On Tuesday an olive tree from Jerusalem was pre-
sented to her Majesty. It was planted in a box of clay from
the Holy City, and had a dozen healthy branches, all of which
had burst from one small spot, about the size of a shilling, just
as her Majesty had attained her eighteeth year.
On Tuesday, the 25th of July, the Leathersellers'
Company proceeded from their Hall, in St. Helen's-place, to
Barnet, to witness the laying the first stone of the new alms-
houses about to be built by them. A marquee was erected
for the occasion, and an elegant silver trowel was provided for
the Master, Mr. Richard Thornton, who performed the usual
ceremony ; after which a discourse was delivered by the Rev.
Mr. Hyde, of Camberwell, and the Court, accompanied by
Messrs. Ward, the builders and contractors, dined together at
the Castle, Hampstead. On the Master's health being drunk
the silver trowel was presented to him, when he, in a very ap-
propriate reply, adverting to the honour he had bad in laying
the first stone of their almshouses, concluded with the request
" that he might be permitted to finish them ;" and generously
gave the sum of 1,2081., being the amount contracted for the
building.
THE BATAS AT WILDRAD.—I walked over the
warns soft sand to tha farthest end of the bath, and I laid
myself down upon it, near the principal spring, resting my
head on a clean wooden pillow. The soothing effect of the
water, as it came over me, up to the throat, transparent like
the brightest gem or acquamarine, soft, genially warm, and
gently murmuring, I shall never forget. Millions of bubbles
of gas rose from the sand, and played around me, quivering
through the lucid water as they ascended, and bursting at the
surface, to be succeeded by others. The sensation produced
by these, as many of them, with their tremulous motion, just
efileuraient the surface of the body, like the much vaunted
effect of titillation in animal magnetism, is not to be described.
It partakes of tranquillity and exhilaration ; of the ecstatic
state of a devotee, blended with the repose of an opium eater.

Last week Lord Portman, while personally super-
intending the cleaning out of the river Stour from weeds, &c.,
in which twenty men were employed, had the melancholy spec-
tacle of seeing three of them drowned, without being able to
render them any assistance.
In the mayoralty of Sir Peter Perchard a beautiful
sturgeon was caught in the Thames, and presented to hie
Lordship, as Lord of the Manor and Conservator of the River.
It is usual to give five guineas to the person who catches the
Royal fish ; but the sturgeon caught upon the occasion we
allude to cost his Lordship ten guineas. Miss Perchard, when
she saw the sturgeon swimming about in a large ttib, said to
her father, " La, pa, don't kill that beautiful fish that came
so far to see you." " What the —am Ito do with it then,
my dear ?" said his Lordship. " Why, you have given five
guineas for it, and let me have the satisfaction of saving its
life," said the young lady. " Very well, my dear, do as you
please with it," cried Sir Peter. The fish was that evening
taken by the water bailiff opposite to the Tower, and dropped
into the Thames. About two days afterwards a Gravesend
fisherman knocked at the Mansion-house door and presented a
sturgeon to the Lord Mayor, who, considering himself obliged
to maintain the dignity of the mayoralty in every respect, or-
dered five guineas to be given to the bearer; but what was his
su-prise upon finding tied to the gill a small medal, with
" Peter Perchard, Mayor," upon it. His daughter alone ex-
plained the mystery to this genuine alderman of the old school.
A letter of the 20th ult., from Rome, published in
the Augsburyh Gazette, states that the cholera is the all-
engrossing topic of conversation in that capital, and has com-
pletely superseded even the interest previously attached to
Spanish affairs. The malady has made its appearance at Ce-
prano, a small frontier town on the Garigliano, about 70 males
from Rome, Ceprano and other localities have consequently
been declared suspected, and the Government has also ordered
the formation of a second cordon near Valinotona, the re-
spectable inhabitants of which place had eagerly seconded
the measures of the authorities. Several companies of the
garrison have been sent to that point.
On Thursday, at about a quarter past one o'clock,
the sentence of the law was carried into effect upon William
Magrath and the elder Aylward. Magrath was executed first,
and he died without a struggle. By some ill-management 00
the part of the executioner the rope which was fastened about
Aylward's neck gave way, and he fell to the ground. He was
raised again, and he came forward on the drop with n 1
firmness and composure than before. He was then cast eff
second time, and in a few minutes his spirit was gone fa
ever. He had come forth attended by the Rev. Mr. Humes
and Magrath was attended by one of the Clergymen of the
Established Church. Magrath came out uncovered, and
spoke a few words, but in so low a tone of voice as to be in-
audible unless to those immediately about him. Aylward had
his cap on, and addressed the crowd no otherwise than by an
inclination of his head. Notwithstanding the wetness of the
day the assemblage of the people who came to view the appall-
ing spectacle was immense. A respite until further orders
has been obtained for the younger Aylward. In regard to
the confessions made by Magrath and Aylward we may have
something to say hereafter.—Le ester Independent.

Yesterday afternoon, about half-past five o'clock, on
alarming fire was discovered raging in the upper part of the eg-
tensire warehouses belonging to Mr. Farncombe (late candi-
date for the borough of Southwark), Morgan's-lane, Tooler
street, wharfinger. The timely arrival of the engines and th°
exertions of the firemen arrested the progress of the flaives

The firemen suffered considerably from the fumes of some 6w;

six weeks ago, with 200 rifles of the late British Auxilierf

not since been heard of.

and, donations of plants having been announced, the meeting
