CORNWALL.

The Church of the Island of Tresco (Scilly) has been considerably extended and improved by the aid of the Society for Promoting the Enlargement and Building of Churches and Chapels. Some further improvements of the Church of St. Agnes are in contemplation.

A respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Truro was lately held at the Town Hall, pursuant to a requisition to the Mayor, who was in the chair. Several resolutions were passed, and a petition to Parliament, praying for the repeal of the duties upon coal and culm carried coast wise, was agreed to.

It is in contemplation to have a very handsome new street, parallel with that called the Horsemarket, adjoining the Crescent, in Carlisle. The Earl of Lonsdale and the Corporation are laying out for sale, the fields called Aglionby Lands aud Crosby Close the site to be intersected by spacious streets twenty yards wide. It may be safely predicted that in a few years, a fine airy new town will spring up in this quarter, and probably give birth to further equally important additions and improvements.

DEVONSHIRE.

Earl Morley has addressed an explanatory letter to the Mayor of Plymouth, on the intended bridge over the Lara, which is not to be on the suspension principle. The plan now adopted has undergone the examination and obtained the unqualified approbation of three or four of the best engineers in England. It will be open to the public in about eighteen months. New roads, in various directions, communicating with the bridge, are about to be opened, which will prove of great benefit to the towns of Dartmouth, Modbury, Totnes, Kingsbridge, Plymouth, &c.

DORSETSHIRE.

It has at length been determined that the intended road from Lyme to Charmouth shall be carried into effect as soon as possible. The tremendous hill, which now separates the two places, will be in a great measure avoided, and the contributors to it will afford employment to a number of poor men. The Bridport Commissioners intend to petition Parliament this session in order to procure a Bill for leave to make a new road to the left of the present line from Charmouth to that place.

At Chelmsford Sessions the Magistrates discussed the question whether some respectable females of that town, disciples of Mrs. Fry, should be allowed to visit the prisoners in the gaol occasionally; and, on coming to a vote, they rescinded, by a majority of twenty-five to seyen, the permission which had been given by three of the five visiting magistrates. The prison, it was said, was a Church of England establishment, and it might be dangerous to permit Sectarians to give instructions to the prisoners! Besides, prayers from the liturgy were read every morning by the Chaplain, as directed by the late act, and it would be extremely indelicate, and hurtful to his feelings as a minister and a gentleman, to permit others to interfere with the moral improvement of the prisoners!

GLOUCESTERSHIRE.

Mr. M'Intosh, the contractor for the Gloucester and Berkeley Canal, has been for some months proceeding with it in the most efficient manner, and with means fully adequate to ensure the full completion of this most important work in September 1825. Were an additional proof wanting of the favourable point of view in which it is regard. ed by the subscribers and the public at large, the last meeting of the company afforded a gratifying instance. Since the contract entered into by Mr. M'Intosh, certain additional works were suggested by Mr. Telford as necessary to the efficiency of the plan, whereby an increased expense of 13 or 14,000l. would be incurred, and the meeting alluded to was called for the purpose of taking this subject into consideration; when, such was the confidence felt in the success of the work, that the requisite sum was immediately subscribed; and had 50,000! been called for, it would bave been raised without the least difficulty.

She was a cotem. porary of Garrick, and, we believe, the only one that remained, excepting Mr. Quick and Mrs. Mattocks, who are still alive. Her extreme beauty and the truth and nature of her acting attracted univer sal admiration, and caused her to rank the highest (as a female) in her profession, previous to the ap pearance of Mrs. Siddons.

LANCASHIRE.

St. George's Church, Liverpool, is an object of

considerable architectural interest for its taste, and having been nearly the first cast-iron church erected in the kingdom, the whole of the framework of the windows, doors, pillars, groins, roofs,

pulpit, and ornamental enrichments are of cast

iron. The length is 119 feet; the breadth 47. It is ornamented by a splendid window of stained glass. The tower, raised to the height of 96 feet, and standing on a hill, the site of an an

cient sea-beacon, is elevated 345 feet above highwater mark, and commands one of the finest views in the kingdom, comprehending the town and shipping of Liverpool, the estuary of the Mersey, the level surface of Lancashire, as far as the eye can trace the prospect, with the craggy hills of Wales towards the west, and towards the north-east the distant mountains of Cumberland and Westmoreland.

The subscription for the Manchester Institution for the Promotion of Science, Literature, and the Arts, already amounts to near 17,000l. Sir Thos. Lawrence has sent a life subscription, and expresses a hope that the establishment may receive the King's patronage.

MONMOUTHSHIRE. Considerable discontents prevail amongst some of the colliers in the western part of Monmouthshire. It is but a short time since similar symp. toms manifested themselves in one of the largest iron-works in the neighbourhood, but which were suppressed by firmness and resolution. Some of the workmen at one of the collieries have left their employ, and it is reported that the rest have given notice. The present rapid increase in the price of provisions is supposed to have had considerable influence in producing these threatening

occurrences.

NORTHUMBERLAND.

At the anniversary meeting of the Antiquarian Society of Newcastle last month, an interesting paper by Mr. W. Chapman was read, giving an account of the antiquities and curiosities disco. vered in digging the canal from Carlisle to the West sea. The most interesting part of this communication related to the discovery, on the shores of the Solway Frith, beyond Brough, of a subterraneous forest of oak, imbedded in a stiff blue clay, and lying from two to three feet below the foundation of the Roman wall, which passed over it. The trees, which were of large dimensions, were all lying towards the north; the stumps of some were in their natural position. And, what is most remarkable, the wood of these trees was in so perfect a state, as to be scarcely distinguishable from fresh oak, although it is evident that it must have lain there some thousand years, as the period of its growth must have been anterior to the building of the Roman wall. So perfectly sound was the wood, that it was used for the purposes of embankment, &c. along with other wood.

The horrible burning of the horses (see p. 94) did not take place at the Kenton, Colliery, but at another hard by. The Tyne Mercury states, that there is no doubt of the truth of this infamous act of cruelty.

SHROPSHIRE.

At a late meeting held at Shrewsbury by a committee appointed to examine a plan for the Holyhead Road, it was resolved that the committee, having inspected two different plans presented to them, and having examined the estimates, are of opinion, that the plan proposed by Mr. Birch for taking the road up the Wyle Cop, is cheaper and much more beneficial to the town of Shrewsbury than the plan for taking the Holyhead road round the walls, and would answer every purpose for the benefit of the Irish travellers.

YORKSHIRE.

A plan has been formed, and is now under con sideration, for bringing the two important towns of Leeds and Manchester, by way of Halifax, eleven miles nearer than they are at present ! The proposed line of road from Halifax to Leeds,

which is to pass by Hipperholme, Wike, Oken. shaw, Hunsworth, Tong, Farnley, and Lower Wortley, to the Wellington Bridge, at Leeds, thereby avoids Clayton Heights, and reduces the present two stages of nine miles each, to one stage of fourteen miles.

IRELAND.

Mr. Macquisten, civil engineer, has made a report in regard to the expediency of opening a safe and speedy communication between Scotland and Ireland, by means of steam-packets, from the harbour of Troon, in Ayrshire, to Belfast Loch, in preference to the passage from Fortpatrick to Donaghadee. Troon is seventy-three miles distant from Edinburgh, thirty-one miles from Glasgow, and sixty-three miles from Dumfries. Portpatrick is 136 miles distant from Edinburgh, twenty-four miles from Glasgow, and eighty-five miles from Dumfries. As a saving of distance, and consequently of time and expenses, Mr. Macquisten states the former place to be prefer. able to the latter for every point of the kingdom. The harbours, too, at Troon and Belfast Loch, he states to be infinitely superior to those of Portpatrick and Donaghadee, and the passage by water, though longer, he states to be more cer. tain and safe.
