ExTnAonumuty NANIRATOR.—A fine tortoise•shell cat was
en Frith morning seen appronelM,g London bridge, peaceably
seated in a hrge bowl-dish. As she advanced towards the fan, every
wie anticipated that she would be overturned and precipitated into
lily sticam. She kept her sea', however, with great presence of
mind, and, amidst loud cheers, shot the centre arch with as inuca
dextetity as the most experienced waterman. A boy hearing her
voice shortly after she had made this hazardous attempt, and
fancying she wanted a pilot, rowed towards her, and took
}ter irtO ids wherry, when he linuttl around ter neck a
parchment scroll, stoting, that she had come from Richmond
Bridge, and directing, if she should reach Loudon in safety,
that 6he should be conveyed to a Mrs. Claike, in High-street, in the
Borough, who would'reward the hi inger. The boy, in pnrsnanre
of these instructions, conveyrd poor puss to Mrs. Clarke, who
seemed to be apprised of the circumstance, and rewarded the mes-
senger with half a crown.--It turned out that the voyage was un-
evrtaken for a wager between two Riehmond Gentlemen, and that
ions; was emharked at the turn of the tide in the course of the night,
.dud happily reached her destinatiou without suAalnim: any injury.
