Lord Lynedoch has returned for the first time from the
field " without showing game." While his Lordship was
lately proceeding, in an open carriage, to Inchgrundle, one
of Mr. Maule's choice pieces of ground for grouse shooting,
in clambering up the dark hill side," the carriage was
considerably drenched with rain ; and, contrary to the
advice of his friend, General Mackenzie, Lord Lynedoch
slept all the following night in a tent, pitched on the heath
ala mililaire, with his " martial cloak around him." In
the evening he felt himself quite unfit for action, and was
obliged to return without a shot. An idle rumour has
gone abroad that •his •Lordship met with an accident
on a temporary bridge :. ibis was not the case.-3folitrose
Review.

GRE IS FRIGATE.—PVC learn that an agent for the
Greek Government is superintending the erection of a fri-
gate now building at this port. - The Rochester Repnbli•
run of the leth inst. says, " In the town of Henrietta, a
few miles south of this village, they are getting out timber
for the beams of the deck of the frigate about to be built
at New York for the Greeks. Some trees for this purpose
fetch ten dollars, and we arc informed that the timber will
cost about a dollar per foot by the time it gets to New
• York.- —New York Paper.
The only theatrical representation which Oliver Croni-
well allowed to be performed was a sort of operatic piece,
called The Crucltn of the Spani.irds in Peru, and stated in
the title-page to be " represerted daily at the Cockpit in
Drury-lane, at three in the afternoon punctually." The
reason arigned for Cromwell's exclusive permission for
this piece was, its strongly reflecting on the Spaniards,
against whoul he was supposed at the time to have formed
considerable designs.
Building speculations have become quite a mailness'in,
France. We cite one example to give an idea of the extent
to which it is carried. A few years Since the ground in the
Plaine de Sablonc, fronting the Bois du Boulogne, wag.
sold for three thousand pounds sterling. It has been di-
vided this year into building. lots, and paid the proprietor
three hundred and twenty thousand pounds sterling.
'fits NYE:Arum—A Ballston paper gives, as a striking
effect of the heat, the melting of the honey in the bee-hives,
mod the drowning of the bees ; and a Philadelphia paper
states, that the swallows in the ship houses, at the Navy
Yard were falling dead among the workmen below. A re-
spectable gentleman of New York purchased a basket of
eggs in market which were placed in one of his pantries;
during the hotteit part of the fallowing day, one of the
eggs nearest the top opened, and a chicken hopped out.
—Boston Paper.
Much as the extreme heat of the weather has been felt
in this country, it has been much more fatal in the United
States. It appears, from the papers last received, that the
number of deaths in one week from that came, in Phila-
delphia, was 180, of whom 90 were adults. At New
' York it hail been, within the same period, 181. Even the
Swallows dropped down dead hi the former place. The
thermometer, for nearly two months, had not fallen lower
than 95, and was generally at 100 throughout. all the
,states of the Union. On the 23d of July it stood at 93
degrees in a current of air in the shade. In other parts
Of the country it was still higher. On the IGth, at
Philadelphia, it is quoted at 133 degrees in the sun. "No
wonder, therefore, the Hartford Mirror says--" nobody
talks of any thing but the weather: how stands the ther-•
-.neter?' , The crops are said to suffer cogsideribly from
••se heat.
