several respectable inhabitants, to the 
mayor,aldermen,andcommon-council,of New- 
castle, suggesting the expediency of marking 
the fiftieth year of his Majesty’s accession to .

permanent and valuable than that of illumi-

CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORELAND. 
The new road from Bransty-gate to White- - 
haven is completed, and excites the applause 
and admiration of all who see it. The en- 
trance into the town, both for convenience 
and beauty, perbaps, exceeds any thing of the 
kind that is to be met with. A number of 
Jamps are placed at regular distances, the 
whole length of the road, which is something 
more thanamile. In a little time it will 
be further embellished; several plots of ground 
will shortly be set out for dwelling-houses 
and gardens in its vicinity. The appearance 
‘of Bransty Gill has, in the course of a few 
months, undergone a change which is truly 
astonishing. 
As another proof of the improving state of 
that town and neighbourhood, the tolls have 
been lately re-let at a very considerable ad<~ 
vance, ‘The present amount of the White- 
haven tolls is nearly three times as much as 
it was ten years ago. 
The Workington Agricultural Meeting 
commenced on Wednesday, the 20th of Sep- 
tember, and was attended by most of the dis- 
tinguished agriculturists in Cumberland, and 
many from Northumberland, Durham, and 
other quarters. The wheat crops on the 
Schoose farm called forth universal admira- 
tion, as exceeding any thing which had been 
seen: 56 acres after potatoes, had 4340 stooks ~ 
on 260 acres there were upwards of 14,000,
