Covent-garden market is, we perceive, nearly
finished, with the exception of the terrace and the grand
entrance from Russell-street, both of which are to be
highly ornamented and tastefully embellished beyond the
original plan. The terrace will occupy the entire oast
front, and on the south part of it a green-house will be
erected upon a novel construction, extending from the
north to the south, which will be occupied by the princi-
pal nurserymen, and filled with exotic as well as natty,
shrubs and flowers. In the front of the green-house as
extensive promenade is intended, the ascent to which will
be by a handsome flight of stone steps. The green-house
is entirely gratuitous from the Duke of Bunion') to the
Florists.

We regret to hear that the men belonging to
Varteg Iron Works, Monmouthshire, are standing out
for wages, and that a spirit of insubordination and out-
rage has manifested itself among them.—On Friday, 104
again on Monday week, great numbers of them paraded
the streets at Pontypool in a disorderly manner, and
rescued from the civil power a man who had bee❑ appre-
hended as the ring-leader. The inhabitants of the town
are in a state of great alarm, and anxiously await the
arrival of the military, who are said to have been sent for
to maintai❑ order and arrest the progress of anarchy and
the evils consequent on lawless proceedings, which are in-
jurious alike to the workmen, to their employers, and to
the public.—Cambrian.

A fine embergoose was shot by Mr. CRAvvrt
spirit-merchant, at Burlington, during the last week, in a
small rivulet that runs along the south side of the tow►,
the plumage of which is really beautiful. LALHAM de-
arribes this water-fowl as common in Switzerland, where
it is known by the name of Milder. He says it makes ,
its nest among the reeds and flags, and platten it in the
water, so that it is continually wet, as in some of the
Grebe genus. It utters a loud shrill cry. lie adds, that
it is sometimes taken 20 yards deep under water—namely,
with a net, or iron hook baited with a fish. And Bur Fox
also asserts that it dives to very great depths, and swims
under water to the distance of an hundred paces, with its
ascending to take breath—a portion of air, included in the
dilated windpipe, supplies its respiration during the in.
terval.—Doncaster Gazette.

SMUGGLING CASE.—On Tuesday last
JESST YATES, JERRY BUTLER, EDWARD ETiaRTON, Rtitl
EDWARD ROBINSON, were brought before EnWaal.
CARTEL and DANIEL HOWARD, &qrs. Magistrates for the
Borough, to answer informations exhibited against them
at the instance of the Board of Customs, for breaches of
the Revenue LAWS. It appeared by the evidence that they
were taken on the 11th inst. at eleven o'clock at night,
about three miles and a half to the westward of the Owen,
Light, in a boat, by a boat's crew of his Majesty's cutter
Snipe, commanded by Lieutenant PoscELL, havidg oa
beard thirty-nine ankers and a half of foreign spirits.
They were all convicted, and YATES being fit for the Navy
was adjudged to serve his 'MAJESTY for five years. The
others were each fined 1001., and in default of payment
committed to the Borough gaol. YATES was escorted from
the Town Hall, underithe custody of the Master at Arms,
by a party of the Royal Marines.—Portsosoutit Herald.

EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE.—About
three o'clock on Tuesday morning the inhabitants of
Penzance were astounded by an explosion that shook their
houses as if the town had been visited by the shock of as
earthquake. Numbers rushed front their beds into the
streets, when it was soon discovered that a small vessel,
lying at the pier, had blown up. On further inquiry, to
the amazement of the whole town, and we think, we may
say, of all by whom the story shall be heard, it was
ascer-
tained that the vessel had been deliberately blown up by
one of her owners. This man was one-third owner of
the vessel, and the day before quarrelled with his partners
for refusing to appoint his brother Captain, and told thero
he would blow her up—a threat to which they paid no
attention, never imagining it would be carried into execu-
tion. The angry man, however, determined to be as good
as his word, purchased a hundred and a half of blasting-
powder, and executed his purpose to the terror of all his
townsmen. Happily no person was injured. The
offender has been committed to prison.

A STRANGE AFFAIR.----OR Thursday a
young woman, the newly married spouse of an Italian
figure-maker, had a narrow escape from a dreadful and
sudden death ; but the story will be best told in the lan-
guage of her lord and master, as delivered by him in the
Police Office. " I sent her out von message, to see von
de boat sail for Fife ; and gave her de raonie to pay for
my ticket. My vile vera long coming Lome--tree hour.
Igo to small house at teatre to make de enquire. Dey
tol' me lily vile gone two hour. Coming up de bridge I
meet PXDRO, selling de figar of Suter Jon and de Taut
o'Shant.' Ile tell me my vile carried polish offish, dead.
Me vas glad when de offisher tell me dat her ear.ring and
two gold ring on de finger vera safe; for de rest I do not
mind at de present." The fact is, that the lady having
fallen in with an old acquaintance got drunk, and in a tit
of shame or madness, jumped on the parapet of the Bridge►
and was only prevented from falling over by two gentlemen
passing, who gave her in charge to a police patrol. She
lay in the office about two home, when Gurserro, having
previously secured her jewels, thought of returning for. Let
dear 821 f; and the liquor having by that time somewhat
evaporated, she walked home on the arm of her loving
husband, who declared " vould make her a good vife is
future, for she should never get von shilling more to get
drunk with."—Cciledonian Mercury.
