AN AWKWARD RENCONTRE.—Last week a party
of Italians proceeded through the town of Hamilton, enter- II
taining their street auditors with it!rs discoursed from an unique
instrument, and amusing them with the performances of a
large monkey, dressed a la Celtic. A Highlander, but re-
cently arrived from his native mountains, who was a spectator,
gazed upon the astonishing feats of what he considered a
countrymen ; and, his heart warming at the sight of the tartan;
ha pressed forward to see if he could recognise in the per_
former an acquaintance. Donald no sooner became aware of
the imposition than he resolved to sacrifice the monkey to the
honour of his insulted country, and seizing upon 'poor jock°,
with many imprecations, said " He would learn the bhrutc
bhesst to wear my clan's tartan." The t'rrified Italians in.
terpcsed to save their coadjutor, but only to turn the rage of
the mountaineer.on themselves, and our mountaineer soon had
the trio in his powerful grasp, exclaiming that he would
" knock the music out o' tat tam't box toe." There was little
probability of the foreigners getting unscathed from their op-
ponent's embrace, when fortunately the police hove in sight,
and relieved the gasping musicians.—Glasgow Argus.
ABSENCE OF MIND (NOT AMERICAN).—A Cu-
rious instance of this complaint occurred one night last week
to a bacon merchant of St. Thomas, who returned from ajour-
ney by way of Kennford, where he had transacted some busi-
ness. He had a horse and cart, and on proceeding about half
a mile from that place halted, when he took out his horse,
mounted, and rode as far as the turnpike-gate, forgetting his
cart and the contents thereof. The turnpike-man thought it
strange to see him on horseback, and asked him what he had
done with his cart, about which he appeared quite oblivious.
The next morning, although still a little confused, he found
that he was minus his cart and stock in trade, on which he
again mounted his faithful steed, and went in quest of it. He
found that it had been put into an orchard, and relieved of one
piece of bacon, which we suppose the party who found the cart
took for the labour of removing it. lie then took home his
cart; and the story having gone abroad, caused many jokes
to be passed on the missing flitch, and recommendations that,
in his future journies, he should care to " save his bacon I"
Western Luminary.
TIIE FUGITIVE MYERS.—On Friday, the 10th
its,ant, Myers set off for Brussels by the diligence. It ap-
pears the French Government refused to give him up to God-
dard, the Bow-street officer, although he came armed with the
verdict of a Coroner's Inquest, declaring he,. was guilty of a
wilful murder. Now, far be it from us to hunt the unfortunate
accused into the hands of criminal justice ; but by this refusal
of the Sub-Prefect to surrender the accused into the hands of
the English authorities it must be obvious that no criminal
will in future be given up, and France may henceforth he con-
sidered a sure " City of Refuge" for malefactors of all grades,
and however enormous their crimes may have been. Goddard
travelled with Myers and his wife to 'Brussels, no doubt with
the intention of endeavouring to obtain him from the
Belgian Government, after he crossed the French fron-
tiers. What success attended his application we know not, as
we cannot find that Goddard has yet returued to Boulogne.
Of course Myers was neither aware who the person was who
was journeying with him to Brussels, nor of the nature of his
object. We believe that on au officer authorised by the
French Government appearing before a magistrate in England,
to charge an individual with murder, that individual would be
immediately surrendered up to justice, even if he were a
