I TO sootily happens that the dog is killed before any one is assured of his condition.—M. Pettitt, an eminent surgeon, of France, has discovered an expedient for putting an end to this uneasiness : He rubs the throat, teeth, and gums, of the dead dog with a piece of meat that has been tirehsed, (taking care that there has beets no blood to stain it), and then otters it to a living, dog; if he refuses it with crying and howling, the dead dog was certainly mad; but, if it is well-received, and eaten, there is nothing to fear. • On Wednesday morning last, one of the colliers at Govan Colliery, while holitlg a (laugh composed of soft shale, in which mere imheddod iron stone halls, found a live load in a cavity in Ote nuder side of one of the halls, which the body of the toad completely filled. The hall Inv immediately above an under stratum of coal, and tifty-six fathoms from the surface. Last week, a cat in Greenock brought forth the most wonder ful and perfect monster of her own species that is to be met w ith: It has one head, four ears. eight tttet, and two tails; it is one body from the navel up, as if it were breast to bream, and from the navel hark forms two distinct kittens; what is remarkable, the one is male, and the other female. It had suckled for some dais, and, from all appearance, would have lived to maturity; but, most unfortunately for the admirers of natural curiosities, was deprived of its life from superstitious motives. It is now in the possession of Mr. William Gameron, surgeon there. Thursday se'imight a young lady from London, of the name of rapper, who had been on a visit at Birmingham, arrived at AVoreester by the mail coach, at the usual hour, aud, after taking some refreshment, proceeded towards Bristol. After leaving travelled severak miles on the road to Tewkesbury, nue of the horses became so re-tive and unmanageable, that the guard went from the dickey to the coach box, to assist in govern ing and pulling them up, in this effort the reigns broke ; when the guard got down for the purpose of stopping their horses, who had now set off at full speed : in this attempt he was like wise unfortunate; and the leaders having extricated themselves from the carriage, the wheel-horses turned into kipple-lane.- 1 he coachman then jumped from the box, in the hope of being ;l;te to arrest their career: lint failing in his purpose he was stunned and thrown down, and, upon recovering himself, melan c hal v to relate, he found the young lady (who, n kb a child of the coachman's, were the only passengers), lifeless near the same spot. It can only at present he conjectured that, alarmed at her danger, she must have been killed in attempting to throw herself from the coach. When the horses sloped, the child was found unhurt in the coach. EXCCUTION.--Simmons, the murderer, was executed on Monda), pursuant to his sentence, at half past eleven o'clock in the forenoon, between lien-fore and Ware.

Robert Mattison. .1 ohn Hopkins, and George William Dundas, were imbued for the murder ofJohn Ogleby, on the 7th of Fe bruary last, at Danbury, in this county. The above three prison ers w ere the principal and seconds in a duel. They w ere all very young men and Officers in the Ist regiment afoot. It appeared, that the deceased had quarrelled with one of the prisoners, when he was in a state of intoxication, and had hehaved with the greatest indignity. The consequence was, a challange, and the deceased was shot through the body. After hearing the evidence, the Lord Chief Baron observed, that there was no proof of identity, and therefore the prisoners must be acquitted ; and it was lucky for them the evidence did not reach, as if it did, one at least, if not all, would probably have suffered an ignominious death. The Jury found them— Not Guilty. TUESDAY'S LONDON GAZETTE. Crotrn-Office, March 8,180 R. mrstrr.us RETURNED TO SERVE IN PARLIAMENT. Cluntri ef 11 ,-, .stirtritth.—The Hon.
