At a meeting held at Leeds, a petition was voted

CAMBRIDGE AND LINCOLN. 
The Ancholme Navigation was opened June 21, 
when the neighbouring gentry proceeded ina de- 
corated barge, attended with a large sea-sloop 
laden with coals, and many others, sailed up the 
river to the head of the navigation at Bishop 
Bridge. We have great pleasure in recording the 
completion of so stupendous an undertaking, as 
the advantages which the country will ultimately 
derive from it are inealenlable; independent of 
the great benefit to that extensive tract of land, 
comprising the Level of Ancholme. 
The celebration of the Commencement at Cam- 
bridge was well attended; H.R.H.the Chan- 
cellor was present, and the produce, after all ex- 
penses paid, for the benefit of Addenbrooke’s 
Hospital, amounted to only about £500!!! The 
enormous demands of the first-rate vocalists, par- 
ticularly the foreigners (whose importance has 
been more puffed than merited), accounts for the 
charitable uverplus being so small.

sident curate at that place 43 years.

company for the purpose of laying a branch into 
the Liverpool and Manchester rail-road, by which

LEICESTER AND RUTLAND. 
June 30, at All Saints’ church, the sexton re- 
fused admission for the entry of the corpse of a 
deceased child into the church-yard, until double 
fees were paid, viz. those for Ais church-yard, 
and those for the sexton of St. Nicholas, as the 
parents of the child were living in that parish ; 
the corpse was left in the street for a considerable 
time, while the curate was waiting in the church 
to bury it. The circumstance having at length 
excited sensation in the neighbourhood, and 
crowds of persons, particularly females, haying 
collected, the corpse was moved into the church, 
where it remained till the afternoon of the next 
day, before it was interred !—Leicester Chronicle,

tural Society, no less than 893 specimens were 
ticketed. The lady of Gen. Sir R. Brownrigge 
sent a noble specimen of the Zeaf of the original 
gigantic talipa tree, which was taken from a tree 
in Ceylon, upwards of 100 feet high: the leaf 
measured 40 feet in circumference, and being 
placed behind the prize stand, formed a fan-like 
sereen, singularly interesting and unique !—Ched-

Describing the annual fair at Pershore, re- 
cently held there, the Worcester Journal says,

accompany a fair of this description !!”
