THE OLD COPPER COINAGE.—About 20 tons of
the old copper money
.has been sent from. Manchester by
Smithy
.Door.. It is believed that the
Mr. J. Robinson,
amount of the old copper in this city was GO tons ; and as
the INTint authorities are desirous of obtaining it as early as
possible, it would be well if persons in the receipt of large
sums of copper would reserve the old coinage, and change
it as expeditiously as they can.

Mr. GORILLA IN LINERPOOL.—SeveraI specimens
of gorillas, one of which, it would appear, is the largest
which has yet been eeen in this country, have arrived in
Liverpool, under the care of Mr. R. B. Walker, a gentle-
man who, it will be remembered, attacked Du Chaillu's
work on the Gorilla. The femur, or thigh-bone of the
largest of Mr. Walker's specimens is 161 inches in length,
being 2 inches longer than the femur of the largest skeleton
in the British Museum, and very much larger than M. Du
Chaillu's. This monster, when alive, must have measured
6 feet in height. Dir. Walker has presented his largest
specimen, together with the skull and principal bone. of a
smaller one, to tne Liverpool Free Public Museum.
From the Lindsay Post we learn that a 'whirl-
wind, causing considerable damage, visited that neighbour-
hood on Friday, the 2d inst. Houses, barns, and fences
were blown down by the fury of the storm. The trees were
uprooted and cast about as so many reeds, the branches
being broken off and drawn into the air to the height of at
least 500 feet. One man had the half of his house carried
away, his bt,rn torn to pieces and everything connected with
it destroyed. His waggon, which was loaded with wood at
the time, was raised in the air, carried to a great distance,

and then dashed in pieces to the ground. -
LIFE.—At best life is not very long. A few
more smiles, a few more tears, some pleasure, much pain,
sunshine and song, clouds and darkness, hasty greetings,
abrupt farewells—then onr little play will close, and in-
jured and injurer will pass away. Is it worth while to hate
each other.

CHARING CROSS RAILWAY FROM ST.
TgoluA.s's HosrlTAL.—Yesterday a large number of
houses lying between St. Thomas's Hospital and the South-
wark-bridge-road were sold by auction by Mr. Marsh,
which are to be removed for the construction of the line to
communicate with the branch line passing over the Water-
loo-road to the terminus at Hungerford-market. The pre-
mises sold were situated in York-street, Southwark, the
Borough-market, Counter-street, and Park-street, the sale
here comprising some almshouses. Considerable progress
has taken place in the formation of the line on the
