He foamed at the mbuth sufficiently to wet many cloths, and would frequently exclaim—" 0, Father! is that from the dog?" He was copiously bled, but withoua any good effect. He retained his senses . until within a few:hours of his death, when the effects:of this disorder were extremely violent, bUP the parox ysms abated about -an hour befortl he expired. The melancholyevent is a great affliction to his parents. - Another person was bitten in the wrist by the sane dot ; but, as the wound was' slight, and the part immediately cut out, it is thougbvit will not be attended by any bad cfm,equenees.

This erection will have twenty-four angles, i n ste a d oreight. Every alternate angle is-to have a window i to act upon sympathetic hinges, and thus they will be ,used in a double capacity, either as doors or windows. — This will be a very magnificent pile, partaking completely of the Oriental style, and forming a rare combination after the Chinese, Hindostan, and/Persian style of - building and decoration. It resemble, in the - roof, a cone, rising to a towering beiglit, above the summit of the lofty. . trees, perhaps from 60 to 80 feet ; the diameter will be 130 feet. Jr is to be a supper-room, and • not a ball-room. The arrangeThents in. the inte rior will be most admirable ; the novelty viii both surprise and instruct the fashionable world : the tables are to diverge from a central space, and to contain 624 seats'. It is proposed (and from a cal culation made, can, no doubt, he carried into ef fect) to erect 20 principal tables,' each of which to be 50 feet long ; an open space, or promenade about seven feet wide, a ill he introduced ; the latter will be formed by the tables on one side, and the ekteriorcircumterence of the buiJding on the other. Circular tables are to intervene between the great ones, for the accowinodation of that proportion of the company- nut able to procure' seats at the large tables. In the central space, there will he placed n magnificent pedestal, appro.-. priated to the purposes of a sideboard, which-will glitter with an abundance of valuable plate.

DUNDAS'S DIVORCE BILL. In the Pundas Divorce Bill, tTie.LORD CHAN. CELLOR stated, that it had usually Been the- prac tice of their Lordship! to require,- as a ground for their procedure, a previous (tierce. a meas 7 et thoro, of the Ecclesiastical Court. In the prei, cu t case they had this safeguard hat a Petition had been presented to their Lordships by Airs. Dun das, stating, that she Iliad appealed from the sen tence of the Ecclesiastical Court, which she was certainly entitled to do, and praying, that till the determination of that appeal the second reading of this Bill should not take place. The decree of , th e Eccle s i as ti ca l Court was retpiired rather front the practice and hleiits of the House than front any standing orders. There were witnesses in this case, who before the decision on the Appeal might no longer he in- existence. If the Appeal, therefore, should turn out unfounded, the party suing for the Bill might-receive an irreparable in just ; for if the witnesses were dead before the decision on the Appeal, it would be impossible for him to get any relief. No injustice 'could he ( done if they were- to hear the evidence in support of the Bill, and afterwards consider how much further it might he prpper - for them to prock ed. , Earl STANHOPE observed, that there were no" ;ewer than four Ecclesiastical Courts ; so thdt by appealing from one t6'anot.her, it \‘'ould most impossible, when delity'was intended, .eyer, to get a Divorce Bill, were they to de i hiy ;t after the decision on such Appea!s.
