The Jardin des Plantes, Paris, has just lost one of its
most interesting animals. The zebra, which has been
domiciled there since 1826, has died of old age.
THE DUCHESS OF ORLEANS.—This estimable lady,
who has for several months been residing at Bitley,
near Plymouth, the seat of E. R. P. Bastard, Esq., will
in a few days leave this neighbourhood for Germany,
her Royal Highness's medical advisers considering the
winter in England would be prejudicial to her health.
Her children, grandsons of the late Louis Philippe, King
of the French, are educated in the Roman Catholic
faith, though her Royal Highness is a Protestant, and
has attended the parish church of Yealmpton.
MORMONISM IN WALEs.—The adherents to the doc-
trines of Mormonism increase rather than diminish in
those districts of South Wales where they have estab-
lished themselves, and of late they have received an
accession of strength in several persons of middle class
station. A well-known Welsh lecturer, named Robert
Parry, better known by his appellation of "Robyn
Ddu," has recently joined the ranks of Mormonism, and
is now holding forth to these deluded people. An exten-
sive exodus has taken place during the summer, and
numbers have found their way over to the waters of the
Salt Lake. Large bodies of these misguided people have
left Glamorganshire, Carmarthenshire, and the hill
country of Monmouth for America, and numbers will
leave their native land next spring for their fancied
elysium. Miracles are reported to have been performed
by the elders of the sect, all of which are faithfully be-
lieved by their dupes.
THE HIGHEST BRIDGE IN BRlTAlN.—Vigorous pre-
parations are being made for commencing the new line
of railway from the Motherwell junction of the Cale-
donian Railway to Lesmahagow. The bridge over the
Nathan will be the loftiest in Britain, considerably ex-
ceeding that of the high level bridge at Newcastle. The
latter is 112 feet above high-water mark, but the bridge
over the Nathan is to be 140 feet high.

Watkinson, Esq., proprietor of the Spalding
Free Press, dated Dec. 15, 1852 :—" Dear Sir,—A cot-
tager, residinf, at Moulton, has requested me to send
you the particularst' of the almost miraculous cure effected
by using your ointment and pills ; the sufferer's name is
Hewdle, who injured his leg about 14 years ago, and
although he was under medical treatment for weeks toge-
ther he derived no benefit. At the age of 60 another
accident happened to the already injured leg, which left
it in a fearful condition. However, by the use of your
medicines alone, his leg has been perfectly cured.---Sold
