and Paddington, by the direction of the Magistrat s of Mary-
lebone police drive, Nquestitig the owners of dogs to keep
them properly secured, by having them muzzled, cr e urely

dogs found at large in the streets not properly secured.
On Saturday last, the Rev. J. U. Winstanley, of
this town, chaplain to the Borough Gaol arid Mount Cemetery,
put a period to his existence by hanging himself. He had ex-
hibited aberration of mind for some months past.--Livtr-
pcol Standard.
DREADFUL DEATH FROM FlRE.—Yesterday
morning, at an early hour, a poor woman, named Davis, died
in Bartholomew's Hospital, from the effects of the injuries
she received from fire the morning previous. It appears that
she was sitting at the table reading, in her lodgings in King's
Head-cou-t, Shoe-lane, Fleet-street, when her cap came in
contact with the candle, and in a few seconds she was enve-
loped in flames. Her screams for assistance soon brought her
fellow-lodgers to the spot, who, with great difficulty, extin-
guished the fire, and conveyed her afterwards to the hospital,
where, after the most intense sufferings, she expired.
On Tuesday the Granard Shareholder day coach
was upset entering the village of Clonce, seven miles from
Dublin, in consequence of which one poor man was killed and
another had his leg broken, a third had his arm broken, and
a fourth is lying in the hospital with several of his ribs broken.
This is the second upset within the last two months, and on
a former occasion a poor woman lost her life.—lrish pap(r.

BRUSSELS, JUNE 25.—Vegetation is so rapid at
this moment, that a farmer in the environs of Droixhe, in the
FrJvince of Liege, affirms that the hops have grown two feet
in less than 24 hours.

STATE OF TRADE.—The general mourning has
caused a little increase to the business of our cotton-market,
chiefly in goods of a low description, which are used for lin-
ings, &c. In other respects things are as flat as usual.—
Blackburn Standard.

Yesterday morning a labouring man named Thos.
Cole, while at work as a mower on the estate of Mr. Wood,
of Tottenham, inadvertently trod on the handle of his scythe,
as it was lying in the grass, when the blade was jerked up
with great force, and striking him with the edge on the thick
part of the left thigh, completely divided the flesh to the bone,
to the extent of several inches. The poor fellow would have
bled to death in a very short time but for the assistance ret.-
dared him by some of his fellow workmen, who fortunately
were within call at the time the accident occurred. He was
afterwards removed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, but re-
mains in a precarious state. He has a wife and several chil-
dren dependent on his labour for maintenance.
KING'S THEATRE.-The attraction offered last
night was of no ordinary character—Grisi in Anna Bolena—
Pasta in Tancredi,—and a new ballet. The audience was in
consequence one of the most numerous of the season, and, we
should add, one of the most attentive. With regard to the
first opera, it is well known that Anna Bolena was for some
time one of Pasta's favourite characters ; and, when Grisi first
undertook it, her manner of treating it presented, as might
have been expected, many imitations of her predecessor. Sub-
sequently, however, she entirely freed herself from them, and
her personation of the character is now as original as it is ex-
cellent, and loses nothing by any comparison that can be made
with it. The effects she produces are all of which the part is
capable ; they are moreover all her own, and worthy of
her genius. Tancredi followed, or rather a scanty se-
lection from that opera. Every term of praise has been
justly lavished upon Pasta's "Di tanti palpiti ;" she sang
it last night in as splendid style as ever, and with tumultuous
applause. This and the duct " M'abbracio Argirio," with
Rubini were the only two pieces of interest. Pasta was called
forward and loudly applauded at the close of the opera. A
new ballet, in two acts, founded upon Byron's Corsair, fol-
lowed, the music composed expressly by Bochsa. On the
whole Le Corsaire went off with eclal, and will doubtless con-
tinue to be a favourite while Mademoiselles Duvernay and 11.
Elsler remain here ; and Seyd's palace is consumed with such a
splendid liberality of fireworks.
Monday morning, a party of about four hundred
persons, consisting of men and women, beset a weaving shop
in Pollard-street, Ancoats, in which about forty-five men are
employed by Messrs. Swainson and Birchwood, Marriott's-
court, Spring-gardens. Mr. Goodwin, the manager of the
shop, on seeing this array of persons, closed the door of the
building, and ordered the men under him to go into the cel-
-1 lars out of the way. He then proceeded to confer with the
most forward of the mob, who declared their determination to
break into the place, and turn the men out from their work.
The reason of their proceedings they assigned to be, that they
heard that Messrs. Swairtson and Birchwood's men were work-
ing under price.—Manchester Guardian.
A field of wheat and a field of barley may be seen
*I the farm of Mr. Struthers, of Gallowhill, Paisley, nearly
all in ear. Both fields have a very beautiful appearance.—
Glasgow Courier.
Haymaking has Partially commenc,Nl in this neigh-
bourhood, and during the last week a considerable quantity- of
hay has been stacked in excellent order. The clovers are in
general very good, and the meadow grass is much better than
could have been expected a month ago. The wheat is getting
fast into ear, and improves every day. The barley and oats
look well in most situations, and the peas are looking strong
and promise well. Beans are short everywhere. There is
scarcely a piece of Swedes that has escaped the fly, and many
have sown a second time. The fat markets are rather dull.
The beast and sheep in the marshes are doing well, but the
flocks are in general poor, and the loss of lambs has been
great with many flock masters.—Brighton Gazette.
OLD KING COLE.—The mortal remains of Old
King Cole, or Coil, so renowned in song as " a merry old
soul," it appears, were deposited many centuries ago in Ayr-
shire. To the south of Coilsfield House is a circular mound
enclosed by a hedge, and planted with oak and other trees.
On the centre and highest part of this mound are two large
stones—masses of basalt, which, according to tradition, mark
the spot of his interment. The names borne by places in the
vicinity are in keeping with this tradition, and the beautiful
mansion of Coilsfield—one of the seats of the Earl of Eg--
linton—takes its name from the good old King. Regard
for traditionary evidence and love of historical truth has in
duced some of the curious recently to open the grave. The
two large stones were first removed, and the centre was found
to be occupied by boulder stones of considerable size. When
the excavators bad reached the depth of four feet they came
on a flag-stone of circular form, about three feet in diameter.
This stone was lifted up, and under it was found a quantity of
dry, yellow, sandy clay, then a small flag-stone laid horizont
ally, covering th© mouth of an urn, filled with what were be-
lieved to he the ashes of the illustrious dead. lie is said to
have lived 300 years before the Christian era.
