ARCHERY.
A grand meeting of the Royal St. Leonard's Archers took
place on the 17th instant, in honour of the birthday of their
Patroness, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, when
the Royal Victoria ;prizes, presented to the Society by the
Queen and her Royal Highness were contended for by the
members under the splendidly embroidered banner presented
to the Society by the same Illustrious Ladies ; and it was an-
nounced by the Treasurer that her Majesty had that morning
graciously signified her intention to continue her patronage to
the Society, and her desire that it should thenceforward bear
the title of the " Queen's Royal St. Leonard's Archers." In
consequence of and to celebrate this honourable distinction, we
understand it is the intention of the Society to give an archery
fete next year upon a scale of great liberality and magnifi
cence, at which it is expected that all the ladies and gentle-
men attached to the amusement of archery from the •arious
societies in the kingdom, will assemble to compete for the
prizes which will be given by the Society, in honour of their
august Patroness. This very fashionable watering-place is
about receiving an accession to its celebrity by the vis►t of her
Majesty the Queen Dowager, for whom great preparations are
making; as well as for their Royal Highnesses the Princess
Augusta and the Princess Sophia of Gloucester.

Last week a man, named Charles Moseley, was
committed to Worcester gaol for attempting to shoot his
wife. It appears from the evidence that the prisoner and
his wife had not lived together for some years past, and
that she lived servant to Mr. Brown, of Board-street,
Yardley. On the 30th of last month, Moseley went to
Mr. Brown's house, and asked to see his wife. She was
called up stairs to him, and, on co.ming to the door where
he was standing, he pulled out a pistol, loaded with powder
and shot, presented it at her, and pulled the trigger. The
pistol fortunately missed fire, and the fellow made his
escape. He was afterwards taken into custody in Birming-
ham, and the facts having been proved against him, he was
committed.—Cambrian.
On Friday, Mrs. Wheatly, a widow lady, residing
at Linthurst, near Bromsgrove, relict of the late Mr.
Wheatley, of Bourn Brook, near Birmingham, first cut
her throat with a razor, and then threw herself into a
pool of water ; she was almost immediately takeu out,
but was quite dead.— Worcester journal.
If the best man's faults were written on his fore-
head, it would make him pull his hat over his eyes.— Gaelic
Proverb.
