DEVONSHIRE.

A letter in a late number of the Plymouth Telegraph under the signature of an Englishwoman, contains a sensible and well-written appeal to her countrywomen in general, exhorting them, in these times of general distress, to discourage, by their conduct and influence, the importation, both legal and il

legal, of foreign manufactures." I allow," observes the writer, "there are some tempa tions to be resisted-the gaily coloured su and handkerchiefs of French manufacturethe gloves which set off the forms of ou hands and arms, are certainly far superior t our own; but if there were no temptane there would be no merit in the forbearance And if we look down on our dresses, unadorned by handsome laces, because from principle we abstain from purchasing them, and use our arms clothed in less elegant or becoming attire than we have been accustomed to, let us reflect with pleasure that we have by these little sacrifices, contributed as far as we can to the employment of our industrious countrymen. What, therefore, can be more desirable, than that Englishwomen of all ranks should combine in determining to purchase only the manufactures of their own country, and resist the temptation of adorning their persons, at the expense not only of the comforts, but the morals of their caurtrymen?"

The whole of the prisoners were found guilty. Previously to the delivery of the fatal verdict, the feelings of the foreman choked his utterance, and after it was pro nounced, the jury and the whole court wère visibly affected. John Penny and John Allen, the principal instigators of the outrage, were executed, but the other nine were respited till the 20th of May.

ESSEX.

A petition has been submitted to the House of Commons for the inclosure of Hainault or Epping Forest, containing nearly 100,000 acres of land, unprofitable in its present state, except for the agystment of a small herd of red deer and a few dry cattle. The measure is, however, strongly opposed by numerous possessors of forest rights. Mr. Huskisson threw out the idea that such inclosure might be beneficially applied to the purpose of raising timber for the navy, and thus become an object of national utility as Well as ornament.

HAMPSHIRE.

A correspondent of the Hampshire Telegraph, suggests that nothing would contribute so much to the improvement of Portsmouth, in this dull piping time of peace, as to make it a fashionable watering place. There cannot be a finer beach for the purpose than it possesses; its beautiful seaviews, dock-yard and shipping, are objects of powerful attraction; abundance of vacant lodging-houses may now be had near the water-side at a moderate rate; and nothing more is necessary than that means of sea-bathing equally commodious be provided, and that a proper course be taken to give them extensive publicity.

LINCOLNSHIRE.

The Boston Gazette from which we copied in our last number the statement of Mrs. Ashlin having been delivered of twins at the age of 64, has acknowledged that this is erroneous, and that it should have been 34. Her husband is aged 64.

Dr. CRANE of Boston, has published some judicious observations on the means of discriminating between apparent and real death. [See an interesting paper on this subject in our fourth volume, p. 1-15]. He observes that," the means proper to be pursued in cases where it is doubted if death has taken place, are extremely simple. The body should lie in bed undisturbed, and occasionally, if the lips and mouth appear parched, they should be moistened with wine and water. If the weather be hot or sultry, the curtains of the bed ought to be drawn aside, and the room freely ventilated. In cold weather a pan of coals should be at intervals drawn over the bed, so as to keep up a gentle warmth; by doing this, we aid the powers of nature to restore the patient, if the body be alive; or, if death has taken place, we more speedily bring on putrefaction, relieving the friends from a state of dreadful anxiety. As soon as a livid greenish hue is observed about the face or breast, and the limbs, which were once rigid, become again pliant, we may be certain the fatal catastrophe has taken place."
