The Duchess of Gordon has abandoned her in.
intention of returning to Bolgrave-square this season. Her
Grace has passed the preceding part of the winter at Huntley
Lodge in Scotland.
On the night of Thursday, eight head of cattle be-
longing to Mr. Emanuel Pritchard, of Easton Grey, near
Malmesbury, strayed from their field into an adjoining brake.
Two of the number, a very fine three-year old heifer in sea-
son, and a valuable cow near calving, have since died, it is
supposed from having eaten some poisonous shrub when feed-
ing in the plantation. The heifer, on going to a pool to drink,
dropped down and expired, and some yew tree was found in
her stomach.

Monday, in consequence of the thaw, which had
the probability of a continuance, Mr. Pritchard, the Superin-
tendent of the Royal Humane Society, accompanied by some
of his men, proceeded to the spot where the melancholy acci-
dent occurred on Sunday, the 14th inst. After breaking the
ice for a considerable distance, and frequently using the drags,
they at length proceeded in dragging up the body of a gentle-
man dressed in black.

Last night, about half-past seven o'clock, as a gen-
tleman named Atkins was crossing Pall-mall he was by some
means or other prostrated on the road under the feet of the
horses of the Duke of Brunswick's carriage, and before the
coachman could pull up, the fore-wheel of the carriage had
reached his body. On the coach being stopped some persons
who were passing attempted to rescue the unfortunate man from
his perilous situation, when it was discovered that the fore-
wheel of the carriage was resting on Mr. Atkins's arm. With
assistance he was conveyed to Charing-cross Hospital, where,
on examination it was found that he had sustained a compound
fracture of the arm, and other injuries.

A tailor, having heard a great deal about the famous
cow-cabbage, went to see it. "Is that all ?" said he, " Why
that's nothing to the cabbage I have seen I"
COTTAGES NEAR QUEBEC.-Crossing the St.
Charles River by a wooden drawbridge, where we paid a toll
of Is. 3d., and passing the Marine Hospital, one of the largest
buildings in Quebec, we proceeded down the right bank of the
St. Lawrence for nearly nine miles, passing a number of cot-
tages on both sides of the road, and the straggling village of
Beaufort. The cottages, in their general appearance and
neatness, having a flower garden in front and flowers inside,
recal to mind those of the mother country, France; the ma-
jority of the inhabitants of Lower Canada being of French ex-
traction, and retaining their original language. Their form,
sprightly disposition, dress, and manners, are to this day de-
cidedly French. They live separate from the British, re-
fusing to amalgamate with them, and of late years scarcely
holding any intercourse with them, owing to the difference in
politics. On the other hand, they readily suit themselves to
the Indian character. There is a very striking contrast be-
tween their cottages and those of the Irish, who come next to
them in number. Looking out of almost every French cot-
tage we observed a pretty girl, the very picture of cheerfulness,
and the interior was always very neat and clean. The build-
ing is of one story, and generally contains a single apartment,
with a large stove in the centre, and wooden bedsteads in the
corners ; but sometimes there is a bedroom apart. The Irish
cottages, although of the same size, and constructed of the
same materials—being built of wood, and covered with
shingles, are much less neat and cleanly. The shingles are
thin pine boards, which, after exposure to the weather for some
time, so much resemble slates in appearance, that a stranger
would readily take them for such. Even the Irish children
seen about the cottages have a very 'different appearance from
the French—the former being demure and dogged, while the
latter are all liveliness and full of frolic. —Logan's Journey
through Canada.
