heavy ; consequently, our quotations are lower. In a very

GUN ACCIDENT.—On Friday afternoon last, Mr.
Rose, son of Sir George Rose, one of the Master. in Chan-
cery, was necidentally shot at by his friend, Win. Brougham,
another of the Masters in Chancery. Mr. Ikise was
on a visit to Lord and Lady brougham, and his lordship's
brother, Writ. Brougham, at 13rougham-hall, in West-
morelatl, and on that day, Mr. Itnse and Mr. %V. Brougham
were out shooting rabbits in WhinlCll-park. A rabbit
started from its burrow, when Mr. Brmighain immediately
fired his piece, notsceing his friend, who received a quantity
of the shot, about Su pellets, in the higher parts of his thigha
and the lower part of the abdomen. A conveyance was
sent for, iu which Mr. R. vrt.s taken to Brougham Hall,
where three medical men from Peurfth attended, and
extracted a great number of *hot. 'Although Mr.
appeared to suffer great pain, and lost a quiut:ity of blood,
yet it is supposed the injury which ho has sustained is not
of such a nature as to cause alarm as to his ultimate re-
covery. Mr. It. still remain. at Brougham Hall, and up to
this afternoon (Sunday) is doing well.
ST. GliAa's.—Perhaps few are aware that tho
miserable state of the greater part of St. Giles's is prin-
cipally attributable to the will of a Sir Thome, Dyot, who
died in the reign of Charles li., devising the property which
formed what used to be called 1/rot-street and several other
streets of the same class, upon the express condition that it
should be appropriated entirely to the aame.style of building
and the same description of inhabitants which so long kept
undisputed possesaion of it. Until the passing of the Thel-
luson Act nothing was easier than to tic up and control the
management of sn estate fora century to eerie ; and even
as the law nowstands it is perfectly competent for the Dubs
of Bedford, the Marquis of %Vestminster, and Lord Port-
man, to impede or accelerate the population and improve-
ment of the metropolis for 70 or 80 years after their respec-
tive deaths. Tho only linatatimt On a devise or settlement
not extending beyond the period fixed by that act is that
the condition annexed to the gift shall not have an immoral
or illegal tendency, nor he contrary to public policy, nor be
physically impossible.—Observer.
A VISIT TO TIIE DEAD. SY.X.—At the annual
meeting of the Academy of Belles Lettres, held on Satur-
day, M. de Saulcy read an aecOulit of an expediton to tho
Dead Sea, accomplished by him iu the early part of this
year. M. de Saulcy had a preconceived idea that travel-
ling in those regions, reported to be so desolate and deadly,
could not in fact be more Wangeroits or difficult than in
other parts of Arabia Penned. Phis opinion seems to have
been completely confirmed. The first thing that struck
M. de Sauley'e travelling patty, on reaching the dreaded
shore, was a luxurious vegetation. A forest of reeds 20
feet high was thickly populated with birds who skimmed
along, and even swam upon the lake. They also found
some dead fish on the banks, which led them for a moment
to suppose that the common opinion, that there was no fish
in the Dead Sea, was erroneous. It ie' however,quite trait
that no fish can exist in the water, and those found by the
travellers must have been washed down by some or the
rivers, and have died the instant they touched the salt, bit-
ter lake. The deadly emanations • commonly believed to
exhale from the lake, M. de Saulcy completely contradicts.
• lie found the air delicious. He speaks of numerous irate-
resting ruins, and among them, as he confidently thinks, he
WAS able to identify the sites of Sodom and Gomorrah.
