A MONSTIIIt SHIP. -- We were informed yesterday
by a gentleman well known on 'Change, that it is in con-
templation by one of the most eminent and enterprising of
our Liverpool merchants, to build an iron screw steam-
ship of ten thousand tons burthen for the American trade.
The abailiary power is intended to be only of • moderate
character, and constructed chiefly with • view to over-
c ming the resistance in getting op the Mississippi. It
was confidently stated that the head of one of the most
eminent firms In the iron trade has signified his assent to
the undertaking.—Liverpool Chronicle.
A MAD DONYEY.—About two months ago, an GIB
belonging to Mr. Worn, of Oedney. Lincolnshire, was bit-
ten by a mad dog. On Monday it became very restless,
and throughout the night was an boisterous that the owner,
teeing convinced it was attacked with hydrophobia, hadithe
animal destroyed. A pony was in the same 'table with the
ass, and being bitten by it during the night, was also
kilted.—Cambridge Chronicle.
TnE MILITIA IN Divos.—lt does not appeal
likely that the efforts of the Lord Lieutenant of the county
of Devon, the Earl of Fortescoe, and his deputy-lieute-
nants in respect to promoting enlistments in the militia,
are likely to be productive of any practical results. In
several parishes in the neighbourhood of Plyanomh not •
single man can be got to entertain the notion of enlistment.
The guardians of the poor of the parishes in the Plysoptem
fit. Mary Union have engaged to have displayed the
cards relating to the enli tment in their 'trete' parish—but
so fall are all the young meo'a ban Is of employment of one
sort end another, that A is hardly to be espected any of
them will put down their tools to take up the sword and
musket.
LODGING-nousEs.—The Carlisle Journal pub.
lialtee the following retorts, which it says, " may well
slogger" their readers Total number of pencee who
have slept in common lodging-houses under the Board of
Health, from 23rd of November, 1801, to 21st of Await,
18.52:—First quarter, 10,1449; serood quarter, 11,709;
third quarter, 12,463. Total, 15,021. From the above it
appears that within nine months of the year • number
of vagrants upwards of eight thousand more than the
whole population of Carlisle, passed through this city.
What • mass of crime and 'idiom do such figures indicate !"
Titl PEEss IN SWITZLRLAND.—The Bale Gazette
gives the following soroont of the periodical press in Pelt-
aerland :—.• There were in 18.51, 184 journals. In 1850
there were 202, but the number of subscribers woe greater
