An extra Gazette was published last night for the
purpose of publishing the usual notices of applications to Par-
liament for Railway and other Bills, prior to the meeting of
Parliament.

They write from the Vosges; that the lands in that
department are so swarming with field-mice, that everything
which can serve them for food is devoured, so that it has be-
come necessary to re-sow the ground with seeds, mixing them
at the same time with a portion prepared with arsenic. This
has had another bad effect, for vast numbers of partridges and
other birds have been found dead, in consequence of picking
up the poisoned grain ; and the evil may not stop here, if the
birds are eaten by persons ignorant of the cause of their death.

ASTOUNDING IMPROVEMENT IN ACOUSTICS,
&c.—An ingenious person has invented a new method for
conveying orders to coachmen, postilions, footmen, and cads,
from the inside of the vehicles they may drive or attend. It
consists of flexible India rubber tubes, passing between the ins
and the outs, so that the wishes of the former may be promptly
communicated to, and be obeyed by, the latter, as is done
through the metallic tubes in counting-houses, manufactories,
&c. This is a pleasant plan. Only imagine 14 passengers in
a bus, with each the pipe at his mouth, giving individual and
separate orders. 1. " Remember 59, Strand." 2. " Temple-
bar." 3. " Stop I stop 1" 4. " Which is the nearest point to
Leadenhall Market ?" 5. it ! you've passed the Adel-
phi • I told you —." 6. " Coacheel I say —." 7.
" Here's a lady ill ; I can't get down the window." 8. " I
insist on getting out." 9. " Please pull up on the left." 10
" Pull up on the right ; I won't walk through that mud."
11. "My pocket has been picked 1" 12. you, you
rascal l why don't you pull up? I'll pull you up l" Pleasant
travelling !—Literary Gazette.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE.--A very lengthened
investigation took place yesterday, at Union Hall Police-office,
relative to a charge brought against the mistress of a respect-
able lodging-house, in the Dover-road, by a girl who had re-
cently been in her service. According to the girl's statement,
her mistress had entered her bed-room on Monday night, after
she was in bed, and threatening to stab her in case of refusal,
had compelled her to drink some liquid, apparently for the
purpose of stupifying her. Subsequently her mistress bad
returned to the bed-room in company with a gentleman, and
held complainant down while that person committed a capital
assault upon her, in spite of her shrieks and struggles. The
accused, on being asked what she had to say in reply, appeared
amazed at the charge. She said the girl had been in her ser-
vice about a fortnight, and on the night in question had got
into the bed of her mistress instead of her own, and being re-
monstrated with, began screaming, and could with difficulty be
induced to go to her own apartment. The next morning
complainant left the house, but returned in the evening, and
collected a crowd of persons, for which she was given into
custody, but the charge was not pressed. The complainant
had omitted all mention of this circumstance in stating her
case; but, on reference to the constables at the station-house it
was found to be correct. The accused solemnly denied the
charge in every particular, and called a female lodger, who
swore that complainant, in detailing to her the particulars of
the outrage, had stated that the gentleman who had assaulted
her was her master, whereas, before the Magistrate, she said
the party in question was one of the lodgers. The girl per-
sisting in the truth of her statement, the inquiry was adjourned
for the production of medical evidence.
The Manchester Courier will have it that the
Municipal Elections throughout the country display in their
results a growing attachment in "the people" to Conserva-
tive principles, and consequently a proportionate distaste of
those held by the Liberals. The Courier's argument and
analysis display a good deal of ingenuity.
To a " provincial" who has an eye fer the
sublime in horse-flesh the London waggon steeds rivet his at •
tention at the very outset. This was decidedly the case with
James Hogg; and the young gentlemen who acted as cice-
rone to him during his visit to the metropolis informed us that
though he often called his attention to scenes of interest, ar-
ticles of vertu, or to an eqWpage, adorned by a galaxy of Lon-
don fair ones, the Bard of Yarrow, having his eye on a glo-
rious team, more than onco replied, " Odd, man, never mind
thae trifles; but did ever mortal see sic splendid brutes ?"

The successor of the late Sir R. Grant, in the Go-

awaits the meeting of the Cabinet.

It is stated that Otway Cave, M.P. for the Liberal
Tipperary, received a notice of death if he did not quit the
country. He is now in Dublin, and on Thursday was with the
Lord- Lieutenant on the state of Tipperary.--LLinierick Chron.

NAPOLEON'S AMBITION.—There is something
as great in Napoleon's struggles after a defeat, as in his exul-
tation after victory. The same wearing ambition, the same
consciousness that be was never made for the restraints of
ordinary laws, strike one as the absorbing feelings of his soul.
He could not, and he would not; descend to the level of corn-
MOTI men. Amid the snows of the north, which had become
the winding-sheet
of half his army, he could not help medi-
tating schemes of conquest and of government. Nothing
short of the.sceptre of Europe would satisfy him. This all-
grasping thirst for empire, which prompted him to many a
triumph, proved now the very cause of his downfall. On his
return from Russia he might with ease have settled down the
Emperor of France, and sat securely, by amusing the full-
grown children of that mercurial nation by fetes, and reviews,
and swelling
epithets. But this was no fame. He must make
another dash at Europe. He did so, and, like a too-daring
eagle, he was smitten by the thunderbolt, and pinned to a
desert rock.—Fraser 's Magazine.
Alsine, or chickweed, affords a remarkable instance
of the sleep of plants; for every night the leaves approach in
pairs so as to include with their upper surfaces th tender
rudiments of the new shoots; and the uppermost pair but one
t tlx end of the stalk ore furnished longer leaf stalks
than the others, so that they can close, upon the terminating
pair, and protect the end of the branch.
