all the plants slightly over : when it will be 
found that the caustic quality of the lime will 
have destroyed tdi insects, without the small- 
estinjury to the crop, onthe contrary, it will 
very much improve it.--A chaldron of lime, 
the writer conceives, would cover several 
acres. The same application is equally de- 
structive tothe slug and small white snail on 
the young clovers, é&c. in the spring, and in- 
finitely more efficacious than Mr. Vaga’s sys 
tem of night rolling. 
A surprising proof of the degree of perfec- 
tion to which the staple manufacture of this 
country is brought, was lately afforded at Lei. 
cester. A gentleman, travelling for a house 
at Nerwich, exhibited a pair of worsted 
stockings, of a texture so remarkably fine, 
that the pair together has been drawn through 
a wedding ring of an ordinary size. The idea 
of the singular delicacy of the manufacture 
will be assisted by the information that an 
order was given by a respectable whelesale 
house in Leicester, fora dozen pair, at the 
price of guinea and a half a pair! 
Between twelve and one o'clock in the 
morning of Sunday, the SOth of May, a fire 
broke out in the right wing of Blickling hall, 
the seut of the Hon. W. A. Harbord, lieute- 
nant of this county. It is supposed that it 
originated from the heating some charcoal 
which was there deposited. ‘The armory, 
together with the arms of the Blickliag rife- 
, 
stroyed 5 fortunately the powder in store had 
been recently removed to an-adjacent build- 
ing. By the assistance of the inhabitants of 
Aylsham, who immediately repaired to the 
spot, the damage was confined to the right 
wing ofthe house. The loss is supposed to 
amount to near 50001.
