A DISAPPOIXTMIST.—On Tuesday evening last
Use members of parliament for South Hants, the Hon. C.
Dalton and Sir C. larval's, attended the anniversary meeting
of the Southampton Athenseem and delivered speeches
of general interest. The mestag, however, was more
remarkable for its minima then anything else. A.
vast crowd of people bad sismatiled in the anticipation
of hearing Lord Falimerstcm, who had promised to
attend, but at the lest moment the coaductom rect ye t
a letter of apology from the noble lord, the reeding of wi iok
seemed considerably to disturb the equanimity of the wee, -
fag, and which was by no mesas restored when Lord Palmer.
stmes letter was followed by similar oommunicatione from
Judge Eslibureon end other celebrities. A number of re-
porters were present to take notes of Lord Palmerston'm
speech, but his lordship gay* them all the slip, and has
rseervedlhis ,t points of interest " for a more important meet-
ing el Westland/a DOS VIOL
Siwonto Moves.—Considerable talk has ex-
isted in Kidderminster, within the last few days, about the
• singing 13101.194 caught by Mr. Walling'', boot and shoe-
maker, in his holm in Mill-street. Severs] nights previous
to its capture Mr. Welling* was surprised by hearing
mueicil performances in his bedroom, sometimes like
the notes of a nightingale, at other times as though pro-
ereding from a thrush. • trap wee set, and almost imme-
diately the musical gentleman was caught. It is a very
small moues, bat not exactly the general share and nolo tr
of the house mouse; the hair is shorter and lighter, ins
head longer in proportion to the body, and more taper-
ing; the tail is much longer, acrd, together with the legs,
quite bare. This curiosity sees at ono, sold to the landlord
of the Alas lan, where the little creature continues almost
inoesseutly its musical performances. It will rhange its
notes to several varieties of our singing-birds, which it imi.
• term exactly, with the exception of not being so loud. It is
safEedently distinct, however, to be beard across • good-
stead room. The mouse does not seem to inherit the prover-
bial timidity of its species, not being alarmed at noise, and on
the angers being placed to the bare of the cage it will often
come forward and bite. Another mows of a similar descrip-
tion was caught soon after by the same person, but differing
in its musical feats.— Ifrarosatsr Chronicle.

ADVENTORIIB OF A COMMERCIAL.—Ao accident
occurred at Lockebrook, under rather singular circum-
stances, an Friday night lest. A commercial traveller
was approaching Bath in • four-wheel drawn by a spizitel
horse, from the directio of Bristol, and when near the

fosr-wheel, and somewhat damaged it. The commercial
alighted to ascertain the name on the cart, and the oountry-
tryst's got down to see the extent of the damage be had
emulated, but being uuable to preserve hi. equilibrium
he fell against the horse In the four-wheel, which tio
frightened the animal that it immediately started off.
The commercial started in pursait, but the night being
dark, the home was soon out of eight. On arriving at the
cosuty poker-station, Lockshrook, the commercial made
known his dilemma to Mr. Superintendent Morgan, who
lent him all the penitence in his power to recover his lost
horse. From inquiries, it appeared that the horse started
through the Cross- poat-turnpike up Newbrldge-hill, thence
through Weston, Keaton and Bitten gates, until it waived
at Wetlbridge-gate. when; it ran against the wall, antaehing
the vehicle to please, and fell injured and exhausted to the
ground, where it was afterwards dip:meted. Who the ine-
