ANTHOLOGY FOR 1830.

A very interesting Miscellany in prose and
verse, adapted as the Editor (the Rev. J. Parry)
informs us " to the instruction and amusement
of youth." The selections are from the works
of our most admired English classics in almost
every department of intellect. Among living
authors who have been laid under contribution, we
find the names of Lyall, Waterton, Rogers,
Johanna Baillie, Montgomery, Scott, Words-
worth, Southey, Campbell, and Lockhart. These
extracts have been made with considerable taste
and discrimination.

INDICATIONS OF INSANITY—LoNnoN, 1830.
Dr. Conolly has traced the phenomena of
insanity in a learned and inquisitive spirit, and in
his analysis of madness and eccentricity, as also in
the line he has drawn between the two morbid
peculiarities, has shown that he is no less a cor-
rect logician, than an observing and acute phy-
siologist. His chapter entitled, " On the inequa-
lities, weaknesses, and peculiarities of the human
understanding, which do not amount to in-
sanity," is as convincing a treatise of the
sort, as we ever remember to have read,
especially that portion of it which refers to
and discusses the faculty of attention. We
have little doubt that this able work will
supersede all those long-winded straggling Dis-
sertations on Insanity, with which a host of
Mad Doctors have for years past been in the
habit of punishing us, and which prove little
beyond the insanity of their authors. We re-
gret that space and time will not allow us to
enter, at the length we could desire, into the
deserts of Dr. Conolly's Analysis.

It seems that Captain JONES, R.N., son of
the Rer. Mr. Jonas, Rector of Urney, has commenced a
canvass for the representation of the county of Derry, on

There is in Brussels a market for frogs, which
are brought alive in pai's and cans, and prepared for dressing
on the spot. The hind limbs, which are the only parts
used, are cut off with scissors, by the women who bring
the animals for sale.

A letter from Paris mentions that the founda-
tions of the palace of the Tuileries are in a very decayed
state, and the building altogether is so much in want of
repair that it is expected to go to total ruin if something is
not speedily done to it.
A Bill has been brought into Parliament with
the view of preventing the spreading of canine madness,
and it enacts that Magistrates, upon receiving information
that canine madness is prevalent, may issue notices order-
ing all dogs to be confined for a certain period. The Act
then provides that any person who shall suffer a dog to go
at large after such notice, shall for every such offence
forfeit a sum of money not exceeding .51. When such no-
tise has been issued, it will be lawful for any person to
impound a dog for the period specified in it, and after the
expiration of it, if the owner does not come forward, the
dog Islay be destroyed. The Act concludes by directing
how the penalty may be recovered, and what way it is to
be applied.
THE UNDYING ONE.—To this story in
verse, which report characterize, as one of great origina-
lity and Attraction, the fair writer, we understand, has
added several minor Poems on recent occasions in Fashion-
able Life, many of which have, in MS., gone the round
of the higher circles.
NEWCASTLE ELECTION.—Since our last,
the friends of Mr. HODGSON have been unremitting in
their exertions to secure the return of that gentleman, in
the anticipated event of a dissolution of Parliament. On
Friday, the 4th instant, Mr. floncsos was presented with
the freedom of the Smiths' Company. A similar propo.
sition win; made at a meeting of the Barber Surgeons'
Company on Monday last, but it was rejected. On
Thursday, however, the position of affairs was totally
altered, to the great disappointment of the burgesses, by the
resignation of Mr. ELLisox. Sir MATTHEW WHITE
RIDLEY has also addressed the burgesses, in consequence
of Mr. Honosoies first advertisement, pledging himself to
meet them personally the moment he is released from his
Parliamentary duties. Mr. HonosoN has also published a
second address, is which he pledges himself to go to a poll,
i■ the event of any other candidate appearing in the field.

1111511 !low.—On Sunday afternoon, about
six o'clock, the neighbourhood of Newington Butts was in
a considerable state of alarm in consequence of the violence
of a large assemblage of Irish. It appears that the body
of a man, named MAIIONT, vvaa to have been interred in
Newington church-yard, at three o'e)ock, at which hour
the clergyman was in waiting to perform the ceremony.
From some cause or other, however, the corpse and its
numerous attendants did nut arrive until six o'clock, and.
then there was no clergyman in attendance. The circum-
stance was explained by the sexton, but to little purpose.
The friends of the deceased said that they could do quite
as well without the parson, and they were determined to
bury the body ; with this view they hastened to the grave,
and the chief mourners seized the spades of the grave dig-
gtra, and commenced operations threatening to annihilate
213), one who interfered to prevent theta. The church-
yard awl its vicinity soon became a scene of uproar and
violence. At this time Mr. Dowtanct, the superin-
tendatit of Porte*, arrived with a party of constables, and
;n a very short time peace was restored, and the ring-
leader of the riot in ,gonfinement. The corpse was de-
tained in the church, with the understanding that it would
be buried in the morning at ten o'clock, Lad Mr. Dow 1.1.17C1
took precautionary meazures to prevent a recurrence of
the disgraceful scene.
