Near the 331 mile stone, on the London road, near Rairthinn, Norfolk, iu the garden of a cot tamer, ties the decaying trunk of an ancient oak, which has lost its important character and honours by time, that luis with it also destroyed its roots, its foliage, and its limbs. The tree itself was at once a parish boundary, also a sea-mark, and sepa rated the eastern and western divisions of the coun ty. These were autficient to give it importance— this may be replaced, but never obtain the honour the poor old stumu can boast, as it was under that tree the famed Watts, of Rochester, in the year of his Mayoralty, in company with the Corporation, met the more famous Queen Elizabeth, on her re turn from Dover, where she had been to view part of her fleet after it had defeated the Spanish Ar mada, and under which she and they enjoyed • tlejeatne, leaving the remainder of viands, plates, knives, and forks, for the use of the poor of the parish of Rainham ; after which she accompanied the cavalcade to the Worshipful the Mayor's house, on Briley Hill, which she called " Sails." from the sumptuous entertainment she enjoyed there. When this tree, worn out with age and lime, fell down, other plants were placed in the same silos lion, but, as though the earth felt jealous of a sup planter, it refused to uuurish them ; nor have arty elliorto to raise another oak on that spot, although several attempts have been made, ever succeeded. On Friday last, as Miss M&ay JActso*r who resided in the parish of Bishop's Chit, near Exeter, was walking on die Terrace. in front of Summerland-place, on her return home, she was soddenly alarmed at the approach of a cow towards her, and, in her haste to avoid the annual, she fell from off the foot path. Medical assistance was pro cured, she was bled, and appeared to have recswer ed. in some degree ; from the effects of her fright ; but we are sorry to add, she died shortly after. A Curorier's Inquest was held, who returned 'verdict , Died by excessi,e fright, occasioned by a cow."

Stu—The moment I bad been examined yesterday, I left the Collet, and was afterwards informed that sumo animad version fell Prom the Judge, un my attending to give evi dence against my father, which was presently followed by his stating that be had learnt, with sati.faction, that l bad nut coma forward willingly. As this latter statement is omitted in the Newspaper re ports, it has been thought needful that I should explain the facia. I first knew of the cease by its being mentioned, a frw days ago, is a letter from my &thee, and the day after that letter reached me 1 was served by Mr Carter, the Plaintiff's attorney, with a subpinna. He told me that the fact he wanted me to speak to was, that when 1 had seen a quantity of the papers complained of lying at my father's office, in Bridge-street, 1 bad requested the Clerk to put them aside, and take an early opportunity of destroying them. This was true; but ant seeing myself how it could be of importance in the cause, I begged that 1 might not be called, and he pro. mimed to oblige me in this, if lie could. When the hint came on I was attending a public meeting, et the City of Loudon Tavern, soil allowed a second and peremptory uses sage to come from Nlr. Carter, before 1 obeyed his summons. On entering the Court I went to him, and begged be would suffer use to ask his Counsel whether my evidence might nut be dispensed with, which be readily.consented to; but, ou applying to Mr. Serjeant Lens, he told me I must stay. It was in conseqeenee of my having made this inquiry that 1 aloud near to the Plaintiff's Counsel, when Mr. Serjeant Copley ruse to cross examine me, and this drew from him bin first exclainatioo and question, if it was possible that I could be there conducting such a cause against my father! That I ime there was most painful to my awn feelings, and it is scarcely less so that there should have been a necessity fur 03C to revive the subject by this explanation. 1 am, Ic. &c.

The shew of horses at York last week was nu. rnerously attended by dealers, and a great many horses of various descriptions were brought for sale: those of superior quality were readily purchased at high prices, and inferior ours in general sold well.

The shoulder of one of them was lacerated, as if gnawed by the wretched man from excess of hunger, but more probably by vermin. These circumstances have given rise to a variety of conjecture as to the cause of the catas trophe ; but as the place in which they appear to have been coufined is known •s having been here tofore occupied by the English, as a lock-up place for petty offences, it is more than probable that when the troops evacuated the place, these unfortu nate mess were forgotten by the person to whore custody they may have been tetuporarily confided.
