PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS.

LEGACY DUTY.—The amount of capital on which the seve-
ral rates of Legacy Duty have been paid in the years 1834
and 1835, is 41,092,6601. 15s. 11d.
PUBLIC PETITIONS.—The. last official report is now lying
upon our table, and in looking at the number of petitions,
embracing a vast variety of political points, we are struck by
the disproportion which is exhibited in regard to the numerical
amount of petitions and signatures. Whilst, for instance, the
silly busy bodies, and the more odious hypocrites, who range
themselves under Sir Andrew Agnew's standard for enforcing
Sabbath sourness and all manner of unrighteous restriction,
have beat up no less than 76,731 recruits; there are little
above a thousand petitioners for the introduction into our elec-
toral system of the Ballot. We would just hint to those
who would wish to see the real representatives of the people
returned to serve them in Parliament, that to trust wholly to
the involuntary growth of this question in the public mind, is
to delay the accomplishment of a measure essentially necessary
to a full and fair representation.

Last week, a dog belonging to Mr. R. Sherrill, of
Revesby Bank, whilst in a rabid state broke its chain, and ran
to East Kirkby, two miles off, thence to Miningsby, Hamer-
ingham, and other villages, as far as South Ormsby, where it
was shot, but not until it had bitten several persons, sheep,
pigs, dogs, &c. It was followed to Ormsby, a distance of 15
miles, by Mr. Simons, of Miningsby, on foot, with a loaded
gun, and without his hat.—Lincoln Gazette.
BEES.--A remarkable fact occurred at Mil'brook
this week. A hive had just swarmed, and were seeking some-
where to alight, when one of the observers stooped down in a
corner for the purpose, and the whole settled on his back, from
which they were immediately hived, and without doing him
the least harm. We keyw the parties well wb were present.
