A public Meeting was lately held at Liverpool, the 
Mayor in the chair, to petition the Legislature for 
a revision of the Corn Duties. Resolutions to this 
effect were moved, and supported by the whole of 
the persons who addressed the meeting, except a 
Mr. Lafone, who contended, ‘* that if the importa- 
tion of corn were allowed, the poor would not be at 
all benefited, on the principle that more labour and 
profit would be deducted from our agricultural poor 
than would be gained by the population employed 
in manufactures.” Mr. Lafone added, ‘‘ that he 
was satisfied that when the price of corn was high, 
the poor man could always get a remunerating price 
for his labour.” The resolutions for a petition were 
nevertheless carried. 
A general public cemetery is about to be erected at

Some workmen, who were digging lately at Stock- 
port, discovered, at about three feet from the surface, 
two fine oak trees, perfectly sound, imbedded in the 
clay. One of them was sixty-five feet in length. 
They were perfectly black, and capable of receiving 
the finest polish. The larger of the two has been 
sold for £30. 
Mr. P. Marsland, of Stockport, has, for some time 
past, been weaving woollen by steam. His Majesty's

superior.

NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. 
Lately, in sawing the log of an ash-tree in two, at 
Bathley, near Newark, a bird’s nest was discovered 
with three eggs in it (supposed to be a grey wood- 
pecker’s) in the heart of the tree, the surrounding 
wood being perfectly sound, without a rent or crack. 
The two pieces, about a yard long, with the nest and 
eggs, are preserved: the cavity is turned black. 
The part sawn in two appears in the shape of an egg, 
with the broad end downwards. The diameter of 
the tree, at the place of the nest (about six feet from 
the top) is seventeen inches. The log measured forty 
feet long. 
The inhabitants of Nottingham lately resolved to
