season wes 35, and the quantity of oil which 
they boiled amounted to 4536 tons. 
A subscription has been opened at She field, 
for.the purpose of establishing a Fire-office in 
that town. ‘Though little more than two 
months have elapsed since the first public 
meeting on this subject, the amount of the 
sums subscribed exceeds 170,000]. Induced 
by this flattering state of the subscription a 
reealution was passed at the second monthly 
meeting, that the office for granting policies 
should be opened at Midsummer next. 
The Corporation of Huil have de:ermined 
upon taking down the old Butchers’ Shambles 
at the east-end of the Holy Trinity Church, 
in that town. ‘The proposed plan tor enlarg- 
ing the Corn Market, by the addition to it of 
the Old Shambles adjoining, is not likely to 
be carried into effect; the corn merchants 
and farmers having declined accepting the 
offer of these premises made by the Corpo- 
ration, and refused to be at the expence of 
converting them to the above purpose.

great surprise, three very fine eels, about 
twenty-two inches in length, were forced out 
of the pipe by the pressure of the superincum- 
bent water.
