LANCASHIRE AND LINCOLNSHIRE. 



Amongst the felons sentenced to transportation 

 for life, at the late Preston sessions, there is a boy 

 only teven years of age I He began his thieving 

 career at the age of four, and has regularly con- 

 tinued to the present time; first at Blackburn, then 

 at Manchester, then again at Blackburn; his last 

 theft was in the House of Correction, at Preston, 

 from his fellow prisoners !

 .desley, for the St. George's National and Sunday 

 School ; the usual ceremonies were observed on the

 date 500 scholars. 



At Lincoln Assizes, 3 prisoners had sentence of 

 death recorded against them ; the deputy post- 

 master of Grantham was ordered to be imprisoned 

 seven months for altering the postage of letters 

 for his own advantage ; and 130. were given as 

 damages to a person who suffered by the explosion 

 of the Graham steam-packet, in her passage from 

 Gainsborough to Hull. 



We are happy to state that another advance 

 upon calicoes has taken place in our markets, 

 which, when added to the previous advances which 

 have from time to time been obtained, makes the 

 rise of that description of cloth full 25 per cent, 

 above the lowest quotation at which they were sold 

 during the late depression. The stocks of calicoes 



have not been eo low, we believe, for gome years 

 as they are at the present moment. There has 

 not however been much done in yarn for ex- 

 portation. The demand for that article has 

 indeed been limited for some time past in the 

 continental markets; but there has been an 

 increasing demand for India, especially for 

 the finer yarns. We understand that the de- 

 mand from the continent also has lately been for 

 finer numbers than formerly. We are happy to 

 add that the wages of weaving are now sufficient 

 to enable the weavers to earn, by industry, a com- 

 fortable livelihood, having risen, in some instances, 

 as much as 125 per cent.
