YORKSHIRE. 



Our accounts of the state of trade from the va- 

 rious towns where the woollen cloth and the 

 worsted stuff manufactures prevail, have been ex- 

 tremely gratifying during the past month, and con- 

 tinue so. The domestic manufacturers aie at pic. 



sent pretty well employed, and all the factories of 

 the district are in full work. The demand is steady 

 but not excessive, and the business done is safej 

 and moderately profitable. The improvement in 

 the condition of the labouring classes, as con- 

 trasted with their state this time last year, cannofc 

 be viewed without emotions of the most gratifying 

 kind, and it will be with difficulty that workmen 

 can be spared from the loom and the jenny to 

 assist in gathering in the plentiful harvest by 

 which we are surrounded. 



At the recent annual meeting of the members of 

 the Sheffield Mechanics' Library, held at the 

 Town's-hall, it was proposed to admit novels and, 

 plays, when a majority of about ten to one negatived 

 the proposition, adhering to the original idea, as ex- 

 plained by Mr. Montgomery (in the chair) " that 

 novels and plays and infidel publications should 

 form no part of the library." 



Two neighbours at Hull (John Garton and David 

 Hayneld) had each a hive of bees, which swarmed 

 on Saturday the 16th ult., in one body on a tree, 

 from whence they were taken and hived. The fol- 

 lowing Tuesday, a similar phenomenon took place 

 from the same two hives. A circumstance perhaps 

 never heard of before. 



A Mechanics' Institute has been formed in York. 



A mushroom was gathered on the 30th June at 

 Dring-houses, near York, which measured 3& inches 

 in circumference. 



In the first week in this month, a subterraneous 

 fire was discovered in St. Peter's-square, Leeds ; 

 the smoke issued from the earth in such quantities 

 as to alarm the neighbourhood ; and an excavation 

 being made to discover the cause of this extraor- 

 dinary phenomenon, a large body of fire was seen, 

 which, on the accession of air, burst into a vivid 

 flame. Engines were procured ; and it was sup- 

 posed the fire was extinguished. The next day, 

 however, the smoke was seen to arise again, and 

 excavators were set to work to discover the same ; 

 it was found to have originated in a vein of coals, 

 over which a pipe burner's furnace had been 

 erected ; and was supposed to have been burning 1 

 for six months. 



As WombwelPs Menagerie was at Dewsbury, on 

 its way to Leeds fair, some villain endeavoured to 

 set tire to it, by throwing a lighted brand on one o 

 the caravans ; fortunately it was discovered, and 

 extinguished before the outer cover of the caravan 

 was burnt throwS n > or the consequences might hav 

 been dreadful.
