On the 14th of October, a numerous and respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Plymouth, Tavistock, Launceston, and other neighbouring towns was held at the Exchange in the former place to consider of the propriety of rendering Plymouth a mercantile port, as well as a station for the royal navy. Lord Boringdon addressed the meeting, and explained the practicability of the plan; his lordship pointed out the advantages which would result from the importation of West India produce, and the productions of our great fisheries in the South Seas, and on the Banks of Newfoundland, direct to Plymouth, and elucidated the good effects which such a trade would have on the shipping interests of the two maritime counties of Devon and Cornwall. He was followed by several gentlemen and merchants, who unanimously agreed with him on the propriety of the intended scheme, and expressed their readiness to second his views in support of the commerce of that port. Several resolutions were entered into, and meetings appointed at the Exchange every alternate day for the purpose of open and friendly discussion, and for receiving information on the best mode of attaining the end in view.

A correspondent of the Northampton Mercury gives the following useful cution :"It is perhaps not generally known by lacemakers, that the flasks they use to concentrate the light of the candle upon their work, are very powerful burning glasses. One of them will readily set fire to any inflammable substance which is placed so as to receive the sun's rays, after they have passed through it, at the point called the focus, that is, at about the distance of one and a half or two inches from the surface opposite to that on which the sun shines. It is therefore adviseable, to be careful where they are placed in the day-time, as serious consequences might result from one of them standing in the sun; which a circumstance that came under my observation experimentally proves. A considerable quantity of smoke and a powerful smell of burn gave the alarm of fire, when, after searching some time, it was discovered, that a cloth, which was wrapped round the neck of a fiask that stood in the window of an unfrequented room, was in a flame, and such was the degree of combus |
