 which U estimated at 220 mile*. But, with the exception of these

 Daren and the Idle, under NornxoiiAMsutRK ; the Uuse, with its 

 tributaries, and the Hull, under YORKSHIRE ; and the Ankholm, under 

 LixcoLxsuiHK. Different portions of the Trent, or Humber, are also 

 described iu the same article*. 



Jfarifatio*. The navigation of the Trent commences at Burton- 

 upon-Tront, in Staffordshire, where a cut from the Qrank Trunk, or 

 Trent and Mersey Canal, joins it, and opens a communication with 

 the complicated canal system of the Midland counties, and ultimately 

 with the Mersey, the Severn, and the Thames. This canal follows the 

 valley of the Trent from the junction of tho little river Lyne in the 

 Staffordshire Potteries, and it continues to follow the course of the 

 valley below Burton, till it finally joins the Trent at WiUeu Ferry, 

 at the junction of the Derwent Nearly midway between Burton and 

 Wilden Ferry the Derby Canal opens into the Trent, and communicates 

 with the town of Derby, and (by a railway) with the collieries near 

 Helper. The river Derwent is also navigable up to Derby, but the 

 navigation of it has been in a great degree superseded by the Derby 

 CanaL The Soar is navigable by the help of some artificial cuts 

 beyond Leicester, and is connected with the Leicester Union Canal 

 and the Grand Junction Canal, and so with the metropolis. The river 

 Wreak, or the Melton Mowbray Navigation, and the Oakham Canal, 

 connect tha eastern part of Leicestershire and the county of Rutland 

 with the navigation of the Soar and the Trent. Nearly opposite to 

 the outfall of the Soar, the Erewash Canal opens into the Trent. 

 This and the Nottingham Canal (which opens into the Trent near 

 Nottingham) convey to the Trent the produce of the coal- and iron- 

 diitrict of the valley of the Erewash, as well as the manufactures of the 

 town of Nottingham. The Cromford Canal, which joins the Erewash 

 and Nottingham canals, and the Cromford and High Peak railway, 

 open a communication between the Trent and the great manufac- 

 turing district of Southern Lancashire. The Grantham Canal con- 

 nects the town of Grantham and the adjacent agricultural district 

 with the Trent, into which the canal opens just opposite to the Not- 

 tingham Canal ; and the ancient Fosse Dyke connects the Trent with 

 the \Vilham, and so with the agricultural districts of central Lincoln- 

 shire. The Idle is navigable to East Retford : it joins the Trent at 

 West Stockwitb, where also the Chesterfield Canal opens into the 

 Trent, and brings down the produce of the coal- and iron-works of 

 Chesterfield and its neighbourhood. The Stainforth and Keadby 

 Canal, which connects the Don below Doncaster with tho Trent, joins 

 that river still lower down, at Keadby tide-lock. 



The navigation of the Yorkshire rivers and their connected canals 

 U described under YORKSHIRE. The navigation of tho Ankholm, 

 which extends upward m-arly to Market- Rosen ; and the Louth Navi- 

 gation, which commences at the town of Louth, and opens into the 

 Humber jut within Donna Nook, belong to Lincolnshire. 



The value of the Trent and Humber as a means of inland com- 

 munication U very great. The tide flows up the Trent as far as 

 Gainsborough, to which town seaborne vessels of considerable size 

 can ucend. The lowest bridge over the Trent is at Gainsborough. 

 Tb* wbol* length of the Trent navigation from Burton to the junction 

 of the Oose U about 100 miles, that of the Humber 42 miles : together 

 142 miles.

TKEVI'OI, or TREVISO, a province of Austrian Italy, formerly 

 included in the Venetian territory, is bounded N. by tho province of 

 Bdlnno, K. by Friuli, W. by the province of Vioenza, and 8. by the 

 provinces- of Padua and Venice. It has an area of 829 square miles, 

 u divided into 12 districts and 2<l4 communes, and reckons 286,199 

 inhabitant!. Two-thirds of tho province consist of a fine plain, which 

 Is on of the most fertile parts of the Venetian territory ; the other 

 third, which lies northward of the town of Treviao, is hilly. The 

 riv*r Piave, coming from Brlluno, crostes the province of Treviso 



from north-west to south-east, and enters the Adriatic north of the 

 lagoons. Farther north, in a direction nearly parallel to the Piave, 

 flows the river Livenza. Both the Piave and the Livenza are navigable- 

 for large boats to the sea. The principal productions of the province 

 are corn, wine, fruit, wool, silk, cheese, and cattle. There are also 

 manufactories of silks, woollens, and paper. Twelve miles N. from 

 Treviso, where the hills begin to rise, is an extensive forest called 

 Montello. belonging to the crown ; it supplies Venice with timber for 

 ship-building. The principal towns of the province are TRETOO : 

 Aaolo, very old town, now decayed, contains 3000 inhabitants ; it 

 was in the castle of Asolo that Caterina Cornaro, last queen of Cyprus, 

 was kept in a kind of honourable confinement by the Venetian senate 

 from 1489 till her death, which occurred in 1510 : Cattelfranco has 

 0000 inhabitants, a handsome collegiate church, and considerable 

 traffic; it is the native place of the painter Giorgione : Coneyliano 

 has 6000 inhabitants : Ceneda is a bishop's see, and has 5000 inhabit- 

 ants : Odeno, an ancient but decayed town, 12 miles N.E. from 

 Treviso, has about 6000 inhabitants : Porto Eufole, on the Livenza, 

 where the river becomes navigable for large boats, about 22 miles 

 from the sea, has 3000 inhabitants. 



TRKVI'GI, or TREVI'SO, a bishop's see, and the head town of 

 the province of Treviso in Austrian Italy, is situated in a fertile plain 

 on the banks of tha river Sile, which is navigable by large boats, and 

 communicates by means of canals with the lagoons of Venice. A 

 small river called Botteniga flows through the town and joins the Sile. 

 The town is old ; the streets are irregular, mostly lined with arcades, 

 and adorned with several fine buildings. The cathedral, first built by 

 the Longobards, and afterwards restored, but never finished, has some 

 fine paintings by Veronese, Tiziano, and Bordono, the last a native of 

 the place, and the relics of several saints. There are several other 

 churches worthy of notice, as well as the episcopal palace, the town- 

 house, and the palaces of tha families 1'ola, "Brescia, and others. 

 Treriso is surrounded by walls and a ditch, and has a circumference 

 of about three miles. It has a spacious hospital, a monte-di-pi 

 public library, a handsome theatre, an academy of sciences and lite- 

 rature, and about 15,000 inhabitants, independently of the- suburban 

 parishes which form part of the commune of Treviso, and contain 

 about 6000 inhabitants. A great fair is held here in the month of 

 October, and it lasts a fortnight.

 over which there is a stone bridge connecting the town with the 

 suburb of St. John. It is a neat pleasant town, and the houses are 

 all built of stone. It has a gymnasium; a Lutheran, a Calviuist, and
