The two men capitally convicted at the late Durham
Assizes, of a rape, and left there for execution, have both been
reprieved, on condition of their being transported for life.
About a day or two after the time when they would have been
executed, had their conditional reprieve not arrived, one of the
fraternity of " flying stationers," as they call themselves, was
busily employed in calling through the streets of Carlisle,
" The last dying speech and confession of the two men who
were executed at Durham," &c. Time, however, brought the
intelligence that the two culprits had had their sentence miti-
gated, and, as a matter of course, the " flying stationer" fled

The present mackarel season, in spite of its early
commencement, has been, in point of fact, as back ward as any
that have taken place for many years past. Such a constant
succession of stormy weather has been seldom known, added
to which the extreme cold and sharp frosts seems to have kept
the fish back. The boats have been to sea during the present
week, but the catch has been very short—the boats averagin.,
but a small number each. The fullest and best part of the
season, both for fish and fishermen, is now approaching, and it
is to be hoped it will prove productive to the hands engaged
in it.—Btighton Gazette.
SCOTCH LOTTERIES.—The Crown Counsel have
issued a Circular throughout the country declaratory of the il-
legality of disposing of merchandise by lottery.
On Sunday evening, about eight o'clock, a despe-
rate attack was made on the Police by the ruffians about
Vauxhall-road. The fire-bell had to be rung, and this method
of extending alarm again succeeded, for the Police attended
in such force that nine of the rioters were captured, and the
rest dispersed. Four of the Police constables have been seri-
ously injured. —Liverpool Albion.
The late inclement weather has occasioned great de-
struction of lambs on the Welsh Hills, in Radnorshire, Meri-
onethshire, Carnarvonshire, and Cardiganshire—some farmers
have lost from two to three hundred. On Friday, the Ist
instant, it snowed the greater portion of the day, and in some
parts of the country, the snow was very deep. The game,
particularly hares, must have suffered severely from the con-
tinued cold weather. ,

In the post mortent examination of the body of
General Baron Strauch, who died lately at Vienna, a ball was
found which this superior officer had received 30 years before
in the wars of the empire.
The Town Council of Bath have decided on ad-
mitting the public to their discussions.
DRUNKENNESS.—On Sunday afternoon a man,
named Samuel Stockwell, who had for some time been work-
ing on the Birmingham railroad at Kensal-green, while drink-
ing with some of his companions at the William the Fourth
palichouse, in that village, for a wager drank off half a pint
of rum at a draft. After sitting for a few minutes he sud-
denly fell off his seat in a state of insensibility, and expired in
less than half an hour afterwards.
Tartar, in its impure form, as deposit from wine,
must have been known at a very early period. "It is called
tartar," says Paracelsus, " because it produces oil, water,
tincture, and salt, which burns the patient as hell does."
The report of the intended visit of his Royal High-
ness the Prince of Orange to this country, mentioned in the
Hague Journals, we are enabled to confirm, preparations being
now making for the Prince's arrival. His Royal Highness's
visit to this country is stated to be unconnected with politics,
and arises from a wish of placing two of his sons (Prince
Alexander and Prince William Frederick are named) at one of
the British Universities to finish their education. Such an
object the Prince contemplated last year, but circumstances
prevented his leaving Holland.
Last month there died, near Douay, a youth aged
14, who measured six feet nine inches English.
The mail coach between Newcastle and Carlisle
was discontinued on the sth instant, and the post is now co-
veyed in a gig.
THE TEA TRADE, MONDAY.—The deliveries
last week amounted to rather above 507,0001 b. The im-
ports from Canton were 20,760 chests, 5,083 half-chests, 660
quarter chests, and 644 boxes of tea. The private trade
sales are proceeding with much activity.
The Tweed Fishing Company have during the last
and present week imported a large supply of ice from Bergen ;
which, in consequence of the mildness of the winter, they were
unable to obtain as formerly at our own doors.
SOUTH WARWICKSHIRE CONSERVATIVE As-
soclivrtox.—The Warwick Advertiser in allusion to the
speeches which were delivered at the meeting, recommends to
its readers " a studious perusal of the various eloquent
speeches, more especially those from the hallowed lips of
Reverend Divines, whereby they may learn that to misrepre-
sent facts, to impute evil motives, to abuse the chosen Minis-
ters of the King, and to invoke the God of Heaven, while en-
gaged in Bacchanalian indulgences, is not only morally cor-
rect, but the best evidence of sincere devotion to the Church,
to the Sovereign, his Crown and dignity,' and to the great
interests of the State ; and that the fiery spirit of political
animosity is strictly consistent with the lowliness of heart, the
universal charity, and the meekness of mind, inspired by the
influence of true Christian piety !"
