THE CATTLE Stow.—The first of November is
the last day on which entries of live stock can be made
for the show of the Smithfield Club. It is to be held in
the New Agricultural Hall in December, when a magni-
ficent collection of stock will, we believe, for the first time
in the history of the club, be worthily housed.

THE FEMALE BLONDIN.—On Friday last the
female Blondin was removed on crutches from St. Bartho-
lomew's Hospital, a cripple for the rest of her life, from the
accidental fracturing of the neck of the thigh bone, more
than two months ago, at Highbury Barn, while obeying the
morbid and romantic desire of the present age for perilous
adventures. The fractured limb is thre inches shorter
than the
characteri ostithc,er,
she wished the s and perfectly useless. With a courage truly
urgeons to amputate the
limb if it could not be
dangling uselessly by the side the
other one, and requiring support which she might find very
difficult to obtain for the maintenance of the sound one.
What renders the case of this unfortunate artist the more
distressity, is, she was the only support of an aged and in-
firm father and an invalid sister.

The tomb of Waller in Beaconsfield Church is
being repaired by Mr. H. Harley, of Windsor, under the
direction of the poet's descendants.

ward of the London Hospital from fracture of the skull and
other violence. The deceased is supposed to be highly re •
spectable, and his friends reside at Belfast,
