A few days since a comber resident in the neigh-
bourhood of Bingley, left his home for the purpose of or-
dering a coffin, to contain the remains of a child which bad
died a few days after birth ; but on his way to the joiner's
he fell in with Sir John Barleycorn, who made him tipsey,
and in this state he returned home to his bereaved wife,
having forgotten the object for which be started.—Bradford
Obsei ver.

About a fortnight since, a blue landlord leaving a
public-house, in Rochdale, the premises weie taken by one
of the Liberal voters ; a few days after he entered, two
carters, employed at a large cotton mill, belonging to Tory
masters in the neighbourhood, called and got a pint or two
of beer with the new landlord ; when, on going to work
the morning following, a son of one of the partners went to
one of them in the stable, and told him that none of their
men would be allowed to go to a Radical house : the carter
replied, " he worked for his money, and he thought he had
a right to spend it wheie he thought proper." He was
then ordered off the premises. The carter went again the
day after, thinking they might alter their mind, but he was
told by another of the same firm to march off.—Bradford
Observer.
The Prince of Orange's third son, who is a Mid-
shipman in the Dutch navy, is making a tour of the in-
terior of Java, and was on the 27th of July, when last
heard of, in good health, at a place called Kediri.
Yesterday morning an inquest was held before Mr.
J. C. Carttar, at the Mitre Tavern, Greenwich, on the
body of Joseph Robson, one of those who perished in the
collision between the lifercury steam-boat and the York-
shire stone-smack off Blackwell, on Tuesday last. The pro-
ceedings excited much painful interest, and the Court was
thronged with masters, pilots, fishermen, and others, con•
nected with the navigation of the Thames. After evidence
had been heard, the inquest was adjourned till Monday.
We find the following details of the state of the ves-
sels sent out on the whale-fishery from Havre in the daily
journal of that place :—On the 10th instant there were 48
vessels belonging to that port emplo)ed in this trade, mea-
suring on an average 447 tons each, and costing altogether
from 9,000,000 f. to 10,000,000 f. The number of men em-
ployed on board them is about 1,500, and nearly 1,000 fa-
milies depend on the profits made by this fishery. Not lea
than 1,800 workmen are supposed to be engaged in Havre
in various occupations resulting from the produce of this
branch of trade. In a full season, 106,000 barrels of oil,
each 2001 b. weiAt, would be brought home by these ships,
together with 250,0001 b. of whalebone, the value of which,
added to 1,250,000 f. premium paid by the state for the en-
couragement of this fishery, would make the total value of
a full season 9,500,0001. The true estimate, however, of
an average season, is about one-third lest, giving a sum that
shows the importance of these fisheries in the South Seas
to France.
