THEATRICALS IN SCOTLAND.—The Aberdeen Herald
says :—" The visit here of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean,
whose third performance was given on Friday evening,
has been a complete success—complete alike in regard
to the enthusiastic reception these eminent performers
have received,
and the marked appreciationintnefllitgheenitr
efforts by the large, fashionable, and
audiences who have nightly been drawn to Marischal-
street."

THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—The Zoological Society
have just received an important addition to their mena-
gerie, in the shape of a tine living specimen of the
Gigantic Salamander of Japan,- AR- largest knoivn
species of amphibian. This singular creature, which
-somewhat resembles a monstrous water newt, .inhabits
the lakes of the basaltic. mountains .of Japan, where
:it was discovered by the Dutch naturalist Dr. von
Siebold, but even there is -considered a scarce animal.
It is famous as being the nearest living analogue of
the Fossil man or Homo
~dilur!i testis of Scheuchzer
(Andrias Selrenchzeei of • geologists). The society's
specimen is at present about three feet in length, 'and is
the first of the sort whichi has been brought alive to
this country.—Tim". s: •
Tir,p R.r.suu or A YOKE (?).—There is now in a
female lunatic asylum at Hammersmith, a lady of exqui-
site beauty, who was driven mad by being suddenly
startled by her maid. The lady's name is H----, and
she resided with her husband, Mr. 11— a wealthy
sharebroker, at a splendid mansion in Cavendish Square.
One evening about six weeks ago, she strolled in the
dusk into her husband's library, to procure a book. The
lady's maid saw her enter the apartment, and in mere'.
frolic concealed herself behind the curtains belonging. to
the window, until her mistress had placed Iler band
upon the work she came in search of; when -she sud-
denly sprang upon her with a loud shout:- The lady
was so astounded by the shock, that she -Was struct
almost senseless. Delirium ensued ; confirmed madness
followed, which has ever since continued without abate-
ment, to a degree dangerous to all who come near her.
Ifer propensities are tierce and vicious : she tries to bite
at all who approach her, audit is more than probable
she will never recover her reason.—Court-
