THE PREcEDENCE OF EDINIIIIReiII OVER DUBLIN.
—The oorreapondeoce between Sir George Grey and the
various parties concerned in the decision of this question was
published yesterday morning. The report
Lor of
d. Sir B
erman!
Barka, the Ulster King at Anus, to the
eta of the Lord
of Ireland, together with the correspond
Provost of Ediohurgb, has been forwarded to Sir ..lharlat
Young, Garter King at Arms, for his remarks. There are
given as the last document produced in the
be mod
cam. and the
opinion of the Garter Krug at Arms appears to
decidedly in favour of Edinburgh.
WINDERMERE AND THE LAKE DIsTRItT.—The
weather for the last few days ban been everything which
either the farmer or tourist could desire. The hay. harvest
has begun in earnest ; a mowing coaching belonging to R.
H. Fell, Esq.. of Troutbeck.bridge, has
Win been
der for Gra last
day or two at work at Birket Houses, , and we
believe there is en abundant crop. There is now a great
increase of pleasure seekers in the Lake district, as we be-
lieve all the loclgieg-houses are nearly full, and we hope in
the course of an,ther week to any the same of the bolas,
and that for the neat three mouths there may be a lively
stir in the Lake district.— treason/and Oozel'e.
THE ADVENTURES Or AN EAGLE IN SEARCH osp
E'REV.—A few daye ago, while several dogs aud . lot of
ravens were enjoying a feast on the caress oft horse at
Breehour, they were suddenly disturbed by oneenee
of a fine large eagle, at whose appearance the doge ran off
and the ravens dew away, one of the latter carryiog off •
portion of the entrails, part being swallowed. The
raven being unable either to separate or disgorge her
booty, she had to fly away with about half a yard
dangling from ber mouth. The observing

and in draggiog both it and the raven to the ground, as
reaching which he struck and killed the raven, and soon af tee
made a meal of it and the carrion, returning towards the
carcase. lu the meentime, however, two of the dogs had
returned, rod possession being nine no inta of the law, they
growled defiance at the invader, and prepared to defend
their rights. The eagle, bent on obtaining mem-
don, for a short time hovered near the spot, and
suddenly descending gave the dogs two blows with its wings
and expelled them. It fed for a short time, and then
flew off with a large piece of cameo, which it deporited on
a distant eminence, thereafter descending into the neighbour-
leg loch. and enjoying a bathe with evident reliofshthe day.

however, did Dot finish the eagle's adventures
After slowly rising out of the loch, it descended upon a
flock of sheep and lambs, and carried off in its talons a
