A fever has broken out among the students in
the college near Naas, county of Kildare: such is
its virulence, that the professors have written to the
parents cf those not afflicted, to have them instantly
removed; and, in order to prevent the contagion
tpreading further, suits of clothes are ordered to be
brought for such as shall be removed, with the view
of burning those that are already in use.
In the canton of the Valleis, in Switzerland, Jo-
seph Costa; a Genoese, has been condemned to be
tut in the pillory and whipped, on conviction of
avirg assumed the name of the ecclesiastic attached
to the convent of the Simplon, and of having under
this character received considerable sums, which
charitable persons in France, the Netherlands, and
Switzerland, thought they were giving to the au-
therized collector of the hospital. The Govern-
ea:::t of the Vallais describes five accomplices of th's
fo.nnts collector.

It is well known to persons concerned in passing
private bills through Parliament, that it is custom-
ary, to so .11 as they are printed, to send a copy to
tae Chairman a the Committees of the House of
Lot.J.+, in order to receive his Lordship's observations
and alterations. It Li said, that in the cour,e. of this
Session, there has been introduced, by the authority
untided to, into all the new tnrnpihe arts, a clause
exempting the members of the Royal Family from
the payment of tolls which exemption, us worded,
will extend to all carriages of every description hear-
ing Ow arms of any of the Royal Family thereon.—
This clause has btien introduced into Scotch and
other turnpike acts not likely to be affected by the
measure.; but the rule once introduced will soon
form a precedent for inserting it into acts affecting
roads near London, and which in its operation may
become extremely serious to the different trusts in
the vicinity of the metropolis.
The Right Hon. John Foster has sailed for Holy-
head, te-attend his duties in Parliament. Mr. Fos-
ter is now the oldest Senator iu the House of Com-
mons, having been, without intermission, a Member
of Parliament since the latter end of' the year 1760,
a period of nearly fifly-nine years. Such a length
of time in the public service, without having been
once out of' it, is, we believe, unparalleled in our
parliamentary history.— Dalin Paper.

There is now in the potuession of Mr. Hayes, a
butcher, of Southampton, a pig with a wooden leg,
on the off side before, and it appears to walk with
littielameness or inconvenience. This pig belong-
ed to a disbanded soldier, who having seen many
operations peribrmed on his heroic comrades on the
glorious field of Waterloo, re►nembered enough of
surgery to enable him to practice amputation with
success on the poor animal, when an accident left no
alternativa between the loss of a limb or a prema-
ture death.
