3 1814.] Leicester and Rutland Stafford-Warwick. Fishtoft, 72, Mr. W. Physick.-At Great LEICESTERSHIRE AND RUTLAND. A very liberal subscription has been opened at Leicester, to enable the poor to rejoice on the announcement of peace; and at a late meeting of the committee it appeared, that 9154 adults, and 8615 persons under 21 years had applied for a share of the contributions; being 17,769 out of the 23,146 inhabitants contained in the town of Leicester, by the last population returns; or nearly 4 in every 5! It appears by the Leicester Chronicle, that the hosiery trade of Leicester and Nottingham is greatly depressed at this time, partly from the high price of the raw materials. It is there stated, that the United States of America, before the war, used to take half the manufactures of Leicester. By some disturbances and processions of the stocking makers, maile to obtain an advance of wages, it would appear that some remedy is required at Leicester, similar to that which we have suggested under the head Nottingham. Lucien Bonaparte has placed one of his daughters under the case of the celebrated surgeon, Mr. Chessher, of Hinckley.

SHROPSHIRE. The memorial at Shrewsbury, in honour of the military prowess of Lord Hill, is to consist of a handsome column, with a colossal statue of the hero upon it, erected en the elevated spot of land, situated between the east end of the Abbey Foregate, and the general Military Depot. The column is intended to be of the chaste Doric order, with fluted shaft: a pannelled pe destal, to receive an appropriate inscription on the same; with a colossal statue of the General on the summit or capital of the column, and a staircase leading to the same. The drawings, consisting of an elevation and section, (accompanied with a report or specification of the same) to be made on a scale of of an inch to a foot. The altitude of the whole, from the base of the pedestal to the top of the statue, to be 130 feet. The committee have offered eight guineas for the most approved plan, six guineas for the second, and four for the third.

ANGLOUCESTER AND MONMOUTHSHIRE, The people of Bristol have been as energetic in their movements against the new Corn Bill, as any other place in the kingdom, 22,000 signatures appearing to a petition against it. We think the subject fully elucidated at pages 415, &c. of THIS MAGAZINE, and if the arguments of our correspondent are not thought conclusive, we shall of course be glad to print any objections to them. The taxes, as the effect of the WAR, are the only reason why land cannot be let, and corn cannot be grown in England as cheap as in other countries; and if a shilling must in consequence be paid for the quartern loaf instead of sixpence, the extra six-pence is each consumer's contribution towards the gratification and glory of the late War! The 13 milions of the inhabitants of Great Britain consume 780 millions of quartern loaves per annum; and six-pence on each is not quite 20 millions sterling, or but half the interest of the public debt. It is unwise, therefore, to quarrel with an effect, after having been willing parties to the cause. Even at this moment a bloody waris going on against America, and another is threatened against Norway, which cannot cost less per annum, while they last, than the whole rental of the kingdom in its due proportion to a sixpenny quartern loaf, or half the rental in its proportion to a shilling one; yet the people approve of, or acquiesce in all that is doing against America! How unjust, then, to complain hereafter of the price of the necessaries of life, out of which, directly or indirectly, every shilling of the cost must be raised! How disgraceful to incur a reck oning, and then grumble at paying your quota! We ardently wish to see the QUARTERN LOAF AT SIX-PENCE, and perhaps it might be so, if free importation were allowed; but we wish also to preserve the land-owners and farmers from BEGGARY, and THE FAITH OF THE PUBLIC towards the public creditors-yet the three conditions are incompatible! The alternative in the choice of evils occasioned by the war is therefore a system of palliation;-but we are repeating the reasoning at page 418, to which we again refer our readers. 479 We are sorry to observe, that similar disputes exist between the hosiers of Tewkesbury and their workmen, as those between the same manufacturers at Nottingham and Leicester. An address, honourable to all the par ties, has been presented to SIR R.

It appears, that as the Thames and Medway Canal are not strictly within the port of London, coals may be had on its line free from the London port duty. Louis XVIII. made the following reply to the address of the Corporation of Dover: "Gentlemen, I thank you from my heart for this affectionate address. This being the last town I shall be at in this country, I beg, through your persons, to convey to the good people of England my very grateful thanks for the great kindness and civilities I have uniformly received froin them, and to assure them it will ever be my study to promote the utmost cordiality between the two nations." All the French prisoners in the ships in the Medway are sent home. Lord Yarmouth, the Prince Regent, and many other persons of distinction, attended the King of France on board the royal yacht at his departure. The parish clerk of Sittingbome was killed by the carriage of the King of France, and another had his leg broke at Rochester. The proposed Canterbury Canal has been abandoned, till the expected advantages of the return of peace afford more certain prospects to the proprietors. The government works at Chatham have been ordered to be discontinued. Mooring is preparing for 100 ships to lie in ordinary in the Medway. All the impress establishments on the coast have been broken up. Married.] |
