of Leeds, and the neighbourhood, took 
place lately, to consider the expediency, 
which has long been suggested, of erecting 
a bridge across ‘the Aire, and making the 
necessary approaches to it, for the purpose 
of connecting “Hunslet,, with the Black 
Bank,, Leeds, . When it was resolved, to 
raise, the po necessary, for that purpose, 
y shares of £50 each, and that subscrip- 
tions be immediately solicited. 
An. ancient tiled. flooring, about, two 
yards square, was lately discovered on the 
east side of the cemetry in Kirkstall Abbey. 
The tiles are each about four inches square, 
highly glazed, on the surface, and are of 
various colours. : ; 
A destructive fire broke out lately, in one 
of the mills of Messrs. Gott and Sons, at

Directors of the Aire and Calder Naviga- 
tion proceeded in one of their boats from 
Ferrybridge, where their new canal joins 
the’ river Aire, along the whole line, into 
the docks at Goole, and found the works in 
such a state of forwardness as to’ warrant the 
expectation that the country will have the 
use of its great facilities ere the setting in 
of winter. This magnificent work is nearly 
eighteen miles in length, has seven feet 
depth of water, and is sixty-three wide on 
the surface ; it is crowned by sixteen stone 
bridges of elegant, construction, and eight 
cast-iron swivel bridges, and fifteen or 
_ more culverts, all of solid masonary, and 
laid . under the. canal, for the purposes of 
drai mg,and also of warping the lands 
adjacent. Goole, it is terminated by a 
large basin or dock, for the reception of 
river craft, nine hundred feet in length by 
onehundred and fifty in‘breadth, which com- 
municates with another dock, fer the recep- 
tion. of ships, six hundred feet long by two
