CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. The " Animals'
Friend Society," of Mark-lane, last week caused Mr. William
Krisp and -- Watts to be fined for cruelty to their horses.
The Society also charged the hackney coachman 393 with
having violently whipped a horse over the head and cars while
standing quietly in the ranks, which offence the coachman did
not deny ; but Alderman Farebrother said he did not consider
that there was any cruelty in whipping a horse over the ears
and dismissed the charge with costs on the prosecutor ! •

A few days since a young woman of Northfleet at-
tempted to commit suicide by throwing herself into a well.
An immediate alarm was given by a man who had witnessed
the act from a short distance, and a person having been at
once lowered in the bucket, brought her up from the bottom,
a distance of 96 feet, in a state of insensibility. On being
examined by a medical gentleman, it was found that she had
received no further injury than that occasioned by the shock
from falling such a distance, having miraculously escaped
from touching either side of the well. There being from
three to four feet of water at the bottom at the time, it had
broken her fall. _ .

Accordin, to Sam Slick there are certain provinces
in the United States where Scotchmen in mercantile concerns
arc as simple as babes, and Jews starve
The cattle are dying off at a shocking rate in sotrie
parts of New Hampshire by some unknown disease. The bo-
dies putrify so soon after death, that it is necessary to bury
them immediately. Some persons had been poisoned by at-
tempting to skin the dead animals.—Gazette.
The sugar manufactured from beetroot in France is
stated to amount annually to 55,000 tons, or one-half of the

A beautiful specimen of the rose-coloured starling
(turdus rosens, Lihn.) was lately shot at Magilligan. ThiS
bird is a very rare visitant in this country. It is found in vii-
rious parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa, and is generally mi-
gratory. It seems to prefer the warmer climates, is fond of
locusts, and frequf-nts the places where those destructive in-
sects abound ; on which account it is held samed by the in-
habitants of those countrit•s infested by them. —.Waterford
