CONVE.Si AucrsT 16. Monday evening, the 14th instant, Lord Yarborough gave a very splendid baU and supper. on board his ship yacht Falcon, which. consisted of about 500 persons; among whom we perceived the Princess Esterhazy, Mademoiselle D'Este, Earl and Countess of Albemarle, Lady Georgiana Keppel, Earl and Countess aflame% Earl of Ilchester, Lady Harriet Frampton and family, Earl Darn ley, Earl and Countess Listowell, Lord Beerhsven, Lord and Lady Ellenborough, Lady Georgina Fane, Lord Willoughby de Brooke, Lord Belhaven Lady Barrington, Sir Charles and Lady Rich and family, Sir George and Lady Thomas and daughters, Sir Godfrey Webster. Captain Sir Charles Sulivan, R.N. Sir Charles and Lady enyler, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Gage, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Hare, Hon. W. White, Hun. Captain Beidgeman ' R.N. Hon. Captain and Mrs. P. B. Peliew, Hon. Captain and Mrs. F. B. Pe!Jew, Lady Burgoyne and dau ghters, Lady 'Fro'lope and daughters, Captain George Seymour, R.N. C. 13. and Lady, Colonel and Mrs. den Ice. Ike. The Yacht Club Members feeeived a generil invitation. The tables were laid between decks, covered with every delicacy of the season, in great abundance, as well as all sorts of wines ; and fes toons of evergreens, with white and black grapes hanging alter nately; which bad a very delightful appearance. Waltzing and quadrilles were the order of the night, and the ball was kept op with great spirit until half-past four o'clock the neat morning. The whole of the deck was appropriated for dancing, with an awning, covered with different flags, the Royal Standard in the centre. Lord larborough was most attentive to his guests BOW BELLS. A few mornings ago, the family of Mr. Aughtie were awakened by a tremendous crash, as if the upper put of the hruse had fallen in. They found that a stone of nearly one hundred pounds weight had fallen (torn the upper cornice of the tower of Bow Church, and broken in the roof. It had hit some of the pro jecting cornices of the tower, by which its force was broken, and it had fallen lengthways, or it is probable that it would have gone through the two floors below the attic, where it stuck, and might have occasioned the lots of lives. Mr. Gwilt, the architect, was sent for by the parish °raters, to examine and report as to thei cause of the accident. This Gentleman has, we learn, reported that the.stone has most probably been detached by the vibration of the tower, caused by the ringing of the bells, and that the effects of this practice are mani fested by large tracks in the plastering of the belfry walls, which were plastered over in 1822. _ _ When, in 1816, the spire was found to have lost its perpendicularity, it was conceived that the mischief was caused by the ringing. Mr. Gwilt, however, ascer tained that, although the splitting of the tower might be attributed to that cause. yet the deviation of the spire was caused by the injudicious use of wrought iron in its construction. The expansion of the metal by oxidation, had. he found, actually ':palled" or split solid blocks of stone, and partially lifted up the obelisk from its per pendicular station. This, with the tremendous shaking the whole had undergone, from the incessant ringing of the heaviest peal in the city, rendered repair absolutely necessary, and little doubt was entertained that, had it been delayed, the steeple would, in no great length of time, have fallen. The architect, on the completion of the repairs of the spire, expressed his opinion to the Parish Officers, that it would not be prudent to ring the bells. In the report he has made on the peseta oocasion, he states it as his firm conviction, that the part of the steeple from whicb the stone fell, never was strong enough for the original peal of bells. Even if it had been constructed with sound masonry, which he declares most decidedly it never was, the subsequent addition of two bells, weigh ing upwards ni a ton, was not calculated to improve it. The effect of a peal of ten bells upon such a steeple may be conceived from the fact, which this Gentleman ascertained from actual experiment, that the smallest bell, which weighs eight,hundred weight, shakes it ftom the top to the very foundation. The largest of the ten • bells is upwards of two tons and a half in weight. There is a paragraph in one of the New York Papers, which states that a Gentleman who came passenger in the ship New England. from Calcutta to New York, reports that s hen off Saugur Island on the 4th March, they fell in with the steam boat Enterprise, the Muter of which reported that the British Army bad reached Ara, the capital of the Burmese,.Enspire, and that Sir A. CAMPBELL had. sent word to the Km, that unless the terms contained in the late Treaty were complied with within twenty-fopr hours, he (would destroy the city. In this account the dates correspond so well with the time at which it was expected the Enterprise would arrive at Calcutta with dispatches from Rangoon, as to render it by no means improbable that the intelligence thus received may prove correct. Mr. PA as, the Counsel, and three other Gentlemen, were walking on the Swifts, Carlisle, one day during the Assizes , and these met a little b oy of the name of Brown, of whom they asked several questions, as to his situation in life. They learned that his parents were honest hard-working people, residing in or near Rick ersgate ; and that he himself belonged to the St. Patrick's School, where he was receiving his education. The Gentlemen were so well pleased with the boy's answers, which indicated sincerity and an acuteness beyond his years, that they took him to a dillies shop in Bickers gate, where he was, by their orders, measured for a new suit of clothes, which the boy now wears. Mr. PARK subsequently added his name to the charity of the St. Patrick's school, by requesting that in addition to the boy's education, Is. 6d. a week be paid towards his live lihood, on his (Mr. Iv s) account, until the next Assizes. Last week, in the vicinity of Kingswell-strand til:ery. near Auehterader, a Gentleman and his Lady, f: cm Edinburgh, were on a visit to a friend's house ; and a party, consisting of them, their fliend, his Lady, and another, was formed to visit the Distillery. On their return they had to cross the stream called the Ruth ven, by a narrow wooden bridge which overhangs a pool of some dypth. The Edinburgh Lady shuddered a; tie idea of it ; she protested the bridge was toe frail to sustain them. One of the Gentlemen Assured her st.e wt as mistaken, and to spew at once the strength of th.e bridge and of his own faith, he led the way, and taking the Lady by the hand, she followed him t another Lady followed her. and last of all came the remaining C.r.tlernan—the third Lady, being rather sceptical, remained on terra Pmts. surveying. with horror, the rash attempt. Just as the weight of this adventurous party pressed upon the centre of the bridge, it gave l %ay, then the whole were precipitated into the pool beneath, up to their chins in water. There was no ex tricating themselves by their own efforts, for the bank on one side was steep and lofty ; and the other side inac cessible, owing to the depth of water; and there the Ladlbs had to remain, for some considerable time, kept afloat by the exertions of the Gentleman. until, at length. they reached a more shallow part of sbe_ iver. when they mere !multi in the presence of severaT individuals who hod come to the spot OA hearing streams. ROBBERY OF BANK NOTES. At the latter end of last month, a parcel containing bank notes to the amount of between 5,0001. and 6,0001. the property of Messrs. Paget and Kirby, bankers, in Leicester, was stolen from the Leicester coach. A Gentleman, the friend of the bankers, ttho was going to Leicester, offered to take charge of the bank -notes, in order that no accident might happen to them. lie accordingly placed them in his portmanteau, which was 'stowed away in the usual place in the coach; before, however, the coach reached its destination, it was dis covered that the portmanteau and other property had been stolen. The thieves could not have expected such a prize as the portmanteau contained ; but finding that they had pounced upon that they thought tiny might turn to their advantage, and await of the spot in which they might find purchasers, they hastened op to town, and offered the notes for sale. They found it, however, not so easy a matter to get rid of their spoil upon the expected terms. The activity of the Committee for the protection of bankers from forgery and robbery. for which Committee Mr. Gates is the agent, has interfered greatly with the facilities of disposing of such plunder. fhe banknotes, upon being taken to the neighbour hood of Pentoaville, where there used to be a ready sale, could not find a single purchaser. and the thieves were obliged to resort to the old plan of negociation.— They offered, through their agent, whom custom has permitted to go with impunity in such cases, to deliver up, the ge swag," upon lower terms than had been re ceived by the regular mail-coach robbers. The propo sition was rejected, and an assurance was given upon the part of the bankers that no compromise should take place under any circumstances whatever, but that the thieves should, if possible, be brought to justice. The notes were again produced in the 44 swag mat ket," but fetched.not a bidder, so much terror has the new Com mittee infused into dealers in this description of mer chandise. The thieves again made application for a compromise, and offered the whole for a sum infinitely below their former offer ; but the Committee, deter mined to adhere to the principle of rejecting all terms with rogues, would not consent to give a farthing for the 6,0001. SMUGGLING. Between one and two o'clock in the morning of Sun day last, the officer commanding the blockade party at Fore Moncrief,..near Hythe, being out on duty, heard the report of fire arms, as a signal for a smuggler being on the coast, and proceeding to the spot, accompanied by three of his men, they discovered a very long galley, attended by a large party of smugglers, working her c ergo of contraband goods; a brisk firing instantly commenced, during which two of the smugglers fell, one of whom was seized by the officer, Lieutenant Jrnstone, but he was overpowered by numbers, until r eased by his party; and on renewing the contest, the muggier: retreated into the marsh; with their'soods, leaving behind them fourteen tubs of spirits, and a nian named Bushell, severely wounded; two of the blockade men were also wounded, one of them so seriously, as to leave little hope of his recovery. Jost after the smug glers retreated, Lieutenant Westbrook came up with Isis party, and pursued them into the marshes, where he found three muskets they had abandoned, and a half anker, through which a ball had passed, in such a di rection, that if the person carrying it escaped the shot, it must have been by a miracle. The prisoner's wound being in the knee, has rendered amputation necessary above that joint. Tuesday about noon, a man stripped himself upon the beach, opposite the bathing-rooms at Dover, and went into the water to bathe, in sight of several people who were near the place; and after enjoying himself for some time, plunging about in the water, he gave an alarm, and struggled as if he was conscious that his life was in danger. The sentinels of the Coast Blockade procured the boat stationed at the post, and put off to his assistance; but while they were thus engaged, a number of men crowded towards the shore, and with a rope drew out a few tubs of spirits, and taking one each upon their shoulders, walked Noway with their loads,and got clear off by the Marine Parade, when the prome nade was literally thronged. The drowning man im mediately recovered his strength,his object being merely to divert the sentinels from their post, until his coin. 1 rades had worked the goods which were sunk. The• water has since been dragged, and forty tubs found in 1 the same place. Sir Hatay Haman arrived in town on Wednes day evening from the Ktne's Pavilion at &lemon. where ilir Henan had been staying since Ilboday, en a visit to the Duke of Yeas. The HonourableCorps of a:sidemen Pensioners dined together on Wednesday, at the Freemasons' Tavern, to celebrate the Birth day of the Duke .f TOIL Tat Moons.—As yet it is- rather too early to speak of the feats performed by our sportsmen. One or two of our friends had very slender auceen on Saturday; but much depends on the nature of the ground over which a fowler has liberty to ramble ; and more than this, the young birds are this year so strong and shy, that it is very difficult to get within shot of them. Still, under every disadvantage, one Gentleman bagged on the 12th nine brace of grouse, and a thumping bare, although be was only out from 11 ant. to 4 ras.—Dunsfries angrier. About the middle of January last, ii happened that the wife of a travellingackman, at Neumunster, in Holstein, was drawing near the time of her confine ment, just as he was upon the point of setting out on one of his circuits. He called the midwife, and desired her,during his absence, to pass the night with his wife till her approaching delivery. The midwife, however, assured him that the event need not be expected for some time, and that her preserce was therefore unne cessary. in the faith of this the man set forth on his journeys On the ensuing night there suddenly appeared to the pregnant wonvan,who had neglected, in a country 'so secure, to bolt the door, a fignife in a mask, and armed with a long sword, which figure demanded he: stock of money, with threats. Trembling with terror, the mistress elf the house delivered it up. The person in disguise next demanded some silver articles, a watch, &c. which the woman denied she posse►sed ; but this well-informed apparition told her that they lay in a cupboard in the other apartment, and commanded her to fetch them forth. The poor woman tottered away to the place, which was the sleeping•roont ; there her eye happened to catch her husband's loaded pint 11 hanging upon the wall. Taking courage all at once, she made a bold resolution, stretched out her hand for it, and returning, without the silver things, gently into the sitting apartment, she took aim at the person in disguise. pulled the trigger, struck the intruder up n the thigh, and brought it to the mound. Alarmed by the report, the neighbours hastened in, and, nnmasking the terrible robber, it was fotutd to be—the midwife 1. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. SI ANSI° N. 11 OUSE. A cripple, who trails his legs after him on the ground, was brought before the Loan Marna, on a charge of vagrancy. Allen, the officer, stated, that the prisoner was one of the greatet nuisances in the streets. His extremely wretched figure procured him plenty of money, and he was in consequence constantly drunk. His drunkenness was not unfrequently thought to hellions by pas sengers. He took with him a little white-beaded boy, Whose long silvery locks bad considerable effect on the feelings of the Ladies.— This little wretch was also seen with him in a state of intoxication. Prisoner belonged to St. Giles's parish, but they never kept him in ; perhaps it would keep him out of the City, if his Lordship were to give him a short confinement in Bridewell. The Lofts MATOR said, he should decline taking that course—k would be just what the parish wanted. They cared not what nui. sances their paupers became, so that they got rid of them. His Lord ship was convinced that the streets might be entirely cleared of dis gusting objects, if the parish officers did their duty. His Lordship said, that the repetition of these cases would compel him to make a complaint to the Secretary of State on the subject. Allen said that this sort of paupers abounded in St. Giles's, where they were not interfered with by the parish officers. The Loan Maims sent the prisoner back to bis parish, with an intimation to the parish officers, that if they were found in the City to have sent others of their poor thus at large, to infest the streets, they must expect that sonar proceedings would be taken to check the the practice. GUILDHALL. Yesterday, a geoteel looking young man, named larkley, was brought before the Sitting Magistrate (Amstar), charged with em . 6d. bezzling two sums of 21.111. id. and ss. the property of his employers. The prisoner had been employed as a collecting Clerk to the pro secuton, and in that capacity had received several sums on their ac count. They had no cause to suspect his dishonesty, until the day on which he misappropriated the above sums; and it was remark ,hble that on that occasion be had banded over a few sums which he 4sad received from his master's employers: • The prisoner (in a Ushering voice) denied the charge of embez zlement, saying that he had paid over the money to a brother-in law. who was also in the prosecutor's employment. The Alderman banded him over for trial at the Sessions. Anil nurse-looking personage, called Jana, wes charged with having Introduced several pints of gin, and other curdiab, into White Cross.street prison. The worthy spirited philanthropist had filled three bladders with Hedge's genuine extract, one of which he bad stuffed into his hat, and the other two he bad concealed in the dark profound of two very deep and dangerous pockets. Thus equipped he marched to the portal of the gaol, and assuming the most indifferent aspect, and whistling up his courage, he craved admittance. The turnkey ap peared to eye him with great keenness, and was about to let fly a sharp volley of questions, when lo the bladder In his hat bunt, and down came its precious contents in gentle rills over his cheeks. This was proof demonstrative • a search commenced, and the two other bladders were instantly brought out of darkness. Alderman Anstrr—Well, Sir, what say you to this charge? Prisoner—Oh! your Worship, you must be lenient on me; I have an aged Infirm mother to support. and am in wretched circum stances. I tried this bit of thing in order to earn a few shillings, to iteitiery mother and myself from starving. worthy Aidetman said that the Legislature bad imposed a heavy penalty on them who introduced spirituous liquors into any of his Way's gaols, for the purpose of preserving the morals of the.prisoners; and he therefore felt it his duty to convict him in the lowest penalty of 101. and in default of payment, he must be locked up for 14 days. Henry Brownell, the seaman, was re-examined, charged with neglecting to maintain two children. He was remanded, that the Churchwarden might be satisfied by reference to the ship's papers that the prisoner was absent from England so Jong before the birth of the children, as to resider It impossible chit he should be the fa. ther of them. Captain Graydon, who commanded the Kent at that time, stated that the prisoner left Gravesend on the 6th of July, 1820, and re turned on the 4th 'Winne, 1825. Upon this testimony the prisoner was discharged, the Magistrate holding the non-access to be established. 21leans Brontimell, his brother, was afterwards apprehgpded, and being sworn to as the father of t he children by Mrs. FL Bromwril, was directed to And balk BOW-STREET. Nine prostitutes, the eldest of whom was only 17 years of age, while the youngest could not have been more than 11, were brought up in company of a woman named Mary That, who bad a daughter among the juvenile delinquents, charged with creating a riot and disturbance under the piazzas of Covent Garden on the ni:ht of Wednesday. The riot was fully proved against all the prisoners f and one of the wretched girls, either stung by remorse at the thoughts of the course she was pursuing, or prompted by feelings less to be commended, accused the woman Brett with encouraging several young girls, her own daughter amongst the number, in their abominable traffic.— According to the statement of the girl, which was fully corroborated by several of her companions, this guilty and most unnatural mo ther kept a house of resort and refuge for young thieves and pros. dtutes, the latter of whom she took under her special protection, supplying them with various articles of dress, its return for which she received a portion of the wages of their iniquity. After tricking out her miserable pupils in Sitpsy nery, she would follow them to their nightly haunts, and make them. share with her their guilty earnings. A disclosure of a more revolting description could scarcely have been made, and It excited in the office the strongest feelings of disgust and indignation towards the abandoned woman, who alone was accountable for the misconduct of her young and wretched victims. Their behaviour, however, was such as to excite but little pity. With the exception of one poor girl, who showed symptoms of remorse, they were aU of them old offenders, and treated the matter with the utmoskievity. Mr. blntinext., after expresting alt indignant terms his opinion of the woman's conduct, said be was at a loss to know how to dispose of the unfortunate girls. If he sent them to the House of Correction, it could only be for a limited period, when they would come out even wore than they went in, and immediately follow their former habits. Under these eircumii. nces, he thought it better to send them to the workhouse, and as it happened that they all belonged to the parish of St. Giles,they were sent in custody to the workhouse there, while the woman was fully committed to prison as a rogue and vagabond. An investigation of rather extraordinary nature occurred at this Peet on Wednesday evening. An elderly, well.dressed man, turned Shoolbrook, a foreman in the employ Of Kerry and Forrest, tailors, of Bury -street, St. Jamer's, presented himself before Mr. Mussin.r. it, the early part o f t he day, and begged to have hie Worship's advice:—Lie said his wife accused him of attempting to poison her and het eleven children !—aid her children encouraged her lu makiug so unnatural au accusation against him. As he conk dried it to be a conspiracy un the pirt of his family to get rid of him, be latogyd his Worship to have the parties before him, that he alight halm as. opportunity of eaculpsting himself. Ateorditigly in I the evening he W ; h attentlanee with his friends, and his wife ea u ,. attended byrive or six of their grownup sons and daughters, all of them manifesting very unbecoming feelings towards their father. Mrs. Shnolbrook said she had been in the habit of drinking s tate , in the night, and having taken some on the night in question, and given some to one of ber children, the child bream° sick; t h e basin wu II examined, vnd a white sediment found at the honor- 4 This sediment proved to he merely what might have adhered to the common yellow ware of which the basin was made ; an I the wh a l e charge appeared to have been got up, as the husband *Alerted, t o bring shoot a separation. If this was Mrs. Shoothronles object, she had gained it, for Sboolbrook declared he would never return home, The Magistrate db.charged, whilst he pitied, the husband. I' ATTON-C.; A RORY. Sneak Smith, was charged with rol , b'ne Wm. Front, of St, Helena-place, Spa-a-ids, of Li ros. on Wednrsday Oro-venor street, Ckrkenwell.

Joists Kershaw was charged by a publican in the Vicinity of Safre o u Hill, with endeavouring to defraud him of gs. in giving change of sovereign. Complainant described the prisoner as a common im: pastor, going about to public houses, tendering a si)fereign to change; bat while the silver is being taunted out, he pretends that he wants a half sovereign; and, in giving back the nioney,tonttiv e s to purloin part of the silver.—Committed for want of bail: Al A RLDOILOUG lISTREgr. Hegry Harris, journeyman baker to Mr. Norman. of the Ramp. stead-road, was brought up for embezzling various sums of Thorley he bad received in the name of his master, without accounting for them. Though twenty or thirty cases could have been brought against the prisoner, two were considered sufficient for the ends of justice. Jane Mills, servant to Mr. Matthew Abereorn, in the Hampstead rons!, paid the prisoner 1/. la. SJ. for a bill be delivered in hi: master's name, for bread furnished to her master, which he ts. ceipted with a pencil, in the month of June. Mrs. Eliza King, of the iligh-street. Hampstead, paid the pri soner 10s. on account of his master, which he receipted with a p-n -ell, and hadoicce become obliterated. The prisoner said he was arrested and taken to Whitecross-str, prison, where he had been detained eight weeks, till he paid tli.! debt ; he had no intention of robbing his master; b.it in the harry and his anxiety at the time, had forgotten to tell his muter what 1,.. had reeelved. His master bad written to him in prison, threatenin; If be did not pay he would lodge a detainer against him. lie was so little acquainted with matters of that kind that be did not know what it meant till he asked some of the prisoners; then he wrote to his master, but had not received an answer. Mr. Norman said the prisoner was arrested sin months ago fn• 201. which he settled for him, and the prisoner wn'to repay it by instalments; he was then deficient in hie account', which witness looked over on account of his embarrassment ; but the cmbezz!c ments, to the number of twenty or thirty, had been effected :intr. The prisoner was fully committed for falsely obtaining money in his master's name. •"'•SONzfrerl. l. " 4l ••• UNION•HALL. Yesterday, Samuel Dios, better known by the engnomen of Darrh Sans, the Pugilist, was brought before the Sitting; Magistrates, Swanar and Sowallow DAvb, Esqrs. for a second examination, C 1 the charge preferred against Aim the day before by Martin. The Office was again thronged with scientific men in the ^ fistic line," the friends of the parties. From Martin's appearance it would seem that he was in a rapid consumption. Ile was assisted into Office on crutches, and had that hectic Sulk on his cheeks which denotes the last stage of a pulmonary complaint; his wife, no t': , ! other hand, was the picture of health. She tripped into the Offi:e, and up to the Magistrates table, gayly dressed, with a profusion of nodding plumes of feathers in her bonnet. Her husband was granted the indulgence of a chair, on account of his very ill state of health. Martin having repeated the particulars of the alleged dance against Dutch Sam, which has already appeared, the farmer under went a rigid-cross.examination by Mr. Lee, the Attorney, and he did not vary io the slightest degree from his original statement, but firmly believed Dutch Sam had taken the at/. out of his desk, as well as the coral necklace, which was traced to a pawnbroker's hi the London Road, and subsequently ascertained to have been pledged there by the prisoner. George Lloyd, a waiter in Maftin's service, in reply to the Ma gistrate's questions, said, that Dutch Sam was on the must intimate footing at his master's house, previous to the sudden and unexpected depac cure of Mrs. Martin from home, and the missing of the money and necklace from the desk. Dutch Sam used to be all over the house; in fact, he bad the complete run of the house during his master's illness, and was very attentive —very attentive indeed, said the waiter," to my mistress." It was here contended by Martin's solicitor that a prised facie case of felony had been made out against Sam, while on the other side it was strongly urged that there was no pretence for charging the defendant with any offence, be having merely pledged the arti "tie, which he was charged with having stolen, at the request of Mrs. Martin, who was now called In to prove that fact. The complainant's wife baying been sworn, in answer to the Magistrate, said, that she was at her husband's house in the Borough on Friday last until the afternoon, at which time she admitted having given Dutch Sam her coral necklace to pledge, in order to pay her coach hire down to litigate. Martin was about entering into a long account of his wife's In tripes, and infidelity to him since the commencement of his serious illness, but was stopped short by the Magistrates, who observed, that they had nothing to do with the question of his wife's smears. The charge of felony was the offence which they now had before them, and they could not listen to any extraneous matter. Math was then asked whether he could trace the notes that had been stolen? He replied that he was fearful he could not, on account of not hay- Jag the numbers of them. After a great deal of recriminatory matter passing between Martin and his spouse, in the course of which the " Lady" appeared perfectly insensible to the situation in which she then stood, the Magistrates observed, that the cbsrge must be dismissed, and accordingly gave directions to discharge the prisoner. TOW A LL. Catharine Gill was brought from St. Olave's watch• Louse as dis orderly. It scalp she was knocking at the door of the Admiral Hood, Tooley-street, and refusing to stir on the watchman's order, • - was taken to the watch house. In ber defence, she said that It was - - - - only half.past eleven, and that she was merely endeavouring to obtain a pint of porter for her husband's sapper. The watchman I sneering at the name of a husband, a young sailor assured the Al derman they bad been once called in Church, and he meant to marry her, though he knew how she had been living; but she meant to steer another course when she was spliced, and after assuring the Magistrate he meant to be true to his word, she st•iiii discharged, and went away laughing... Accounts from Cape Town state, that Mr. TIMM.. Pau a Wesleyan Missionary, and two men in his company, had been treacherously murdered by a bushman, who undertook to ;uide them. REMARKABLEINSTANCE OF CABIN! AFFECTIOII.—A beautiful little bitch, belonging to JOHN LAI4II, Esq. Lanark, has discovered a remarkable attachment to a pet lamb, about two months old, lately pre.ented to the young Ladies. Their acquaintance has been only of a few weeks standing. The other day, little Fanny was missing ; and after anxious search was made in every (limner, she was at length found in the park, fast locked in the embraces cf her woolly companion. Sensible that her friend cannot join with her in picking a bone, or licking a soup plate, she has been repeatedly seen carrying straw to her, in order to add trs her comfort. This little animal was never known to bite. She has a most sympathetic ear for mink, and discovers a sen sation that thrills her whole frame for sounds of a plaia tive tone.
