Sailed.—All the outward bound, for the westward.

THE MACCARONI PARSON.—" The unfortunate"
Dr. Dodd—is related in Mr. Percy Fitzgerald's life
of him, to hare been thus described by a contemporary
satirist :—He does not pore with his eyes close to the book,
like a clerk that reads the first lesson, but is all exterapo-
ntry, with a cambric handkerchief in one hand and a dia-
mond ring on the other ; and then he wares this way and
that way, and he curtseys and bows and he bounces, that
all the people are ready to And then his wig! you
must admire his dear wig ; not with the bushy brown
buckles hanging and dropping like a Newfoundland
spaniel, but short, rounded off at the ear to show his plump
cherry cheeks, white as a curd, feather-topped, and the
curls as close as a cauliflower.

SOMETHING LIKE A FEE !—Speaking of doctors,
perhaps the largest fee that has ever been given by
any rank lower than Royalty was lately bestowed on M.
Nelaton, the famous surgeon. He has a private fortune of
his own, besides that which he has acquired by practice,
and he is no longer young. All these circumstances made
him decline to go to Russia and give his opinion, and if
necessary perform an operation there. He said that the
payment he should require for the journey, &c., would be
too high. " Name it," said the patient's friends. M.
Nelaton put on what he thought would be a prohibitory
price, 400,000 f. (£16,000), and he was immediately engaged
at that sum.—Pall Mall Gazette.

AN IRISH ABDUCTION CASE.—A singular charge
of abduction was preferred against a young man
named M'Gowan at the Sligo quarter sessions on Tuesday.
His victim was a young girl whose personal charms were
considerably enhanced by the fact that she had a marriage
portion of £5O. M'Gowan did not go through the formality
of a courtship. He carried her away with the assistance of
some friends, and offered her marriage, which she declined.
He then liberated her, and she married another man in two
hours afterwards. She now begged that the offence might
be overlooked, but his worship could not do so, and sen-
tenced M'Gowan to six months' imprisonment with hard
labour.

CONVICT LABOUR.—The last report of the visit-
ing justices of Hampshire states, that the receipts in
cash for industrial labour during the first quarter of the
present year amount to £406, against .447:in the corres-
ponding quarter of last year, the receipts for the last three
quarters having together amounted to £717, against £B4

feet two inches from the point of the nose to the tip
of the tail, and four feet hi height, was shot on the 2d ult.,
on foot, by three indigo planters with smooth-bored guns,
near Mungoul Factory. This ferocious animal had been
prowling about the neighbourhood for some days, com-
mitting numerous ravages amongst the natives and cattle
—in fact, this beast was so much dreaded by the natives of
the neighbourhood that they were afraid to go any distance
from the villages, and the delight shown by men, women,
and children at the death of this monster was surprising to
witness.—Calcutta Englishman.
The bulletin of the Paris Observatory gives the
following as the atmospheric state of Europe yes-
terday :—" In the west of Europe the sky was
cloudy this morning, and many of our correspon-
dents spoke of fog or rain. The wind was light
almost everywhere, the south of Spain and the Black
Sea excepted. The first of those regions was agi-
tated by easterly winds under the influence of violent
squalls passing between the Canaries and tho
Azores ; the other region felt the last effects of the
tempest which we have followed since 9th of April--
the day when it shoived itself between Ireland and
the Azores to this day, when it disappeared to the
south-east. On the 10th, its centre was over the
coasts of Norway ; on the 11th, near Dorpat,
(Russia) ; and on the 12th, in the Black Sea. Other
gales are following it, and their action is felt by us
only by the variable state of the sky or by rain.
The temperature in Moscow has become much
lower."—Yesterday, in Paris, the sky was at times
overcast, as if a storm was impending. The heat,
however, continued, the thermometer at three in
the afternoon marking 22i Cent. (72 2-5 Fahr.)
