THE COAL-HOAL TAVERN, STRAND.-This
old establised and favourite place of public resort, seems in
higher estimation than ever, if ie may judge from the number
of visitors of the highest respectability, who nightly meet here
for the purpose of enjoying the unrivalled Harmonic meetings.
The excellence of the singing, and the manner in which it is
conducted, must necessarily place this establishment as the first
of the kind in London.

The Queen has been graciously pleased to grant to
the scholars of the Western Grammar School, Brompton, an
extension of their approaching Christmas vacation, in compli-
ance with a petition presented to her Majesty, signed by
ninety-seven of the pupils. The request was grounded upon
the circumstance, that the institution is situated in the parish
in which her Majesty was born, and in which so many years
of her life have been spent. In the absence from town of the
Earl of Cadogan, the patron of the institution, the petition
was presented to her Majesty by Sir Henry Wheatley.
As the Duke de Nemours was coming up the
Seine, between Havre and Rouen, a young lion, belonging to
his Royal Highness, which was suffered to run about the deck
of the Courtier, fell into the river, and as the tide was running
very strong, it was feared he would be drowned. The crew
made signals to persons on the shore to watch for and take
care of the animal, in case of its reaching the shore.
Captain Deans Dundas, M.P., has left town for
Edinburgh, in consequence of the lamented death of his
mother, the sister of the late Lord Amesbury, which event
took place in that city on Thursday. Mrs. Deans was in her
83d year. The Hon. Gentleman has, however, taken care
that, under these melancholy circumstances, the Liberal party
shall not be deprived of the advantage of his vote in the
House of Commons, as he has paired off with Mr. Fleming,
the Member for South Hants, until after the recess.

PRECOCIOUS THROSTLE.—On Sunday last as
some men were strolling in the fields at Turton, they perceived
a fine throstle fly from beneath a hollin bush, and on going
to the spot found a nest containing three eggs, which were
quite warm, and in progress of hatching. The nest was left
undisturbed, and in a few minutes the men perceived the fea.
thered songster again fly into the nest to cherish her progeny.

Within the last eight days no fewer than four at-
tempts have been made to set fire to the house of William
Boyd, weaver, Carrick-street, Ayr. —Glasgow Chronicle.
The shoal of garvies (or sprats) in the Frith of
Forth is at present so dense, that the fishermen cannot ply
their oars without tossing numbers of them in the air at every
stroke. On Tuesday night fourteen boats went from New-
haven, and returned full early yesterday morning. The quan-
tity taken was so great that they could not find buyers for the
whole at any price ; and it a fact that Mr. Dods, farmer,
Granton, at the solicitation of one of the fishers, drove off six
large cart-loads of garvies yesterday forenoon for manure ;
the owner saying that Mr. Dods might give him anything he
pleased for them, or take them for nothing. What are the
curers doing ? Our grocers sell Yarmouth sprats smoked, or
cured red, at 3d. per lb. Can nothing be done in this way
with our Frith ones? We understand that our Newhaven
friends we so discouraged by their great success, that they
have resolved to leave the garvies undisturbed in their native
element.—Mcreury.
