Nottingham — Lincoln — Leicester. 
to London to make representations to govern¬ 
ment on this subject ; in-consequence of 
which Mr. Conant, the magistrate, and seve¬ 
ral police-officers, went to Nottingham, and 
an additional military force was sent to that 
rreighbourhoodi— Holdbrook, and other manu¬ 
facturing villages i.n Derbyshire and Not- 
tingiianjsbire, were subject to temporary 
disturbances from a similar cause. 
The following circumstances are given 
as illustrative of the temper and disposi¬ 
tion of the rioters .—In one house they had 
much trouble to obtain a light; and, while 
rummagirrg a cupboard to procure one, they 
discovered some plate and other valuables ; 
tut, having obtained a bit of paper, they 
shut the door, nor touched any thing in the 
house but the frames, which were the ob¬ 
ject of their vengeance. In another house 
it was well understood, that from fifty to 
seventy guineas were kept by the master ; 
bur, having exercised their wrath upon the 
obnoxious iron, they left the gold in 
possession of the owner. At another house, 
the master offered them a considerable por¬ 
tion of money if they would spare the 
frames; but their answer was, that they 
wanted not his money, but the destruction 
of those instruments w'bich prevented them 
from obtaining a livelihood. One poor man 
begged of the rioters to spare two frames 
that had been the fruit of his industry for 
many years; his requested was granted. 
One of thre most remarkable effects pro¬ 
duced by the mildness of the season, is a 
Lawthorne, now in full blow, at Cropwell 
Butler, which sheds its fragrance as is usual 
in the spring.

weather has been very favorable to the sow- 
ing of wheat, and a much larger quantity 
than was ever remembered has been sown 
this year. 
A considerable subsciiptlon has teen raised 
for building a church or chapel at Holland 
Fen, near Bolton. The building will be 
begun as soon as the sum contributed shall 
nearly equal the probable expence. 
On Thursdays, the lilth of December, at 
noon, the cuckoo, the usual harbinger of 
spring, was distinctly heard by several per¬ 
sons in the lordship of Bicker. 
The public have been cautioned by the 
respectable inhabitants of Bicker, against 
some vagrants who scandalize the parish by 
strolling about with hand-bells. They have 
boasted that they clear from 7 Co 101. each, 
in their periodical vagrancy. 
A very destructive fire lately broke out at 
Chatter’s, in the Isle of Ely. It began in a 
hog-stye, under the premises of Mr. Ben¬ 
nington; the flames extended to the farms of 
Messrs. Pettit and Warst, and destroyed all 
their stacks of corn, hay, See. nearly an 
acre of ground was at once covered with 
stacks in flames.

missioners of public records, that the most
