Last week as she workmen of. Mr. A. Marks, of Liskeard were cutting across an ash -tree, they disto vered a birtl's nest in the interior of the tree, contain iug three eggs. The nest was entirely surrounded with sound timber, about eight inches thick, with out the least appearance of an opening to the out zide.—About 30 years ince, a similar discovery was =dein Plymouth Dock yard, a bird called a heck mai, being found sitting tot its eggs, in the centre of a bare oak tree, which, by its immense growth, must have been enclosed 80 or 90 years. The on being touched, fell into dust the skeleton of the bird and its nest have been preserved for the inspec tion of the curious. The inclosare of living toads in large blocks of marble has been occasionally per ceived ; but the above discovery is a novel circum stance, and merits the attention of the naturalist. AVe understand that the King of Prussia has or &red to leave Jena (the Uuiversitv to which the ...sassin of Kotzebue latterly belougea), such of bin sqbjeets as were there pro-ecutina their studies. There are so many well founded obstacles to the removal of the Haymarket to the lic,, ,, ent's Park, that any proposition to remove it is likely to Meet ‘vith a successful opposition in Parliament. Those who must be injured in their property by its re moval, have 4 strong case in their favour; but -as an idea of remuneration hats been held out, they will t unwisely if, in depending on such, they should relax in their opposition. The distortiing old esta llishments to accommodate fantastical alterations, ana the making a new street that is not wanted, is .considered by the public extreincly improper. _ . . .

The account of the departure of Mrs. Davison for America is contradicted front authority in the paper in which the misAatement originally appear ed. That lady has been engaged for some time past to the Manager of Covent Garden Theatre, and is performing at present, for a fetv nights,' at the Aberdeen Theatre. The Grand Duke Michael arrived at Rome on the 28th ult. and next day be had an audience of thy' Pope, who received him with great distinction. The mama day his Holiness held a Secret Consistory, at which an extensive clerical promotion took place. A monk at Rome, in the course of exploiing the traces of one of the twelve Monasteries of Saint Be nedict, has discovered a large edititx, which is sup posed to have been built by Nero. He has opened a length of 160 feet, and titund 12 chambers square and circalar, besides an aqueduct of 200 paces. A list is publ-shed in the official paper of 800 in- • dividuals belonging to fits:apnea Grand Army in the Russian campaign, whose fate is .till unknown; which number, added to the 55 similar lists pre viously published, makes an aggregate of 14,000 pentons, respecting whom no information has been obtained. The statement that the King has referred the petition of the widow of Marshal Brune to the Royal Court of Paris, is contradicted.

Tile building of the County Fire Office at the tor of Waterloo-place, in Piccadilly, is constrtictvd with massive iron beams, and with arches to render it firr. proof. If this example be followed, what oceasior. kill there be for s l'ire Office? Francis Maule, Fel. Solicitor to the Treasury, accompanied by another official Gentleman, arrived at Penryti, on Friday last, for the purpose of cal-. leering evidence fur his Alajesty's Attorney-General, to prosecute Henry Swann, John Goodeve, Henry Dunsford, and Abraham Winn, conformably to the order of the House of COmmons: they devoted the whole of Saturday and Monday to the exarninatiout of witnesses, and sct off on Tuesday morning fdr Barnstaple- On Wanesday the Grand Jury for the county or Middlesex found true bills of indictment for wiltal: and corrupt ps jury against five of the principal' witnemes produced in !Altair of the petitirmer, who were examined befare the Select Committee appoiof ed to sty the merits of the election fur Penryn. The troops at present in Scotland are soon :n change their quarters.

DANDY VAG/RAN-T.—A young man, very genteflie dressed, with a high collar to his shirt, in a suit rif handsome blue clothes, with a pair of new doe-skin gloves, and in fill 'Style of the preient tlaffily fashion, was on Wednesday brought to Lambeth-street Office.— ' The Oilicers stater; tlrat • they found•.hint with a large ~ paper attached to his breast, and presenting himself for the purpose' of soliciting charity of every well-dressed Rirson Whitechapel rood. Some of the. Officers in h at tettilatice !et-ogitised hint is; an old offender, and sated that they had seen him several times before roiling Matches and asking eisarity.—After an examination of some length, the Magistrate, Mr. Rawlinson, stated, that he regarded the prisoner as a gross impostor *and as he' was desirous to second the exertions of the Soclety for the Soopression of Menclicity, as well as to punish the impteiiton oil the public, he should commit him as a rogue aid tagabowl, and order him to be passed to his parish or Winetteiter. The recall tlf the Prussian students from Jena is ascribed in the Flemish papers to a resoltoinn of the Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar, publicly notified, that no tiireigners shall be allowed to Study at Jena but such as can produce formal recommendations from their respective Courts. Does it, then, follow that there were no Prussian students at Jena whom their own Government thought worthy of such a mark of its protection ? _ _ It is said that his Royal Highness the Prince Re gent intends forming a Guard of Honour, which are to be habited in a rich Hungarian uniform.— Prince Esterhazy has lately brought over with hint from Hungary two of the most eminent tailors, who have brought with them various patterns of uni forms richly embroidered, it is said, for the inspec tion of his Rnval Highness, and that they are brought over tier the express pur a xise of making the uniforms. Prince Leopold, we are informed, has been &s -tabled abroad under cireumstantes as unavoidable as distressing to his feelings—the alarming and conti nued illness of the Dowager Duche.ss, his mother.
