HAMPSHIRE.

The erection of a Lunatic Asylum for this county was strongly opposed at the last quarter sessions, when it was agreed by a majority of one only to postpone the ques tion until the next Michaelmas Sessions. Mr. Rose stated, that he had it in contemplation, at the next meeting of Parliament, to introduce a clause into the Bill for the better regulating Lunatic Establishments,' making it compulsory on all counties to erect asylums for their own pauper lunatics. A magistrate observes, that this proposal, if carried into effect, will cost the 52 counties upwards of a million sterling for the buildings alone, which, as well as their support, coming out of the county rates, will fall almost wholly on the agricultural interest.

A cause of great importance to the publie was heard before the magistrates at Manchester, on the 19th of January. The ques-ciety, 33-Mr. Hamlet Lowe, 19-Mr. tion related to a combination of journeymen calico-printers, and came before the court in the way of appeal from a conviction before the magistrates of Bolton on the combination, under which the ten appellants were sentenced to three months imprisonment. It appeared from the written documents found in the possession of these men, that the combination of journeymen calicoprinters had identified its interests with shoemakers, brush-makers, cutlers, flax-dressers, book-binders, weavers, &c. and that the combined of these trades throughout the kingdom, Scotland, and Ireland, were united in one common cause, and mutually lent assistance to each other; funds were raised amongst themselves for their joint support whilst they refused to work, and also for the purpose of preventing that labour from being done by others which they objected to perform. The conviction was confirmed. The chairman, however, declared that he considered the combination of so extensive and dangerous a description, as to render it his duty to lay the documents before government, that they might, if deemed necessary, indict the parties for a conspiracy.

The lease of the Liverpool Theatre-Royal, which expires in May, 1817, has been renewed to Messrs. Lewis, Knight, and Banks, for an additional term of nine years, at the rent of 1,700l. per annum. The tenants besides are under covenant to expend 500l. during the term in the improvement of the premises; and grant, as before, 30 free admission tickets to the proprietors, which are worth at least 2001. a-year more. whole rent, therefore, may be estimated at 2,000l. a-year; a sum far exceeding the rent of any other provincial theatre in Great Britain.

Dr. WILKINSON, of Bath, has pointed -out the danger attending the use of the pumps now so generally introduced in public houses for pumping up porter and ale to the bar, owing to the lead pipe by which they communicate with the cellar. "As it is well known," says he, "that all the pipe below the fixed valve must be always filled with the malt infusion; and as this, particularly in what is called stale beer, is frequently undergoing the acetous fermentation, the lead is acted upon, and a solution of this insidious metallic poison is then drunk. I have had frequent opportunities of examining these lead pipes, and I have also many specimens by me, that have all the appearance of the carbonate of lead. As I have lately been induced to pay some attention to this subject, I have frequently remarked many persons, accustomed to take malt liquor early in the morning, complaining of those dyspeptic affections we find generally resulting from lead. In order to guard persons against drinking porter where these machines are employed, I have frequently shewn to them the lead precipitated by an hydro-sulphuret.
