4 The Common Council of the city of Cork at a
recent meeting resolved unanimously to express
their thanks to Sir DAvir, PEaxzEa, the Mayor of
that city, for his conspicuous loyalty in having
first proposed the public celebration in that city
by Jubilee on the Centenary AnniVersaly of the
Accession of the House of BRUNSWICK to the
throne of these realms, and for the judicious and
unremitted attention evinced 'bv him in the dis-
charge of his various duties as Chief Magistrate,
and for the splendid, dignified, and independent
manner in which he has upheld' the rank of the,
first municipal Officer of that
,great commercial
City. This measure is equally honourable to the
Corporation who gave and the Magistrate who
received this tribute of civic respect and, appro..'
bation.

N4Tuk4r. CURIOSITY.:—In the shop of BEN-
JAMIN DIXON, at Egremont, Scotland,
there is the butt of an ash-tree, upon which the
anvil has stood, and been worked upon for ttp•
wards of [we've
years. The outside appears to
be quite rotten ; but in the course of this summer,
twelve branches have sprung front it, which at
this time are full of leaves, and seemingly in the
most healthy condition.
