CUMBERLAND. and WESTMORELAND. A luminous bar, or narrow stripe of light, was seen in the heavens about nine o'clock on the night of the 17th inst. over Kendal. It crossed the zenith, and seemed of equal length on each side from that point, forming an arch in the direction N. E. and S. W. of nearly one-fifth of the hemisphere in extent. This appearance much resembled the northern lights; and although it had no visible motion, it probably was a species of the Aurora Borealis. The stripe of light gradually shortened at the extremity, on each side, from the center, and finally vanished about ten minutes after it was first noticed.

A Yorkshire society has been formed, under the patronage of Earl Fitzwilliam, for educating the children of poor Yorkshire parents, residing in and near Lon don.

LANCASHIRE.

On the 7th, at a Town-hall meeting at Liverpool, an address of congratulation on the late events was proposed by Mr. ASPINALL, seconded by Dr. Crompton, and supported by the Rev. W. Shepherd, and Colonel Williams. Mr. Shepherd procured the insertion of a clause against the slave trade; but Mr. Yates failed in the introduction of a clanse urging a speedy negociation with America.

In the Isle of Man, the House of Keys, in solemn assembly, came to a resolve to forthwith repeal the law which, until then, afforded protection from arrest to persons seeking an asylum in that island; excepting, however, such persons as had resided there previously to this determination, for a period of not less than six months. Many fugitive debtors have in consequence left that place, to seek refuge from their creditors, elsewhere.

An advertisement has been put in circulation by a company of coach proprietors, in Manchester, offering to take inside passengers from that place to Paris for nine guineas.

At a general meeting of the subscribers to the Liverpool Institution, the Committee, in pursuance of instructions, submitted the following statement to the public, in addition to the resolutions already published:

"Liverpool having tripled its population within the last forty years, and now con taining, with the adjacent villages, at least 110,000 inhabitants, additional means of Instruction are required for completing the education of youth, which may not only re lieve parents from the expence and anxiety of sending their children to a distance, but might induce strangers to bring their families here for that purpose from differ ent parts of the populous district with which it is connected; especially such as may in

tend any of their sons for trade, as they could then unite here, in some measure, scientific with commercial education. "In order to induce men of learning and science to fix their residence and become teachers in Liverpool, it is proposed to establish a fund, from which such remuneration, as may be necessary, might be afforded to them for delivering lectures and instruction in different branches of literature and science. These lectures are intended not only for the instruction of yonth, but also as a rational source of information and recreation for persons farther advanced in life, who may thus be made acquainted, in the most satisfactory and interesting man--95, Mrs. E. Harrison, of Tyrer-street.— per, with the rapid progress of literature and science which characterizes the present

age.

"The systematic courses of lectures which it is intended to encourage, as far as may be practicable from the funds of the institution, are-1st, philology, on the structure of aucient and modern languages, chiefly with a view to the attainment of accuracy and elegance in our own; 2nd, history, ancient and modern; 3rd, moral philosophy and political economy, the latter including commerce; 4th, chemistry, shewing its application to the arts; 5th, natural history, including geology and mineralogy; 6th, natural philosophy, the astronomical parts to be explained with an orrery-the mechanical branches to be illustrated by models of the most approved machinery; 7th, botany, gardening, and agriculture; 8th, anatomy, surgery, and medicine.

Hopes are also entertained, that by providing apartments for the exhibition of paintings and sculpture, and for schools of practice, the academy for encouraging these elegant arts might be usefully connected with the institution; and that other branches of drawing might there be taught, tending to improve the taste in various de partments of the manufactures in this part of the kingdom.

"The very liberal encouragement which the plans laid before the public have already received, the subscriptions to which amount at present to upwards of £13,500, affords the strongest assurances, that in a short time the friends and promoters of this institution will be enabled to carry it into complete effect."

The proprietors of the botanic garden, at the general meeting, agreed to open it for themselves and families on Sunday evenings, after service. It will be a great gratification to those who wish for a select promenade, and must ensure an increased support to that neglected institution.

NOTTINGHAMSHIRE.

Much irritation still prevails among the stocking-weavers in and near Nottingham, in regard to the existing remuneration for their labour: and it merits notice that a similar feeling has prevailed from time to time in that town during the last twentyfive years, or ever since money from the effect of taxes and war began to change its relative value. Surely some equitable means might be fixed on, by which to satisfy this branch of manufacturers. Why not appoint a committee of two or three hosiers and two or three workmen, to arrange a table of prices, by which every branch of the trade should, by fair labour, be able to attain support, and to regulate these prices from time to time, according to the price of the necessaries of life? We are not aware of any law which would prevent so rational an agreement, between the employers and the employed; or if deemed impracticable, we should be glad to lay the objections before the public. It is certainly of great importance to effect some arrangement which shall prevent the periodical recurrence of dissatisfaction and outrage.
