CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORELAND.

Amongst the numerous improvements of the present age, that of weaving figures on cloth is certainly not the least. A double damask table-cloth has been woven at Whitehaven, for the Countess of Lonsdale, which is thought by good judges to surpass, in point

of workmanship, any thing of the kind ever produced in that part of t kingdom. It is four yards and a half in length, and three yards and a quarter in breadth; the centre exhibits, in the most spirited and correct manner, the family arms, with a border of the most exquisite fancy. The buds of roses are such as would appear to breathe fra grance all around," were it possible for the artist to exalt them with the tints of nature. In short, the loom itself, the beauty, the fabric, and the amplitude of the table-cloth, exceeds every thing that can be shown in the north of England.

The

built upon piling in a very strong and substantial manner, and reflects great credit on the abilities of Mr. Mountain, the architect. The principal front is to the north, facing Humber street. The principal entrance, in Humber-street, leads to the first and second tier of dress boxes, up a very good flight of stairs, at the first landing-place of which is a convenient lobby. The entrance to the pit, green-boxes, and middle gallery, is from the passage on the east side the theatre; 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. The interior is very elegantly fitted up There are two tiers of dress-boxes, sixteen in each tier, capable of acconimodating nearly 800 persons; green boxes above, on a level with the middle gallery, which together are calculated to contain 700 spec ators; and an upper gallery, running round the house, of the same cimen sions as the dress boxes, and terminated above by an elegant dome. The different tiers are supported by ten light reeded columns of cast iron; to the tops of these gilt brackets will be affixed, from whence glass and gold chandeliers are to be supported. The front of the boxes and galleries is painted of a pink ground, with etruscan borders, the breadth of the whole pannel running round each tier. The boxes are lined with scarlet cloth to the height of five teet; the remainder of the backs of the boxes is painted a light French grey, and neatly pannelled. The tox-doors are lined uniformly with the boxes, and the upper part painted white. A handsome corridor, five feet in width, runs round the outside, from whence there is an entrance into each box, in every door or which is placed a small glass, through which nearly the whole of the interior of the house may be seen. Round the front of the green boxes, and the middle and upper galleries, runs a light iron railing, calculated to guard against accidents. The proscenium of the stage is supported by pillars, in imitation of yellow marble, with an arched top, from the side of which, next the stage, hang crimson cur tains, 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 freemason's arms; above, in the groined work which supports the dome, are painted the arms of the corporation of the town Trinity-house, with various trophies, &e. The stage is 54 feet in depth. On a level with the stage is the green-room, and a small room for the use of the manager. Below these are the dressing-rooms for the gentlemen; and above, those appropriated for the use of the ladies. Upon the whole, the ap pearance of the house is highly elegant, and the proportions excellent; the scenery is all completely new, and executed in a superior

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.
exports to the depots of Heligoland and Mal-
ta, to South America, and even to North
America, have been very large; and it must
be clear to Bonaparte, that however tight he
may draw his prohibitory decrees, or how
eyer widely may be extended his continental
system, such is the spirit of British enter-
prise, and the ardour of commercial adven-
ture, that they are not to be subdued.

The new Theatre Royal, Hull, was open
ed on the evening of May 1st. The theatre
occupies nearly the whole breadth of the
ground between Humber-street and a new
street parallel thereto; and is situated about
half way between the end of Queen-street
and the south end of the Humber Dock. It
is 125 feet in length, and 60 feet in breadth,

style; and if the performers acquit themselves with that ability which there is reason to expect, both the frequenters of the drama, and the manager, will, in all probability, have reason to rejoice in the changes which have taken place.
