A portrait of PlTRAltcu's Laura, by Smog

Howie, on Wednesday last. The catalogue in
speaking of it says, ‘, by the inscription at the back
it appears that this beautiful picture was painted
by Maissit for his friend PiMARCY, who mentions
it in his 88th Ode, and again in the 89th. After
the death of PrvitaacH it was taken to Arguer;
and in 1374, the Florentine Republic sent it to
BOCCACCIO. who also notices it in his Epititles.
After the death of BOECACCIO. it passed into the

SHOOTIIIO.—The dry weather has begin unfa-
vourable to partridge shooting : the birds are said
to be numerous, but remarkThly shy; add to which,
there is no st ent. The inexperienced shot has there-
fore come off short. The number of certificates
taken out is said to be considerably less than last
year.

There is at Chilgrove, near Chichester, a covey of
partridges, and • Guinea fowl naturalised with them.
It is presumed that a Games hen must have depo-

Dr. ARCHER, ■n American physician, announces
that the heaping coegh is cured by vaccinating the
patient on the second or third week after the com-
mencement of the disease. This is a singular dis-
covery, and if the result be doubted, the experi-
ment is at least harmless.
