HEREFORDSHIRE. 



A requisition, numerously and respectably signed, 

 has been addressed to the gentlemen of property in 

 this county, praying them to take into consideration 

 the great difficulties to which every branch of its 

 agriculture and commerce is exposed, from the want 

 of a banking establishment in the city of Hertford, 

 and expressing a decided opinion, that a firm, com- 

 posed of men of known property and respectability, 

 would command the confidence of the public as well 

 as insure reasonable profits to the partners.

GLOUCESTER AND MONMOUTH. 



A gentleman at Gloucester has tried an experiment 

 on his trees, which is very liliely to succeed and de- 

 serves to be known. Previous to their budding out, the 

 wood was washed over with linseed oil, applied with 

 a common painting brush. This appears to have 

 rendered them completely impervious to frost, and 

 they seem likely to bear an abundance of fruit. 



The Hoi Bridge and Tewkesbury Severn Diidge 



Bills passed the House of Commons on Monday

At a numerous and respectable meeting held at 

 Gloucester lately an association was formed as an 

 auxiliary to the Irish Society of Lomlon, and the 

 sum of *37 7s. 7d. collected in aid of the funds of 

 that institution. 



Gioucester Magdalen Asi/lum. — The fifth annual 

 report of this benevolent institution was delivered at 

 the asylum on Friday. It affords additional proof 

 that such an institution was much needed, that it 

 holds out a most desirable temporary refuge for the 

 wretched victhns of vice and deception, and that it 

 deserves the continued support and enlarged liberali- 

 ty of our fellow-citizens and of the country at large. 

 The funds, we regret to notice, have somewhat de- 

 clined this year : for this, as well as for every other 

 charity whose weekly disbursements are considera- 

 ble, the regular payment of annual sulKcriptions fs 

 very important. On the return of every anniversary 

 we shall gladly report the increase of its means of 

 doing good, and that many more unfortxmate fe- 

 males will be reclaimed from the path of death, and 

 restored to those pleasures and privileges of respect- 

 able society, which they have so awfully forfeited.
