MISS PARDOE'S " CITY of th S s ULTAN"
I* NOW READY,
" These volumes are the work of one who set forth resolute to see,
and was not to be daunted by dangers or difficulties. We find her
bandying compliments with Boys and Pashas—presiding at Mussul-
man dinners—nestling among the cushions of the Tandour, or par-
taking of the Bath with the Fatima% of a Turkish household, ga-
thering up their prattle, and learning how to manage a yashmac'
as well as the best of them—mingling, without prejudice, with
Jews and Greeks, turning Dervishes and State Officers—and even
visiting the mosques of the City of the Sultan at midnight and in
disguise. Her experiences are highly curious and interesting, and
are most agreeably presented to the public."--Athenaeum..

A Roman sepulchral vase, containing burnt human
bones, was found last week in some grounds belonging to the
Marquis of Bristol, in the vicinity of kemptown. The bones
are very considerably calcined, and from.their delicacy of struc-
ture and smallness of size, are presumed to be those of a female
of youthful age.

The Russian line-of-battle ships are armed with four
very formidable guns on the lower deck, throwing 401 b.
shells horizontally. The damage that might be done by one
of these shells lodging and exploding in the interior of an
enemy's ship is incalculable. One of their eighty-fours has a
large gun of this sort which throws a shell of 1201bs. The gun
weighs in English measure 6 tons, 1 cwt., 3 qrs., 171 b. The
charge fur throwing it is 151bs. of powder. It is wo.ked by
16 men, and they are six minutes between each rount The
noise is said to be tremendous.—Capiain. Clagfurd.

his trial at the York Assizes. York Chronicle.
A BLACK ICARUS.—During the last few days, the
roads and lanes in the neighbourhood of the race-ground, Car.
House, &c., have been visited by a black being, sometimes
dressed in female, sometimes in male, attire ; and who, armed
with a large knife, has occasioned much fright to several ladies,
as well as to children, extorting money by threats from the
former, and terrifying the latter. Information of the circum-

hitherto without success. On more than one occasion, nearly

the purpose of running down the obj,ct in view ; but, alter the
chase had commenced over the Car in the direction of High

On Friday morning the body of a boy, about three
years old, was found in the Regent's Canal, near to Battle-
bridge, and appealed to have been in the water but a few hours.
The body was removed to the workhouse. It is supposed that j
the child had been playing by the side of the water, and had
accidentally fallen in.
Yesterday evening, about a quarter before six, as the
daughter of Mr. Shaw, baker, residing. at 275, Strand, was
crossing the road near St. Clement's Church, she was
knocked down by a horse, mounted by a gentleman, which was
proceeding at a gentle pace. The moment the horse came in
contact with the child he plunged roost violently, trampling on
her face, anti kicking her on several parts of the body. The
unfortunate child was instantly conveyed, covered witit blood,
to the house of Mr. James, surgeon, Norfolk-street, Strand,
where every attention was paid to her ; but the injuries she
has sustained are of so serious a nature that little hopes are en-
tertained of her recovery. The rider of the horse, perceiving
the accident, immediately galloped off towards Charing-cross,
and, it is believed, escaped,
LACONIC EMTLEs.—Thelwall, about to be
tried for treason, wrote to Mr. (afterwards Lord) Erskine,
the following laconic epistle, " I shall plead nay own cause."

if you do." Mr. Thelwall, wittily rejoined, " Then if I do,
I'll be hanged.
About eight weeks ago, a large dog, of the mastiff
breed, attacked a young man, of 19 years of age, while sitting
at the door of his father's house, near the East India-road,
Poplar. The animal first fastened upon the throat of its vic-
tim, and so fast did it hold him with its teeth, that the father
of the youth, whose cries brought him to his assistance, bent a
large poker nearly in two before it let go its hold. It next
caught the young man by the chin and la !crated it in a shock-
ing manner, and then ran off. The youth was taken to the
shop of a neighbouring surgeon, and so diAigured, by the cut-
ting away and cauterising the injured part, as to be scarcely
known. Notwithstanding this precaution, the unfortunate
youth has latterly exhibited symptoms such as tJ lead to the
most serious apprehensions on the part of his friends, that the
dog was rabid, and that the seeds of that dreadful disease
hydrophobia," arc sown in him. Sane strong measures
hould be adopted by the magistrates aid Police of the diffe-
rent districts of the metropolis to protect the public, by de-
stroying all dogs found at tarp without a muzzle.
