GLOUCESTERSHIRE.

A plan is proposed which, if carried into execution, will make Clifton Downs an object of rivalry to Bath, in that particular in which Bath is most celebrated; viz. to erect a set of artificial baths for hot water vapour, and cold ablution on Dr. Kentish's plan, whose success in preventing the first approaches of consumption from scrophula, and other causes, by means of warm vapour, aad warm-d at mospherical air introduced through earthen stoves, now begins to be generally acknowledged. It is also in contemplation, and will probably be soon executed, to cut out a most noble esplanade from Mrs. Miles's house, quite down to the rocky promontory that overhangs the River Avon. Such a walk as this would exceed in beauty and convenience every thing of the kind in England; for even now, in its irregular state, it is every Sunday frequented by thousands of decently dressed people, and generally two or three bands in the evening, being sufficiently long and wide to afford room for all classes to walk without interrupting each other, and commanding views of the river and hanging woods opposite, that are unequalled in point of beauty by any other spot in the island.

The strength "ening and excellent quality of its water needs no eulogium from its well-known and peculiar. virtues, but the situation of the Spa demands praise, its scite being in the highly respected. owner's garden, laid out by the hand of taste, interspersed with shrubs and flowers, whilst the serpentined gravelled walks afford a promenade, and the whole being inclosed, free from every species of inconvenience. The addition of the simply-elegant temple, appropriated for receiving the water, gives effect to the scene, uniting convenience with tasteful judgment.

The fire was carried by the violence of the wind to a dwel ling house some hundred yar's distant, which was consumed. The cries of a valuable mare in foal, pigs, &c. which were bu nt, were truly distressing. The loss in corn, hay, and goods, is very great; and insured only to a small amount. Only one house could be saved, and that had taken fire. Pour engines attended, bot could save a very small part of the household goods, stock, &c. Notwithstanding the exertions of the inha bitants of Banbury, and the engines from thence, the wind was so very high, that in less than two hours the village was nearly burnt down.

A numerous and respectable meeting of the proprietors and occupiers of land, in this county, was lately held at Cambridge, the Earl of Hardwicke in the chair, and entered into a variety of resolutions for forming an Agricultural Society. The Earl of Hardwicke was appointed president. The first general meeting of the society will be held on Wednesday, the 26th of June, at Cambridge.

An occurrence has taken place at Newmarket, which is the subject of general conversation and surprise among the frequenters of the turf. Several horses were entered for the claret stakes, and, as usual, were taken out one morning for exercise. They all drank at one watering-trough Some time after they had been watered, six of them were observed to stagger, and then to roli àvout in the greatest agony. Four whose value is

estimated at 70001. or 80001. are since dead. On examining the water-trough, it was found that the water had been poisoned. The horses were the property of Lord Kinnaird, Sir F. Standish, and Mr. Sitwell. The Jockey Club have resolved to offer a reward of 1000 guineas, and an annuity of 1001. a year, to any person who will furnish a clue, by which the perpetrators of the abominable act may be discovered.

...The friends to the general education of the lower order of society, must view with satis faction the progress which has been made in that important subject within the last twelve months, in Norwich. Two large schools for the education of girls, have been organised by Miss Harriet Howell, besides a private one under the immediate patronage of the Miss Gurneys.

forced off, was also left. How an entrance was obtained into the bank is uncertain, as no violence appeared to have been used to the Jock of the outer door, but it would seem that the locks of the iron doors had been picked and relocked, one of the wards having been twisted off in the act, and a piece of a small steel saw which had been broken was also left behind.

In the interval between the evening of Saturday, April the 27th, and the following. Monday morning, the Union Bank, belonging to Messrs. Baker and Co. in Canterbury, was entered by some unknown means, and notes and cash to a considerable amount (it is said 12,0001.) stolen from it. The circumstance was discovered about nine on Monday morning, when the chief clerk, being about to proceed to the business of the day, found some obstruction in unlocking the iron door of one of the closets, and on farther search it appeared that this, as well as another closet, had been opened and relocked, and that an iron chest which was fixed within-side of one of them had been forced open apparently by prizing the lid of it. This chest, besides the notes of the firm, contained also the receipts and transactions of the bank on Saturday, which it was customary to deposit there in the bulk till the Monday following. Such, however, was the systematic method with which this robbery was effected, that the checks paid in the course of Saturday, and the bills not negociable, were sorted and separated from the other notes, and such only taken as could be passed, consisting of Bank of England and local and provincial notes; in addition to these, a gold watch, and (what seems extraordinary the thieves should have encumbered themselves with) the paper moulds of the firm were also taken. One hundred 11. notes of the firm luckily escaped attention, and a pearl necklace of very considerable value, which was botuined in a small leathern trunk, although the lock of the same was
