'pHE Earl of Darlington h:is caufcd the toll- 

 booth and fhamblcs in the town of Bar- 

 nard Caftle to be t.ikcn down, unJ has diredl- 

 ed the elegant market-crofs to be inclofcd by 

 an iron paliface, and the upper part converted 

 into a room for the holding of his manor- 

 courts, and the tranfaflicn of other public 

 bufinefs. The inhabitants, with a laadable 

 fpirit, have feconded his Lordship's intentions 

 for the improvenirnt of the town, by a fub- 

 fcription for flagging and paving the ftreets, 

 and repairing and orn.innenting the church

 ^uch to the comfort and convenience of the 

 public, and heighten the piciuicfque beauties- 

 of the place ; and we hope they will alfo tend 

 to the increafe of its wealth and confequcnce, 

 few fituations commandirg f» many natural 

 advaiitages, either for commercial fpeculation 

 or country lefidcnce.
