POPULATION OP FRANKFORT.—According to a census
taken in December last, the state of Frankfort contains
73,150 inhabitants, of whom 62,511 are in the city, and
10,639 in the country. In the above number are in-
cluded 829 soldiers of tile contingent. The federal gar-
rison not included in the above amounts to 4,821 men,
so that the total number of the inhabitants is 77,971. In
1849 the inhabitants of the city numbered 58,426, and
of the country 10,038, so that the population has in-
creased 3,814 in three years. The federal garrison com-
prises 1,717 Austrians, 1,713 Prussians, and 1,391
Bavarians. There are now in Germany eight sovereign
States each of which has a population inferior to that of
Frankfort, and before the territorial modifications of
Anhalt and Hohenzollern there were twelve.

EXTRAORDINARY CArTURE.-A bull-dog belonging to
a person named James Burnett, engaged as night watch-
man at the works and foundry near the South \Vales
Railway-bridge at Chepstow, a few mornings back was
attracted by an unusual motion in the river, near one of
the slender pillars of the bridge. All at once he sud-
denly plunged into the water and seized the object which
caused the commotion. A severe struggle ensued, which
ended in the dog bringing his victim on shore, when his
owner discovered it to be a ling fish, a species very eel--
dom seen in the Wye. It was of great size, and weighed
no less than 1441 b.
