YORKSHIRE. 
It appears from the Report of the:state of 
the Blue-coat boys and Grey-coat girls Cha- 
rity-schools of York, that the disbursements 
in the last year exceeded the annual income 
to the amount of 3521. 6s. 11d. a circumstance 
that cannot but be lamented by every friend 
to an economical and well-regulated institu- 
tion, the benefits of which to society in ge- 
nerai, are acknowledged to be incalculable. 
It is hoped, therefore, that from the bene- 
yolence of a humane and generous public, irs 
income may not only be proportioned to the 
present expenditure, but that acharity, which 
has fags object the feeding, clothing, and 
religious education of orphan and indigent 
children, may be so far renovated, as to be 
attor- 
Forkshire.

since, from the inadequacy of its funds, the 
number has been of necessity reduced to

The following is the Annual Hoe of the 
Cicth-searchers of the state of the Woollen 
Manufacture inthe West Riding of the coun- 
ty of York, from the 25th of March, 1808, 
to the 25th of March, 1809, on a comparison 
with the preceding year: — 
NARROW CLOTHS. 
This year, 144,624 pieces, or 5,309,007 yards. 
Last year, 161,816. .......5,931,253:

BROAD CLOTHS. 
This year, 279,859 pieces, or 9,050,970 yards.

Increase,” 17,835 
568,827 
Aggregate Increase in pieces. Sanu 643 
Decrease in yards...... 53,419 
It will appear extraordinary, without’ some 
explanation, that although there has been anin- 
crease in the number of pieces, the aggregate 
decrease.in yards should exceed 53,000. This 
peculiarity 1s, we believe, to be acceanted for 
from the pieces made for military clothing, 
of which there have been an unusual quan- 
tity during the lest year, being of shorter 
lengths than those made for the regular trade. 
On reference to the returns of the three last 
years, it will appear that our staple manue 
facture is gradually on the decline. 
In 1807, the decrease in yards was

At the late meeting of the Holderness Agri- 
cultural Society, at Hedon, a silver cup, of 
the value of five guineas, was adjudged to 
Mr. William Billaney, of Arnold, for shewing 
the best bull; and three guineas to Robert 
Bell, esq of Roos, for the second best bull. 
A large assemblage of agriculturists were 
highly gratified not only with the excellence 
of the animais for which the prizes were ad- 
judged, but of some of the others which were 
shewn ; and it was the general opinion, that 
they were much better than those kept in 
Ho'derness a few years since. At the same 
time, two guineas were adjudged to Mr. John 
Pearson, of Hedon, for exhibiting the best~ 
boar. It may reasonably be hoped, that the 
exertions of this very useful society will ex- 
cite sucha beneficial emulation in the district 
in which it exists, as to cause every grazier 
and farmer to vie with his neighbour, both 
as to the excellence of his stock, and the cule 
tivation o: his land.
