The motion for a church-rate at Newport has been lost, after a spirited contest, by a majority of 52; the numbers for the adjournment being 218, for granting the rate 180.

The Manchester Guardian of Wednesday reports an improvement in the trade of that town, as regards both yarn and goods. An extensive business was done in the markets on Tuesday, and in some instances at advanced prices.

The stoppage of Mrs. Drewry's bank, in Penrith, a few days ago. as caused almost a general gloom and stagnation, being the last pri- vate bank in the town; and under fotteteen weelo since the firm of Atkinson, Craig, and Laidman, terminated its concerns. For the last few years it might properly be termed a savings-bank, since nearly the whole of the creditoss are composed of the middling classes, with sums deposited of from 5/. to 501., accumulated from bard labour and indus- try.—Curlisle Journal. A meeting of the creditors took place in the early part of last week, when a series of resolutions were passed ex- pressing confidence in Mrs. Drewry and her eldest son, and appointing inspectors to assist them in winding up the concern as soon us pos- Sible.— Tyne Mt.

A meeting was held at 'Brighton ou Friday last, fur the purpose of addressing the Queen on her Majesty's happy accouchement. The Chartists proposed an amendment, calling upon her Majesty to pardon those who are now suffering imprisonment for Chartist offences. The amendment was negativeffi One of the leaders of the Chartists stated, that their reason for interfering with the meeting was this, that " the Town-hall had been built principally by the money of the labouring classes, and that no oppo,ition would have emanated from them if the working-people were not altogether precluded from calling their meet- ings in the Town-hall."

When the news of the safe accouchement of her Majesty reached Carlisle, a gentleman, who is v ell known for his humane and charitable actions, authorized Mr. Orridge, the Governor of' the Gaol, to discharge all debtors in his custody who were confined for sums under 20/. ; he undertaking to pay the debt and costs in each case.—Carlisle Patriot.
