-1 mend were to spring up must improve.

EXTRAORDINARY

.—Yesterday after-

soon a circumstance of a singular character, and Which ex-
cited a goad deal of attention, occurred at Bristol. It ap-
pears that Mr. Tucker, a butcher, of that city, bad
purchued two heifers, which he intrusted to a drover to
convey to his slaughter-house. On 'heir way they had to
pass through Clue-street, when suddenly one of them
dashed at the shop of Messrs. King and Coombs, opticians.
The shop door was closed, but the private entrance being
opened, the animal made for that, and, in spite of the rxer-
tors of the drover, deliberately made its way up the stair-
case. It then entered a room belonging to Mr. Hammond,
solicitor, where its strange and sudden appearance so
' frightened a lad that he jumped out of the window. The
drover, who went up stairs after the heifer, than entered
the tom, but the infuriated hi est made such an attack
upon him that he was obliged speedily to retr. At. As it was
tound impossible to dislodge the animal, it was ihrermined
at length to kill it in the room, to effect which a person
named Madden volunteered his services. !laving leafed a
gun, he waited till the beast presented a full front to him,
when he tired, the bullet penetrating the skull exactly he-
tween the horns, and the heifer fell dead immediately.
Buckets were then procured, sod its throat cut, after which
the carcase was lowered by dings into the street.
TUE MACAOLECI I AND SAIMIOPIIAGUS AT HAMILTON
PALACE.—In the chapel of the mausoleum at the palace of
the Dukes of Hamilton, near Glasgow, the Temples of the
founder of this somewhat remarkable edifice were lately
deposited. The body was enshrined in an ancient Egyptian
sarcophagus, which may yet gem to confound some remotely
future archeologists in their attempt to fathom the origin
of the mausoleum and its incongruous and second-hand con-
tents. No expense appears to have been spared in raising
the otato..leuin itself, and although doubtless the sarco-
phagus was a costly article, we should have ereferred seeing
the money expended on a more original production—one of
the present age, and a worthy specimen of British skill
(stone coffins are ettictly British no less than Egyptian),
much rather than to have had the body of one of our
highest nobles resting in a coffin designed for, and declaring
the body to he that of another person, of another age and
country altogether, and, in tact, a female Egyptian !
The

MR ALBEIT SMITH.—A gentleman has just elf-
rived in London who a few days since chock hands with
Mr. Albert Smith and his brother at Chatnouni, when they
were in the best of health; although Mr. Albert Smith was
chagrined at the loss of his pocket book d money, which
had, unawares, slipped out of his pocket while proceeding
in the steamer from Chalons to Lyons, atm had enured him
some inconvenience for want of ca.h. The pocket-book and
money h►ve since been reee:vid in London by Messrs.
Contts, tMe bankers of Mr. Albert Smith.
