A very ingenious machine for making Shoe Lasts, (the mould of wood upon which n shoe or hoot is.commonly shaped) has lately been made by Mr. Byrne, of the Settlement of St. Patrick; on the River Jacques Cartier.

THY. niersEtt. At five o'clock about 120 of the Members of the Clitb, and their friends, being assembled at the Freemasons' Tavern, sat down to an excellent dinner; but unfortunately, owing to the Very late taking of the tickets, by more than two-thirds of them; laid in too small a room for the complete . tannfort of those assembled. • Sir Joust S.

Besides the int- Imminent of live-stock, theite Exhibitions and-Meetings have the effect of forming Abond of union amongst one of the most important classes of 6,.. , lciety—the farmers—who are twapt to adept local prejudices, and consider their own•and neighbours' interests as opposed to those of other districts, but which delu sions these Meetings haven tendency to remove, and to cause all to meet as brothers. ;Ile Concluded one of the neat speeches LI which he isalistinguishotlait'a Chairrhan, by observing, that in applauding the toast which he should .now give, he begged them to be considered' as. cheering, not themselves, but thc arses in which they were' engaged ; and gave, "Success to the kimittifield which was drank with three times three plaudits of the mo,satarty description.

On arriving at the premium fur fat cows, Sir Jolt sr observed, that considerable discussion • had arisen on the proper man ner of interpreting the printed conditions issued last year by the Club relative hereto,. which were found to be not quite consistent, in the different parts of the same bill; and it was referred to an adjourned Meeting of the Club, to be held this forenoon nt the Tavern, to decide whether Mr. .1. Wetherell or Mr. H. ',lnnen is to receive the lit guineas...4°r next year the Club had provided, that all .ambiguity in this class should be removed. • . After remarking on the great obligation which the Club lays under to those Oentlemen (generally not Members of the Club) who will take upon them, when requested, the very onerous duties of awarding their premiums, Sir Jou w gave the health* of " Messrs.

SIIOCKING CASE OF STARVATION: , --UO 111011(lay last an Inquest Wl* held before. Mr. Baoox, the Coroner, on the body of Peter Fieldhouse, poor man, who lately oc ' copied a Anserable cottage on East Moor, near Wak4icid, but who belonged to the township of Oulton.- There appear ing to . have been great negligence on the part of the overseer of the' township to which he belonged, the Inquest wos ad journed to the following day, to give an opportunity for; more complete in'vestigatinn of the business. It them appeared that the poor man, who was a widower, with three small childreo, had been ill and unable to do any work fur five or six weeks. .During this time the overseer, as he himself &prised,' had called upon him about a month before his death, and given him five shillings, and the next day sent the town apothecary to him, who also left him five shillings more. F r om thi s t i me he bad no further relief from him till the Friday before his death, when he again sent him five shillings. On the previous Tues day, at the instigation of a gentleman by whom the poor marl had been relieved, Air. Dunn, the apothecary to the Wakefield Dispensary, visited him. This flentlemAn stated to the Coro ner and his Jury, that he found the deceased very ill,. in a I most miserable: and .filthy situation ' laid. on something which ; could not with any propriety be called a bed, and without any covering but a dirty sack. Be saw him, too, on the Wednesday and Friday - following, and administered to him such meditlines as he,thought his case required, giving him also money which he received for his relief. The poor man, in the course of his conversation with him, said he had been so ill treated by the overseer, that he would starve before, he would apply to hint again. This gentleman expressed his belief, that if proper atten tion had been paid to the poor man by the overseer, sad proper relief afforded hlm, he would have been alive then (at std time of the Inquest). The wretchedness of the poor man'a situation, and the ,neglect .he had experienced, wereconfirmed by the lei:Moony of some of his neighbours. Thp Jury, after a short deliberation, gave the following verdict That th e d ece i med came to his death in his cottage at East•moor, from the wilf u l neglect of the overseers of the poor of Oulton ; and the said jurors father find and declare a deodand of N. to be Paid by Mr. William Parrer, the overseer of Oulton, to th e L r d of the manor of Virakefield, but recommeded by the Jury to be 4 ven up to the Wakefield Dispensary." The poor Taiwan.. years of age, and his dead body exhibited a singularapeci. men of misery, being almost literally nothing but, skin , sod bone.—( Wakefield Paper.) it . few evenings since, a lire balloon wits let °lr . , at St. Stephen's , near Canterbury, by som e young rum "" alighted on a hay-stuck belonging to Mr. Henry C olll4 ,rds Ol Gore-street, a few miles from -- hence, and ignited the t hatch, The damage done was very considerable.
