Notice is now given officially of an intention to 
apply, inthe next session, to Parliament, for an 
act for forming a railway between this town and 
the city of Carlisle ; the faeility of communication 
which the rail-road willatford, must increase im- 
mensely every description of trade between Nor- 
thumberland, Durham, and Cumberland, while it 
will become, as it were, the high road between 
Newcastle and Liyerpool, and so open an easy 
intercourse with Ireland, by joining the canal 
which extends from Carlile to the sea. 
The Marquis of Londonderry’s projected har- 
bour, at port Seaham, is now proceeding with

and struck his brother so violent a blow on the 
head, as instantly to deprive him of life. He 
then took up a hatehet, and struck his father till 
he was dead. He has been committed to Durham 
Gaol. He has been occasionally affiicted with 
insanity; and the exciting cause of the paroxysm

family dispute about money matters. 
A requisition was in a course of signature, the 
last week.in November, calling a meeting of the 
county of Northumberland to express its opinion

The 20th instant, about 3 o’clock p.m., the Eye 
Pit at Washington exploded. The heavy frame 
work erected at the pit’s mouth, with the large 
pulley wheels attached to it, were thrown down, 
and the whole of the machinery destroyed ; corves 
and other missiles were projected from the bot- 
tom of the pit, and scattered in the surrounding 
fields. An immense cloud of smoke issued from 
the shaft, accompanied with a report surpassing 
that of the largest piece of artillery, which was 
heard through all the surrounding villages.. By 
this catastrophe 14 persons have been deprived of

Ata recent meeting (Oetober 17), of the town 
and neighbourhood of Hudderstield, it was unani- 
mously resolved to establish an infirmary in con- 
junction with the present dispensary, on such a 
seale as may be adequate with the resources of 
the district, and the wants of its diseased poor, 
and that it be denominated ‘The Huddersfield 
and Upper Agbrigg Infirmary ;” and such has 
been the munificence of the contributions, that 
upwards of £8,000-have been already subscribed 
for that purpose, besides annual subseriptions 
amounting to £600!!! : 
It is in contemplation to ent anew canal from 
the Stamforth and Keadly navigation, to com- 
mence near the new Wike at Thorne, and to join —

‘The bird will be preserved.

On the night of the Ist of November,.a man 
named Thomas Hudson, living at Leeds, seized a 
neighbour’s wife, called Susannah Almond, and 
pricked her in the arms and various parts of her 
body with pins. When taken before the magis- 
trates, his defence was, that she was a witch: 
and he said she had put the evil spirits into him, 
which could only be got out by drawing her blood ; 
and, he wanted the magistrates to let him prick 
her abit, He was bound over, to keep the peace,
