Last week as she workmen of Mr. A. Marks, of Liskeard were cutting across an ash -tree, they disco vered a bird's nest in the interior of the tree, contain ing three eggs. The nest was entirely surrounded Keith sound timber, about eight inches thick, With out the least appearance of an opening to the out side.—About 30 years since, a similar discovery was tirade in Plymouth Dock yard, a bird called a -heck :nal, being found sitting on its eggs, in the centre of a bare oak tree, which, by its immense growth, must have been enclosed 80 or 90 years. The eggs, On being touched, tell into dust : the skeleton of the bird and its nest have been preserved for the inspec tion of the curious. The inclosure ot• living toads in large blocks of marble hits been occasionally per ceived ; but the above discovery is a novel circum stance, and merits the amention of the naturalist. We understand that the King of Prussia has or dered to leave Jena (the University to which the assassin of Kotzebue latterly belonged), such of his subjects as were there prosecuting their studies. There are so many well founded obstacles to the removal of the Haymarket to the Regent's Park, that any proposition to remove it is likely to meet with a successful opposition in Parliament. Those who must be injured in their property by its re moval, have a strong case in their favour ; but as an idea of remuneration has been held out, they will •act unwisely if, in depending on such, they should relax in their opposition. The disturbing old esta blishments to accommodate fantastical alterations, and the making a new street that is not wanted, is considered by the public extremely improper. Tait mart o► Brusono.—The Duke of Medford, we are extremely sorry to state, met with a serious accident, at his seat, Woburn Abbey, on Wednriday lastosbilc riding in the Park with several diginguishrd personages, svaai were there on a visit. The Duke was 'mounted no his favourite white pony, and galloping with his cumpaoy, the poov by tonne means tripped, and fell as if shot. The Duke pitched partly on his head and shoulder, nail was fur some miniacs rendered ie•sensihle. The company was much alarm•-d re, - the fate of his Grace. and gave him every assistance in their power. The servaut was sent with the Inmost ex peditiou for a carriage in w hirls his Grace was cotoved to tire Abbey, and Instantly eitended by 1)r. Walker. of Wuhurn, who crammed the Dukes head, neck, and shoulders, step Was happy to aanounce there 14 ;ism, fracture nor dislocatiun, but a very severe cuntnainn 44.1 the head and shoulder. fits Grace's eyes became quite bin k, and his face much swelled. On Friday his Grace arrived in town, at his hoti ton-place, in order to have the bee medical : lie had no rest on Friday sight, and suffered mach pain: he cannot lie down, hut sits nearly upright in bed. The Duchess of Bedford was at tirighton, and was not made acquainted with the Diolt's nerid nt until Friday afternoon, when her Grace imoutoliattly set out from Bri t cht.l.4 4 :411.1 arrived at Hamilton-place l.t one u'clon k urn Satoirda) morning. The HIM% er to the numerous enquiries, on Satur day was—his (rocs is much hitter, _ . . * Tim Finance Report has been brought, it is said, ' to a clove. The result is briefly this :—The amount ' of the Sinking Fund in the hands of the %inners, 1 4,ooo,oool.—Deficienc y of the I lect ipts fbr Taxes compared with the Expenditure, 13,000,0001. —Surplus, if the Sinking Fund, instead of being al. lowed to accumulate, be applied to the service of the year, 1,000,0001. Thus we are precisely in the state in which we were when Mr. Pitt began his Sinking Fund, with this difference only—we then owed and raised Taxes to pay the . Interest of 300,000,0001. ; Aq . l now owe and raise Taxes to pay the' Interest of 800,000,0001.! THE NATIONAL REGISTER. Pomp. THE STIR. Cease, firm Alpheus, Trade-board Manner, List ye tradesmen all to me; Yeomen, hear a brothel farmer, " Sing the dangers of the sea:" Prom ships, corn-laden, first in motion, Where the distant harvests rise, To our brick-tax it Land of Goshen. Where we've Pharaoh's plague of flies. Hark! the Premier softly calling— By rotten-burghs. and pensions stend— Down Whig-gallants, quick he hauling-- Down Cutmaddresses, hand, boys, hand!

The Grand Duke Michael arrived at Rome on the 28th ult. and next day he had an audieuce of the Pope, who received him with great distinction. The same day his Holiness held a Secret Consistory, at which an extensive clerical promotion took place.

A list I% published in the official paper of 800 in dividuals belonging to Bonaparte's Grand Army in the Russian eotnpaign, whose fate is still unknown; which number„ added to the 53 similar lists pre viously published, males an aggregate of 12,000 persons, respecting whom no information has been obtained. The stattaueut that the King has referred the petition of the widow of Marshal Brune to the Royal Court of Paris, is contradicted.

Dam iy AGRA:sr.—A young, man, %cry sent ed v dressed, with a high collar to his shirt, io a suit of handso ale blue cb,thes, Stith a pair of new doe4kin gloves, and in full style of the present dandy fashion, was on Wcilmsday brought to Lambeth-sleet Office.— The 0 Ricers stated, that they found him with a love paper attached to his breast, and presenting himself for the p arpo te of soliciting charity of uvery well-dressed persot s in Whitechapel road. Some of the O ffi c e rs in amen dance teasgoited him a: an old offender, and stated that they had seen him several times before selling snatches and asking charity.—After an examination of some, length, the /41agistrate, Mr. Ilawlaison, stated, that he regarded the prisoner as a gross impostor; and as h e was desirOUS to second the exertions of the Society for 1.1. Suppression of Mendieity, as well as to punish the imposition on the pahlic, he should commit hint,as a maim and iagabond, and order him to be passed to bis pariAs at Wineheiter. The recall of the Prussian students from Jena is aseesbed in the Flemish papers to a resoltvion of the Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar, publicly notifie4, that no foreigners shall be allowed to study at Jena but such as can produce fintmal recommendations from their respective Courts. Does it, then, fidlow that there were no Prussian students at Jena whom their • own Government thought worthy of such a mark of its protection ? Prince Leopold, we are informed, has been de tained abroad under circumstances as unavoidable as distressing to his feelings—the alarming and conti nued illness of the Dowager Duchess, his mother. A favourable turn in her Serene Ilighness's health has at length, however, permitted the Prince to snake the necessary arrangements fur his return home ; and every preparation is now snaking here in expeaation of his Royal Highness's arrival at the end of the present or the beginning of the en string month. A few days ago Mrs. Overend, of the High Causeway, in Leeds, while sitting in her shop, was affected by a sulphureot: smell, and concluded that the ;.;as must have made its escape from the main pipe that runs into the cellar. She called in her neighbour.:, and they incautiously proceeded into the cellar with a lighted candle.
