LINCOLNSHIRE. 



The Lord Chancellor, in giving judgment on the 

 petition presented relative to the Stamford Cha- 

 nty, said, " As the main object was to remodel 

 this charity in a manner different from the inten- 

 tion of the founder, and a? the parties presenting 

 it had failed in point of law to support their peti- 

 tion, It must be dismissed with the payment of the 

 costs which they had occasioned."

 NOTTINGHAM AND DERBY. 



The committee for superintending the building 

 of the new county gaol and house of correction, at 

 Derby, have at length made their report thereon, 

 by which it appears that the total expenditure 

 amounts to .63,335. 5s. 6d. The report says, 

 " that experience has proved the merits of the 

 new gaol, in the main points of security and ten- 

 dency to effect the reformation of the prisoners ; 

 merits the more to be appreciated, as one class 

 of prisoners already confined has been of a de- 

 scription not to be surpassed in ingenuity or in 

 resolute audacity in attempting to escape.'' 

 There are 169 cells, some of which can contain 

 three prisoners each and the gaol will contain 

 315, although 173 prisoners is the greatest num- 

 ber that has hitherto been confined at the same 

 time.

The Hugh Johnson has sailed from Liverpool 

 for New York with upwards of 200 emigrants 

 on board. Among them were several farmers 

 from the inland counties, who, with their fa- 

 milies and capital, intend to try their fortune 

 in the new world. The bulk of the emigrants 

 were agricultural labourers and their fami- 

 lies, who have been deported at the expense 

 Of their parishes ; they were chiefly from Es- 

 sex and Kent, The number of emigrants to 

 British America are few compared with that 

 which is proceeding to the United States. The
