HOW TO CURE A CUTTING HORSE.-Mine host of the
Vine bought a horse, an aged animal, and a desperate
cutter on both legs before ; during the winter, for want of
better employment, he exercised his ingenuity on the
horse's legs, having no other use for them ; first he tied a
small lack of straw between them, then a larger, increas-
ing the size, till he in two months made the horse go as
well without cutting as any one which had never cut.

RELIC OF FORMER TIMES.—THE HALIFAX
GinnEr.—Our readers will recollect, that the mound cf
earth usually called Gibbet Hill, and standing on the spot
where executions under the Halifax gibbet law used to
take place, was enclosed, a short time ago, by the town
trustees, for the purpose of being formed into a yard for
their carts, &c. The earth, which was merely the accumu-
lated rubbish of a series of ye ars,probably a century or more,
is now in course of removal ; and the workmen have, with-
in the last few days, uncovered a large stone platform,
Its high, which is, there
feet square, and netTly five feet
can he no reasonable doubt, the platform of the ancient
gibbet. Part of the upper course of the stone-work is
wanting, but the platform appears to be in a better state of
preservation than could have been expected. We hope
that the town trustees will take steps for the preservation
of this curious relic of local antiqeity, that it may remain
a monument of the sanguinary laws of a rude and bar-
barous age.—Halifax Express.
TEMPTATION ; OR A WIFE'S PERILS.—A
new novel is on the point of making its appearance, under
fie title of " Temptation ; or, a Wife's Perils," which is
said to offer a remarkable example of that peculiar class of
work about the moral tendency of which there has always
been a strange difference of opinion among critics; we al-
lude to works among the most celebrated examples of
which are Madame de Steel's " Delphine," Madame Cot-
tin's " Clair D'Albe," and " Violet; or the Dansense,"
by an unknown author. The title of the forthcoming work
sufficiently speaks the nature of its plot ; but we under-
stand the greatest attraction of the novel will be found to
consist in the extraordinary force and truth of its details,
which give to it all the effect of a real narrative, while the
strangeness and variety affords all the excitement of a
romance.

SIX LIVES LOST.—on Thursday night, about
eleven o'clock, during the tempest,
six young men were
drowned at Chelsea reach, by the upsetting of the
two bas in which they were rowing.

His Majesty will probably go to Toplitz in the middle
of July. To-day his Majesty goes to the country-seat at
Parclz, near Potsdam. The most agreeable accounts con-
tinue to be received from the Rhenish provinces resia clang
the tour of the Crown Prince. Though, as was to be ex-
pected, the heir to the throne is everywhere received in the
warmest manner, it is particularly to be observed that
the late religious differences have not caused, on
this occasion, any divergence between the several
religions; all, on the contrary, vied with each other in
showing with what genuine and cordial attachment the
Inhabitants of those provinces are devoted to the Royal
[louse when no foreign influence acts on them. The
Nobility, not only in the ancient possessions at Cleves,
but also in those formerly under the ecclesiastical au-
thority, were equally forward in paying their respects to
hi., fiord Highness, from whom they all experienced the
same gracious reception.
Sr. PETERSBURG, JUNE B.—The Emper.)r has been
pleased to shorten the duration of the suspension of the
University of Kiew, and to allow the reception of the
students, and the opening of the lectures to begin in Sep-
tember this year.

KIEL, JUNE 14.---His Majesty landed here ye3terday
evening in good health, amidst the acc-arnations of the

HANOVER, JUNE 17.—1 a the address 1 re .::tod to the
King (who declared that he woad exau.ine it him,: 1.,
and not through others) the most important po-nt i* the
declaration of the Estates, " at' agret.v..eoi in the
nature of a compact between th, King, and tho country as
necessary for the satisfaction of the people ;" by this it is
thought the interference of the Diet may be avoided. But
it may be doubted whether this will be considered us satis-
factory, as several Dviatics have not propel powvr, and so
many protests Iptv:: been presented to the Diet. —llan'.
