The Loaf MAYOR—I hope you would not boil a dog or
a cat for that purpose, at any rate.—( Laughter. )—Com-
plainant—Not I, I would not do it for any purpose at all.
Its a great nuisance to me to be treated in this way. lam
a painter, and have nothing at all to do with dog boiling,
and I bore the insult as long as I could, but I can't stand
it any longer. I was in at a house in 'Change-alley a few
days ago, and what does this b.)y do, but he goes to the
servants, and says he, " That fellow is—l'll tell you what
he is"_..

The LORD MAYOR—What?—Complainant—" Wby a
dog-boiler, to be sure."—( Great laughter.)
Mr. HOELER said, that the butchers' boys were in the
habit of accusing persons of extraordinary things, by way
of " lark," and required to be checked now and then by a
visit to the Compter or to the Quarter Sessions.
The LORD MAYOR (to the complainant)—lt is a weak-
ness in you to be irritated by a nickname of the kind.
Dog-boiler is not half so bad a name as many names that
we can take no notice of; but as he has thrown stinking
meat at you, he shall find bail.
The defendant denied that he had thrown anything at
the complainant, except the word " Dog-boiler," which he
had certainly cast in the man's teeth, on account of an over-
charge made by the complainant on his work for a job, and
he thought that the name he might have used was much
worse.

The defendant was remanded.

THE GOLD DUST ROBBERY.—The witnesses bound over
in this important case amount to upwards of sixty, and the
prosecution, it is estimated, will cost Mr. Hartley at least
1,5001. The prisoner, Mrs. Abrahams, has altered very
much in her appearance since her apprehension, and it was
remarked by many who had seen her father, Money Moses,
on Friday. that he seemed very mach " down on hia luck."
It was stated yesterday at the office that, ti,e tatter h:.4
offered a certain officer soot, as the price of his liberation,
and that the offer was refused. The report, however,
originated with a person upon whose voracity much re-
liance cannot be placed. The well-merited compliment,
paid by Mr. Hardwick at the termination of the inquiry to
Lea and Roe, the office's, namely, that the public were
very much obliged to them for their extraordinary exer-
tions in bringing the parties implicated in the robbery to jus-
tice, was omitted in the report of the examination, and it is
but justice to these officers to add, that those expressions of
the magistrate were joined in by Mr. Hartley, and all
others engaged for the prosecution.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF FECUNDITY.—
A cow, of the long-horned breed, the property of Mrs.
Robinson, of Beck stones, near Caldbcck, about a fortnight
ago, gave birth to the extraordinary number of four calves,
one bull and three queys. One of the queys has since
died, but the others, together with the mother, are doing
well Ca' lisle Journal. _ _

In another part of our paper will be found an
account of the attempt of a man, supposed to be deranged,
to force an entrance into Buckingham Palace on Monday
night. The result of his examination at the Home Office
has not, we believe, been published; and therefore we
state, that the accused party has been committed for three
months to Tothill-fields prison, he having been found
under such circumstances as above mentioned, and with.
out being able to give any satisfactory excuse for his can-
duct. We trust that the friends of the unfortunate man
may come forward and make some arrangements for his
future safe keeping.—Observer.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Sunday morning
week, about one o'clock, as Mr. Moyes, tailor, of Wit-
bech, was driving his mother, his sister, aged eleven
years, and Miss Frost (to whom he was paying his ad-
dresses), in a sociable along the bank of the river, he
pulled the wrong rein, and the horse, which was blind,
went over the precipice, throwing the whole party into
the stream. Moyes took his sister on his back and en.
deavoured to swim to the shore, but being entangled
with the harness, failed to extricate himself, and was
drowned. Mrs. Moyes wrs taken from the water alive.
but in so exhausted a state, that she died in throe hours
afterwards. Miss Frost and the girl were also rescued
through the intrepidity of two persons, who jumped into
the river and are likely to recover.—Newcastle Chronicle.
Vac understand that Mr. Calder has been ap-
pointed to the Clerkship in the Treasury, vacant by the
resignation of the Hon. Charles Gore. Our readers are
aware that in the case of Clerkships in the Treasury, the
First Lord nominates three candidates for the vacancy, and
that, after a rigid examination, the appointment is
conferred on that candid'.t" who has proved himself to be
the best qualified.—Observer.
We are enabled to state that, upon the death of
Sir Benjamin Stephenson, the Government abolished the
ancient office of Riding Forester in the New Forest,
which, with a salary of 5001. a year, had no duties what-
ever annexed to it. We believe, we may add, that the
Government was in nowise committed to the abolition of
this of by the Report of the Select Committee on Sine-
cure Offi'..es in 1834, inasmuch as the abolition of this ap-
pointment was not included in the recommendations of that
Report.—Observer.
A MANS HEAD BLOWN OFF.—On Satur-
day last an inquest was held on the burly a man who was
killed at one of the shafts belonging to the Manchester and
Leeds Railway, at Summit, near Rochdale. it appeared
that the deceased was looking down the shaft at the pre-
cise time they were blasting below, and his head was literally
blown off. A verdict of" Accidental death'. was returned.

YANK EE MOD EST Y.—" We are the cleverest
riflemen in the world," said a ragged backwoodman to mo
on one of their 4th July celebrations. " I have heard of
a Mister Tell that resides somewhere in Europe or China,
that they say is a pretty slick hand with a rifle; and I cal-
culate be is a free Republican like ourselves." To have
attempted to dispute the matter with such a man would
have been a sheer waste of rime; and to have informed
him that the Mister William Lll he alluded to bad been
dead several centuries, and during his life never touched
a rifle, would only have tended to convince him of my own
ignorance and want of liberality.—Sporting Review.
DOCILITY OF TIIE CAMEL.—" Strings of
camels are continually passing. each comprising about
forty-five, and headed by a ma:: upon an ass, who lead, the
first, the others being mostly connected by slight cords.
It is a beautiful sight to see the perfect training and do-
cility of these animals. The caravans, as the weather is
becoming warmer, are beginning to travel by night, gene-
rally halting at about ten or eleven o'clock in the morning.
The care of the camels seems to he very much left to the
children. I have just watched a string of them stopping
ore an open plain : a child twitched the cord suspended
from the head of the first; a loud gurgling growl indicated
the pleasure of the camel as it awkwardly knelt down, and
the child, who could just reach its back. unlinked the
nooks which suspended from either side the bales of cot
ton ; another child came with a bowlof water and a sponge,
at:d was welcomed with a louder roar of pleasure as it
washed the mouth and nostrils of the animal. This grate

•
ful office ended, the liberated camel wandered off to the
thicket, to browse during the day ; and this was done to
each of the forty-five, which all unbidden had knelt down
precisely as the one I have described, forming a circle
which continued marked during the day by the bales of
goods lying at regular distances. On a given signal in
the afternoon, at about three o'clock, every camel resumed
its own place, and knelt between its bales, which were
again attached, and the caravan proceeded on its tardy'
course. lam not surprised at finding the strong attach-
ment of these animals to the children ; for I have often
seen three or four of them, when young, lying with their
heads inside a tent in the midst of the sleeping children,
while their long bodies remained outside."—Fellows' Ex-
cursions in Asia Minor.
IRlsii PRIDE.--While I was occupied in
sketchieg, a poor man, carrying a child in his arms ac-
costed me. Taere are so few beggars in these unfre-
quented parts, that I looked at him with curiosity. Al-
though his clothes were tattered. and his count, mince was
haggard, it was not charity that he required, He was
young and handsome, but his cheeks were pile. and there
was an expression of sorrow and deep feeling in his large
dark eyes. The poor child he was holding, with all el
mother's gentle care, looked ill and thin.—" Madam, will
per honour be plazed to tell me what's the hour ?" said he.
I answered him, that it was about four o'clock. "Is it
no more then ?" said he " sure 'tis a weary long time
since I have been in these parts, and the shadows of the
Almighty's sun seem changed since then." " Where
arc you going ?" I inquired. A tear started to the poor
man's eyes as he said—"'Tin to Castletown back I am
goin this blessed day, and sure 'tis a sad heart I am car-
rying along with mo. •
Four years agone I went away full of riches and happiness,
and now I return desolate and broken hearted. I took
away with mo the pride of the place, the prettiest girl in
all Monster, who refused many a good offer, and angered
her parents by loving me. Ali ! madam, if you had seen
my Noreen, you would have seen the most beautiful eyes
in the world, and the best too, for she never caused
tear to flow from mortal eye, no, not even from her
dear mother's, when she declared she would live and
die a maid rather, than marry any, boy, but her own
Ned—that was myself, and no other. Her parents for-
gave her, as well they might, for sure Noreen's beseeching
eyes would make even a savage beast as quiet as a lamb
They consented to our marriage, and let their darling fol-
low the fortunes of a spalpeen like myself—Oh I hone
—Oh I hone—what'll I do ?—how'll I ever—deep is the
grief that is mine this day, and cursed will be the tongue
that's to tell them that their darling is gone—from all of
us—gone to live among creatures snore worthy of her than
us." Wishing if possible to assuage his extreme grief,
observed to him, " But, my good man you have a child
left." " Oh I then praised be God for having left me
this little picture of Noreen to comfort me, any how,
and blessings be upon your lips for telling me to think
o' that," he continued, his large eyes beaming with
gratitude. " Sure wasn't it this weenock the only thing
that prevented me from now being at the side of No-
reen's grave. Wasn't it this her child that smiled upon
me so sweetly that I feel sometimes as if Noreen
herself was looking on me—for ma'am we bad hard times
of it at Waterford. When I went there work was scarce,
and only that neither of us could bear to come back poorer
than we went, we should ha' come long ago to the dear
place, where we were both born in, and then Noreen would
not have died may be. But God's will be done. We
were both too proud. We did'nt like our friends to see
we :had failed, and I could't bear the thoughts of ap-
pearing before the bays she had refused to marry, and hear
them say, ' look there at the spalpeen who took away
Noreen, but didn't know hew to make a fortin for her ;'
and so we suffered."—Lady Chatterton's Rambles in the
South of Ireland.
