LINCOLNSHIRE.

An adjourned meeting of the subscribers to, and proprietors of estates interested in, the intended canal from Harborough to Stamford, was lately held at the town-hall in the latter place, when Mr. Torkington suggested the propriety of extending the line of canal from Stamford eastward to the sea: an idea which met with the concurrence of the meeting, and in furtherance of which certain resolutions were passed. The intention, is, to effect a communication with the ports of Wisbech and Lynn, as well as those of Spalding and Boston; and thus give to the eastern coast of the kingdom an almost direct inland communication with Bristol, Liverpool, and London, and the means of transport by almost all the considerable canals which intersect South Britain. The best-founded hope exists that this great national project may be promptly executed; for it is already ascertained that the expense will not be an obstacle. such is the demand for shares in the intended Harborough and Stamford canal, that many have been bought at the Auction-Mart, in London, during the present month, at a premium to the seller of 41. 10s. per cent.; and some, within these few days, at a premium of 51.

NORFOLK.

The following statement will doubtless be highly gratifying to the benevolent friends of the lower orders of society. During the *last eleven months, the period of Miss Howeli's visit to Norwich, thice schools have been established, in which no fewer than two hundred and ninety-four children are now educated, and furnished with sufficient instruction to become useful and respectable members of the community. This great improvement commenced with a school for forty-eight girls, under the immediate superintendance of the Miss Gurneys; and the directors of the charity schools, struck with the superior advantages of the new mode of education, adopted it in their establishment also; by which means they were enabled to extend its benefits to one hundred and six children, instead of forty, which they had An example like this could not fail of imitation, and accordingly another school, containing one hundred and forty children, was soon after projected in St. Paul's churchyard, and is now completely arranged. No. thing so much evinces the excellence of this plan of education, as the striking fact that it has been eagerly adopted by persons of opposite opinions, who have emulated each other in spreading its benefits around. The Court of Guardians, with a praise-worthy attention to the interests of those more immediately committed to their care, have prepared a room, which will be speedily opened, for the instruction of about fitty children, belonging to the workhouse; and this is the first attempt with which we are acquainted, to provide a moderate but Sufficient education for those who are placed in the most abject situation of society. On this account we consider this part of the plan as the most important of any, and promising the greatest advantages.

At the late general meeting of the Norfolk Agricultural Society, at Lynn, there was no stock shewn for the premiums offered. Mr. Chambers, a butcher, near Lynn, shewed a cow, which was bred and

fed by Mr. Bell, of Wallington, in this County: she was dried so late as the 29th of last September, and yet, by grass, hay, and turnips, exhibited the most meat that could well be expected upon so small a bone. Mr Marsters, of Gaywood, shewed an excellent two-shear Leicester wether, which was slaughtered, and weighed 39lbs. per quarter, with 18lbs. of tallow. Mr. Coke, of Holkham, sent four south-down wethers, of which two were shearlings, and the other two shear; the weight of one of the shearlings slaughtered was 23lbs. per quarter, with 15lbs. of fat; the others were such as Mr. Coke always produces, very good. There were three claimants of the premium for at least nine acres of water meadows, and one for at least five acres ; and two claimants of the premium for lucerne. These claims were referred to judges, to be decided in the course of this year. The society ordered 50s. to be paid to each of the four meritorious labourers in husbandry, certificates of their merit having been previously sent to the secretary, according to the direction of the society. To George Reader, a cottager of West Tofts, for keeping bees, the society ordered 21.

At the same meeting it was resolved to petition parliament against the bill now pending to prohibit the distillation of spiits from barley. The unusual precipitan cy with which this bill is carrying through the house, precludes the society from the opportunity of requesting a public meeting upon the occasion, and has induced them to send the petition with all the dispatch possible to the principal places of the county for signature. The points upon which this petition is grounded, are,-1st, That the necessity which existed at the time when the prohibition was first instituted (via the abundance of sugar in hand) is now done away; and the 2nd, That the badness of the season during the last harvest was such as to prevent the barley crop from being got in as it ought the consequence is, that most of the barley was so much injured, that it is unfit for malting, and not saleable, except at such a price as will not remunerate the farmer his expenses of cultivation.
