Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Hull, dated
September 16 :
" This morning a letter has been received from Capt. Bitching-
man, of the Cato, of this port, dated South Day, July 3, from
which we have extracted as follows :
" • The Cato Is clean ; we have received some trifling damage
to our foreground by striking upon Fortune Rock, in South Flat
Bay. which is now re9uired, and we are warping out, intending
to proceed to the NA% . The Estridge, of Dundee, is lota—crew
caved.' fhe ships belonging to this port (29 sail) had then only
22 fish ; several of the ships were stove, but only one of those he.
longing to this port. No list has been sent. 15 e fear the fishing
will not be succeesail.'

FRENCH Navy.—Since the return of the Bourbons in
1814, six Vice-Admirals, twenty-five Rear-Admirals, eighty
Captains of men of war, and eighty-five Captains of fri-
gates, have been appointed. There are in active service
260 Lieutenants, and 400 Ensigns of vessels created
since that time. There are not more than thirty of the
old creations.

On Wednesday next, being St. Matthew's clay, according
to annual custom, the Lord Mayor. Aldermen, Sheriff's and
Governors of the several Royal Hospitals, will attend di-
vine service at Christ Church. After a sermon by the Rev.
William Trollope, A.M. thPy will repair to the Great Hall,
in Christ's Hospital, where two Orations will be delivered;
in Latin, by D. H Leighton ; in English by T. Browne,
the two senior scholars of the Graminar School.
HACKNEY COACHFS.-.—We observe that it is proposed
to oblige hackney coach proprietors to have their names
end residences paiated on the panels. This is an excellent
regulation, and has long been adopted at Bristol. It would
also be desirable to give the plates only to Etch as will drive
their own carriages ; by these means a more civil race of
coachmen would be substituted. We recommend all com-
plainants to go to the Hackney Coach-office in Essex-
street, and not to the police-offices, where the Magistrates
cannot be expected to know the distances. In Essex-street
they do.
Ta•werustom or BLOOM—The extraordinary opera-
tion of taking blood from the veins of one individual, and
injecting it into those of another, was lately performed by
Dr. Blundell, Lecturer of Midwifery at Guy's Hospital,
upon a poor woman aged 23 years. She was to all appear-
ance, dyirg from loss of blood, after a severe labour, when
Dr. Blot dell (seeing the imminent danger of the case) laid
bare one of the veins of her left arm, taking care to pre-
vent the blood flowing from the orifice. The husband of
the woman, who war a robust man, was then called in, and
two ounces of blood taken from his arm into a glass turn-
hlzr this blood was then, by means of a syringe, slowly
thrown into the vein of the woman, in the direction of the
heart, and the same quantity immediately after repeated.
In about ten minutes the woman ralli.vl, and gradually
recovereffrom the jaws of death. The syringe was of
brass,.and well tinned on the inside; to the mouth a pipe
was fixed, of about two inches long, and the size of a
crow's quill, shape : like a pen at the end, but with a
blunt point. All air was ca expelled from the sy-
tinge when used.

Sroarixe!—On Tuesdayfest two medical students at
this town, who were dettirtut of improving in the art of
shooting, procured a pigeon, which they tied by the leg,
'allowing it to sport in the air whilst they tired at it.
Thirty rounds were discharged without effect; when,
they fastened their feathered victim to a post. and, ntj
twelve yards distance, diseharzeil thirty Nunds niorr.j
The bird seeming invulnirable, the young aspirants
halved the distance, and fired several times, but without
effect. The distance was hslvetl a second time, which re-
duced it to three yards, and extra luring having been put
round the bird, to keep its wings from fluttering, they bo.h
levelled their guns at the same time. with: infallible cer-
tainty ; and, strange to relate, the bird was blown to atoms!
One pocketed the wings, the other the legs, and then
trudged home in triumph, to relate their success.—Bo:;cl
Chronicle.
