LOCAL PoLICE.—TIfe tootle of pmtecting the parish of St. Crux, York, from nocturnal depredations, is at once an economical. and in other respects so worthy of imitation, that tots nitwit publicity cannot be given to the means by which it is elf:veil. The military are bound by a voluntary engagement to supply a patrol of two of their number to walk the parish every night, and pertbrin the duty of ordinary watchmen. Th., tour of duty to each effective member of this excellent association reverts but once in six weeks; and when attendance is impracticable, mercenary is procured for two shillings. On the outset of their career they put w flight two nests of reprobates, since which time the parish las enjoyed the utmost security and quiet. A watch house for the accommodation of the patrol is now building on a spot adjoining the church. MittACULOUS CIRCUMGTANCE.—[From the Phi atiesei Gastlte, uf Sept.

Mfditos.—A very curious piece of mechanism was exulibited in IVliitehaven during the last Lett days, which has been in motion with roily one interval, (is we are assured and believes to be a fact), five years or upwards. It consists of only tine small hot mon tal wheel, not exceeding 3-fourths of au inch in diameter, through the centre of which, on the plane of the wheel, passes a small mattnettc bar, projectiug alsom 3-fourths of an Itleil beyond the circumference at the wheel on one side, and about 3 eights of an inch on the other side. These projections are called the North and Smith Riles. Tsie axis of the wheel is, of course, perpendicular. tic ope rative power is magnetism. 11911106011 (pr-bably owitig to friction inseparable fro.a the long continued actiott of toe avis in its sockets) is somewhat irregular ; but on the whole, it is a curiosity highly deserving attention.

The poor horse is supposed to have met with this extraoruitiary wutrid at the battle of Watt r h o.

No other person was hurt. The main imitate man lies is very dangerous state. He had deservedly the eharat.tt•r of a steady coachman, and was highly respecied. Ail awful instance oh sudden death occurred a few lays since at Worthing. A gentleman of the name of Home fusing occasion to paint his house, incautiously remained in it, contrary to tile advice of his Iris-lids, during the 000 c the men were employed. On the fourth day he was seized with vomitings, 111(1 complained of a giddiness in the head. A physicieu was immediately ,eiit tor, but before he could arrive, the unfortunate man was senseless.
