AN GLITZ BRANCH FROM THE SEAT or WAR.—
We bare seen in the possession of %clergyman of this city a
little sprig of olive, which his brother—a captain in the Ar-
tillery—plucked in a garden in front of one of the best
houses (or its remains) la the best street in Sebastopol, and
which he enclosed iu a letter to hie relative. It still pre-
serves mash of its verdure. He says, from the appearance
of whet is left, Sebastopol must have bean a much statelier,
more luxurious, and magnificent city than many of which
we heard much more.—Bristol Mercury.
A MOTHER IN DISTEEES.—The Cambridge Irak •
pendent says:—One of the most painful instances of pa-
rental affection transpired at the railway station a few days
ago. It appears that a rerpectably-attired woman (whom.
name we decline to mention) arrived by the morning down
train, having under her cue two infants (twine). She
slighted at the station (leaving the infants in the carriage)
for the purpose of obtaining a ticket to convey her and her
children to Six-Mile-Bottom. While waiting to secure her
tickets, the train in which the infants were sitting 'wised
on, and before the anxious mother could give the alarm and
make the matter known to the authorities, the train was off
to Ely, whither the happy babes were conveyed. The feel-
ings of the mother at thisjaacture can be better imagined
than described. Her elistres•es, however, were a little
relieved by the railway authorities informing her that that
wonderful piece of mechanism, the telegraph, should be set
in motion, and the intelligent* was by this means de-
spatched to Ely before the train arrived, and he little tra-
vellers were brought safely bet k again to Cambridge, and
delivered into the arms of the aomous parent, who lost no
time in taking them to their destination.
JUST IN TIME FOR A GRAND SIGHT.—About viz
weeks ago, George G d, Esq., of bneed-park, Bris-
tol, left with a friend for a couple of months' sum-
mer tour, and knowing of no more interesting spot to
visit than the great theatre of war, they started, via Mar-
seilles, for Constantinople, and thence proceeded by ship to
Balaklave, just es the last great bombardment commenced:
they at once hastened on, and witnessed, Brit, the awfully
grand spectacle of the fire upon the city, with its terrifis
glories, and then the assault, with all its sanguinary horrors.
Mr. 0 d and his friend beheld the assault from that
poiat which best commanded the French attack on the
Malakhoff, and afterwards had an interior view of the cap-
tured city. The lucky tourists were of course obliged to
take up their abode in tents, but, beyond an attack of
rheumatism, paid no greater pe •alty for the sublime spec-
tacle at which they were present. Another gentleman
from Bristol, Thomas Cornish, 8.A., solicitor, was also in
the Crimea at the time, and was equally fortunate with his
an fellow Bristolis in aring the view.

4,Foa A RAINY DAY."—The Yorkshireman says,
on Sato:day last, a women living in one of the numsrous
yards of York, being engagid in some slavish occupation,
observed to one of her neighbours that she had no one to
'give her a .male o' mate" (meal of meat). She was taken
ill and died oa Thursday last, on her death-bed directing
bar limbas..d to two parcels hid in the roof of the house, is
which he found 641.

-----
A NIGHT bPENT AMONG THE ROCKS ON FLESWICK
BRACK.—A few days age, a party of ladies ens puttee:Des
from St. Boas paid a visit to the lighthouse, near Fleswick.
A portion of the party returned to St. Bees by the road,
sad arrived safely at home about half-pact six o'clotk in
the evening. The other portion of the party, consisting of
three ladies and two gentlemen, were not so fortune e ; they
undertook to return home by the rocks, when they were
overtaken by darkness, and were unable to make
their way. At length one of the gentlemen (1 he Rev. C. W.
Woodhouse, Tneological Lect-rer at St. Bees College),
managed to make his way from amongst the rocks, and re-
turned home, where be mode known the tallow position in
which he had left his companion', and dark as the night
was, servants were sent off under the guidance of Mr. Wood-
how. (who returned and spent the bight with his friends)
with cloaks, coats, and refreshments for the eight. With
difficulty these comforts were conveyed to the party, who
were aempelled to pass the night in this dreary and uncom-
fortable position; but they all d giddy at home soon
after daylight on the following morning, not a whit the
worse for their perilous adventure. The tides were at that
time fortunately low, otherwise the adventurous party
meat ieevitsbly have been all inst.—ewritenriond Packet.
MARRIAGE EXTRAORDINARY.—EarIy io the week,
a young urea of very gentlemenly eppearanoe, attired in the
first style of fashion, wearing a diamond riot on his fiair.r,
with a gold watch sod appendage', presented himself at
one of our city hotels, and aft. r making a few off hand
inquiries respecting the far fam. d Groins Green, signified
his intention of making a drive over, and accordingly
ordered a gig to convey him thither, which was readily
procured for him, and off he started for the Green. But, on
nearing the Scottish border, he began to make inquiries for
its whereabouts, and at Florriaton toll-bar he stopped a
a few minutes for that purpose,snd biter briefly isterrogatiog
the toll keeper as to its precise poaition be was jocularly re-
minded that he had not got a lady with him. The idea
that there was certainly a want at once struck him, but to
amend this on the instant be was at a loas. Resent, the
worthy toll keeper, fancying she saw his dilemma, volun-
teered to furnish him with a lady, at and once introduced a
blooming fair one who readily consented to accompany him
to the Green. They therefore soon reached Gretna, and
after getting married took a drive out, bat soon returned
sad lodged there for the night. Nest mornieg titer break-
fast+, he received from her half a crows, which he requested
her to lend him, saying that " it matters not which of us
keeps the money now," and ale t the diamond ring which he
bad placed on her finger at the time of their marriage,

He, however, pretsoding to wit a letter, decamped without
Cer s loeu,
paying the priest for his trouble, or the landlord for his
bountiful hospitality.—Carlisle Patriot.
THE SPUN.) CAMMON.—Preparations for the
spring campsite are now to active prow. as The Govern-
ment is shout to build a large number of gun boats; to
are expected to render important service. Messrs. Charles
draw very little water, with an enormous armament. They
Hill god Sass, of Bristol, have received orders from the
Admira:ty to build three, elk to be finished early next year.
A young officer, George Lawrence, Esq., of Mon-
mouth, who volunteered for the Crimea from the Monmouth-
shire MON', has Put written home, and from his letter it
appears that he was in the disastrous assault on the Itedan,
where he was covered with glory, but barely escaped being
a victim to the murderous B.e of the Russians. Hi. sword
was shot out of his band, his tunic was perforated Sy wavy
bullets, sad his epaulette torn tff by a shot. H. is ex-
pected to return to England with his shattered regiment—
the dashing Welsh Fusiliers.
