From the above report, which may be con- 
sidered as a barometer of our staple trade, it 
appears that the woollen manufacture of this 
riding has experienced a considerable exten- 
sion since March 1809, on a comparison with 
the year terminating at that period~ The 
exports to the depots of Heligoland and Mal-

system, such is the spirit of British enter- 
prise, and the ardour of commercial adven- 
ture, that they are not to be subdued.

the abilities of Mr. Mountain, the architect. 
Yhe principal front is to the north, facing 
Humber street.’ The principal entrance, ia 
Humber-street, leads to the first and second 
tier of cress boxes, up a vety good flight of

passage on the east side the theatre 5 and the 
entrance to the upper gallery from the west 
side. Opposite to the doors of the pit, which 
is capable of holding about 400 persons, are 
outlets both to the east and’ west. All the 
doors open ou wards. he interior is very 
elegantly fitted up. There are two tiers of 
diess-boxes, sixteen in each tier, capable of 
accommodating nearly 860 persons; green 
boxes above, on a level with the middle gal-

@00 speciators; and an upper gallery, run- 
hing round the house, of the same cimene 
sions as the dress boxts, and terminated above 
by an elegant dome. fhe different tiers are 
Supported by tea light reeded columns of cast ~ 
iron; to the tops of these gile brackets will 
be aflixed, from whence glass and gold chan-

the boxes and galleries is painted of a pink

of the whole panel running round each 
tier. The boxes are lined with scarlet clotla 
to the height of five feet; the remainder of 
the backs of the boxes is painted a light 
French grey, and neatly pannelled. The 
box-doors are lined uniformly with the boxes, 
and the upper part painted white. A hand-

the outside, from wheuce there is an en=

is placed a small glass, through which nearly 
the whole of the interior of the house may 
beseen. Round the front ol the green boxes, 
and the midsle and upper galleries, runs a 
light ion railing, calculated to guard agaist 
accidents. The proscenium of the stage is 
supported by pillars, in imitation’ of vellosy 
marble, with an arched top, from the side of — 
which, next the stage, hang crimson cure 
lains, festooned, and ornamented with gold 
fringe. Over the middle of the arch is placed 
the royal arms; on the left are placed the 
Dock company’s, and on the right the free- 
miuson’s arms; above, in the groined work 
which supports the dome, are painted the 
arms of the corpuration of the town ‘aad
