Cockburn, and Sir T. B. Martin, the Borough Members, and concluded by reading the list of prizes, as awarded by the judges.

From the "Plymouth Herald:"-We are happy to inform our readers that, at a meeting of the subscribers to the Dartmouth floating-bridge, held lately at Dartmouth, the Earl of Morley in the chair, the remaining shares necessary (according to the provisions of the Act of Parliament) for the beginning of the work were taken, and measures adopted for its immediate commencement accordingly. It is expected that the floating bridge itself (which, for greater certainty and expedition, is to be worked both by a chain across the river and steam), as well as the new roads, which are to form the approaches to it on each side, will be entirely completed by next summer. The new, very handsome line of road from Dartmouth to Plymouth, by way of Morley and Modbury, has recently been opened; thus a complete coast communication from Exeter to Plymouth, by way of Dawlish, Teignmouth, Torquay, Paignton, and Dartmonth will be effected, and this last most beautiful town at length rendered accessible to tourists travelling in carriages, and to the general traveller.

KENT.

The Gentlemen and Farmers of Kent are in the greatest consternation on account of a system of conflagration from which many of them have suf fered. Every man who has ever employed an Irishman is in constant dread of a visit. The insurgents go about in bands of one hundred and fifty, and coolly demand the keys of the barns to destroy the threshing-machines, all idea of resistance is out of the question. Signals are given by sky-rockets, and as many as fourteen stack-yards have been in flames at the same time. What adds to the alarm of the farmers, is the refusal of the Insurance Offices to ensure them, except on the most ruinous terms. The Magistrates have not been inactive, but they allege, in justification of their inability to prevent these outrages, that it is impossible to do so unless they are provided with a sufficient force, either of civil or military, to patrole the roads.

The following inscription appears on a white marble monument in St. Lawrence Church, Rams. gate. An instance, in addition to the many already known, which do credit to the heart of the King:

LANCASHIRE.

Liverpool Agricultural Society.----The establishment of a society in Liverpool for promoting improvements in agriculture in the districts surrounding that town is at length announced. The first annual meeting was lately held, when the society's premiums were awarded to the successful competitors in the show of live stock, &c. In their report the judges stated that the show was much more satisfactory than could have been anticipated, after a season so unfavourable for agricultural labours.

NORFOLK.

At a public dinner which was recently given at Yarmouth to T. W. Coke, Esq. and Sir W. H. B. Folkes, to celebrate their return as members for Norfolk, the former Gentleman, whose opinions have been looked up to with reverence as the associate of Fox, and the great supporter of the principles of that distinguished statesman, when speaking of Reform, said, "As there are a variety of opinions on that subject, and I should be sorry should I not go so far as some of my friends, I will state what my opinions are. I think every

man paying taxes should have an opportunity of voting; that every householder and every copy. holder should have the same privilege; and as we see how much better behaved members are too towards the close of a Session, I would propose to have the Parliaments triennial instead of septennial; the oftener a Member has to appeal to his constituents the better behaved he is sure to be. I go also the full length with Lord John Russell for conferring the right of representation upon the great manufacturing towns, such as Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, and Birmingham--and this is the extent of Reform to which I I go."

NORTHUMBERLAND.

Pursuant to previous announcement, a public meeting of the inhabitants of Newcastle took place, on Tuesday the 7th of September, in the Guildhall, Geo. Shadforth, Esq. the Mayor, in the chair," to attest the sympathy of Englishmen with the cause of liberty in France, and to take into consideration the expediency of opening a subscription for the relief of the wounded, and of the widows and orphans of the brave men who pe rished in the late memorable resistance of the population of Paris, to the unconstitutional mandate of a bigoted and despotic government;" when resolutions favourable to the object of the meeting were unanimously carried.

Academy of Arts, Newcastle.-This Institution will be shortly opened with the annual exhibition of modern pictures; judging from the names of many celebrated artists of London and Edinburgh, who have contributed their works, it may reasonably be anticipated that the exhibition will be equal, if not superior, to any former year. The leading subject is Calcott's grand picture of the entrance to Shields Harbour, which Sir M. W. Ridley, Bart. M.P. (who has always shown himself a distinguished promoter of the Fine Arts of this town) has, according to his promise at the annual dinner last year, kindly sent from London expressly for this exhibition, and no doubt but the lovers of painting will be highly gratified with an opportunity of inspecting so justly-esteemed a chef-d'œuvre of this eminent marine painter. The resident artists, we hear, have been making anprecedented exertions to add to the interest of the exhibition.

SUFFOLK.

A Lecture on Mechanical Philosophy was lately delivered at the Ipswich Institution, by Mr. G. Bayley. It was interesting and highly instructive; and considering the number of lectures Mr. Bayley has given during the year, the warmest thanks of the Institution are due to him for his very liberal and useful services.

SURREY.

At a meeting of the Southwark Dissenters, lately held, the following communication was read from Lord John Russell, in reply to their offer to support him in the election for Southwark :"Gentlemen, it is not possible for me to express how much I feel at this mark of your approbation. Next to the success of the great measure to which you allude, the warm return I have met with from Protestant Dissenters has been the most grateful reward of my exertions, which, if they were less splendid than those of others, had a love of religious freedom for their source, and the establishment of religious freedom for their

result. Without claiming the merit of that success, I rejoice to have been the instrument of obtaining for a large portion of my fellow-subjects a share in those blessings of entire freedom which God made for all, and men confined to a part. Allow me to ask you, Gentlemen, not to carry at this time your generous intentions into effect. Whenever I shall want your assistance, be assured that I will not scruple to receive it with cheerfulness and gratitude."

SUSSEX.

Mr. Buckingham lately delivered a lecture at the Old Ship Assembly Rooms. His lecture was long, but he was listened to with great attention. Having made some general remarks on the state of the interior of Asia, he proceeded to show that however perfect the delineations of various parts of the world might appear in maps, for no map maker, ancient or modern, would leave blanks in these descriptions, they were very far from being correct. This position he proceeded to prove from the works of Capt. Basil Hall, who states that he was sailing among hundreds of islands, forming a large archipelago, which are not only wholly unnoticed in any map, but the very space occupied by them is described as being forests on a continent ! How little was also known of the islands of Bor

neo, larger than any kingdom of Europe, of Java,
Japan, the Philippine Islands, and, in a word, of
the whole of East Asia! and pointed out how de-
sirable it was that these countries should be thrown
open to European enterprise. He then alluded to
the generally-received opinion that the Asiatics
were so opposed to all improvements, owing to
their castes, that all attempts to educate and in-
troduce knowledge amongst them were hopeless,
and contended that the reverse was the fact; that
the Asiatics were desirous of receiving knowledge,
and supported his argument by reference to the
works of Bishop Heber and Sir Stamford Raffles,
and in farther proof instanced the fact of the Rajah
of Tanjore being thoroughly acquainted with the
scientific works of Lavesier, Button, and Linnæus,
whilst, in the opinion of Bishop Heber, his judg.
ment of Shakspeare was equal to that of Lord
Byron. Mr. Buckingham then showed that ships
of war were not adapted to open commerce with
new countries, because the education of naval
officers was such as to indispose them towards
commercial pursuits; he also showed that mercan-
tile vessels were still less adapted for the purpose
-merchants insisted that the commanders of their
ships should proceed direct to their destination,
and were a ship to be lost by going out of her
course in pursuit of information of any kind, the
underwriters of Lloyd's would refuse any compen-
sation. The losses that were incurred when South
America was thrown open to competition, were
fresh in the mind of every one--the utmost igno-
rance prevailed as to the wants, the customs, and
manners of the people of that continent-the con-
sequence was, that goods ill-assorted and ill-adapted
were sent out at an immense loss. This could not
have happened had proper inquiries first been
made. It was with a view of making these in-
quiries, and obtaining scientific knowledge, that
his voyage was projected.

WARWICKSHIRE.

A great dinner was given last month by the Birmingham Political Union, in celebration of the French Revolution. Mr. Attwood took the Chair

493

at half-past one. Nearly 4000 persons, pettytradesmen, artisans, and mechanics, dined on this occasion, and were joined, after the cloth was removed, by about 2000 more. The Chairman introduced the toasts with appropriate observations. On his health being given, Mr. Attwood returned thanks, and said the "object of the Union must be attained and that object, he need not tell them, was the liberty of their country; not by violence, anarchy, or brute force, but by the peaceful, organized, and magnificent display of the will of the people. When the Barons of Runnymede (said the Chairman) recovered the liberties of England from the tyrant John, they took up the bow, and the spear, and the battle-axe, and the sword; and they were justified in so doing. Thank God, we have no occasion now to take up murderons and destructive weapons like these: the progress of education and knowledge has changed this state of things our weapons are union, truth, justice, and reason our sword is the sword of the spirit,' which is the will of the people;' and let no one doubt that this great moral sword is not sufficient for every just and useful purpose. Look round upon this assembly, and I will say, show me twenty such dinners as this, and I will show you the governors of England-not the governors by vio

lence, anarchy, or brute force, but by the moral agency of public opinion, peacefully and legally influencing the opinions and the conduct of the Government." The greatest order prevailed throughout, and the company retired at an early hour, the band playing "God save the King."

WILTSHIRE.

A Public Meeting was lately held in the TownHall, Chippenham, the Bailiff of the Borough in the Chair, for the purpose of petitioning the Legislature for the early Abolition of Slavery in our Colonies. The Bailiff opened the business of the day, by stating to the Meeting the pleasure he felt in first calling the freemen together upon a subject so fit and proper for freemen to discuss. The objects of the meeting were well supported by the Rev. W. Short, the Vicar, in an able speech, in which he contrasted the advantage of the labouring classes of Englishmen possessed over the Negro population in the West Indies; the former being admitted to give evidence in Courts of Law against oppression, where the testimony of the latter is not admitted. Even religious instruction, the Rev. Gentleman said, is not granted without permission from the master. He then detailed the demoralizing effects of separation between husband and wife, parents and children of slaves, which, be said, was giving encouragement to adultery, and reducing man to a level with the beasts that perish. Several other gentlemen spoke on the subject. One individual recommended gradually abolishing Slavery by giving up one day in every three years to the Slaves, so that they may obtain their entire freedom in thirty-eight years; by which time he considered they would be both capable of appreciating and enjoying the blessing. A Committee, which was formed in January 1824, was again re-organized, and a subscription generally entered into for forwarding the objects of the Anti-Slavery Society.

YORKSHIRE.

Mr. E. Baines, jun. lately delivered his second lecture before the members of the Leeds Mechanics' Institution: the subject was "The Rhine and its

Provinces, and Switzerland." He began by giv. ing a brief account of the Prussian provinces on the Rhine, and of the character of the Germans, and the Government of Germany. He then spoke more particularly of Aix-la-Chapelle, the ancient and celebrated residence of Charlemagne, and mentioned its Minster, with the remarkable relics contained in it; its mineral springs, manufactures, &c.

He proceeded then to sketch the route which he himself took up the Rhine, beginning with Cologue, and describing that city; the city of Coblentz; the splendid scenery of the Rhine; the fortifications of Ehrenbreitstein; the enormous rafts of timber which float down the Rhine; the city of Mentz, celebrated for the invention of the art of printing there by Gutenberg, of which a brief account was given; the Rhinegau, famous for its wines, and the free city of Frankfort. Mr. Baines next gave a general account of Switzerland, with its magnificent scenery, its stupendons mountains, glaciers, and waterfalls; its republican form of Government; its manufactures, and agricultural products. He also sketched the tour which be made through Switzerland, by Zurich, Lucerne, Altort, the Devil's Bridge, Meyringen, Lauterbrun, Berne, Lausanne, Mont Blanc, Geneva, and the Simplon. He pourtrayed the sublime panoramic view from the Righi, commanding one of the grandest prospects in the world; and gave an account of the horrible calamity which happened in 1807 by the fall of a portion of the Rossberg into the valley of Goldan, overwhelming five villages and 457 inhabitants. The lecture was concluded by a particular account of the route over the Simplon from Switzerland into Italy, one of the greatest improvements of Napoleon.

WALES.

The new road from Rhayadar to Llangerrig is now open to the public. Perhaps another instance does not occur in the Principality, nor even in England, where a road of ten miles is carried through a mountainous country in so easy and

pleasing a manner, affording at every turn scenery as varied and enchanting as that described by Continental travellers skirting the foot of the Alps. A mail coach is shortly expected to be established along it, thereby rendering incalculable advantages to the neighbouring towns of Kington, Builth, Rhayadar, Llanidloes, and Aberystwith, at the same time opening a communication between North and South Wales through a new channel. The Cardiganshire Trustees have nearly completed their line of road, intended to form a continuation from Llangerrig through the Vale of Doffrynmelindwr and the ancient village of Llanbadarn to Aberystwith, having in view from the new road many grand waterfalls and fine mountainous scenery, particularly about Pontyrwidd, little inferior to those at the Devil's Bridge, which latter place is left about three miles to the south. When the whole line is completed, a saving of two hours will be gained between Kington and Aberystwith, with less fatigue, and without the apprehension of danger from the frightful precipices that so often present themselves in travelling the present road over the Cwmtoyddwr hills.

IRELAND.

A requisition for a Grand Aggregate Meeting of the people of Ireland, to petition Parliament for the repeal of the Union, lately received many sig. natures in Dublin. It had about 800 names, most

ly Catholics; but Orangemen also signed it; and the greatest activity was exerted by the supporters of the measure, who actually canvassed the citizens for their signatures. "The cause of the Relgians; may others (meaning the Irish) imitate their bright example," is a favourite toast in every tavern in Dublin. O'Connell was at the head of the agitators, and meetings were convened for the purpose of discussing the measure in view, to be adjourned from time to time. A proclamation of the Lord-Lieutenant, however, has been issued, declaring such meetings illegal, and very properly putting them down.

COMMERCIAL AND MONEY-MARKET REPORT.

There has been a steady demand for Cotton in the metropolitan market during a great part of the month, and prices have been well kept up. From the following comparative statement of the import and delivery of cotton in Great Britain during the first nine months of the present and the preceding year, it will be seen that rather more than 100,000 bags have been required for the home consumption of 1830, above the consumption of 1829 :—1829, imported, 684,713:-exported, 93,300 :-for home consumption, 554,673:-stock, 442,600.— 1830, imported, 739,353:-exported, 27,030 : for home consumption, 654,863:-stock 346,060.

The demand for cotton at Liverpool has been rather more limited than on the preceding month, and prices were also rather lower for all descrip. tions. Up to Saturday, the 23rd, the sales, from the first day of the month, have amounted to about 24,000 of all descriptions, and the importations to about 18,000 bags.

In the Sugar Market there has been generally much heaviness, excepting in Muscovades, for which there were inquiries by many of the trade who were going out of stock. Few transactions

have taken place in refined goods since the alteration of the bounty, which is now only 36s. 9jd. for single-refined, and 43s. 24d. for double, and equal to double-refined. Owing to the advanced state of the season, foreign sugar is likely to be neglected until spring, when speculation usually commences again. Some extensive sales in sugars were made in Glasgow about the middle of the month. Molasses, both West India and home manufacture, have advanced there, and the demand continues to be greater than usual.

Public sales of Coffee have been considerable, and all went off with much briskness, especially the Jamaica descriptions suitable for the home trade. The metropolitan market continues firm. In that of Liverpool, business has been also brisk, but not quite in the same proportion. Jamaica has been more freely taken by the trade than other descriptions.

The public sales of Wool in the London market, from the 1st to the 19th, have amounted to 4457 bales, upwards of one half of which were of the growth of New South Wales. A great crowd of buyers attended at each sale, and very good prices
