ATTEMPTED MURDER.—The village of Stratton
St. Margaret, near Swindon, Wilts, was thrown into
considerable excitement on Friday last, owing to Mr.
Abel Habgood; sou of Mr. John Habgood, of that village,
having ben shot at ou the previous night, on the Swin-
don and Lechdale turnpike road. It appears that Mr.
Habgood had visited the neighbourhood of Lechdale cn
Thursday last, and was returning home between ten and
eleven o'clock in the evening, in a gig, when he was
accosted by a man on the road, about a mile from the
town of Highworth, who requested a lift to Swindon.
This was acceded to, and the two entered into conversa-
tion, about two miles on the road, until they arrived
at a cross-roads where the man requested to alight. Mr.
Habgood inarnediat, ly pulled up his horse, and his com-
panion, seizing the reins in one hand, drew a pistol with
the other, and fired full in the face of Mr. Habgood,
and then decamped. The pistol fortunately was not
loaded with a ball, but shot only, several of which Mr.
Habgood received in his face and hat. Medical assist-
ance was procured, and a number of shots have been
extracted from his head and face. The police are now
actively engaged in ttacing out the guilty person, it
being generally susp d that jealousy only, and not
robb•ry, was the iostigati,,n of this diabolical attempt.
NEW WAY TO DRESS VEGETABLES.—With plain
boiled peas, when just boiled I put in a stewpan a little
milk, butter, cayenne pepper, nt:d one ounce of grated
Parmezan cheese, stir two minuMt, and serve. French
beans may be dressed the same way, as also young
broad beans and caulifbwers, ur any small vegetables

Mayors ie Newcastle and Gateshead, &c. In proposing
" Toe Health of the Queen," the chairman stated that it
was ler .itajesty's intention to pass through Berwick,
and to avail herself (.1 the East Coast line on her return
from Scotland. The health of Sir G. Grey having been
proposed from the chair, and enthusiastically received,
the Right Hon. Baronet expressed his obligations for the
opportunity which their kind invitation had afforded him
of renewing and maintaining the intercourse which
ought to exist between a representative and his cousti-
tuents. He felt grateful that atter the events which had
convulsed a great part of the continent he was now ad-
dressing his constituents r.t a period of universal do-
mestic peace and quiet. The chairman had alluded to
the visit of her Majesty to Ireland. It had been his
happiness to be in attendance on her Majesty Wit
