An old ge tad 4 tger that had bee used a long time at a retired post of arnae s stationed n in the forest, becoming .almost worn out ea the service, was tethered in a fertile spot, with the hope that re store and the freshness of the grass might in some degree re -14,,re his exhausted strength. A. thief, pursued by the police, t in u t og in with the old campaigner, mounted his back, and Pe't by his means to effect his escape. All the exertions, th:ever, the fugitive could make were not sufficient to induce tLe animal to take the desired road, who galloped away through ,u forest till lie arrived at his old quarters, and deposited his l' i r e t r h e in Love hands of his masters the gendarmes, wiko de ed him rto justice.--French Paper. . . Mr. W A RBURTON said that, in balancing the merits of the two hon. gentlemen who had been proposed, he considered that the hon. member for Staffordshire (Mr. Littleton), being more vigorous in health (laughter), would be more competent to fill the duties of the office. It; however, the right hon. gentleman was re-elected, it Would be his (Mr. W.'s) duty to bring forward a motion for rescinding the pension granted, to the right him. gentleman. Mr. C. M. SUTTON then addressed the house, thanking them for the honor done him in entertaining the proposition of his filling the office of Speaker. He assured them that his political .opinions never had, during the 16 years that he had held the office, nor ever should, in the event of his being again replaced in it, interfere with his discharge of his duties as Speaker. (Great cheering.) Mr. METHUEN wished it to be clearly understood, before the .house went to a vote, whether the right hon. gentleman, if re-elected, would be entitled to receive the retiring pension of £4OOO a year, as well as the salary of £6OOO. ' Mr. C. M. SUTTON said he believed it to be impossible that an individual occupying the chair could be entitled to a single shilling voted as a retiring pension. (Hear, hear.) That he believed to have been the intention of the legislature when it passed the act of last session; and whatever might be the legal construction of the act, it was his firm determination not to receive a farthing of the pension whilst he had the honor to fill the chair. (Good cheering, and cries of " question.") Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the house divided, when the numbers were For Air. Manners Sutton, 241 Mr. Littleton, Majority, .... 210 A discussion afterwards ensued on the question, whether, under the act of last Parliament, the right hon. gentleman was entitled to receive both his retiring pension and his official sa lary as Speaker, Mr. O'CONNELL and HUME maintaining that he was, while Lord ALTHORP, the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, and the SOLIC THE ETTE sex SHEPHERD.—On Friday upwards of sixty gen tlemen gave an elegant dinner, in the National Hotel, Regis ter-street, to the Ettrick Shepherd, in celebration os his birth day—J. W. Ord, Esq. in the chair; M. S. Milton, E sq. a young English student officiated as croupier. The health of the Shepherd was proposed in eloquent terms by the Chairman. Mr. Hogg, in returning thanks gave an interesting account, with hisusual naivette, of his early days. It had been said that he was notborn on that day (the 2Mh) but he had the word of his mother and the writing in his father's bible to support him in the belief that he was in reality born on the same day that gave birth to Burns. The health of Mr Moore, Mr. Wordsworth, Mr. Campbell, and a variety of other toasts, connected with li terature and the arts, were drank with all the honours. Mr. Hogg and other g_entlemen present enlivened the meeting with various excellent bcottishsongs, and the evening was spent with great pleasure and conviviality.—Edinburgh Advertiser. SINGULAR WAGER.—A bet was made on the 9th instant, for two so vereigns, between Mr. Margarson , of Weasenham Up house, and Mr. D. Cooke, of Great Massingham, Norfolk, that Mr. Margarson would find one woman out of two who should pull, top, and tail 12 loads of turnips in one day. The task was accomplished on the 16th instant 133 r the two women in less than the time appointed, both leaving the tield before dark, one pulling 14 loads and the other 131, one tumbril holding 39 bushels, and the other 381 Mr. Margarson gave the winnings to the women.—County Chronicle. TRADE OF LivunPoot..—We are gratified in being able to announce that the custom's duties received at this port during the last year have amounted nearly to the sum of £4,000,000, being an excess over the year preceding of £325,000 ; and when we state that this increase in the local reveuue exceeds the im provement noted in the same branch of the national revenue, the fact furnishes a charming proof of the prosperity of the town. The increase upon the entire receipts of the country was only £223,167. FIRE Poucs.—lt has long been a matter of regret, that no establishment should have been formed in Liverpool, for the prevention and better extinction of fires. This is a subject in which all the inhabitants are interested. The matter has been frequently discussed, and in the year 1828, when it was expected a fire-police would have been established, the Commissioners of the Watch procured a clause to be inserted in a local act, em powering them to lay a rate of one-halfpenny in the pound for its support, but after several meetings the object was abandoned, in consequence of the fire-office companies having declined to contribute any thing towards the expense of the establishment. The late destructive fire in Lancelet's-hey has again brought the subject under discussion. A meeting has been held of de putations from the Commissioners of the Watch and the Fire office agents, and we are glad to learn that a cordial co-opera tion may now be expected from all the parties interested. in the question, and we have no doubt the result will be the estathisii ment of an effective fire-police.
